Warhammer: Beginning with Planetary Governors

Chapter 276 Return to Ers, and the subspace card drawing starts!

That was the message the Primarch passed on to the top brass of the Empire.

As the flagship of the Imperial Blood Merchants, the Govindi was also qualified to receive this information.

Guilliman issued this warning to the people:
An unprecedented darkness is gathering, a galaxy-wide Warp omen is about to take shape, and the war against the Chaos Gods has never been more difficult or dangerous.

Humanity is only one step away from extinction...

The Primarch's voice echoed throughout the chamber.

Ron couldn't help but sit up straight, his eyes penetrated the porthole and stared at the boundless starry sky outside.

At this moment, his mood was very complicated.

During this time, he remained optimistic about the situation.

It is believed that the disaster from chaos has reached its peak. Since we have reached the bottom, the next step is upward.

Unexpectedly, that was the beginning of the disaster.

His estimate of the impact of the Great Rift was wrong.

The previous ones were just initial shocks, and the big rift has only just begun to truly open!
Suddenly, Ron felt a palpitation.

His psychic senses were acutely aware of the changes in the warp.

The warp churns and surges, and nightmarish visions erode reality like volcanic ash.

In the galaxy, a large rift spreads like wildfire, drawing more areas into the dark side.

Extremely evil eyes are watching humans.

The Primarch's warnings were confirmed.

The suffering is intensifying!
Ron reacted suddenly and immediately controlled his body to send a warning to the territory.

Let the agencies organize their defense.

However, it was still a step too late.

The impact of the changes in the Great Rift was so severe that thousands of messages for help instantly filled the channels of the Royal Court.

At the same time, more news came.

The psykers in the territory were affected to varying degrees, with dozens or even hundreds of them being corrupted by the influence of the Warp.

Killed on the spot.

The monitoring stations used detection devices placed in surrounding star regions and found traces of aliens.

What’s more troublesome is that chaos invasions of varying degrees have occurred in various parts of the territory!

Fortunately, the territory had previously carried out a round of cleanup operations called "The Great Purification", which almost eliminated most of the chaos corruption.

So although this Chaos invasion caused some casualties and losses, it was not to the point where it was difficult to deal with.

Soon, Ron received a report from the Military Affairs Department:
Several chapters, elite Stormtroopers, and the Inquisition have gathered their forces and will travel to various locations through the webway to quell the rebellion.

According to predictions, their military strength is sufficient to quell the unrest in the territory in a short period of time.

Ron breathed a sigh of relief, but the sense of crisis in his heart was not relieved.

Judging from the signs in the territory, the expansion of the Great Rift is extremely rapid.

Although there is no problem here, at most there is a slight disturbance.

But he could imagine what a miserable state the human empire was in today.

At this moment, Holy Terra should be engulfed by the tide of desperate astropathic communications again.

The Great Rift has expanded again, affecting every corner of the Empire's territory, and large areas of star regions are suffering from the invasion of darkness.

Taking advantage of the raging storm, the covetous aliens accelerated their invasion of the empire's territory.

Countless cultists and evil psychics raised the banner of rebellion.

I don’t know how many empires and civilized worlds will fall in this disaster.

The broadcast continued.

Ron could sense it.

Guilliman's breathing grew deeper and his voice grew heavier, though he tried to hold it back.

Apparently, he received news of the catastrophe and sensed the changes in the galaxy.

Guilliman's voice became louder and louder: In the face of evil, the Emperor stands with his people, and so does the Supreme Commander of the Imperium!
The Primarch vowed that he would not cower behind the walls of Holy Terra and allow the enemies of Mankind to wreak havoc on the Imperium's borders.

As always, he will lead the charge among the stars, confronting his enemies in the Emperor's name.

In the face of the disaster of genocide, the entire empire must unite as one and direct its troops against heretics, aliens, evildoers and mutants!

The Primarch named this desperate attack on the enemies of humanity the "Indomitable Crusade".

Wherever the banner points, the light of the Astronomican will pierce the darkness, illuminating the path for a great army not seen since the Great Crusade!
"The road ahead is paved with flames of war, and the Empire will respond with generosity..."

At the end of the broadcast, Guilliman read softly.

Di-

The broadcast ends.

The cabin became silent.

after awhile.

Ron sighed deeply: "Old Ji has tried his best, I can't fall behind..."

Originally, he just wanted to hide behind Guilliman and develop steadily step by step in the rear.

Provide support when appropriate.

But judging from the current situation, the territory is not as safe as imagined. He must speed up development and build more fleets and high-level armed forces.

With Guilliman's oath, the Indomitable Crusade will officially begin, and anyone who dares to stop it will be eliminated!
I'm afraid that the cleansing has already begun on Holy Terra.

He could roughly guess the empire's next move.

New armies will be raised, weaponry never before seen will be unearthed in the factories of Mars; new great fleets will be formed, magnificent engines of war that will bear witness to the Emperor's majesty.

At the same time, the frenzy of mass production will be unstoppable, and every imperial servant will perform his duties and devote everything he has.

no doubt.

An all-out war across the galaxy has begun.

No world can stay out of the increasingly fierce tide of the Warp.

Ron pondered and determined in his mind the next development goal of the territory: frenzied mass production!

In addition to forming a powerful armed force, he will also provide external support.

In the future, he will fill every hotly-contested place in the galaxy with war weapons engraved with the emblem of the savior!

After the local war is over, the territory can also settle in the relevant civilized world, build infrastructure and sign some cooperative development agreements.

The current expansion plan for the territory is to slowly recover the planets bordering the territory.

For those planets that are too far away or even outside the star field, it is not cost-effective to occupy them.

Today, the galaxy is surrounded by enemies. In such a situation, occupying enclaves far away from the center will only increase management costs.

Affects the pace of territory development.

It is a better option to seize resources and beliefs through cooperation or garrisoning, so that everyone can get what they need.

Of course, that is only temporary. Once it develops to a certain level, it is not impossible to expand on a large scale.

Ron got up from the sofa, stretched, and walked out:
"As expected, I still prefer to engage in infrastructure construction, production, and then create more firepower. The bloodline is inherited..."

Drop drop drop.

A message came from Shahim:

"Savior, according to radar detection, a merchant fleet is secretly following our ship..."

He was eager to try: "I guess it's that woman's fleet. Should we get rid of them?"

It looks like the merchant spokesman, Nia Danda, is causing trouble.

Rogue traders walk on the gray edge all year round, and wars are common.

She was probably unhappy that Govendi, a member of the Imperial Blood family, dared to "betray" the alliance and join the Primarch's arms.

To surround the Govendi at this time clearly shows that they do not take the Primarch seriously, how arrogant they are.

Ron thought about it and shook his head.

"That guy won't be around for a few days. We don't have time to get entangled with her. We just need to speed up the warp and get rid of them.

We must return to Ers as soon as possible."

"Yes!"

Soon, Shasim followed the order and drove the Govindi and the frigate into the subspace jump.

However, not long after, the merchant fleet caught up again.

Ron frowned:

"It seems that their ships are also high-end, and they can also use relay stations to lock our location."

It is indeed easy to be tracked when you are active on the bright side of the empire.

He even wanted to transfer the Dream over to destroy this merchant fleet.

After hesitating for a moment, he gave up the idea.

After all, Nya Denda would soon be eliminated by Guilliman, and her merchant fleet would probably be taken over by the Empire at that time.

Providing transportation services for the Indomitable Expedition.

It's not cost-effective to blow up these high-end products.

Ron asked Shahim to avoid the relay station and continue to teleport.

After several jumps, the Govindi arrived at an area without a relay station and finally got rid of the merchant fleet.

……

The Govindi had just jumped out of the warp.

boom--

The sudden attack caused the ship to shake.

Inside the bridge.

Ron steadied himself and soon realized that it was an attack from an enemy ship!
He had a general idea of ​​the current situation.

When the Govendi jumped out of the warp, the Geller force field had just dissipated and the void shield had not yet been fully raised.

The enemy ships took the opportunity to launch a fierce attack.

"This ship's Geller field is overloaded, unable to jump!"

The surrounding wires were arcing and flickering, and the technical adjutant was operating on the panel and issuing a report.

At the same time, the technician in charge of the radar reported:

"Traces of the enemy have been found. Two cruisers. The emblems on the hulls show that they are... Chaos warships under the command of the Great Plunderer Abaddon!"

The words just fell.

The bridges were silent.

These young crew members have all received relevant education at Zhongsi College.

They obviously knew what a formidable opponent Abaddon the Despoiler was.

Now that the Geller field has been destroyed, it will be difficult for them to escape through the warp.

"Charge the void shield for defense, prepare to counterattack... Find the nearest webway entrance!"

As the captain, Shahim was not in a panic and issued one order after another.

Ron didn't say much.

His ability to command ships is not much better than those outstanding graduates who have studied in Zhongsi Academy for many years.

At this moment, he was more worried about Abaddon's attitude.

It is not a good thing to get into trouble with such a powerful opponent in the real universe.

That's not a big grudge.

Is it necessary to be so persistent in looking for me?

I just don't know whether this encounter was a coincidence or a deliberate ambush.

It feels like both are possible.

After all, Abaddon has a large number of Chaos wizards under his command, and they can even predict when Belisarius Cawl will go to rescue Guilliman.

They had just been moving continuously in the subspace, so it was normal for them to be found by those Chaos wizards.

But none of this matters. What matters is getting out of here as quickly as possible. It’s better to go out less often in the future.

Ron silently made a note of Abaddon's account in his mind.

I have to find an opportunity to snatch the Vigilance Star that Abaddon has been longing for, to make him angry to death!

Boom boom boom——

The light spear rays and torpedoes collided with each other.

The warships of both sides engaged in battle, with the Govindi fighting one against two and not losing the upper hand.

Ron frowned.

Abaddon's Chaos warships were very strong, and were clearly superior to the Red King's warships. It seemed that it would be difficult to determine the winner in the short term.

In this situation, you must not get entangled with them. If there are enemy reinforcements nearby, you will be in trouble.

Thoughts flashed by.

Sure enough, Shahim had the same idea.

After the technical adjutant found the nearest webway entrance, the Govendi immediately turned and headed towards the webway entrance at full speed.

However, two enemy Chaos warships caught up with them at a much faster speed.

Both sides continued to bombard.

The two warships were damaged in many places, but they did not slow down at all. Instead, they increased the speed of their charge.

It headed straight for the Govindi.

Ron frowned when he saw this scene. Those Chaos warriors wanted to board the ship!

This is a common tactic used by Chaos Warbands.

If those Chaos Space Marines were allowed to board the Govendi, the merchant guards would be unable to stop them.

The Govendi was getting closer and closer to the entrance of the webway, while the two Chaos warships following behind were also closing the distance.

Inside the bridge.

Shahim and the crew were very nervous, with cold sweat on their foreheads.

"It's okay, we can get to the webway before they hit us."

Ron estimated the approximate distance.

He patted Shahim's shoulder, signaling him not to be too nervous.

Having experienced so many wars, this situation now was just a mediocre scene for him.

whoosh-

A twisted passage appeared in the void in front of the Govindi.

That is the entrance to the Webway.

After the Ers Astronomican received the astronomical coordinate information sent by the Govendi, it immediately transferred the information to the Blackstone Throne.

Fortunately, this web portal entrance is registered and can be used.

The request to use the webway was quickly approved, and the Blackstone Throne opened the webway entrance.

Whoosh!
The Govendi rushed towards the entrance and disappeared with the distortion of space before being hit by the Chaos battleship.

However, the two warships did not stop at all and rushed forward.

Disappeared in this airspace together.

Then the Webway closed, leaving only the desolate void.

It didn't take long.

boom--

Accompanied by a strong distortion of space, an unimaginably huge ship crashed out.

On the dark and ferocious hull of the ship is an enormous doomsday cannon.

That is the flagship of the planet killer, Abaddon the Despoiler!
This is a terrifying and horrifying battleship, and the shadow it brings with it is enough to conquer any star region that dares to resist.

Because of the power of the Doomsday Cannon, it can easily penetrate the crust of any planet outside the atmosphere and hit the core of the planet.

The entire civilized world will be torn into pieces in violent geological movements!

At least dozens of planets were destroyed by it.

The Planet Killer slowly stopped and began to search the nearby airspace.

But apart from some debris of ships and shells, they found nothing.

Inside the bridge.

The hideous shadow stood there like a moving fortress.

"Demon Eater!"

Along with an unwilling, hoarse and terrifying voice, the scarlet eyes suddenly lit up.

Staring straight into the void before your eyes.

The further aggravation of the Great Rift has made the activities of the Great Predators more frequent.

……

Inside the network.

whoosh-

The Govindi appeared, moving forward at full speed.

Behind it, two Chaos warships came up, with the nearly 300-meter-long ramming horns on their bows looking ferocious, and were about to ram it.

Inside the Chaos Battleship.

The ragged, dirty and corrupt crew members controlled the warship to accelerate continuously, seemingly not worrying at all about the consequences after the two ships collided.

Roar--

In the alloy cabin with ferocious horns, hundreds of Chaos Space Marines roared.

They were filled with murderous intent and couldn't wait to board the ship and tear apart all living things.

No one can stop the Chaos Warriors' attack!
Inside the bridge of the Govindi.

Ron looked quietly at the ship's radar panel. The enemy's Chaos warship was catching up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It will collide with the Govindi in about thirty seconds. With the Govindi's speed, there is absolutely no way it can escape.

However, he did not feel nervous at all.

Since those Chaos Warriors like to board and fight so much, let's do it!
He just likes to entertain these stubborn guys.

Ron was counting down in his mind.

as time flows.

Even in the bridge, one could feel the chaotic aura approaching and about to hit.

coming!

Ron's eyes lit up.

boom--

When the Chaos Warriors' anticipation and excitement reached their peak, the battleship suddenly suffered a violent collision.

The entire ship shook violently and almost turned over.

Just now, two strange-looking warships rushed out from the side of the webway and crashed into them without any defensive measures.

The violent collision caused damage to the ships of both sides and huge gaps appeared in the hulls.

The sudden impact caused the corrupted crew members in the Chaos battleship to fall to the ground, and some unlucky guys' skulls hit the wall and exploded.

They are terrified by this.

The Chaos Warriors' excited roars also came to an abrupt halt.

However, this is not over yet.

Amid countless fearful gazes.

Those ugly warships miraculously turned over on the spot, and then rammed into us again like dump trucks.

Boom!

The two Chaos warships were rammed again and were pinned against the Webway's barriers, unable to move.

The shaking stops.

As soon as the Chaos Warriors got up, they saw a green tide surging towards them.

Waaagh——

The green-skinned orc leader, Bone Gnawer Steelfang, pounced over and clamped the head of a Chaos warrior with his huge pincers.

Hammer hard.

Until it was beaten into a pulp of meat mixed with armor fragments.

More greenskins roared and attacked, overwhelming the Chaos Warriors...

Inside the bridge.

Ron withdrew his gaze, as if everything was expected.

It is better to leave professional matters to professionals.

Obviously, those green-skinned orcs knew how to ram and fight better than the Chaos warriors.

When he released the Chaos warships into the Webway, their grim fate was sealed.

The number of greenskins in the webway is overwhelming, and no one can defeat Luo Ge in the webway!

The Govindi continued on its way.

In the webway behind it, more and more greenskin warships surrounded the Chaos warship, and the greenskins jumped into the Chaos warship like flying men.

At the same time, more greenskin engineering machinery began to approach the ship for dismantling, fearing that the iron sheets and spare parts would be snatched away by other greenskins.

It wasn't long before the Chaos battleship was completely destroyed.

The greenskins seized parts of Chaos warships and the corpses of Chaos warriors and loaded them onto their own ships.

Then he boarded the ship and sped away.
-
Two months later.

Spire Mansion, balcony.

Ron leaned against the fence, overlooking the peaceful and harmonious territory, feeling quite comfortable.

The vision of Holy Terra in his mind and the scenery before him made him feel as if he were in another world.

It’s better to have your own territory...

Full sense of security.

The turmoil caused by the expansion of the Great Rift has subsided.

After taking back the missionary rights and the Imperial Blood Trade License from Holy Terra, the state religion and trade departments began to get busy.

The state religion joined forces with the Star Torch Court to bring a large number of pilgrims on ships to the holy land for worship.

At the same time, the Holy Book of Salvation and the way to contact the Holy Land were given to the pilgrims to spread to other devout pilgrims.

Spread the glory of the Savior to more places.

When pilgrims contact the Astronomican, they must undergo several tests before they can receive the Astronomican's navigation guidance.

Then, under the guidance of the Star Torch, the pilgrim ship will arrive at a clear area filled with defense arrays. Only after confirming that it is safe can it enter the airport and head to the holy land.

The traveling merchant sector also organized more caravans and began to try to develop shipping routes.

In order to start trade in the future and sell Ers' weapons and goods.

As the situation in the galaxy became increasingly tense, Ron accelerated the pace of armed construction.

The Military Affairs Department has launched a new round of military expansion to increase the number of new army groups and space marines.

A large number of psychic automated weapons manufacturing factories have been put into operation on the Moon Forge World.

What is a bit troublesome is the formation of the fleet.

Given the scale of ship construction, it is difficult to expand quickly, but fortunately there is a solution to this problem.

The number of ships lost in the Warp is unimaginable.

Ron planned to go there directly to pull back some hulls and ship-borne weapons for modification.

But what gave him even more headaches was the technological development in the territory.

This is difficult to break through in a short period of time.

The research and transformation of the Dreadnought, Imperial Knight, and Titan has encountered a bottleneck.

Existing technology cannot support the transformation to make it semi-automatic.

Originally, he wanted to use these semi-automated war engines as his flagship products, but unfortunately they have not been put into practice yet.

If we want to develop technology rapidly now, we may have to get some technology from the Mechanicus.

After all, they have accumulated and collected technical knowledge for tens of thousands of years, many of which they have never used and have sealed away as forbidden knowledge.

However, getting those Imperial oil guys to share knowledge is probably more difficult than killing them.

It’s hard to do...

Ron had a headache.

He slapped his head and said, "Forget it. When in doubt, just go to the subspace!"

Instead of worrying about it, it’s better to go to the subspace to salvage ships and pick up garbage.

What if you pick up a complete STC that no one wants, or an intelligent computer from the golden age?
That would be rich!

Ron turned back to the bedroom and lay down on the soft big bed.

He closed his eyes, and his consciousness dived into the subspace, possessing the little sun.

Subspace card drawing, start!!!
