#178 - The Word Bearers' Custodians' Aura of Insufficiency
The greenskins are guiding the Rending Tempest alliance!
To be precise, the Bone Drinkers are guiding the Rending Tempest alliance!
After the Rending Tempest alliance completes signal calibration, their fleet will be able to travel directly to the Milky Way galaxy through the warp, without having to rely on triangulation for short-range jumps.
From this, it seems that the greenskins' two planets have become a bridgehead for the Rending Tempest alliance to return to the Milky Way.
The slender objects on the planet's surface should be some kind of warp beacon.
Li Nuo is a little curious about the structure and principle of this thing.
In his impression, the human empire has two beacons.
One is the well-known Astronomican, which is a typical warp beacon.
The other is the Pharos device used by Guilliman during the Horus Heresy when he secretly planned the Second Empire.
This thing is a technological product of the Necrons, which realizes point-to-point connection in the physical universe through quantum entanglement.
Peng Pai determined that the greenskins' planet is emitting a warp signal, then, the slender buildings should be some kind of psychic device.
Li Nuo probably guessed how this psychic device works.
The greenskins create warp fluctuations through live sacrifices, and then convert the warp fluctuations into warp signals through some kind of psychic ritual taught by the Blue-Feathered Great Bird to transmit them.
The principle of this approach is similar to that of the Astronomican of Terra. The "living fuel" will eventually die tragically, except that one uses the desperate emotions of the sacrifice, and the other consumes the psychic's mental power.
Destroying the greenskins' warp beacon can delay the arrival of the Rending Tempest alliance.
But this cannot solve the problem of Palu's planet being harassed by the Bone Drinkers and the Rending Tempest alliance.
Li Nuo looked at the Beast in contemplation:
"How much cation explosive ordnance do we have in stock now?"
The Beast took out the data slate and flipped through it:
"There are about 100 tons, enough to make 1 giant Boomdakka."
100 tons, 1 giant Boomdakka... Li Nuo secretly estimated the power and felt that it was not enough.
Medium-sized ones are more than enough to attack ships below the flagship level, and giant ones can hit flagships and large space fortresses.
The cation storm formed by the colossal Boomdakka can cover one-third of the planet.
Small planet-sized ones can destroy the moon.
Moon-sized ones can destroy the planet.
If you want to get rid of the greenskins in one fell swoop, it has to be a moon-sized Boomdakka.
Roughly estimating, such a Boomdakka requires about 1 billion tons of cation explosives.
This will take until the year of the monkey to produce.
Li Nuo secretly pondered, it would be great if he could get two human empire's vortex torpedoes.
Ork technology should have weapons as awesome as vortex torpedoes.
But the problem is that the 'Ere We Go' power needs the Orks to have seen specific things to trigger it, and cannot be imagined out of thin air.
The calculatin' engine, findin' engine, cation bomb and other things that Li Nuo had figured out before were all figured out because he had seen the entities.
The same is true for vortex torpedoes.
Li Nuo must first see the main body of this thing before he can activate the 'Ere We Go' power.
But such an important national weapon, it is impossible to see it.
One cannot allow others to snore on one's bedside, but one's own overall strength is not enough, and things are indeed a bit difficult.
Li Nuo thought about it and didn't have any good countermeasures, so he could only exhort:
"We must be prepared for the worst, that is, the greenskins and the Rending Tempest alliance join forces to attack our planet. I have prepared a set of contingency plans, you listen carefully..."
While Li Nuo was preparing contingency plans for the hive city, he also prepared several sets for his Palu planet.
From Exterminatus to the Necrons' long-range strikes, to the joint encirclement and suppression of the Space Marine legions, every crisis was within Li Nuo's consideration.
First of all, the ground's farms, pastures, mushroom fields, mechanical workshops, smelting plants, forging plants and other production facilities are also gradually moved underground.
The sunlight needed for crop growth is guided underground through optical pipes in peacetime, and artificial sunlight is used in wartime.
The same is true for air and water, obtained from the surface in peacetime and from artificial sources in wartime.
The hydrogen-oxygen Squig can come in handy.
Li Nuo provided the Beast with a bag of genetically modified yeast.
This yeast is named "hydrogen-oxygen yeast" and is specially used to decompose water to produce hydrogen and oxygen.
Hydrogen will be made into a combustion improver for plasma reactors, and oxygen will be directly discharged into underground facilities to participate in the air circulation of the artificial ecosystem.
The source of water is easy to solve.
Seawater is drawn from the ocean and heated into steam by steam shafts to obtain clean water.
After the treatment of light, water, air, food, pollutant purification and recycling is in place in all aspects, an artificial ecosystem that can operate underground for a long time is formed.
". Finally, we have to cover the entrances and exits of the shafts and disguise them as ordinary turf, hills or forests. In this way, when we all hide in the underground space below 300 meters, the surface terrain will be similar to the original jungle. The enemy's scanning signals cannot penetrate 300 meters of soil, and they cannot find our traces. We can catch them off guard."
Li Nuo finished speaking the contingency plan in one breath. Ailon and Zalg had insufficient brain capacity and listened in a daze. The Beast followed the boss's train of thought.
"My head is so itchy, I feel like I'm going to grow a brain." Ailon muttered, scratching his head.
"Me too." Zalg followed up.
The Beast recorded what the boss said on the data slate and asked:
"Boss, what if the enemy uses exterminatus weapons such as vortex torpedoes on us?"
Then we'll just make a big fuss, what else can we do... Li Nuo smiled secretly and said:
"I've considered this point. First use the ground-to-air weapons in the war zone to intercept. It's best if the interception is successful. If it fails, we'll hide in the area below the artificial lava belt, where it won't be affected by exterminatus weapons."
"Okay, I remember."
Li Nuo checked the content recorded by the Beast and added a few omissions.
"By the way, Beast, how long will it take for our imitation greenskin ships to be built?"
"About half a month."
Li Nuo calculated the date.
It is now May 19th, and half a month later is around June 3rd.
On May 31st, he will trade the formula for synthetic starch. After the formula trade is over, he will be able to devote himself to dealing with the Rending Tempest alliance and the Bone Drinkers, and he will be able to personally command the imitated ships.
Li Nuo nodded:
"Then let's take action. Just do what I say. I will find a way to deal with the greenskins and the Rending Tempest alliance."
"Okay."
"Okay."
Li Nuo poked the tank with his staff:
"Peng Pai, you usually pay more attention to the movements of the greenskins. If they send another warp message, you must tell me as soon as possible."
"Okay."
Li Nuo and the Beast signaled with their eyes and "went offline" on the spot.
...
...
At the residence in the Apex Might king's district, Li Nuo opened his eyes in the light of dawn, and the system text refreshed.
[This Waaaagh simulation is over.]
[Settlement is in progress.]
[You received 1719 likes from the Steel Brave tribe, score + 5493.]
[You led the Steel Brave tribe to eliminate 104 Necron warriors, score + 1040.]
[You led the Steel Brave tribe to eliminate 1743 living metal spiders and beetles, score + 8715.]
[You led the Steel Brave tribe to eliminate 1 chief technician of the tomb world, score + 100,000.]
[You led the Steel Brave tribe to destroy 1 Necron stronghold, stronghold integrity 3.3%, score + 33,000.]
[A total of 148,248 simulation points were obtained in this simulation.]
[Remaining simulation points: approximately 7.12 million.]
Eh?
The Necron kill score is so high.
The points provided by a Necron warrior are almost the same as those of a low-level demon.
And destroying Necron strongholds can also get points.
The enemies of the Old Ones in the War in Heaven were mainly Necrons, warp demons and Star Gods.
Judging from the kill reward rules, it is a foregone conclusion that his system originated from the Old Ones.
Li Nuo thought for a while, turned over and sat up, quickly put on his clothes, and started the day's work.
It is now May 19th, and there are only 12 days left until May 31st, the day for trading the formula, and the various matters are being accelerated.
120 trading partners have signed the transaction agreement.
One-tenth of the trading partners paid in full and enjoyed a 40% discount, with a transaction amount of 600 million Throne Gelt.
The remaining trading partners adopted installment payment, with a down payment ratio of 15% and a down payment amount of 150 million Throne Gelt.
In order to welcome the upcoming trading representatives, Li Nuo began preparing half a month in advance.
The sewage diversion and transformation work of the airport has been completed, and the visiting ships will separately discharge pollutants such as domestic wastewater, engine coolant, and waste engine oil.
After domestic wastewater enters the sewage pool, a specialist will test it to see if there are any metabolites from Bone Drinkers.
Lino improved the testing method.
The original testing method was to put fluorescent tracers into the sewage pool.
Now it's different.
The latest novels are first published on 69shu bar!
The sewage will pass through a dense filter screen, which is coated with a permanent fluorescent tracer.
No matter what the concentration of metabolites is, as long as there are Bone Drinker metabolites in the sewage, the filter screen will emit fluorescence.
After this new type of wastewater detection pipeline was put into use, the test results received successively were truly amazing to Lino.
Almost every day, Bone Drinkers arrive at Nest Capital with the ships.
The density of these Bone Drinkers is not high, with only one appearing on average per day, and it does not disembark, but only stays briefly at the spaceport with the passing cargo ship before leaving.
Obviously, the Bone Drinkers have listed Epimeteus as a key target and send people over every day to check the situation, ready to counterattack at any time.
Lino dared not take it lightly.
He asked Amy, the acting commander of the Governor's Special Forces, the inspector of the Nest Capital Legal Department, and Harper, the commander of the Planetary Defense Forces, to jointly conduct a detailed search inside and outside Nest Capital.
Amy was responsible for directing the Governor's Guards to search the Royal Court District and the First District.
The Nest Capital Legal Department searched the Second to Tenth Districts of Nest Capital.
The Planetary Defense Forces launched a carpet search in the wild.
After searching the entire planet, no Bone Drinkers were found. Lino was relieved and concentrated his efforts on strictly guarding the spaceport, while also planning a plan to test the Word Bearers.
Here, I have to thank Epimeteus's climate.
When Nest Capital was built in the early years, the Governor's family paid for the construction with the planet's forests, minerals, and water resources, resulting in an extremely harsh ecological environment on the entire planet.
Sandstorms, acid rain, and thunderstorms alternated, making it completely unsuitable for the survival of the Bone Drinkers' parasitic spores.
The natural barrier formed by the harsh weather just cut off the path of parasitic spores spreading in the wild.
As long as the planet is rotten enough, no creatures can survive, and only the artificial environment of Nest Capital can offer a glimmer of hope.
This can also be regarded as a dark joke in the Warhammer world.
In the blink of an eye, the time came to May 31st.
In order to welcome the trading representatives who arrived, Lino put on the Governor's attire, which was a rare occurrence.
This is a layered robe, divided into five layers from the inside to the outside.
The innermost layer is a cotton shirt as soft as a young girl's slender hands, the outermost layer is a gorgeous coat with rich colors and gold and silver embroidery, and the middle three layers are responsible for bulletproof, fireproof, electric shockproof, strong acid and alkali proof, and poison proof.
Under this wide robe, Lino was covered with personal protective equipment - waste shield generator, anti-psyker device, gas alarm, force field rosary.
Anything that can save his life, he puts on his body.
After such a dress up, he went from a well-proportioned young man to a tall man with a slightly bulging belly.
He was so cautious purely because there were too many and too mixed people coming today.
In order to ensure that the escort of the formula was foolproof, the representatives of all parties were accompanied by armed personnel with formidable combat power.
The trading representatives of the Space Marine Chapter were followed by a company of veterans and a librarian, all wearing master-crafted power armor.
The trading representatives of the Sector Governor were served by the Governor's Guards, each wearing an extremely expensive customized version of power armor.
The Sector Governors who were on good terms with the Adeptus Mechanicus even entrusted a Skitarii robot squad to escort the formula.
The Rogue Traders were not to be outdone.
Customized version of power armor, anti-gravity motorcycle squad, hired psychic experts from the Star Torch Court, an arbiter from the Legal Department who somehow "mingled" with the Rogue Traders, and Ogryn bodyguards wearing special power armor.
The Imperium during the Great Crusade was really prosperous in military power, with an explosive amount of weapons and equipment, and various combat units of the Human Empire appeared in turn like they were participating in a reality show.
The good news is that on this day when many forces gathered together, the Bone Drinkers did not dare to make trouble, and there was peace and harmony inside and outside Nest Capital.
The bad news is that the future rebels also sent their representatives and were showing goodwill to Lino, trying to win over this Governor who focused on scientific research to their camp.
The first to bear the brunt was the Word Bearers, who loved to engage in verbal battles.
Lorgar, Erebus, and Kor Phaeron did not appear on the scene. The trading representative they sent was named Xaphen.
Xaphen was wearing a suit of master-crafted power armor. The metal arc on his shoulder had the symbol of the "Serpentine Sun." The power armor was mainly red, and the pious scriptures worn on his right shoulder had no characters, leaving only a blank sheet of paper.
Judging from the red skull pattern on his shoulder armor, Xaphen should be a chaplain in the "Serpentine Sun."
The Word Bearers Legion was the only legion during the Great Crusade to establish the position of "chaplain."
As for the meaning of "Serpentine Sun," Lino had already learned about it through public data. This was a warband from the Word Bearers Legion.
"Lord Wilshere, it is a pleasure to meet you. I am Xaphen, a chaplain of the 7th Company of the Serpentine Sun."
As a Space Marine, Xaphen kept his posture very low, even bowing slightly to Lino to express some purposeful kindness and gentleness.
His appearance had obvious Colchisian characteristics: high cheekbones, nasolabial folds, and thin lips. He was frightening when he was not smiling, and he was as gentle as a spring breeze when he preached.
Of course, public preaching is a thing of the past.
Since the destruction of Monarchia, the Word Bearers Legion has abandoned its past doctrines under the supervision of the Custodes.
They burned the Lectitio Divinitatus, bid farewell to their past beliefs, and expanded their territories like normal Space Marine Legions.
But this is just an appearance.
If the Word Bearers really embraced the Imperial Truth, they should not have retained the position of "chaplain" within the Legion.
But the fact is that after the destruction of Monarchia, the Word Bearers Legion not only retained the position of "chaplain," but also allowed "chaplains" to hold regular internal lectures with obvious preaching characteristics.
The Custodes stationed in the Word Bearers knew about these things, but they turned a blind eye to them. (Note 1)
This scene is simply incredible.
As a Cloud Hammer, Lino sincerely felt that the Custodes were unreliable when he saw the relevant short videos.
People are preaching on your face, and you don't even care.
What's the use of Emperor having you golden corn cobs?
No wonder the Emperor's butt will be poked by the Webway demons…
"Lord Xaphen, you are too polite."
Lino smiled and bowed in return.
"It is truly an honor to receive the friendship from the Word Bearers Legion."
Xaphen smiled slightly:
"Lord Lorgar hopes to conclude a longer-term transaction agreement with you after this transaction is completed. In the name of the Primarch, this will be a mutually beneficial agreement for both of us. I hope to discuss it with you in detail after the formula transaction is completed."
"No problem, Lord Xaphen."
Lino stretched out his right hand towards the banquet hall door behind him, inviting the other party to enter the door.
"Then, I await good news."
Xaphen nodded slightly, and his steel-clad feet left a series of dents on the soft carpet.
He took a few followers into the venue, completely unaware that Lino's lips were trembling slightly.
"Amy, the Word Bearers are here, prepare to execute Project 'Oracle'."
"Received, start the operation."
Lino used the communication rosary to talk to Amy, who was behind the scenes, and then raised a smile to welcome the next trading team.
Today, he wanted to test whether the Word Bearers had been corrupted by Chaos.
In the normal Warhammer history, the Word Bearers Legion had completed the "Pilgrimage" at this time.
The Serpentine Sun Warband, under the instruction of Lorgar, entered the Eye of Terror, turned off the Geller field of the ship, and faced the truth of the warp.
The Space Marines who returned alive from this "Pilgrimage" all became "Blessed Sons."
The so-called Blessed Sons have another name, which is Possessed Marines, meaning Space Marines with demons in their bodies.
In the normal Warhammer history, Xaphen was a Possessed Marine, and one of the first Word Bearers to become a Possessed Marine.
Lino planned to test Xaphen, find an opportunity to force out the demon in his body, and uncover the truth about the Word Bearers Legion's conversion to Chaos.
The Custodes responsible for supervising the Word Bearers had never been able to discover the demons in the bodies of the Possessed Marines. Lino did not think that his success rate in forcing out the demons was high.
But in any case, he intended to try.
