Chapter 860: Reinforcements in Trouble
After the repairs of Bietan's Ark were completed, the bubble-shaped folding port inside the Ark accommodated the remaining imperial ships, and then the Ark moved towards Cadia.
The impact of Agrippina's shattering and the war between Khorne and Slaanesh cannot be dissipated in these few days of rest. When Lin Fan asked about the situation of the Black Stone Array, Trazin also said that the Black Stone Array needs to be recharged and set up.
The shape of this space is between reality and subspace, with chaotic waves lapping against the shell of the Ark from time to time. Only the Eldar prophets can find the best route to Cadia from this chaos.
On the way to sail, they finally saw the reinforcements arriving from Cadia.
The main force of this support army is composed of the troops of the Mechanicus and the Iron Hands. The two imperial organizations that like to emphasize the weakness of flesh and blood and the eternity of steel are now trapped in the waves of chaos, spinning around like headless flies.
The Magi of the Mechanicus were distraught, for every second they wasted here meant that the Forge World of Agrippina was being desecrated by traitors.
The Magos of the Mechanicus and their slave laborers and skitarii formed a military formation against the Iron Hands. The ancient weapons mounted on his huge and complex body were glowing ominously, and rage roared from the huge engine behind him.
"We must escape from the storm! At any cost! You have heard the death cries of the psykers, the demons are wreaking havoc on Agrippina! The countless treasures of the God of Machines! The countless possessions of the Empire are falling to the enemy. hand!"
"I know the urgency of the Agrippina war! But there is absolutely no way I will accept your crazy plan that lacks calculation support and is irrational! The technology of using psyker corpses to strengthen the augurs and cogitators is simply the most advanced technology. Unforgivable heresy! Because of your plan, our troops are likely to sink in the subspace before they can support Agrippina!"
Chapter Master of the Iron Hands and Father of Steel, Stunus, rejected the madness of the Archmagos of the Mechanicus with the harshest words. He respects the Mechanicus, worships Omnisiah, and believes that steel can abandon the weakness of flesh and blood, but this does not mean that he and the Iron Hands Chapter he represents have become obedient lackeys to the Mechanicus.
Of course, if the new plan proposed by the Great Sage is twenty-five percent safer than the original plan, Stunus will happily accept it.
The friendship between the two parties is based on similar elaborations of faith, and they have their own views and actions on the specific expression of faith.
The longer the Great Sage worried about Agrippina's situation, the more unpleasant his taunts to Stunus were, "If it were another situation and your home planet Medusa was wailing at the feet of the traitors, your mind would not be the same." He must be calmer than me!"
"Medusa has been besieged many times by the traitors of the Black Legion! And I was very calm at the time. Your slander was just empty talk! Instead of thinking about using the corpses of psykers, you should work with me to adjust the energy of the battleship. Circuit, send all the energy to the Geller Stand Generator. If the gods of all machines are willing, we can directly break through this storm! It's like a cannonball piercing the armor of a tank!" Stunus continued to respond. Sage, and deployed more armor on the deck to show his firm attitude to the Great Sage.
Every time at this time, the Great Sage of the Mechanicus wished to tear out Stunus' mouth. The God of All Machines also bless me. What if the God of All Machines didn’t bless me?
Of course, he could never say such words, so he could only hold back his anger and slap more data and simulation reports on Stunus' face, and the same was true for Stunus.
The leaders of both parties insist on their own opinions and will not give in to each other. Their warships gradually divided into two camps in the quarrel and confrontation, and their powerful macro cannons and light spears were aimed at the weak points under the opponent's void shield.
However, both sides still maintained a high degree of restraint and did not kill each other in a tense situation. As Stunus and the Archmagos prayed to the Emperor's statue adorned with gears and cables, they also secretly wondered whether their handling of the matter was a little too drastic. They suspected that the corrupting power of the warp had intensified the Iron Hands and the The Adeptus Mechanicus were divided.
The Ark of Bietan emerged from the waves. The Eldar had tried their best to control the navigation of the Ark so that it would not look so dangerous and warlike. However, for the Imperial fleet that had lost the early warning of psykers and navigators, this The Ark suddenly appeared in a state of surprise.
To put it even worse, it means taking advantage of others' danger. The term "taking advantage of others' danger" fits the empire's consistent impression of the Eldar. These pointy-eared guys have always done their despicable things in secret.
The opposing fleets immediately turned around and pointed their guns at the huge Eldar Ark.
Stunus quickly organized the clan warriors of the Iron Hands. After the cannon fire pierced the shell of the Bietan Ark, they would jump to the Ark from the gap and bring trouble to the Eldar. Bloody lessons.
At this critical moment, a psychic communication reached Stunus's ears. Not only that, he could also see a mechanical ark belonging to the Agrippina Forge World slowly sailing out of the Bietan Ark from the battleship's auspicious device.
"This is the surviving Imperial forces on the forge world of Agrippina. We are being helped by the Eldar and other Imperial forces. Please do not open fire on us. This is the union of the Age Sages, the Rom Sages. Sages. Statement number and identification code.”
This information is still useful. The huge shells like a small building loaded into the barrel by many slaves were not fired. Stunus communicated with the Archmagus privately, and then asked the mechanical ark through the warship's communication system.
The suspicious, vigilant and restrained communication lasted for several hours. Stunus and the Archmagus were surprised and angry when they knew that Agrippina was broken. The Archmagus was so angry that he even cut off the communication. He roared in pain on his mechanical platform, complaining that Stunus's obstruction made him miss the best time to support.
Stunus, who did not disconnect the communication, heard more news about the battle of Agrippina. After learning that the three chapters of Space Wolves, White Scars, and Raven Guards, plus the fully staffed Volskani Iron Cavalry, and the Skitarii and Titan Legions stationed on the world had not been able to prevent Agrippina from being broken, he understood that even if the reinforcements composed of Iron Hands and Mechanicus arrived in time, they could not turn the tide of the battle.
He was grateful for his persistence and intransigence. If he had chosen to compromise and doubt himself under the pressure of the Great Sage, the empire's defensive strength would have been severely depleted on the Agrippina Forge World.
