Warhammer: Beginning with Planetary Governors

Chapter 581 Savior: You are all my children, come to your godfather quickly!

Roan received another bad news, which came from Guilliman's camp.

Another hub world was destroyed, and it happened without any warning.

No life on the entire hub planet survived, and the guard fleet turned into floating scrap metal.

There is almost no ability to resist.

By the time Guilliman arrived with his fleet, the enemy had disappeared without a trace, leaving only wreckage all over the ground.

There was no doubt that this was a trick of the Chaos Gods, the ugly gods of the Warp had become more cautious and difficult to deal with, attempting to continue to cause the Imperium to bleed and collapse.

They have enough patience and life to accomplish this.

Taco looked serious and said slowly:
"Your Majesty, according to the investigation of the psykers, the energy of the warp in the Obscure Segmentum has increased again. They say that darkness is spreading and the suffering is further intensified."

Ron sighed slightly: "Perhaps we should deploy more troops, organize more defenses, and speed up the recovery of the dark area.

That also means we need faster webway routes. Can the Engineering Department repair the collapsed webway?"

There are only a dozen or so webway route nodes that can be used on the dark side of the Hazy Star Domain, and most of the others are in a state of collapse or are unnavigable.

That was the damage caused by the ancient war in Heaven, which caused the collapse of certain sections of the webway and affected navigation.

Therefore, they can only use the Webway routes in a small number of nodes, and most of the others use the subspace navigation. Even the crossing between star sectors will take weeks or even months.

This caused them to always be a step behind, unable to catch up with the unknown enemy, and unable to stop the continued spread of darkness in time.

"The Mechanicum and the Webway Division have studied it, and they believe that the framework of those Webways is still there and can be repaired.

But that will take a long time.”

Ron frowned and asked, "We can't wait that long. What is the difficulty in the restoration project?"

"The Mechanicus has already made some preliminary research results on the machinery that can clear the chaotic energy in space, but it will take some time before it can be put into production..."

Taco was familiar with all the issues that needed to be reported, and tried to use simple words and concepts to introduce the difficulties of the network channel repair project.

After all, His Majesty the Savior doesn't know much about technology.

"Oh, I see."

Ron suddenly realized and nodded: "What we lack is a shield machine that can dig in the chaotic energy of the subspace, which has affected the progress of the project."

"You're right."

Taco responded respectfully, "His Majesty the Savior's description was a little off, but that was roughly the case."

"Hiss~ Subspace Tunnel Boring Machine..."

Ron seemed to have thought of something, trying to dig out the remaining memories in his mind: "It seems that our empire has a ready-made thing. Where is it?"

Since the founding of the empire, a large number of miscellaneous black technologies and relics have been collected, but in most cases they were destroyed or sealed and hidden.

It's almost like collecting antiques, which is really a waste of resources.

But there was nothing that could be done about it. After all, the Lord of Change and the Warp were causing trouble, and the Mechanicus did not dare to conduct research due to its doctrine. What else could they do except seal it up?
Fortunately, the restrictions on research have now been lifted.

"Tuchucha Engine, Plague Heart, Ouroboros!"

Suddenly, Ron uttered three unfamiliar nouns.

He recalled some information, and everything suddenly became clear: "Fuck, I didn't expect the Empire to have such good stuff hidden?!"

The Tuchucha Engine is an ancient device with self-awareness, or a subspace artifact that can perform subspace migration efficiently and accurately.

Today, following the destruction of Caliban, that engine lies hidden within the bowels of the Dark Angels' monastery, the Stone Space Fortress.

It was also the Tuchucha engine that enabled the fortress to travel through the subspace faster and even ignore some space turbulence.

It's a pity that such a treasure has become a secret, and even the Dark Angel has gradually forgotten it.

It is believed that the Stonehenge's warp capabilities are a gift from the Emperor.

In addition to the Tuchucha Engine, two other artifact relics - Plague Heart and Ouroboros - are also crucial.

Because when these three are combined, they create a construct known as the Dissonance Engine, which is able to penetrate the veil between the Warp and reality, creating a rift that connects space and time.

That's right, it's something similar to a subspace tunnel boring machine, or the Dissonance Engine itself is the artifact used by the Ancients to create the Webway.

"The Tuchucha Engine is definitely in the Stone Fortress, and the Ouroboros is probably in there too. Now the only thing missing is the Plague Heart."

Ron thought about the past and tried to find clues.

He had a new speculation: "Maybe the Heart of the Plague is in my hands..."

According to the original course of fate, the demigod demon pilot Vashtor joined forces with Abaddon to trap the Dark Angels, hoping to seize the Tuchucha Engine and Ouroboros.

Then form a discord engine to dig into the webway to "unlock" it.

Most likely, they wanted to pry open something like the ancient saint's treasure house, or use it as a destructive weapon.

“I can only say that those guys have no sense of development at all. It would be great if they could use the discordant engine to build roads and develop high-speed routes.

Wouldn't it be possible for our army to attack wherever we point it?"

Unfortunately, Vashtor's great plan died before it even began and was torn apart by the Emperor.

I also licked that guy's bag and got a lot of good stuff.

The artifact relics were sent to some research institutes for study, and perhaps the Heart of the Plague was among them.

As long as it can get the Tuchucha engine, its machine soul consciousness will naturally be able to distinguish it. After all, the parts of the artifact will naturally attract each other.

"Once I can obtain the Dissonance Engine, not only will the Redemption Expedition go more smoothly, but the Empire will also have more Webway routes and even a chance to counterattack!"

Ron was quite excited and even more eager to get the Discord Engine.

In this way, not only can they repair collapsed webways, but they can also independently dig and build more webway routes.

With subspace tunnel boring machines, green-skinned laborers and the resources of the Empire, a low-profile webway construction team is already available!
In the past, it was difficult for the Imperial Army to enter the Warp realm.

However, with the Discord Engine, he can create a channel to carry the flames of war into the Warp, which is an opportunity for counterattack that the Empire has never had before!
Of course, that would require more strength and Blackstone weapons, equipment, and vehicles that could suppress the Warp.

Moreover, digging the channel between the subspace and reality is also very risky. You might end up digging into a cesspool, and it would be troublesome if it becomes like Holy Terra.

But what if we first build a passage to the Holy Sun, and then build a passage to the Chaos Realm next to the Holy Sun?
Can we perfectly achieve an imperial marching route that is easy to defend and difficult to attack?

Ron thought excitedly.

Sooner or later, he would lead his massive army to the realm of the Chaos Gods and devastate the land with heavy artillery fire.

fire! ! !
But soon, Ron controlled his excitement and ended his fantasy time:

"Let's get the Tuchucha engine first and deal with the Hazy Star Region first."

He gave the order:

"Taco, gather more fleets and quickly resolve the problem on Avalon.

Then contact the Dark Angels and tell them that the Empire needs the Stone Fortress and where is the whereabouts of the Lion King Leon?

I need him to convince the Dark Angels..."

As the remnants of the former First Legion, the Dark Angels have a temper as stubborn as that of the Lion King, almost like a stubborn donkey.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been hunting down the fallen angels for ten thousand years.

He, the Primarch of Hope and Emperor of the Empire, wanted to demolish the Dark Angels' sacred monasteries and stone fortresses to remove the Tuchucha Engine and Ouroboros.

They may not agree.

In this case, it would be better to let Leon handle it personally.

I believe that the First Primarch, the Lion, can judge the situation and make the right choice.

Ron turned to look at Taco and asked:

“By the way, didn’t we already send Jose and the 15th Redemption Fleet to rescue the besieged Lion King?

Now that so much time has passed, they should have found the person, right?"

"I was just about to report this to you."

Taco shook his head and told the message he had just received: "Jose received a message from Lord Lion asking for help and led a fleet to a wild planet for support, but failed to find them."

"Did he get caught in a trap set by the Ten Thousand Eyes War Gang?"

"Not so, my Lord.

The lord was attacked from orbit, led his team into the forest to avoid it, and then left in some form of warp teleportation."

"Forest, subspace teleportation?"

Hearing this, Ron was a little amused: "It seems that guy has initially accepted his own subspace nature, and I don't know where he has gone."

He felt that the Lion King was making his journey back difficult, as he couldn't find anyone every time.

Now that the Lion King has run away, no one knows where he has gone. Who knows when he will return to reality and where he will appear.

"I can't wait for him..."

Ron was a little worried. He needed to deal with the Dark Angel and obtain the Tuchucha Engine as soon as possible.

In this case, it might be more effective to use the family offensive.

First confirm the father-son relationship between you and the Dark Angel, and then ask for the Tuqiucha engine. Maybe what your godfather says will be more useful.

What's more, it's for the empire.

At worst, we could build them a bigger fortress monastery, or gather and patch up the remains of Caliban to build a small asteroid base.

“And the Fallen Angels.

If I can deal with those fallen angels and clarify the truth of that year, maybe I can even win the favor of the Dark Angels."

Ron thought so.

Anyway, try to turn the Dark Angels and Fallen Angels into your own cubs as much as possible, just like the Man-eating Sharks and other regiments.

Soon after, the Dream entered a short-range warp jump to reach Avalon, where the Fallen Angels were, as quickly as possible.

It is said that the place is invaded by Chaos.

While searching for the fallen angels, he must also help the planet resolve the threat of chaos as soon as possible. …

Avalons.

This is a semi-desert civilized planet. Technology is still in the industrialization stage and it is still some distance away from becoming a hive world.

The hot wind blew up dust, spreading across the low long-leaf forest, leaving mottled black and red marks among the leaves.

Those were scars left by blood and hateful mucus carried by the wind and sand.

Rumble-

More than a dozen Poison Hammer super-heavy tanks drove past against the wind and sand, leaving deep marks on the sand, and behind them were more off-road vehicles carrying soldiers.

This Astra Militarum armored unit quickly moved deep into the desert, vaguely seeing space cracks in the depths and hearing hateful roars.

Chaos has invaded the area, turning nearly half of the desert into a sticky black color, and demons and mutated monsters are pouring out in an endless stream.

They need to build artillery positions to defend against those demons and mutated monsters.

"Warriors!"

The local commander stood on a heavy off-road vehicle, roaring in the wind and sand, and his hoarse voice echoed in the armored force's channel.

"We must hold our ground, stop all enemies, and prevent any evil abomination from invading our capital, our city of Xerxes.

Once we enter the defense zone, we cannot retreat or escape. We, the warriors of Avalon, will not bring shame to the Emperor until we die on the battlefield.

For the Emperor!"

The armored unit roared and drove into the wind and sand. The roar of artillery fire gradually became clearer, and there were hundreds of defensive positions on the land in the distance.

Countless flames flickered as continuous artillery fire blocked the black tide.

Boom——

The burning wreckage of the super-heavy tank flew over the commander's head and crashed into the sand behind him, bursting into flames.

In front, more vehicles can be vaguely seen being overturned by the terrifying figure.

The commander looked at this scene with a serious expression.

He knew clearly that the strength of the local Astra Militarum forces was simply unable to withstand the erosion of Chaos.

Fortunately, Avalonus was lucky enough to welcome the Emperor Angel.

The Astra Militarum only needs to stop those abomination enemies, and the rest will be handled by the Emperor's Angels. They will execute the invading abomination leaders!

"Ready to fight!"

As the stench of decay filled their faces, the commander gave the order to fight.

His gaze was so determined.

In the corner of his eye, the commander saw a tall figure that shocked his spirit and made his head hurt, and there were more warriors wearing tattered robes and dark green armor around him.

Those are... the offspring of the Lion King.

But they have another unknown, secret name - Fallen Angels.

boom!
The fallen angel and knight officer Afka was swept by the big devil's tail and flew backwards, overturning the heavy off-road vehicle.

But he quickly picked up the power sword, struggled to get up, and blood flowed from his gray hair.

The armor of this old warrior and fallen angel was covered with scars and patchwork, and was in tatters. Even the robe he wore was made of the cheapest linen.

Not only him, but also the dozens of fallen angels around him.

These Space Marines had long lost their mother group's supplies and were fleeing everywhere like wandering children.

The whole person was in a state of disarray.

But the only thing that remains unchanged is their loyalty to the Emperor and the Empire.

So after Avalon encountered the Chaos crisis, these fallen angels hiding in the slums stood up at the first moment to fight against the Chaos Demons.

Fearless.

"Horlock, Kaiton, cover me."

Afuka looked at the attacking demon minions, his voice old and calm.

He gave orders to the two knight captains.

Although the fallen angels are often scattered, when they gather to fight, they still retain their previous usual organization.

Without any hesitation, Holok and Keaton immediately led the team to meet the enemy.

They had to clear out the annoying demon minions for the Knights and create a combat environment. Not far away, the think tanks were trying to limit the evil power of the Great Demon.

After all these years of hiding.

Some fallen angels no longer rejected psionic power as they had before, but instead learned to accept and use it.

Bang, bang, bang——

Horlock, a veteran of thousands of battles, raised his bolter and fired one bolt shell after another, accurately killing the surrounding demon minions.

But he soon ran out of bullets: "Damn it, I'm out of ammunition, Kaiton, can you give me a magazine?"

If it wasn't a critical moment, the veteran would have been reluctant to use explosive shooting.

That thing is not easy to handle.

Standardized explosive bombs and ammunition are basically only supplied to the Space Marines. These rats hiding in the sewers cannot enjoy such supplies.

"Hey, what a coincidence! I'm out of ammunition too. I was just about to ask you for more..."

Kaiton gave a self-deprecating smile.

He drew out his chainsaw sword and chopped off the demon's minions in front of him, causing pus and blood to splatter everywhere:

"Brother, let's get rid of these stinking scum the old way. It will be more painless!"

The old method mentioned by the Fallen Angel Knight Captain is to fight the demons with bayonets in close combat, which is equivalent to sitting at the same table with poor Chaos Warriors.

But there is no other way. If firepower can be suppressed, who would be willing to take the risk of fighting the enemy in close combat?

Fortunately, they were very skilled and quickly executed all the enemies around them with a few swings of their swords.

It's like the art of killing.

The entire galaxy was amazed by the swordsmanship of the Caliban Knights.

With the help of the fallen angels, Afka gradually approached the Chaos Demon.

He chanted complex spells, and the sword in his hand glowed, emitting a deadly threat.

"Do not……"

The grinning demon realized something and struggled hard to break free from the shackles of witchcraft.

However, his true name has been discovered and his fel power has been weakened.

How can I escape?

For Space Marines or other less powerful warriors, finding out the true name is their only way to defeat the Great Demon.

"Death to the devil!"

Afka leaped high with the spell sword in hand and stabbed the sword into the heart of the demon. The evil energy quickly spread along the gap in the demon's heart.

He seized the opportunity to expel the demon and killed it with one blow.

The great demon knew that his fate of being expelled back to the warp was irreversible, so he grinned:
"You, the zombie king's lackeys, the deepest darkness that cannot be driven away will come. Avalon must be destroyed, and none of you can escape...

No one can!"

The figure of this Chaos Demon disappeared, and the rest of the Chaos army began to flee rapidly.

However, the space rift that spanned the desert still existed, and it became even darker, almost swallowing up everything.

“It’s not over yet.”

Afuka looked at the crack with a gloomy expression.

It was obvious that what he and his soldiers had just driven out were only the vanguard of the enemy.

How powerful is the unknown enemy with a great demon as its vanguard?
"Afuka, we should go."

Holok seemed to have noticed something and came over to remind them: "Our tracks have been exposed, and those lunatics are about to catch us."

The Dark Angels have put a lot of effort into capturing the Fallen Angels, and have even established an intelligence network in certain areas of the dark side that is more dense than that of the Inquisition.

Just to find the traitor faster.

Now that the Fallen Angels have stayed in Avalon for too long, they have reappeared to assist the Empire in its battles.

Based on past experience, they will be discovered soon.

Horlock advised:

"I know you're worried about the demons attacking Avalon again, but the message for help has already been sent out, and the Empire's army will come to help with the defense."

"What if they don't come?" the knight officer asked softly.

Upon hearing this, the fallen angels fell silent.

They realized something and looked up at the knight officer.

A trace of sadness flashed across Afuka's old face.

He made a firm decision:

"I decided to stay. Avalon cannot face the same fate as Caliban..."

The fallen angels did not refute the Knight Officer, but quietly wiped their weapons and prepared for the next battle.

At the same time, a huge dark green warship appeared in the sky above Avalon.

aggressive!
