Chapter 468 Guilliman Arrives
The blue-painted fleet sailed in the subspace, and each ship carefully turned on the Geller force field that can block subspace entities to prevent the turbulent subspace ocean currents and malicious entities hidden in the ocean currents from causing harm to the fleet. .
In the subspace, time is meaningless.
There have been strange events in history where people arrived at their destination hundreds of years late, or arrived at their destination earlier than their departure time. These events are called subspace treks.
But subspace also has its laws.
After the Emperor builds the Star Torch, the Imperial navigators can use the Star Torch's light in the warp to safely and stably guide warships to their planned destinations.
The Ultramarines have been sailing in the subspace for a long time, and now they finally arrived near the Prospero System with a heavy heart.
"Primarch, we have arrived in the Prospero system." The navigator respectfully asked Guilliman for orders. "We are currently searching for Mandeville Point. Will you jump out immediately after finding Mandeville Point?"
Mandeville Point is the best location for warships to enter and exit the Warp.
If the warship does not jump into the real world through the Mandeville Point, the warship will be interfered by the gravity of nearby celestial bodies when jumping out, which may lead to very serious consequences, or even the destruction of the entire fleet.
Guilliman nodded slightly: "Leap out immediately."
He sighed secretly, thinking that the time of brotherhood would eventually come.
I wonder where his brother Magnus is at this moment. Will he show up to stop Prospero when he is about to turn into a fireball?
Guilliman was actually somewhat dissatisfied with the Emperor's orders.
He was not a murderous Primarch, preferring to use peaceful means to solve problems.
He hopes to negotiate with the Thousand Sons Legion to expel their guardian elves, and then spend decades or centuries to eliminate Prospero's connection with the warp.
Even if they really want to annihilate the Thousand Sons Legion, they don't have to do it.
You can let the Thousand Sons Legion conduct a redemption expedition, put the Thousand Sons Legion into the most dangerous place, and let the Thousand Sons Legion fight to the last man.
In this way, it can be regarded as a worthy death, instead of dying cowardly under the gunfire of the brother army.
He wanted to stop the warp voyage midway, write a letter to make suggestions to the Emperor, and then stay in place to wait for the Emperor's reply before continuing the warp voyage.
But he hesitated and did not do so.
He was in awe of the Emperor's ruthlessness, and his relationship with Magnus was only average. He had only met a few times in total, and there was no need to argue with the angry Emperor over Magnus.
Moreover, the evidence of collusion between the Thousand Sons Legion and subspace entities is conclusive.
Guilliman's heart gradually became calmer.
He could not help Magnus, and Llane and Mortarion would not side with Magnus. Both Primarchs were extremely hostile to Magnus.
The fate of Prospero and the Thousand Sons is sealed.
According to the Emperor's orders, even if Magnus jumped out at this time, the only option would be to be imprisoned.
Guilliman no longer thought about what was already a foregone conclusion.
He thought of the coalition government.
It is said that the Coalition Government will send a fleet to assist them in capturing Magnus.
What kind of fleet would that be?
Although the coalition government's interstellar navigation technology is incredibly advanced, it is a cross-river military operation after all, and it should not deploy many troops.
Fifty battleships? Or a hundred battleships?
Guilliman smiled.
When he went to the coalition government as a diplomat, he was quite shocked there. Now that the coalition government has come to the territory of the Human Empire, it is time for the coalition government to feel the power of the Human Empire.
This time he came to execute the order of extermination of Prospero. Considering the possibility of war with the Thousand Sons Legion, it can be said that he took all the Ultramarines' wealth with him.
A total of five hundred main battleships!
Counting the warships of his brothers Llane and Mortarion, there may be thousands of warships in total, a number that is enough to scare anyone.
I believe that even the generals of the coalition government will be shocked by their huge military strength, especially when the coalition government generals think that this is only a small part of the Imperial Navy.
The entire human empire has nearly 20,000 main battleships and more than 100,000 auxiliary ships.
If the coalition government had any bad thoughts about the Human Empire, those thoughts should have changed after seeing their huge fleet!
The curve of the corners of Guilliman's mouth became wider and wider.
He thought that this joint operation might be able to virtually eliminate the possibility of disputes between the coalition government and the human empire.
"Primarch, the Mandeville points in the Prospero galaxy are a little strange." The navigator suddenly said, "We have discovered many Mandeville points, which are in the shape of shells, too many to count."
The navigator's words were full of confusion.
The Mandeville Point is the closest place between subspace and the real world in a galaxy. It stands to reason that there can only be one.
But he encountered an incredible situation. There were many subspaces in the Prospero galaxy that were very close to reality. It is roughly estimated that there may be two to three hundred thousand!
Not only that, these Mandeville points are not "points", but spherical shells.
It seems that there are many indescribable things that lie between subspace and the real universe, and they forcefully crowd out the subspace around them.
Those squeezed out subspaces accumulate at the edge of the exclusion zone and are therefore close to the real world, becoming the Mandeville Point.
"What's going on?" Guilliman asked.
The navigator hesitated and said: "We have never encountered anything like this before, but at these Mandeville "points", it is easier for warp entities to exert influence on the real world, and the power of psykers will become stronger. "
Guilliman frowned.
His psychic talent cannot be said to be absent, it can also be said to be better than nothing, so he is completely unable to sense the weird scenes in the subspace.
At this moment, two to three hundred thousand holes hang in the subspace corresponding to Prospero. They insert the entire Prospero galaxy into a sieve, and the subspace is squeezed out into hollow spherical shells, exuding Dazzling, disorienting light.
The navigator was sweating profusely and hugging his head, and said with a painful expression: "It may be done by some subspace entities, or it may be done by the Thousand Sons Legion, but no matter what, I think we just need to jump into the real universe, You will immediately suffer an unprecedented heavy blow!"
Guilliman's expression darkened.
Normal galaxies have only one Mandeville point, but the Prospero galaxy is full of large Mandeville "shells."
Warp entities can influence reality in these shells, and psykers can exert greater powers in these shells. This is a battlefield that is extremely beneficial to warp creatures and psykers.
The Ultramarines are one of the legions least adept at fighting this kind of enemy. (End of chapter)
