Travel to Warhammer 40K with Grey Wind

On Gray Wind's left hand was a fan-shaped star field with dense starlight: the Krona Sector. As the name suggests, this was a radiating fan-shaped star field starting from the capital of the star field, Krontalina, and running east-west as a whole.

However, in the star map drawn by Huifeng, dozens of inhabited galaxies were specially marked in a striking sapphire blue to distinguish them from the surrounding white spots.

These marked galaxies are distributed in a very regular pattern, and the special sapphire blue symbols are faintly connected in the dense starlight to form a thin star belt that runs through the Klenna sector from north to south.

"These are all galaxies that have been marked with dimensional anchors by the Boundary Breakers." Gray Wind said:

"The Boundary Breakers' behavior here is very strange. They did not expand to the surrounding areas and devour the entire Krenna sector. Instead, they sailed from the north of the sector all the way to the south, using dimensional anchors to nail a star belt that runs through the entire sector and leads to the Eye of Terror."

The Krenna Sector is located on the edge of the Eye of Terror, with Baal to the north and the Eye of Terror to the south.

The direction of the Boundary Breakers was from north to south through Krenna. Their actions were very purposeful: starting from the vicinity of Baal, crossing the dense star cluster in the center of the Milky Way, and heading towards the Eye of Terror.

So crossing the Krona sector was simply a passing through, and I stopped at a roadside stall to buy some snacks to whet my appetite on the way to the buffet.

"The goal is very clear." Russell smiled, not surprised.

"The Eye of Terror is the largest subspace rift in the entire galaxy. It seems that for the Boundary Breakers, pure energy creatures like demons are more delicious than organic life."

Knowing this, the whereabouts of the Boundary Breaker is not so difficult to calculate.

"In addition to the largest Eye of Terror, there are many distortion storms and subspace vortices of varying sizes scattered throughout the Milky Way. These are factors that can attract boundary breakers." Gray Wind recorded the information at hand and said, "The Human Empire should have a star map of the distribution of distortion storms and subspace vortices. This will be very helpful for us to calculate and predict the route of the boundary breakers. Do you want to exchange information with the Empire?"

Russell nodded: "Of course, but before that, we still have to prioritize the purpose of our trip. What is the current situation of the Pluto Star? Is the Megalith Monastery still there?"

"Yes." Gray Wind nodded and said, "The Pluto Star is located in the northwest corner of the Krenna sector, which is not on the route of the Boundary Breaker. Therefore, it has not been nailed to the dimensional anchor. The Megalith Monastery is currently safe and sound."

"That's good." Russell looked up outside the hangar. In the nailed starry sky, there was an ancient planet with deep trauma floating. "Let's go and talk to the Dark Angel."

Chapter 214 Sergius

The Terra Expedition, as the name suggests, the primary mission of the expedition fleet is to deliver the stargate construction template to Terra.

But in addition to this, the expeditionary force also had a secondary mission - to sow stargate seeds in various important star systems along the way to Terra, so that at the end of the expedition, the throne world that obtained the stargate network would be able to integrate most of the human territories scattered throughout the galaxy at one time.

The content of the secondary tasks may seem easy, but they are actually very difficult to accomplish, and may even be more difficult than their main tasks.

The problem lies in the current system of the human empire.

Governor Badab, who is stationed far away in the Maelstrom, is a local emperor who is not under the jurisdiction of Terra. He is not happy to see the L-Gate built in his own territory. The same is true for the ruling classes of other star regions and even planets.

In order to prevent his power from being diluted and seized by the direct jurisdiction of Terra, Governor Badab even dared to fight against the 6th Expeditionary Fleet.

Although the counterattack in the Badab sector was eventually suppressed by Plumeria using bloody means, the Star Claws directly killed all the people of the three major families that controlled the Badab area, both young and old. The cruelty of the means and the thoroughness of the killing were so great that even the Chaos Cult could not compare to them.

Only by exterminating an entire clan can we eradicate future troubles.

If suppressing Badab was such a difficult task, how could the rulers of other planets/regions in the vast Milky Way be easy targets? Looking back on the history of 40,000 years, which ruler would be willing to give up his power?

"Bloody massacres can solve problems temporarily, but they cannot last forever."

"Even with the full support of the Adeptus Mechanicus and the Adeptus Astartes, if the expeditionary fleet continues to push the local rentier class into a desperate situation, then when they arrive at Holy Terra, what will be presented to the Ministry of the Interior will only be a fragmented human empire."

Russell sighed and used the five fingers of his right hand as a comb to play with Huifeng's long silver-gray hair. "So now you understand why the Second Expeditionary Fleet set the construction coordinates of the L-Stargate on the remote planet Pluto instead of the core star system 'Klentalina' in the Krenna sector?"

Gray Wind nodded and said, "The governor of the Krona sector has a tough attitude. He cannot accept the L-gate being built in the core of his territory, and he is even more unwilling to let his base camp 'Krontalina' be directly under the jurisdiction of the Terra government.

But at the same time, he was happy to see the star gate connected, which meant countless smooth trade routes and a lot of wealth. The Krenna sector was located in the center of the galaxy and had a unique resource reserve. However, due to the instability of subspace navigation, he could not sell the resources buried deep in the planet to other parts of the galaxy in exchange for wealth. "

The commander of the 2nd Expeditionary Fleet saw through Governor Krenna's mind, so he built the L-Stargate on the northwest corner of the Krenna sector, the planet of the Pluto. Far away from the core area, but close to the Hive City that produced sulfur crystals, that was Governor Krenna's bottom line.

"Politics is the art of compromise. The commander of the 2nd Expeditionary Fleet is able to grasp the right balance and is a talented person. It's a pity... he is loyal to the Human Empire and is willing to sacrifice his life for the Terra expedition." Russell shook his head with regret. This is exactly the kind of talent he lacks the most.

The anti-entropy AI is smart but lacks human touch. If there were a group of such political elites in the Far East Star Region to take charge of management, Russell's integration plan would be advanced many times faster than it is now.

"By the way, Gray Wind, what is the name of the commander of the 2nd Expeditionary Fleet?"

"Sergius, Marshal, his name is Sergius Beoc."

"Sergius Beok." Russell muttered the name silently. The spatial fluctuations around the hull caused by the jump were gradually dissipating:

"I hope that in the future, a group of outstanding leaders like Sergius will emerge in the Far East Star Region..."

After the vision stabilized, a dark red gloomy planet appeared within the detection range of the Gray Gu mothership.

That is the star of the underworld.

Pluto is very small, only 0.7 standard Terra, but its actual mass is similar to that of Terra, or even larger, because heavy elements account for the majority of the material that constitutes the basis of this planet.

There are a large number of defense satellites and orbital docks arranged around the dark red planet, but there are no four space elevators displayed magnificently. There is only one space elevator on Pluto, which is like a fully automatic conveyor belt that continuously transports raw materials excavated from the interior of the planet to the orbital refinery for refining, and the dark red slag is directly sprinkled into the atmosphere.

The management of the Pluto Star all live in the orbital space station, drinking clear and sweet clean water and eating fresh food transported from Klentalina. They don't care about polluting the atmosphere. As for what kind of harm the slaves above and below the ground will suffer, who cares? Do you care?

Anyway, Russell doesn't care. He can only ensure that such things will not happen in his Far East star region. As for how the people of the empire live, that is the internal affairs of the empire and he has no right to interfere.

"I can already see the boulder."

The star ring was rotating in front of the Gray Gu mothership, and a small celestial body armed with layers of weapons slowly emerged from behind the Pluto Star and slowly entered Russell's frontal field of vision.

Pluto originally had no natural satellites, but the "rock" was too large. This huge stellar fragment from Caliban simply parked in Pluto's orbit, doing nothing, but its own mass had already affected the deposition trend of dark red slag in the atmosphere, making the polluted atmosphere in the southern hemisphere even thicker and suffocating.

Just like Luna influenced Terra.

This artificially modified boulder, with frigates and a fleet of Thunderhawk armed helicopters hovering around it, is the destination of Russell's trip: the Great Stone Monastery.

"Are you ready for what I told you to do before? We are going to visit the Dark Angel's lair." Russell asked with his hands down.

Gray Wind nodded happily. This time she could go with Russell.

She clapped her hands symbolically, and a completely sealed hibernation chamber rose from under the floor. "Ready, Marshal. Miraak's vital signs are stable. There should be no problem for him to hold on until the end of the negotiations."

"That's good." Russell stood up and walked to the hibernation capsule.

The one sleeping in the hibernation capsule was none other than Miraak, the Chapter Master of the Flame of Penance Chapter.

However, the once glorious Flame of Penance Chapter had already been accused of desertion because he left without saying goodbye with the last 32 veterans of the Chapter. The Chapter was disbanded, its flagship was taken away by the Terra Expeditionary Force, and the new recruits who had not yet completed their training were secretly controlled by the Order of Truth.

At this moment, Miraak is the last warrior of the Flame of Repentance Regiment.

"It took a lot of effort to save your life. If I hadn't predicted that you would give me some help in the future, I wouldn't have bothered... Although after learning, I now know that the so-called prophecy is not 100% accurate." Russell complained.

Miraak's disappearance with the last veteran of the Flame of Repentance was the root of all evil. The opening of the Eye of Mystery, the melee in Aurora, the rebellion in Trodrom, and even the destruction of the Death Stalkers and the neutron annihilation suffered by Mirafar were all more or less related to this chapter leader. This made Russell more convinced of the importance of Miraak.

As a result, decades passed and nothing happened, and Russell felt cheated.

Several robotic arms stretched out from the floor, dismantling the entire dormant capsule for easy transportation - this dormant capsule was not actually part of the Gray Goo mothership. Miraak's body had been dormant in the underground base of Fayanan Continent. , Russell specially brought him out on this trip.

"Do you want to wear the Baptist, Marshal?" Gray Wind asked, raising the hibernation capsule above his head with one hand.

"No need, having you by my side is better than anything else."

"Oh……"

Gray Wind was very happy, thinking that this was the Marshal's trust in him. But only Russell himself knew that for him, the Zero Armor and silk underwear were actually the same. The latter was even lighter.

Chapter 215 Paralyzed Boulder

Russell's sudden visit came without any prior notice, and of course he didn't care whether the Dark Angels agreed or not. When the burning dust died down, the psychic cloaking field covering the hull was finally removed, and the silver-white hull was exposed to the detector's scan, the Grey Goo mothership was already on the boulder face.

"Unknown ship!"

"An unidentified ship appeared near the 'Monolith'... Damn it! Why is it so close? Are all the patrol members dead?! Where are the people from the Star Language Hall?!"

"No, this is not right! If such a large ship approaches the boulder, we cannot fail to detect it. We have not detected any subspace fluctuations... All movable ships are ready! Open fire immediately..."

The sudden appearance of the Grey Goo mothership was a horror story for the troops stationed at the Stone Monastery.

This suddenly appearing unidentified ship was so astonishing. Its size and high specifications far exceeded the Dark Angels' Glorious Queen-class flagship "Unyielding Truth". The extremely heavy feeling of oppression made everyone feel breathless.

Especially for the officers who had the honor of being on board the Indomitable Truth and fighting alongside the Dark Angels, the pressure they endured was far greater than those short-sighted lower-level soldiers. Only those who had witnessed the devastating firepower of the Indomitable Truth could truly realize what it meant to be approached silently by such a huge ship.

——means destruction.

Their only chance of winning was to hope that the first wave of concentrated firepower organized in an emergency could cause enough damage to the Grey Goo mothership so that the Stone Monastery's own weapon system could be activated and put into battle.

"Only the Stone Monastery that has fully entered war mode can compete with such a miracle ship..." An officer on the frigate looked at the massive amount of live ammunition exploding in space, and countless spears of light piercing through the void to bombard the mothership. This was the last thought in his life.

The next second, Grey Wind tactfully objected to this idea by sinking the ship.

The violent attack blasted around the Gray Goo mothership, creating turbulent waves. There was no doubt that the defensive power of the Stone Monastery was enormous. Any other heavily armored cruiser would have no choice but to crash if it was hit by such concentrated fire, but for the Gray Goo mothership, this was not enough.

Far from enough.

The Valkyrie-class battleship has top-level defense of void shield + psychic shield + dark matter deflector shield + zero-element armor. As Russell's personal secretary, the Gray Goo mothership enjoys much higher treatment than the Valkyrie.

The STC traded with the Adeptus Mechanicus, the psychic technology sorted out from the Ark World of Fordlan, the Necrontyr technology reverse-engineered from the Death Scythe battleship and the wreckage of the pyramid... As long as it is something that Russell owns, Grey Wind has the right to use it at will. She has the highest authority to access all confidential files.

Cutting-edge technologies from various races gathered in Grey Wind's database, and nano-machines had infinite creativity. To this day, even Russell couldn't tell what kind of defense she used to block the giant stone's concentrated fire attack.

When the offensive finally died down, the rock fell silent, literally silent.

In the Stonehenge Monastery, the technicians in various facilities were as anxious as ants on a hot pan, and Russell knew what they were anxious about.

"Gray Wind is not someone who just defends herself. She is not the type to not fight back after getting hit..."

Russell looked around. A large number of melted ship wreckage were floating around the giant stone monastery that was the size of a small satellite. The exposed platinum keels were dragging fragments of the hull floating in the void. These were all ships shot down by the Gray Goo mothership.

It was just a defensive counterattack, and the Dark Angels' home fleet left at the Boulder was almost completely wiped out.

"I just used the energy arc main cannon to successfully overload and paralyze the energy system inside the boulder. Now they can't attack us." Gray Wind reported.

"Okay, take Miraak with you and let's go." Russell said, preparing to leave.

"Hey? Are we going up now?" Gray Wind was a little worried: "I only temporarily paralyzed the energy system of the boulder, not permanently destroyed it. As long as the repairs are done in time, the fortress can be restarted within 40 minutes. By then, it will be full of threats again..."

To be honest, the firepower of the Stone Monastery was actually very strong, but it was caught off guard by Grey Wind and was paralyzed before it could even open fire.

"Don't use your efficiency to predict the Empire." Russell smiled and touched her head. "The efficiency of the Empire Department in repairing large machinery is very slow. It is normal for it to be ten or eight years slower than the automated maintenance of artificial intelligence."

This is still a conservative estimate. The mountain formation on Mars could even be built over several centuries.

"Oh……"

Gray Wind was shocked. Gray Wind was often shocked. Gray Wind was numb from the shock.

Booster number is leaking! Urgent repair is required! I repeat! Booster number needs repair!"

"The energy system has been paralyzed. Prepare to activate the backup... Where is the backup core? Damn! Where is the backup core?!"

"Got it! We can temporarily disconnect the independent power supply of the Thinker Array to provide energy for the maintenance equipment..."

"What the hell are you doing! That Cogito controls the security of the armory! You're crazy!"

When Russell finally brought Grey Wind to the Stone Monastery, no one in the chaotic monastery even noticed his arrival.
