Travel to Warhammer 40K with Gray Wind.

Chapter 156 The sleeping lion

"All right……"

The calm but irrefutable words of the mechanical angel made Listia lose the mood to continue chatting with it.

In silence, anti-entropy and others came to welcome the Reyput family.

The Navigator family that ruled over the main star of Nefer brought many professional psykers and nuns who had been certified and trained by the Tribunal to test the safety and purity of Listia. The tedious process took more than 40 minutes to complete. .

In fact, it doesn’t take long to send a letter simply by running errands, but the Reypt family has long been deeply bound to the local state religion, and the star bomber has appointed Listia to personally hand over the documents he entrusted to Mr. Nefort. The speaker of the State Church herself... which means she needs to meet the prophetess Alexei directly.

Layers of investigations are naturally unavoidable. In the post-preparation stage of the Terra Expeditionary Force, Alexei can be said to be one of the most dangerous and important figures in the entire Far East frontier.

After handing over the sealed document to the prophetess, Lystia left Nifl with doubts, and set off to forge the world of Muspel, the high-ranking judge "Pure Mentor" who holds a blood rose knot, and the ruler The royal sage Coster is there.

Standing on the top of the minaret of the hive city and looking up at the huge asteroid-like Ring of Destruction leading the escort fleet to leave the orbit of the main star of Nifer, the elder of the Reypt family "Krum Reyput "Secretly heaved a sigh of relief, but he still couldn't calm down for a long time.

Krum Reypt turned around and looked behind him. Alexei Reyp was sitting upright on a chair, waiting expectantly for the nun to use a dagger to dismantle Listia for her. The flame seal on the delivered document.

"Although it's quite impolite to say this, Alexey, I hope you won't blame me for being paranoid—the emissary of the star bomber brought 27 unknown military ships whose size is close to that of a moon-class cruiser, and a small A space fortress the size of a planet; I want you to understand what a force it is."

"A powerful fleet of this size has not received any prior application, and the military power enough to wipe out the planet just greeted temporarily, and then directly came to the sky above the main star of Nefer... Even if the star bomber is an ally of the empire, it is too dangerous gone."

Krum told the prophetess about his worries, and the ring of destruction controlled by the anti-entropy has crossed the orbit of Nefer's main star, and slowly drove into the boundless darkness outside the galaxy under the watchful eyes of many "seeing off" scouting teams , to rendezvous with the 3 battleships that had previously been separated.

The temporary division of troops is out of political and security considerations.

The lightning strike ship built by the critical base dock is about 3 kilometers long, and the hull specification is slightly shorter than the human empire moon-class cruiser with a standard length of about 5 kilometers. within the tolerance range.

In comparison, the length of the Stars battleship using the ridge bow structure is 64 kilometers.Although due to the excessive main gun specifications, it can be said that the entire ship of these battleships is completely built around a gun barrel, and 1/3 of the battleship's volume is a hollow gun barrel;
The price of using the ridge bow to obtain the ultra-long-distance strike capability is that the structural strength of the battleship will be inferior to the imperial battleship with the fine gold keel structure... In human terms, it is not crashworthy.

Nevertheless, driving three behemoths far larger than the Queen of Glory into Nirvana at such a sensitive moment is tantamount to declaring war on the expedition fleet anchored in the galaxy.

"Politics is so troublesome... It's easier to do research." Listia slumped down on the seat in the Colossus control room and gave the mechanical angel a look of despair.

Negotiations with the Navigator Family, Mechanicus, and the Tribunal made her quite tired, and all the diplomatic rhetoric she recited before leaving was useless.In addition to being tired, she also solved a doubt: why was she, who was the least popular in the Order of Truth, elected by her colleagues to accept the diplomatic mission entrusted by the leader?
After being tortured for the 12th time by the complicated titles and negotiation process in the Adeptus Mechanicus until her brain overheated, she finally understood the reason.

"The atmosphere in the Order of Truth is like this. Most monks will hire middlemen to negotiate with customers instead of themselves when reselling arms in the black market. Therefore, they have been given kickbacks all the year round. I don't recommend this kind of behavior..."

The Mechanical Angel thought for a while and felt that his suggestion was probably useless, so he said: "Sociable members like you, madam, are actually very rare in the Order. With this precedent, it can be foreseen that in the future For a long time, the monks will defer most of the foreign affairs to you."

So I'm good at communication... Listia seems to have some clues to why she is not popular.

Away from Nirvana's field of vision, the assembled fleet, headed by three battleships, deployed a defensive posture to protect the Ring of Destruction colossus in the middle. At the same time, they activated the holographic invisibility field and the jump engine - the reason for not using the psychic invisibility field was because of the lack of spirituality. Can dust.

Listia quickly stood up straight from her slumped state, and used the sound array communication array to state to all the combatants in the fleet:

"Everyone is ready to fight, repeat, everyone is ready to fight; in 20 minutes we will jump directly into the fierce battlefield full of green-skinned orcs and the armed forces of the human empire. Our war will be completed in the leap and the space curvature is stable The moment we come down; don't allow our allies with the Imperium of Man to let our guard down for an attack from either side - we will slaughter a world and make enemies of all humans and orcs in the galaxy at the same time."

"In the name of truth, we will purify Aurora."

"The cooling time of the jump engine is 200 days. This mission is estimated to take 1.5 standard Terra years. Then——let's go."

Her words fell among the stars. High-power engines roared and tore space and time into pieces. The superdimensional rift that suddenly opened swallowed up a colossus the size of an asteroid. The war fleet that was ready to go disappeared into the dark expanse. In space.

This fleet carrying the wrath of the star bombers has already set off, and they are about to cause an uproar in Espernes with the death of nearly [-] billion people in a world.

But before that, the three small documents sent by Listia not long ago had already caused a deep earthquake with even greater impact within the human empire.

The earthquake started from the top floor of the Hive Capital of Nefer Prime, and a dozen pieces of parchment in the hands of the prophetess Alexei were filled with concise and neat handwriting.Russell's handwriting is not as fancy as the imperial nobles' continuous strokes and cursive styles. Every symbol is neat and clear, which looks quite comfortable.

Even low-level people who are accustomed to speaking regional dialects can easily recognize some of these words:
"Dark Angels... Caliban, Fallen Angels... The Unforgiven, the Lion Sleeping Deep in the Stone..."
