Travel to Warhammer 40K with Gray Wind

With the help of the Plague Crucible, Brother Di finally took down the Void Dragon, which was dizzy from the smoke.

But looking at the devastated red ground below, which was covered with yellow and green scars, Brother Di couldn't help but laugh. Standing on the Emperor's Dream, he turned back and cast his gaze in the direction of Terra, with that look of disgust. As if to say:

Brother, why are you pouring shit on Mars?

"Um, well, ah..." Russell was at a loss for words. After all, it's better to be dirty than destroyed. If Brother Di and the Void Dragon continue to fight, there won't be many legacies from the wreckage of Mars that can be fully recovered.

Fortunately, Brother Di didn't care too much about this with him, because by this time, Guilliman had already rushed back to the solar system.

But what is surprising is that Guilliman did not bring troops to support Emperor Brother in defeating the Void Dragon, and he did not come to hold accountable the strange phenomena that occurred on the Golden Throne. Instead, he brought a story to the solar system that had just recovered from the chaos. More breaking news.

——He came to ask for help.

"Ultramar is in danger!" Guilliman solemnly declared: "We must dispatch as many troops as possible as soon as possible to defend the Great Ultramar Space Domain, otherwise one of the most important later supply bases of the Indomitus Crusade will be destroyed. once."

"What the hell?" Russell was surprised.

But as Guilliman showed a map of the subspace sea conditions drawn by the Navigator in front of the senior officials, Russell understood the reason for what he said.

In the center of the picture, a land of bright stars and gems is the beautiful and rich Ultramar. And above Ultramar, a dark shadow covers the entire upper part of the picture, like a black curtain covering the sky. Blocking the undulating currents of the Sea of ​​Souls.

This shadow that blocks the sky is all too familiar to the Ultramarines veterans who fought in the Battle of Macragge.

That is the shadow of the Great Devourer.

The perspective of the picture switches from the navigator's spiritual vision to the real universe. It is a video recorded by the scout team from the edge of the Milky Way astrolabe. In the picture, shadows as huge as planets are wandering in the abyss outside the Milky Way without any starlight. Among them, the dense dragon scales are soaked in the sticky darkness.

They were swarms of 'ether giant worms'. Countless starry sky beasts gathered together. Even if the detector's field of view was exhausted, there was no end in sight. The only ether giant worms that appeared in the picture were, There are more than 100,000 heads.

In the beginning, it was just an aether giant worm that led to the fall of Macragge.

"And the ether giant insect swarm that appears on the periphery of the Milky Way star disk now, even according to the most conservative scale estimate, exceeds 1 million." Guilliman looked solemn and announced to the high lords:

"The number of this batch of giant etheric worms is really like carps crossing the river, countless and endlessly visible. Such a giant starry sky beast crosses the extragalactic abyss on the periphery of the Milky Way star disk, heading straight for Ultramar. "

If not dealt with immediately, Ultramar will be destroyed.

After explaining the critical situation in Ultramar, Guilliman turned his expectant eyes to Russell and Gray Wind: "I know that snooping on allies' information is easily resented, but I learned from some channels that the Human Federation has now developed A weapon of mass destruction that can easily annihilate all enemies within the star system.”

"So I have no choice but to shamelessly ask your Excellency, can you use that weapon to provide support for Ultramar?" Guilliman's eyes were bright: "As the Regent of the Human Empire, I swear that I will definitely grant such a great favor. repay."

"Well..." Russell looked embarrassed: "The weapons of mass destruction you mentioned do exist, and I don't mind using them to annihilate the ether giant insect clusters, but to be honest, I don't really recommend that you use them in Austria. Telama uses that thing.”

Throwing stones is basically the same as dying together. When the insect swarm is dead, the hometown will be gone too.

In order to prevent Guilliman from misunderstanding that he was unwilling to help Ultramar overcome the difficulties, Gray Wind showed the two indelible black straight lines on the Extreme Star Field to everyone at the meeting:

"If you can accept that the stars of Ultramar are wiped out by black holes like these dark regions, we wouldn't mind using a gravitational slingshot to help you."

Guilliman was silent.

He has long known that the Human Federation's war philosophy is very extreme, so he is mentally prepared for the weapons of mass destruction that the Human Federation calls "weapons of mass destruction." He has even made analogies to some of the destructive weapons of the Golden Age.

But it turns out that the level of madness among the scientists of the People's Federation still far exceeds the limit of the original body's imagination.

The war philosophy of these lunatics is to annihilate their descendants.

"It seems that there is no hope of using weapons of mass destruction to annihilate the ether giant swarm at once..." Guilliman closed his eyes. He was mentally prepared for this outcome: "Then we should be more prepared for war."

"Pass my order and all the Indomitus Expedition fleets will return immediately to aid Ultramar and attack the Tyranid swarm."

"Ultramar's position is too important. Once the Great Ultramar space is captured by the swarm, the empire, which has already lost a large area of ​​territory, will face the dilemma of being cut off from its logistics. We must defend Ultramar at all costs. …”

Guilliman was speaking impassionedly, but suddenly, Gray Wind couldn't help but raise his white and tender hands: "Well, I know Ultramar is very important to you, but I want to ask here In a word...is it more important than Terra?"

Guilliman paused and said, "Your Excellency, Secretary-General, what do you mean by this?"

"Because..." Gray Wind said, projecting the latest real-time star map of the Milky Way rendered by the Sentinel Array in the center of the meeting: "It is not only Ultramar that will be attacked by the ether giant swarm, but also Terra. ”

On the star map, the bright Milky Way star disk has been surrounded by the shadow of the Great Devourer, with three coordinates bearing the brunt:

ultramar, solar system, espernes

"These are the three main attack directions of the Great Devourer." Gray Wind concluded: "As for the size of the troops gathered by the insect swarm... I cannot estimate it."

The vast, thick and harmonious shadow is like a black coffin, enveloping the entire Milky Way galaxy without revealing a trace of light.

At this moment, Guilliman finally realized how short-sighted his previous estimate of the number of etheric giant worms was.

Because the size of the Tyranid swarm's fleet has far exceeded the total mass of all matter in this galaxy, the number of ether giant worms is fucking more than the dust scattered in the starry sky.

"That's not right." Gray Wind shook his head and denied: "To be precise, this is just the first wave of advance troops of the Tyranid swarm, an insignificant terminal tentacle of the Great Devourer."

The mass of this insect swarm tentacle is more than 20,000 times the total mass of the Milky Way.
