Travel to Warhammer 40K with Gray Wind

By the time a hastily assembled fleet of Ultramarines, led by the Macragge's Glory, arrived on Parmenio, the shadow of the Warp that lingered around the system had long since dissipated.

At the same time, the second advance team of the Human Federation's insect-killing fleet has just sent about 30% of its military strength out of the Macragge Star Gate. Several Titans are busy dragging back the completely dead ether giant Behemoth. Falla.

The old leader of the Ultramarines was very sensitive to human relations. After recognizing the current situation, he immediately ordered the release of more than a dozen people who came to Ultramar with the 13th Expedition Fleet and were imprisoned by him for protection. The Brotherhood of Truth, including Biomaster Joshua, the man who had poisoned the Machine Soul with Devouring Toxin and angered the Clay Artist, was also brought to Parmenio by the Flair of Macragge.

But this kind intention only received a sigh from Gray Feng: "Ah, Joshua, you came at the right time. Koroniai now needs people who understand biology to help with the project."

"Well, please wait a moment..." Looking at the silver-haired girl who decisively turned around to leave, Harding quickly tried to persuade her to stay.

"Is there anything else?" Gray Feng blinked.

Harting breathed a sigh of relief and pointed to the neat fleet formation parked in the distance above Parmenio's orbit: "...won't they leave with you?"

Gray Wind nodded: "You said those ships can't leave for the time being. The Pest Control Fleet jumped here directly from Macragge. The jump engine requires about 200 standard Terra days after a jump. Cooling time, it can be used again only after cooling is completed.”

Harding had a strange expression on his face and glanced at the Titan ships in the distance that were dragging giant insect corpses and slowly passing in front of Macragge's Glory: "...Then how are these ships going to use the Aether?" The corpse of the giant insect is transported back to Falla?"

"Leap." Gray Wind said.

"..."

Harding felt slighted.

Gray Feng looked at Harding's gloomy face and smiled with joy.

"Why is the lady laughing?" asked Harding.

"Actually, even if the cooldown time of the jump engine is up, I will not let the exterminator fleet leave Ultramar." Gray Wind said with a smile.

Harding opened his mouth to speak, but suddenly, he realized something. He thought of a very terrifying possibility, if that was the reason why Gray Wind kept the exterminator fleet here...

"It seems that you have already thought of it. You are indeed a genetic descendant of Robert Guilliman. You are indeed smart." Gray Wind smiled and gave Hatin a 'like! ' gesture, and then said: "It is still too early to withdraw the fleet, you have to know...

——The death of the ether giant worm is not the end, not even the beginning of the end, it is just the end of the beginning. "

Gray Wind left these words and took the released Joshua away from Macragge's Glory. The three Titans took the carbonized and disintegrated corpse of the ether giant and launched a jump, disappearing without a trace, leaving only Macragge behind. The Rage's Glory hovered quietly over the riddled Parmenio, silent for a long time.

"Is this just... the end of the beginning?" Hardin Hermes stood on the bridge of the Macragge's Glory, with the scarlet cyclone still surging under Parmenio's feet.

Those are insect spores that permeate the atmosphere and have not yet been cleared away.

"Okay! This super cool line is finally used!"

Gray Feng was very happy.

When Russell told her the story of the Tyrannic War before, he had used this sentence to summarize the Great Devourer's invasion. At that time, she felt that the Marshal's calm expression of saying this line was particularly handsome.

"I wonder if the old captain thought I was handsome too?" Gray Feng thought again.

"...Well, Your Excellency Gray Wind, what do you mean by what you just said to Captain Harding?" Joshua brought her back from her self-excitement with one sentence.

"That's right." Gray Wind thought for a while and said, "It's okay to tell you... That's what the Marshal told me before, about the 'Tyrani' invasion..."

In the 745th year of the 41st millennium, the Hive Fleet-Behemoth invaded Macragge, and the Ultramarines paid a huge price to disperse it with difficulty.

In Year 990 of the 41st Millennium, the Hive Fleet Kraken invaded the Icha system. The Eldar craft world of Iyanden was almost wiped out. Both the Tau Empire and the Human Empire suffered heavy losses.

These two Hive Fleet invasions were known as the First Tyranid War and the Second Tyranid War respectively. The two Hive Fleets arrived approximately 200 years apart from each other.

"The original historical process should be like this, but because the Great Devourer accidentally obtained the genes of the Ether Dragon, the Behemoth Hive Fleet, which mimicked the 'Ether Giant Worm', relied on a brand-new biological jump engine to arrive 1,700 years ahead of schedule. In the Ultramar star field, the primary invasion location has also changed from Macragge to Parmenio."

Gray Wind clapped his fingers and said: "The Hive Fleet-Kraken was originally going to arrive about 200 years after Behemoth invaded the galaxy. However, due to the special nature of the Hive Mind, Kraken may have been transformed into an ether giant worm. With the jump engine... The Hive Mind will no longer give humans 200 years of leisurely breathing time. The ether giant Kraken may arrive at any time. Total war is already close at hand."

Although the human empire has been fighting all-out war for these ten thousand years.

Joshua nodded slightly, thoughtfully.

In fact, there is one thing that Gray Wind has not said yet - the Hive Mind is very smart and has strong learning and growth capabilities. After learning the lesson from the annihilation of Behemoth, the subsequent Hive Fleets such as Kraken and Leviathan will definitely become more complete and more difficult to deal with, making it difficult to kill them with unexpected concentrated fire sniper attacks.

As the marshal said, this is just the end of the beginning.

To Gray Wind, the imminent full-scale invasion was just another stirring in the chaos of the galaxy. But for the Ultramarines, this is tantamount to shocking news.

Because the first stop for the Zerg invasion is Ultramar.

On Parmenio, which was ravaged by the Zerg, the leader Hatin held an emergency secret meeting. The conference has only one theme:

"Should we trust the Star Bomber?"

With a loud voice, Harding said to the Ultramarines Captain and a few Macragge military leaders who participated in the meeting: "According to the Star Bomber, the Behemoth attack on Parmenio It’s just a prelude to a full-scale invasion by the Zerg. More giant ether bugs are about to arrive, and the situation is very serious..."

"That's not necessarily true? My respected leader."

Before Harding finished speaking, an arrogant voice with a unique aristocratic accent interrupted him.

The old captain's face darkened, but he did not yell harshly, because the person who interrupted him was no one else, but a marshal of the Imperial Navy carrying a gold emblem on his shoulder, the absolute most powerful figure in the Ultramar Navy, Wagner Ebolon Si Vitas.

This man was born in the Sivitas family, a noble family in Macragge. He had been operating in the Imperial Navy for many years and was very influential. He also had a close relationship with the Adeptus Mechanicus. There are also many Astartes from the Civitas family in the Ultramarines Chapter, and even the leader Hatin is quite close to the Civitas family in terms of family blood.

This is the norm throughout the Ultramar star field. The great nobles who control the planet regard it as a great honor for their children to become ultramarines.

Wagner Civitas showed an apologetic smile to Harding and said: "Although it is a bit rude, what I want to say is that the true face of the star bomber may not be like the image he shows to you and me. Easy to get along with."
