Warhammer 40: Gods Of Mortals

Chapter 214 Rift Characteristics

"We made mistakes from the beginning."

"A serious and fatal error."

Typhons looked at Abaddon as he spoke, obviously laying the blame on Abaddon.

Abaddon's lieutenants were casting hostile glances at Typhus before he could continue.

Abaddon didn't respond, though, still in a trance, haunted by vague memories of the Black Legion Warmaster.

Typhons turned a blind eye to the eyes of Abaddon's lieutenants, and continued: "In fact, we shouldn't trust that wizard of unknown origin. He kept pointing and pointing in the previous years of battle, and let us do this one soon. Let us do that, and sometimes even send our men to die."

"Then what is the result of all this wizard has done?"

"Open a crack, it's that simple."

Typhus' words brought back memories for Abaddon's lieutenants all those years ago.

The wizard was brought before the Warmaster by Huron's men. No one knew what the wizard said, and then the Warmaster accepted the wizard and was willing to carry out every request of the wizard.

Typhus was not Abaddon's subordinate but an ally. He didn't need to listen to Abaddon's arrangement, but Abaddon said that as long as the ceremony was successful, the war would be considered a victory.

"Then what did we do?" Typhus continued, "We rushed to Cadia in a swarm, knowing nothing about the enemy, who used a strange weapon while we were preparing for a fleet battle. Severe damage to our fleet."

As soon as the words fell, the leader of the Red Pirate Fleet also looked at Abaddon, obviously dissatisfied with him.

If you look into it, it is true that everyone rushed to Cadia's side to lead to the current situation.

Facing these accusations, Abaddon did not defend or reprimand, but said a very indifferent sentence: "You can go, take your fleet with you. After you suffered such a huge loss, although you have no benefit Didn't get it but at least you can just walk away."

"..." Typhus fell silent.

From a rational point of view, considering that the plague fleet has already paid heavy losses, it is best not to participate in the next war regardless of whether it goes well.

But if you just give up like this, all the previous losses will be in vain.

Typhus decided to see what Abaddon's next plan was, if he could come up with a reliable strategy, he would continue to fight, otherwise, he would leave immediately.

"Instead of arguing over who should be blamed, we should continue to discuss strategy." Abaddon got up from the throne and walked to the porthole, looking at the fleet outside.

This fleet is no longer a qualified fleet. The frigates are all destroyed, and the remaining cruisers are relatively dilapidated. The condition of the battleships is not bad, but the Spirit of Vengeance is damaged.

Those two Blackstone Fortresses are not in the fleet.

Abaddon thought it likely they hadn't escaped into the warp through the rift.

"You said that the ceremony is useless, but I think it's just the opposite." Abaddon turned to look at Typhus, "If there is no crack, then we are completely lost now, and there is no possibility of turning defeat into victory."

"What good is the rift if it exists?" Typhus asked.

"The rift is our advantage, and we can find ways to expand this advantage." Abaddon lured Typhus to think carefully, "What will happen if we gradually destroy the galaxies near Cadia?"

Typhus thought about it carefully, and suddenly understood what Abaddon's purpose was.

The celestial bodies in the universe will contain the warp, which is why using the warp engine to go to the Mandeville point in the galaxy.

If the galaxies near Cadia were destroyed, the veil between the Material Universe and the Warp would be weakened, and the rifts summoned by the ritual would widen, which would bring many benefits.

For example, the Blackstone Fortress that uses subspace energy will become stronger.

However, although Typhus understood Abaddon's purpose, he could not agree: "It is theoretically possible, but have you ever thought about how we destroy galaxies? We not only need to destroy planets but also destroy stars. We have to use the fastest Do these things at a fast speed, because if it takes too long, we will be teleported out by the Tyrone Navy."

"and also."

"The distance between galaxies is very far. It is very possible that even if we destroy many galaxies, the effect will not cover Cadia."

After raising all the questions, Typhons waited for Abaddon's answer, and at the same time made a decision in his mind, whether he would go or stay would depend on whether Abaddon's answer was reliable.

Abaddon thought for a moment, and said, "The wizard who performed the ceremony once told me one thing."

"Can you stop talking about that bastard?" Typhus's patience was worn out.

Abaddon ignored Typhus and continued: "If the size of the rift summoned by the ceremony is only enough to pass through a few battleships, then there is no need to set up ritual nodes everywhere in the entire Obscure Star Field. The rift can cover a maximum of three hundred light beams in diameter. In the region of [-] years, each missing object in the surrounding galaxies will make the size of the gap larger."

Hearing that Typhons thought of infinite possibilities.

It would be idiotic to expand the scale of the rift to cover three hundred light years, but even if it was only the size of a planet, it would be enough. At that time, demons could be summoned directly in the enemy ship through rituals.

"Why didn't you say so sooner?" Typhus grew increasingly resentful of Abaddon, who was always hiding it.

"If I can predict that the enemy's iron planet will only take a few days to reach Cadia, if I can predict that the two Blackstone Fortresses will not be able to contain the iron planet... I will definitely be fully prepared." Ah Barton said helplessly.

Typhus was silent for a moment, then nodded.

"The most important thing now is whether the Blackstone Fortress can come back. If they can't come back, we will break up immediately." Abaddon finished speaking and looked out the porthole.

Everyone in the bridge is waiting anxiously. After all, whether the Blackstone Fortress can come back determines whether they can turn defeat into victory in the future.

……

I don't know how long it has passed.

Collateral damage to the Vengeful Spirit has been completely contained, and the crew has begun to attempt to repair some minor damage that is not serious.

At this moment, a fluctuation appeared in the space directly in front of the fleet, and then a black building in the shape of an eight-pointed star suddenly appeared, which was the Blackstone Fortress.

The Blackstone Fortress has just passed through the crack and entered the subspace at an extremely fast speed.

Following the Blackstone Fortress into the subspace, there was also a section of light spear. This section of light spear flew across the surface of the fortress, hit the Vengeful Spirit closest to the Blackstone Fortress, and penetrated the two propellers at the rear of the hull.

Abaddon, who was on the bridge, heard the news that the Vengeful Spirit had suffered an indiscriminate disaster, and felt that someone had stabbed his healing heart.

"Contact the garrison in the Blackstone Fortress and ask them to bring the fort over." Abaddon ordered.

An adjutant immediately tried to contact the crew of Blackstone Fortress, but no matter how he called, there was no response.

Abaddon speculated that there might be enemies in the Blackstone Fortress, and he didn't want the only hope of the Blackstone Fortress to be destroyed, so he issued a second order to the adjutant: "I will personally lead a company of people into the Blackstone Fortress."

　Sorry guys, I didn’t go to bed until one o’clock after eating and typing yesterday, and it’s already afternoon when I woke up...
