As long as you die, you are invincible, but in 40K

In comparison, the opponent's performance of sacrificing soul stones was relatively restrained.

After taking the soul stone and putting it in his pocket, Zhang Ge said casually:

"If there are two of you, it's a little hard to tell them apart if we both call you pets. I'll transliterate your names, or just come up with some random personal names... something short and simple."

"Katie!"

"Rye."

Neither of them hesitated. The Eldar pet said "Ketti" first, and Lai followed closely behind, and they chose to use Terran to name people in tacit understanding.

"Then, you two will be responsible for disciplining these aliens. I hope they understand the meaning of the word 'well-behaved' before we reach our destination."

After the two of them exchanged greetings to show their attitudes, Zhang Ge turned around and left, heading towards other cabins.

While he was wandering around the interior of the Dreadnought getting familiar with various locations, a large number of personnel and supplies were transported into the Dreadnought under Endymion's organization. This ship, which was much larger than the Val Ghost, could easily accommodate all the "First Mechanized Infantry Regiment" and related personnel, including the Sandworms, at one time.

Soon, as the last person arrived at the designated transport location inside the Dreadnought as planned, in the silence brought by the silent stance in the outside world, the Dreadnought silently spewed out a tail flame, and with the help of the anti-gravity field, it slowly broke away from the control of the planet's gravity and began to sail towards the sea of ​​stars.

Chapter 263: The Imperial Fist Bravely Fights Calgar and Reunites with the Spirit of Vengeance

As the Dreadnought gradually moved away from the planet's orbit, Zhang Ge gradually put aside the various affairs on the Vigilant Star. In the near future, he and the crew on his ship will meet the Spirit of Vengeance in the asteroid orbit of the Soul Stealer Star, and further carry out a subspace voyage based on the webway coordinates provided by the Eldar.

However, Zhang Ge walked away easily, but on the ground, the impact of his departure gradually spread.

Shortly after that, although Calga, whose investigation had yielded no results, had tried his best to suppress the news of the disappearance of the mechanized infantry regiment, after all, the influence of the mechanized infantry regiment before was too great and they were too active. Now that they suddenly stopped all activities without any warning, it was definitely impossible to completely conceal it.

The rumor spread until it finally exploded.

It was a seemingly ordinary night when the Imperial Fists finally ended their hunt for the remaining Iron Warriors on the planet. After finally receiving all the honors they could get, they returned to Aquila Port in their own vehicles.

Then, upon landing, I was stunned to hear rumors like, "The 1st Mechanized Infantry Regiment was taken away by the Inquisition for some reason," "Calgar was worried that the Mechanized Infantry Regiment would be corrupted by the intense combat and purged the entire regiment," and "The nobles united to retaliate."

what?

no?

After discovering that they could not contact Zhang Ge in any way, several high-ranking commanders of the Imperial Fists had to form an incredible guess:

Zhang Ge did not die on the dangerous battlefields of Alert Star, but most likely died in the internal strife among his own people, just like what had happened countless times in the past.

The officer still clearly remembered that before carrying out this last mission, he and Zhang Ge had a chat and promised Zhang Ge that if he had the chance, he would definitely take Zhang Ge to Terra to have a look.

Now that things have come to this point, it is not difficult to guess what will happen next.

Although the Imperial Fists are not pushovers, they are certainly not heartless and disloyal either - more importantly, they are also stubborn enough.

Soon, they contacted some other chapter officers who were willing to step forward and confronted Calgar head-on.

In this situation, Calga had to give up concealing the truth and told them that the 1st Mechanized Infantry Regiment and all related personnel were missing. Obviously, this statement was not convincing at all, but when Calga provided them with resources and they investigated on their own for a period of time, reality only repeatedly confirmed Calga's statement.

In the end, the turmoil was hastily concluded at the triumphal ceremony.

After reading out the achievements of the 1st Mechanized Infantry Regiment on Vigilant Star, Calgar personally announced that they had to be absent from the ceremony because they were assigned an urgent secret mission. This finally put an end to the various rumors that had become increasingly outrageous.

Not long after, the Senate, which Calgar had previously established on the Vigilant Planet based on the model of the Five Hundred Worlds, took over the power originally held by the nobles, and the Mechanicus who originally claimed to be from Huangquan No. 8 also began to gradually take the "Peace Order" as the mainstream.

It is worth mentioning that this group of mechanical figures who changed their red robes into blue robes did not hold an extremely conservative attitude towards all knowledge like before... or like most Mechanicus forces. Instead, they gradually relaxed those technologies that did not need to be controlled and were relatively not dangerous.

When asked why they did this, they simply said:

"For peace."

However, if you are really fooled by their slogans and names, you will be in trouble.

Although, the Peace Order does not have the power of the Crusaders - the "Crusaders" originally referred to as "Crusaders" are actually a secondary military order independent of the priests, but they are loyal to the religion and therefore generally accept the command of the priests.

However, some of them are "peacekeeping troops".

This newly established organization is a military force directly under the Order... Although it is newly established, the vast majority of its members are actually members of various military factions within the Order, including former Crusaders, former Titan Society, former Priest Guards, etc., and possess the qualities of a regular army.

Normally, a combined force would always have to go through a period of adjustment where its overall combat effectiveness would decline, especially in a place like the Mechanicus where knowledge was closed. But now, there are two factors that are different from common sense.

Firstly, the command model of the Mechanicus' subordinate military forces is somewhat similar to that of a "drone swarm", with each soldier generally not regarded as an individual with self-awareness, but merely a tiny cog in a huge war machine.

What is responsible for their running-in is different "algorithms", rather than the general communication and familiarity between soldiers. Therefore, if the technical level is high enough, the running-in time can be shortened to a very short time.

Secondly, since the Order of Peace has already opened up to the outside world to a certain extent, there is no need to say more about it internally.

After the establishment of the peacekeeping army, different priests quickly began to communicate with each other. Soon, based on the previous different algorithms, several high-ranking priests took the lead in establishing a newer, stronger and more effective comprehensive algorithm.

From basic peacekeeping infantry to various types of intelligent mechas, heavy tanks, knights, and even Titans, all can cooperate efficiently under this algorithm. According to the Peace Order itself, this algorithm also incorporates the insights of several high-ranking priests on Olivia's command style, and can even be called one of the Order's holy relics.

With Xu's efficient command and, finally, the sharing of resources and technology among the priests, the peacekeeping army became the iron fist of peace in the Hongbei District in a very short time.

In this situation, if there are stubborn elements who refuse to listen to the truth of "peace", the peacekeeping forces would not mind using some guns and fists.

Of course, this algorithm was also shared with the elite peacekeeping troops who had left with Zhang Ge on the ship. The Order of Peace was one of the forces that knew where Zhang Ge had gone. However, under Zhang Ge's instructions, even when Calgar personally asked, they simply responded with a cooperative expression.

Don’t know, not clear, don’t understand.

This went on until finally, people gradually gave up looking for the missing 1st Mechanized Infantry Regiment...but this does not mean forgetting.

Instead, through various commemorations, from sculptures to regional festivals to memorials, the 1st Mechanized Infantry Regiment is gradually becoming a legendary figure, one of the epic poems written in history books and inscriptions.

Even Zhang Ge himself was worshipped by a group of people headed by the nobles of Akaolan. Based on the rumors that had been circulating in the Akaolan hive, they made up a myth that was both true and false, and then used the name of worshipping the saint to win over a group of pro-Zhang Ge factions, and even grabbed a glimmer of survival after the political struggle between the Senate and the nobles ended.

However, most of these are things that happened later. Now, due to the extremely high speed of the Dreadnought, Zhang Ge and his team had already arrived at the asteroid belt while Calga was still able to keep the news secret. Not far away was the Spirit of Vengeance that had been waiting for a long time.

ps: I saw some readers asking about additional chapters in the thread, so I will say it again here, there will be additional chapters, but why not in the next two days, you can read the "About Additional Chapters" before Chapter 261.

ps2: If you don’t want to go back, here is a brief version: additional updates will start this weekend.

Chapter 264: Reunion, Zhang Ge planning to rest and Perveti getting into trouble

Previously, the Dauntless and the Spirit of Vengeance had completed mutual identity confirmation through communication conducted by Zhang Ge, and the reason why they needed to get close to this visual distance was because they had to transfer the personnel on the ship.

It's not that the Dreadnought couldn't hold so many people, it was mainly because the Spirit of Vengeance was a dreadnought designed specifically for the Great Crusade. Its nearly thirty-kilometer-long hull housed a large number of facilities, from collection and production equipment to a dedicated command center. In terms of "flagship" or "mothership", the Spirit of Vengeance was more appropriately called.

If you don't have any idea of ​​how huge it is, here's a brief description for easier understanding:

其长宽高的比例大致为1：0.42：0.4，即约28km：11.76km：11.2km。

Based on this size, and with each floor 4 meters high, the entire Soul of Vengeance can be divided into 2800 floors. Furthermore, if each cabin on each floor is 4 meters wide and 4 meters long on average, that is to say, there are a total of 2940×7000, or about 2.1 million cabins.

This is an extremely terrifying number, almost equivalent to a mobile city floating in the universe. If all these cabins were connected end to end, the total length would reach 1.4 million kilometers, enough to circle the equator of Terra 3600 times. If you drive a sports car at a speed of 300 kilometers per hour, it would take 47 Terra hours of non-stop driving to drive from beginning to end.

In comparison, although the 5,000-meter-long HMS Dreadnought is also very large, it is far inferior in terms of the functions of a mother ship.

This difference was already evident during the transfer operation.

When the speeds of the two ships were synchronized and they reached a relative standstill, a large number of transport boats and transport planes operated by servitors quickly emerged from the hangar of the Spirit of Vengeance. These huge numbers of flying equipment completed most of the transportation work in a very short time, loading all the people including the prisoners onto the ship. Only a garrison of about several thousand people and necessary personnel were left in the Dreadnought as planned.

I call it efficient.jpg

However, Zhang Ge and his group did not board the vehicle that came out of the Spirit of Vengeance.

Out of habit—and with the thought that underground fighters should be more fragile than space fighters—he had the military chaplains modify the Valkyrie he often rode, giving it the ability to fly in space.

This task is not as difficult as imagined. After all, as an aerospace fighter, Valkyrie has the ability to fly short distances in space, but its endurance is insufficient.

Of course, the Valkyrie also proved that she did not let down the resources Zhang Ge invested.

After being completely refurbished from the inside out, and its entire volume being increased several times to a size slightly larger than the Thunderhawk gunship, it displayed acceleration, deceleration, and maneuverability like a cosmic ghost... It was hard to imagine what role such a fighter would play in a space battle.

But the Valkyrie was not interested in those speculations. Instead of fighting and killing, she was more willing to perform her own duties, which was to transport Zhang Ge. Any other actions were just additional to her job.

Well, it would be even better if I could let him see my heroic figure while transporting him... But wouldn't that put him in danger? A little danger would be more exciting, right? It really makes me feel conflicted...

Just as the slight alarm of computing overload echoed in the cabin, Zhang Ge once again felt the feeling of entering deep into the Valkyrie's body, bringing her attention back to reality.

The hatch closes, take off, and accelerates.

In the familiar process, in just a blink of an eye, Zhang Ge had logged into the Soul of Vengeance.

Before parting with Endymion in the hangar, he asked one last question:

"Have you prepared all the necessary things like the pilot?"

"Don't worry, I know a little bit about space travel."

The navigator is as important to warp navigation as the Geller stand. The latter is responsible for preventing warp demons from swarming onto the ship like flies that smell history, while the former is responsible for preventing the entire ship from plunging into the surging waves of history in the warp at every moment.

Although travel is possible through mechanical priests and psykers, the former can only go in and out short distances like skipping stones on water even if they use all their computing power, while the latter have to bear the risk of the psyker exploding into a huge bomb or even a storm.

If you don't intend to commit suicide, it's best not to be unconventional in this regard.

After hearing Endymion's promise, Zhang Ge nodded in response and quickly turned and left.

This time, he did not bring any close followers with him, but walked alone in the corridor of the Spirit of Vengeance, which now seemed particularly empty.

It’s not that I’m planning on doing anything, I just finally have some free time to rest.

After passing through elevators and corridors, Zhang Ge finally arrived at the door of the captain's room.

Its design was tailored exactly to the size of the bald "War Marshal". To be honest, it was a bit too much for Zhang Ge. For example, he couldn't even reach the control panel for identity authentication.

Fortunately, the Spirit of Vengeance had a deeper connection with him, and did not require any so-called authentication. The door opened automatically after he walked to it. Otherwise, the first difficulty he would have faced today would have been not being able to enter his own house.

As Zhang Ge thought this with some self-mockery, the door of the room in front of him, which was surprisingly large for an ordinary person, was completely opened.

As expected, the interior furnishings were all uniformly larger. Zhang Ge looked like he had strayed into a land of giants, his entire body not even as tall as a chair.

However, this situation was exactly what he wanted... To be honest, he was quite interested in things like "being able to run on the table", "waking up from a bed the size of a room", and "reading a giant book that was almost as tall as himself".

Just as Zhang Ge was thinking about what to play first and walked a distance into the room, he suddenly saw an unexpected but reasonable figure.

Perveti.

These pieces of furniture were too big for Zhang Ge, but just right for her. At this moment, she was sitting quietly by the bed, with her long hair hanging naturally, as if she was meditating on something in silence. Her delicate face was contrasted with the floor-to-ceiling window on the other side that overlooked the boundless starry sky, as if emitting the same soft light as the Milky Way.

Wait... floor-to-ceiling windows?

what is that?

Zhang Ge, who almost overlooked an incongruity, focused his attention on the floor-to-ceiling window.

There, a large amount of filling foam was piled up on top of each other, obviously filling a gap - the size of the gap was almost the same as Perveti.

This also explains why she was able to reach the captain's room faster than herself.

"P.E., Er, Wei, Ti."

She turned her head slightly, gave Zhang Ge an innocent look, and blinked.

ps: I have an exam today, so the update is a little late, but fortunately I still caught up before midnight.

Chapter 265: The Spur to Perveti and the Voyage into the Warp

Facing Perveti who rear-ended an advanced imperial ship, Zhang Ge proposed a punishment...

Let her go through basic education first.

Otherwise, let Zhang Ge teach her right in the room?

He has no educational experience in both his past and present lives, so how could he possibly think that he is more professional than professional educators?

When it comes to how to behave and what are her moral values, Zhang Ge doesn't mind influencing Perveti himself to prevent her from going insane, but teaching her when to go through the door, what to use when eating, and what 1+1 equals should be handled by someone special.

Don’t think these things seem simple. You should know that once people acquire knowledge in a certain area, it is difficult to imagine what it was like before they knew this knowledge. Maybe you think “1+1=2” is simple. After all, isn’t it just one thing plus one thing equals two?

But some children find it difficult to understand that "1" represents "one thing" - although Perviti is not at this level yet, her state of not knowing what common sense exists and what does not exist may be more difficult to deal with than a blank piece of paper.

But then again, we can't just leave everything to others.

Thinking of this, Zhang Ge waved his hand and said, "Looking at her blinking eyes,

"come over."

Upon hearing this, Perveti stood up from her seat and walked over as obediently as ever. At Zhang Ge's further beckoning, she slowly squatted down with her legs together.

"Father."

Facing this oversized daughter he had picked up for free, Zhang Ge helplessly raised his hand upwards, stroking her head, his fingers rubbing through her soft golden hair, while he asked:
