Warhammer: Expedition to the Multiverse from 30k

In the gloomy sky, the dark clouds grew thicker and thicker, almost turning the day into night. Only a few dragon-like lightning occasionally streaked across the sky, followed by a loud rumbling sound a few seconds later.

Suddenly, Weiland, who was sitting in the rear truck bed, turned his helmet, and his electronic eyes scanned a special object moving at an astonishing speed.

"A Land Speeder, an Ultramarines!"

On the flat road behind the vehicle, a special open-top vehicle was seen moving forward under the influence of the anti-gravity plate, and the roaring engine brought it to a speed far beyond what ordinary people could bear. It was equipped with a turret, and the weathered cobalt blue armor symbolized their identity.

Thermal imaging showed that there were two Ultramarines piloting Land Speeders. Their turrets installed on the outside were highlighted in Wieland's eyes. The moment they came into his sight, Iron Father was able to destroy them.

"Stop it!"

Seeing that he had just encountered two Extreme Marines, Roche immediately signaled the sergeant to slow down the car and flashed the lights to signal the approaching Land Speeder to stop.

The loud horn echoed on the road, attracting the attention of the Ultramarines.

"Slow down, Selaton." In the co-pilot seat of the Land Speeder, the captain of the 4th Company of the Ultramarines, Ventanus, signaled his companions to slow down through the communicator in the helmet.

The Land Speeder slowed down.

"Those two are... our battle brothers?" Selaton also noticed that several vehicles in front were slowing down and signaling. In the back bed of one of the vehicles, there were two Astartes who were also wearing Extreme Marine power armor sitting crouched down.

The Rand speedboats immediately slowed down, and they followed the convoy and stopped at the side of the road with it.

Ventanus jumped off the speeder that was floating on the surface. He took off his helmet and smiled brightly: "Brothers, where are you going?"

Luo Xi also opened the car door. Weiland and Tassa climbed over the guardrail of the truck bed. One side of the vehicle sank suddenly, pressing the vehicle so hard that it made a sound of steel being squeezed.

The two men also took off their helmets, and everyone immediately discovered that the particularly tall Astartes actually had charcoal-colored skin, and his eyes radiated a scarlet glow like underground fire.

This is……

Ventanus was speechless. Some of his battle brothers did have black skin, but this one...

Clearly not the Ultramarines.

"Hello brother, Salamander-Tassa."

"Iron Hands, Weyland."

The two of them did not continue to disguise themselves. It was really a bit far-fetched to think they could get away with it in front of an Ultramarines Captain. They were not like the Alpha Legion who were good at disguise.

Ventanus was just stunned for a moment, and then didn't say anything. He was keenly aware of the heavy aura of the two Astartes and realized that this might have other intentions.

"My Ultramarines brother, we have brought very important intelligence. You must immediately use all means to pass it to the top leaders of your legion."

"at all costs."

Salamander and Ironhand said in unison.

"The Word Bearers who are coming from space are traitors. They have betrayed the Emperor along with several other legions. The Ultramarines are in crisis."

After he finished speaking, Ventanus even suspected that the hidden injury of his Ear of Leman had not healed.

"The Word Bearers are traitors? How is that possible?"

On the side of the road, troop carriers, freight vehicles, artillery and tanks were rolling forward, roaring as they braved the heavy rain to complete the Legion's assembly order. The mortal auxiliary soldiers riding on the troop carriers coming and going saw the Extreme Marines standing on the side of the road and burst into cheers and laughter.

The endless convoy of self-propelled artillery stretched for dozens of kilometers, and the Shadow Blade tanks, Hellfire tanks and other vehicles produced by the Mechanicus were even more noisy.

However, such a lively environment could not make Ventanus' heart warm. It was like being poured with ice water from Fenris. Ventanus could not believe the truth of the news for a moment.

Legion, betrayal.

This was an extremely unfamiliar term to the Ultramarines, and it was even forbidden to mention it. He heard that a warrior named Hill was detained for investigation because he proposed a hypothetical tactic against the Astartes, and was even being held accountable by the Primarch himself.

There has never been a precedent for a civil war among the Astartes. We are all warriors of the Emperor, so why would we fight each other?

"I swear in the name of Ferrus and Vulkan, my brother, what we said is true. Isstvan V's betrayal has destroyed the three legions of Iron Hands, Salamanders and Raven Guard. We have come here with great difficulty just to tell you the news."

Swearing in the name of the Primarch is the most solemn oath for any Astartes.

Ventanus's caution made him decide to temporarily trust the news of the two battle brothers. He must inform the Primarch and the Legion's top brass as soon as possible.

"We just wasted forty minutes heading to the airport, but the stewards I wanted to see were not there. The closest place to us with advanced communication capabilities should be the Global Museum."

Ventanus didn't waste any time. He quickly returned to the speeder and signaled Selaton to go at full speed.

"Those veterans know the location of the Global Museum. Let's go first, brother."

The Ultramarines disappeared in front of Roche and the others in the blink of an eye, but Roche felt relieved. They passed the information to the Ultramarines, and the betrayal of the Word Bearers should be stopped.

The group continued on their journey, and soon everyone was shocked by some huge creatures on the field beside the road.

A huge column of Titan machines lined up in a row, marching slowly with heavy steps, surrounded by the Crusader speeders and other ground vehicles.

Swarms of Titans can even block out natural light, and the remaining light is intercepted by these divine machines, forming large areas of deep shadows.

Some strange lights shone on the cockpit on the top floor of the Titan, exuding a deep murderous intent. A total of forty-seven Titans marched towards the assembly point at an earthquake-like pace.

There was shock in Luo Xi's eyes, but more of it was familiarity. At that time, Titans were weapons of war, although compared to other dangerous weapons, Titans seemed very "gentle".

But in today's era, these giant machines undoubtedly have terrible deterrent power and combat effectiveness.

They are superior to almost any ground unit, whether it is a super-heavy tank or a superhuman soldier like the Astartes, they are as fragile as a piece of paper in the face of Titan-level firepower.

Chapter 10 Early Warning

The World Museum is a landmark building built by the people of Khaos. To be more precise, it is a large pyramid with three corners built on three small pyramids. It is built of square stones and plaster and is the crystallization of the wisdom and craftsmanship of Khaos engineers.

Ten kilometers away, the Global Museum came into sight. It was a large and magnificent building complex. Luo Xi and others quickly arrived near this amazing building.

When they arrived, the Extreme Marines who had left earlier had already disappeared.

On the avenue in front of the World Museum, numerous flags were hung in the air and danced in the wind. The patterns on them described the Empire, Ultramar or the Ultramarines. Under the flags were lush and beautiful gardens. The rainbow formed by the spraying water mist made this area as beautiful as a fairyland.

As soon as he entered the inner court, he was immediately greeted by mortal servants dressed in the uniforms of the Universal Museum, delivering a message from Ventanus.

"Everyone, Lord Ventanus has asked you to head to the inner hall of the Universal Museum immediately after you arrive. Please follow me."

At this moment in the Universal Museum, Ventanus had already ordered all servants and staff to take emergency action. He issued an order for a wartime state and ordered the airport managers who were in a meeting to mobilize immediately and report to him the latest developments of the Word Bearers.

"Abt, Dario, and Chancellor Etwin, return to your posts immediately, and notify the Ultramarines in other areas to assemble immediately."

"Send a first-level alert signal to the orbital platform and the surface outpost, and have them warm up their weapon systems."

"Send a warning signal to the Ultramarines in the low-orbit starport, and have them start their engines and remain on alert."

A series of orders were issued in an orderly manner, and even Ventanus gave up the polite and peaceful attitude that the Ultramarines had always maintained towards mortals. Everything was done to make the entire system operate at the fastest speed.

"Sir, the group of people you ordered are here, along with two Extreme Warriors." The mortal servant came forward and reported in a low voice.

Ventanus walked towards Wieland, Tassa and others who were walking towards him, shook hands with them cordially to express his gratitude. To Roche's surprise, the captain of the Ultramarines also thanked him in the crowd.

"Dear friend, the news you brought is too valuable. Currently, 200,000 Ultramarines of the XIII Legion are gathering. Most of the warships, including the Macragge's Glory, are anchored in the orbital starport. I can't even imagine what disastrous consequences would be if the Word Bearers attacked us when we were unprepared."

Ventanus said this to Roche. Guilliman's offspring also had strong attainments in politics. He had already deduced the status of Roche, an ordinary mortal, in the hearts of the two brothers.

Obviously, he was the one who made the decision.

"No need to thank me, I also have my mission." Luo Xi did not have too much pride. After thousands of years of polishing, he had already reached the state of being unmoved by praise or criticism.

No matter what, he is on the side of humanity. Whether the enemy is aliens or some humans who choose to surrender to the warp, they are all enemies.

In front of an exhibition stand, a kneeling statue-like figure began to move. The servo system in his power armor hummed softly, supporting this body, which was more powerful than Ventanus, to stand up.

The finely crafted power armor, embellished with gilded wings and eagles, stood like a mountain.

"My Lord Yingjie." Ventanus saluted.

"I have heard your orders and I have done a good job." The Macragge hero named Lamiad praised with a smile. Compared with the serious-looking Ventanus, he seemed more calm and had an unshakable temperament.

The Four Paragons are a special management hierarchy of the Ultramarines Legion. They represent the four worlds of Salamanth, Konor, Okhroda and Axe under Macragge. They are higher in power and status than the Chapter Master and the Planetary Governor, and second only to the Primarch.

Luo Xi noticed that the right half of this hero's face was stunningly handsome, while the left half was covered by a ceramic mask. The mechanical eyes even had lively pupils, staring at everyone.

"The Legion was on the brink of crisis, but fortunately, we had advance warning."

Lamiad boosted morale. He could see the uneasiness and tension in the hearts of Ventanus and others.

"If the Word Bearers truly choose to betray shamefully, then we will let the Perfect City burn a second time!"

……

Orbital sentry tower.

Servomaster Hurst, wearing a scarlet Mechanicus robe, was busy in Calth's mind space. There were more than 10,000 people working in this sentry tower, and a complex flow of people walked back and forth in the sentry tower command station, handling the exaggerated number of starships moving in space.

The tracks at Cowes have never been busier.

Whether it is a busy starport in space or a constant stream of transport convoys on the ground, they all need sentry towers to provide data support. Due to the human empire's red line attitude towards hatred of intelligence, these technicians from the Mechanicus rely on the Thinker system to process the data.

There were sixty highly skilled technicians around Hearst to help process the data. In the position closest to him, a highly modified, tall woman noticed Hearst's sudden surge in adrenaline.

"What's wrong with you?" Senior Technician Tao Lun sent a string of binary code to Hurst. This is the way the Mechanicus communicates within the church. For them, the code is more accurate and efficient than the vague High Gothic language.

Under normal circumstances, Hearst would have responded more to this high-level technician whom he had a crush on, but at this moment, the order from Numinas caused his thinking module to operate at a high frequency.

"Are they those waste codes? They have been bothering us for a long time, and we don't have an effective way to deal with them." Tao Lun's fingers danced on the invisible keys. Not long ago, some inexplicably appearing waste codes were found by technicians in Cos's thinking space.

An extremely subtle trace of pathological information lurks in the thinking space. They are not viruses or anything else, but they are definitely not good things. The filtering system cannot remove them and they stubbornly take root in the information flow.

"Neither. This is a combat readiness order from the Global Museum. Captain Ventanus reported that among the two legions currently gathering over Calth, the upcoming Word Bearers legion is suspected to have a high-risk warning. Lord Yingjie and Captain Ventanus ordered the fleet to stop gathering."

The servo engineer's job is to ensure that the complex orbital movements in space can be coordinated with each other, and sudden mission changes are enough to make them busy.

"No matter what, immediately connect to the Glory of Macragge and report the information." Hurst ordered, "As for our other warships, they are all docked in the port at this moment, all their engines are shut down, and they are undergoing repairs and maintenance."

However, just as the servitors were about to pass the information through the mind space, eight names that entered the network through the sacrificial ceremony, the Eightfold Path brought in by the Chaos believers, finally revealed their true colors.

Those were waste codes that the technicians thought were harmless but could not be removed, but at this moment, they were like activated diseases, showing corrosive, spreading, and indelible characteristics.

The power of the Warp spreads across the four dimensions of Calth.

Chapter 11 Targeting the Flagship

Chaos and garbage codes are spreading in Cos's mind space.

It is no longer a tolerable obstacle. These highly polluting data are constantly eroding and swallowing up other normal information flows, which is undoubtedly cutting off the sentinel's control over orbital space.

This feeling of loss of control was unfamiliar to Hurst and many high-level technicians.
