168, Holy Black FrenzyEmperor Champion of Black Templar (6)
[In the sixth week, a huge fleet from the Black Templars quickly arrived in the Calixis sector in the Obscure Star Territory. 】
[Thousands of ships, large and small, are staying in orbit around the hive planet, preparing for an upcoming great expedition. 】
[Right in front of the Astropathic Hall of the flagship of the Eternal Expedition.]
[You and Marshal Ludo Dus stand there, patiently waiting for the Grand Marshal’s remote reply.]
[Not long after, a female astropath holding a scepter and wearing a black robe slowly walked out and came to you. 】
["Honorable Emperor Champion and Lord Marshal, now the subspace undercurrents in the entire star region are surging, which has caused the astrological communication from the Grand Marshal to be intermittent. Therefore, the Grand Marshal simply expressed one idea, Black Templar
We will carry out this expedition at all costs to eradicate this rebellious psychic heresy for the emperor and eliminate this rebellion that will occur." The female astropath raised her neck and said slowly.]
[You narrowed your eyes and took a deep breath.]
[You and Marshal Ludo Dus looked at each other and nodded heavily.]
[With the issuance of the Marshal's order, in addition to the necessary guard forces within the battle group.]
[The Astartes monks, numbering close to more than 800, quickly began preparations for the battle.]
[Countless monk servitors shuttle between the cabins, providing any help to the Astartes monks.]
[You accepted the repair and adjustment of the finely crafted power armor ‘Armor of Faith’ by the technical sergeant.]
[You listened to the prayers and blessings of a team of priests led by the hermit.]
[Your power armor is covered with purity marks.]
[The head of the ‘folk thief’ you obtained before was made into a sacred object that can defend against some psychic powers after complicated processing by the think tank director Horadrim and the help of more think tank brothers. 】
[You chose to place the skull of the ‘civilian thief’ carved with prayers on top of the iron halo. 】
[You hesitated for a moment and found the technical sergeant again. ]
[You have obtained a medium-sized storm shield in the shape of a cross.]
[You took three melt bombs from the opponent's hand and placed them under the power backpack.]
[Then you left the arsenal with satisfaction. 】
[In the seventh week, the expedition fleet with a battle barge and three strike cruisers as the core and escorted by dozens of sword-class frigates broke away from the huge main fleet. ]
[Since you have not obtained the specific coordinates of the rebel planet from the psychic illusion before.]
[You discussed with Marshal Ludo Dus and decided to re-explore every planet covered by ice and snow in the entire sector.]
[Any Imperial Navy that encounters your fleet and launches an attack is an enemy controlled by the "One Man" and will suffer a devastating blow from the Black Templar. 】
[Not long after, the first strange planet covered by ice and snow appeared in front of the fleet's channel. 】
[Countless ships belonging to the Imperial Navy did not respond to the call and immediately launched a near-death attack on your fleet.]
[The next moment, countless laser arrays and plasma macrocannon arrays fiercely erupted from the Black Templar fleet. 】
[Just one salvo broke the opponent's void shield and annihilated most of the navy's ships.]
[Assault boats quickly jumped out of the strike cruiser and launched a jump landing towards the remaining naval ships. 】
[As the Emperor’s Champion, you didn’t even have time to rush to the shutdown platform, and the fierce battle in the cold void was completely over.]
[According to reports from the battle brothers on the internal situation, all members of the naval ship are controlled by the out-of-control Astropaths and Navigators. 】
[This seems to be the real reason why the ‘Docu’ can remotely control the Imperial Navy. 】
[Think tank director Horadrim believes that any psyker controlled by the ‘One Man’ will become an amplifier of the other party’s terrifying psionic power.]
[So, in order to prevent it from affecting the psykers in the battle group. 】
[Marshal Ludo Duss issued an order without hesitation.]
[Three strike cruisers arrived near the planet and launched a ruthless orbital bombardment. ]
[Subsequently, a large number of roaring airdrop pods carrying the Black Templar Astartes monks descended into the scorched earth. 】
[As the Emperor's Champion, you are the first to set foot on the surface of the planet.]
[You did not find any sky-reaching light pillars emitting golden light.]
[It seems that the horrific orbital bombardment has eliminated the heretical psykers controlling this planet.]
[Subsequently, the Black Templars' Astartes monks cleared away the remaining mortal puppets as quickly as possible and quickly recovered the entire planet. ]
[In the eighth week, as the entire expedition fleet continues to advance.]
[About thirteen fallen planets that were occupied due to out-of-control psykers have been successfully recovered, and as many as ten psychic puppet heads of 'citizen thieves' have been captured by you one by one.]
[However, the psychic tide caused by the death of the psyker also brought near-extinction and horrific destruction to the entire planet. 】
[You have not yet found a way to eliminate this loss.]
[At the same time, there are still three hive planets whose environments are naturally covered with ice and snow, but due to the foolish judgment of the Planetary Governor, they suffered orbital strikes from the Black Templar. 】
[In the end, as the Emperor's Champion, you used the excuse of time constraints to temporarily stop the Chapter's next attack. 】
[At this time, the psychic prophecy from the think tank director Horadrim provides you with the coordinates of the next planet.]
[It is a fringe planet called Kakdomins, and most of the population on it belongs to the star sector border defense force of the Astra Militarum. 】
[You determined by consulting ancient information that it was the rebel planet where the ‘Dufu’ was located. 】
[However, just when Marshal Ludo Dus was about to issue an attack order. 】
【You raised an objection to the other party.】
[After the death of ordinary heretical psykers, ‘folk thieves’, a psychic tide will erupt that sweeps across the entire planet. 】
[Then once the more powerful ‘Dufu’ dies, I am afraid that the terrifying spiritual energy erupted by the other party will sweep across the entire star region, destroying countless planets and the empire’s shipping lanes. 】
[Even if the Black Templars are not afraid of sacrifice, they still need to think about the huge losses the empire will suffer.]
[Marshal Ludo Dus frowned and fell into silence. 】
[You also stood aside, racking your brains to think of countermeasures. 】
[At this moment, the director of the think tank Horadrim suddenly proposed an immature idea to you. 】
[The psionic headband that think tanks usually use to amplify psionic power may be used in reverse to form an anti-psionic suppression device. 】
[And based on the ancient knowledge he possesses, when enough anti-psychic suppression devices exist in one place at the same time. 】
[The surrounding environment may create a psychic vacuum zone, temporarily shielding the influence of psychic power. 】
[Of course, the think tank director Horadrim cannot guarantee whether it will be successful or not. 】
[You and Marshal Ludo Doos glanced at each other subconsciously.]
[You decided to let the think tank brothers give it a try.]
[At this point, the think tank brothers of the Black Templar will contribute their part to this expedition. 】
