Warhammer: This Galen's Heart of Steel

Chapter 84 Archangel

Rotigus, the Great Unclean of Nurgle, personally led the campaign against the Deno system.

Under the attack of the Plague Fleet, the outpost planet on the edge of the Denor galaxy was defeated in the decay, death and distortion of flesh and blood, and none of the Imperial fleet stationed on the planet survived.

But this is just the beginning, and under the leadership of Typhas, they will then begin to spread the gift of Nurgle.

The plague fleet sailed freely in the Denor system. The diseases they spread not only spread like wildfire in the surrounding area, but also began to spread to other areas of the Hazy Star Region along with the voyage of imperial civilian ships.

Rotigus himself was famous for his Destroyer Hives and various zombie plagues, which soon produced practical effects. Billions of Nurgle plague zombies either crawled out of their tombs or directly transformed living people. The spread of the zombie plague was much faster than the plague fleet itself.

Compared with this plague war that has spread across the entire galaxy and continues to spread outward, the plague war that Demacia caused by its primarch mother is simply child's play.

The fearless fleet sailed smoothly through the universe.

While following the angel's route, the astropathic system near the Mandeville Point in the Cosette system did not respond to the calls of the Fearless Pioneer.

Although the astropathic systems of some small star regions do fail from time to time, a star system with a forging world should not make such a low-level mistake.

The Cosette system is a smaller star field close to the Denor system, but its location happens to connect two large star fields.

In the subspace, only Cosette's course remained stable. In the physical universe, Cosette was obviously quite far away from the two star fields closest to her. It would be difficult to smoothly reach the next galaxy relying solely on physical navigation.

The special geographical location makes Cosette a kind of galaxy pass. Since this galaxy is located in a remote place on the border of the empire on weekdays, it is in a deserted state.

But now, the establishment of the Second Legion has made this galaxy reappear on the desks of strategists. If they control this place, Cosette will have the rich and busy Demacia behind her, the home planet of the Second Legion's fearless vanguard, and this place must not be lost.

In the Archangel's plan, the Fearless Vanguard's fleet secretly escorted the Tomb of the Necrons, first passing through Cosette for supplies and manpower, and dispatching more Imperial fleets to escort them, so as to safely reach the fleet's destination, Demacia.

The reason why reinforcements were needed was that the tomb of the Necrons was like a lamp in the darkness, constantly attracting some scattered Necrons to crawl out of the tomb and attack the army of the Fearless Vanguard like crazy.

The fearless attack, coupled with the Necrons' advanced weapon system and intensive and terrifying firepower even suppressed the entire fleet at one point.

In order to ensure the safety of the remaining voyage and successfully complete the task entrusted to him by his Primarch brother, the Archangel decided to increase the Astra Militarum escort fleet.

Then, the Fearless Pioneer now could not receive a response from Cosette.

The Dauntless Vanguard briefly stayed in the warp, but compared to Cosette's delayed response, the Dauntless Vanguard received another weak distress signal.

After identification, it was found that this dynamically encrypted signal used the ciphertext of the Mechanicus. Master Forge Sirius successfully cracked this set of signals and followed the signal to find its source - a small Mechanicus ship that was close to being destroyed.

The boat drifted quietly in the turbulence of the Warp. It was not a ship specially used for Warp navigation. The Geiger field on it was close to zero, and it was obvious that it had entered the Warp urgently. From the spray paint on it, Sanguinius judged that it was Cosette's ship. The task of recovering the ship and the people on it was issued. Considering that this ship of the Mechanicus might be contaminated by the Warp, Sanguinius sent a team led by Master Caster Sirius.

Something is not right.

Sirius stood in silence on the deck of the small vessel, which showed obvious signs of contamination due to the lack of necessary warp protection facilities.

Generally speaking, if you enter the Warp without any protective measures, if you are lucky, nothing will happen. If you are unlucky, the crew will go crazy and the ship will grow a mouth. The Warp will present the deepest fears of mankind's nightmares and drive any intelligent creature into madness.

So Sirius was actually prepared to see a ship full of twisted creatures, but.
The ship's decay was clearly biased.

Swarms of flies crowded on the deck, buzzing loudly. Pus oozed from the gaps between the sampans, making the ground smoother. Shiny colored particles accumulated on the metal walls. Rust was gnawing at every corner of the ship. The dim and rough bumps squirmed like some kind of living slime mold, and as they crawled over, the steel turned into dirty particles like soil.

Sirius was silent. This was an obvious sign of Nurgle. Was it too late to run away now?
It is not surprising that the warriors of the Dauntless Vanguard can easily identify the traces of Nurgle.

Among the four evil gods, Nurgle is the Warp evil god who has the most contact with the Fearless Vanguard. The plague demons under the command of the kind father have attacked Demacia more than once.

Although Demacia's dreams were shattered every time, the demons under Nurgle were like flies seeing shit, and they always competed with Demacia.

Is this part of the Warp very close to Nurgle's territory? Or is this a one-time attack by Nurgle? When both the Dreadnaught and Nurgle are in the same area at the same time, you can never be too careful.

This vibrant scene was faithfully transmitted back to the command room on the Red Tear via radio waves. Sanguinius looked at the swarms of flies in silence. The Primarch breathed laboriously and raised his hand to signal Captain Bartus of the Fourteenth Company to put all the Dauntless Vanguards on alert. The Geiger field of the Dauntless Vanguards was turned to the maximum, and they were prepared to forcibly jump out of the warp at any time.

"Hyleus, act according to your own judgement. If you sense danger, be ready to retreat."

If Sirius's team achieves nothing, or experiences any mental discomfort, including auditory and visual hallucinations.

Sanguinius would immediately retrieve the team, then jump out of the warp and travel back to the previous galaxy to make plans.

Compared to the reckless Galen, the Archangel is more wise in war.

Standing on the edge of the ship's deck, Sirius squatted silently and ran his hand across the floor that had become fertile. The thick moss breathed on the rust, emitting a beautiful and dangerous green.

With heavy breathing, Sirius led the team into the more dangerous cabin. It was very risky, but the rewards were worth it.

A dark shadow was lying on the cabin deck!
