Travel to Warhammer 40K with Grey Wind

Today, this rubble belt serves as the first line of defense against Chaos invasion.

The Imperial Navy's fleet was docked above the largest rocky asteroid, deploying troops downwards. The soldiers of the Astra Militarum stood on the graves of the past, determined to fight for a future with the ray rifles in their hands.

In the distance, purple-red waves are rushing towards us.

As the title says, I'm going to sleep now and will check tomorrow morning to see if I've passed.

Chapter 225 The Pride of the Emperor

When the Eye of Terror sheds a tear, it becomes a wave of chaos sweeping across the starry sky.

At the forefront of the Chaos wave, the spearhead of the attack was a Chaos fleet branded with twisted runes, flying blasphemous flags, and consisting of approximately 400 mutant warships of various sizes.

The beliefs of this fleet were not consistent. Some believed in the Father, some followed the Blood God, and there were a few followers of Tzeentch mixed in, giving it a strong sense of patchwork. The largest of them was a huge warship branded with a golden claw-wing logo and flying the flag of Slaanesh.

The mortal soldiers on the asteroid base and the logistical sailors in the naval fleet were all shocked by the magnificence and blasphemy of this giant ship, but apart from shock, there was nothing else.

They were just ordinary Imperial soldiers, who could not even recognize a few large characters except for the weapon operation manual. Naturally, they could not recognize that this beautiful and twisted giant ship was the flagship of the once great and proud Third Legion, "The Emperor's Children".

The Glorious Queen-class battleship - "Emperor's Pride".

The flagship of the defending Krenna fleet is an armed heavy cruiser converted from a Mars-class cruiser. The entire fleet consists of 128 combat ships of different specifications. Although some armed merchant ships have been temporarily recruited and supplemented, the current number of ships still has not exceeded 200.

Whether it is the number of warships, fleet composition, or flagship specifications, the Krenna fleet is at an absolute disadvantage in every aspect.

And most importantly, the armed forces of the Krona Defense Forces are almost entirely composed of mortal soldiers, but there are many corrupted Chaos Astartes warbands among the Chaos Spikes.

The Emperor's Children of the 3rd Legion were eager to try in the cabin of the Emperor's Pride. They could not wait any longer.

The rolling waves are coming, ready to swallow up this tiny galaxy in one fell swoop.

On the highest waves of the Chaos Tide, a tall humanoid monster with four arms, dragging a pink and purple slimy snake tail, entwined on the crawling bridge of the Emperor's Pride.

It lazily opened its pair of charming eyes that looked like a spell, and stared at Clentalina who was getting closer and closer.

"Father, we are almost there." A handsome silver-haired Space Marine wearing purple power armor quickly walked to the side of the four-armed snake-man monster and bowed respectfully.

His voice contained very complex emotions, including admiration, respect, fear, attachment... and an extremely strong possessiveness.

The four-armed snake man didn't care at all about his offspring's coveting of his body. On the contrary, he quite enjoyed the feeling of being deeply loved.

He is the Phoenix of the Imperium, the Man of Light, the Emperor's proudest son... and the most beautiful Daemon Prince of Slaanesh. Fulgrim.

"There's no need to use such a lame excuse to approach me, Fernan." Fulgrim's face was breathtakingly beautiful, and his eyes, dotted with purple-gold scales at the corners, revealed infinite charm.

Its tall, flexible snake body slowly bent down, and its pale hands with sharp claws gently held the face of the Emperor's son named Fernan, and it held him in its arms with its remaining two arms.

Its long, forked tongue was like a pink two-headed snake that had just hatched from an eggshell. Its saliva-covered body squirmed into Fernan's mouth and slid into his throat with a slight twist.

"Chirp~"

Fernan's body collapsed as if poisoned, his flesh and bones melting into Fulgrim's arms, as if the power armor contained not a powerful Space Marine, but a pool of mud.

Fulgrim's tail swayed gently, and the two-headed snakes entangled with each other, greedily absorbing all kinds of extreme emotions from their offspring.

When it finally let go of its grip with satisfaction, Fernan's ribs and cervical vertebrae were broken.

Fulgrim pulled his hands out of Fernan's chest and kissed the blood on his palms with a cold face.

Its brows were furrowed, without any trace of the trance and satisfaction after the wet kiss, because Fulgrim had not yet enjoyed himself, and his emotions had only just been aroused.

A humanoid monster covered in blue-purple bird feathers, with a scarlet eyeball at the base of each feather, stepped onto the bridge of the Emperor's Pride uninvited, interrupting Fulgrim's good deeds.

"Why do you come to me, Ask the Drowned, the henchman of the Lord of Change?" Fulgrim's voice was filled with anger, but he did not do anything to the monster.

The humanoid monster known as Ask the Drowned bent slightly and bowed politely to Fulgrim, saying, "I am here to save your life."

"Hmph—" Fulgrim snorted disdainfully. "Lewd creature, I will give you a chance to reconsider your words out of my mercy."

"I say, Lord of the Third Legion, there is an abyss of nothingness ahead of you." The Drowned Ask said, "This dark expedition is doomed to fail. The Lord of Change has already given us an oracle. Don't go any further, Fulgrim. Salisi is leading you to an abyss of horror that is more indescribable than death..."

As soon as the pronunciation of the last word fell, the drowned Yask disappeared into the raging waves of chaos, leaving only a handful of bird feathers and a pool of transparent snake venom where it originally stood.

"Slippery than a mouse." Fulgrim looked angry, his sharp nails piercing into his ears, blood flowing into the gaps between his fingers.

This is how Tzeentch's demons behave. What these birdmen say is always true and false, and even they can't tell which one to believe. Therefore, getting Tzeentch's advice is not a good thing. Instead, it will make people suspicious and afraid to act rashly.

But so what... Fulgrim did not get angry but laughed instead, and with his other bloody hand he pushed the hair that fell on his forehead behind his ears, then he bent down and picked up Fernan's dying body.

The pink two-headed snake slowly crawled over the shattered ceramic armor on Fernan's chest and crawled into his chest cavity, using its forked snake body to gently stroke the beating heart that was pierced by his ribs.

In front of the Emperor's Pride, the rubble belt outside Klentalina can be seen.

On the asteroid embedded in the rubble belt, warriors are standing ready for battle.

During the long exploration and excavation process over the past thousands of years, the seven asteroids in the Gravel Belt have been intensively developed by the Mechanicus who intend to monopolize the mining rights in the Gravel Belt. They have been transformed into space military bases with terrifying firepower, using the power of the Mecha God to deter any speculators who attempt to steal the heritage of the Golden Age.

Today, these space bases are the only defensive fortifications that the Krona Defense Force can rely on.

When the war was about to break out, a light speedboat with thin armor and no shield leisurely passed over the largest asteroid base No. 1, passed through the muzzle of the Krenna fleet's macro cannon, and approached the flagship in the middle of the Krenna fleet.

No one noticed the speedboat, as if it were invisible.

Russell hummed a song from his hometown and drove the speedboat to the hangar of the flagship heavy cruiser "Silesian Wind" - all the hangar doors of the entire Krenna fleet remained half-open or fully open.

He moved through the heavily armed cabin corridor as if no one was around, and no one heard the sound of his heels hitting the floor.

His steps were steady and decisive, with a strong sense of purpose.

Because in Russell's eyes at this moment, countless thin threads of fate intertwined with each other, appearing and disappearing under the sweeping waves of chaos - this is the fate of the mortal soldiers whose lives are as thin as paper, and they will die quickly in the next battle, like seedlings blown down by the wind.

There were also many colorful threads emitting ominous auras lingering around the Krona fleet and the asteroid base, like chains that were firmly imprisoning them and dragging them into death - they were Chaos Space Marines from different warbands, and they would launch a devastating boarding attack on the Krona Defense Force with their powerful forces.

Finally, a bright thread with an enchanting pink-purple aura passed through the chaotic waves and landed on the flagship of the Krenna fleet, the Silesian Wind.

"It seems that a very lucky person will jump onto this ship... Who could it be?" Russell was a little curious.

Harmony version.

Chapter 226 A Phoenix Comes from the West

The heavy cruiser Silesian Wind was clustered in the middle of the Krenna fleet.

The Imperial Navy's combat tradition is to deploy a fleet in three parts: front, middle, and rear. Small and light frigates or light cruisers serve as the assault vanguard, while auxiliary and logistics ships are at the rear, surrounded by the main ships and fleet flagships in the middle of the formation.

Normally, these core ships are the real main force of a naval fleet. Even in the most special circumstances, to serve as the captain of a main ship, one must at least have the rank of lieutenant general, and to serve as a fleet commander, one must hold the golden emblem of admiral.

The Krenna fleet anchored above Space Base No. 1 was deployed strictly according to this formation. The heavy-armored flagship "Silesian Wind" where the fleet commander, Admiral Genevia Limsella, was stationed in the center of the fleet.

But the formation of the vanguard fleet leading the chaos wave is not like this. Their flagship "Pride of the Emperor" is at the forefront of the fleet, like a proud phoenix leading hundreds of birds behind it, flapping its wings across the starry sky.

Russell carried a silver-gray long knife in one hand and walked along the corridor to the macro cannon operating room. He saw that the calves of several operators were twitching slightly.

"He has a good mental state. He didn't even break down and cry in such a situation." Russell nodded approvingly, and then thought: "It may also be that the pre-war mobilization was quite powerful..."

Outside the porthole, the ominous fleet blessed by Chaos was already approaching.

An Imperial warship blessed by Chaos is still an Imperial warship. Even the Primarch's flagship, the Queen of Glory, cannot enforce the law across star systems like a heavy artillery ship equipped with a crested bow, so a naval battle often begins at close range.

With the roar of the engines, the Krenna fleet rushed towards the Chaos Spike. But Admiral Genevia did not order the Engine Prophet to overclock the plasma core to achieve the maximum speed to crash into it as she had done in other battles before.

The strength between the enemy and us is too disparate. This is not a regular naval battle. The Krenna fleet can only have a chance to deal with the enemy by relying on the geographical advantages and the firepower of the asteroid military base in the rubble belt.

It turns out that Geneve's judgment was correct... Well, such an obvious thing doesn't need to be proven.

The loud noise of the macro cannon could not be heard in the vacuum, and the sailors in the cabin could not feel the violent vibration of the void shield when it was attacked. The two fleets thus began the first wave of silent confrontation, or a one-sided crushing.

The blazing plasma and laser arrays wove a bright web of fire above Space Base No. 1, but it was easily torn apart by the overwhelming power of the Queen of Glory.

The high-swirling plasma shot out from the nova cannon, along with countless macrocannon shells and light spears, smashed into the void shield of the Emperor's Pride like a meteor shower, or like throwing a handful of pebbles into a calm lake, creating large and chaotic ripples.

However, the spilled stones sank to the bottom, but the surface of the lake did not break.

Faced with the powerful void shield of the Queen of Glory-class battleship, the firepower of the Krenna fleet was too poor and it couldn't even break through the defense.

Faced with this situation, one of the options for the Space Marines is to send a boarding force with boarding torpedoes to bypass the void shield and directly attack the hull of the enemy ship, but Genevea cannot do that at the moment.

Even for the most elite Astartes, boarding a Chaos warship is a life-or-death assault, not to mention that the only mortal armed forces at their disposal are the Imperial Guard.

In the command room of the Silesian Wind, Geneve gritted her teeth and watched the formation of the Krenna fleet being broken by the Emperor's Pride. The temporarily recruited armed merchant ships were easily sunk because they had no void shields, and they couldn't even fire a single shot. Even the regular navy warships equipped with void shields could not withstand the saturation attack from the Chaos Spike. The organization of the Krenna fleet was rapidly reduced at a desperate speed.

After just one brief battle, the number of available ships in the Krenna fleet was reduced to less than 50.

Immediately afterwards, the main ships that did not sink in the first round of fighting were boarded by the Chaos war gang.

Generally speaking, there are two ways of fighting in space boarding.

One is to penetrate the hull of the enemy ship with boarding torpedoes and drop troops in through the breach. The attackers and defenders will then engage in space street fighting in the cabins and corridors of the interstellar battleship, fighting their way out of important areas such as the command center or engine compartment.

The second is for one's own warship to physically approach the enemy ship and teleport troops directly into the enemy ship through the teleportation device - this operation is usually carried out by Space Marine veterans wearing Terminator armor.

This is because the Terminator's armor has a built-in teleportation function, and also because entering the field by teleportation is actually not very stable. If the operation is not done properly, you may get stuck in the wall. If you are unlucky, you will directly pass through the reactor and die on the spot.

Due to the lack of a stable supply of armaments from the Forge World, the Chaos Warbands are generally in a bad financial situation. Every set of expensive Terminator Armor they wear is one less set, so boarding attacks on the main ships of the Krenna Fleet are mostly carried out by breaking through the armor in the conventional way.

Below the entangled fleets, Asteroid Base No. 1 continued to spit missile fire at the twisted Chaos warships. The rubble belt of Krontalina has been carefully managed by the Adeptus Mechanicus for many years. The firepower provided by this asteroid base alone far exceeds that of the entire Kronalina fleet. Of the seven Chaos warships sunk since the start of the war, four were the result of the battle of Space Base No. 7.

Every Chaos warband was fully aware of the threat and importance of this huge war facility, so after the Emperor's Pride led the way in breaking up the Krenna fleet, only the flagship "Silesia Wind" and the crucial Asteroid Base No. 1 were given the special privilege of being teleported into the face by the Terminator Guard. Fierce fighting broke out both inside the cabin and on the surface of the asteroid.

Russell closed his eyes and used his spirit to feel the vibration of the ship and the fearless shouts of tens of thousands of mortal soldiers on the asteroid who rushed forward one after another.

Being on the battlefield, Russell truly realized what kind of general Admiral Genevia Limsella was.

The battle between the Silesian Wind and the Asteroid Base No. 1 could not even be called a battle, but rather a one-sided massacre.

The fallen Space Marines wearing Terminator armor and blessed by Chaos slaughtered the mortal soldiers who surged towards them like a wave with overwhelming strength. The followers of the Blood God piled up a mountain of skulls with the severed heads; the warriors who believed in the Prince of Pleasure used the pain of mortals to seek the strongest spiritual experience and sensory stimulation; the corrupted poisonous fog of Nurgle spread in the cabin...

The soldiers who witnessed the inhumane cruelty showed widespread cowardice, but very few of them retreated.

Because as early as the defense stage before the war, Genevea deliberately deployed the mortal troops recruited from Klentalina to the Asteroid Base No. 1 and the Silesian Wind, the two of which are the most important.

The spiritual factors that drove the soldiers to fight to the death included fear of the Empire, loyalty to the Emperor, fanaticism of faith... but the most important thing was Klentalina behind them.

The natives of Clentalina had more reason and motivation than any other soldiers to defend their hometown, and they knew exactly what they were fighting and why they were dying.

The slogan they shouted as they charged was not "For the Emperor!", but "For our homeland!!"

Being able to use people's hearts well is a quality that an excellent general should possess.

Russell nodded slightly while holding the Huntress's Blade, preparing to cast a teleportation spell to the meat-mincing battlefield in the power cabin.
