Travel to Warhammer 40K with Grey Wind

Although Eliwood was equal to the old man in principle, he was always subconsciously inferior to him in practice. This was because the old man worked for none other than the parent group of the Blue Blood Nobles Chapter, one of the original Astartes Legions - the Ultramarines.

The current Chapter Master of the Ultramarines, 'Harting Hermes', is a guy who looks forward to retirement every day.

"The accusation against you was initiated by the Great Sage 'Trevens', and the State Church and the Inquisition also participated. They jointly sentenced you to excommunication and treason. It was very difficult for me to save your life against all odds." Chapter Master Harding Hermes looked embarrassed: "I don't have the power to directly withdraw the charges against you. Even if the stargate has been built, I'm afraid it will take a period of actual use to verify its reliability before the Mechanicus will vindicate you."

Eliwood sighed. "You've been using the same excuse to fool me for five years, Captain."

Five years ago, he led the 13th Expeditionary Fleet, which suffered heavy losses, to escape from the pursuit of the Necrons, crossed the Damocles Gulf with difficulty, entered the Ultramar star field, and returned to the homeland of the Ultramarines.

However, when the wounded blue-blood nobles exhaustedly headed to the home planet of the Father of Genes in the hope of rest and supplies, what greeted them was not the consolation of the mother group, but the joint accusation from the Mechanicus, the Ecclesiarchy and the Inquisition.

The pedantic Great Sage Trevens could not accept the existence of the Stargate Network, and united all his connections to forcibly label the L-Stargate as an evil forbidden technology, intending to declare the 13th Expeditionary Fleet to be the pawns of Chaos. As a result, the Blue Blood Nobles Chapter was stripped of their armor and imprisoned, cut off from all contact with the outside world. Only Chapter Master Eliwood still retained an extremely limited range of freedom.

Eliwood understood that if Hatin and the Ultramarines had not come forward to protect them, they might have died on the way to the Atonement Crusade.

He also understood that behind this groundless accusation were some dignitaries who did not want to see their power weakened.

He could fully understand the difficulties of the parent group, but.

"Captain Harding, you have taken a lot of pressure by keeping us in protective captivity. I understand you, but, but... you secretly spread the news in Macragge and selected personnel for the Terra Crusade within the Ultramarines. What does that mean?"

That is clearly our responsibility...

Chapter 264: Ether Giant Worm

The questioning from the younger generation made the old captain Harding blush, but how could the thickness of a captain of a newly founded group be easily broken by the younger generation of a sub-group?

In a moment, the only trace of guilt in Harding's heart completely disappeared.

Hatin coughed lightly and said earnestly, "Eliwood, you have to understand the painstaking efforts of the seniors. It's not that I won't let you go, but the fact of the Stargate is of great importance. This is not just a matter of a route or a network, but also involves the distribution of interests between the local nobles and the Terra bureaucrats. The water here is very complicated, and you are still young and cannot grasp it..."

Speaking of this, the old team leader looked a little melancholy.

The Ultramar star field today is already in disarray. Bureaucrats from all over the place are cautious about their own interests and are constantly arguing over petty personal gains. They have no idea of ​​the overall situation or justice.

If the Primarch had not dismantled the Five Hundred World System, had not handed over the power of division to mortals but allowed the Ultramarines to continue to manage their own homeland, how could Ultramar be in such a mess today?

At least the Ultramarines would not do something as abstract as labeling the Terran expeditionary force that brought the stargate as heresy.

No, this is too offensive. How could the Primarch be wrong? The Primarch is not wrong...

The Primarch is always right...

Harding suppressed the heretical thoughts in his heart and continued in a deep voice: "The matter of the Stargate is of great importance. I hope you don't think I am being long-winded. As soon as the 13th Expeditionary Fleet arrived in Macragge, it was jointly accused by the Ecclesiarchy, the Inquisition and the Adeptus Mechanicus. Even I can only imprison and protect you.

This is the case in the Primarch's hometown, have you ever thought about how you will be treated when you actually arrive on Terra?"

Eliwood gritted his teeth, he had already thought of something bad.

"When the High Lords' Council declares you heretics and the Imperial Navy points its guns at the expeditionary fleet, do you have the courage to raise your power sword and chop off the head of the Sun Lord?"

"When the Adeptus Mechanicus declared the Stargate construction template a forbidden technology, and Mars declared you an enemy who blasphemed the Machine God, do you have the courage to dispatch a fleet to launch an orbital bombardment on the red planet that is as ancient as Terra?"

"When the Golden Guards, carrying the forged will of the Emperor, order you to surrender, do you have the courage to ask the Valkyrie to aim the main cannon of destruction at the Imperial Palace and the Golden Throne?"

No, no loyal Space Marine has such courage and awareness.

"I have," said Hattin. "I am old, Eliwood. Eight hundred years of service have made me tired and exhausted. If someone must take the blame for the enemy of the Golden Throne and carve out the future of the Empire with his own life, that person can only be me. My life is coming to an end, and you are still young."

Hatin patted Eliwood on the shoulder, walked down the bridge and returned to the cabin of the Macragge's Glory.

Eliwood's eyes were red, and an inexplicable feeling of being moved lingered in his heart for a long time, but soon, when the turbulent emotions subsided, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

"I seem to have been fooled again..."

In the cabin, Harding, who had successfully stunned the young man with his words, felt refreshed, and the boring clerical work in the past became lovely at this moment.

"We must speed up preparations. The progress of the other 12 expeditionary fleets across the galaxy is still unknown. I need to recruit enough elite warriors as soon as possible to rebuild the 13th Expeditionary Fleet and immediately go to Terra. No matter the cost, every second counts. The supreme honor of handing the Torch of Hope to the Emperor belongs to Guilliman's descendants, to Macragge... to me."

Harding wrote quickly, and the powerful brain inherited from his genetic father was working at high speed to process the tedious documents from all over, preparing for what was to come.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and a fully armored extreme warrior broke in, looking very anxious.

Hatin put down his pen and frowned slightly. Entering the chapter master's office without knocking was a serious disrespect. It was even rarer to see such a thing within the disciplined Ultramarines.

Either this soldier was a rookie who didn't know the rules of etiquette, or the matter on his hands was extremely urgent.

Obviously, it is the latter.

"Captain! Emergency! The planet Parmenio sent a distress message. They were attacked by an unknown alien!"

The soldier ran up to Harding, panting, and slapped a piece of parchment with the ink not yet dry on his desk.

“Parmenio…” Hatin’s frown deepened.

The planet Parmenio is of great importance. It is neither an industrial base nor an agricultural world, but a training base that completely serves the selection and training of new recruits for the Extreme Marines. There are a large number of recruits who have just completed gene seed implantation and organ transformation and are undergoing unified training. It also stores a lot of gene seeds, which can be said to be a top priority.

If anything happened to Parmenio, it would undoubtedly be a heavy blow to the Ultramarines. In serious cases, it might even plunge the entire chapter into a state of decline.

Harding quickly read the description of the aliens that invaded Parmenio on the parchment, and then asked: "What is the current situation of Parmenio? How long can they hold out?"

The soldier standing in front of the table shook his head solemnly. "I don't know, Captain. The communication between Macragge and Parmenio has been cut off. None of the many astronomical messages we sent have received a response. Apart from the astronomical message you see before you, no new information has been transmitted from Parmenio."

At this moment, Parmenio was like an isolated island in the sea, completely isolated from other parts of the Ultramar star field. He was unable to utter a single scream, and only the message in a bottle he threw out when he was dying luckily floated to Macragge.

Otherwise, the Ultramarines might not even know that Parmenio was destroyed.

Harding gritted his teeth slightly, a strand of gray hair fell in front of his forehead, and he read the only information on the parchment with a serious expression.

[The creature that invaded Parmenio was a gigantic cosmic creature that looked like some strange deep-sea fish. It was even bigger than the largest void whale ever recorded, and was big enough to swallow an asteroid in one gulp.]

[It has a body structure that violates the laws of physics and an indestructible skin. Even if more than a dozen of the most powerful nova cannons focus their fire on one point, they cannot cause even the slightest damage to it.]

[It possesses powerful psychic powers and can freely travel in the warp with its physical body. Every time it swings its tail, it brings a dark shadow. Psychics or mortals who watch it will immediately go crazy, and the operation of all equipment related to the warp will be seriously disrupted.]

[Its body is parasitic on countless other small space creatures, spreading around like spores of ferns. Parmenio's orbital defense is now completely paralyzed. We are unable to resist the invasion of those torrential spore airdrops! ! ]

Chapter 265 Scarlet Purgatory

Legend has it that during the Great Crusade era when the Emperor of Mankind still walked the earth, tens of thousands of Astartes Brothers acted in legion-sized groups, using devastating firepower and rain-like airdrop pods to violently slaughter all aliens, making worlds submit to the iron torrent of the Imperium and leading humanity to expand among the stars.

Ten thousand years later, the Ultramarines recruits on the planet Parmenio were fortunate enough to witness a grand scene that their fearless predecessors had never seen before: countless airdrop pods raining down like a torrential rain. It was a pity that these airdrop pods were not made of alloy, and there was no U-shaped emblem of the Ultramarines on them.

Dense raindrops were shoulder to shoulder, filling up the originally open sky. Looking up, all you could see was a dark and oppressive scarlet color. Countless airdrop pods of creatures covered in strange scales were rushing to the ground.

Following a piercing roar that pierced the atmosphere, it was as if a giant standing tall was groaning on its deathbed. Occasionally, flares lit up and dimly revealed a huge steel-cast behemoth collapsing. It was Parmenio's most important space elevator, connecting to the dock starport on the orbit.

However, the once crowded dock has now been destroyed, and the space elevator underneath it has also collapsed because its foundation was dug.

"A kind of burrowing insects have hollowed out the foundation of the space elevator! We can't move on!" A blue-armored Astartes holding a high-precision sniper rifle sat on the dome of the hall of the planet's administrative headquarters with his back against the wall, panting.

Under his feet were endless scarlet waves, with insects swarming like a tsunami, washing over the devastated building structures wave after wave, extinguishing the fire points set up by the Extreme Marines in various parts of the building one by one.

The Executive Hall is being taken over by bugs!

Most of the defense forces in the hall were just new Ultramarines who had not yet been formally armored. Their combat power was only slightly stronger than that of elite mortals, but still far from that of regular Astartes.

In fact, even if the main force of the Extreme Warriors holds on here, they may not be able to hold out for long.

Another flash bomb streaked across the sky, and an Extreme Warrior recruit wearing basic armor rolled over to avoid the decomposition liquid thrown by the swarm and came to the side of his battle brother holding a sniper rifle.

"The space elevator collapsed. We can't escape." The sniper reminded him again: "We can only hope that the previous astropathic message for help can break through the blockade of the warp shadow. As for leaving Parmenio to Macragge for help and report the news... there is no chance anymore."

The recruit shook his head. "We still have a chance. I checked. When the space elevator collapsed, there was nothing at the end of it. The orbital starport must have made an emergency escape before being dragged into the planet's gravity well by the collapsed space elevator. This means that the starport is still barely operating outside the atmosphere. As long as we can find a way to break through the Zerg blockade, fly out of the atmosphere, and enter the starport, there is a high probability that we can find a small boat!"

The sniper looked serious: "You may be right, but this is too risky. You don't even have a complete set of power armor..."

The recruit laughed. "The strength of the Astartes Brothers lies not in the armor on their bodies nor in the grenade launchers in their hands, but in the faith in our hearts and in our willingness to die for the Emperor!"

In the blinding light of the flare, the sniper looked at the determined look on the recruit's face, and for a moment he felt that his calm eyes were more dazzling than the flare.

"I understand." The sniper threw the rifle in his hand away, took out a maneuverable plasma pistol from the body of his fighting brother at his feet and held it in his hand: "I will go with you, break through the blockade and fly out of the atmosphere!"

A bright smile appeared on the recruit's face.

However, before he could smile for a few seconds, suddenly, a dazzling flame tail suddenly streaked across the dark sky, and a huge flaming monster broke through the sky and fell to the earth.

"The star port... fell down..."

The sudden change made the recruit stunned. His passionate emotions and willingness to die for the emperor seemed particularly helpless in the face of the enemy's overwhelming strength.

The sniper threw away his plasma pistol without saying a word, picked up the sniper rifle he had just thrown away, and continued to snipe at the Zerg individuals that seemed to be the command unit under the building. Even if it was just one.

The scarlet waves rolled and rolled, and the arrival of doomsday was so sudden that it caught people off guard. Many people on the ground still don't know what happened on this planet. They only saw that the originally bright sky suddenly turned dark, as if a huge celestial body blocked them from the stars, blocking all the light.

The clear atmosphere of the planet was dyed an ambiguous pink by the flying insect spores. The whole of Parmenio seemed to be completely shrouded in a dark red fog. Looking from the ground, it felt depressing and gloomy.

At this moment, only the dying people in the falling orbital starport understand what the doomsday scene is like outside the atmosphere and in space.

What blocked the light of the stars and plunged the entire planet into darkness was not a celestial body, but a giant starry sky beast that was even larger than the celestial body.

It cruised outside of Parmenio's orbit, and its huge mouth, which was big enough to swallow asteroids, slowly opened and spit out a scarlet mist. It was countless Zerg spores and biological airdrop pods, which completely submerged the entire Parmenio.

This is a giant worm, an 'ether giant worm' that can roam freely in the ether turbulence of the sea of ​​souls.

It was so huge that the new Ultramarines on the ground felt as if their bodies had become lighter, and as they ran they seemed to be floating off the surface of the planet.

It was so powerful that Parmenio's orbital defenses were vulnerable to its surprise attack. Just a flick of its tail was enough to kill a large number of the powerful warships that the navy masters were proud of.

Its body was solid. Countless orbital defense platforms that were shattered into pieces and ports equipped with torpedo launch arrays launched a desperate counterattack before their death. The concentrated fire of countless artillery pieces failed to scratch even one of its scales.

Countless twisted and broken metal fragments were attracted by the huge gravity of the 'Ether Giant Worm' and slowly drifted around its body like pieces of paper flying in the wind.

It is hard to imagine why such a huge beast did not have its spine broken by its own weight?

The human empire is destined to have no answers.

The ether worm cruised along, wagging its tail patiently in Parmenio's orbit.

It is waiting for the destruction of the planet, waiting for countless Zerg ground forces to slaughter all living things on the planet and boil them into a pot of organic soup that does not need to be digested for its own feast.

Chapter 266 Opening Eyes

, in the miniature galaxy, there are converging galaxies.

Gray Wind is preparing to debug the Sentinel antenna.

The delivery date of the Overmind was expected to be 020, but the construction of the Sentinel Array, which started later, was progressing faster than that of the Overmind that carries the Stargate.

The structure of the sentinel array is not too complicated and is mainly divided into three parts.

[Sentinel Antenna], this huge static antenna is the core of the entire Sentinel array, enough to extend the monitoring range to the entire Milky Way
