Chapter 757 Dwarf
Above Holy Terra, the Lost Souls Bell rang for the victims. It rang for a long time, like a mourning for the loss of a legion, but all those familiar with the matter knew that this time the Lost Souls Bell The sound is not played for the Astartes, but for the huge star fortress and the hundreds of thousands of mortals who died within it.
News of the fall of the Sun Fortress has reached Holy Terra. People feel extremely sad for this news. In their view, this huge Star Fortress, the flagship of the 21st Legion, is the symbol of the revival expedition and the The symbol of the 21st Legion, and now its fall has shocked the entire empire. Some extreme people even think that this is the beginning of the failure of the Renaissance Expedition. Some people 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 felt sad from the bottom of their hearts for the fall of the sacred star fortress. They kept cursing and cursing those who destroyed the sun. All the people in the fortress, the archenemy, are grieving. They think this is a huge loss for the 21st Legion, and all kinds of people have their own ideas about this matter.
Each legion sent a message of condolences to the 21st Legion, and the high lords of the empire immediately began to think about whether they needed to express their attitude to Wang Ming. After all, this was a very sensitive matter. The flagship of the 21st Legion fell, which definitely dealt a huge blow to the 21st Legion. The strength of the 21st Legion will inevitably be weakened. During this time, will Wang Ming doubt? They want to cause trouble.
It's no wonder that the high lords would think this way. After all, they looked at the corpses of the former high lords on the ceiling, and they had to think about this issue.
Among these high lords, the Casting General of Mars is already more uneasy than others. He is very calm. He has not done anything that violates the contract between the 21st Legion and Mars, nor has he done anything. When Wang Ming launched the second revival expedition, Mars positioned himself correctly. They understood that the 21st Legion could make the empire completely unnecessary for Mars. Mars must show Wang Ming his value. .
Moreover, the Foundry General has begun to think about how to get the wreckage of the Sun 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 "Mars Mechanicus and the 20th Legion" "First Corps Scientific and Technological Assistance Agreement", the 21st Corps is the party providing assistance, so can he use the reason of technical assistance to ask Wang Ming to provide them with some wreckage of the Sun Fortress?
Some people in the Tribunal were very happy about this news. They believed that this was an opportunity. With the help of this opportunity, they could bring the 21st Legion, the initiator of the Renaissance Expedition, back to the control of the Empire. In the eyes, the 21st Legion is a completely uncontrollable legion. Their degree of independence has reached a level that cannot be tolerated. As long as they want to rebel, they will definitely destroy the entire human empire.
But just when these guys were about to cause trouble, Astartes wearing silver armor found them one by one. They found the hiding place of the inquisitors, and then took them all like little chickens. After being taken out, these judges still wanted to resist, but all resistance was in vain. After all, even if they were experienced judges, they could not fight against the Astartes.
Moreover, their actions this time were obviously involving the Imperial Guards. When the judges looked at the Sisters of Silence and the Imperial Guards wearing golden armor, they were completely desperate.
It's just that the problem of the Inquisitor is not the biggest problem. The biggest problem is the spread of the news. After a large number of revival expedition squadrons knew the news, all kinds of negative emotions came out, and they began to have negative feelings about the revival. Doubts arose about the conduct of the expedition.
This is not because the soldiers have psychological problems. The main reason is that the 21st Legion is too powerful in their eyes, as if everything about them is invincible. But now the flagship of the 21st Legion is How could they have doubts about this war when they were destroyed by the enemy.
Just when the members of the Renaissance Expedition Squadron were more or less in negative moods, the Second Renaissance Expedition, which had just returned to the Empire at the edge of the Black Territory of the Galaxy, went to the industrial world belonging to the 21st Legion to supply supplies. The fleet also received the news, and they didn't have much opinion on the news. Wang Xiaofa also smiled and comforted the planetary governor of this world, as well as the worried Imperial Fist instructors stationed in the company above this world.
He made them believe in Wang Ming and the 21st Legion. The destruction of the Sun Fortress was not a huge loss. Although the fall of the Sun Fortress was so unacceptable to the empire, in fact, it was For the 21st Legion, the fall of the Sun Fortress was just the fall of a flagship. In Wang Ming's opinion, the value of this flagship was not as good as those of the dead mortal auxiliary troops.
However, after Wang Ming learned about the current situation within the empire, he still made all responses. As the response of the 21st Legion was conveyed to the empire, among their news, there was a new huge starship. The Star Castle appeared in their fleet. It was a Star Castle that looked even bigger than the Sun Fortress. He was driving quietly in the void above the pictures sent back by the 21st Legion. , beside him, those huge starships with a length of tens of kilometers were like ants.
This is the response of the 21st Legion to everyone. The fall of the Sun Fortress did not cause much loss to the 21st Legion. Those powerful enemies were completely unable to defeat the 21st Legion, and they were even less able to defeat the Empire. The revival expedition is still going on. No matter how crazy the Chaos enemies are, they cannot pose any threat to the empire's revival expedition. The fall of a sun fortress does not mean anything. If it is the only thing it can represent Something that makes humans hate those enemies of chaos even more.
Hate those heretics, it was they who caused the Sun Fortress to fall. Revenge for the former Sun Fortress, and avenge the symbol of this revival expedition. Human consciousness will never be defeated, and the horn of revenge has been sounded.
After receiving this news, this news was quickly conveyed to all the Renaissance Expedition Squadrons. After learning this news, those soldiers who were more or less suspicious of the Renaissance Expedition, It also completely dispelled the doubts in my heart. Nothing happened to the 21st Legion. The fall of the Sun Fortress did not cause any losses to them. How could this not boost the morale of those soldiers?
For a moment, revenge for the Sun Fortress became a war cry from the expeditionary force, resounding in countless worlds. They hated the enemies of Chaos even more, and the Chaos cults in those worlds were also very confused. Yes, the morale of the imperial troops was not that high a few days ago. Why did these guys rush up shouting revenge or something? What is going on?
At the same time, in a galaxy in the center of the Milky Way, a huge fleet was completing the blockade of this galaxy.
"Block the subspace channels, and then trap these guys in this galaxy and force them to communicate with us." Wang Ming looked at the scanned image of a galaxy on the holographic projection screen, and he had an idea of the dwarves in that world. In such a state of affairs, for Wang Ming, those dwarves must accept contact with the empire. Wang Ming also wants to know why those dwarves run desperately every time they see the battleships of the 21st Legion. , what on earth do they have that scares these dwarves?
After receiving Wang Ming's order, the fleet immediately started working. The fleet immediately blocked the Mandeville Point in the entire galaxy, and then slowly approached the world where the dwarves were mining. Regarding contact with the dwarves, Wang Ming hoped that they could show some tough attitudes. After all, these dwarves were notoriously stubborn, the kind who would not give up until they saw the Yellow River, and would not shed tears until they saw the coffin.
When facing them, they had to show absolute pressure. What surprised Wang Ming was that, in fact, they did not start any contact. The dwarves felt the pressure. When they saw the imperial fleet, In an instant, he is ready to start his own ship and run away, and even very rarely, he doesn't even need the mines. This is not the style of the dwarves, so how can he not need it? What about the things they have come to identify as their own?
Outrageous, strange, this thing is too weird, and Wang Ming actually had expectations for this situation, but in his expectations, those dwarves would definitely run away with their mines. , but now these guys are so scared that they don’t even want mines anymore. Things are really too weird.
But overall, this matter is not a big problem. Anyway, the entire galaxy has been blocked, and they have no place to run. When the time comes, they can just stop them and ask them directly.
But before going to block those dwarves, let's deal with all the Necrons in this world first. 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 has any thoughts of fighting the Necrons. He can just blow them up while they are still in dormant mode. Fighting with these guys is completely time-consuming and labor-intensive. Their most important task at the moment is Just contact those space dwarves, not It was to take care of the Necrons above this world, and as the star-destroying weapon of the new star fort was aimed at this world, a terrifying energy beam was also shot from the star-destroying weapon. Wang Ming also Without giving these Necron 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 the world, instantly turning it into a huge and bright space firework, which instantly exploded into lumps of interstellar matter.
After seeing such a scene, those space dwarves ran away faster, and even wanted to turn on the sub-light speed engine and rush directly outside the galaxy. They already knew that Mandeville Point was blocked, so now they just want to Trying to escape the pursuit of the fleet, but how is 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 spoke to the artificial intelligence of Nova Castle, and then the fleet immediately started the curvature engine. Under the acceleration close to the speed of light, they came almost in the blink of an eye. Arriving at the ships of the dwarves.
"Captain Wang Ming, I just checked the data streams sent by those ships. They may indeed owe us a debt..."
And just when Wang Ming was staring at those dwarf battleships, thinking about how similar their design styles were to the human federation, the holographic projection of Star Castle's artificial intelligence suddenly appeared beside him, and then used her... A girl's voice said something to Wang Ming that was absolutely impossible for artificial intelligence to say, because the uncertainty and emotional fluctuations in the words were too obvious.
After Wang Ming heard her words, he immediately turned his head. He stared at the holographic projection of the artificial intelligence. His golden pupils were full of doubts. When did the data calculation of artificial intelligence become like this? Inaccurate?
Just when Wang Ming wanted to ask questions to the artificial intelligence, a holographic projection screen suddenly appeared in front of Wang Ming, and on the holographic projection screen, there was a long list of various financial statements and various information. The data even has the approval document from the Human Federation, this loan document, and it is a very large loan.
The zeros that had just entered those numbers even made Wang Ming a little confused. Wang Ming didn't even understand for a while. What did this mean? Of course, when the voice of artificial intelligence appeared in Wang Ming's ears again, Wang Ming finally understood.
As we all know, Wang Ming's current fleet seems to be composed of a large number of federal ships and a small number of imperial ships, and among these federal warships, there is a large amount of federal data, and the Sun-class Star Castle, as the federal fleet flagship, has There is more information than those on other battleships, and among these information, there is a large amount of federal government information, as well as all kinds of strange information, and among these strange information, there are countless pieces of information from The loans given by the human federation to various enterprises in various golden ages.
The Human Federation encourages galactic development, and the interest rates on those loans are naturally very low. After thousands of years, the interest rates on these loans have reached a very scary level, and these were the mining companies that went to the center of the galaxy. The dwarves who are descendants of the dwarves should have inherited this loan for their ancestors, and through some special things on those dwarf ships, the fleet's artificial intelligence can also tell who the ancestors of those dwarves are. Which company.
