This is our Warhammer journey

Chapter 57: Word Bearers: Let's board it. Hey, this Mechanicus cruiser looks very weak. I'll go -

In the burning void sea, the ramming horns of the expeditionary fleet's Oberon-class battleship "Holy Commandment" tore through the nebula curtain, and the nearly ten-kilometer-long armored hull reflected the faint light of the stars.

"volley."

The array of light spears simultaneously burst out with red-gold rays, and the void shield on the bow of the Imperial ship began to ripple like water waves.

Three seconds later, the cluster of profane spires on the port side of the Chaos battleship exploded one after another, and the melted metal and mutant corpses condensed into ice crystals in the vacuum.

The macro cannon array began its second round of attack.

The portside macrocannon unleashed a barrage of armor-piercing shells at three-second intervals, swarms of tungsten-cored warheads gouging cones of fire through the Chaos warship's armor belt.

When the seventh round of macro-cannons was fired, the enemy ship's rear armor finally collapsed, and plasma flames gushed out from the cracks, throwing the engines of two sections of the profane thrusters and half of the biomass facility into the void.

Above the enemy ships, the battle barges of the Sharknado Regiment swept across the battlefield, and the assault cabins pierced into the enemy ships like sharp arrows.

Because the Imperial and Chaos ships were too heavy in structure, after the Prospector Fleet's sufficient firepower tore apart the Chaos escort fleet, subsequent operations against heavy ships fell into a stalemate.

The damage was borne by the Inquisition's black ships, which were comparable to battleships, and the combined fleet swam swiftly around the enemy ships, like a killer whale hunting a baleen whale.

Continue bleeding until the enemy ship completely collapses.

"Do we need to join the boarding next?"

Inside the observation cabin, a stream of data flashed through Romulus's eyepiece.

He was studying, and the data on the mechanical priest on this ship gave him a lot of convenience, enough to build a model for commanding single-ship operations.

But sometimes Romulus really couldn't understand why the Empire was afraid of ground units like the Great Demon. If these warships just took a random weapon array and fired at the surface of the planet, even the Emperor Titan would blow you up on the spot.

To protect the planet's environment?

I remember that the Empire's climate recovery technology can restore planets that have been eaten by Tyranid swarms.

"No need!"

Marshal Orlando and Tiberus gave their warnings almost at the same time, fearing that these elders would jump overboard in excitement.

The casualties in boarding operations are heavy, and the random factors of small ships entering the void are too high. Even Space Marines will not send veterans or high-ranking members of the chapter to carry out such missions when they have the advantage.

"."

Feeling the tension about to overflow from the other end of the communication, Romulus chose to keep quiet.

He turned his head and watched the wreckage of three Chaos cruisers that had drifted to the edge of the battlefield slide towards the star's gravitational field. Sometimes he really wanted to complain about these Space Marines who had begun to treat them as holy relics.
-
"Wizard, the false emperor's lackeys are boarding the ship. We are limited in number and cannot hold them back for long!"

Inside the Chaos battleship, Chaos Space Marines, burned beyond recognition by the promethium flames ejected from the ruptured pipes, climbed onto the bridge.

The roar was mixed with the murmur of sticky substances rubbing against each other, and the fluorescent slime overflowing from the rupture of its chest was corroding the floor.

Phew!

A scepter made of blue flame crystal and twisted bones pierced the ceramsite armor, and the energy of the warp burned twisted scorch marks on the edge of the wound.

The pierced Nurgle Word Bearer howled, and the blood spurting from the wound had solidified into ice crystals in the vacuum environment. These dark green polyhedrons reflected the dim light of the scepter and drew strange, twisted trajectories in the cabin.

"You interrupted the divination that could have saved our fate."

The Tzeentchian sorcerer's voice grates like rusted gears. Behind his mask, inlaid with nine concentric circles, twenty-seven neural probes roam within his skull. Beneath his helmet, the Chaos sorcerer, whose nine eyes had already mutated, stares at the surface of his flesh altar. Corroded fragments of the Imperial Truth and Chaos Scriptures form a strange symbiotic pattern.

"What do you mean by the weakest and most important point? The cruiser named Aurora is the biggest weakness of this fleet?"

The vibrations from the artillery fire hitting the armor were transmitted continuously from the armor to the brain. The Word Bearers Chaos Sorcerer fell silent as he looked at the results of his divination.

Until the boiling brain solution in the divination device gradually subsided, the bubbles of prophecy obtained by sacrificing the eyes and brains of ninety highly educated imperial nobles began to burst one after another.

Only then did he look away.

Why does this result look like a joke from the Lord of Change?
Even though his brain was almost intoxicated by the Chaos Scriptures, he couldn't believe that the pseudo-emperor's lackeys could put such an important thing on a cruiser.

Moreover, this cruiser is located on the periphery of the long-range strike formation, in the middle of the entire fleet. It is unremarkable and is just a member of the fleet maneuvering with the battleship group.

Unconvinced, he grabbed several pagans on the bridge with psychic lightning and crushed them into blood plasma in the cruelest way.

The body of the Nurgle Word Bearer, which was pierced at its feet, began to mutate. Blue transparent branches stretched out from the festering flesh, trying to grab the dissipating fragments of the prophecy.

The wizard then threw out the gene seed of the goddess of vengeance, which he had just obtained and had not yet warmed up, and poured it into the altar along with the blood plasma, restarting the divination ceremony.

The blue crystal on top of the scepter suddenly projected nine holographic images, each reflection interpreting a different timeline.

In four of the timelines, the Sharknadoes had breached the defenses and severed their own heads in four different ways. In the other four, the battleships overloaded their power cores and were subsequently engulfed in artillery fire.

The last and only record of his survival was the assault boat that boarded the cruiser he was boarding.

Still the same result.
The neural probe buzzed, and the Word Bearer wizard, who had been hating himself for selling out his teammates and running too slowly, looked around.

The guards who had just surrounded him all took a step back, and only the leading sergeant bravely stepped forward.

".grown ups?"

The wizard ignored the sergeant and raised his scepter.

The Chaos Space Marine he had just killed had turned into an empty armor with only ashes left inside. The captain who had grown together with the command throne was smashed into a pulp by a collapsed pillar.

Apart from his own guards, there was no other qualified sacrifice on this decaying bridge.

The Lord of Change is also the Lord of Hope. Perhaps my sacrifice pleases Him?
The wizard began to think.

There must be something important on that ship that they haven't noticed. As long as I get that thing, I may be able to leave alive. This is the clear path pointed out to me by the Lord of Change.

"Yes, that's it, that's how it should be."

The wizard thought so, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this conclusion was correct. He quickly convinced himself and believed in this reason.

"Prepare the assault boats and lock onto that cruiser."

He suddenly stood up, glanced at the guards who had returned to their positions, and spoke with unprecedented confidence.

"I will find guidance for you in life."

How could a Mechanicus cruiser really cause such a stir?

If I can’t beat the fake emperor’s lackeys, I can’t beat you either?
