This is our Warhammer journey

Chapter 222 Interesting Planet

The Dawn Fleet began to slowly sail into the Pioneer System.

The four members of Dawnwing stood before the Thinker array of the battleship, gazing at the holographic projection of the entire galaxy with meaningful expressions.

This is a galaxy consisting of 8 major planets, 66 satellites, and countless asteroids, comets, and meteorites.

The outermost planets are four gas giants, and the innermost planets are four rocky planets.

Yes, we're very familiar with each other.

Many of the Thunderforged Armorers who had experienced the overall review of the Great Expedition subconsciously gripped their weapons, while also looking at the four 'Primarchs', secretly determined not to let them go up no matter what.

During the Great Crusade, the Shadowmoon Wolves Legion, led by Warmaster Horus, also dealt with a star system identical to our solar system and killed a being known as the 'Emperor' on it.

This also indirectly hints at the general's rebellion and the emperor's decisive battle with his son.

In this universe, metaphysics truly exists. Even these ancient warriors who believed in the truth of the Empire, after correctly understanding the so-called faith and the subspace, still believed that such laws verified through methodology should be believed.

"That star on Horus back then shouldn't be here, right?"

Romulus asked Caul somewhat uncertainly.

Time travelers know a lot of things, but they don't know such precise coordinates.

They've been searching for Istvan III for a long time but haven't found it, even with the help of the Empire.

As for Caul, although he did not personally experience many of the events of that era, he should be quite clear about these secrets.

".no."

The former leader of the Forge dragged over a box of storage disks, trying them out one by one. When he reached the thirteenth, a glint flashed in Caul's eyes, and he spoke:
"That galaxy has been completely destroyed, and it was located on the edge of the Milky Way. The coordinates here are—"

The mechanical components on his body entered a high-speed calculation state, Kaul replied again.

"This place has no occult connection to the world of Terra's Throne, and according to the scan, all four rocky planets are full of traces of artificial modification. Venus and Mars are terrestrial planets, both of which are habitable."

He has also been studying national education cases recently, and there are some results and data to show.

Kaur's answer brought a sigh of relief to the tense crowd around him.

"Report: Interstellar communication in this galaxy is experiencing significant interference."

The communications officer reported.

"What about the connection with Astorgius?"

"Everything is normal, but we can't get any closer to the interior of the galaxy. Do we need to confirm this in person?"

Starlight streamed through the observation window into the starship's interior, and Romulus's gaze locked onto the gas giant still adorned with rings.

It was very different from the photos of the mother planet I remembered. The rings looked very thin, and the asteroid's orbit was unusually scattered.

It's like being forcibly kneaded together by some force, and then returning to its original state when that force leaves.

"Leave a portion of the fleet to maintain contact with the outside world, while the main fleet continues to approach and analyze the enemy within the star system."

There is a large amount of debris at the location of 'Earth' orbit, which is initially identified as green.

There are also scattered Mechanicus fleets floating in outer space.

"Is it possible to contact the local mechanical engineering department?"

Romulus thought for a moment, then continued to ask, and took the information that Caul had finally retrieved from the memory bank.

The Astra (Pioneer β) system was discovered by Mars 1690 years ago and registered as a small forged world. During this time, several Mechanicus pioneer fleets fought in the nearby space. Finally, 146 years ago, it was completely taken over by the Martian forged sage, Creek Wilkins.

Therefore, Beta Astra, named by the Mechanics, was classified as part of Mars, and both the Mars and Venus regions are currently undeveloped.

It wasn't that the Great Sage lacked the ability to develop it, but rather that the Great Sage didn't want more people to know about this planet.

The report obscured the relationship between the galaxy and the solar system, and the last piece of information regarding Mars emphasized the ownership of the galaxy by the Great Sage Crick Wilkins.

The birth record of this great sage who forged the stone is 372.M41.

It's alright, it shouldn't have much to do with the gods and ghosts of the subspace.

"Always secretly plotting big things."

Romulus felt disgusted. It must be that the Mechanicus had discovered some ancient technology again, either necromancy or a star god.

"This is Krieg Wilkins, the Great Sage of Mechanics, Unknown Fleet. Please identify yourselves."

"This is the sacred property of Om Messiah. Unknown fleet, please leave immediately."

As the fleet approached, the clear voice of the Great Sage of Forging emanated from the server system.

Romulus and Arthur exchanged a glance, confirming that the other was unaware that a plaintext message had been sent.

“We received a plaintext telegram from the Cult of Mechanics. The planet needs support. This is the record.”

“I don’t remember.” At the bottom of the forged city on the lava surface of the third planet, Creek Wilkins said somewhat irritably as he maneuvered the unmanned fleet to deal with the greenskins while shifting the combat pressure to the surface natives with the ground forces he was gathering.

But when his gaze fell on his own identification code, he was clearly stunned.

He looked up and saw a colossal device at the bottom of this forged city, isolated by a thick, transparent material, connecting to unknown things beneath the mantle.

The device is predominantly black, with a seemingly dormant module at its center. In the open space in front of this giant device are countless densely packed coffins.

'Do you still have the energy left?'

A hint of horror appeared in his eyes.

Having revived space necromancy technology, not only has it attracted the Greenskins, but it's also possible to intercept their identity codes and send communications outwards.
"Great Sage Krieg, we have detected a massive threat of Greenskins on the planet's surface. Do you need our assistance?"

Romulus's voice rang out again. At this moment, the Dawn Fleet had approached 'Earth'. This planet, which clearly had five different climates, was now surrounded by the Greenskin Fleet. The planetary defense fleet was putting up a fight, and for a time, the two sides were evenly matched.

The Dark Angel's report has arrived: the Mechanicus fleet guarding this planet is unmanned.

No wonder the fleet was still fighting the Greenskins to a standstill.

For a great sage of forging, this fleet with only cruisers as its flagship is far too meager.

"Great Sage Krik, do you need assistance?"

The Primarch's attitude was very firm.

"."

Krieg wanted to say he didn't need it, but faced with such a large fleet, he found he couldn't be too sharp in his tone.

Moreover, his previous attitude clearly alerted the other party that something was wrong.

Creek subconsciously frowned at the mechanical structure above his brow bone.

In particular, we must not let them discover the secrets of this planet.

He gripped the scepter tightly; at this crucial juncture of reaping the rewards, troubles always seem to follow one after another.

Let's just brush it off. He'll soon achieve his goal, and annihilating a fleet won't be too difficult.

He just happened to be having trouble dealing with the green-skinned people on this planet, as well as these damned natives.

"Yes, Astra III is under serious threat from the Greenskins, and there are still a large number of human traitors on the surface who are manipulating Xenomorph technology. I need you to deal with them as well."

He spoke, his gaze falling on the mobile city that was colliding with the green-skinned ancient trash.

The humans on the surface have mastered the ancient technology of that race called the Necromancers, who are quite troublesome. Coupled with the Orks, these people will suffer in ground wars.

"can."

Romulus nodded naturally, raised one hand, and everyone around him sprang into action at that moment.

He opened his mouth and said:
"We will take over the planetary air defense system—Tiberos, and prepare the Man-Eating Sharks to land on the surface in conjunction with the armored forces."

"Great Sage, I need your assistance with necessary information."

Decisive, full of imperial style.

Great Sage Krieg breathed a sigh of relief, and then spoke:

"Of course, I would be delighted."

Please keep your communication channels open.

As the starship quickly arrived and came to a stop in near-Earth orbit, two ground forces and one Dark Angel force rode in Stormbirds toward the surface.

Romulus crossed his arms and, persuaded by the Invincible Iron Guard and Navaradaren, abandoned his plan to land on the planet's surface.

'Let me see what you're hiding.'
-
In the distant past, in the very center of the eastern arm of the Milky Way, there existed a highly advanced branch of human civilization.

They have cracked the mystery of infinite energy.

They erected giant discharge coils on the Martian sands, left behind egg-shaped giant trees in the forests beneath Venus's thick atmosphere that could control artificial rain, and even used unknown gravitational manipulation technology to support the towering rings that orbit Saturn.

The surging plasma is merely a tool for breaking down particles, the torrential rain is just a manifestation of promoting circulation, and the towering fireworks are merely a means of extracting rare substances from the earth's crust. Through unknown forces, this ancient civilization can even manipulate the four fundamental forces.

They defied the laws of physics.

And thus, in an unimaginable way, a magnificent spectacle was built.

During the peak of this human lineage, they possessed the ability to manipulate nature at will.

This power inevitably reminds one of—

The Great Sage of Forging gazed at the eerie green Rubik's Cube in his hand, lost in reminiscence.

Those beings that were only mentioned among more ancient races.
