Absolutely, easily.

With three major fleets, six Blackstone Fortresses, and tens of thousands of Astartes in hand, which cannot even defeat an ether giant worm, Guilliman can go to commit suicide in front of the Golden Throne now.

So will Khorne allow Guilliman to prevail? Won't.

This is why Russell is now drinking milk tea at the door of the Eye of Fear.

"The Brass Fortress is already preparing to move. It seems that Guilliman's pre-war plan has been completed and his fleet has set off to attack the ether giant worm."

Russell sighed softly: "I don't know what is holding the Emperor back now. He didn't even come to see his son ascend to godhood, and I have to escort Guilliman.

Having said that, he was about to step away from the balcony.

"Where are you going?" Gray Wind stared warily at Russell's leg that had just taken half a step.

"You can't follow." Russell immediately saw what Gray Wind was thinking: "Although your research on the Eldar and Necromancer technology has given you the ability to resist the influence of subspace, you are still not strong enough to face the four gods directly. Not caught, and I’m the only one.”

"Okay..." Gray Wind walked away dejectedly, holding the cup.

Russell rubbed his waist with lingering fear. He would never tell Hui Feng the real reason why he didn't let her follow...

Grey Wind is not an organic life form, nor is she bound by human morality and shame. Once she gets in the mood, she will not care about the occasion at all. Often, while Russell is still sitting in a chair and talking seriously with others, Grey Wind suddenly gets excited, and the tiny tentacles made of nanorobots reach into the marshal's trouser legs and climb up his thighs.

Russell, who was being played around by others, had to keep a straight face and maintain his dignity in front of his subordinates who admired him. This experience was truly torturous.

I can't stand it, I can't stand it at all.

Reason told Russell that he could not go on like this! Otherwise, sooner or later, he will be tricked by Gray Wind.

As if that would be good... No! Can't! Such behavior is unsound! Russell quickly pushed this dangerous thought out of his mind, and after checking that there were no signs of Slaanesh contamination on his body, he activated the teleportation spell and left Cardia alone.

At the same time, in the Greater Ultramar star field, a large number of fleets have gathered in the Danak system through stargate jumps.

This is an important galaxy in the Ultramar star field with a large population. There are many imperial colonies in the galaxy, including nest cities and mining planets.

Under the Primarch's orders, the Navigators of the Navigator family observed the movements of the Sea of ​​Souls at the cost of being driven mad by the shadow of the Warp. After thousands of Navigators paid the price of their lives, Guilliman's intelligence department finally calculated the next target of the Aether Worm.

Two of the three fleets were mobilized, and the 3st Expeditionary Fleet and the Gothic Fleet quickly rushed to Danak through the stargate. After about half a standard Terran moon, thousands of ships were assembled in Danak's orbital starport.

——Half a month is already an unimaginable support speed for the human empire in the past. In the past, when the imperial colonies were invaded, it would take about -100 years to several centuries from sending out star messages for help to the arrival of support troops, depending on the weather in the Sea of ​​Souls when they set out, and the mood of the evil gods of the warp.

But now it only takes a few days, and even the assembly of thousands of warships only takes just half a month.

Before the war officially started, the star gate standing on the edge of the star's gravity well showed its vital strategic significance.

"Everything is going as planned..."

Guilliman sat in the command post of his Glorious Queen-class battleship 'Macragge's Glory', his eyes reflecting the deployment information from various combat departments. The existence of the stargate greatly improved the efficiency of his troop deployment. The Ultramarines Primarch's strategic coordination ability was already superhuman, and now it was even more powerful.

The six black stone fortresses were scattered in the asteroid belt outside the Darnak system and activated the force field to hide themselves. The sailors of the Gothic fleet were in their respective positions in the Darnak star port. They wanted to take the initiative after the ether giant jumped into the galaxy. Attack and lead this starry sky beast to the intersection of the attack ranges of the six black stone fortresses, creating conditions for quickly killing the giant insect.

The 1st Expeditionary Fleet, under the command of the Imperial Guard Bramimund, docked over the hive world of Secuntus in the same system. They were responsible for responding quickly when the spore drop pods of the swarm invaded the surface and annihilated them all. There may be as many insect swarm biological ships as possible to reduce the pressure on the ground defense forces.

As for the Ultramar Navy and the Ultramarines, they also have their own missions...

All the arrangements were in order, and the coordination of all aspects was flawless. For this reason, Guilliman even contacted a team of Gray Knights who were trapped in the Ultramar star field and unable to return to the solar system to fight against the possible incoming Khorne demonic army.

The Primarch was fully prepared for this crusade, to the point where it was beyond calculation.

Next, all we have to do is wait for the arrival of the ether giant worm.

Everyone in the Danak system was on edge. Non-essential factories in the hive city had shut down ahead of schedule. Residents were organized to take refuge in underground shelters. Children were taken away first by Thunderhawk gunships and transport planes. Every community was under high-pressure martial law.

——In the past, during every war, various Chaos cults took advantage of opportunities. When the empire’s army focused on resisting foreign enemies and relaxed its internal suppression, the heresies that used to be dormant and hidden among the people became It will be extremely rampant and give every commander a headache.

But fortunately, this did not happen in the Darnak galaxy where the war was about to begin. The pre-war preparations arranged by the original body went smoothly.

In fact, not only in the Darnak Galaxy, but also in the entire Ultramar and even the entire Milky Way, the chaos problem has been much alleviated in recent years than before, and the influence of chaos on some planets has even completely disappeared.

The high-dimensional warships of the Boundary Breakers poured into the subspace like dumplings. The four gods who were busy defending had no time to care about the real world, which alleviated the chaos problem in the entire galaxy.

Guilliman didn't know whether the Breakers would become a more terrifying threat than Chaos in the future, but at least for now, the high-dimensional invasion had helped him a lot.

"I will use the blood of aliens to establish my father's glory." An Ultramarines sergeant sat in the cabin of the battleship, wiping his plasma pistol and swore secretly in his heart.

But what no one expected was that, following a wave of psychic energy that disturbed time and space, what appeared before the defenders was not a giant Tyranid worm covered in dragon scale armor, but -

A dark castle.

Chapter 329 Val’s Talisman

"We caught it! There are subspace fluctuations at the Mandeville Point in the Darnak galaxy, and subspace rifts are opening! Something is coming out!"

The psychics on the front line hurriedly reported their observation results. Adhering to the inertial thinking or tradition of the Human Empire for ten thousand years, Danak's intelligence department and reconnaissance agency subconsciously focused their energy on detecting the movements of Mandeville Point.

In the past, no matter whether it was the military deployment of the Imperial Fleet or the invasion of Chaos traitors and aliens, all tactics and strategies were created under the premise of "subspace navigation". The safe coordinate of jumping from the subspace into the star system - the Mandeville Point - became the top priority of every galaxy-level battle.

Under martial law, any abnormal movement at Mandeville Point = enemy attack. This has become the instinctive understanding of almost every imperial intelligence officer.

But that’s not the case now.

The subspace fluctuations that appeared at the Mandeville point in the Danak system at this moment did not mean the arrival of the Ether Giant Worm, because according to the information Guilliman had, the Ether Giant Worm had a biological engine in its body that could distort time and space to perform superluminal jumps without passing through the subspace.

That is to say, if the ether giant worm jumps into Danak, they will not receive any warning from the subspace, and can only rely on gravitational wave detection devices and biomagnetic field interference circuits to barely get some signs that are not timely.

Therefore, who is it that is causing the sea of ​​souls to move in the Darnak galaxy at this moment, and is about to emerge from the Mandeville Point and enter the real universe?

Guilliman's doubts were soon answered.

In the outer ring of the Darnak galaxy, behind an ice-crystal asteroid, the pitch-black city wall squeezed through the water waves, smashing a spire and castle that looked like a nightmare from hell into space.

"What is that...?" Guilliman frowned slightly as he looked at the real-time picture displayed by the holographic projector in front of him. A spire-like building emerged from the warp, and it was as sharp as a deadly spear pointing at him.

The black stone reveals an indescribable hard texture, and the impressive black color is also very illusory, as if the material making up this spire was not originally such a dark color, but was dyed later.

——A bottle made of white jade is filled with ink, which looks white and black inside. This is the visual effect.

This doubt lasted only for a moment. Just seconds later, Guilliman found the origin of this material from his vast knowledge.

“Spiritual bones.” Guilliman’s eyes widened as he stared at the holographic projection in front of him. “The black spiritual bones are a sign of corruption. This is the spiritual bone building of the Dark Eldar. Notify Blackstone Fortress No. 5 and No. 6 to stop charging and open fire immediately!”

The Primarch's order was immediately transmitted through the electromagnetic communication band, and the war fortresses parked on the back of the small star were mobilized one after another. Everyone's action had only one purpose: to kill the aliens.

Robert Guilliman has many titles, such as wisdom, rationality, and kingly demeanor. The people of Ultramar have bestowed upon him many beautiful qualities, but before all the words of praise, Guilliman has one and only one identity:

A killing machine created by the Emperor of Mankind for the purpose of exterminating all non-human races in the universe.

All 21 primarchs were the most extreme and xenophobic germanists at the beginning of their birth, and Guilliman was no exception. He was hostile to all races except humans, whether they were bugs or arrogant people. In his opinion, the Eldar are no different. Any intelligent creature that is not a human being has no second option except to kill them all before the guns of the Ultramarines.

How can you say that something without a human identity deserves to increase in entropy?

In the next microsecond when he recognized the origin of that building, the blood in Guilliman's body became hot. He recognized that the spire emerging from the subspace was made of spiritual bones, and he also recognized the tower body and the city wall. Those beautiful and blasphemous reliefs above are the degenerate art of the Eldar, so now Guilliman has only one thing to do.

"I will kill you all, I will kill you all!"

Despite his rage, Guilliman had no intention of picking up the Emperor's Sword and leading his men to board the Eldar building.

Because reason told him that it would be faster to use the firepower of the Blackstone Fortress to kill these aliens. Guilliman did not want these dirty Eldar to breathe more in the universe for even one second.

The Blackstone Fortress numbered was activated under the will of the Primarch. The cross-shaped fortress split from the core into pairs of symmetrical hinges, and an incredible amount of energy gathered at the core.

The main gun firepower of Blackstone Fortress is enough to destroy stars, and the charging time for such devastating firepower is - it has already been charged.

In the subspace rift at Mandeville Point, the spear-like tower has just emerged 2/3. On the other side, the energy torrent from the two black stone fortresses has already gathered.

Two violent pillars of chaotic energy shot out from the cores of the two black stone fortresses, converged at a point in the empty space, and shot at the coordinates of Mandeville Point with precise refraction angles calculated many times.

The next moment, the spiritual bone tower broke at the waist.

The vibrations of the sound lacked a medium to propagate in the vacuum, but the crashing thunders like mountain roars and tsunami still rolled towards the face. The contaminated spiritual bone fragments quickly and fragile crystallized under the frontal bombardment of the Blackstone Fortress, and mixed into the ether wrapped around the spire. The turbulence disappeared.

"Holy God, the oracle received by the prophet Talos has been fulfilled. The savage human monkey has indeed taken control of the 'Amulet of Vaal', which is unforgivable."

In a place that the Imperial detectors could not detect, at the base of a pitch-black spire, a deformed Eldar with dark blue skin and poisonous acid flowing in his veins watched the scene of the two Black Stone Fortresses opening fire, gritting his teeth secretly.

‘Vaal’s Talisman’ is the Eldar’s name for Blackstone Fortress, or Blackstone Fortress is the humans’ name for ‘Vaal’s Talisman’.

Vaal is the craftsman god in Eldar mythology. Legend has it that after the War in Heaven, the craftsman god created these devastating war weapons in response to the possible threat of the Star Gods, hence the name, Vaal's Talisman.

Of course, this is only a side view of the Eldar. There are also scholars within the empire who believe that the Blackstone Fortress is actually a war fortress made by the undead. As for the truth, it is impossible to verify it.

However, no matter who owns the Blackstone Fortress, two things are certain.

1. The Blackstone Fortress has powerful combat power that can annihilate the Star Gods.

2. This powerful weapon is already in the hands of the human empire

"The stupid monkey dares to steal the great creation of our work god. You are destined to not be forgiven..." The veins in the forehead of the Haemonculi elder under the spire were beating, and he whispered: "Activate the relic, 'Void Veil'."

It would use Robert Guilliman's head to wash away the shame of the relic being stolen.

Chapter 330 Void Veil

The black spire made of wraith bones is more indestructible than the strongest adamantium, but the firepower of the Blackstone Fortress is so powerful that it can easily destroy a planet. The mere wraith bone spiers cannot withstand the combined output of the two fortresses.

Indeed, it was. The disintegration beam filled with chaotic energy swept across the dark tower along the fractured direction, like a farmer's rake plowing through the soft land, leaving a deep gully. The crystallized fragments were submerged in the turbulent ether and melted in the sea of ​​souls. The vanguard ships of the Gothic fleet had already spread out around the dark spire. They surrounded the tower and waited for the dark Eldar in the tower to flee from the spire that was about to collapse.

But then, the tower's collapse process came to an abrupt halt.

The two numbered Blackstone Fortresses were still delivering damage, but the destructive effect of the fission beam on the black spire was no longer obvious - no, it was not that the effect was not obvious, but that there was no effect at all.

The surging torrent of energy was a deadly javelin thrown by the original body. It penetrated deeply into the body of the spirit bone tower that was blackened by the evil energy of chaos, breaking it in half. But now, the cracking stream shot out by the Blackstone Fortress is like water flowing into a bottomless pool, without causing any splash, and the collapse of the spire has completely stopped.

If it weren't for the broken spiritual bone spire slowly drifting out of the subspace rift in front of his eyes, the naval captain of the advance combat formation would have even doubted whether the previous devastating scene was an illusion.

"What on earth is going on...?" On the assault boat closest to the spire, the commander of the formation who was leading the charge looked at the gradually shrinking subspace rift in front of him, feeling confused.

Immediately afterwards, a huge earthquake responded to his doubts.

Behind the Wraith Bone Spire, an ice crystal asteroid at the end of the gravitational influence of the Darnak system exploded. The broken ice crystals brittle and disintegrated under the interference of chaotic energy, and a large number of fragments scattered in all directions. Everyone who observed this fact quickly realized what had just happened.

The fission beam launched by the Blackstone Fortress passed directly through the Wraithbone Spire, destroying the ice crystal asteroid further away, but the Wraithbone Spire itself was not harmed in the process.

"The nova cannon, torpedoes, light spears, and all available long-range weapons are activated and the test firing begins." The captain made a decision immediately. As the command unit at the forefront, he has the power to formulate temporary combat strategies: " Regardless of the result, turn around and evacuate immediately after the weapon is fired. The enemy is suspected to be immune to the attack, so execute it immediately!"

As the captain's order was conveyed, more than a dozen light ships of the Gothic fleet's advance combat formation quickly aimed in the direction of the Columbarium and launched torpedoes, lances and other long-range weapons one after another. Small spots of light floated towards the direction of the spire.

These small warships used for reconnaissance and guerrilla purposes do not have much firepower, and the captain does not expect that their attacks will really cause any damage to this strange Eldar building. He only wanted to confirm one thing.

"The warhead did not explode, Captain." The adjutant reported: "Whether it is a torpedo, a light spear, or a nova cannon, all our types of long-range weapons have failed to cause damage to the Eldar building. Unlike the void shield or the deflection field, the enemy did not resist or deflect our shells, but..."

"It was our shells that went through." The navy captain stared at the boundless space in front of him. The base of the dark spire had completely arrived in the real universe, and the subspace rift it had torn open had also closed. However, a layer of illusory halo was still lingering on the surface of the wall of the spire. The shy Eldar girl covered her beautiful face with an ambiguous veil.

It was an ancient relic from the Ancient Eldar Empire, and its name was: Veil of the Void.
