062 Horror of Darkness
Mirak patiently tried to learn from old Geller the cause and effect of his betrayal, but in vain.
Strong mood swings and some unpredictable chaotic influences made old Geller seem to be in a state of mental disorder, unable to react to Milak's problems at all. He just knelt on the ground facing the emperor's icon, repeating: "The empire has betrayed me... I betrayed the Empire ......"
"I need to read his memory." Dimitri came up to Milak and said, "Excuse me. ”
Mirak shook his head and said nothing more.
Dimitri was not asking for his opinion, but only announcing his next actions in advance, no matter what personal feelings the soldiers of the Confessional Fire Warband had for old Geller, they could not be shaken in the slightest in such a tense battle, and Milak was not shaken by this selfishness.
Powerful psionics can directly read the mental activity of ordinary mortals and some subconscious thoughts, while old Geller is also a psyker, Dimitri's means of reading his memories are even more brutal. To put it bluntly: old Geller's brain would collapse due to Dimitri's forced access, and the information he wanted would be shattered, but it was already the most efficient method, and he had to.
Under Milak's silent gaze, Dimitri grasped the old Geller's head with his hands.
After a moment, he raised his hand, and old Geller's body fell to the ground.
"Someone has leaked the existence of the L-Gate and its true purpose, but the identity of that person is unknown."
Dimitri's voice sounded directly from Milak's heart through psionic energy: "The navigators who know that the L-Stargate Project are all in danger, and they fear that they will not be able to leave a place in the empire free from the constraints of subspace, and this twisted psychology of gain and loss has finally allowed Chaos to find an opportunity. ”
As he spoke, Dimitri glanced at old Geller, who had collapsed to the ground, his body twitching slightly. Fooled by the slanderous words of the Tzeentch Demon, he naively thought that he would be able to retain his former position if he indulged Chaos once and let them destroy the Stargate.
He even thought that he had not betrayed the Empire, that he was still a loyal servant of the Emperor, and that it was his lifelong wish to burn all his life to assist in the expeditions of the warbands and the enemies of the Empire......
"Stupid." Dimitri disdainfully spat on the betrayal of old Geller and the other navigators.
For such absurd reasons, the Navigators hid the traitors who had fallen into chaos in the Imperial fleet, and single-handedly contributed to the internal chaos that would have devastated the vitality of Falla's Imperial navy, and cost the lives of countless loyalists.
Even the Emperor's icon was almost destroyed.
They didn't even know what the L-Star Gate was really capable of, and that the Prophetess-led Council had no intention of completely abandoning traditional subspace navigation......
"The people who leaked this information to them deliberately concealed the council's reservation of traditional subspace navigation, and only gave the navigators incomplete information, leading them to believe that they were about to be abandoned altogether...... This deception does not use a single lie, it is only an incomplete truth. Is this also the handiwork of Tzeentch believers? ”
Dimitri didn't think much about it, he directly showed all the memory fragments he had read to Milak, and then dropped the sentence: "You decide for yourself whether you want your fighters to know this." He walked briskly out of the door to the command room.
Time is tight, and he must now join up with his team to clear out the remnants of the Children of Change hiding in the ship.
Milak was stunned for a few seconds, then put the helmet back on his head without saying a word, and turned to leave with the power sword in one hand: "Let's go, there is still a tough battle to be fought next." ”
In old Geller's memory, he saw a terrifying future: the arrival of a massive Chaos fleet that emerged from the turbulent subspace to inflict a heavy blow on the Imperial Navy, which had not yet recovered from civil strife.
In the face of Chaos' overwhelming military power, Falla will fall, and the Empire will completely lose this barren world on the border.
The warriors of the Flame of Repentance were worried and ready for battle, but what they did not know was that the present situation was much more optimistic than the old Geller had thought.
Because according to the original plan of the Children of Change, with the powerful firepower of the Seeker Star Base, the current Flame of Confession has either been sunk or fallen into their hands.
After the loss of the two core combat units of the stellar base and the fleet flagship, as well as the entire Confessional Fire wargroup, the Imperial fleet, whose morale has completely collapsed and the command system is completely chaotic, will truly become a fish on the case of chaos.
Now it's clearly not.
Although it is unknown how the servants and cathars who stayed on the star base held the Seeker under the attack of Chaos Astarte led by the Immutable Gods, they did it anyway, and this is the biggest variable in this war.
Inside the ship, the Grey Knights once again locked on to the remnants of the Son of Change with their keen psionic sense.
This time, with no one to help them with teleportation spells, Dimitri used his power spear to cut off the head of the "Eternal Servant" and raise it above his head, declaring his victory amid the passionate battle cries of countless mortal auxiliaries.
After clearing the hull with great efficiency, the Flame of Repentance was able to restore communication with all the ships under its command.
Ordered by Mirak himself, the Flame of Repentance used its powerful firepower to completely destroy several large ships that had been corrupted by the Children of Change, and were irretrievable. At this time, they can no longer care about losses, they must use any method to stabilize the situation with the highest efficiency at all costs, and gather forces to face the next main offensive of Chaos.
But as it turns out, chaos doesn't always give people enough time to breathe and prepare.
Before Milak could assemble the scarred remnants of the warship after the civil strife and lay a defense against Mandeville in the Fallas system, the psionic probe on board the battleship had already sensed the subspace fluctuations coming from the outer part of the galaxy.
The chaos that spreads across the starry sky tears the curtain between reality and illusion, and warships entangled in evil forces and growing blasphemous flesh emerge from the turbulence of subspace. The Chaos Behemoths that grew alongside the battleship struggled to emerge, and the hungry herds roared in the outer airspace of the Fallas Galaxy, smirking and letting out a sinister sound that struck the heart, roaring and rushing towards the L-Star Gate, which was in the hands of the Emperor Icon and was being repaired to the last minute.
