Travel to Warhammer 40K with Grey Wind

It was not until Alexei recently proposed to interrogate them personally that the Inquisition reluctantly transferred this group of half-dead aliens to the upper levels of the hive for continued detention.

After all, they could not allow the Emperor's prophetess to deign to set foot in the filthy depths of the hive, for Alexei never wore shoes.

- She was not wearing any underwear. Apart from the blindfold covered with holy words and the white robe covering her body, there was no other piece of cloth on the prophetess's body. She didn't even have a hair tie to tie her hair. This symbolized her total devotion to the Emperor.

Before Russell left the battleship to head for Nifol Prime, he specifically told the 200 members of the Order of Truth who stayed on the Ark of Bliss and the Oracle of Truth that no matter what happened, they must not leave the cabin to go to the outside world, otherwise they would suffer a fatal disaster. The calculator who managed this group of people said yes repeatedly.

The overall climate of the main planet of Nifol is relatively cold. All residential areas except the North and South Poles are generally divided into four major sections. The "Holy Grace Section" ruled by the Reipt family is located at the warmest and most comfortable planetary equator.

Bernadette drove the shuttle, taking Russell and the Star-Ballist through the strict inspection checkpoints and the Reipt family emblem hanging high on the upper floors of the hive, and entered the towering tower at the equator.

The upper class nobles who had already received the news had been waiting here with their entourage and secretaries to welcome their arrival. They had many matters of cooperation that needed to be discussed and negotiated with Governor Falla... and to show goodwill.

But that has nothing to do with the Star-Ballist.

"The secret room where the prophetess interrogates the elves is at the deepest part of the spire. Show this token to the Inquisitor inside, and you can enter smoothly... Sorry, I can't accompany you on the rest of the journey." Bernadette whispered, handing an exquisite golden emblem to the Star Launcher.

Then she turned around and stayed in the council hall with "Russell" to talk with the upper nobles about many matters concerning the L-Star Gate.

Without having to point it out, Russell could also guess why Bernatita didn't go with him to see Alexei. It was actually very simple - she was still a criminal, so she naturally didn't want to meet with her fellow judges. Judges who disagreed with her would inevitably put pressure on Alexei, hoping to convict and try Bernatita as soon as possible.

That would put Alexei in a dilemma.

It was obvious that the situation of this former inquisitor was very difficult... Russell played with the golden emblem in his hand and looked back at Gray Wind who was standing with Bernatita and seemed to be arguing with the nobles.

He shook his head, put on the black robe of the Star Bullet, and walked along the corridor deeper into the building.

The inquisitors who interrogated the Eldar together with the prophetess belonged to the same faction. To be precise, there was an old inquisitor with three newcomers who had just entered the profession.

When Russell arrived at the secret porch deep in the spire with the golden emblem, the old inquisitor known as the "Blood Lion" was waiting in front of the heavy stone door engraved with the Reipt family emblem with his three novice apprentices, waiting for something.

Blood Lion did not overreact to the arrival of the "Star Bullet". He just raised his eyes slightly from his raised collar and glanced at the golden emblem in Russell's hand. After confirming his identity, he closed his eyes and acquiesced to his passage.

Russell maintained the indifference that a star-shooter should have. He walked past the blood lion without saying a word and entered the stone gate.

There are three stone gates in total.

The first door is engraved with the Reipt family crest, the second is printed with the gear skull of the Mechanicus, and the third is the sacred Imperial double-headed eagle.

Such strict detention shows the human empire's deep hatred and extreme vigilance towards the dangerous aliens such as the Eldar.

When you enter the secret room behind the three stone doors, the first thing that hits you is a strong smell of blood, which is very different from human blood, but has some strange similarities with it.

Russell looked up and saw dozens of dying humanoid creatures with pointed ears nailed to the three walls of the secret room like dried bacon.

It's nailed, not hung.

Black steel spikes engraved with High Gothic poems and bearing the mark of purity pierced the shoulder blades, clavicles, pelvises, and knees of these Eldar, nailing their tortured, broken bodies to the wall in a bloody manner, like livestock without any dignity.

This is the masterpiece of Inquisitor Blood Lion.

According to Bernatita's intelligence, the ideology espoused by the Blood Lion belongs to an extreme branch of the Purity Faction within the Inquisition: the "Monopolists".

The Exclusivists believe in the Mandate of the Empire, and believe that humans are the natural and should be the only masters of the Milky Way. Therefore, their methods against all alien heretics are extremely dark and cruel, so cruel that even other Inquisitors of the Purity Faction feel disgusted and even terrified by them.

Russell looked at the carefully cut chest and abdomen of a female Eldar nailed to the wall, as well as the suspicious glands hanging on both sides of her thighs, and thought that the rumors about the cruelty of the monopolists might be a bit conservative.

In this blood-stained room, a blindfolded female prophet wearing a simple white robe stood barefoot in the center of the secret room. Her long pure white hair and dots of golden light around her were out of place with the gloomy and depressing atmosphere here.

Alexei turned around, put his hands on his lower abdomen, bent down to Russell, and bowed deeply.

"You're here."

"I'm here." Russell's voice was as ethereal as mist: "I'm not good at interrogation, and these Eldar are dying, there's nothing to interrogate... What do you want me to do?"

"No need for you to do it yourself." Alexei showed him a beautiful smile that pleased the eyes and said, "Thanks to the Emperor's guidance, I successfully extracted and consumed the soul of the Eldar prophet, thereby gaining all of its memories."

"In the memory of the Eldar prophet, I found something very... incredible. I think it is something I must tell you."

Russell became interested: "Soul devouring? I never thought that the Emperor's saint would go down a heretical path... Tell me, what is the incredible thing?"

Chapter 78 Lost Dream Nebula

Digesting the souls of the Eldar seemed to be a heavy burden for the living saint of the Emperor. Alexei placed his hands on his chest and took a few seconds to organize his words:

"The Eldar prophet learned of the existence of the L-Gate in the prophecy. However, no matter how powerful it is or how advanced its psychic abilities are, it only has a very vague idea of ​​the L-Gate, which is that the L-Gate will help humanity rise again, completely destroy the Eldar's hope of revival, and bring disaster to its own Arkworld of Fordlan."

This was the direct reason why the Ark Eldar of Fordlan launched a surprise attack on Nirvana and destroyed the L-Star Gate.

Russell further read more information from Alexi's mental fluctuations:

The Eldar of the Fordlan Ark seemed to think that the L-gate was some kind of lost ancient facility, and that if one was destroyed, there would be one less. They didn't know that Nirvana had the complete set of blueprints for building sub-gates, so they just left after destroying a sub-gate.

The arrogance and stupidity of the Eldar were indeed quite amusing, but why would Alexi alarm the Star-Bombarder over such a small matter?

Naturally not.

"Please look here." Alexei said softly, bent down by the hem of her skirt, and gently placed a small portable projector the size of a fist on the floor.

Then, a very detailed star map was projected between the two of them.

"As you can see, this is the Espene star region." Alexei's slender finger pointed to an area of ​​dense starlight in the lower left corner of the star map. Then her fingertips moved and slid to a hazy area without starlight in the northeast of the Espene star region.

"This is a dust cloud called the Lost Dream Nebula, a nursery of extremely young stars at the edge of the Milky Way."

Alexey said: "According to the natural laws of celestial evolution, it will take at least billions of years for the cosmic dust drifting in this area to gather together due to gravity and give birth to the embryonic form of the first star."

Russell nodded, motioning for her to continue.

Then, the star map in front of the two of them quietly changed, and in the hazy and blurred Lost Dream Nebula, tiny dots of light suddenly appeared.

That is the light of the stars.

"But according to the memory of the Eldar prophet, I learned that for some reason, hundreds of mature stars that seemed to be billions of years old suddenly appeared in the Lost Dream Nebula, and there were even systems of planets orbiting these stars stably."

"And the interstellar dust drifting in this space is not thin at all..."

At this point, Alexei's expression became subtle: "This breaks the law of conservation of matter. These star systems seem to have appeared out of thin air."

Russell lowered his head slightly and stared at the interstellar dust cloud with twinkling stars in the star map.

"Galaxy appeared out of nowhere..." A thought flashed through his mind, and Russell raised his head and looked at Alexei's face.

"There is no webway in this cluster of galaxies that appeared out of nowhere, so the main force of the Eldar of Fordlan Ark is trying to get there by other means." Alexi continued:

"In the memory of this Eldar prophet, there are some vague images of those new galaxies. I can see that there seem to be some artificial machines floating in the space, and there are also traces of human transformation on many planets..."

At this point, there is no need to discuss many things in detail.

These strange galaxies that appeared out of nowhere in the Lost Dream Nebula are galaxies that have been developed by intelligent creatures.

Although he couldn't see Alexi's eyes through the cloth, Russell could feel that her eyes were full of anticipation when she looked at him.

Blame herself. The image Russell created for the Star Bullet was so mysterious that the prophetess naturally thought that perhaps the Star Bullet knew the secrets of this suddenly appeared galaxy cluster?

...I actually know a little bit.

"If the facts are as I think, the importance of this galaxy may far exceed the imagination of all of you." Russell bent down to pick up the small projector that Alexei had placed on the ground and put it into his pocket.

Alexei nodded and looked at him nervously: "What should we do?"

"The Emperor told you to listen to me?" Russell asked.

Alexei nodded: "The Lord of Mankind told me that you will give us guidance."

Ok……

"There is no Webway in the Lost Dream Nebula, and the Eldar who fear Slaanesh do not dare to easily travel through the Warp, so I have a way to get to the nebula before them."

Russell's tone was calm. He took a step forward, looked around at the half-dead Eldar hanging on the wall, and then said, "I need enough manpower, preferably Astartes elites, Mechanicus personnel, Inquisitors with sufficient qualifications, and Psykers... If we can find one or two Sisters of Silence, it would be even better."

Alexei took note of his request carefully, then asked, "Is that all? Do you want me to gather a fleet to escort you?"

"No, your fleet is too slow." Russell said calmly: "I just need manpower...oh and these Eldar, I also need to bring them with me."

Although all the necessary information has been "asked", at least it can still be used as firewood.

After explaining the situation, the two left the secret room.

Alexi hurriedly went to gather manpower for the Star Missile, and mobilized the "Iron Wanderer" regiment of Space Marines stationed on the main star of Nifol with the highest authority, and contacted the Mechanicus in Musbell.

Russell immediately returned to the outer meeting room. He rudely interrupted the conversation between Governor Faya and the noble Nifol, grabbed Gray Wind and Bernadette in each hand, and left in a hurry.

Only the upper nobles who had been chatting happily with them a few minutes ago were left confused for a moment.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Bernadette had no idea what the Star Bullet was doing.

"We need to get back to the Ark of Paradise as quickly as possible." Russell said, slapping Bernatita on the back seat of the shuttle - she was a good boat driver, but not as good as Gray Wind.

Grey Wind and Russell also had a much better understanding of each other. It had no doubts about the Marshal's actions and orders. It sat in the driving seat and started the shuttle very neatly, dragging an extremely tricky trajectory at the maximum speed through the towering hive towers and flew towards the orbital dock above its head.

The Ark of Bliss and the Oracle of Truth were docked there.

"Nirvana's forces are gathering. We will set off immediately after all the personnel arranged by Alexi are on board. We cannot delay for a moment. We..." Russell was explaining the current situation at a very fast speed, but suddenly, he stopped.

"Looking for death..." the Star-shooter muttered to himself.

Almost immediately after he finished speaking, a dazzling flame burst out from the orbital dock above the shuttle.

The dock exploded.

Chapter 79: Iron Wandering Spirit

Gray Wind piloted the shuttle to avoid the massive amount of mechanical debris that was raining down from the track, and continued to rush upwards without slowing down at all.

The psychic mist in Russell's hood twisted and squirmed. From the firelight and smoke, he had already seen the culprit of this attack:

A wraithbone stealth ship piloted by the Fordlan commando team was easily passing through the chaotic orbital defense line of the Nifol main star and rushing straight into the hive city spires in the atmosphere at an extremely fast speed.

This elegant wraithbone warship uses extremely advanced stealth technology, making it completely invisible to all optical scanning and detection technologies. The soul matrix carried on the warship can even interfere with and obscure psychic divinations directed at it.

In orbit, the detonated dock was still burning fiercely, and the crumbling starport fell down and turned into a rain of fire all over the sky; the Eldar stealth ship, which had blocked all scanning and detection, passed over the capital section of the main star of Nifol in a dignified manner, showing off its might.

In this way, the Ark Eldar of Fordlan showed the humans, whom they regarded as monkeys, a glimpse of the advanced psychic technology of the ancient Eldar Empire.

The huge wreckage of countless ships and orbital bases, dragging blazing flames, crashed towards the densely populated hive city. The huge disaster that was about to occur and the huge civilian casualties of hundreds of millions were their revenge for their captured companions.

The elves have always been creatures that hold grudges.

So do humans.

"Ever since those Eldar were captured by the Iron Wanderers, their companions have come to Nirvana from time to time to carry out harassment, sabotage, and rescue operations over the past few years."

Inside the shuttle, Bernadette frowned and suppressed her anger, saying in a puzzled tone, "But their several actions have never really approached the main planet of Nifol. The Eldar's stealth technology can indeed catch us off guard, but once Nifol's powerful orbital defense system reacts, any invaders will have nowhere to escape, and they are bound to fail here..."
