056 Uneasy
While the Imperial fleet was thrown into disarray by the invasion of the Children of Change, attacking each other friend or foe, the two Mechanic Forge ships anchored near the head of the Emperor Icon stabilized their hulls from the massive blast.
For some reason, they weren't invaded by the Chaos Traitors like the chaotic Imperial fleet, but only with a slight bruise on the ship's surface armor.
Sensing the chaos behind them, the technocrats on the foundry also fell into a brief moment of astonishment and panic, but soon, the technocrats present finally stabilized the situation along with the hull.
He observed the situation for a short time, and then made the most correct decision: ignore all the unrest that was taking place behind him and complete the assembly of the stargate at full speed.
The assembly of the L-Gate was already in the final stages, and only the final commissioning and pumping energy were needed for the first Stargate route to be put into use.
Although the miraculous turn of the Emperor Icon saved the L-Stargate, the mechanical structure scattered by the explosion of the skull still caused some minor damage to the L-Stargate, which had not yet been built and had no shield system installed.
But fortunately, the far-sighted Bulletist had already considered some unexpected situations to occur, and the mechanic at this time had plenty of spare parts to replace.
Next, as long as the stargate is assembled and activated in the shortest possible time, Falla will be able to directly obtain contact and support with the core galaxy Nirvana.
"There is no room for ......error in this matter," the Techno-Sage whispered, emphasizing his centipede-like deformed and twisted body from his seat, each arm taking a different device, and gurgling towards the door.
This high-powered technical sage is going to turn the screws himself.
On the other side of the Emperor's icon, the chaos continues.
After being caught off guard and scattered, the Imperial fleet finally discovered the fact that the Chaos forces of this invasion were actually not many. The squad-based Chaos Astartes are constantly performing various desecration rituals on large warships, summoning demons, interfering with machine spirits, corrupting officers, and creating large-scale turmoil far from their actual strength by various means.
And countless small naval warships were either directly sunk by the big ships they followed, or they were torn apart by demons and jumped in the face of reality.
Upon learning of this information, Dimitri and his team of Grey Knights, who were on standby aboard the Black Ship of the Inquisition, immediately began to prepare for action.
Banishing demons and sweeping away chaos is what they specialize in. Dimitri did not follow the prophetess out of Fallas and returned to Nirvana in order to face this moment.
The primary target now is the battleship Flame of Repentance, which opened fire on the Imperial Icon.
Whether it was emotional or logical, official or personal, Dimitri did not believe that the Flame of Repentance would betray the Emperor, especially that Milak or commit such a blasphemous act. And the strategic importance of large battleships also gave him the legitimacy to go and solve his doubts.
So, the Grey Knight squad began to make their way through the chaotic sea of ships to the Flame of Repentance.
However, the Chaos Warband's attack on Falla's garrison fleet was all-encompassing.
Well, of course, the Seeker star base at the heart of the galaxy was not missed.
The space station, which had made outstanding contributions to the Falla Orc War, had undergone a decade-long expansion and reorganization by the Mechanics, and even if the construction was still not completed, the half of the wreckage still under construction already had a powerful output comparable to that of the Flame of Repentance, as well as a more comprehensive firepower coverage capability.
The Children of Change made the Stellar Base of the Seeker a secondary target for the operation, second only to the main force of the warband that invaded the battleship Flame of Repentance, but when the Emperor's Icon was headshot and the Imperial fleet was plunged into a chaotic slaughter, their actions against the Seeker did not have the desired effect.
The Tzeentch Chaos traitors sensed something was wrong at the very beginning of their infiltration of the Seeker's star base, and a sense of crisis and unease haunted them, but they couldn't find a reason.
The Children of Change are changeable warbands who love the sense of control and domination of all information and possibilities in their hands, and this deadly pleasure brings them closer to the omniscient gods.
But this time, no matter how they divined and deduced, they could never find where the strange sense of crisis came from, and this unknown and helplessness made them irritable.
When Tzeentch's blessed main force attacked the Flame of Repentance, the children of change lurking aboard the Seeker also hardened their helmets and launched a surprise attack on the Seeker as originally planned.
It was true that the initial situation was in the rehearsal they had planned, and the plan of the base structure provided by U Ying allowed them to make a rapid march to the central control room of the Seeker without any success in the short period of success.
These renegades who betrayed the empire Astarte have committed themselves to Chaos for thousands of years, and they have long been accustomed to the influence of subspace, and some of them have even survived from it. As they marched inside the Seeker, the Children of Changeling were horrified to find that their connection to the subspace became weaker with each step they took closer to the central control room.
Even the ability to see through all falsehoods and lies, which he had been blessed with by Tzeentch, became more and more obscure in the process.
For Chaos Astarte, this is a terrifying thing.
And for the Children of Change, perhaps they should also be glad that the Chaos God they believe in is Tzeentch, not Nurgle.
- The bodies of the Nurgle cultists are highly mutated and assimilated by the evil powers of Chaos, and their original body organs have long since died, relying only on the power of the subspace to eliminate their pain and maintain their existence.
If this kind of Chaos Astarte encounters a situation like theirs, the connection with the subspace will become weaker and weaker, and his body will become weaker and weaker. As for the connection with the subspace after being completely cut off, I am afraid that I will die on the spot.
Fortunately, the Children of All Kinds have not yet reached that level, and they are highly alert after the abnormality. A child of all kinds subconsciously wants to use witchcraft to summon a demon and let this weak subspace creature enter the main control room first and find its way.
But less than a second later, he suddenly realized that in this strange place, he was no longer able to perform subspace sorcery......
It turns out that unconsciously, their dependence on Tzeentch has become so deep.
