Travel to Warhammer 40K with Grey Wind

"It's the Khorne army and the Void Whales again. What exactly does Tzeentch want to do?"

The situation was becoming more and more chaotic, and Grey Wind felt that the current situation was even more unpredictable. It couldn't help but think: If the Marshal was still here, he would definitely be able to make a reasonable judgment on the chaotic situation. It was a pity that Russell said he was going to visit the Brass Fortress, and then he jumped into the subspace and disappeared, and no one knew when he would come back.

Huifeng inexplicably felt like a resentful woman waiting for her husband who was out fooling around to come home.

In the webway, the Zerg and the Blood God's army were still slaughtering each other. The skulls cut off by the bloodletters had been piled up into a mountain. Although the Zerg had no such thing as souls, their skulls constructed of spirit bones could provide high-quality Infernal shells for the skull cannons of the Khorne army.

This is very important to the vampires, because the skull cannon that looks like an armored vehicle unit is actually an angry Khorne troll all the time. If there are not enough skulls as artillery shells to vent its anger, the troll will gnaw on the heads of nearby friendly forces - usually vampires - and swallow them directly into its stomach as artillery shells.

The Master of the Brass Fortress desires skulls, no matter whose skull they are.

In the meat-crushing battle with the Khorne army, the Coroniai seemed very excited. It kept smashing more biological ships into the battlefield. More than 50 million land-based Zerg swarms, each with its own duties, rushed to the Brass Line. The endless War Butchers and Bio-Titans greatly slowed down the marching speed of the Khorne army. Every minute, thousands of Khorne demons were killed by the Zerg butcher units and exiled back to the warp.

This also bought time for the Gray Gu carrier-based aircraft to explore the end of the webway in another direction.

In the real universe outside the webway, the Gray Goo mothership is on guard against other possible threats around the galaxy, while continuously firing light spears at the crystalline planets that should be blasted open by it, trying to destroy the Tombstone Gate's self-defense system.

Gray Wind's voice sounded amid the roar of the main gun energy array, and he seemed a little anxious: "Coroniai, I have just successfully separated a large amount of familiar psychic spectrum from the mixed biological signals of the void whales. That is the characteristic of the Tzeentch demon."

"Huh? Are the Tzeentch demons controlling these Void Whales in some way?" Coroniel, who was busy fighting on the ground, had no idea about the information provided by Grey Wind.

"I don't know, but after observation, we can be sure that this group of Void Whales avoided the many forks in the upstream of the Webway and headed straight here. Their target is likely the star core." Gray Wind warned: "We can't expect the Void Whales to just pass by. They seem to want to pass through the Tombstone Gate and come to the physical universe... After getting so close, they will most likely attack us directly."

The Void Whale species has been too deeply affected by the Warp. Not only the whale itself, but the sensors of the Gray Gu carrier-based aircraft have also detected a large number of faint biological signals from the bodies of these star beasts, which seem to be there and not there when mixed in the misty Warp energy.

The 600 million Zerg biological warships brought by Coronia suffered heavy losses in previous battles and Warp turbulence. If they were only facing the Khorne army, they could still fight back. But if the Void Whales and the "passengers" inside were taken into account, it would be hard to say which direction the battle would go.

"I understand. I'm prepared for the worst," Kronie replied formally, "The Hive World Ship 'Fódlan' is sailing at warp speed and is expected to arrive in 8 hours."

"Got it. I will continue to try to destroy the Tombstone Gate. If I fail until the Void Whale swims out of the star core, I will fight with both the starship and the Hive World Ship."

Grey Wind also responded in a formal work tone: "The Truth Order ship that evacuated earlier has returned to Faya. You should also prepare for evacuation. It is best to drive the Hive World Ship into the Webway for refuge as well."

The size of the Void Whales is too huge. If the situation becomes unfavorable to us, I will have to activate some destructive weapons."

Chapter 153: Saint's Expedition to the West

After a long warp voyage, the expedition fleet, which had lost dozens of Swordfish frigates and several Sailfish research vessels, returned to Falla.

Many high-ranking technical priests also returned with them. In the previous battles with the Death Stalkers, the Mechanicus's forge ships were either destroyed by the Eumenides' powerful shipboard firepower or hit by the Space Marines' boarding torpedoes. The Death Stalkers seized control of several Mechanicus and research vessels through boarding battles.

In a sense, this was actually a good thing for the technical priests. On the way back to Faya, they were able to fully experience an inter-galactic warp flight.

Upon learning that the "curvature bubble" that allowed the ship to enter a state of physical superluminal speed was driven by a biological wetware engine called a brain worm, the biological sage "Igranu" who held a high position on the forge world Musbel fell into great happiness.

Igranu's main academic field is neurobiology, so he is particularly interested in how the brain worm wetware uses its powerful nervous system to distort space and create curvature bubbles that are large enough for space battleships to travel through interstellar space.

After the death of the research director and the disappearance of Alphonse, Lysitia became the nominal organizer of the expedition fleet. Igranu completely ignored the sadness and loss that lingered among the truth monks after the death of his colleagues, and still clung to Lysitia as the most fanatical believer, using all possible excuses to get permission to study the brain worm wetware.

As for those Eldar banshees who took off their armor in the medical cabin, revealing their graceful, scarred figures?

God of all things, isn't that a sub-human that has been enhanced through special surgery? With the academic reputation of Musbell's chief biological sage, it is a human. How can a two-meter-tall human with pointed ears not be a human?

The biological sage Igranu was still pestering the already upset Lysitia, and the technical priests who were busy all the time in the cabin were annoyed to her.

These guys, who had been mechanically modified to the point where they could hardly be recognized as human beings, were clearly high-ranking priests of high status in the forging world of Musbell. However, after entering the Sailfish research vessel, they acted like naughty kids who went to a convenience store for the first time, flipping around and looking at things. They were full of interest in the various sophisticated facilities and even the predictive interfaces on the ship.

The air seemed to be filled with the smell of burning from the short circuit of their wires due to excessive excitement. Lysitia was a little suspicious. If they couldn't beat them, these oil guys would probably want to dismantle the entire ship and take it back to Musbell to lick it... and study it.

"Ms. Lystia, what have you considered?"

Just as Lysitia found an empty rest cabin to rest for a while, that familiar voice - Igranu - came closer again.

As a biological sage specializing in the field of neurobiology, Igranu did not have many mechanical modifications on her body. At least Lysitia could still tell her gender from the curve of her pelvis and the breasts that had not been removed.

Having also undergone biological modification, Igranu's body shape is closer to that of a preacher who has undergone integrated prosthetic modification rather than a mechanical sage without a human form. This makes the monks of truth feel less alienated from her subconsciously.

But that was all. The materialistic monks had absolutely no extra affection for the Mechanicus, the cyber clerics who worshiped Mecha.

In the empty rest cabin, Igranu sat down next to Lysitia without any hesitation. The distance between them was so close that she could hear the insignificant and almost completely silent sound of the singularity reactor in her chest.

"Ms. Lystia, I can sign a confidentiality agreement and swear in the name of the God of All Machines that I will never reveal any secrets learned here. Musbell has always been hostile to Embra, but I can also stand on the side of the Star Bullet and use my channels to lobby the top leaders within Musbell. I can also..."

"As long as it's what I have and what I can do, everything I have can be put on the table as a bargaining chip, as long as... I can even abandon my faith in the God of All Machines and join the Order of Truth! As long as, as long as I can get a complete brain worm wetware biological engine for research..."

Igranu became more and more excited as she spoke. The servo skull behind her tried to report some information to her several times but was interrupted every time. The biological sage's breathing was as rapid as dry wood and fire that was about to be ignited. Lysitia felt that she might lose control at any time and pounce on her and press her to the bed.

"You just said you swore in the name of the God of All Things to keep the secret, and now you're saying you can abandon your faith in the God of All Things and join us at any time. This... isn't good, is it?"

Lysitia didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Besides, whether the brain worm wetware can be opened to outsiders for research is not something I have the authority to decide. The biological engine was given by the leader himself, and even we don't fully understand how it works. This will be an important topic in the future..."

"God... Star Bullet! Miss Lystia, doesn't this prove that you need my assistance in your research? I'm not bragging, but in the field of biological research, there is no one who can match me in the entire Far East!"

Igranu completely ignored Lysitia's words that she did not have the relevant authority, and began to boast about her academic achievements in an extremely exaggerated tone, hoping to prove how much help she could bring to the future research of the Order of Truth.

"Even if you say so, I still don't have the authority... I've always been disliked in the order." Lystia was particularly tired:

"And it's useless for you to tell me more, right? It's meaningless. If you really want to study the brain worm wetware, you can directly apply to join the Terra expedition - oh, you call it the 'Saints' expedition to the west'? It doesn't matter."

"The Saint's Expedition to the West?" Igrenu finally calmed down a little: "What does this have to do with the biological engine I want to study?"

So you didn't know, no wonder... Lystia thought for a moment and said:

"It is like this. In order to deliver the L-Gate construction template to Holy Terra, the Prophetess summoned 13 Astartes Chapters and almost all the military forces of the entire Far Eastern Frontier to form 13 expeditionary forces heading to Terra from 13 directions."

"Our leader promised to provide each expedition with a capital ship equipped with a warp drive, and to help the flagships of the 13 chapters upgrade and modify them free of charge, and also install biological warp drives."

Igranu and the servoskull behind her were silent.

"So if you really want to study brain worm wetware, why don't you apply to be stationed in a certain chapter flagship and become the chief technical advisor? There are 13 chapters. If you are really capable, you can choose any one of them... That's not right. We have already had a blood feud with the Death Stalkers. The leader probably won't provide warships for this chapter?" Lysitia said in an uncertain tone.

In that case, only 13 of the 12 expeditionary forces will be able to get the support of the Queen of Glory and the warp drive.

154.I'm sorry

Take a day off

I'm not feeling well, so I'll take a day off.

Chapter 154: Ring of Destruction

After getting Lysitia's promise or pie, Igranu finally felt a little at ease.

The Axe of Ohm Messiah leaning against the bedside was preciously silent. The expedition fleet, which had broken away from warp speed, dragged a light blue stream of light through the outer ring defense of the galaxy. After the identity verification by the patrol team, it returned directly to a vibrant blue-green planet - Faya.

Today, the prosperous and wealthy Faya is no longer the desolate place it was a hundred years ago. The Order of Truth, which controls the Southern Continent, one of the two main continents of the planet, has also come to the fore and become a semi-public organization tacitly acknowledged by all parties.

As the L-gate network gradually covers the entire Euspines sector, merchant ships loaded with cargo frequently travel back and forth in the bustling terminal exit system, forcing the technical priests responsible for maintaining the Wayshow Statue and the system defense forces who patrol the system all year round to work in shifts frequently to barely cope with the situation.

If it were me, I would probably protest because of the high workload... and then be declared disloyal by the Inquisition, Lysitia thought.

As they approached their destination, the war-scarred frigates and research vessels shut down their engines and anchored themselves in the planet's synchronous orbit.

Transport planes flew out from the belly of the Sailfish research vessel, carrying the large number of undead creations obtained by the expedition team from the Flare Galaxy back to the headquarters of the order on the southern continent, as well as the two satellites orbiting in Faya orbit, the First Moon and the Second Moon.

Both of these satellites were completely mined out over the long years in the past. The Order of Truth invested a lot of resources in these two hollowed-out celestial bodies and transformed them into two sturdy space defense fortresses and research bases that can also be used as star ports.

From a distance, they look like two space cities floating in the sky.

In the middle of the orbits of the two space cities, a giant circular machine that is larger than the space city itself is quietly rotating.

"What is that?" The biological sage Igranu was a little confused. She knew very well that before she set out with the forge fleet to the Flare Galaxy for archaeological research, there was no such a strange-looking giant ship parked in Faya's orbit.

There is no imperial logo on the giant ship. It is not the work of any forge world.

It was indeed an extremely peculiar warship, its main body even larger than the largest existing battleship in the Far East, the Flame of Repentance, and it was equipped with a huge main gun that seemed too exaggerated and meaningless even to her, a sage of the Mechanicus. What kind of target could such an oversized main gun be used to attack? Was it really useful in actual combat?

In addition to the warship itself, which had specifications far exceeding those of the Glorious Queen-class battleship, this exaggerated giant ship was also connected to a huge mechanical ring structure with itself as the center. Igrenu speculated that this might be a balancer that provided energy buffering and maintained balance for the ship when the main guns were fired.

Including this hollow mechanical ring, its diameter is already larger than the Space City No. 2 in the Falla orbit.

"That is a colossus built by Anti-Entropy. We call it the 'Ring of Destruction'." Lysitia explained.

Igranu nodded slightly. She wanted to ask more about the "Ring of Destruction", but she saw that she was tidying her clothes and was ready to get off the boat.

"Anti-entropy... Miss Lystia, excuse me, but what are you going to do?" asked Igranu.

"You'd better go to Musbell as soon as possible to apply for stationing on a certain regiment's flagship, sage. I have my own things to do." Lysitia said, taking off her white coat stained with blood and dust, and changing into a rather formal slim dress. Her long hair that was scattered on her shoulders was tied into a high ponytail.

Just a change in attire transformed her entire demeanor from that of a casual scientist to that of a capable diplomat.

Lysitia pulled out the authorization document with a regular tetrahedron pattern from the lining of her underwear and walked towards the exit of the rest cabin.

"This is the mission given to me by the leader, and it is also my own will."

She walked with precise steps and said, "While investigating the pyramid ruins in the Flare Galaxy, we were attacked by the Death Stalkers for no reason. The head of scientific research died, Alphonse disappeared, and there were countless casualties and precious machinery losses. Whether it is out of personal feelings or the position and dignity of the entire Truth Order, we will not swallow our anger."

Igranu picked up the Axe of Om Messiah leaning against the head of the bed and quickly followed.

"All the troops sent by the Death Stalkers to the Flare System have been killed, but Chaos' actions cannot calm our anger." Lysitia opened the door, her voice still calm and soothing: "According to the intelligence provided by the Grey Goo mothership, the Death Stalkers' Chapter Master 'Olwen' did not participate in this raid. During this period, he led the remaining 500 Space Marines of the Chapter to resist the attacks of the Orks in the northern part of Espionis."

There was no way that the other officers of the Chapter could have directly mobilized the flagship to attack the survey fleet of the Order of Truth without the knowledge of the Chapter Master, but Russell herself was unable to spare the time to take responsibility for this matter. Therefore, she was given the authorization by the Star-Ballist to mobilize the Colossus and Anti-Entropy.

"The Order of Truth is an academic organization that convinces people with reason, and the monks of Truth are all reasonable people. As the temporary director of the order, I naturally need to be more reasonable." Lysitia said as she walked through the corridor and stepped onto the transmission beacon with the docking protocol adjusted by the intelligent robot servant.

The beacon's target location is the Colossus' central control room, between Space Cities 1 and 2.

Carrying the authorization document given by Russell, Lystia boarded the "Ring of Destruction". Carrying the will of the Star-Bomb and the might of the Colossus, she was going to the main star of Nifol to have a good talk with the imperial bureaucrats.

Watching her figure gradually disappear in the teleporting light, Igranu silently tightened the Axe of Ohm Messiah in his hand.

She understood what Lystia said, or rather, she felt the same way. In the Flare Galaxy, the Adeptus Mechanicus was also attacked by the Death Stalkers. Because they had invested too much power in the ground battlefield, their situation was even worse than that of the Adeptus Truth:

The warships they brought were either destroyed or captured by boarding ships, and all the accompanying personnel were killed or injured. Only a few high-ranking priests, including her, the biological sage, were able to escape by riding on the tailwind ship of the Order of Truth.

The Adeptus Mechanicus, which had suffered heavy losses, was in a much better position than Russell to condemn and accuse the Death Stalkers of heresy, but for a long time after boarding the ship, Igranu, overwhelmed by the intense joy and happiness, forgot about it, and the same was true for most other technical priests.

Taking a deep breath, Igranu said to the servo skull floating beside him: "Gather all the surviving followers of the God of All Machines on the ship. No matter how reluctant they are, we should get off the ship."

"Notify the Faya System Defense Force and prepare a high-speed battleship and L-gate priority access for me. I need to go to Nirvana to make the betrayal that occurred in the flare known to Musbel. The wrath of the God of All Machines will make the disloyal pay for their betrayal."

After giving the order, Igrenu felt angry but also a little curious.

Because of the interference of Tzeentch, the Lord of Change, none of the star messages they sent out for help when they were attacked were successfully sent back to Faya.

Now that she has personally brought back the truth about the betrayal, what kind of uproar will it cause in Nirvana?

Chapter 155: Get Ktor

After Lysitia boarded the Ring of Destruction, she was greeted by a tall humanoid machine made entirely of platinum.
