Shortly after.
The carrier-based aircraft escorted the large transport boat away from Srilan, and the transport boat also used a stance emitting blue light to forcibly take the giant piranha-like Asastiya out of the dark square and return together. Into the Moonlight Goddess-class hull.
Since then, an old ruler has been completely reduced to an anomaly used by humans for research and study, and it is very likely that blood and tissue will be extracted for analysis.
Moreover, during this period, Leon, Lin Hong and others also completed their infiltration operations and immediately returned to the Griffin, where they joined three other Stealth-class ships belonging to the Gray Knights and the Moon Goddess-class ship parked in a slightly farther orbit.
It is worth mentioning that Lum has also joined the team of Lyon and others. After all, for this retired UNSC major general, nothing is more challenging than finding a original body.
As for the survivors of the expedition, including Zoya, many elite mercenaries chose to accept employment from Lyon. After all, as long as they could get money, it would be the same wherever they went.
As for Zoya and most of the gang members, even if they were able to resist the erosion of Asastiere, which showed their strong personal willpower, Leon finally decided to erase the memory of these people.
The main reason is that people like Zoya are biased against the empire. On the one hand, they don't like to accept official rule and command. More importantly, they are not as straightforward as elite mercenaries.
Therefore, after confirming that Asastye had withdrawn the thought erosion and corruption of Srilan, Lyon left Zoya and others in the camp after completing the memory erasure and modification.
at this time.
The size of the task force has already exceeded what Lyon first established a year ago.
Immediately afterwards, the Moon Goddess class once again created a wormhole with a diameter of forty kilometers, allowing the Griffin and the three Stealth class ships to pass through first.
And when the Moonlight Goddess passed through as the "tail", the wormhole suddenly collapsed inward and disappeared in the blink of an eye. And the residents of Srilan still don't know what happened deep in the desert and in low-Earth orbit. .
Presumably, even if Asastiya has left, there will no longer be a bloody red light lighting up the sky at night, and it will not stop the expedition team who are deeply bewitched by rumors and are still preparing to go deep into the desert, dreaming of becoming famous overnight and making huge profits overnight.
And the other side of the wormhole.
The task force has arrived at a new cosmic domain, and when observing the stars far away from light years from here, it seems to feel a little bleak. It may be affected by different nebulae, or it may be that this cosmic domain still remains. Something unnoticeably weird.
After all, this place was once within the scope of the Pious Sector. Before the human expeditionary force of the main universe set foot here and the cross-phase pulse wave was released by the large device 001, this place was no less than the Eye of Terror and was deeply contaminated by Chaos. One of the "disaster areas".
Moreover, because Lorgar Aurelion often made the Word Bearers Legion "carnival" and "sacrifice", most of the planets had autonomous consciousness and became demonic planets.
Although the cross-phase pulse wave has wiped away all life, both the Chaos believers and the Word Bearers have disappeared, but nearly half a century later, this space and star region are still forbidden areas.
The former UEG and now the Human Empire have made it clear that unofficial private organizations, companies, as well as individual pioneers and mercenaries are not allowed to enter this space that has a diameter that exceeds thousands of light years.
Because according to the empire's vision, when the vaccine is completely universal, and the descendants of the Zero Three humans have acquired a considerable degree of resistance to immunity whispers, corruption, etc., even if they have not been vaccinated, the Zero Three Galaxy will also be completely immune to the influence of the alien space.
Just like the Milky Way in the main universe, it is dark and shrouded in fog to other spaces. Evil God E cannot directly see what is going on inside the galaxy, nor can he directly step into it.
Looking back at the current Zero-Three Galaxy, only Holy Terra, the dark star sector once controlled and responsible by Conrad Coze, and the similar star field where Srilan is located have just begun to generate fog and block the alien space. of spying.
In other words, in the eyes of evil gods and demons, Galaxy Zero-3 is like a parchment full of holes (vaccine effect).
When the hole continued to expand and eventually swallowed up the entire parchment, they would completely lose sight of the Zero Three Galaxy.
This is why the Human Empire officially prohibits organizations and personnel other than the empire from setting foot in this once pious star zone, which is now a profane star zone.
now.
The task force still maintains a hidden state, adopting routine navigation that is not high-profile or "ostentatious" to avoid attracting unnecessary attention.
As for the wormholes created by the wormhole engine, according to the description of the administrator's storage body, unless it is a ship with the same technology, there is a certain probability that traces of the opening and closing of the wormhole will be found.
As for the Moon Goddess class, which was on a regular voyage, its destination soon appeared within the visual field of view...
It is a planet with an extremely harsh surface environment, without any green vegetation, a desolate planet, and even the ocean has become turbid—
Sanosche.
However, there are many ruins of cities and temples on the surface of Sanosche, and some are very large worship temples that occupy a sixth or a fifth of the continent. Even in space tens of thousands of kilometers away, Can see its appearance clearly.
Although the styles of these cities and temples are extremely blasphemous and were built by Chaos believers to serve the evil god, without any living beings to worship or sacrifice, these buildings have lost any trace of spiritual power.
soon.
The Moon Goddess, the Griffin and a group of stealth classes arrived in orbit about 6,000 kilometers away from the surface of Sanoschi.
Then, while dispersing, the task force released matrix nodes (diamond-shaped metal pillars) of various specifications, and completed the initial encirclement of Sanosche, ensuring that nothing could enter or exit. Preliminary scan.
Before completing the scan, the task force will not rashly land on the surface of Sanosche, because this is not like Srilan and is within the scope of the vaccine effect, so it needs to be extremely vigilant.
If the scanning equipment can lock the fire dragon lord Wokan at the first time, then a lot of trouble will be saved. If not, Lyon will send a reconnaissance team to land.
Anyway, there are no humans living in Sanosche, so there is no need to worry about affecting the local order.
What's more, before the scan results come out, it is impossible for the plague doctor to spare time to accompany them to the surface, because at this time, the plague doctor is busy with the sample collection process...
———————
The interior of the Luna-class ship.
The belly position of the ship.
A cell specially used by the Imperial Guard to imprison large creatures and aliens, and equipped with a higher-level binding position generator...
"First of all, hello, doctor, let me introduce myself. I am Asasteye Brak Kostila. Well...can you put down the bone saw first?"
I saw that Asasteye was still trapped in the confinement position suspected to be created by the ancient saint, and she was shrinking all the tentacles and "petals" as much as possible, trying to communicate with the "doctor" who was a hundred times smaller than it.
Let’s take a look around this cell first…
It is not so much a prison cell as a "port of call" inside the ship. It is one thousand meters long, wide and high, enough to accommodate four Paris-class heavy frigates.
Asastye, located in the center, occupies the most space, and there are several imperial guards on the surrounding corridors and platforms, as well as about a hundred Sun Auxiliary Army.
In fact, the Forbidden Army is similar in size and nature to the legion. It has its own fleet and auxiliary army, but the auxiliary army is named after the solar system.
Although there is no actual combat precedent, netizens will always analyze based on various aspects and believe that the Sun Auxiliary Army, which has the most sophisticated weapons and equipment among "mortals" and has extremely rich combat experience, under certain specific circumstances, A squad of three can defeat a Legion Astartes.
Therefore, on this trip, Constantine stated that he "only" led more than a hundred Forbidden Army brothers, but the actual situation was that there were nearly 10,000 Sun Auxiliary Army accompanying him.
If all types of personnel are included, the Moonlight Goddess accommodates more than 40,000 people.
However, this "little" number of people is really a bit empty for a super battleship with a length of 35 kilometers.
This made it easier for everyone to stuff the bloated and huge Asastye into this cell, and the "doctor" who made this unusual and extremely fearful person always wore a black hooded robe and a bird's beak on his head. The masked plague doctor.
Moreover, the Imperial Guards also carefully moved metal tables, metal chairs and experimental benches and placed them at the front of the deck on the bottom floor of the cell, so that the plague doctor could have a place to place them after taking various tools from his small satchel. The place.
Afterwards, the plague doctor took out his favorite bone saw and strode towards Asastiere.
Even though there is a huge difference in body size, the aura exuded by the plague doctor, especially the words he excitedly said "Ah~! Stay still, please cooperate...Tsk tsk!" while walking, made everyone in the cell move. All shuddered.
You know, Doctor Plague finally found a good material that he had never seen before. It was already very good that he could restrain himself from jumping over it all at once.
And just looking at the plague doctor's appearance, it seems that Asastier is more "normal".
in a blink.
The Plague Doctor had already come to the edge of the confinement position. After observing for a while, he said to himself: "Hmm... interesting. Mr. Sui didn't help lift it immediately. Is it supposed to... have some other purpose, or is he testing me?"
In fact, Sui Bian had no intention. It was just because there were some changes in the expeditionary force. The emperor, who was worried about the safety of his heirs, immediately ended the psychic examination of Asasthiya.
Moreover, Sui Bian did not think that the confinement stance was such a difficult defense to remove.
After thinking for a while.
The plague doctor shrugged and didn't dwell on anything else. He immediately raised his favorite bone saw and swung it down, easily making a small gap, allowing him to enter the position unimpeded.
“…”
Seeing the scene in front of him, Asastiya was no longer surprised, and did not want to say any more words that meant making noise. At the same time, it judged itself based on the memory fragments it obtained. It discovered that it was already the "sister" of this group of humans. mascot".
at this time.
The plague doctor has stretched out his left hand and placed it on the outer wall of Asastye's vaginal tissue at the edge.
Then, the catatonic state spread rapidly at the touch point. Almost instantly, Asastiya felt that it had lost control of its body, and then watched helplessly as the plague doctor used a bone saw to cut off its vagina...
The pain is inevitable, but it is numb.
In order to live, don't shiver, just lose the dignity of an old ruler, and accept some physical and mental pain, so what's the harm? ?
Seeing that the "patient" was so aware made the plague doctor more comfortable and relaxed, so he speeded up the steps of extracting samples.
After all, as long as he doesn't look for trouble, causes trouble and is willing to cooperate, the plague doctor is still very talkative.
———————
Nearly half an hour later.
The plague doctor finally extracted all the samples, and the task force also completed the scan.
At the Moon Goddess level, tens of thousands of combat personnel gathered in the hangar numbered "Zero One", including Leon, the direct commander of this task force, Constantine, the commander of the Forbidden Army, and a Gray Knight veteran. There is also the Red Queen standing in front of everyone in the form of holographic imaging.
Due to the direct intervention of the Custodes and the missing Primarch, the Red Queen also spared some energy to provide help with comprehensive analysis.
By this moment, the nature of the task force had undergone earth-shaking changes, which made Leon, who was also standing in front of everyone, have to sigh secretly.
The Red Queen didn't care about what the Minister of Imperial Intelligence was thinking, and it was impossible to imagine it. She directly controlled the holographic device to generate a three-dimensional diagram of Sanosche above everyone, and marked different areas with different colors, and said:
"Everyone, based on the current scanned results, we can know that there are a large number of man-made structures on the surface, underground, and even deep underground in Sanosche.
Moreover, I also detected that the man-made tunnels under the surface are filled with a large number of subtle psychic reactions. If we had not arrived here at close range, we would not have noticed this at all, and distinguished this kind of psychic reactions from those in space. Differences in radiation.
From this, we can basically conclude that beneath the surface of Sanosche, or close to the center of the earth, there is a certain probability that the missing original body that His Majesty cares about, the Lord of the Fire Dragon, Volcan. "
Having said this, the Red Queen turned her eyes to Lyon.
Leon, who received the signal, stepped forward slightly, took over the words, and ordered: "You have all heard the lady's speech, and I will also upload your respective target locations and mission details to your power armor...
so! Boys, it's time to find the last missing Primarch for the Emperor and the Imperium! "
"For the Emperor!"
"For the Empire!"
As Leon's words fell, a war cry instantly echoed throughout the hangar.
Next.
Combatants including Leon, Sergeant Major, Lin Hong, Lum and others, as well as the Sun Auxiliary Army, quickly boarded transport planes and transport boats to prepare for their respective exploration locations.
As for Constantine and more than a hundred forbidden troops, they directly opened the short-distance teleportation device and reached the surface of Sanosche in just the blink of an eye.
Constantine and the six brothers came to the equatorial area on the sunny side.
This is a temple connected to the underground network, and... seems to be dedicated to Slaanesh.
