Travel to Warhammer 40K with Gray Wind

On the equator of the main star of Nifl, located on the towering spire of the Saint's Day area, the prophetess Alexei sat in the conference hall, facing various inquiries from many parties.

"Dimitri has told me everything, dear prophet. I have no intention of questioning the empire's judgment, but a war group that has been fighting through fire and water for the empire for thousands of years, fighting the enemy until it was almost completely destroyed, just because of the absence of one war He will be declared a traitor, all past glory and achievements will be erased, and he will be removed from the empire. Such a decision would be too rash."

The speaker was an Astartes veteran wearing bronze power armor with three deep scars on his face.

The current chapter leader of the Dark Angels sub-group "Death Stalkers": Owen.

Alexey nodded slightly tiredly.

Owen held his sword tightly and spoke loudly in a long, hymn-like tone: "Mirak and I have known each other since we were new recruits. At that time, the Death Stalker Chapter had not yet been established... We had He charged into the broken world where green skins were raging, and he also launched a desperate gang against the Chaos warship in the isolated and helpless warp storm..."

"Even in the most desperate situations and faced with the sweetest temptations, our will remains strong and the fire of penitence never wavers in our loyalty to the Emperor."

Owen spoke passionately about the various fierce battles he had experienced with Milak when he served in the Penitent Fire Chapter, as if he was singing a long and tragic heroic epic. But his impassioned emotions failed to bring a ripple to the prophetess's face.

Maybe it's because she didn't open her eyes at all?

"The Flame of Repentance will never commit a treasonous act to betray the God-Emperor. I request immediate permission to pass through the L-Star Gate to Falla to investigate the truth of the matter."

Seeing that Alexei was unmoved, Erwin emphasized again:

"We will never allow warriors loyal to the Emperor to suffer unjust injustice.!"

The majestic voice of the Death Stalker Chapter Leader echoed like a bell in the spacious meeting hall. Alexey sat upright and said nothing.

It wasn't until the echo of Owen's words completely disappeared and it was confirmed that he had stated everything he wanted to say that the prophetess slowly spoke: "Are you applying to me for the right to pass through the L-Star Gate?"

Alexei's tone was calm, and his gentle words without any emotion made both of Owen's hearts stop beating at the same time.

"Yes, respected prophet." Owen replied, stiffening his helmet.

Alexei then asked: "Do you really need to apply for this right from me?"

"...According to the information I know, the L-Star Gate is an ancient sacred object excavated from the human colony 'Faya' in the dark age of technology. Although the Adeptus Mechanicus controls the STC to build its sub-gate Standard construction template, but the only ones who hold the key to the main gate are the mysterious Immortal known as the Star Slinger. And you, the Emperor's Prophetess."

Owen used the strong willpower of Brother Astartes to suppress his inner emotions, and said calmly and seriously: "The Star-Buster Dragon has never seen its end. Most of the time, activating the right of passage of the main gate will fail. In your hands, venerable prophet. To whom else can I ask for passage?"

Alexey did not respond directly to his words, but turned to another matter: "Sir Owen, how many troops did you bring to Nirvana this time?"

Upon hearing this, Owen became increasingly uneasy, but he still responded clearly with a loud voice: "500 people, including me. Half of the Death Stalkers came to Nirvana with me. Regarding the survival of the brothers' chapter, many brothers are a little over-emotional. I tried hard to persuade the other 500 brothers of the chapter to drive the flagship and station it on the home planet, just in case."

"It's amazing." Alexey smiled.

A fully-strength Astartes Chapter would not hesitate to dispatch half of its troops for a reason that did not involve war deployment. This is enough to make any department of the Empire be wary of both Death Stalkers and Penitent Fires. The overly close relationship between the brothers.

Irving openly told the truth that might put him in a predicament of suspicion, which seemed to prove that he had no guilt about it.

"The flagship of the Death Stalker Chapter, the Soul Stalker, is indeed anchored in the Trodom system at the moment. The 500 fully armed Astartes on board are always alert to the threat of green skins."

Alexey suppressed the smile on his lips, and his tone became serious: "But as far as I know, your war group has always used excuses such as war damage and genetic contamination to pay less tax on genetic seeds. You guys Using these additional gene seeds to secretly expand the organization, the actual number of Death Stalker Chapters should be between 1,300-1,600."

Looking at the beautiful but expressionless face of the prophetess, Owen, a strong Astartes who had never been timid even in the face of the Orc Warboss and Chaos Demons, felt something close to fear for the first time.

"500 warriors stayed on the home planet, and 500 warriors followed you to Nirvana. What about the remaining few hundred people?" Alexey asked in a calm tone without any anger: "Where have they gone? Can you tell me? What about me? Chapter Master?"

"You are worthy of being the emperor's prophetess. All lies are invisible to you." Owen lowered his head deeply.

There is no point in quibbling. Owen organized his words, wanting to confess the truth without distorting the facts or revealing deeper secrets. He tried his best to put all the blame on his own shoulders. In this way, at least Death Stalker The serial number of the person can be preserved and will not be wiped out by the empire together with the fire of repentance.

"The war in the west of the Asker galaxy is getting intense. The orc tribe there has become more ferocious for some reason, and the warriors of Esbanese are in a bitter fight."

Very abruptly, Alexey changed the topic to a completely unrelated place: "Although the Imperial Guard is equipped with powerful weapons obtained from the Order of Truth, the orcs have not been continuously suppressed. Such fierce fighting has brought about The stimulation only made these dirty and savage greenskins even more motivated."

"...It is indeed a very troublesome trouble." Owen didn't understand what the prophetess was implying when she talked about the war, so he could only frown and continue.

Too brave but lacking in emotional intelligence... Alexey coughed lightly and continued: "The war in Ask is urgent, but other directions in Esbanese are also being attacked by different enemies, and no troops can be mobilized for reinforcements. "

At this point, even Owen could understand the meaning.

"The Death Stalkers will fully reinforce Asik and put down the orc threat there." Owen said immediately.

"The Emperor's light shines on the journey of the expedition, and you will triumph." Alexei crossed his hands on his chest and performed a more restrained Aquila salute.

"We will return victoriously." Owen bowed in return and strode out of the meeting hall with a broadsword in his hand.

He will lead the Deathstalkers on a crusade, a crusade of redemption.

After sending Erwin away, Alexei gently patted his chest and relaxed slightly.

The prophetess, who didn't even know how to wear clothes, knew almost nothing about politics, but she had to deal with such a thing personally, which was really embarrassing for her.

At the same time, Alexey was also a little curious. The Death Stalker Chapter actually secretly reached some kind of cooperation with the Great Sage Coster of the forging world Musbell without permission, and hid hundreds of Space Marines in the machine. Inside the order's foundry ship, they rushed to the Flare Galaxy where the Flame of Penance was missing.

What kind of secrets are hidden among the sub-groups of the Dark Angels?

Unable to immerse himself in curiosity for too long, Alexei's thoughts were interrupted by another meeting request.

The person who is going to talk to her face to face this time is a high-level technical sage from Musbel. He represents the will of the great sage Coster, namely:

The rapid development of the urban planet Embra in recent times and the close relationship between the rebellious Sage Spangler and the Order of Truth have made Musbel unable to endure it any longer. Even if Embra's independence has become a fact, Musbel Still hoping to get something.

For example, the STC standard construction template for creating an ideal city, such as the various ancient technologies exchanged between Spangler and the Order of Truth... The oil guys on Musbell have reached the limit of their patience. Their hearts are racing, their thirst is unbearable, their circuits are crackling, and they can't wait any longer.

In addition to the appeals of the Adeptus Mechanicus, there are also diplomatic envoys from other surrounding star regions, waiting in line to be received by the prophetess.

The envoys carry the will of the governors of each sector. Even if they pay some price, these sectors that are still trapped in subspace navigation hope to connect their sector capitals to the L-Stargate network as soon as possible. The price can be negotiated.

Many important galaxies in Esbanese also have the same appeal, and they are more eager than the diplomatic envoys sent from the surrounding star regions. Just because they, the prophets of the Spring River Plumbing Duck, have already personally experienced the consequences brought by the Stargate Network Strong traffic and therefore more desire.

In addition, there is the increasingly powerful orc threat, and the increasingly rampant black market transactions... although these transactions are controlled by the followers of the Star Bomber.

The Tribunal is active more frequently in Nirvana and other galaxies, and the National Religion also has its own actions, creating an undercurrent.

Russell, who was afraid of trouble, just threw out the influential factors and let them grow wildly, ignoring the mystery. Such irresponsible behavior gave Alexey a headache.

She is obviously not a political official. She has only learned various psychic spells and imperial hymns since she was a child. Because of her close contact with the Star Destroyer, she was forced to deal with this by the interest representatives of all forces. This will only cause endless wrangling. Bad things...

There is an illusion that she has changed from a working girl working under the emperor to a working girl working under the Star Bomber.

After sending the technical sage away after some deception, Alexei slumped down on the soft seat tiredly, propped his chin with one hand and looked unconsciously toward the northeast - that is the Dream Nebula and the star Osbaneus. relative position of the area.

This sudden appearance of the star cluster also caused a lot of trouble to the prophetess, because Russell asked her to mobilize a large number of ships to completely block the Lost Dream Nebula, and no one was allowed to enter.

If such a large resource-rich unowned star field is left undeveloped and hundreds of livable planets left uncolonized, it is conceivable that even a highly respected person like Alexei will be under considerable pressure and Criticism.

It's a pity that the star bomber has no idea of ​​her hard work. He only thinks that the hard work of the working girl who works for the emperor is so satisfying.

With some resentment as if he was angry, Alexey gently took off the cloth covering his eyes, opened a pair of beautiful violet eyes, and looked towards the direction of the Lost Dream Nebula with his spiritual sight shining with little golden light.

This is not the first time she has observed the Dreamless Star Group. The complex star cluster entangled with chaotic threads looks particularly calm in the turbulent subspace. It is so calm that it is out of place. Alexei will look there if he has something to do. Eyes, the calm picture I see is similar every time.

Same thing this time.

The huge whirlpool composed of countless celestial bodies is still slowly rotating. The closer you go to the center of the whirlpool, the denser the starlight becomes. When projected into the subspace, it is a calm and ambiguous water surface, as usual... Wait, there seems to be somewhere Something is wrong.

Alexei frowned unconsciously as she looked at it, looking for what made her feel wrong. Soon, she found it:

——The vortex is spinning in the opposite direction.

Several cantilevers of the Dreamless Star Cluster are rotating in the opposite direction in a direction completely contrary to their own shape. The endless starlight is gathering and disappearing towards the center of the whirlpool at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if there is an invisible black hole swallowing the celestial body there. Return everything to nothingness.

"What happened?" The prophetess' mentality was greatly shocked.

She tried to use the ability she got from the Eldar Prophet to observe the threads of destiny, but found that the intricate and chaotic lines that were originally entangled with the Dreamless Stars had all broken apart at some point.

This star field seemed to be isolated and isolated from the entire universe. It was carrying out its own movement and disappeared quickly and quietly.

Alexey suddenly remembered that Russell had found him in a hurry not long ago and requested that all the guard fleet stationed outside the Lost Dreams constellation to block the stowaway ships should also be withdrawn.

She originally thought that the Star Destroyer had seen the fierce battle between Esbanese and multiple alien forces, so he deliberately asked these guard fleets to leave their posts and join the battlefield to ease the tense battle situation.

...it doesn't seem to be the case now.

"Did he foresee this happening a long time ago?" Alexey murmured to himself as he looked at the Dreamless Stars that quickly reversed, shrunk, and disappeared.

"Or is this what he caused?"

The Prophetess has always scorned the theory promoted by the new sect of the Ecclesiarchy that the Star Slinger is the incarnation of the Emperor walking on earth. But after witnessing the reverse flow of the galaxy with my own eyes...

She was a little shaken.
