Infinite Metaverse

No. Suzheng, interrogation room.

"Snapped!"

The crack of a whip.

"ah!"

Heart-rending screams.

When you walk into this bottom prison, you will find that it is unexpectedly clean. There are no traces of blood, sweat and other bodily fluids and secretions that are usually common here. The entire cell is clean... but there is no sound at all. reduce.

"Crack! Crack! Crack!"

Kalamanda was still lashing hard.

The night bat warrior holds a metal rod in his hand, and a long translucent energy whip extends from the end of the rod. This whip can go straight through walls, tables, chairs, and shackles, as if it is just an illusion, but it is touching the body... Strictly speaking, the moment it touches the human soul, it explodes with a bang.

Sage Nemonix sat upright in his chair.

Kalamanda stood behind him.

"I've said it all!"

howled Nemonix Sage.

"Not enough... snap!"

Kalamanda's backhand is a whip.

"Ah, but I've already finished talking!"

The tech-priest let out a wail of agony.

"I said, not enough, not enough! Bang bang!"

The Night Bat warrior whipped his whip twice more.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, 11001...”

A burst of garbled words broke out from the sage's mouth.

"No binary lingo!"

Kalamanda shouted:

"Speak Gothic! Bastard!"

After the roar, there were two whips of "snap".

"Uh... Kalamanda."

Fu Qinghai, who was watching from the side, couldn't help it.

He opened his mouth and reminded:

"It was his vocal device that burned out."

"Oh I got it."

Kalamanda scratched her head.

What kind of pain and suffering can produce nerve signal currents that can burn out the sound-producing device on the throat?

Fu Qinghai feels almost done.

So he stopped Kalamanda:

"Okay, it's almost done. I feel like he has been drained. Let's sort out all the information. Kalamanda, there is a prisoner waiting for you next door."

Fu Qinghai raised his finger and pointed to the next door:

"Wilt XI, the patriarch of the Wickstrike family. It would be best to pry open his mouth and get some information, even if that thing doesn't know anything..."

Fu Qinghai paused and said coldly:

"I also want him to die in the most painful torture."

"I see."

Kalamanda licked her lips and said with a grin:

"Everything will be as you wish, Khan."

Not only Fu Qinghai, but also Sid Nora could see that this Space Marine of the Night Lords simply enjoyed the pleasure of torturing people. Lin Yu, Qiao Shida, Camille and others are already familiar with this conclusion.

The back faith matrix is ​​very easy to use.

This heretical technological creation has a special feature, which is especially useful for people with devout beliefs. Nemonix the Sage is a believer in Nurgle, and the Wickstrike family believes in Chaos. Their dark beliefs have brought them extreme pain and torture. The pain caused by directly torturing the soul is far beyond the bioelectric stimulation in the physical nerves. In addition, Kalamanda's awakened psychic talent amplifies the fear in others' hearts. The two are combined into one, and the effect is even more outstanding.

Kalamanda is a qualified executioner.

Although torturing his enemies made him happy, he did not get too obsessed with it and forget about his responsibilities. Soon, a compiled confession was placed on Fu Qinghai's desk.

In the captain's room of the Suzheng.

The Chapter Leader and the Inquisitor read the confession together, and their expressions suddenly became complicated and heavy.

"The ruling sage spent a lot of effort to find the mole for a long time, and almost turned the entire Titan Order upside down... But he didn't expect that the mole turned out to be himself, tsk tsk."

Fu Qinghai shook his head and sighed.

Sid Nora looked very ugly.

The biggest leak in the Steel Ring War Zone, the deployment of all Loyal Titan Legions was leaked, and the source of the leak turned out to be the Ruler Sage himself!

The Grand Inquisitor really didn't expect it either.

The majestic ruling sage, the commander-in-chief appointed by the Mars Forge Council to command all Mechanicum troops in the entire Iron Belt, is actually inferior to a local sect leader in the Iron Belt in terms of hacking skills? Not only was the hacking technology exposed, but it was also a complete failure. According to Nemonix's confession, the Dominion Sage still doesn't know what the problem is. His memory storage has been deliberately erased and recoded, and he doesn't even remember that he has met the leader of a data monitoring sect.

It’s so exciting, it’s so exciting.

Of course, on the other hand, Nemonix Sage can fool Hieronymus Gant, the ruling sage from Mars, which shows that his hacker skills are indeed superb, even though he is a dark man who believes in evil gods. A technical heretic, but he can be regarded as the most powerful logician Fu Qinghai has ever seen.

Sid Nora was in a tangle.

The Grand Inquisitor frowned, crossed his arms, and paced back and forth in Fu Qinghai's captain's room with his head lowered.

Fu Qinghai understood it very well and could even guess what she was struggling with - how to deal with the ruling sage.

First of all, no matter what the original starting point was, no matter whether the ruling sage was subjectively aware of it or not, the fact is that the deployment situation of the Iron Ring Titan Legion was leaked from him. As a result, many imperial worlds fell, many imperial soldiers and civilians died, and the unified The wise man has an unshirkable responsibility.

Moreover, even if we talk about motives, the ruling sage's motives are not simple - he colluded with the local data supervision sect in order to punish a loyal knight family for changing their families. These were originally shady and private activities. We can't say it openly and openly.

But on the other hand, the Ruler Sage is still one of the top commanders in the Iron Belt war zone. The war situation in the Iron Belt is very tight now. What will be the consequences of touching him at this time? What will be the reaction from the Titan Order? How did other forge worlds react? Sid Nora is a radical judge but not a brainless judge. She can naturally distinguish the interests and risks, and she must also weigh the pros and cons from the perspective of the overall situation.

Finally, there is one thing to consider. Sage Gant has a very high status. He belongs to the huge force of the Mechanicus. Although after the rebellion ended, the Martian Mechanicus reformed into the Adeptus Mechanicus, its status was not as independent as in the past, and the suppression and influence from Terra increased greatly. But can the Inquisition go beyond the Forgemaster to deal with the Sage of Gant? The answer is a resounding no. Therefore, how to deal with the ruling sage, the opinion of the casting commander far away on Mars is the most important.

Right or wrong, factions, interests, overall situation...

It’s really a headache to think about it!

But Fu Qinghai didn't care about this.

Sitting on the chair with his legs crossed, he looked as if it had nothing to do with him. It is enough for me, as the leader of the Astartes Chapter, to manage my own Chapter, execute combat orders, and bring about victory one after another. As for how to deal with the ruling sage? None of my business.

Sid Nora had a headache thinking about it and wanted to find someone for advice. When he turned around and saw Fu Qinghai's appearance, he immediately gritted his teeth. Is this the attitude you have?

Without waiting for Sid Nora to speak.

Fu Qinghai stood up and took the initiative:

"Okay, think about these issues slowly for yourself. I'm going to arrange a new battle plan. The battle in the Ni-Delina sub-sector is not over yet."

Leaving the Grand Inquisitor sitting alone on the sofa, Fu Qinghai went out alone and walked to the combat conference room.

…

Su Zhenghao, conference room.

"This is the defense layout of the hive world."

"This is the rebel fleet deployment situation."

Fu Qinghai pointed at the holographic projection and said.

Sage Nemonix revealed the causes and consequences of the leak, and Wilt XI revealed the size and deployment of the rebel forces surrounding the hive world.

"Naval force, six strike cruisers, four transport cruisers, all conventional class cruisers."

"The ground forces, the Kurisatai Titan Legion's structure is relatively intact, with three Warmaster-level Titans and seven Warlord-level Titans. The Untamed Lord's Titan Legion suffered serious losses, with only one Warlord-level Titan left, eleven Taiwan War Dog-class reconnaissance Titan. The above are their main ground forces."

Fu Qinghai counted the enemy's military strength.

The Warlord-class Titan, as the smallest among the large Titans, serves as the main Titan in most Titan legions, and is also the most common Titan model in the Mechanicum.

The Kurisatai Titan Legion was formed by splitting some of the Titans from the Death Skull Legion to assist the local foundry world. The pilots and crew were all members of the Death Skull Legion. The Titan technology used was also related to the Death Skull Legion and was very powerful.

Just look at this strength comparison.

The Iron Buddha Chapter is inferior to the rebels.

However, it must be considered that the hive world still has some Imperial troops: a Legion of Dawnstar Titans, an Imperial Guard regiment of Uresh Grenadiers, and an Imperial Navy fleet. If the two joined forces, they would be equally matched.

Even if we only count the total number of troops, the Imperial Army still wins, because the rebels divided a fleet, a Titan Legion and a Knight Family to deal with the Chapter Fleet, but they were all eaten by the Iron Buddha. I don’t know. Have they now learned about the annihilation of the squadron?

"What do you think?"

Fu Qinghai looked around and asked.

"I think it's okay to fight."

Qiao Shida first expressed his opinion:

"If the enemy wants to besiege the hive world, the fleet must maintain its presence around the planet, and it will be impossible to run around. This gives us the opportunity to use our advantage. We jump into gangs, seize the enemy warships, and further seize space air supremacy!"

You are addicted to gang-hopping.

Fu Qinghai thought to himself.

But what Joe Star said is right.

What is the greatest advantage of the Iron Buddha Chapter?

It's not "the golden armor that breaks the army."

But a new and different space warrior.

After all, although the "Army-breaking Golden Armor" is powerful, there is only one unit, while the new All-Different Space Marines lead ten companies. The special environment of gang-hopping combat can give full play to the advantages of the New All-Different Space Marines over traditional Space Marines. , is currently the most tried and tested trick in the war group.

But gang-hopping is not easy.

It can even be said to be extremely risky.

Teleport jump gangs need to arrange teleport beacons in advance, and also need to overload the void shield. If you hop aboard a boarding torpedo, Thunderhawk gunboat or various assault boats, you are very likely to be shot down by the close-in firepower of the battleship. The enemy will be blown up before you even see it, turning it into a ball of shining fireworks in the void.

Therefore, Fu Qinghai has never liked to board torpedoes or various gunboats and assault boats to jump gangs, nor does he like to be forcibly transported without a transmission beacon. Unless the situation is extremely urgent, he will not order this form of gang-hopping. He believes that this is a waste of soldiers' lives.

Moreover, if the enemy does not engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Chapter fleet, but maintains long-range fire at each other, then the Space Marines' advantage of joining forces cannot be brought into play.

However, as Joestar said, as long as the rebels still want to besiege the hive world, the Chaos Fleet will not be able to avoid the battle. This space naval battle will not evolve into a chase battle. As long as the enemy fights openly, he will give If you give the Space Marines the opportunity to jump into gangs, you can give full play to your own advantages.

In the 42K era, after Robert Guilliman pushed for extreme army building and launched the Indomitable Crusade, both Space Marines and Chaos Space Marines were shocked by the emergence of the Primaris Space Marines. The Space Marines felt that they had been abandoned by the times and felt very lost. The Chaos Space Marines discovered that these "Belisarius Cawl's new toys" were taller, stronger, and more powerful than themselves, and they also felt an imminent threat.

Now, ten thousand years ahead of schedule.

Master Forge Aoyama Khan is about to make the Chaos Traitors feel like they have been crushed by the times.

The new All-Different Space Marines have two additional transformation surgeries. Their physical fitness may not be as good as the Primaris Space Marines who have three additional transformation surgeries. However, the new All-Different Space Marines are equipped with the Extremis Virus, Pulse Bolter, Fat Man Launcher and MK8 Chaos Type. Powered armor can be said to have completely surpassed the Caul-type bolter, Caul-type plasma incinerator and MK10 power armor of the Primaris Space Marines.

Compared with previous generations of power armor, the biggest difference between MK10 power armor is the functional differentiation. According to the tactical positioning of different teams, it is divided into various models such as Invader type, Pioneer type, Phobos type, etc., but there is no MK8 Chaos type. An epoch-making change in powered armor - three layers of composite armor plus self-healing and see-through functions.

"I think the first task is to contact the imperial forces in this hive world. We need to coordinate and cooperate. We cannot fight each other, otherwise we will be defeated one by one."

Number 56 also expressed his opinion.

"That's right."

Fu Qinghai nodded, then turned to look at Director Xingyu. Xia Long, who was thin and white, sat with hunched shoulders among a group of tall and mighty space warriors. He looked like a small hemp pole. He was suddenly clicked. He quickly raised his head and said:

"We are trying to communicate. The enemy seems to have used some kind of jamming method to try to block the astrological communication, but I think it can be cracked. It will take a while, Khan."

"Okay, as soon as possible."

Fu Qinghai nodded and then said:

"This is the arrangement for now. The specific combat plan will be decided after contacting the hive world."

Fu Qinghai was about to say "dismissal".

At this moment, Xia Lu suddenly raised his hand.

Everyone looked at her, and Xia Lu, who rarely spoke actively in meetings, suddenly felt nervous.

"you say."

Fu Qinghai said softly.

"Khan, in addition to blocking interference and keeping astropathic communications open, there is another problem. I have intercepted some scattered psychic communications. During this time, the astropaths in the rebel fleet have been sending messages to the hive world. The imperial defenders sent false astrological messages, and even pretended to be the Iron Ring High Command to tell them that no reinforcements would come to support them, asking them to hold on to the end, trying to shake their military morale."

Xia Long paused and then said:

"In addition to cracking the jamming, we also have to prove our identity. Tell them that we are real reinforcements and not fake. Therefore, I think if the Iron Buddha fleet can cooperate with the Star Language Choir to declare its existence around the hive world, maybe... maybe it can be given The imperial troops trapped there will have some confidence so that they all understand that the empire has not given up on them. This will also prove our identity and facilitate contact and cooperation for coordinated operations."

After finishing speaking in one breath, Xia Long quickly lowered his head, not daring to breathe, like a little quail.

In previous battle meetings, Xia Lu acted as the executor. She would carry out whatever the Khan ordered and never expressed any opinions or suggestions. This was the first time she took the initiative to speak in a combat meeting, and she mustered up great courage.

The conference room suddenly became quiet.

Everyone looked at Xia Lu blankly.

Xia Long didn't know if he had said something wrong. For some reason no one spoke. He was so scared that he shrank his head and clasped his shoulders. His face turned red and he stammered:

"I...I'm talking nonsense too."

"I agree with Director Star Language's opinion."

Joestar was the first to express his agreement.

The first company commander said in a deep voice:

"We have to consider that the imperial army in the hive world is a defeated army. They have been trapped in the hive world and have received a lot of true and false information. Their morale is a big problem. .Mortal minds are very fragile. Once they start to be weak and afraid, they will be easily bewitched by chaos, so..."

"So we have to give them a little bit of confidence."

Fu Qinghai nodded and continued.

"That's right."

"That makes sense."

The surrounding Space Marine officers all agreed.

Joe Star was talking about one thing.

Fu Qinghai considered a deeper reason.

The astropaths in the Chaos Rebellion pretended to be the high command of the war zone. This trick may not fool experienced astropaths and commanders, but what they said "no reinforcements will come to support the hive world"... is true Is it a lie?

Fu Qinghai knew very well that the situation in the Ni-Delina sub-sector was so corrupt. However, so far, Grand Marshal Hexolo had only sent one of his own battle groups to support. A knight family was sent here deliberately to die. This shows that the empire does intend to abandon this secondary star area.

The hive world can contact the chapter fleet, and they can also contact the forge world of Atal Meridian. If the astrological message from the theater high command leaks, any words or phrases may reveal or hint at this. In fact, it will inevitably lead to a panic.

No one wants to be given up. The worst outcome is that all the imperial troops surrender to Chaos, which Fu Qinghai thinks is unlikely. The most likely result is that some people want to take refuge in Chaos, and some people want to hold on to the end. Then the two sides will start a civil war, and the hive world will collapse.

"Just follow what Xia Lu said."

Fu Qinghai said:

"No need to wait for contact, the chapter fleet will set off immediately to the system where the hive world is located."

"Yes, Khan!"

The Space Marine officer responded with a roar.

Xia Lunti's opinion was affirmed by everyone, and the young director of Xingyu suddenly beamed with joy, and then tried hard to suppress it and tried to appear unfazed...

Fu Qinghai couldn't help but laugh.

He raised his hand and patted her head.

Xia Lu, you have grown up.

Fu Qinghai sighed in his heart.

…

The Chapter arrived at the galaxy where the hive world is located. Xia Long contacted the Imperial defenders in the Hive World in advance. Following her instructions, the Chapter Fleet approached the planet and conducted some small-scale contact, testing and exchange of fire with the rebel fleet. .

Now the hive world is finally convinced.

His own reinforcements did come.

"Khan, Khan!"

Xia Long found Fu Qinghai in a hurry.

The girl raised her head and said seriously:

"We have successfully contacted the imperial defenders in the hive world. They revealed to me that the situation is very critical now. The enemy fleet has cut off the connection between the hive world and the agricultural world a long time ago. Now, the entire hive world Inside, people have... already begun to eat people."

eat human?

Fu Qinghai raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

The population of hive worlds often exceeds tens of billions. Industrial pollution has caused most hive worlds to be unable to maintain self-sufficiency in food. Some are even unable to produce food at all and rely entirely on the support of the agricultural world. Other imperial worlds may be able to survive for a while without food. Time, the hive world will definitely not last long.

At the same time, in the Warhammer 40K universe, the behavior of cannibalism not only shows that the defenders are in short supply of food reserves, but many Chaos beliefs are also related to this cannibalism.

Many Imperial worlds fell into the arms of Slaanesh.

It started with a lot of cannibalism.
