Emperor's Daughter of the Red Sands

Chapter 150
As the Iron Man incident came to an end, the wind and sand in Colchis returned to calmness again, just like the thousands of years this ancient religious planet spent in the old night, which were ordinary.

However, Elaine did not choose to leave Colchis immediately.

On the one hand, it is a consideration of the current state of the Word Bearers, and on the other hand, it is a consideration of the loyalty of the surviving Ironmen.

Although the treaty and cooperation have been reached, Iron Man's loyalty has never been a non-committal question - even Elaine can't guarantee whether the Iron Man who is under his surveillance at any time and at any time will be like the aliens who rebelled against the Human Federation in the old night era. It's also untrustworthy, and with just a little negligence... it can easily lead to catastrophe.

Therefore, based on the most conservative estimate, Elaine was prepared to wait for the special frequency band astrological communication from Terra before taking the iron man away from Colchis.

Of course, this special frequency band is the frequency band used by the Primarch to communicate directly with the Emperor.

"It seems that you still don't trust our covenant."

In the built-in quantum space of Elaine's portable data board, Iron Man looked helplessly at the various supervisory units and firewalls with extremely large traffic and data.

Since the mechanical tower incident, Elaine has uploaded Iron Man directly into her data pad to prevent any uncontrolled situation from happening.

"This is just a necessary measure, [The Silent One]."

Elaine spoke casually, seemingly without any intention of locking her partner in the supervision room.

After confirming that the iron man's body was the body of the Tzeentch demon she had seen in the past, Elaine had already raised the opponent's danger level to the highest level.

If not for anything else, it's because the Iron Man core that is being analyzed contains too many indescribable terrible secrets.

The star-devouring iron plague that can devour planets, and the latitude anchor that easily crosses the subspace curtain. Before fully studying the full picture of those weird technologies, Elaine didn't even have the courage to restore them to reality.

Although Elaine intends to reproduce the technology that is beneficial to mankind, Elaine is still more cautious about such a Pandora's Box that contains terrible things.

"What's more... your situation is too special. I dare not directly confirm that you have no ill intentions towards the Human Empire."

"Before my father comes, just stay inside - although I can't guarantee whether the structure of this thing is as old-fashioned as the stone in the hands of primitive people in your eyes, I can guarantee it. Yes, I could absolutely smash this datapad into electronic junk before you could break through those dynamic floating point firewalls."

Elaine threatens the Silent One threateningly.

Having said that, even Elaine was not very sure. After all, she was not sure whether the Emperor would be angry because of his hatred of intelligence.

Therefore, some things must be cleared with his old man first, otherwise... maybe one day, Nuceria will bear the wrath of the Space Wolves and even the Dark Angels.

"Simple threat and logic, but quite effective."

In this regard, the Silent One did not deny Elaine's methods. In its view, this threat was undoubtedly real and effective.

After all, if its consciousness data stream is completely damaged in a closed environment, without any data backup, then its existence can also be defined as death.

However, the Silent Man still didn't understand Elaine's approach: "-However, since I agreed to upload my consciousness to your personal device, the fate of this data stream is completely in your hands... So I still don’t quite understand why you always maintain such a high level of resistance to this unit.”

Faced with this question, Elaine suddenly fell silent for a moment and said slowly.

"Humanity has been betrayed, that's all."

Yes, the reason is simple.

Betrayal is a word that is hard to remember, and it is also a word that carries countless tragedies.

Elaine could only give such an objective answer to the Silent Man's question about trust.

Perhaps from the perspective of the empire, she can give a more perfect answer - but at the same time, Elaine, who has another perspective, has to admit one fact. Judging from the information she has, that is The revelation and denouement of Iron Man's Rebellion make no sense.

She had also imagined whether the timeline of harmonious coexistence between humans and Iron Men would be established, but the fact is that all Iron Men handed down from that era are all hateful intelligences with extremely malicious intent towards humans. They treat humans with malice and murderous intent. It's definitely close to hatred.

Too many unreasonable things have happened in this dark and cold universe, like a great rebellion that is destined to happen, and the King of Darkness who is destined to ascend the altar. Both history and the future have been shrouded in a layer of fog that is difficult to see through. So shrouded that the information density in some huge crises cannot be preserved in the form of data, thus returning to the most primitive recording method of mankind.

Carve words on stone.

No information in this vast epic, measured in millennia, survives intact into the next epoch.

Whether it is the vagueness of the Old Night Era and the Age of Dark Technology, or the incomprehensibility of looking back at the Great Crusade era in the two dark millennia of No. 40, those complex things will always disappear completely with time, and there is only one The unforgettable, simple and easy-to-understand ending and summary will be engraved on the stone tablets of history by those who come later to serve as a warning for everything that will follow.

And this is like a sentence that appears on the background board. It has no emotion and no strength. It just coldly presents to others everything that has happened in this story, and it is rough and full of holes.

As a Primarch, Elaine can of course question the Emperor about the secrets of the Dark Age of Technology, how much betrayal humanity suffered in the Old Night, or what kind of information the enemies in the High Sky have, or even Just how many stories are buried in Iron Man's Rebellion.

But what would those answers change?
Even the Emperor, whose abilities and knowledge were countless times greater than his own, couldn't do anything about those things, but what could Elaine do.

As a Primarch, Elaine's duty was to be an extension of the Emperor's will - it was only her knowledge that her inarticulate father was unwilling to create 21 tools at his disposal that gave the Primarchs the power to control their will. Put the empty column of [Soul].

What she has to do is both simple and complex.

That is to give up most of the careful thinking that should be done, not to make any guesses about the actions of the savior of mankind, and to continue to move forward in the direction he pointed out to the human empire.
