Travel to Warhammer 40K with Grey Wind

"I..." The saint was silent.

Russell looked up at Alexei's calm face, which was now showing a hint of hesitation. It was hard to imagine such an awkward expression on the face of the Emperor, the Lord of Humanity who had been sitting on the Golden Throne and enduring thousands of years of torture. It was awkward to the point of being a bit nagging.

Fortunately, this woman is not my father, otherwise I would be in trouble.

After hesitating for a long time, Russell more or less understood what He meant. Grey Wind tactfully left the council hall, and the next moment after it left, the saint's spiritual energy covered the entire hall, isolating the inside and outside.

"Can you tell me now?" Russell asked.

Yes." The saint nodded slowly, and said with some difficulty: "In recent times, a forbidden technology that can ignite the life of psychic races and purify psychic potential into powdered psychic energy has begun to spread from the Far Eastern Frontier to all parts of the Extreme Star Region."

Psionic chain burning formula? Russell frowned, as if he knew what He was going to say.

"At first, the chain combustion technology that was circulated could only be used against the Eldar, and was ineffective against other psychic races. However, due to the surge in demand for psychic energy, knowledgeable people quickly reversed the combustion formula for human psychics." The saint's voice was as calm as ever: "I have read the principles of psychic chain combustion. This technology is highly compatible and is equally effective for almost all psychic races - as long as some key variables in the formula are modified according to the soul characteristics of different races."

"So in theory, as long as enough research is done to improve the formula, even the Primarch who has ascended to become a Demon Prince can be burned into crystal dust containing a huge amount of spiritual energy." Russell clasped his hands together: "Are you worried about this? Are you worried that I will burn Magnus?"

"He is my son, even if he has taken the wrong path." The saint's tone was still calm, so calm that it did not sound like the voice of a living being: "I have no objection to you ending his life. This is what he deserves. But I... I beg you, Star Bullet, to at least give Magnus' death the final dignity."

Russell smiled in relief: "I don't have the bad taste to insult the defeated general, and contrary to what you think, I will not kill him."

The saint seemed a little surprised. He raised his head and cast a slightly puzzled look at Russell.

"Magnus is one of the most powerful psykers in the galaxy, and he is also a psyker with profound knowledge. I - you know, I know nothing about psionic magic." Russell spread his hands and said, "It would be best if you could teach me about witchcraft and magic in person, but that is obviously impossible. In this case, it's not a bad idea to settle for the next best thing, right?"

The saint opened his mouth, but in the end said nothing.

After a long silence, He slowly let out a sigh of relief: "The time when he and the Thousand Sons collected and studied in the galaxy was the happiest time in Magnus' life... The beautiful past has been shattered. Fortunately, his knowledge can help you."

With the knot in his heart untied, the saint's mentality became much more relaxed.

Before leaving, Russell asked Him again: "Do you want Magnus to come here to see you? The ship holding him is parked in the orbital dock."

"No, Star Bullet, no." The sage shook his head. "Put his knowledge to good use. That's all I ask."

"I will."

After saying goodbye, the golden flames burning in Alexei's eyes gradually went out, and his violet eyes became beautiful and clear.

The prophetess politely escorted Russell, who was turning to leave, to the top of the spire, and watched him and Grey Wind board the dock and leave - the monks of truth brought by Russell did not go with them, and these people would be divided into groups and deployed by Alexi.

Because the Star-Bombers had beaten up both Khorne and Tzeentch in the Warp, the entire Far Eastern Frontier was unusually peaceful for a long period of time afterwards.

Both the rampant cult activities and the occasional small-scale Chaos raids have almost disappeared, and even the green tide of orcs surrounding the Espionage sector and constantly attacking cities and strongholds has become less common.

In the final years of the 39th millennium, Espanaes enjoyed a rare period of peace.

The Adeptus Veritate and the Adeptus Mechanicus worked overtime during this precious time of peace, building new weapons and maintaining old ones. Brand new Valkyries were shipped out of the factory and rushed to the last few Astartes regiments.

Because the Monks of Truth themselves also have to join the expedition, they will inevitably face the threat of Chaos personally when collecting intelligence along the way. This time when they leave their hometown and go on a long journey, there will be no Star Missiles to come to the rescue at any time.

Therefore, in addition to the regular Eldar Banshee troops, they need to build a self-defense force against Chaos.

Based on the anti-entropy designed "Mechanical Angel", the Order of Truth suspended all current research projects and invested all its energy into the debugging and mass production of the "Scholar" mobile armor, which was still in the experimental stage.

The "Scholar" type mobile armor is constructed with a full-precision gold frame and covered with fully wrapped individual zero-element armor to provide physical defense that can be called a wall of sighs.

The power of the singularity reactor built into the mobile armor is far greater than that of the conventional model used by the preachers who have undergone integrated prosthetic transformation. It is enough to supply various heavy weapons and heavy bodies. Even if no weapons are used, a mobile armor equipped with a single-soldier zero element can still cause devastating damage even if it rushes in with bare hands.

The firepower, defense, endurance and other functions of the "Scholar Type I" mobile armor are close to perfection. The only two shortcomings are that its overly large size will inevitably bring some loss of mobility, and it is relatively not good at high-intensity roaming combat.

And because the manufacturing process lacks the various sacred rituals unique to the Mechanicus, there is no such thing as a machine soul in the Scholar I mobile armor, and the built-in combat auxiliary AI's resistance to subspace pollution is also somewhat questionable.

The problem of flexibility can be alleviated to a certain extent by mixing with other arms. It is unrealistic to expect a mecha to perfectly deal with all situations.

As for the problem of mecha's resistance to subspace pollution, the Order of Truth solved it in a different way:

All pilots of the Scholar I mobile armor are "untouchables" who can isolate themselves from the influence of the subspace and psychic energy.

This soulless army, armed to the very hair with refined gold and zero element at all costs, is the vanguard prepared by the Order of Truth to deal with chaos.

Chapter 173 Departure

Long before the first L-Stargate was opened, Russell used the Zero Storm Projector to gain a seemingly insignificant power in the Far Eastern Frontier - the right to conscript troops.

The Star Missiles have the right to conscript one person from each planet in the Far Eastern frontier every year. This number can be completely ignored for an imperial world with a population of billions, tens of billions, or even hundreds of billions. The symbolic significance of this conscription right far outweighs its practical significance.

That's true, but it also depends on what kind of soldiers are being recruited.

For the Order of Truth who devoted themselves to the study of psychic theory, the "Untouchables", who were born as psychic insulators among humans, were undoubtedly an excellent means of experimental security, and this was indeed the case. The two soulless girls they selected from Faya had saved the lives of many scientists who were seeking death from experimental accidents caused by psychic runaway.

After the start of the spiritual/arms trade settled with psychic dust, the Order of Truth used the legal conscription rights obtained by Russell as a cover to continuously search for/purchase/recruit untouchables through various channels including the Inquisition and the black market. However, they had no plans to organize the soulless into an army at that time.

Fortunately, under the influence of the Star-Bomber, the scientists of the Order of Truth have always behaved well. The soulless people who are used to being experiment security personnel and occasionally acting as experimental subjects themselves are not very averse to putting on power armor and becoming butchers.

In fact, most of the Untouchables belonging to the Order of Truth are staunch supporters of the "Star-Shooters are the Incarnation of the Emperor" theory, a branch of the state religion, which makes many monks quite uncomfortable.

The battle formations composed of Untouchables in Scholar-pattern power armor were eventually named:

"Night Rider"

They will join the expedition with the Brothers of Truth, along with the Eldar Banshee squadrons equipped with Persuaders' light armor.

...But there is a small problem here. Although they can directly instill systematic combat experience and tactics into the drivers of mobile armor through memory infusion and other means.

However, due to the lack of real training and actual combat, the combat proficiency of the Untouchables is always difficult to reach the level of truly battle-hardened Space Marines.

This may cost the Night Knights a bloody price in the upcoming expedition, but only in this way can they transform into true warriors.

Four years passed in peace and bustle, and the last Valkyrie-class battleship was finally assembled at the Star Ring Dock in Trodome.

The Valkyrie No. 013 was named "The Heroine of the Palace". She belonged to the "Blue Blood Nobles" chapter of the Ultramarines, a sub-regiment of the Ultramarines that defended the dock where a large number of warships were parked during the rebellion launched by the cultists.

As a sub-group of the Ultramarines, the Blueblood Nobles had a very complete organizational structure and a very versatile ability to adapt to the real situation. Therefore, even though the head of the group, who was the backbone of the group, was assassinated in the long-planned rebellion that year, the Blueblood Nobles did not fall into chaos without a leader for a short time as the cultists expected.

The company captain took over the reins, quickly organized enough combatants, and made the most sensible decision based on the known battlefield information - concentrating troops to protect the main dock.

It was precisely because of the swift and lightning action of Captain Eliwood that the blue-blooded nobles were able to save the main battleship force of the 13th Expeditionary Fleet from the cultists.

Now, Eliwood, who is now the captain of the battle group, led the entire group of blue-blooded nobles to board the hull of the Valkyrie-class battleship "The Heroine" docked at the Trodome Orbital Dock, and personally kicked off this expedition that has been prepared for decades.

There are a total of 13 expedition fleets gathered in Nirvana, each of which will take 13 different routes across the galaxy. As long as one fleet or even one battleship reaches Terra, it will be considered a success.

The route that the blue-blooded nobles were going to take was to depart from the Trodrom system, with the "Heroine" activating the warp engine, wrapping the entire 13th Expeditionary Fleet in a curvature bubble and heading southwest, crossing the Damocles Gulf and returning to the home of the Ultramarines - the former Five Hundred Worlds of Ultramar.

After the first phase of the voyage, they were expected to make a brief stop in Macragge to replenish equipment and supplies, as well as receive support from the Ultramarines Mothership.

After building the L-Gate on Macragge, they continued on their journey to Terra.

The routes of the rest of the fleets were mostly similar. The main mission of this expedition was to deliver the stargate construction templates to Terra. The secondary mission was to obtain supplies from the important star systems they passed along the way and to build stargates locally.

Thanks to the Star-Bomb, although Russell only gave the expedition fleet the template for building the L-Star Gate sub-gate, the Truth Order Technical Groups that followed the 13 expedition fleets all had the ability to independently build the L-Star Gate main gate.

Among all the 13 expeditions, the most special one is the 6th Expeditionary Fleet, which was originally planned to be led by the Death Stalkers. But after the chapter was thoroughly purged, the 6th Expeditionary Fleet became the only mortal expeditionary force without an Astartes chapter leader.

In order to fill the vacancy of Death Stalkers, the Order of Truth deployed the largest number of Preachers to this fleet. A large number of Eldar Banshees and Nightbringers formed the main combat force of the 6th Expeditionary Force. The Ark of Bliss and the battlecruiser Oracle of Truth also joined in.

This is an expeditionary fleet with the Order of Truth as its main force, and its leading flagship is the Valkyrie-class battleship - "The Evil-Speaking Woman".

It is said that the name comes from the fact that the machine soul of the ship is rather venomous, and will mock every tiny tactical mistake made by the commander... Sarcasm aside, the combat effectiveness and loyalty of the venomous woman herself are very trustworthy.

And this fleet will also undertake the most direct tasks.

In the year 40 of the 001th millennium, a fleet of majestic warships called Valkyries set out from the eastern border of the Milky Way, breaking through the chaotic green tide that spread across the starry sky, opening the curvature and embarking on an expedition to the starry sea.

Unlike the other 12 expeditionary fleets heading in different directions, the 6th Expeditionary Fleet went against the trend and returned directly to Faya through the L-Gate, then transited through the terminal exit and came to the critical base outside the galaxy, where the quantum slingshot was waiting for them.

"what is that?"

An imperial officer in the fleet looked far into the center of the galaxy through his artificial eye. He was shocked to find a huge octagonal cage quietly rotating in the center of the galaxy, imprisoning an extremely bright pulsar inside.

"That's a slingshot, a superluminal navigation tool. It's more convenient than a stargate, but a little unstable..." A truth monk briefly introduced the general function of this giant structure to the officer, and then said:

"We are about to be ejected to a very dangerous coordinate, so we are notifying the entire army. After we escape from the super-light speed state, we should not worry about anything and immediately look for the wide-area signal sent by the Vicious Woman. Everyone must gather to get there. The first priority is to be around Valkyrie.”

I understand." The officer nodded solemnly.

After reporting the situation, the Vicious Woman followed the thin electromagnetic pulse towards the center of the galaxy. All members of the 6th Expeditionary Fleet were in position within the range of the slingshot, and the rain of light cut through the sea of ​​stars.

The Terra expedition officially begins.

Chapter 174 Nano Plague

The Far Eastern Frontier is a narrow north-south star belt located on the easternmost border of the Ultramarine, consisting of several star regions such as Espenes, Karalaram, and Astoria.

The standard definition of a star region in the Human Empire is "a cubic area of ​​space with a side length of approximately 200 light years." However, due to the extremely poor governance capabilities of the Imperial bureaucracy, the Terra government's control over the Far East has always been very loose, and a large number of newly developed colonies or planets captured from aliens in the Far East border area have not been reported to the higher authorities.

...Actually, it was reported, but the local governor of the star region was not sure whether the registration information of the new colony reported by his grandfather 1500 years ago had been transmitted to Terra for registration.

Therefore, the actual size of the multiple human star zones that make up the Far Eastern frontier region is always much larger than the conventional star zones of the Empire standard, and their shapes are mostly long and narrow from north to south. This is the result of natural expansion.

At the same time, due to the sparse starlight density at the edge of the Milky Way, the number of planets that can actually be developed and utilized in the vast space of the Far Eastern frontier is actually less than that of some secondary star regions located in the inner part of the Milky Way.

Big and empty, this is the current situation of the Far Eastern frontier.

At the same time, due to the collapse of the Lost Dream Nebula caused by the Worm of Time, an empty area called the "Nightmare Void" was created, tearing the entire Far Eastern Star Belt into two parts:

The southern star belt composed of star regions such as Eusbaenes, Acharnea, Iris...

The northern star belt is composed of Astoria, Karalaram, Elincia, Odina, Lucion... and other star regions.

After 13 fleets set out for the galaxy to expedition Terra in order to compete for the supreme honor of delivering the stargate to the hands of the God-Emperor, the defenses of the Far Eastern frontier were completely empty. A large number of elite nobles and ruling classes abandoned the worlds they ruled and followed the army. A large number of imperial colonies fell into chaos without supervision.
