On the other hand, it was also because all his subordinates were afraid of this mysterious fleet commander.
Bramimond was not a Space Marine. He had no record of serving in any Astartes Chapter, and even had no relevant records in the Astra Militarum and the Imperial Navy. But his majestic and perfect body was far beyond that of an ordinary person. His exaggerated height of more than 3 meters was taller than that of most Space Marines. He looked like a figure from a myth.
No one knew who Bramimond was or why he was able to become the captain of the Unripe Dream and the commander-in-chief of the fleet.
Even Musbell's Forging General and the Scientific Research Director of the Order of Truth only incorporated various dark technologies of unknown origin in Bramimond's hands into the construction drawings of the Valkyrie-class battleship with the guarantee of the Living Saint Alexi.
As for this person's origins, no one knows.
At this time, 2.2 standard Terran days had passed since the Iron Fist sent out the distress signal; due to the interference of the warp, the Unripe Dream could not obtain a complete view of the battlefield.
Bramimond folded his muscular hands across his chest. He could only make a side judgment based on the fact that "the rebellion in the Trodrom galaxy had not deteriorated further": Aurora's galaxy defense army should have successfully delayed the Chaos forces here, and he was completely unaware of the rest of the key information.
Has Aurora been lost? Have the Iron Wanderer and the Crimson Upstart really executed the extermination order against the Death Stalkers? And what is the current situation of Aurora...
In the absence of battlefield information, Bramimond did not dare to act rashly. He could only keep the fleet on guard and cautiously approach the coordinates of the industrial world "Orokkol".
He could accept the loss of Aurora, or even the fall of the entire Far Eastern Frontier, but Bramimond, who was entrusted with the important task by the Emperor himself, would never allow any mistakes to happen to the Valkyrie-class battleships. Each of them, equipped with biological curvature engines, was extremely important, carrying the precious hope of sending the fire of rebirth to Terra.
Therefore, Bramimond's forward strategy was based on stability. A large number of cruisers, frigates and destroyers surrounded the main battleships such as the Unripe Dream and the Soul of Burning Steel and the mechanical arks of the Mechanicus. The mighty fleet kept a high alert with weapons ready to be activated at any time and sailed forward.
The further they traveled into the galaxy, the thicker the Chaos pollution became in space, but fortunately every psychic in the well-prepared support fleet was a highly powerful person certified by the Inquisition's Purity Ritual, and even in the never-ending whispers of the Warp, they were able to keep their minds focused with their devout faith in the Emperor.
Along the way, they constantly encountered small groups of Ork wrecks that had been broken up but were still very large, as well as huge fin-like organs that had been torn from some giant creatures in unknown ways, with the ominous aura from the warp entangled in their biological tissues.
At this distance, the psychic detection circuit on the Unripe Dream could already vaguely glimpse the fierce battle taking place in the space around Orokkol behind the fog.
At this moment, an inexplicable super-dimensional space-time fluctuation suddenly came from not far to the right side of the closely arranged fleet.
That was distorted time, that was torn space, and it was a sign of the jump engine being activated.
The Imperial fleet, led by the Unripe Dream, changed direction one after another, and tens of millions of densely packed guns of all sizes were aimed at the direction from which the strange space-time fluctuations came. Then, a beautiful silver-white warship, with a slender body like a silver arc in the sea of stars, tore through the super dimension and appeared in front of the Imperial fleet led by Bramimond.
"Stop firing and prepare. That is the ship of the Order of Truth, the vehicle of the Star-Bomb." Bramimond recognized the identity of the Gray Goo mothership and immediately ordered the lifting of some of the alerts.
Not far away, the Gray Goo mothership did not rush to approach the Imperial fleet, but directly connected to the communication channel of the Unripe Dream and chatted with Bramimond in a familiar manner:
"Have you just arrived? I just arrived too... I should have crossed the webway and followed Coroniae here, but I didn't expect that just as Tzeentch used the webway to transport the Void Whales, the Lord of Change immediately blew up the Tombstone Gate."
Those who fill the well after drinking the water are lacking in virtue...
Gray Wind sounded somewhat annoyed when he said this.
If Tzeentch had not blown up the Webway and forced its main mothership to return to Faya via the jump engine, and then transit and jump here through the L-gate, Aurora's first wave of resistance to Chaos would not have been so passive.
Chapter 168 Numb Gray Wind
Grey Wind's familiar conversation made Bramimond feel subtly uncomfortable. In his long years as a loyal servant of the Emperor, this was the first time he met such a unique... Machine Spirit?
It should be a machine soul, it can't be AI.
The Grey Goo mothership's monologue did not last long. After complaining about Tzeentch's great lack of virtue, Grey Wind brought the topic back to the present Aurora:
"You didn't come very early, but fortunately you didn't come too late. The Chaos God of Pollution has controlled about 68 Void Whales of various sizes, using these behemoths as living ships to transport his demon army. Among them, the Nurgle behemoths, which are more than kilometers long, and the Khorne behemoths, which are about kilometers long, are the largest."
"Koroni and I killed about 8 Void Whales at the Tombstone Gate of the Flare Galaxy, and the remaining 60 beasts came to Aurora through the webway. This was far beyond the interception capabilities of the defense forces in the Aurora system, so my subprocess took advantage of the hatred of the Supreme Green Overlord 'Maurius' towards the Colossus..."
Grey Wind briefly explained Aurora's current situation to Bramimond, while the clerk beside Bramimond was busy recording his words.
With chaos spreading and the entire galaxy shrouded in the mist of the warp, it was unexpected that the Imperial Army could obtain such clear and low-lag valuable intelligence. This unique young lady of the Machine Soul just solved Bramimond's urgent need.
In the communication channel, Gray Wind continued to speak: "As of the time my subprocess was destroyed along with the Ring of Destruction, one of the 60 Void Whales was killed by the Crimson Upstarts, three were devoured by the Coronis, and the number of giant beasts that were overthrown by the greenskins is too numerous to count; they are now scattered all over Aurora. If you keep floating in like headless flies, you will probably run into one or two soon..."
"Ah, here it comes."
Gray Wind's soft voice fell gently, and the psychic detection arrays of five Valkyrie warships, including the Unripe Dream and Soul of Burning Steel, all detected a powerful subspace disturbance at the same time.
The whispers of evil gods murmur among the stars, the beasts of chaos roam in the void, scarred and decayed bodies emerge from the mist riding on the ocean currents, and the stench of rotting soul and flesh hits you in the face.
A giant void whale carrying the grace of the evil god Nurgle swam out from the darkness, wanting to spread the fatherly love to every living body.
Then, thousands of Imperial warships, led by five Valkyrie-class battleships, euphemistically expressed their rejection with countless flashing gun muzzles.
Looking at the dense artillery fire pouring down on it, a medical miracle occurred on the rotten and hollow eyeball of the Void Whale. The instinctive sense of danger to its life made it stop paddling its pelvic fins forward, and its huge body twisted hastily, trying to dive back into the mist of the subspace.
! ! ! "
Before the Nurgle behemoth had completed its turn, a large group of junk ships behind it rushed out of the fog with drums and gongs, and announced with fierce war roars that this road was blocked.
The green-skinned orcs, with their proud green skin, howled and rushed towards the rotten Void Whale. The orc boys of the Steelbone Clan vowed to prove that they were more powerful than the green Nurgle - and greener!
Mainly greener.
In front of it is a well-equipped and ferocious human fleet, and behind it is an orc boy who really deserves a fight but is very capable of fighting. The Void Whale, immersed in the father's love, has a slow brain that temporarily freezes.
Under the command of Bramimond, the Valkyries, guarded by a sea of warships, rushed towards the Nurgle behemoth fully armed. The empty interstellar space was instantly filled with the brilliant roar of artillery and bizarre and strange colors.
"Another big melee..." Gray Wind did not immediately join the battle because it felt that it was meaningless.
These void whales that were mutated by the evil god were all very evil. From focused arcs to tachyon spears, to various kinetic and annihilation weapons including antimatter bombs and neutron torpedoes, they were of little use when hitting the behemoths. Human technological creations were distorted by the evil god's power. This was the realm of metaphysics.
Then Grey Wind saw the Unripe Dream and her sisters breaking through the enemy formation under the cover of the powerful firepower of the Imperial Navy fleet, and using the adamantine ram on the bow to forcibly remove the ventral fin of the Nurgle beast that was using to stir the Warp currents.
Grey Wind didn't understand what was going on and was greatly shocked.
"I'm one of the designers of the Valkyrie battleship. How come I didn't know it was so powerful?"
Grey Wind looked at the Valkyrie-class battleships that were using the terrifying firepower of their broadside guns to engage in close naval combat with the Nurgle behemoths, and felt that this world was a little unreal.
The huge size of the Imperial Navy did not seem cumbersome at all under Bramimond's command. The densely packed warships moved as flexibly as a school of fish, constantly changing their formations and attack angles as the Nurgle behemoths bit and struggled.
The solid hull brought by the adamantium keel and zero-element armor enabled the five Valkyries to gain the capital to fight against the star beasts that were much larger than themselves, but this was far from explaining why the Unripe Dream was able to destroy the giant whale's ventral fin with a single battleship charge, which even the Gray Gu mothership had to use the Zerg LAN interference to offset part of the subspace protection to effectively destroy.
This unscientific.
"No, that's not the case. The Marshal once said that the combat effectiveness of the human empire's warships cannot be measured simply by hardware standards... In this universe, illusory beliefs can really be transformed into real power."
"Some famous warships that have fought for years carry the hopes and beliefs of countless people in the empire that they have saved. Such legendary warships may often have some things that are not in line with science but in line with metaphysics..."
For example, after a certain Primarch's flagship was taken away by Chaos, it refused to surrender. The hope it carried was too heavy, and even the most powerful leader after Chaos Warmaster Abaddon found it very difficult to deal with, so he had to return it to the Imperium of Man.
For example, a captain suddenly becomes extremely powerful in a desperate situation because of the Emperor's gaze, commanding his warships to directly destroy an enemy force several times larger than his own, and chasing the remnants out of the galaxy... etc. This is much more powerful than Khorne's blessing.
After adjusting his mentality, Grey Wind calmed down and watched the battle between the Imperial Navy and the Nurgle behemoths.
It remembered something. During the design stage of the Valkyrie, a mysterious man named Bramimond came to Faya with dark technology of unknown origin and found Grey Wind and Anti-Entropy, demanding to participate in the construction and design of the battleship in the name of the Emperor.
The Terran Crusade, initiated by the Emperor's living saint Alexi Reypt, was a grand journey across the galaxy to bring the flame of hope to Terra and into the hands of the God-Emperor.
The Valkyries, the spearhead of the expedition, shoulder the hope for the rebirth of this huge empire that has struggled in misery for ten thousand years. They will ignite the first ray of dawn since the Long Night for the human race that has endured endless humiliation and pain.
Every Valkyrie-class battleship has been endowed with too heavy a meaning by Humanity and the Emperor. Their incomparably pure Machine Souls are powerful enough to confront Nurgle's behemoths carrying fatherly love head-on without fear of the erosion of Chaos... Thinking about it this way, it seems reasonable.
Grey Wind watched numbly as the "Soul of Burning Steel" used its Nova Cannon, which could hardly blast through even the Zero Element Armor, to forcefully smash the skull of the Nurgle behemoth, and thought to himself, has this cannonball also been blessed by the God-Emperor?
It is trying hard to convince itself that this makes sense.
Chapter 169: Time to Go
After watching the chaotic battle from afar for a while, Grey Wind also joined the righteous attack on the Nurgle beasts.
Relying on the powerful performance of the Valkyrie-class battleship and the strong support of the green-skinned orcs, the support fleet led by Bramimond successfully suppressed the Void Whale dominated by the power of Nurgle.
Conventional weapons arrays are unlikely to have much effect on such highly mutated semi-subspace creatures. The power of the plasma warhead torpedoes and light spears that the Imperial warships usually have is greatly weakened by the interference of the father. Only torpedoes equipped with melta warheads and large-caliber nova cannons can effectively kill the giant whale's body.
The Nova Cannon is a terrifying cannon that uses a gravity turbine to accelerate solid or plasma projectiles to nearly the speed of light and launch them.
Its terrifying power is also accompanied by huge recoil, which can only be offset by the powerful engine of a large battleship. This means that the Nova Cannon can generally only be installed in one group on the bow of a large cruiser, and can carry out long-range strikes in the vertical direction, but cannot take care of the side.
But Anti-Entropy solved this problem by applying dark matter reactor stacking technology on the Valkyrie-class battleship, allowing the Nova Cannon, one of the most destructive ship-borne weapons of the Human Empire, to be installed in large quantities on the side of the battleship, thereby obtaining overwhelming destructive firepower.
Perhaps because they felt that fighting alongside the green-skinned orcs was somewhat unorthodox, the soldiers of the Imperial Navy, while covering the Valkyries in their fight against the behemoths, did not forget to fire at the oncoming green-skinned garbage ships.
Compared to the Aurora System Defense Forces that stayed in Mirafar, the support fleet from Nirvana was better equipped and the personnel quality was not at the same level. After all, they were an expeditionary force heading to Terra, and both the Adeptus Mechanicus and the Adeptus Truth provided them with the most advanced weapons and the best logistics at the behest of the Emperor and the Star-Bombard, enough to overwhelm any enemy of the Empire and pursue them relentlessly.
The Void Whale, which had forgotten its fatigue and pain due to the blessing of its loving father, finally showed signs of exhaustion under such a fierce attack. Its fins had been removed by the Valkyrie, and countless Orc boys were coming and going in its body to argue with the Nurglings and Plaguebearers about who was greener. Its hard ribs also cracked under the continuous attacks of the Nova Cannon.
Following a symbolic charge by the Unripe Dream, the fleet commander-in-chief Bramimond personally led an elite regiment of the Astra Militarum to jump into the mouth of the Nurgle beast, and used a gorgeously crafted power spear to chop off the head of the Nurgle demon hiding in the giant whale's tongue and jaws.
This perfectly timed decapitation seemed to imply a certain conceptual victory. After the stinking demon covered with lesions and mycelium died tragically under Bramimond's spear, the fatherly power that filled the Void Whale's body quickly dissipated.
The wounded body began to fall apart, the rotten flesh quickly decomposed, the cute Nurglings screamed and disappeared, and the happy greenskins suddenly stopped fighting, so they turned around and started to attack the Imperial Navy.
Soon, only a pale and huge skeleton was left of the mutated Void Whale that stirred the ocean currents and brought the father's grace.
To Grey Wind, the green-skinned orcs were undoubtedly much easier to deal with than the Chaos beasts. The Grey Goo mothership easily helped the Imperial Navy to clear out the surrounding areas, and then led the support fleet all the way to Orokkol, who was fighting hard, to provide assistance.
The Void Whales carrying the will of God failed to defeat Aurora within three days and arrived at Trodome to cooperate with the rebellious cultists to create the next wave of greater chaos. The moment Nirvana's support army successfully arrived, the Lord of Change's plan had failed.
The situation is hopeless and futile resistance is meaningless.
Under Grey Wind's coordination, the Human Empire's vast army cooperated with Coronia's Zerg to wipe out the remaining mutated Void Whales in Aurora.
It is a very strange sight that humans would actually fight alongside aliens.
Many naval soldiers had complaints about this, but when Coronia manipulated the Bio-Ark and used its bright red tentacles to drag the Bloodthirster, which was covered with erosion scars, out of the corpse of the Khorne behemoth, successfully rescuing the Crimson Upstarts, which were trapped in the behemoth and suffered heavy casualties, the voices of doubt weakened a lot.
After all, they did not witness with their own eyes the hive monster that was lurking above Mirafa and devouring the world, they only saw the biological ark that saved the heroic regiment from the mouth of the behemoth.
Faced with Grey Wind's argument that "the Zerg are just biological weapons controlled by the Star-Bombers, not aliens", Bramimond did not express any opinion and let the matter pass with a semi-acquiescing attitude.
The subsequent aftermath was cleaned up relatively smoothly. The Void Whales died one by one under the Valkyrie's Nova Cannon and the Soul-Eating Venomous Bee's Spirit Bone Poison Needles, and the chaotic shadow shrouding Aurora gradually dissipated.
When the news came that the rebellion in the Trodrom system had been quelled, the Tzeentch conspiracy that began during the War of the Lost Dream Nebula finally came to an end...really?
"During the time we were hunting the Void Whales, the number of green-skinned orcs that were originally everywhere in the galaxy has rapidly decreased without us noticing, and now they are almost gone."
The Grey Goo mothership floated beside a huge corpse of a void whale and connected the communication to the Coronie's psychic network. It said: "It is hard to imagine that such an orderly and extremely well-timed retreat can be seen in the greenskins. This shows that they have a strong and cohesive leader."
"Yeah." Coronie nodded repeatedly.
Grey Wind went on to say, "From the beginning to the end of this war, we only saw the Orc garbage fleet flying the flag of the Supreme Overlord, but did not find the Supreme Green Overlord Maurice. This cunning Orc may have noticed something..."
"Yeah." Coronie agreed deeply.
"Also, I just did a statistics. Including the Void Whales we killed in the Flare System, we and the Imperial Navy have killed a total of 32 Khorne beasts, 21 Nurgle beasts, and 12 Slaanesh beasts, a total of 65."
Grey Wind added: "There are four Chaos Gods in total, but the Void Whale carries the grace of only three of them. Where is Tzeentch? The number of whales I observed at the beginning was 68, so where are the other three Void Whales? I'm afraid there is some other conspiracy hidden in this..."
"Yeah, yeah." Coronie continued to agree without raising his head.
"You..." Looking at the creature Ark that was busy eating the corpse of the void whale, Gray Wind held his forehead helplessly. Why did he think of exchanging information with the big bug? This guy only cared about eating.
I should go talk to Bramimond, at least he is serious. Thinking of this, the Gray Goo mothership left the corpse of the Void Whale.
