Warhammer: In the Name of Nirvana

"You're confused, aren't you?"

"Of course you're confused."

"When things have developed to this point, most people can't figure out the truth. After all, there are too many constraints in reality: whether it is the limitation of vision, the fragmentation of important information, or even what happened in Sabi The procrastinating and extremely boring see-saws on Star 4 are all blurring our thoughts, distracting our energy, and making us irritable and restless."

"Now, let's make this a little simpler."

"Before you accept some necessary small steps, as a reward for fighting bravely as friendly forces, you can of course know: what happened before this, and what will happen after this."

"Actually, if you lay it out, what happened in the Sabis Galaxy is very simple."

"A bait, a show of weakness, a trap."

"It's that simple."

"You will even find that you have known all the clues, details, and necessary steps very early on, but in the endless procrastination and fighting of reality, they have been forgotten, because they see It seems so small, so inconsequential."

"And now, let's talk about it one by one."

The relic battleship [Tear of Reason] passed through countless malfunctioning void war engines. It was like a dancing steel swan, flying gracefully in the dead storm.

This strange warship does not belong to any classification of the Human Empire's navy. Even the most experienced captains and admirals cannot recognize such a ship that completely violates the purpose of the Human Empire's shipbuilding.

But this does not prevent it from being powerful and deadly. Maybe its name will never appear in those poems that record great achievements, and maybe its figure will never appear in those archived and sealed documents, but this cannot erase it. Power and edge on the battlefield: Just like its owner, the First Legion, it is only born for the cruelest victory and the most complete destruction.

This steel behemoth almost recklessly crossed through Ran Dan's battleship group, swaggering past in front of Ran Dan's creations that were more than ten kilometers long. This extreme provocation attracted the craziest counterattack: almost every passing moment Within seconds, thousands of warships were aiming their guns at the arrogant challenger, firing countless flames and shells, as well as countless electromagnetic rays and energy beams mixed in, like a rainstorm. Like pouring into a pond, the energy shield of the [Tears of Reason] is creating completely uncountable ripples every moment.

But until the battleships of the Dark Angels swaggered through the defensive lines of Ran Dan battleships one after another, but until the most powerful Ran Dan battleships kept smoking even if they hit the gun barrels, the thin layer of the [Tear of Reason] The thin void shield was still intact. In full view of hundreds of thousands of Randan soldiers, it protected more than 500 Dark Angels in the cabin and crashed directly into the still-out-of-function Battle Moon.

"Do you still remember who discovered the anomalies and treasures of the Sabis Galaxy?"

"Yes, a mechanical bishop from the world created by Shana and his servants discovered the Mandeville Point in the Sabis galaxy, which was huge enough to pass Randan's battle moon. After he returned to Shana, But he died in battle very quickly. His colleagues spent a lot of time fighting for his inheritance, and it took a long time for the empire to know that such treasures were buried in the Sabis galaxy..."

"This is what you know."

"But in fact... this is a lie, a false curtain created by us to cover up the truth."

"[The Lion] has actually known all this for a long time. He has known it since the moment Shana's mechanical bishop returned to the forging world, but that stupid mechanical octopus refused to hand over more information. This is also It’s not too surprising, after all, Shana has just surrendered to the empire, and there are a bunch of rebels everywhere.”

"Since he is unwilling to devote his loyalty, we can only let the loyalty go to him."

"After he died in the battle, as expected, his Mechanicus colleagues began to eagerly compete for his inheritance and documents, and this big move also attracted Ran Dan's spies buried in Shana's forge world."

"As for the so-called inheritance fight, this is indeed the ugly gesture of the Mechanicus. We just used the cover of this farce to make the spies controlled by Ran Dan's aliens believe the information we sent."

"Through the spies' vows and other small means, we successfully let the Randan alien know that there is a Mandeville point in the Sabis galaxy that can pass through the battle moon, and there is an ancient star that leads directly to Shana. The door, and in Ran Dan’s view, we don’t know all this, at least during the months when the Mechanicum was fighting for the inheritance, we [didn’t know].”

"So, of course, there will be a few maverick and daring guys among Ran Dan's alien commanders, eager to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and make a big deal. Since it is such a big gamble, they will bring The capital will naturally not be less."

"So you see, real hunters never worry about whether their prey will appear, even if they are really hiding. Using bait and deception to make them appear is the most basic basic skill of a hunter."

[Prepare for impact. 】

A stern voice sounded in the ears of every crew member.

The huge figure of Ran Dan's battle moon finally appeared in front of their eyes. It was a genuine metal planet, about two times larger than Luna (the moon). Like other Ran Dan battleships, There are giant spikes and flails that are clearly visible even in the void, like a cage in the void.

This blasphemous weapon that is incomparable to any void engine is hidden within a layer-by-layer defensive fire network composed of giant star forts and automatic fire turrets, not to mention that it itself has enough power to rival an expedition fleet. Anti-aircraft firepower, there are hundreds of Ran Dan [Overlords] stationed there, tens of thousands of Ran Dan warriors and millions of flesh and blood monsters.

But none of this can stop the progress of their mission, or in other words, no one in the galaxy can stop the Dark Angels.

More than five hundred veterans of the First Legion who came all the way from Terra stayed quietly at their positions. Most of them were holding swords or firearms, breastplates and shoulder pads that did not exist in the imperial army. There are so many honorary badges and coats of arms on it that it is almost impossible to place them. Most of the helmets are placed aside. The solemn faces are neither sad nor happy or even touched at all. Only the dripping sweat is the only moving object.

Some looked straight ahead, some closed their eyes, and some just wiped their swords over and over again until every detail could be reflected.

And in this dark solemnity, the few touches of silver belonging to the Second Legion seemed a bit dazzling.

Their performance is also different.

As an ancient warrior and a Terran, Chiron's performance was no different from that of ordinary Dark Angels, while Salieri and Ajax were obviously a little more panicked. Their eyes were flowing in the hands of each Dark Angel, but I found that I couldn't identify the weapons even though I was searching my guts.

Hector's performance was even better. He seemed to be chewing something. His eyes kept scanning the silver figure in the distance, and his throat kept rolling. It was obviously not a normal swallowing action.

At the end of Hecht's field of vision, Morgan watched the battle moon getting closer and closer, doing the same action as Hecht: swallowing.

Whenever she looked at the dead planet, at the millions of living souls that were alive and safe and could eat as much as they wanted; at the huge one that could escape the sight of the Dark Angel, The hall where you can eat at will; and hidden in the deepest part, the seriously injured, dying but extremely sweet final treasure.

She had to swallow to contain the constant flow of saliva in her mouth.

Um.

Greedy.

"Then, [Lion's] layout begins."

"During the few Terran standard months when Ran Dan thought we had accomplished nothing, the First Legion began to make arrangements on Sabis 4. We successfully found the device that opened the star gate. At the same time, as a warning to Ran Dan As a precaution for [Warmaster], we set up some temporary underground fortresses on Sabis 4 to store trump cards against those Randan [Warmaster]."

"That psychic nuclear bomb is one of them. Compared with other preparations, its power is actually not too strong."

"As for you, the [alpha], and even those from the Second Legion, you are actually a corresponding means. You were brought to this galaxy by us as a bottle opener to activate these trump cards, but for reference After the actual situation, we chose that [alpha].”

"While these preparations were going on, everything was going on normally. We deployed a pure cannon fodder regiment to station here. Even the logistics department responsible for allocating supplies thought this was an ordinary incident. dispatch."

"Everything is to target the spies who are hidden within the empire after being controlled by Ran Dan's mind. Everything is to get Ran Dan's fleet into this trap."

"The price we paid for this is greater than you can imagine."

"Do you remember Azir? Oh, you must have forgotten about him."

"Azir, and others, their death is so ordinary among the ignorant. For example, in the mouth of that little kid Zahariel, they died in an encounter. If I If I remember correctly, that kid and his Caliban Company are now being dumped on Sabis IV to clear the battlefield."

"The real burden still lies with the Terran people, doesn't it?"

"Having said that, whether it was Azir or everyone who died in the encounter with this Randan fleet, they actually did it on purpose. Even the 244th cruise fleet that lost contact, their actual command They are also our people.”

"Their deaths were short-lived, broken, but priceless. When the Randan people thought that they had devoured all the witnesses without bloodshed, in fact, the first moment Azir and the others discovered these aliens, they died within seconds. Stop sending back intelligence and observations.”

"When their blood spilled across the galaxy, their blood dripped on the map, making Ran Dan's trajectory nowhere to hide, allowing us to confirm that this was a huge prey worthy of continued investment and waiting, allowing us to accurately Controlling the number of personnel can not only delay Ran Dan's first wave of offensive, but also prevent them from becoming suspicious."

"This is sacrifice."

"Remember, you little brat, every sacrifice is not meaningless. The sacrifice itself is the greatest meaning."

"And they don't know all this."

"They thought we were unprepared, that we were weak, that we were already new medals in their blasphemous conquests."

"They know nothing."

"And in this ignorance and arrogance, they walked straight into the [Lion's] trap."

——————

"Everyone, I regret to inform you that due to the dense firepower of the big guy in front of us, any landing operation using airdrop pods, jump gang torpedoes and storm birds is the purest act of seeking death."

"So we're going to run right into it."

"I repeat, the [Tear of Reason] is about to make a hard landing, please be prepared for impact, as well as millions of alien bastards!"

"I know you want to kill them, everyone, because I want to do it too, but please remember our first priority and don't forget it, otherwise the [Lion] will be angry. That's comparable to a planet. Aliens are much scarier.”

There was a deep laughter in the cabin.

"Okay, let's stop talking. Now you still have time to say goodbye to the fighting brothers beside you. When those bastards rush up after a while, you know that all organizations and queues will become history."

"Now, prepare for impact!"

The voice suddenly became deeper.

"Be prepared to die."

——————

"When Ran Dan's fleet enters this galaxy, the final hunt has already begun."

"But before that, as you can see, we also spent a day on Sabis IV. This is to allow those alien fleets to completely flood into the central area of ​​this galaxy, especially the battle moon. Although it is extremely powerful, its only drawback is its slow speed.”

"And when we delayed it for enough time, which is at this moment, as you can see, we used one of the Legion's secrets to temporarily close the Mandeville Point, making the Sabis System a trap without loopholes. "

"Next?"

"Of course I'm waiting for the real killer move."

"You don't think that we can annihilate such a huge force just by relying on us, do you?"

"As for what the killing move is..."

"You should still remember, or perhaps you have forgotten, that at this moment, on the front line of Shana, the war between the empire and Ran Dan is entering a period of stagnation, and reinforcements from various legions are also arriving one after another, which means that we Enough troops can be mobilized.”

"Based on this, do you still remember the plans of these Ran Dan fleets?"

"They plan to pass through the Mandeville Point here and the star gate, jump directly to the vicinity of Shana, and surprise our main force."

"Then here's the problem."

"Since they can jump to Shana through this star gate, can't the main force of our army stationed in Shana jump here through this star gate?"

"After all, we are the hunters."

light.

When the [Tears of Reason] launched its final charge towards Ran Dan's battle moon, light burst out from a corner of the Sabis galaxy.

Morgan could feel something. She felt that something was awakened on Sabis IV. It was an ancient slumber that was interrupted.

A sharp edge slowly drew out from the desert of Sabis 4, and cut into the skin of the void. In the blink of an eye, amber light flooded out from it, and what appeared with it was a suit ready to go. Swarms of human empire battleships.

The most dazzling and greatest among them is a terrifying almost pure black battleship, a ruthless god of death in the void, a metal beast ready to roar in all directions at any time.

It was a Queen of Glory.

That was the flagship of the First Legion.

It was one of the empire's greatest and proudest powers.

It was the ship of Leon Jonson, the Primarch of the Dark Angels.

It's coming.

[Lion], here we come.

emmm, it’s been confirmed. I’ll publish it around February 1st, so I’ve been working hard to save the manuscript in the past two days.

This chapter is a general overview of the Sabis Galaxy. I have more or less mentioned all the details and premises in the previous chapters. You can go back and take a closer look. There may be surprises~

But then again, originally this chapter was probably going to be published in about 50 photos, and I did delay too much time on the various supporting character perspectives, emmm

Improve, improve!
