Travel to Warhammer 40K with Gray Wind

Chapter 300: Going up to Luo with the knife in hand

The waiting time is always long, but devout faith can dilute all loneliness.

What really bothers Bishop Senedal is that since the Lord of Mankind spoke the word 'wait' through the mouth of a mummy, He has never said a word again. As time goes by, this bishop My mood began to become more and more anxious.

He didn't know what he had done wrong to make His Majesty the God-Emperor ignore him, and he was even more afraid that he had done something wrong unintentionally to make him lose the attention of the Lord of Humanity.

Driven by strong uneasiness, Bishop Senedal spent almost all his time every day except for normal eating and bathing in praying to the Emperor. He had to pray devoutly in front of the mummy holding the Ebony Claw every day. He recited the "Emperor's Dictionary" for several hours to express his piety and loyalty to the Lord of Mankind. He also never interrupted the cleaning and maintenance of the holy relics that carried the grace of the God Emperor. The bishop was careful three times a day. He wiped every speck of dust that fell on the mummy's body.

But for some reason, the Lord of Mankind never said another word to him, and the Emperor became more and more silent.

In the speculation and torture of the God-Emperor's thoughts, the waiting time became longer and longer, until one day, a large-scale space-time disturbance appeared within the monitoring range of the sensor, breaking the tranquility of this nameless galaxy.

Senedal himself also sailed through the Maelstrom with the 6th Expeditionary Fleet. He was very familiar with this kind of space disturbance - it was the trace of the warp engine.

The small ship that had been hidden on the back of the asteroid quietly floated up, and a mighty and huge fleet appeared in front of Bishop Senedal.

In Year 024 of the 40th Millennium, the 1st Expeditionary Fleet arrived in the Gothic Sector.

"Wait a minute, the size and number of ships of the 1st Expeditionary Fleet... seems to be much larger than when it set off?" Bishop Senedal was a little confused. He recognized that the flagship of this fleet was the Valkyrie-class battleship named 'Soul of Burning Steel', which was the flagship of the 1st Expeditionary Fleet. He himself was also present at the ceremony to pray for the blood sacrifice of the machine soul.

But why did other fleets suffer heavy losses during the expedition, and the 9th Expeditionary Fleet heading to Baal was even wiped out. Now that the Terra expedition is in its 24th year, why are there more and more ships in the 1st Expeditionary Fleet? Even nearly twice as much as when we set out?

"Go, go and deliver the Ebony Claw into the hands of the Promised One."

The illusory voice floated faintly, and Bishop Senedal burst into tears: "My almighty Lord, I finally heard your voice again..."

"..." The emperor was silent.

"Your Majesty, I, I will go to fulfill your request, I will go..." Senedal did not dare to neglect, and quickly drove the boat to meet the huge 1st Expeditionary Fleet heading here.

At the same time, on the Valkyrie-class battleship 'Soul of Burning Steel', many naval admirals and internal affairs officials looked at the man in the center who was wearing a white robe and whose eyes were covered by a strip of cloth written with holy words. The beautiful woman cast a look of awe.

"Sure enough, just as the prophet predicted, not long after we arrived in the Gothic sector, the emperor's messenger came looking for us."

"Lord Alexei is worthy of being the living saint chosen by the Emperor. You are indeed the spokesperson of the will of the Lord of Mankind."

"I was horrified when I heard the plan mentioned by the prophet and Lord Bramimund before, but if that is the emperor's will..."

An admiral with a star on his shoulders mused: "If it is true as you said, the emperor's messenger brought the key that can activate the Blackstone Fortress, then, in the name of the Lord of Mankind, the Gothic Fleet will attack Terra fire."

Alexei nodded slightly: "That would be great."

The admiral who spoke was none other than Scott Ariel, the commander-in-chief of the ‘Gothic Fleet’ who was responsible for protecting the security of the Gothic Sector.

As a well-known general in the Obscure Star Realm, Scott is a seasoned veteran naval officer who is known for his prudent approach, even when Alexei and Bramimund display the miracles of the Emperor in front of him. His identity as a member of the Imperial Guard did not immediately convince him to join the 1st Expeditionary Fleet. It only made him give up his plan to open fire on the rude 1st Expeditionary Fleet.

"To gain the trust of General Scott, we still need to activate the Blackstone Fortress." Bramimond, who was guarding the prophetess Alexei, thought in his heart. Now he has once again donned the golden armor of the Custodes to protect the Emperor's saints.

Outside the porthole, the small boat carrying the Emperor's messenger was getting closer and closer.

That was a few years ago... When the 1st Expedition Fleet arrived at the boundary of the Extreme Star Territory and was about to enter the Sun Star Territory, the prophetess suddenly received the oracle from the Lord of Humanity. She ordered the fleet to turn around immediately, turn back halfway, and go Gothic sector.

The emperor's envoy is waiting there, and from the envoy's hands, they will get a treasure called the 'Ebony Claw'.

That is the key to activating the Blackstone Fortress. They will use the Blackstone Fortress to suppress the fortress guarding Terra: the Phalanx.

Seeing the prophesied boat docked on the side of the Valkyrie, the Soul of Burning Steel, Admiral Scott Ariel narrowed his eyes slightly and looked solemn. Others may not know much about what Blackstone Fortress is, but as the commander-in-chief of the Gothic Fleet, he knows.

Blackstone Fortress is a collection of six ancient fortresses scattered throughout the Gothic Sector.

There are different opinions about its origin. Some scholars of the Mechanicus Adeptus Mechanicus believe that it is an ancient war weapon left by the Necron. Some scholars claim that the original name of the Blackstone Fortress should be 'Vaal's Talisman' based on the ancient Eldar books. These massive starships were built to defend against the return of the C'tan.

The specific origins of Blackstone Fortress are no longer known, and the current human empire has no way of deciphering the complex structures and complex principles within these ancient creations, let alone trying to manipulate them.

After years of research and experiments, the Adeptus Mechanicus finally cracked a small part of the energy circuits of the Blackstone Fortress, connected them with a large number of automatic artillery and torpedo arrays, and transformed them into six immovable naval bases.

Even humans have only been able to borrow a little bit of the energy from the Blackstone Fortress to a minimum, but with the strength of the Blackstone Fortress itself, these six fortresses have become one of the most important stone-holding forces in protecting the local security of the Gothic Sector. .

According to the prophecy of the prophetess Alexei, the treasure they are about to obtain called the 'Ebony Claw' is the key to activating the Blackstone Fortress. As long as they obtain it, they can truly and fully control these six ancient machines. Giant war weapon.

"If anyone can really achieve this level... it is only our emperor."

Looking at the crowd who came to welcome Bishop Senedal aboard the ship, Admiral Scott closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "But even if that is the emperor's will, how can I do it in the face of such a request? Don’t you feel hesitant?”

He still shuddered when he thought of the request made by the prophetess.

Alexei asked him to lead the Gothic fleet and the 1st Expeditionary Fleet into the Sun Star Territory, sail the battleships over the Royal Palace of Terra to suppress the situation, and use the fully activated Blackstone Fortress to lock the Imperial Fist's fortress monastery: 'Mountain Formation number'.

This group of daring people intends to launch a military coup to overthrow the Terran Council... and seize power.
