Warhammer: In the Name of Nirvana

"Dear Mr. Luther."

"The war continues, spreads, and will never end."

"Sometimes, I even wonder if this is the future destiny of our race: endless galaxies, endless enemies and endless wars, where smoke and ammunition will eventually become everyone's innate memory."

"Just three Terran Standard months ago, Randan launched a new offensive. Their attack focused on the Khachikas system where the Death Guard Legion was stationed. It is said that the Primarch Mortarion prohibited his men from retreating. They Relying on the hive world's defenses and massive biological and chemical weapons, we defeated the alien army, but the price paid was only two-thirds of the hive world's population."

"Mortarion declared that his legion has been fighting for several years and has done enough for this war. The Death Guard legion will withdraw from the front line of the battle with Randan and undergo necessary rest. It is said that Holy Terra The authorities have agreed to his request and ordered the Iron Warriors to send more troops to take over the Death Guard's defense line. This is the seventh time they have called upon the Iron Warriors in the past five years."

"It is said that all the first batch of five thousand Iron Warriors have been killed, but to be honest, most of the legions are bleeding and dying now. Nine of the one hundred Astartes originally sent by the Thousand Sons Legion to support have been killed. There are more than ten people, the White Scars and the 19th Legion have also lost tens of thousands of troops, but the White Scars have better luck. Their Primarch has been found by the Emperor, and now they have to retreat from the front line of the war. , to reunite with the father of genes."

"However, as a result, the Fifth and Fourteenth Legions left the front line one after another, and the Space Wolves did not know where they were taken by their leader. The one responsible for the eastern part of the Randan Front is actually our First Legion. , and scattered reinforcements from other legions."

"Many people in the legion have complained about this. After all, compared to other legions, we have always been the one with the heaviest tasks and the most sacrifices. However, in the past five years, we have never had any real rest and replenishment. Thousands of people have Tens of thousands of Terran veterans died in the war, but no one could fill their former positions and roles."

"But [the Lion] never seemed to realize that, or maybe he just didn't care."

"Some people say that he is competing with the Eleventh Legion, which has also been provoking the main cause of the war. I think this statement is a bit exaggerated. The Eleventh Legion has now penetrated deep into the Ran Dan Empire, and their battle lines start from the sun. The star field extends all the way to the Eye of Terror, but there has been less and less news about them recently. It is said that they rarely send new information back to Terra."

"I dare not speculate, but the atmosphere within the legion is indeed getting worse and worse. I even heard dissatisfaction with the [Lion] in the corner of the Indomitable Truth, and also with other people around our genetic father. dissatisfaction, such as Coswayne and Morgan."

"Well...be less towards the latter. After all, she is a bit too...powerful."

"I have heard a lot of complaints about Lord Morgan, but no one has ever dared to say it in front of her. After all, everyone remembers that during the Battle of Wollaston, her psychic scream completely tore three Random ships to pieces. Dan's battleship smashed a hole in Ran Dan's battle line, and also pulled Ran Dan's battleship back from the subspace when he wanted to forcefully jump."

"Sometimes, I even wonder, is she really just an [alpah]?"

"But then again, in this case, having such a powerful psyker as an ally is a good thing to be thankful for, and she has indeed been fighting diligently at the forefront of the war for three years. We have not missed even a single battle, and we have become accustomed to seeing her appear behind the Primarch along with five hundred others, which often means the arrival of a general attack."

"Many soldiers survived because of her timely intervention and assistance. I don't know what the Terran veterans think of her now. Anyway, we Calibans have always had a good opinion of her. She is worthy of trust and trust." Respect."

"Time flies, and now this war has been fought for almost five years. Most of the familiar faces around me have never been seen again. The legion originally had 100,000 people, but now it may only be 60,000 or 70,000. But the good news is , although we are the only ones left on the front line now, Ran Dan seems to be a little unable to attack. Since the offensive three months ago, they have not launched any new attacks."

"There are still very large Ran Dan legions in the northern star sectors, but they seem to be content with some kind of sit-down war and confrontation. However, [The Lion] does not intend to continue this situation. He has already organized an army , prepare to take the initiative to attack Ran Dan’s heavily armed group.”

"Many people in the legion do not recommend doing this, but it is still the same. No one can resist [The Lion]."

"In short, the war will continue, whether started by them or started by us."

——————

The Bileven System was discovered and colonized by the Empire in the fiftieth year after the Great Crusade, and became one of the main transportation routes connecting the Maelstrom area to the northern Far Eastern Starfield.

This important position made it one of the focuses of the Second Randan War. The alien empire's army swept away the defenders here immediately and occupied this system for five years. During this period , this became Ran Dan's frontline military camp, and there were more than 200 Ran Dan battleships parked in various star ports alone.

As Ran Dan's army tried to penetrate the defense line of the Human Empire from the northeastern part of the galaxy and invade the eastern part of the Sun Star Territory, its plan was completely ruined. This place was transformed from a military camp into a simple frontline fortress, and all sixteen worlds in the galaxy were destroyed. Armed, billions of slaves shed their blood, making this place a strong fortress of four million Randan warriors.

But in this galaxy, there is no fortress that the First Legion cannot break.

The [Indomitable Truth] commanded a fleet that was so powerful that no one dared to believe it. It tore through Ran Dan's fragile outposts in other galaxies and penetrated all the way into the core of Ran Dan's heavy army group, the genetic source of the First Legion. The body intends to completely annihilate all aliens in this galaxy, thereby pulling the battle line in the northeastern part of the galaxy to a point that satisfies him. Only by holding this transportation hub, Johnson will let his legion take a break and wait for new supplies and recruits. .

And before that, they still need to bleed.

When the Primarch's flagship slowly sailed out of Mandeville Point, the battle for air supremacy in the galaxy had been in full swing for several Terran standards. While they were fighting each other in the cold light, the broken metal reflected the ruthless starlight and illuminated it to a more distant place.

The Primarch of the First Legion was entrenched on the bridge of the Indomitable Truth. Through the electronic screen and auspicious device, he watched indifferently everything that happened in this galaxy.

The red spots symbolizing the Randan battleship are flooding on the electronic screen, and they are increasing crazily every moment. When the Dark Angel's fleet erases ten red spots, there will be more than thirty from the shadows. Zhong rushed out.

And behind these small characters, there is a rather huge target: it is another Ran Dan's war moon. Nothing can better illustrate what a huge monster the Ran Dan army entrenched here is. .

Just when Zhuang Sen was thinking like this, he found that two blue light spots also disappeared, which meant that he lost two battleships at almost the same time, but this loss was worth it. Ran Dan's battle line Gaps, large and small, began to appear, and some of the Randan warships at the front began to be surrounded, while the continuous flow of Imperial warships from Mandeville Point ensured the fate of these besieged.

Zhuang Sen just watched. He watched the cards in his hand increase little by little and then be consumed little by little. He watched thousands of Astartes warriors and Randan warriors risking their lives in the void. Fighting, the trajectories of the jumping torpedoes are chaotic between their respective war engines, like an intricate meteor shower.

The Primarch did nothing, and he did not need to do anything extra. Such a large-scale naval battle that broke out in such a small space actually did not test the military literacy of the commander, because the fundamental elements of naval battles are in this kind of It has been best developed in close combat.

Firepower.

This is what naval warfare is all about.

Let the firepower of your own warship be tilted towards the enemy as much as possible, and let the firepower of the opponent's warship miss as much as possible.

This is what naval warfare is all about.

Jonson knew this, he was born with it.

He was also convinced that when the Dark Angel fleet successfully established a control area near Mandeville Point according to his maneuvers and layout, he would not need to do anything more. There would be no suspense in this naval battle.

In this arrogant silence, time passed another Terran standard, and after dropping several times the wreckage of battleships, the Randan fleet seemed to realize the fact that it could not clear the human battleships from the vicinity of Mandeville Point. They began to retreat and dispersed towards the nearest world, but at this time, many Randan warships were already bitten by the imperial warships and could no longer escape.

Jonson watched those alien blasphemous war engines burning in the void and felt a joy of killing.

It was at this time that he heard the sound of the door behind him being opened, followed by the sound of high heels stepping on the ground.

This voice is unique aboard his Indomitable Truth.

Morgan, his psychic advisor and his only [mortal] advisor, came to him.

[How was the exploration? 】

[Very well, Lord Zhuangson, there should be no psykers among the Ran Dan Warmasters stationed in this galaxy. I found no traces of psychic manipulation on the alien corpses. 】

The Primarch of the First Legion turned his head and looked at the silver-haired lady who was reporting the mission.

She is indeed very capable.

It’s no wonder that Magnus wrote a letter specifically to satirize his robbery behavior in a tactful tone.

He is still so idle.

The tasks assigned to Morgan always get the most perfect execution and results. Even if he looks at those task lists with a critical eye, he can't find any more problems.

But what’s more valuable is not this:

She is always silent, very silent. On days when she is not fighting or training, she will spend almost all her time in her room: meditating, resting, making wine, or opening and writing letters.

But this did not prevent her power from growing strangely on the battlefield. Even the think tanks in the legion had unknowingly developed awe and obedience to her. At the same time, Zhuang Sen had become accustomed to treating her as his own. The first option when faced with psychic problems.

She has this ability.

Although in necessary conversations, her tone is occasionally mixed with sarcasm and laziness, this does not prevent her from treating the truly important things with an admirable cold and ruthless attitude. She never asks the reason for the task, and She never complains about the special tasks. Whenever she gets an instruction, she will naturally become the most efficient, coldest, and most unkind instrument.

Jonson admired this efficiency and coldness, and he saw some familiar shadows in these attitudes.

The Primarch turned his head, and through the window in front of him, he saw his pupils.

He saw his own reflection.

——————

It's a pity that she is not his heir.

Not a real mortal either.

——————

So what is she?

A remnant from ancient times?

Unknown weapon?

Or is it really a person who is rare to meet in ten thousand years and can be comparable to a being like the Seal Holder?

——————

This question seemed to plague the Primarch more and more intensely, but Jonson was certain that the answer to this question could only be surmised by himself.

Inquiries are fruitless.

Because he still didn't believe every word in Morgan's heart.

——————

The sound of communication interrupted Zhuang Sen's thinking. He listened to the report from the front line, then spread out the galaxy star map in front of him and pointed to a corner of it.

[The resistance here is stronger than I expected. 】

[This is a good thing, Your Excellency. 】

The Primarch saw those icy blue eyes flashing with vicious joy.

[The more violently the beast struggles, it means we have really hit the point. 】

Johnson nodded.

[But the necessary plans still need to be modified. 】

Morgan was noncommittal. She stood aside and watched Zhuangson start to have new thoughts. She had seen this scene many times.

The Primarch of the First Legion likes to make a general plan before the start of each battle, but this kind of plan is not very detailed. After all, Jonson's tactical style is more flexible and changeable, and he prefers to make plans based on his own plans. Under the outline, it is common to make any temporary changes and adjustments to plans according to the actual situation.

She looked at the Primarch in front of her with his head lowered, thinking for a while, and then, his palm stretched out to the lion helmet beside him.

[Inform Nemir and summon five hundred people. 】

[At the same time, notify Coswayne and Arachos and ask them to come to my place. 】

[Should I fight alongside them, Your Excellency? 】

【No……】

Zhuang Sen put on the lion helmet. Through the black protection, his eyes would not be seen by anyone.

【You come with me. 】

[As ordered, Your Excellency. 】
