Warhammer: The Beginning is the Crisis of Annihilation

  Chapter 489 The Age of Miracles (Seeking Subscription)

  Hearing what Guilliman said, Vulcan no longer objected.

  He can also see his brother's ultimate goal.

   Regardless of how many universes the Empire has conquered and waged colonial wars against.

   These are secondary.

  A powerful empire is a means, not an end.

  The duel between humans and the gods of chaos is what Guilliman, the Holy Emperor, needs to focus on the most.

  Everything planned so far has been aimed at weakening Chaos and strengthening the Empire.

  For the failure of the final battle, leave a way out.

  This is a war that concerns all human beings.

   It's just that the level of the outbreak is different, and many people don't feel much about it.

   They are mere cogs in this gigantic war machine, not knowing the end of the machine.

   The war against Nurgle, the God of Plague, was firstly to rescue the Goddess of Life of the Spirit Race, and secondly to test the strength of the Chaos Gods in this universe.

   For a long time, facing the gods of chaos, the human empire has been in a passive defensive state.

   Demons and traitors are maintaining an aggressive offensive, constantly looting the territory of the empire.

   As long as the empire can repel them, it will be considered a victory.

   As a result, the empire slowly embarked on a path of decline.

  The empire's active attack will be a huge change in the game between humans and gods.

   Holding the initiative in your own hands is the key to victory on the battlefield.

   It cannot always be that demons invade humans.

  That is too passive, consumes a lot of resources, and sooner or later it will collapse.

   Only by reversing the defensive can we win.

  Let the Inanimate know that not only the Warp can push forward, but humans can invade their worlds too.

  The invasion of Nurgle Garden is an important historic event.

  Before the emperor left, he also launched an attack on the realm of the gods.

   But in essence, it was still just a subspace war.

   Instead of the war of the real universe against the subspace.

  Before Vulkan arrived, Guilliman and Corax had already made detailed plans.

  Vulcan led an expeditionary army and heroic spirits to launch a frontal offensive on Nurgle's domain.

  Corax led an elite force straight into the core area.

   Burn Nurgle's old house to save the imprisoned Eldar Goddess of Life.

  Vulcan read their plans.

   After confirming some mission details, he printed his biological seal on the action plan.

  A strategic plan signed by the Holy Emperor and the two Primarchs was thus born.

  Guilliman's execution ability is extremely terrifying.

   After confirming that there is no problem.

   began to promote this strategic plan.

  A letter of order was sent from his study, and the communication department handed it over to the various imperial orders, allowing them to act according to their own orders and prepare for this expedition.

   Some orders were sent to Titan.

  There is the home world of the Gray Knights.

  The Gray Knights are the pillars against the demons. If you want to attack Nurgle's garden, you cannot succeed without the rich experience of the Gray Knights.

   It is also easy for the empire to fall into a disadvantaged situation.

  For this plan, Guilliman recalled most of the gray knight masters to ensure the strength of the human army and ensure the safety of this mission.

   Some orders were also sent to the planet Luna, which is the moon.

  The Moon is home to the monastery of the Silent Sisters, in addition to the Genetic Sect, which is slowly recovering.

  During the dark ages, Sister Silence once left Terra to fight in other galaxies.

   It wasn't until Guilliman woke up that they began to return to Terra, and joined hands with their former combat companions-the Custodian Forces again.

  At the peak moment, the identity of the Silent Sister is equivalent to that of the Imperial Army.

   is the emperor's right-hand man, the most trusted army.

  The elders of the Senate did not understand this.

  The characteristics of the soulless make them disgusted and fear involuntarily.

  To get rid of this fear, they sent the nuns elsewhere and forgotten them, leaving them to be consumed slowly in the dark corners of the galaxy.

  After Guilliman returned, these Sisters of Silence were employed again.

  They were once again active on the stage of the empire, and gained the power to participate in the affairs of the empire.

  The Sister of Silence is the bane of demons.

  Even though weapons with soulless characteristics have become popular nowadays, the Sisters of Silence are still the most valuable force in the empire, used to fight against subspace.

  Invasion of Nurgle Garden, their existence will bring fear to many demons.

   Messages were also sent to Terra and Mars urging the Council and Mechanicum to coordinate and schedule this expedition.

   Many troops gathered from all directions.

  They don't know the content of the combat mission, just out of obedience.

  Guilliman did not intend to tell them in advance.

  Any unnecessary talk will cause the news to leak out and put the enemy on their guard.

   Expedition fleet assembles in outer orbit of Pluto.

  Several celestial-class battleships shining like stars are suspended in the void.

  A large number of small repair ships are swimming around, using mechanical tentacles to conduct final inspections on the hulls of these warships, repairing those damaged places, and ensuring that they can complete their combat missions.

  Some mechanical priests checked various systems inside the ship.

  Even the plasma engine has been turned off, allowing the technicians to go deep into the plasma conversion channel to inspect the relevant components.

   At the same time, a large number of transport and supply ships jumped out of the void.

  Unload resources from all over the galaxy and send them to these warships.

  Providing supplies for these ships is a very complicated and difficult matter.

  The imperial officials arranged it in an orderly and orderly manner.

  There is no comparison between the past and the present.

  The solar system is the origin of mankind, and the center of power and scientific research is here.

   Gathered the elites of the entire human race.

   Those who can enter the solar system are all elites screened from various galaxies.

  Just pick one out, and its title can be read all day long.

  There is basically no such thing as indigenous people in the current solar system.

  Even if they were born in China, as long as they are not capable enough, they will be dispatched to other places.

  This kind of thing is a little cruel.

  Send a native-born person directly to an unfamiliar place, and let him live there for the rest of his life.

   However, this is a helpless move.

   For the empire to remain efficient, it must have enough talent.

   Those who were born in the solar system and have insufficient abilities are of little use. On the contrary, they cause more waste of resources because they enjoy the welfare treatment of the empire.

   Transporting the rations of a useless person from other galaxies is also a loss.

   is a waste of resource efficiency.

  There is a cost to transport food to the solar system.

   It is a very bad thing for a person who has no output, but the empire wants to maintain his welfare.

  Eating fish in a seaside city and eating fish in a desert city will definitely not be the same price.

  Most of the materials in the solar system are shipped from outside. Even with the current advanced technology, there is still a high cost.

   Sending it to other galaxies can reduce the cost of the same welfare treatment.

  Everything must be compromised for the benefit of the empire.

  Fairness and inequality coexist in the empire, which is a kind of unspoken rule.

  The more intelligent, the greater the contribution to humanity, and the more privileged the person who bears more responsibility.

  Don't think that a high-ranking general is equal to a civilian who enjoys the welfare of the empire.

   The empire's promotion system requires absolute openness and transparency.

   Any region, any citizen without a bad record can join the bureaucracy and military system of the empire.

  The only thing that limits them is their ability.

  Any attempt to promote by means other than ability will be regarded as a crime of betrayal of humanity, which belongs to the highest level of punishment.

   is handled by the Imperial Inquisitor.

  Once it is confirmed that there is any fraudulent behavior, the end is either a punishment camp, or the lobotomy is used as a slave labor.

  This impersonal system keeps the empire stable.

  If you have enough ability, then you will be successful.

   Insufficient ability, no one can blame.

  Under such a system, those who can come to Terra and participate in the work are basically the real elites, not just the second generation.

  The efficiency of action is naturally far from being comparable to those departments composed of incompetent officials.

  Even if they organize a massive expedition, these officials can handle it with ease.

   Most of the members of the Exorcist Chapter assembled on their Celestial-class battleship-the Eternal Contempt.

  Chapter Master Enoch returned to the solar system from the edge of the galaxy after receiving orders from Terra.

  Besides these, other Chapters have also returned to join the expedition.

   "Another expedition." Pluto, the think tank of the battle group, stood beside Enoch, looking at the vast sea of ​​stars.

   Countless warships are mooring at the void port without maneuvering.

  Their power stacks are kept to a minimum.

   Just to ensure the energy needs of the ecosystem.

  Like a sleeping monster, crouching in the void, waiting to be awakened.

"In today's general situation, expeditions appear every day. There are as many heroes as there are stars in the sky, and it is difficult to remember all the names. I hope this is an important battle. The Exorcists and others Compared with the Brothers, they are a little unknown." Enoch said with a slightly regretful tone in his heavy armor.

   This is the most glorious era, every moment there are heroes rising, gaining fame and honor on the battlefield.

  Leave their names and statues in Terra's Heroes' Square.

   Enoch was eager for that too.

   The Exorcist Chapter has participated in quite a few battles so far, but their achievements are not enough compared to other chapters.

  Their current main task is still to defend the galaxy and solve the subspace invasion incidents on some planets with weak barriers.

  In the past, being able to repel a subspace invasion would definitely be something worth publicizing and remembering.

   But now, repelling the Inanimate from the Warp isn't even worthy of the Empire's attention.

  The Invasion of the Living Ones has been defined by the bureaucrats of the empire as a trivial matter at the level of the previous hive rebellion.

   It is too difficult for the Exorcist Chapter to obtain the qualification to enter Terra Heroes Square by virtue of strangling and invading the real universe.

   "At the military meeting a few days ago, didn't they reveal our mission this time?" Pluto asked.

Enoch shook his head, "They also expressed that they were not clear about this, they just asked the soldiers to train according to the order of the Holy Emperor. The Holy Emperor did not intend to reveal the destination of this trip, I just hope that this is a Great battle."

   Having said that, Enoch clenched his fists.

   "If there is a big war, the Exorcist Chapter will definitely seize any opportunity to gain merit, so that there will be a statue of ourselves on Terra's Hero Square. Even if it costs my life, I will not hesitate."

   "Is that really good! Sacrifice yourself for a reputation." Pluto was somewhat incomprehensible to the fanaticism of the chapter leader.

"If there is nothing and you are so unknown, then what is the meaning of living? Many war groups are fighting hard, can the Exorcist war group be worse than them?" Enoch whispered: "More What's more, it is our duty to sacrifice for the Holy Emperor and mankind. Death will eventually come to everyone. It is nothing more than the difference between earlier and later. Why don't you let your life burn as much as you want? ?”

  Pluto shook his head.

"Let's not talk about the building of sculptures in Terra. Judging from the scale of this gathering, it must be a big battle. The Holy Emperor recalled many soldiers who had sacrificed. According to some rumors, they are likely to Participate in this meeting."

   "If it's really a big battle, it's the best. The Exorcist Chapter is no worse than those heroes who have passed away and returned."

  Enoch looked at the bright star sea and the countless imperial warships, his eyes showed firmness.

   The Exorcist Chapter will surely leave a statue in Terra's Hero's Square.

   Not just the Exorcists.

   This idea is on the minds of many warbands.

  The empire is getting bigger and bigger.

  The fruits of victory are getting bigger and bigger.

  If they don't work hard, they will really be forgotten.

  Tulsa was transported from the biological laboratory and sent to the recovery hospital.

  What he saw made him dumbfounded.

  Those who had been clearly sacrificed before him were alive again before him.

   Some of the companions who stayed on the battleship Sisifum at the beginning have all recovered.

  The tests they endured were different, but in the end they all got flesh and returned to the real universe.

   "Never thought that we would meet again." Brantan, the former captain of the Sisylphum, stood beside the bed in Tulsa and whispered.

  Sarokin, Wieland, Numen and others also stood beside them.

  They returned a little earlier than Talanza, and now they have passed the most difficult recovery period, and they can leave the recovery hospital with only a final evaluation.

  The Sisylphum is an attack cruiser belonging to the Iron Hands Legion, highly refitted with a black stealth hull that does not reflect any radiation.

   Played a vital role in the outbreak of the Horus Heresy.

   Many Loyalist soldiers were evacuated from the landmark of Istvan 5.

  The survivors also used this cruiser fleet to conduct guerrilla warfare against the rebels, destroying the enemy's logistical routes, and looting naval ships that betrayed the empire.

   They even plotted to assassinate the Primarch.

  Unfortunately, it failed.

   This ship also participated in the Solar War until it was scarred and was finally thrown above the solar system's astrolabe by the warp turbulence.

  The final outcome is that in order to protect the original mother, Wieland let Sharojin hide behind an abandoned coaling station, drove the warship into the void, and lured away all the enemies.

  Tulsa didn't know what happened after his sacrifice.

   Sha Luojin and others told him.

  After experiencing so much, now that they can meet again, each of them is so excited that it is difficult to calm down.

"Recover as soon as possible, then we can fight side by side again." Numen said: "Don't worry about the fact that we belong to different legions. The previous legion organization has been disrupted. We returnees can only choose new ones." Warband, or form a warband yourself, Terra will assist us."

   "The legion organization has been broken up? Can we only join new combat teams?" Tulsa looked confused. He had just woken up not long ago, and he didn't know much about the changes in the empire.

   "Yes, I will tell you the details after you are discharged from the hospital."

  The restructuring of the legion is not something that can be explained clearly in a few words.

   We need to start with the siege of Terra and the division and army building led by Guilliman after he became the regency of the empire to explain this clearly.

   For several days, Sha Luojin and others were communicating with Tulsa about the current situation of the empire.

   Hearing that most of them are named and surnamed, many fighters from the 30k Horus Rebellion have returned and have been received by the Holy Emperor.

  He was also shocked.

  What Prime Minister Macado said was not a lie.

   An unprecedented war will break out.

   These people are all coming back to fulfill unfinished missions.

   That's not the most shocking thing about Tulsa.

   His eyes widened when he heard that most of the traitors had been captured and sent to Terra's Astronomical Atonement.

"Angron, Fulgrim, and Lorgar have all been captured. They thought they could rest easy by taking refuge in the gods, but they underestimated the power and determination of the Holy Emperor. Those guys are now in various souls. tortured to pay for their past sins."

"I heard that Lorgar, who lured the other Primarchs to fall, has been tortured to the point of insanity. He has always wanted the returning warriors to admit that he wrote the Holy Word, but no one supported his statement, which made him suffer a lot. Blow, now it's a bit stupid."

  Tulsa felt like it was all a dream.

   Is the gods weaving, to deceive his vision,

  This illusion is so real that there is no flaw in it.

  But those deeds are still too unbelievable,

  If he hadn't been able to stand up and walk, he went to the balcony to see the magnificent Astronomical Torch building, and he couldn't believe that all of this was real.

   During the recovery process, he was shocked again and again.

   Sigh at the achievements of the empire today.

  When he just thought he could adapt to this era of frequent miracles, Sharokin and others always brought stories that made him dumbfounded again.

  When he recovered and was able to leave the hospital.

  An unexpected piece of news came to him, and the nerves that thought they could bear all this after the baptism of these few days became unimaginably excited again, leaving him dumbfounded and trembling with excitement.

  Just after he was discharged from the hospital, he saw Vulkan, who was appointed as the head of the expeditionary force, appear on the Imperial Daily.

  The streets and alleys are the projection of this Primarch.

   "Is this true?" Tulsa's voice was a little trembling, "The Fire Dragon Lord has also returned?"

   "Yes, we have never dared to tell you this, just because we were afraid that you would be too excited." Sharokin said.

   "My God." Tulsa said tears streaming down his face, his words trembling uncontrollably.

  When the moon died in battle, he knew the last news about the Fire Dragon Lord, that is, Vulcan's body was sent back to Nocturne.

  Vulkan is now reappearing again, just like during the Great Expedition, leading an army of unimaginable scale, preparing to launch an expedition.

   "I have to see him." Tulsa whispered. "Sorry, I can't fight with you. He needs his own son."

   "I don't suggest you do that." Sharokin said: "The Primarch is no longer the former Lord of Legion."
