Warhammer 40: My Fiancée Fulgrim

For him, whether or not he could wipe out all the tactical squads that had boarded the ship was not important.

Now all we need to do is wait and maneuver the warship through the portal; once we reach our home planet, we will receive support and assistance.

"Why! Why hasn't the boarding tactical team sent any message yet!"

"Reporting, Commander! The signal is still active!"

"The Casca appear to be engaged in a fierce battle to gain control of the warship!"

The fleet commander was extremely anxious.

The alien warship was very close to the portal.

At this rate, the other party will pass through the portal in less than five minutes.

What's the point of capturing the warship if it returns to the aliens' base?

"Return to port! Immediately notify them to return to port by landing craft!"

boom!

The smoke from the molten metal bomb dissipated.

The crystal structure remained curled into a round shape, unwilling to move.

Even with hot melt explosives, it only managed to blast a hole in the crystal and leave some fragments.

The Crystal Alien's tech tree didn't include Void Shield; however, their material strength technology advanced to an incredibly high level.

"If there's really no other way, let's retreat. We don't have much time left."

Aqua calmly gave instructions from behind.

"The other side is getting closer and closer to the portal. If we don't board the ship and leave quickly, we will also be pulled into the portal."

"Perhaps there were some minor flaws in this operation, and the boarding maneuver did not achieve the expected results."

“But Casca, you’ve done very well.”

she comforted.

As a legionary acting governor, being able to defeat tens of thousands of well-equipped aliens and destroy their fleet with only a few thousand mortal auxiliary troops is a textbook example of battle command.

Even if their attempt to defect ultimately fails, no one will dare to criticize them.

Although she didn't understand why Casca was so obsessed with this alien warship.

But clearly, seizing the ship is no longer possible, and there is no point in forcing it.

It's time to go back, Casca.

Chapter 44: A beautiful day ends after the boarding maneuver.

"Tsk, cowardly alien with no guts."

Upon hearing Aqua's command, Lucius sheathed his dueling sword and slowly retreated, facing the closed circular crystal.

Taviz, who was providing cover, also approached the destroyed crystal gate, while only Casgar remained standing in place, as if he was thinking about something.

"It's time to go, Casgar!"

"If we don't leave now, we really won't be able to leave!"

Aqua shouted again, her tone unusually anxious.

To be honest, Casca was a little unwilling.

But he couldn't explain why.

All he knew was that, if things proceeded according to the established timeline, a year after this resounding victory, the Terra War Council would send an expeditionary fleet composed of Ultramarines through the portal to investigate, and on the other side of the portal, in the northern part of the galaxy, they would discover the alien homeworld.

In the far north, far from the Dalit star system, the Ultramarines brought the Emperor's wrath upon the Xenomorphs.

They brilliantly accomplished their mission of eradicating the Crystal Aliens.

However, not long after that, the Dalit portal gradually ceased to function, and the secrets hidden within it were perhaps buried in the dust of the starry sea.

These crystal oddities may very well contain the key to unlocking the secrets of the portal!

Casca must find a way to keep the prisoners.

Therefore, even with victory in hand, Casgar insisted on boarding one of the remote alien warships.

But it seems his first attempt to board the ship wasn't very successful.

Even their Imperial Sword Saint Aqua was helpless against the Alien Crystal's shell-shrinking tactics.

Kaska was unwilling, but there was nothing he could do.

Beneath the transparent outer wall, the Dalit portal, shimmering with a faint light, grew larger and closer.

The rest of the tactical squad had retreated to the gate, ready to leave with him at any moment.

Are we really just going to give up like this?

For some reason, Casca lowered his head and looked at his palm, which was covered with flowing golden-red cracks.

"Wait! Let me try again!"

An inexplicable premonition drove him to run wildly toward the sphere at the very center.

For some reason, a crazy idea suddenly popped into his head.

"Damn it, you guys get out of here!"

Seeing this, Aqua gestured for the two people beside her to leave, and instantly charged towards Casca at an extremely fast speed.

Soon!

Soon!

As Casca charged toward the sphere, it stretched out its right hand, riddled with cracks beneath its tattered armor.

Snapped!

Then he pressed down on the sphere.

Nothing happened.

The sphere remained rolled up, unchanged despite Casca's slap.

His risky move does not seem to have yielded the expected reward.

Aqua's furious roar came from behind.

"Casgar! What exactly do you want?!"

"It's too late now—"

Buzz—?

Just then, the circular crystal object emitted a buzzing sound that was completely different from before.

As the crystal shifted, its core was revealed directly to Casgar.

It was as if she was staring at him in disbelief.

"Don't attack yet!"

Kasgar waved his hand behind him, while extending his cracked right hand in front of the other's core, allowing him to examine it closely.

Although he couldn't explain why, Casca's subconscious led him to do this.

And it was at this moment that he sensed the other person's thoughts.

It was a feeling that was filled with confusion, joy, and excitement, with a touch of disbelief, that reached Casca's heart.

It's like a long-lost pet recognizing its owner again.

Moreover, Casgar even felt that he could command and control the other party.

The core of the crystal alien was exposed directly, the crystal opening and rotating around, as if performing a dance unique to aliens.

"Can you control him?"

Aqua breathed a sigh of relief, her tense expression instantly easing.

"Hurry and tell him to stop! We're about to go through the portal!"

With the portal right in front of her, Aqua was still a little anxious.

"no!"

"I can't control it! It's still moving forward!"

"Is it?"

Aqua's expression, which had just improved, darkened, and her other hand reached for the military knife hidden under the yellow silk.

"Haha, just kidding."

Casca gave a shameless chuckle.

The next second, the warship stopped in front of the portal.

Aqua: "."

It has to be said that Casca always manages to surprise people.

Whether it's his swordsmanship talent and command ability, or even when the final boarding operation was about to fail, he was able to successfully resolve the crisis in ways that are difficult for ordinary people to understand.

But sometimes, I really want to beat him up.

"You, go back and practice more."

After taking several deep breaths, Aqua decided to postpone the attack.

"They're down yet?! That Casca!"

"No! All the squads that entered the warship have withdrawn, leaving only them!"

"Damn it!"

"Reporting, Commander, the alien warship has stopped advancing and is descending towards the surface of Silent Star!"

"Commander Casca has succeeded! They have captured the alien warship!"

call--

Upon hearing the unmistakable victory, amidst the applause that erupted around him, the fleet commander collapsed, exhausted, onto the command chair in the center of the bridge.

The crew members on the cruiser's bridge continued their work tirelessly: even after a great victory, taking inventory of the battlefield was still an extremely tedious task.

But none of that matters anymore.

At least, counting the data won't make his heart beat so fast.

Although it is unclear why Casca insisted on capturing an alien artifact that should have been destroyed outright.

He shook his head, and after regaining his senses for a few minutes, he stood up again.

It's not over yet.

"I hereby declare the Void War against the Crystal Aliens over, which has ended in a resounding victory for our forces."

Amidst the applause, the fleet commander continued.

A resounding victory.

But it was the most intense victory of his military career.

"Our army destroyed eight enemy small warships and captured one small warship at almost zero loss."

"Take stock of the casualties and losses, and have the Star Speaker deliver the battle report to Lord Horus."

Dalit Galaxy.

Vengeance Soul, Staff Room.

Primarch Horus stood before the massive floor-to-ceiling window of the Soul of Vengeance, gazing at the ruins in the distant sea of ​​stars.

He had just returned victorious from a brutal battle to purge the aliens, and his armor still bore traces of blood and grime.

As the invincible Wolf God, these were naturally left behind by the enemy.

Aside from a small number of aliens who were willing to submit, a large number of humanity's enemies were annihilated in this battle by the overwhelming power of Horus, Shadowmoon Wolves, and the Sixty-Three Expeditionary Fleet.
