Chapter 12: Psychic Navigation and the Lord of Watch
Taiyue and Jerome went straight to the navigation room, the former was responsible for finding the direction of the psychic lighthouse, and the latter was alert to the demonic threats that might approach when using psychic power.
Taiyue consciously awakened his psychic power, and his vision gradually became hazy, and the outlines of the surrounding scenery became unclear.
His spiritual bones connected the subspace and the real universe, becoming the carrier of the subspace energy. The originally huge and gray-and-dark subspace psychic projection expanded further, like a dangerous vortex across the subspace.
Taiyue could sense the large rift across the galaxy at this moment, but his consciousness could not penetrate this darkness. He then looked to the east of the Extreme Star Region, trying to find the psychic lighthouse in the mottled and ethereal unknown light and shadows.
During this period, several unknown subspace beings entered the navigation room without the protection of Geller's power. They tried to devour Taiyue's soul and occupy his body, but they were all expelled by Jerome's powerful psychic power.
After an unknown amount of time, Taiyue finally found a special cone-shaped light. The light flickered like an undulating pulse, and it was covered by a dark shadow. If it weren't for the psychic power of the subspace shadow attribute, he wouldn't have found the light in the shadow.
"God bless you, I found it!"
Taiyue came back to his senses at this time, and he pointed to a direction in the void.
"Three days have passed!"
Yin Lisha looked haggard. She hadn't closed her eyes for three days, fearing that she would miss the time when Taiyue woke up. After receiving Taiyue's instructions, she immediately guided the Black Stone Fortress to conduct subspace navigation in the direction provided by Taiyue.
With Taiyue's psychic navigation, the round and square Black Stone Fortress can sail a longer distance. If there is no subspace storm blocking the view in the middle, it can even sail to the destination in one go.
After Taiyue determined the direction of the psychic lighthouse for the first time, even if the subspace storm temporarily blocked his view later, when the Black Stone Fortress bypassed the subspace storm area, he would soon find the direction of the psychic lighthouse again.
During the voyage, Varda suddenly came to the navigation room in a panic and reported the emergency to Taiyue:
"Master, a group of warp demons have poured into the cabin at the edge of the Blackstone Fortress, which is far away from the anti-psychic turrets. The demons may continue to invade the core area of the fortress."
After thinking for a moment, Taiyue gave an order:
"Brother Jerome, you lead the brothers to deal with the demon invasion first. If necessary, you can mobilize the Knight Titan to expel the invading demons."
He can now use psychic flames to expel the approaching warp demons while looking at the direction of the psychic lighthouse, and no longer needs Jerome's protection.
Jerome nodded and left here. He and the Ninth Brother Think Tank went to intercept the demon troops first to prevent the enemy from entering the fortress and corrupting the warriors of the Tiamat expedition.
The Knight Titan went to the foundry in the fortress to install psychic weapons. At the same time, Dela engraved the same psychic runes used by the Grey Knight power armor on the Knight Titan's mechanical throne. The fully armed Knight Titan rushed to the battle area.
After a fierce battle, the Ninth Brotherhood finally drove out the invading demon army. The expeditionary force training in the center of the fortress did not even know that there was a demon invasion.
During this period, the Ninth Brotherhood also captured a large number of demons and imprisoned them in the No. 6 psychic turret. These demons will be used as tools for the Brotherhood think tank to train psychic and demon knowledge.
After that, the group repeatedly repelled large and small demon invasions and destroyed a large number of warships of alien creatures who tried to board the Blackstone Fortress.
After a year of voyage in the subspace, the Blackstone Fortress crossed most of the galaxy and finally arrived at the Far East Star Region where the Tiamat Hive Fleet was active.
During this period, the Star Language Navigation Class successfully contacted the Watch Fortress Hartmoth in the star region. The Blackstone Fortress did not directly enter the Tiamat galaxy where the psychic lighthouse was located, but changed its route to the Watch Fortress.
There are two reasons for doing this:
First, entering the Tiamat system now may alert the enemy. The Tiamat Hive Fleet is still plundering biomass in the surrounding galaxies and further improving the psychic lighthouse on the planet Ziapria. If an unknown fleet enters the Tiamat system, the Hive Fleet will return to the Tiamat system for defense.
The troops recruited by Inquisitor Kriptman and Deathwatch in the dark side of the Empire have not yet been assembled. They have rich combat experience against the Tyranids and are an indispensable force for this operation.
Second, although the expeditionary force has received professional training, they have no experience in direct combat with Tyranid creatures. Taiyue is preparing to conduct local combat on the planet where the small tentacles of the Tyranids appear, so that the expeditionary force can accumulate experience through actual combat.
Defeating the small tentacles can also improve the morale of the expeditionary force and give them the courage to face the main force of the Tiamat Hive Fleet.
After a few days of sailing, the Blackstone Fortress successfully arrived at the galaxy where the Watch Fortress Hartmoth is located.
Most of the planets in this galaxy are gaseous planets. The only habitable planet has now become a death world. The Death Watch used cyclone torpedoes to completely destroy this world. The flames covering the entire planet destroyed all dangerous species mixed with Tyranid DNA on it.
This also ensured the safety of the Hartmoth Watch Fortress. There was no biomass for the Tyranids to harvest, so the Tiamat Hive Fleet and its tentacles did not enter this galaxy.
The Lord of Watch, Viernus, sent an invitation to Master Taiyue, asking the Ninth Brotherhood to go to the Watch Fortress to discuss the pest control plan.
Taiyue, Jerome and Della immediately boarded the Thunderhawk gunboat and headed for the Watch Fortress Hartmoth.
The Watch Fortress was covered with automatic turrets and weapon arrays. Intrusions from any angle would be destroyed by dense cannon fodder. Two killing ships were also docked at the port of the fortress.
The killing ship was a unique weapon used by the Death Watch. They were actually unmanned automatic warships guided by the most advanced machine spirits. The only task of the killing ship was to execute the extermination order. With the stealth technology of the dark technology era, the killing ship could easily enter the enemy's rear.
When Taiyue and the other two stepped onto the heavy metal floor of the Watch Fortress, the fortress guard Brother Polit was already waiting for them here.
"By the order of the Lord of Watch, welcome Master Taiyue to come!"
Brother Polit then remotely opened the sealed fortress gate. He led the three people in. After closing the outer gate, he opened the second gate, and repeated through three gates.
Taiyue recognized that Polit was from the Blood Angels through his shoulder armor, and the bloody white wings were particularly eye-catching.
After everyone entered the Watch Fortress, Brother Polit did not follow Taiyue and others to continue forward. A robot servant took the three to the command center where the Watch Lord was.
After passing through the long and narrow passage, Taiyue and others finally met the Watch Lord Viernus.
