Chapter 3041 Through the Storm
“Your Highness, Nathan’s side is safe. The Avesta and the Abyss-class defeated the fleet of Nurgle followers and the enemy’s lackeys. Eidolon and Typhons and others also retreated from the orbit of Nessen 4. "
In the secret meeting room of an Oberon-class battleship belonging to Zhao Akada, Soshyan saw the invisible spirit bone. The Golden Feather Guard wears a short cloak of golden feathers on his right shoulder. Since most of the battleships of the chapter are on the front line, Soshyan can only take the battleships of the Mechanicum when going back and forth.
Hearing the news, Soshyan breathed a sigh of relief.
But after learning of the massive Tyran invasion, he immediately mobilized fleets, especially the Silent Fleet of the State Church, to support them. However, something went wrong while navigating through subspace.
That's right, it's something that all ships in the Empire that have been in service for a long time have experienced - subspace storms.
The subspace is a very difficult to understand area. One of its most significant features is that it will form an incomprehensible and destructive storm in an area without warning or reason. This is Like storms on the sea, when a ship passes through these storms, in the best case, it may be blown off course and appear thousands of light-years away from the target, or simply run to the unknown territory of the galaxy,
The unlucky ones are directly trapped in the subspace in despair and become bait for the dark creatures living in the subspace.
The duration of the subspace storm itself is also difficult to determine. Some are only a few days or a few months, but it may also be centuries.
According to statistics from the Imperial Merchant Fleet, in the 41st millennium alone, there were more than four million reports of missing ships of various types throughout the Empire, half of which were lost in subspace storms. middle.
The key point is that the power of this "supernatural phenomenon" is extremely huge. No matter you are the heroic Chapter Leader of the Astartes, a mechanical sage who has mastered countless high-tech technologies, or a marshal with thousands of troops, It's just a speck of dust in front of it, and whether it survives depends entirely on luck.
Throughout the history of the Empire, there are many horrific cases of entire expeditionary armies, or even entire battle groups, perishing in warp storms.
However, the appearance of this thing is entirely a matter of probability. Except for certain specific areas, Soshyan has never encountered a subspace storm in so many years as a space warrior, not even a star. According to the World Knights' own historical records, the chapter only encountered three subspace storms, one of which resulted in the complete loss of a company.
As a subspace, the Storm Star Territory does not have frequent activities, and there is no "black zone" with large rifts. Subspace storms are extremely rare. The most famous one is the "Judgment Storm" during the Gothic War. , blocking some of the support forces in the star field, but generally speaking, it is an area of the empire where subspace storms rarely occur.
In other words, this extremely low probability thing happened to Soshiyang at the most critical moment.
When the navigator informed him of the subspace storm in horror, Soshyan's first thought was that someone was doing evil in secret, but then he thought about it, how many entities in the galaxy are there that can create subspace storms?
Then he discovered that his power, which seemed to be all-powerful, suddenly became insignificant in the violent subspace. He might be able to escape by himself, but the entire fleet could not. The subspace at that time Like a cauldron being vigorously stirred, the torrent of spiritual power swept through the fleet. The navigators tried their best to maintain the formation of the fleet. The Geller force field also withstood the most severe test. The demons laughed in the strong wind. Just waiting for any ship's protective light to extinguish, they swarmed up and swallowed the ship and its people together.
And Soshyan can do almost nothing about it.
It’s not like he never thought about asking the Bewitcher for help, but he found that he couldn’t go to the Thunder Stone Church. Just when he was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, the extremely sudden storm began to dissipate. .
So fortunately, although it was delayed for some time, the fleet arrived at its destination safely, which was the jump node on the outer edge of the Westeros galaxy - due to the influence of the shadow of the Hive Mind, There is no way to jump directly into the galaxy.
But after entering the physical universe, Jin Yuwei from the royal court immediately requested an audience. Fortunately, Zhao Akada boarded the pirate ship, and the Eldar signal receiver was deployed on the ship. Suoshiyang then asked Jin Yu to Wei used a small boat with the best stealth performance to approach. As soon as he came in, he immediately told him bad news and good news.
Bad news, the Fourteenth Legion and the Third Legion worked together and jointly attacked the planet Nessen and the Bracato system.
Good news, the attack caused basically no damage, and both groups of traitors were repelled.
“. After annihilating the Nurgle disciple fleet that attacked the Bracato system, and then heading to the Nessen system for support, Giulio Pula Xingshuai learned that the war was basically over, so he made a plan The plan was to ambush the enemy's lackeys. When the enemy's lackeys evacuated from the Nessen system and joined the outer fleet, they launched a surprise attack, destroying 27 ships and killing about a thousand Chaos Space Marines. However, Eidolon and Lucius were not found. Corpse.”
After hearing this, Soshiyang nodded slightly.
"It's a pity, but it's also very good. I was not thinking carefully when the enemy took advantage of this opportunity. But what do you mean when Eidolon and Typhons retreated in orbit?"
“Back to Your Highness, according to the post-war intelligence, Nurgle believers and the enemy’s lackeys used fast ships to quickly approach the orbital defense facilities of Nathan IV, and initiated gang-hopping, and almost took control of the orbit at one point.”< br>
“Huh?”
Soshiyan thought for a moment, and the situation should have been very dangerous at that time, because once the orbital facilities were controlled, those weapons might turn their muzzles to attack the monastery on the planet’s surface. Fortresses, or simply letting orbital structures crash into the planet, would be a disaster.
More importantly, he knew how much power the Chapter Monastery had left. No matter how ridiculous Eidolon, Typhons and the like were in his eyes, they were long-established figures after all, and it was absolutely impossible to defeat them with just the new recruits. theirs.
"Master Ananda?"
The first thing that jumped into Soshiyang's mind was this possibility, but looking at Jin Yuwei's attitude, it didn't seem like it.
“Do you know who repelled them?”
“Back to Your Highness, the result of the subsequent investigation was that one of your cooks.”
Soshyan blinked, then blurted out.
“Huh? Rozim?”
“I don’t know the specific name, but Lord Doral asked me to tell you that one of your cooks used incredible power to almost He defeated all the invaders alone, and Eidolon also summoned a Keeper of Secrets, but it seemed to be defeated by a group of Hrud. Shortmen, greenskins, etc. also appeared in the battle."
