Travel to Warhammer 40K with Grey Wind

Russell talked to himself as he walked slowly to the center of the tower top and gently shook off the psychic dust in his hand. The greedy machine quickly swallowed up the energy he bestowed. The dust that condensed the psychic potential of the Son of Change throughout his life fell into the core furnace of the Zero Storm Projector and was immediately ignited.

The burning of dust gave rise to chaotic and violent psychic fluctuations. This violent energy was amplified and amplified by the signal tower, sweeping across the starry sky until it encompassed the entire Faya star system.

Artificial storm, start projecting.

The psychic storm created by the Zelo Storm Projector affects both the virtual world and the real world.

In the warp, the psychic tides, which were not calm to begin with, quickly became violent and chaotic. With the burning psychic dust in the Seekers' Base as its center, a roaring warp storm enveloped the entire Faya galaxy. All warp voyages with Faya as the starting point or end point became nonsense.

In the real universe, the astronomical environment in the Faya galaxy is becoming extremely harsh. Equipment such as the psychic divination array and subspace detectors failed at the first moment. The void shield systems on board various ships were originally operating well, but after the storm set off, they almost failed one by one.

The ship's regular navigation became difficult, and the operation of the weapon system was also affected by some unknown interference, becoming slow and sluggish.

The psychic dust that caused all this was being burned and consumed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Russell walked past the Sons of Change with an expressionless face, and the psychic flames lingering between his fingers ignited them one by one and burned them to ashes.

"The psychic dust is being consumed faster than expected. Grey Wind, you have to hurry." Russell said.

"I understand, Marshal." Gray Wind's voice sounded directly from his mind.

Seeing the Star-Bullet doing things slowly and elegantly, new hope arose in Bernatita's heart.

As he said, the star gate of Nirvana may have been destroyed by chaos. Even if the prophetess can lead everyone to dispel the chaos, it will take time to repair the star gate.

Obviously, Miraak and his Imperial Fleet would never be able to hold out until that time.

But the absence of Nirvana’s support does not mean there is no support.

During the Orc War, it was the Star-Ballist who provided decisive support to the Imperial landing forces with several Titan legions, and personally killed the Great Demon and the Orc warlord. Then, at the cost of a relic battleship, he annihilated the Zerg that covered the sky.

What about this time? Facing the mighty invasion of Chaos, how will the Star Bullet save the troubled Faya?

The answer is a very simple and crude way.

As artificial storms were projected across the entire Faya galaxy, the Imperial and Chaos fleets, affected by various astronomical factors, became clumsy and sluggish, and the intensity of the war was eased by several levels.

Just when everyone was feeling confused and panicked by this sudden change, in the asteroid belt outside Faya, in the center of the main battlefield where the Empire and Chaos were fighting fiercely, a distortion of space curvature appeared that was observable even with the naked eye.

Then, a huge monster as eye-catching as an asteroid appeared out of nowhere in front of the warring parties.

What is that? A battleship? Or some giant creature?"

A naval officer on the front line subconsciously clenched his teeth and forced himself to stare at the huge monster that suddenly appeared in front of his ship.

It was a huge, silvery-white creature that looked like some kind of "fish".

Its body is covered with dense scales of complex structure, and a faint blue light emanates from the gaps between them.

It has a translucent bright "fin" on each side of its body, just like a bat with wing membranes wrapped around its body.

Its head was as big as an orc's battle moon, with dozens of eyes emitting purple light. The officer had no doubt that the powerful jaws could bite off the most powerful flagship of his fleet, the Flame of Repentance.

What a horrible creature it was! Most people who saw this scene were unwilling to believe that it was a living creature. Perhaps only the largest and most cumbersome biological mothership in the Zerg fleet could be compared with such a monster.

But this giant beast cruising through the starry sky is not clumsy at all.

Its fins flapped and its body twisted, avoiding nearby Imperial ships with incredible agility and flexibility, then deftly bypassed the bumpy rubble and plunged into the ranks of the Chaos fleet.

Captains who have personally operated ships and experienced how difficult it is to sail in artificial storms all have doubts about the laws of physics.

What kind of body structure and what kind of material strength can support such violent movements without breaking the body due to inertia?

Then, this celestial creature, which was later named "Nano Dragon" by the Empire, opened its huge mouth towards the Chaos fleet.

In an inexplicable way, huge amounts of energy gathered, compressed, and gushed out from its mouth.

The dragon breathed.

Chapter 67 Hunting

A single head of the nano dragon is as big as a battle moon. When it opens its mouth and exhales, even the largest warship will be submerged by the rushing tachyon stream.

If the void shield system is intact and operating at full power, large warships can barely withstand such attacks.

Now that all kinds of shields such as the Void Shield have been invalidated by the Zelo Storm, subspace navigation has been blocked, and conventional navigation has been slowed down by astronomical disasters, even the Chaos warships blessed by the evil god have nowhere to escape and can only use their own armor and hull to resist the breath of the nano dragon.

The consequences of doing so are disastrous.

Relying on its incredible physical strength, the nano dragon ignored its own huge mass and volume, and swam flexibly in space, wagging its tail, shaking its head, and sweeping the starry sky with its hot breath, engulfing countless Chaos ships of all sizes.

This first wave of attack alone caused heavy losses to the Chaos Fleet, and many small pirate raider boats were directly burned into cosmic dust by the dragon's breath.

Then, the Chaos fleet's counterattacks came one after another.

The warriors who believed in Slaanesh completely ignored the small warships and space pirates that were scattered and fled after being bombarded by the dragon's breath. They looked down on those imperfect rabbis from the bottom of their hearts.

A war gang of the most perfect people who pursue the perfect art of war. They have honed their skills in both boarding operations and naval warfare to the highest level. The Ark of Bliss and Oracle of Truth operated by them are still able to hold their ground after suffering huge damage. The warships under their control still appear comfortable and elegant even under such devastating blows.

They maintained a perfect formation with no faults. They calculated the movement speed of their ships, which had become difficult due to astronomical disasters, the interference of their weapons, the action patterns of the nano dragons, etc. with extreme accuracy. They sprayed elegant and beautiful torpedoes and light spears at the star beasts in front of them.

The huge size of the Nano Dragon became the first flaw they exploited, and the first wave of attacks hit the beast's tail as expected.

And then—nothing happened.

No matter whether it was the blazing energy weapons or the exploding physical ammunition, they failed to leave any traces on the dragon scale armor that was gleaming with a cyan-blue glow. Only the wave cannon blessed by the chaotic energy of the subspace could cause a certain degree of damage to the giant beast.

But the Nano Dragon seemed to possess extremely powerful self-healing abilities, and the damage caused by the Chaos-blessed weapons quickly healed itself.

The perfect warriors soon discovered that the giant beast was more powerful than they had expected. It was very tanky but also had great damage.

The movement is also very sexy.

The injured Nano Dragon quickly abandoned the Chaos Barge it was chasing, and retaliated by chasing after the Ark of Bliss and the Oracle of Truth with a flexibility and speed that was totally inconsistent with its size and mass.

The fleet of Supreme Perfects that were escorting the two Chaos flagships were soon destroyed by the dragon's rage. The destructive power and aggressiveness of the nano dragons were far beyond everyone's understanding.

Miraak and his officers were thankful for one thing: the nano dragon seemed to intentionally avoid Imperial ships and only hunted the Chaos fleet with a purpose.

Soon, the Flame of Repentance, which had been seriously injured in the previous fierce battle, received a message from the command room of the Seekers Base: the suddenly appearing nano dragon was a friendly unit of the Imperial Fleet.

It belongs to the "Star Slinger"...

Even Mirak couldn't accept this ridiculous message that could be called a joke. But after seeing the name of Star Bullet and the sender and guarantor "Bernatita" at the end of the urgent communication, he immediately forced himself to adjust his mindset.

Miraak calmed down and began to coordinate his subordinates; he drove away the remaining Chaos fleet, chased the small Chaos ships that fled in panic, and prevented the scattered Chaos forces from approaching the planet Faya...

The Imperial fleet, which had just caught its breath, cooperated with the nanodragon's hunting operations in every way. They danced with the dragons in the starry sky, feeling awe and fear, and were on high alert every second.

Blocked by an artificial storm, Faya is now like a giant Colosseum on the scale of a galaxy. Giant nanodragons roam between celestial bodies, and with the cooperation of the Imperial Fleet, they efficiently clear out the remnants of Chaos whose morale has completely collapsed and have been routed.

The ultra-long-range precision strike weapons on the Seekers' base also participated in this hunt. Inside the base, when Bernatita finally got rid of the many state church priests and legal personnel who tried to ask her various questions and quietly returned to the top of the tower, the Star Launcher was no longer there.

The Zero Storm Projector was operating as usual, but there were only a few Sons of Change hanging on the tower left, and the energy consumption required to maintain this artificial storm was terrifying.

There were only two Grey Winds left on the empty tower top, one maintaining the operation of the system, and the other watching over the reaction process of the remaining Chaos Astartes being burned into psychic dust.

"Um... Has the Star Bullet left yet?"

The two Gray Winds did not answer Bernatita's question, and their reactions to her arrival were not very enthusiastic.

Grey Wind quietly watched over the last Son of Change. His eyes were devoid of any emotion as he watched the Immutable Priest struggle in agony and burn out. He then carefully collected the crystal dust that had extracted all of his life's psychic potential and placed it in the core furnace of the Storm Projector for future use.

After completing these tasks, Gray Wind turned around and saw that Bernatita had not left yet.

"The energy is a little insufficient. Can you provide me with some psychics that can be used as fuel?" Gray Wind asked.

"Of course, of course." Bernadette affirmed, and then carefully said, "During this Chaos invasion, we have screened and captured a large number of Fallen Navigators who were mentally fragile and bewitched by Chaos. I will immediately arrange for someone to hand over those who are not worth interrogating to you..."

"Thank you very much for cooperating with my work." Huifeng raised the corner of his mouth and gave her a faint smile.

"Thank you so much, this is also helping ourselves." Bernatita immediately returned the greeting.

The serious look on Gray Wind's face in meticulously carrying out the tasks left by the Star Missile made her feel more at ease. Bernatita had already made a preliminary judgment on the nature of these two humanoid combat machines called "Gray Wind": they were not artificial intelligences with self-awareness, but more rigid, automatic program-like existences that could only carry out established tasks, and any change in action required the authorization of the Star Missile.

That's right, as an ancient immortal who has survived from the technological dark age to this day, how could the Star-Ballist make such a low-level mistake and keep a highly dangerous artificial intelligence by his side?

Bernadette felt that her previous suspicions were unfounded and a little offensive.

Throwing all these random thoughts behind her, Bernadette turned and left. She had to hurry and send new psychics here before the psychic dust of the Sons of Change burned out, in order to maintain the venue for the hunt in the starry sky.

"Please wait a moment." Gray Wind called her.

Bernadette turned her head warily, only to see Gray Wind, who was originally in charge of the operation of the storm projector system, leave his post and come behind her.

Chapter 68 Repayment

"Is there anything else?" Bernadette looked at the two Gray Winds as friendly as possible.

"My master asked me to tell you that he is not a selfless saint. As the saying goes, three times is the limit. This is the last time he will provide free help to the human empire. If you still want to obtain other valuable information or help from the Star Bullet, you will need to pay the corresponding compensation."

Gray Wind spoke very clearly, as if he was afraid that the other party would not understand: "This Zelo Storm Projector and the Seekers Base will be stationed in Faya all year round. I will teach you the principle of the chain combustion reaction that generates psychic dust, so that you can obtain the energy needed to maintain the system."

Is the Star-Ballist so generous as to give half of this artifact to the Empire? If the Adeptus Mechanicus knew about this...

Bernadette was prepared to be asked by the lion, "What does he want from us?"

"The master wants a lot of things... This time, it's the right to conscript soldiers." Gray Wind said truthfully: "We want to obtain the right to legally conscript soldiers in Espenes and its surrounding star regions - a small scale is fine, no more than 1 people per hive planet every 10 years."

That means that on average, only one person is taken from each planet every year...

This number is not even a drop in the ocean for the human empire with a huge population. The price offered by the Star Bullet for the Zero Storm Projector was so low that it made Bernatita suspicious.

Perhaps the number of people is not the point, but the significance of the Star-Bullet "gaining power in the human empire" itself?

After thinking for a moment, Bernatita did not raise any objections: "I will do my best to persuade the district government of Eusbaines. If possible, this scope can be expanded to almost the entire Far Eastern Frontier."

"That would be great." Gray Wind's smile was perfect.

After Bernatita left, Grey Wind returned to the equipment and continued his work.

The encirclement and suppression war in space is drawing to a close. With a steady supply of fuel, the psychic storm continues to cover Faya.

All kinds of shipborne detection equipment, both friendly and enemy, were rendered inoperable by the disturbance of the storm. The Mechanicus took the initiative to produce the holy relic "Eye of Truth" that they had stolen from the Archbishop when they built the Ohm Messiah Statue, in order to open the field of vision for the Imperial Fleet so as to better cooperate with the Nanodragons in combat.

The Nano Dragons' combat power was so terrifying that when the fuel was finally exhausted and the storm finally dissipated, even in the field of vision of the Eye of Truth, there was no longer a single Chaos ship that had not been destroyed.

The priests of the State Church, who had preached to encourage the mortal auxiliary troops and led the charge against the demons in the previous battles, and who had managed to survive in the end, were now worshipping the Holy Statue of the Guide in the outer reaches of the galaxy in every public open area they could find. They were deeply moved by the miracles of the Emperor, and wept bitterly for the desecration of the holy statues.

The pious look led a group of mortal soldiers to worship the headless statue holding a lantern without even treating their wounds. Almost everyone called this sudden Warp storm "The Emperor's Wrath". Even the nano dragon that suddenly appeared in Faya and beat up Chaos was praised by the fanatical believers.

This made Russell a little worried that if time went on, Gray Wind might be worshiped by these superstitious people and his machine soul would be taken away...

The Battle Sisters and the Imperial Guard, who suffered minor losses due to their late entry into the battle, took on the ground combat mission to conclude the war. They were responsible for clearing out the few Chaos remnants who had quietly landed on the surface of Falla in the chaos. At this moment, they were also clearing out the enemies in the dense forests and steel jungles, preparing for battle.
