Chapter 133 Subspace Navigation
“No…they are not…”
“They…I have set these damn people free a long time ago, but they just don’t want to leave me.”
"I know your likes and dislikes, Your Highness, and I have no intention of offending."
The Navigator defended tremblingly.
Angron discovered that the female mutant was telling the truth.
The emotions of those slaves were the same as those of the slaves before Nukeria, with awe and panic when they followed their masters.
But these slaves want to be slaves from the bottom of their hearts and have no resistance at all.
Even...these slaves feel that because they are the slaves of the Navigator, they are superior to most of the people on this ship.
"We are not slaves, we are free people." A guard wanted to kneel down, but thought of something and finally bowed instead, "Our free will makes us want to serve Nyssa Andras Lord Tower!”
The other slaves all said in unison: "We want to serve our master, even after the commander of the Kiel Army said that we are all free."
"..." Angron was speechless, his expression showed He was greatly shocked.
Qin Xia is not surprised.
The slaves of these Navigators are well-dressed and well-fed. They do not oppose their masters. Who wants them to oppose their masters? They are anxious.
Whether it is because they have received too many benefits, or because Nissa Andrasta is a good master, or because these slaves have received slave education since childhood... anyway, they do not want to be free. people.
Qin Xia opened his mouth and asked about more important things: "When the original body gave the order to prepare for sailing, you immediately went to your post. How do you know where the original body wants to go? How do you know where you should navigate?"
"Because the Emperor has arranged a mission for the original body." Nissa said, stretching out her slender arms wearing black lace gloves. A slave presented the document with both hands, and she handed the document to Angron.
Angron looked at the words on the document.
There was only one line of words on it, but when he entered the sight of the original body, it had the effect of a spiritual shock.
For just two seconds, only one thing echoed in the Primarch's brain.
That is, the scattered warriors of the Twelfth Legion are gathering. During the gathering, Angron needs to go and do something.
This matter is to help the Primarch brother named Perturabo finish the war in the Novshendak system.
"He asked us to help Perturabo fight." Angron crumpled the paper into a ball.
Qin Xia raised his eyebrows.
Before the Twelve Legions are completely assembled, let Angron cooperate with Perturabo.
Angron can sense the emotions of others and absorb the negative emotions of others.
Go and cooperate with Perturabo, who is a super naughty monster, has a dark mind and is ruthless in his actions.
Does Perturabo need help fighting an easy battle? Obviously not necessary, so the emperor's intention is obvious, which is to let Angron provide psychological counseling to Perturabo, or let the two get to know each other.
Qin Xia thought... The emperor's plan clicked.
"How come his orders were sent directly to you? Do I have to obey your orders from now on?" Angron asked.
"Ah...no, Your Highness..." Nissa panicked and didn't know how to answer.
This was the Emperor's decision. He gave the order directly to Nissa before leaving. Nissa herself couldn't figure out the reason, let alone answer Angron at this time.
Qin Xia thought for a while, maybe it was because Nissa Andrasta, the navigator, was absolutely loyal to the emperor.
He had an impression of this navigator.
Nissa Andrasta, the navigator of the Conqueror (formerly the Enduring Resolve), refused to follow the Angron rebellion during the Horus Heresy, in order to prevent the Conqueror from conducting warp navigation. , she chose to commit suicide by swallowing a gun.
"Go and do your thing." Qin Xia made way.
Nisha did not dare to look into the eyes of the two people, lowered her head, shrank her body, first saluted eagerly, and then dodged through the gap.
Her slaves followed.
"She is absolutely loyal to the emperor." Qin Xia said.
“She is also a noble.” Angron turned back and glanced at Nissa’s back as she trotted with her skirt in hand, “She also owned slaves!”
Qin Xia nodded.
Angron considered not carrying out the Emperor's orders at all and taking the fleet directly to the Great Crusade, collecting the heirs who helped other legions fight along the way.
But Angron thought of Perturabo, a man who once existed only in his adoptive father's words.
Another Primarch.
Another Primarch who is much larger than an average human and would be considered a freak, brother.
"Perturabo is good at offensive and defensive warfare, and he is also a master of construction." Angron said Qin Xia's evaluation of Perturabo, "I should meet this brother, maybe I can learn from him A few tricks."
"You should learn to make your own decisions now."
Angron nodded and did not stop Nisha from changing the target point. He and Qin Xia walked towards the place in the battleship where the void shield found on Numoira was placed.
......
The fleet gradually arrived at the edge of the galaxy. This is the location of the Mandeville Point calculated by the experienced naval personnel in the fleet.
The so-called Mandeville point is the position where the fleet enters the subspace from the real universe before sailing through the subspace. It is far away from the gravity of the celestial body, which can avoid the unpredictable consequences of the cracks in the subspace being affected by the gravity of the celestial body.
Then the flagship subspace engine operated, and a dark purple rift gradually opened in the dark stars, and finally expanded enough to allow the entire fleet to enter.
The turbulent subspace energy pours into the real universe along the cracks. If there are psykers in the entire Nuceria galaxy who are using psychic powers, they will find that their power has become stronger.
But this situation only lasted for a short time. When all the warships entered the rift and dived deep into the subspace, the rift closed quickly.
Countless malevolent creatures in the warp are attracted to these intruders. They approach the ship but are blocked by an unseen force.
It was the Geller Field, a device used to shield creatures from the Warp.
Its effectiveness lies between the possibility of a subspace biological breakthrough, but the unlikely subspace biological breakthrough. It is not 100% safe. Without that thing, the ship would be full of ghosts and stuff like that.
However, in the fleet, there is another layer of things that is protecting the people inside.
The Resolute Resolve was surrounded by a dark purple vortex, and the two battleships traveling to the left and right of the flagship were also in the vortex.
Some subspace creatures are swept into the vortex and consumed like fuel. Then the vortex releases energy regularly, and the energy fluctuations destroy or expel the subspace creatures within the scope of action. "This damn thing can be used as a Geller force field."
“Evil.”
“It can transport people from planets to satellites, can intercept attacks in a directional manner, and has effects similar to the Geller force field... It really opened my eyes. "
Qin Xia stood in front of the ancient void shield captured from Nuwei, observing the operation of this thing with Angron.
This thing perfectly conforms to the laws of this universe - the older it gets, the stronger it gets.
Brown didn't know where this void shield came from, nor where it was originally placed. He could only monitor the operational data of this void shield, and cut off the energy supply if the data fluctuated too much.
“I’ve always heard that subspace navigation is prone to accidents, so you don’t have to worry about it this time.” Angron valued the effect of this void shield even more.
It can play a role in the subspace navigation stage. This thing undoubtedly gave everyone a surprise.
But Qin Xia wanted to discover the principle even more, so he began to observe the operation of the void shield in more detail.
In the psychic vision, this thing is still a vortex. Under the vortex, neither the warship nor the personnel are visible.
"It's just that the range of action is a bit small. The sky can only cover the flagship and the two surrounding cruisers." Qin Xia said.
In psychic vision, other warships in the fleet outside the vortex are still visible.
"That's good. Besides, nothing happened to the other warships that were not within the scope of action." Angron was very satisfied.
There is no one else here, otherwise people would be very nervous when they heard what happened in the words of the original body.
There is an unwritten rule on the battleship, that is, you cannot say anything about the incident, nor can you say homophones related to the incident.
Qin Xia didn't think it mattered.
After all, Angron is not Corax, has nothing to do with crows, and even a few unlucky words cannot be called a crow's mouth.
"Hound's Fang is under attack!"
Qin Xia suddenly heard this and turned his head to look around. Angron's face was expressionless, obviously not hearing it.
"Hound's Teeth...encountered...attack..."
Before the intermittent sound sounded again, Qin Xia had already determined that it was psychic communication.
"Hound's Fang is under attack!" Qin Xia reminded Angron loudly, turning his head to observe the outside with his psychic vision.
The fleet is sailing amid lightning and dark clouds.
The dark clouds gathered into a sharp claw and wrapped around the hound's teeth.
But obviously the Hound's Fang was not attacked by dark clouds, but by bombardments from other warships.
A ship sailed in the dark clouds and opened fire on the Hound's Teeth at the rear of the fleet.
When a bolt of lightning roared and exploded, the outline of the ship was clearly visible in the electric light.
A ship that looks like it has sails and a streamlined shape, and is obviously an alien creation.
"Spirit race?" Qin Xia recognized which race the ship belonged to at a glance.
Boom——
A series of roars sounded while Qin Xia was observing, and the Eldar ship opened fire on the Hound's Fang from the starboard side.
The Void Shield of the Hound's Fang has lost its function. Two energy beams hit the ship's hull. One of the beams hit the ship's bow ramming corner, and the other penetrated the weak point of the battleship and opened a large hole twelve meters wide. .
"Stop the navigator and the fleet strikes back!" Angron shouted to Kil on the flagship in the communication channel.
"Your Highness!" The navigator's voice reached Angron's ears, "I see a storm is about to envelope the entire fleet. We must leave before the storm arrives!"
Ange Long was speechless for a moment.
A subspace storm is coming. If it comes, the entire fleet will most likely be destroyed in the storm.
The void shield on the flagship can't stop anything.
The once glorious human civilization was interrupted by the subspace storm that affected the entire galaxy.
“The fleet cannot be stopped!”
Qin Xia reminded Angron, and at the same time, with a thought, he sent a set of Terminator tactical fearless armor to the cabin. With assistance, teleport to him instantly.
"Continue sailing, I'll go to the Fang of the Hound."
The Terminator armor helmet was closed, and Qin Xia's voice became dull and thick in the second half of the sentence.
"Use this thing and I'll go with you." Angron pointed to the void shield.
This ancient void shield has the ability to teleport.
"No, if something happens to the flagship, you have to deal with it immediately. I can go to the Hound's Teeth myself." After Qin Xia said that, he disappeared into the cabin, leaving only a piece of ice and snow.
"The fleet is about to end its faster-than-light voyage." Angron heard the voice of the flagship commander Lotharassarin from the communication channel. "We have to leave here before the storm arrives. The Imperial Truth will defend our sanity in the chaos. We We must be able to reach the target point with as little loss as possible!"
"Is this always the case in subspace navigation?" Angron asked.
“It is true that troubles may arise when traveling at super-light speeds, not always, but with a high probability.” Saleen replied, “Your Highness, the Hound’s Teeth should also be able to end its voyage normally. I suggest Prepare for battle at the jump point to defend against enemy warships."
"Of course." Angron nodded.
The fleets jumped out of the subspace one after another.
When the Fortitude Resolve appeared at Mandeville Point, which jumped out of the galaxy, Angron saw a large number of tough-looking battleships in the porthole.
Those warships all had no portholes and seemed to have no weaknesses.
These battleships lined up in a row and moved towards the rear of the Resolute Resolve.
“That’s the battleship of the Iron Warriors of the Fourth Legion!” Saleen shouted joyfully in the communication, “We have successfully reached our destination!”
Angron has already seen the legendary ship. The battleship of a brother named Perturabo, but he only glanced at it and looked back through the rear porthole.
Some battleships have jumped out of the subspace one after another, but the Hound's Fang has never been seen.
