Warhammer III

While Taiyue and Viernus were talking, a Death Watchman holding a double-headed eagle power hammer hurried in.

On his yellow right shoulder armor was a mantis shadow and red compound eyes. The man was the Death Watchman Renus from the Mantis Warriors.

The Mantis Warriors were a sub-warband of the White Scars. The warband was founded in the 35th millennium. Its main purpose was to monitor the threat of the Great Vortex. The number of recruits they sent to the Death Watch was once second only to the Crimson Fists.

During the Barbuda War, the Mantis Warriors were deceived by the rebellious Star Claws Chapter Master Huron and once turned their swords against the Empire. The Inquisition banned them from joining the Death Watch until they regained the right to recruit new soldiers after the Atonement Expedition and obtained the approval of the Inquisition. The ban was lifted.

When Viernus saw the man coming, he knew that there was important information again, and waved his hand to signal Renus to speak directly.

"Lord Vilnus, the hive world Nestos in the southern part of the star sector has lost psychic contact. It should be the target of the Tiamat Hive Fleet's attack. Previously, the planetary governor reported to the Inquisition that there were activities of the Genestealer sect inside the planet."

Renus reported the news he had just received with a serious expression. He knew that the population of the hive world Nestos exceeded 10 billion. If it was preyed upon by the Tiamat Hive Fleet, the consequences would be disastrous.

In order to accurately predict the attack route of the Tiamat Hive Tentacles, Vilnus sent the astropaths in the Watchtower to the densely populated planets in the star sector at the suggestion of Inquisitor Kriptman.

The astropaths in the Watchtower were originally psychic communicators stationed in the safest position of the fortress. If the Watchtower was breached by the aliens, they would be responsible for passing on the intelligence and giving the Empire a timely warning.

Now, these astropaths sent to different planets will regularly contact the Watch Fortress. If the psychic contact is interrupted for more than ten days, it can be preliminarily determined that the planet is disturbed by the psychic shadow of the Tyranids and is the target of the Tyranid Hive Fleet.

This psychic monitoring network is also called the Tyranid Invasion Early Warning System. Although other situations such as demon invasions may also cause astropathic signals to be interrupted, if this method is used to monitor the hunting routes of the Tyranid Hive Fleet, the prediction accuracy will be very high.

The Tyranid Invasion Early Warning System requires real-time astropathic communication, which is very labor-intensive. In addition to the astropaths in the Watch Fortress, the planetary governor's personal astropaths and the astropaths resident in the Ministry of Justice have joined this early warning system.

"Is the psychic communication of the surrounding galaxies affected?"

Viernus asked anxiously. By judging the size of the affected area, the scale of the invading hive tentacles can also be preliminarily determined.

"The psychic communications of the three surrounding star systems have been affected one after another, but it is not yet time for warning."

After Reinus finished speaking, Viernus breathed a sigh of relief:

"It seems that it is not the main force of the Tiamat Hive Fleet."

"God Emperor, the Ninth Brotherhood will go to support this hive world!"

Taiyue took the initiative to ask for battle. If it is really a small tentacle of the Tiamat Hive Fleet, it is very suitable to be the first opponent of the expeditionary force.

"The Reinus Killing Team will go to the hive world Nestos with the Grand Master."

Viernus did not refuse. He also needed to see the strength of the expeditionary fleet brought by Taiyue before deciding whether to include the expeditionary fleet in the confidential plan.

After Reinus was stunned, he had noticed the great Master Taiyue wearing silver power armor early in the morning, but he did not expect that the Lord of Watch would directly send himself and the Ninth Brotherhood to act together.

Generally, the Lord of Watch has five or six companies under his jurisdiction, and the captain of each company's watch commands four killing teams to act together.

The killing team led by Reinus, including himself, had only five members in total, and could only play an advisory role in this operation.

After the meeting, Tai Yue and others led the killing team back to Blackstone Fortress after Reinus gathered his teammates.

Two days later, the Tianyuanfang Blackstone Fortress left the Watch Fortress and headed for the Hive World Nestos.
