Guilliman moved his eyes away from the broken bodies in the two cages, and turned to look at Machine Body standing aside.

Of course Iax heard Trajann Valoris's request.

A Holographic Projection is projected in front of everyone's eyes.

"Based on the results of 7,300 battlefield simulations, the possibility of transfer leads to an additional risk of 37.6%, including the possibility of prisoner escape."

"According to our plan, using Psychic Disintegration Weapon has a high probability of completely eliminating these two threats."

Guilliman and Trajann Valoris looked at each other, and then asked with some uncertainty.

"Psychic Disintegration Weapon?"

Holographic Projection interlaced and laid out a large number of images. With the help of the vision and reaction brought by Superman's body, Guilliman and Trajann Valoris quickly scanned each picture.

The contents of these images are not complicated. Most of them are records of the Daemon war that took place on Imperium Garden World and Paradise World.

Much of this information is already known to Guilliman and Trajann Valoris.

The information reported by Inquisition and Departmento Munitorum all indicate that Men of Iron has an energy weapon that is extremely effective against Daemon's attack, and has the effect of almost ignoring Daemon's defense.

This is the first time they know the name of this weapon.

"Iax, tell me, how did Men of Iron confirm that these Daemon are permanently dead?"

Guilliman stared expectantly at Iax Machine Body's electronic eyes that glowed with light blue and asked this question.

However, Iax was stuck for a moment. Psychic Disintegration Weapon itself is a test weapon. It was not fully verified in the end. Only the finished weapon shooting and effectiveness were confirmed.

There are not so many monsters and ghosts from Warp in the Federation Era universe.

Daemons are full of strange things, and those Monsters that can only scream, kill and destroy everywhere cannot record any effective characteristics at all.

And Milky Way is so huge that based on its current scale, the probability of encountering it a second time is almost slim.

Guilliman was a little surprised to see Iax fell into silence.

This was the first time he saw Iax fall into silence.

According to the data records... Verify... Confirm the logical misunderstanding... Second correction... It is impossible to confirm whether Daemon disappears permanently, and additional supplementary tests will be arranged later.

Command redistribution. New test target sequence, capture dark Aeldari Corsair.

A series of data streams flashed through Iax and Computational Core.

The surrounding Destroyer Robot and Elatana Armed Sentinel walked towards the open space aside, and then an arc of light flashed, and the remaining Mechanical Units disappeared into the air instantly.

The sudden flash of Warp fluctuations made everyone at the scene inexplicably nervous.

However, nothing happened except Mechanical Units disappeared.

Iax's tall machine moved away, revealing the detention device that was previously guarded.

"It is temporarily impossible to verify the special performance of the weapon. The detention cage will be delivered to Imperium Adeptus Custodes."

Guilliman nodded and then looked at Trajann Valoris.

Trajann Valoris immediately waved his hand, and a team of Adeptus Custodes immediately stepped forward and tried to transport the two mechanical cages away.

No one noticed that Ang'grath in the cage suddenly had a weird smile on his ferocious expression after hearing Men of Iron's words.

After scanning the battlefield, which was gradually returning to calm, the Imperium troops who had come for sightseeing had to return to Terra once again.

The support troops that had arrived near the orbit were ordered to return to their original defense positions immediately.

Iax did not leave, but followed Guilliman to return to Central Administratum in Terra, while Trajann Valoris followed the escort team and prepared to return directly from other entrances to Shadow Vault underground in the Imperial Palace.

Iax originally wanted to discuss the compensation plan for this accident with Guilliman.

However, Guilliman signaled Iax to wait for Trajann Valoris to return and discuss it with the other party.

After all, Ordo Sinister is under the jurisdiction of Adeptus Custodes.

It is not unusual for Guilliman to propose a compensation plan for Iax. Men of Iron has an almost rigid principle of fairness. Many Imperium troops have received various strange compensations from Men of Iron.

It ranges from a batch of reinforced Lasgun to a large batch of reinforced armored tanks. Since these are finished equipment, Imperium's senior management did not appear too nervous.

The Imperium troops often have a unified approach to these creations from Steel Allies.

Send these equipment to Forge World and ask Fabricator-Sage to sell them at a good price.

The Lasgun manufactured by Men of Iron is more powerful and more efficient than the Lasgun manufactured by Imperium.

Originally Guilliman was worried that Men of Iron would leak some dangerous knowledge.

However, Imperial Inquisition and several Hidden Conclaves have been tracking the equipment flowing into Imperium's troops for a long time.

Most of the equipment maintains the use method of Imperium, but the materials are better and the internal design structure is more reasonable. Although some mechanical structures have been extensively modified, they are not mixed with any dangerous technology.

And the Sages of Adeptus Mechanicus are also very happy to recycle these special equipment.

One Lasgun made by Men of Iron can be exchanged for more than fifty standard Lasgun at Forge World.

Even though the material looks slightly different from the one made by Imperium.

In the large office, Guilliman was already immersed in countless documents and reports.

The huge machine body of Iax stands aside like a sculpture of Alloy.

"Prisoner dies."

Iax's cold voice suddenly sounded, alarming Guilliman.

"What did you say?"

Guilliman almost immediately realized the identity of the prisoner Iax mentioned.

Through Power Armour's communication system, Guilliman immediately connected to Trajann Valoris's communication.

However, Trajann Valoris in the communication had a pale face.

Daemon is far more cunning than he thought.

The two cages were brought to the outskirts of Terra by Thunderhawk Transporter, and then loaded onto a carrier vehicle under the eyes of Trajann Valoris.

Under the protection of many Adeptus Custodes, the entire escort team slowly moved forward towards a secret tunnel.

And this is just one of the countless secret passages underground in Terra.

Thick armored gates opened and closed one after another, and their figures moved forward in the dark, deep tunnel filled with the smell of decay. The Icon and mysterious Runes carved on Power Armour shimmered with faint light.

Every step fell, accompanied by a low, muffled sound, echoing in the tunnel of Silence.

But even so, these golden-armored guards still never relaxed in the slightest.

Trajann Valoris walked at the front in person, constantly scanning the surroundings.

Terra's defense is very solid, but that doesn't mean there won't be any accidents here.

Over the course of countless years, many invasions have occurred here, but most of them were handled quietly by the Adeptus Custodess.

Under the confinement of the cage, Ang'grath's eyes, burning with evil fire, as if from the abyss, were keenly aware of every move of Adeptus Custodes around him. Every tiny movement and every rhythm of breathing was included in his calculations.
