Chapter 757 Dwarf
Above Holy Terra, the Great Bell of Lost Souls, which tolled for the victims, rang for a long time, as if mourning for the loss of a legion. However, all those who knew the situation knew that this time the Great Bell of Lost Souls was not tolling for the Astartes, but for a huge star fortress and the hundreds of thousands of mortals who died in it.

The news of the fall of the Sun Fortress has reached Holy Terra, and people are extremely saddened by this news. In their view, this huge star fortress, the flagship of the 21st Legion, is the symbol of the Renaissance Crusade and the symbol of the 21st Legion. Its fall has now caused a huge shock to the entire empire. Some extreme people even think that this is the beginning of the failure of the Renaissance Crusade, and some think that this is a sign of the fall of the 21st Legion.

On Holy Terra, the pilgrims who learned the news kept crying. They were saddened by the fall of the sacred star fortress from the bottom of their hearts. They kept cursing and angrily at the enemies who destroyed the Sun Fortress. All the people were sad. They believed that this was a huge loss for the 21st Legion. Different people had their own ideas about this matter.

All the legions sent star messages of condolences to the 21st Legion, and the high lords of the empire immediately began to think about whether they needed to express their attitudes to Wang Ming. After all, this was a very sensitive matter. The fall of the flagship of the 21st Legion meant that the 21st Legion had definitely suffered a huge blow, and the strength of the 21st Legion would inevitably be weakened. During this time, would Wang Ming suspect that they wanted to make trouble?

It is no wonder that the high lords would think this way. After all, they were looking at the corpses of the former high lords on the ceiling, and they had to think about this problem.

Among these high lords, Mars's Forging General was less uneasy than the others. He was very calm. He had not done anything that violated the contract between the 21st Legion and Mars, nor did he have any shortcomings in his work. When Wang Ming launched the Second Renaissance Expedition, Mars put himself in the right position. They understood that the 21st Legion could make the empire completely do without Mars, and Mars must show his value to Wang Ming.

Moreover, General Casting has already begun to think about how to get the wreckage of the Solar Fortress into his own hands. According to the contract between the 21st Legion and Mars, by the way, the full name of this thing is "Technological Assistance Agreement between the Martian Mechanicus and the 21st Legion". The 21st Legion is the party providing assistance. So, can he use the reason of technical assistance to ask Wang Ming to give them some of the wreckage of the Solar Fortress?
Some people in the Inquisition were very happy about this news. They believed that this was an opportunity. With this opportunity, they could bring the 21st Legion, the initiator of the Renaissance Expedition, back to the control of the Empire. In their eyes, the 21st Legion was a completely uncontrollable legion. Their degree of independence had reached a point that was completely intolerable. As long as they wanted to rebel, they would definitely destroy the entire human empire.

But when these guys were about to cause trouble, the Astartes in silver armor found them. They found the hiding places of the Inquisitors, and then dragged them all out like chickens. The Inquisitors still wanted to resist, but all resistance was futile. After all, even if they were Inquisitors with rich combat experience, they could not fight against the Astartes.

Moreover, it was obvious that the Imperial Guards were involved in their actions this time. The inquisitors looked at the Sisters of Silence and the Imperial Guards in golden armor, and they were completely desperate.

However, the problem of the Inquisitor was not the biggest problem. The biggest problem was the spread of the news. After a large number of the Resurrection Expedition fleets knew the news, all kinds of negative emotions emerged and they began to doubt the progress of the Resurrection Expedition.

This was not because the soldiers had any psychological problems, but mainly because the 21st Legion was too powerful in their eyes, as if everything they had was invincible. But now that the flagship of the 21st Legion had been destroyed by the enemy, how could they have any doubts about this war?

Just when the Renaissance Expedition fleets all had some negative emotions to a greater or lesser extent, the Renaissance Expedition Second Fleet, which had just returned to the Empire from the edge of the Milky Way's Black Domain and was heading to the industrial world of the 21st Legion for supplies, also received the news. They did not have much opinion on the news, and Wang Xiaofa even smiled and comforted the planetary governor of this world and the worried Imperial Fist instructors of the garrison company on this world.

He asked them to believe Wang Ming and the 21st Legion. The destruction of the Solar Fortress was not a huge loss, although the fall of the Solar Fortress was so hard to accept for the Empire. In fact, for the 21st Legion, the fall of the Solar Fortress was just the fall of a flagship. In Wang Ming's view, the value of this flagship was not as great as that of those dead mortal auxiliary troops.

However, after Wang Ming learned about the current situation within the empire, he still responded. As the response of the 21st Legion was conveyed to the empire, in their news, a new huge star fortress appeared in their fleet. It was a star fortress that looked even larger than the Sun Fortress. On the pictures sent back by the 21st Legion, he was quietly sailing in the void. Beside him, those huge starships tens of kilometers long were like ants.

This was the 21st Legion's response to everyone. The fall of the Solar Fortress did not cause too much loss to the 21st Legion. Those great enemies were completely unable to defeat the 21st Legion, and they were even less able to defeat the Empire. The Renaissance Expedition was still going on. No matter how crazy those Chaos enemies were, they could not pose any threat to the Empire's Renaissance Expedition. The fall of a Solar Fortress did not mean anything. If there was only one thing it could represent, it was that it would make humans hate those Chaos enemies even more.

Hate those heretics, it was they who caused the fall of the Sun Fortress, avenge the former Sun Fortress, avenge the symbol of this revival expedition, human consciousness will never be defeated, the horn of revenge has been sounded.

After receiving this news, it was quickly spread to all the Renaissance Expedition squadrons. After learning this news, those soldiers who had more or less doubts about the Renaissance Expedition completely dispelled those doubts in their hearts. Nothing happened to the 21st Legion, and the fall of the Sun Fortress did not cause them any losses. How could this not inspire the morale of those soldiers?
Suddenly, revenge for the Sun Fortress became the battle cry of the expeditionary force, resounding on countless worlds. They hated those Chaos enemies even more, and the Chaos cults on those worlds were also very confused. The morale of the Imperial troops was not so high a few days ago. Why did these guys rush up shouting revenge? What was going on?

At the same time, in a galaxy in the center of the Milky Way, a huge fleet is completing the blockade of this galaxy.

"Block the subspace channels, and then trap these guys in this galaxy to force them to communicate with us." Wang Ming looked at the scan image of a galaxy on the holographic projection screen. This was how he handled the dwarves on that world. For Wang Ming, those dwarves must accept contact with the Empire. Wang Ming also wanted to know why those dwarves ran for their lives every time they saw the battleships of the 21st Legion. What on earth was it that scared these dwarves?

After receiving Wang Ming's order, the fleet immediately started working. The fleet immediately blocked the Mandeville point of the entire galaxy, and then slowly approached the world where the dwarves were mining. Regarding the contact with the dwarves, Wang Ming hoped that they could show some tough attitude. After all, these dwarves are notoriously stubborn. They are the type who will not give up until they see the Yellow River and will not cry until they see the coffin.

When facing them, they had to show absolute pressure. What surprised Wang Ming was that, in fact, they had not started any contact, but the dwarves felt the pressure. The moment they saw the imperial fleet, they were ready to start their ships and run away. They even rarely gave up the mines. This was not the style of the dwarves. How could they not give up? They had already identified it as their own things?

Outrageous and strange, this matter is really too weird. In fact, Wang Ming had expected this situation. However, in his expectation, those dwarves would definitely run away with their mines. But now these guys are so scared that they don’t even want the mines. This matter is really too weird.

But overall this matter is not a big problem. The entire galaxy has been blocked anyway, and they have nowhere to run. When the time comes, we can just stop them and ask them directly.

However, before going to stop those dwarves, we should first get rid of all the Necrons in this world. This world is rich in minerals, but it doesn’t matter. After blowing it up, the minerals are still very rich.

Wang Ming no longer had any intention of fighting the Necrons. He could just blow them all to death while they were still in hibernation mode. Fighting this group of guys was a complete waste of time and energy. Their most important task at the moment was to contact those space dwarves, rather than to care about the Necrons in this world. As the new star fortress's star-destroying weapon was aimed at this world, a terrible energy beam was also shot out from the star-destroying weapon. Wang Ming did not give these Necrons any chance to react. These guys must die.

As the energy beam passed through the crust of this world, it directly ignited the core of this world, instantly turning it into a huge and dazzling space firework, which instantly exploded into lumps of interstellar matter.

After seeing this scene, the space dwarves fled even faster, and even wanted to start their sub-light speed engines to rush directly out of the galaxy. They already knew that the Mandeville Point was blocked, so now they only wanted to escape from the fleet's pursuit, but how was that possible?
"These guys are running so fast? Why do they feel like they owe us money?"

Wang Ming looked at the dwarf ships. He said something to the artificial intelligence of the Nova Fortress, and then the fleet immediately started the curvature engine. Under the acceleration close to the speed of light, they arrived at the side of the dwarf ships in almost a blink of an eye.

"Captain Wang Ming, I just checked the data streams sent by those ships. They may indeed owe us a debt..."

Just as Wang Ming was staring at the dwarf warships and thinking about the similarity between their design styles and those of the Human Federation, the holographic projection of the Star Fortress's artificial intelligence suddenly appeared beside him. Then, in her girlish voice, she said to Wang Ming something that absolutely could not be said by an artificial intelligence, because the uncertainty and emotional fluctuations in the words were too obvious.

After hearing her words, Wang Ming immediately turned his head and stared at the holographic projection of the artificial intelligence. His golden pupils were filled with confusion. Since when did the data calculations of artificial intelligence become so inaccurate?
Just when Wang Ming was about to ask a question to the artificial intelligence, a holographic projection screen suddenly appeared in front of Wang Ming. On the holographic projection screen was a long list of financial statements and various data, and even an approval document from the Human Federation, which was a loan document, and a very large loan.

The zeros in the numbers just now made Wang Ming a little confused. Wang Ming didn't even understand for a while, what on earth did this mean? Of course, when the voice of artificial intelligence appeared in Wang Ming's ears again, Wang Ming finally understood.

As everyone knows, Wang Ming's current fleet seems to be composed of a large number of federal ships and a small number of imperial ships. Among these federal warships, there is a large amount of data of the Federation. The Sun-class Star Fortress, as the flagship of the federal fleet, has more information than those other warships. Among these data, there is a large amount of federal government information, as well as all kinds of strange information. Among these strange information, there are countless loans from the human federation to various enterprises in the golden age.

The Human Federation encourages galactic development, so the interest rates on those loans are naturally very low. After tens of thousands of years, the interest rates on these loans have reached a very scary level. The dwarves, who were once descendants of those mining companies that went to the center of the galaxy, naturally inherited the loan for their ancestors. Through some special things on those dwarf ships, the fleet's artificial intelligence can also tell which company the ancestors of those dwarves were from.
