Warhammer 40,000: Mortal Gods

…

With the surviving Chaos fleets hiding within the Warp, Cadia's system was completely safe.

The Tyrone naval fleet began to perform defensive missions, activated the dimensional engine and jumped to the galaxies surrounding Cadia.

The celestial engine rotates slowly around the star, obscuring half of the sky of the fortress world.

Countless laser rifles and power armor produced in the industrial world of the Tyrone Sector broke away from the planetary structure and were sent to Cadia via teleportation or torpedoes. Due to the sudden attack by the Chaos Fleet, the Cadia Assault Force was unable to prepare in time. Supplies were obtained to cope with the coming war.

Every regiment commander and praetorian guard of Tyrone's army also went to Miraak Bastion.

Creed, the current Lord of the High Fortress, is still in Miraak Bastion. While dealing with various recent affairs on the planet, he uses broadcasting equipment to address all the Cadian people.

"The people of Cadia."

Ever since Creed became Lord of the High Castle, he has started every speech with this classic.

"Less than an hour has passed since our allies' planet appeared in the galaxy. The enemy left countless battleship wreckage in the void and fled in panic. Our crisis is temporarily lifted. Temporarily."

"The enemy is unlikely to stop here, and we will face more tests in the future."

"For the throne, for...for the Cadian Gate."

Creed paused when he said the last sentence, because he saw the space in his office suddenly twist and turn, and then a five-meter-tall metal giant appeared in front of him.

Creed remembered that he had seen this face in the communication with Lord Tyrone just now, so he did not call the guards and was not too surprised.

"When I saw you on the communication screen, I thought you were just wearing a mask..." Creed put down the speaker and looked at Qin Mo's living metal body, "What happened to you to change into a body like this?"

"This is just my body. Nothing has happened to me. If you can go to the Tyrone Galaxy, you can still see my physical body." Qin Mo said, floating to the office window and looking up at the sky.

Outside the window of the office is the training ground. Eight thousand people from the 8th Regiment of the Cadia Assault Army are stationed on the training ground. There are many people there, but they can't see Qin Mo standing in front of the window.

Qin Mo stared at the brilliance of the Eye of Fear for several minutes.

Anyone in the fortress world who stares at the sky will feel uncomfortable and may even experience blood oozing from their eyes and nostrils.

Qin Mo didn't bleed, but felt very uncomfortable.

"I felt like I was taking a bath in a sea of ​​excrement," he said.

After saying this, Qin Mo felt inappropriate and explained to Creed: "I'm not saying that Cardia is a sea of ​​dung, I mean here..."

"I understand." Creed nodded calmly, reached to his waist with his right hand, took out a cigar and held it in his mouth.

Qin Mo glanced at the cigar and lit it with a cluster of flames.

The strange flame without any temperature inspired the aroma of the cigar. Creed took a sip, then raised his eyebrows and nodded repeatedly, feeling pretty good: "Thank you."

Creed took another puff on his cigar and suddenly asked: "Do you think the enemy will retreat or continue to fight?"

"You just said in your speech that you didn't think the enemy would stop, why are you asking me now?" Qin Mo asked.

"I can't tell, I just have a feeling." Creed shook his head.

"I feel like they won't stop." Qin Mo thought the same. He floated to the desk and raised his hand towards the desk.

The desktop immediately turned into a star map, showing the situation around Cadia.

Cadia is located in the Cadian Gate defense zone, closest to the Eye of Terror, which is why Cadia will be Abaddon's first target when he launches his expedition.

And Abaddon's ultimate goal is not just to destroy Cadia, he has a big plan.

"If the enemy wants to continue fighting, they will definitely not come to Cadia." Qin Mo stared at the star map. He knew that the Celestial Engine once protected the Forge World.

As long as a celestial engine exists in a galaxy, it cannot be captured, but this may not be the case in other galaxies.

"Small-scale wars are still continuing to break out throughout the Misty Star Territory. The enemy's fleet has only been repulsed, but landing battles can still be carried out."

"The Imperial Navy previously conveyed that they could not find the enemy ships, that is, before the enemy fleet launched an attack through the rift... But we do not have a rift to use, and it will take some time for the navy to rush to the Cadian Gate."

"This is the first time in my life that I have seen a war on a star field scale. It's really a headache."

Creed looked at the star map helplessly.

"There is no need for the Imperial Navy to defend the surrounding area of ​​Cadia." Qin Mo pointed at the light spots that were constantly beating on the star map. "Each light spot is a battleship of the Tyron Navy."

"One? Are your battleships so powerful that you only need one to resist the enemy's attack?" Creed was confused.

Qin Mo then explained the defensive tactics of Tai Lung Navy to Creed.

A battleship formation can defend all galaxies within the jump distance of the dimension engine. The galaxy where the main force of the battleship formation stays is called a strategic point.

Only one warship will be sent to other star systems around the strategic point. This warship does not need to be responsible for fighting. It only needs to run away and report the situation when the enemy ship appears. Then the main force will jump to the star system where the enemy ship appears. Fight, finish the battle and then jump back to the strategic point.

This set of defensive tactics brings the characteristics of the dimension engine to the extreme. The Navy used this tactic when the plague appeared in the Tyrone sector, and the effect was amazing.

Creed felt relieved after hearing this defensive tactic, and then asked another question: "Is your cargo ship also equipped with a dimension engine?"

Qin Mo nodded, not knowing why Creed asked.

"Our naval strength is sufficient to cope with the current situation, but our army strength is still inferior." Creed said, taking out a pile of documents from the drawer.

Qin Mo glanced at it, and all the information on the document entered his brain.

These documents are full of news about reinforcements sent by the Imperial Military Department.

The Space Wolves Chapter, the Battle Sisters, and even the Inquisition...these reinforcements are on their way.

Qin Mo immediately understood that Creed wanted to ask him to send a cargo ship to pick up these reinforcements, but he did not think it was necessary: ​​"The main battlefield is no longer on the ground. Whether it is the ships of the Tyrone Navy or the Imperial Navy, all it takes is a light A spear can destroy a Titan, and the Tyron Navy can easily control the planet's orbit. Our existing army forces are completely sufficient."

"There are always all kinds of surprises in war," Creed said.

"Okay, after all, you have more experience in ground combat than me." Qin Mo agreed, but he could not guarantee that the reinforcements would be willing to take the Tailong cargo ship.

The Space Wolves Chapter's Space Marines are a bunch of old fogies, and the Sisters of Battle may have been influenced by all the negative news about the Tyrone sector and refused to board freighters.

Creed also knew about this problem, and he immediately began to write a guarantee letter to guarantee the Tyrone cargo ship as the Lord of the High Castle.

Qin Mo didn't know what the next war would be like, and he didn't agree with Creed's idea that reinforcements were needed, but there was one thing he was sure of.

That is, if Abaddon wants to continue fighting, he will definitely suffer from the defensive tactics of the Tyron Navy.
