Travel to Warhammer 40K with Gray Wind

The anomaly discovered by Mortarion was naturally discovered by Gray Wind after reviewing the battlefield videos. While the reinforcement fleet heading to the Galil Star Group assembled at the starport, Falla received a piece of flesh and blood sent back from the front line of the Oregon Theater. sample.

Gray Wind found Russell with this sample and told him about the changes that occurred underground on the Oregon star.

"After deep scanning with tachyon sensors, the frontline scientific expedition team discovered that the Oregon star itself has been almost completely hollowed out. The undead tombs sleeping inside the planet have also been completely destroyed. The black stone veins have been fragmented, leaving only A large number of tree root-like things made of flesh and blood organisms are entrenched in the interior of the planet and are constantly growing, squirming, and multiplying crazily... crowding the strata and bursting the crust."

Gray Feng placed a sealed container shaped like a glass capsule in front of Russell's desk and whispered: "This is a small inactivated sample that the ground troops retrieved from the 'roots' that spread out of the surface."

Russell reached out to the sealed container, and Gray Wind reminded: "Be careful, it's not dead yet."

"Yeah." Russell nodded, picked up the capsule, and observed a small piece of 'root' sealed inside the capsule through the transparent capsule wall.

It is said to be a tree root, but the composition of this sample does not contain any lignin or cellulose. Its main component is a kind of fresh flesh and blood from an unknown genetic sequence. The rough epidermis has rough texture like tree bark. Despite being professionally inactivated by researchers, this small piece of flesh and blood still maintained strong vitality, and was still crawling along the cyst wall when Russell held it in his hand.

"The flesh-and-blood tree roots on Oregon are still multiplying in a geometric progression. It is initially estimated that in less than a week, all the material on the entire planet will be completely swallowed up by the roots, and it will become a squirming mass. Meat balls.”

Gray Wind added: "In view of the fact that the Undead Tomb of the Oregon Star has been destroyed, the mission of seizing the tomb and closing the subspace rift has in fact failed. Do we want to give up reinforcing the Galil Star Group and evacuate the local troops deployed there? fleet?"

"Stop the loss in time is a wise decision, but a wise decision may not always be correct." Russell played with the sealed capsule in his hand, raised a finger and gently placed it in front of Hui Feng's slightly pursed lips, and said: " The significance of this mass of flesh and blood tree roots is more important than you think, so I want to go to the Galil Star Group myself."

Gray Feng glared at Russell with dissatisfaction: "Stop talking about riddles, what on earth is this thing?"

"It is a relic that may be able to fill the insatiable eternal hunger of the Great Devourer. Its name is - the Root of Infinity."

In the reinforcement fleet heading to the Galil Star Group, Mortarion also obtained a small sample of a strange flesh-and-blood tree root.

Mortarion stood on a mechanical round platform shrouded by a magnetic field. Several intern truth monks wearing white work clothes operated the mechanical arms on the round platform and put on a set of dark green finely crafted power armor for him.

The manufacturing process of this set of power armor is extremely sophisticated, and the joint precision between different parts is so high that it can be measured in atomic units. The armor coated with zero coating not only has excellent defense, but also takes into account lightness and flexibility. It's just that it's not engraved with a large number of badges, marks, and religious runes like the power armor worn by the Astartes. It looks clean and silent.

The difference between the mechanical creations of the Human Empire and the Human Federation is the difference between handicrafts and industrial products.

Mortarion admired this simple and straightforward design style. The original body looked at the zero-element armor installed on his body. There was no sense of sluggishness in the movement of every joint, and every body part was tightly attached. The fit is impeccable.

He couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect the work efficiency of the Truth Religion to be so high. It only took a few days for me to take over the military power of the reinforcement fleet. In such a short period of time, it's a shame that you were able to rush to create this tailor-made set." Fine armor.”

The researcher in white who was operating a robotic arm to install a propulsion module on Mortarion's knee was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "You misunderstood, this armor is not tailor-made for you."

"This is one of our export products to the Human Empire. The Forge World of Underworld No. 8 paid a high price to order this standard power armor called 'The Bane of Heretics' from the Order of Truth to arm their Ogryn armor. force."

"O...Ogryn?" Mortarion was a little confused.

"Well, we made some modifications based on the original design of the 'Bane of Heretics' type power armor based on your body parameters, and then we have the power armor you are wearing now." The researcher in white was adjusting Mo The activity parameters of Talian's knee armor, while saying: "It is technically not difficult to tailor a new set of armor to the original body's figure, but creating such a new set of armor requires opening a new production line, and the cost is prohibitive. If we come down, we won’t be able to catch up with the time.”

Another trainee monk adjusted the power of the thruster on Mortarion's left shoulder, turned around and showed an apologetic smile to the original body: "In emergencies, follow authority. The order's ethos is to seek truth from facts and put efficiency first. I hope you will Being able to adapt as quickly as possible.”

Mortarion opened his mouth, but in the end no words came out.

After a long time, Mortarion then asked: "You just said that the Forge World of Underworld No. 8 ordered this type of mobile armor from you to arm their Ogryn troops?"

"That's right, what's wrong?" the trainee monk asked.

Mortarion shook his head gently. Putting aside his inner prejudice, he could feel the huge increase in this armor's physical ability. But the more this happened, the more doubtful he became:

"Oglin is a deformed human being that mutated after thousands of years of inbreeding in a heavily polluted radiation environment. Due to the mutation, Oglin's IQ is only equivalent to that of an ordinary human child of a few years old, but he has abilities far beyond With the physical strength of ordinary Space Marines, these deformed humans with great strength but little intelligence are ideal soldiers for the Imperial Army."

"But while the imperial army uses Ogryn to destroy the enemy, it is also wary of Ogryn's powerful power. It is difficult to control such a low-intelligence unit once it goes wild, so the logistics department usually only equips Ogryn infantry with the most basic carapace armor. and melee weapons, so that even if a small number of Ogryns accidentally lose control, the damage caused can be controlled. This is the normal use of the Ogryn species by the human empire."

Mortarion said, glancing down at the mechanical arm that assembled the armor on his chest: "The performance of this set of 'Heresy's Bane' type power armor far exceeds any kind of ceramite power armor that I know of. It’s unbelievable… Why did Underworld No. 8 give Ogryn such powerful weapons?”

This is so weird, this is not normal at all.

Even in the naked armor state, Ogryn is a ferocious beast that can fight armor-piercing Space Marines, but the Mechanic-Priests of Hell 8 chose to equip these simple-minded muscle monsters with over-developed limbs with powerful 'Bane of Heretics' models. Power armor.

Why did Huangquan No. 8 pay a high price to the Order of Truth and arm such a group of violent monsters?

"About this..." The trainee monk on the side put down his work and said thoughtfully: "I also heard from my mentor. It is said that the Forging World of Underworld No. 8 was attacked by the Chaos Warmaster Abaddon in the past few years. A massive invasion by the Black Legion."

"Yellow Spring 8 is a well-known and powerful forging world with extraordinary force. The Mechanical Magi believe that they are fully capable of thwarting the invasion of the Chaos Warmaster... But they are wrong. Abaddon's lackey, Asta, the traitor of the Black Legion, The agents released an army of extremely ferocious beasts, tearing apart the mechanized troops of Huang Quan No. 8 with absolute violence.

That kind of beast called 'Azjan Worm' possesses powerful physical power that almost subverts the laws of physics. Underworld No. 8 suffered heavy losses under the impact of the beast army. At least two warrior-level Titans were destroyed by swarms of Azjan Worm. Tear to pieces, the god's machine that the tech-priests were so proud of collapsed. "

"So, in order to fight against the ferocious beast army of the Chaos Warmaster, Huang Quan No. 8 decided to arm a group of more ferocious violent beasts."

As he spoke, the trainee monk proudly puffed up his chest: "My mentor is one of the main designers of the 'Bane of Heretics' type of power armor. The export of this set of armor has brought more than one copy of the Underworld Eight to the Federation." No. treasured STC in the coffin."

Mortarion nodded thoughtfully and murmured: "...Azjan worm?"
