Travel to Warhammer 40K with Gray Wind

Gormek was formerly a planet factory belonging to the Human Empire. It has been floating outside the light of the Star Torch for a long time. Under the influence of subspace, Gormek has now become a demonic planet completely dominated by the Word Bearers. .

The Word Bearers used Gormek as a munitions factory and forward base for their Black Crusade against the Empire in the Maelstrom Segmentum, and the entire planet was shrouded in the evil sorcery of the Legion's sorcerers.

In this exceptional area where the real universe and subspace overlap, the effects of witchcraft are amplified by the Chaos Evil God, and its defensive performance is greatly enhanced. Orbital strikes from space battleships will be distorted and weakened by the power of subspace to a large extent. , unable to cause effective damage to important military equipment such as the Demonic Forge on the surface.

But again, in the face of absolute firepower, all the bells and whistles are in vain... If it doesn't work, it must be that the firepower is not strong enough.

Although there is some suspicion of slaying a dragon but killing a chicken, under the constant bombardment of the tachyon light spear, the ancient orbital defense system of Gormek was quickly and miraculously destroyed, and the 6th Expedition Fleet was able to directly attack the planet's surface. Launch an orbital strike.

Weapons of mass destruction such as anti-matter bombs and storm torpedoes are constantly being thrown into the atmosphere, destroying heavy industrial facilities on the surface and demon furnaces buried deep underground with surgical precision; the hot plasma ignites the industrial dust deposited on the surface of the planet. And the clouds that constantly showed various strange illusions turned the surface of Gormyk into a sea of ​​fire.

Looking at this flaming planet burning in the starry sky, it feels like looking at a miniature star.

The difficult attack on the heavy artillery giant ship has achieved gratifying results, but it also raised some questions:

"Withstanding the heavy firepower of an entire expedition fleet for so long, ordinary planets should have been completely destroyed by the plate collapse caused by the destruction of the geological structure and a series of chain disasters... But Gormek But only a layer of skin was burned off. Not even a layer of skin was completely burned." Oguma stared at the burning Gormek in front of him, frowning.

Should it be said that it is worthy of being a demon planet? Sure enough, you can't use common sense to figure it out.

Plumelia noticed his worries and decided to give him something more: "More than that, remember when we first came to Gormek? - The two Chaos Light Cruisers were conducting orbital bombardments on the planet. .”

Even with the terrifying firepower of the 6th Expeditionary Fleet, the damage caused to this demon world is extremely limited. What can the pitiful artillery of the two light cruisers do?

Everything was so strange, so strange that if someone set this trap, Plumelia would definitely doubt the IQ of the person who set the trap.

At this time, the door to the main control room of the Vicious Woman opened automatically, and Inquisitor Camus walked in from the door. His dark personal armor was stained with mottled blood and bits of solidified fat, and the strong smell of blood followed him. They broke into the main control room with their footsteps, causing the vicious woman to frown.

"We have made progress in the torture of the cultists. Although more than 4,900 of the approximately 5,000 captives were tortured to death, we still managed to pry out the required information."

Camus said, pointing with his left hand to the live model of the planet in the center of the main control room: "The reason why they were able to use two light cruisers to carry out an effective orbital attack on the Demon Planet is because of a man named 'Cole Phalon' The powerful Word Bearers led a raid on the important Gormek city 'Heart of Mek'."

"The Word Bearers kidnapped dozens of devout Ecclesiastical priests and nuns from outside the Maelstrom. They tainted the Chaos spell with the blood of the Emperor's fanatic followers, and tore a chasm from the Chaos protection that enveloped the entire Gormek planet. This small opening allows warships in orbit to bombard the Heart of Mek through this opening."

...However, Gormek is a planet controlled by the Word Bearers. Why did the Word Bearers launch orbital bombing on their own planet, bombing the most important industrial center: the 'Heart of Mek'?

"Have you ever asked why 'Kor Phaeron' raided the Heart of Mek?" Plumelia asked.

Camus shook his head: "For some reason there are only some cultists and low-level mortal slaves on the ship. They have no way of knowing more information about the Word Bearers."

"Then kill all the remaining prisoners and save space for wasting space. The evil-mouthed woman doesn't like having dirty cultists in her hull." Plumelia said:

"According to the current progress, Gormek's atmosphere will burn out in about 72 hours. I will order the fleet to launch more atmosphere-burning torpedoes to speed up the process. Be prepared, we are about to attack the central city 'Heart of Mek' Go airborne.”

"We need to capture the Word Bearers leader named Kor Phaeron alive and understand what is going on here."

"Understood." Oguma and Camu agreed in unison.

Under the Valkyrie, the fire that enveloped the entire planet was still burning. Most of the ships of the 6th Expedition Fleet had completed their bombing missions and fell silent to alert the surroundings. Only less than 100 ships were still shuttled back and forth in the low orbit of the planet. , constantly dropping more compressed promethium to make the already scarce atmosphere burn even more fiercely.

When the fire that flooded the world finally gradually extinguished, a number of battleships headed by the Malicious Woman were already in position above the planet.

The hatch opened, and tens of thousands of Flying Fish transport planes loaded with mortal soldiers flew out of the hangar one after another, like a black cloud pressing over the city, covering the sky over the central city of Mek's Heart.

A sudden rain suddenly fell in this dark cloud. Countless airborne pods were ejected from the lower belly of the Vicious Woman, carrying fully armed and super-heavy untouchables-the Night Knight, the shooter. toward the ground.

Due to the physical limitations of the inaccessible people and the weight of the aircraft, the airborne pods need to be equipped with complete shock-absorbing devices. There is only one knight in every raindrop. This results in the absolute number of airborne pods being so large. An unprecedented downpour fell on this completely burned world.

Pieces of hard raindrops smashed into the demon towers, the mechanical angels spread their armed wings in the ruins, and the Night Knight walked out of the drop pod with a platinum giant sword. This was the 6th Expedition Fleet's response to the Word Bearers. The first hello spoken.

If Kor Phaeron looked up at the sky and saw this rain of steel at this time, he would probably also be able to hear the friendly greetings from the Cult of Truth to him:

- We know you're here, we're coming.

"They know I'm here, they're coming!"

Underground in the central city of Mek's Heart, a tall Astartes with a withered face was filled with anger and said in a low voice to the guards around him: "The empire's troops should not come to Gormyk at this time, whether it is Badab The Claws of the Starry Sky, or other Watch Chapters, even if they are all united together, it is impossible for them to have enough power to penetrate into the Maelstrom and launch an expedition of the current scale."

He wears a set of customized Terminator armor called "Consolaris". This ancient armor is not only equipped with huge lightning claws and flamethrowers, but also has a full set of life support facilities and complete Medical system to keep the wearer's aging and shriveled body going.

Because the person in the Consolaris Terminator Armor is too old. He was already the first company commander of the Word Bearers Legion during the Great Crusade ten thousand years ago. This veteran who has been fighting for ten or even nine thousand years, among others Named "Kor Phaeron".

He is the adoptive father of Lorgar, the Primarch of the 17th Legion, and one of the first Astartes to fall into Chaos. Today, Kor Phaeron is a loyal supporter of Chaos known as the "Dark Bishop" .

It is precisely because he regards the Chaos God as the omnipotent true god that Kor Phaeron is so angry now. He cannot understand where such a terrifying Imperial fleet came from, and why he chose to pick one. Attack the Word Bearers at Gormek's weakest moment.

The most important thing is, with such a disaster approaching, why can't I get any enlightenment from the God of Chaos?

"They came anyway."

Next to Cole Phaeron, a giant-like Word Bearer warrior wearing a gorgeous beast helmet with long horns who was taller than other Terminator guards said in a deep voice: "No matter what, we must Fight."

Cole Phalen was silent for a moment and turned around silently: "You are right, Badar, we must fight, the only way to fight."

Behind him is a demonic furnace flowing with brass and fire, buried deep beneath the heart of the central city of Mek. The blood-filled mouth of the Devil's Forge, filled with liquid brass, remained wide open. On a huge fang that looked like a doorpost, a strange creature was restrained by circles of blood-stained chains.

It is an enchanted chain engraved with countless Chaos incantations. Even the most powerful Space Marine Terminator veteran and the most fearless Dreadnought can't break free.

However, such chains were wound around and around, but they could only barely restrain the strange creature under the mouth of the demon furnace, and the enchanted chains kept making overwhelming creaking sounds.

Cole Phaeron walked with heavy steps past the torn armored corpses, approaching the huge mollusk that looked like a giant slug.

The armor on these corpses all bore the logos of the Chaos Octagram and the Word Bearers. It was obvious that they were all brutally dismembered by the other party while working together to imprison this giant "slug".

"The power of this monster is almost so powerful that it distorts the laws of physics." Cole Fallon murmured: "Without the blessing of any subspace power, just pure physical power, it can be so powerful..."

The lightning claw on his left hand crackled, and Cole Phaeron made up his mind: "We must hold on until the large army returns, no matter what the cost. Whether Erebus catches that guy or not, the secret of the 'Encyclopedia' None of it must be leaked.”

In particular, it cannot be leaked to the Human Empire.
