Warhammer: I live under the watchful eyes of the gods

Chapter 213 The Arrival of the Wild Wolf, Tzeentch's Strategy
The hustle and bustle on Prospero faded away, and the dark and deep space once again occupied almost the entire background.

Like a man-eating crocodile losing its target, it seemed that it had "prophesied" that it would be detected, and soon those fleets belonging to the Thousand Sons hid themselves again.

But this time, they chose to hide in a nearby nebula.

This time, even though Karl could still "guess" their positions, all the optical observation equipment could no longer find the shadows of those ships.

"Anchor route, go to Mandeville point."

After giving the temporary order, Carl, who felt extremely tired, walked off the captain's seat of the Expansion.

Only when a person is idle can he experience the exhaustion accumulated physically and mentally.

Don't look at it's just an ordinary day + staying up until almost early morning.

But he can be regarded as not idle for a second.

In addition to taking the time to control most of the automatic weapons, he also planted some foreshadowing on Prospero.

This can be clearly seen from the 111482 power of hope left on the book.

=========
Some seeds must be planted in the most subtle way before they can become bargaining chips at the most critical moment.

This is exactly the significance of preparing for the dozens of first-level recovery winds and an additional second-level recovery wind.

At this moment, Prospero, who seemed to be calm, had already been secretly laid by Karl.

At the same time, this also made Karl realize a problem.

The level of the wind of recovery is far from enough.

After spreading out such a huge field network, simply maintaining its existence has become a relatively huge mental burden.

If it weren't for the various trainings he had experienced before, he even doubted whether he would be able to withstand such terrifying pressure.

And this also made him start to speculate on the horror of the Emperor's strength.

The terrifying realm unfolded by the sixth-order final form on the perfect city is still vivid in my mind.

What a great power that is.

Turning his head to look at Kaya, who was holding the judge and pretending to be a professional captain, Karl even felt a little funny.

The way I treat Kaya is basically the same as the way the Emperor treats him.

This made him want to complain, but he finally held back the words of "living more and making less money".

He has to admit that this is a kind of use, but it seems that he has gained something more or less in the process of use.

Lying on the cold floor in the aisle, feeling the unnatural feeling of the edge of the ship due to the distortion of the gravity simulation position, he has been thinking about why Magnus or Tzeentch did not choose to pursue the Expansion.

The good news is that there is no need for any prophetic communication, nor does Carl need to explain to anyone passing in the hallway why he is lying here fishing.

This is the convenience brought by the Wind of Recovery field.

Close your eyes and temporarily put aside all complicated thoughts.

At this moment, he needs to recover quickly to prepare for the upcoming battle.

Zzz…………

This is an alternative refreshing feeling of sleeping under extreme exhaustion.

It is the "happiness" that cannot be experienced in the life of Frank No. [-]'s "luxury and money".

Unfortunately, it didn't take long for Karl to be quarreled by the news of the arrival of the wolf cubs.

= Huge subspace navigation fluctuations detected =
= The location where the opponent jumped out of the subspace is D quadrant, 24241, 24423, 00122=
This is exactly the opposite angle to where the Thousand Sons Fleet is located, and it is also the so-called Mandeville point of the entire Prospero galaxy.

It can be said that it is safest to jump in and out of the subspace here.

Accompanied by the agitation of a huge number of subspace engines, purple lightning suddenly began to shoot out of nowhere in a void.

And when these strange phenomena reached their peak, under the silent roar of the lonely universe, the terrifying mouths were torn open out of thin air.

The light transmitted from those huge cracks contains ancient and crazy messages.

It was a whisper in the Warp.

As if pushed to this battlefield by a curse like fate, more and more huge ship shadows jumped out of the space representing madness one after another.

78 capital ships, and an auxiliary fleet about four times the size of the capital ship formed a huge square formation in the void.

The light transmitted by the distant stars shone on the giant muzzles raised high, reflecting a shockingly cold light.

Even through the void, Karl can tell from the instrument that those magnificent battleships are quickly entering the combat readiness state at this moment.

Engines were roaring, and void shields, shut down for warp travel, were being raised rapidly.

It was a faint turquoise light curtain, representing the horror technology of the golden age.

=Communication request access=
"The wolf king summons you."

=Communication Closed=
Yes, you didn't miss it.

There were no ceremonial greetings, no room for negotiation.

Even when Kaya, who had just connected to the call, looked dazed, the wolf-skinned figure in the communication hung up the communication.

In Karl's view, it was not so much a dialogue as a kind of unilateral command.

But just from this short sentence, Carl has already heard the problem.

How could the wolf king Lemanus know his identity?

You must know that including coming to inform, but he only made the decision yesterday morning.

The Space Wolves fleet, which is navigating in the warp space, cannot read the astronomical communication due to the Geller stance.

The only possible situation is that Tzeentch has done something in it.

Looking out of the porthole, the silver reflection has long since disappeared, replaced by dense black muzzles.

Even from a long distance, Karl could feel a locked breath.

At this moment, he finally knew why the other party would put on such a tone.

=They are the Emperor's executioners, the executors of the Emperor's will=
=They never questioned the Emperor's order, and they are the ones in Astartes who can really raise their claws towards their former brothers under the Emperor's order without hesitation=
And at this moment, it seems that before the execution, the last chance to defend himself almost confirmed Carl's conjecture.

"This is really unfair!"

It's a bad feeling to be calculated.

But such is the nature of Tzeentch's trials.

Fortunately, he also has a lot of evidence to mention, and even Kaya as a guarantee.

Although Karl didn't know what price she had to pay every time she let the emperor appear, but the price at such a critical moment could only be "repaid" slowly later.

"The whole ship is disarmed and parked in place."

With Carl's final decision, the Expansion immediately began to disarm.

If there's only one cruiser, maybe Karl can give it a go with the "subatomic defect on the void shield".

But if you are facing an entire fleet, it is obviously somewhat courting death.

Especially at this juncture, if some weapons suddenly fire due to "accidents", it will be over.

=Void shield is closing=
=All self-defense weapons have entered lock mode=
Fortunately, after a careful inspection, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

What made him laugh and cry was that there was no automatic weapon on the Expansion because of its backward design.

This kind of backwardness and change of direction helped him eliminate the possibility of Tzeentch's manipulation.

And when he finally took the dissatisfied sailors on the Expansion to finish locking the weapons, the huge and magnificent battleship had already arrived above the Expansion that was moored in place.

The huge Hrafnkel (Hrafnkel), with an unparalleled sense of oppression, completed the anchoring in the relative space with those huge engines that were big enough to fit two Expansions.

With the opening of the compartment in the distance, a Stormbird galloped out of the "ports" with light blue isolation nets rising from the surface.

Like a leaping elf, it drew a graceful arc in the void and then stopped in the port of the same model of the Expansion.

It's not that the Hrafinkel, the Space Wolves' Glorious Queen-class battleship, is cutting corners.

Rather, Kaizen itself is a professional transport ship, so it will naturally be a few times larger at the berthing port that represents the throughput.

The only pity is that as the hatch of the Stormbird opened, none of Karl's acquaintances came out of it.

The only ones who came to meet them were two ordinary Fenrisian warriors in power armor and wolf hair cloaks around their shoulders.

The emblem on their shoulders is a wolf howling in the moonlight.

That is the mark of the CHAMPIONS OF FENRIS.

The company's tradition has always been to be good at using elite tactics, that is, to use a large number of wolf guards as the company's assault spearhead.

At the same time, the howling wolf head also represents their will to tear apart all enemies.

"Karl Price, do you disagree with these accusations of betraying the Empire and the Thousand Sons?"

As a long scroll was unrolled by two wolf guards, Tzeentch's tricks were really in vain at this moment.

Even Carl didn't bother to read what was written on it.

Anyway, any possibility he wanted to quibble was almost completely blocked by Tzeentch who had already dug a hole.

You must know that what Leman Russ obtained this time was not the "killing order" tampered with by Horus.

It is true that Leman Russ could fight his former brother with swords without hesitation.

But that has a premise - it must be an order issued by the emperor.

A mere "arrest warrant" does not mean that Magnus has completely betrayed.

As a result, the fallen version of Magnus or Tzeentch's "planting" of Karl has almost no risk of failure.

Indeed, Karl had a great deal of evidence in his hands.

But as long as the Thousand Sons bite him to death as a traitor, then obviously Leman Russ will still choose to believe in an old brother who has already begun to repent and catch him despite making a huge mistake, rather than a traitor who escaped alone .

"Take me to see the Wolf King, and I will accept the result of your so-called trial."

Seeing this, one of the wolf guards continued to ask: "Take your accomplices with you."

(companion?)

Hearing this, Karl was stunned for a moment before realizing that this sentence refers to Abbadan.

Karl, who was used to fighting alone, almost forgot that he had brought a "time travel trainee" with him on this trip.

Carl, who had just reacted, immediately called Abbadan to come over.

"You are Izekel Abbadan?"

Hearing the question from one of the wolf guards, Abadan subconsciously frowned.

That's disrespectful.

Cricket, an ordinary wolf guard, talked to a company commander, son of Horus, in this tone?
In the past, Abadan had to go up and make gestures to let him know what would happen if he showed disrespect to a Son of Horus company commander.

But fortunately, Karl on the side corrected the misconceptions he hadn't fully brought in yet with his eyes.

You know, at this moment, if the two sides "combine" here.

Even if Karl and Abadan can completely crush these two ignorant wolf guards like elephants stepping on ants, it will only make Tzeentch laugh in the dark.

But don't forget, there are countless large-caliber weapons of all kinds on their heads at this moment.

Let alone the Expansion, the entire planet of Prospero can be orbitally bombarded.

This is the main reason why the Thousand Sons chose not to ambush the Space Wolves fleet directly at Mandeville Point.

Even such an ambush would cause the Space Wolves to suffer heavy casualties in the first instance because they were too late to deploy their void shields.

But the already huge fleet base of the Space Wolves is really here.

This kind of ambush can only cause serious damage, but not wipe out.

And once the wild beast hides in the dense forest and licks the wound, the mad wolf in the eyes of these thousand sons will become a shadow that will never go away in their hearts.

So the fallen version of Magnus, who knew this well, wanted to lock these wild wolves in the battlefield named Prospero and wipe them out completely to prevent future troubles.

Fortunately, Abadan can be regarded as enlightened under Karl's continuous training.

With just one look, he immediately understood the situation in front of him.

Faced with this predicament, Abadan can only obediently follow Karl and Kaya on the storm bird.

But just as he stepped onto the sloping deck of the Stormbird, he read a kind of "shock" from Karl's sight in front of him.

Pretending to be calm, he passed the two wolf guards standing in front of the deck like door gods at this time, and the curious Abadan also followed Karl's line of sight.

Finally, on the back of the cloaks of the two wolf guards, Abadan saw the culprit that shocked Karl.

"Fuxu Ferdinand"

"Luc Ferdinand"

This is somewhat outrageous.

Abadan's mind is a little down at the moment.

He really couldn't connect the two wolf guards in front of him with the two noble brothers in Hive Capital No. [-] of Frank.

But Karl in the distance breathed a sigh of relief after seeing these two familiar names.

Because this means—the emperor has already foreseen everything that will happen here.

This somewhat gave him a long-lost sense of security.
