Chapter 479: Black Legion Arms Race
"Father, father!"
Caroline woke up suddenly, and while gasping for breath, he found himself tied above the seat.
The soul next to him was sleeping soundly at the moment. Looking at his intoxicated look, it seemed as if he had not had a good night's sleep for several years.
"Hey Hey hey!"
'Wake up!'
A star message was sent out, and Lin Heng in the chair trembled, opened his slightly confused eyes, and blinked twice.
Seeing that he had not reached his destination yet, he sat down in a chair, closed his eyes and fell asleep again.
"Hey, where are we now? Where are my father and the others?"
"died."
Lin Heng grumbled, adjusted his position in the chair, and curled up his butt towards the other person.
Caroline was stunned for a moment, and was about to pick him up, but the chains on her body were quite strong, so he could only use his psychic power to try to melt them.
Lin Heng waved his hand, and the iron chain eye wrapped around it disappeared instantly.
Although Caroline was very surprised by this form of psychic power, she wanted to know more about her father at the moment.
But before she could open her mouth, the audio channel sounded a reminder that she was about to leave the webway, and Caroline had no choice but to sit back in her chair.
"Buzz, buzz, buzz."
The light curtain opened, and the transport ship fell into the lightless deep space. The planets in the distance bloomed with a charming glow.
But before Caroline could be happy, Lin Heng suddenly jumped up from his chair, staring at a dark empty area with wide eyes, and then immediately pressed his hands on the deck, gushing with psychic power.
"Hold your breath and concentrate, concealing your own spiritual energy mark!"
Lin Heng shouted, and Caroline immediately did as he said, because she also felt the coming chaos.
In the deep dark space, distorted power is emerging in the real space, and the chaotic evil energy is alienating the peaceful veil.
A silent but beautiful storm bloomed in the darkness, and the exit to the warp expanded.
The huge portal was like a vast galaxy, and its earth-shaking energy washed over every corner of the real space.
The transport ship located in the path of the torrent was directly affected by the aftermath, and the stable hull immediately began to spin in the sea of stars like a stone skipping on the water.
The ship's engine stopped immediately and the entire circuit system was completely overloaded, with crackling circuits and sharp alarms.
Caroline, who was thrown against the wall, also used her psychic power to wrap the transport ship along Lin Heng's mark.
The two of them were like companions who had gone through thousands of drills. Without any communication, they merged together and wrapped the hull together to block the scouring of the storm.
The spokesperson of the subspace released the boundless aura and led his warriors to gain control of the area.
The huge ship passed through the light gate, and the huge Eye of Horus on the side informed the two of their identities.
The powerful Glory-class Queen's Battleship showed its might, and the hundreds of escort ships that came out in a line conveyed its dominance. The model of the Spirit of Vengeance in the Gothic Fleet Lin Heng twisted the world to set things right, and took great pains to control the rotating ship, and then used his power again to spray out the ultimate fireworks at the engine.
"Damn it, I can't hide it anymore, use whatever method I have!"
Hearing this, Caroline quickly suppressed the dizziness and stepped forward to bite Lin Heng's shoulder, but the other person's skin was incredibly tough, and after two bites, it hurt her teeth.
"Hey! Lend me some blood so I can perform the soul union technique."
Lin Heng wanted to say that this was not necessary, but in order to avoid subsequent troubles, he bit the back of his hand and handed it to the other party.
Caroline pursed her lips, raised her palm and sucked it hard, and a large mouthful of blood containing spiritual energy was swallowed into her stomach.
She was seen kneeling on the ground and digesting Lin Heng's blood. As the blood-red mist rose, her body temperature also rose rapidly.
A flash of red light shone through his chest, and then Caroline quickly bit off her finger and splattered the blood on the deck of the ship.
As the Eldar runes were written, Caroline gradually merged with the ship and gained further contact with its psychic energy.
Lin Heng's energy wrapped around the outside of the ship, while Caroline spread out along with his spiritual energy, like two streams of water merging and then separating.
Until the opponent's spiritual energy is wrapped and a thin film is formed on the outside.
She glanced at Lin Heng twice, not understanding why the fusion of her spiritual energy with his was so smooth...
Lin Heng can sense Caroline's situation through the primary and secondary connections of the soul, but the other party cannot know Lin Heng's thoughts in return.
He already knew that Caroline had become suspicious of how smoothly she had merged her psychic power with his. It seemed that Alpha-level psychics observed psychic powers too closely.
If I use this method to sneak into other people's minds or souls in the future, if the other party is a powerful wizard or psychic.
Then everything might be exposed, or even taken advantage of by the other party.
"Buzz!"
The transport ship trembled and flew out, and about thirty seconds later, it trembled violently again.
With this vibration, the speed of the ship will suddenly accelerate, and it will bounce quickly in the asteroid belt like a skipping stone on water.
And every time it came into contact with the surface of the subspace torrent, the compressed film would expand and explode under Caroline's control.
Between repeated accelerations and explosions, Caroline used the torrent of the subspace to play "water skipping".
She controlled the stability between Lin Heng's energy that wrapped around the ship and the subspace torrent, and used catapults to quickly approach in the torrent.
This is much more economical than simple energy output. Of course, not everyone is as flexible as Lin Heng in output methods.
As an Alpha-level Eldar psyker, the gifts that come with a price are far greater than those of humans.
At this time, Caroline felt that she had turned the game around. She thought that Lin Heng was not omnipotent. He still had a lot of experience to learn, and she was not inferior to him.
"Great, keep going."
...
“Sir, the wizard group has discovered traces of Lin Heng’s psychic energy, and your judgment of the prophecy is very accurate.
As expected, Ngur set up a defense line at the entrance of the webway, and sent the enemy back to the Dark Strait on ships ahead of time."
The Lord of Deception, who was wearing dark blue armor and was the chief think tank of the Black Legion, stepped forward and said. Abaddon did not show too much joy when he heard the news. After all, everything should be as he expected, so there was nothing to be excited about.
"Send a strike fleet to hunt them down. Prepare the fleet for a two-way battle. This Ngur has been entrenched here for a thousand years. The defense level of this planet is no less than any fortress world."
Abaddon was cautious and not impatient. He stood behind the floor-to-ceiling viewing window, looking at the flickering planet in the distance and muttered to himself:
“Every action is a victory.”
...
"What's going on, Master Dreamer? What's the situation with those ships?"
When the transport ship landed on the largest celestial body in the asteroid belt, officials above immediately ran up to inquire about the situation.
They were naturally able to notice the chaos in the subspace just now, but they did not expect that the fleet coming behind them was so huge.
As Caroline and the other person were on their way, she sent an astropathic message to inform the monitoring station to be prepared to welcome the enemy, and also sent a signal to inform the ground in the strait to prepare to meet the enemy.
Now, she signaled the stationmaster to activate the celestial defense array, mobilize as many asteroids as possible to fill the gaps between the planets, and slow down the Black Legion ships.
Although the prince's order was needed to mobilize the first and most critical layer of defense, this sentence from the Black Legion made the stationmaster realize the seriousness of the problem.
On the ground, news has been received from the Prince's Palace that the Acting Consul has convened a pirate conference and is having a heated discussion with the pirate captains in the strait.
"Mr. Dreamer, allow me to interject, where is the Prince now?"
"His Excellency the Prince is still in the Somnium Scourge Belt, leading the Sea of Light Fleet to fight against the pursuit of the Chaos Warband.
As long as the scattered ships are assembled, they can return to the strait with the main force through the webway."
It may take two days or two weeks. The only thing that is certain now is that the Strait needs to be self-reliant.
The acting consul frowned, he found it difficult to convince the people. Even the Void Dreamer Caroline could not command these captains who would only steal for profit.
The assembly was now in a frenzy of noise, as they had always enjoyed facing attacks from other Chaos warbands, Ork pirates, and Imperial warships in the past.
But today, after the name of the Black Legion was announced at the round table, the pirate captains who wanted to take the lead were reluctant and wanted to go to the flank to provide cover.
In the past, when Ngur was here, he could always find a way to suppress these guys who were unwilling to do anything without profit.
But now, after all, it is the famous Black Legion. Even if Engul is really here, it is difficult to ease the fear in these people's hearts.
Pirates are pirates, bullying the weak and fearing the strong is their survival instinct.
“Delay as long as possible. The station chief is one of ours. I have asked him to activate the celestial defense array to slow down the fleet.
Prepare the deadpools supplied by their father, send them to the array, and drive single-man assault boats to launch suicide boarding attacks.
Damn it... I really need them now." Caroline's brow darkened, knowing that she was also very wrong.
"I'll use the monitoring station's webway right away, and I'll talk to those greedy guys when I get there."
But now is not the time to reflect on herself, she must complete as much preparation as possible within the limited time.
This is the career that my father has devoted his entire life to, and this is also the harbor that my mother has wanted to build throughout her life.
Caroline thought so while holding her mother's soul stone.
There was no soul residing in the crystal soul stone. The empty crystal was just like her empty heart.
If the strait is destroyed and her father does not return, the only thing she can see to remind her of him is this planet, which she has hated for hundreds of years.
After a few moments of silence, Caroline, who had landed on the web, turned around and said:
"Father never listened to me on your issue..."
She clenched her teeth and took a deep breath to balance herself.
"You are a disaster. Wherever you go, you will cause a long war. The best outcome is for you to be captured by the Black Legion."
Caroline said this hatefully, and her eyes seemed to be wondering whether she really wanted to do this.
But Lin Heng knew that she was just speaking in anger. After all, whether or not she could do it was one thing, but the most important thing was...
"This is not in line with your mother's pursuit."
Caroline was stunned for a moment, and then Lin Heng continued:
"Besides, you don't want to become like your father. Your predictions were not wrong, and your judgment was completely correct.
You are just afraid of losing your precious family again, and you just want to protect yourself in this turbulent galaxy.
But you are wrong, Caroline. You have misjudged your father, and you have misjudged the galaxy.
Your father is the one who sees through the true nature of this galaxy, which is that the flames of war will always burn."
The two just stared at each other, their emotions rising and falling, until the butler of the Prince's Palace who had just arrived tried to break the deadlock. Caroline opened her mouth to convey the words.
Lin Heng turned around and left, leaving only what the other party was about to say.
"I'll leave."
Caroline opened her mouth slightly, feeling unhappy that her thoughts were guessed by others. Why did he act so pretentiously? Was it because he had a lot of experience?
"Dreamer..."
But having a lot of experience doesn’t mean that what you express is correct. Although what the other person said is indeed quite right, she just feels unhappy!
"Dreamer..."
"Got it, take me to the meeting hall."
Caroline blamed all of this on Lin Heng. Before he came, she had never had such a turbulent mentality. This was not a situation that a void dreamer walking in the subspace should have.
Although her current condition was quite bad, she was very weak both mentally and physically, but she had to shoulder the burden at this moment, after all, her mother was in the same situation at that time.
Caroline pushed the door open and walked in. A dozen pirate captains were engaged in a verbal battle. When they saw that the person who came in was not Prince Engul, they paused for a moment and then immediately started cursing at each other.
"Last time, you said I was stealing the credit. Fine, this time I'll let you take the credit. I'll just take a little loss and get some benefits." A young pirate captain put his legs on the table and said with disdain.
Seeing this, another strong captain was so angry that he slammed the table and started swearing.
"Damn it, you, a bastard born of slavery, are not even worthy of sitting next to a noble, and you still have the nerve to ask for some soup.
If you don't dare to leave the Strait as soon as possible! Anyway, I, the Pirate Marquis, swear to live and die with the Strait, and I will take the lead without you saying anything."
Since both the positive and negative sides have appeared, the peacemaker in the middle cannot be absent, so another man who looks older stood up to appease them.
"Don't get excited. With the current armaments in the Strait, it will take the Black Legion years to take us down.
Besides, His Excellency the Prince must have a countermeasure, otherwise he would not have sent his men ahead, right, His Excellency the Dreamer?"
Those who were speaking and those who were silent all focused their eyes on Caroline, and those looks seemed to want to devour her alive.
"Thank you for your statement, Your Excellency, now..."
"You're welcome. This is what a subordinate should do. Mr. Dreamer, since you represent the prince, everything will be easy to discuss.
But after all, we are facing the Black Legion. As the main attack, I need as much material reserves as possible. The two Aurora-class light cruisers parked in the starport must be incorporated into my fleet..." About 3.4km long, about 0.4km wide, mass: 1800 million tons "It doesn't matter, Mr. Dreamer, how can the Black Legion's ships be as maneuverable as our ships? I only need million metric tons of missile reserves, and I don't want a gram more."
"Our boarding team is the strongest. We have good soldiers and good guns. If we can get more..."
No one cares whether Ngur is dead or not. What they want now is a valuable promise.
Caroline held back her grief. She could only rely on herself now, and besides...the strait needed their ships.
