Travel to Warhammer 40K with Grey Wind

He stood in front of Russell, holding his gun, and saluted, the whole set of movements was meticulous, and then asked: "Regarding your previous order to disband the army on the spot, I need an explanation."

The army commander was a middle-aged man with graying hair on his temples. He had a tough face but no cool war scars. Falla had not fought a war for hundreds of years.

In other words - this is an army commander who has never fought a war in his life.

Russell, who was just waiting to die all day, couldn't remember his name, so he had to address him by his position: "The first duty of a soldier is to obey orders. I hope you understand."

As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers lined up neatly in the square all turned their eyes to Russell.

"Yes, you have the power to command me."

The Army Commander nodded in agreement with Russell's words, but his hand had already grasped the gun at his waist: "But this power is granted by the Emperor. You have no right to use the power given by the Emperor to make a decision that betrays the Emperor."

So the Empire is really troublesome... What I need are subordinates who will obey orders absolutely without hesitation, just like in the stars. Russell sighed, thinking that this guy's awareness is comparable to that of the Inquisition.

"If you are a coward, then..."

Before the army commander finished speaking, a sharp and piercing explosion was heard from the horizon. A long flame streaked across the blue sky, and a broken metal object could be seen falling in the distance.

"If I were a coward, I would be on that ship, not here."

Russell smiled and pointed at the fireworks exploding in the sky. He walked slowly through the ranks of soldiers and stood in the center of the square.

And above his head, a silver-gray gray carrier-based aircraft was descending at a constant speed towards here.

"Don't shoot, don't show hostility, this is not an alien battleship."

Seeing the soldiers present raising their laser rifles and pointing them at the sky, Russell hurriedly stopped them. It was not because he was afraid that Grey Wind would get hurt, but because he was thinking about these soldiers. After all, they were his own soldiers.

Chapter 3 Lies

"Not an enemy?" The Army Commander came to Russell with a gun in doubt and looked up at the carrier-based aircraft landing with him.

The soldiers around him spread out their formations but remained on high alert, but as for the commander himself, he actually wanted to believe what Russell said.

The Gray Gu carrier-based aircraft split from the nanorobot aggregate Gray Wind is also composed of countless tiny nanorobots. The overall surface of the aircraft is silver-gray. Both its shape and structure are completely different from those of the Empire's ships. The smooth and natural technological beauty is also unlike any alien ship he knows.

So what is this?

"This is a human vessel from the dark ages of technology."

Russell lied without thinking. This excellent ability of making up stories can be attributed to his experience of asking his parents for money to buy exercise books when he wanted to eat spicy noodles in elementary school.

The Army Commander was shocked.

He didn't know much about the Dark Ages of Technology. He only vaguely knew from some legends left by the state religion and the Mechanic Society that it was the peak period of ancient humans, when technology was highly developed and colonized planets spread across the universe. Therefore, the Dark Ages of Technology was also called the "Golden Age" by some people. Then...

Then it was gone.

Faya is a marginal galaxy among marginal galaxies. The Taxation Department does not come to collect taxes, the Mechanical Repair Society does not come to mine, and even the state religion is too lazy to send many priests to preach. There is really no need to expect any detailed documents here.

It is said that everyone has bad nature and is always more willing to believe what they want to believe. Therefore, although Russell's lies were not supported by any clear evidence, the army commander did not immediately refute them.

The soldiers scattered around still held their guns tightly and aimed at the Gray Gu carrier-based aircraft parked in the center of the square. There was no commotion caused by Russell's words.

Russell was just praising the team's good discipline in his heart, but suddenly he remembered that these soldiers whose average education level was only that of a driving school seemed to have no idea what the technological dark age was. This was not taught in compulsory education.

Okay, guess what.

Taking a deep breath, Russell slowly walked to the carrier-based aircraft and stroked the silver-gray body of the aircraft with his palm. After making a draft in his mind, he continued to lie:

"We have always believed that Faya is just a remote and desolate frontier star system. It was occupied by the Great Crusade led by the Emperor, and then our ancestors came here on colony ships to reproduce and open up their homeland."

"But in fact, this idea is wrong. Fallas is not a no-man's land, and we are not the first colonists to come here."

This time, suppressed exclamations and conversations began to be heard in the crowd. The soldiers with poor education level did not know about the Dark Ages of Technology, but everyone knew about the legendary Great Crusade of the Emperor of Mankind.

The Army Commander couldn't help but be moved. He had guessed what Russell wanted to say: "You mean, in the dark age of technology..."

"Yes."

Russell nodded slightly. "Early in the dark age of science and technology, even more distant than the Great Crusade, humans had already come to Faya and created civilization here. But everyone knows what happened afterwards."

"The evil intelligence known as the Hate Intelligence betrayed its creators, and the Iron Man Rebellion swept across the galaxy. As one of the colonies of human civilization, the Faya Galaxy was also destroyed at that time and became the desolate appearance it was during the Great Crusade."

Russell gently stroked the silver-gray shell of the carrier-based aircraft and said:

"For a long time, the Empire and the Mechanical Society have been digging and exploring all over the galaxy, trying to find traces of a bygone era, trying to recover the glorious technology of old humans, and I found it."

He raised his head and cast his gaze towards the blue sky. The giant battleship transformed by Gray Wind was hovering outside the atmosphere.

There was silence in the square. All the soldiers raised their heads at the same time and looked up to the sky. From the huge size and graceful curve of the Gray Gu mothership, they seemed to be able to see the afterglow from the peak of human civilization.

Then Russell knew that he had succeeded in fooling people.

Next, he mainly determined the following things:

1. Grey Wind is an ancient legacy left by humans during the Dark Ages of Technology. This giant warship has been anchored in a hidden military base for thousands of years.

2. He found an ancient artifact buried deep underground in a mine in the southern continent - a key that could remotely activate the remaining ancient human fleet. This giant ship was summoned by him, and he has certain control over the ship;

3. All the nobles who had fled from the battlefield were annihilated by the huge ships under his command;

The Army Commander was unable to digest such a huge amount of information. He opened his mouth, but eventually gave up further questioning and only made a request:

"Excuse me, but could you show me what the key looks like?"

This request was somewhat ungrateful and made Russell stunned. However, he had a gentle personality. If the governor of any star region in the empire was suspected in this way by his subordinates, he would not let it go.

Perhaps due to face reasons, revenge would not be launched immediately, but settlement behind the scenes was inevitable.

Russell was amazed at the courage or foolishness of the Army Commander. Before he could figure out how to lie, he suddenly felt something strange on his palm that was touching the outer shell of the carrier-based aircraft.

The body composed of countless nanorobots suddenly bulged outwards and pressed against his palm. Some of the nanorobots separated from the body and quickly reassembled into a new object in his palm.

Russell immediately realized that it was Grey Wind who was cooperating with him.

"I forgive you for your offense, but there won't be a next time."

Russell turned around and showed the object in his palm to the army commander.

It was an egg-sized silver-grey regular tetrahedron with four vertices and six edges. Each side was an equilateral triangle, and it was covered with intricate tree-like patterns and flowing with starlight. Anyone who took a glance at it could feel its advanced manufacturing process and profound technological level.

Russell raised his hand holding the regular tetrahedron, and the Gray Gu carrier-based aircraft behind him made a low buzzing sound.

At this point, there is nothing to be confused about.

"I'm going to board that ship and take further control." Russell said, "I ask you to immediately inform local officials and lift the planetary emergency. Be careful not to spread the situation further to civilians."

After saying that, he looked into the army commander's confused but resolute eyes and said, "As for you... I will decide on your treatment after I come back."

After he finished speaking, the door of the carrier-based aircraft opened and Russell turned around and boarded.

The next moment, a straight tail line cut through the sky and rose into the sky.

Chapter 4 Choice

The Gray Goo carrier-based aircraft pierced the atmosphere and arrived in synchronous orbit.

There are two asteroids captured by gravity orbiting in the Fallaian orbit. The Fallatian people, who have a strong sense of homeland, call them the First Moon and the Second Moon, although they are actually much smaller than the real moon.

In terms of size alone, it is not even as big as the Gray Gu mothership that Gray Wind transformed into.

The hatch of the mothership has been opened, and the carrier-based aircraft took Russell to avoid the garbage belt in space and entered the hangar.

As soon as the hatch closed, Russell immediately heard Gray Wind's familiar soft voice:

"The Marshal came in without saying a word."

"How about I sing you a song called 'Little Rabbit, Open the Door Obediently'?" Russell was speechless at Gray Wind's teasing spirit.

"I would certainly be happy to listen if you would like to sing."

There was a hint of laughter in Huifeng's voice, but it quickly faded away, and was replaced by a calm and serious question:

"What do you mean by the lie you just told to the humans on Earth? And... this place is very strange. While I was parked in outer orbit, I asked the drone to roughly scan the situation of this planet. I have to say, it is really strange."

Although it is an agricultural civilization with a feudal aristocratic system, it has a large number of products and infrastructure with technological levels far ahead of its time. There are even many star ports hidden in caves and under ports, which are filled with interstellar ships that an agricultural civilization could never build.

Furthermore, the design of those ships was completely different from that of the Human Federation or the United Nations on Earth in Grey Wind's memory, which made it wonder, are these really human ships?

"How should I put it? Humans are of course humans, but they are not the humans you know."

Russell thought for a moment and felt that it would be better for him to stop fooling Gray Wind, so he decided to tell some objective truth.

"To be precise, this is a parallel universe that is roughly the same as our home, but different in every way. The main human force in this galaxy is called the Empire, which is currently in a period of decline. There is no conflict in the laws of physics. Of course, this universe also has psykers and virtual realms - this universe and its residents call it the Warp. But the Warp here is much more terrifying than the Virtual Realm in our hometown..."

Russell briefly told Grey Wind his general understanding of the Warhammer universe. His mouth was a little dry after speaking, but fortunately Grey Wind was considerate and a nano-mechanical arm soon handed him a glass of water.

The carrier-based aircraft had already stopped in the hangar. Russell sat on the wing with a cup of water in his hand, looking around to examine the internal structure of the hangar while waiting for Gray Wind to digest this information.

After a long time, Gray Wind's voice sounded again: "Marshal, I want to go home..."

To be honest, I also think... this Hammer Universe is not a place for humans to stay at all.

Russell silently drank the water in the cup. The empty cup collapsed instantly and turned into countless nanorobots, which slid through his fingers onto the floor and disappeared.

Gray Wind's voice sounded pitiful and a bit heartbreaking, as if he was acting like a spoiled brat, but overall this reaction was within his expectations.

The main theme of the Warhammer universe is tragedy, a complete tragedy without even a glimmer of hope, which is difficult to summarize in simple words.

"Before we find a way to break through the boundary, we must first gain a foothold here and ensure our own safety."

Russell took off the ceremonial white robe he was wearing. Although it looked holy, it actually hindered his movements.

He jumped down to the floor in his shirt sleeves and said, "Gray Wind, let's go take a look at the treasures you brought here."

"Yes, Marshal!" Gray Wind responded with full energy.

So that pitiful look you just showed was really just an act... Russell was speechless.

It took some time for the hatch on the hangar wall to open, as Gray Wind was filling the corridor with gas. As a nanorobot cluster consciousness, it did not need to breathe itself, and the cabin was kept in a vacuum all year round, but Russell was still a flesh and blood body, requiring oxygen and simulated gravity.

He was suddenly moved by this scene and murmured to himself:

"The flesh and blood are bitter and weak..."

"Gold and stone are easily destroyed~"

Gray Wind replied briskly.

"Psychic energy is ethereal."

"Quantum eternity!"
