"I didn't even have time to give Quan Lun a heads up." Qin Mo said. In his plan, he will send prophecies to all who fight on the eve of the Black Crusade.
Although Qin Mo had never met Qualun, he thought that at least Quan Lun should have a general understanding of what happened next. Whether he believed it or not, he had to know this information anyway.
"I went to remind Quailun," Vanessa said, "but it was of no use. Some things are bound to happen. Even if a person knows what will happen in the future, he will still be pushed step by step toward the prophecy by various things. s future."
"But...it seems to be true." Qin Mo had to admit it.
The Eldar like to make various prophecies and then try to change what happens in the prophecies, but the result is often that nothing can be changed after going around in circles, or even get worse results.
Instead of always thinking about the future, it is better to think more about the present.
"Do you think it is necessary to defend this forging world?" Vanessa began to make insinuations, testing Qin Mo's thoughts, and used this to deduce whether he would agree to the request to protect the forging world.
Qin Mo didn't answer, but he thought it was necessary.
The Forge World itself is of great strategic value. If you want to prevent Abaddon's Thirteenth Black Crusade from destroying Cadia, the Forge World must be protected.
In addition, Vic, the Mechanicus priest who had followed the Inquisitors to the Tyrone galaxy, was arranged by Caul to go to the forge world of Agrippina.
Giving Vic the STC template, and making a deal with Kaul so that Vic can have a better future... This series of investments is not because Vic is a good person or because of his belief in the Ohm Messiah and the God of All Machines. He is so fanatical that he gives him all the benefits for free.
Qin Mo considered Vic's position in his long-term plan and believed that Vic was even more important than the Forge World.
The Forge World must be protected.
After careful consideration, Qin Mo said to Vanessa: "I will defend the Forge World, but I can only defend the galaxy where the Forge World is located. Don't expect me to directly annihilate all the enemy fleets raging in a large number of star areas. Only then can the Tyrone Galaxy develop." It’s been two years, and the entire sector is just beginning to integrate.”
"That's enough..." Vanessa breathed a sigh of relief, very happy but also a little surprised, "What reward do you want?"
"I haven't thought about it yet." Qin Mo shook his head slowly.
Vanessa was confused. She felt that Qin Mo had already thought about supporting Forge World and had no intention of asking for remuneration, otherwise he would have made an offer immediately.
Looking at some of the previous events, Vanessa suddenly realized that everything Qin Mo had done so far was not all for profit, but might be for a more ambitious goal.
Vanessa originally thought that Qin Mo just wanted to be a warlord with more power, money and women, but now she thinks that he might be fighting for the entire race or even the entire physical universe.
"You can leave." Qin Mo motioned for Vanessa to leave.
Vanessa stood up, saluted, and then walked towards her residence in the fortress.
After Vanessa left his sight, Qin Mo began to formulate the next plan.
The Tyrone fleet remained in the sector to avoid the subsequent invasion of the entire sector without a fleet available for defense.
The only thing that can be sent to defend the Forge World is the Celestial Engine, and sending this big killer has another advantage, that is, if Abaddon starts a full-scale attack on the Cadian Gate in the future, the Celestial Engine can jump directly to Go to the planet Cardia.
Of course, it cannot be orbiting Cadia like a satellite, otherwise the planet Cadia would collapse on its own without Abaddon taking action.
The Celestial Engine can orbit a star, and as long as it exists, it will be impossible for any fleet to cross it to attack other targets.
Sending a Celestial Engine near a forge world has the same effect.
As for the entourage, Qin Mo thought for a moment and decided to let the two guards, Gray and Yaoen, bring a hundred regiments over.
The establishment of these regiments is similar to that of the Astra Militarum. Instead of only a few thousand people, there are hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people. Together with the skitarii from the Forging World, it is completely sufficient.
The other two chapters will come later.
I have been a little busy at work during this period, and the Trilogy of the Trilogy about the Thirteen Black Crusades that I have read is fragmented and not Chinese. The novel "Cadian Stands Stands" opens with Creed becoming the governor. ...just sorting out the information is so exhausting that I feel stuck and want to die.
Chapter 163 The Importance of Vic
……
Day two.
Qin Mo stood in the fortress hall, looking at the situation inside the celestial engine through the holographic image.
Gray and Yaoen stood behind Qin Mo and watched with him.
The celestial engine has just been built halfway. From the outside, it looks like two satellites orbiting a relatively small planet.
The core of the planetary part of the Celestial Engine is the labyrinth containing the Nightbringer fragments, as well as the power supply and gravity-generating device that uses the energy of the Nightbringer fragments.
The outer circle is the barracks used to station the army, warehouses for ordnance supplies, and giant dimension engines plus tens of thousands of shield generators.
This is still an unfinished stage, which means that the planet only has a core and a mantle, and a more massive crust is still under construction.
There is no "crew" in the Celestial Engine. The only person responsible for controlling the Celestial Engine is a stone man who always stays in the core of the Celestial Engine.
A stone man is enough to complete a series of tasks such as controlling the celestial engine, deploying drones for maintenance, and dimensional navigation.
In this unfinished celestial engine, there are gathered a hundred regiments of troops from two worlds in the Tyrone galaxy, totaling about 70 million people. However, after the personnel have arrived, other miscellaneous weapons, equipment and materials have to wait to be shipped slowly.
Everything was very efficient, except for one thing that slowed down the mobilization: food, because food had to be shipped from other agricultural worlds in the sector, and the existing food in the Tyrone system was not enough for 70 million people to consume for a long time.
"I have something to tell you." Qin Mo turned his head and looked at Gray and Yaoen.
The two nodded immediately and listened quietly.
"When you arrive at the forge world of Agrippina, you will not only be responsible for defending a forge world, but it may take several years before you can return."
"Don't do extraneous things. As long as you follow my orders step by step, you will win. Don't be distracted by anything."
After giving these two instructions, Qin Mo was silent for a few seconds, and then said to Gray alone: "You are now teleporting to the celestial engine to meet the soldiers you will command."
"Yes." Gray nodded and immediately turned around and left.
When Yaoen was the only one left in the hall, Qin Mo told him something that only a soulless person could listen to: "You may encounter a plague fleet, the kind that looks very green and smelly... don't follow them. Fighting in close combat, Nurgle Plague is no joke. It is possible that your metal bodies will be transformed into rotten flesh by the virus."
"I know." Yaoen nodded.
In the past two years, he has not always stayed in the Tyrone Galaxy. When corrosion occurred in other surrounding galaxies, he also needed to lead the Soulless soldiers that Klein collected from various places to clean up. However, as the Time has passed, and now there are fewer and fewer cases of corrosion in the entire Tyrone sector.
Yaoen already has experience dealing with chaos.
"I haven't finished speaking yet." Qin Mo thought for a while and continued: "There is another kind of enemy that we may encounter. Among these enemies are the traitorous Astartes. Their symbol is two very long helmet decorations. They look like rabbit ears. They are called World Eaters and they are extremely good at close combat. If you want to fight them, you'd better keep Gray and the others away."
Yao En nodded again. He estimated in his heart that the so-called World Eaters were just like the brave champion followers who appeared in the hive world before, they were a group of war-mad lunatics.
"Then there's nothing more to say, let's go." Qin Mo patted Yaoen's shoulder.
"Yes." Yaoen nodded and turned to leave, but he came back after just a few steps. "We don't have the means to communicate across galaxies for the time being. What if there is something that needs to be reported?"
"Let's make do with the messenger ship first, and I will come up with the communication method as soon as possible." Qin Mo said.
The development and use of inter-galactic communication technology was also in Qin Mo's plan, but time was too short and before it could be built, people had to be sent to protect the Forge World and Vic.
"By the way, do you remember Priest Vic of the Mechanicus? You must ensure his safety. His safety priority is above that of the Forge World."
When Yaoen was about to leave, Qin Mo suddenly gave another instruction.
Yaoen didn't understand the importance of Vic, the priest of the Mechanicus, but since it was an order, he would complete it at all costs.
……
at the same time.
Agrippina Forge World.
The entire planet has been transformed like a factory. There is always a thick layer of black fog in the sky. Huge factories like mountains and rivers can be seen everywhere in the world. Molten iron flows like rivers on the continental plates. In every corner of the planet, All can hear the binary ode to the Ohm Messiah, the God of All Machines, the Primeval Force.
In the foundry called the Glory of the Ohm Messiah, tens of millions of Skitarii are setting up defense here.
Vic walked between the positions with the gear scepter in hand, heading towards the highest level of the foundry.
"Good evening Sage."
“Praise be to Om Messiah.”
"Sage Vic."
Skitarii soldier-chaplains and others, juniors and peers, all gave Vic the gear salute and greeted him as he passed, and Vic nodded to them.
After countless greetings and countless nods, Vic arrived at the top of the foundry and met the ruling sage of the forging world.
"You're late, priest." The ruling sage looked at Vic. His voice was electronic and his entire face had been modified without any flesh, but Vic could hear the dissatisfaction in his words.
Vic is indeed still a priest. He will only hear the honorific title of sage from his subordinates or colleagues, but his superiors still call him priest.
The reason why Vic is respected by his colleagues and subordinates is that he is selfless and shares the STC template for batch printing of crystals in the name of sharing the gift of Ohm Messiah.
Vic even shared all the results of his research on artificial crystals. Anyone who is a member of the Mechanicus can obtain this knowledge for free and get Vic's answers when they have questions.
So although Vic is still a priest, he is already a sage in the eyes of others, a selfless and great sage.
"The Imperial Navy has withdrawn." The ruling sage stood with his hands behind his hands, staring at the holographic image device on the table. "If nothing goes wrong, we may have to face the coming invasion ourselves."
This holographic device was also a personal gift from Vic, showing all situations inside and outside the Forge World.
“We are not alone, Om Messiah is with us,” said Vick.
The ruling sage rolled his eyes at Vic, then pointed to the southern end of the forging world shown in the holographic image and ordered: "I need you to go to the foundry here to mobilize a group of guards and send them to us. The entire forging world is in danger now. They may not be willing to part with people, but I believe you can do it and use your good name to do it."
"Yes, Sage." Vic nodded.
I can't stand it anymore, brothers
Chapter 164 Technical Priest
……
After leaving the Forge World's grandest foundry, Vic boarded an Ancestor transport and headed to where the Dominion Sage had sent him.
The Progenitor Transport Plane is a transport aircraft with a thick armored shell and equipped with an intelligent heavy machine gun. This kind of transport aircraft is very useful in the forge world because it can adapt to different atmospheric environments.
When Vic slowly boarded the transport plane, the pilot immediately greeted him: "With you here, we will reach our destination smoothly, sage."
Vic nodded helplessly.
If it was two months ago, he would have said to the pilot that I am not a sage, but since there are so many people saying this, there is no way to correct him.
Vic continued deeper into the transport plane and walked to the position where his body was fixed. Then he looked around and saw the passengers traveling with him.
A dozen rangers.
A group of Skitarii vanguard.
There are ten people in this vanguard team, nine vanguards and one vanguard Alpha. They all wear the iconic red robes and sturdy armors, and hold radiation carbines in their hands. However, the degree of mechanical transformation is different. Alpha's transformation is more complete than the others. Also more expensive.
Vic noticed that the radiation levels in themselves and their surroundings had exceeded the limit, so all ten pioneers were concentrated in the transparent glass cover at the end of the transport plane to prevent them from contaminating the cabin of the transport plane.
Maybe this transport plane is not specifically used to transport armed personnel, but also has the responsibility of transporting visitors to the Forging World, so these pioneers cannot be allowed to stand directly in the cabin...
