Infinite Metaverse

Before leaving Chogris, Fu Qinghai ordered the captain of the Steel Fox Squad, the Forgotten Knight Carel Casolin, to lead four Silent Sisters including Feiyi on the Fiery Horse Cruiser to search for other Silent Sisters and their descendants scattered throughout the Milky Way. He also sent the Eighth Company of the Exorcist Brigade to accompany them to assist the Silent Sisters in dealing with the Chaos Demons in the Webway.

Because of the Spirit Bone Amulet and the "Infernal Webway Map" that can use the Webway, the Fiery Horse Cruiser's navigation efficiency is much higher than that of the White Scars Legion Fleet. While this side is still working hard to rush from the Extreme Star Region to the Solar Star Region, there may have already traveled through multiple worlds and brought back the Silent Sisters scattered on those planets.

At the same time, because of the possession of the "Infernal Web Map", the Fiery Horse cruiser can locate the position of the Suzheng battleship at any time and merge with it - as long as Feiyi holds the "Infernal Web Map" and thinks of Fu Qinghai, the capillaries on the human skin page will automatically emerge a route, guiding to the web gate closest to the White Scar Legion fleet.

As soon as the Fiery Horse cruiser left the web space and returned to the real universe, the astropath on the cruiser immediately sent the agreed encrypted message to the Suzheng. Comparing the coordinates on the star map, Fu Qinghai found that the web gate was only more than 50 million kilometers away from the asteroid field where he was, so he immediately ordered the two warships to meet in the opposite direction.

…

Fiery Horse cruiser, boarding deck.

Fu Qinghai walked down the gangway of the shuttle and found that a group of civilians in different clothes were standing outside, tall, short, fat, thin, male and female, just looking at him eagerly.

Yes, it was civilians.

Fu Qinghai confirmed it again.

They were not wearing the uniforms of crew members and technicians, and their expressions and postures did not look like those of trained soldiers. However, they were generally young, with no middle-aged or elderly people, and their eyes were generally filled with some anxiety and nervousness.

A group of silent nuns wearing dark gold close-fitting armor and high ponytails stretched out their hands to push aside the group of civilians and walked forward. The leader was the Forgotten Knight Kyriel Casolin. They stood in front of the shuttle and saluted Fu Qinghai by beating their chests.

"Seventy-nine silent nuns and three hundred and fifty-one untouchables who have not received training, Khan."

The only novice nun who could speak, Feiyi, stepped forward and said on behalf of the many silent nuns present.

So that's it. Fu Qinghai understood.

"Very good."

Fu Qinghai nodded and said with satisfaction.

Those boys, girls and children dressed as civilians were the untouchables who had not received training. Kyriel Casorin knew that Qingshan Khan wanted to permanently form a Silent Sisters Corps, so she brought along those who had not received the corresponding training. She had considered it very long-term.

This was what Fu Qinghai was most satisfied with.

As for the seventy-nine Silent Sisters, it was not easy for them either. They had lost the support from Terra and were using the Oath Armor and Execution Sword left over from more than a thousand years ago. Even though they were abandoned by the high lords, they never gave up their own training and inheritance, and always adhered to the traditions of the Sisters.

One of the middle-aged nuns with an old face and agile figure stood up and began to gesture to Fu Qinghai. Without Fei's translation, Fu Qinghai could understand the sign language of the Sisters of Silence after quick training:

"Hello, Qingshan Khan."

Fu Qinghai nodded and said:

"Hello, ma'am."

"I am Sister Yufi Abigail of Silence."

The sister introduced herself with sign language:

"After being exiled, we have been secretly fighting illegal psykers and warp demons in various parts of the Empire, and have never given up the oath we made to the Emperor. The main reason why I responded to your call and came to serve you is that my compatriots told us that you do not obey the bureaucrats of Terra, the corrupt, incompetent and short-sighted high lords, otherwise we would never be able to return."

The sister gestured with a look of resentment.

Fu Qinghai immediately understood after hearing it.

In his memory, during the Beast War in the original novel, when the Imperial Fists discovered that the Sisters of Silence could cause special damage to the Orc Psychic Boys, they asked Terra to recall the Sisters of Silence who were expelled and exiled more than a thousand years ago. As a result, many Sisters of Silence did not respond to the call after receiving the news. They were unwilling to serve Terra again - not abandoning their loyalty and faith in the Emperor, but to continue their mission in their own way and no longer accept Terra's command.

"Of course, I can understand your feelings. That group of insects is not qualified to lead you. They don't deserve to have Sisters of Silence. But I am different. I am not controlled by Terra. I will provide you with the best conditions to continue the inheritance of the Sisters."

Fu Qinghai immediately stated his position.

The middle-aged nun nodded and gestured:

"Kairel Casolin is a legendary silent nun from a thousand years ago. She participated in the Webway War and fought alongside the Emperor against demons. We have all heard her name from our fathers. Her reappearance is simply a miracle. We believe that you are someone who can create miracles, Qingshan Khan, and this is also one of the reasons why we choose to be loyal to you."

"Thank you for your trust."

Fu Qinghai raised his lips and said confidently:

"I won't let you down."

The middle-aged nun nodded and said nothing more.

Fu Qinghai told Casolin to settle her compatriots.

Then he pulled Fei Yi aside and whispered:

"Did anything happen on this trip?"

"I met some strange demons."

Fei Yi shook her head and said:

"But they were all solved by the teacher in a few seconds. She is so powerful, A Luo, she can deal with any demon."

This is nothing, I have killed five big demons.

Fu Qinghai thought to himself, but at this moment there was no time to establish a correct view of combat power for Fei Yi, so he picked her up and kissed her and said:

"Okay, give me back the two things I gave you, I want to use the webway to quickly go to Terra. By the way, you should go with me, you seem to have never been to Terra, although that place is not a beautiful place that you must go to."

"Okay."

Fei Yi happily tiptoed when she heard this, opened her arms and hugged Fu Qinghai's waist armor. She didn't care where she was going, and she didn't have much expectation for the legendary sacred Terra. She just liked to stay with Fu Qinghai all the time.

The Fiery Horse and the Rectification completed the personnel handover. Kyriel Casorin took the Silent Sisters and the Untouchables aboard the Rectification battleship, while Fu Qinghai took Feiyi on the Fiery Horse cruiser to the Webway Gate again.

…

Why did Fu Qinghai say that the Fiery Horse cruiser came back at the right time? Because if he went to Terra in the conventional way, he would have to disguise himself and find a way to sneak into a passing merchant ship, which would be time-consuming and laborious and might not succeed, but if he used the Webway, he could sneak in quietly and easily.

Just like the Harlequin Eldar sneaking into Terra.

The distorted light and shadow flickered and dissipated.

“Click.”

Fu Qinghai led Feiyi out of the blurred light and shadow one after another. As soon as his vision was restored, he saw the woman in black leather clothes and a masked felt hat standing in front of him, holding a crossbow in one hand, with a sharp arrow pointing directly at him.

Fu Qinghai was stunned for a moment. He thought he was in the wrong place. However, he glanced around and saw the dusty hall and the ancient cracked statues... Yes, this is the place. It was also the place where he sneaked into Terra last time.

Feiyi immediately tightened the hilt of the greatsword with vigilance.

"You'd better put down your crossbow, lady."

Fu Qinghai narrowed his eyes and whispered:

"Otherwise I can't guarantee what will happen next."

Fu Qinghai just said it casually. He was ready to use force and could subdue her in the next second. However, he didn't expect that the mysterious woman would actually put down the crossbow in her hand after hearing his words, and pulled off the black mask covering her mouth and nose, revealing a delicate and fair face.

"Hello, Qingshan Khan."

The mysterious woman smiled and said:

"I have been waiting for you here for a long time. Sorry, because I am not sure who will come out of that door first between you and the Harlequin Eldar, so I have to remain vigilant and guard against it."

Waiting for me for a long time? Harlequin Eldar? Wait, she is...

The mysterious woman's words contained a huge amount of information.

But Fu Qinghai reacted in a second.

"Reincarnation?"

Fu Qinghai stared at the woman's face and asked in a deep voice.

There was no such face in his memory bank.

"Formally introduce myself."

The mysterious woman took off the arrows and put away the crossbow behind her back. She lifted the brim of her wide felt hat with her fingertips and blew a puff of bangs. She looked up at the tall Space Marine in front of her and said loudly:

"Vera Nora, currently an apprentice judge of the Demon Tribunal. I guess my cheap mother should have mentioned my name to you. Nice to meet you, Khan."

Vera Nora? This surname...

Fu Qinghai said with sudden enlightenment:

"Oh, are you the 'daughter' of Sid Nora?"

"Yes, I take my mother's surname."

Vera Nora generously extended her hand.

Fu Qinghai stretched out his hand and shook her lightly, then asked sincerely and curiously:

"You said you were not sure who would come out of the Webway Gate first, me or the Harlequin Eldar... So do you really think that you can fight the Harlequin Eldar with just this crossbow?"

"Uh..."

Vera Nora was embarrassed when she heard this.

She mentioned "Harlequin Eldar", which means that she has also read the original novel of Warhammer 40K and knows that during the Beast War, a team of Harlequin Eldar would come out of this Webway Gate and sneak into the palace to deliver the so-called "warning" of Edrad.

But if she really read the original novel, she would know that when the Harlequin Eldar sneaked into the palace, it was as easy as cutting melons and vegetables to slaughter the Imperial Guards with a sneak attack... You want to guard against the Harlequin Eldar with just this crossbow?

This joke may make the God of Laughter laugh for a day.

The average individual combat power of the Harlequin Eldar is almost the strongest among all the Eldars, from equipment to skills. Moreover, in the original novel, there was a shadow prophet in the Harlequin Eldar team that broke into the palace.

"So you actually knew that I would arrive here before the Harlequin Eldar, and you would not encounter them, right?"

Fu Qinghai stared at the Inquisitor and said meaningfully:

"Sid Nora's divination instrument is with you."

Vera Nora's expression was a little stiff.

She didn't expect that the other party would infer that she had the dark heretic technological creation, the prophecy machine that her mother once relied on, just based on her unintentional words.

After a moment, she sighed:

"The cheap mom is right... Qingshan Khan is indeed as thoughtful as the rumors say... thoughtful."

You want to say "deeply scheming", right?

Fu Qinghai smiled, casually found a section of the collapsed stone statue Shi Shiran and sat down, waved for Fei Yi to sit down as well, took off his helmet and hugged it to his side, looked at Vera Nora and said:

"Come on, tell me, why are you looking for me?"

This can be regarded as Fu Qinghai's old routine. Before negotiating, he first gives the other party a little power, whether it is force or intelligence, and then he can occupy a relatively advantageous and dominant position in the subsequent cooperation negotiations.

"Of course it's to seek cooperation."

Vera Nora saw that Qingshan Khan clearly wanted to start negotiations at this place, so she swallowed her invitation to the two of them to her secret stronghold. She looked back and found a big stone slab to sit down on. She said frankly said.

"What kind of cooperation method?"

Fu Qinghai was not surprised by this answer.

He reached a cooperation with Sid Nora, because Sid Nora is the Grand Inquisitor, and later became the Grand Master of the Inquisition. Although her personal combat power is not particularly top-notch, she has overwhelming power. , in order to become a political ally of a powerful Astartes border warlord in Holy Terra.

In addition to her status as a reincarnator, Vera Nora is just an intern judge, and Fu Qinghai has not yet seen any value in her that is worth cooperating with.

"First of all, I am also on the Emperor's side."

Vera Nora came up and showed her flop hand first.

"Secondly, although I am still in the trainee period, it is because I am not qualified enough. But I inherited my mother's huge intelligence network and political connections. I have the inquisitors of the Divination Sect and the prophecy machine that can provide Support. For this period of time, I have been paying attention to the clues related to the investigation of major events in this plot line, including the battle that broke out between the Imperial Navy and the Orcs at the Port of Sanctus. I know all the secrets behind the scenes. What happened."

Vera Nora then made her worth clear.

The words are full of confidence.

"Oh? Then tell me, what's going on?"

Fu Qinghai raised his chin noncommittally and said.

"It's all a conspiracy from Wienander!"

Vera Nora did not hesitate and spoke out the conclusion decisively, as if she had made a shocking revelation.

Fu Qinghai and Fei Yi looked at each other.

"Excuse me, who is Wynander?"

Fu Qinghai asked seriously.

"You don't even know Wynand? Well, well, she is the current representative of the Tribunal, one of the twelve supreme members of the High Lords Council, and the current leader of the entire Holy Tribunal."

Vera had to explain patiently.

Fu Qinghai tilted his head and thought for a while:

"Do I need to know her?"

"It seems...it's really not necessary."

However, Vera also had to admit that Astartes border warlords like Qingshan Khan, who had a large number of troops, especially had a forging world and an agricultural world that could be self-sufficient, and could do so without worrying about the Imperial Senate and the High Court. Council of Lords. The lifespan of key space warriors is much longer than that of mortals. They are iron-clad Chapter Masters and flowing High Lords.

The sky is high and the emperor is far away.

Terra may not know the true strength of Qingshan Khan, and she may not remember such a person after a thousand years, but Vera has inherited all of her mother's intelligence heritage and knows how much this man controls. Strength - and this is only the strength on paper of the Iron Buddha Chapter, it is the strength that the agents of the Inquisition can investigate. The strength hidden under the paper may be even more frightening.

"Here's the thing."

Vera Nora coughed slightly and retracted the topic:

"At the beginning, the Supreme Lord Admiral Lanson only transferred two fleets, the Frontier Fleet and the Kinki Fleet, from the border to deal with the Orcs Fighting Moon entrenched in Sanctus Port. But Weinand was dissatisfied with Lanson's long-term She joined forces with other high lords and wanted to get rid of him because she was the dominant one in the Imperial Council, so she used a communications officer agent placed by the Tribunal in the Kinki Fleet to falsely pass on Lanson's order, requiring the Kinki Fleet not to wait for the Frontier Fleet. Attack in advance when you arrive at the rendezvous.”

Fu Qinghai's face darkened slightly when he heard this.

"Then what?"

he asked.

"Then she took the opportunity to make trouble in the Imperial Parliament."

Vera Nora said with deep eyes.

"The Grand Master of the Assassin Court Wangorich wanted Lansong to come to the front line to take command. However, Lansong replied that there were enough outstanding naval commanders on the front line and he was not needed to command the fleet."

"During the meeting, Weinand, who had been absent from the meeting, suddenly appeared with her adjutant. She asked Lanson about the specific military deployment details of the Imperial Navy on the front line. Lanson was a little impatient, but he still repeated it. Weinand Germany immediately seized on the deployment of the Kinki fleet and questioned Lanson, and Lanson's response revealed that he had no knowledge of the situation on the front line. "

"The entire meeting was very embarrassing at that time. The Supreme Lord Admiral realized that the frontline troops might have escaped his control, so he could only end the meeting in a hurry and personally led a fleet to the Vesperils system. At this point, Venant De's goal was achieved. She set up a scheme to successfully transfer Lansong away from Terra and away from this center of political power. "

"What happens next?"

Fu Qinghai continued to ask.

"On the front line, in the Vesperils system, because the Kinki fleet attacked in advance without waiting for the border fleet to converge, all the original planned deployments of the Imperial Navy collapsed. The border fleet was caught in the dilemma of saving its teammates or protecting itself. Until now, At that time, Lansong led his direct fleet to arrive, and the three fleets joined forces before launching an attack on the Battle Moon. "

Vera Nora talks about the battle on the other side.

"There are also your people on the front line?"

Fu Qinghai frowned and asked in confusion.

Otherwise, why is this description of the battle situation so detailed?

"That's right, the Tribunal is so knowledgeable."

Vera nodded and admitted.

"What was the result?"

Fu Qinghai asked immediately.

"The three fleets pushed forward against the gravity storm of the battle moon and the indiscriminate bombardment of the orc fleet. After paying a heavy price, they used saturation artillery strikes to paralyze the shield system of the battle moon, and then the naval fleet headed towards the battle The moon launched a series of suicide attacks, which eventually caused an explosion inside the battle moon and the entire satellite fell apart. "

It should be that the subspace portal exploded.

Fu Qinghai analyzed silently in his heart.

As someone who personally led the Terminator Commandos deep into the core of the Battle Moon, he knew very well what kind of huge energy the green fire gate inside the Ork satellite contained.

"So, the news about the victory and victory is true?"

Fu Qinghai raised his head and looked at Vera and asked.

"Yes, but a miserable victory."

Vera nodded slightly and said heavily:

"The three fleets lost at least two-thirds of their warships in this battle. They successfully liberated the Sanctus port and destroyed all the orc fleets. Lanson finally led a broken fleet with few remaining Back to Terra."

"Is this all the inside story of the Battle of Port Santos?"

"That's what I understand."

"Well..."

Fu Qinghai pinched his chin and began to think.

Lan Song was blindly arrogant and dispatched only two fleets to deal with the Battle Moon. In hindsight, all three fleets ended up with disastrous defeats, and both fleets probably couldn't even touch the edge of the battle moon. In the end, the battle moon was destroyed by the navy captain leading the battleships to launch collisions one after another.

Lan Song may be a fool.

But the Imperial Navy is no coward.

Of course, the Inquisition representative Venand played tricks to force Lanson to leave Terra, causing chaos in the frontline naval deployment and hasty engagement, which was also an important factor affecting the war situation.

Why do most military personnel hate politicians?

No matter what the starting point is, this behavior of the Inquisition is very objectionable. The orcs were coming menacingly at the front, but the secret service agencies at the rear took this war as an opportunity. They did not care about the urgent military situation on the front line, and were still doing everything possible to find every opportunity to carry out political struggles. Fu Qinghai felt that Wienander should be sent to a military court.

"It comes down to it."

Fu Qinghai expressed his conclusion:

"In the final analysis, even if the Battle Moon has ravaged various places, even if the Imperial Fist has been brutally destroyed, these politicians still don't take the 'beast' seriously. They still regard political struggle as their top priority, and all they think about is How to use this war to your advantage."

"Yes."

Vera Nora nodded in agreement.

Stir it up, stir it up, just stir it up!

Fu Qinghai rubbed his teeth and said with disdain:

It caused chaos in the Imperial Navy's frontline battle arrangements and led to a defeat; it caused greenskins to run rampant across the empire and lost Terra... I just want to accompany you to risk my life.

The two then chatted about other details.

Through Vera Nora, Fu Qinghai learned:

In the entire "Beast Wars" series of novels, only about one-third is used to describe the battle between the Human Empire and the Orcs, while two-thirds is used to describe the internal political struggles of the Human Empire. Therefore, some Warhammer readers are dissatisfied with this series. The reviews are not high - they just like to watch the fighting and killing.

But after listening to her description, Fu Qinghai's personal feeling is that "Beast Wars" is very similar to the history of the late Ming Dynasty. When reading the history of the late Ming Dynasty, if you only focus on the war situation in the north and the internal peasant uprisings without paying attention to the political struggles in the court, you will obviously not be able to get a glimpse of the whole history. The history of the late Ming Dynasty, whether official history or unofficial history, also devotes a lot of space to describing and recording the political struggles in the court. And it was these struggles that determined the direction of this feudal dynasty.

The politics of Terra really looked a lot like the imperial court of the late Ming Dynasty.

A corrupt and inefficient civil service group.

The Inquisition (Jinyiwei) also has no positive effect.

"There are still some problems with your intelligence."

Fu Qinghai said after thinking deeply.

Vera Nora was stunned when she heard this:

"What's wrong with my information?"

The female Inquisitor thought to herself: I am inside the Inquisition, the largest secret service agency in the Human Empire, and I have read the original novels of the Beast Wars series. Could it be that my intelligence is not as good as yours, an Astartes who is far away from the borders of the Empire? warlord?

"There is a person whose presence in your intelligence is very low."

Fu Qinghai stared at Vera sharply:

"Grand Master of the Court of Assassins, Drakan Wangorich."

Vera Nora's pupils dilated slightly.

"And anyone who has a little knowledge of the major storyline event of Beast Wars will know that Wangorich is the ultimate behind-the-scenes BOSS."

Fu Qinghai calmly said:

"However, your intelligence did not mention his existence or his role at all. What does this mean? This shows that the intelligence capabilities of the Assassin's Court are far superior to your Tribunal!"
