Travel to Warhammer 40K with Grey Wind

But on the battlefield, there was a small boat that had no intention of taking part in the battle at all.

It used its flexible movement to penetrate the front line of the battle, quickly passed the multiple automatic weapon platforms created by the Empire in the Xihe system, and headed straight for the command ship parked at the L-Star Gate.

A tall woman wearing a full set of power armor jumped down from the scarred small ship. The scarlet sword in her hand was still dripping with blood. The serrated blade was stained with blood vessels and nerve knots torn from some unknown creature, and the armor on her body also had many scratches.

"I want to see the prophet." Former Inquisitor Bernadette said to the Iron Wanderer who was standing in front of her, "I have important information to report!"

"If the information you spoke of is really so urgent and important, why didn't you use the communication array provided by the Order of Truth to report it directly to the headquarters?" the other party asked.

This Iron Wanderer himself was born into a noble family in Nifol. He knew very well that no matter how corrupt and incompetent the noble lords in the command center were, they would be able to distinguish the true priorities when war was approaching.

Bernadette tightly grasped the Bloodthirsty Demon Sword in her hand and tried to explain: "On my way back, a small group of Eldar warriors launched a boarding attack on my ship. The communication array on the ship was damaged in the battle, so I had to come here to report the news in person."

This is too far-fetched...

The Iron Wanderer shook his head. Regardless of whether the communication array was damaged or not, if a small boat like this was successfully boarded and attacked by a team of Eldar warriors, it would be hard for him to imagine how Bernatita could have survived.

"I killed them all. I hope to gain your trust." Bernatita said sincerely:

"The situation is really urgent. We have been deceived! The Eldar's attack on Xihe is just a cover. Their real main force has broken through the blockade of the 'Lastig' system and is trying to go deep into the Lost Dreams Star Cluster!"

The Astartes warrior in front of Bernadette turned his head and looked at the main battleship, the Fire of Repentance, which was fighting against the Eldar dreadnought in the distant sky.

Amid the heavy artillery fire, the wild wolves led by Wolf Lord Roselle had already jumped onto the deck of the dreadnought on boarding torpedoes, and were fighting a bloody battle with the Eldar warriors under the heavy fire cover of the rest of the Iron Soul Squad.

The Iron Soul Warrior who stayed behind at the command center slowly turned his head back and looked at Bernatita silently without saying a word.

He said nothing, yet it seemed as if he had said everything.

——The battle taking place in the Xihe galaxy is so fierce, is it possible that this is not the main attack direction of the Eldar?

Chapter 95 Foresight

Although the other party did not say anything rude and his tone was very formal and serious, Bernatita could feel that the Iron Soul Warrior standing in front of her seemed to be in a bad mood.

In fact, it wasn't just him. The entire team that was asked to stay on the command ship to protect the Prophet was in a bad mood.

The Chapter Commander took his brothers to fight the aliens, but he could only hide in the rear and serve as a security guard. No Space Marine would be happy to receive such treatment.

Bernatita used her strong willpower to calm the anger that had ignited in the battle. She then used the Eldar corpses scattered in the cabin and the spirit bone blades inserted in the communication array to prove the authenticity of her words, and gained the trust of the Iron Wandering Souls team, which was in a bad mood.

Among the noble officers in the headquarters was an old acquaintance of Bernatita. Thanks to this relationship, she successfully met the prophetess Alexi.

"I'm glad to see you're back alive." Alexi smiled at Bernadette, whose armor was covered in blood. His beautiful eyes without sight were shining with golden light. "The Supreme Prophet of Fordola was afraid of you, or something you controlled. They set up many obstacles on your way back, but you still broke through them one by one and came to me."

Alexi stood up from her seat, holding up her skirt with both hands, and bowed slightly to Bernadette: "Although it may be a bit offensive, I have to say that I am very happy to see the Eldar trying their best to kill you."

Because the more they don't want Bernadette to return, the greater the threat that Salazar, the Supreme Prophet of Fordlan, sees in her.

This also means that the information Bernatita brought back on this trip is of extremely high value to the Imperial Army.

Bernadette was already used to the gentleness and ruthlessness of the prophetess, so her emotions did not fluctuate at all. She just reported truthfully, "When we were about to enter the Xihe system, a small group of Eldar launched a boarding attack on my ship. They consisted of 6 'Howling Banshees', 1 'Bishop', and 2 'War Witches'. The moment they entered the cabin, they immediately killed the astropath and navigator on the ship, and then destroyed the communication array - and finally attacked me."

It's amazing, how did you escape?" Based on Alexei's understanding of the Eldar, even the most elite Astartes veterans would never be able to survive such an attack.

"I killed them all," said Bernadette.

Alexei saw that she didn't want to talk about the details of the battle, so he didn't ask any more questions and instead brought the topic to the point: "So, what was the news that you went through so much hardship and risked your life to bring back to us?"

"We have been deceived. The Eldar's attack on Xihe is a cover. The real main force of Fordlan Arkworld is actually..."

"They actually took advantage of the fact that the imperial garrison was left empty-handed by the withdrawal of its troops, and forcibly broke through the defense line and headed deeper into the Lost Dream Star Cluster, right?"

Alexey put his slender white index finger in front of Bernatita's lips and said in a gentle voice like a young mother singing a lullaby to her beloved child: "Is this all you want to say?"

"So you knew..." Bernadette gasped. Why did the prophetess forcibly summon all the imperial defenders to defend the system and leave the defense line empty when she knew that the Eldar's attack on the Xihe system was just a feint?

"If it were just this matter, it would not be enough for the powerful psychic who is revered as the Supreme Prophet by the Eldar to pay so much attention to you." Alexi did not intend to answer her question, but continued to ask: "Think about it carefully, okay? Think about it, do you have some information about the Eldar's next move that we don't know?"

“I…” Bernadette was stunned for a few seconds. She didn’t know what important key she had grasped, so she could only take a long breath and start from the beginning:

"In the past few years, during the long tug-of-war between the Imperial defenders and the Eldar, I have been traveling around with the scientific expedition team of the Adeptus Mechanicus and other inquisitors, investigating various indigenous worlds, and occasionally tracking down the scout teams sent by the Eldar..."

"After investigating multiple galaxies and indigenous planets, a technical priest and I concluded a pattern - the galaxies in the Lost Dreams Cluster are distributed in a spiral shape. The indigenous worlds outside the spiral are very backward and primitive; while the indigenous worlds inside the galaxy cluster are relatively advanced. We have even discovered two indigenous civilizations in the early industrial age."

"After a long investigation, we believe that the closer the indigenous people are to the center of the vortex, the more civilized they are."

This is indeed information that the Imperial garrison, who are busy guarding against Eldar attacks, cannot know... Alexi nodded thoughtfully: "Can you tell me the name of the technical priest who worked with you to summarize this law?"

"His name is Lancifa and he is from Falla," Bernatita answered.

"It turned out to be him." Alexei nodded slightly.

Bernadette was greatly surprised: "...You know Lancifa? He is just an unknown person who was promoted to a technical priest not long ago. You actually know him?"

Alexi smiled and said, "Because not long ago, at the beginning of the offensive and defensive battle, the attacking fleet of the Eldar of the Fordlan Ark ignored an important weapon platform that was close at hand and instead focused its fire on destroying a very inconspicuous small spaceship."

Such an abnormal incident would naturally attract her attention.

There was a Tech-Priest on that ship named Lancifa."

It was not until this moment that Bernatita truly realized how important the information she possessed was.

Just as she was sighing with emotion, suddenly, a striking blood-red emergency communication came into the quantum communication array in front of the prophetess.

Alexei did not avoid Bernatita who was present, and directly accepted the communication. The communication was brief and the message was simple, but it was horrifying:

"Aurora, the inner star system of Espenes, was attacked by the Eldar fleet. The L-gate has been lost, and they are preparing to attack Faya!"

Looking at the eye-catching blood-red font projected on the communication array, Bernatita remembered a very insignificant piece of information she had obtained a long time ago when the Imperial Army had not yet entered the Lost Dream Nebula and she was still with the Star Bullet and Russell:

"The patrol fleet of the Aurora system once briefly captured traces of a suspected Eldar warship in a desolate system around Aurora. They believe that there is a suspected entrance to the webway in that star region."

It's not just a suspicion now, Aurora has already been lost.

"Fortunately, the Imperial fleets scattered across the Lost Dreams Star Cluster are returning to defend Xihe. We will soon be able to obtain sufficient forces to support Faya and defend the main gate of the L-Gate..."

At this time, Bernadette finally understood how forward-looking Alexi's decision was; the prophetess might not be able to truly see the future trend, but she could always make the right response to the future.

Chapter 96: The Silk-Entangled Person

"Not long ago, I received a revelation from His Majesty the Divine Emperor. I know that Aurora will suffer from the attacks and sufferings of the Eldar, but I don't know the specific time and method."

Alexei spoke softly, shutting down the emergency communication on the communication array. Then, while urging the imperial army to gather as soon as possible, he said to Bernadette: "I know that the Eldar led by the Supreme Prophet Salazar will attack Aurora, and Salazar knows that I know."

This is an open conspiracy, and an open conspiracy is not afraid of the other party knowing it.

The Aurora Galaxy is located in the heart of the Espenes star region, connecting multiple resource-rich areas, and has very important strategic significance. This is why it, along with the core galaxy Nirvana and the mineral galaxy Ask, became one of the first galaxies to be connected to the L-Stargate network.

Such a strategic location is garrisoned by a very complete permanent defense force. She couldn't imagine how the Eldar had taken over the L-Gate at lightning speed, but what was certain was that the Eldar's next target would be the main gate in Faya, which must not be lost.

Even though she knew that an Eldar fleet was waiting for an opportunity to cross the defense line, she had to urgently mobilize forces and take the initiative to make the defense line built by the Imperial defenders empty.

"Even though we know that the Eldar's attack on Xihe is just a bluff and their main force is planning to cross the defense line and go deep into the Lost Dream Nebula, we must let the fleet gather here. You and I both understand the importance of the main gate."

"Besides, the Eldar's attack here is not a feint."

Alexi's two brief and plain sentences clarified the mentality of the Eldar of the Fordlan Ark towards this war.

"Being able to capture the well-defended inner galaxy Aurora in a very short period of time shows that the Ark Eldar of Fordlan have invested a powerful force there that cannot be underestimated."

"The Eldar fleet I saw in the Lustig system that broke through the defenses and headed for the depths of the Lost Dreams Star Cluster was also unprecedentedly large in scale. Except for the lack of Arkworld ships, it can almost be confirmed that it is the backbone of the Eldar of the Fordlan Ark."

"And at this moment, the Eldar's attack on Xihe is so fierce that it has gone beyond the scope of a feint..."

The offensive was divided into three, and each attacking team was so powerful that there was no doubt that the Eldar of the Ark of Fordlan had mobilized all their forces, moved out all their assets, and mobilized every Eldar warrior, and they came out in full force.

During the long time that Bernatita served as an Inquisitor, she had many contacts with the Eldar. She had never seen an Craft World put all its strength into a war. Those cowardly people who always tried to protect themselves seldom had such a decisive moment of going all out.

There is now.

"Even if we know what they are going to do next, can we only watch and let the Eldar go deep into the Dreamless Star Cluster to find the artifact? Will we get what we want?" After knowing the overall situation of the battle, Bernadette began to feel discouraged. After many years, this feeling of despair and powerlessness enveloped her again.

"There's really nothing we can do, but he won't."

Alexi placed his hands on his chest, his violet eyes revealing an almost crazy devout worship: "Everything I told you has actually been mastered by the Star-Ballist. He possesses absolute power and vast wisdom. The Eldar army that crosses the defense line may not have to face the wrath of the Empire. What they will face is that great existence that is like a god..."

The fanatical look of the prophetess gave Bernadette goose bumps all over her body. Although Alexei was also a believer of the state religion, it was the first time that Bernadette saw her showing such an insane look, just like the state religion charlatan who witnessed the emperor's apparition.

"The information you requested has been delivered. Now, I should leave now."

Bernatita took a deep breath, put on the helmet on the table again, turned around and left with the Bloodthirsty Demon Sword, and continued to rush to the battlefield.

The attack and defense of the Xihe star gate is still going on. As the assembled reinforcements arrive one after another, the Eldar's attacks that always hit the vital points have caused the Imperial Army to suffer heavy casualties. The power of the Eldar is also being consumed. The situation has begun to become stalemate and then began to tilt in favor of the Imperial Army. Alexi has begun to dispatch ships to pass through the L-gate to support Faya.

After the imperial garrison was withdrawn, on the other side of the outer defense line of the star cluster where the defense force was empty, an elegant and agile fleet of wraithbone ships was cruising in the nebula.

Just as Bernadette said, this Eldar fleet was indeed the backbone of the Eldar of the Fordlan Ark. Among them were several gigantic Leviathan-class battleships, and there were countless small and medium-sized ships escorting them. Their movements were as agile as those of fish, and they swam in groups towards the center of the vortex like mysterious elves wandering in the sea of ​​stars.

The comprehensive action of the Eldar of the Ark of Fordlan was planned by the Supreme Prophet Salazar himself. This respected elder has gone too far on the path of prophecy and cannot turn back. He left the Council of Prophets on the Ark World Ship and personally led this fleet of spirit bones to the gate of the new world, the entrance to the pure land.

In the center of the school of fish, on the Leviathan "Void Dragon" surrounded by a group of small warships, the Supreme Prophet "Salazar" wearing a robe and a mask silently stared at the hazy starry sky in front of him that was blurred by the nebula.

He enjoyed and cherished the present moment when he could safely observe the thread of fate.

"A few years ago, when we first came here, the thread of fate in the Lost Dream Nebula seemed to have been manipulated by some powerful being, becoming tangled and knotted."

Salazar said to himself, "At that time, whether it was observing fate or predicting the future, it was very difficult and even life-threatening."

At the foot of the steps where the Supreme Prophet stood, an Eldar warrior wearing full armor and a mask that he could never take off half-knelt on the ground, listening to the words of the Prophet and whispering: "No matter how turbulent the waves are, they will eventually dissipate."

Salazar nodded slightly.

It cast its gaze towards the hazy nebula in front of the "Void Dragon". In the eyes of this supreme prophet, the starry sky is never empty. Endless threads are floating in the Lost Dream Star Cluster, which are the "fate" that binds all intelligent creatures.

After the disappearance of the being called "Star-Ballist" by the human monkeys, the ripples of fate gradually subsided. He and the Council of Prophets tried their best to straighten out the thread of fate in the nebula, making it possible to observe fate here.

However, until recently, when the Fordola Ark World sent out numerous reconnaissance teams and discovered that the development level of the indigenous civilization in the star cluster was inversely proportional to the distance from the center of the vortex, the prophets also observed a strange phenomenon:

With no noticeable change in the number of imperial defenders, the threads of fate in the Lost Dreams Star Cluster were constantly increasing and becoming denser, and these countless threads of fate were all drifting towards the same place.

Or rather, they extend from the same point.

"Pure Land..." Salazar called softly.

Chapter 97 Locusts crossing the border

While the Imperial defenders were struggling to resist the Eldar attacks from the Xihe and Aurora star systems, the Supreme Prophet Salazar led all the remaining wraith fleets to travel in the hazy interstellar dust.

The imperial defenders' defense line separated the southwestern arm of the Lost Dreams Cluster from the inner core of the cluster, but as long as they crossed the defense line, the vast star field behind it would be at their disposal for them to explore.

There were no obstacles along the way. Under the guidance of the prophet, the Wraithbone Fleet sailed unimpeded along the micro-cantilever to the center of the vortex. Since entering the Lost Dream Nebula, their operations have never been so smooth.
