Travel to Warhammer 40K with Grey Wind

This humanoid mecha has a golden ratio body proportion and extremely artistic design lines. Its head is a pair of gorgeous golden wings that cover the entire face, the plate armor on the abdomen can see the bionic muscle lines, and the spine behind the waist is also connected to the weapon system that looks like unfolded wings. At first glance, it is easy to be reminiscent of the artistic stone sculpture that depicts the image of a mythical angel.

"Are you, Anti-Entropy?" Lysitia asked tentatively.

She could recognize that this humanoid machine that resembled the concept of an angel in religion was actually a "Scholar" type mobile armor that was still in the research and development stage. However, because the Scholar type mobile armor had not yet been mass-produced, the one in front of her should be the original No. 0 concept machine, code-named "Mechanical Angel".

Apart from the Star-Ballist himself, the only ones who can mobilize the "Mechanical Angel" are Gray Wind, the deceased research director, and the Anti-Entropy Host responsible for research and development.

"It's me, Ms. Lystia. Welcome to the Anti-Entropy System. It's my honor to serve you."

The 3.14-meter-tall mechanical angel bowed slightly to Lysitia.

The efficiency-conscious Anti-Entropy took action immediately after Lysitia, who was carrying the Star-Ballist's authorization documents, was teleported into the Colossus. An escort fleet consisting of three main battleships and 3 torpedo ships surrounded the "Ring of Destruction" Colossus and headed directly for the Guide Statue on the other side of the galaxy.

"Because the star base dock at Critical Base is currently constructing the 13 Glorious Queen-class battleships requested by the administrator, I cannot mobilize more productivity to support the Colossus escort fleet. Do I need to mobilize a cluster of nanorobots to form a starship escort? They are currently under construction and have 'inadequate authority'..."

The mechanical angel's voice was soft and gentle, and Lystia waved her hands repeatedly to refuse: "No, no need, this kind of escort force is more than enough in my opinion."

To be precise, this is a fleet structure that is sufficient to annihilate a planet.

The mechanical angel seemed to have some objections to her words, but in the end, he said nothing. The escort fleet flew into the palm of the Guide Statue with the Ring of Destruction. The distance of space and the scale of time were distorted here and now, condensing the long time spanning across astronomical units into a moment.

The Ring of Destruction slowly emerged from the Star Gate, and Nirvana was in front of it.

Nirvana today is very different from when Russell first came here. The forging world Musbell is running at full speed every moment, and its forging star rings are constantly handling huge amounts of resources from all over the star region, providing logistics and renovation upgrades for the large number of star ports in various star belts and the huge fleets docked in the ports.

"Under the dual influence of the greenskin invasion and the withdrawal of troops for the Terra Crusade, the situation in the Espenes sector is getting worse; most agricultural worlds and edge worlds have been occupied by the Orks, and only a few important node star systems and industrial worlds are still functioning. The Empire needs them to produce as much supplies as possible before it is completely submerged by the green tide."

"Due to the fall of the agricultural world, many hive planets, including Nifol Prime, have experienced varying degrees of food shortages..."

On the way to Nifol Prime, Anti-Entropy briefly reported to Lysitia about the star situation in Eusbornis and the entire Far East Frontier during the time they were away.

As the gentle and elegant voice of the mechanical angel slowly unfolded before her, a gloomy picture filled with blood appeared. A large number of abandoned planets drowned in the green tide. The devout prayers to the God-Emperor and the dying wails of hundreds of millions of ordinary people filled the warp, causing wave after wave in it.

In the past, such a large-scale and intense emotional fluctuation would inevitably attract the covetousness of demons, and taking advantage of people's despair, Chaos pollution would inevitably run rampant among the stars. But for some reason, during the long and arduous preparations for the Terra expedition, all important worlds in the entire Espenes sector did not find even a single case of Chaos pollution and evil cult-related incidents - not even a single case.

"Did the Emperor really appear? Or..." Looking at the ships coming and going in space, Lysitia was a little dazed.

"Focus, ma'am, we're here."

The gentle reminder from the mechanical angel woke her from her wandering thoughts. She looked down through the porthole and saw that the capital of the star region, Nifol Prime, was as lively as usual, and even more prosperous because it accepted a large number of refugees.

After taking a few deep breaths to adjust her mood, Lystia once again checked the handwritten document that Russell had given her. As a monk of truth, she actually preferred to store and transmit information in the form of data, but since the leader had deliberately chosen paper as the carrier of his will, he must have his reasons...

The mechanical angel used an optical sensor to confirm the integrity of the document wax, and then said:

"Repeat, the purpose of our trip is to deliver three copies of the top-secret information recorded in this document to the senior judge of the Inquisition on Nifol Prime, the senior officials of the Ecclesiarchy, and the Forge General of the Forge World Musbel."

The Ring of Destruction and its escort fleet slowly docked on the star track of Nifol, undergoing the routine identity verification and visit notification. The mechanical angel's mission retelling continued:

"After the document handover is completed, we will directly initiate the jump to the Aurora system in the heart of Esbanes. The Orks' advance has already penetrated into the belly of Esbanes. There are two extremely important industrial worlds in the Aurora system - Mirafar and Orokkol. Once these two worlds are lost, the entire logistics chain of the Terran Expeditionary Force will collapse directly."

"So, the Death Stalkers, led by Chapter Master Orwin, and Space Marines from several other Chapters are fighting hard in Aurora. That is our destination."

"It is reported that two of the largest orc tribes have placed the center of their war here. The supreme chieftain 'Goktor', who enjoys high prestige among the greenskins, is suspected to be personally attacking the Aurora system. He claims that he will seize all the vital industrial worlds for 'Brother Mao'."

At this point, the mechanical angel, who had been calm all along, seemed a little confused. It asked, "Ms. Lystia, do you know who 'Brother Mao' is? My database lacks information about an orc who is suspected to be Brother Mao."

"Uh, I don't know either..." Lysitia was even more confused than it. If it weren't for the mechanical angel's narration, she wouldn't even know that the greenskins had a chief named "Goktor".

"By the way, the leader asked us to go to Aurora after delivering the documents. Does that mean we should support the Space Marines and help the Empire defend the industrial world?" Lysitia asked again: "After all, the leader seems to support the Terra expedition initiated by the prophetess..."

Otherwise, we wouldn't build warships for them.

"In a sense, yes, ma'am." The mechanical angel gave an affirmative answer:

"The administrator has granted me the authority to activate the Colossus. After the fleet of the Greenskin Supreme Chieftain Goktor lands on the industrial world Mirafar, I will perform a neutron annihilation on the world."

"Eh?" Lysitia was a little confused: "Neutron annihilation? But there are 944 billion people of the Empire gathered on Mirafar, and several warbands including the Death Stalkers are still fighting fiercely with the orcs there. This world has not fallen yet..."

In her impression, extinction weapons such as neutron annihilation should only be used against planets that have completely fallen and cannot be saved no matter what.

"This is an order from the administrator. I will only execute it without asking why." The mechanical angel replied calmly.

Chapter 156 The Sleeping Lion

"All right……"

The mechanical angel's calm but irrefutable words made Lysitia lose the mood to continue chatting with it.

In silence, Anti-Entropy waited for the welcoming team from the Reipt family.

The Navigator family that ruled over Nifol Prime brought many professional psykers and Ecclesiastic nuns certified by the Inquisition to verify Lysitia's safety and purity. The tedious process took more than 40 minutes to complete.

In fact, it doesn't take a long time to simply run errands and deliver a letter, but the Reyput family has long been deeply bound to the local state religion, and the Star-Bullet has specified that Lysitia must personally hand over the documents he entrusted to him to the person in charge of the state religion on Nifor... This means that she needs to meet the prophetess Alexi directly.

Naturally, multiple levels of investigation were inevitable. In the preparation stage of the Terra Expedition, Alexei could be said to be one of the most dangerous and important figures in the entire Far East frontier.

After handing the sealed document to the prophetess, Lystia left Nifol with doubts and set off for the forging world Musbel, where the senior inquisitor "Pure Mentor" holding the Blood Rose Knot and the ruling sage Coster were both there.

Standing on the top of the hive spire and looking up at the asteroid-like Ring of Destruction leaving the orbit of Nifol Prime with its escort fleet, Krum Reipt, the elder of the Reipt family, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart still could not calm down for a long time.

Krum Reypt turned and looked behind her, where Alexei Reypt was sitting upright in a chair, waiting expectantly for the servant to use a dagger from the nun to open the fire seal on the document sent by Lysitia.

"Although it's quite rude to say this, Alexi, I hope you won't blame me for being suspicious. The Star-Ballist messenger brought 27 unidentified military ships that were close in size to Moon-class cruisers, and a space fortress that was close to the size of an asteroid. I hope you understand what kind of power this is."

"A powerful fleet of this size came directly to the sky above Nifol Prime without any prior application. The military force that is powerful enough to annihilate a planet just gave a temporary notice and came directly to Nifol Prime... Even if the Star-Bomb is an ally of the Empire, it is too dangerous."

Krum expressed his worries to the prophetess. The Ring of Destruction controlled by anti-entropy had already crossed the orbit of the main star of Nifol, and under the watchful eyes of many "farewell" reconnaissance teams, it slowly sailed into the boundless darkness outside the galaxy and merged with the three main battleships that had been separated before.

The temporary division of troops is based on both political and security considerations.

The torpedo ship built by the Critical Base Dock is about 3 kilometers long, and its hull specifications are slightly shorter than the standard length of the Human Empire's Moon-class cruiser, which is about 5 kilometers. Although there are more of them, they are still within the tolerance of the fragile nerves of the Imperial bureaucracy.

In contrast, the Stars battleships with the crest bow structure are 64 kilometers long. Although due to the high specifications of the main guns, these battleships can be said to be built entirely around a gun barrel, and 1/3 of the battleship volume is hollow gun barrels;

The price of adopting a crested bow to gain ultra-long-range strike capability is that the structural strength of the warship will be inferior to that of the Empire's main battleship with a fine gold keel structure... In other words, it is not resistant to collisions.

Nevertheless, sending three behemoths that far exceed the size of the Queen of Glory into Nirvana at such a sensitive moment is tantamount to a declaration of war for the expedition fleet anchored in the galaxy.

"Politics is so troublesome... It's better to do research, which is less stressful." Lysitia slumped in her seat in the Colossus' control room, giving the mechanical angel a look of despair.

Negotiations with the Navigator Family, the Adeptus Mechanicus, and the Inquisition made her very tired, and none of the diplomatic rhetoric she had memorized before leaving was used. In addition to being tired, she also solved a puzzle: Why was she, who had the worst popularity in the Adeptus Veritatis, elected by her colleagues to accept the diplomatic mission entrusted by the leader?

After being tortured by the complicated titles and negotiation procedures within the Mechanicus for the twelfth time until her brain overheated, she finally understood the reason.

"This is the trend in the Order of Truth. Most monks who sell arms on the black market hire middlemen to negotiate with customers on their behalf. As a result, they often receive kickbacks. I do not recommend this behavior..."

The mechanical angel thought about it and felt that his suggestion was probably useless, so he said: "It is actually very rare in the order to have members as sociable as you, lady. With this precedent, it can be predicted that for a long time in the future, the monks will push most of the diplomatic affairs to you."

So I'm considered sociable... Lystia felt that she seemed to have some clues as to why she was unpopular.

Far away from Nirvana's field of vision, the assembled fleet, led by three main battleships, took a defensive stance to protect the Ring of Ruin Colossus in the middle, and at the same time activated the holographic cloaking field and jump engine - the psionic cloaking field was not used because of the lack of psionic dust.

Lystia stood up quickly from her slumped position and used the sound array communication array to speak to all the combatants in the fleet:

"Everyone, prepare for battle. I repeat, everyone, prepare for battle. In 20 minutes, we will jump directly into a fierce battlefield filled with green-skinned orcs and the armed forces of the human empire. Our war will begin the moment the jump is completed and the space curvature stabilizes. Do not relax your vigilance even a little because of our alliance with the human empire. Be prepared for attacks from any side. We will slaughter a world and be enemies of all humans and orcs in the galaxy at the same time."

"In the name of truth, we will purify Aurora."

"The cooldown time of the jump engine is 200 days. This mission is estimated to take 1.5 standard Terran years. So - let's go."

Her words fell among the stars, and high-powered engines roared and tore space and time into pieces. The suddenly opened super-dimensional rift swallowed up the asteroid-sized colossus, and the war fleet that was ready to go disappeared into the dark and boundless space.

This fleet, carrying the wrath of the Star Missiles, has set off, and they are about to cause a huge uproar in Espionage with the death of nearly 100 billion people in the world.

But before that, the three small documents sent by Lysitia not long ago had already caused a deeper earthquake with even greater impact within the human empire.

The earthquake originated from the top of the hive city on Nifol Prime. The dozens of parchments in the hands of the prophetess Alexi were filled with neat and simple handwriting. Russell's handwriting was not as fancy as the imperial nobles', and each symbol was neat and clear, looking quite comfortable.

Even the lower-class people who are used to speaking the regional dialect can easily recognize some of the words:

"The Dark Angels... Caliban, the Fallen Angels... The Unforgiven, the Lion that sleeps in the depths of the Stone..."

Chapter 157: Crushing Skull and Steel Bones

The industrial world of Mirafar is one of the two hive planets in the Aurora system. It is famous for its high-quality fuels and gems, and is therefore favored by the Mechanicus.

Aurora is located in the heart of Espiones, bordering the core galaxy Nirvana to the west, overlooking the mineral galaxy Ask to the east, and a viscous star belt to the north that was once adjacent to the Lost Dream Nebula. The large number of agricultural worlds in this star belt were an important source of food for Espiones, but have now fallen.

The rolling green tide crushed over the agricultural worlds that supported a large number of hive cities and factory planets, causing food shortages to varying degrees in many hive cities, including Nifl Prime. Countless slaves who toiled all day in dark factories lost the right to serve the Emperor to death - they starved to death.

But the large number of fleets gathered in several core galaxies and the elite nobles who control these fleets do not care about these.

They responded to the call of the Emperor's prophetess with enthusiasm. Countless stubborn and corrupt old families generously donated in the name of the Emperor and contributed all their wealth to support this glorious expedition. As for why some well-known families temporarily changed the people in charge... no one could answer.

The various Astartes regiments that had been gathered were also preparing for war. The new recruits in the reconnaissance company were allowed to skip the hundreds of years of recruit probation period and receive armor in advance. Each regiment was given special permission by the prophetess to expand in time of war. The precious gene seeds sealed in the stasis library were taken out by the pharmacists. The outstanding young people selected from all over the star region swore an oath in front of the Emperor's statue...

On the eve of the glorious Terran Crusade, almost all Space Marine Chapters turned a deaf ear to the fallen Imperial worlds and the people ravaged by the greenskins; they concentrated on preserving their strength and intensively training their troops in the hope of delivering a stargate to Terra by themselves.

Because the prophetess promised that the first expeditionary force to arrive on Terra would have the honor of carrying the stargate construction template to meet the Lord of Mankind in person.

In such a situation where most combat troops tended to preserve their strength to fight for the highest glory, only three regiments ignored many dissuasion and stubbornly extended a helping hand to the Aurora galaxy, which was in danger at the forefront of the orc army:

Dark Angels: Death Stalkers

Blood Angels Successor Chapter: The Crimson Upstarts

And the parent group is unknown: Iron Wandering Spirit

They were determined to fight the aliens to the death on Mirafar. The Emperor's Angels of Death had endured enough humiliation. The dying cries of trillions of civilians tortured the nerves of the Space Marines. They could no longer accept in cold blood that an Imperial world was slaughtered by the Orks in front of them.

The huge fleet of the greenskin supreme chief "Goktor" has already rushed towards Mirafar. The descendants of Sanguinius swore in the name of the angels that they would rather die in battle than retreat a single step.

Ripples suddenly appeared in the deep darkness at the edge of the galaxy, and a slender, small and flexible torpedo ship jumped out of the folded space and time, followed by an organized torpedo fleet, a huge main battleship, and the giant "Ring of Destruction" that slowly rotated around the central weapon system.

"Nice jump, we have arrived at the predetermined coordinates! Turn on the sensor and scan Aurora immediately!"

"Report, the industrial world Orokkol has fallen, and the planet's orbit is completely dominated by a large number of green-skinned spacecraft; the resistance forces of the human empire have now retreated to Mirafar; the force field reaction has been detected in the north of the galaxy, and the signal strength is extremely strong. Be prepared for battle!"

"Roger that!"

The fleet immediately entered a war state after discovering the enemy target without any delay;

Most of the combatants in the fleet were locals from Faya. Some of them were influenced by the state religion and worshipped the Star-Bomb as the Lord of Humanity, while others were ordinary pilots who were not capable enough to become Truth-Born Monks. There were also some mercenaries deliberately recruited from the navy. Although many of them were spies of the Human Empire, their combat qualities were beyond doubt.

The Order of Truth and the Hall of Inquisition were both tacitly aware of this.

The 27 torpedo ships were divided into three small formations and rushed towards the fallen industrial world "Orokkol". One of the main battleships simply adjusted its posture without any major movements.

The main guns of the capital ships equipped with the crested bow have an unmatched range to strike the enemy beyond visual range across the star system, giving them the capital to not have to rush forward and use torpedoes and point defense artillery to engage the enemy in close combat like small torpedo ships.

"I have arrived in the near orbit of Orokkol. There is a large orc space fortress in orbit around the planet... The coordinates have been shared in real time. Please apply for beyond-visual-range sniping."

The battleship "Madame Jealous", equipped with tachyon light spears, responded to the request for fire support.
