The strategic value of Alert Star immediately made it one of the most important worlds for the Imperium of Man after the catastrophe known as the Eternal Night Cataclysm.

Alert Star and even the Alert Star are the bridgehead of the Imperium north of the Great Rift, and also the outpost specially established by Primarch Robert Guilliman for the grand Indomitable Crusade!

Once the Alert Star falls, the Imperium will completely lose the only "bridge" connecting the north and south of the Great Rift, which is crucial to the war plan to reclaim the Dark Side.

Therefore, almost anyone with discerning eyes could foresee that a fierce war was about to break out on the Alert Star.

Unfortunately, Rosales guessed the beginning but not the end.

In his imagination, even if the Nachmund Campaign were large-scale, it would only be limited to the Greenskin Orc.

But Alvin's "prophecy" dealt him a heavy blow!

Not only the Greenskin Orc, but soon Alert Star will be embroiled in an even greater catastrophe, in addition to the Children of Vardan who worship Tzeentch, and the Genestealer Cult has been lurking for two hundred years.

Anyone with even a basic understanding of Genestealer knows that they are like an ancient creature called "cockroaches" on Holy Terra.

Finding just one cockroach means there are many more lurking in the shadows.

Rosales couldn't even imagine how many Genestealer were hiding beneath the Steel Continent, in those pipes, abandoned mines, and countless underground structures of steel piled up over generations. Just thinking about it made his scalp tingle!

How incredibly stupid must the rulers of Alert Star be to allow the Genestealer to develop right under their noses for two hundred years?!

"By the way, as a partner, I feel it's necessary to show some concern for you."

Alvin asked meaningfully, "You're currently in the Hongbei District, right?"

Upon hearing this, Rosales couldn't help but shudder. Logically speaking, with such a high degree of modification, he shouldn't have this kind of biological reaction.

But perhaps it was some kind of sinister malice that made him shrink back. "Yes, that's right, I'm in the Celerus Nest of the North Pacific District, so what?"

"Well"

Alvin paused for half a second, a hint of pity on his face.

"You're right!" Rosales exclaimed anxiously. Regardless of whether the higher-ups believed it or not, he genuinely believed in Alvin's prophetic abilities.

After all, this concerns his own life; surely no fool would risk their life gambling on whether someone's prediction would come true?

"My advice is that you'd better leave the Celerus Nest immediately." Alvin was quite sincere, his words truly heartfelt.

Is it really necessary to be in such a hurry?

Rosales hesitated again, tentatively asking, "Could we wait a few more days? With the Bastion-class Energy Shield in place, even facing a large-scale Orks attack, it shouldn't be breached so quickly, right?"

He finally managed to Celerus Nest and had the opportunity to make contact with "Blackstone".

If he gives up so quickly, wouldn't all the effort he put in beforehand be wasted?

Moreover, as a fellow Tech-priest, he was somewhat confident in the Bastion-class Energy Shield.

It's a pipe dream for those brainless Greenskin Orc to break through the defenses of Nest City in a short time. Besides, the Adeptus Mechanicus' warehouse is full of all kinds of weapons, and there is a large number of Diet Guard stationed in the area. Even the Greenskin Orc can hold out for a while.

"Lord Rosales, I was merely offering a suggestion."

Alvin sighed regretfully, staring at him with an expression as if he were looking at a dead man. "As for the Bastion-class Energy Shield you mentioned, can it stop Genestealer?"

While the Orks were indeed unable to breach Celerus Nest from the outside, that did not mean their defenses were impregnable.

The Genestealer had already secretly infiltrated the Celerus Nest, just waiting for their Revered Ancestor Dragon, to give these arrogant Tech-priest.

This proves the saying that the strongest defenses are often breached from within.

Rosales' heart pounded with fear; he suddenly felt unsafe and immediately said without hesitation, "Let's go, let's go right now! I'll leave Celerus tonight!" "Then, good luck, Lord Rosales."

Alvin bowed respectfully, looking at the visibly frightened Rosales: "I hope you can convey my goodwill to the Forge Grand Sage Amos Forging as soon as possible. I look forward to this cooperation and hope it will be a good start for both of us."

"Praise be to Omnissiah! I will truthfully convey your prophecy and goodwill to His Lord Grand Sage Amos."

Still shaken, Rosales immediately reassured him, not forgetting to mention the previous deal. "By the way, there's something I need to tell you. Lord Amos is very satisfied with your 'Black Goo,' and thanks to my persistent efforts, I managed to secure fifty more Gene Seed for you!"

What a fine excuse for arguing! It's clearly a scheme to line his own pocket and please both sides!

But Alvin saw through it but didn't say anything. There was no need to expose such a thing. It was better to accept the other person's "kindness" and take the opportunity to get closer to each other.

"Thank you very much for your generosity, Your Excellency Rosales." He smiled and expressed his gratitude, then offered another small incentive. "I believe that this cooperation will strengthen our friendship and perhaps allow us to explore deeper exchanges."

"I look forward to having an in-depth discussion with you, Mr. Alvin."

Rosales went through all that trouble just for that one sentence, didn't he?

Deepening their cooperative relationship was the most important thing to him. As for the Gene Seed, he had no use for it, and besides, Amos was paying for it anyway!

After the brief conversation, Rosales took a deep breath and had to seriously consider where to seek refuge next.

While many places on the Alert Star are unsafe, there are a few relatively safe areas, but the capital city, the Hyperia Sector, is the first to be ruled out.

The reason is simple: the main power of the Agamemnon Family is concentrated in the Hyperia Sector, and being Tech-priest is not very popular there.

After much deliberation, Rosales set his sights on the East Tolia Nest!

"The most densely populated areas generally have very high defenses." So, after a brief moment of consideration, he readily decided on the next refuge location. "Perfect, the starport in the East Tolia Nest can be used to transmit messages, and if handled properly, it can even legitimately allow transport ships to infiltrate."

Considering that the cult is very likely to take large-scale action in the future, Rosales intends to take a step ahead and make some preparations for the cult's forces to infiltrate the Alert Star.

Rosales thought his idea was simply genius!

East Tolia is close to the Central District, which is within the sphere of influence of the Ecclesiarchy, and it also borders the North Hong District, so it is not entirely without the opportunity to contact Blackstone. It can be said to have killed two birds with one stone!

Rosales packed his things overnight and then boarded a small airship to leave the Celerus Nest.

Under the dim moonlight, he moved to the most densely populated East Tolia Nest next to the North Harbor district and plotted how to control the Starport.

Of course, Rosales didn't forget to inform Alvin of this as well.

By the time Alvin saw the message, it was already the next morning.

Staring at the message, he fell into a long silence. Elsa, who was beside him, mistakenly thought he had no appetite and asked considerately, "Young master, would you like a different breakfast?"

No, that's not necessary.

Alvin thought for a long time, and after racking his brains, all he could manage to send was, "Good luck."

He really couldn't understand how someone could be so unlucky.

Just when you've escaped one tiger's den, you've fallen into another!

Going to the East Tolia Nest is less appealing than staying in Celerus. At least there's a "Warlord-class Titan" in Celerus as a backup, right?

The East Tolia Nest is in a terrible state, as the next force to appear in that wretched place is the Plague Legion from the Grandfather Nurgle!

You don't actually think this is the worst that can happen, do you?

No, no, no, even worse is yet to come. At the very starport Rosales mentioned, a spaceship loaded with a whole host of surprises will soon descend from the sky and crash into the Nest Starport.

That's right, that unknown spaceship was filled with plague-ridden zombies carrying deadly diseases, as well as Chaos Space Marine the Death Guard!

Now, it seems he's really going to become a "prisoner."

The data during the National Day holiday was truly terrible. I sincerely request a wave of monthly votes. There's no limit to the bonus chapter for every 200 monthly votes. I fulfilled my promise of the first 200 bonus chapter of October yesterday. I'm only a few dozen votes away from 400. Brothers, let's give it a shot, and I'll immediately cash out!
