Due to the extremely unstable physical forms of the enslaved, their corpses can easily decompose and dissipate in a short period of time.

Therefore, scientists decided to use the solidification technology derived from the Paradox Engine to directly encapsulate these corpses in a static force field to ensure that they would not lose any key information.

These sealed bodies were loaded into special transport capsules and sent back to the advanced laboratory on Helka Prime for further research.

Scientists hope to find the ultimate solution to crack various types of mind control technologies from the structure of these creatures, and perhaps even apply their abilities back to the Federation's psionic forces to enhance their power.

At the same time, all intelligent creatures that had been controlled by the enslavers were also cured by the Federation.

Originally, scientists believed that the mental state of these creatures would be difficult to reverse quickly, and they might never be able to "cure" themselves from the control of their enslavers in their lifetime.

But they have ways to force their victims to be normal, and the thought stamping technology can also be used on individuals tortured by these enslavers.

Through targeted consciousness transformation technology, scientists have implanted a stamped instruction to "restore original cognition" into the brains of these affected people.

This method freed their minds from the residual influence of their enslavers and restored their "original" consciousness.

Although they are still essentially controlled by the mind, they at least appear normal and will one day be completely healed by the Federation's tranquility, power and spiritual power.

This was a very valuable experience, and it provided the Federation with quite important experience in completely eliminating the invasion of slaveholders within its own territory.

Those abominable monsters later launched several other invasions, but were killed by the experienced security attack forces.

After realizing the severity of the situation, they quickly fled back to the depths of the subspace and never appeared again in the Federation territory. Such incidents were completely eradicated from the Federation territory.

Chapter 102: Security Attack Force War Chronicles of Space Skaven.

"So you have something to tell us?"

The Space Dragon Commander of the Security Attack Force looked at the foul-looking creature with a strange expression. It was a huddled, short creature wrapped in rags, its face hidden by a hood, and it had a rat-like tail.

It is securely contained in a separate room equipped with a reality anchor and an inactive stasis stand, all equipment within the room being constructed of exceptionally strong and durable materials.

"Yes, yes, the Ancient One, Sla-Haii, we, the Hrud, the Darkseed, have returned to find you."

Its Low Gothic was poorly written and had odd quirks, but it did get its point across.

The space dragon frowned slightly.

He had never heard of the title "The Ancient One". At least in the history of the Federation and the Dragon Clan, no other tribe had ever called him that.

However, the creature's tone and attitude showed its absolute devotion to the title.

"who are you?"

"We are Hrud."

Its sound was like a whisper in the wind, with a strange tone.

"A wandering tribe, a people forgotten by time, we have been waiting, waiting for the return of the Ancient One, waiting for you to guide us."

Hrud?

This mysterious race was indeed recorded in the Federation's database, but it was only through this visitor's mouth that we truly learned about it.

They are creatures wandering in the shadows of the Milky Way, also known as "space ratmen", a special intelligent species with dirty living habits, parasitic characteristics and strange technology.

The Hrud possess some kind of entropy manipulation technology. Their existence accelerates the decay of matter and can even manipulate time, or put themselves in some unstable phase to hide their form.

Most of these creatures gather in migratory tribes, wandering the universe in an aimless manner, parasitizing the dark corners of other civilizations.

Like most of the high-tech barbarians in this universe, they believe that they were created by gods whose name is "The Most Ancient".

And now...

The Hrud representative raised his head, his hood falling back, revealing wrinkled and grimy skin, and a pair of eyes that shone with faith.

"You, the Ancient One, have returned, and the final battle is about to begin."

"What final battle?"

"Mirror Demon."

Hrud whispered, "Monsters from the Reflection World, they are trying to destroy everything. And we, Hrud, are the people of the Ancient Ones. The Ancient Ones fought against the Mirror Demons, but they failed, and then they left."

"Before they left, they made us what we are now, telling us to wait until they return. Then we will win the Second War together, and the Hrud will own the entire universe because they are willing to continue fighting for Sla-Haii."

The members of the security strike force looked at each other in bewilderment. It was obvious that they had never heard of this so-called "Mirror Demon" and did not think that they were the oldest ones, but the Hrud people firmly believed in this prophecy.

They believed that the return of the Ancient One marked the beginning of the turning of the Wheel of Fate, and that a fateful confrontation was imminent. This also meant that they had to act.

"However, our people have forgotten the ancient agreement."

Hrud's voice was low and worried.

"They are wandering aimlessly in the universe, having lost their way. You, the Ancient Ones, must lead them back to the right path and restore their faith."

The Hrud representative paused, then suddenly pointed to the Federation troops in the distance: "And Him."

Everyone's eyes followed his finger. Hrud was pointing at a ritual focal point of the machine god Tal, that is, its statue, which had two horns on its head and was accompanied by the wilderness and animals.

The Hrud envoy recognized it and whispered excitedly: "The Antlered God, the God of Hunting, you resurrected Him, I can see Him..."

It seems he is a psychic.

This statement surprised the people of the Federation. They had originally thought the Hrud were superstitious and backward space nomads, but their words revealed a profound sense of history.

The Hrud firmly believe that Mecha-God Tal is part of their ancient faith, and now, his return with the Most Ancient One means that the apocalyptic battle is about to begin.

……

The Hrud envoy then brought an important message: "Whether you have forgotten us or not, we will follow you, so we must all tell you that our Peh-Ha, the Great Migration of the Hrud is about to begin."

The dragon representative immediately opened the important data recording application: "Hrud Migration?"

"Yes, yes, our tribe will travel through this star region."

The Hrud representative whispered, "And the worlds along the way will be destroyed."

The gathering of Hrud people generates an entropy field, a physical anomaly of cosmic proportions. Any area through which the Hrud migrate on a large scale will be eroded by their energy field, the flow of time will be distorted, matter will rapidly age, disintegrate, and eventually turn to dust.

If not stopped, all planets within the Federation that the migration passes through will be affected, and cities, ships, and even the state of stars may be permanently changed.

Upon hearing this news, the Space Dragon Commander of the Security Strike Force's eyes suddenly turned cold. They had no time to debate with the Hrud about the truth of these prophecies. The only important thing was to stop the Hrud's migration and prevent destruction.

"What do you want us to do?"

The Hrud representative bowed his head and saluted respectfully. "Oldest One, we hope you can lead your army to stand before our lost people. They have forgotten their faith and their ancient myths. You must defeat them and bring them back to the right path."

The Federation did not hesitate. Security strike forces immediately launched their battle plan, dispatching security strike forces to the Hrud migration routes. Powerful armies were stationed at locations likely to be passed, ready to confront this devastating tide.

Huge warships are arrayed in the starry sky, while on the surface, federal infantry have assembled, ready to disrespect the laws of nature and artificially intervene in this "great migration."

……

Across the vast starry sky, a silent standoff unfolded. The Federation's security attack force warships lined up on both sides of the interstellar channel, casting a forbidding light.

And ahead was the migrating group of Hrud, like a deep dark shadow, slowly advancing forward.

The Hrud's presence is ambiguous on all levels of perception. Their advanced camouflage technology makes their ships appear amorphous, distorted, and illusory, as if spliced from different slices of time.

Even more disturbing is the irresistible sense of oppression that permeates the air around them—entropy is quietly spreading, and any object that approaches them will quickly age and disintegrate, as if stripped of its luster by time.

The federal security strike force has issued them an ultimatum, demanding that they immediately stop this devastating migration and surrender to federal order.

Some Hrud tribes that support the Federation have tried to communicate with their own people, persuading them to accept reality, acknowledge the return of the Ancient Ones, and obey the Ancient Ones' control over the order of the universe.

Some Hrud complied with the call to cease their actions, but the majority refused.

Their instincts and traditions drive them to continue moving forward, continue trampling on this star field, and continue wandering along the trajectory of a destiny that they cannot understand.

So, the war began.

……

The Federation's warships opened fire first, and the super-heavy railguns drew fiery trajectories in space, and a dense network of fragmentation beams covered the entire star field.

The Hrud ships trembled slightly in the void, their forms distorted and reorganized under the artillery fire, like some undefined fluid, both real and illusory, making it impossible for the Federation to aim accurately.

However, the Federation's fleet had an absolute numerical advantage, and even if they only provided artillery coverage without aiming, it could still have a significant impact, so it seemed that their defeat was inevitable.

Then came Entropy Technology's counterattack.

An invisible wave spread, sweeping across the battlefield. The metal surfaces of the Federation warships corroded rapidly, their structures transforming from pristine to rusty in mere seconds. The core supporting the force fields began to decay, and the entire fleet seemed to have fallen into a millennium of weathering.

Many warships disintegrated directly before their high-energy reactors were extinguished, and some hypersonic engines collapsed in silent explosions, turning into lifeless space tombstones.

The infantry on the battlefield also suffered terrible blows.

Even genetically enhanced Federation soldiers with unlimited lifespans rapidly age under the erosion of Hrud's entropic energy.

Their skin is cracked, their muscles are loose, their once strong bones have become brittle, and many of them are too old to stand before they even pull the trigger.

The Hrud's tricks are always effective.

……

But the Federation was not unprepared.

They immediately activated their response plan – an overdose of youth serum.

This technology was originally used to extend the lifespan of Federation citizens, but now it has become a key weapon in the fight against the Hrud's entropic energy.

Large amounts of serum were injected directly into the soldiers' bloodstream, multiplying their lifespans and allowing them to remain active despite the erosion of entropy.

The soldiers' skin instantly became smooth again, their aged muscles regained their strength, and even their combat reactions became faster.

They relied on "stacking stats" to go against the erosion of time and engaged in a real close-range battle with Hrud.

At the same time, the Federation's most advanced technology: a replica of the Paradox Engine was also put into the battlefield.

This behemoth was slowly pushed into space, and at its core was a super space-time stasis device.

The Paradox Engine can create a local time-stasis field, completely freezing time in an area and neutralizing the effects of entropy increase.

Hrud's entropic shockwave was blocked by the Paradox Engine, the matter on the battlefield stopped aging, and the fleet's defense system was able to resume operation.

The entire battle situation began to reverse.

……

Finally, the federal soldiers, strengthened by the youth serum, rushed into the Hrud lines, their tactical rifles spewing out scorching plasma flames, and their genetically enhanced steel bodies tore apart the Hrud's fragile bodies.

The Hrud began to panic, their survival instinct driving them to retreat.

The roar of battleships echoed throughout the galaxy as the Paradox Engine trapped Hrud's ships in a temporal stasis field, preventing them from continuing their entropy manipulation.

The Federation's warships concentrated their firepower, destroying these mysterious fleets one after another.

The Hrud Migration began to collapse.

Seeing that the situation was not good, some Hrud people chose to surrender. They finally realized that the war could no longer continue and their migration was destined to be stopped.

The other part tried to escape, turning into interstellar shadows and diving back into the dark corners of the universe.

But regardless, the war is over.

……

After the war, the Federation's security strike force began cleanup operations. The captured Hrud were taken to a special research base, where their entropy was isolated and Federation scientists studied their physiology to identify potential technological breakthroughs.

Those who actively cooperated were temporarily placed in unmanned orbital habitats, and then contacted the Science and Engineering Department for further contact. The Federation is preparing suitable living quarters for them and trying its best to eliminate their corrupting influence on objects.

The wreckage on the battlefield, the ships destroyed by Hrud's entropy field, and the materials eroded by time were also collected as important materials for the research of "entropy recursion" technology.

The Federation's Science Council has received detailed combat reports and has begun analyzing the Hrud's capabilities and attempting to incorporate them into the Federation's technological system.

Perhaps, in the future, the Federation will be able to control the law of entropy, even reverse the passage of time, and gain true power over time and space.

……

A surprising piece of news we learned during the subsequent diplomatic process was that a small number of Hruds who were defeated by the Federation later fled to the territory of the Tau Empire.

Then the Tau discovered a special metal that could resist the entropy field, and used a group of drone bees made of this metal to defeat the Hrud cluster.

This……

I can only say that the Tau people are truly "blessed by nature".
