Warhammer: Expedition to the Multiverse from 30k

He continued walking a few steps, his power armor making heavy footsteps on the ground.

Nikonna raised his head, his black eyes staring at Tiefu's steps. He felt something was wrong, Tiefu's steps were... too heavy.

Although an Astartes wears heavy ceramite power armor, they can approach the enemy silently and carry out assassination operations as long as the situation requires.

Weiland kept getting closer and stretched out his steel prosthetic limb towards Luo Xi.

Luo Xi looked at the strength of the Father of Iron with suspicion. He immediately took a few steps back. Nikonna on the side had already taken shadow steps and drew out the power sword behind him in an instant.

The decomposition force field was activated as the sword was swung, and the crackling power sword blocked the Iron Hand's path.

"Nikona! What are you doing? I saved you on Istvaan V, and this is how you repay me!" When Tiefu saw Nikona blocking his way, he immediately shouted at him.

"You're not Welander!"

The Raven Son's response was only a ruthless slash. The power sword wrapped in an energy field did not hesitate at all and easily cut off Weland's arm.

The metal broke, and some built-in cables leaked electric light and oil. Weiland's face was full of disbelief. He stared at Nikona as if he saw a long-hidden traitor.

Nikonna's sword made a loop in the air and stabbed from another extremely tricky angle, this time aiming directly at Tiefu's head.

"Don't do it! Nikona!" Even Luo Xi felt that Sharokin was a little too excited, so he continued to stop him.

When the decomposition force field of the power sword pierced into Iron Father's electronic eye, a blue-purple light suddenly exploded, and Weland's appearance quickly distorted and changed, turning into a four-limbed monster wearing a dark blue robe, with his face hidden in the robe and completely invisible.

The monster held the Trickster's Staff in one hand and summoned pale magic flames with the other. The leaping magic flames attached to the staff and blocked Nikona's power sword.

"What the hell is this!"

Roxi was speechless as he watched a tall Astartes warrior transform into a cunning creature that moved at an extremely fast speed.

The arc launcher controlled by the intelligent computer quickly melted under the scorching flames of the opponent, but several arcs still pierced through its robe. All organic matter should have been reduced to ashes under these arcs, but this monster did not slow down at all.

Nikonna and Tassa stood in front of Roxi, one in front and one behind. The two power swords of the Son of the Dark Raven danced and flashed, interweaving into sword shadows like a rain curtain, decomposing the force field and tearing apart the robe of the evil creature in front of them, cutting off one of its arms in a flash.

"It's those damn Word Bearers! Those evil things from the Warp!"

Nikonna Sharokin immediately connected what he saw with the guys summoned by the Word Bearers warriors on the battlefield of Isstvan.

Those Word Bearers warriors who were possessed by the demons of the Warp were strengthened physically and mentally by the evil creatures of the Warp. They were called Possessed Warriors by the traitors.

The enchanted warriors can almost crush their former comrades with overwhelming force. They are far superior to their former cousins ​​in terms of speed, strength and defense.

However, most of the enchanted warriors have been killed by the lightning claws of Corax, the Lord of the Ravens and the Primarch of the 19th Legion.

The fire lizard warrior Thassa raised his power hammer high and smashed at the demon with unparalleled momentum. The vigorous attack combined with the Raven Son's swordsmanship suppressed the enemy's actions.

The Salamander warriors in power armor stood in front of Roxi like a mountain, and Nocturne's rage was boiling here.

One is still, the other is moving; one is fast, the other is slow; the power sword and the power hammer work together perfectly, and the excellent tacit understanding honed by the two on the battlefield of Istvaan is presented at this moment.

The besieged evil creature in the Warp made sounds that made mortals restless. It found itself entangled with two annoying Astartes. This would not do. It came here with a mission.

It screamed and released its own warp fire. Those flames were completely different from the flames in the real universe and were extremely dangerous attacks that could burn directly on the human soul.

The terrible brute force stirred the air, and the glittering decomposition field on the power hammer was contaminated by a magical flame released by the opponent. Suddenly, the mechanical wailing sounded, and the machine soul of this finely crafted weapon fell into extreme pain.

The fire lizard felt the pain of the machine soul, and its scarlet eyes bit the enemy tightly, forcing it into a dead end regardless of the consequences.

There was no unnecessary emotional fluctuation in Nikona's heart. He just swung the sword, swung the sword, and swung the sword non-stop. More and more sword shadows tore through the enemy's body. Under the full-force attack of the swordsman master, this subspace creature called the Changeling was finally completely chopped into pieces.

He is watching you

There were strange screams and laughter, and suddenly Luo Xi heard a crazy laugh and muttering, and then the opponent's body suddenly burned up and turned into a pile of ashes without residual heat at an unstoppable speed.

"We didn't kill it, it got away."

Nicona's voice rang out.

"Luckily we are with you."

The Salamander warrior put down his hammer. Although he was an alchemist, he was also a seasoned Astartes warrior.

"Did you hear anything?"

Luo Xi turned around with some confusion, but Nikona and others shook their heads to deny it.

"Those are demons from the Warp. We have seen how powerful they are on Isstvan V."

"Thank you, if it weren't for you I would be in trouble." Luo Xi was still frightened.

"I have heard that some travelers who have experienced the warp voyage claimed that there were demons watching them outside the Geller's position. Some people who were too curious would disappear in the enclosed space after responding to the demon's whispers."

Although he didn't know what would happen when the demon touched him, when facing the unknown existence that exuded some kind of evil power, his heart felt intense palpitations and extreme fear.

Although Luo Xi is an immortal, he has not witnessed many supernatural events. He knows that there seem to be other immortals besides him, but he has never seen them.

He is not unique, but according to rumors, most of the other immortals are psychics, who can control psychic powers that are almost magical, while he is a completely ordinary person.

Apart from living long enough and seeing enough, Luo Xi asked himself that he had nothing in common with his fellow immortals.

The riot on the starship soon subsided.

But when the true Father of Steel realized that some strange demon was impersonating him, the angry warrior immediately ordered his warriors to remain vigilant at all times.

This is blasphemy against the Son of Ferrus!

Roche learned his lesson and realized that it made sense for the Emperor to create Astartes warriors. The damage caused to Warp demons by melee weapons such as power swords was more significant than the arc weapons controlled by intelligent computers.

He guessed that this might be because the concept of demons has always been associated with fire and swords in human civilization, so these weapons with mystical powers have greater power.

After a thrilling incident, the Red Alert finally sailed safely to its next destination.

Another four standard Terran days passed, and this warp voyage finally came to an end.

"Attention all ships, we are about to jump out of the subspace, be prepared for buffering!"

Accompanied by a strong flash of illusion, the rules of the two worlds intertwined again.

Luo Xi felt the familiar feeling of being pulled away. When he opened his eyes again, what appeared before his eyes was no longer the disordered and chaotic ocean of the subspace, but a star system with celestial bodies.

Only those who have experienced subspace travel understand how stable and orderly the material universe is, where every atom must obey the constraints of physical laws and operate in its respective orbit.

A huge star continuously releases light and heat. This sun, which is in its prime, is very stable, and it is it that has given birth to this prosperous scene.

After leaving Mandeville Point, Red Alert headed towards a planet that reflected the light of the stars. It was a vibrant light blue with many tiny reflections flashing faintly.

This is the result of the star's light continuing to reflect after falling on the transport ship.

With the naked eye, you can see a magnificent and stunning planetary orbit on the outskirts of this planet, shining brightly in the sunlight like a ribbon wrapped together.

There are dozens or even hundreds of giant ships docked in a large number of airports, which transport supplies from the surface of the planet to the spaceport like leaf-cutter ants, and then transport them to those giant ships.

"After 10,000 years, I finally found a familiar feeling again. In my time, there were planets like this almost everywhere, space elevators, planetary orbits, and very convenient planetary transportation."

Luo Xi felt a little emotional, but it was obvious that they came to the wrong place. This was not their destination, Terra.

The star map of the intelligent brain showed that the location here was still in the eastern part of the Milky Way. By analyzing the dense radio communication signals in space, he finally knew the name of the thriving planet in front of him: Kos

Nikona looked through the porthole of the starship and quickly compared the memory in his mind. The Space Marine's super memory quickly allowed him to read out the name of the largest battleship in the spaceport.

"That is the Glory of Macragge, a Queen of Glory-class battleship of the XIII Legion Ultramarines. Emperor, we have arrived at the Five Hundred Worlds."

The hull of the Macragge's Glory is 26 kilometers long. Its surface is covered with ceramic and steel armor. A large number of side guns and lance launchers are scattered among the many Gothic buildings, shining like the teeth of a beast.

Surrounding it were eighteen silver-gleaming town-sized battleships, as well as many more transports, cruisers, and Adeptus Mechanicus starships.

Chapter 7: Loyalty and Treachery

"The flagship of the XIII Legion is here, so their Primarch must be here as well. My Lord, we must tell the Primarch the news of Horus's rebellion. The loyal forces must be assembled."

Tassa said in a deep voice that after the battles of Isstvan III and Isstvan V, those who had clearly betrayed included the Sons of Horus, the Emperor's Children, the Iron Warriors, the Night Lords, the World Eaters, the Death Guard, the Word Bearers and the Alpha Legion.

The Iron Hands, Salamanders and Raven Guard, who were loyal to the Emperor, had been severely damaged by the backstabbing of the traitors, especially the Iron Hands Primarch Ferrus, who was seen being beheaded.

The empire is on the brink of collapse. Although they do not know why the Emperor's wolf-god betrayed them, with a powerful enemy at hand, the remaining loyal forces will be defeated one by one if they do not gather together.

Roche also realized that the fate of the human empire was in jeopardy.

Although he disliked this ignorant and backward empire, there was no doubt that it was the empire that sustained the existence of mankind. Humanity had reached the point of drinking poison to quench thirst, and only this strong cohesion could allow the race to survive.

Just when he was about to order the intelligent computer to land on the planet Calth, Iron Father Weiland raised an objection.

"No! We can't land now. We have already experienced the betrayal of our brothers. How can you guarantee that the Ultramarines will not betray us?"

Before the massacre at the landing site, the loyalists who came to wipe out the traitors would never know that the original plan of seven loyalist legions besieging four traitor legions would turn into eight traitor legions besieging three loyal legions in the backstab.

Even the Emperor's Children, a legion that can use the Emperor's name as its legion name and have the Imperial Sky Eagle branded on its armor, can betray. Who can guarantee that these Ultramarines, who are isolated in the eastern part of the galaxy and almost divided by five hundred worlds, will not betray?

You have to know that among the primarchs of the Empire, most of them would only recruit soldiers on their own home planets, and apart from caring about the battle situation of the Great Crusade, they would hardly care about other things.

But the XIII Legion is an exception. They recruit soldiers from all suitable planets in the Five Hundred Worlds, so the Ultramarines have the largest scale among all the Astartes Legions.

According to publicly available intelligence, the Ultramarines have 25 chapters, or 25 fully armed Astartes.

The Raven Guard and Salamanders behind Nikonna and Tassa each had a legion of no more than 100,000 men.

"My lord, I suggest that the information about Istvaan V should not be told to the Ultramarines before the situation is clarified." Viland said loudly. Since the death of his genetic father, the Iron Hands' trust in their former fighting brothers has disappeared.

Once doubt and suspicion are planted, they will grow into towering trees.

"Guilliman, the Primarch of the Ultramarines, has always been an ambitious guy! He once tried to win over our father, but was unfortunately seen through by the wise Ferrus." Iron Hand said.

"We need intelligence," Luo Xi also thought.

"The intelligent computer has the ability to invade the Thinker system of the Glorious Queen-class battleship, or read the control system of the planet's defense orbit, but that would also expose our existence."

The voice of the intelligent computer sounded in Luo Xi's mind. With its high intelligence, it could clearly perceive the existence of something that could be called a fellow creature on the huge battleship.

That is the intelligent brain of Macragge's Glory, or what is called the machine soul.

"Until the last moment, we cannot use the brain's invasion capabilities. In fact, in addition to using the Ultramarines' warships, there are still other ways to identify their loyalty."

If the Extreme Marines also betrayed, then their industrial planets would inevitably continue to produce the war materials needed for the betrayal. The sudden surge in industrial data could convey a lot of valuable information.

The surface of Red Alert was quickly covered with an invisible distorted force field, disappearing from its original position without a trace.

The stealth technology from the Golden Age perfectly erased the trace of the starship, and on the display screen of the command center in Kos, a small dot that had suddenly appeared in this area suddenly disappeared again.

At this moment, on the command tower of Calth, the servitors and technicians of the Mechanicus were processing the navigation data of thousands of transport ships and interstellar battleships in orbit, which prevented them from noticing a strange point that suddenly appeared and disappeared.

At this moment, Cowes seemed to be carrying out some important activities, and the traffic density in the eyes of Luo Xi and others was terrifying.

"Let me go to the Ultramarines' warship. Infiltration operations are more appropriate in this situation. With multiple complementary forces, the information we can obtain will be more comprehensive."
