M42K.0001 Solar System-Northern Starfield-Near the Mandeville Point "Hyrule" Star Gate

The gray-black power armor stood in front of the holographic display. The scarlet beating screen illuminated his body with blood-like red light. The symbol with the steel skull flashed with blood on the chest of the gray armor. His iron-colored eyes stared at the holographic chart in front of him, moving with each symbol.

Countless low chants echoed in his ears, bursts of whispers from crazy servitors, and the laughter of those astropaths with ferocious smiles echoed throughout the bridge, those terrifying ghostly laughter Mixed with the cold mechanical keyboard tapping, it turned into a creepy war prelude.

"Lord Otik, Fleet 76 has been transmitted from the star gate and is waiting for your order." Another space warrior came from the holographic console, a space warrior from the Rebel Legion Iron Warriors. Coming from the console on one side, there were several hoses inserted into the almost completely mechanized body.

War blacksmith Otik slowly turned his head. There were countless pipes inserted into the back of his head wearing Terminator heavy power armor. Those dense pipes were inserted from his cerebral cortex, molding the head with steel. He became inhuman, like his Primarch.

Otik looked at the Iron Warriors beside him, and then looked out the window of the bridge. The war blacksmith strode to the captain's armrest and looked out the window at the huge fleet.

Red, gray, green, iron blue, and black warships sailed forward in the starry sky. Fleets from various renegade Space Marine legions, mortal rebels, and Chaos marauding warbands gathered here. They will all belong to Under Dantic, the great warsmith.

Because he was personally given an important mission by Warmaster Abaddon of Destruction himself, to go to Mars and completely destroy the home planet of the Adeptus Mechanicus, erasing the empire's most powerful industrial production base from the galaxy.

To this end, Abaddon handed over a huge war fleet to Otyk. The Warmaster's wish was also a curse, because if you failed, Abaddon would punish you mercilessly.

But Otyk the Warsmith never fails, and he will bring the joy of victory back to Abaddon. He will chop off one of the heads of the Imperial double-headed eagle, the symbol of the Mechanicus.

"Have all the fleets been assembled?" Otik asked coldly, his voice as tough as steel itself, and Balaguer behind him responded to his leader with the same steel voice.

"All fleets have been assembled. Fleet 76 has brought the army of the Dark Mechanicus, War Blacksmith, we are ready." Balaguer took a few steps forward and clenched his fists. Otik looked at the window. Looking at the starry sky, looking at the red planet lined up in the same direction as Terra in the distant night sky, it grasped the huge trap.

"Then let's set off and bring the storm of war to the throne." Otik said loudly and gave orders to the crew below. He slammed his fist on the handrail in front of him, and the steel surface quickly The trap dented under the blow, and a heavy roar echoed throughout the bridge.

"Set a course and head to Mars." Otik looked at the Birdmaster on the lower left and ordered. The Birdmaster's entire face had been peeled off, and there was a terrifying tear on his skinless, exposed cheek. Smile, creepy cables extending from his throat.

"As you command, my lord." The Birdmaster responded with his unopened mouth. The scream-like sound came directly from his torn throat. He smiled ferociously and began to click on the screen with his long fingers. He got up, but Otik turned around as he looked at the operator from the bridge behind him.

The war blacksmith walked towards the hologram stage, but Otik suddenly stopped just after taking a few steps. The bird commander below suddenly stopped his fingers. He looked at the blood-red screen in front of him and screamed again from the torn throat. stand up.

"Transmission signal detected, target is approaching rapidly."

Otik stopped and turned to look at the officer on the side. The latter immediately shook his head in denial. Otik was silent for a moment, and an ominous intuition suddenly came to his mind. He strode to Looking out the window from the armrest.

The bird divination leader below screamed silently with the corners of his torn mouth. The jump signal detection device in front of him began to alarm violently. The Thinker servitor next to the terminal console exploded instantly, with a bullet stuck in his head. All the cables were overloaded and exploded, and the entire servitor's head turned into a flesh-and-blood bomb, spraying brains onto the surrounding instruments and the ground.

The entire jump intensity index was completely off the charts. Not only that, all the early warning systems were screaming, and the entire bridge was echoed by the howls of a large number of servitors. His body was twitching violently, and some of his brains were scorched and he fell back. fell to the ground.

But Otik didn't care about them at all. He didn't care about those replaceable machines without souls and minds. His eyes were fixed on the huge portal that appeared outside the bridge, which was torn apart from the galaxy. Something huge is driving out.

A huge amount of subspace lightning jumped out of the blue portal, and purple and blue storm vortices blew out of it, blowing on the extremely huge creation. It was a fortress!

In front of the entire Chaos Fleet, an extremely huge man-made celestial body that had never been seen before sailed out of the subspace. Its size was so large that the portal itself was incredibly large, but it was definitely not an illusion, but It truly shows the reality in front of Otik.

Not just him, all the captains on the Chaos warships looked at the huge celestial body in front of them. Its huge bladed wings were suspended on both sides, and its core was in the center of the three pairs of giant wings that blocked the sun's rays. , a diamond-shaped core larger than any battleship, space station, or existing celestial body in the galaxy.

The slender and extremely huge core slowly drove out from the portal. It was so big that it completely blocked the sun. The light of the entire solar system was blocked by it. A huge shadow was cast on the Chaos invasion fleet. That huge The fleet and the entire starry sky were instantly shrouded in darkness.

It is like a sword, a cosmic giant sword that stands in front of the fleet and can cut through the galaxy and penetrate the planet. The slender blade and scabbard are its core, and the three pairs of huge wings surrounding it are It comes with a sharp edge.

"What the hell is that?" Otik asked in surprise. He looked at the giant ship suspended in the sea of ​​​​stars. When he raised his head and stared at the top of the giant sword that covered the sun, Balague beside him Er also walked up, and he and Otik looked up at the fortress that suddenly appeared in front of the fleet.

"I have never seen such a thing, sir. It is not in the legion's database. What do you think it is?" The officer turned to ask Otik, who looked at the fortress in silence and frowned. Looking at the huge wings that blocked the sunlight, the sunlight was diffusing from its edges, while the rest was completely in darkness due to the backlight.

He looked at the thing with his eyes half-covered by the Terminator armor. He squinted his eyes and looked at the transmitted sunlight. He saw some bright spots. Tiny light spots appeared on the giant feather on the right side.

That thing lit up on the dim surface of the wings, and was amplifying at an extremely fast speed. Otik looked at the tiny light spot, and suddenly his eyes widened because he discovered the reason for the amplification of the light spot. Things are shooting at them fast!

Otik's eyes widened, and he turned sharply to one side following the light bullet that was fired. He watched the light bullet hit another sailing frigate on the right side of the bridge, and the frigate instantly disappeared. The thing instantly penetrated the bow of the ship, and the entire battleship was torn apart from the inside of the hull in a huge moment.

The fire of the explosion impacted the outside of the bridge of Otik's flagship. The void shield kept flashing under the burning flames. The entire bridge was shaking violently under the impact of the close-range explosion, but Otik paid no attention to it at all. At the shock of the explosion, he raised his fist and raised his voice towards the bridge operating area below, roaring with a voice that was enough to overwhelm the sound of the explosion.

"All warships enter combat status immediately! Activate all ship's weapons and charge the void shield immediately!" Otik roared and gave the order. The Chaos crew below him also started operating in chaos, and the fallen sailors got up from the ground. Quickly running to their positions, the sailors sitting in their positions recovered from the shock of the explosion. They immediately began to tap on the mechanical keyboards in front of them, roaring to transmit their respective messages and orders.

The red warning of the battle flashed in the bridge, and the piercing alarms echoed in the huge bridge. The officers on duty began to run quickly. They ran between the control areas, and the furious battle orders were quickly Get passed on by the sailors around you.

As the mechanical keyboard was quickly tapped by fingers, information like snowflakes was transmitted to all parts of the battleship. On the left hand side of Captain Otik's platform, all the light spots on the fire control instrument were all lit up, which meant that all weapons had been All entered the combat position, the macro cannon pushed out the gun mantlet, and the automatic cannon and missile launcher all raised their firing ports on the top of the ship and aimed at the huge fortress in front of them.

"Sir, the weapon array is aimed at the target and waiting for orders!" the fire control officer turned and shouted to Otik, who clenched his fists and responded to his inquiry with a thunderous roar, "Fire!"

Along with Otik's roar, the officer nodded to the operator beside him, who suddenly pressed the flashing ready icon in front of him. As the red beating icon was pressed down, the entire battleship A rant began.

The automatic cannon on the top of the battleship began to fire violently at the fortress. A series of cannonballs were fired at the astral fortress that blocked the sun. The hive missile launchers and vertical launch silos around the automatic cannon fired dense missiles, flashing The shooter missiles glowing red roared from the top of the battleship, drawing a clear arc from the fleet and shooting towards the fortress.

The flashing warheads and automatic shells all hit the fortress. In an instant, a violent explosion exploded on the shield of the fortress. The fire swept across the entire blue shield surface, and continuous artillery fire bombarded it. Soon, The macro cannon also began to fire, and a salvo of giant naval shells hit the surface of the shield. The huge fire instantly illuminated a large area of ​​the starry sky.

But that was far from enough, not even enough to cover 5% of the shield surface of the astral fortress! Otik punched the handrail in front of him, and as the handrail sank again, the war blacksmith turned around and pointed at Balaguer beside him.

"Order the entire fleet to open fire and use all firepower on that thing!"

"Yes, sir!" The officer immediately bowed his head to Otik and strode to the operation area. He walked to the communication area and stood behind several mortal sailors and shouted orders. They also immediately executed the orders. With the almost mixed command transmission sounds of five or six communicators, Otik's orders were immediately responded to by the entire fleet.

The warships in the Chaos Fleet completed emergency turns one after another, from frigates to large cruisers, sailing to both sides, and they aimed their side equipped with heavy weapons at the giant fortress in front of them.

Countless artillery fire was fired from the sailing Chaos warships. Whistling missiles, macro cannon shells, light spears and large and small artillery arrays all fired fiercely at the fortress. The naval guns roared with surging flames and retreated behind the gun shield. While the buffer brake device was working, the volley of naval cannon shells also hit the Sky Blade Fortress.

Explosions like raindrops exploded on the entire surface of the giant fortress, and the surging fire swept around and engulfed the shield. Those flames burned briefly in the vacuum of the universe, but before they went out, new shells and missiles would be fired up, and thus the gorgeous space explosion feast was staged one after another.

The huge Dark Mechanicus warship climbed out of the fleet with its belly propulsion engine spraying. It aimed its bow at the Sky Blade. The Nova Cannon hanging under its bow flashed with dazzling light and shot out instantly. The bright beam of light from the Nova Cannon bombarded the Sky Blade's shield, but the beam that could penetrate almost all existing void shields had no effect on the shield of the fortress.

Instead, the warships of the Dark Mechanicus were the first to come out, and were torn apart by the artillery fire from the Sky Blade in an instant. The degenerate mechanical creations that exploded and disintegrated turned into a shower of steel meteors flying in all directions.

Vito stood on the bridge of the Sky Blade, looking at the flying artillery fire in front of him. The powerful energy shield blocked all the incoming firepower in the void a long distance away from the main body of the fortress. The flames of the explosion danced around on the shield, like a strange dance.

Vito stood on the edge of the suspended disc with his hands behind his back. He stood down from the throne. Vito never liked to sit during a war. He liked to stand or walk around in the command room, commanding and thinking about strategic and tactical issues while walking, and now was no exception.

The rolling fire cloud illuminated Vito's face. He turned his head slightly to look at Helen behind him. She was still standing on the armrest of the throne. There were several data interfaces in front of her as she dragged and pulled her fingers. "Just now, the first calibration shell hit the target with one shot. I want you to lock them, right?"

"Locked, sir." Helen placed her finger on an interface in front of her and looked at it. She then raised her eyes that were shining with data and looked at Vito. The latter stood in front of the holographic window with gunfire flying and slowly turned his head. He lowered his head and looked at the Chaos fleets under his feet, watching the countless shining gunfire they fired.

"Then open fire. I think they are fighting happily. It's our turn."

"With pleasure, sir." Helen smiled and closed her eyes. The moment her eyes went dark, the fire control lock interface appeared. From the unique angle of the head of the Sky Blade, which was like a giant looking down, countless red circles and fire control data marks locked the densely packed warships below.

Helen raised her finger lightly, and as she raised it, the weapon system of the entire fortress was activated like a part of her body. On the giant wings on both sides of the Sky Blade, weapon arrays slid out from the surface of the giant wings. Those smooth steel surfaces that seemed to have no gaps at all quickly opened windows, and countless advanced weapons slid out of them.

The giant wings on both sides were originally complete weapon parts. There was no living area, no hall, and no factory inside them. Instead, they were slowly filled with their own destructive weapons. The three pairs of wings were like the legendary six-winged archangel's wings of destruction. Just a slight flap could bring the judgment of destruction to the mortal world.

When the horn of judgment sounded, the mortal world would come to an end. Humans did not know what would happen at the end of the world, but they also attached their imagination to it. The No. 1 machine of the Judgment Day-class fortress, the Sky Blade, was the culmination of that imagination.

As Helen gently waved her palm forward, just like an archangel flapping his wings, the dense array of weapons on the Sky Blade's giant wings began to roar, and countless destructive artillery fire fell into the Chaos Fleet in an instant.

The shining light bullets shot from the giant wings bombarded a frigate that was sailing rapidly to one side. The first light bullet instantly penetrated the void shield, and the second light bullet accurately connected and hit it at the moment of breaking the shield. In the blink of an eye, the frigate turned into a blooming flaming flower in the explosion.

The dense flashing cannon rain smashed into the fleet like a meteor shower, and at the same time, the decomposition lightning cannons that fired at the fleet also struck leaping lightning into the fleet. When the first lightning hit the first warship, its entire energy system was completely burned by lightning in an instant, and the void shield disappeared with a flash.

"Captain! Our void shield has disappeared!" The first mate of the Faithful looked at the interface in front of him in fear. He turned to look at the captain on the captain's command platform. The one who had removed the Imperial Skyhawk from his cap The ripped off traitor captain looked out the window at the fortress, and screamed as he stared at the incoming laser beams with wide eyes.

"Four Gods, save me!" The syllables of his words disappeared together with them before they hit the ground. A vertical laser blade cut through the top of the Faithful, and the whizzing light blade was like a hot blade. The battleship was split into two from the central axis like butter. As the light blade cut through, a series of explosions exploded inside the battleship.

The shattered battleship instantly exploded into a ball of fireworks in the background of the galaxy. Its raging flames spread and swept around, and the light blade that cut from it quickly cut off a cruiser behind it. The battleship The void shield broke almost instantly when it touched the light blade. The roaring blade instantly penetrated the thick armor on the side of the armor and cut it off with a single blow.

The battle cruiser that broke from the center exploded and disintegrated. The explosion from the center blew the wreckage of the battleship away. The disintegrated propulsion engine at the end hit the destroyer passing by from one side. The bow of the battleship passing by at high speed The destroyer was deflected due to the impact, and then collided with the battleship on the other side.

The light blade continued to chop back more warships, and several ships on the same level exploded one after another. Otik, who was on the Iron Will, looked at the exploding fleet on one side. He looked at the rapidly reddening ship in front of him. Rows of battleships disappeared from the fleet list in just a few minutes.

He looked at the fortress above his head. Above the fortress where countless cannon fire was fired from the bridge window, the end swords of each of the three pairs of huge wings shone brightly, accompanied by the huge sun. A flashing sphere shines, and at the moment it reaches its bright spot, a straight blade of light will be shot out from it, cleaving the locked battleship.

Those huge wings are just like the wings of destruction waved by the legendary archangel. The shining sphere controls the broad blade to strike horizontally and vertically, just like a sword-wielding angel who is constantly swinging a long sword. He kept swinging the burning holy sword to kill.

Otik looked at the fortress shield that was constantly being engulfed by explosions. Countless artillery fires, countless light spears and torpedoes were fired at the shining shield, but the entire Chaos fleet fought for five or six minutes to even destroy the shield. Not a single layer of skin was removed, and the bright blue mesh shield showed no sign of weakening.

This was almost a one-sided massacre. Another battleship exploded in front of Otik. The battleship that looked out the window blossomed into fireworks in the galaxy.

On the captain's console next to Otik, the communication channel was filled with calls for help and screams. The Space Marines still remained calm. The captains of each legion calmly ordered the fleet to maneuver to the outside. They did not wait. They were ordered to wait for death on the spot, but the mortal traitors were completely panicked. They were hunted like a group of hares in front of the fortress.

Otik roared angrily and smashed the console next to him with a punch. The crystal screen was instantly shattered by the punch of the Terminator's iron fist. Small electric sparks jumped out from it, and all the screams followed the iron fist. The blow disappeared.

"Order the fleet to disperse! Don't crowd into a bunch and use it as a target! Disperse!" Otik shouted to the officer behind him, who immediately turned around and gave the order to the communication team members, who quickly began to switch between messages full of distress and distress. Called the communication band, new orders began to be issued quickly.

Otik turned his head and looked at the huge starship passing by the bridge. The huge black ship rushed out from the side of the chaotic fleet with bright flames at the end. Others rushed out with him. Several battleships also manned by Space Marines.

"The Fire of Khorne? What are Abaddon's men going to do?" Balaguer walked to Otik and asked, his eyes looking at the giant ship rushing towards the boundary of the battlefield. Maneuver on the side and rear of the fort.

Balaguer followed them with his eyes, and Otik naturally looked at them, "They want to try to break through the fortress's shield from behind. Logically speaking, if the front shield is so strong, the rear shield will be It will be correspondingly weaker.”

"Do you think they will succeed?" Balaguer looked at Otik and asked. The calm war blacksmith looked at them, watching the ships quickly rushing to one side. They avoided the intensive artillery fire of the fortress and took advantage of the As those stupid mortal traitor captains were massacred in a mess, they broke through the fortress's artillery blockade.

"No," Otik replied curtly.

——

Helen stood on the disc, with a large series of data and information floating in front of her eyes. Her fingers quickly processed and clicked on the information window in front of her. Helen's eyes jumped from one transparent holographic window to another. Looking at Vito in the distance from a window.

He was standing on the edge of the suspended platform with his hands behind his back. He stood in front of the holographic window and overlooked the battle below. The light spear bombarded the shield outside. The flash caused by the attack shone on the front of his body, accompanied by every explosion. In the firelight, the edges of his body will be lit up in the firelight.

Helen looked at Vito thinking about something, but suddenly her thoughts were interrupted. She felt something hit her back, like being hit by a pebble.

Helen closed her eyes and twisted her head back. From the view of the fortress, she saw five or six Chaos warships circling behind her. They were spraying plasma flames and circling behind the Sky Blade.

The Fire of Khorne took the lead. It led the small group of assault ships and fought behind the Sky Blade. The side guns on its side fired a salvo at the same time, and dozens of macro-cannon shells hit the rear side of the Sky Blade. On the shield, the shining shield surface quickly flashed across the entire surface.

The five Chaos warships behind the Fire of Khorne also started firing salvos. They directed all their firepower at the Sky Blade, including macro cannons, light spears, bombardment cannons and all torpedoes, but that The gunfire was enough to tear the shield of any battleship into pieces, but it didn't even knock off a layer of the Sky Blade's skin.

Helen looked at them and gently raised their fingers. As Helen's fingers lifted up, a row of turbolaser cannons quickly slid across the surface behind the giant wings on both sides. The powerful muzzles were accompanied by Helen's fingers. He waved lightly and roared instantly, and dense laser beams bombarded the surface void shields of the Chaos warships like a torrential rain.

The shield held on for a while, but soon it shattered under the bombardment of the turbine cannon that almost turned into a beam of light and had a high rate of fire. The armor layer of the battleship was quickly penetrated, and the turbine beam hit each battleship in an instant. It became a hornet's nest, with explosive fire pouring out of the holes, and the rapidly galloping warship disintegrated during the voyage.

Their wreckage was scattered forward like flying meteors. The flying wreckage of the warship hit the outer layer of the Fire of Khorne, and its void shield was bounced away from the wreckage, but this black warship also It became the last battleship still moving forward.

Suddenly, the battleship turned around and moved towards the side and rear of Tianren at high speed. Helen looked at them and raised her eyebrows in confusion. She looked at the battleship approaching at high speed and pondered for a few tenths of a second. , only after a moment did I realize that they were preparing to use the traditional skills of space warriors. When they were unsure, they would jump on the gang and physically kill the enemy.

Their courage is commendable, but Helen will not appreciate that courage, nor does she know how to appreciate this last-ditch passionate moment of the Khorne man. It may be that her program does not compile this emotion, or it may be that she simply feels that it is meaningless. Meaningful, and stupid.

The Khorne warship rushed towards the Skyblade. The Khorne warriors on the ship were probably roaring and gearing up. Then they hit the Skyblade's shield. The warship crashed into a crushed wreckage in an instant, and then It instantly exploded into blooming sparks on the shield.

Helen looked at them and still didn't understand their behavior. Why didn't they retreat? Taking advantage of the fact that he didn't notice them for a short period of time, this was the wisest choice, and they chose to rush in?

Helen probably didn't understand that for Khorne's followers, escaping from the battlefield was probably more shameful than death. A glorious death in battle could lead to entry into Khorne's warrior temple, and escaping would not only be despised by Khorne, but would be chased by Khorne's hounds. , the soul will be expelled forever, wandering in the twisted void of subspace, it would be better to die happily.

"How's the situation?" Vito asked. Helen was startled and immediately opened her eyes and looked at Vito in front of her. He was still looking at the battlefield below, but the question just now was definitely for Helen. Apart from the two of them, there were also other people here. There is no one else.

"The weapon system operates at 50% power, and a quarter of the weapons have been used, but they are all conventional weapons. I think this battle does not require further attack methods."

"And now the enemy has been annihilated." "More than two-thirds, yes, I can see that."

Vito stood on the edge of the disc plane and looked at the sparks blooming in the sea of ​​stars. His eyes scanned the warships below that were beginning to disperse. Vito raised his head slightly, "They are dispersing, launching singularity missiles to annihilate these hares." ”

"As you command, sir."

As Helen spoke, she silently activated the launch program in her mind. The weapon link of the fortress quickly opened the launch port within a second of Helen giving the order. Missiles spurting blue flames shot out from the top of the sky blade. The missile fired from the scabbard of the giant sword flashed brightly and hit the fleeing fleet.

The singularity missile exploded in the Chaos Fleet. The explosion point created a small black hole. The surrounding space quickly shrank inward and collapsed. All the warships sailing around it were captured by gravity. At such a close distance, Propulsion engines simply can't free them from the black hole.

Those battleships, along with the shells and torpedoes they fired, were all captured by the black hole, and everything was sucked into it, swallowing up the surrounding ships like a whirlpool that suddenly appeared on the ocean.

The desperate voices of the traitors exploded in the communication channel. In the piercing screams, they and their ships were sucked into the black hole. One by one, the huge starships were squeezed inwards and shattered. The tough hulls were like Drink cans were crushed and inhaled like that.

"Lord Otik, the fleet loss has reached 87%! We should retreat to the periphery immediately!" The first mate below shouted upwards. Otik glanced down at the first mate, and then he looked out the window. Amidst the flying artillery fire, he carefully looked at the star fortress in front of him, trying to find any flaw.

He accidentally glanced at the display interface at hand, and gently clicked on the teleport icon. When the subspace jump window appeared in front of Otik's eyes, he immediately stood up.

Otik stood up abruptly. He clenched his fists and gave an order to the communications officer behind him, "Give an order to all existing fleets to disperse and break out. This fortress has not activated the jump jamming system. All warships will jump immediately after they break out of the fire zone!"

"Yes! Sir." The communication team member turned his head and responded, then turned to give the order to the communicator. Otik looked at the operating platform that started to transmit the order and slowly turned around. He looked at the Tiannin roaring in front of him with endless firepower. He frowned.

"The entire ship retreats to the outside of the battlefield and heads to the open area to prepare for an emergency jump." Otik approached Balaguer beside him and said. The latter nodded and strode off the captain's podium. Otik stood there. On the disc table, he frowned as he looked at the huge fortress outside the window.

The Iron Will began to turn quickly to one side, its propeller power was instantly fully activated, and the huge pillar of fire pushed it to retreat to the outside.

The battle flagship of the Iron Warriors crashed out of a large group of floating battleship wreckage. In a short time, it broke out from the battlefield filled with artillery fire. The rapidly advancing battleships rushed out of the sea of ​​​​explosion into the open space and rushed together with it. Also coming out were the remaining Chaos Space Marine warships.

They were the only remnants of this huge invasion fleet and rushed towards the boundary of the sector. Behind them was a sea of ​​burning fire. The huge sky blade stood on the other side of the fire, as if there was a person standing in the apocalypse. giant.

"Arrived in the open area, ready to start the emergency jump!" The avian commander below Otik shouted in a sharp voice, while Otik's eyes looked to the rear. He looked at the steel wall behind the bridge. It was as if he could see the Sky Blade still standing in the distance through the wall.

Suddenly, a bust of a man appeared on the holographic display in Otik's field of vision. He turned his head coldly and looked at Otik, who was stunned for a moment and then looked at the man with wide eyes.

"Marshal." Otik looked at him and whispered, while Vito looked at him with a cold and contemptuous look. The marshal raised his head slightly and looked at the war blacksmith of the Iron Warriors, his voice was like the cold sea breeze. It was transmitted to Otik’s ears through the forced intrusion of the communication frequency band.

"I will let you go, and when you go back, tell Abaddon that I have returned to Terra, tell him everything that happened here, and let the brat think about it before he comes to Terra to find me."

After Vito said this, he looked at Otik coldly. He seemed to be waiting for the war blacksmith's response. His eyes were fixed on Otik, calm and with a strong sense of coercion. The war blacksmith looked at Vito and remained silent for a moment. Bow to him.

"As you command, Marshal Constantine." "Then so be it."

After Vito said that, his body disappeared from the holographic platform. Otik slowly raised his head and looked at the closed holographic screen. He turned around and looked at the subspace teleportation rift that had been opened in front of him.

Vito, who was far away on the bridge of Sky Blade Fortress, also stood in front of the holographic glass and looked at Otik as he left. He watched the remaining five warships of the huge fleet jump into the subspace, and Helen behind Vito. All of a sudden he pushed open the data windows in front of him, and looked at Vito with confusion and surprise.

"You let them go, sir, but why? I could have killed them."

"I need them to go back alive and bring a message to Abaddon. If we annihilate the entire fleet here, Abaddon will not think that this is done by the empire, but will suspect that some alien force is also plotting against Terra. He is very worried. Know what the empire’s military strength is in the solar system.”

"Abaddon will not be afraid of those aliens. If he thinks that there are aliens trying to get involved in Terra, it will only make him faster and take down Terra at any cost. Like Horus, he will not allow his prey to interact with Terra. The glory of victory was taken away by others.”

Vito's eyes looked at the wreckage of the fleet floating in the starry sky below. The floating wreckage of the Chaos warships were burning with flames. The wreckage of the entire fleet surrounded the Sky Blade like an asteroid belt. The entire fleet was destroyed today. Here it is.

"And Abaddon is afraid of me, especially when Otik killed his entire fleet with the Sky Blade, and after the news of my appearance in Terra was brought back to Abaddon, he rarely trusts other people, especially in At this time, but he will believe Otik and believe what the Iron Warrior War Blacksmith says, the kid will start to hesitate. He doesn’t know what else I can do. This hesitation will make him slow down his attack on Terra. ”

"Abaddon will regroup his forces and raise a larger force to increase his chances of victory against me, and this, this gives me time to travel to Terra and reorganize Terra's defenses, and..."

"Take over the High Lords Council."

Vito said from a distance with his hands behind his back. Helen looked at Vito's back and was silent for a moment, but then nodded. She also put her hands behind her back and stood on the CD with her chest raised and her head raised. Go to Terra? I think this demonstration of force will help you a lot when you take over the Council."

"No, there's no need, and the Sky Blade's appearance in Terra now will only cause more unnecessary trouble." Vito said and turned to Helen. He walked to the captain's throne and looked at Helen on the CD. The artificial intelligence lady also looked up at Vito and waited for orders.

Vito looked around at everything around him, looking at the halo and holographic data flow floating around, "The Sky Blade appears in Terra. Everything here and your existence will only lead to division within the Mechanicus. They have to because AI and intelligence issues have been arguing for a long time, and they have even fought a civil war.”

"At this time?" Helen asked in surprise, while Vito smiled helplessly and shrugged, "Yes, those oil guys are so weird, don't use ordinary "human" thinking to understand them."

"Call has to go to Mars to start the Primaris Project, so we can't let the Adeptus Mechanicus start fighting at this time." Vito said, touching the suspended captain's chair in front of him with his fingers, and his eyes glanced at Helen.

"Drive the Sky Blade to the asteroids in the Kuiper Belt and hide it there. Neither Chaos nor the Empire can find it in that damn place, even if it is hiding a giant fortress hundreds of kilometers long."

Vito smiled and looked at the information window sliding by. Helen also smiled and nodded, "Indeed, neither the Empire nor the Chaos side has detected its technology. It will be very safe in the Kuiper Belt." ”
