Chapter 284 Nidher
The news that Red Torrent received was relatively fragmented and came from the astropaths on the home planet.
At present, it is only known that Guilliman summoned several battle groups far away from the edge of the galaxy, as well as some other scattered regional distress signals.
Yifeng was a little confused about the situation. The battle groups at the edge of the galaxy had all been summoned back. Could it be that Guilliman couldn't defeat the Blood Legion?
It shouldn't be. Wasn't that big ship blown away by us? Could it be that Khorne was so angry that he released Angron?
The People's Light got closer and moved away from that battlefield.
The People's Light moved forward along the barriers of the real world, and finally arrived in the post-Wink world, a world in the wealthy region of the galaxy but blocked by warp storms.
Here, the research base has been built to cover several surrounding islands.
Our anti-gravity technology and the flying train were all obtained here, and the research has not yet been completed.
The soldiers who were supposed to be dormant were awakened and went to greet the arrival of the parent regiment. After being awakened, these soldiers did not get the tasks they expected to start serving. Instead, they were asked to perform an indefinite guard mission.
The remains of the Eldar Ark were stored behind an Earth-like planet at the edge of the galaxy, where it was blocked by star fog and asteroid belts, and some specially designed interference was sprinkled in to obscure the detection of the Bird Servant.
"Guard this place, this is your mission."
A boring task, more technical sergeants are deployed here, research on this can continue forever.
"Commander, what is our next move?"
The ten battle groups have been dispersed, and more than 2,000 warriors have returned to their home planets. The mother group has even replenished part of its military strength, including 5,000 new recruits.
Lian Leiluo and Nian Cijin led the team again to complete their original mission.
The People's Light contains the remnants of the Dawn Angel Chapter and the Lamenters, as well as the Wolf Brothers, the Fire Brigade, the Beiwei Army, and other troops of about 3,000 people.
Originally, the next task was for Li Anjun and Kazanev to take hundreds of people to pretend to be on the home planet, return the favor to the Maelstrom Sector, and then return to the world.
result......
"Brother Yifeng!" Matthew Leo pushed open the door, followed by several important personnel of Dawn Angel.
"What's wrong? Angels."
"We need to talk."
The blood of Holy Leth flows in their bodies. This does not mean that they are all of the same mind. They are divided into several factions. Some people think that the pseudo-archangel should be sent to Baal to talk to the Blood Angel, or even to the golden coffin. The real remains of Saint Les are placed face to face.
This group of fanatical angels is an Archangel Cult similar to the Emperor Cult. This is normal, and Chapter Priests are prone to this situation.
The Angel of Dawn from the other faction felt that they should be sent to Terra, so the Weeper naturally listened to Yifeng and stayed here until the fateful moment.
The angels were noisy, but Yifeng silenced them with one word.
"Sanglis has to listen to the emperor when he comes in person. Why are you arguing? All decisions must be obeyed by the emperor."
After Guilliman has dealt with the remnants of the Blood Legion, he will return to Terra and ask Yifeng about his plan. When the Emperor agrees to the plan, he will hide it. If he does not agree, the Archangel will be sent to the palace.
"I said that I will do my best to protect him now until changes come. Who has any doubts?"
"Then...shouldn't we let the other brothers leave?"
"Strategic depth! Depth! They are at the edge of the galaxy, in the outer area. Have they forgotten the battle between Baal and the Tyranids? Their defense outside will provide us with more news and strategic buffer time!"
It was finally quiet.
Yifeng unfolded the strategic map. The current problem is how to connect his base areas together.
If you look at it from a two-dimensional map, the Pacific Star Domain enclave in the northwest corner is closely connected to the Calixis Star Sector in the north, and then there is the Dark Star Domain in the far north, where there are scattered Wolf Juxu Wait for the small world.
The east is a vast world, and there are still large areas of blank space in the northeast.
There are scattered bases in the south, which were formed by the wandering moon-class cruisers.
The current task is to open up the northeastern area, connect the two bases of the Storm Star Territory and the Hazy Star Territory in the real world, and form a semicircle surrounding the Milky Way.
The problem is here, there is the Ghoul Stars area.
A desolate and murderous place.
To put it simply, they are poor and full of super awesome aliens, including the Drazak Bone Dynasty composed of the craziest skinners, Seso demon aliens, blood demons...
Before the Great Rebellion, the Midnight Lords' homeworld was here. As for the Raven Guard, four thousand warriors, including the Ash Claws, were sent here. Even at the height of the Heresy, the Primarch did not let them return.
In the great purge that followed, many troops, both friendly and enemy, mysteriously disappeared.
The Dark Angels, Nova Warriors, Knights Errant Chapter, etc. have all been here, and the Black Templar expeditionary force has also set foot here. Either the fleet disappeared or suffered heavy casualties.
The Tyranid Zerg fleet attacked here, but also disappeared mysteriously.
The Death Ghost Chapter and part of the Death Watch are responsible for guarding this place. Their order is not to protect the human world here, because the settlement here has become a complete world of death. Their task is to ensure that the strange things there will not Invasion into the galaxy.
The Shark Chapter once operated here for a long time.
Yifeng originally didn't want to deal with this place at all, but the elves he just captured gave him confidence.
What kind of bullshit is this? I have my main gun in place and I have the guts to touch it?
As a result, Yifeng led a huge formation of one hundred Fengyun-class battleships and advanced from the real world towards the Ghoul Star Territory.
Along the way, there are several awakened Necron dynasties near the inner part of the galaxy. We move carefully along the outer and darker areas, where there are some rebel worlds and ancient human worlds that have never known the existence of the human empire.
This is a long war, but the "keeper" on the outskirts of the Ghoul Star Territory is a mysterious alien.
The Empire did not fight them, because the main force was placed at the junction of the Ultramarine and the Ghoul Stars - the world of Orask.
There are several Necron dynasties nearby. The Empire can't even deal with them. How can it fight these aliens?
Only a certain old man tried to enter along the edge of the Milky Way, so he hit them head-on.
......
Some battleships made of mysterious biomass are wandering in the void. The biological shell used by Nidherr's alien battleship allows any radiation that comes in to be turned into energy to provide power for the spacecraft.
Ranging in size from a dozen kilometers to a few hundred meters in size, these spacecraft are wandering around in the desolate dark planets.
They were born in a world of darkness, where the stars of the Ghoul Stars all glow dimly, and they grew and thrived in a variety of invisible, deadly radiations and dim visible light. So, too, is their food.
A strange...let's call it algae, growing on a dark planet by eating deadly radiation and minerals.
During the long-term cultivation of food, the survival ability of this kind of algae has become extremely strong. Nidherr sows them on an Earth-like planet or asteroid on the outskirts of a galaxy with a dim star, and collects them after hundreds of years.
The world grown by these algae will become suitable for the growth of another substance, which is the raw material for their battleships and other supplies.
It is like a hard jade tree. The fragmentation of an asteroid can perfectly create a jade tree that is more than ten kilometers long. They will use it as the keel to build a warship based on the growth status of this jade tree.
Some fungi will grow on the broken asteroid stones, which will provide Nidheer with the raw materials needed for more detailed products.
This race has reached a very high level in both forging level and planting level.
Nidhel and their food characteristics also perfectly avoided the Empire. Stars that are too bright are fatal to them. Although they can provide sufficient energy for battleships, they cannot grow food, so there is no subsequent demand.
Nidheer has suffered many major crises in its history, and most of the situations are the same. They plant algae food, and when they go back to harvest it, they find a group of Necrons with algae growing on their heads looking at them.
It's hard to explain why these races, which have provoked so many Necron dynasties, are still alive.
Perhaps the undead are also somewhat grateful, as Nidheer awakened them and gave them time to leave before the dynasty where the Skinner Virus infected them.
The People's Light drove on and encountered a world where they grew food.
"Master, the bird servant instrument shows that there is life in the world ahead, densely packed with life?"
"I don't want adjectives, give me specific quantities."
"It is impossible to calculate. The maximum detection number of the bird servants has been exceeded. One planet is completely covered with life signals. The exploration map shows a red planet covered with red dots."
"Reconnaissance troops, go to take samples and observe, the main troops spread out for detection."
The main force is divided into battleships, then cruisers and frigates, then transport boats and gunboats, everything is in order, and then...
Xiaolan rode the gunboat and looked at the world below with confusion.
There is almost no gas here, just a naked planet-sized rock with endless darkness above.
"Gunboat lighting."
The light shines below, and the eyes of the Primaris warriors can barely see clearly. The dense dry land algae is black all over, absorbing all radiation and light. There is very little reflection and scattering of light, making the planet invisible like a black hole.
"What is that, Captain Xiaolan?" A recruit looked at Xiaolan doubtfully.
"I don't know. In my more than two hundred years of service, I have never seen anything like this."
Basic tests are always carried out cautiously. Xiaolan ordered some metal to be dropped towards these algae areas. Those shining silver metal fragments were like knocking over a trampoline after knocking down the strange algae below.
The lighter ones were bounced up, while the heavier ones pierced the outer layer and sank all the way into the soft lower layer.
I don’t know how deep it is.
"Testing fire."
The various weapons carried on the gunboat bombarded areas in different locations, and the results showed that they were normal. They were as fragile as the various strange alien creatures they often see.
"Are we going to do follow-up experiments?"
"Wait a moment, I'll contact the teacher."
.......
"Commander, temporary experiments have determined that it is not a threat, and no interstellar communication capability has been found. Do we need to implement Regulation 96?"
"Okay, let's go for sampling experiments."
This kind of thing is so common in the galaxy that Yifeng doesn't care.
But while Xiaolan was hovering over Yifeng's communication, the gunboat's light kept shining on an area. After a short period of rapid growth, some dry land algae began to wither and emit a special kind of fluctuation.
This fluctuation was not detected by the Fengyun-class battleship, but it did not escape the detection equipment of the People's Light.
"There are strange fluctuations appearing from your area. Find out the cause."
.....
Xiaolan spent several days researching it. During this period, a reconnaissance warship of the Nidhur clan quietly emerged from the edge of the galaxy.
"Commander, a mysterious strip-shaped object appeared at 4723-1294-8291, about one kilometer long."
"Fengyun No. 9, go check out what's going on."
"Fengyun No. 9 received."
A battleship behind Xiaolan's gunboat kicked the throttle and flew into the distance.
We discovered them and they discovered us.
Nidheer is very smart. Meteor impacts are common, but strong light changes differently. The planting sites they chose have been carefully calculated and this will never happen before the next picking. Therefore, these "farms" It is also a disguised reconnaissance outpost.
Not only changes in light, but also ion tail flames and powerful laser weapons will cause the algae to wither and emit strange fluctuations.
This small enemy ship immediately sent a signal after observing this terrifying fleet.
"Division Commander, we received a strange signal. The technical sergeant said that it will take time to decipher it."
"It doesn't matter, keep an eye on that guy, he must be an alien."
the other side.....
Aboard Nidherr's ship, the commander felt humiliated.
"I have warned them not to get close, but they are still driving towards us at such a fast speed. Prepare to attack. Let's give them some color." (Niedherr)
A strange fluctuation unfolded, and Fengyun No. 7's bird servant instrument suddenly lost its lock on them.
"The enemy ship has disappeared!"
"???"
The outer membrane of the enemy ship absorbs radiation. In the diffusion of waves, these biofilms form a strange resonance, and at the same time have the characteristics of absorbing light and other detection methods.
The Bird Servant cannot detect it. When you look at it, you can only see pitch black. In a dark place like the edge of the Milky Way, it is not much different from optical invisibility.
"Fire the light spear towards the enemy ship's original position."
A light spear array has always been locked at that position, and now it is fired directly, and the strong beam of light instantly shines on Nidheer's battleship.
The enemy ship appeared, and in the absolutely bright beam, the darkness was so strange.
"Overflowing with energy, overflowing with energy!" (Niedheer)
When this beam-type weapon comes into contact with the enemy's biomass outer membrane, it instantly provides a large amount of energy to the enemy ship.
"Give them a taste of something awesome!"
After this round of light spear attacks, the Nidher tribe immediately launched a counterattack.
Massive amounts of energy are pouring into their warships, and then all of them are fed into the huge main gun energy storage device.
A cannon with an unknown principle accelerated the cannonball to close to the speed of light in an instant. This cannonball contained terrifying energy. When it hit the opponent's warship, it would emit a disordered particle burst like a sun, destroying the enemy. Kills all organic matter.
The cannonball swung into the void shield and disappeared.
Both sides were surprised. On the one hand, they were surprised that the enemy's shield system was so powerful. On the other hand, they were surprised that their opponent was unharmed by the light spear bombardment. The counterattack shells flew faster than the Nova Cannon, instantly raising the overload value of the void shield to an order of magnitude. The stage of surprise.
"Commander! We can't see them!"
The People's Light still has a lock on the enemy ship, and its psychic-based detectors are functioning normally.
"The flagship moves forward and all warships enter combat mode."
After Nidherr's ships fired one shot, they immediately fled to a place where they thought they were safe.
Bei Weijun in Fengyun Nine's battleship felt very angry, and the anger of being teased burned throughout his body as the ancient war song sounded.
The hormones of the eulogy pituitary gland were sent to the entire body by the powerful heartbeat. The Astartes stared at the enemy position data given by the flagship. The engine lever was pushed to the bottom, and the entire battleship entered an overload state.
Fengyun Nine was like a wild horse, rapidly approaching the enemy ship.
"The torpedo cannot lock on to the target."
"Bombardment artillery preparation."
The white ship shadow inserted into the darkness. In the horrified eyes of the enemy, a bombardment gun was ejected. Then the warship exited the overload state, and while slowly decelerating, the macro cannon began to bombard the enemy.
Nidherr thought it was a huge cannonball heading towards them at first, until they got closer and discovered it was a battleship.
"Emergency avoidance!" As the boat flipped over, the warship reacted faster than the imperial warship's afterburner turn. The bombardment shot past their edge and burned a piece of biomass shell.
Then a barrage of macro-cannons hit them. Nidherr's better physical fitness allowed the warship to make stronger maneuvering responses without fear of the death of its members. The enemies moved around in a flash, and the White Scar children also became excited.
"The bird servant re-captured the enemy, the signal is weak."
"As long as you have it, don't stop the macro cannon, let's get closer!"
If the enemy warship can be locked, it can be torpedoed.
The Nidhur tribe did not panic. The charred biomass shell fell off, revealing the hard eucalyptus branches and mineral decks. The biomass outer membrane in other areas slowly grows and repairs towards this side. In a short time, this scary-looking wound can be restored to its original state.
"The enemy is here again! Why can they always lock on us? Activate the emergency protocol." (Nidherr)
The enemy warship emitted a strange thick smoke, which was then absorbed by the biomass shell, forming a highly reactive material state.
The moment the macro cannon hit the biomass, the elastic shell exploded automatically, shattering the shells.
Your own explosion will not cause the nearby biomass to explode, only the impact of fast objects will.
Like a flowing burst of explosive reactive armor.
"Commander, the enemy's firepower is too strong, the total amount of biomass shell is declining, and we will soon be unable to defend against the enemy's attack! We need to retreat immediately."
Nidheer is very strong, but in terms of long-distance navigation skills, he is still relatively weak, so he only wanders in this area.
"No, their warships are too fast. We can't run away. We have to find a way to hide."
The battleship made its final decision within a few seconds. Pieces of decks exploded together with the biomass outside, and flew away. It was thought that the battleship was beaten to death.
Inside the deck is a second thin layer of biomass.
This kind of biomass only has hidden properties and defensive capabilities. It is used as a secondary buffer area to slow down the impact of the previous biomass explosion defense. It does not have any explosive energy of its own.
At the same time, a burst of fire and radiation thrusters started explosively, blasting the stealth warship further.
"Give them one last gift."
A biological stinger shell was hidden in the "explosion" and flew towards Fengyun Nine slowly like blown fragments.
Fengyun No. 9 discovered that the enemy warship exploded, the armor plates were blown everywhere, and violent fire and radiation appeared. The enemy's small ship signal also disappeared on the bird servant instrument.
The "weird piece" quickly approached us.
The shell of the biological stinger missile suddenly fell off, revealing the invisible biomass inside, and the close-in defense gun could not lock on it instantly.
"Fire! Fire."
Without guidance, the mortals who control the close-range defense cannons can only use their naked eyes to identify in the dark universe. Maybe the bright firelight that keeps firing can bring them some sense of security.
In an instant, the biological stinger penetrated into a close-in defense gun, and the venom that killed all biomass exploded and escaped instantly, killing the entire gun crew.
The warning sound was harsh and unpleasant, touching everyone's heart. The political commissar used the separation wall as quickly as possible to save the entire battleship from disaster.
"The enemy ship is suspected to have been destroyed, and the reconnaissance force is preparing to dispatch."
After the rain of macro-shells passed, the Shadowbee fighters explored forward along the trajectory of the shells. Their mission was to recover the broken shells of the enemy warships.
"Commander, enemy warships can avoid the pursuit of bird servants, which is of great value."
"I know. Try your best to recycle it." There are too many red torrents of this kind of thing, ranging from Father Maples' big fish research to the small door where the STC template fragments are hidden in the post-Wink world. None of them have been successfully researched.
The Astartes moved forward cautiously, and the Shadow Bee fighter's servitors also did not detect the enemy.
A black shadow flashed from the side, making the Primaris warriors confused.
"Brother, did a dark shadow pass by?"
The soldier in the co-pilot looked at him, "Dark shadows? There is darkness everywhere. How can you see the shadows?"
"Also, debris warning ahead."
While the recovery operation was being carried out, Nidheer's large fleet was heading here. They had not invented a subspace engine. Due to the influence of the forbidden spirits of many surrounding Necron worlds, the experiment probably ended in failure.
The real-life physics engine they use is somewhat biased towards the undead inertia engine. It may be inspired by the technological products found in some ruins. Their warships are very stable in the transition state. Although they are slower than ours, the probability of accidents is extremely low. .
Ninety-six shadows appeared at the edge of the galaxy, one of which was extremely huge.
