Warhammer 40 Spring: Loyalty of the Multiverse

Chapter 226 The Nun, the Imperial Guard, Astartes
Tiberius stroked his chin, looking at the holographic map projected by the sensors, where countless ships with dynamic white neutral markings had appeared, and fell into deep thought.

The Empire's support is coming at a fast pace!

And how could it be such a coincidence?
They had just stumbled into this star system by accident, and were about to despair and prepare to return to the Golden Throne or be transported to another world, when their own reinforcements arrived.
This left Tiberius stumped, and no matter how he thought about it, he ultimately felt that the Emperor's intervention was the most plausible explanation.

Unable to come up with a reason that could convince himself, Tiberius could only force the reason onto the Emperor's apparition. He turned his head and glanced at his own battle brothers who were... feeding him water and food, pinching his philtrum, applying essential oils... cough cough!
"May the Emperor protect us!" After saying this blankly, he said in the communication channel, "Everyone be on high alert. An unknown force may board this ship. We cannot tell whether they are friend or foe at the moment."

The Astartes who received the order through the communication channel did not hesitate. After preparing everything, they retrieved the various weapons and ammunition that had been evolved during the evolution process from the warehouse and armed themselves a new round.

As for why we didn't use the warship's communications to inquire about these unknown imperial forces?
That's because the ship itself was a chaotic vessel; even after purification, the chaotic machine spirit had dissipated. It had become a warship that could be purified by the Empire at any time.

However, its internal records are completely blank in the overall information on the Empire's ships. Furthermore, the records for each individual Empire ship are also blank.

So even if communication is enabled, how can the two parties confirm that they are family members after they get in touch?
You say you have holograms?

Damn it, don't forget this is a warship of the Reflectors, the Thousand Sons Legion! Those psionic guys, the Chaos Astartes Legion who worship Tzeentch.

They'll just throw some illusions at you, and if you believe the images in the new video, you're in for a lot of trouble.

However, just to be on the safe side, Tiberius still ordered his men to send a message to the unknown Imperial warships that were surrounding them.

They proclaimed their existence, firmly upheld... the Emperor's principles, and held unwavering faith in the Emperor. Especially now, they themselves...

Tai. Solo Ship Destroyer. Bo. Emperor's Chosen Guard. Luo. Reshaping Human Glory. Si.

The mighty leader of the Man-Eating Shark Squad!
He originally intended to state the principles of Imperial Truth, but considering the current state of the Empire and the historical accounts Iron Brilliant had shared with him, he changed the principles of Imperial Truth to the Emperor's Principles.

The long message was sent, but it disappeared without a trace.

Seeing this, Tiberos could only order all his brothers to be on high alert. After setting everything up, he led his brothers, lifted Ironhide above their heads, and the group quickly ran towards the location of the Stormbird gunship.

Although he sent a long message, he couldn't guarantee that the Rift Fortress Commander and the so-called bigwigs from the Inquisition and the Cult of Mechanics would believe the accuracy of this message.

And most importantly... he couldn't rule out the possibility that the Imperial Fleet coming here might not have any Imperial Guards!

The Imperial Guard's combat capabilities weren't something he'd witnessed firsthand. However, word-of-mouth and records in some databases told him that even with nano-cores and at their peak, his small force still couldn't defeat a single Imperial Guard.

At most, they could only delay the attack for a while, and then sacrifice a few people to slow down the Imperial Guards' advance, while everyone else... fled.

After all, with the flight capability of the nanocore, as long as the Imperial Guards weren't equipped with flight packs, they could escape. Bastian Grix and Cassandra Varos, the highest-ranking commanders of the Silent Sisters' forces on the Imperial side throughout the entire Nakmonde Corridor front, watched together the long string of messages sent by Tiberos on the holographic projection.

"Master, is this man trustworthy? Is he really Tiberius, the Master of the Man-Eating Chapter?"

Commander Cassandra Varos was not wearing a helmet. Her short white hair swayed lightly as she gestured (I don't like her hair in a high ponytail).

Although some wrinkles have appeared on her face and around her eyes due to her age, her unconscious head tilt as she asked the final question made her look incredibly cute.

"Commander-in-Chief!" Grix closed the message, then used his privileges to delete and completely erase it from the system. "The Emperor's guidance brought us here. Even if there are countless difficulties and traps, we must overcome them. The orders issued by the Emperor, the Regent, and even Lord Valkyrie have pointed out the direction and path for us. If we shrink back... then I will seriously doubt your loyalty! Commander-in-Chief!"

"Commander! You don't need to question my loyalty to the Emperor... Although I also received this order, the Darlowa system is now a crucial node connecting the entire Empire's territory. If anything goes wrong, the entire Nakmonde Corridor is in danger of falling into the hands of Chaos, so we must be vigilant!" Cassandra Varos's expression changed drastically upon hearing Grix's offensive words, her face filled with anger as she glared at Grix's indifferent expression, rapidly gesturing in sign language until it was almost a blur.

Bastian Grix glanced indifferently at Cassandra Varos, who was nearly a meter shorter than him, as she raged in a fit of impotent fury. The heavy mood he had been feeling due to his command actually eased somewhat.

For him, watching Cassandra Varos, who was usually serious and composed, tease her until she broke down with her words always gave him a sense of relief.

It's like playing with a pet!
Seeing this, Cassandra Varos gritted her teeth and glared at Bastian Glicks. She had lost count of how many times this had happened; every time she told herself not to get angry, but the next time she would still be furious.

Several times I even couldn't help but want to speak up and yell at him!

"Alright, Your Excellencies Commanders! I can clearly sense that the person His Majesty is looking for is on that ship." Just then, a powerful voice rang out behind the two men.

The hatch opened, and a giant, even taller than the original Space Marines, clad in golden armor and with a more well-proportioned physique, stepped forward.

Imperial Guards.

Moreover, the core commander of the Imperial Guard stationed in the Nakmunde Corridor was Atal Tevar, the Shield Guard Company Commander.

He stepped forward, and all the mortals and members of the Mechanicus along the way performed a standard Eagle Salute.

"Lord Tavar, we have already dispatched a reconnaissance team to investigate that warship. Although the Emperor's guidance couldn't pinpoint its exact location on this massive battleship, as long as we have control of the ship, we will eventually find it." Kassandra Varos, seeing the Imperial Guard arrive, no longer held a grudge against Grix for his earlier offense. That guy would act up every two or three days, even more annoying than a green-skinned orc. She could only offer a hawk salute to the Jin army and continue responding with sign language.
