Travel to Warhammer 40K with Gray Wind

Chapter 156 The Sleeping Lion

"All right……"

The calm but irrefutable words of the mechanical angel made Listia lose the mood to continue chatting with it.

Silently, Anti-Entropy waited for the welcoming team of the Reipt family.

The Navigator family that ruled Nifl Prime brought many professional psykers certified and trained by the Tribunal and nuns of the Ecclesiarchy to test Listia's safety and purity. The tedious process took more than 40 minutes to complete. .

In fact, simply running errands to deliver a letter does not take long, but the Reipt family has long been deeply bound to the local state religion, and the star bomber designated Listia to personally hand over the documents he entrusted to Nifl. The words of the state religion are personal matters... This means that she needs to meet the prophetess Alexei directly.

Interrogations at all levels are naturally inevitable. In the post-preparatory stage of the Terra Expeditionary Force, Alexey can be said to be one of the most dangerous and important figures in the entire Far Eastern Frontier.

After handing the sealed document to the prophetess, Listia left Nifl with doubts and set out for the forging world of Musbel, where she met the "Pure Teacher", the senior judge who holds the Blood Rose Knot, and the ruler. Sage Coster is there.

Standing on the top of the hive spire and looking up at the Ring of Destruction, which is as huge as an asteroid and carrying the convoy fleet, leaving the orbit of Nifl Prime in a mighty manner, the patriarch of the Reyput family "Krum Reyput" "I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but my heart still couldn't calm down for a long time.

Krum Reypt turned around and looked behind him. Alexey Reypt was sitting upright on the chair, waiting expectantly for the nun to open Listia for her with a dagger. The fire seal on the delivered document.

"Although it is quite rude to say this, Alexei, I hope you will not blame me for being paranoid - the messenger of the Star Bomber brought 27 unidentified military ships close to the size of a Moon-class cruiser, as well as a machine close to a small A planet-sized space fortress; I hope you understand what a force this is."

"A powerful fleet of this size did not go through any advance application. The military force capable of annihilating planets just made a temporary greeting and came directly to the sky above Nifl Prime... Even if the star bomber is an ally of the empire, it is too dangerous. ”

Krum told the prophetess his worries, and the anti-entropy-controlled Ring of Destruction had already passed through the orbit of Nifl Prime, and slowly drove into the boundless darkness outside the galaxy under the watchful eyes of many "send-off" reconnaissance teams. , rendezvoused with the three previously separated battleships.

The temporary division of troops is based on both political and security considerations.

The length of the lightning strike ship built by the critical base shipyard is about 3 kilometers, and the hull specifications are slightly shorter than the standard length of the human empire's moon-class cruiser, which is about 5 kilometers. Although there are more, they are still under the fragile nerves of the imperial bureaucrats. Within the tolerance range.

In comparison, the length of the Stars battleship using the ridge bow structure is 64 kilometers. Although due to the excessive main gun specifications, it can be said that the entire ship of these battleships is completely built around a gun barrel, and 1/3 of the battleship's volume is a hollow gun barrel;

The price of using a ridged bow to obtain ultra-long-range strike capability is that the structural strength of the battleship will be inferior to that of an Imperial battleship using an adamantine keel structure... In other words, it is not collision-resistant.

Despite this, sending three behemoths far larger than the Queen of Glory into Nirvana at such a sensitive moment would be tantamount to a declaration of war for the expedition fleet anchored in the system.

"Politics is so troublesome... It's easier to do research." Listia slumped down on the seat in the Colossus control room and showed a hopeless expression to the mechanical angel.

The negotiations with the Navigator family, the Adeptus Mechanicus, and the Inquisition made her quite tired, and the diplomatic words she memorized before leaving were useless. While feeling tired, she also solved a doubt: Why was she, the least popular person in the Order of Truth, elected by her colleagues to accept the diplomatic mission entrusted by the leader?

After being tortured by the complicated titles and negotiation procedures within the Mechanicus for the twelfth time until her brain overheated, she finally understood the reason.

"The atmosphere in the Order of Truth is such that when most of the monks resell arms in the black market, they hire middlemen to negotiate with customers on their behalf. Therefore, they receive kickbacks all year round. I do not recommend this behavior..."

The Mechanical Angel thought for a while and felt that his suggestion was probably useless, so he said: "Sociable members like you, madam, are actually very rare in the Order. With this precedent, it can be foreseen that in the future For a long time the monks will leave most of the foreign affairs to you."

So I am considered a sociable person... Listia felt that she had some clues as to why she was not popular.

Away from Nirvana's field of vision, the assembled fleet, headed by three battleships, deployed a defensive posture to protect the Ring of Destruction colossus in the middle. At the same time, they activated the holographic invisibility field and the jump engine - the reason for not using the psychic invisibility field was because of the lack of spirituality. Can dust.

Listia quickly stood up from her paralyzed state and used the sound array communication array to state to all the combatants in the fleet:

"Everyone is ready for battle. I repeat, everyone is ready for battle. In 20 minutes, we will jump directly into the fierce battlefield filled with green-skinned orcs and the armed forces of the Human Empire. Our war will be completed when the jump is completed and the curvature of space is stabilized. Beginning the moment we come down; do not let our alliance with the Imperium let down our guard even a little and be prepared for attacks from either side - we will slaughter a world and make enemies of all humans and orcs in the system."

"In the name of truth, we will purify Aurora."

"The cooldown time of the jump engine is 200 days. This mission is estimated to take 1.5 standard Terran years. Then - let's go."

Her words fell among the stars. High-power engines roared and tore space and time into pieces. The superdimensional rift that suddenly opened swallowed up a colossus the size of an asteroid. The war fleet that was ready to go disappeared into the dark expanse. In space.

This fleet carrying the wrath of the Star Bombers has set off, and they are about to cause an uproar in Esbanese with the death of nearly 100 billion people in a world.

But before that, the three small documents sent by Listia not long ago had already caused a deep earthquake with an even greater impact within the human empire.

The earthquake began on the top floor of the hive city on Nifl Prime. The dozens of pieces of parchment in the hands of the prophetess Alexei were filled with concise and neat handwriting. Russell's handwriting does not have the fancy continuous strokes and squiggles like those of the imperial aristocrats. Every symbol is straight and clear, and it looks quite comfortable.

Even lower-class people who are accustomed to speaking regional dialects can easily recognize some of the words:

"Dark Angel... Caliban, Fallen Angel... The Unforgiven, the Lion Sleeping Deep in the Stone..."
