Travel to Warhammer 40K with Grey Wind

"And I found a much better supply of resources," Russell said.

"That's a miniature galaxy..." Gray Wind muttered to himself, his expression a little dazed.

Suddenly, she jumped up, hugged Russell's neck with both hands, and hung on it. She kissed him on the side of his face with her soft lips: "The Marshal is a genius!"

"The genius is belligerent party C." Russell wiped the saliva from his face and wondered if there were nanorobots in Gray Wind's saliva.

That was so exciting.

"Anyway, you should prepare to build the main components of the sentinel array and the strategic command center as soon as possible. The construction sites of these two giant structures are both inside the miniature galaxy, and we need to wait until the Junlin Taixu is officially completed before we can start assembling them." Russell said, "It will be very hard for you during this period. I have to go out and investigate something."

Gray Wind bit Russell's earlobe gently, then let go and fell back to the ground. "What is it that requires you to investigate in person?"

Russell thought about it, then replied, "I don't know!"

He really didn't know. Psychic premonitions were too vague, forcing countless prophets and seers to become riddlers. Even someone as strong as Magnus could only vaguely sense that this was something that shouldn't have happened. The lover Lupanas only said that Slaanesh had been robbed of his treasure by a certain being.

"Since this matter is related to Slaanesh, whether we have any clues or not, let's go to the Eye of Terror first..." Russell sighed. How can we investigate something without any clues?

After saying goodbye to Grey Wind, Russell left the Tranquil Black Realm and went to find the Fordlan Biological Ark.

He had to ask Coroniai for some well-trained Eldar banshees, which would be useful next.

Chapter 254: Rivagaron

As the number of connected star systems increases, the main gate of Faya is busier than ever. It takes about two hours to queue from Faya to the southern star belt of the Far East Sector - about one month to one hundred years faster than traditional warp jumps.

Fortunately, Russell does not have to queue up. He is the first seat of the Federal Senate and has the privilege of priority access to the entire stargate network.

Perhaps because of the huge size of the Pot of Greed, or perhaps because of the unusual destination of this giant ship, the traffic controller at the Emperor's Idol Fingertip Base could not help but take a few more glances at the bright tail flame of the Titan.

"Going to the Iris sector... How rare."

The Iris sector is located in the southern part of the Nightmare Constellation's Great Void. This is the first time since he started working that he has seen ships other than the Truth Order's survey ships and reconnaissance boats heading to the southern star belt.

This is related to the deployment of the Far East Star Region:

In the north of the Great Void, the Northern Star Belt, which occupies 1/3 of the Far East, was the first star region to be integrated and the first to complete industrial recovery. The management system here can be considered perfect, and currently most of the industrial production capacity of the Order of Truth is concentrated here; therefore, of all the three batches of ships produced by the giant shipyard so far, only the first batch was partially sold to Governor Banhart of Klenna, and the remaining second and third batches were reorganized into a fleet, patrolling the Northern Star Belt to maintain law and order, driving away smugglers who take advantage of the situation, and hunting down alien pirates who take advantage of the opportunities.

北部星带巡逻舰队共有19艘主力艦、37艘重巡、23艘轻巡、59艘飞弹驱逐舰、97艘护航舰/护卫舰，雷击舰另编。

But the patrol range of these two fleets was limited to the northern star belt, and the southern part of the Great Void was covered by a huge scarlet web woven by a massive swarm of insects. There, even the cosmic background itself showed a sickly crimson color, and the planets were entangled and surrounded by the tentacles of biological motherships, just like the gluttonous hell in mythology.

The common name for the southern star belt among the federal people is "Scarlet Purgatory".

There was a reason why Russell ordered Coroni'ai to disperse all the Zerg creatures in the southern star belt for garrison. The battle zone between the Necrons and the Green Orcs was located in the southwest of the Far East star region, and it required a strong enough force to control the situation.

This is also the reason why he started industrial recovery in the northern star belt first, because the south might become a battlefield at any time.

"Master, why do you have time to come to me alone today?"

The Pot of Greed arrived at the Iris sector. Coroniai pricked up her ears and circled around Russell, who had just boarded the Bio-Ark, humming and whining. Her long tail happily coiled into circles, and the nerve needles at the end filled with aphrodisiacs waved excitedly.

The reason why it is called "surrounded" is because Coronia now controls several bodies at the same time. These bodies look basically the same, with pointed ears standing up high and delicate facial features. There are only slight differences such as body proportions and body fat percentage, eye color, and the presence or absence of beauty moles. This is the result of it constantly fine-tuning and iterating according to the owner's preferences.

The psychic network spread out in the surroundings, and Coronie smiled happily: "Gray Wind didn't come with me? Has the master finally come to his senses? Has he secretly come to me to reproduce? Which body should I use to combine with the master... or all of them?"

What a sin... Russell took a deep breath, and the sweet scent of Coronie filled his nose: "Stop being in heat, and stop secreting pheromones and mucus. I have something serious to tell you."

"Serious business..." Coronie reluctantly let the bodies settle down and hesitantly surrounded Russell: "What is it?"

"I need some help from you." Russell glanced at the brainworm floating in the air in the distance and said, "With your psychic talent, you should have sensed the changes that happened in the subspace not long ago."

Koronia nodded in unison: "I felt it. I felt as if there was a towering tree growing wildly in the sea of ​​souls, with its dark roots entwined on the seabed and piercing through the curtain... At that moment, I felt very depressed and irritated, as if something had happened that absolutely shouldn't have happened."

"As expected..." Russell said in a concentrated voice, "This matter has something to do with Slaanesh. I'm going to the Eye of Terror. Give me an elite Eldar Ranger brigade."

"As you wish, master." Coroniai responded promptly with a smile on her face.

Russell was a little surprised: "Why do you seem to be completely fearless?"

"Because the master is here." The two Coronies hugged Russell's shoulders, one on each side, and rubbed their beautiful faces against Russell's cheeks. "No matter how time and space change, my soul is always closely connected with your will, so I am not afraid."

The monsters and demons in the warp could not shake Coronia's soul in the slightest, not even the hive mind that once dominated it.

"You really trust me."

"Because I am a livestock raised by my master."

While rubbing against Russell and acting like a spoiled child, Coronie pulled out the manpower his master needed. Russell pushed away the insect mother whose mental state was becoming more and more dangerous. The water in the spirit bone altar not far away was rippling, and hundreds of tall and slender figures came in front of him and knelt on one knee.

"The entire Slaughter Cult has 311 infant servants, waiting for your orders."

Russell was relieved: "Good, let's go."

He teleported away from the Bio-Ark as if escaping, brought 311 Eldar Rangers back to the Pot of Greed, started the engine and jumped away.

If he didn't run away, Russell suspected that Coronie would be unable to resist stabbing him with the nerve needle on his tail.

"Really?" Several Coronies stood on tiptoe and looked at the gradually disappearing form of the Pot of Greed, puffing up their cheeks in resentment: "It's not like they'll eat it all..."

After leaving the Iris sector, Russell did not delay. The Pot of Greed drove straight to the star gate leading to the Krona sector. Among the star sectors around the Eye of Terror, Krona was the only one he was most familiar with, and the first stop of this trip was there. It was a good opportunity to go to Governor Banhart on the way to urge the payment of the goods.

On the way to the star gate, Russell took the time to familiarize himself with the Eldar Rangers he got from Coroniai.

The killing cult of "Infant Servant", all members are conceived and produced by the Tree of Life in the center of the Bio-Ark. They are connected to the scarlet network of the Zerg at birth, develop psychic powers, believe in the Tree of Life that gave birth to them, and regard the Life-Shaping Queen as the mistress of the species.

They usually follow the Zerg biological fleet in combat. Before the Coroniai make a full-scale landing on a planet, they always send out infant spirit servants who are good at concealment and mobility to conduct in-situ reconnaissance, assassinate high-ranking figures, or destroy important facilities to clear obstacles for the subsequent full-scale invasion.

The fact that Coronia was able to clear the northern part of the Great Void in a short period of time and enable the industrial recovery of the northern star belt to proceed so quickly was largely due to the individual quality of the Eldar soldiers.

The killing cult in front of Russell was selected by Coronie and divided into three ranger teams. Above the team leaders were a cult leader and an adjutant in charge.

"What's your name?" Russell raised his arms and asked the Yingling Priest who was kneeling in front of him.

"Ravagaren, Master, my name is -Ravagaren." She answered.

Chapter 255 Silent Underground Street

The leader of the Slaughter Cult is named Revagaren, and his lieutenant is named Revatien. They are twin sisters conceived from the same uterus. Coronia even specially connected an umbilical cord to that uterus.

...By the way, which one is the older sister and which one is the younger sister?

Russell tried to ask Revagaren this question, and the answer was that they themselves didn't know. Because the process of nurturing life in the Tree of Life is highly automated, the twins did not have a normal production order and were born at the same time.

Then this question is quite vague. I wonder if Revagallen and Revatien usually fight over issues like who is the older sister and who is the younger sister.

But the Eldar warriors trained by Coroniai shouldn’t be so naive, right…right?

In the end, Russell still couldn't muster up the courage to ask Revagaren this question in person. It was too low-class for the high-ranking Star-Bullet who nurtured their mistress of faith to be interested in gossip between sisters.

You might be considered a weird person.

Tormented by intense curiosity all the way, the Pot of Greed passed through the star gate and arrived at the Krenna sector - the Pluto Star.

The giant stone fortress that once docked in the planet's orbit has long gone, and now there is only one satellite left of the planet. Under the dark red dust cloud on the surface of the planet is a fragile land with holes in it. Among the countless dense mines and industrial furnaces, there are still scars of war left by the war gangs under the command of Chaos Warmaster Abaddon.

The situation at that time... Forget about the Dark Angels, but Russell remembered that this planet was controlled by the Mechanicus, and it was destroyed like this.

"The Oil Man's ground battle was a mess." Russell couldn't help but sigh. However, he knew that the Star Gate of the Pluto Star had not been completed at that time, and the reason why he couldn't defend the Pluto Star was probably because the Oil Man deployed most of his manpower at the Star Gate.

It is not necessarily a deployment. As far as Russell knows, almost all Mechanicus sages regard the construction of stargates as a sacred thing. They believe that the stargate network connects countless galaxies while also connecting themselves to the God of All Machines. Countless people are vying to participate in the project without even asking for salary, and fighting for a chance to work for free.

The high-ranking priests who were arrogant and looked down on even the planetary governors in their daily lives were swinging the sacred Ohm Messiah Axe in the forge of the Mechanicus, fighting passionately, causing electricity to fly and gears to fly. In the end, they used their lifelong connections to barely squeeze in.

Therefore, Russell really had no doubt that the Mechanicus would transfer all of the main defensive forces of the Pluto to protect the satellite gate. They were capable of doing such a thing.

So in a sense, Abaddon was lucky to have picked up an opportunity: after the Dark Angels were crippled by Grey Wind and then entangled by Fulgrim, the main force was away because the Oil Man was repairing the stargate. Our invincible Chaos Warmaster happened to be driving the wedding ship with the Black Legion, and the mighty army aggressively arrived at the Stargate and then... broke into an empty gate.

"Abaddon is so lucky." Revatien sighed.

"This must be the child of destiny, right?" Rivagaren echoed.

"Luck is also a part of strength." Russell said, clapping his hands gently, "Okay, get ready. We won't stop at the Pluto Star this time. We'll go directly to Clentalina."

Rivagaren was a little confused: "But you just activated the jump engine of this ship once, and it will take about 200 standard Terran days to cool down."

Not all warships can reset their cooldowns by disassembling and reassembling themselves like the Grey Goo Mothership, and there is no stargate leading directly to Klentalina.

"Let's go through the subspace," said Russell.

Thanks to the huge size of the Titan ship, the Pot of Greed has enough space to accommodate two superluminal modes, the jump engine and the subspace engine, which can be used alternately.

However, as soon as Russell said this, he saw that both Revatien and Revagallen opened their eyes wide at the same time.

"I know you have an instinctive resistance to subspace navigation, but relax and be at ease. At least at this stage, I can walk sideways in the Sea of ​​Souls." Russell smiled and ordered the battleship AI to control the Pot of Greed to go to Mandeville Point in the star system where Pluto is located.

Starting the engine, tearing the veil apart, the Pot of Greed sailed into the Sea of ​​Souls.

By the time the Titan emerged from the turbulent etheric turbulence, Revatien could already see the rubble belt outside Klentalina with his naked eyes.

"Here we are."

The Pot of Greed easily avoided the patrol route of the Krenna fleet and arrived at the Klentalina orbit. Benhart Medius's cruise ship had been waiting in the dock for a long time.

Before leaving, Russell informed Banhart in advance that he was coming. Banhart also knew that Russell did not like to show off but valued efficiency, so there was no grand welcome party or cumbersome etiquette. The two of them got straight to the point.

After parking the boat and going down to the surface of the planet, Benhart dismissed all the waiters and walked with Russell, one after the other, in a secret corridor deep in the hive. The crisp sound of metal heels hitting the ground echoed in the deep corridor.

"It's been a long time since we last met. Mr. Russell's style is still as simple as before." As they walked, Banhart found a topic to compliment his character.

Although these were flattering words, Banhart did not feel it was against his will. Russell's style was indeed unique. When he first came to Clentalina, he did not bring any waiters with him and even refused the 14-day tour to the Emerald Star that Banhart had arranged for him.

Now, on his second visit to Krona, Russell was still alone.

I guess Mr. Russell must be very powerful, otherwise how could he be entrusted with such an important task by the mysterious Star-Bombarder.

"You don't have to flatter me so much. With your intelligence, you should know that not everyone likes to be praised. For some people, trying hard to please them will only cause annoyance. It is better to use your energy to do what you should do." Russell's voice mixed with the crisp footsteps, sounding deep and ethereal.

"You're right." Benhart nodded and smiled. "Instead of using roundabout social skills to win people's hearts, it's better to maintain a cooperative relationship with real interests."

The atmosphere between the two of them fell silent again, with only the sound of scattered footsteps echoing in the winding corridor.

Banhart led Russell all the way into the depths of the hive city. The winding passages crisscrossed and twisted, and from time to time they had to pass through vertical shafts to jump between the upper nest, the middle nest, and even the lower and bottom nests. It was like a huge spider web overlapping each other.

Obviously, Banhart deliberately took a detour. He was taking Russell to a secret place. He didn't want the exact location of that place to be leaked, even to the messenger of the Star Bullet.

About 45 minutes of silence passed, and this long hike was finally about to reach its end. Along the way, we would occasionally encounter some masked figures in black robes walking hurriedly, either alone or in groups of two or three.

The people coming and going were always in a hurry without saying anything, walking quickly and silently through the spider webs, but Russell's road had come to an end.

There is a dead end ahead.

"The passage we just walked through is actually an ancient relic from the Golden Age."
