Chapter 67 Sealed Mountains
"Dessa is the Grim Reaper of our planet Agoru. You must not disturb its slumber, for doing so will surely awaken calamity and bring retribution!"
"Dessa is an immortal demon. A thousand years ago, the Holy Race sealed it deep within the Holy Mountain. You must not destroy this Holy Mountain!"
......
An elderly man wearing a mirrored mask led a group of priests, also wearing mirrored masks and dressed in earth-yellow robes, to block the entrance of Qianzi's temporary camp and protest loudly.
Li Wei stood on a high point, looking down at the noisy crowd below, his doubts deepening.
The group of people in front of us are the natives of Planet Agoru. Through communication and artifact excavation by the Thousand Sons Legion, it has been learned that they are actually vassals of the ruled humans.
This planet was originally ruled by the Eldar, but after the birth of the Slaanesh, the Eldar fell apart and disappeared.
This situation, where humans, abandoned by the aliens, become the rulers, was quite common during the Great Crusade.
What's abnormal is that this planet was once ruled by the Eldarin, who gave birth to Slaanesh. Shouldn't the demons born from this planet be Slaanesh demons?
However, in Li Wei's memory, the demons born on the planet Argolu were Tzeentch demons, or even possibly an incarnation of Tzeentch.
Is this really normal?
Or is there some special secret involved? Li Wei frowned, unable to figure it out.
After a moment, he turned his gaze to the distance.
Qianzi's engineering excavation team, consisting of hundreds of technical soldiers, was operating heavy and sturdy excavators to dig out a giant gray-brown mountain.
The moment the towering mountain came into Li Wei's view, he felt the same suffocating sensation he had when he first encountered Sister Silent on Prospero, the mother planet of a thousand children.
He suddenly felt his spiritual energy freeze, and he almost lost control and went berserk.
"The Eldar are indeed incredibly powerful; they actually created a mountain that can suppress psionic energy in every way."
In fact, the purpose of the Thousand Sons Legion's operation this time was not only to wipe out the demon under Tzeentch's command, but also because of the gray-brown mountain in front of them that could suppress psionic energy in all directions.
It's true that everyone in the group is a psychic, and she has an innate aversion to psychic suppression devices. However, having the opportunity to research the technical principles that can suppress psychic energy is actually an improvement in her combat power.
If Qianzi thoroughly studies the methods of suppressing spiritual energy in advance, he will be able to release a weak basic spiritual energy technique even when his spiritual energy is forcibly suppressed, thus changing the course of the battle, or he can train himself to be more adaptable to combat in a spiritual energy-free environment.
As for why it was necessary to excavate this mountain, it was actually to better carry out Senko's battle plan.
After deliberations at the Thousand Sons Council, Magnus's final battle plan was extremely simple and brutal.
Using the mandala formation that Li Wei had previously used to propel the Golden Age colonial warship on Dawn Star, he combined the psionic energy released by tens of thousands of psionicists in the Thousand Sons Legion, creating a powerful miracle that completely annihilated the Tzeentch Demon.
Since this mountain peak can suppress spiritual energy over a large area, it must be leveled first to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan.
The Thousand Sons Legion dismantled the mountain before them layer by layer in order to use the rocks containing psionic energy-suppressing properties to create a countermeasure device that could suppress psionic energy before completely disturbing the demons sleeping within the mountain.
Based on Li Wei's years of research, he has realized that all supernatural powers and beings in the Warhammer universe are closely related to psionic energy, including Chaos Demons.
Just as Li Wei was pondering to himself, Magnus, along with Ahriman, the company commander of the First Society, also arrived at the high point.
"Li Wei, have you figured out how to deal with those two Eldar Titans?"
Magnus's deep voice interrupted Livy's thoughts.
"Huh?" Li Wei paused for a moment after regaining his senses, then thought of the two broken, moss-covered Aedalan Titans that the Thousand Sons Legion had detected at the entrance to the Demon Cave deep in the Holy Mountain the day before.
Li Wei also went to investigate. The two Eldar Titans, which seemed to have been abandoned for a long time but still had energy fluctuations, had long been corrupted by a chaotic force.
Strangely enough, Li Wei's all-seeing eyes couldn't discern which of the four Chaos Gods' demons was responsible for this chaotic pollution.
The overall aura was closer to a chaotic and undifferentiated state. Although this aura was rare, Li Wei had seen quite a few in the demon factory of Vashtor.
This unusual situation made Li Wei even more suspicious that the sleeping demon on the planet beneath his feet was really a demon under Tzeentch's command.
After a moment, Li Wei gathered his chaotic thoughts and said in a deep voice:
"Let's wait for the Iron Warriors' replica Titans to arrive before launching an attack. Let's see if we can preserve some of the Eldar Titan cores to give to Peturabo for research, so we can create a real Titan."
"Hmm, that makes sense. Li Wei, you're quite lucky. While building the think tank for the Whisperers, you discovered some fragments of technology from the Golden Age that can actually be used to manufacture large-scale war equipment."
Magnus said with a smile, looking pleased, because he felt that the discovery of those ruins and artifacts by the Thousand Sons was indeed useful.
Li Wei discovered some valuable technical documents that could be used to manufacture large war machines. Moreover, these were blueprints, which were in some ways better than the incomplete STC templates, as the complete technical logic could be extracted from them.
Li Wei looked at Magnus's pleased smile, but secretly grumbled to himself.
Those blueprints were actually war machines he commissioned the creator Vashtor to design specifically for him, using the Titans as a template.
After all, Perturabo wasn't a Mechanicus Bishop of the Mechanicus. He could indeed build the Terminator Power Armor, but he couldn't even build the Dreadnought, let alone the Mechanicus's God Engine Titan.
Therefore, the large amount of resources from the Star Language Court and the Navigator family that were transferred to the Iron Warrior Legion could only be exchanged for a large number of Terminator armors. It would be an exaggeration to say that it was a losing deal, but it could only be considered that they barely broke even.
However, in order to improve the overall combat power of the Thousand Sons, Li Wei thought of the creator Vashtor, who was a covetous of the position of the god of "vicious arts" and had an extraordinary talent for creating war machines.
Thus, a long-lost set of data on replica Titans from the Golden Age was created.
Li Wei also used this blueprint for replica Titans to trade with Peturabo, in exchange for ten replica Titans.
In this transaction, Li Wei was definitely at a greater disadvantage. After all, a set of blueprints for replicating the Titan engine of God could easily be exchanged for a forging world if given to the Cult of Mechanics, who have an extreme thirst for mechanical knowledge.
However, in order to bring Peturabo, a powerful ally, onto the chariot of the thousand, Livy had no choice but to reluctantly give him up.
Moreover, this is also a trap. Li Wei fears that Perturabau will still fall into chaos, so he has instructed Vashtor to leave countermeasures in the blueprints and craftsmanship to deal with possible betrayal in the future.
