Chapter 421 This route. ． ． ． ． ． Who can guess?
The will of a believer is also vulnerable to absolute power.
The current situation is that you are just like Lorgar back then. The god you believe in will not respond to you, and you will never be able to defeat the extraordinary warrior who has countless years of scientific achievements.
Courage is the hymn of mankind. This sentence is not wrong, but it is always used in the wrong place, because the history of mankind is not written in hymns.
Humanity has persisted in the vast Milky Way for tens of thousands of years. Their history has been recorded in bloody history books one after another, and generations of scholars have spent half their lives studying it. None of the aliens crisscrossing the Milky Way lacks the so-called Courage, the mechanical lifeforms don't even know what courage is, they just complete every command accurately. Human beings have no advantage over them.
Humanity's advantages lie in inheritance and exploration. The former has been "perfectly inherited" by generations of sages of the Mechanicum, while the latter seems to have only continued with the Rogue Traders since the great explorer Rand. Until Belisarius Caul came out of the mountain, this trend is engraved in human genes. The wave was stirred up again.
The state religion allows believers who have only received the emperor's hymn education to stand up and fight, thinking that this way they can defeat the enemy with ignorant bravery, which is tantamount to wishful thinking.
It didn't take much time for the gunboats of the transport team to drop a series of incendiary bombs on the believers whose body functions were severely damaged. The firepower of the anti-aircraft guns was still acceptable, but under the full impact of the Astartes, those who could fire would also be able to fire. Destroyed within minutes.
The pilot sneered. I heard that your national religion is good at quickly transforming believers into whipping servitors to form a powerful group combat force, but do you have the time?
The transport plane passed through the spire bridge that was destroyed by violence. Amidst the calls of several wolf soldiers, it barely passed through a large hole that was blown up and landed in a hall.
The wolf warriors guarding the landing site killed the battle sisters who fell from the sky with precise bursts of fire. Some soldiers even felt that there was no need to fire at all. If they jumped from the floor at that height, they could fall to death directly.
The secret treasures of the state religion were carried on the car one by one. Many of the treasures began to break after the anti-psionic power approached. Whether it was the psionic power blessed by the emperor or the sacred object hidden by chaos, the wolf warriors looked at it with disdain. Along with those fragments, some careless guy also handed over a copy of the decree issued by the Emperor himself at the Council of Nicaea.
(This decree is always upheld by the Space Wolves. What? What is a Rune Priest, you ask?
As you heard, Rune Priests are Rune Priests and have nothing to do with the Think Tank.
ah? Do you want to ask more?
Someone, tell Fenris Sea Monster that there is meat to eat today. )
The psychic power of the National Religion is not weak, and true psychics will be taken away by the black ship, but...
If my believer awakens his spiritual power, he will have a special status such as a saint candidate. Who can say that he is not the next saint?
The state religion used this reason to allow many believers with psykers to still live in this world, which played a big role at this time. Their psychic powers were difficult to resist the adamantine warriors, but they were enough to cause obstacles in the intricate urban network.
Blow down high-rise buildings, move important landmarks, destroy the passages in front of the adamantine warriors, and cause the collapse of several floors. They are using all means to hinder the movements of this group of heretics.
White bones have turned into tall buildings, flesh and blood has turned into rubble. Believers are using their lives to protect their homes, while the "hateful traitors" are slaughtering this prosperous world.
Ten hours have passed, and the intact hive can no longer be seen below. Soldiers from several battle groups cooperated with a large number of fighter planes to plow the entire surface of the planet. Even in the glorious Great Crusade, no alien race has ever been treated like this.
Yifeng tapped the table with his knuckles, and the information he wanted finally came from the command table. The first was the response from several expeditionary forces of the Black Templar Chapter, the de facto tenth expeditionary force of the Human Empire. In response to the Pilgrimage World's request for help, they are coming here.
According to the intelligence intercepted by the Astropaths, it would arrive in about six days if the Emperor did not help.
This was not the news that Yifeng was waiting for.
It's the second one.
There are a large number of rapid support forces near the Ecclesiastical World. Due to the scheduling of the expedition, there are not many ships left here. Only one looks like anything.
The Imperial Ikon in a semi-decommissioned state.
This is a Mars-class battleship, and its characteristic is... it can do everything, but it's not good at anything.
Carrier-based aircraft, long-range bombardment, ship-to-ship close combat bombardment, planet suppression... It can complete almost all types of tasks in naval combat regulations, but it is not particularly excellent in every aspect.
The reason why it cruises next to the Holy Land World is because it was once the vehicle of the Imperial Saint, Sun Lord Macarius.
The Imperial Icon was severely damaged during the Battle of Charaxdis and subsequently withdrawn from the stage of history.
The Adeptus Mechanicus' attitude towards this ship has always been to dismantle it and add it to other battleships, because it was so badly damaged that it was almost a wreck.
However, the Imperial State Church persisted and invested in it, and in the end, its repairs were incomplete and it was in a semi-decommissioned state. Cruise the outer reaches of this pilgrimage world.
The bishop had intended to transform it into a pilgrim ship, but as everyone knows, the bishop's reign was too short compared to shipbuilding.
This old ship organized several cruisers and frigates and headed here.
Anos quietly floated out to a place where there was no one around.
The Imperial Icon jumped and appeared at the far end point. They quickly sent out reconnaissance Cobra-class ships to explore the situation in the galaxy. The main force kept a distance from the Mandeville Point and was in deep space. They could initiate subspace jump evacuation at any time. .
The problem is, Anos has quietly drifted behind it.
As we all know, there are no weapons arrays installed on the backs of imperial warships. The sudden appearance of the People's Light and the shield-breaking fluctuations completely suppressed this shabby fleet in a short period of time.
Note: The division commander's order to attack was once again rejected by all senior officials.
Kazanev has been holding back until now, but the mission he received is to capture the ship quickly. He is really angry. Bals has been comforting him. Kazanev hates hesitant battles. He must know whether he is an enemy or a friend before fighting. .
The Terminator troops were determined to launch occupying strikes against the enemy and occupy important positions.
In fact, when the captain knew that two digits of Terminators had entered the ship, he planned to die here. When the number reached three digits, he shot himself without hesitation.
Then......
Kazanev got his wish and began the crusade against the Chaos Cult. The beliefs in the lower deck were rich and colorful, and the state religion was completely dark under the light.
After capturing the fleet, when the flagship returned to the sky over the pilgrim world, all the planetary mines, space stations, pilgrimage sites, and sky memorial areas in this galaxy except the main star were captured. .
Yifeng issued a retreat order to withdraw the Astartes troops from the muddy battlefield. The next war will only delay our time.
If you don’t grab it fast enough, you’ll lose money!
In the past, one ton of ammunition could be used to grab two tons of state religion treasures, but now one can only grab one ton! Rounding it off, I have to pay for my pants.
This mysterious army disappeared again in Mandeville Point, leaving behind a ruins and corpses burning in flames. Their firm faith did not let Chaos take advantage of it, but the remaining battle nuns and ecclesiastical priests swore to Make the enemy pay in blood.
A few days later, the Black Templar fleet arrived, and the remaining military forces of the pilgrim world spontaneously gathered together. Most of the Astra Militarum guarding the world were engaged in disaster relief, but the battle sisters and priests joined the expeditionary force and launched a pursuit of the Red Torrent.
But... the Red Torrent fleet disappeared.
I searched several sub-sectors along the subspace channel, left, right, up and down, but found no trace of my opponent.
We are not going to subspace.
The Fengyun-class battleship shuttles with a Tau engine and heads towards the next world in the physical space.
Because there were too many disabled warships installed inside the flagship, it could not carry those conventional warships such as the Moon-class and Ambition-class warships, so it directly returned to the agricultural world before.
At this time, the First Expeditionary Force was carrying out a wave of cleansing of the world. Just as planned, they quickly discovered the "Chimera armored vehicles presented by Yifeng" and targeted the nobles according to the list of forces that owned these armored vehicles. .
This massacre basically completed the purge of the nobles, and they were about to start screening a large number of slaves. At this time, some red torrent ships reappeared in the galaxy.
This vanguard army immediately recalled the Astartes on the planet and opened up the battle array.
The Red Torrent is still the same, with the old rival battle barges at the front and the Ambition-class battleships at the back serving as fire support.
This battle was another undoubted victory for the Dark Angels. That's what the Imperial newspaper wrote anyway. It was a great victory that severely damaged the enemy fleet and captured a large amount of supplies and several ships.
In fact...it was originally their strike cruiser, so it was natural that it should be taken back.
Anos repaired half of it and could barely drive it. Because he was anxious to install his own battleship, he vomited it out. Yifeng ordered a lot of fine gold battle armor to be put in the warehouse, and a large amount of captured armor was put in the pharmacist's room. of Dark Angel gene-seed.
Rogier said that the memories of those crazy people might be inherited by the next generation of recruits at an inexplicable time, causing a lot of trouble. The division commander returned the gene seeds in a more reasonable way.
After Azrael obtained the test reports of multiple pharmacists, these seeds were confirmed and ordered to be used for the transformation of new recruits.
The "traitor's rout" was lost in pursuit.
Yifeng has been very careful, but it is still difficult for the ships to follow the People's Light in subspace. Three Ambition-class cruisers have confirmed that they have lost contact because the fleet does not take conventional subspace routes, but uses The flagship was positioned towards the key attack area.
The Fengyun-class battleship group is responsible for attacking the agricultural world and the processing world. In short, it is a world that provides basic supplies, but has little strategic value. It is a poor world without a planetary void shield. It alternately advances in the real world and subspace, and the route is unpredictable.
The flagship and the serious warships were approaching the area where the Alpha Legion claimed to be present, while going to the Forge World and the Paradise World.
The original target was a forge world, but...
The next stop is a paradise world, where we are just passing by.
This world does not exist on the star map, but rich and powerful people know about it, such as the bishops of the state church.
Many former political figures live here and now enjoy their old age here. Time has left too many traces on their bodies. Even the best beauticians in the empire cannot eliminate the wrinkles on their faces. People who are more than 300 years old Nobles are considered young people here.
This is a paradise for pleasure and a good place to sell stolen goods.
Not for this group of noble merchants who are ready to spend the rest of their lives, but to make a deal with the boss of this paradise world.
To make money, you nobles come here to spend money, there are always people who want to make money. The bosses in the paradise world have strong backgrounds, and there is no business in the galaxy that they dare not do.
Buying and selling aliens, illegally using biotechnology to create beautiful orc attendants, and preparing activities that could be called Slaanesh are all common things.
Gorgeous decoration is the basic thing. In terms of gorgeousness, how can it be compared with the state religion? Just ripped it off the church, 90% new. Do you want it?
There are a lot of rare gems to touch.
At this time, Nian Cijin's guidance was very professional. He asked the fleet to line up in a hidden position at the outermost edge of the galaxy, and then sent a small ship to notify the world below.
After the other party confirmed that this fleet could wipe out all the ashes they raised, the planet's general manager urgently took time out of his busy schedule on the grounds that his own mother and father were killed by nine tribes, but he was not able to reach him.
The conference room was still the same conference room. Yifeng took a sip of tea and sat at the far end. Can you imagine a row of long conference tables that are 190 meters long?
Sitting next to them were think tanks and veterans not wearing anti-psionic armor, sitting in two rows. Who wouldn't tremble when they entered the conference room and saw such a scene?
The Planetary Controller does not.
He maintained his composure, his body trembling slightly. He looked at almost a company of Emperor's Angels sitting upright, and his calves couldn't help but tremble.
He tried his best to straighten his back, and his deliberate posture made the solemn ceremonial clothes tight, and the buttons trembled slightly with his body, so small that only Astartes could observe it.
The bad news is that this place is full of Astartes.
Nian Cijin sat next to him, gave him a cold look, and said, "Sit down, do you still want me to pull out a chair for you?"
"Don't you dare~" The steward elegantly sat on the main seat at the other end, glanced at Yifeng and then lowered his head.
"Dear Emperor's Angel, I didn't know about your group's trip..."
"Deal, private deal, we have what those rich guys want, and I know you can give me what I want."
The 190-meter-long table was filled with Astartes. At the same moment, they all took out a pink sack from under the exquisite silk tablecloth.
The contents of the sack were dumped onto the tablecloth.
The manager's head was buzzing, and there was still a smile on his face. His head was empty at the moment. Anyone who saw this scene would be confused.
"I don't know, noble Astartes, the source of these treasures is..."
"First of all, you can call us rebels. Of course, you can also call us followers of Imperial Fists Chapter Master Maximus."
The manager broke into a cold sweat. He didn't know who Maximus was. Even the fool knew the word "rebel".
"You are kidding me. In such a sacred place, where the Eagle emblem hangs high, where the Emperor's eyes are watching, where I sit here with the Emperor's angels, how could there be rebels..."
The planet manager subconsciously reached out and took out a handkerchief from his pocket to wipe the cold sweat on his head.
Nian Cijin suddenly stretched out his hands and grabbed the outstretched palm of the steward: "My confidant! You are indeed an elite who is in charge of the affairs of a planet. Why didn't we meet you earlier? Why didn't those rabble understand it? , we take the founding group Imperial Fist as our idol!”
Before the manager could react, Nian Cijin said a lot of words like he was pouring beans.
"We are all sons of Dorne. What's wrong with admiring the mother group? What's wrong with imitating the glorious history of the mother group? Isn't that what we should be doing!"
"It should, it should, ha~~" The manager's wrist was pinched and it hurt, but he didn't dare to complain at all and gritted his teeth and persisted.
"Tell me, what's wrong with me waiting for the Mother Legion to kill Fankrich and annihilate Vandire? There's nothing wrong with it. We're advancing under the Emperor's call, and we're bound to march forward with unstoppable momentum. ....”
After a long time, the steward's hand was almost deformed and turned black and blue, and he finally pulled it out of Nian Cijin's big hand.
"You are all the pillars of the empire. If there is anything you can use for me, please mention it. I will help you at all costs."
Now, the manager no longer dares to ask about the origin of the treasure. If Nian Cijin talks to him again, he will not take his hand.
"We won't let you do things you can't do. What we need is information. You know, in the paradise world below, there are countless high-ranking officials and famous generals, the words they inadvertently said in their sleep, and the few words spoken by the pillow. , don’t tell me that you have no records at all.”
Yifeng was still clasping the table with his knuckles, one at a time, completely synchronized with the supervisor's heartbeat, and at the same time, the pressure on the supervisor was huge.
The manager, who had seen countless big scenes, suppressed his blush at this time and whispered: "Those are all core secrets. We dare not keep them. The maid who knew about them died the next day..."
"If you say so, then there is some. I want these. There are arsenals there, there are treasures hidden there. Where do the funds usually paid by the big guys come from? I want this information, down to the smallest details."
Yifeng's rhythm suddenly changed, and he missed a beat when he clicked his knuckles. The planetary governor almost died on the spot, clutching his heart and his whole body began to spasm unconsciously.
"Go and take a look at these treasures. They are all top-notch. Keep them carefully... What if someone robs these precious treasures? Don't worry, I will give you the best bodyguards."
Yifeng clapped his hands, and several door openings suddenly appeared on the left wall, and the clean and tidy "Ogryn Guards" came out.
"Hey, these guards are stupid, you can use these." Yifeng clapped his hands again, and several door openings were opened in the wall on the right, and the "Great Skitarii" who were ready to go came out of them.
The planetary controller was held up by a group of "super bodyguards" and dragged back to his shuttle.
......
In the next month, the flagship moved quickly, and the surrounding star areas were hit with unprecedented precision. Some worlds only announced that they were attacked by interstellar pirates because the lost supplies "never existed", while some worlds announced with great fanfare that there were Chaos traitors. When he appeared, his arsenal was robbed, and he stole several times of the supplies stolen by Red Torrent, and added them to the stolen share.
The pursuit troops of the First Expeditionary Force were full of questions. This fighting style of kicking and hammering left them confused. They were obviously the size of the Great Expeditionary Force, but they were looting. More importantly, , where did the supplies come from?
The clever Dark Angels quickly deployed surveillance troops at the subspace passage points of various forge worlds. This group of traitors who had robbed so much supplies must find a place to convert the supplies into armaments.
Including the foundry world that Yifeng is eyeing.
The information in this world all comes from Nian Cijin's first trade fleet. After Nian Cijin compiled a technology list that could make Yifeng drool, the foundry world completely rejected the transaction and did not ambush their actions.
Everything shows that the secret of this forging world is not what it seems.
Although the troops of the Red Torrent moved very secretly in the subspace, they still triggered the alarm of the Dark Angel.
A large number of low-level worlds are falling. Something must not happen to important hive worlds and forging worlds, otherwise this sector will be completely corrupted.
Azrael immediately organized a fleet to set off, and mobilized 200 ships from the intact ships to form an encirclement and suppression force. The remaining troops continued to consolidate the empire's defense against the counterattack of the aliens in the Ghoul Star Territory.
These troops are led by the Grand Master of Deathwing. Azrael's original intention is that these people's combat effectiveness wearing Terminators is stronger than that of recruits wearing adamantine armor. There is no need to kill them and let the winner take care of it.
It was like reviewing the remaining backbone of the battle group in front of the Forbidden Army, indicating that it was almost done, and they couldn't really kill the first legion completely.
The foundry world Yifeng chose did not agree.
When dozens of main battleships entered Mandeville Point, in the forging world below, the servitors were no longer in the factory, the vast plantations were deserted, and the hellish mining fields were completely silent.
Most of the "people" gathered in front of the communication terminal, and the bishop's impassioned speech was played on a large TV.
.......
Speech by the Gene Cult.
"The day of ascension is coming. Today, the material preparations for the ascension altar are ready. Brothers and sisters, the ten thousand-armed god is calling us. Now I announce that the construction of the ascension altar has officially begun!"
As the ribbon-cutting ceremony ended, a dense crowd of Gene Sect workers immediately appeared on the huge pedestal behind them, and they devoted themselves to their work with full enthusiasm.
This is a huge spiritual summoner that can amplify the spiritual energy gathered by believers several times and reach beyond the galaxy.
