Chapter 1317 Social Ecological Demon Version
After Kane bid farewell to Lowansberger briefly, he left Antioch Fortress on the Boddington.
The obvious advantages of the Gothic War space battle made Lowansberg a little arrogant. After the incident of the Chaos believers risking their lives to bomb the ship, he asked Kane to use the Boddington as bait to trap the Chaos forces in space. take the chance.
Of course, Rowansberg did not act presumptuously under the name of Kane, but euphemistically stated that if he wants to see the tricks of the demon army in the universe and see if the human fleet, which uses technology as the main means of camouflage, is really not an opponent .
Considering that there are some lessons that can only be remembered by personal experience, Kane did not refuse this request.
The Boddington is accompanied by an invisible frigate. The size and appearance of this frigate are very similar to the Boddington. Coupled with the first order's unique technology of evil god cell mimicry, it pretends to be the Boddington. This is a backup tactical choice.
Kane did not stay to observe the Gothic fleet's fishing operations, but made the Boddington invisible and returned to the star system where Khulna was located.
To quickly go to Gladius, you have to rely on the star gate on Khulna's side.
The subspace storm set off by Tzeentch once made Gladius a besieged space island, and later it was able to pass through, which indeed has a lot to do with the space necromancers.
Back then when the Necrons launched a war against the Old Sages, although they acted arrogantly, there was still some reliance on it, not the ignorance and fearlessness that primitive people challenged modern people.
As the race with the highest level of technological development in the entire Warhammer 40,000 universe so far, the Necrons already had the means to deal with subspace forces before they recruited the star gods, that is, the void force field.
Subspace creatures and demons, from a certain point of view, are like sea creatures that come on waves. They can take advantage of the raging subspace storm to be more mobile and stay longer in the physical universe.
And the void force field matrix of the Necrons can calm down the subspace storm.
In Kane's eyes, this technology is not particularly high-end, but the idea is ingenious, just like the red dot aiming technology, the effect of spiritual flash is greater than the technology itself.
An important reason why the Necrons were able to come up with this stuff is that this is Warhammer 40K. If it goes to other universes, this technology cannot be reproduced.
Because of this, considering the stinky farts and extremes of the Necrons, the First Order did not look at it once, and then produced a better performance substitute, but always let the Necrons think that this is their exclusive product. Technology is one of the bargaining chips for cooperation.
The use of the star gate requires the void force field matrix to temporarily weaken the subspace storm in a certain area, just like opening a cavitation channel in the water, so that the normal operation of the star gate can reach a safe level.
It didn't take long to open the passage, and the Chaos side tried to destroy the transmission more than once.
But they have been beaten into a clear disadvantage in the field of space. There are only a few seriously ill guarded space ports left. Break into the location of the stargate and destroy it.
The frame of the star gate shone with light, and the runes shone sequentially, and the majestic energy poured into the ring-shaped star gate, causing the ice-like crystals in it to quickly melt into a liquid state.
And this liquid energy soon formed a vortex, and with the acceleration of rotation, the liquid energy flowed to the surroundings, 'full' the star gate into a donut-like chubby appearance.
At this time, the scene inside the circular star gate is already the appearance of the other end of the star gate, and the Boddington waiting to be transmitted can be clearly seen, as well as Khulna, which is a little further away.
In the past few years, Khulna's planetary transformation has not stopped, and it has shown results. The beautiful blue planet is more and more similar to the earth.
And Gladius is still the colorful 'painted face' from a few years ago.
It's just that the space is much dirtier, just like the waters that were originally clear have now been filled with a lot of floating flocs.
These fluff,
Basically the wreckage of the Great War.
Due to the frequent occurrence of wars, even if the first order's earthwork cleaning ability is very strong, it is difficult to clean it up in time, and the cleaning needs to take a lot of risks, so apart from the necessary recycling, the rest are left as space junk form exists.
As for the chaotic side, they always only know how to destroy, don't care about cleaning up, and grab what's left, and like a spoiled brat, they only eat the fattest part, then discard the rest, and choose the next target.
But this habit, in Gladius, was successfully taught by the First Order to be a man.
Back then, in order to meet the looting of the Tyranid swarm that might come, Kane fortified the walls and cleared the field, launched his operational capabilities, and controlled and sorted out all the resources of the Gladius star system.
Although the wars started one after another just at the beginning, even when Kane returned to the dark HP universe, related work was still going on vigorously.
From the perspective of ordinary people, during those years, the life of the First Order in the Gladius star system was very difficult.
It's just that the subject is just a puppet of emotion, no matter how many casualties there are, it's just a number.
A large amount of low-cost cannon fodder was exchanged for a large amount of energy and resources from the Chaos side, and bought time. From a strategic point of view, the First Order won without any suspense.
When the army of demons changed their mentality from simply killing to being bored with too many to kill, they realized that they hadn't made any substantial progress. They cannot be provided with any valuable assistance, and everything they need must be delivered from the rear.
Although the logistics of the demons are relatively simple, it is said that as long as they have energy, other things are not a problem. But that is in the subspace. In the real universe, the rules of the real universe must be followed. The power of the subspace can distort the rules, but there is no upper limit, and the consumption is also very large.
In the past wars, the demons have not paid much attention to this issue. The main reason is that resources can be found everywhere, such as water, gas, heavy metals, and even life. Efficiency, extract what they need from these resources, and then create a variety of destructive effects.
But this time, the area they set foot on is physical, but there is a sense of nowhere to rely on as entering deep space.
The cannon fodder units of the first order seem to be a kind of life, with rough skin like rhinoceros hide, and an exceptionally strong physique. They are like rubber tires, hard but tough. The fangs and claws of extraordinary power, or the erosion of energy, are difficult to tear apart as easily as ordinary creatures.
According to the experience gained by demons in the past, generally this kind of existence often means the enrichment of life energy and soul energy. Not only is the soul delicious, but even the flesh and blood soaked with a lot of psionic energy is extraordinarily sweet.
But these cannon fodder soldiers of the first order are different. After they are killed, they will immediately become gray and decayed. They look like rocks, but they cannot be regarded as rocks, because once a greater force is exerted on them , it will be crushed into slag, and it is a gravel-like thing that can no longer be bonded.
At first, the demons didn't care too much about it.
An important reason is that they have noticed that these enemies like self-destruction very much. They feel that it is this kind of self-destruction that consumes the energy contained in themselves, making them unprofitable.
And another reason for not caring about it is that this invasion, the top bigwigs invested, big money, big battles, can be squandered wantonly, no need to trick and calculate, as long as they can keep winning, other things are not a problem.
But soon they were disgusted by a discovery, that is, the corpses of the cannon fodder soldiers who died in the First Order would absorb water like a sponge, not only devouring the energy in the area, especially the extraordinary energy.
This is an application of the evil god cells.
After Kane fully analyzed the characteristics of the evil god's cells of the Old One, he insisted on dismantling them to the point where they could be mass-produced by technological means, and their attributes were simplified as much as possible to form elements, and then freely combined according to actual needs.
Moreover, in order to facilitate control and not leave any opportunities for the enemy, the child-mother prototype mechanism is adopted. The prototype body is the mother body, which can reproduce infinitely, but the reproductive body is an extinct body, which survives for a limited time and has no possibility of reproduction.
The first order even specifically used the characteristics of life to find a way out of existence independently, and built it into a pit, and the mechanism of corpses absorbing energy originated from this.
Those that can absorb water may not necessarily be seeds that will germinate, but may also be sawdust that will only rot and accelerate degradation. That's pretty much the reason.
The demons are used to being masters, especially when they come to the real universe to compete, they always spend a lot of money, which is very exciting.
Kane, however, comes from a bitter background, he is used to being diligent and thrifty, and he also loves to work hard in this area, especially after the completion of micro-technology, he likes to use the principle of dripping water through rocks and gathering armpits to make fur to the extreme.
Each wreck may not be able to absorb much energy, but if there are too many, the efficiency will be terrifying.
The demons, on the other hand, have nothing to do with the slag that will be further pulverized after absorbing energy. They also have the habit of cleaning the battlefield, but that is only a harvest, at least it must be something of value. They are not used to cleaning.
Fortunately, demons can be regarded as master knights in the forces of chaos, and there are always servants around them. If they don't want to do it, they can order servants like chaos believers to do it.
However, the demons soon discovered that the servants who were always happy to do this kind of thing, and even tried to flatter them in order to compete for the quota, were full of complaints and procrastinated this time.
It was also this discovery that lifted the veil of the social ecology of the forces of chaos, and taught a lesson to the demons who usually don't care much about certain aspects.
Among the forces of chaos, "no benefit, no early return" is still the most reasonable saying, even more so than the ordinary world.
If the demons are ferocious beasts that are born to eat big meat, then their servants are the vultures and crows that eat bones and flesh, and there are even ant tribes that further eat minced meat.
The first order is so unprofitable that it can starve ants to death, and the lower the bottom, the more vulnerable, almost all of them have no overnight food at home. If they work without profit, that is to let them die.
It is said that you eat meat and I drink soup. Although the devils usually give the soup completely depends on their mood, but in fact they are extravagant, and the leaked ones are enough for the people below to survive, and the soup they give is often a tooth sacrifice for the people below. , or even a small windfall.
But among the forces of chaos, exploitation is often extremely cruel, and the unspoken rules that have been formed for a long time make the underlying social ecological environment always on the verge of collapse.
Aggressive wars are often the means to alleviate such crises. The bottom of the chaotic forces, just like the nomads who encountered disasters in Kane’s hometown in ancient times, went south to find food. They left some rations for their families, and then invested the rest in preparations for aggression. If they couldn’t win, they would die , most of the family members will not get better.
Of course, most of the bottom of the chaotic forces do not have the sense of family responsibility, they only care about themselves, but even so, there is a corresponding structure that needs to be maintained. Same cost.
In short, it was the first order that staged the "poor enough to starve mice to death", which exposed the current situation of the forces of chaos, and then further revealed the social status of the four evil gods in the entire forces of chaos, as well as their personal energy. Approximate proportions, etc.
Many demon lords also considered for the first time how many times their previous battles were purely from the heart, rather than ignorantly realizing that the wars were for the survival of the group with themselves as the core.
Some demons even suspect that if they don't mix well, it is likely that their subordinates are too greedy. The war was provoked by them intentionally or unintentionally, but after the war, it didn't get much benefit, but it was a mess...
Of course, this is in the Warhammer 40K universe. If it is in the DND universe, people with this kind of brain, let alone being a devil, are those who are repeatedly used as gunmen, and either grow up or die. It will not set off any thought trend, because those who are not smart enough will be eliminated.
The bottom layer of the chaos force was howling with hunger, and the demons realized that they were really like the ancient knight masters in some respects. They couldn't even wear armor by themselves, let alone mount a horse to fight.
And by killing one as an example to make those lazy and low-skinned servants move, it can only be a temporary solution, and it will not work if the time is prolonged.
Only then did the demons realize what it means to fight a war that keeps getting poorer and poorer.
The stalemate in Gladius' war to the present is largely due to the fact that the demon army is not motivated from top to bottom.
Tzeentch’s self-proclaimed generosity, if placed on other battlefields, is valid. After all, even if demons in other battlefields do not make profits, they will not pay back. They can be captured by defeating the enemy, and resources can be found everywhere even without defeating. But here, the ones paid by Tzeentch are a bit difficult to maintain for those who are used to the extravagance, so naturally they can't work at full capacity.
Interestingly, as a kind of intelligent creature, the demons are not bad at adapting. The 'smart demon' was born soon, and then the more explicit demon-style demon was also born, similar to the operation without effort Gradually become popular.
In a society where scumbags are everywhere like the forces of chaos, bad customs and habits can always prevail quickly.
The demons fighting on the front line gradually not only played tricks in various ways, but also took pleasure in other's misfortunes. Every time a new demon army arrived, they would watch the show from the sidelines.
And it soon evolved into not only watching theatre, but mopping, teasing, picking up corpses, and so on.
The newly arrived demon army often quickly tastes what it means to beat the enemy, and how sour it is to cheat one's own side with Sailiang's allies.
And this time when Khorne's legion entered the arena, it was even more out of the question.
Just a few hours before Kane arrived at Gladius, the demons of a certain legion of Khorne really felt the unique style of Gladius.
Many of their old enemies, old rivals, and Tzeentch's elite army are familiar faces. They no longer have the annoying arrogance and poisonous tongue that can make people alive. Instead, they are cowardly and humble. Lead your subordinates to do things like scavenging that the servants in the past may not have done. When you look at the past with suspicious eyes, you are often greeted with humble, flattering smiles and gestures.
This shit has been done by the enemy and even changed his temper?
And the Tzeentch demons, as if they understood the minds of the Khorne demons, smiled in their hearts: "We can still bend our knees to survive, how about you? After a while, when you are poor and crazy, you won't even grab children. What should I do? Suicide? "...
