"Your Highness, the Nessian side is safe. The Avesta and the Abyss-class defeated the fleet of Nurgle followers and the enemy's lackeys. Eidolon, Typhons and others also came from the orbit of the Nessun IV.
Defeat."
In the secret meeting room of an Oberon-class battleship belonging to Zhao Akada, Soshiyang saw the Golden Feather Guard wearing invisible spiritual bone armor and a golden feather short cloak on his right shoulder.
Most of the warships are on the front line, so Soshyan can only ride on the warships of the Adeptus Mechanicus when traveling back and forth.
Hearing the news, Soshyan breathed a sigh of relief.
But after learning of the massive Tyran invasion, he immediately mobilized fleets, especially the Silent Fleet of the Ecclesiarchy, to provide support. However, something went wrong while navigating through subspace.
That's right, it's something that all ships in the Empire that have been in service for a long time have experienced - subspace storms.
Subspace is a very difficult to understand area. One of its most significant features is that it will form an incomprehensible and destructive storm in an area without warning or reason. This is similar to the storm on the sea.
Similarly, when a ship passes through these storms, in the best case scenario, it may be blown off course and appear thousands of light-years away from its target, or simply run into unknown areas of the galaxy.
The unlucky ones are directly trapped in the subspace in despair and become bait for the dark creatures living in the subspace.
The duration of the subspace storm itself is also difficult to determine. Some are only a few days or months, but it may also be centuries.
According to statistics from the Imperial Merchant Fleet, in the 41st millennium alone, more than four million ships of various types were reported missing throughout the Empire, half of which were lost in subspace storms.
The key point is that the power of this "supernatural phenomenon" is extremely huge. No matter you are the heroic Chapter Leader of the Astartes, a mechanical sage who has mastered countless high-tech technologies, or a marshal with thousands of troops,
It's just a speck of dust in front of it, and whether it survives depends entirely on luck.
Throughout the history of the Empire, there are no shortage of horrific cases in which entire expeditionary armies or even entire battle groups perished in warp storms.
However, the appearance of this thing is completely a matter of probability. Except for certain specific areas, Soshyan has never encountered a subspace storm after being a space warrior for so many years. Even according to the historical records of the Star Knights themselves
, the Chapter has recorded only three encounters with subspace storms, one of which resulted in the complete loss of a company.
As a subspace, the Storm Star Territory does not have frequent activities, and there is no "black zone" with large cracks. Subspace storms are extremely rare. The most famous one is the "Judgment Storm" during the Gothic War, which blocked part of the star.
support troops in the region, but generally speaking, it is a region of the empire where subspace storms rarely occur.
In other words, this extremely low-probability thing happened to Soshyan at the most critical moment.
When the navigator informed him of the subspace storm in horror, Soshyan's first thought was that someone was secretly causing trouble, but then he thought about it, how many entities in the galaxy are there that can create subspace storms?
Then he discovered that his power, which seemed to be all-powerful, suddenly became insignificant in the violent subspace. He might be able to escape by himself, but the entire fleet could not. The subspace at that time seemed to be vigorously stirred.
The cauldron, the torrent of spiritual power swept through the fleet, the navigators tried their best to maintain the fleet's formation, the Geller force field also withstood the most severe test, the demons laughed in the strong wind, just waiting for any ship
When the protective light of the ship was extinguished, they swarmed up and swallowed the ship and the people together.
And Soshyan can do almost nothing about it.
It's not like he never thought about asking the Bewitcher for help, but he found that he couldn't go to the Thunder Stone Church. Just when he was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, the sudden storm began to dissipate.
So fortunately, although it was delayed for some time, the fleet arrived at its destination safely, which was the jumping node on the outer edge of the Westeros galaxy. Due to the influence of the shadow of the Hive Mind, it was unable to jump directly into the galaxy.
middle.
But after entering the physical universe, Jin Yuwei from the royal court immediately requested an audience. Fortunately, Zhao Akada boarded the pirate ship, and the Eldar signal receiver was deployed on the ship. Suoshiyang then asked Jin Yu to
Wei used a small boat with the best stealth performance to approach.
As soon as he came in, he immediately told him bad news and good news.
Bad news, the Fourteenth Legion and the Third Legion worked together to jointly attack the planet Naisen and the Bracato system.
The good news is that the attack caused basically no damage and both groups of traitors were repelled.
"...After General Giulio Pula annihilated the Nurgle disciples fleet that attacked the Bracato system, and then went to the Nessen system for support, he learned that the war was basically over, so he made a plan to ambush the enemy's lackeys.
The plan was until the enemy's lackeys evacuated from the Nessen system to join the outer fleet, and launched a surprise attack, destroying 27 ships and killing about a thousand Chaos Space Marines, but the bodies of Eidolon and Lucius were not found."
After hearing this, Soshyan nodded slightly.
"It's a pity, but it's also good. The enemy took advantage of it this time because I didn't think well. But what do you mean when you say that Eidolon and Typhons were defeated in orbit..."
"Back to Your Highness, according to post-war intelligence, Nurgle believers and the enemy's lackeys used speedboats to quickly approach the orbital defense facilities of Nathan IV, and initiated a gang-hopping, and almost took control of the orbit at one point."
"Um?"
Soshyan thought for a moment, and the situation should have been very dangerous at that time, because once the orbital facilities were controlled, those weapons might turn their muzzles to attack the monastery fortress on the planet's surface, or just let the orbital structure hit the planet.
It's a disaster.
More importantly, he knew how much power the Chapter Monastery had left. No matter how ridiculous Eidolon, Typhons and the like were in his eyes, they were long-established figures after all, and it was absolutely impossible to repel them with just new recruits.
theirs.
"Master Ananda?"
This possibility was the first thing that popped into Soshiyang's mind, but looking at Jin Yuwei's attitude, it didn't seem like it.
"Any idea who fought them off?"
"Back to Your Highness, the result of the subsequent investigation was...one of your cooks."
Soshyan blinked and then blurted out.
"Ah? Rozem?"
"I don't know the specific name of my humble position, but what Lord Doral asked me to relay is that one of your cooks used incredible strength to defeat almost all the intruders alone. Eidolon also summoned a secret keeper, but it
It seems that they were defeated by a group of Hrud... Short men, greenskins, etc. also appeared in the battle..."
