Warhammer: Expedition to the Multiverse from 30k

An extremely complex and tangled expression of pain mixed into a pot of strange potion on his face, forcing him to drink it.

"How could it be possible? How could the Black Stone Fortress used by our race to fight against the Necrons and the Star Gods be used by the forces of Chaos?"

"The Blackstone Fortress was forged by Val, the God of Forging. Without corresponding verification methods and operating means, it is theoretically impossible to control the Blackstone Fortress."

"But this is the fact, Prophet." Luo Xi said helplessly, "Now is not the time to doubt or blame ourselves. We need your wisdom. Tell us what the weakness of this thing is and how we can defeat it."

Uslan did not rush to answer. He tried hard to recall the information about the Black Stone Fortress in his memory. He was sure that he had seen this powerful weapon of the ancient elves in some lost materials.

It's just that he doesn't know more about them because the elves are no longer able to use them.

With the help of his psychic vision, he could see the circle of sub-space energy field surrounding the surface of the Blackstone Fortress, which was similar to a mosaic, and he immediately realized that the Blackstone Fortress had entered a complete state of war.

"I bet those running dogs of Chaos don't know how to control the Blackstone Fortress. This is an ancient secret of our race. Now the Blackstone Fortress is reacting to the stress. It feels the danger of destruction, so it has triggered these self-defense measures."

Uslan's words made Ryan's brows relax a little. At least the intelligence from this pointy-eared Eldar had told them that the Blackstone Fortress had been fully activated and that they could indeed pose a real threat to these alien creations.

They had no idea to what extent this alien relic could be used. If the Blackstone Fortress was not in complete condition now, Ryan would have to consider retreating temporarily.

"In the distant past, the Blackstone Fortress would only activate the Warp Domain to protect itself when it encountered the Necrons' World Engine or even the Star God himself."

"Then how did the enemies of Blackstone Fortress destroy it in the past? Give a few more examples." Luo Xi had a vague guess in his mind, but still asked.

“That was pure violence, of course. I admit that your celestial warships are indeed very good weapons of war, but compared to the battles in heaven in the past, they are just minor skirmishes.

The Necrons' world engines are extremely aggressive, and the Star Gods can directly manipulate the material universe itself to launch attacks. It would not be surprising if they just grabbed a star and used it as a bowling ball." The prophet shrugged.

Luo Xi was not annoyed when he heard Uslan's words. Thundercloud was just the first generation of warships. He believed that one day humans would be able to catch up with the technological level of the Necrons.

"If you believe me, you can send a team of Space Marines to take me to the core control center of the Blackstone Fortress while the warships suppress the Blackstone Fortress with firepower. I have a way to awaken its consciousness."

The words of the Eldar prophet made Ryan look sideways slightly. In this extremely dangerous war, the Eldar had the courage and determination to go to the enemy's base camp and paralyze the opponent's fortress. They were indeed different from the cunning aliens in his impression.

"I will let Costwain lead a tactical force composed of Deathwing and Terrorwing to escort you to complete the mission. I hope you will not let me down." Ryan said seriously.

"I will fulfill my mission." Uslan leaned on his staff, looked Ryan straight in the eyes and gave an affirmative answer.

"The Mechanicus reinforcements I brought are now on standby at the outer edge of the Beta Garmon system. After the previous raid, the Iron Legion and the Astartes of the Emperor's Fangs have defeated the Thousand Sons and forced them to abandon their ships and escape."

Luo Xi brought good news to Ryan, but the Lion King smiled disdainfully. This group of traitors was full of suspicion and calculation.

It's only a matter of time before they start quarreling among themselves.

"As for the Iron Warriors...oh, the Iron Warriors escaped. They evacuated the battlefield and are escaping in the opposite direction."

During the time when Luo Xi and Ryan were talking, the Iron Blood, the flagship of the Fourth Legion, which had just been trying to support the Brilliant Light, had given up any major moves.

They changed direction and chose not to continue to interfere in the battle between the rebel fleet led by the Spirit of Vengeance and the imperial fleet led by the Sky Eagle.

It was rushing towards Mandeville Point on the edge of the galaxy, seemingly intending to leave the battlefield directly.

Luo Xi had a new understanding of the performance of Tie Yong. This group of iron-headed and stubborn people were actually flexible at this time and did not choose to continue fighting.

Otherwise, Roche would not have intended to let these Iron Warriors go. The Sons of Perturabo had caused heavy slaughter on the people of the Empire. The rebellious Fourth Legion was the one who truly worked hard for Horus's cause, and the human blood stained on their hands could no longer be washed away.

"Don't worry about them for now. The Iron Blood escaped, the Radiant Light was captured, and Horus had two fingers cut off. We will settle the score with them later!"

The only ones still fighting on the battlefield were Horus's Vengeful Spirit, the Emperor's Children's Pride, Mortarion's Endurance, and the rebels' greatest reliance, the Blackstone Fortress.

Due to the withdrawal of the Iron Warriors and Thousand Sons, the Horus faction had undoubtedly fallen into a disadvantage in this unprecedented space naval battle. Although the remaining thousands of battleships and cruisers were also a huge threat, this force had already been dispersed and was fighting with the Imperial warships.

"I'll leave this Mechanicus fleet to you to command. Let them act as bayonets to pierce the rear of the rebels!"

Ryan Jonson nodded without saying any polite words of thanks, because that would be meaningless.

"By the way, you should be careful with this Mechanicus fleet. The Mechanicus already has a huge grudge against the Empire, so don't just send them away."

Luo Xi thought about it and was still a little worried, so he immediately added.

The Lion King has always been absolutely rational and ruthless in war. As long as he can win, he will not blink an eye no matter how high the price is.

The image of the extinction-order demon had already been planted in Luo Xi's mind, and it was really hard for him to feel at ease.

"Don't worry, I will take good care of my allies." Ryan replied vaguely, and then continued to get busy.

Luo Xi could only assume that he really listened to it.

He turned and looked at the Prophet Uslan who was meditating with his eyes closed.

"Your courage and bravery are beyond my expectations. You dare to take the risk and get involved in this muddy water."

"But where are the reinforcements from the Arkworld you promised? Where are they?"

Hearing Luo Xi's question, Uslan opened his eyes and then looked at Luo Xi very seriously.

"We have reached an alliance, so I will naturally fulfill my promise. Besides, I don't think you will let me close the Blackstone Fortress alone, right?"

"As for the other Craft Worlds, they are only willing to take action when the Chaos Legion breaks through the solar system. I have already reached the limit of being able to convince them to do this."

Luo Xi burst into laughter immediately. Yes, Uslan was right.

Since even the Eldar can muster the courage to face Chaos rebellion and fight against the erosion of the Warp on the real universe, doesn't he have the courage to do so?

Human beings have never lacked courage.

"I will bring the Emperor's Fangs and an elite Iron Legion with you, plus the mixed team from Corswayn sent by Ryan. This force should be enough to deal with the rebels in Blackstone Fortress."

"It's a pity that Hill is commanding the battle in the fleet, and Sharokin is still dealing with the affairs of the Lunar Gene Sect with Belisarius Cawl. These old friends are not with me." Luo Xi also sighed. If it were in the past, Hill and Sharokin should have accompanied him into danger.

The two of them quickly discussed it, and then took the Emperor's Fangs and a 2,000-man Iron Legion boarded the Infinite Loyalty, an ancient battleship of the Dark Angels.

Endred Harr followed Roshi faithfully. It was the Sage of Roshi who helped his battle-brothers break free from the slavery of the Butcher's Nails. Endred Harr was also the executor of the Emperor's will. The Broken Hound naturally offered his loyalty.

The Black Shield Astartes under his command also followed their leader unconditionally. Roche also integrated the veterans of his own Broken Legion into the force, bringing the number of this Astartes force to three thousand.

And Corswayn also brought nearly 1,500 Dark Angel veterans. Many of these silent First Legion warriors can even be traced back to the war when the Emperor unified Terra.

There is no doubt that this is a very luxurious lineup, and this mixed force is also going to carry out an extremely dangerous mission.

"Lord Roshi, by the order of the Lion King, I will obey your command."

Koswain came in front of Roche. This beloved younger brother of Ryan Johnson took off his winged helmet, revealing a slightly handsome face.

Compared to the other rough and bold Calibans, Corswayn's appearance is somewhat similar to that of the Emperor's Children or the Blood Angels, handsome, resolute, and fearless.

"We will board the relic warship Infinite Loyalty to board the Blackstone Fortress. This warship is one of the few precious relics of the First Legion. It has concealment and maneuverability far superior to other warships."

The Dark Angels always have endless good stuff to dig up, and this battleship born in the dark technological age is even more so. Roche felt an extremely ancient will, and the machine soul of this battleship was also warmly welcoming his arrival.

Roche placed his palm on the deck of the Loyalty, and the battleship began to tremble. Costwain felt an extremely violent vibration under his feet. In the incredulous eyes of everyone, all the lights and display screens lit up.

A pleasant sound of gears turning came from the microphone. The explosion-proof doors opened automatically wherever Luo Xi went, and the flashing spots of light actively guided the road ahead.

The technical sergeants and crew of the Dark Angels were immediately in disbelief, because they detected that the ship's originally silent and cold machine soul had become extremely active after the arrival of Luo Xi and others.

The Thinker's computer was running at full capacity with unimaginable efficiency, and the energy pipelines and network lines that originally made slight noises were now running incredibly smoothly, as if they had been fully maintained.

The thinking space that had become a little dull due to the accumulation of too many caches over the long years became extremely neat again. The mottled traces of battle damage and aging parts on the thick outer armor of the battleship were as bright as new under the nourishment of the mysterious power.

All the servitors stopped and knelt on the ground to show their utmost respect.

And Luo Xi finally arrived at the control console of the battleship, and the metal under him automatically formed a customized steel throne for him.

Luo Xi smiled, revealing his upper teeth. His will had already entered the machine soul, completely controlling the battleship.

"Without further ado, we'll set off immediately."

The Astartes immediately took their positions, tied the safety buckles, and the Infinite Loyalty began to fly at a speed 200% higher than the normal speed.

The world unfolded before Luo Xi's eyes. He could even see the ripples caused by the change in the curvature of space. The cold steel under his feet and the sound of electric current in his ears seemed both real and unreal.

The Infinite Loyalty was like an arrow shot from a bow, heading straight for the Blackstone Fortress.

Chapter 501: Boarding the Blackstone Fortress

The Infinite Loyalty is an ancient warship born at the end of the Dark Age of Technology. Its concealment performance surpasses most of the space starships built by the Empire, which is why Ryan Johnson dared to use it for infiltration and boarding.

Relic-class battleships like this are extremely rare even in the powerful Dark Angels Legion. Every time one is lost, even the Lion King himself will feel the pain for a long time.

"Sir, have you unleashed the true potential of the Infinite Loyalty? I know that this ancient relic warship has capabilities beyond our imagination, but we have never been able to truly activate it."

"Even the best technical sergeant cannot truly establish a stable relationship and affection with its machine soul. It's as if it... looks down on us."

"What an incredible power. Lord Ryan once told me some things about you, but obviously that's not all."

Coswayn held the tactical helmet in his right arm, leaned forward slightly, and spoke in a low voice with a reverent attitude.

It must be said that the way Coswayen spoke was very pleasant to the ear, and even the most picky people would find it difficult to feel disgusted.

You can feel that his words come from the heart and he expresses his thoughts in a genuine way.

Akao also has a dignified and elegant appearance. Although he is not as handsome as the son of Sanguinius, he gives people an extremely reliable and stable feeling.

This Lion Steward is completely different from the vast majority of unruly Dark Angels. To be honest, Roxi has always felt uncomfortable getting along with these Space Marines of the First Legion.

They have a kind of arrogance and a touch of madness hidden in their bones. Although all of this is concealed by their strict military discipline, it can still be detected by feeling.

The Dark Angels even have a kind of contempt and arrogance towards other Space Marine Legions. They are the first Astartes Legion to be born, and also the oldest and most powerful.

The Luna Wolves? The Emperor's favorite giant babies; the Ultramarines? Big but not refined, too mediocre; the Emperor's Children? Coy and stupid.

Unlike the contrived arrogance of the Emperor's Children, the pride of the Dark Angels is hidden. They may hold contempt in their hearts and look down upon all legions equally, but they will never expose it openly.

They hid all their emotions and thoughts under their black, red and silver armor, hidden under the inner ring system that was nested layer by layer and could not be figured out by anyone except the Lion King.

Luo Xi believes that this kind of legion's background will sooner or later cause the First Legion to suffer greatly. Now the Lion King can still suppress the undercurrent within the legion, but what if Ryan Johnson is gone one day?

Then the powder keg inside the Dark Angels will be completely ignited, and this glorious and ancient legion will be blown to pieces.

"Of course. If we want to board the Black Stone Fortress perfectly, this warship needs even greater improvements. The difficulty of this task is beyond imagination."

Luo Xi smiled and said that Koswayn was different from all the dark angels. He hoped that the Lion King could influence his battle brothers.

"If you don't mind, I'll call you Akao." Luo Xi joked, "Lian always calls you this, which is very rare for the serious and rigid lion king."

Akao showed an embarrassed smile, "Of course, it's my pleasure."

"I need to make some more modifications to this battleship, which may involve some major changes."
