Chapter 233: Farmers understand farmers best
Gao Yi tried to release the divine power in the mechanical authority, and the destroyed and blasphemous machines around him were returning to their original appearance.
The chaos corruption is slowly coming from above.
For a moment, everyone looked at Gao Yi in a daze.
The members of the Adeptus Mechanicus who participated in the battle were now murmuring praises to Om Messiah.
"Guilliman, Cawl, I think we should leave here first? Staying here may not be a good decision."
Gao Yi pointed to the sky, and the Black Stone Fortress began to grow bigger and bigger in the eyes of everyone.
Countless fragments fell like meteors. The ground firepower destroyed and shattered these fragments as much as possible, but there were still a large number of Blackstone Fortress fragments that hit the surface of Macragge in the form of meteors with long tail flames.
It would be fine if it hit an uninhabited area, but those fragments that fell in densely populated areas, even if they were not large in size, still caused damage like a natural disaster due to the added speed.
The battle in the void did not end with Vashtor's death.
The planet-like Blackrock Fortress still has a large number of artillery pieces remaining, posing a great threat to any approaching warships. The fleets belonging to the Extreme Marines continue to break through the blockades and pour firepower onto the Blackrock Fortress. Some fleets even directly crash into the Blackrock Fortress in an attempt to stop it.
Once Blackrock Fortress is completely within Macragge's orbit, there will really be no chance.
A starburst won't work, but most of the life on Macragge will die in the secondary disasters and the impact explosion. In this situation, there is no difference between mortals and Astartes or Primarchs. This is not something an individual can withstand.
The safest option Gao Yi can think of now is to take Guilliman and others and escape from Macragge.
However, this is also tantamount to giving up the home planet of the Ultramarines and all the mortals on it.
"Impossible! We will never give up Macragge!" Sicarius said firmly.
The Primarch finally awakened, but his own descendants were unable to protect the homeworld he built with his own hands, which was simply an insult to the Ultramarines.
Looking at the group of extreme warriors who did not want to leave, Gao Yi knew that it was almost impossible to persuade them to abandon their home planet.
Almost all chapters will fight to the last moment to protect their home planet, not to mention this original chapter.
Even if the mother planet is destroyed, its wreckage will be turned into a fortress, such as the Dark Angels' Monolith, which shows how dedicated they are to their mother planet.
"Wait. Maybe I have a way!" Gao Yi's words made all the extreme warriors present focus their attention on him.
He had not thought of this feasibility before obtaining Vashtor's power, but now he thought maybe he could give it a try.
The Blackstone Fortress, an ancient creation not created by humans, also contains similar machine souls. These "machine souls" have even helped the Empire prevent and attack the Chaos that occupied it.
Abaddon tried to control the Blackstone Fortress that he gave to Huron by using demonic possession. Although he failed, he drove the "machine spirit" inside it crazy.
Gao Yi felt that he could use his power of purification to restore the "machine soul" in the Black Stone Fortress to normal, freeing it from the control of chaos!
If he used the conventional method of affixing the Mark of Purity, it would take who knows how long it would take. However, after plundering Vashtor's power, Gao Yi was able to replicate his power into the code and gain abilities similar to the Demon Steel Plexus. This meant that he had taken possession of the power that Vashtor had been researching since its birth.
It also gave Gao Yi the ability to actually utilize the power of machinery and technology.
Gao Yi himself cannot write such complex binary code.
But Kawl can do it! Is there anyone in the entire empire who is better at it than him?
"Kawl, if I ask you to write a piece of code that can invade the Blackstone Fortress system now, how long will it take you?"
"An entire Blackstone Fortress?"
"Maybe not a whole ship, but at least more than 50 percent must be invaded! Only in this way can my plan be feasible."
"At least half a Terran hour! In order to deal with the possible invasion of my large warships by the Chaos Waste Code, I once wrote a large-scale hunting program for counterattack. This cost is still in the storage of this body. I only need to modify the cost of a hunt to the invasion spread, and I should be able to achieve the effect you mentioned.
But we must first reach the control core of the Blackstone Fortress, otherwise the Blackstone Fortress's own system will intercept my invasion program!"
Kohl's words made Gao Yi more certain of the feasibility of his idea.
The only two things they need to do now are to buy time for Kohl and let Gao Yi go to the Blackstone Fortress so that Gao Yi can use this new power immediately.
The former is the most difficult.
"Guilliman, you may need to join the battle next."
"This is my home planet. It is my duty to protect it. If I succeed, my descendants and I will remember this kindness!"
The moment Guilliman awoke, Chaos's original plan had already failed, but things had come to a point where, if they could not kill Guilliman and Gao Yi, then destroying Macragge would be considered a certain strategic goal.
Tzeentch could have ordered Vangar and the remaining Chaos fleet to retreat, but he did not do so.
He needs these people to lay down their lives to accomplish His goals.
A Gorgon came directly to where everyone was. The transport ship carried Gao Yi and others, as well as the Night Sentinels and all the soldiers of the Second Company of the Ultramarines, and headed towards the battlefield in the void at the fastest speed.
The tactical jump directly brought everyone across the blockade of the Chaos warships and to a location close to the Blackstone Fortress.
The group directly entered the airdrop cabin and rushed into the Blackrock Fortress.
At this time, Karax led all the phase technicians to increase the power of the Spear of Adun to the highest possible level. Kerrigan also abandoned the Ark of Omen, which had no combat capability, and joined the Zerg in the breakthrough of Blackstone Fortress.
"Kairax! Can you hear me?"
"It's very clear, Lord Gao Yi!"
"If the current situation continues, how long will it take for Blackstone Fortress to enter Macragge's gravitational range?"
"Fifteen minutes! Fifteen minutes at most! Lord, the solar rays can cut through the hull of the Blackstone Fortress, but it is too large, and the remaining part can still cause a devastating blow to the planet."
"Only fifteen minutes?" Gao Yi was not sure if he would make it in time.
"Lord! Another fleet!! Another fleet has broken through the warp and entered the battlefield! The powerful warp reaction is the Chaos fleet!!" Karax suddenly said hurriedly.
Although this Chaos fleet that entered the battlefield did not have the Blackstone Fortress, the size of its regular fleet was larger than Vangar's current fleet.
But he didn't expect what happened next.
This Chaos fleet that entered the battlefield actually began to attack those Chaos fleets that were fighting with the Empire.
"Has this group of Chaos gone crazy? They started killing each other?!" Gao Yi didn't understand for a moment.
The Chaos Fleet that entered the battlefield was none other than the main force of the Red Pirates led by Huron.
The moment Guilliman woke up, Huron, whose gene seed also came from Guilliman, also felt a sense of it.
He had intended to seize Blackstone Fortress after Vengar succeeded or failed, but he had not expected that Vengar had completely become a slave to the Chaos Gods and was going to use Blackstone Fortress to destroy Macragge.
Huron didn't care about the destruction of a planet, but he knew the price of doing so.
The Ultramarines would not care whether or not Vengar was following the orders of the evil god; they would only think that Vengar was a member of the Red Corsairs.
Should Macragge be destroyed, the Red Corsairs would have an irreconcilable blood feud with the Ultramarines.
The Ultramarines will destroy the Red Corsairs at all costs, and the Chaos Gods will benefit. He will take the blame? He will not take this blame.
Furthermore, Huron wanted the corrupt empire destroyed, but he did not want Chaos to completely devour humanity.
Although Macragge is important, its spiritual significance is greater than its practical value. Even if Macragge is destroyed, the Ultramarines still have 499 worlds.
If Huron ignores the Codex Astartes and starts to increase his troops at all costs, he will be in big trouble
