Travel to Warhammer 40K with Grey Wind

Compared with their unyielding struggle against orcs and chaos in the starry sky and fighting alone in the past years, this war in the Nebula of Lost Dreams at this moment is simply a kind of enjoyment for the space fighters, a downright cool game.

Who could have imagined that one day the Astartes would actually enjoy war with the Eldar?

As the battle progressed, a strange rumor began to spread quietly among the imperial army of the Lost Dream Nebula:

The Starbombs long to burn the psychic dust gained by the Eldar.

As long as you can capture enough Eldar individuals or provide enough finished psychic dust, you can buy all kinds of advanced weapons, vehicles, armor and even precious

It is said that Archmagos Kost handed over all the Eldar Ranger captives captured by the Mechanicus in the Droven System to the Confraternity of Truth, in exchange for the STC-standard construction template for a powerful weapon called the "Ion Disruptor Cannon".

No one knows where this rumor came from, but the warriors and technical priests stationed on the two battlecruisers, the Ark of Bliss and the Oracle of Truth, confirmed the powerful power of psychic dust as an energy source by observing the operation of the psychic shields and various psychic equipment on the ships.

Although no one in the Imperial Army has ever directly acknowledged the truth of the rumor; although the Great Sage Coster of the Forge World Musbel claimed that this was an insult to his reputation, he vowed to find out who was spreading the rumor and punish them.

However, whether it was the naval generals who were busy deploying troops, or the Inquisitors who continued to roam around the battlefield and occasionally assist in the battle, or even the Space Wolves and the Crimson Upstarts who were the Emperor's Angels of Death...

They all patrolled back and forth in various galaxies like sharks smelling blood, keeping a high level of vigilance and looking for traces of the Eldar.

The Eldar of the Fordlan Ark didn't know why the Human Imperial Army was so crazy, nor did they know where their highly destructive weapons and equipment came from. The only thing they could be sure of was that as time went by, the influence of the Star Missile on the war situation was gradually fading.

The Empire's military advantage in the Lost Dream Nebula lasted for several years. Until now, the Eldar scouts and their prophets have finally discovered the secret of the Imperial Army's rapid assembly through risking their lives and psychic divination:

——There is also an L-gate in the Lost Dream Nebula.

——There are two advanced warships in the Imperial Navy that are suspected to be able to ignore the influence of the subspace and freely jump between galaxies.

The Eldar's evaluation of this result is: this group of prodigal monkeys who only know how to eat the legacy of past times...

The Eldar had witnessed the golden age of mankind, and knew how brilliant achievements and advanced technology these crude and savage monkeys they looked down upon had achieved. The Eldar of the Ark of Fordlan had a deep understanding of this, in particular.

They naturally identified the L-gate and the two warships equipped with jump engines as relics of the dark ages of human technology, and made a series of tactical plans for them.

Chapter 93 Broken String

The war was prolonged by endless guerrilla harassment and war of attrition.

With the huge size of the army and the high-speed route brought by the L-Stargate, the Imperial Army continued to gain a series of tactical victories and advantages in the Lost Dream Nebula. However, in terms of the larger strategy, it did not achieve any substantial results.

the reason is simple:

The goal of Fordola Ark World was never to occupy or capture any planet in this galaxy cluster, but to investigate. They wanted to find the location of the "Pure Land", the method to enter the Pure Land, and the clues about the "key" that could control the Pure Land from the natives living in the Lost Dream Star Cluster.

Therefore, the Eldar's forces were extremely dispersed, and their offensive was disorganized. Although the Space Wolves led by Wolf Lord Roselle were fierce enough, and the warriors of the Crimson Upstarts were constantly winning battles again and again among the stars, but...

Apart from capturing and annihilating a small number of Eldar teams and obtaining some precious psychic dust, these victories actually have no practical significance for the Empire.

On the contrary, the Imperial Army needs to maintain a complete defense line on a star cluster scale for a long time, consuming a considerable amount of logistical resources every month, continuously spending a large amount of military expenditure, and bleeding each other with the Eldar of the Fordlan Ark.

The difference is that the Eldar bleed slowly, while the Imperials have more health.

Every discerning person in the Imperial Army can see that such a stalemate will not last forever. One day in the future, that thin string will break and the war situation will change.

The question is, when will the string that connects everyone break, and how will it break?

Nobody knows.

In the increasingly solemn atmosphere, the string of war is getting tighter and tighter.

In the center of the Critical Base Galaxy, the construction of the Quantum Slingshot is also progressing steadily.

The overall shape of the slingshot is a huge hollow cube mechanical frame.

The 12 sides trap the star inside, and each of the eight vertices contains a torsion lens that captures the pulse's energy.

Under the leadership of Suzheng Host and Russell's bored supervision, it took two and a half years for the construction of the slingshot to enter the final stage:

Six of the eight torsion lenses have been installed, and once the last two lenses are assembled, this giant structural project can be declared completed.

It was at this time that Russell, who was squatting on the hatching planet playing with Coronie, received an interesting piece of news.

"Just now, the Eldar of Fordlan Ark launched the largest frontal attack on the Imperial defense line in the Lost Dream Nebula since we left the Lost Dream Nebula."

Gray Wind stood on the thick scarlet fungal carpet on the surface of the hatching planet, folded his hands across his chest, and spoke in a calm and serious working tone:

"The number of troops deployed by the Eldar this time has exceeded the total number of all the reconnaissance teams dispatched in the past few years, and the vast majority are frontal attack teams, with only a very small number of flanking harassment teams and logistics support fleets..."

Russell narrowed his eyes and listened quietly to Gray Wind's report on the enemy's troop composition, combat deployment, etc.; while listening, he pulled out a branch from a large bundle of emerald green branches under him and fed it to the Life-Shaping Queen who was crawling obediently beside him.

Coroniai opened his mouth carefully and swallowed the tender branch in Russell's hand into his throat. His fine pharyngeal teeth broke the stem and crushed the buds, making a faint chewing sound.

This is Russell's reward for its hard work during this period.

It seemed that because its master was supervising right next to it, Coronia worked extra hard. It completed the construction of the Zerg biological mothership before the slingshot was completed, and created a large number of Zerg carrier-based aircraft and adult combat ships.

The electromagnetic pulses within the critical base galaxy have become very weak, and these ferocious biological weapons are now parked outside the planetary shield above their heads, waiting for Russell's instructions.

A juicy young branch was quickly eaten by Coronie like a finger biscuit. Russell pulled out another one and fed it. At this time, Gray Wind's report was completed.

Russell was a little confused as he looked at Huifeng, who was standing straight in front of him with a serious and meticulous expression:

"Grey Wind?"

"Hmm?" Huifeng looked at him puzzledly: "What's wrong?"

"I feel like you're not in a good state today..." Russell touched the hard chitinous carapace on Coronie's head thoughtfully, and then asked, "Are you worried about something?"

"Is there?" Now Huifeng was also confused.

It thought for a moment, then said, "If there's anything that's on my mind, it should be the Suzheng host? I'm still worried about the risk of it getting out of control..."

"Is that so?" Russell felt that Grey Wind was just trying to fool him.

Koroni chewed the leaves in his mouth carefully and said softly, "Master, I don't think it looks like..."

"Don't interrupt." Russell slapped Coronie lightly on the back of his head. The voice of this big insect was so soft and charming that it made his scalp tingle.

Coronie was startled by his pat, so she quickly lowered her head and concentrated on chewing without saying anything.

If it were the old one, it would have collapsed to the ground and trembled with fear. But after spending some time together, Coronie understood that his master was not a cruel person, but rather... gentle.

It just has a bad habit of teasing the sensitive parts on its head.

Gray Wind watched this scene without interrupting. He just bit his lower lip and continued in a clear voice, "Except for the risk of the Suzheng mainframe losing control, I don't have any other worries that can be called a concern."

"Okay." Russell chose to believe Grey Wind.

"So, could you please tell me where the main target of this large-scale attack by the Eldar is?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gray Wind's body and expression froze.

Yes, where is it?

It was not until then that Grey Wind realized that he had given the Marshal all the information on the size of the Eldar main attack force, the composition of the fleet, the tactical rhythm, etc. The information in the report seemed extremely detailed, but he even forgot to mention the most basic information, such as where the Eldar were attacking.

"So I think you are worried about something..." Russell stood up and patted Gray Wind's face to relax his tense expression.

Then, he smiled helplessly: "Although you didn't say it, I know from just thinking that the main target of the Eldar should be the Xihe system."

That is the triple star system where the L-gate is located.

The Eldar of Fordlan Ark were unaware that the Mechanicus of Esberness had in their hands a complete set of L-Stargate sub-gate construction drawings.

In their perception, such facilities should be ancient relics left over from the dark ages of human technology, and if one is destroyed, there will be one less.

Therefore, the Eldar of the Fordlan Ark planned such a large-scale three-dimensional offensive with both light and darkness after knowing the location of the star gate.

Destroying the L-Gate would be like breaking the legs of the Imperial Army, turning them back into the poor monkeys forced to navigate between life and death.

Chapter 94 Main Attack

The Eldar believe that the L-Gate in the Xihe system is important, and in fact it is indeed important, but not as important as they think. At least, it is not important enough that destroying a gate can paralyze the logistics and troop deployment of the Imperial Army.

Because since Grey Wind deployed the first L-Gate in the Xihe System, the fleet that rushed to the Lost Dreams Cluster also included several mechanical repair ships from the forge world Musbell. In other words, the imperial defenders at this time had the power to repair or directly rebuild an L-Gate.

However, the resources required to build a stargate are very high, and due to cost and practical considerations, they did not immediately build a second one.

After seeing the purpose of the attack by the Eldar of the Fordlan Ark and knowing that the stargate could be repaired by the mechanical repair society even if it was accidentally damaged, the Wolf Lord of the Space Wolves, Roselle, made a suggestion: he believed that the Imperial garrison stationed in the Xihe system could pretend to retreat first.

The L-Star Gate, which is the lifeline of the defenders, is tempting enough to lure the enemy deep into the territory. Once the main attacking forces of the Eldar have all entered the Xihe system, they can then close the encirclement and annihilate them in one fell swoop.

The opponent is the agile and elusive Eldar fleet. At this time, encirclement and annihilation is undoubtedly a response measure worth trying.

But Alexei rejected the proposal.

She ignored the opposition and transferred most of the Imperial garrisons deployed in various parts of the Lost Dreams Star Cluster from their posts, ordering them to immediately assemble in the Xihe system where the star gate was located to resist the main attack of the Eldar.

Alexei showed a tough attitude of "protecting the star gate at all costs".

This is exactly what the Eldar of the Fordlan Ark believe the Imperial Army should do when protecting their lifeline.

Many officers expressed dissatisfaction with this decision, because such a hasty assembly of forces would inevitably disrupt the existing tactical deployment, and the defense of other star systems outside Xihe would become weak.

Moreover, the Eldar's army is already within reach. Instead of hastily mobilizing the troops scattered in the Lost Dream Nebula, it would be more convenient to ask for help from Nirvana directly through the L-Gate.

The officers had many legitimate reasons to refuse the order, but the Emperor's prophetess' authority was absolute.

The Space Marines, led by the Iron Wanderer Chapter Captain Clementine, led the fleet stationed in the Xihe system and launched the first wave of confrontation with the main attack force of the Eldar. At the same time, the garrison fleets of other system also set out under the strong command of the prophetess to defend the star gate.

Countless combat ships activated the Geller force field at the same time, the roaring engines tore open the curtain of reality, and they began to make relatively safe short-distance subspace jumps.

While the defense fleet hastily jumped into the warp, the Fordlan Eldar fleet began its frontal attack on Xihe.

Large, slender, gracefully curved warships with wide fan-shaped structures similar to fish fins at their tails emerged from the nebula, like a school of nimble fish swimming in the nebula.

The reason why the Eldar warships have such a seemingly meaningless fin-like structure is said to be because the warp was relatively calm in the early years, without so many high waves. The Eldar can use the fins on the ship to ride the energy flow of the warp and sail freely in the sea of ​​souls without consuming extra energy.

In comparison, the behavior of humans using the warp engine to forcibly tear apart reality and crash the cathedral into the sea of ​​souls was really vulgar and barbaric.

However, the Eldar no longer dare to travel in the Warp, and these graceful wraithbone fins on the warships have become decorations.

The Eldar fleet that invaded the Xihe system was led by a Leviathan-class dreadnought battleship, as well as several Shadow Gun cruisers and rift destroyers. More of them were small frigates and missile destroyers.

As soon as this group of graceful wraithbone warships, like a school of fish, appeared within the range, the Imperial Army activated all the weapons in their hands to fight back.

The war has begun.

Although the Eldar are small in number and their fleet is not large, their individual soldier quality and ship performance are far superior to those of the Imperial garrison. In addition, the interference of interstellar dust on space travel and probes makes the Eldar's actions even more unpredictable.

As soon as the battle began, the unpredictable high-speed maneuvers and roving attacks of the wraithbone warships caused the imperial defenders to suffer the first wave of heavy losses.

The continuous artillery fire burned the dust scattered among the galaxies. A subspace rift was torn open at the Mandeville Point in the Xihe galaxy. The first support fleet that successfully returned to defend had arrived and quickly joined this star gate attack and defense battle that seemed to be at my advantage, but also at my disadvantage.

Naval guns minced meat, boarding ships and boarding, today's galaxy is also being devastated by war, just like usual.
