Traveling through time, I'm making pancakes in Warhammer

Chapter 271 Stone

The content that was selected by the Mechanical Sage and could be shown to Howard was the life experience of the mechanical monk who died in the Alien Sanctuary.

The Mechanical Sage projected this part onto a blank wall. The projection quality was very poor, with snowflakes flashing across the entire screen from time to time, making it feel like watching a horror-style pseudo-documentary.

The screen was pitch black, the camera was shaking violently, and the sound playback system was producing noises caused by severe electromagnetic interference. Apart from these noises, there were only the chaotic and heavy footsteps and the rustling sound of metal ammunition belts rubbing and colliding.

The Mechanic Brother who filmed this video was advancing surrounded by a group of Astra Militarum soldiers. He was much taller than the Astra Militarum soldiers surrounding him, so from the perspective of this Mechanic Brother, the most eye-catching thing in this video was the round helmets worn on the heads of the Astra Militarum soldiers.

The Astra Militarum Legion advanced silently and efficiently along the established route. They seemed to be familiar with the structure of this place. Whenever they encountered a fork in the road, the mechanical monks were always able to make the right choice quickly.

But after advancing for a while, the team stopped. A messenger from the vanguard pushed aside the other Astra Militarum soldiers and walked up to the Mechanicus to report the situation:

"There's a landslide ahead."

So the mechanical monk walked to the front of the team, only to see that the road ahead was completely blocked by collapsed boulders.

However, the mechanical monk seemed to have foreseen that such a situation would occur. He scanned the collapsed area, and soon the overall composition of the collapsed area appeared on the screen. In addition, several places were marked with red dots on this scanned composition.

The mechanical monk approached the collapsed area, and a device on his shoulder that was not recorded in the video shot out a green laser, and soon small holes were drilled by the aurora at the locations of those punctuation marks.

Then the mechanical monk retreated, and several engineers came forward and placed explosives into the hole dug by the mechanical monk.

With a very small muffled sound, the collapsed area trembled, and sand and soil fell from the cracks, and then the engineers began to dig the collapse. With the help of the engineer shovel, chisel and drill bit, these engineers soon cleared a passage for people to pass through.

After passing through the excavated tunnel, the mechanical monk did not immediately follow the Astra Militarum troops. Instead, he seemed to have discovered something and raised the angle of the camera to an elevation angle that had never appeared before.

Then a corner of the picture was framed and zoomed in. After repeated adjustments to the focus and brightness, the things in the enlarged area finally appeared clearly in the video.

Howard let out a long breath.

Because what appeared in the picture was the pupil-shaped mark he saw in the alien sanctuary.

The mechanical monk in the picture did not focus on the pattern for too long. After clearly recording the appearance of the pattern, he withdrew his gaze and continued moving forward.

He later saw and recorded other carvings that appeared, but otherwise encountered nothing noteworthy.

It was not until they reached a fork in the road that the mechanical monk finally ordered the Astra Militarum to stop.

At this time, the video screen was still dark and blurry, but the mechanical monk's detection system discovered an abnormality at this time. One green box after another marked the position and distance of unknown objects hidden in the darkness, and issued an early warning.

The Mechanic Brother didn't say anything, but made a gesture, and the Astra Militarum's ranks changed. The engineering and reconnaissance troops that had been marching in the front retreated to the center of the team, while the Astra Militarum soldiers who had been surrounding the Mechanic Brother from the beginning raised their shields and pushed forward to the front of the team.

Then the mechanical monk made another gesture, and all the Astra Militarum soldiers quickly took off the weapons on their backs and opened the safety.

Then the mechanical monk gave the order with gestures to continue moving forward, but this time the Astra Militarum Legion's advance speed was much slower than before, and the team was also more disciplined.

After maintaining a tight formation and advancing for a distance, the chip recorded a loud and angry voice, which said:

"leave!"

This sound, which sounded like the angry roar of a god, did indeed cause a small commotion among the interstellar army, but they were, after all, elite soldiers carefully selected from thousands, so the commotion subsided on its own without the intervention of the mechanical monks, and their forward speed was not affected by it.

As we walked further, the temperature dropped rapidly, and white frost began to cover the walls of the cave. During this time, the voice kept warning us:

"leave!"

"Stop!"

"die!"

……

But these words could not stop the Astra Militarum's advance, and finally the warnings disappeared, replaced by a long sigh.

Then, scarlet flames bloomed in the darkness, and stone aliens with spikes on their bodies walked out of the darkness. Some of them held spears, some held staffs, and some aimed the unknown organs growing on their bodies at the intruding humans.

They offer a final warning:

"Leave here! Otherwise, only destruction awaits you!"

The mechanical monk did not negotiate with these aliens. He raised his right hand and shot the alien standing in front of him to pieces.

What followed was a one-sided massacre.

The humans were clearly well prepared for any attacks from the aliens. The shield-bearing Astra Militarum troops at the forefront activated the shield's field generators, and the psychic light-bending barrier formed an impenetrable iron wall. Any psychic and long-range attacks from the aliens could only create small ripples on it.

Under the cover of the shield, human soldiers can fire at these aliens without hesitation. Although the rifles and laser guns they are equipped with cannot kill them with one shot, their bodies will quickly shatter and disintegrate under the saturated firepower bombardment.

The firefight lasted less than a minute, and there were only single-digit casualties on the human side. This was because the aliens used physical attacks with their weapons. After realizing this, the aliens chose to retreat, leaving behind a pile of limbs and rubble, as well as some injured and unable to move fellow humans.

Those aliens that did not evacuate were controlled by the Astra Militarum, and the Astra Militarum did not continue to pursue those aliens that escaped.

The mechanical monk walked up to these aliens. Their bodies had suffered varying degrees of damage, but they were obviously still alive, and the light on their bodies was flickering weakly.

Then the camera shifted downward, showing the Mechanical Sage's left hand... and what he was holding in his left hand.

From the outside, it looks like a huge water gun, and the water storage tank has been replaced with a transparent quartz tank.

The mechanical monk raised the muzzle of his gun to the alien and pressed the switch.

The wheel-shaped mechanical device in the quartz jar started running, and the electric current activated this strange weapon, but the gun did not fire bullets. Instead, it generated some kind of attraction. The alien under the muzzle, which had originally given up resistance, began to struggle again, and seemed to be in great pain.

The light at the ends of the alien's limbs began to fade. If these glowing liquids were the alien's blood, then all the blood in the alien's body was now gathering towards the part closest to the muzzle of the gun.

Finally, with a cracking sound, a bright spot of light broke out from the alien body, and was finally captured by the mechanical monk's gun and bound in a quartz device.

The alien, having lost its light, completely turned into a pile of stones.
