Warhammer 40: Mortal Gods

The ship's position in the dimensional space is the coordinate point corresponding to the main dimension of the real universe where the forbidden zone is located.

The device that had just been installed on the ship was activated, and its influence permeated the dimensional space and interfered with the main dimension of the real universe, which was the forbidden area that had been impossible to enter before.

In a galaxy designated as a major reconnaissance area, the warriors of the 20th Legion left the dimensional space to carry out their respective missions.

On board the extremely dark ships.

In an extremely dark world.

The 20th Legion was conducting its activities silently.

A patrol team on the ship was carrying out their patrol mission as usual, and then suddenly an Astartes jumped out of the blue light and quickly stabbed a soldier in the patrol team's neck with a dagger without him being able to react.

When the other soldiers discovered this, they themselves were killed by the Astartes who suddenly appeared from behind.

The Astartes threw the bodies of their enemies into the dimensional space in the darkness.

One of those corpses was teleported back to the ship in the dimensional space, while the rest were spit out by the dimensional space and turned into garbage that drifted in the void and quickly froze.

The Astartes who killed the patrol retreated, their bodies gradually engulfed by the blue light. The last person who entered the dimensional space released gas from the device integrated in his arm, which eliminated the blood and any other traces at the scene.

In other worlds in the galaxy, the Astartes are active in areas of each world, killing enemies, collecting corpses, and ensuring that the Gene Father in the dimensional space can see every type of individual of the unknown enemy, even individuals with different biological characteristics due to different regions.

In silence, the Astartes completed the first step of reconnaissance.

In a small special ship in the dimensional space, the Alpha brothers transmitted the scan results of the corpse to the Emperor's Vision.

Those waiting in the bridge then saw clearly what kind of biological enemy they were fighting.

"See what I said, it's really an alien."

Lion patted Guilliman's shoulder heavily, causing Guilliman's body to tremble.

Guilliman rolled his eyes at Lion, but he did admit in his heart that his idea that the enemy might be human was a bit nitpicking.

In the holographic pattern presented on the holographic image, the corpse looks like an arthropod.

Similar to bugs.

Seven legs, seven limbs that function like arms.

The whole body is wrapped in a shell.

The scan results showed that they had no visual organs, no auditory organs, their entire bodies were covered with shells with no blind spots, and they communicated through brain waves.

Also, this is clearly not a creature like the Tyranids, although they are certainly bugs.

Because they don't use biological weapons, but standard weapons produced industrially. They can build ships, they can produce weapons, and they can produce armor that covers shells.

"Seven legs, seven arms." Qin Mo pondered.

This number triggers the keyword.

"We will complete all reconnaissance before the enemy on the first ship we infiltrate notices that they are missing a patrol." Alpha's projection said far away in the dimension space, "I suggest that the attack begin at that time."

Horus nodded in agreement.

Communication ends.

Horus immediately made a series of arrangements after the reconnaissance mission was completed.

Various information detected by the 20th Legion was continuously transmitted, and this information also became a reference for Horus to formulate strategies.

The Primarchs and the Legiones Astartes, along with a dozen Thunder Warrior Legions sent by Taranis to support the operation, will launch an offensive. They will use dimensional technology and protective devices to enter the forbidden area and jump out at the capital world of the alien empire identified by the 20th Legion.

By then, through orbital bombing, landing operations, and a series of tactics, the high-level leaders of the Alien Empire will be eliminated and their communications will be cut off.

Next will be the turn of the industrial world of the alien empire.

Until finally, they could only wait for defeat in panic and with no ammunition or food.

After Horus finished his plan, his brothers returned to the main battleships of their respective legions, waiting for the moment when the order to attack would be given.

……

The attack begins.

The human army left the dimensional space near the capital world of the alien empire, and the orbital bombardment had already begun when the information from the alien monitoring outpost was transmitted.

All the important military facilities discovered by the 20th Legion were destroyed in the first wave of orbital bombardment.

The army then descended upon the various alien military bases that had just received defense orders.

In less than seven solar hours, the capital world of the alien empire and even the entire galaxy lost contact with the rest of the world.

Horus regards his enemies as equally or even more powerful opponents, so he will mobilize other brothers to come to his side and also formulate an all-out battle plan.

But facts and victories have proven that the enemy's strength is insignificant. Apart from the weird technology that can create a forbidden area where people will commit suicide if they enter, they have nothing that can pose a threat.

When the war reached the stage where only one star system was occupied, Horus in the Dream was already formulating specific offensive strategies against other star systems of the Alien Empire.

He adjusted it.

Based on the assessment of the enemy, it was determined that the enemy was not worthy of being considered a strong opponent, so the adjusted strategy focused more on speed than before.

Orders were passed on one after another.

Soon, the attack on the galaxies surrounding the Alien Empire's capital galaxy showed results, and everything went smoothly.

If it went smoothly, Horus would not have to do what he least wanted to do, which was to deploy the Lord of Flame as a high-level combat unit on a difficult planet.

Because there is no so-called difficult planet that the coalition of Astartes, Thunder Warriors and mortal troops cannot quickly capture in a short attack.

"Report! A convoy of the Thirteenth Legion has been destroyed!"

When Horus heard this report, he immediately became alert.

Could it be that the enemy fleet was put into combat so quickly, or even possessed powerful void combat weapons that even the 20th Legion had not yet investigated, so that they were able to capture a frigate of the 13th Legion in a very short time?

Something's wrong...

Warships are equipped with emergency escape devices, which will quickly jump into dimensional space after suffering serious damage.

There are only two possibilities for a battleship to be destroyed, especially in such a short time.

First, the emergency release device broke down. It broke down under the care of a maintenance team comprised of the Terravat, the Mechanicus, and elite graduates of the Naval Academy's maintenance department.

Second, something destroyed the entire frigate so quickly that even the equipment could not react.

"Report! All the warships of the 2nd Cruiser Squadron of the 13th Legion have been severely damaged and have been urgently evacuated from the battlefield!"

"The Fourth... The Seventeenth Regiment of the Fourth Legion has lost control of the Alien Capital World!"

"..."

Horus summed up one piece of information from a series of reports in an instant, that is, something was rushing towards the alien capital world at a very fast speed, and defeated all opponents encountered along the way at a very fast speed, and finally even recaptured the capital world that was being guarded by the 17th Regiment of the Fourth Legion in just a few seconds.

"The Fourth Legion..."

Horus was in a trance.

"Those are Perturabo's warriors..."
