Chapter 169 Holy Black Frenzy: The Emperor's Champion of the Black Templars (VI)
[In the sixth week, a huge fleet from the Black Templars quickly arrived at the Calixis Sector in the Nebulous Star Region.]
[Thousands of ships of all sizes are stationed in orbit around the hive planet, preparing for a great expedition that is about to take place.]
[Right in front of the Star Language Hall of the Eternal Expedition flagship.]
[You and Marshal Ludo Duss stood there, patiently waiting for the remote response from the Grand Marshal.]
[Soon after, a female astropath wearing a black robe and holding a scepter slowly walked out and came to you.]
["Honorable Emperor Champion and Lord Marshal, the subspace of the entire star region is now surging with undercurrents, which has caused the astropathic communication from the Grand Marshal to be intermittent. Therefore, the Grand Marshal simply expressed one meaning, that the Black Templar will carry out this expedition at all costs to eradicate this treasonous psychic heresy for the Emperor and eliminate the rebellion that is about to happen." The female astropath raised her neck and said slowly. ]
[You narrowed your eyes and took a deep breath.]
[You and Marshal Ludo Duss looked at each other and nodded heavily.]
[With the Marshal's order, the regiment has been equipped with necessary guards. ]
[Nearly 800 Astartes monks quickly began preparations for the battle.]
[Countless monk servitors shuttled between the cabins, providing any assistance to the Astartes monks.]
[You have accepted the repair and adjustment of the fine power armor 'Armor of Faith' by the technical sergeant. ]
[You listened to the prayers and blessings of a team of priests led by the hermit himself.]
[Your power armor is covered with stripes of purity marks.]
[The head of the 'traitor' you obtained earlier has been processed by the think tank director Horadrim and with the help of more think tank brothers, it has been made into a holy object that can defend against some psychic powers. ]
[You chose to place the skull of the 'traitor' with prayers carved on it above the iron halo.]
[You hesitated for a moment and found the technical sergeant again.]
[You have obtained a medium-sized storm shield in the shape of a cross.]
[You took three melta bombs from the opponent and placed them under the power backpack.]
[Then, you left the armory with satisfaction.]
[In the seventh week, an expeditionary fleet with a battle barge and three strike cruisers as the core and dozens of Sword-class frigates as escorts separated from the huge main fleet.]
[Because you didn't get the specific coordinates of the rebellious planet from the psychic illusion before. ]
[You discussed with Marshal Ludo Duss and decided to re-explore every planet covered with ice and snow in the entire star region.]
[Any Imperial Navy that encounters your fleet and launches an attack is an enemy controlled by the "tyrant" and will suffer a devastating blow from the Black Templar.]
[Soon after, the first strange planet covered with ice and snow appeared in front of the fleet's route.]
[Countless ships belonging to the Imperial Navy did not respond to the call communication, and then launched a nearly fatal attack on your fleet. ]
[The next moment, countless laser arrays and plasma macrocannon arrays erupted fiercely from the Black Templar fleet.]
[Just one salvo broke the enemy's void shield and annihilated most of the navy's ships.]
[One after another, assault boats quickly jumped out of the strike cruiser and launched a boarding landing on the remaining naval ships. ]
[As the Emperor's Champion, you didn't even have time to reach the shutdown platform before the fierce battle in the cold void was completely over. ]
[According to the battle brothers' reports on the internal situation, all members of the navy ship were controlled by the out-of-control astropaths and navigators.]
[This seems to be the real reason why the 'tyrant' can remotely control the Imperial Navy. ]
[The think tank director Horadrim believes that any psychic controlled by the "tyrant" will become an amplifier of the other party's terrifying psychic power. ]
[So, in order to prevent the spread of psychics in the regiment. ]
[Marshal Ludo Duss issued an order without hesitation.]
[Three strike cruisers arrived in the vicinity of the planet and launched a brutal and relentless orbital bombardment.]
[Afterwards, a large number of whistling airdrop capsules carrying the Astartes monks of the Black Templars descended upon the scorched earth.]
[As the Emperor's Champion, you are the first to set foot on the planet's surface.]
[You did not find any pillars of light emitting golden light. ]
[It seems that the horrific orbital bombardment has dealt with the heretic psykers who controlled this planet. ]
[Afterwards, the Astartes of the Black Templars cleared the remaining mortal puppets at the fastest speed and quickly recaptured the entire planet.]
[In the eighth week, as the entire expedition fleet continues to advance.]
[About thirteen fallen planets that were occupied by psychics who lost control have been successfully recaptured, and as many as ten psychic puppet heads of the "traitors" have been captured by you one by one.]
[However, the psychic tide caused by the death of the psychic also brought horrific destruction that was close to extinction to the entire planet.]
[You have not yet found a way to eliminate this loss. ]
[At the same time, three other hive planets that were naturally covered in ice and snow suffered orbital strikes from the Black Templars due to the planetary governor's foolish judgment.]
[In the end, it was you, as the Emperor's Champion, who used the excuse of time being short to temporarily stop the next attack of the Chapter.]
[At this moment, the psychic prophecy from the think tank curator Horadrim provides you with the coordinates of the next planet. ]
[It is a marginal planet called Cacodomins, and most of the population on it are from the Star Army's star zone border defense force.]
[You have checked the ancient data and determined that this is the rebellious planet where the 'tyrant' is located.]
[However, just when Marshal Ludo Duss was about to issue the order for the attack. ]
[You raised an objection to the other party. ]
[After the death of an ordinary heretic psychic "traitor", a psychic tide will erupt that sweeps across the entire planet. ]
[If the more powerful 'tyrant' dies, the terrifying psychic energy that will erupt from him will probably sweep across the entire star region, destroying countless planets and the empire's shipping lanes.]
[Even if the Black Templars are not afraid of sacrifice, they still need to consider the huge losses that the Empire will suffer. ]
[Marshal Ludo Dus frowned and fell silent.]
[You also stood aside, racking your brains to think of a countermeasure. ]
[At this moment, the think tank director Horadrim suddenly proposed an immature idea to you. ]
[The psychic headbands that think tanks usually use to amplify psychic energy may be used in reverse to form an anti-psychic energy suppression device. ]
[According to the ancient knowledge he possessed, when enough anti-psychic energy suppression devices existed in one place at the same time.]
[The surrounding environment may create a psychic vacuum zone, temporarily blocking the influence of psychic power. ]
[Of course, as for success or failure, the think tank director Horadrim cannot guarantee it. ]
[You and Marshal Ludo Duss subconsciously exchanged glances.]
[You decided to let the think tank brothers give it a try. ]
[At this point, the Black Templar think tank brothers will contribute their own strength to this expedition. ]
