Chapter 202: The Emperor's Dream
Solar Star Field.
The capital planet of the Empire - Terra.
A mighty Imperial fleet has assembled over the human home planet.
After so long of the Empire's all-out war with the orcs, it's time to put an end to it.
It was one of the most glorious deeds in the history of mankind, and only a great leader as charismatic and uncompromising as Sivir could have devised such a grand strategy.
A mighty fleet has set out from Terra and will sweep away all enemies that stand in its way.
Countless priests and officials who have been used to consolidate the rule of the Empire are ready to spread Sivir's great exploits and the Empire's state religion throughout the ignorant and fearful galaxy.
After a grand and solemn ceremony, Sivir boarded a warship and sailed into the stars under the adoring gaze of countless people of the Empire.
That's right, this expedition will be led by Sivir himself, and the regent of the empire himself will personally fight at the forefront of this campaign.
It would be a historic step for humanity, and Sivir would not allow himself to sit within the walls of safety and wait.
And this fleet can only be led by Sivir.
Because this fleet, destined to leave a strong mark in the history of the empire, its flagship is called:
The Emperor's Dream.
In today's empire, only Sivir is qualified to use this battleship as his own car, and it is only because of the name that it was once the emperor's special warship.
The empire of the Great Expedition undoubtedly represents the golden age of empires. Technology was prosperous and armed, and the Emperor's vehicle, the Imperial Dream, was naturally one of the top warships of the time.
But in the unprecedented rebellion of Horus, the messenger who once belonged to the Lord of Mankind and brought inspiration to the galaxy turned into a ball of fire and crashed into the traitors' warships.
In an instant, white light filled the universe, engulfing the original darkness and starlight. Then it turned gold, and then it turned the crimson of vaporized metal.
And so, in the sky above Terra, where the behemoth ship was born, its fate was drawn to an end.
That's right, Imperial Dreaming wasn't born on Mars, but on Terra.
It was the ore of Terra and the steel of the conquered cities that forged the skeleton and woven it into the skin, making it a giant born of the Void and made of gold and marble.
However, in the time that followed, the Empire's science and technology were completely controlled by the Mechanism, and then a series of technological losses and regressions occurred, causing the Empire to lose the technology and ability to build such giant ships.
This kind of thing happens as a matter of course, after all, in a system like Mechanism, where knowledge determines status, the more knowledge you have, the higher status and power you can gain, and there is no obvious benefit from sharing knowledge.
Therefore, it is only possible for the technical priests to share their knowledge when they deem it necessary, otherwise they would rather provide services themselves than share their knowledge with others.
And this secrecy is even more serious between the different churches of the Mechanical, not to mention the fact that there is almost no possibility of a single exchange of knowledge between the rival forging worlds.
Even friendly casting worlds rarely communicate with each other, after all, knowledge is power, and it would be foolish to share power with others casually.
More than one kind of technology once possessed by the Empire has disappeared under the cover and cover of the Mechanics, and the Emperor's Dream is just one of them.
But suddenly, one day, an imperial construction expert had a flash of inspiration, and he recreated a blueprint for the Imperial Dream.
Thus, this legendary battleship was once again built by the Empire.
As a unique golden giant, the Imperial Dream resembles a golden palace, but even battleships dwarf it in terms of size and firepower.
However, the Imperial Dream is still smaller than the Mountain Formation, and is a sister in terms of mass and size to the Glorious Queen-class battleships used by loyalists and traitors, and is close to the Titan-class battleships of the current Empire.
Even with the current level of technology in the Empire, the Emperor Dream is still an extremely powerful warship.
The advanced technology contained in this ship is an inspiration even for today's Imperial researchers.
While the once traitorous fleet of treacherous faux smeared Terra, the Emperor's Dream was still able to wipe out its tracks through its advanced technology, hiding its tracks in the dark radiation background of the universe and stealthily approaching Terra.
Moreover, most of the ship's functions have been automated, requiring only a small number of personnel to operate, the engine room is silent, and the automatic procedures that control the various systems operate stably even in the face of fire from the sky. Even without the control of a human crew, the Emperor's weapons are deadly and accurate.
At the same time, the ship's weapons are quite terrifying, and the cannon installed on it has put an end to many civilizations and razed countless empires.
The guns lined up on the keel fired Nova shells, each the size of a Battle Titan. After the current technological transformation of the Empire, the shells are also loaded with time-delay antimatter reactors, deflagration storm accelerators, and antimatter warheads. Every shell is a squadron killer.
Normally, a line battleship can only carry one array of weapons and fire with difficulty at an irregular rate of fire, but the Emperor Dream can complete the attack of ten arrays of weapons at a time in a heartbeat.
A single salvo can destroy several traitorous heavy cruisers and reduce hordes of frigates to ashes.
This firepower output is even more powerful than the Empire's latest Titan-class battleship, after all, a large part of the size of a Titan is occupied by its main cannon, and the vast size of the Imperial Dream is equipped with a large array of weapons.
In addition to being the Emperor's car, the Emperor's Dream traveled to Ulanor and participated in the war between the Empire and the Orcs during the Great Expedition.
At this time, Sivir chose to pilot the Empire's newly built Imperial Dream to end the war between the Empire and the Orcs, which is of extraordinary significance to the Empire.
Following in the footsteps of the Imperial Dream, the Empire's elite fleet sailed to a certain area in the galaxy.
...
...
The Hardix Space Anomaly, known as the "Red Hole", is a galactic anomaly of unknown origin, located in the extreme star field, on the eastern edge of the Milky Way.
It is suspected that it may be conscious, as it is constantly spewing time from other dimensions into the southern spiral arm of the galaxy, distorting any control or reconnaissance of its existence.
On the periphery of Hardix, countless ghost ships are dotted, all trapped in a kind of time stagnation field.
The area is located at the edge of the galaxy, and this eerie environment means that the Empire has never sent a fleet into it to search for orcs.
But at this time, Sivir was very sure that the beast-level orc was among them.
Despite the danger of the area, the Empire currently has a deep understanding of time and space, and the Empire's scientists are able to build a simple time device for the Empire's fleet to counteract the effects of this area.
So in the Imperial dockyard near this area, Sivir ordered the engineers and scientific experts in the fleet to install such a device for the Imperial warships as soon as possible.
Reaching the eastern edge of the galaxy from Terra had already taken a great deal of time on the road. Now that the enemy is in sight, the entire fleet can't wait for a glorious battle.
When everything was ready, the Imperial fleet, led by the Imperial Dream, entered the anomalous area.
And here, the Empire encountered the largest orc fleet ever built.
I don't know if it's because of the orcs' amazing technology, or their magical aaagh stance, they are able to go about their activities here without being affected by the chaos of time.
And the shipwrecked ships accumulated over the years in this area have become the best ship materials for the orcs.
With a few simple, orc-style modifications and repairs, these ships were transformed into the humble but deadly assault warships of the orc fleet.
And the orcs also used these materials to build a large number of battle moons here, and countless orcs carried out on them
All kinds of work.
After seeing these terrifying number of beasts, Sivir finally knew why there were so many orcs in the realm of the Empire.
However, even in the face of an orc fleet of this size, under the leadership of the Imperial Dream, no Imperial soldier had the slightest idea of backing down.
Under the leadership of the Son, we are invincible!
The Golden Throne is calling us to the battle, and forward—forward!
Until the enemies of humanity are slaughtered, there will be no peace among the stars!
Destruction, commotion, magnificent scenes of fire, flickering laser weapons, dense roar of weapon arrays, thumping anti-aircraft guns.
Under the command of Sivir, countless Imperial soldiers fought bravely, and the orcs gradually collapsed.
Of course, this is also indispensable with the blessing of imperial technology.
The orcs wisely chose this area as their home base, so that the Empire did not discover them for so long.
And the shipwrecked here provided them with a large amount of construction materials, allowing them to increase their fleet strength at a rapid pace.
If they continue to accumulate strength, by the time they rush out, they will definitely cause a lot of damage to the Empire.
The anomalous environment in this area protects them well, but unfortunately the empire is the first in the world!
Just a little time, you can't stop the footsteps of the Imperial fleet.
And time can also be used by the Empire.
The Empire's scientists and researchers' research on time not only protects the Empire's fleet from the environment, but also allows the Empire's fleet to use the chaotic time in this region to achieve many tactical purposes.
The Empire currently has the technology to stop time, and it is not impossible for the Empire to have time stand still in an area through a device called the Sigma Coordinator.
However, it takes a lot of energy to stop time, but in this chaotic area, the Empire's research has found that the energy consumed to manipulate time is greatly reduced.
And the empire can use the method of four or two thousand pounds, just relying on a little energy consumption, to achieve its own goals.
This area chosen by the orcs has become a very favorable battlefield environment for the empire.
Under the attack of the Imperial fleet, the only remaining fleet of the orcs finally crash-landed, or crashed onto a planet.
And Sivir led a large number of space marines, landing in the Storm Bird Transport Ship, sparing no remnant of the orcs.
Countless drop pods, landing craft, stormbirds, and thunderhawks whistled away from the hangars of their respective strike cruisers and battle flagships, whistling toward the surface of the planet beneath their feet.
Sivir himself piloted his own Stormbird from the deck of the Imperial Dream and used this stunningly shaped yet terrifying vehicle to plunge into the heart of the planet's orc remnants.
In battle, the storm bird piloted by Sivir is like a real flamboyant bird, which rises directly into the sky for a while, and swoops down quickly for a while.
At the same time, the mech's body emits colorful plasma swirls in its trajectory, looking like a brilliant comet entangled in twin tails of flames from a distance.
And this Storm Bird, which is Siwell's exclusive car, is not only beautiful in appearance, but also very strong in actual combat, and can easily survive explosions and fire barrages.
Sivir led a landed Space Marine force, aided by various Imperial gunboat planes and Rand Attack Boats, broke through the Orc's defenses, successfully forming an extremely attacking team within the Orcs.
They formed a wedge formation to launch a counterattack against the orcs, and the Space Marines, wielding a variety of powerful weapons, crushed the orc infantry and vehicles that were fleeing or were injured or blown up by shells.
Space Marines continue to suppress orc charges with salvos from blast guns, or tackle trickier heavy orc bosses and kill canister mechs with the blazing waves of the melt guns and small flare bursts of plasma guns.
And behind them, the Destroyer squad of the Space Marines
Use fragmentation missiles and heavy blasts to sweep rows of orcs down to green debris.
Laser cannons, plasma cannons, and multi-barrel hot melt guns aim at the noisy orc tanks and walking mechs, turning them into flaming scrap metal.
The high-explosive ammunition of the cannon and the lethal energy of the thermal cannon weave the web of death, and those who have narrowly escaped the long-range strikes of the Imperial forces soon find that the Imperial Space Marines and high-speed spinning chainsaws await them.
And the Empire's anti-gravity motorcycle forces and gunboat machines have blocked the orcs' other retreats.
Sivir led the soldiers of the Empire to lay a carpet of green-skinned bones and vehicle remains on the planet.
And under the guidance of psionic powers, an orc the size of a small titan appeared in front of Sivir.
Sivir, who was huge, looked like a dwarf in front of him.
"Sivir, the regent of the race."
A fluent High Gothic language emanates from the mouth of this huge orc.
Although his gaze was as tyrannical as that of other orcs, he also possessed a cunning intelligence that few other orcs possessed.
