231 The second pit
In Benhardt Medius's vision, it would take at least a few years for the Order of Mechanics to complete the construction of the L-Stargate before he could get his hands on the battleship through the connected Stargate network.
But the actual situation is that as soon as the order was signed, the front foot of the first pair of Chaos Defense Line located in the gravel belt was about to collapse, and hundreds of combat ships on the back foot smashed into the face in full armor.
Without warning or warning, the Marbles delivered 512 warships to the doorstep of the Krenttarina system.
In normal times, such a terrifying force projection capability would have sent chills down the back for any Imperial official with even a modicum of military knowledge, but for now, Benhardt Medius didn't have time to delve into it.
The collapse of the defense line of the gravel belt was imminent, and it was too late to explain the hurry to get on board.
Governor Benhardt used his prestige to suppress all dissent, and a large number of planetary defense forces remaining in Krentalina's orbit were mobilized, and all personnel with experience in piloting ships were forcibly recruited.
These include: Ronin traders who haven't had time to escape from Krenna, wandering navigators who are not officially recognized by the Empire, bounty hunters who hunt down the Dark Spirits, and intergalactic criminals who roam the streets...... Without any selection and assessment, a large number of people were stuffed into ships and sent to the front.
The "......" inverse entropy felt that Governor Benhardt's ill rush to the hospital was very abstract, but the customer had the right to dispose of the goods he bought, and he had no position to interfere.
What's more, it was not this group of idlers who really took over the command of the battleship, but the high-ranking priests, inquisitors, and graduates of the Naval Non-commissioned Officer Academy of the Mechanic Order who really presided over the overall situation. With these people pressed on it, the potential safety hazards of unscrupulous employment can naturally be controlled.
The major colonial worlds of the Human Empire can be said to be the best in terms of human resources and talent reserves, not to mention that there are only 512 warships, even if this number is increased tenfold, the Krenna Sector can build a complete management and command system for these warships in a very short time.
The Far Eastern Star Domain is a ship waiting for people, the Human Empire is a ship waiting for people, and many imperial admirals have never seen a battleship in their lives.
With the active cooperation of the battleship AI, the crew members who were temporarily deployed soon became familiar with the basic operating procedures of these new ships, and immediately set off for the outer front line in the southern part of the gravel belt after a little rearmament.
But at this time, over the Asteroid 1 base, the flagship of the Krenna Defense Force, the Silesian Wind, had been sunk.
It takes time to gather men, it takes time to get familiar with the structure of the battleship, it takes time to test the command system, and the short period of time it takes for reinforcements to prepare for the front line is enough for the subspace fluctuating cannons mounted on the Pride of the Emperor to smash all the enemies in front of it.
"It seems that the Asteroid 1 base will not be saved." Russell closed his eyes and listened to the cacophony of the ruined hull of the Silesian Wind, and the psionic energy around him rippled like water waves.
After some trying, Russell gave up.
"The teleportation spell has been blocked, and at least one of the four gods is holding me back in the subspace, and the corresponding sea of souls in this area is locked by the power of chaos."
Mo said that his teleportation spell even the subspace engines in the bodies of the surrounding ships had failed, and he could not urgently leave the battlefield.
It seems that Slaanesh is determined to win the lion king...... Russell sighed lightly and glanced coldly at the four-armed beautiful snake in front of him.
"Frankly, you are the first creature I have ever met who has 'love' for me, although this directional emotion called love is only a factory setting left over from when Slaanesh created you, and is one of the aids used to interfere with my judgment.
…… But I have to say that he succeeded, because you, I can't go back to the Rock Fortress now, and I can't stop Saneane and Tzeentch from doing next. ”
Russell said, walked quickly to the side of the lover Luphanas, held up the round jaw that was constantly dripping tears and blood with one hand, and looked at her beautiful face covered with tears: "You have perfectly completed the mission of your birth, so you can die." ”
He gently brushed the lips of his lover Luphanas with the thumb of his right hand, and probed this finger into her mouth, and the gravitational pull of the Void in the Supreme Heaven acted directly into the demon's body, and it only took a few moments to empty it into nothingness.
It's just that Lupanath, the lover of love, looks at him puzzled, 1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds......
Five seconds passed, and the blood and tears on Lupanath's face were still flowing, without the slightest sign of being hollowed out into essence.
But Russell clearly knew that she had drained a huge amount of spiritual energy from the body of this serpentine demon, and she should have died a long time ago.
"I seem to have been in this situation before?"
It was when he had just arrived in this universe and had first landed on the orc battle moon......
A ridiculous thought crossed Russell's mind, and he vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
"With my current ability, it only takes one breath to drain a Chaos Demon, the only exceptions are Bao who was polluted by his loving father and became a demon, and then there is the current lover Ruphanas."
At the beginning, an illusory umbilical cord connected Bao to his loving father Nurgle himself, so that Russell's attempt to drain the essence to kill Bao with a hollow failed, and the loving father continuously transmitted energy to Bao through the umbilical cord, as long as Nurgle himself did not die, the umbilical cord continued, and Bao, who had been promoted to a demon, was immortal and immortal.
“…… Bao is a gentle race that symbolizes life, and it is not surprising that he is so favored by a loving father.
But why is Luphanas, the lover? She's just a bait created by Slaanesh to attract my attention, a victim who has been discarded. Lupanas didn't resist my attempt to kill her, not even the slightest thought of struggling...... Such a tame demon, how can He De get the same treatment as Bao? ”
Russell's thinking has no answer.
For now, he had other ways to kill Lupanath, just like he did when he killed Bao, just cut the umbilical cord between the Great Demon and the evil god behind him. But the Wattaum Reality Perforator, which was able to modify reality and do so, was still in Colonia's possession, not with him.
"Do you want to bring her back to the Far East Star Domain and kill her? …… No, this may ...... It's not possible, it's certain. This must be Tzeentch's conspiracy! ”
Letting go of the big demon who can't be killed is undoubtedly letting the tiger go back to the mountain; But bringing her back to the Far Eastern Star Domain is suspected of falling for Tzeentch's calculations.
Looking at Lupa Nas, who was looking at him deeply with teary eyes, Russell only felt extremely tricky.
Suddenly, the mountain shook, the deck under his feet shook violently, and the hull of the Silesian Wind had broken in two, and the front half of the bridge was parting ways with the second half of the hull where the subspace engine was located.
The steel platform beneath his feet creaked and let out a piercing moan that was about to break, as if urging something.
Russell looked up at the Emperor's Pride in the distance, which was brewing the next subspace fluctuation cannon, and then looked down at the lover Ruppanas, who was slumped on the ground and crying, and felt as if he was about to fall into a pit that some Tzeentch had dug for him.
Did you just avoid a bad ending with the power of the Time Worm, but you turned around and stepped into another bad ending?
"It's so aggrieved......" Russell snorted.
