They must have their limbs, eyes, and most of their internal organs physically removed, and be confined by a psychic suppression device and rely on the same life support system to survive - any attempt to destroy or escape from this device will cause the entire system to shut down.

Moreover, they need to be kept under anesthesia for a long time when they are not needed... Although before that, the brainwashing equipment will make them think that they were born with this life-support device and feel grateful to the humans who are willing to provide them with energy, it is better to be more cautious.

Of course, these conditions will definitely not be put forward at the beginning. After the aliens lay down their arms and surrender, the elite vanguard and personal troops will escort these aliens into separate rooms guarded by heavy military servitors, and then dismantle them there.

As the order was passed down, the conspiracy warriors who tried to bet on the human nobles' right to speak and the moral bottom line of their decision-makers soon discovered their mistakes.

However, facing the naked servitors and elite infantrymen who were eyeing them covetously, any attempt at resistance was obviously futile.

While the dismantling was proceeding in an orderly manner, Zhang Ge was also very busy.

Of course, he did not hide his previous encounter with the Eldar girl from everyone. After hearing Zhang Ge's description, Atwood's reaction was:

Don't tell too many people about this for now.

On this planet, the Black Spirits are fine, but the White Spirits are currently confirmed to be non-hostile, and it is not easy to provoke them.

To the Mechanicus on this ship, the Titan was of paramount importance, but to Atwood, it was merely a precious resource that could be used to advantage in the battle.

Although the captain was vague in his words, one could guess from the information revealed that his cooperation with the Eldar was for a plan that could influence the entire course of the war.

For this reason, unless the enemy actively attacks, it is necessary to exercise restraint towards these equally filthy aliens, even if it may put the ship at risk.

Zhang Ge certainly had no objection to this decision, and the others basically followed his advice, but the price was that he had to start searching for the trace of the elf girl inch by inch with Amelia and even Benson and others.

Busy, it’s better to be busy.

It would be best to provoke that elf and let her come and kill me with a knife.

But if you think about it carefully, her prophecy never came true. Those Dark Eldars rushed directly into the troop transport and never touched the command ship at all. Maybe after realizing this, she had already run away or found a place to hide.

While daydreaming, Zhang Ge led everyone to check suspicious places one by one.

Until he gradually realized one thing: Why hasn't the alarm on the ship stopped?

This doubt was passed on to the captain, and Zhang Ge soon received a reply.

It’s not that they don’t want to stop the alarm, but they can’t do it because the ship’s internal control system seems to have malfunctioned and the alarm cannot be turned off.

There is always a source of danger moving at high speed in and around the engine compartment, even faster than the Space Marines.

Moreover, even if there really was something running that fast, the noise would certainly be huge. However, the deployment personnel searched for several rounds but found nothing. They could only conclude that there was a system failure.

The more Zhang Ge listened, the more excited he became. Finally, he couldn't wait to ask:

"Has this matter been reported to Atwood?"

The captain was stunned and replied:

"If the cause is still not found after troubleshooting, we will report it. There are roughly two minutes left."

From his tone, one could tell that the captain, who belonged to the Mechanicus, trusted his own logical judgment more, and even looked down on the blind faith of the Space Marines.

"Tell him now."

After saying this, Zhang Ge cut off the communication.

More than two minutes is very fast and generally won’t delay things, but that is under normal circumstances.

As for the current situation, it was probably too late when Zhang Ge said this.

The whereabouts of the Eldar girl have been solved, and her purpose has become clear.

She had never given up on the prophecy from the very beginning. Agreeing to cooperate simply meant no longer restricting Zhang Ge and allowing him to fight against the Dark Eldar.

As for herself, of course she will continue to accomplish her goal of "stopping your progress."

Otherwise, can we still follow the monkey's advice and act together with it?

ps: The update is in the early morning, a little late, because I wasted some time going to the cat cafe, and also I’m asking for votes as usual.

Chapter 127: Ship Sinking

In the engine area, a large number of Astra Militarum troops shuttled back and forth, and the Skitarii were carrying various instruments to carefully search every inch of the area.

It's no wonder that the captain is so confident that no one can escape here. The distance between these rows of personnel is less than one meter. With so many elite troops and instruments deployed, even if the target is an invisible fly, it should be discovered.

But unfortunately, even searching at this density doesn't make much sense for the Eldar of this level.

She showed no features on the instruments, and did not create any breeze when she moved. She was like a shadow that was out of the real world, or just a ghost that could not be detected.

Detection with currently deployed conventional equipment would be like trying to scan for a stealth fighter with WWII radar, and psychic detection is even more of an amateurish move.

Although the Eldar are one of countless hated alien races, their advanced technology in stealth, dexterity, and psionic powers is undeniable.

If the relics from ancient times were not used, the current empire might only have a group of cutting-edge devices that could rival it.

Obviously, such equipment would not appear in the small Akaolan hive.

Of course, some people might think: since the most advanced equipment currently available cannot work on it, what difference does it make who is sent to get these devices? Isn't it meaningless to notify people like Atwood?

It is true according to common sense, but unfortunately this world does not follow common sense.

Perhaps the equipment cannot detect it, but the intuition of those strong people at a certain moment, the palpitation of a certain second, or even the tremor of a certain instant, these things that sound mysterious can indeed capture some information that was originally not captured by chance, or perform beyond common sense.

Take Space Marines as an example. Even if they are wearing the same type of power armor with exactly the same output limits, the performance of a chapter champion and an ordinary warrior wearing them will be completely different.

The human body is amazing, right?

However, it is not difficult to understand why the people under the Mechanicus would subconsciously deny this situation. If this cognitive flaw is not prevented from the beginning, it cannot be compensated by simple careful planning later.

It can only be said that the Eldar probably guessed the captain's affiliation based on the interior and features of the ship, and expected that he would have omissions in his cognition. After taking this into consideration, they dared to blatantly seize the time difference.

Very smart. If they could be half as smart as them in important matters, they would not have fallen to this point today.

In the corridor.

When Zhang Ge was halfway to the engine area, he heard a loud explosion coming from the direction he was heading.

After several consecutive explosions, the shockwaves spread throughout the entire ship, causing a noisy buzzing sound, and even the lights flickered several times.

First there was deathly silence.

The people around didn't know the reason for this abnormality, so they subconsciously kept silent according to the regulations to avoid interfering with information such as notifications.

Then the radio started.

The captain's voice, filled with confusion and self-blame, emanated from various loudspeakers:

"All engines were damaged simultaneously. The source of the attack is unknown. It has been confirmed that the damage cannot be repaired immediately... After investigation, all engines have stopped functioning. We are falling."

The radio did not turn off after this sentence. A burst of electronically synthesized curses came from far away, followed by a gunshot and the sound of something exploding.

A low, suppressed voice replaced the captain's voice:

"Order 1: All areas are to be isolated. Any attempt to violate this blockade will be treated as hostile. Order 2: Five seconds after the end of this message, all gravity generators will be used for anti-gravity gliding. Everyone, prepare for weightlessness. May the God of All Odds bless us all."

After these words, all the heavy metal doors closed at the same time, and the sound of locks being locked could be heard from everywhere.

Zhang Ge also saw the nearby Crusaders moving quickly and directly and rudely blocking any possible openings, including ventilation ducts, and pushing everyone, regardless of their identity, at least five meters away from these entrances and exits.

Considering that this is just an ordinary corridor, one can imagine how strictly guarded important areas such as the gravity generator are.

In Zhang Ge's mind, the five-second countdown passed quickly.

A sharp feeling of weightlessness came over me, and even the soles of my feet found it difficult to remain attached to the ground. The word "falling" instantly became real.

However, he had already reached the wall and grabbed the emergency handrail, so he was just floating and was not thrown out directly.

Looking at Amelia beside him, she still looked indifferent. Zhang Ge, who was in a good mood at the moment, couldn't help but joked:

"Amelia, will the Emperor protect us in this situation?"

Unexpectedly, she turned around and answered seriously:

"Will do."

In the outside world.

After a violent explosion, the nozzle of the command ship quickly dimmed.

All the ships were completely confused by this sudden abnormality. For a moment, the captains of each ship did not know how to respond. Only the ships belonging to the Mechanicus adjusted their direction according to the preset program as soon as the command ship began to fall, and flew obliquely towards the ground together.

Soon, the first round of rescue attempts occurred. Under the remote control of the high-level priest, several ships of the same size approached the command ship and tried to prop it up with their hulls.

But these transport ships were already packed with all the cargo they could carry before they set off, so how could they have room to move a large ship of the same level? Doing so would only increase the number of ships destroyed from one to several.

However, at this moment, when the priests were seriously considering the feasibility of forcibly throwing all the PDF, Astra Militarum and their supplies overboard, an incredible phenomenon occurred.

The command ship was gliding.

Perhaps this is a bit too abstract, but it is the best description that people who witnessed its flight trajectory could give in a short period of time.

As we all know, even if a piece of iron has a certain initial speed, it will fall almost straight down after flying a short distance.

And an armed carrier...considering the density of its material, it is likely to be much heavier than a solid lump of iron.

Therefore, although there is an initial speed provided before the engine stops working, it is not very fast. According to the mass of the ship, it will accelerate directly to the ground after maintaining the flying posture for a short distance.

Even gravity sliding only slightly slowed down the occurrence of this event.

But now, after slightly accelerating and falling for a short distance, the armed carrier actually began to glide diagonally downward at a constant speed in a basically straight flight posture.

If it continues at this speed, let alone a crash, it would be considered a soft landing by landing standards.

After the initial shock and relief, communication requests rained down on the high-ranking priest on the command ship.

The meanings expressed by both parties can be basically summarized as follows:

Other priests: For the sake of our years of collaboration, please tell me what device you secretly installed on the ship. Don't make me beg you.

High Priest: For the sake of our years of collaboration, who secretly installed a device with this effect on my ship? Don't force me to beg you.

ps: There are so few votes recently... I've decided to offer a reward and start it!

ps2: There are more than 500 collections now, so if the monthly votes in a single day exceed 5000 and the recommendation votes exceed , I will add more chapters. The standard may be a bit high, but after all, there are several times more people now than before, and I have also started to get busy offline, so please understand TvT.

Chapter 128: Choice

When the mechanical priests calmed down, they thought about it carefully and realized that the warship's gliding was not as outrageous as they had imagined. After all, the fundamental reason for the pull of gravity lies in mass.

Then, thinking in reverse, wouldn't it be possible to just reverse the way the Machine Soul removed the ammunition and "stuff" the local area into the subspace, making it unaffected by gravity and adjusting the center of gravity? This could actually be achieved with the Machine Soul's continuous great joy or with some powerful psykers.

Of course, as to why the ship is like this, or who is doing this, the priests are still in the dark. The most credible speculation at present is that some ancient relic is stuffed inside the Titan, and then it is triggered or used.

As time passed, the chaos caused by this unreasonable situation gradually faded away amid discussions, and relevant notices were issued after discussion.

The Mechanical Priests chose to "strategically" conceal the reason for the ship's gliding temporarily - although in fact they themselves did not know why.

In the notice, they simply informed the crew and other ships of the following: the command ship's hull had been temporarily stabilized by a relic, and while the engine could not be restarted, it was expected to land normally. At the same time, gravity supply had been restored.

At the same time, the Crusaders on other ships were transported onto the command ship in batches. It was obvious that the priests were very angry with the destroyer.

It was at this time that disagreements arose among senior management regarding the final destination.

The forces headed by the Hive Nobles felt that with their remaining forces, if they were to remain in the wild without being replenished, it would be tantamount to a slow death. They should first take other ships and continue to advance towards the Hyperion sector, and then call for reinforcements to take away the Titan after they arrived at the destination.

The Mechanicus, on the other hand, believes that I am where the Titans are, and as for you, you can go wherever you want, just don't take the ships we build.

The first half is not a big deal, but the second half is the main point of disagreement, because it is almost equivalent to directly telling others to walk to the Hyperion section.

This magical scene actually somewhat coincides with the current situation of the empire.

Although they are all on the same crashing giant ship, the people inside are still quarreling and fighting with each other because they represent different interest groups... Even these quarrels cannot save the giant ship at all. The only decision is whether to stay at the crash site or abandon it.

Zhang Ge felt like laughing at the various obscene words and body movements that did not match their gorgeous clothes.

The man over there who was holding a gun to threaten the priest had a vanguard standing not far behind him, and you could see that his hand holding the gun was shaking a little.

This guy here, who looks nonchalant and wants to provoke the nobles with this attitude, has secretly increased the temperature in the cabin by several degrees by dissipating heat.

Zhang Ge, who was watching the joke, was so distracted that he lost control of his body. He accidentally choked on his saliva while swallowing subconsciously, and coughed a few times.

"Cough cough."

Although the volume was low, it swept over everyone like a spreading invisible ripple, causing the silence to spread outward from the source of the sound.

By the time Zhang Ge came to his senses, everyone had stopped arguing and focused their attention on him, even Atwood, who had been watching from the sidelines.

Zhang Ge has gained considerable reputation by relying on a series of battle records, and with the support of Titan and the 1st Mechanized Infantry Regiment, he has actually gained considerable say without realizing it.
