Fire Wheel: Battle The Moon

On the first day of the thirtieth millennium, the eight hundred and twentieth year, Nimrod sat on the black the Throne.

Even without the Primarch consciously seeking information from his surroundings, his superhuman senses still picked up on the officers' conversation.

The Vox Master's words caught Nimrod's attention.

"Communications operator, this is the fifth time you have failed to report on time during this shift, with an average delay of 3.2 seconds."

The genetic Primarch's ears trembled slightly as the voice from the communication headset entered his ears.

"Sir, I'm sorry. Communication base station A-185 and backup communication base station B-274 have both experienced anomalies."

"Identify the cause of the problem and fix it immediately."

Nimrod then noticed that the communication network experienced thirteen anomalies during one shift.

Although interference could be eliminated each time, the cause of the anomaly could not be identified.

The unusual situation triggered Nimrod's sensitive nerves, and he immediately issued an order.

"Command the receiving ship to activate all Auspex and detect shadows on the grid."

"Activate the Auspex at maximum power across the fleet, and start all active and passive data arrays."

The total energy generated by a ship over a period of time is fixed, and the commander will allocate energy according to the actual situation.

In a confrontation with the Ork, energy should have been prioritized for weapons, Void Shield, and power systems, but the Primarch's will prevailed above all else.

Nimrod's orders were carried out on every ship in the fleet, and the scan data was quickly compiled and sent to the Primarch's Attendants.

Arsena Dunn examined the data, and the "Deduction Cadets," relying on his powerful memory and reasoning abilities, immediately noticed the anomaly.

"Sir, there are abnormal fluctuations in gravity within the galaxy, with the amplitude increasing by approximately 24.1%."

"Communication channels were thus affected to varying degrees, with occasional communication disruptions."

"Navigators and Astropath report a point of light in the Warp. While it hasn't caused any real disruption, it's noteworthy."

"..."

Nimrod compared many subtle anomalies with information from his memory.

[Attack Moon?]

Nimrod knew that the Attack Moon was neither a planet nor an independent void warship, but actually the tunnel terminus and signal target of the beast "Waaagh Gate".

Through Teleport, the Orks can continuously deliver troops and supplies.

He recalled that during the "The Beast Arises," the Adeptus Mechanicus referred to the Teleport technology used to Attack Moon as "Subspace."

The Orks army does not rely on Warp travel, but instead traverses the super-dimensional space between the real plane and the immaterial the Veil, moving at faster-than-light speeds.

Compared to most unstable Ork technologies that are prone to explosions, the Ork ' "Subspace" navigation technology exhibits exceptional stability.

Compared to the Imperium's Warp Engine, the Ork ' "Subspace" travel technology is safer, but its drawback is that it cannot Teleport instantly and requires a certain amount of travel time.

The Attack Moon will approach the planet's "Subspace" in ways that defy the laws of physics.

The arrival of the jump will generate gravitational tides, which will disrupt the gravitational field of the target planet, leading to geological disasters and gravitational Distortion.

The Ork of the Wheel of Fire are so numerous that they may possess the technology to build Attack Moon.

I have no memory of it. It's possible that Leman Russ ordered the destruction of the reactor, because in the Wolf King's eyes, all Xenos technology should be destroyed.

The space war is going poorly; the Orks may call for reinforcements from the Attack Moon.

After some thought, Nimrod confirmed the existence of the Attack Moon and immediately issued the order.

"All warships, immediately take evasive action and do not approach any planets or moons."

After a moment's thought, the Primarch spoke to the Vox Master.

"Send a message to Leman Russ, warning him to stay away from the planets within the Wheel of Fire."

The black warships within the Wheel of Fire System immediately carried out the Primarch's orders, replanning their combat routes to avoid approaching any planets.

The gray warships did not slow their attack; they continued their hunt.

The flagship of the Sixth Legion.

Enoch Rashivian looked at the holographic image in front of him and said in confusion.

"Were the Shadow of Order intimidated by the Orks' counterattack? Their fleet formation has changed, abandoning their previous advantage."

The Wolf King frowned, thinking of Sanchez's fearless demeanor in his court, and shook his head.

"Impossible. Nimrod's bastards are not lacking in courage, and their losses are not serious."

Leman Russ had to admit that Nimrod lost far fewer ships than he had, yet achieved far greater results.

Send a message to Nimrod to ask why.

Before the Vox Master could relay the Primarch's orders, he received a communication from the Eleventh Legion from the receiving ship.

He dared not delay and immediately reported to the Wolf King and Wolf Lord.

Enoch Rashiván roared after hearing the report.

"What? A planet far from the Wheel of Fire?"

"Our mission is to wipe out the Orks. If you dare not approach the planet, then turn around and run away immediately."

Leman Russ bared his fangs, his icy blue eyes filled with disdain.

"Witchcraft stuff."

He instinctively reached out to ask the Sons of the Storm, but before he could speak, he suddenly realized they were still undergoing modification surgery.

Although the Wolf King looked down on witchcraft, he knew that Nimrod's actions and words must have a reason, so he spoke up.

"Give the order..."

A New Moon suddenly rose beside the fourth planet of the Wheel of Fire.

Along with the Moon appeared thousands of Ork warships.

The Gravity Bubble appeared suddenly without any warning, and the entire satellite was shaking.

Everything in this world—rocks, air, and water—has changed.

The entire planet exploded like a bomb, with tons of rocks and dirt being thrown into the air like a blizzard.

The ground cracked open, and the water turned into Steam.

The seawater spontaneously surged, forming a three-meter-high wave that crashed over the adjacent mountain with enough force to shatter rocks.

Flying rocks and debris, along with mud and water, slammed into the terrified Ork as they ran.

The two Orks fell down, their heads crushed by the Rock.

The Ork fled in panic, shouting loudly.

"The Moon is back..."

As the image of the Moon rising from this world not long ago flashed through their minds, another Gravity Bubble tore this world apart.

Hundreds and thousands of Orks turned into blood clouds, disappearing amidst the explosion of rocks and violent tremors.

A colossal wave surged through the starry sea of Wheel of Fire, oscillating in the gravitational tides.

The four capital ships and twenty-six escort ships of the Sixth Legion, which had just received the Wolf King's order to retreat, flew towards the New Life Moon as if being swallowed by a terrifyingly gaping maw.

The Space Wolves battleships angrily attacked the rising Moon, raining Moon Lance, torpedoes, and lasers.

Onboard the Shadow of the Throne, Nimrod gazed at the New Life Moon.

The Attack Moon was much smaller than I had imagined, probably only one-fifth the size of Luna.

Hmm, it seems it hasn't been built long and hasn't devoured any "food" yet.

Nimrod knew that it would take time for the Attack Moon to devour the planets.

After the Ork conquer the planet, they will need to build Gravity Link Facility on it and then adapt them to match the same type of equipment on the Attack Moon.

Once the adjustment is complete, the activated Gravity Link Facility will begin to slowly tear apart the planet, pushing massive mountains and fractured mantle plates into the gaping maw of the Attack Moon above, ultimately making them part of the mother planet.

The Primarch knew from the size of the Attack Moon and the surrounding fragments the size of the escort ships that it had not yet completed a planetary "devour".

The Primarch's deep eyes gazed at the massive, Distortion, and bizarre Ork totem on the surface of the Attack Moon, composed of countless metal parts.

The Ork totem is circular in shape, with wavy lines around its edges and a Distortion crescent moon inside.

[The Evil Sunz Clan]

The Evil Sunz Clan built the Attack Moon, isn't that a coincidence?

The "Baron of Corruption" needs the teeth of the Evil Sunz Clan.

As Nimrod pondered, he saw the mountain ranges on the surface of the Attack Moon churning, their flails swirling and leaping like giant pythons, hurtling towards the gray warship.

The flail struck the ship, and the armor at the point of contact collapsed inward like thin paper.

The collapse point radiated gravitational waves outwards, the keel of the ship fractured in a ring shape, and the metal at the fracture surface shimmered with the light of high-temperature vitrification.

In an instant, the gravitational turbulence smashed the gray warship in half.

Nimrod watched as the thirty Space Wolves warships were torn apart, and silently said to himself.

[Attack Moon's main attack method - Gravity Whip.]

The opportunity has arrived.

The Primarch immediately issued the order, "Board the Moon!"
