Travel to Warhammer 40K with Gray Wind

Chapter 97 Locusts crossing the border

While the Imperial defenders were struggling to resist the Eldar attacks from the Xihe and Aurora systems, the Supreme Prophet Salazar led the remaining wraithbone fleets through the hazy interstellar dust.

The defense line of the imperial defenders separated the southwestern cantilever of the Lost Dreams constellation and the inner core of the constellation, but as long as they crossed the defense line, the great star field behind them would be open to them to explore.

There were no obstacles along the way. Under the guidance of the prophet, the Wraith Bone Fleet drove unimpeded along the micro-cantilever to the center of the vortex. Since entering the Lost Dream Nebula, their actions have never been so smooth.

"Planet 111, the evolutionary stage of indigenous civilization is the early stage of atomic energy."

"Planet 112, the evolutionary stage of indigenous civilization is the late stage of chemical energy."

"Planet 113, the evolutionary stage of indigenous civilization is the middle stage of atomic energy..."

The investigation results were reported one by one. When the fleet headed to the center of the vortex, it conducted a simple and fast shallow scan of each galaxy it passed, and only roughly observed the development level of civilization in these galaxies - the Eldar in Fodlan's Ark were accustomed to using Energy technology to grade civilizations.

The results of the previous reconnaissance on the outside of the nebula are similar. Generally speaking, the closer the indigenous people are to the center of the vortex, the higher the degree of their civilization evolution.

These investigation results, which coincide with the past prophecies of Prophet Salazar, actually have no practical significance, but they can stabilize people's hearts.

"Planet 114, indigenous people... without indigenous people, this is a dead planet."

Another message reached Salazar and the chiefs of various Eldar clans within the Ark through the psychic network, interrupting their subsequent discussion.

"Death planet, how is it possible?" Salazar first doubted the authenticity of the information reported by the reconnaissance team.

Because in his observations, the planet numbered 114 is connected to tens of millions of threads of destiny, which means that there are at least tens of millions of intelligent creatures on it.

"Report, the reconnaissance results are correct, Planet 114 is a dead planet... No, it's worse than that."

"This planet has no atmosphere at all, and its surface is riddled with holes. There is no trace of life, no organic matter in any form, and no valuable mineral deposits. In short, there is no trace of anything that can be found on Planet 114. Any resource utilized by intelligent life.”

There's an idiom from Holy Terra that's perfect for describing the current state of the planet - the transit of locusts.

"However, there are some man-made mechanical facilities floating in the orbit of Planet 114, which are suspected to be the remains of artificial satellites. This was originally an indigenous planet with a post-atomic civilization evolution stage."

"For some reason, this planet has been over-squeezed to the point where no oil or water can be squeezed out. It's really strange..."

Salazar breathed a sigh of relief. He was glad that his divination was not wrong. There was indeed an indigenous civilization on Planet 114, but this civilization was destroyed due to external forces. Not only was the race exterminated, but the entire planet was completely drained.

At the same time, it is also a little confused, because the explosion traces left on the satellite debris in orbit are still very new, and the planet was destroyed in the past few years.

The destruction of civilization on such a scale will surely stir up turbulent waves in the sea of ​​souls. Salazar believed that it was impossible for him not to detect such a big movement.

Under doubt, the Spirit Bone Fleet continued to investigate the surrounding celestial bodies while going deep into the Dreamless Star Group. Short but terrifying scan reports came up one after another:

"The indigenous civilization of Planet 153 has been destroyed, and the entire planet has been completely drained."

"The indigenous civilization of Planet 154 has been destroyed, and the entire planet has been completely drained... There are many small space bases on the satellites of this planet, and they have taken the first step towards the stars. The degree of evolution of this civilization is, astronautics The eve of the times.”

"Planet 155..."

The reconnaissance results returned by different reconnaissance teams are highly similar in content. It seems that since the fleet's voyage crossed a certain limit, they have never found even a single planet with life. One after another, the depleted planets that have been eaten up and wiped out are constantly flashing on the screen of the Void Dragon, using cold numbers to tell what kind of apocalyptic catastrophe this star field has experienced in the past few years.

Salazar was completely confused. The destruction of life on such a scale should set off a furious wave in the subspace. The thread of fate should never be as calm and gentle as it was observed, but it happened to be like this. Hundreds of them were passing through like locusts. The depleted world is right in front of us, and we can’t help but deceive ourselves and others.

"What's going on here?"

"Why on earth are they still moving forward?"

Outside the Eldar's forward route, in the open area between the two miniature cantilevers, the Gray Gu mothership with its psychic stealth field silently observed the spirit bone fleet passing through hundreds of exhausted worlds, still firm. And move forward cautiously.

Seeing such a large number of depleted worlds and traces of the demise of civilization, anyone can sense that something is wrong with this star field and the dangers lurking within it.

——Since you know there is danger and something fishy, ​​why do you still keep your head down and move forward?

"Because they can't turn back." Russell sat in the core cabin of the gray goo mothership and leaned back slightly, and said casually: "This is a matter of sunk costs. Fordola pins all its hopes on the so-called On the Pure Land, they mobilized all their strength to plan this action, and they paid too much for it...so much so that even looking back would be a blasphemy to those who dedicated their lives to fight for them. Fellow Chance.”

"Then we should not live up to their sacrifices." Gray Wind squinted his eyes and said: "The swarms of Koroniai are being ejected in batches through quantum slingshots, and they can be completed very quickly with the help of the warp engine. The build-up, and the siege of the Eldar fleet—Marshal, when will we attack?”

"Don't worry, my real goal hasn't appeared yet." Russell shook his head: "It's not easy to set up this plan. If I only eat such a fleet of Eldar ships, I will be sorry for the huge amount of energy and resources I have spent over the years. .”

"You have obviously been playing with Koroniai... we did all the work." Gray Wind beeped softly.

"If a marshal has to do things like screwing the quantum slingshot, then I would be a failure as a marshal." Russell half-jokingly resolved Gray Feng's resentment safely.

Gray Wind also felt that he seemed a little strange. In the past, he would not care about such things at all, so he tried to change the topic: "If your target is not this Eldar fleet, then what is it?"

It can't think of any strategic goal that is more important than this Eldar fleet with multiple Leviathan ships.

"Yes, it's the Eldar's Arkworld ship," Russell said with a smile.

"Arkworld...but there is no webway exit in the Lost Dreams Star Cluster, and the Eldar dare not conduct subspace navigation. Even if Fordola's Arkworld ship sets out from the Aurora star field and arrives here at sub-light speed The time required is too long," Gray Wind said.

Russell shook his head: "Who said that the exit of the Webway must be fixed at a certain place?"
