Warhammer: My Brother Is the Emperor.

Chapter 179 Blackstone Fortress Ship Girl
According to the Tau coordinates, Syed stared at the star map, which was located in a warship graveyard of more than a million cubic miles, and a warp storm was spreading nearby.

It's like chaos enclosing the land, avoiding being touched by the advance empire or other forces in advance.

Of course, in order to confuse the public, the subspace storm is not limited to this place. Without the intersecting clues of the Tau tribe, the empire would not be able to locate it at all.

This information caused Ryan to attach great importance to it, and immediately led four Blackstone Fortresses and a thousand battleships with fifty battleships as the core to go there.

Ryan is no stranger to this place, because it used to be the lair of countless pirates. Imperial warships dealt with pirates here all the year round, and even passed the coordinates.

However, according to the ship's memories, there was nothing at the coordinates at that time, except for hulks and hulks, there was no trace of the Blackstone Fortress.

But when Ryan arrived, he found that this place had become a safe haven for pirates. A large number of fish that escaped the siege of the empire hid in the nearby space and explored the fortress.

Ryan immediately ordered the siege, and a large number of green-skinned orcs, dark spirits, and humans who had degenerated into pirates fled in all directions, and were surrounded and wiped out by the prepared empire.

Ryan then interrogated the group of captives and learned that almost all of them had entered the Blackstone Fortress and carried out a near-death exploration.

Through them, Ryan learned the general situation in the fortress.

Different from the four existing Blackstone Fortresses in the empire, the Blackstone Fortress in front of you is not only a weapon, but also stores ancient alien technology and relics. If you can find something, it will be of great benefit.

As a result, a large number of explorers and pirates gathered at the dilapidated space station named Extremis, and used it as a base to explore the fortress.

Lane then destroyed the space station, executed all the prisoners, and ordered the Imperial Navy to blockade the area.

Then he asked: "His Royal Highness, shall we destroy it directly, or explore first and then make a decision?"

Said replied: "Destroy it directly. Technology can make the empire stronger, but extinction can make the empire survive. Abaddon must have a backup. We can't give him a chance!"

Ryan was a little reconciled: "But...His Royal Highness, even if Abaddon succeeds, he only has one ship. It won't affect the overall situation. We have six ships!"

However, Said insisted: "Execute the order Ryan, don't forget my original entrustment, what is the highest priority task!"

Ryan replied unwillingly: "Don't let Blackstone Fortress fall into the hands of Abaddon!"

Said nodded and said: "That's right, destroy it quickly!"

"Yes, Your Royal Highness!" Ryan had no choice but to carry out the order.

At this moment, a dark angel reported: "My lord, the Blackstone Fortress received a communication, and it seems to be from the unowned Blackstone Fortress!"

Ryan was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Take it!"

"Compatriots... please... kill... me..."

There was a hoarse female voice on the communication broadcast, like a weak old woman, Ryan thought for a while and asked, "Who are you?"

The weak female voice was a little more anxious: "I... am... Val... talisman... your... compatriots in front of... you, I have been... defiled, killed... I... protected ...keep...pure!"

Speaking of this, Ryan and Said probably understood what she meant.

The speaker is the machine soul of the Blackstone Fortress, and it has a more vivid name on Earth - Ship Girl.

The Chaos warship teleports through the subspace, integrates with the Blackstone Fortress, and releases pollution and corruption, which is no less than entering that and then being hit by that.

If the corruption is complete, and the accomplice who may be magnetically degenerated into chaos, it is the perpetrator who fell in love with the perpetrator after being rapped.

As the creation of the spirit race, the Blackstone Fortress is the amulet of Vaal, the god of craftsmen. It has its own pride in its heart. It would rather die than be reconciled to being fallen by the chaotic Karami magnetism.

At this moment, the Chaos War Gang explored around the fortress, spreading the pollution, and the machine soul of the fortress relied on the last trace of sobriety to die together with the villains.

Having figured this out, Said immediately ordered: "Promise her, activate the vortex cannon, and the four Blackstone Fortresses will attack together, and let her die purely!"

Lion King Ryan solemnly agreed, and then ordered the dark angel to manipulate the Blackstone Fortress, eject four streams of energy, and gather them into a larger energy ball at the Shipgirl Fortress.

As the concentrated energy increases, the energy ball will expand more and more, and as soon as it reaches the critical point, it will burst out and destroy the fortress of the ship.

However, at this moment, the concentrated energy suddenly disappeared, and the attack stopped. The Lion King angrily said, "What's going on? Why did it stop!"

The dark angel who was operating was at a loss, and panicked and replied: "I don't know, Mr. Ryan, the operation is all normal!"

At this time, the dark angel next to the communication equipment said in surprise: "My lord commander, there is something new here!"

Ryan hurried forward to check, but found that in the communication log, there were several more communications that did not belong to the empire:

"Compatriots... Compatriots... Do not kill compatriots... Purify pollution... Purify pollution... Loyalty... Loyalty..."

Ryan frowned and guessed: "This is... the machine soul of our Blackstone Fortress?"

Said puppet nodded: "It seems that they don't want to kill the Jianniang Fortress, what a blood!"

Ryan asked: "His Royal Highness, what should we do now?"

Said thought for a while, and ordered: "Try to activate the fortress, enter the subspace, and get out of here!"

Ryan immediately followed suit, but found that the fortress was motionless. No matter how he pushed the hand of darkness and the eye of darkness, the fortress did not respond.

At this time, the communicator records continued to increase: "Purification of pollution...loyalty...purification of pollution...loyalty..."

Ryan sighed: "It seems to mean that only by helping the target fortress to purify the pollution, our fortress will continue to be loyal!"

In the palace, Said was speechless for a while. At this moment, he hated the world of idealism very much. Under the animism of all things, the performance of the machine depends entirely on his mood!
In the end, he sighed helplessly: "Let the large army jump to help and clear the target fortress!"

Ryan showed excitement, and immediately saluted the sky eagle: "Yes, Your Royal Highness, I promise to complete the task!"

Unlike the four empty Blackstone Fortresses in his hands, there are a large number of technological artifacts in the main fortress. If you get one or two, your combat power will be greatly improved.

With a longing mood, Ryan immediately ordered two battle groups of space fighters, three battle groups of giant soldiers, one hundred thousand puppet auxiliary troops and Mechanicus troops to jump to the target fortress.

Soon, the first batch of landing troops took strike cruisers, boarded the bridge smoothly, and entered the interior of the fortress.

Inside, they saw a scene that was completely different from that of the Imperial Fortress. Through the Tzeentch ceremony, the Chaos Battleship and the Ship Mother Fortress were integrated into one.

The hull of the battleship and the interior of the giant host are tangled together, and the twisted and weirdness of chaos and the natural beauty of the spirit race combine to present an extremely absurd picture.

The inlaid cabins in the fortress are rearranged and are constantly changing. The road in front of the team is constantly changing, just like the maze of the Lord of Change.

Lion King Ryan judged: "It seems that Machine Soul wants to divide the Servants of the Abyss war gang and scatter them in different cabins. Although Machine Soul is on our side, we can't be careless."

Therefore, Ryan will jump to help the troops to organize the battle, and each group has giant soldiers and dark angels.Puppet Auxilia and Mechanicum units.

The battle groups entered one after another and were transported by unpredictable roads. They were first attacked by Urguls.

Urguls has four limbs, is humanoid, crawls on the ground, has no eyes on his face, but has many olfactory holes, somewhat similar to the Resident Evil Licker.

The Empire is no stranger to Gulths. They can be seen everywhere in Comoros. The Dark Eldar used them as pets and beasts of war, brought them to gatherings, and gutted their prisoners.

These creatures have no eyesight. In absolute darkness, they use rows of scent holes to lock down their prey and tear them apart with powerful claws.

In front of mortals, these ferocious predators are like gods, but in front of demigods and superhuman space fighters, they are children who have been beaten violently.

With night vision and auxiliary aiming devices, these predators in the dark have nowhere to hide. As soon as they appeared, they were shot one by one by the space warriors, killing them quickly with extremely high efficiency.

The imperial troops advanced rapidly. According to Ryan's instructions, their goal was to destroy the Chaos War State, the servant of the abyss, and purify the pollution of the Blackstone Fortress.

However, the strange thing is that the jumping gang was attacked by the spindle machine bee, and the sentinels shaped like insects were everywhere, walking through the corridors in groups, constantly rummaging for piles of debris.

When they find a foreign object that does not belong to the stronghold, they will emit energy pulses to cut the foreign object into smaller pieces, and if they encounter intruders, they will immediately swarm them.

These structures had a fierce exchange of fire with the jumping troops, causing sporadic casualties among the auxiliary army and the Mechanician troops. Lion King Ryan immediately contacted the ship girl fortress:
"We help you clean up the pollution, why attack us? Hurry up and stop your structure!"

Forget about Urguls, he is a brainless animal after all, but the Spindle Machine Bee is under the control of the Battleship Fortress, and it is unreasonable to attack the Tiaobang troops.

The ship girl replied weakly: "Attacker...corruption...enemy...attacker...corruption...enemy..."

Ryan frowned and asked, "You mean the structures have been corrupted?"

The ship girl kept repeating: "Enemy! Enemy! Enemy!"

At this time, the puppet beside Ryan said:
"When destroyed by the Spindle Machine Bees, the corpses re-fused with the fortress. Their composition is the same as that of the Blackstone Fortress, and the fortress itself is fused with the Chaos Battleship..."

The Spindle Bee itself must be rotten!

Figured this out, the Lion King didn't embarrass the ship girl any more, but ordered to intensify the attack. The auxiliary army used canned food as the core, and constantly used hot melt and plasma to eliminate the spindle machine bee.

The Mechatronic Electric Monk unleashes a lightning range attack, shooting down the drone bees in pieces.

Under the powerful combat power of the space fighters, the jumping troops continued to advance, and soon reached a crack, where they found something different.

Under the operation of the machine soul ship girl, the interior of the battleship is constantly changing, not only the front passage changes every second, but even the cabins on both sides are constantly twisting and changing, and the jumping team dare not go in at all.

One second it was still a square, the next second it was a circle, and then it became a solid wall, and everything inside was flattened.

But in the crack-shaped cabin, there is no change, maintaining a stable internal structure, so the jumping troops use the stable crack as a base to explore around.

Due to the constant change of location, the Jumping Team can explore all parts of the fortress without going too far. Then, they found a luminous body wrapped in unknown materials in the stable cabin.

By asking the machine soul, Ryan learned that these are fragments of super-dimensional matter, and as long as a certain amount is destroyed, the fortress will disintegrate on its own.

Also for Chaos, as long as it is corrupted to a certain amount, the entire fortress can be turned into a demon engine.

Therefore, Ryan immediately ordered to occupy more stable cabins, and as the exploration deepened, the second batch of jumping gangs landed.

They are the same size as the first team, and their task is to replenish the first batch and take over the first batch of strongholds, so that the pioneers can continue to explore.

Soon, the Tiaobang troops encountered a group of Chaos Beastmen, full of rage, as strong as beasts, with horns, hooves and fur, roaring towards the Imperial forces.

They were severely persecuted all over the empire. Under the strict order of Terra, they were listed as unwelcome by a large number of imperial worlds and were exterminated.

Before the purification expedition, many imperial worlds turned a blind eye to the Beastmen as labor slaves, but after the purification expedition, the imperial world completely drew a line with them.

Therefore, when chaos came, they quickly succumbed, readily accepted their own mutation and the blessings of the evil gods, and became stronger and more violent.

But in front of the space fighters, the Beastmen were still massacred by bloody, bolter guns and plasma light clusters. In front of the half-body cans, their strengthening and rage were useless.

When the gunfire stopped and a pile of corpses was left in front of them, all the imperial troops were on alert and did not relax their vigilance, because they knew that this was just the beginning.

Following the Beastmen came a large number of Chaos Space Marines and Traitor Auxiliary Army. Under the changing space, they were divided into small groups, and when they encountered the jumping troops, a fierce exchange of fire took place instantly.

Machine souls help the imperial troops gain a stronghold, gain a foothold and familiarize themselves with the environment, and then affect the transformation space, allowing them to meet the Chaos army and clean up the pollution.

For the Blackstone Fortress, the imperial forces are like targeted potions, precisely clearing the pollution of chaos.

As the firefight spread, not only the jumping troops who went out to explore, but also the crack stronghold in the rear fell into fierce competition.

Chaos hopes to capture the extradimensional space fragments and complete the corruption of the entire fortress.

Therefore, Ryan sent the third batch of jumping troops to quickly reinforce the battlefields and suppress the Chaos troops with a huge number.

According to intelligence, the Chaos War Nation only has [-] cans and less than [-] auxiliary troops, which is not even a fraction of the imperial fleet.

With the advantage in numbers and the help of machine souls, the imperial army advanced steadily, continuously occupying the stable cabin, and capturing the fragments of the ultra-dimensional space. Ryan had the chance to win, and felt that the situation was stable.

However, no accidents, accidents will happen at this time.

Outside the forbidden area of ​​Blackstone Fortress, the warp storm became more violent, and sporadic chaos pirates sacrificed the green-skinned psionic boy, weakening reality and the warp veil.

In an instant, a chaotic fleet tore through the curtain and leaped out. The battleship Spirit of Vengeance was majestic, surrounded by planetary killers, full of murderous aura.

There are not many of them, only more than 200 ships, but they are already Abaddon's last main force.

The No.12 Black Crusade begins.

Lion King Ryan was not surprised but delighted. With his current combat power, he could blow up Abaddon without dispatching battleships.

So he immediately ordered the fortress to attack, but found that the fortress was not moving at all, only the communicator kept displaying:
"Purification! Loyalty! Purification! Loyalty!"

Only when the fortress is purified, the imperial fortress will continue to serve the empire.

Until then, the fort will not obey any orders.

　In the original history, the Blackstone Fortress fell into the hands of Chaos, and indeed asked the empire to disintegrate it, and would rather die than be destroyed
