Warhammer 40,000: Mortal Gods

"Sixty percent of Medlengard became a place of death."

"The Nightbringer fragments are very efficient and the progress is extremely fast."

"If nothing unexpected happens, if we wait a little longer, there will be nothing left in Medlengard."

The person in charge dispatched from the Tyrone Sector was on the command deck of the Lightning while listening to the progress report from the celestial engine while informing Chagatai of the latest progress.

At this time, there was not only the original Jaghatai on the command deck, but also his descendants.

Juba Khan and all the company commanders in the battle group stood behind Chagatai, also listening to the latest developments.

"Is it possible for Medlengard to be colonized as a real world in the future?" Chagatai suddenly asked.

"No." The person in charge replied without hesitation, "The place where the Nightbringer fragments have ravaged will completely become a place of death. Unless the human empire is willing to introduce cognitive filter technology and popularize it, otherwise life will be Creatures in this world with an average age of ten years can be said to be extremely resistant.”

"So the Nightbringer Shard destroyed the world, rather than reclaiming it?" Jaghatai said.

The person in charge nodded: "You can understand it that way."

The atmosphere on the entire command deck became extremely solemn.

No one said a word except for the person in charge who reported the progress in real time.

Part of the reason for this is because the Nightbringer fragments are killing people on Medrungard. Even if the Cognitive Filter is enabled, it does not mean that being protected by the Cognitive Filter means that you are 100% immune to the side effects of the Star Gods. .

Another part of the reason is that Jaghatai, the father of the White Scars gene, changed his previous strategy.

"We finally relied on the power of the Star God to achieve a victory." Juba, standing behind Jaghatai, said, "Same as the main fleet and another branch fleet."

"But we avoided leaving hundreds of millions of corpses on Medlengard," Chagatai said.

The company commanders behind him looked at each other and then fell silent.

No one, including Juba, said much about what had become a fact.

They were indeed a little dissatisfied with this matter, but they also considered it for the original body of Chagatai.

If the White Scar Fleet completes its mission in the Golden Crusade without using Star Gods, and advances faster than the main fleet and the Angel Fleet - this has become a fact, then after the war the White Scar Fleet will become the only one that does not use Star Gods. The power of God can also propel the combatants extremely fast.

This is an honor in itself, but honor is not the ultimate goal.

With this honor, Jaghatai could gain the admiration and trust of his other Primarch brothers, and then be able to take on more important tasks in the Imperium.

Leaving aside the fact that Sanguinius has not completely returned to the material world, the other two have returned to their original bodies, Guilliman and Lion. One of them is the regent of the empire and the other is the new warmaster of the empire.

As the primarch who also returned, Jaghatai did not have similar important responsibilities.

In the eyes of Juba and others, the Gene Father also had such considerations. They did not know the real reason why Chagatai had refused to deploy the Star God before.

"We are still the fastest advancing fleet in the expedition." Jaghatai finally turned around to face his heirs, "We already have this honor, and we are also the first branch fleet to destroy a traitor's lair. "

Juba looked at the Primarch with excitement, as the Primarch was affirming the glory of his children.

But Chagatai then changed the topic: "If the deployment of the Star God makes you feel that this glory is not pure, then I can only say that in fact, the glory itself is not pure either."

"The reason why the branch fleet can advance quickly is that the traitor's main force is fighting bloody battles with our main fleet."

"If the iron ring is not on the side of the main fleet, but on Medlengard, the only thing we can do is to wait for the other two fleets to finish their missions and come to help us."

"Our purpose is to work with friendly forces to close the Eye of Terror, nothing else."

After listening to what Chagatai said, the chapter commanders and company commanders could only acknowledge and agree with it.

Juba originally wanted to say that there was a reason why the Chapter would rather leave hundreds of millions of corpses on Medlengard than rely on the power of the Star God, but then he thought about it, and I am afraid that the original body knows this reason better than anyone else. There is no clear meaning anymore.

"In our imagination, we would have encountered the rebel primarch Perturabo." Juba said about other things, "But it seems that he is not on Medlengard."

What Chagatai regretted the most in the entire expedition was the matter of Perturabo.

Perturabo is obviously not on Medlengard, which is completely inconsistent with previous expectations.

As for why Perturabo was absent, Chagatai could not come up with an accurate inference.

Maybe Perturabo ran away, maybe he hated his children and didn't stand up to lead them, maybe he no longer stayed in the Eye of Terror, maybe it was any other reason...

When the Iron Warriors Legion fell apart, Perturabo didn't even stop this from happening. He also felt that it was unrealistic for him to stand up and lead the Iron Warriors at this time.

"Whether he appears or not, we have reached the final point of this expedition." Jaghatai no longer thought about Perturabo. "From now on, the boundaries of our expedition route in the Eye of Terror will be expanded outward. , using black stone structures to essentially occupy the area already under our control."

"There are some demon worlds with minimal threats that we did not attack when we advanced." Juba asked, "I will start organizing attacks on those demon worlds."

"No need, those demon worlds will be destroyed by Star Destroyer weapons after the Eye of Terror materializes." Jaghatai shook his head.

After giving instructions, Jaghatai looked at the Tailon people stationed in the fleet: "Can you ensure the recovery of the Nightbringer fragments? Or you can only release it, and then you have to wait for your Tailon Lord Come and collect it?”

"We have a recycling process, so there is no need to worry about this matter." The person in charge replied, "Since we dare to deploy the Nightbringer fragments, we are sure that it will not escape or be harmed by it in turn."

"Can you tell me something?" Chagatai is also very interested in how to recover the fragments of the Star God.

He originally thought that he could only wait for other star gods or more powerful people to come and recover it.

Chagatai would ask not just to satisfy curiosity, but also for longer-term considerations.

"Using the hypercube maze and other technological artifacts to recycle is a complicated procedure that I can't explain clearly." The person in charge said with a smile, "But fortunately, this complicated procedure is not available for the time being. It needs to be used, because another C'tan will come to recover the Nightbringer faster."
