Warhammer: Black Emperor

Chapter 673 Nukelia Anesthetic Injection
In 904, the black warship "Shadow of Order" set foot in the Storm Starfield in the southern part of the galaxy for the first time, and then went straight through the entire starfield to reach the southeastern edge.

The flagship of the Forge Master, the heavy iron-gray fortress of the Space Dwarves, has been repainted as the deep black Forge.

As soon as the Forge arrived at its anchorage in the real world, a piercing alarm sounded on the bridge.

Rosicky Cech's consciousness sank into the chair of the simulated sanctuary.

The star emitted a blinding light, enveloping the entire galaxy.

Ultraviolet radiation spreads rapidly, causing the star's temperature to rise sharply.

The magnetic particle stream struck the fortress-level energy shield, causing a 3.8% decrease.

Stellar flare.

[As expected, just as my lord said, disasters are frequent among the stars of the Mandala.] While pondering, Rosicky selected star number sixty-one from the disaster response plan he had developed during his subspace voyage.

During its subsequent two-year exploration voyage, the Forge encountered a series of space disasters.

Chaotic asteroid storms, the death explosion of aging stars...

The database of asteroid disasters is continuously updated and shared throughout the Legion.

Just as the Forge arrived at the thirteenth star system it was visiting, the entire warship was captured by a gravitational torrent.

Inside the simulated sanctuary, Rosicky's expression was solemn.

The data stream fed back by the bird divination device allowed him to grasp the situation in the surrounding universe.

Matter and energy bend in the surrounding cosmic space, causing gravitational collapse.

No light can escape the gravitational singularity of the black hole, and the gravitational effects pull the ship like a spider web.

The fortress-level energy shield struggles against gravitational turbulence, decreasing at a rate of 0.1% to 0.2% per second.

To Rosicky's astonishment, he saw a shell-shaped warship drifting against the gravitational currents within the black hole's maw, closing in on his flagship.

As their crystal-clear hulls opened and closed, they released coral-shaped flying machines.

The alien spacecraft drifted in as if it were paddling through water.

[The aliens' space travel and flight technology is outstanding.]
While he was pondering, he issued the order.

"Activate the backup penalty-stage reactor and activate the inert field device."

"..."

"Firepower strike plan, Rosicky 4-8."

Rosicky's command was transmitted to every node through the simulated sanctuary.

The space dwarves' fortress ship became heavy within seconds, an inertial force field enveloping the entire warship.

The Skot Alliance's fortress ships were built using a variety of inert metals mined in the galactic center, which can generate an inert force field to cope with dangerous environments in the event of a disaster.

The center of the Milky Way is no safer than the Mandala constellation, which is also an important reason why the Black Emperor decided to stop at the edge.

A series of feedback runes flashed by rapidly as the "mechanical expert," relying on superhuman computing power, tracked the trajectory of each attack.

He designed one hundred firepower strike plans for his flagship, each a pre-set plan for different types of environments.

When the technical sergeants are conducting strikes, they only need to make adjustments based on the data detected by the avian detectors.

The first number 4 represents different interference environments, and the second number 8 targets slow-moving targets.

As the alien spacecraft resists the gravitational pull of the black hole, its speed also slows down.

The railcar delivers the shell into the launching device, and the machine spirit roars as it spews the shell forward, accelerating through the gravitational current, streaking past like a meteor.

They accelerate through the gravitational currents at two to four times their normal flight speed and detonate at the rune markers.

The dazzling light waves expanded and burst like bubbles.

However, those seemingly slow-moving "corals" drifted and veered, as if drifting with the current to avoid attacks.

Even Eldar ships would find it difficult to avoid such a swift attack.

More like...]
After a moment's thought, Rosicky gave a precise definition of how to evade the alien ships.

[Intuition, even precognition.]
"Prepare for the impact while simultaneously launching a counterattack."

"Torpedo launcher, coverage strike, firepower scheme, 6-1."

Rosicky believes that resisting the gravitational pull of a black hole would lead to a significant energy depletion, and launching another attack would inevitably result in a decrease in maneuverability.

The Coral Spacecraft rotated, simultaneously aiming at the Forge.

Each alien spacecraft possessed five short, stubby cannons, porous like coral, from which blazing blue beams of light shot out. The gravitational turbulence impacted the fortress-level energy shield, causing the final five percent to dissipate amidst the continuous tremors.

The entire simulated sanctuary shook, and the six data niches surrounding the chair went out for two seconds before turning back on.

The space dwarves' heavy fortress-ship withstood the counterattack, pumping up the Punishment-class reactor and creating an opportunity to redirect power to the torpedo launchers.

The school of fish shot out, tearing apart the shimmering "coral," and along with the short, thick, porous cannon barrel, were captured by gravity and flew towards the collapsing black hole.

After the black hole effect disappeared, Rosicky pursued the alien and landed on the planet's surface.

As soon as he stepped onto the ground, he turned his gaze to the battlefield a kilometer away.

Upon seeing the aliens, Rosicky immediately associated them with jellyfish creatures in the sea.

They shimmered, with a transparent "umbrella" on their upper body about four meters in diameter and five tendrils along the edge.

Two tentacles slid across the ground as if dancing.

The remaining three tentacles rose up, holding the short, thick white weapon.

A blue beam of light shot out, swirling like a vortex and sweeping towards the human ranks.

The vortices overlapped one after another without interfering with each other, but instead strangely converged, covering the yellow tank battle group of humans.

As the ripples spread, cracks appeared on the vehicle.

The tank at the center of the vortex disintegrated and shattered, and the crew fled in terror.

Rosicky's gaze swept over the three figures, and he noticed that they all had varying degrees of mechanical modifications.

The two men had a pair of iron hands, while the other man had replaced them with mechanical arms.

Amidst the pitiful screams, the bodies of two indigenous people with iron hands shattered and scattered in the ripples.

The man with mechanical arms clenched his body in pain, but did not fall.

The Master of the Forge's eyes flashed as he sensed the unanimous roar of the machine spirits, and a dense barrage of bullets soared into the air from the human vehicles.

Amidst the roar of artillery fire, the jellyfish-like alien bodies glided along, like round umbrellas floating in the water.

Rosicky tracked the movements of the six aliens, who only began to dodge after the shells were fired from the cannon barrel.

It's more likely intuition than precognition.

Moreover, the alien aircraft can evade, but their ships cannot.

Even so, these aliens are quite peculiar. They bear some resemblance to the space shark-men of the Extreme Starfield, Sahadur, and seem to be a space race evolved from aquatic life forms. Moreover, they possess keen intuition, which should interest our lord.
Just as Rosicky was about to give the order to support the indigenous people, he saw yellow human tanks spewing out streams of molten fire that covered a vast area.

The transparent jellyfish body burned rapidly in the sea of ​​fire, turning to ashes in an instant.

Rosicky's dark eyes showed a hint of surprise. The natives had actually found an effective way to fight the aliens in the second round of attacks and quickly completed the weapon system conversion.

Even the elite of the "Solar Auxiliary Army" would find it difficult to achieve such efficiency.

In a flash, he issued the order.

"Anesthetic!"

"Target: Jellyfish-shaped alien."

As the servo arms of the technical sergeants rotated, anesthetic injections manufactured according to the Nukelia method replaced the firepower system.

Whoosh...

The servo arm locked onto the alien, and a series of anesthetic injections shot out.

The jellyfish slid their bodies, dodging left and right.

However, the servo arm's transmitter has a built-in injection device.

In the third round of attacks, the first syringe of anesthetic hit a transparent, swaying body.

Its transparent body was immediately covered by a gray thread.

The alien's swaying body moved slower and slower, as if captured in slow motion.

thump!
His body crashed to the ground with a sound like a water bag being hit.

The "jellyfish" fell to the ground one after another in the next two rounds of attacks from the technical sergeant.

As the technical sergeants retrieved the anesthetic injections and collected the "jellyfish" aliens, Rosicky activated the translator and walked toward the ceasefire human front.
