Travel to Warhammer 40K with Gray Wind

In fact, it is not difficult for the human empire to destroy stars. They have many ways to achieve similar effects, and they don't even need to use artifacts left over from the dark technological age.

As an Alpha-level psyker, Alexey, the prophetess herself was confident that she could go through lengthy incantations and complex rituals, and with the assistance of multiple disciples after a long period of preparation, launch a weapon capable of distorting stellar-level celestial bodies. Powerful warp spell.

But that was too slow and too easy to be interrupted... What the Star Bomber did was not just to explode stars. He was more like showing off, using the destruction of stars and the demise of the insect swarms to show the empire his power. Wisdom and power.

The intention is to force them to make concessions.

After leaving the Governor's Palace in Falla, Alexei returned to the Flame of Penance with weak legs.

In the conference room where the senior leaders of the expeditionary force gathered, the incomplete video recovered by the reconnaissance team at the risk of their lives not long ago was being played. It was captured by the monitor unmanned reconnaissance aircraft they launched. The binary star system. The situation before being detonated.

This short video has been watched dozens of times by senior executives, and it was played again when Alexey returned.

The quality of the video is not clear, because the energy anomaly of the binary star system in this star system had actually appeared long before the insect swarm arrived, but it had just remained hidden.

The reconnaissance team calculated based on the general direction of the Hive Fleet's biological mothership, and then predicted the target star system that the bug swarm would arrive at, and was able to launch a monitor-type wandering reconnaissance aircraft to the star system in advance to take pictures.

In the picture, two blazing stars, one large and one small, are rotating extremely fast. The chaotic spectrum shows that their fusion or aging rate is forcibly accelerated by external forces, pulling the two stars away from their original orbits and crashing into each other.

The picture kept deflecting, and finally, the drone's perspective locked on an inconspicuous target submerged in the spectrum.

Compared with stellar-level objects, this target is too small. Even the most advanced monitor unmanned reconnaissance aircraft has passed it several times, and it was finally noticed because of its own movement.

After zooming in, I was finally able to see clearly - it was a slender silver-gray battleship. Because there was no available reference object, the size could not be measured for the time being. In the blurry picture, I could only barely see the beautiful shuttle shape of the battleship as a whole. Its surface is covered with a complex armor structure that resembles reptile scales, as well as a shield system with extremely high energy density.

The technical sage who had just returned from "exchanges" with the local Mechanicus in Falla stretched out a curved mechanical arm from under his red robe and uploaded another video to the display instrument in the center of the conference room.

This is a working video. The background is Falla before the war. The first moon and the second moon running in the inner and outer orbits are clearly visible. Technical priests and technicians operate various construction machinery and use modular ships to move around. A large space station called the Seeker is being assembled in orbit.

As can be seen in the video, a beautiful silver-gray battleship is parked on the back side of the first moon. It is almost identical to the gray battleship that appeared in the video sent back by the reconnaissance team.

——It’s just that the battleship in the work video doesn’t have that strange scale-like structure.

The blurry video soon came to an end. As the insect swarm that covered the sky broke into the scene, the two stars finally merged into one, changed rapidly, and turned into a dazzling spot that burned the entire galaxy.

The surveillance of the monitor ended here, and the data chip storing the video was also submerged in the light spot, and was eventually recovered by the reconnaissance team that rushed to the scene at the risk of death.

As for the mysterious fusiform silver battleship, it was also submerged in the explosion of stars.

"Judging from the navigation trajectory of the insect hive biological mothership, the target that attracted Tyranids to leave Falla was the mysterious silver battleship."

The technical sage suppressed the tremor in his voice and said in a voice mixed with electronic noise: "It's a coincidence, isn't it? This battleship that detonated the star to annihilate the entire hive fleet, and the 'Golden Age' in the hands of Governor Falla The relic battleships are so similar that except for the outer armor structure, the two battleships are almost identical."

Even, they are different forms of the same ship.

Although the technical sage's voice was calm on the surface, there was suppressed anger inside that almost ignited the display screen in front of him. He couldn't believe that the unknown rat named Russell was so bold, so presumptuous, so... extravagant.

Use a precious ship from the dark technological age to detonate the star system and perish together with the Hive Fleet... Every time he thinks of this tragic and devastating fact, his mechanical heart can't stop dripping blood... dripping engine oil.

In this regard, the Sector Archbishop of Esbanese had a different view.

He insisted that Governor Russell's move was a manifestation of his incomparable loyalty to the empire. Holding such a huge relic ship in his hands could have brought him endless glory and wealth, but the governor abandoned it without hesitation. , avoiding the crisis of destruction for the Falla galaxy and the expedition fleet, which was severely weakened after the battle with the orcs.

The state church produced countless evidences about Governor Falla's personal character and repeatedly boasted about Russell's personal achievements in order to strengthen his status as a saint.

The Adeptus Mechanicus constantly emphasizes the immeasurable value of the heritage of the Dark Age of Technology, sternly denounces Russell's horrific crime of destroying relics, and demands that it must protect all remaining ancient technologies on Falla, lest they be destroyed by some unreasonable man. Destroyed by madmen.

The two factions were fighting for their own interests and had a heated argument in the conference room, but no one was willing to devote their energy to focusing on one of the most critical issues:

How did that gray battleship lure the Hive Fleet away from the Falla system?

Milak, who knew the inside story, kept silent about this. It was impossible for him to tell the fact that "the last Bao" had actually been taken away by the star bomber.

Alexei took a deep breath and interrupted the fight between the Ecclesiarchy and the Mechanicus: "Everyone, can you stop this useless fight for now? We have more important things to discuss now."

The prestige of the prophetess finally made the already somewhat superior state priests and technical priests stop fighting. The technical sages and the sector archbishops all focused on her, along with the inquisitors, naval admirals, and interstellar who had been sitting back and watching the fight. The warrior chapter masters also became serious.

The Emperor's prophetess easily stayed out of the factional wrangling in the expeditionary fleet, but when she spoke, it meant that things were serious.

This is indeed the case.

Alexey first signaled to the servitor on the side to remove the repeatedly played video, and then took out the metal tetrahedron he got from Russell from his arms.

The prophet has a major event to announce...Mirak consciously kicked out some low-level personnel, leaving only:

Several Space Marine Chapter Masters, Admirals, Techmagos, Inquisitors, Sector Archbishops, and the Grand Astropath.

Alexey was silent for a moment, and politely invited the Navy Commander, the Great Astropath, and most of the Space Marine Chapter Leaders out of the conference room.

She judged that what followed was not appropriate for them to know.
