Among the churning Sea of Chaos, the Punitive Expedition fleet with Sword of the Void as the core is moving deeper into the deeper Warp.
The information in Iron Warriors's memory has long been outdated. No one knows that Planet of the Sorcerers has secretly left Warp and is even within Ultima Segmentum.
Iax constantly scans the surrounding Warp tides, and uses the navigation algorithm derived from Hearthkyn to lead the entire fleet toward the depths of Warp.
On the surrounding Imperial Ships, soldiers from White Scars and Space Wolves are constantly patrolling inside the ship.
They are all familiar with Warp sailing.
Chaos Daemons can appear from anywhere at any time.
However, this time the interior of the ship was surprisingly calm.
Gellar Field is a very special Energy Field. The Energy Field produced by its generator is not a standard oval shape, and the strength of Energy Field around the hull is also completely different.
This situation will give Daemon an opportunity to manifest Daemon entities from some places with weak Energy Field coverage and enter the ship to kill people.
However, the coverage of Sword of the Void and Gellar Field is too huge.
No ordinary Daemon can break through the Gellar Field with such an amazing energy density, let alone manifest an entity on Imperial Ships to kill.
With the help of special observation equipment, Tech-Priest, as well as Captain and other crew members on each ship, are looking at the outside scene.
This is an extremely rare opportunity for anyone.
Even Rune Priest among Space Wolves and Storm Seer among White Scars took the opportunity to observe the scenery outside.
The deep space of Warp has always been a mystery to Imperium.
No one can enter Deep Warp and return again.
Even if Imperial Fleet is swept into deep space by the tide of Warp, the probability of getting lost in it is almost 99%.
There are also lucky ships that can escape from it by luck.
But most of the people on the ship have either gone crazy or have been contaminated by Chaos.
The scenes described by some sane people are completely confusing and contradictory.
And this time they finally had the opportunity to see the magnificence of Deep Warp with their own eyes.
Sea of Souls is the two sides of Realspace.
Here, Daemon and Warp Creature are the native residents.
In a sense, the human entity is the intruder here.
The scenery around deep Warp is very gorgeous.
This is an impossible sight in Realspace.
The surrounding light is colorful, and the tumbling Chaos wave is wrapped in a flickering arc of energy.
The reflection of Planet is looming in the space.
These reflections are also mixed with many weird Planet entities.
With the help of Men of Iron's composite imaging equipment, the images shared by the fleet clearly marked the entity Planet and its reflection.
If you can ignore the Daemon ghost that appears on the outer shield from time to time, the Warp voyage is actually a unique scenery.
However, except for Men of Iron, I am afraid that other biological entities cannot enjoy it. After all, once they look directly at its sight, it is enough to drive ordinary people crazy.
Tech-Priest are constantly observing these weird scenes and recording environmental data as much as possible.
Various rushing noises continued between them.
Binary Holy Writ allows them to exchange their opinions and discuss them relatively efficiently.
However, these weird readings are not unusual for Men of Iron.
The various data stored in Federation Energy Research Institute, which was hidden deep in Warp and had been operating for countless years, was far more bizarre than anything they had seen so far.
There are hundreds of recorded Warp Creature types.
It's just that these creatures cannot be classified at all using the species concept in Realspace.
Most are semi-solid or some kind of weird phantom.
"Drip."
With a slight sound, a corner of the shared image shared by all ships was suddenly enlarged.
A Giant Shadow flickered in the gap between the churning Warp waves.
Such shadows are very common among Warp.
But this time there is something different.
The small shadow was stretched and enlarged in the picture, and then countless data information popped up from it. The creation presented in the image in the picture had some artificial traces.
The part immersed in the wave of Warp is outlined by Men of Iron.
It contains a variety of possible configurations, including some kind of ship they have never seen before, some kind of ancient facility, etc.
The Tech-Priests in front of the screen were horrified by the analytical capabilities of Men of Iron.
As the fleet continues to sail.
This shadow hidden in the wave of Warp gradually revealed its true appearance.
This is a Fortress, and it is completely different from most Star Fortresss of Imperium. It is very large in size. Although it does not reach the planetary size of Titan Ship, its widest position exceeds two thousand kilometers.
The whole is formed into a flattened octahedron, and each inclined surface is surrounded by countless pattern-like Runes.
These Runes flicker in and out under the light of the sub-space background, as if living creatures are breathing.
"Spectral analysis failed, remote material analysis and comparison failed, information unknown. Material composition unknown."
Except for Men of Iron's Titan Ship and some ancient Dark Age of Technology ruins, Imperium no one has ever seen such a huge structure.
Tech-Priest They looked at Fortress with burning eyes, vaguely feeling that this thing was somewhat similar to some mysterious creation in their memory.
Iax is also analyzing this target that suddenly appeared on the waterway.
The construction characteristics of Federation Era are very obvious.
But the Fortress in front of me is obviously not.
There are not many races in Milky Way that can build these giant structures.
Imperium has also encountered many Xenos civilizations. The ships of some races are larger than Imperium Battleship, but they are extremely fragile.
In the distant history of Milky Way, an unknown number of civilized races were born.
When Necrontyr swept across Milky Way, just like Federation once, it wiped out countless Xenos races.
The existence of Warp itself makes it impossible to guess the age.
No one knows what exactly they will encounter in Warp.
Some people have also speculated whether Warp is an afterimage left over from the previous era of the entire universe.
For this unknown product of civilization, Men of Iron and Imperium have very different ways of coping.
Regular Imperium troops often record their appearance and information, and then start Kunnin' to check it out, or simply sell the information to Adeptus Mechanicus or other Astartes troops.
But Men of Iron's response seemed simple and crude.
Annihilation Cannon The terrifying beam of light was released from the bow of the ship, in front of the horrified eyes of everyone Imperium.
The beam that illuminated the space successfully hit the opponent.
A translucent barrier lit up on the strange Xenos Fortress. This strange shield deflected the terrifying Ray directly into the void.
And this attack seemed to awaken this Fortress.
