442 Just as it was then

On this day, the High Lord of Terra was surprised to find that the forbidden army, who had been living in the palace and did not care about the world, suddenly began to act.

High-speed strike ships took off from the palace, and the newly built Terra Stargate was forcibly requisitioned, and in addition to the necessary manpower left behind to guard the gap between the Golden Throne and the network, the Imperial Forbidden Army dispatched almost all the forces they could muster, and hurriedly embarked on the expedition.

The scale of the actions of these golden-armored warriors was so great that even the ongoing Unyielding Expedition was affected to some extent, but the Forbidden Marshal did not give any explanation for this.

The actions of the forbidden army did not need to be reported to anyone, they were only responsible to the emperor.

As a result, rumors have gradually spread on Terra, some believe that the Praetorian Army has received orders from the Lord of Humanity himself and is conducting a sacred expedition for the sake of the Emperor, while others feel that the Forbidden Army's departure from Holy Terra on such a large scale is irresponsible for the safety of the people, and contrary to its duty to guard the palace and protect the Emperor.

In particular, the new generation of high lords, who are in danger under the tough hand of the imperial regent Robert Killman, are even more controversial about the departure of the forbidden army.

Russell saw all this in his eyes and couldn't help but be curious.

"Gray Wind, where do you think these forbidden troops are going to leave the palace in a hurry?" Russell asked.

Greywind has supreme control over the L-Gate network, and even the Terra Stargate, which Belisarius Kaul built in collaboration with Mars, has the backdoor she set up in the first place.

It took more than ten seconds to retrieve the data, and Gray Wind came to a conclusion: "When the Forbidden Army's strike fleet passed through the L-Star Gate, the coordinates set were located in the western part of the Extreme Star Field, adjacent to the Sun Star Field, a galaxy under the control of the Mechon, which has rich resource reserves and a unique strategic location, and together with the Otrama Star Field, it serves as a logistics supply base for the Unyielding Expedition...... But these words alone do not explain the large-scale dispatch of the forbidden army. ”

It's just a few rich planets, and it's not enough for the emperor's forbidden army to pour out, even if Maculag is devoured by bugs, and Baal is destroyed by the Boundary Breaker, it doesn't have this weight.

There must be something more important driving them.

Russell's gaze crossed the star map, centered on the target galaxy of the forbidden army, and the surrounding star fields were unremarkable, either the chaotic subspace seas, or the uninhabited deep space guarded by the Imperial Wardens...... Violence, death, war, and nightmares, the territory of the human empire has always been like this.

The only thing that caught Russell's attention was the dark green scar not far from the mechanistic control system.

It was the northeastern part of the Sun Domain, which had been reduced to an orc battlefield, and the extremely rich green-skinned population made the powerful waaagh !! The force field enveloped the entire star field, showing a dark green vortex on the star map in front of Russell, and the center of the vortex was the source of all battles, the location of the [Relic Khan Throne], Armageddon.

Combined with the previous visions that appeared on the Golden Throne, Russell had the answer.

"The Praetorian Army's goal is Armageddon." Russell said, turning to Grey Wind and giving an order, "Let's go there too, let's have some fun." ”

Gray Wind showed a puzzled look: "However, Falla is now being invaded by foreign enemies, I don't know why, the fanatic's extradimensional portal directly descended on Falla, and a steady stream of high-dimensional demons poured out of it, coupled with the electromagnetic storm released by the artifact in Peturabo's hand, Falla's defenders are now in a bitter battle." ”

"I think we should return to the Far East to support Falla first, the impact of the fall of the capital would be devastating for any regime." Grey Wind said solemnly, "Even in the abstract sense of subspace, the capture of your hometown is a great blow to you. ”

"It's just a planet." Russell shook his head: "The Federation of Humans is a dictatorship without democracy, and where I am is the capital. ”

"That's the way it is...... one side of Grey Wind's cheeks bulged, and his eyes were full of helplessness: "But your own subordinates are resisting the invaders, and you, as a ruler, are not sitting in the rear, but scurrying outside, is it really okay?" What if Falla really falls? ”

"That won't happen." Russell touched Grey Wind's head and pointed to the Ring Temple behind him: "The Time Worm has eaten the second Ruler Fragment, the Order's time weapon will be greatly strengthened, and those arrogant scientists will not allow themselves to reach the 'failed' truth." ”

"Okay......" Grey Wind gave up on persuasion in frustration.

Seeing this, Russell went on to explain: "It is one thing to believe that Falla's defenses will not fall, and on the other hand, what we have to do now is indeed more important than defending a so-called capital. ”

Grey Wind's eyes widened, is that so?

"The battle for the throne at Armageddon is far more important than we imagined, and it is not only affecting the Greenskins at the moment, something more far-reaching, and more macroscopic is showing the possibility of change."

Russell looked down at his white palm, which was as smooth as jade, and said softly, "The ownership of the Khan's throne is not only about deciding who will be the leader of all the greenskins, it is even related to whether the Lord of Darkness will be born. ”

Compared to this, a Gaia planet named Falla is too insignificant.

The same goes for the Holy Terra.

Thanks to the powerful Waaagh!! Under the influence of the force field storm, Armageddon has now been completely isolated from the outside world, the celestial domain around it has been distorted and solidified, and all means of subspace navigation have become ineffective.

Until the decisive battle that decided the ownership of the throne was over, and the destined Great Khan sat on the throne of the Khan, no bull ghost and snake god could enter Armageddon and interfere with the battle for the throne of the Greenskins.

Even the Tuchucha engine struggled to traverse Waaagh of this level!! Force Field Storm, its positioning system has been interfered with, and the only way to enter Armageddon is to go to the edge of Green Storm like the Forbidden Army, and forcibly break through the Greenskin's blockade through physical means, and strong force is the only thing Greenskin recognizes.

Therefore, Russell's strategy of action was quickly determined, and instead of returning to Falla as originally planned, Russell's fast mobile fleet headed for the giant Waaagh as fast as possible!! On the edge of the force field storm, Russell, like the Janissionary Army, prepares to force his way into Armageddon by force.
