On the strike cruiser Iron Fist, the psychic who was detecting the subspace signals in the north of the galaxy in real time through the psychic divination array suddenly let out a shrill scream. His head exploded instantly, and the splattering brain matter stained the wings of glory on the chests of the Space Marines. Pale bone spurs grew under his robe, and he turned around with his fangs and claws and pounced on Eldoshan who was communicating with friendly forces.

However, before the runaway psychic energy that was enough to easily strangle a powerful Space Marine could erupt, the old leader of the Iron Ghost smashed the fallen monster that pounced on him into a pulp with one punch.

"All ships obey my orders. Imprison... no, execute all the psychics on board immediately. We cannot afford the cost of them going rampage." Eldoshan said sternly.

This is a heavy choice. Most of the psykers in the Imperial Fleet are navigators or astropaths stationed by local astropathic offices. Executing all of them means that the fleet will lose the ability to travel long distances and communicate across galaxies... but it's not that bad.

They were far more fortunate than other Imperial fighters struggling in the galaxy, and compared to those captains in desperate situations, Aldo could make this heavy decision relatively easily because Aurora was a galaxy with an L-gate.

All important star systems in the entire Espionage have been connected to the L-Stargate network, which has brought them unparalleled high-speed information flow and military mobilization efficiency.

The army gathered in Nirvana is rushing here through the star gate network. Not in one year, not in six months, not even in one month. The support fleet will arrive in Aurora and Trodome respectively in three days.

As the capital of the sector, Nirvana can promptly learn of emergencies occurring in the hinterland galaxy Aurora and the fleet logistics base Trodome, and respond and provide support at the fastest speed, which is something that the imperial administration in the past could not even imagine.

All this is thanks to the stargate network that connects star regions.

The L-Star Gate is a gift from the Star Bullet...

Aldoshan slowly lowered his power fist stained with the blood of the mutant psychic. He looked through the porthole of the Iron Fist at the huge monster entrenched in Mirafa's orbit, its tentacles wriggling and greedily sucking the thick soup of life.

"Is this a sacrifice? Or is it the price paid for the deal with the Star-Bullet?" Aldo had no answer yet.

The only thing he knew was that if the human empire could break free from the shackles of the warp and the chains of the evil god, the price required would only be the sacrifice of a planet, a galaxy, or even the people of a star region...

Faced with such a deal, even his own genetic father, the merciful Primarch who valued the lives of civilians the most, would feel a little shaken.

In the darkness of the north, the subspace disturbance brought by the Void Whales gradually approached, and the Imperial Navy's detectors were able to vaguely capture the approximate location and size of the whales. Eldoshan made a number of targeted tactical deployments to facilitate the whales to immediately enter the battle in the best formation after entering the galaxy...

However, before their deployment was in place, they received a warning signal from the Truth Order Fleet:

"The target is within range, prepare to launch the tachyon spear—"

Chapter 163 Maurice

The Void Whales, loaded with the grace of the evil god, crossed the light-year distance between the nameless galaxy and Aurora in a short period of time.

As they were about to enter the outer ring of the galaxy, they appeared to the Imperial Navy as a group of blurry black shadows wandering in the gloomy and deep sea. However, before these black shadows entered the Imperial Navy's detection range, they entered the effective range of the main guns of the battleships.

Under the coordinated positioning of anti-entropy, a straight blue-white light spear pierced through the vast void between the stars starting from the main ship Lady Jealous.

The light spear sniper launched by the battleship's main gun does not need to calculate the lead time, and it cannot be dodged. The destructive tachyon stream hits the target with an efficiency that exceeds the speed of light. The firing time of the main gun and the hitting time of the light spear are infinitely close to the same time, or even at the same time.

The spear of light went out, and one could clearly feel the dark shadow cruising outside the galaxy stagger and pause.

Even a void beast would be severely injured if it took a full-power hit from a battleship's main guns.

"The firepower is not enough. Far from enough." Gray Wind shook his head.

"The Void Whales carry the grace of the evil god. The protection of the warp will greatly weaken any long-range attacks they suffer. Now that the marshal is not here and Coroniai's injuries have not healed, we do not have the psychic means to target the protection of the evil god. We must use more, stronger, and more intense firepower to overwhelm them."

After completing the first shot, the Lady of Jealousy immediately began charging for the next main gun shot. During this period, the arc attacks of the Lost Truth and the Unfinished Business were connected one after another. The main gun firing of the three battleships has never subsided since the first beam of light lance crossed the starry sky.

The huge ships born for war unscrupulously displayed the powerful violence given to them by scientists and engineers. The main guns running at full power continuously poured firepower enough to destroy the world into the darkness beyond the starry sky. The side cooling system of the battleship was overloaded all the time, and the core reactor kept emitting a heavy hum.

The Imperial Navy ships deployed by Eldoshan to various advantageous points were initially stunned by the sudden barrage of fire, until the huge black shadows cruising outside the galaxy actually entered the outer ring of Aurora, and what appeared in the military's field of vision was a corrupted giant beast with a sunken skull, cracked jaw, and torn skin and flesh all over its body.

Two strong emotions suddenly permeated the army.

This included shock at the fact that the Order of Truth's massive warships could actually cross half a galaxy and strike targets beyond detection range.

But more of it is fear.

The destructive power of the True Loss' main gun had been witnessed by everyone in the previous battle against the Orc fleet, and now the focused arc that was powerful enough to penetrate the greenskin war flagship had been fired at least 50 times in a row.

Despite enduring such ferocious firepower, the giant void whale that stumbled into Aurora actually looked fine. The dent in its skull and the cracks in its body seemed to be harmless, and its corrupted body was still swaying as it swam towards this side.

"What kind of monster is that..." Faced with such a vicious beast, even the experienced veterans of the Astra Militarum couldn't help but feel terrified.

"What are you afraid of? Nirvana's support army is on the way. Now it's different from before. It will only take three days at most for His Majesty the Divine Emperor's army to arrive..."

The soldiers at the artillery operating posts comforted each other. The atmosphere in the galaxy became more depressing as the Void Whales approached.

The Colossus's Ring of Destruction had already evacuated the battlefield under the control of Anti-Entropy, and the three main battleships were also retreating one after another. No one questioned that the Order of Truth had deserted the battlefield. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that such a huge main gun needed to be kept at a distance to achieve the greatest effect.

As for close combat with the evil creatures of Chaos, it is the specialty of the Emperor's Angels of Death.

The Imperial Navy fleet, led by the strike cruisers "Iron Fist" and "Bloody Sword", chanted the name of the Emperor and pounced on the Void Whale that exuded a corrupt atmosphere.

The Lost Truth and the Unfinished Business quickly retreated to the other side of the galaxy, coordinating to continue firing their main guns at the Void Whales that had rushed into the Imperial Navy's defense line.

The Iron Wanderers and the Crimson Upstarts showed extremely high combat qualities in their first joint operation with such a special unit as the Big Gun Battleship.

The naval soldiers drove the strike cruisers around the giant whale and maneuvered flexibly, constantly trying to make gaps in some important organs of the Void Whale to launch boarding troops, and also to buy time for the main battleships in the rear to fire their main guns.

But after the Crimson Upstarts paid a heavy price and sent an elite commando team of Terminator veterans to launch a suicide boarding, killing their way into the demons inside the Void Whale and detonating a small nuclear bomb, respectively blowing up the brain stem and heart of the giant beast, they finally learned a cruel fact:

——This monster has long been dead, and the Void Whale that is still wandering in the starry sky is nothing more than a walking corpse controlled by the filthy power of Nurgle.

As long as the Father's protection does not dissipate, it will not truly perish. Even the focused arcs and tachyon lances carried by the main guns of the battleship can only cause extremely limited damage.

There are many more undead behemoths like this one, and they continue to enter Aurora.

Fighting against the undead monster that carried the grace of the evil god was desperate enough, but as if fate didn't think they were desperate enough, it brought them even worse news.

"We have detected signals of varying numbers of flying objects in the southeast and northwest of the galaxy. Huh? Force field reaction? Aren't those the orcs that you defeated and fled before?"

In the central control room of the Colossus, Gray Wind, who was sitting in Russell's seat, frowned. "As far as I know, the orcs who were defeated head-on by killing their leader will fall into chaos and depression, and will not be able to get up for a long time."

But the fact is, the group of greenskins who were beaten up by Anti-Entropy and scattered like birds and beasts got up again shortly after they escaped.

In this case, either their leader is not dead at all, or they have seamlessly followed a new leader.

More and more garbage fleets entered the sensor's field of view from all directions, causing Gray Wind to bite his lips lightly: "...It seems to be the latter."

The monstrous green tide attacked from the southeast and northwest of the galaxy at the same time, forming a pincer attack that sandwiched Aurora in the middle. Because of the integration of the remnants of another orc tribe, this wave of green tide was even more powerful than the previous one - for the greenskins, a large number of people would actually transform into conceptual power.

On each of the large garbage ships hangs the exclusive totem of the orc overlord who commands them, but it is not the same totem as the greenskin supreme chief Goktor.

The orc tribe led by Goktor, the chosen one of Maogo, was broken up by Anti-Entropy and fled from Aurora, and soon ran into the green tide of another greenskin tribe.

The orc boys who had just been beaten up by Anti-Entropy were beaten up again by another wave of orcs. They were subdued by the new majesty and led the new boss to take revenge happily.

Look at that hard and shiny heavy armor that can crush a big can with one punch!

Look at that terrifying lightning claw with electric current bursting out!

Look at that cool hair that flows and voluminous like a lion’s mane!

That is the supreme green-skinned overlord who is stronger, more powerful, more domineering, cooler, more dazzling, bigger, greener, and more powerful than Goktor - Goktor's God-chosen One! The great Maurius!

Chapter 164: Supreme Overlord

Ever since the Star-Bombers slew the orcs parasitized by Bao in the depths of the Battle Moon more than a hundred years ago, the Greenskin Empire entrenched in the Far Eastern frontier has collapsed into a mess.

The disintegrating Greenskin Empire gradually coalesced into four large tribes in the endless civil war, which are the main force of the Green Tide that now surrounds the Espionage star zone.

The Evil Moon Clan, ruled by the Greenskin Supreme Chieftain "Goktor";

The Cyborg Clan ruled by the supreme greenskin overlord "Maurius";

The Skullbreakers, ruled by the greenskin supreme commander "Zhagarto";

The Bloodfang Clan is led by the undefeated greenskin Grand Marshal "Dorkans".

Goktor, who obeys Maugo, and Maurius, who follows Maugo, have always regarded each other as mortal enemies. The huge orc fleet that is now forming a pincer attack on Aurora from the northwest and southeast is none other than the Steelbone Clan led by the supreme greenskin overlord Maurius Gezza, after integrating and incorporating the fleeing Evil Moon Clan.

After successfully gathering the old enemies, Maurice's momentum immediately surged, surged, and surged! The energy concentrated in him was a hundred times more powerful than ever before!

Incomparably domineering, extremely arrogant, the fierce offensive simultaneously launched from the northwest and southeast directions is like a rapidly closing bloody mouth, trying to tear the entire galaxy to pieces!What else in the universe can resist such a terrifying green tide?

"It will take time for the support troops to arrive. With the current strength, it will be difficult to even delay the advance of the Void Whales. If we are attacked by the orcs again at this juncture... I'm afraid we really can't resist." Lysitia said, looking at the desperate green color that quickly spread from both sides of the Aurora celestial model with difficulty.

The situation is not optimistic.

Gray Wind imitated Russell and sat on the chair, leaning back, stretching his smooth legs onto the table projecting the battlefield model, and said calmly, "Then don't resist."

"Why……?"

In the outer ring airspace of "Orokkol", another industrial world in the galaxy, the close combat between the Imperial Navy and the Void Whale continues.

In the face of an unfavorable war situation, the flagship of the Scarlet Upstarts, the Bloodthirsty Longsword, which suffered heavy losses, launched a desperate assault on a tyrannical giant whale with blood-red scales and long curved horns on its head:

The Bloodthirster, carrying most of the entire regiment's manpower, crashed directly into a huge crack on the giant whale that was torn open by the tachyon light spear with the determination to die; this Blood Angels regiment lost communication from then on, and its life or death was unknown, but the giant whale covered in blood-red stopped swinging its ventral fins for some reason and no longer swam forward. Its huge, scarred body rolled over and struggled and convulsed constantly, and the deformed soul enslaved by the evil god let out bursts of miserable screams.

"This Void Whale is dominated by the power of Khorne, the Lord of Skulls. Its body is filled with the Blood God's army. It can be called a moving purgatory of war... What did the Crimson Upstart do inside that giant whale? How could it stop the behemoth blessed by the evil god from moving forward?" Lysitia was a little confused.

The flashing light in the mechanical angel's eyes paused for a moment, and then answered her doubts: "According to the information I have, the Crimson Upstarts have always played the role of guardian and savior in the 'Astoria' sector. The commander of the chapter, Saraf, has led his troops to protect the main star 'Favrna' from the Khorne demon army many times, and for this feat he was awarded the supreme reputation of 'Demon Breaker'."

Lysitia nodded slightly. She understood what anti-entropy meant.

The feud between the Crimson Upstarts and the Blood God Khorne is long-standing. This Astartes chapter, which has been fighting against the Khorne demon army for many years, is led by Fafnir's hero "Demon Breaker" Saraf. They use all their strength to board the flagship to launch a desperate assault on the behemoths blessed by the Blood God... Their actions themselves have some profound metaphysical meaning.

This universe is about metaphysics.

The theory of anti-entropy can indeed explain the abnormal situation that happened to the Crimson Upstarts, but it is too metaphysical.

"If you had said that the Bloodthirster contained some secret weapon like the Eumenides, it would have been easier for people to accept." Lysitia sighed in distress.

"Although I can generously acknowledge the existence of metaphysics based on the philosophy of dialectical materialism, and try to explore the logic behind it while maintaining my own rationality as much as possible, it is indeed difficult to have any stable logic and rationality as long as it touches the subspace..."

Perhaps it would be better to give up thinking and pray to the Emperor? The gunners of the Imperial Navy would pray every time they loaded a shell into the chamber.

"Don't waste your brain power on this kind of problem, Lysitia. Take the mechanical angel with you on the space shuttle to leave the Colossus as soon as possible and go back to Faya through the L-gate." Gray Wind said with a raised eyebrow.

"Eh?" Lystia looked at Gray Wind in confusion:

"If we want to take refuge, we should drive the Colossus back to Faya as well. After all, the Ring of Doom was previously used by the Anti-Entropy Local Destroyer Miner. After being equipped with Neutron Killer, it has even less practical function. Staying here will not help, and can only attract the hatred of the greenskins... Oh? Wait, is that so?"

Lysitia's eyes lit up, and she seemed to understand Gray Wind's intention.

While manipulating the Colossus to start the engine and drive forward, Grey Wind explained: "The Marshal once told me the story of the Orks. According to the Marshal, the greenskins generally believe in gods named 'Gorg' and 'Mao'. Maurius and Goktor, who believe in the gods of Gogo and Mao respectively, regard each other as mortal enemies and want to kill each other all the time."

"According to human thinking, it would be the best thing if the mortal enemy is destroyed by other forces and the orcs can profit from it and recruit the remnants of the mortal enemy. However, this is not the case with orcs."

"Maurice will not feel any favor towards us for killing Goktor, but will hate the Colossus that cleansed Mirafa, because killing Goktor through crushing firepower instead of head-on duel is not at all You see, the Ork's garbage fleet ignored the automatic machines mining in the orbit of the asteroid and came directly towards us."

To be precise, it was heading towards the Ring of Destruction.

When they first arrived at Aurora, they were able to take advantage of the information gap and the cloaking field, and use the main guns of the main battleships to take advantage of the beyond-visual-range range of the Evil Moon Clan. Neutron Killer's beheading of the orc leader caused the entire Evil Moon Clan fleet to fall into chaos, thus truly achieving a small victory over a large one, and easily defeated the orc fleet that was much larger than their own.

But now, the first-mover advantage no longer exists. Just as the Steelbone Clan integrated the remnants of the Evil Moon Clan, Maurice also learned from the experience of Goktor's disastrous defeat.

The power of the Colossus and the performance of the main guns of the main battleship have been exposed. The green tide in the sky is attacking the Ring of Destruction. The supreme overlord of the greenskins will no longer give them the opportunity to behead them from a distance. The completely restless green tide is simply unstoppable.
