Travel to Warhammer 40K with Gray Wind

The Eldar believe that the L-Star Gate in the Xihe Galaxy is very important, and in fact it is, but it is not as important as they think. At least, it is not so important that destroying a star gate can paralyze the logistics and troop deployment of the Imperial Army.

Because since Gray Wind deployed the first L-star gate in the Xihe galaxy, the fleet that rushed to the Lost Dreams star cluster also included several mechanical guild forge ships from the forging world Musbell. In other words, the imperial defenders at this time have the power to repair or directly rebuild an L-star gate.

However, building a star gate requires a lot of resources. Due to cost and practical considerations, they did not immediately build a second one.

After seeing the purpose of the attack by the Eldar of Fodlan's Ark, and knowing that even if the Star Gate is accidentally damaged, it can be repaired by the Machinery Society, the Wolf Lord of the Space Wolves, Russell, made a proposal: He thought that the Star Gate should be stationed in Xihe. The Imperial defenders of the system can feign defeat first.

As the lifeline of the defenders, the L-Star Gate has enough temptation to lure the enemy deep. When all the Eldar main attack forces enter the Xihe system, they can close the encirclement and annihilate them in one fell swoop.

The opponent is the agile and elusive Eldar fleet. At this time, encirclement and annihilation is undoubtedly a countermeasure worth trying.

But Alexei rejected the proposal.

She overcame all objections and transferred most of the Imperial garrison deployed throughout the Lost Dreams constellation from their posts, ordering them to immediately assemble to the Xihe system where the Stargate was located to resist the Eldar's main attack.

Alexey showed a tough attitude of "protecting the Stargate at all costs".

This is exactly what the Eldar in Fodlan's Ark believe the Imperial Army should do when protecting their own lifeline.

Many military officers expressed dissatisfaction with this decision, because such a hasty gathering of forces will inevitably disrupt the existing tactical deployment, and the defenses of other star systems outside the Xihe will also become weak.

Moreover, the Eldar's military front is already close at hand. Instead of hastily mobilizing the armies scattered in the Lost Dream Nebula at this time, it is actually better to ask for help from Nirvana directly through the L-Star Gate, which would be more convenient.

There were many legitimate reasons for officers to refuse deployment, but the authority of the Emperor's Prophetess was absolute.

The Space Marines, led by Captain Clementine of the Iron Haunter Chapter, led the fleet stationed in the Xihe system and launched the first wave of confrontation with the main attack force of the Eldar. At the same time, the fleets stationed in other galaxies also set off under the strong orders of the prophetess to return to the star gate.

Countless combat ships activated the Geller force field at the same time, their roaring engines tore apart the curtain of reality, and they began to make relatively safe short-distance subspace jumps.

While the returning fleet hurriedly jumped into the subspace, the Fodlan Eldar fleet's frontal attack on Xihe began.

One after another, large spiritual bone battleships with slender bodies and graceful curves, dragging wide fan-shaped structures similar to fish fins on their tails, emerged from the nebula, like a group of flexible fish swimming in the nebula.

The reason why Eldar warships have such seemingly meaningless fin-like structures is said to be because the subspace in the early years was relatively calm and not so rough. The Eldar can use the fins on their ships to ride the energy flow of the Warp freely across the Sea of ​​Souls without expending additional energy.

Relatively speaking, the behavior of humans driving a subspace engine to forcibly tear apart reality and crash the cathedral into the sea of ​​souls is really vulgar and barbaric.

However, the Eldar now no longer dare to sail through subspace, and these beautiful spiritual bone fins on the battleship have become decorations.

The Eldar fleet that invaded the Xihe system was led by a Leviathan-class dreadnought battleship, as well as several Shadowgun cruisers and Rift destroyers. More of them are small frigates and guided missile destroyers.

At the same time that this group of graceful wraithbone battleship formations, like a school of fish, appeared within range, the Imperial Army activated all the weapons in their hands to fight back.

The war begins.

Although the Eldar have a small number and the fleet is not large, their individual soldier quality and ship performance are much higher than those of the Imperial defenders. In addition, interstellar dust interferes with aerospace and detectors, making the Eldar's actions More and more elusive.

At the beginning of the battle, the elusive high-speed maneuvers and wandering strikes of the Wraithbone Battleship caused the Imperial defenders to suffer the first wave of heavy losses.

Continuous artillery fire burned the dust scattered among the galaxies. The Mandeville Point of the Xihe Galaxy was torn open in the subspace. The first support fleet that successfully returned to defense has arrived and quickly joined the seemingly superior battle. To me, it seems like the disadvantage lies in my Stargate offensive and defensive battle.

Ship guns grind meat, board ships and jump into gangs. Today's galaxy is also being devastated by war, just like usual.

But in the battlefield, there was a small boat that had no intention of participating in the battle.

It moved straight through the front line of the battle with flexible movement, hurriedly passed over the multiple automatic weapon platforms established by the empire in the Xihe system, and went straight to the command ship parked at the location of the L-Star Gate.

A tall woman wearing a full set of power armor jumped off the scarred small ship. The scarlet sword in her hand was still dripping with blood, and the jagged blade was stained with some unknown traces. There were blood vessels and nerve knots torn out by some creature, and there were also many scratches on the armor.

"I request to see the prophet." Former Inquisitor Bernadita said to the Iron Wraith warrior standing in front of him: "I have important information to report!"

"If the information you mentioned is really so urgent and important, why didn't you use the communication array provided by the Order of Truth to report it directly to the headquarters?" the other party asked.

This Iron Wanderer warrior himself was born in the noble family of Niful. He knew very well that no matter how corrupt and incompetent the noble men in the command headquarters were, when the war was coming, they could still distinguish the real priorities.

Bernadita held the blood-drinking demon sword in her hand tightly and tried to explain: "On my way back, a small group of Eldar warriors launched a gang attack on my ship, and the communication array on the ship was damaged during the battle. , so I can only report the news in person."

This is too far-fetched...

Iron Wanderer shook his head. Putting aside the authenticity of the damage to the communication array, if a small ship like this was successfully attacked by a small group of Eldar warriors, it would be hard for him to imagine how Bernatita could survive. .

"I killed them all. I hope to gain your trust." Bernadita said sincerely:

"The situation is really urgent. We have been deceived! The Eldar's attack on Xihe is just a cover. Their real main force has broken through the blockade in the 'Lustig' star system, and they are trying to go to the depths of the Lost Dreams star cluster. !”

The Astartes warrior in front of Bernadita turned his head and looked at the battleship Fire of Penitence, which was fighting against the Eldar dreadnought in the distance.

Amid the sky full of artillery fire, the wild wolves led by Wolf Lord Russell had jumped onto the deck of the dreadnought ship using boarding torpedoes, and were engaged in a bloody fight with the Eldar warriors under the cover of heavy firepower from the rest of the Steel Wraith squad.

The Iron Wanderer warrior who stayed behind at the command center slowly turned his head back and looked at Bernadita silently without saying a word.

He didn't say anything, yet he seemed to have said everything.

——The battle taking place in the Xihe Galaxy is so fierce. Is it possible to say that this is not the main direction of attack of the Eldar?
