Solar Star Field, Solar System, Pluto, Hersonic Gate
"At last we have arrived, the solar system, the cradle of humanity, the heart of the empire."
Although he was mentally prepared, when a series of flashing spots appeared in the distance of the observation window, Soshyan's heart could not stop surging.
Not only him, but all the soldiers, as well as the soldiers of all other battleships, gathered near the observation window, carefully and curiously watching the gradually enlarging outline of the galaxy and the pale planet - Pluto and several of its satellites.
As the rising generation of the Milky Way, human beings came out of this small star system. After going through countless hardships and hardships, they finally became a large family that cannot be ignored in the Milky Way. Although the long night almost destroyed human civilization,
But another great leader came out of the solar system and made mankind glorious again.
The solar system is great because of Terra, and Terra is great because of the Emperor, so any devout believer in the state religion, if they have the opportunity and ability, will definitely make a pilgrimage to Terra.
Due to the key position of the empire's capital, the solar system has naturally become the star system with the highest population density and the busiest shipping routes in the empire. As the outermost planet of the solar system, Pluto is not only the gateway to the entire star system, but also the main subspace jumping point.
There is a subspace stargate called the Hersonic Gate near it. It is said that it was built in the Dark Ages to make the subspace node more stable and make it easier to enter and exit the solar system. Therefore, ships going to the solar system need to jump into the physical state here.
The universe corresponds to Uranus, which is the main passage out of the solar system.
Just around the fleet of the Astral Knights, you can see batches of ships that have just left the subspace jump node and are moving along the channel. Among them are gorgeous merchant ships, huge pilgrim ships, or round-shaped transport ships.
Ships, as well as warships with fierce muzzles, filled the entire void channel. It can be said that thousands of sails are racing and hundreds of boats are vying for the current. The scene is extremely spectacular.
After experiencing the Great Rebellion and the Beast Wars, the Empire attached great importance to the defense of the solar system, making the current defense network of the solar system and its surroundings the most powerful defensive star system in human history, from the huge orbital fortress group on the moon to
From the fortress groups in the layers of hydrogen clouds on Jupiter to the deep space star fortresses in the halo star belt, in order to protect the sacred solar system, the Empire has established hundreds, thousands or even more extremely large defenses inside and outside the solar system.
The fortress group has deployed billions of weapon systems pointing into the deep space, ready to instantly evaporate any idiot who tries to challenge humanity's dominance of the galaxy.
In addition, there are entire space fleets that are constantly patrolling and defending between these fortress networks, not letting go of any potential threats that may threaten the solar system, and being ready to support the entire defense system at any time. They are also
Collectively known as the Sun Fleet, it can also be said to be the most powerful fleet in the empire.
It can be said that in most cases, the solar system's defense is almost impeccable.
"Chapter Master"
At this time, the voice of the communications officer suddenly came through the brass speaker.
"A signal with high-level naval authority came in and they were going to board and inspect every ship."
Soshyan immediately looked away and frowned.
"who?"
"Their label is. Sun Watch."
Soshyan had never heard of this name, so he immediately summoned Feisal. When the other party heard that it was Sun Watch, he quickly explained to Soshyan:
"This is a battle group of the Custodes."
"Force? Shouldn't they all stay in the palace?"
"Captain, you don't know something. Although the defense system of the solar system is very powerful, it is still composed of mortals. Facing cunning and terrifying enemies, there is always the possibility of being breached. Therefore, among the entire Terran peripheral defense systems, the strongest The largest part is not these seemingly powerful fortress networks, but the Custodes from Sunwatch. This is a large group composed of several shield companies, whose members are sworn to death to defend the peripheral defense system of the Throne World. , regard themselves as the first line of defense of the palace to ensure that the enemy cannot get close to the solar system and the sacred Terra. For this reason, they will regularly attack the entire solar system, as well as the surrounding star systems and a large number of deep space facilities. They patrol the air routes in order to clear out and search for various dangers and potential dangers. They are also considered to be the few forbidden troops that outsiders can occasionally see."
But this did not convince Soshyan.
"But aren't there two Custodes on the ship? Can't we let them communicate on their own? The Astartes will not accept the insult of boarding the ship to search."
Feisal suddenly looked embarrassed. He rubbed his hands and said tactfully:
"That's actually true"
"Special Envoy Faisal, this is my bottom line. If I have to search, I would rather not accept any honor and order the fleet to turn around and leave."
"No, no, don't be so extreme, actually -"
"I'm not overly aggressive. Didn't you hear that my tone was calm?"
In a calm voice, Soshyan said words that made Feisal's heart tremble.
"I'm just conveying my decision to you. This is a decision, not a threat, nor a temptation. You and I have been together for a while, and I believe you should be familiar with my style."
After Feisal hesitated for a moment, he whispered:
"Wait a moment, wait a moment."
Soshyan nodded without saying anything, and Feisal left in a hurry. Soshyan guessed that he was probably going to communicate with the two mysterious forbidden soldiers who basically never left the cabin.
About ten minutes later, Faisal returned to the bridge with a nervous expression.
"Captain Soshyan, we have already communicated with them over there. They will not board the ship for inspection again, but"
"Please tell me if you have anything to say."
"The shield captain wants to board the ship to see you in person."
Soshyan blinked and then spread his hands.
"How can I, a chapter leader, refuse the invitation of the Imperial Army? I immediately ordered the Eternal Loyalty to open the flight deck. But I am curious, why are they using the navy's signal channel?"
"Solar Watch basically does not have its own ships. Most of the time, it is deployed on navy ships or interstellar trade ships."
Soshyan nodded thoughtfully.
"Understood, then let's ask the shield guard captain to come here and talk about it."
At the same time, the news that the Forbidden Forces were coming to the flagship quickly spread among the soldiers. Many people ran to the bridge to observe out of curiosity. After all, the Forbidden Forces were almost no different from myths. Even Li Lin could not even drag them.
Bring Sabourin and other companions to the Eternal Loyalty.
While everyone was waiting, the main door of the bridge slowly rose with a neighing sound. In the warm light, a group of towering giants holding halberds, wearing golden armor and black robes slowly walked in. They compared
The vast majority of space warriors are taller, and their steps are neat and tidy every second they land. The towering pointed helmets and red tassels are the most conspicuous symbols. Everyone wears a helmet, and the front of each helmet is engraved with
Golden eagle, including a warrior holding a golden eagle flag.
