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

"Why did you crash in from that side?"

Listening to Zhang Ge's words, Perveti rubbed her head against his palm lightly, and at the same time, she stretched out a hand to support his chin, making their eyes meet during the action.

As they stared at each other, she drew the wings behind her closer and responded as a matter of course:

"Because I want to see you."

"The other hand."

"Ah."

After Perveti extended her other hand in front of him, Zhang Ge withdrew his own hand and immediately grasped her hand, which was several sizes larger than an ordinary person's but felt strangely soft.

"Don't just use your power to achieve what you want, learn to control it, understand?"

"I can control it."

"No, it's not about limiting your power, but about your behavior. You have to learn to control your actions under this power... This may be a little confusing to you, but it's okay. You have much more time than I do, and I believe you will understand it in the future."

"Ah."

The conversation between the two extended. While Zhang Ge was trying to instill some of what he believed to be the correct worldview into Perveti, he also called the person in charge of logistics and asked them to find a suitable "kindergarten teacher" for Perveti.

When he was on the Alert Star, he was always caught up in wars and had no time to spare, but now, he can finally arrange a complete childhood for Perveti... Thinking of this four-meter-tall unfortunate child sitting at the desk doing homework, Zhang Ge couldn't help but smile... with a sympathetic expression.

I originally wanted to let her rest for two days, but who made her run into trouble like this?

While Zhang Ge was enjoying a peaceful life, the interiors of the Spirit of Vengeance and the Dreadnought were bustling with activity.

Despite Zhang Ge's guidance, the two ships' operations didn't require any interference, but after all, over 200,000 people had to look after themselves, right? The Spirit of Vengeance would certainly look after Zhang Ge, but she wouldn't spare the thought for a bunch of insignificant ants.

Food supply, weapons and ammunition production line start-up, accommodation and storage arrangements, division of various powers, inventory counts...

If Endymion hadn't had the foresight to bring a small operating system, I'm afraid all this alone would have kept me busy for days.

However, even with foresight and Endymion's own ability, it took several Terran hours to arrange all these complicated matters.

Finally, as the navigator who was brought on board sat down on the navigator's "throne" deep inside the ship, the two ships that had stayed in the asteroid belt for a long time finally began to move again after adjusting their posture.

The warning before accelerating, the crowd busy and settling themselves according to the precautions, and Zhang Ge lying on the bed after sending Perveti away.

In the dark and dim universe, two stars lit up.

The tail flame that spewed out from the nozzle, which was tens of kilometers long, was so bright that even other features of the ship were hidden by its own light.

Soon, the two huge ships began to accelerate visibly in the bright light, and the distance between them was quickly shortened to a level that could not be distinguished by the naked eye.

At this time, apart from the flowing data on the control panel, the only thing that both sides could visually distinguish was the light from the nozzle that was still flickering like a background of stars.

Yes, when the voyage really began, it was not humans who brought magnificent wonders to the universe. Instead, the huge ships that originally looked as big as cities from a close distance were indistinguishable from each other in the endless darkness.

Monotonous, even lonely... Fortunately, today, Zhang Ge and his team do not have to spend thousands of years in this loneliness in order to cross the vast distance between the stars like their predecessors in early space exploration.

After sailing for a while, the two ships arrived at a location on the edge of the galaxy that was suitable for subspace navigation. After repeated confirmation with the Eldar, the journey that was about to replace loneliness slowly began.

As everyone held their breath and concentrated, the thin membrane between the real universe and the subspace was penetrated and crushed bit by bit.

Until finally, something was completely broken.

A rift as deep as a black hole appeared out of nowhere before the bows of the two ships. While crushing all common sense and logic that humans could imagine, it also became a grand door leading to the opposite side of reality.

But in the face of this terrifying astronomical spectacle, the two giant ships did not show any hesitation. Instead, they flew into the rift leading to the subspace at a synchronized speed as planned.

At such high speed, in just a moment, their figures completely disappeared from the real universe.

In just a moment, around the two ships, the real universe was replaced by the strange and magnificent scenery of the subspace that was performing super-cognitive wonders every moment.

Despite the protection of Geller's position and the guidance of the navigator, at this moment, the two warships that were enough to bring devastating disaster to the entire planet were like small boats that could capsize in a storm at any time. They could only move forward cautiously with occasional tremors and deviations.

ps: Some readers are still asking about additional updates, so let me say it again, additional updates will be added, but why not in the next two days? You can read the "About Additional Updates" in front of Chapter 261. If you don't want to go back, I'll just give you a brief version: additional updates will start this weekend.

Chapter 266: The cruiser was suddenly attacked in the subspace, and the two warships cleverly used space scalpels

However, although it seemed that they were about to capsize at any time, the two ships were never caught in the storm.

That's right.

With full preparation, warp travel is not as dangerous as most people imagine. Otherwise, it would not be able to bear the burden of maintaining the entire empire as a means of faster-than-light travel.

It is very common for a warship, especially a military warship, to be in service for thousands of years, and it must have gone through countless voyages in the Warp. However, being swallowed by the Warp has not been seen to become the main cause of loss for Imperial warships.

Generally speaking, except for special circumstances such as being attacked by the enemy, it is actually very difficult for a warship in good condition to get lost in the subspace as long as it does not deliberately commit suicide... Of course, small accidents such as occasional uninvited guests in the cabin or some parts being broken into pieces are indeed unavoidable.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the two ships can sail safely.

If there is anything that can be considered special, it is probably that the frequency of appearance of some odds and ends is a bit too high.

From some strange gear parts to specially customized Space Marine power swords, every once in a while, the gravitational fields of the two ships would capture some items that were left in the warp for unknown reasons.

Did they enter the remains of a past battlefield? Or was there a space hulk nearby?

Just as various speculations were still going on in the command room, the alarm buzzer suddenly sounded, interrupting the noise that had not yet formed for long.

The air seemed to stagnate for a moment.

Fortunately, the next moment, after careful identification, the officers discovered that the Spirit of Vengeance itself was not encountering any emergency, but was just a prompt tone due to receiving an emergency message. This relaxed the tense atmosphere a little.

But when the emergency message was called out, everyone became serious again.

It was a distress signal... not from an ordinary ship, but from a Space Marine strike cruiser.

Space Marines are generally the group least likely to get lost in the Warp. After all, most of these people are highly respected and can easily mobilize a large amount of resources. While they can equip their ships with the best crew members and navigators, they also have hundreds of elite warriors available to deal with any emergencies.

Moreover, even if we put aside the internal conditions, from an external perspective, the performance of the battle barges and strike cruisers they are on is generally better than that of ships of the same class, and can withstand much more damage.

However...if all these factors combined result in an accident that forces them to call for help, it means that what is happening inside may be far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Faced with this situation, the officers did not dare to delay and quickly passed the relevant information to Zhang Ge, the final decision maker.

So, what is Zhang Ge’s style of doing things?

I believe everyone is already very clear about this.

As soon as the news reached the captain's room, less than ten Terra minutes had passed and Zhang Ge had already selected the members of the commando team.

It is true that when you are on a boat, joy comes from the sky.

What danger? I, Zhang Ge, fight danger.

After the warning of combat preparation was sounded, a crowd began to surge inside the two ships.

However, in contrast to the busy scene, there were only a handful of people who actually wanted to board the ship with Zhang Ge. Most of the soldiers who were entering various combat positions were just there to be prepared for any eventuality and to prepare for a counterattack.

The reason was that when organizing the commando team, Zhang Ge selected only a small group of elite members on the grounds that "the more people there are in the subspace, the better". These included Perveti, Amelia, the Sword Guard Champion of the Oathed Sinners, the Leader of the Angel of Pardon, Cti, and Yolanda.

Compared with the military deployment of thousands of people on the alert planet, it can be said to be insignificant.

Then I guess the combat effectiveness is equally unremarkable?

Haha, even if you are not familiar with the four people at the back, you must have seen the performance of the two guys in front, right?

And precisely because such a boarding team can be mobilized on the ship at any time, Zhang Ge's initial thought was not to be killed by any monsters after boarding the ship.

Among this group of people, except Yolanda who has little combat power, the others, plus Zhang Ge...if there weren't a large number of big demons among them, then the ordinary evil creatures rushing up would just be killed.

His hope lies in the Warp itself.

As mentioned before, warships generally do not face too much danger in the subspace, but that is under the premise that they are in good condition.

It would be a completely different situation if it was a ship in danger that had lost its position on Geller and was simultaneously unable to take evasive action.

In such a situation, let alone a "small boat" of several thousand meters or more than ten kilometers, even a giant space wreck of hundreds of kilometers may be swept into the depths at any time by an undercurrent coming from nowhere.

If he could encounter such a thing, Zhang Ge felt that with his mortal body, wouldn't it be easy for him to die in battle?

However, as expected, the accident still happened.

Just as Zhang Ge was full of anticipation and the commandos were preparing, the Spirit of Vengeance and the Dauntless began to act on their own.

They were gradually approaching the strike cruiser that was constantly sending out distress signals.

One hundred thousand kilometers, fifty thousand kilometers, thirty thousand kilometers, ten thousand kilometers.

When it comes to this distance, which is almost face-to-face for space combat.

A beam of dazzling white light ripped through the silence of the warp without warning.

The source of the attack was the Dreadnought.

The target was the already dilapidated ship.

The force, which looked like a spear of light but was much more violent, tore at the outer armor of the strike cruiser wantonly...but due to extremely precise calculations and control, it did not continue to penetrate deeper. It only peeled off a layer of the side facing the two ships in the instant of contact, and then completely dissipated as suddenly as it came.

Incomprehensible? But not really.

When its armor cooled down from its molten red-orange state, the attacked side had completely stuck together. The weapons originally deployed on this side were completely removed in a simple and crude manner, effectively avoiding the risk of it being used as a space trap.

In this situation, the two giant ships were able to move closer to each other without restraint... However, their purpose was not to collide.

Visual distance, kilometers, hundreds of meters, and tens of meters.

When it seemed that they were about to collide, the two ships, which had been arranged in a tight formation, only brushed past the left and right sides of the strike cruiser, eventually forming a V shape with it.

The glare lit up again in an instant, and after destroying the other side's weapons just as easily as before, the two ships activated the traction field at the same time, slowly dragging the strike cruiser up, causing it to begin to move and be included in the coverage area of ​​​​Geller's position.

In just this brief moment, the rescue operation, which had not yet begun, suddenly reached nearly 80% of its progress.

Chapter 267: The Weepers and the Grey Knights

Fragments of the strike cruiser's hull, torn apart by the traction field, began to fly everywhere. But even so, the ship, which should have been dead, slowly began to move and eventually maintained a speed that was basically relatively stationary with the two ships.

Soon after, as the stable state of the quasi-real universe constructed by Geller's position enveloped the unidentified strike cruiser, the rescue mission, which should have been extremely dangerous, finally got rid of most of the accidents.

However, it is worth mentioning that it is not recommended for other ships to imitate this behavior.

Just the action of passing by is extremely dangerous, and requires extremely efficient and precise operation of the posture adjustment nozzle to prevent the rescued ship from "sticking" to its own ship for various reasons.

If it accidentally collides with it and creates a breach, destroying the ship's airtightness, then the effect of Geller's stance on its own ship will be greatly reduced, and it may eventually lead to the creation of a second ship that needs rescue.

Yes, although it is not clear why a bubble-like field surrounding a ship requires the ship itself to remain airtight, the fact is there. Even if the principle is not understood, it is best to follow it. After all, there are countless examples in the past. There is really no need to gamble the lives of everyone on the ship to see if you will be the lucky exception.

Take the strike cruiser in front of us as an example. Although it has been re-covered by the Geller Field, it is still full of holes. There are so many holes that even after the two sides were melted, they have not been completely blocked.

This also resulted in the fact that the evil demons that filled the subspace were not expelled, and at most it only prevented the malicious natives from outside from further pouring in.

Of course, it was fortunate that this was the case, so it was still necessary to send a commando team into the ship, otherwise Zhang Ge would really be in tears... However, even if the situation did not develop into that, it was still enough to make him anxious. After the members completed their preparations, in order to prevent more accidents from happening, Zhang Ge immediately urged them to enter the Valkyrie.

Soon, a fighter plane as insignificant as a grain of rice compared to the three large ships broke away from the hangar and flew towards the damaged cruiser that was still sending out distress signals.

It is also at this moment.

In the deepest part of the strike cruiser.

The dull and rhythmic sound of grenade launchers echoed in the corridor. This kind of gunfire was very distinctive. It was much more violent than the noise made by mortal "toys". It was even more like continuous artillery fire than a gun.

This is the bolter used by Space Marines.

The ones wielding the bolter were none other than two Primaris Space Marines whose armor was painted bright yellow.

In the corridor where the sound of gunfire continued to echo, they were moving back to back to each other, their weapons spewing flames, and they used flying bombs to accurately expel the monsters that kept sneaking into the corridor from various places.

"The last remaining shells."

One of them said calmly, pulling out the last two magazines of bolter ammunition from their storage location and handing them to the other.

"No, we can..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted:

"Your shooting accuracy is 13.6% higher than mine. The remaining ammunition can only allow one person to reach the last unconquered compartment... I need you to make rational judgments."

As the words fell, the last magazine still inserted in the grenade launcher of the Space Marine who made the sound had been emptied of ammunition.

Seeing this situation, the other man didn't want to say anything more, but respected the decision made by his brother, who was also a technical sergeant.

The ammunition was exchanged in silence. After the technical sergeant attached his bolter to the magnetic attachment point on the power armor of his brother next to him, the sound of the chainsaw sword replaced some of the gunfire, making the originally staggered gunfire monotonous.

There is no doubt that those cunning and brutal demons also keenly captured this signal.

In just a short period of time, distorted objects with a density several times greater than before rushed into the channel frantically.

Similarly, it only took a moment for the two people who realized what was happening to make the next decision without even exchanging a final glance.
