When the Stonebreaker surfaced from Mandeville Point in the system where Armageddon is located, this battle barge belonging to the Iron Warriors had just emerged when it was attacked by several major orc clans.

Fortunately, Perturabo was well prepared for this. Before jumping out of the subspace, Captain Fagatu left the headquarters and went to the prison in the lower cabin to drag out the sacrifices that had been prepared.

They were serfs kidnapped from the agricultural world of the Human Empire. They were half-clothed and bruised, and they were restrained in a dark and crowded lower cabin.

Fagatu casually picked up two slaves and threw them into a black mechanical device similar to a 'millstone'. This was an ancient relic from the dark age of technology, an artifact entrusted to him by the original body himself before setting off.

As energy is pumped into the pipeline, the mechanical 'millstone' begins to rotate, and the overflowing blood slides down the gaps in the millstone, forming a beautiful bloody pattern on the altar.

Sharp cries echoed in the deep cabins of the Stonebreaker. They were the screams of the souls of slaves whose bodies were worn away by mechanical millstones. The ancient machinery drank in the pure blood, and the holy relics from the dark age of technology began to operate.

The high-explosive bombs and biting lasers launched by the orcs in the distance were about to hit the Stone Breaker's outer shield. However, as the mechanical millstone rotated, the sacred objects from the Dark Ages were awakened, and these attacks mysteriously disappeared. .

The airspace in front of the Stonebreaker was empty, and no torpedoes or lasers ever flew towards them.

This is the ability of this holy relic that requires human blood to be activated. It does not directly resist/deflect enemy attacks like a conventional energy shield, nor does it transfer the attacks it receives into the subspace like a void shield. It flooded.

The 'mechanical millstone' directly erased the cause of the Stonebreaker's injuries from the source. The orcs' cannon bores were cold, and they had not launched any attacks from just now until now.

"The Paradox Engine, a dark relic that erases 'facts' like an eraser erases a pencil drawing." Fabius Bayer recognized the cause of this horrific phenomenon.

Briefly introduce the principle of the paradox engine, assuming that Bayer is about to be shot at this moment:

The enemy pulls out a gun - aims at Bayer's head - pulls the trigger - fires the bullet - hits the headshot

This is a complete assassination process.

If you want to stop this process, generally speaking, you have to find a way to shoot down the enemy's weapon before he shoots, or you can quickly find a bunker to avoid and then wait for an opportunity to counterattack, or you can strike first and shoot the enemy with your backhand to see who has the American style. Iai is relatively fast.

The way the Paradox Engine solves this problem is to make the bullet that hit itself not exist from the beginning.

"Humans in the Dark Ages have studied science so deeply that many of the relics left by the Jin people are like gods to us." Fagatu Rejilok looked coldly at the blood flowing in front of his eyes and gradually slowed down. He picked up a sleeping person and threw him into the dry mechanical millstone, and then, a loud cry came from the mechanical millstone.

A few seconds later, a ball of pink minced meat was sent to the food processing plant on an automatic conveyor belt.

Most things in the dark technological age are like this: easy to use, powerful, and inexpensive. The disadvantage is that only the most morally corrupt and extreme means can be used to activate these mysterious ancient relics.

This is also the reason why the so-called golden age of mankind is officially called the "Dark Age of Science and Technology". The scientific research of the Jin people is often dark and twisted, and they use all kinds of atrocities that dehumanize to promote their research.

When human beings' footprints spread across the star sea, the threat of aliens was suppressed by powerful human technology, and the only thing that harmed the human race was human beings themselves.

The Stonebreaker's engines rushed towards Armageddon at full speed. The large number of green-skinned garbage ships gathered in the galaxy were already going crazy. Attacks from various tribes and clans came one after another, including torpedoes, guided missiles, nova cannons, macro cannons, etc. Subspace wave cannon... Various weapons launched various attacks. The ocean of matter and energy engulfed the Iron Warriors' battle barge in a sea of ​​death.

However, the Paradox Engine continued to run, and the Stonebreaker moved straight forward, as if the sea of ​​blazing energy in front of it did not exist.

Yes, it doesn't exist, it never existed.

"This is the glory of mankind from the golden age. At that time, we were the masters of the galaxy, and the aliens could only tremble under the oppression of our powerful technology." Fagatu Regirock said, grabbing two sleeping people The baby girl was casually thrown into the continuously rotating mechanical millstone.

The operation of the holy relic requires the consumption of pure human flesh and soul, and children who have not experienced the world are undoubtedly the purest.

As for whose child or treasure they were before they were kidnapped by the Iron Warriors...who cares?

At least the great scientist of the Golden Age who developed the Paradox Engine wouldn't care.

Rampanting all the way, the Stonebreaker arrived in the orbit above Armageddon. Drop pods filled with fully armed Iron Warriors were shot to the ground. At the same time, Captain Fagatu and Pharmacist Fabius Bayer also began to prepare to board the last airborne capsule and head to the ground.

"According to reliable information provided by undercover agents within the Human Empire, the artifact 'The Last Ba'au' first appeared in the Esbanese sector in the Far Eastern Star Region. The planet Gaia, which was infected by green-skin spores, also started from the Far Eastern Star Region. spread."

While arranging his surgical equipment, Fabius Bayer said: "To extract Bao's genetic factors, I need living specimens from the orc clans in the Far Eastern Star Territory. The more the better, in the orc social class The higher the status, the better.”

In this way, the chance of restoring Bao can be maximized.

"Understood." First Company Commander Fagatu put on his helmet and walked into the final airborne capsule with Bayer.

Shouting a battle cry of "Steel inside and out!", the Iron Warriors launched an orbital airborne landing on Armageddon, which was completely occupied by green skins.

After the last drop pod landed, the Stonebreaker battle barge in orbit immediately launched an emergency subspace jump - the number of orcs gathered at Armageddon was too great, and if it weren't for the artifact of the Paradox Engine, Thanks to the blessing, the Iron Warriors could not get close to Armageddon at all, and under the long-term concentrated fire of the orc tribe, the 'energy' of the Paradox Engine was about to be exhausted.

While the Captain led the Iron Warriors to collect 'specimens' for Bayer's research, the Stonebreaker made a short-distance blind jump into subspace. They would randomly select a lucky Imperial planet to launch an invasion to replenish the Paradox Engine. 'energy'.

Armageddon, which has always been lively, is particularly lively today, as the battle for the Great Khan begins.
