Long before the first L-Stargate was opened to navigation, Russell used the Zero Storm Projector to obtain a seemingly insignificant power on the Far Eastern frontier - the right to recruit troops.

The Star Bombers have the right to recruit one person per year from each planet in the Far Eastern Frontier. This number is completely negligible for an imperial world with a population of billions, tens or even hundreds of billions. The symbolic significance of this right to recruit soldiers is far greater. in practical significance.

That's good to say, but it also depends on what kind of soldiers you are recruiting.

For the Order of Truth, which is devoted to the study of psychic theory, the "untouchables" who are natural psychic insulators among humans are undoubtedly an excellent experimental security method, and this is indeed the case. The two soulless girls they selected from Falla have saved the lives of many scientists seeking death from experimental accidents involving psychic powers.

After the spiritual mouth/arms trade settled with psychic dust began, the Order of Truth used Russell's legal conscription rights as a cover and continued to search/purchase through various channels including the Inquisition and the black market. /Recruit the Untouchables, but they had no plans to organize the Soulless into an army at that time.

Fortunately, the scientists of the Order of Truth have always had a good style under the influence of the Star Bombers. The Soulless Ones, who are used to being experimental security personnel and occasionally guest-starring as experimental subjects themselves, are not very reluctant to put on power armor and transform into butchers.

In fact, the vast majority of the untouchables who belong to the Order of Truth are staunch supporters of the "star-buster is the incarnation of the emperor" branch of the state religion, which makes many monks quite uncomfortable.

The battle formation consisting of the Untouchables in Scholar Power Armor was eventually named:

"Night Rider"

Together with a squadron of Eldar banshees equipped with lobby-type light armor, they will join the expedition with the monks of truth.

...But there is a small problem here. Although they can directly instill systematic combat experience and tactics into the drivers of mobile armor in batches through memory infusion and other means.

However, due to the lack of real training and actual combat, the combat literacy of the Untouchables has always been difficult to reach the level of real battle-experienced Space Marines.

This may make the Night Knights pay a bloody price in the next expedition, but only in this way can they transform into real warriors.

Four years passed in hustle and bustle in peace, and the last Valkyrie-class battleship was finally installed in the Halo shipyard in Trodom.

The Valkyrie numbered 013 was named "The Heroic Heroine". She belonged to the "Blue Blood Nobles" sub-group of the Ultramarines that defended the important dockyard where a large number of warships were parked during the rebellion caused by the cultists.

As a sub-group of the Ultramarines, the Blue Blood Noble Chapter has a very complete organizational structure and very versatile ability to adapt to real situations. Therefore, even if the chapter leader who was the backbone was assassinated in the long-planned rebellion that year, the Blue Blood Noble Chapter did not fall into leaderless chaos for a short time as the cultists expected.

The first company commander, Fire Line, took over the power, quickly organized enough combatants, and made the wisest decision based on the known battlefield information-concentrating troops to protect the main dock.

It was precisely because of the thunderous methods and lightning actions of First Company Commander "Elliot" that the blue-blood nobles were able to save the main battleship force of the 13th Expeditionary Fleet from the cultists.

Now, Eliwood, who is already the chapter leader, led the whole group of blue-blood nobles to board the hull of the Valkyrie-class battleship "The Heroine" parked at the Troddom orbital dock, and personally prepared for this battle. The expedition that lasted for decades kicked off.

There are 13 expedition fleets gathered in Nirvana, each taking 13 different routes across the galaxy. As long as one fleet or even one battleship reaches Terra, it will be considered a success.

The route that the blue-blooded nobles want to take is to start from the Trodhom galaxy. The "Prince of Heroes" will start the warp engine, wrap the entire 13th Expedition Fleet in the warp bubble, and drive all the way to the southwest, crossing Damok. Lys Bay returns to the home of the Ultramarines - the former Five Hundred Worlds of Ultramar.

After the first stage of the voyage, they are expected to stop briefly in Macragge to replenish equipment and supplies, and receive troop support from the Ultramarines parent regiment.

And after building the L-Star Gate in Macragge, they continued their journey to Terra.

The routes of other fleets are also similar. The main task of this expedition is to send the construction template of the star gate to Terra. The secondary task is to obtain supplies from various important star systems passing by on the way and build the star gate locally.

Fortunately for those who support the bombing of the star, although Russell only gave the expedition fleet the construction template of the L-Star Gate sub-gate, the Technical Group of the Order of Truth that followed the 13 expedition fleets each had the ability to independently build the main L-Star Gate. Ability.

Among all 13 expeditionary forces, the most special one is the 6th Expeditionary Fleet, which was originally planned to be led by the Death Stalker. But after the Chapter was completely purged, the 6th Expeditionary Fleet became the only mortal expeditionary force without a Chapter Astartes leader.

In order to fill the vacancy of Death Stalkers, the Order of Truth sent the largest number of preachers to this fleet, a large number of Eldar banshees, and Night Riders, which formed the main combat force of the 6th Expeditionary Force, including the Ark of Elysium and the Oracle of Truth. Battlecruisers were also included.

This is an expedition fleet with the Order of Truth as the main force, and its flagship is the Valkyrie-class battleship - the "Vicious Woman".

It is said that the name comes from the fact that the ship's machine spirit is rather venomous and will sarcastically sarcasticize every little tactical mistake of the commander... Sarcasm is sarcasm, and the Venomous Woman's combat effectiveness and loyalty are very trustworthy.

And this fleet will also undertake the most direct tasks.

In the 001st year of the 40th millennium, a series of magnificent ships called Valkyries set off from the eastern border of the Galaxy, broke through the crazy green tide spreading across the starry sky, opened the curvature, and expedition to the star sea.

Unlike the other 12 expedition fleets that went in different directions, the 6th Expedition Fleet went against the trend and returned directly to Falla through the L-Star Gate, and then transferred through the terminal exit to arrive outside the galaxy. Critical base, quantum slingshot is waiting for them here.

"what is that?"

The imperial officer in the fleet looked at the center of the galaxy from a distance through his prosthetic eyes. He was shocked to find a huge octagonal cage, which was quietly rotating in the center of the galaxy, imprisoning an extremely bright pulsar in it.

"That's a quantum slingshot, a faster-than-light navigation tool. It's more convenient than a star gate, but a little unstable..." A truth monk briefly introduced the general function of this giant structure to the officer, and then said:

"We are about to be ejected to a very dangerous coordinate, so we are notifying the entire army. After we escape from the super-light speed state, we should not worry about anything and immediately look for the wide-area signal sent by the Vicious Woman. Everyone must gather to get there. The first priority is to be around Valkyrie.”

"...I understand." The officer nodded solemnly.

After reporting the situation, the Malicious Woman sailed toward the center of the galaxy along the thin electromagnetic pulse. All members of the 6th Expeditionary Fleet were in position within the launch range of the quantum slingshot, and a stream of light like rain cut through the sea of ​​stars.

The Terra Expedition has officially begun.
