The next day, following a report from a servant, the Inquisition's Rebellion Order discovered the forged Golden Throne and the fake Shinichi Armor in the underground chamber of Ultramar's Grand Admiral Wagner Eberon Civitas' private residence.

Marshal Wagner himself was found dead, and the eight bullet holes on the back of his body were considered strong evidence of his private belief in the evil god Khorne by the 'Holy Hammer Order' in the Inquisition Hall, which specializes in dealing with the threat of Chaos.

The marshal's body was later professionally identified by high-ranking inquisitor Favonis as a suicide due to fear of crime.

After Wagner committed suicide, the political faction headed by him was also purged. The representative figure was the leader who had declared the 13th Expedition Fleet to be excommunicated and rebellious, and tried his best to prevent the L-Stargate network from being laid in the Ultramar star field. Conservative Mechanicus Travins.

Travens was accused of having weak faith in the God of All Machines, and the Inquisition suspected that he had some unexplained relationship with the 'Clay Artist', the electronic evil god worshiped by the Forge World of Antarx, which betrayed the Empire.

There are so many kinds. Under Guilliman's thunderous wrist, there was soon only one voice left in the Ultramar Star Territory.

This bloody purge once again caused an uproar in the already unstable political arena of Ultramar. Many people with a keen sense of smell smelled something unusual from Guilliman's operations. Most of the officials who were purged seemed to have something in common that could not be explained... The Primarch seemed to be interested in getting closer to the Star Bombers and the Human Federation.

And when the news of Marshal Wagner's death was finally sent to the front line in the miniature galaxy by the Logistics Department of the Order of Truth due to Guilliman's repeated requests, and reached the ears of the Star Bombers, Russell's reaction to this was:

"Who is Wagner?"

Gray Wind retrieved his memory, and then said: "It seems to be the commander of Ultramar's naval fleet. I have dealt with him... Oh, I remember, I was the one who invaded Ultramar when the second ether giant worm invaded Ultramar. When I arrived, I asked Macragge if he needed support, but was scolded by him."

"That's it, then it's good to die."

"Very good." Gray Wind nodded in agreement and said, "In addition to the news of Wagner's death, there is also a request from Robert Guilliman among the news that was transmitted."

"What request?" Russell asked.

"Although the ether giant Jörmungandr has been eliminated, the Tyranid War is far from over. Based on various signs, Guilliman determines that more hive fleets will invade the galaxy in the future, and the empire's military strength gap It’s getting bigger.”

Gray Wind clapped his fingers and said: "Terra is still out of contact. The Sun Star Territory is surrounded by countless greenskins. Guilliman intends to organize a fleet to personally conquer the Sun Star Territory and relieve the siege of Terra, but he is worried about himself. After taking away the main fleet, the Zerg invaded again."

"So what does he mean?"

"Guilliman hopes that our insect-killing fleet stationed in the Parmenio system can cooperate with the remaining defenders of Ultramar after he leaves to jointly defend against the next wave of Tyranid invasion," Gray Wind said. .

Russell was stunned for a moment, "We have a fleet stationed in Parmenio?"

"Yes." Gray Feng nodded, "There are 8,000 battleships alone."

"Ah this..."

In the end, Russell did not choose to recall the fleet stationed in Parmenio to join the battle in the miniature galaxy, but handed over the use of this fleet to Guilliman's own arrangement - I believe this will give Guilliman a headache. For a while, because there is not even a single crew member in these thousands of warships.

Russell continued to devote his energy to the war in the central star field of the miniature galaxy.

As the front advances, the resistance encountered by the Federation Navy during the invasion becomes more and more powerful. Powerful star bases of the 'Sky Castle' level begin to appear frequently. These armed fortresses equipped with ultra-long-range strike weapons are often in the Federation Navy's fleet. It will react before entering the corresponding galaxy's gravity well range and quickly launch a beyond-visual-range strike against the Federation's fleet.

The Federation Navy, which is accustomed to fighting against the short-handed Eldar and Necron fleets, suffered heavy losses in the initial contact with the core defense force of the warring party C. Every time a Sky Fortress is destroyed, it takes anywhere from a few ships to more than a dozen ships. The huge cost of waiting for the battleships caused the federal soldiers who were used to fighting generational wars to suffer from low morale for the first time.

If the morale of the army is quantified into something like war exhaustion, the war exhaustion of my group of people must have skyrocketed now... This is what Russell originally thought.

But later it turned out that the sacrifice of several dozen warships did not dampen the army's enthusiasm for combat at all. The temporarily low morale quickly rebounded at an incredible speed, even higher than during the early tailwinds. The federal soldiers were under the threat of death. He didn't feel timid at all, but became more courageous as he fought. This inexplicable fighting spirit made Gray Feng a little confused for a while.

It was not until later that Russell finally figured out where the particularly high fighting spirit of these tough men in the fleet came from.

——Because the enemies we are directly at war with are synthetic humans produced by the warring party C.

The deformed system of the out-of-control servitors seriously stimulated the Iron Man rebellion PTSD of humans in this universe. The decayed and decadent appearance of the organic furnishings kept in the ideal city by the synthetic human servitors made them feel deep fear, and the fear was then overwhelming. anger. Therefore, there is no such thing as war exhaustion. Even if there is only one person left alive in the fleet, he will never take a step back in the war with Iron Man. The extreme thought and decisive action made Russell call him a good guy.

After the tragic losses in the early stage, the Federation Navy gradually became familiar with fighting enemies whose technological level was equal to or even higher than its own. The time required to capture the Sky Castle and the loss of battleships were reduced, and the sharply rising battle loss ratio also began to be alleviated. . But as the battle line got closer to the center of the miniature galaxy, the intensity of the enemy forces they encountered increased exponentially. Battlecruisers equipped with mass-destructive weapons such as shaped arcs and tachyon lances began to appear in clusters, and the Titan ships also began to appear. It was dragged out of the old shipyard.

The soft flesh on the periphery of the miniature galaxy has been chewed, and now comes the really tough bones.

When the forward fleet under Russell's personal command broke through the dense firepower network woven by the Sky Castle and the battle patrol formation, and broke into a galaxy called 'Tesrus Focus', something unexpected appeared on the deep space sensor. within the detection range, attracting the attention of everyone in the fleet.

After identifying the identity of the building, even Russell and Gray Wind couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

It was a giant man-made building running in the orbit of a gas giant planet. It was as big as an asteroid. There were four pairs of independent auxiliary wings hanging outside the huge core structure. The data and light spots were in the precise mechanical structure. flow between grooves. The operation of the singularity reactor in the hub center caused a strange gravitational distortion phenomenon, pulling the magnificent ring of the gas giant planet below the orbit crookedly.

This is not a space military facility because it is not equipped with any form of anti-ship weapons. However, senior officers of the Federation Navy are no strangers to the appearance and structure of this building, because the Order of Truth has also been preparing to build a giant structure similar to it in recent years:

This is a -'science hub'.
