Warhammer: Decided to take the route of stars surrounding the warp

The Iron Hand Expeditionary Force is very easy to find, but also very difficult to find.

Wherever the Iron Hand passed, there was a scorched earth, and the corpses of aliens and the corpses of the Astra Militarum were mixed together. No matter what the world was like before the expeditionary force came, it would definitely be a charred black ball after they left.

The Iron Hands are also difficult to find because their internal divisions have become too serious. Ten clans have broken the expeditionary force into ten teams and set out on their own.

Therefore, the battle route of the Iron Hand Expeditionary Army is extremely complex. The ten small expeditionary forces perfectly interpret what it means to be an army born for war.

The entire war context is like a big net. The aliens and heretics discovered in the desperate situation of being surrounded by smoke that this net has firmly bound them.

For this chaotic situation, the Red Torrent's search method is simple, follow the supply and support fleet of the Forge World.

The relationship between the Iron Hands Chapter and the Forge World is very good, and it is a clan with a good relationship with the Forge World that shares the same Mechanicus teachings.

There are many members of the Mechanicum in their expeditionary force, including the Titan Legion and the Knight Family.

The People's Light quietly followed the famous Emperor Thunderbolt Emperor-class Titan transport ship. This transport force had strong escorts and sufficient supplies. It must be reinforcements heading to the Apocalypse-level battlefield.

A way station system soon fell behind them, and they were approaching Mandeville Point.

then……

As we drove on, we spotted a familiar fleet.

Damn it, the First Trade Fleet.

Nian Cijin, what are you doing here? Taking advantage of the situation?

The Ambition-class cruiser group of the First Trade Fleet, which can be called an expeditionary force, actually moved to the outer escort position perfectly. The Mechanicus had no grudges, and there were even communication ships running back and forth.

Yifeng felt that he needed to rethink whether he had lived like a dog these years.

Nian Cijin was chatting with the great sages of the Mechanicus Cult about the next tasks. They assigned them fairly. The Mechanicus Cult knew the "special ability" of Red Torrent to clean up the battlefield, and directly hired Nian Cijin's troops as a special scavenger team, claiming to be responsible. After completely clearing the flags of hidden aliens, the Astartes forces from Red River finally entered the scene.

There is a tacit understanding between the two parties. You do your thing and I do mine. The two sides do not interfere with each other. You bring me a fixed amount of supplies, and the rest belongs to you.

The Great Sage was not nervous at all, and they took advantage of the boring transportation time to make the deal.

What? What can the Mechanicus give you, you ask? Looking at the supply ship inside, the black-hearted and cunning Adeptus Mechanicus have long planned to take a bite of the Empire. With such a huge amount of resources, as long as the success rate of weapon casting is slightly lowered, the extra supplies will be huge.

The extra resources were used to arm the Skitarii and join the battle. The empire's military strength on the front battlefield remained unchanged, but the Mechanicus' contribution increased. Naturally, when the spoils were divided after the war, the Mechanicus' confidence increased.

Now, Nian Cijin's transaction emphasizes fairness, fairness, or fairness. The Great Sage did not think that making a deal with him would temporarily reduce the overall strength of the Skitarii. On the contrary, it would slightly improve it.

"Dear Brother Nian Cijin, I still want to remind you that with so many basic explosive bombs, it is definitely more than enough to exchange for your weapons."

"You and I have known each other for more than a year or two. The soldiers of my regiment are now working for you. Naturally, there are risks. What's wrong with getting some discounts? Don't you know these supplies? You really want to encounter a nest that has not been thoroughly cleaned. The aliens are not enough for our soldiers to fire several rounds of volleys. You think so."

Although Nian Cijin's words were very tactful, the Great Sage still felt the shocking scene of countless bolters aimed at him.

The military power is terrifying.

He believed this because one warrior of this bastard war group could carry a bunch of guns.

The Great Sage was lucky enough to see their supply line loading activities. As for their style of play, it was actually not much different from Iron Hand's, but one had more cannonballs and the other had more explosives.

"The frontline advancement in this battle is very slow. Doesn't the Red Torrent Chapter have the will to fight?"

"Everyone performs his duties. We must obey the emperor's orders. Before the next order arrives, we will definitely follow the last order."

As Nian Cijin spoke, the communication system rang.

"Great Sage, please excuse me."

After a while, Nian Cijin returned to the conference room with a smile.

"Good news, Great Sage, our parent regiment has reunited with several battle groups and is heading here. We will officially join this battle."

Nian Cijin looked at the great sage in front of him. He saw a lot of mechanization, but the level of technology was just average.

It is estimated that the special troops cannot be selected for the Queen of Glory restoration project.

"A large mixed force from various Chapters will be here to join the escort operation."

"Is the news accurate?" The Great Sage remained cautious. What if this was Chaos' conspiracy? Their ships received no signal.

"Don't worry, I will board the ship first to confirm. If you are not at ease, choose a representative to go with me. Oh, they have already arrived."

At Mandeville Point, Yifeng dispatched almost all the Astartes ships in the flagship shipyard.

Except for the Weeper's flagship, the Mother of Tears, which was severely damaged by the Star God fragments and is still undergoing repairs, everyone else was sent out.

Even the Redemption Light Chapter sent out a small pharmacist commando team.

This force came head-on, and then made a coquettish gyration, becoming the vanguard of the supply fleet.

Now, this Adeptus Mechanicus supply fleet is simply impregnable and can directly join the war as a separate expeditionary force.

But the Great Sage did not do this. The war led by the Iron Hands was a precise massacre war, and every link was striven to be executed in place. They hoped that every soldier would be a robot that absolutely executed orders.

The mission of the Great Sage is to transport Emperor-class Titans to the battlefield, and no amount of military power will change the mission.

The two sides maintained a warning distance, but the subspace jump forced the fleet to join together and sail towards the battlefield filled with artillery fire.

There is an expeditionary force led by the ancient Hammonk clan. They rarely come out, really rarely.

The Hammonk clan has a very important position among the ten clans of the Iron Hands. They protect the treasures of the Chapter.

Guarding a large number of STC template fragments, they stubbornly believe that these fragments contain the information left by Ferus Malus. They guard the Gorgon Forge. This clan is almost the richest in the Hands of Steel.

Moreover, the most terrifying thing is that they have a large number of fearless weapons, which are ready to go into war at any time under the careful maintenance of technical sergeants.

Their willingness to accept Guilliman's request to participate in the expedition was surprising, because almost all founding regiments left some spare forces on their home planet. The Hammonk clan should have stayed on their home planet.

The reason for this clan to attack is...

Looking back at history, their clan's greatest shame and most unacceptable failure was that the treasure house they guarded was stolen.

The Dark Eldar did it.

And it was very arrogant. The Blade Lotus Cabal actually boasted about it in Comoros, and more cabals came here to find excitement.

The Hammonk clan burned them with the fiercest fury. Under the indiscriminate bombardment of the Iron Hands, the conspiracy group basically never came back, and there was no such thing as taking the corpse back. When a Dark Eldar fell When it falls, there must be more than one shell falling around.

Buried directly.

In 41K, they smashed many enemy thefts and proved their strength to the Iron Council (chapter leadership), so they approved the Hammonk clan's request to start researching the Desolate Star Ring.

It is a technological relic left over from the Dark Ages in the world of Medusa, and its analysis has not yet been clarified.

This is what the Hammonk clan relied on for this attack. Although they did not understand the operation of the main energy source, they successfully activated the secondary energy source of the Huangxun Star Ring. The defense capabilities of the Medusa planet were greatly enhanced, allowing them to invest More power to conquer the galaxy.

Today is an old opponent, a stronghold where a large number of Dark Eldar gather. This time is very different. This group of Dark Eldar has a lot of weapons and has been developing here for a long time.

They actually cultivated their own puppet army, and a large number of human slaves and alien beasts were driven by them with painful whips to join the war.

By the time Yifeng's troops arrived, most of the world was still unconquered.

There is no doubt that the Dark Eldar guard the Webway deep in the planet, but the Iron Hands' reconnaissance force has not yet discovered the specific location of the Webway gate.

With most of the planet in flames of war, the leader of the Hammonk clan, the leader of the Mordian Iron Guard, the sages of the Forge World, representatives of the Battle Sisters, and the generals of the Imperial Navy formed a temporary war council.

Pictures of the entire planet were projected on the holographic screen. The Battle Sister's signal was very poor. She actually asked to communicate while fighting. She was simply a battle madman.

This made Patriarch Hamonk very unhappy. She was simply an amateur among amateurs. She was not worthy of entering the command hierarchy.

The nun's signal was briefly disconnected, and representatives from the Forge World began to report the situation, "According to the plan, the Emperor's Thunder and a batch of A-level Category 4 supplies will arrive in about an hour. Ground battlefield reports indicate that a safe channel has been opened. Titan drop zone. In addition, the Astropath reports that a Red River force will arrive with the supply ship and request to join the battlefield."

"A specific amount, sage."

"Unknown, the Astropath didn't say it clearly."

The general of the Imperial Navy began to complain, "Red River? It's them again. Is the Death Watch team below the Red River Chapter? It's really strange that the Death Watch will group so many soldiers from the same Chapter together. You Tell me if it’s the parent group they called for support?”

"No signal has been detected, but it is a good thing that support has arrived." The sage of the Mechanicum was very dissatisfied with the current situation. The progress was too slow. He couldn't wait to enter the "scavenging" stage. More troops could speed up the process.

"This is a waste of military power. We are enough to deal with these aliens." The old patriarch said indifferently, and his giant steel hand brushed across the command table, leaving a few dents.

His mechanical prosthetic limbs were unreasonably modified, with hot melt attached to the bottom and plasma attached to the top, making him invincible in close combat.

The other hand looked like it had no arm at all. The entire arm was a huge holy shield with explosive holes in it, which was connected to the ammunition supply chain behind him.

The whole person has tended to look like an automatic sentry.

"So, how should we deal with the arriving reinforcements, is it still the same as before?"

"Same, let them clean up the mess. Let Mordian withdraw from the satellite mining tunnel, and let them capture it when Red River comes."

……

The three half-dead Primaris warriors were pulled back to the Fury of Steel strike cruiser. After only half an hour of prosthetic limb replacement, their combat power returned to its peak and they returned to the battlefield.

There are very few Iron Hands warriors here, but every one of them is like an unkillable cursed warrior, killing the scum who have taken refuge in the Dark Eldar.

Especially the shadows floating in the distant starry sky made them unable to breathe.

As soon as the vanguard of the Red Torrent jumped out of Mandeville Point, they almost thought that their jump had failed and they jumped to Vashtor's house.

In the battleship's field of vision, a large stretch of continuous mechanical furnaces, warehouses, shipyards, factories... almost occupied their entire field of vision.

This mechanical continent is so large that it almost occupies the entire field of view of the ship island, and even the judgment of distance becomes blurred for a while.

"Great Sage, you didn't tell us that the Hope was here."

"I'm looking forward to your reaction, especially when you admit it's wrong." The great sage had a bad intention.

"The one in front of me is the Hope, our successful imitation of the Hope Mechanical Ark."

The Hope is a relic from the Age of Strife, a half-finished mechanical ark. It is as big as a continent.

After years of research, the Mechanicus had been trying to figure out the technology inside, so they made an extremely poor imitation.

This forge world almost covered a satellite. When its machine spirit awakened, it almost destroyed all space-based communication stations in the orbits of all satellites.

Subsequently, the Forge World separated it from the satellite. In terms of scale, it was almost the size of the Hope. However, whether it was the size of the foundry, flight speed, or so-called firepower density, it was not as good as the Hope in all aspects.

But for the Mechanicus, it is a huge success. Being able to fly in subspace and having a factory is a success.

The escort fleet turned urgently, and the supply fleet calmly landed at the Hope's shipyard.

Others were not surprised by the Iron Hands clan's arrogant behavior of pulling up a Mechanical Ark to go on an expedition.

Yifeng, who had just come out of the parent group's warehouse, felt that he had seen the world, but now he felt that he was superficial.

I am a frog in a well.

Of the forging worlds I traded with, one by one, they specifically did not reveal what was at the bottom of the box.

When the vanguard fleet was slowly "looking up" beside the Mechanical Ark, the order from the leader of the Hammonk clan also came, to capture...

Capture the darkness.

The communication channel was suddenly disrupted, and the Dark Eldar warship finally appeared and launched an attack on the Mechanical Ark.

The crew was startled by the sudden intervention of the Dark Eldar, and then calmly contacted Ark Mechanicum to ask them not to accidentally hurt them.

His general is defeated, why are you so mad?

At the beginning of the war, the Dark Eldar realized that they had to destroy the Mechanical Ark. Their warships were well hidden and they needed an opportunity for chaos.

The war led by the Iron Hands unfolded with an absolutely accurate rhythm, and the Dark Eldar fleet never found a chance.

The arrival of the unexpectedly large Crimson Flood fleet diverted many of Mechanicum's close-in defense guns, and the Rose of Pain Cabal seized the opportunity.

The projection of their battleships was sprinkled in the middle of the Red Torrent fleet group, hoping that the surrounding battleships would focus their fire there.

Chief Hammonk has been waiting for a long time.

The swaggering appearance of the Hope was a decoy, but he was very angry now, and the strike cruiser group blocked their attack trajectory.

Few warships are firing at the projection of the Dark Eldar. They all know that it is fake and are waiting for the arrival of the People's Light and the scanning of strong radar in the near area.

But Mechanical Ark began to pour fire, causing the void shields of our fleet to fluctuate.

Everyone thought we would evacuate in an emergency, but our battle group always maintained a tight formation.

I'm thick-skinned, and I'm afraid your Dark Eldar warship will crash into me.

The battleship ambushed in the dock of Mechanical Ark sailed into space at the fastest speed, and the surroundings of Mechanical Ark became extremely chaotic.

The red torrent fleet group still maintained its original course, but the heavy firepower weapons began to charge. Among the only few moon-class battleships, the nova cannon emits a high-energy response accelerated by the gravity turbine, and the battleship's light spear began to charge, and the target was pointed directly. The heart of Ark Mechanicus.

The situation was tense. After losing communication, Mechanical Ark followed the final plan and regarded Yifeng's fleet group as a hostile target. Especially now, Mechanical Ark launched gravity field protection.

A huge amount of energy ripples are scattered. The activation of this weapon means that most secondary foundries are shut down and the supply of secondary energy is stopped. The impact is difficult to repair in a short period of time.

The first few strike cruisers were pulled by gravity. The most terrifying thing is that the consumption rate of the void shield is increasing rapidly. As the ship gets closer and closer to the Mechanical Ark, the overload rate of the void shield is steadily increasing.

The light spears began to melt the armor, the macroguns shattered on the bow, and the space torpedoes competed with the intensive firepower of the close-in defense guns.

"Stay steady, don't panic."

The commander was calm.

"Keep course, confirm shooting target."

The battle armor almost actively turned its "fat" bilge towards the Mechanical Ark, and the Ironhands' warriors calculated in seconds that the chance of using the jump gang warehouse to launch a gang jump was more than 57%.

Keep firing.

The direction of the matter made Chief Hammonk extremely angry. You intervened on your own and completely disrupted my plan. It was a waste of our artillery shells.

Alarms have sounded throughout every cabin of the vanguard fleet. A large number of cabins are closed, air valves are tightened, and pipelines are isolated.

The commander still said the same thing: "Calm down and wait for the attack signal."

He was more anxious than anyone else and had scanned the signal station seven times in three seconds.

"Now, fire!"

The Dark Eldar warships wondered how they had been exposed, but several blasts pierced their ships.

This is a battlecruiser-class super battleship. Yifeng is surprised that a heavy battleship of this level survives. Perhaps their conspiracy does not trust Comoros at all and does not park the battleship in the Dark City.

After the enemy's position was determined, the outcome of this confrontation was already determined, but the falling battleship sent out a terrifying energy signal.

Its energy signal was so huge that it interfered with most of the detectors on the Ark. Meters exploded and machine souls went crazy everywhere.

I don't know what the Dark Eldar activated, but it's certainly not something powerful.

A psychic storm is likely to erupt close to Mechanical Ark.

"All weapons, salvo, quick!"

When the Light Lance and Nova Cannon have just finished shooting, the fleet's best choice is the Macro Cannon.

Among the dense barrage, one shell luckily hit the enemy's plot.

A twisted force that can be called a space storm erupted close to the Hope. A large number of surface foundries vaporized, and the corresponding void shield module was completely overloaded. There was even an energy pipe explosion. The ion wind leaked from the closed cabin and burned it. A lot of servitors died.

"It's so stupid."

Unfortunately, the relationship between Red Torrent and Iron Hand has reached a freezing point.

The two sides stopped shooting, but a large number of Steel Hands strike cruisers suppressing the planet began to assume a horn offensive posture towards this side.

Chief Hammonk's communication was connected here, and his first sentence was, "You must be responsible for this."

"You'll never get the point.''

Yifeng is also very angry. We are fighting the Dark Eldar Tribe, and you are beating me. When it is all over, let me take responsibility?

William accessed the communication channel of the War Council. The Navy and the Astra Militarum looked like they were watching a show, and most of the time they were shouting for support from nearby troops to hurry up.

The faces of the Adeptus Mechanicus and the Patriarch were ugly, if they had faces at all.

"Your stupid fleet ruined our plans, look at the Hope, damn, we don't know when we'll be able to fix it."

"The Dark Eldar blew it up."

"They simply can't get to such a close position. It's because of your large number of ships that the force of the gravity cage is dispersed, making it impossible to lock the enemy's position."

"It's no use locking it, you can't stop it from exploding."

"According to our calculations, there is a 91% chance that the opponent will be destroyed by us before the explosion!"

Both sides insisted on their own opinions. We grabbed each other to bombard our ships, while the other side clamored that we should go on the atonement expedition.

William waved his hands and raised his feet.

Nian Cijin was at the side and took out a small notebook.

If you don't accept it, bite me.

The ten clans of Iron Hand are together. How many times can I give you a try? What are you pretending to be here as a clan?

How many battle groups can you defeat me with?

Otherwise, the Iron Hands are difficult to get along with. The brain circuits of these guys are all Omnissian. They even thought they had the ability to capture the battleship, but we bombed it. The sage priests of the Mechanicum are still there. The side fanned the flames and wanted us to compensate us together with the estimated loot.

Then, William ordered all the warships to directly enter the bombardment position, turn on the orbital bombardment equipment, and fly directly above the heavily damaged Mechanical Ark area.

When the other party falsely accuses you, if you really take action, it will make others hesitate.

They just want compensation. I really blew up your Mechanical Ark. Do you dare to take it?

Can you still bet that I can afford a Mechanical Ark?

All the battleships I have present combined are not worth the value of Mechanical Ark.

When the information about the awakening of the machine soul of the Mingming Extinction Order weapon was transmitted to the communication channel, the leader of the Hammonk clan almost wanted to declare the other party a traitor on the spot.

But the absolutely calm and mechanical way told him that if he did that, the chance of the other party destroying the Ark would be more than 90%.
