Chapter 110: 209
However, the priests of the Order of the Holy Mechanicus also smuggled a large amount of contraband among the transported goods.
For example, the crystal towers from the Protoss, the hatched tunnel worms, and a large number of worker bees.
With the Guards guaranteeing the priests of the order, the Cadians did not even examine the goods brought in by the Holy Mechanical Order.
The God-Emperor in the Warp also sensed the unusual movements from the Four Gods. They were investing a large amount of power to converge on Cadia.
The entire subspace was in turmoil, and even Gao Yi's Xel'Naga projection could sense the unrest in the subspace.
This made Gao Yi realize that the ground war in Cadia would be even more brutal. When necessary, he would not bother to hide and planned to directly deploy these non-human ground forces into Cadia for defense.
And Gao Yi's indirect assistance to Cardia is not limited to this.
At this time, the Imperial Fist Phalanx, which was originally stationed on Terra, was sailing in the warp.
They had recently repelled a direct attack on Terra by the Daemon Prince Be'lakor and the traitorous Iron Warriors.
With the help of the Emperor's Cursed Legion, the Imperial Fists exiled the ambitious Daemon Prince.
However, the Imperial Fists' Third Company also suffered heavy losses, and the entire Phalanx suffered serious damage, with even one-tenth of the hull destroyed.
The damage to the battleship left a gap in Geller's position, and all the Astartes of the Imperial Fists' 3rd Company on the Phalanx were urgently repairing the huge battleship.
Captain Galadon of the Third Company was in the central hall of the Phalanx.
He listened to the reports of the members of the Chapter and coordinated the existing resources to repair the Chapter's holy relic as much as possible.
But the restoration work did not go smoothly.
The losses of the Third Company were too severe, and a ship as large as the Phalanx would take at least several years to repair even if it were to travel to Mars.
All he could do was repair the basic functions of the Phalanx, maintain its navigation in the subspace and ensure that it could continue to fight.
The surging waves of the Warp hit the Geller position of the mountain array.
Even now, subspace energy seeps into the Phalanx from time to time.
Apart from him, in the hall of the Phalanx, the Astartes of the Cursed Legion were standing silently, their bodies burning with the flames of vengeance.
They were simply assisting the Imperial Fists in defending the now vulnerable Phalanx.
Warriors of the Legion of the Damned and Astartes of the Imperial Fists rushed to clear the Chaos pollution everywhere in the Phalanx.
The flames made of psychic energy on their bodies crackled.
The only sounds that could be heard in the entire hall were Captain Galadon's voice and the sound of the sparks.
Galadon had heard of the legends of these cursed legions, and he had also read many of the Imperial Inquisition's investigative reports on them.
But any investigation into the Cursed Legion often comes to an abrupt end.
No one knows what these warriors from the warp are like.
However, many believe that these Bound Legions are manifestations of the Emperor's divinity, and are those Astartes who were loyal to the Emperor and returned to the Golden Throne after their deaths in battle.
Finally, with the help of the Emperor, he continued to protect humanity and fight for the Empire for endless years.
This was also the first time that Galadon saw these legendary warriors. He witnessed the powerful combat capability of these cursed legions in fighting against the demons. Without their arrival, the Phalanx might have been completely destroyed.
At this time, Galadon firmly believed that this was the Emperor's guidance to them, and it was the Legion of the Damned that made them determined to go to Cadia.
When Galadon looked up again, a sergeant from the Cursed Legion was already walking towards him.
He looked up at the other party. These cursed legions had not spoken a single word to him since their arrival, as if they had no language ability at all.
At this moment, the sergeant of the Cursed Legion who was watching him actually used his flaming hands to burn a piece of High Gothic language on the deck on the ground.
"Go to Agrippina's Loris? You want us to jump out of the warp now? But given the fragile Geller position of the Phalanx, once we return to the real universe, I can't guarantee that the Phalanx can enter the warp again? Why should we do this?
Wouldn't that mean we won't be able to reach Cadia?"
Galadon was puzzled by the sudden suggestion made by the Cursed Legion. Didn't they signal me to go directly to Cadia before? Why are they asking us to return to the real universe now?
In response to Galadon's questioning, the Cursed Legion still pointed at the burn marks.
After some hesitation, Galadon finally chose to believe the hint of the Cursed Legion.
"Navigator! How long will it take to reach the Lorisa system in the Agrippina sector?"
"We feel it... I feel the dazzling light of the Emperor's Astronomical Torch. The great God-Emperor seems to be guiding us. It will only take three hours for us to jump out of the warp and directly reach the galaxy you pointed to."
"To Agrippina! And jump out of the warp!"
"Are you sure you want to do this?"
"Navigator, execute the order!"
"As you wish, Captain Galadon! May the Emperor bless us..."
At this time in the Lorisa galaxy, the Star Pioneer and a large number of priests and engineering troops of the Holy Mechanic Order were waiting.
Following the crew's report, Gao Yi knew that the Shanzhen was about to arrive.
A violent subspace reaction was displayed on the instrument, and a large subspace rift suddenly appeared. When Gao Yi saw the Mountain Array with his own eyes, he thought he had seen another Eldar ark.
Its size is even larger than the Korol Ark that Gao Yi once conquered. The entire Mountain Array is like a planet.
"The Imperial Fists are really bold. It's amazing that they only left one company in such a large star fortress."
Gao Yi still remembers some outrageous descriptions of the Shanzhen. He even found that there was its own ecosystem on it, and some creatures could even find a complete evolutionary history.
When the entire Phalanx jumped out of the warp, Galadon immediately discovered the fleet belonging to Gao Yi not far away.
It seemed as if the other party had been waiting for them here for a long time, and the cursed sergeant also nodded to Galadon, indicating that he should make contact with Gao Yi's fleet.
The Star Pioneer, which was identified as an Imperial battleship, approached the Phalanx. Even with its size, it could dock directly on the dock deck of the Phalanx.
Galadon brought his company's soldiers to the deck. When he saw Gao Yi walking down the Pioneer accompanied by the Imperial Guards, he was immediately surprised.
The Imperial Fists stationed on Terra know these Custodes better than anyone else.
At least he had never heard of these imperial guards leaving the palace.
"Captain Galadon, I am Gao Yi Mengte, a Rogue Trader of the Mengte Dynasty. According to the Emperor's will, I will help you repair the Phalanx in the shortest possible time so that you can go to Cadia in the strongest possible posture."
"Captain Galadon, please open the permissions of the Mountain Phalanx and designate the required positions for these priests. Lord Gao Yi will assist you!"
The imperial guards also said at the same time.
"The shortest time? Great Guards, are you kidding me? I didn't even see the existence of the dock! If we carry out repairs, we won't be able to support Cadia in time."
"Indeed. This battleship is bigger than I imagined. It is indeed troublesome to repair, but we can buy time with numbers. Priests! Let's get to work
