Solar Sector, Solar System, Pluto, Hersonic Gate
“We have finally arrived, the Solar System, the cradle of humanity, the heart of the Empire.”
< br>Although he was mentally prepared, when a series of flashing spots appeared in the distance of the observation window, Soshyan's heart could not stop surging.
Not only him, but all the warriors, as well as the warriors of all other battleships, gathered near the observation window, carefully and curiously watching the gradually enlarging outline of the galaxy and the pale planet-Pluto and its of several satellites.
As the rising generation of the Milky Way, human beings came out of this small star system. After countless hardships and hardships, they finally became a large family that cannot be ignored in the Milky Way. Although the long night almost destroyed human civilization, But another great leader came out of the solar system and made mankind glorious again.
The solar system is great because of Terra, and Terra is great because of the Emperor, so any devout believer in the state religion, if they have the opportunity and ability, will definitely make a pilgrimage to Terra.
Due to the key position of the capital of the empire, the solar system has naturally become the star system with the highest population density and the busiest shipping routes in the empire. As the outermost planet of the solar system, Pluto is not only the gateway to the entire star system, but also the main The subspace jump point of You need to jump into the physical universe here, corresponding to Uranus, which is the main passage out of the solar system.
Right around the fleet of the Astral Knights, you can see batches of ships that have just left the subspace jump node and are moving along the channel. Among them are gorgeous merchant ships and huge pilgrim ships. Or there are round-shaped transport ships and warships with fierce muzzles, which fill the entire void channel. It can be said that thousands of sails are competing and hundreds of teams are vying for the current. The scene is extremely spectacular.
After experiencing the Great Rebellion and the Beast War, the Empire attached great importance to the defense of the solar system, making the current defense network of the solar system and its surroundings the most powerful defensive star system in human history. From the hugeness of the moon The orbital fortress group, to the fortress group in the layers of hydrogen clouds on Jupiter, to the deep space star fortress in the halo star belt, in order to protect the sacred solar system, the empire has established hundreds, thousands or even more inside and outside the solar system. , an extremely large defensive fortress group, and deployed billions of weapon systems pointing into the deep space, ready to instantly evaporate any idiot who tries to challenge the dominance of the human galaxy.
In addition, there are entire space fleets that are constantly patrolling and defending between these fortress networks, not letting go of any potential threats that may threaten the solar system, and being ready to support the entire defense system at any time. They are also Collectively known as the Sun Fleet, it can also be said to be the most powerful fleet in the empire.
It can be said that in most cases, the defense of the solar system is almost impeccable.
"Chapter Commander"
At this time, the voice of the communications officer suddenly came through the brass speaker.
“A signal with high-level naval authority sent a message that they were going to board and inspect every ship.”
Soshyan immediately looked back and frowned.
"Who are they?"
"Their label is. Sun Watch."
Soshyan had never heard of this name, so he immediately summoned Feisal, When the other party heard that it was Sun Watch, he quickly explained to Soshyan:
“This is a battle group of the Forbidden Army.”
"Forces? Shouldn't they all stay in the palace?"
"Chapter Commander, you don't know something. Although the defense system of the solar system is very powerful, it is still composed of mortals after all. Facing cunning and terrifying enemies , there is always the possibility of being broken through. Therefore, the most powerful part of the entire Terra peripheral defense system is not these seemingly powerful fortress networks, but the Forbidden Army from Sun Watch. This is a group of several shield guards. A large group of companies whose members are sworn to defend the Throne World's outer defenses, seeing themselves as the palace's first line of defense to ensure as much as possible that enemies cannot get close to the solar system and sacred Terra. To this end, they They will regularly patrol the entire solar system, as well as the surrounding star systems and the routes between a large number of deep space facilities, so as to clear and search for various dangers and potential dangers. They are also considered to be one of the few forbidden troops that outsiders can occasionally see. . ”
But this did not convince Soshyan.
"But aren't there two Imperial Guards on the ship? Can't they be allowed to communicate on their own? The Astartes will not accept the insult of boarding the ship to search." Feisal suddenly looked embarrassed, and he rubbed his hands Hand, said euphemistically:
“That’s actually the case”
"Envoy Feisal, this is my bottom line. If I have to search, I would rather not accept any honor and order the fleet to turn around and leave."
"This, this, no, you Don't be so extreme, actually-"
"I'm not too extreme, didn't you hear that my tone was calm?"
Soshyan asked Feisal in a calm voice? Heart-stopping words.
"I'm just conveying my decision to you. This is a decision, not a threat, nor a temptation. You and I have been together for a while, and I believe you should be familiar with my style."
After hesitating for a moment, Faisal said, He whispered:
"Wait a moment, wait a moment."
Soshyan nodded and said nothing. Faisal left in a hurry. Soshyan guessed that he was probably Go and communicate with the two mysterious forbidden soldiers who basically never leave the cabin.
About ten minutes later, Faisal returned to the bridge with a nervous expression.
"Captain Soshyan, we have communicated over there that they will not board the ship for inspection again, but"
"Please tell me if you have anything to say."
"The shield guard company The captain wants to board the ship to see you in person."
Soshiyang blinked and then spread his hands.
“How can I, a Chapter Master, refuse the invitation of the Custodes? I immediately ordered the Eternal Loyalty to open the flight deck. But I am curious, why are they using the navy’s signal channel?”
"Sun Watch basically does not have its own ships. Most of the time, it is deployed on navy ships or interstellar trade ships."
Soshiyang nodded thoughtfully.
"Understood, then please ask the shield captain to come here and explain."
At the same time, the news that the imperial army was coming to the flagship also quickly spread among the soldiers, many Out of curiosity, people ran to the bridge to observe. After all, the Forbidden Forces were almost the same as myths. Even Li Lin dragged Sablin and other companions to the Eternal Loyalty.
While everyone was waiting, the main door of the bridge slowly rose with a roar. In the warm light, a group of towering giants holding halberds, wearing golden armor and black robes slowly emerged. Slowly walking in, they are taller than most space warriors, and their steps are neat and tidy every second they land. The towering pointed helmets and red tassels are the most conspicuous symbols. Everyone is wearing a helmet, and every one of them is wearing a helmet. The front of the helmet is engraved with a golden eagle, and there is also a warrior holding a golden eagle flag.
