Warhammer: Just unified the Empire, you said it was 40K

Chapter 211 The Four Gods Join Forces, Once Again Unleashing the Warp Storm of Ten Thousand Years Ago
The Gamma Empire remained silent.

But now, like the human empire, it is caught in a huge storm.

However, the Gamma Empire, on the surface, remained quiet.

It was as if nothing had happened.

Just like the human empire, the defense zone of Cardia was quiet, devoid of chaos, large numbers of aliens, or any ominous signs.

Quietly, as if nothing had happened.

However, within this, an unimaginable storm of terror was brewing within the empire.

Abaddon's army partially retreated into the warp.

Just like the twelve Great Crusades of the past, they retreated to the warp and waited for thousands of years before launching another Great Crusade, giving the Empire nearly a thousand years of breathing room.

Meanwhile, the colossal weapon, as large as a planet and piloting the Black Stone Obelisk, is heading towards Kadia.

Cardia is the Empire's most powerful defensive world.

Every inch of this land seems to be imprinted with a sacred 'mark,' as if the will of the emperor eternally exists on this planet.

This planet is also the largest black stone obelisk in the universe.

These dark creations, which have existed in Kadia for countless ages, are unknown to the empires. However, it is their existence that has suppressed the Eye of Terror for countless years, firmly establishing the sphere of influence of Chaos at the center of the Eye of Terror.

And now, the Black Legion of Abaddon, the Chaos Warmaster, is approaching this world like a shadow.

Their goals are very clear, and their commands are extremely precise.

What they want is to completely destroy the entire world of Cardia, to utterly destroy this terrifying creation that prevents Chaos from escaping.

May the black obelisk that suppressed the Eye of Fear vanish completely from the universe, and may chaos once again tear open a wound in the belly of the Milky Way that can never heal.

The human empire, however, was completely unaware of the impending crisis.

Perhaps the Empire's Ministry of the Interior had already noticed something unusual, but the Empire's bloated and corrupt system of decrees prevented this order, which should have been delivered long ago, from being passed on.

The intertwined interests among nobles and in politics also made this information slow and cumbersome. In a short period of time, Kadia was almost unable to obtain assistance from the Empire, and many warbands were also unaware of the impending crisis. After all, crises always come silently.

And tens of thousands of light-years away from the Eye of Fear.

It is the border region of the empire, a place filled with chaos, aliens, and all sorts of strange and complicated forces.

These forces are deeply entrenched, with intertwined internal interests, involving most of the races in the galaxy. It is a region that the Empire cannot control, and at the same time, a world that the Empire has left unchecked. In this region of the world, the Star Speakers family wields greater influence.

These families of navigators, who become the navigators of the Empire and also guide the aliens, possess extensive experience and are of great significance in guiding the entire world.

Without them, the empire almost lost its helmsmen.

The Star Speakers here had already lost contact with the Empire. A ship that relied on collecting tithes from the pilot family was swept away by the turbulence of the warp while sailing near this planet.

The storm that raged from here in the warp began to rise again, just like it did ten thousand years ago.

Moreover, this storm was more intense than ever before. After personally experiencing the storm, a member of the Navigator family instantly sensed the terrifying crisis hidden within the subspace storm.

"Never have I seen such a terrifying hurricane. Does the Empire even know what's happening here?"

He had never seen such a terrifying hurricane. Even though he had seen countless giant waves in the warp, they were still worried about the tides caused by this warp storm.

This storm could even extinguish the torch of the empire that has always shone brightly.

The Empire's ships sailed only by the Empire's torch, a torch that burned eternally, like a sun hanging in the warp.

Regardless of the storms in the warp, they could always find their way by following the direction of the torches. Within the Empire, they could always rely on the direction of the Imperial Star Torch to find their way back to the Empire.

And now, the brewing subspace storm is simply too great.

The entire subspace storm will engulf the entire human empire and the entire galaxy.

This storm could last for hundreds or even thousands of years.

The last time in the history of the human empire was such a powerful warp tide that the Emperor sat on the Golden Throne forever.

And this time.

It happens again.

Such a violent warp storm was brewing, and it was first intended to strip the forces of the Star Speakers and Navigators from the Empire's control.

This is equivalent to the empire losing its eyes and hands.

The empire was at a disadvantage from the very beginning.

Now, the enemy is already on their way, and has already severed the Empire's eyes and hands.

These navigators, if they wish to bring the message back, must embark on a suicidal path, paving the way for the human empire.

A long time ago.

The Imperium's navigators had already begun doing just that. They suicidally entered warp portals, navigated the raging warp storms to locate the Imperium, and then returned to its side. Through one fearless navigator after another, they once again became the Imperium's eyes and ears, bringing with them a large number of loyalist chapters to the defense of Terra.

This event, orchestrated by the Four Gods, stirred up fluctuations throughout the subspace, plunging the entire world into crisis.

Upon realizing this incident, the imperial forces began taking steps to save themselves.

They will absolutely not receive any help from those in the High Lords Council of the Empire.

They can only prepare in advance of a potential crisis.

This is their way of survival, and the fundamental reason why they are able to survive in this universe.

"The empire is in danger."

Although various parts of the empire have been constantly hinting that the empire should be wary of an attack from Chaos.

However, the lessons learned from the empire have not allowed the current empire to learn from its past failures.

At the heart of the imperial power struggle.

Documents are being shelved one by one.

These documents, which should have been submitted to the Ministry of the Interior and to the highest authority, were instead used as documents for their mutual attacks.

The Curse of Faithlessness in the Chaotic World, the Uncontainable Soul Virus, the Large Quantity of Black Stone Fragments in the Cardia Region, and the Disappearance of the Tithe Ships Taken Away by the Empire
One seemingly unrelated message after another was gradually devouring the empire's cards.

Within the empire, there were countless opportunities to perceive the unease and crisis behind these messages.

However, these reports were temporarily shelved due to the internal strife within the empire.

The information that has already been discovered is often delayed or not reported in a timely manner. By the time people think of addressing it, the incident has already occurred, and everything is already set in stone. They are unable to provide support or change the existing situation.

An Imperial ship sails near the Eye of Terror.

This fleet was transporting large quantities of supplies and resources during its voyage.

To protect this tax collection fleet bound for the Cadia region, they stationed elite Imperial troops whose combat strength rivaled that of a typical warband. Their mission, however, was simply to process the confiscated supplies from various places into finished products through different casting worlds and deliver them to Cadia, where they would become all of Cadia's military supplies.

However, the voyage of the fleet was not stable.

The storm in the warp seems to be starting to blow.

This means that the Geller force field shields on their fleet are not completely effective at blocking warp energy.

In addition, the storms in the warp are more intense than before, causing a sense of unease.

A skilled sailor can anticipate an approaching storm by observing changes in the water level and air.

A familiar navigator can also estimate an approaching storm based on changes in certain parts of the subspace, the formation of space storms, the color of the aurora in the subspace, and the density and radiation range of star clusters and nebulae.

"A storm is about to break out in the warp."

How long will it last?

"I don't know, it could be as short as a year, or as long as more than ten years!"

The navigator could only give a rough estimate; he couldn't accurately estimate how long the subspace storm would last.

But even a warp storm that lasts only a year is an absolutely deadly threat to the Empire.

A year of subspace storms is enough to plunge the entire universe back into chaos.

In particular, for a whole year, some local empires did not receive any news from their respective regions.

The Empire was completely unaware of what was happening in those places.

In such a situation, the rampage of chaos would pose an extremely serious threat to the empire.

"Hopefully this storm won't last too long."

There are multiple reasons for the formation of storms in the subspace.

However, most storms are localized and last for a few days at most.

But this time.

The storm he saw covered an extremely large area, the entire subspace, everything visible, nebulae, star clusters, all radiating extreme colors. These unusual colors were the harbingers of an impending storm in the subspace, just like the rhythm of an approaching tempest in the real universe.

The tithe fleet, transporting goods to Cardia, broke through the subspace channel and appeared near Cardia.

However, where they appeared, traces of the enemy were found.

"chaos!"

"So much chaos!"
