Chapter 276 Return to Ers, subspace card drawing starts!
That was the message that the Primarch passed to the top of the Empire.
As the flagship of the Imperial Blood Merchants, the Govendi was also qualified to receive this information.
Guilliman issued such a warning to people:
Unprecedented darkness is gathering, and a certain evil omen of the Warp that spreads throughout the galaxy is about to take shape. The war against the Chaos Gods has never been so difficult and dangerous as it is now.
Humanity is only one step away from extinction...
The Primarch's voice echoed in the cabin.
Ron couldn't help but sit up straight, his eyes penetrated the porthole and stared at the endless starry sky outside.
At this moment, his mood was very complicated.
During this period of time, he remained optimistic about the situation.
He believed that the disaster from Chaos had reached its peak, and it had reached the bottom anyway, so the next step would be upward.
Unexpectedly, that was the beginning of the disaster.
His estimate of the impact of the Great Rift was wrong.
It was just the initial shock before, and the Great Rift has only just opened!
Suddenly, Ron felt a palpitation.
His psychic senses keenly sensed the changes in the Warp.
The warp was surging, and the nightmare-like visions were eroding reality like erupting volcanic ash.
In the galaxy, the Great Rift was expanding like wildfire, bringing more areas into the dark side.
Extremely evil eyes were watching humanity.
The warning of the Primarch was confirmed.
The suffering was intensifying!
Ron reacted suddenly and immediately controlled the main body to send a warning to the territory.
Let the various institutions organize defense.
However, it was still a step too late.
The impact of the changes in the Great Rift was so fierce that thousands of messages for help instantly filled the channels of the Royal Court.
At the same time, more news came.
The psychics in the territory were affected to varying degrees, and dozens or hundreds of psychics were corrupted under the influence of the warp.
Killed on the spot.
The detection devices placed by the monitoring station in the surrounding star regions all found traces of aliens.
What's more troublesome is that there have been varying degrees of chaos invasions in various parts of the territory!
Fortunately, the territory had previously carried out a round of cleaning activities called "Great Purification", which almost eliminated most of the chaos corrosion.
So although this Chaos invasion caused some casualties and losses, it was not to the point where it was difficult to deal with.
Soon, Ron received a report from the Military Affairs Department:
Several war groups, elite Storm Group Army, and the Inquisition have gathered their forces and will go to various places through the webway to quell the rebellion.
According to predictions, their troops are enough to quell the turmoil in the territory in a short time.
Ron breathed a sigh of relief, but the sense of crisis in his heart was not relieved.
Judging from the signs in the territory, the expansion of the Great Rift is extremely rapid.
Although there is no problem here, at most there will be a slight turbulence.
But he can imagine what a miserable state the human empire is in today.
At this moment, Holy Terra should be swallowed up by the tide of desperate star language communications.
The expansion of the Great Rift again affects every corner of the empire's territory, and large areas of star regions are suffering from the invasion of darkness.
Taking advantage of the raging storm, the covetous aliens accelerated their invasion of the empire's territory.
Countless cultists and evil psykers raised the banner of rebellion.
I don't know how many civilized worlds of the Empire will fall in this disaster.
The broadcast continued.
Ron could sense it.
Although Guilliman tried his best to restrain himself, his breathing became deeper and his voice became heavier.
Obviously, he received the news of the catastrophe and sensed the changes in the galaxy.
Guilliman's voice became louder and louder: In the face of evil, the Emperor stands with his people, and so does the Supreme Commander of the Empire!
The Primarch vowed that he would never shrink behind the walls of Holy Terra and let the enemies of mankind wreak havoc on the territory of the Empire.
He will, as always, fight among the stars and lead the way, facing the invaders in the name of the Emperor.
In the face of the disaster of extinction, the Empire must be united and point the spearhead at heretics, aliens, evildoers and mutants!
The Primarch named this desperate blow to the enemies of mankind the "Indomitable Crusade".
Wherever the flag points, the light of the Astronomican will penetrate the darkness and illuminate the journey for the magnificent army that has not been seen since the Great Crusade!
"The road ahead is full of war, and the Empire will respond generously..."
At the end of the broadcast, Guilliman read softly.
Beep——
The broadcast ended.
The cabin became silent.
After a while.
Ron sighed: "Old Guilliman has tried his best, I can't fall behind..."
Originally, he just wanted to hide behind Guilliman and develop steadily step by step in the back.
Give some support at the right time.
But according to the current situation, the territory is not as safe as imagined. He must speed up the development and pull up more fleets and high-level armed forces.
With Guilliman's oath, the Indomitable Crusade will be officially launched, and anyone who dares to stop it will be eliminated!
I am afraid that the cleansing has already begun on Holy Terra today.
He can roughly guess the Empire's next move.
New armies will be recruited, weapons never seen before will be built in the Martian factories; new fleets will be built, and magnificent war engines will demonstrate the Emperor's name.
At the same time, the frenzy of mass production will be unstoppable, and every servant of the Emperor will perform his duties and devote everything.
There is no doubt.
A total war across the entire galaxy has begun.
In the face of the increasingly fierce subspace frenzy, no world can stay out of it.
Ron pondered and determined the next development goal of the territory in his heart: frenzied mass production!
In addition to forming a powerful armed force, he will also provide external support.
In the future, he wants every hot war place in the galaxy to be filled with war weapons engraved with the savior emblem!
After the local war is over, the territory can also settle in the relevant civilized world, build infrastructure and make some cooperative development agreements.
In the current expansion charter of the territory, only the planets bordering the territory area are slowly recovered.
For those planets that are too far away or even outside the star field, it is not cost-effective to occupy them.
Now that the galaxy is surrounded by enemies, in that case, occupying enclaves far away from the center will only increase management costs.
Affect the pace of territory development.
It is a better choice to seize resources and beliefs through cooperation or garrisoning, and each takes what it needs.
Of course, that is only temporary. When it develops to a certain extent, it is not impossible to expand again.
Ron got up from the sofa, stretched, and walked out:
"Sure enough, I still prefer to do infrastructure, production, and then create more firepower. The bloodline is inherited..."
Ding ding ding.
Shashim's communication came:
"Lord Savior, according to radar detection, a merchant fleet secretly followed our ship..."
He was a little eager to try: "I guess it's that woman's fleet. Should we get rid of them?"
It seems that the merchant spokesperson Nia Danda is looking for trouble.
Merchants walk on the edge of gray all year round, and wars are common.
She is probably dissatisfied with the fact that the Emperor Blood Family of Gowendi dared to "betray" the alliance and join the arms of the Primarch.
To block the Gowendi at this time is obviously not taking the Primarch seriously, how arrogant.
Ron thought about it and shook his head.
"That guy won't be around for a few days. We don't have time to deal with her. We just need to speed up the warp and get rid of them.
We have to return to Ers as soon as possible."
"Yes!"
Soon, Shahim followed the order and drove the Govendi with the frigate into the warp warp.
However, not long after, the merchant fleet caught up again.
Ron frowned:
"It seems that their ships are also high-end goods, and they can also use the relay station to lock our position."
Activities on the bright side of the Empire are indeed easy to be tracked.
He was a little tempted to transfer the Dream to kill this merchant fleet.
After hesitating for a while, he gave up the idea.
After all, Nia Danda will soon be eliminated by Guilliman, and then the merchant fleet under her name will probably be taken over by the Empire.
Provide transportation services for the Indomitable Expedition.
It is not cost-effective to blow up these high-end goods.
Ron asked Shahim to avoid the relay station and continue to warp.
After several jumps, the Govendi arrived at an area without a relay station, and then got rid of the merchant fleet.
…
The Govendi had just jumped out of the subspace.
Boom——
The sudden attack shook the ship.
Inside the bridge.
Ron stabilized his body, and he soon realized that it was an attack from the enemy ship!
He roughly understood the current situation.
When the Govendi jumped out of the subspace, the Geller force field had just dissipated, and the void shield had not yet fully risen.
The enemy ship took the opportunity to launch a fierce attack.
"The Geller force field of this ship is overloaded and cannot jump!"
The electric arcs of the lines around flashed, and the technical adjutant operated on the panel and issued a report.
At the same time, the technician in charge of the radar reported:
"The traces of the enemy were found, two cruisers, the emblems on the hull showed that they were... Chaos warships under the command of the Great Predator Abaddon!"
As soon as the words fell.
The bridges were silent.
These young crew members have all received relevant education at the Zhongsi Academy.
They obviously know how terrible an opponent the Great Predator Abaddon is.
Now that the Geller force field has been damaged, it is difficult for them to escape through the warp.
"Charge the void shield for defense, prepare to counterattack... Find the nearest webway entrance!"
As the captain, Shashim was not much flustered, and issued one order after another.
Ron didn't say much.
His ability to command ships is not much better than these outstanding graduates who have studied at Zhongsi Academy for many years.
At this moment, he is more worried about Abaddon's attitude.
It is not a good thing to provoke such a powerful opponent in the real universe.
This is not a big grudge.
As for being so persistent in looking for me?
I just don't know if this encounter is a coincidence, or a deliberate ambush here.
It feels like both are possible.
After all, Abaddon has a large number of Chaos wizards under his command, and they can even predict when Belisarius Cawl will go to rescue Guilliman.
Just now they were in the warp and it was normal for those Chaos wizards to find their tracks.
But none of this mattered. The important thing was to get out as soon as possible. It would be better to come out less in the future.
Ron silently remembered this account of Abaddon in his heart.
He would find a chance to snatch the long-awaited alert star from Abaddon and make him angry!
Boom boom boom——
The light spear ray and the torpedo collided.
The warships of both sides fought, and the Govendi fought one against two and was not at a disadvantage.
Ron frowned.
The Chaos warships under Abaddon's command are very strong, obviously higher than the Crimson King's warships.
It seems that in the short term, it will be difficult to determine the winner.
In this case, you must not get entangled with them. If there are enemy reinforcements nearby, you will be in trouble.
Thoughts flashed by.
Sure enough, Shahim had the same idea.
After the technical adjutant found the nearest Webway entrance, the Govindi immediately turned around and headed towards the Webway entrance at full speed.
However, two enemy Chaos warships caught up with them at a faster speed.
Both sides continued to bombard.
The two battleships were damaged in many places, but they did not show any sluggishness. Instead, they accelerated their charge.
It crashed straight towards the Govindi.
Ron frowned when he saw this scene. Those Chaos warriors wanted to join the gang!
This is a common tactic used by Chaos warbands.
If those Chaos Space Marines were allowed to jump gangs and enter the Govindi, the merchant guards would not be able to stop them.
The Govindi is getting closer and closer to the entrance to the webway, and the two Chaos warships following the ship are also getting closer.
Inside the bridge.
Shahim and the crew were very nervous, with cold sweat breaking out on their foreheads.
"It's okay, we can get into the webway before they hit us."
Ron estimated the approximate distance.
He patted Shahim on the shoulder and told him not to be too nervous.
After experiencing so many battles, this situation is only a moderately interesting scene to him.
Whoosh——
A twisted channel appeared in the void in front of the Govindi.
That's the entrance to the Webway.
After receiving the astrological coordinate information from the Govindi, the Erth Star Torch immediately transferred the information to the Blackstone Throne.
Fortunately, this network entrance is registered and can be used.
The request to use the webway passed quickly, and the Blackstone Throne opened the entrance to the webway.
Whoosh!
The Govindi rushed towards the entrance and disappeared with the distortion of space before being hit by the Chaos warship.
However, the two warships did not stop at all and also charged forward.
disappear into this airspace together.
Then the Webway passage closed, leaving only a barren void.
It didn't take long.
boom--
With strong spatial distortion, an unimaginably huge ship crashed out.
On the dark and ferocious ship is a huge doomsday cannon.
That's the planet killer, the flagship of Abaddon the Despoiler!
This is a creepy and terrifying battleship, and the shadow brought by its arrival is enough to conquer any sector that dares to resist.
Because of the power of the Doomsday Cannon, it can easily penetrate the crust of any planet outside the atmosphere and hit the core of the planet.
The entire civilized world was torn apart and shattered by violent geological movements!
At least dozens of planets were destroyed by it.
The Planet Killer slowly stopped and began to search the nearby airspace.
But apart from some wreckage of ships and artillery shells, they found nothing.
Inside the bridge.
The ferocious shadow stood like a moving fortress.
"Demon Eater!"
Along with the unwilling and hoarse and terrifying voice, the scarlet eyes suddenly lit up.
Staring straight into the void in front of him.
The further intensification of the Great Crack has made the activities of the big predators more frequent.
…
Within the network channel.
Whoosh——
The shadow of the Govindi appeared and moved forward at full speed.
Behind it, two Chaos warships attacked. The nearly three hundred meters long collision angle on their bows was ferocious, and they were about to collide with each other.
Inside the Chaos Battleship.
The ragged, dirty and corrupted crewmen controlled the battleship to accelerate continuously, seemingly not worrying about the consequences of a collision between the two ships.
Roar--
In the ferocious alloy cabin, hundreds of Chaos Space Marines roared.
They were filled with murderous intent and couldn't wait to board the ship and tear apart all living creatures.
No one can stop the Chaos Warriors' offensive!
Inside the bridge of the Govindi.
Ron looked at the ship's radar panel quietly, and the enemy Chaos warship caught up with him at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It will hit the Govindi in about thirty seconds. At the speed of the Govindi, there is absolutely no way to escape.
However, he didn't feel any nervousness.
Since those Chaos warriors like to fight in gangs so much, let’s do it!
He just likes to entertain these tough guys.
Ron was counting down in his mind.
as time flows.
Even in the bridge, you can feel the aura of chaos approaching, about to collide.
coming!
Ron's eyes lit up.
boom--
When the anticipation and excitement of the Chaos warriors reached their peak, the battleship suddenly suffered a violent collision.
The entire ship shook violently and almost rolled over.
Just now, two strange-looking warships rushed out from the side of the webway and collided with them without any defensive measures.
The violent collision caused damage to both ships, and huge gaps appeared in the hulls.
This sudden impact caused the corrupted crew members in the Chaos battleship to fall to the ground, and the skulls of some unlucky guys hit the wall and exploded.
They are afraid of this.
The excited roars of the Chaos warriors also stopped abruptly.
However, this is not over yet.
In countless fearful eyes.
Those ugly battleships magically reversed on the spot, and then crashed into them again like dump trucks.
Boom!
The two Chaos warships were hit again and were pressed against the barrier of the webway and could not move.
The shock stopped.
The Chaos warriors just got up and saw the green tide surging.
Waaagh——
The green-skinned orc leader Bone Eater Steelfang rushed over and clamped the head of a Chaos warrior with his giant claws.
Hammered violently.
Until it was beaten into a meat paste mixed with armor fragments.
More greenskins roared and attacked, drowning the Chaos warriors...
Inside the bridge.
Ron retracted his gaze, as if everything was expected.
Sure enough, professional matters are better left to professionals.
Obviously, those greenskin orcs know how to collide and fight better than Chaos warriors.
When he put the Chaos warships into the webway, their tragic fate was doomed.
The number of greenskins in the webway was overwhelming, and no one could defeat Rogo in the webway!
The Govendi continued to move forward.
In the webway behind it, more and more greenskin warships surrounded the Chaos warship, and the greenskins jumped into the Chaos warship like flying people.
At the same time, more greenskin engineering machinery began to approach the ship to dismantle it, fearing that the iron sheets and parts would be snatched away by other greenskins.
Not long after, the Chaos warship was completely dismantled.
The greenskins took the parts of the Chaos warship and the bodies of Chaos warriors to their own ships.
Then they boarded the ship and rushed away.
——
Two months later.
The balcony of the Spire Mansion.
Ron leaned on the fence, overlooking the peaceful and harmonious territory, feeling quite comfortable.
The scene of Holy Terra in his mind and the scenery in front of him made him feel like he was in another world.
It’s still better to have his own territory...
Full of security.
The turmoil caused by the expansion of the Great Rift has subsided.
After taking back the missionary rights and the Imperial Blood Merchant License from Holy Terra, the State Church and the Merchant Department began to get busy.
The State Church and the Star Torch Court jointly led a large number of pilgrim ships to come to the holy land for worship.
At the same time, the Holy Book of Redemption and the way to contact the Holy Land were handed over to the pilgrims, so that they could spread it to other devout pilgrims.
Spread the glory of the Savior to more places.
When the pilgrims contacted the Astronomican, they had to undergo several tests before they could get the navigation guidance of the Astronomican.
Then, under the guidance of the Astronomican, the pilgrim ship would arrive at a clear area full of defense arrays. After confirming safety, it could enter the airport and go to the Holy Land.
The business department also organized more caravans and began to try to develop routes.
In order to carry out trade in the future and sell Ers' weapons and goods.
As the situation in the galaxy became more and more tense, Ron accelerated the pace of armed construction.
The Military Affairs Department has launched a new round of military expansion to increase the number of new blood of the army group and interstellar warriors.
A large number of psychic automated weapons manufacturing factories on the lunar forge world have been put into operation.
Some troubles are the formation of the fleet.
Given the construction volume of the ship, it is difficult to expand quickly. Fortunately, there is a solution to this problem.
The number of lost ships in the warp is unimaginable.
Ron plans to go there directly to pull some hulls and ship-borne weapons back for transformation.
But what is more troublesome for him is the technological development of the territory.
This is difficult to break through in a short period of time.
The research and transformation of dreadnoughts, imperial knights, and Titans has encountered a bottleneck.
The existing technology cannot support the transformation to make them semi-automatic.
Originally, he wanted to use these semi-automatic war engines as his flagship products, but unfortunately they have not been put into use.
Now if he wants to develop technology quickly, he may have to get some technology from the Mechanicus.
After all, they have accumulated and collected technical knowledge for tens of thousands of years. Many technologies they have never used and are sealed as taboo knowledge.
However, it is probably more difficult to get those imperial oilers to share knowledge than to kill them.
It's difficult...
Ron has a headache.
He slapped his head: "Forget it, if you are in doubt, go to the warp directly!"
Instead of worrying, it is better to go to the warp to salvage ships and pick up garbage.
What if you pick up a complete STC that no one wants, or a golden age brain?
That would be great!
Ron turned back to the bedroom and lay down on the soft big bed.
He closed his eyes, his consciousness went into the subspace, and possessed the little sun.
Subspace card draw, start!!!
