Ghoul Star Region, Salvakar Star Cluster.
In the cold and boundless void of the universe, ancient stars are emitting a dim light filled with deadly radiation.
Since this place is close to the real dark outer realm, it lacks the light of Terra's Astronomican all year round.
Even the nearest human colony is thousands of light years away.
And as the great rift opens and spreads.
Today, the Salvakar Cluster has in fact become a taboo area where no one cares.
Even the Carcharodon Regiment, which has been patrolling back and forth in the Ghoul Star Region for a long time, rarely sets foot here.
But now, a subspace entrance opened silently in the cold void.
A Tyrant-class cruiser, the 'White Mouth', slowly sailed out of the mysterious and bizarre subspace.
Wait until the most important Geller force field is slowly shut down.
The huge metal ship continued to sail on a silent and cold void route.
At this moment, inside the bridge of the Tyrant-class cruiser.
The mortal crew members and servitors with solemn expressions were testing and operating various equipment.
Not far away, Rorschach, wearing light gold power armor, and the think tank chief Kahulangi were having a conversation.
"Master Primarch, we have arrived at the area where the distress signal came from. This place is called the Salvakar Cluster, and it is also one of the edges of the Ghoul Star Region closest to the Dark Outer Region."
Think Tank Chief Kahulangi said solemnly to Rorschach beside him:
"If we talk about the most famous thing here, it is probably the alien race called the Sethroth. Although we, the Carcharodon, have only fought a few small-scale encounters with these aliens, judging from the casualties, they are also a very difficult alien race."
And heard the words of the think tank director.
Rorschach raised his eyebrows slightly and said without thinking:
"Have you never tried to wipe out the aliens completely? There is no Inquisition watching here, and there are no human colonies. Wouldn't it be better to just find the aliens' home planet and execute the extermination order?"
"Haha, Master Primarch, this is the real problem. According to the ancient data we accidentally learned a long time ago, no Astartes regiment has been able to successfully destroy the home planet of the Sethomo, because it is a huge gaseous planet, and this alien is quite cunning and mysterious. Once the fleet approaches their home planet, all the aliens will disappear."
However, at this moment, just when Rorschach was about to continue chatting with the head of the think tank.
A report from the captain of the Tyrant-class cruiser temporarily interrupted their conversation.
"Respected Primarch, Master of the Think Tank, our ship-borne auspicious instrument has successfully scanned an Astartes fleet that is stationed in the void route. Judging from the configuration of the other party's ships, it seems to be a very standard expeditionary fleet."
"We have currently found a strike cruiser, several frigates and supply transport ships, but no calls on any communication channel have been responded to."
The middle-aged-looking cruiser captain stood straight in front of Rorschach and others, reporting his work in simple and effective words.
After Rorschach nodded slowly, the other party with a solemn expression immediately turned back to the front of the bridge to continue his work.
"Kahurangi, what do you think about this? Or, how should we carry out the rescue?"
Rorschach, with no expression on his face, turned his eyes slightly.
He stared at the think tank chief Kahulangi beside him and asked in a deep voice.
However, think tank director Kahulangi did not answer immediately, but talked about other things.
"My Lord Primarch, please allow me to talk about something else first."
"According to our Sharknado Chapter's survival experience, if an ordinary Astartes expeditionary force does not have the cautious mentality and strong strength gained from being in the Ghoul Star Region for a long time, it would be a simple suicide."
"Although we don't know their true identities and origins yet, in my opinion, the chances of them surviving are not high."
"Moreover, similar situations have occurred even within the Carcharodon Regiment. A Carcharodon team that was out collecting supplies accidentally sent back a distress signal. However, when our fleet arrived there, we only found a lonely ship docked in the void."
"What's even more shocking is that there are no signs of battle or blood inside the ship, but countless mortal crew members and Astartes disappeared out of thin air, and we still haven't found a reasonable explanation."
At this moment, the think tank director Kahurangi, who was speaking slowly, paused for a moment.
He suddenly opened his sharp-toothed mouth and continued to speak to Rorschach beside him:
"Of course, we must also explore this expeditionary fleet. After all, if the members of the other regiment are unfortunately missing, then a strike cruiser would be a great gain for free."
As soon as the words fell.
Rorschach took a deep breath and nodded slightly.
With a solemn expression, he lowered his head and thought for a moment.
He immediately turned around in his power armor and said to a Weeper standing at the back of the bridge,
"Go and inform the battle brothers of the Terminator Guard to get ready. I want to lead the team up to take a look."
Afterwards, Rorschach, who had made up his mind, rejected the persuasion of think tank chief Kahulangi.
He drove the power armor and walked out of the bridge.
In
fact, Rorschach didn't think that there would be a huge danger in a strike cruiser that sent out a distress signal that even he, the Primarch, couldn't handle.
Judging from his combat experience.
This expeditionary fleet of unknown origin was either invaded by some alien creature inside the ship, causing chaos that was difficult to deal with.
Or they might have been raided by a passing Chaos wargang.
However, judging from the signs around the ship, the possibility of being ambushed by a Chaos warband was very low.
About an empty hour later.
On the deck of the cruiser.
Rorschach, holding the Blood Scythe in his hand and the Dawnbringer Hammer on his back, led a Terminator Guard consisting of 25 Weepers and slowly entered several Thunderhawk transport planes.
Buzz buzz buzz——
Then, with the violent roar of the vector engine.
A flying formation consisting of several Thunder Eagle transport planes gradually entered the cold void and quickly launched an exploration operation towards the lifeless expeditionary fleet in the cold void.
At the same time, the chief think tank Kahulangi, who was inside the Tyrant-class cruiser, also ordered the entire company of Man-eating Sharks to prepare for battle.
Once the Primarch enters an unknown ship and unexpectedly encounters some dangerous situation.
They will not hesitate to launch a boarding operation to carry out a rescue mission for the Primarch.
Thank you for your support!
