Warhammer III

Uruk, bridge command room.

"The request for help from the Forge World Ruin Star has now disappeared, and the astropaths above cannot be contacted."

Astropath Su Jingrong stopped the psychic search, stood up from the psychic enhancement device, and reported the latest information to everyone.

"We are now located in the east of the Hylaki Sector in the Pacific Star Territory. The Hylaki Sector is on the edge of the Milky Way. Not only are there a sparse number of stars in the sector, but there are no administrative units of sub-sectors. Instead, there is a system called Hyla The subspace rift in the Base Canyon spans half of the galaxy and greatly interferes with subspace navigation. "

Navigator Yin Lisabai compared each planet in the star area and continued:

"There are only more than a dozen imperial worlds recorded here, mainly mining worlds. The ruins galaxy is in the north of the star sector and needs to pass through the Hylaki Canyon."

After Tai Yue thought for a moment, he issued the order:

"Send a wide-area star field message, publicize that we are an Inquisition ship coming to support, see if we can contact the imperial troops in this star area, and at the same time head to the ruined star at full speed!"

After receiving the order, the astropaths and navigators immediately began to execute it, and the Uruk continued to move towards the ruined star.

The Hylaki Canyon formed by the intersection of subspace and the real universe is like a nebula full of strange colors. The scope of this subspace rift is only the size of two or three galaxies. Not only is it much smaller than the well-known subspace rifts in the galaxy such as the Great Whirlpool, but there are no The overflowing surging subspace energy did not form a subspace storm.

"There may be the core world of the Necron Dynasty around the Hiraki Canyon, and the tomb world suppresses the energy pouring out of the subspace rift."

Phoenix warned that this subspace rift was not caused by the power of the Chaos Evil God. It did not have the corrupting characteristics of Chaos. It might have been left behind by the battle in heaven between the Ancient Saints and the Necron.

Taiyue immediately put the Uruk on alert in response to possible enemy ship attacks. Soon after, the Uruk sailed out of the Haylaki Canyon and arrived at the outskirts of the ruins system.

Uruk's detection array began to scan the entire galaxy environment. The projection showed that in addition to the Forge World relic star, the entire galaxy also had a strip surrounding the star. Both of them had a high reflectivity for the star's light.

"Is that the asteroid belt?"

Brother Jerome asked, looking at the projection.

"That ring is formed by the wreckage of the alien spacecraft. It is not an asteroid belt, and the relic star was not that big at first. Instead, the gravity of the planet itself attracted the surrounding debris. The Mechanicus has also been capturing the wreckage of the spacecraft all year round. The accumulation formed the current appearance of the planet, which is also the origin of the name of the relic star.”

Taiyue learned about this forging world in advance through the Temple of Omniscientity. Its purpose of existence is to recycle spacecraft fragments in the galaxy. On the one hand, it can be used as industrial raw materials to be transported to other worlds. On the other hand, it is a base for the Mechanicum to study ancient alien technology.

"There is no reply of astrological signal in the entire star area!"

Astropath Su Jingrong reported to Taiyue again. She frowned and did not contact any other imperial troops this time.

"Keep the communication silent now, let's go to the ruined star first."

Uruk continued to move forward, and finally prepared to enter the synchronous orbit of the relic star when it reached perihelion.

Suddenly the communication lights on the bridge began to flash, and the navigator Yin Lisabai hurriedly turned around and said:

"Regular communication has been sent from the ruined planet!"

Taiyue and Sisela looked at each other, and they immediately realized that this was a trap, and the other party might spread the corrupt code through communication.

"Sage Della, please bring the corrupted code filter capture device to the bridge!"

Taiyue asked Della to take out the psychic equipment he developed. The entire equipment was 1 meter high and divided into an input end, a corrupted code monitoring system, a corrupted code capture system and an output end.

This set of equipment is a prototype developed by Taiyue with the support of Sisela. It can discover and filter out corrupted codes through the input and output serial communication system, and capture and store the corrupted codes into a logical structure composed of subspace crystals. .

The servo arm on the Thai-Vietnamese power armor began to work and quickly connected the corrupted code filter capture device to the bridge's communication system. He then signaled Yin Lisabai to connect the communication from the ruined star.

A loud noise rang out and lasted for more than a minute, but the indicator light of the corrupted code monitoring system did not light up. The other party was very patient and did not release the corrupted code immediately for fear of triggering the battleship's psychic monitoring system.

"This is the trial court. Please answer when you receive it!"

After Yin Lisabai took the initiative to contact the other party, the mold lake projection of a Mechanicus sage appeared in front of her.

"Glorious Om Messiah, our Chaos Station Gang Abria's Claws are attacking, requesting support!"

The communication was intermittent, and the sage of the Mechanicus seemed to be like a rusty iron sheet, repeating these words for help stupidly.

The Chaos Station Gang mentioned by the Abiel's Claw Empire has been recorded as one of the warbands from the traitorous Legion Iron Warriors.

The indicator light of the corrupted code monitoring system now glowed faintly red, and the enemy began to attack.

"Your Majesty the God Emperor, our battleship has been invaded and is out of control!"

Tai yelled and cut off the communication. Everyone on the bridge was startled by his performance and looked at him in surprise.

"Ahem, Sage Della, recharge all weapons, turn off the void shield and plasma engine after ten minutes, and let the spacecraft pretend to be affected by inertia and will deviate from the orbit of the ruined star."

Tai Yue felt a little embarrassed, but still gave the order decisively.

"Will the enemy believe it?"

Sisela was a little worried at the moment. After the void shield was closed, the Uruk would be in danger.

"No enemy battleships were found. They may be hiding in the space station of the ruined star. Judging from the size, if the opponent has battleships, they are only small battleships. Our strike cruiser enemies are reluctant to destroy them, and if they don't act quickly, This battleship is about to pass them by."

Tai Yue gave his own inference that unless the enemy was determined to attack the Uruk from the beginning, if they started to hesitate, their plan would succeed.

Ten minutes later, Della shut down the void shield and plasma engine as planned. Everyone in the battleship held their breath, and the Uruk began to fly away from the orbit of the ruined star.

Soon after, the first-bow frigate left the space station of the ruined star and accelerated towards the Uruk. The icon on the frigate was a steel helmet revealing the eight-pointed star of chaos, which was the symbol of the Iron Warriors of the traitorous legion.

The frigate suddenly slowed down when it was about to enter the Uruk's warning range and launched two Hellclaw fighter jets.

Produced by the Corruption Factory in the Eye of Terror, the Hellclaw fighter is a commonly used aerial combat vehicle for the Chaos warband. It can be used in the atmosphere and space. Its smooth appearance and sharp blade-like fuselage on both sides are unique.

"The enemy is very cautious!"

Tai Yue frowned and continued to pay attention to the actions of the enemy ships.
