Warhammer: Expedition to the Multiverse from 30k

They had not, and had not had the opportunity to, consider whether their forces would be so numerous that they would congest the webway.

Uslan felt envious and sad. He comforted himself by saying that the stronger the allies were, the safer the elves would be, thus covering up his low mood.

"My fellow Emperor's children, I must warn you that the current webway may not be able to carry so much traffic. Many things must be explained clearly to avoid an awkward situation due to information asymmetry, which would damage the relationship between our two parties."

The serious attitude of the Eldar prophet calmed down the high-spirited primarchs a little. They seemed to be ready to use all their strength to slaughter the damn traitors.

"If it was the webway controlled by the ancient saints in ancient times, let alone your limited force, even the Kolk orcs in their heyday, whose military force is enough to fill several star systems, can be easily transported by the webway."

"At that time, relying on the high mobility of the webway, we almost defeated the enemy."

"What now?" Luo Xi vaguely felt that Uslan was going to tell him some bad news.

"Now, although the Webway is still running, according to our observations, its carrying capacity is decreasing. This is related to the War in Heaven in the past. Of course, the current human civil war has also increased the load on the Webway."

Uslan spoke very cryptically, and Luo Xi was full of impatience and asked the other party to make his words clearer.

Guilliman was even considerate enough to hand Urslan a cup of tea, asking the Primarch to serve him tea, and the Eldar was obviously very pleased.

"This is a long story, let me tell you in detail."

"In order to break our advantage in webway speed, the Necrons teamed up with a C'tan named [Nyadratha the Burner] to crack our webway with violence and C'tan technology. They used a blasphemous creation called [Tombstone Gate] to open the webway."

"The webway is built in the gap between the real universe and the subspace. It is neither on the other side nor on this side, but in a high-dimensional state. The forcible cracking of the Star God destroyed the integrity of the webway, so it is more fragile and unstable."

Uslan was about to show off his knowledge of Webway again, but was stopped by Roshi.

"Please explain it more clearly by giving an analogy."

Luo Xi couldn't understand the overly complicated theories, but the analogies given by Uslan were very easy to understand.

The prophet was speechless. These listeners really did not know how to respect the person who imparted knowledge.

In desperation, he explained the current situation of the Internet in plain language.

"You should have said that earlier. So what you mean is that the current webway is actually in a damaged state and needs to be repaired. It is difficult for you Eldar to repair the abnormal loopholes in the webway now. You can only reduce the impact of the damage on the whole by closing the relevant webways."

If there was a leak somewhere in the webway, the Eldar, the ancient saints' royal maintenance workers, could only block the entire webway completely to prevent the spread of the Sea of ​​Souls.

Uslan nodded, indicating that this was indeed the case.

As mentioned before, the Eldar are losing the inheritance of past technology and memories, one of which is the construction and maintenance of the Webway. Due to the damage caused to the Webway by past wars and the Necrons using the Tombstone Gate to forcibly hack into the Webway, the effectiveness of the Webway is no longer as good as before.

It's like an underwater tunnel, with leaks in some places, but they have no way to repair it. They can only close that section of the tunnel and block it completely to prevent the leak from spreading.

"But according to my estimation, the carrying capacity of the Webway is still quite huge. As for how much we can carry, we have to wait for the results of practice. After all, we, the Eldar, have never reached its upper limit."

Although the situation described by Uslan was not too pessimistic, it also poured cold water on everyone.

"There are problems, but they are not big. There is no need to be angry." Luo Xi decided, and don't be too pessimistic.

"If it doesn't work, we can just teleport in batches. We can send a vanguard to Terra first, and the rest of the troops can continue to enter after the webway is overloaded."

The lion's eyes were uncertain, and he increasingly suspected that Ada was cheating, or perhaps plotting a conspiracy that they were unaware of.

It is too difficult for Ryan to truly trust someone. Perhaps he doesn't even trust his own blood brothers 100%.

"Do not look at me like that, Emperor's Child. The fact that the Webway has become so bad is related to one of your brothers."

"We the elves are the victims of the whole thing. We haven't even asked you for an explanation yet, yet you're blaming us." Uslan said angrily.

Uslan found that he and the Lion King of Caliban were particularly incompatible. The other party always seemed to be looking for trouble with him. In comparison, Guilliman and Sanguinius were much easier to get along with.

"It has something to do with one of my brothers. Which one are you referring to?" Ryan raised his sword-like eyebrows, his lion eyes sparkling.

A sudden idea flashed in Luo Xi's mind, and he remembered a person whose presence was not strong but was related to him everywhere - Magnus, the Red King.

"The Red Devil? The Lord of Prospero?"

Uslan nodded, it was this person.

"When Magnus discovered Horus' betrayal and corruption, he was anxious and held a grand ceremony in Prospero. He gathered the psychic energy of the Thousand Sons and crossed the warp to warn the Emperor on Terra."

"Then unfortunately, it was his warning that accidentally pierced the webway under the Terran Palace, causing the webway to be damaged. A large number of Warp demons rushed straight to Terra through the hole. According to my observation, your emperor spent a lot of effort to prevent the demons from invading."

"This is all the fault of your good brother. He deserved the suffering he suffered at the hands of the Space Wolves and Leman Russ."

Uslan disliked the Red Magnus very much. His fearlessness and arrogance were taboos for every psychic. At least now the warp was like a cesspool, and the Primarch was swimming like a butterfly in the sea of ​​dung, and excitedly spreading those filthy things to other people.

Although ignorance is bliss, the huge mess created by the other party does require everyone to bear the price.

Hearing this, Ryan couldn't help but look away to ease his embarrassment. After scolding the elves for a long time, he found out that his own blood brother was also to blame. This made the lion feel a little embarrassed.

"Alright, alright, stop arguing. We can't change what has already happened. Let's think about how to break the impasse." Luo Xi stepped forward to smooth things over. He didn't want this troublesome Caliban man to start causing trouble again.

"Let's put the matter of the webway aside for now. How much effect this ancient relic can have depends on our luck. We need to seize more initiative in what we can do."

A mysterious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. There was something he wanted to do for a long time, and now he finally had the conditions.

"We need to call the Hermit out, he's been in that cell long enough trying to redeem himself, we need him to play his part."

Chapter 302: The Demon Enslavement Plan

As early as the time when Guilliman was assassinated, a Word Bearers hermit loyal to the Emperor came to Macragge to surrender. He mastered a large amount of Warp sorcery of the Word Bearers Legion and had an extraordinary understanding of the Warp.

It can be said that he is a thorough expert in the field of subspace and the entire extreme star field.

At that time, Roche and Guilliman proposed a hypothesis: that is to summon demons from the Warp, and use the ability of the Untouchables to completely kill the Warp demons, to coerce and bribe them to sell out the intelligence of the Warp and serve humanity.

In fact, for a long time humans have had a great misunderstanding of the Warp Demons. Many people believe that these monsters born in the Sea of ​​Souls will not fear death. However, in fact, demons are also afraid of death.

Killing a Warp Demon in the real universe does not harm the other party's essence, but only destroys the vehicle through which the other party descends into the material world, and then exiles it back to the Warp.

As time passed and the devil almost recovered, he regained the ability and ambition to invade the real universe.

This is a very incredible and bold idea. So far, human beings’ understanding of the subspace is still very passive, and even remains at a very rough level.

How many forces there are in the subspace, what kind of layout they have made against humans, and how to effectively counter-pressure the space are still in the exploratory stage.

For example, the anti-subspace demon rules summarized by Hill were rules that were summarized bit by bit through exhaustive method and experience in actual combat. They may not be applicable to other situations.

Before the loyalists plan to return to defend Terra through the webway, if they can get some intelligence about the traitors in advance, it will undoubtedly give them a great advantage.

Interstellar warfare is largely a war of intelligence. If you can obtain intelligence that is ahead of the enemy, you have already secured nearly half of the chances of winning. The reason why the rebel legions are so difficult to deal with is because the subspace is on the opposite side and the intelligence advantage is on the enemy side.

Guilliman and Roche shared their ideas with everyone present. In a sense, the people here have formed a community of interests and are all in the same boat, so there is naturally no need to be too secretive.

Roboute even had the dark thought of dragging everyone into this. Capturing and enslaving warp demons was such an extremely blasphemous act. If he was the only one doing it, there might be some constraints, but if everyone did it, then there would be no big problem.

If everyone does it, it means no one has done it.

Even if it is accidentally exposed one day, he can confidently say that both Lion and Sanguinius have done it, so why are they targeting him alone?

Uslan was silent after hearing this. He began to understand that the reason why humans wanted to seize the Black Stone was not only to prevent the infiltration and corrosion of the subspace, they even wanted to arrogantly counterattack the subspace.

Sanguinius, who had previously exiled a Great Keeper of Slaanesh and a Bloodthirster of Khorne in the Signus system, knocked his head, surprised at the audacious idea of ​​his seemingly honest brother.

Only the Archangel himself knew that when facing the two Chaos Daemons, the other party had tried to negotiate with him: as long as Sanguinius was willing to join Chaos, the Most High would completely cure the difficult-to-eradicate genetic disease of the angel's offspring.

Before the return of the Primarch of the Blood Angels, they were called Ghouls, and this was not groundless. Every Astartes of the 9th Legion had a bloodthirsty instinct, a genetic disease called thirst.

This is the secret that Sanguinius buried deep in his heart, and it is also a taboo that the Blood Angels Legion cannot speak of.

In the Signus system, he was indeed shaken and hesitated by the temptation of the devil. If it were not for the sacrifice of the Legion's pharmacist Herlous who alerted Sanguinius, the archangel would have given up hope and become a puppet of Chaos.

"Guilliman, your idea... is very bold. I should have stopped you, but I believe in your wisdom. You are not like Magnus, who is so foolish that he appears to be wise. You are good at planning before you act and thinking twice before you act. Now that you have thought it through, then just do it."

"But you have to remember that the Warp Demons tell lies all the time. In other words, any suggestion they make is partially correct and partially wrong. The Demons will infinitely magnify the correct part, thus letting people down their guard."

Guilliman was surprised by Sanguinius's reasonableness. He had thought that he would have to spend more time to persuade the regent to give him permission.

After all, the Second Empire now has a regent, and Guilliman must follow his ideas and consent in both public and private matters.

"What about you, Ryan?"

"what is your opinion?"

Everyone turned their attention to the Lion King. The opinion of the Duke of Protector of the Country was very important. After all, he now controlled most of the military power of the Second Empire.

When hearing this plan, Lion couldn't help but marvel at Guilliman's boldness.

Guilliman is such a fucking genius, why didn't he think of that?

Enslaving demons, torturing demons, squeezing out all their value and then slaughtering them... It was exactly the same thing that the Dark Angels had been doing.

If Guilliman didn't do this, then Lion would have to secretly conduct warp summoning experiments on his own ship. He was tired of being in a passive state all the time.

It's just a matter of capturing some demons and interrogating them. The Dark Angels are very good at this.

But on the surface, he still didn't want to give Guilliman too much praise. After all, this guy was too irritating most of the time, and showing him a good face would make him even more excessive.

He had to suppress Guilliman and not let him act recklessly.

"I have no objection, but when you do it, I must be there to supervise you to prevent anything from getting out of control. This is my responsibility."

"I am the commander-in-chief of the Second Empire. Any threat must first pass me."

The lion stroked his sword proudly. He had too many questions that he wanted answers to.

The three primarchs voted unanimously in favor of the resolution, which meant that this matter would be implemented quickly.

This brief meeting ended temporarily, and Guilliman sent his own think tank director Titus Prieto to the cell where the Word Bearers hermit was imprisoned to completely release this key figure.

Now, it's time for him to shine.

Roche personally followed Titus to the cell where the hermit had been torturing himself for years. This fanatical follower of the Emperor used torture to relieve his inner guilt, even though no one here thought he was guilty.

As a son of Lorgar, he was able to defy his genetic instincts and uphold his faith in the Emperor, and he was a loyalist worthy of admiration.

When the hermit, who was wearing anti-psychic shackles all over his body, saw Luo Xi coming, an expression of relief finally appeared on his face. The time for him to atone for his sins had finally come.

The hermit held a quill in his hand, and while wearing heavy shackles and chains, he worked non-stop to write a copy of Lorgar's "Sacred Words" and other secrets of the Warp that were only recorded in his mind.

The hermit must ensure that even after his death, the knowledge in his head must remain, providing guidance and assistance to the loyalists in their fight against the traitors.

"You finally came."

The hermit's figure had become extremely thin, totally unlike the body shape of an Astartes who had undergone extraordinary surgery. His skin was pale and his eye sockets were deeply sunken, as if he had not had a good rest for a long time.

"If it weren't for the conversation you had with me a few years ago, which brought the Emperor's will that I must not enter the arms of death until I have atonement for my sins, I would have wanted to die long ago.

Really, every time I fall asleep, my eyes are filled with the dead brothers who are questioning me. My sword is stained with the blood of my brothers. I have failed the Emperor. "
