Save Baal
Xi Ling nodded and went to relay the order.
Qin Yun stood there, a thoughtful expression on his face.
"After completing the mission of rescuing Baal, I will have to go to Terra to take over Guilliman's position and carry out in-depth reforms of the Imperium."
"By then, there won't be much time to keep an eye on the Calixis Sector. We can't afford to leave any potential problems behind!"
"If I leave, everything will be back to square one, and all my efforts will have been in vain."
"Before I transmigrated, the Imperium was a cesspool. After I transmigrated, the Imperium is still a cesspool. So, I transmigrated for nothing?"
Before heading to Baal to provide support, a considerable amount of time will be wasted on pre-battle preparations.
We should take advantage of this time to eliminate the last hidden dangers in the Calixis Sector and prevent the fruits of reform from being stolen by bloodsucking maggots.
After a moment's thought, Qin Yun walked towards the control room.
Before taking over the Calixis Sector, he needed to warm up the younger players and prepare them to support Baal.
The control room, which was exclusively for Qin Yun, was not far from the Chapel of Prayers; it was just a short walk away.
The soldiers at the gate saw Qin Yun approaching and immediately performed the Aquila Salute, standing ramrod straight, and began to speak.
"Living Saint."
"Living Saint."
Qin Yun nodded in response.
He then strode into the control room.
The roar of machinery came from every corner of the room.
It was empty; the only living thing besides him was the Cogitators Servitor embedded in the wall.
Of course, Qin Yun couldn't say for sure whether those Cogitators were alive or dead.
Qin Yun strode to the control panel, reached out and turned on the projection interface.
After thinking for a moment, I started editing.
The new expansion, "Save Baal," has officially arrived.
[Synopsis: With the defeat of the Orks, the war in the Calixis Sector will come to an end.]
However, in this dark universe, war is the eternal theme.
The Guide unexpectedly received a plea for help from Baal.
Baal, as the home planet of Sanguinius, is the residence of the Blood Angels and holds extraordinary political significance.
However, it is now under attack by Swarm and is on the verge of destruction.
Dante, the Chapter Master of the Blood Angels, has sent out a plea for help, and the Guide will respond to it.
The Imperium forces will assemble and head to the Baal System to rescue the Blood Angels.
[Content:
First: Open the Baal System, add NPCs for the Blood Angels series of Chapter, and increase the ways to obtain Blood Angels series Relic.
Second: The Imperial Bank will sell more War Bonds to raise war funds and issue production loans, further encouraging farming-type players.
+++ Thought for the Day: Heretics will inevitably be rejected by the God-Emperor +++
After checking it once and confirming that there were no major problems with the content,
Qin Yun then scheduled the release of the expansion pack for 6 PM.
They also uploaded some videos and pictures related to the War in the Calixis Sector to the official website.
Waiting for it to update along with the expansion, to give those Spectator Players a jolt and keep them interested in Warhammer Online.
They then shifted their focus to dealing with some loose ends left over from the reforms in the Calixis Sector.
In reality,
At 6 p. m. sharp, without any warning, the new expansion pack, videos, and images appeared simultaneously on the official website.
After a moment of surprise, the group of young players who were squatting on the official website sharing their daily gaming experiences, as well as netizens who were usually silly, erupted in excitement.
They frantically flooded the comments section under the expansion's announcement, and even invited their friends to check out the new expansion.
The official website of Warhammer Online is now one of the most popular forums and video websites on the internet.
Netizens post fan-made videos here, share their daily lives, and chat casually in the forum.
Because there are no exaggerated censorship, post deletion, or banning processes,
People are happy to log on to this forum to discuss all sorts of things; it's very popular.
Other websites, seeing this incredible traffic and customer loyalty,
I was filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.
But there's absolutely no way to take down Warhammer Online's official website.
Even if someone secretly reports it, the relevant departments will not accept it.
Of course, there were also those who were stubborn enough to use their connections to try and give the Warhammer Online official website a hard time.
As a result, he ended up suffering the consequences, with various departments coming to his door to investigate him one after another.
He was so angry his mouth twisted into a crook, cursing the injustice of the world and saying that it was one thing for him to find a powerful backer.
As a leader in the gaming industry, the company that developed Warhammer Online actually sought out powerful backers, and even those backers were stronger than themselves.
They've really lost all sense of shame.
Pooh!
Of course, these were just minor incidents, and the news only circulated within a small circle.
For users browsing the Warhammer Online website, this has no impact whatsoever.
In less than a minute, the video comments quickly reached 999+ and were growing at an extremely rapid pace.
The Wudang Wang Also Wants to Be Pirate King: "Good news, good news, another update!!"
Cthulhu vs. Pretty Girl: "New expansion pack, wow, there are also war videos and pictures from the Calixis Sector, more new material, so satisfying."
Guilliman Is My Sun: "Hehe, I'm going to save the Imperium Macho Man."
Tiangou Should Be Sentenced: "The Battle of Baal, so awesome! I heard Baal has a lot of good stuff, and many angelic factions went to this battle, so there might be a lot of Relic."
Purple Is Charming: "Please give me a spot in the game, sob sob!"
She Is Just My Sister: "I'm so envious! When will I get a spot?"
Guilliman Is My Sun: "No rush, no rush, there are only tens of millions of reservations."
God-Chosen Alpaca: "You're getting cocky now that you've got a spot, aren't you, Old Thirteen?!"
Dora is the Omnissiah: "Waaah, finally a version that doesn't discriminate against farming players?"
The Most Ballsy Bro of Warhammer: "How can you say something like that that discriminates against farming-style players? In previous versions and expansions, didn't farming-style players receive preferential treatment?"
Slaanesh's Ten-Times-A-Night Stud: "He gets loans and game rules to support him, making a fortune."
Nurgle-Kissing Fatty: "That's right! That's right!! Don't even think about altering memories, we combat players also need support."
Damo Guyan: "Hahaha, Save Baal, shouldn't we also appoint Dante as the Dark Regent? This is a sign of the rise of the Bloodline of Sanguinius."
"As a noble Sons of the Angel, I hope you will all speak to me with some courtesy."
Guilliman Is My Sun: "Angel sauce for sale in the front row, produced by the Vengeful Spirit."
Damo Guyan: "..."
"You're quite the businessman. How about this, I'll buy you a plane ticket, then you come to the island to find me, and we can start a business together, okay?"
Slaanesh's Ten-Times-A-Night Stud: "Dante probably won't be able to get the position of Regent of the Dark Imperial Regent, otherwise how would the Guide position themselves?"
Nurgle-Kissing Fatty, "Although the game is realistic, the official team tries their best to maintain the original storyline. Besides, the Guide is Living Saint, a representative of the Emperor, and that identity is already very valuable."
"..."
While handling local government affairs and resolving the remaining issues of the reforms in the Calixis Sector, Qin Yun took a moment to glance at the forums and group chats.
Seeing the high level of enthusiasm among players for the new expansion, he showed a satisfied expression.
The players' combat prowess has been fully demonstrated in numerous previous battles, making them a force capable of altering the balance of power in the war.
Making good use of them can give you a decisive advantage in many battles.
In the World Chat Channel, players were also chatting enthusiastically, discussing how to upgrade their equipment and prepare for the Battle of Baal.
The Emperor's Cattle Warband used all the Contribution Points they had accumulated during this period.
They also used the planets and industries they purchased as collateral.
I borrowed an astonishing amount of Contribution Points from the Imperial Bank.
It is used to purchase warships and ground vehicles, hire Auxilia, and create a cannon fodder army of alien beasts.
After the Battle of Calixis,
Qin Yun fulfilled his pre-battle promise and converted the players' Warfare Score into merit points.
Players can use their merits to purchase positions, planets, and industrial factories.
In this way, players can utilize the output of these planets and factories.
This allows them to support their own Chapter and Auxilia, creating a virtuous cycle.
The more you fight, the richer you become; the richer you become, the stronger you are; and the stronger you are, the easier it is to win.
Therefore, most of the well-developed Chapter now have their own planets and industries.
In addition to the Emperor's Cattle Warband, the Hammer and Sickle Warband has also purchased a batch of new third-generation Zaku Mechs.
The newly formed research team will adapt and modify these mechs.
Preparing to make a name for themselves on the battlefield in Baal.
In addition, they also formed a fleet.
They purchased a Lunar-class Cruiser and dozens of destroyers and frigates to form their own fleet.
The corresponding Auxilia equipment has also been upgraded.
In addition to being equipped with the Tomorrow Exoskeleton Armor, it is also equipped with Nanosuit.
The Auxilia soldiers wear outer armor and inner Nanosuit, creating a complementary system.
Even in places where heavy Exoskeleton Armor cannot penetrate.
They can also go in wearing Nanosuit, and their combat capabilities have increased significantly compared to before.
They were truly armed to the teeth, causing the Auxilia soldiers to exclaim that times had changed.
Previously, a suit of Flak Armor and a Lasguns were all you needed to fight all sorts of monsters and demons.
These days, when you're fighting an insect, you wear several layers of armor; it's ridiculously extravagant.
The Hogwarts Warband also spent a fortune seeking help from the Aeldari, including the Farseer Kasareth, to create Psyker Amplifier to enhance their power.
They also plan to create Psyker Titan, Psyker Cannon, and other weapons specifically for Psyker.
Each Chapter is preparing for battle, ready to make a name for themselves in the new expansion.
We're deploying all sorts of new equipment; if we don't have enough Contribution Points, we'll borrow some.
After all the preparations, each Chapter was burdened with huge loans.
Upon learning of this, Captain Kaelar, Caidin Inquisitor, and even Imperium heroes like Titus were all dumbfounded.
The God Chosen actually took out loans to buy equipment, all so they could better serve the Emperor.
Such loyalty was beyond their reach, and they all felt awe and reverence when they saw the God Chosen.
On the other side,
After Xi Ling relayed the order,
Various departments in the Calixis Sector are also making orderly preparations to support Baal.
In summer, Aing and other Imperium generals abandoned their pursuit of the Ork.
After selecting a unit to remain at the Footfall, they all withdrew to the Calixis Sector.
The Forge World, led by Las, then transferred the military supplies produced during this period to the army.
And promote unmanned factories and expand more production lines.
The Primaris Space Marine underwent modifications during this period were also incorporated into the support forces.
We are prepared to test the Primaris's combat effectiveness in actual combat.
After escorting Cawl back to Terra, Qin Yun obtained the complete Primaris technology, allowing players to unlock Primaris upgrades.
However, players need to reach a certain level to upgrade their Primaris.
Therefore, no player currently meets the requirements for upgrading the Primaris.
However, those Astartes cultivated from Gene-Seed have no class restrictions.
Qin Yun had a portion of the selected Astartes warriors undergo Primaris.
There have been many successful examples so far.
In addition to converting existing Astartes into Primaris Marines
Many young people are undergoing Primaris Surgery.
However, this type of surgery is time-consuming and requires a longer adaptation period; currently, no one has completed the surgery.
In addition to making military preparations, Qin Yun also made adjustments to the existing administrative structure.
For example, von Valancius was officially appointed as the Sector Governor, Hydrak was promoted to sector bishop, and a compliant leadership team was established.
Subsequently, they communicated with Caidin to restructure the internal structure of the Inquisition, suppress extremist ideologies, and establish a monitoring system.
The oversight system primarily reviews the cases Inquisitor.
In particular, those who engage in large-scale cleansing and extermination should be examined to see if it is truly necessary.
Expose those Inquisitor who have embezzled public funds or have been too deeply corrupted.
The Inquisition has made significant contributions in areas such as combating the Warp and fighting Xenos.
However, it cannot be denied that the Inquisition itself also had serious problems.
Excessive and unchecked power makes it impossible to regulate.
Many Inquisitor would use their influence to amass wealth, accumulating even more extravagant fortunes than the Rogue Trader Dynasty.
Even more critically, extremist ideologies were rampant within the Inquisition.
They frequently launch planetary cleansing campaigns, implicating innocent people.
This behavior not only fails to weaken Chaos, but also nourishes Chaos, causing it to continue to grow stronger.
Obtaining the blessing of Chaos before the Great Rift appears is no easy feat.
Most mortals who are bewitched, unless they are Psyker, will find it difficult to gain the attention of the gods or even demons.
These people often simply want a better life, but because they lack the ability to discern right from wrong, they go astray.
Many rebellions and uprisings were, in most cases, forced by the Imperium to turn against it, pushing it toward Chaos.
Inquisition often fail to analyze the context of the issues or seek the root causes of the conflicts.
They only treat the symptoms, not the root cause; when things get serious, they resort to suppression and cleansing.
While harsh measures may suppress some conflicts, they can also create more.
Qin Yun demanded that the Inquisition change its previous way of doing things.
Some of their autonomy was taken away, requiring Inquisitor to be subject to oversight by Imperium law and other departments.
At the same time, Inquisitor are also granted certain law enforcement powers.
If a planet is infested with heretics, Xenos, or the minions of Chaos...
They would then have to investigate the rulers of the planet.
Whether there was dereliction of duty, excessive oppression, or unfair law enforcement that led to local residents' inability to endure the situation and their subsequent rebellion.
After reviewing and addressing any shortcomings in the reform system, Qin Yun led the prepared troops on their journey to support Baal.
As the support troops departed, Titus bid farewell to the Warmaster.
His mission in the Calixis Sector is complete; he must now embark on a new Deathwatch mission.
He also sent letters to the Inquisition and the Ultramarines, recounting his experiences and expressing his hope to return.
"This is yours, as a reward for the last competition."
Before leaving, Titus handed over his weapon, 'Friendship', to the Warmaster.
Looking at the Master-crafted Chainsword in his hand, Warmaster smiled, "What a cool weapon!"
"Use it well, and hopefully one day we'll hear your legend." Titus laughed, then turned and left. "Farewell, brother."
"Don't worry, we'll meet soon. Remember to practice your swordsmanship well, or I'll defeat you in three moves," Warmaster said.
Titus didn't turn around, but instead made a gesture that the God Chosen liked very much.
He gave Warmaster the middle finger, saying, "You'll never beat me in your life."
He then boarded a transport boat and left with the other members of the Kill Team.
"Once my skills reach MAX, Titus, you will definitely be defeated by me."
Warmaster watched the departing transport ship and muttered something.
"The Warmaster is Invincibility."
The fleet, led by the Imperial Glory, entered the Warp and headed straight for Baal.
Qin Yun sat on the throne of the Beacon.
While guiding the ships, he projected his soul into the Warp, listening to the screams of those dying worlds.
The demons were terrified of Qin Yun, who was enveloped in golden light.
Wherever his soul went, the demons fled in terror, fearing the calamity that would follow.
+++ Save Baal +++
Suddenly, the Beacon received a message in celestial language.
Warp has no concepts of time and space.
The moment Qin Yun read the message, his consciousness locked onto the Astropaths sent it.
The other person's soul has been seized by a demon and is about to be torn apart.
Qin Yun easily defeated the demon and rescued the Astropaths.
The other person's soul was exhausted and wounded.
Clearly, the other party paid a huge price to deliver this interstellar message.
When he was rescued, he saw Qin Yun manifest in the Warp and was so excited that he was incoherent, calling him Sanguinius.
"You shouldn't die here. Go back."
"I will Save Baal."
Qin Yun injected a surge of power into the soul's body, restoring it to its uninjured state.
Then a safe passage was opened, allowing the other party to return to the Realspace.
On the other side,
Baal's Astropath Relay Station.
Jalen Lit kept his hands on the control panel while keeping a watchful eye on the door.
He feared that the children of angels would come in, not because he feared they would punish him, but because he worried they might stop him.
Only a handful of Astropaths remained at the entire Astropath Relay Station.
To break through the shadow cast by Tyranid and seek rescue.
The entire Astropaths relay station has never stopped operating since the start of the war.
Many of the Astropaths were exhausted.
After the Great Rift unfolded, a terrifying storm Rend the souls of these poor souls, killing them instantly.
Of those who survived, several went insane, and Lit was forced to execute them.
Now, only he and Gino are left.
"Master, what are you doing?" Gino asked, noticing Lit's actions.
"I'm just cleaning up the Transmission Cradle," Lit lied. "This will calm me down."
"Really?" Gino looked at Lit with a doubtful expression. "These tasks can be left to the servants."
"They need rest," Lit said.
"You're lying. Are you trying to send a message through Warp alone?"
Gino saw through Lit's lie. "Warp Storm will Rend your soul apart, and the Unliving are in danger too."
"But it's worth a try. When the Great Rift unfolds, the storm Rend us apart and also Rend the shadow cast by Tyranid. This is our best chance."
Lit continued, activating the psionic amplifier and Frequency Tuner in sequence, and disabling Gino's Psyker Damper. There was no need for the other party to get involved.
If there is any hope, the offspring of angels should need a living Astropaths.
After completing the preparations, Lit lay down inside.
Goodbye, Gino. If you can, live well.
"No!" Gino shouted, "At least let me help you."
But Lit had already activated Shielding Field, blocking his voice out, and entered the Immaterium alone.
Lit was roaming in the Warp, did not see Terra's Astronomican.
The light vanished, filling him with fear.
Has Terra fallen?
Is the Emperor dead?
In this dark age, where should humanity go from here?
Despair nearly overwhelmed the poor Astropaths.
The Unliving noticed his fear and despair, and they began to hunt him.
Lit doesn't have much time left. If he doesn't escape the Warp soon, he'll be found, and then...
But he did not leave; instead, he focused even more intently on listening to the voices of the Warp, searching for any possible hope.
Save the offspring of angels!
Lit prayed in his heart,
Suddenly, he saw a light.
Much fainter than the Astronomican, but equally sacred and pure, they sang loud hymns again and again.
Lit used all his strength to send a message in Star Language to the light.
After doing all this, he was captured by the hunting the Unliving.
But he smiled, closed his eyes, and prepared to face his own hell.
Having achieved his goal, death no longer frightened him.
However, the imagined pain did not occur.
Instead, the demon let out a shrill scream and then fled in a sorry state.
He opened his eyes and saw an angel bathed in light standing before him.
He wore golden armor, Crying Mask, and had a pair of pure white wings on his back.
"Saint... Sanguinius!!" Jalen was so excited he couldn't speak coherently.
"You shouldn't die here. Go back."
"I will Save Baal."
As soon as he finished speaking, the turbulent Warp sea parted, and a path appeared in front of Jalen.
Jalen wanted to say something more, but the other party didn't give him the chance. Instead, they pushed him onto the road and plunged him into reality.
Then, Lit awoke from the Stasis Pod and sat up abruptly.
He grabbed Gino, who was next to the cradle.
He shouted when the other person looked terrified and uneasy.
"Go quickly, go tell the son of the angels that he has returned."
PS: Almost 3,000 monthly votes! Oh my god, I owe you two more chapters, making it eight chapters, a total of 24,000 words.
We need to keep pushing forward.
