In the cold and boundless void of the universe, ancient stars are emitting dim light full of deadly radiation.
Because this place is close to the true dark outer realm, it lacks the light of the Terran Torch all year round.
Even the nearest human colony is thousands of light years away.
And as the great rift opens and spreads.
Today, the Salwarkar cluster has actually become a forbidden area that no one cares about.
Even the Man-Eating Shark Chapter, which has been patrolling back and forth in the Ghoul Star Territory for a long time, rarely sets foot here.
But now, with a subspace entrance quietly unfolding in the cold void.
A Tyrant-class cruiser, the White Jaw, slowly sailed out of the mysterious and treacherous subspace.
Wait until the most important Geller force field is slowly closed.
The huge metal hull continued to sail on a silent and cold void route.
At this moment, we are inside the bridge of the Tyrant-class cruiser.
The solemn-looking mortal crew members and servitors were testing and operating various equipment.
Not far away, Rorschach, who was wearing pale gold power armor, and the think tank chief Kahuranji were talking.
"Master Primarch, we have arrived at the area where the request for help came from. This place is called the Salvakar Star Cluster. It is also one of the edge locations closest to the Dark Outer Domain in the Ghoul Star Territory."
Think tank chief Kahuranji said in a deep voice to Rorschach beside him:
"If we say that the most famous thing here is probably the only alien race called the Saisuo Demon, although our man-eating sharks have only occasionally had a few small-scale encounters with these aliens, the damage ratio in battles
Look, the other party is also a very difficult alien race."
And I heard the words of the think tank director.
Rorschach, who raised his eyebrows slightly, said without thinking:
"Haven't you ever tried to eradicate the weeds? There are no eyes of the Inquisition or human colonies here. Wouldn't it be better to go directly to the alien's home planet to execute the extermination order?"
"Haha, Lord Primarch, this is the real problem. According to the ancient information we accidentally learned a long time ago, no Astartes battle group has been able to successfully destroy the home planet of the Saiso Demon, because
It is a huge gaseous planet, and this kind of alien is quite cunning and mysterious. Once the fleet approaches their home planet, all the aliens will disappear."
However, at this time, just when Rorschach was about to continue chatting with the head of the think tank.
A report from the captain of the Tyrant-class cruiser temporarily interrupted their conversation.
"Dear Primarch and Master of the Think Tank, our shipboard auspicious device has successfully scanned an Astartes fleet staying in the void route. Judging from the opponent's ship configuration, it seems to be a very special fleet.
A standard expeditionary force fleet."
"Currently we have discovered a strike cruiser, plus several frigates and supply transport ships, but calls on any communication channels have not been responded to."
The cruiser captain, who looked like a middle-aged man, stood in front of Rorschach and the others with his back straight and spoke simply and effectively while carrying out his reporting work.
After Rorschach nodded slowly, the other party with a solemn expression immediately turned around and returned to the front of the bridge to continue his work.
"Kahulanji, what do you think about this? Or, how should we carry out rescue?"
Rorschach, who had no expression on his face, turned his eyes slightly.
He stared at the think tank chief Kahuranji beside him and asked in a deep voice.
The think tank director Kahuranji did not answer immediately, but talked about other things.
"Master Primarch, please allow me to talk about other topics first."
"Based on the survival experience of our Shark Chapter, without the cautious mentality and strong strength that have been in the Ghoul Star Territory for a long time, an ordinary Astartes expeditionary force would simply die if it went deep into this place."
"Although we don't know the true identity and specific origins of the other party yet, in my opinion, the chance of them successfully surviving is not high."
"Furthermore, similar situations have happened even within the Man-Eating Shark Group. A Man-Eating Shark team that normally went out to collect materials unexpectedly sent back a request for help. But when our fleet arrived there,
But I only found a lonely ship docked in the void."
"What is even more shocking is that there are no signs of battle or bloodstains inside the ship, but countless mortal crew members and Astartes have disappeared out of thin air, and we have not found a reasonable explanation so far."
At this moment, Kahuranji, the think tank director who was slowly speaking, paused for a moment.
He suddenly opened his mouth with sharp teeth and continued to say to Rorschach:
"Of course, we must also explore this expeditionary force fleet. After all, if the members of the opposing battle group unfortunately disappear, then a strike cruiser will be a major harvest for nothing."
The words just fell.
Rorschach took a deep breath and nodded slightly.
With a solemn expression, he lowered his head and thought for a moment.
He immediately drove the power armor and turned around to a wailer standing behind the bridge and said in a deep voice:
"Go and inform the battle brothers of the Terminator Guard to prepare. I will personally lead the team up to have a look."
Subsequently, Rorschach, who had made up his mind, rejected the persuasion of think tank director Kahuranji.
He drove the power armor and walked towards the outside of the bridge.
----------------------------
In fact, Rorschach did not believe that a strike cruiser sending out a call for help would be too dangerous for his Primarch to deal with.
Judging based on his combat experience.
This expeditionary fleet of unknown origin may have been invaded by some kind of alien, causing chaos that was difficult to deal with.
Or maybe they were raided by a passing Chaos warband.
But judging from the signs around the ship, the possibility of being raided by the Chaos warband is very low.
After about one void hour.
Above the deck of the cruiser.
Rorschach, holding the Blood Scythe in his palm and carrying the Dawnbringer warhammer behind his back, led a Terminator Guard composed of twenty-five Lamenters and slowly entered several Thunderhawk transport aircraft.
Buzz buzz——
Then, with the violent roar of the displacement engine.
A flight formation composed of several Thunderhawk transport aircraft gradually entered the icy void and quickly launched an exploratory operation towards the lifeless expeditionary fleet in the icy void.
At the same time, the think tank leader Kahuranji, who was inside the Tyrant-class cruiser, also ordered the entire company of man-eating sharks to prepare for battle.
Once the original master entered the unknown ship, he encountered some dangerous situation unexpectedly.
They will not hesitate to carry out a gang-hopping operation and carry out a rescue mission against the Primarch.
