Travel to Warhammer 40K with Gray Wind

"Organic Encyclopedia", as the name suggests, is a comprehensive encyclopedia that records a large amount of genetic data on life genes of organisms.

This is an ancient relic from tens of millions of years ago, and it is also the name of the mechanical empire that left this relic.

The gentle mechanical empire is committed to collecting the genetic data of every organic life in the universe, indexing and storing it, hoping to prevent organic life from becoming extinct in some future galaxy-level astronomical disasters.

However, their work was not welcomed by everyone, and thwarted by stupid fanatics and a vicious hive mind, the Machine Empire was destroyed. In the end, their work was not completed, leaving only an "Organic Encyclopedia" that was not yet completed but still contained a large amount of precious genetic data.

Tzeentch, the Lord of Change, claimed that the Organic Codex had wandered into the Maelstrom, so the 6th Expeditionary Fleet came here.

The mighty fleet dragged the dense stream of light across the deep space, passing through the thin zone of nebula turbulence, leaving the planet named "Kovalik II" by the Human Empire far behind.

Planet Kovalik II is the frontline outpost set up by the Human Empire outside the Maelstrom. Several asteroid mining sites and monitoring stations are located here, constantly monitoring the movements of pirates and heretics within the Maelstrom.

Crossing Kovalik and entering into the rapids meant they had crossed the line between reality and fiction. The starry sky ahead is no longer clear and bright. The sticky blue-purple stars are like a pot of boiling paint that is constantly being stirred. The suffocating feeling rushing towards you, even just a glance, is enough to drive a mortal who is not mentally determined enough to go crazy.

"The tachyon sensor has failed, and the operation of the auspicious instrument is limited. We have entered the maelstrom turbulence, which is good." Plumelia stood on the bridge of the Malicious Woman, staring at a pot of thick soup in front of her. Tang’s weird starry sky.

"Are you scared? The psychic manager who is usually so serious and majestic turns out to be like a little girl who saw a monster for the first time and was so frightened that her legs became weak~" A soft and velvet female voice spoke to her. There was a faint sound in my mind, with a little bit of joking and full of pride.

"If you don't shut up within 2 seconds, I will send a group of photos of you wetting the bed as a child to all the battleships." Plumelia said calmly.

So the evil-mouthed woman shut up.

Plumelia sighed, feeling a little helpless.

The predecessor of the battleship machine soul of the Malicious Woman was from a local military aristocratic family in Falla. She was a coquettish young lady who had been pampered since she was a child. Strictly speaking, she was related to Russell, who had served as the governor of Falla.

If it weren't for these factors, the grumpy man with psychic powers should have asked Joshua for a dose of soul-eating toxin before setting off, and replaced the Evil Lady with a machine soul.

After the vicious woman kept her voice aggrievedly and did not dare to speak, Plumelia calmed down her complicated mood of anger and fear. She unbuttoned the two buttons under the collar with one hand and carefully pulled out a small and exquisite pendant from the front of her chest.

This was given to her by Russell before she left. The thin pale golden chain shone under the starlight, and the small crystal hanging at the end was only half the size of a little finger, carrying the slightest bit of warmth. This is a fragment of the Zeluo Soul Stone. In a sense, it can also be called the "Star Bouncer's Protection."

The Maelstrom is an eternally sweeping subspace storm. It is an exceptional area where the real universe and subspace overlap, and the laws of physics lose their meaning here. Conventional detectors are either completely paralyzed or their functions are greatly limited. They can only rely on psychic divination arrays and the soul circuits of the Eldar to conduct extremely dangerous subspace observations.

But the danger is only relative, far from absolute.

Plumelia lowered her eyes and looked at the soul stone fragments between her fingers, silently reciting in her mind the instructions given to her by the star bomber before leaving:

"The psyker who holds the Zelo Soul Stone fragment is protected by Guixu, and can ignore the turbulent waves of the Sea of ​​Souls, and is not afraid of the subspace vortex that drags people into the abyss. You can perform risk-free stabilization at will Warp Observation - You are the eyes of the 6th Expeditionary Fleet. In the maelstrom, our fleet will be more at home in the maelstrom than any Chaos cultist or warp daemon."

"I will definitely live up to your trust..." Plumelia held the soul stone fragments in front of her chest with both hands. Her green-like emerald eyes were as deep as a rootless and bottomless dark abyss at this moment, and she looked far away in front of her. The strange starry sky is mottled and sometimes sticky.

The empire's vice-admiral, Oguma quickly came behind Plumelia and asked in a low voice: "The star bomber only told us that the Organic Codex is in the maelstrom, but where are the specific coordinates in the maelstrom?" But we don’t know...should we split up and search from different directions?"

Oguma has a clear understanding of the strength of the 6th Expeditionary Fleet. In his opinion, although it will be more dangerous to operate separately, it can greatly increase the search speed.

Plumeria shook her head and rejected his proposal.

The Maelstrom is a very wide area filled with unnatural and supernatural phenomena. Even if they act separately, the search efficiency cannot be improved very high. On the contrary, without her navigation, other branch teams will be in a very dangerous situation, and the benefits will be completely disproportionate to the risks.

"We are outsiders and know almost nothing about the real situation in the big whirlpool. Instead of running around like headless flies and hitting the wall, we should take the initiative and let the locals who are more familiar with the local situation provide us with intelligence." Plumei Liya said.

"What do you mean...?" Oguma felt that this woman's idea was a bit dangerous.

Plumelia raised her hand, and the aggrieved and vicious machine spirit immediately projected the real-time star map that the 6th Expeditionary Fleet had surveyed and mapped as it advanced along the way in front of the two of them. Combined with some information about the Maelstrom Starfield provided by the Claws of the Starry Sky, a grand whirlpool star map was formed - most of the area was in a dark and unexplored state.

"We entered the Maelstrom from the 'Left Gate' star field where the subspace turbulence is relatively gentle. This is also the area most favored by alien pirates and Chaos traitors who attack the empire." Plumelia paused and said: "Go through the 'left door' and continue deeper into the vortex, and you will be able to approach a planet called 'Gormek'."

Oguma was stunned for a moment. He was a soldier from the Trodom galaxy on the far eastern frontier. He knew very little about the information about the maelstrom located in the center of the galaxy. Fortunately, Plumelia immediately explained accordingly:

"Gormek is a demonic planet that is completely dominated by the subspace. It is controlled by the traitorous 'Word Bearers' legion that fell into Chaos. It serves as a frontline base and arsenal for launching a black crusade against the Empire."

Plumelia's profound gaze swept across the whirlpool star map full of unknown darkness in front of her, and then she looked back at the endless deep space in front of her: "Give me the order, don't cherish the consumption of psychic dust, and activate the psychic invisibility field for everyone. We prepare to travel to Gormek and raid the Word Bearers."

"Understood." Oguma nodded, turned around and walked back to the cabin.

A moment later, the mighty and huge fleet disappeared into the ever-changing space turbulence of the Maelstrom Starfield. The 6th Expedition Fleet took away a large amount of precious psychic dust from Falla in order to use it when it is really needed, such as now.

Relying on Plumeria's precise subspace navigation, the expedition fleet was able to find its direction in the turbulent Maelstrom Starfield, avoid the small subspace storms that wandered between different galaxies, and pass through the most turbulent space at the fastest speed. A stable path to your goal.

Along the way, they also encountered sporadic pirate ships hiding in hidden asteroid belts, or green-skinned pirates riding meteorites waaagh!!! coming waagh!!!, and even occasionally encountered a ship heading towards the left door. Dark Eldar attack boats in the Star Territory, but in order not to alert the enemy, Oguma never commanded the fleet to attack.

The huge fleet sneaked all the way among the turbulent stars. The astronomical landscape and subspace illusion in front of them were changing rapidly and making people feel lost. However, under the guidance of Plumelia, their direction of progress was always clear.

There is no concept of time in this area where reality and illusion overlap. Maybe seven days or ten years later, the old planet covered with patina finally appeared in the auspicious vision. middle.

"That's Gormek, the Word Bearers' military base." Plumelia whispered to herself: "But no ships were found in the orbit of the planet... No, there are two light cruisers docked in Gormek Low-orbit, and seems? Launching an orbital bombardment of Gormek?”

Is Chaos fighting among ourselves again on a daily basis?

There was little point in conducting battlefield reconnaissance in the maelstrom, a chaotic area with limited vision. After thinking for a moment, Plumelia issued an attack order.

Soon, the expedition fleet that had been prepared for a long time was quickly divided into three. The battleships The Malicious Woman and the Flame of Repentance each led an assault fleet to the front, attacking the demon world Gormek from two directions at the same time. Launch an encirclement siege.

The three heavy artillery giant ships carrying Ridge Peak's bow, Lady Yi Jealousy, Unforgiven Zhen, and Unfinished Business, stayed further away.

The two commandos quickly took up their positions one after another, and following Vice Admiral Oguma's order, three beams of light pierced the illusory curtain.

The tachyon light spears and charged arcs pierced the two light cruisers anchored above Gormek with incomparable accuracy. Before the people on board could react, the two assault fleets that were already in position pounced on them one after another.

Just now, the crew of the cruiser was launching an orbital attack on the demonic world beneath them. As soon as they turned around, they heard the urgent alarm that the hull was seriously damaged. In the blink of an eye, the Valkyrie-class battleship, which was larger and thicker than the Queen of Glory, had already Rushing to the face, boarding torpedoes penetrated the armor one after another and smashed in.

The instantaneous shaped energy arc paralyzed the energy systems of the two light cruisers with surgical precision without damaging the core reactors and causing the ships to be blown up, because they were not performing an annihilation mission this time, but were trying to It is possible to seize many prisoners and torture them for information.

While the heretics on the ship were at a loss before they could react, the heavily armed mortal brigade, led by the Night Rider and the Eldar Banshee squad, launched a gang-hopping attack on them.

It was pitch dark inside the cabin where the energy system was paralyzed. If you paid close attention, you could even hear some weird noises, as well as moans and whispers that sounded like they were coming from the abyss of hell.

Even for the Astartes who have literally experienced hundreds of battles, joining a Chaos warship is an extremely dangerous and desperate move. No one knows that these things have been corrupted by Chaos before actually setting foot on the ancient deck filled with the atmosphere of Chaos. What the hell is hidden in the ancient battleship that has been around for hundreds of thousands of years. For mortal soldiers, it is even more lifeless.

Except now.

Several tall Mechanical Angels walked at the beginning, end and center of the attacking team, their heavy footsteps covering up the sound of the precise mechanical operation inside the armor.

The untouchable man driving the mobile armor brought a very uncomfortable feeling of depression and disgust to his comrades around him, but no one complained. Because every soldier knows in his heart that only by staying with the Night Knights can they be protected from the influence of subspace.

Soon, the first wave of battles broke out between the gang-hopping troops and the crew on the ship... maybe it couldn't be called a battle.

A psychic wizard with extremely fast reaction speed penetrated into the cabin before the gang attack took shape, and killed a large number of prisoners held inside with extremely brutal methods - mostly imperial civilians kidnapped from outside the Maelstrom - Using the skulls of 88 innocent people as sacrifices, he completed the blood ritual of summoning a Khorne demon called the "Blood Crusher".

"Messenger of blood, incarnation of war! I call you here with slaughter and skulls, release the wrath of the blood god, and burn my enemies..." The Chaos Wizard knelt on the ground and recited loudly his words to the Lord of Skulls. praise.

The roar of the giant beast and the murderous howling screams sounded one after another, and the elite bloodletting ghost riding the copper bull rushed out of the blood in high spirits, as if the temperature in the cabin had increased by several degrees. It was very satisfied with the skull sacrifice just now, and it was even more satisfied after seeing the darkness of human soldiers filling the cabin in front of it.

The bronze bull, whose body was like a burning flame, rushed forward impatiently carrying its master. The blood god's warriors did not feel any cowardice because they were outnumbered. They could not wait to harvest more blood and skulls. Dedicated to the Blood God.

But as the distance between the Blood Crush Cavalry charging at full speed and the Night Rider at the head of the attacking force narrowed, a terrifying scene occurred.

The vampire on the back of the copper bull found that his body was getting weaker, and the blazing flames on the copper bull became shaky, like a candle in the wind that might be extinguished at any time, even the resistance to magic and long-range weapons granted by the Blood God , are also disappearing rapidly.

The Bronze Bull was still charging forward without fear. In front of it, the mechanical angel spread its armed wings, and the plasma ocean exploded, drowning everything in sight.

Fired with the Night Rider were a large number of soldiers behind them. Every mortal soldier of the 6th Expeditionary Fleet was equipped with at least 1 plasma pistol, 1 pulse rifle, and 3 melta/nuclear grenades, and was also equipped with A full set of plastic steel power armor.

Although due to objective limitations such as physical strength and cost, the defensive performance of their plastic steel armor mass-produced by fully automated industrial production lines will be far inferior to that of the Space Marines' ceramite power armor, and standard industrial sizes that cannot be customized are not considered What a fit. Even so, their equipment level is better than that of most Imperial Guard soldiers in the human empire.

Such a team, combined with super-heavy armored untouchables that can shield the influence of subspace, is fully qualified to engage in hand-to-hand combat with any extraordinary enemy.

Almost in an instant, the Khorne Blood Crushing Cavalry summoned from 88 skulls, together with the Vampire Ghost and the Bronze Bull, died tragically under the powerful artillery fire of the Nighthawks - not being exiled back to the subspace, but in the true sense. The complete annihilation of the Untouchables is one of the very rare methods that can truly kill the warp demons.

"Messenger...blood god!" The wizard was so shocked that his legs went limp and he collapsed in a pool of blood.

Looking at the invading troops advancing rapidly towards him in the cabin corridor, the wizard subconsciously wanted to use psychic spells to attack, but whether it was psychic flames or vicious curse spells, once the effects of subspace spells approached, The tall mechanical angel disappeared immediately in front of him. This scene completely destroyed his psychological defense.

After arresting the Chaos Sorcerer, the attacking force quickly cleared the few surviving prisoners in the cell and sent them back to the Malicious Woman. Then they began to go deeper and join up with the attacking teams from other directions.

The gang-hopping attack on the two light cruisers ended with amazing efficiency. The 6th Expeditionary Fleet successfully seized control of the enemy ships quickly and efficiently.

But what is hesitant is that no Chaos Astartes suspected of being the Word Bearers were found on these two ships. There were only some insignificant characters such as Chaos believers and mortal slaves.

"We found intact armories on both cruisers, which contain some large weapons that can only be used by the Astartes, as well as damaged parts of power armor."

On the battleship HMS Malice, Oguma, the commander of the offensive operation, reported to Plumeria: "What is certain is that these two ships do belong to the Chaos Astartes warband, but the interstellar people on board are The soldiers disappeared for unknown reasons - not even one person was left behind."

This is not a strange phenomenon that can be explained by "the main force went out to attack a certain target." Even a chaotic warband would usually have technical sergeants, apothecaries and other support units staying on the warships, not to mention the Word Bearers, the original rebel legion, whose manpower was not so tight.

"Macbeth is trying to crack the enemy ship's data center, and Camus has also begun interrogating the prisoners. Maybe they can get some useful information for us."

Plumelia lowered her head and glanced at the old planet covered with patina and thick smoke at her feet, and said: "Before the two of them achieve results, we need to take the initiative - pass my order, and all the warships will immediately attack all the densely built areas on the planet. Launch selective orbital bombardment.”

"After the first round of bombing, a full-scale airborne landing will begin immediately."

Whether the Chaos camp was fighting among themselves or not, it made no difference to her. She had to beat him first.
