Geneve leaned over, kissed Russell's earlobe, turned around and ran quickly into the cabin.
Russell sighed: "It seems that the open attitude of the Imperial Navy is not without reason...?"
In front of the bridge, tears from the Eye of Terror slowly fell.
Russell's expression was calm, as countless threads lingered, tangled, and broke before his eyes... forming a knot, and then he smiled faintly.
"Come on, Chaos. If you don't want to become food for the Boundary Breakers, you must fight back."
Chapter 223: Koroni's Mumbling
As the saying goes, everyone learns things at different times and everyone has his or her own expertise. Tuqiucha is indeed the artifact left behind by the "Ancient Saints", the pinnacle of psychic energy in the physical universe. The subspace positioning and navigation that humans need to rely on the Navigator Family and the Star Torch is as easy as instinct for Tuqiucha, and it is accurate and efficient.
After Russell's training, the artifact became extremely obedient and did not resist the manipulation of the Gray Gu mothership at all. With the help of Tuchucha's power, Gray Wind successfully returned to Faya.
A look at the time revealed that Grey Wind arrived at Faya at the same second that she tore open the rift and entered the warp.
Faster than a jump drive, more accurate than a slingshot, the efficiency of using Tuchucha for interstellar travel is enough to beat all the faster-than-light technologies in Russell's hands.
"Subspace navigation is so convenient, no wonder humans in this universe haven't developed decent physical means of superluminal travel..." Gray Wind stared at the faint halo surrounding Tuchucha and gained a further understanding of the embarrassing current situation of the Human Empire.
Humanity had such a convenient means of interstellar travel during the golden age of early interstellar exploration, so it focused its energy on climbing the ascension technology tree and was unable to develop new and more stable physical superluminal means from scratch.
This is a matter of course, just as if the productivity of agricultural civilization is too strong, it will lead to a lack of motivation for society to develop industry.
Humans in the Golden Age had always relied on the warp to communicate with various colonies. At that time, human technology developed rapidly and civilization prospered to a great extent. It was not until the warp storm swept across the galaxy and the warp engine failed that the hidden instability of the Sea of Souls and the lack of stable physical superluminal means became apparent.
If you want to climb the physical superluminal technology tree again from the beginning, you will have to depend on Tzeentch's mood.
“Humanity has finally reaped the fruits of its own labor…” Gray Wind sighed and turned his gaze away from Tuchucha.
Although she sighed, she quickly composed herself and followed Russell's orders to leave Faya through the L-Gate, crossed the Nightmare Void, and headed for the northern star belt of the Far East star field.
In the capital star system "Aishalin" of the Elinxia star sector, Grey Wind found Coroni'ai who was clearing out the remaining aliens.
Koroni reported his work to Grey Wind:
"With the help of the Colossus weapons equipped with the Nano Plague, the integration work of the northern star belt has been basically completed during this period. Only a few bandits remain to be eliminated, but that is a slow and laborious public security war, which will take time to slowly eliminate."
Gray Wind nodded in understanding.
In the process of integrating the northern star belt, the Hive Fleet of Coronia devoured a large number of colonized planets completely occupied by aliens in the name of cleansing, digesting a huge amount of biomass. The size of the fleet of the swarm creatures has now expanded to an incredible level.
For the powerful insect swarm, it is not difficult to eliminate large groups of enemies, but it is difficult to wipe out small groups of bandits.
The galaxy is too big and the fleets are too small.
"The Northern Star Belt only occupies less than 1/3 of the territory of the entire Far East Star Region. In other words, about 1/3 of the integration work of the Far East Star Region has been completed. In addition, the population migration and planetary recovery in the Northern Star Belt have been completed. The first batch of warships in the giant dock will soon be shipped. This area will soon have preliminary self-defense capabilities..."
Gray Wind pinched his chin and summarized the current situation. He said to the Queen, "After finishing the work at hand, Koroni, you should gather all the Hive Fleets and move them to the southern star belt. That is where the most heavy troops are needed right now."
The expedition route of the 13th Expeditionary Fleet is in the southwest, and a large number of greenskins are also migrating in that direction, and are about to collide with the tomb world of the Sotk Dynasty and the Freeman Organization of the Necrons.
The war between the Orks and the Necrons could break out at any time. The southern star belt, which has not yet been integrated, is located on the edge of the battlefield and needs the protection of the Zerg fleet.
"I understand. I will immediately summon all the Zerg tentacles and head to the southern star belt." Coroniai accepted the order.
But after accepting the task, the Life-Shaping Queen did not rush to leave. Instead, she looked at Gray Wind with expectant eyes, and her tail circled around in a tangled circle.
"Uh...what's wrong with you?" Huifeng was a little confused.
Koroni was a little confused: "Gray Wind, didn't you go out with the master? Now you are back, where is the master?"
Gray Wind suddenly realized.
Russell once promised Coronie that he would give it his own genetic sequence as a reward after the integration work of the northern star belt was completed, but Russell was now in the Krenna sector handling official business, and Grey Wind could not use Tuchucha to bring him back immediately.
"Wait, the Marshal didn't ask me to come back first because of this, right..." Looking at Koronia's hesitant eyes, Huifeng felt like he had fallen into a pit.
This doubt only lasted for a moment, and Huifeng discovered that the marshal had already prepared a response plan for him.
"The Marshal is still in the Krenna sector and won't be back for a while." Gray Wind said, comforting the dejected Coronie: "But I didn't come back empty-handed. I brought back the gift that the Marshal gave you."
"Gift?" Coronie was a little confused. Was it a tissue sample from the master?
That would work...but the Queen of Insects would rather absorb the host's genetic genes in other ways.
While Coroniai was still in doubt, Gray Wind deftly moved an ancient mechanical artifact consisting of two upper and lower rings and a cylindrical base out of the Gray Gu mothership.
"Clang clang--Tuqiucha! This is the gift the marshal gave you."
"Tuchucha?" Koroni blinked.
Unlike Grey Wind, the Queen of the Zerg possesses powerful psychic talents and extreme sensitivity to the Warp. Just by appearing in front of it, it could vaguely see the essence of "Tuchucha".
Under Koroni's puzzled gaze, Grey Wind introduced to it the nature and function of Tuchucha.
In short, the Marshal hopes to install the Tuchucha in the core of the 'Fodora' biological ark. This is the most advanced subspace engine in the galaxy, made by the ancient saints. Through the Tuchucha, you can alleviate the problem of the lack of mobility of the Zerg to the greatest extent. "Grey Wind said.
Yes, Russell went to Krona, partly to discuss arms sales with Banhart Medius, but mainly to get Tuchucha for Coronie.
Although the Zerg Hive Fleet has warp drives as a means of superluminal travel and stargates to assist in movement, it is still too slow compared to jump drives. And due to the objective strength of the chitinous carapace, the Zerg's conventional sub-light speed is still far inferior to that of the steel giant ships.
The built-in Tuchucha can greatly improve this embarrassing situation.
If nothing else, at least the time required for the biological ark to migrate from the northern star belt to the southern star belt will be shortened by at least half. The L-star gate has a limit on the number of passages.
"Okay..." Coroniai stretched out his tentacles with some hesitation and swallowed Tuchucha into the stomach of the Fordola Bio-Ark.
This is indeed a very precious gift, the only one in the entire galaxy, and Tuchucha's function is exactly what it desperately needs, but...
"I still want the master's genes more..." Coronie muttered.
The Life-Shaping Queen raised her head and saw that Grey Wind had already run away, teleporting away.
Chapter 224 Metropolis Giant Planet
In the tense war atmosphere, the ship carrying the sector governor and the admiral quickly returned to the capital galaxy of the Krona sector: Klentalina.
This is a rich planet located on the southern edge of the Krona Sector, near the Eye of Terror.
Klentalina used to be in the central area of its own sector, but due to a subspace storm 200 years ago, 2/3 of the sector's volume was swallowed up by the expanding Eye of Terror, leaving only a Klentalina sector that was less than 1/3 of its original area.
The former capital of the star sector is now located at the axis of this "fan", and the Eye of Terror is at its doorstep.
"The Boundary Breaker penetrated the Krona sector from north to south and used the dimensional anchor to create a route to the Eye of Terror. Fortunately or unfortunately, the galaxy where Krontalina is located is located next to this route."
As Russell was thinking in his mind, the cruise ship under him had already docked at the star port. The senior commanders on the ship hurriedly got off the ship. The "Klenna Fleet", named after the garrison star zone, had already assembled outside the atmosphere of the capital planet.
Standing above Clentalina and looking south, the purple-red storm is spreading towards this side.
Russell frowned slightly and roughly understood the intention of Chaos's move.
"The closest galaxy to Klentalina is only 4 light years away in a straight line. It is called Lion Mountain-V. It is a fallen galaxy that has been nailed to a dimensional anchor by the Boundary Breaker.
The Eye of Terror is now expanding towards Klentalina in the form of a teardrop. It seems that it intends to occupy this place as a base to further attack Lion Mountain-V and cut off the route of the Boundary Breaker to the interior of the Eye of Terror..."
You have to pick the softest persimmon to pick, and for Chaos, the colonized galaxy of the human empire is obviously the softest persimmon. Taking over Klentalina will not only allow Chaos to occupy the geographical advantage, but also devour the souls and emotional energy of a large number of people to strengthen itself, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
Very good strategy, making Chaos stronger. It's just unfortunate that Russell is here.
"How could I let you kill my clients? They haven't paid yet..." Russell walked down the starport calmly.
On the capital planet Klentalina, the vast majority of workers and slaves were still working hard. They knew nothing about the changes in the starry sky. The star region government had already blocked the news of the Eye of Terror's expansion. Only a few wealthy businessmen and dignitaries with extensive channels were contacting people everywhere, preparing to flee.
They all knew how the other 2/3 of the Krona sector was lost.
In the planet's orbit, a large number of armored corps belonging to the Imperial Guard are boarding naval warships via orbital elevators and transport planes and rushing to the battlefield.
Russell was watching intently when suddenly two armed officers wearing half-shell armor came to his side and said, "The ship to the Pluto Star is ready, Master Astarte, we can set off at any time."
"I see. That's very thoughtful..." Russell smiled politely at the two non-commissioned officers: "Where is Governor Medius?"
"It is our duty. The Governor-General will not leave Clentalina," the sergeant said, "but the Governor-General's second son, His Highness Ishtar, will evacuate with you by ship. If Governor Medius unfortunately dies in the line of duty, his beloved son, Ishtar, will continue to fulfill the contract with you."
Russell nodded: "I'm doing my job well."
Although the nobles of the Human Empire are greedy, corrupt, and decadent, and do not treat civilians as human beings, things like aristocratic families defending their territory to the death and entire clans being sacrificed; planetary governors fighting to the death in the face of invasion and dying gloriously... such things are always happening one after another, which is quite magical.
All we can say is that the imperial bureaucracy is an outrageous group with extremely extreme upper and lower limits.
Led by two non-commissioned officers, Russell boarded the super-heavy strike barge prepared for evacuation.
This is a big ship converted from a Space Marine battle barge. The engine power, armor thickness and even shipboard firepower have been enhanced to the limit of this mold. There are not many people in the cabin. Most of the cabins are filled with throne coins, gems, artworks, artifacts and other valuables, and even two pieces of private collection of Governor Banhart.
On the super-heavy strike barge, Russell met Ishtar Medius, the second son of Governor Banhart.
"Sir Russell, please come here. The barge will depart soon." Ishtar Medius left the barge, came to Russell and asked him to go together.
He looked young, about 20 years old, tall, with handsome features, a pair of deep blue-purple eyes, and smooth golden hair as dazzling as the sun. He was a handsome guy who conformed to the aesthetic standards of the empire... How could Benhart be confident in handing over such an important military sales order to such a young guy?
Under Russell's curious gaze, Ishtar continued, "We are heading to the planet Pluto, where the L-Gate is located. The Dark Angels' Stone Fortress is also docked on Pluto. If Klentalina falls and the warp storm spreads, that will be our last hope..."
"Well... Actually, I just came from the Pluto." Russell kindly reminded: "There's a small problem over there. You can't count on the Dark Angels. The L-Star Gate will be completed in a few years."
Ishtar was stunned for a moment, then said, "I don't understand this, but you should get on board anyway."
Russell shook his head: "Can you prepare another boat for me? A light speedboat will do."
"There is a shortage of ships right now. Many civilian merchant ships have been temporarily requisitioned by the Krenna fleet... Won't you come with me?" Ishtar asked.
"I'm going to the front." Russell said lightly.
"That's too dangerous! Chaos..." Ishtar wanted to persuade him again, but immediately, a gentle psychic wave swept over him, and his body fell limply.
Russell shrugged and said to the two alert petty officers, "He's fine, just fell asleep temporarily. Take him to the barge."
"What about you?" The sergeant stared at Russell with a puzzled look.
"I'm going to the front line."
Russell finished the last word with a smile, and a wave of spiritual energy spread out, and his body disappeared in front of the two men. The two non-commissioned officers looked at each other in bewilderment.
The "front line" he was talking about was a rubble belt located in the outer ring of the Klentalina galaxy.
Seven irregular asteroids of varying sizes are embedded in a ring-shaped rubble belt. Although it looks inconspicuous, this rubble belt actually has a great origin.
It is said that they are all fragments of the same giant planet.
Klentalina was once an extremely prosperous human city in the Golden Age. It was a metropolitan giant planet in the galaxy that was completely covered by a group of hive spires. It was once at its peak.
Later, the Iron Man rebelled, and the once prosperous metropolitan galaxy was destroyed in the flames of war. The fragments of the shattered metropolitan giant planet drifted in space, and under the influence of the star's gravity, gradually formed this spectacular rubble belt and 7 rocky asteroids.
For thousands of years, Rogue Traders, Interstellar Explorers, and Mechanicus have been exploring and digging in the rubble belt surrounding Klentalina, searching for relics of a bygone era and well-preserved STCs.
