"It depends."

Vogel sighed at the alpaca's indifferent response, but quickly rallied his spirits.

"It doesn't matter if you don't want to, just take my master and the corpses of those gray knights away."

"They were all good people and shouldn't be buried here with the devil."

"You've already said it once," the alpaca said impatiently. "I don't want to listen to your rambling anymore. Lead the way."

Led by Vogel, the players reached the far end of the spine-like corridor that runs through the entire Black Ship.

They arrived at the door of a cabin sealed by layers of frost.

"This is it."

Vogel stepped across the threshold first and entered the cold cabin.

The players followed closely behind.

Inside was a church, with a huge imperial sculpture standing there.

The bodies of the five Grey Knights were scattered throughout the church, frozen into ice sculptures.

A woman clad in power armor, covered in ice and snow, wielding the longsword 'Duty of Light,' plunged it into the demon's corpse.

The demon's corpse was spread out on the ground, enormous.

It has tentacles, eyeballs, and a wide-open mouth filled with jagged fangs.

It was also covered with a thick layer of frost.

“Have Brother Agamotto send a transport ship so we can bring our hero home.”

The alpaca put away its bomb gun.

They obtained the 'Duty of Light' from the corpse of Judge Adorkin.

This sword possesses unique power.

Upon first touch, I felt a surge of heat flowing into my body along the hilt of the sword.

Dispel the chill brought by the winds of the subspace.

"Thank you for your kindness."

Vogel bowed to the alpaca.

“If the corpses can return to the Empire, the souls of my master and these knights will surely return to the Emperor’s side as well.”

The little alpaca looked at Vogel and raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Aren't you going to say something more? Like begging me, and I might grant you mercy."

"I would be grateful if you could take the bodies of your master and these knights back; I dare not ask for more," Vogel said calmly.

The little alpaca was somewhat surprised. "You should know that without the protection of the 'Duty of Light,' you'll be torn apart by those warp demons once you re-enter the warp, right?"

“Perhaps that is our destiny. We have fulfilled our duty and have no regrets in dying,” Vogel said.

"Never mind, let's just consider it doing a good deed."

The little alpaca opened the "Devil's Handbook".

This book involves a great deal of taboo knowledge.

It documents the Grey Knights and the Inquisition's knowledge of demons, various sacred rituals used for exorcism, how to fight warp creatures, and lists the true names of many demonic entities.

The little alpaca turned to the chapter titled "Redemption" and recited the verses from it.

The bound souls found redemption in the chanting.

Their bodies turned into specks of light and dissipated in the air.

Only some silvery-white dust remained.

“Thank you for your kindness,” Vogel said excitedly. “Thank you so much, thank you so much.”

Then, he turned into specks of light and disappeared.

"I didn't expect the storylines for these ghost NPCs to be so well done," Hui Bao'er said, leaning closer.

"I thought it would be all about killing! I didn't expect there to be a redemption story. The developers really put a lot of effort into this. I love it!"

Yuzu-chan's rating for Warhammer Online is getting higher and higher.

This game is absolutely fantastic!

Even the dungeons are so in-depth.

"Stop talking nonsense and put these silver dust away," the alpaca said.

"What's the use of this thing?" Gray Baby asked, puzzled.

The little alpaca said,

"We don't know yet, but it might become a rare forging material when the game is updated."

"Let's put it away for now, it won't take up much space anyway."

The Glory of Macurag

Qin Yun and Guilliman discussed for hours how to rebuild the empire.

The more Guilliman talked, the more he felt he had met Qin Yun much sooner.

They all share the same heart for farming, rather than simply for conquering and destroying.

"Honestly, I would gladly sacrifice those traitorous brothers in exchange for you becoming my brother."

Towards the end of the conversation, Guilliman sighed with emotion.

Qin Yun: "…………"

"Even if I weren't your brother, I'm afraid you'd be happy to sacrifice those few, wouldn't you?!"

“Your Excellency, this is the first time I have ever seen you so greedy and cunning.”

Guilliman burst into laughter.

"Alright, let's stop here. We still have a lot to do. I might have to leave soon to join the war."

"The Great Raiders are still trying to expand the Great Rift, pushing forward their evil plan known as the 'Crimson Path'."

"If he succeeds, he will open a path between the Eye of Fear and the Solar System, at which point Terra will have to face the Chaos Army."

"What's even more critical is that several key subspace navigation hubs within the Solar System have been seized by the forces of Chaos."

"Currently, only Wollas is in our hands, which is equivalent to the Great Raiders trapping us. If we do not retaliate in time, we will be isolated in the Solar System and lose control of most of the Empire's territory."

“I understand.” Qin Yun nodded. “With me in charge of Terra, you can go on your expedition with peace of mind.”

"........."

As Qin Yun and Guilliman stepped out of the secret room, Sicarius rushed over with bad news.

"The Fifth Fleet, which was assembled at the Uranus equator, encountered an accident. The subspace engine of the Blazing Embrace exploded, four ships were sucked into subspace, dozens of ships were severely damaged, and three star fortresses were paralyzed."

"The court has intervened in the investigation and initially suspects it was a man-made accident."

"Immediately ascertain the casualty situation and salvage the lightly damaged ships."

Anger flashed across Guilliman's face, but was quickly suppressed by his reason.

Anger is pointless.

He had to minimize the losses as quickly as possible.

"A heavy punch, we have to use a heavy punch."

Qin Yun also frowned.

This is clearly an extension of the political struggle in Terra.

These guys have gone mad.

The survival of humanity is less important to them than the power they hold in their hands.

P.S.: I've finished writing the story of the wrecked ship. Next, I'll write about the Spring of Terra.

Brothers, let's keep going!

Chapter 184 Taking Over Terra

The final loss report of the Fifth Fleet incident was delivered to Qin Yun and Guilliman.

In this incident, along with the Blazing Flame, a total of six large ships were completely destroyed.

The incident also caused serious damage to seventeen other ships, forcing them to return to port for repairs.

The star fortress and orbital platform in Uranus' orbit were destroyed.

The planetary defense network was forced to activate, using lasers and missiles to destroy debris and wreckage to prevent them from causing secondary damage.

In addition to the losses of ships and space stations, there were also personnel losses.

Three companies of white-clad former soldiers of the ruling class.

Fifteen regiments of Sersian skirmishers,

The Taranis family's fifty-seven knight mechs,

In addition, a large number of sailors, mechanical priests, navigators, star talkers and other crew members were lost.

The Blazing Flame was already fully staffed and equipped, awaiting only final maintenance before it could embark on its expedition.

But this is what happened.

Such losses, in the past, could have been enough to organize a small-scale expedition.

Trognan Prasolius, the commander-in-chief of the Fifth Fleet, the Mechanic Sage involved in the matter, and Galen, the judge in charge of investigating the matter, were summoned by Guilliman.

"Fleet Commander, is there anything you'd like to say?" Guilliman asked Prasolius.

The fleet commander was very fat, with layers of flesh piled up on his neck.

One of his eyes has been replaced with an electronic prosthetic eye, and a thought-splitting and amplification device has been implanted in the back of his brain.

It is used to enhance one's thinking and analytical abilities.

"I apologize for this accident, Primarch."

Prasolius spoke sincerely.

"But this was a deliberate act of sabotage. I did my best to screen and control it, but the enemy was far more cunning than we imagined."

"The cause of the accident was that the staff in the conventional power engine room received the wrong order to conduct an engine ignition test."

"The moment it was ignited, a plasma pulse without a confinement field cut into a chamber that was being filled with reactor materials,"

"There is no danger whether the raw material warehouse is full or empty."

"But it was only half-filled, and there was still a large amount of atmospheric mixture inside. When the plasma flow broke through the chamber, a huge explosion occurred."

"Immediately afterwards, the plasma control system of the main reactor was damaged due to an error code, which prevented it from releasing pressure in time, causing the reactor to be affected and resulting in an uncontrolled fusion reaction."

"The series of explosions impacted the subspace engine, which was undergoing maintenance and operating in the low-frequency range."

"The subspace engine was detonated, tearing open a massive rift and causing this devastating event."

"If any one link in this chain had been broken, it wouldn't have caused such severe damage; at most, it would have just crippled one ship."

"According to the subsequent investigation, the areas where the explosions occurred were being inspected by mechanical priests, but the people in charge of starting them were unaware of this. They received incorrect reports and thought the inspections were complete."

Guilliman looked at the mechanical sages and received an affirmative reply from them.

Then, the Primarch looked at Inquisitor Garen.

"What were the court's findings?"

“We are investigating based on limited leads, which may take a long time,” Galen, a strong man with half a metal face implanted and wearing a cloak, stepped forward to report to Guilliman.

"Before the explosion, several people on the Fire Embrace had altered their shift schedules. Our initial assessment is that our enemy orchestrated the massive explosion of the Fire Embrace through a series of man-made accidents, thereby delaying the Fifth Fleet's assembly."
