Chapter 86

~6 min read 1,178 words

The Canoptek Scarabs of the Iron Stone Town forge factory were completely wiped out by the Heldrake, and the burning psychic flames almost dyed half the sky a creepy blood color!

The scorching high temperature made the wilderness heat waves steam!

Looking from a distance, the flames burning in the forge factory were like a huge furnace!

Although the Canoptek Scarabs were the overlords of the galaxy, the product of the Necrons.

But unfortunately, having lost the master control program and relying only on the residual underlying programs, the Canoptek Scarabs, originally used to repair living metal, were not the opponent of a Heldrake at all, let alone a Chaos Daemon Engine under full awakening and being controlled by someone?

Roar—

After the Heldrake wiped out all the residual Canoptek Scarabs, it landed on the wreckage of the forge factory.

A figure draped in a pure black robe actually came down from the Heldrake, staring at the charred wreckage everywhere, the completely destroyed forge factory, and fell into a long silence.

But, what made people feel amazed was that his whole body was covered with cables and circuits, and behind the black robe were several prosthetic limbs completely composed of machinery.

Its unique modification style was clearly a characteristic that only a Tech-Priest of the Adeptus Mechanicus would possess!

But on the clothing that was different from the rust-red robes of the Adeptus Mechanicus, a weird badge of eight spikes surrounding a skull and human face was printed.

If Alvin saw this scene, he would definitely be shocked!

Because that was clearly the badge of the 'Dark Mechanicum', whose origin could be traced back to the distant Horus Heresy period!

"Trash, is just trash."

The Dark Mechanicum Tech-Priest's tone was mixed with heavy dissatisfaction: "Helped so much, and ended up turning things into this; what a piece of trash!"

The entire forge factory's metal, energy, including the Chaos Servitors, were almost all devoured by the Canoptek Scarabs, just like a locust swarm passing through, leaving nothing behind.

And in the flames of the 'Heldrake', the small amount of remaining machinery was melted.

At this point, the entire forge factory was completely destroyed, basically having no utilization value.

The Dark Mechanicum Tech-Priest boarded the Heldrake and landed in the bottom area of the forge factory.

Following the remaining clues, he found the incomplete white bones, staring at the traces of the neck vertebrae clearly cut off next to it, and let out a creepy sneer: "Sure enough, it's a piece of trash!"

Although he had long had a guess, after confirming that the genes of those white bones belonged to Rashid Hadley, he still couldn't stop sneering.

Although the Canoptek Scarabs theoretically could decompose anything, for biological skeletons, this kind of resource and energy were pitifully small substances, and they were disdainful.

Thanks to the Canoptek Scarabs, this allowed Rashid to leave a 'complete corpse'.

"Wasted so many resources of mine for nothing, and just died like this?"

The Dark Mechanicum Tech-Priest stepped hard on the skull, filled with dissatisfaction: "Cost me a Daemon Engine; what a piece of trash, garbage, scum!"

Every Daemon Engine is extremely precious!

Putting it into any battle has the power to change the entire situation, but this Brass Scorpion Daemon Engine had just been forged, and hadn't even had time to be 'blessed', but it was burned to ashes by that idiot Rashid.

Even if it is the Dark Mechanicum, it is the Adeptus Mechanicus!

At this moment, this unknown Dark Tech-Priest wished he could drag Rashid's soul out of the Warp and stuff it into a Servo-skull!

But clearly, he didn't have that much ability and could only give up.

The mechanical prosthetic limb behind him directly hit Rashid's corpse with a melta, completely turning it to ashes, barely venting the dissatisfaction in his heart.

The Dark Tech-Priest scanned the surroundings with a spectrum, only to find that besides Rashid, there seemed to be no other life.

At the bottom of the forge factory, there was only one skeleton belonging to Rashid; it looked like the one who broke into the forge factory and released that kind of metal beetle should be the person just now.

Beep... beep...

Suddenly, a modified mechanical skull floated down from the Heldrake next to it, and the communication array inside sent a voice communication request.

"How is the situation?"

A slightly low, hoarse, somewhat aged voice came from the communication instrument.

"The forge factory was all destroyed."

The Dark Mechanicum Tech-Priest's tone was very calm, seemingly not caring that a mere factory was destroyed: "The pawn you carefully cultivated is a piece of trash, didn't play any role at all, and also cost me a precious Daemon Engine; what should we do next?"

"It doesn't matter..."

That hoarse, aged voice said slowly: "If it's ruined, then find another one; the plan cannot stop; I have planned for so many years, just for this moment!"

"I have no interest in listening to your plan."

The Dark Tech-Priest interrupted the other party and said coldly: "Because of the stupidity of your pawn, I lost a Daemon Engine; now... how are you going to compensate for my loss?"

"Believe me, the technology of that ancient ruin is enough to compensate for your loss." The aged voice said unhurriedly, slowly: "Not only can it compensate for your loss, but it can even allow you to study and be completely ahead of other old guys."

"I believe you, but..."

The Dark Tech-Priest paused for half a second, his words not without threat: "If you dare to deceive me, I will let you know what the end will be!"

"I am a smart person, my lord."

The aged voice said slowly: "The common point of smart people is that they never offend people who shouldn't be offended, and you... the great Dark Mechanicum Archmagos, Lord Rosales, is exactly the person I am least willing to offend."

"It's good that you understand..."

Archmagos Rosales's contemplation system flashed with weird red light and sneered: "Don't forget the content of our agreement."

"Of course, Lord Rosales."

The aged voice came from the Servo-skull: "The moment the Hive City is completely conquered by the cult, I will naturally tell you the location of that ancient ruin, and hand over all the data, documents, and materials to you!"

"You shouldn't have forgotten the content of our agreement, right?" The aged voice said slowly: "The moment the Hive City is conquered by the cult, I will naturally tell you the location of that ancient ruin."

"Very good, but you need to keep in mind..."

Rosales said meaningfully: "Regardless of whether your plan is ultimately successful, our agreement is limited to... me manufacturing a Daemon Engine for you until the Hive City is conquered. As for what happens later, I have no interest in participating, and I will not provide any help."

An aged, hoarse, but full of confidence, pleasant laughter came from the communication array instrument: "Of course, Lord Archmagos Rosales, this is the content of our... agreement."
