Chapter 2936 Tyranid Structure
Hearing that Soshyan advanced Rozim, Ustad didn’t know what it meant for a while. After thinking for a few seconds, he answered ambiguously:
"Rozim is a good person, although sometimes."
"These are things we must endure. Don't use our standards to demand them. This is inappropriate and unreasonable. When we want When taking away something from them, you can try to make them feel more comfortable. This is not weakness or indulgence, it is just a necessary compromise for human nature."
"I'm sorry. I let you down. Chapter leader.”
Soshyan walked over and put his hand on Ustad's shoulder.
"What you did is not bad, but it can be better. As the legion grows stronger, it has become difficult for me to do everything personally. I hope you can share my worries and leave the Obsidian Fortress. There are not many people left. You are all the pillars of the future of the legion, and you are the one I value most. "
"Leader, I am afraid that I will live up to your expectations."
"If you're afraid, just study and improve, so that you can become more capable and no longer afraid."
After receiving Soshiyan's encouragement, Ustad cheered up again and nodded vigorously.
"I will!"
"Well, you will still be responsible for the next series of things to connect with the state religion. This time they are very generous. At least there should be no problem of material supply in the cardinal world. Yes, Faith Watch is also sponsored by them, so there will be no problem. The rest of the archdiocese can only take its time. A huge fleet will arrive soon. You first go to convene a meeting with the deacons to discuss everything. By the way, the berths in the port area must be arranged in advance. In addition, this fleet must be kept secret. They will not have any marks. You must also make arrangements for this.”
“Yes!”
After concluding the meeting with Ustad, Soshyan found the Lord of Fort Vidrian who had just concluded his investigation against Tyran.
When the two met again, the atmosphere was actually a bit tense and awkward, but fortunately Soshyan was not the kind of person who insisted on saving face. He took the initiative to admit to Vidrian that he was too impulsive at the time and apologized. Lord Vidrian Fortress was surprised. After all, in the Astartes culture, admitting one's mistake was something that might be more difficult than death.
Not only that, Soshyan also gave the other party a gift, a ritual shield made from the skull of a Tyranid brainworm. This rare and extremely dangerous Tyranid creature has not been encountered a few times in the entire empire, Vidry Lord An was even more surprised when he saw this thing. Soshyan told him that he had killed it himself as an apology for tearing off his shoulder armor last time.
Lord Vidrian accepted the gift happily, and the previous conflict between the two was considered to be settled. Vidrian then shared the results of their investigation with Soshyan.
Actually, there is nothing too new. It is just that these Tyranids contain an extraordinary amount of sulfide, and their devouring cycle is much longer than that of the average Tyranid Hive Fleet, because their Capillary towers appear to penetrate deep into the earth's crust and absorb various metallic elements. But one thing concerned Soshyan.
It was on the Sondheim 5 that had been swallowed up that the Death Watch infiltration team led by Vidrian personally discovered an anomaly. The planet’s atmosphere did not seem to have been erased. , and the entire planet's surface was shrouded in thick clouds of spores. When they ventured into the planet's surface, they discovered something shocking.
The planet did not become a dead world. Instead, there were a large number of strange landforms composed of chitin, tentacles and spore towers. There were also many clusters on the ground that could shoot out thorns, but strangely there were no Tyranids. shadow.
While the reconnaissance team was carefully investigating the situation on the planet, they discovered a terrifying thing. It was a giant cone-shaped structure with a height of more than one thousand meters, made of chitin and soft brains. Composed of flesh, you can see with the naked eye that the surroundings are filled with huge subspace power. Just getting close will give the Space Marines a splitting headache. Then a large number of newly hatched Tyranids directly drilled out of the holes opened in the ground. Death Watch They could only take a few photos in a hurry before evacuating, and the spacecraft was even attacked by biological plasma that came to the ground when it left orbit.
This thing is very strange. After all, Tai Lun has always eaten wherever he goes, and has never engaged in such "construction" behavior.
However, Soshyan then thought of one thing. There was a hive fleet codenamed Timitea that seemed to have this behavior. The legendary ranger Nightspear even personally investigated it, but Soshyan said that Timitia After the Mitya Hive Fleet, Vidrian said that he had also thought of this. The Watch Fortress Stasis Trench sent out killing teams more than once to try to destroy this creation, but they all ended in failure. The psychic energy emitted by this thing was too powerful.
Soshiyan then made a guess that this thing was probably a "lighthouse" or "signal tower".
The Cerberus Hive Fleet and the Timite Hive Fleet may both play the same role - scouts for the larger Hive Fleet. Once they find a target worth devouring, they will immediately build this kind of The lighthouse attracts unimaginable swarms of insects here with precision.
Such a conjecture made both Soshyan and Vidrian tremble with fear. To be able to use a force as large as the Cerberus Hive Fleet as a scout, what kind of terrifying scale and power must be behind it?
Soshyan immediately decided to send a fleet to surprise Sondheim 5 and use the most powerful bipolar torpedo to directly collapse the planet!
But Vidrian told Soshyan that this might not work, because after discovering this thing, he made a similar judgment, but there was no Extermination Order weapon on board at the time, so he could only turn back and stay. At the capital ship of another galaxy - because of the fear of being discovered by the Tyranid fleet, the fleet did not dare to get too close to the galaxy and could only send out a small ship.
But after returning to the fleet, Vidrian was dumbfounded. The astropath and the navigator told him that a strong subspace storm was forming in this area. If they didn't leave quickly, it was likely that He couldn't leave. At the same time, the scan also showed that a Tyranid fleet was approaching here. Realizing that the Tyranids were already prepared, Vidrian wanted to risk his life, but after thinking about it, he gave up. At that time, he Thinking that there will be opportunities later, Tai Lun will always let down his guard.
But as several months passed, although the subspace storm dissipated, a more terrifying subspace shadow appeared. Now nearly half of the star sector was shrouded in the subspace shadow, and the navigators said that there was no need to carry out a subspace jump. , now they can't even see the road, and can't go to that place at all, and "sail" from the nearest subspace node that can jump to Sondheim 5, at the speed of the imperial ship in the real universe, at least Decades, or even hundreds of years.
