When the Punitive Expedition fleet was discovered by the Iron Warriorss, Sword of the Void also discovered this Star System among the Warps.
Multispectral scanning and Omnidirectional Entropy-Change Detector found the entity among the countless reflections of Planet.
Any material entity has entropy, but those Planet reflections do not.
In this case, this Star System is so abrupt in the eyes of Men of Iron.
Based on the scan feedback, Iax quickly reconstructed all the details of this Star System.
Single star, orbited by four planets.
One of the planets has obvious artificial traces.
A large number of buildings, as well as huge buildings similar to giant bunkers, stand on the surface of Planet.
And countless mechanical devices are operating on the outer tracks of Planet.
Although the appearance of these artificial creations looks somewhat ferocious, they reveal a strong Imperium style, except for the addition of some weird spike-like protrusions.
As for the troop emblem above, it is temporarily unclear due to interference from the optical detector.
Just when Iax was about to summon everyone from Imperium to confirm whether there was any hidden facility of Imperium in Warp, an entire fleet suddenly sailed out from the side of Planet.
With the help of the Psychic Power arc light that stirred up in the Warp waves from time to time, the optical vision instantly recognized the emblem on the fleet.
That is Iron Warriors who has rebelled.
In an instant Iax had a new plan.
Relying on that vague navigation method is still too unstable. If we can capture some Chaos Traitors who are not so crazy, it may be helpful to their actions.
"Notice, Chaos Fleet has been detected approaching, the enemy's identity is Iron Warriors, please do not fire at will."
A red warning message lights up almost immediately in all surrounding Imperial Fleet Bridge.
Through data sharing, they can easily zoom in on hostile targets hundreds of thousands of kilometers away.
Obviously, under the cover of Sword of the Void's huge hull, Iron Warriors successfully misjudged the size of the fleet.
Under the instructions of Men of Iron, the Punitive Expedition fleet maintained its original course without making any movements.
However, as Iron Warriors's fleet gradually approached, they finally realized the seriousness of the problem.
The target that was originally mistaken for the Broken Planet was not what they thought it was.
This is a Giant Ship.
Its hull is extremely large.
The surrounding things that are regarded as Planet debris are a large number of small Imperial Ships.
Realizing the error in judgment, Iron Warriors immediately began to react.
Countless artillery fire burst out from the fleet.
The astonishingly powerful Lance and Macro-cannon began to fire continuously. Countless beams of light instantly lit up the void.
It was with the help of the light emitted by these weapons that the large-scale orbital defense station that was the first to discover the punishment fleet immediately discovered the clues.
"That's not a broken planet! It's the lackeys of Men of Iron and Emperor who came here!"
News quickly spread from the large orbital defense platform.
Countless giant forts began to roar in the void and began to attack the Punitive Expedition fleet.
However, no matter how fierce the artillery fire of these Traitors is, it is just a step away from the giant shield of Sword of the Void that is tens of kilometers thick.
Macro-cannon exploded on the shield and caused waves.
And Lance is like raindrops falling into a lake, causing some ripples.
The firepower burst out by Traitors is almost devastating to Imperial Fleet.
Unfortunately, that is only for Imperial Fleet.
Even Battleship's Void Shield can't withstand the saturation blow.
But it's not a big problem for Titan Ship's energy shield.
The gap in size and technology cannot be bridged by quantity.
Soon Men of Iron showed everyone what it means to destroy everything.
The various conventional weapons on Sword of the Void burst out with far more intensive and terrifying attack intensity than their opponents.
The dense beam swept across all defense platforms on the perimeter of Planet.
In just an instant, everything completely collapsed in the waterfall of light beams.
Massive amounts of metal debris and corpses began to float freely in this space.
Perturabo had just learned the specific information and Men of Iron's attack had already arrived.
Destruction occurred almost before his eyes.
Medrengard is the super Fortress built by Perturabo himself.
Its surface presents a terrifying fusion of architecture and nature, with towering spiers integrated into the mountains. Each Fortress is covered with deadly fortifications, and arrays of turrets and energy weapons pierce the sky like metal thorns.
The black sun hung in the pale sky, releasing corrosive radiation that turned the surface of the earth into rusty red and scorched black tones.
What's even more terrifying is that the physical laws of Medrengard are completely invalid: Time Stream moves chaotically, space often folds, and even gravity changes direction randomly.
The speed of Time Stream in some areas is a hundred times faster than that of the outside world, causing those who enter to instantly age into corpses.
In other places, matter will suddenly liquefy or crystallize, trapping those who stray into it in eternal distortion.
This environment makes any conventional military operation as dangerous as a blind man touching an elephant.
But Men of Iron has never been keen on conventional military operations.
In just a few seconds, the majestic Pulse Beam scraped off an entire layer of Medrengard on the side facing the punishment fleet.
The surface of the earth was melted to a depth of several meters.
Countless hot magma spread everywhere on the surface.
The shield system that was supposed to be in effect collapsed completely in less than a second.
The terrible destructive power plunged half of the entire Planet into a sea of fire.
The Iron Warriors fleet that originally followed Perturabo's order to capture Imperial Ships fell into an even more terrifying situation.
Their ship was completely caught by the Gravity Tow device of Sword of the Void.
It's like being captured by Black Hole's gravity and unable to move.
And as time passed by, Chaos Fleet, who had completed the U-turn, had to accept a fact.
They are being forcibly pulled towards the Giant Ship by gravity.
Even if the output power of Plasma Reactor is already full.
The surging power generated by Sub-light Engine is causing the keel of the hull to make a terrifying twisting sound.
But in fact everything is in vain.
The ship has completely lost control.
For Iax this is beyond imagination.
According to the data, Iron Warriorss are almost the same as Iron Handss.
Both tend to mechanize themselves.
Ships also tend to have a lot of highly automated technology.
Imperial Inquisition had many times suspected that the soldiers of Iron Hands were secretly working on forbidden intelligence, but no evidence could be found.
The rebellious Iron Warriors has no scruples at all.
Many taboo technologies have been used wantonly, and many technological abuses have occurred.
However, when Iax tried to use data intrusion, he unexpectedly found that these Iron Warriors were far more troublesome than expected.
Other Traitors turns itself into Daemon, or merges with Daemon to produce Possessed.
And Iron Warriors's equipment is filled with Chaos systems that have no rules at all.
This situation will be familiar to Iax.
It's almost the same as Dark Mechanicum who are stupid enough to mistake Daemon for Machine Spirit.
Almost all data is operating in a polluted state and in disorder. It appears extremely chaotic and cannot even be controlled by data intrusion.
This forced Iax to open fire to destroy any resisting targets.
Of course, these "pseudo-indigenous" people also have their own unique value, otherwise Titan Ship's "small weapons" can completely tear Planet apart with just one salvo.
