The Undead Empire That Travels Through the Multiverse

Of course, it is impossible for a mere group of Chaos fleets to fight against this elite combined fleet of the Empire led by Admiral Speyer.

Almost in a single encounter, these chaotic ships were blown up.

Admiral Speyer's new ship didn't even restart the void shield, and the enemy had turned into a pile of broken wreckage.

If it were normal, these wrecks would be cleaned and salvaged. After all, the ships used by Chaos were contaminated by subspace. If these wrecks were left alone, it would still easily cause some unnecessary trouble.

What's more, some Chaos ships come from the era of the Empire's Great Crusade, and many of them can no longer be built by the Empire. Even the shattered wreckage is as attractive a treasure to the Mechanicum as a holy object.

Of course, if it was really a intact battleship from the expedition era, those iron-clad monsters in red robes would have already rushed up to it roaring or asked the fleet to ensure the integrity of the ship.

After all, in the eyes of the lunatics of the Mechanicus, this ancient technological creation is more important than anything else.

But this time, the Mechanicus sages accompanying the fleet did not make such a move. Instead, they cooperated and obeyed the orders given by Admiral Speyer, although Admiral Speyer did not order the Mechanicus. Fleet rights.

So the wreckage was left in place and handed over to the local garrison for disposal, while Admiral Speyer set sail again with the fleet.

So far, Admiral Speyer has at his disposal a battlecruiser, a Forge Ark, seven cruisers, and twenty-one frigates, as well as nine strike cruisers and a total of nine strike cruisers from seven different Space Marine Chapters. Twelve companies of Space Marines.

Such a huge military strength is also rare for the empire, especially the strength of twelve companies assembled by five battle groups. After the Great Crusade, only at critical moments for the empire would such a large-scale gathering of troops be seen.

This also made Admiral Speyer feel more and more doubtful and uncertain about their mission. What kind of mission required the use of such a huge military force and so many Space Marines?

In particular, four of the twelve companies are from the Blood Angels Chapter, and the other eight companies are also from six different Blood Angels sub-chapels.

Moreover, these seven chapters are all led by the Chapter Master himself. Seven of the twelve companies are companies of elite veterans equipped with Terminator armor. The Blood Angels even lead their most underrated Death Company. It shows how much they take this task seriously.

What on earth is this going to do? This question has always been lingering in the mind of Admiral Speyer. He judged that this mission should have a lot to do with the Blood Angels. Otherwise, there is no way to explain why the seven war groups dispatched are all related to the Blood Angels. relationship, especially the fact that all seven chapter leaders personally took action.

Is this kind of formation possible only when the Primarch traveled during the Great Crusade?

However, as soon as this idea appeared in Admiral Speyer's mind, he gave it up.

Are you kidding me? As we all know, the twenty-one Primarchs of the Empire had already fallen and left the Empire as early as the Great Rebellion.

Especially Sanguinius, the Primarch of the Blood Angels Chapter. The battle between him and Horus during the Great Heresy has long become an epic chapter promoted by the Imperial Church. Admiral Speyer even watched a play. It's called The Death of Sanguinius.

Therefore, it is impossible for Sanguinius to appear in this mission, and if he is really in the fleet at this moment, then this fleet should not be commanded by Admiral Speyer, but should be commanded by Sanguinius. Gilles, the great and noble Primarch, takes command.

But if this idea is rejected, Admiral Speyer will no longer be able to think of any explanation that can reasonably explain the current mission.

However, this does not affect Admiral Speyer's execution of this mission.

It doesn't matter if you don't know the details of the task, as long as you know what you have to do and try your best to do it well.

"Serve the Emperor, and die in peace." Praying again to the statue of the Emperor, Admiral Speyer ordered to the crew on the bridge: "All macrocannons are loaded with shells, and the light spears are ready to fire. , the entire ship maintains combat readiness at all times, lowers the protective compartment wall, activates the Geiger force field, and prepares the subspace engine. It is estimated that our journey will not be too peaceful."

"Yes, General!" The soldiers on the bridge responded loudly, conveying the admiral's order downwards.

As the admiral's order was conveyed, tens of thousands of sailors and crew members on the battlecruiser immediately began to get busy.

Although mankind is already in the era of the Galactic Empire, because it once encountered the Iron Man rebellion that destroyed the golden age of mankind, hatred of intelligence is absolutely prohibited in the empire. I think that all the machines in the empire also use machine souls to operate, and the universe Many of the machines on the battleship are mostly driven by human power or the most traditional mechanical transmission.

Of course, this Mars-class battlecruiser is also equipped with an organic soul. The brains taken out from the volunteers' bodies are processed into wetware hosts and installed in special life-support devices to maintain activity. At the same time, the wetware hosts themselves are also It becomes the machine soul of the ship, responsible for assisting the operation and operation of the ship.

Because it is a wetware host, it still retains some human emotions and instinctive biological reactions. Therefore, if you are too rough when sailing, or operate in violation of regulations, it will easily cause the machine spirit to be displeased. of.

Usually, in this case, only the priests of the Mechanicum can preside over a comfort ceremony to calm the anger of the machine soul so that the machine soul can continue to operate normally.

But even with the help of organic souls, there are still too many places where the empire can only use raw manpower.

Although mankind had a glorious Golden Age civilization and colonized the entire galaxy, the Iron Man rebellion that followed completely destroyed mankind's past civilization. Even though the Emperor reunited Terra and regained the territory of mankind through the Great Expedition, technology was eradicated and lost. The damage caused is immeasurable.

Up to now, neither the Mechanicus nor the Human Empire can make any more technological innovations and breakthroughs. The red-robed sages of the Mechanicus are more buried in old papers and doing archaeological excavations. From those ancient I found two or three useful phrases in the pile of books.

This also creates a strange feeling of a strange mixture of advanced and backward in human science and technology.

Just like the Mars-class battlecruiser they are riding at the moment, it is said to be advanced because it is a symbol of the empire's force, but on the other hand it is very primitive. A powerful and magnificent weapon like the Macro Cannon even requires manpower to carry out. After loading, it takes at least thirty minutes after a shell is fired to hear whether it hit the target and decide whether to reload.

Therefore, it has become a subconscious habit of many naval officers to prepare macro artillery in advance. After all, no one can bear the stupid bombardment of only one round in an hour.
