Plunder the Heavens from Warhammer

Chapter 86: Dark Mechanicus Archsage

The underworld scarabs of the Tieshi Town Foundry were completely wiped out by the Hell Dragons. The blazing psychic flames dyed almost half of the sky a creepy blood red!
The scorching heat makes the wasteland steam with heat waves!
From a distance, the flames burning in the foundry looked like a huge furnace!

Although the Scarab is a product of the Necrons, the former overlords of the galaxy.

But unfortunately, without the main control program, relying only on the remaining underlying programs, the Underworld Scarab, which was originally used to repair living metal, is no match for a Hell Dragon, let alone a Chaos Demon Engine that is in a fully awake state and controlled by someone?

Roar--

After destroying all the remaining Hell Scarabs, the Hell Dragon landed on the ruins of the foundry.

A figure in a pure black robe came down from the Hell Dragon and stared at the completely destroyed foundry with charred debris all over the ground, and fell into silence for a long time.

But, what is surprising is that his body is full of cables and circuits, and behind his black robe there are several prosthetic limbs that are completely made of mechanical things.

Its unique transformation style is obviously a characteristic that only the technical priests of the Mechanicus can possess!
But that piece of clothing, which was different from the rust-red robes of the Mechanicus, was printed with a strange emblem consisting of a skull and a human face surrounded by eight spikes.

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

Because, that is obviously the emblem of the 'Dark Mechanicus', and its origin can be traced back to the distant period of the Horus Heresy!

"Waste is waste."

The Dark Mechanical Priest's tone was filled with dissatisfaction: "You helped so much, but ended up turning things into what they are now. You're such a waste!"

Almost all of the metal, energy, and Chaos Servants in the entire foundry were eaten up by the Scarabs, just like a swarm of locusts, leaving nothing behind.

In the burning flames of the "Hell Dragon", the few remaining machines were all melted.

At this point, the entire foundry was completely destroyed and basically had no use value anymore.

The Dark Mechanical Priest boarded the Hell Dragon and landed in the lower level area of ​​the foundry.

Following the remaining clues, he found the incomplete skeleton. Looking at the obvious marks of severed cervical vertebrae thrown aside, he sneered, "He is indeed a waste!"

Although he had guessed it long ago, he still couldn't help sneering after confirming that the genes of the skeleton belonged to Rashid Hadley.

Although the underworld scarab can theoretically decompose anything, it disdains the skeletons of living things, a material with very little resources and energy.

Thanks to the Scarab of the Underworld, Rashid was able to keep his body intact.

"I wasted so many of my resources, and in the end I just died like this?"

The Dark Mechanical Priest crushed the skull with his feet, his words filled with dissatisfaction: "You caused me to lose a demon engine. You are such a waste, garbage, and scum!"

Every demon engine is extremely precious!
Throwing it into any battle would have the power to change the entire outcome of the battle, but this Brass Scorpion Demon Engine had just been cast and had not even had time to be "blessed" before it was burned to ashes by that idiot Rashid.

Even if it is the Dark Mechanicus, it is still the Mechanicus!
At this moment, this unknown dark technology god wanted to drag Rashid's soul out of the subspace and stuff it into the servo skull!
But it was obvious that he didn't have that much ability, so he had to give up.

The mechanical prosthetic limb behind him shone directly on Rashid's body, melting it with heat and completely crushing it to ashes, barely venting his dissatisfaction in his heart.

The Dark Technology Assistant used a spectrum to scan the surroundings and found that there seemed to be no other life except Rashid. On the bottom floor of the foundry, there was only a skeleton belonging to Rashid. It seemed that the person who broke into the foundry and released the metal beetle should be the one just now.

Didi... Didi...

Suddenly, a modified mechanical skull floated down from the nearby Hell Dragon, and the communication array inside it sent out a voice communication request.

"How's the situation?"

A low, hoarse, and somewhat old voice came from the communication device.

"The foundry was completely destroyed."

The Dark Mechanical Priest spoke calmly, seemingly not caring about the destruction of a mere factory: "The chess piece you carefully cultivated is a waste. It has no effect at all, and it has caused me to lose a precious demon engine. What should I do next?"

"It doesn't matter……"

The hoarse, old voice said slowly, "If it's useless, then find another one. The plan cannot be stopped. I have been planning for so many years just for this moment!"

"I'm not interested in hearing your plans."

The Dark Technology God Assistant interrupted him and said coldly: "Because of the stupidity of your chess pieces, I lost a demon engine. Now...how are you going to compensate me for my loss?"

"Believe me, the technology in that ancient ruins is enough to make up for your losses." The old voice said slowly and calmly, "Not only can it make up for your losses, it can even allow you to research and completely surpass other old guys."

"I believe you, but..."

The Dark Technology Assistant paused for half a second, and said threateningly: "If you dare to deceive me, I will let you know what the consequences will be!"

"I am a wise man, sir."

The old voice said slowly: "What smart people have in common is that they never offend people they shouldn't offend. And you... the great Archsage of the Dark Mechanicus, Mr. Rosales, are exactly the person I least want to offend."

"I'm glad you understand..."

The Great Sage Rosales' meditation system flashed a strange red light, and he sneered: "Don't forget the content of our agreement."

"Of course, Mr. Rosales."

An old voice came from the servo skull: "The moment the hive is completely occupied by the cult, I will naturally tell you the location of the ancient ruins, and give you all the data, documents, and information!"

"You should not have forgotten the content of our agreement, right?" The old voice said slowly: "When the nest is conquered by the cult, I will naturally tell you the location of the ancient ruins."

"Very good, but you need to remember..."

Rosales said meaningfully: "No matter whether your plan succeeds in the end, our agreement is limited to... I will build the demon engine for you until the hive is captured. As for what happens next, I have no interest in participating, and I will not provide any help."

An old, hoarse, but confident and happy laugh came from the communication array device: "Of course, Master Rosales, this is the content of our... agreement."
