Chapter 970: Terra is in trouble
To stop Bassol from becoming a god, it is necessary to grab the necessary fragments of the relic.
Of course, Gu Hang will invest a lot of research energy into the positioning technology of relic fragments.
But compared to Bassol who has been preparing for countless years, Gu Hang is only beginning to catch up. I am afraid that even if he can come up with a usable positioning technology in the end, he will still be far less efficient than the other party.
However, besides directly locating the relic fragments themselves, humans have another direction to stop the enemy that they can work towards.
Chaos collects the fragments of these relics by dispatching the Disaster Fleet to plunder across the universe. In the past, the Alliance didn't understand the significance of the Disaster Fleet's frequent actions, believing them to be just like any other Chaos enemy, simply wreaking havoc and spreading Chaos corruption—and not at all efficient.
But now, the Alliance has learned that the target of the Disaster Fleet's activities in space is the relic fragments.
Then wouldn’t it be enough for humans to just follow the Disaster Fleet?
Of course, this is easier said than done.
The Scourge Fleet is a Chaos fleet that uses Warp Drives for interstellar travel. Its movements are treacherous and difficult to track. After appearing, they often rush to their target, strike, cause some damage, and then quickly withdraw.
It's really hard to deal with.
But isn’t this a coincidence?
During the Comoros War, the Dark Eldar launched two raids against the Alliance, both of which were not small in scale and were considered to be the desperate efforts of their entire race.
And, if we really talk about treacherous movements and the flexibility of ships, the Chaos fleet can use the Veil Spirit Portal to navigate space more quickly and swiftly; when in the real universe, the Eldar ships are generally faster and more flexible.
In addition, the Dark Eldar have been doing piracy and this kind of thing for tens of thousands of years, not just a few dozen or hundreds of years.
Their entire race has accumulated a lot of experience over a long period of time, and has accumulated a wealth of similar specific tactics and strategies, and they also have many outstanding commanders and chiefs.
Generally speaking, isn't the Dark Eldar's pirate fleet cluster much more difficult to deal with than the Disaster Fleet?
But even so, the 'hunting fleet' formed by the Alliance during the Comoros War effectively curbed the actions of the Eldar pirates.
Of course, that comes at a price.
In order to build a force strong enough to counter the frenzied Dark Eldar's full-scale counterattack in the real universe, humanity had put all its efforts into it. Not only was the Central Front fighting, but a large number of high-speed ships were also drawn from the Southern Front, the Angel Front, and the Eastern Front.
The transfer of these ships has indeed affected the efficiency of the Dark Side Expedition.
Logically speaking, after the end of the Comoros War, there should no longer be such a great need for the "hunting fleet" to continue to exist.
However, since we still have to face the Disaster Fleet, the 'Hunting Fleet' that has accumulated rich experience in dealing with it can still continue to play a role.
But it doesn't need to be on such a large scale.
…
Currently, Gu Hang's methods of dealing with Bassol and the Disaster Fleet are, first, to research new positioning technology, but this is a long-term measure; second, to use the 'hunting fleet' that has been formed to specifically deal with the Chaos Disaster Fleet.
But in general, the threat of the new evil god is a long-term threat, not the present one.
But at the moment, a bigger problem is facing Gu Hang - the progress on Robert's side is not going smoothly.
The sign that the Comoros War had entered its second phase was the departure of the Terra Expeditionary Force from Comoros. At that moment, the Dark Eldar of Comoros suddenly turned against humanity, tore up the peace agreement that had only had a short-lived effect, and launched a brazen attack on humanity.
The Terra Expeditionary Force also suffered some losses in this process.
When the entire fleet was leaving through the Veil Ridge Gate, the Dark Eldar violently closed the gate, resulting in a small group of people at the tail end of the entire fleet being unable to pass through the Veil Ridge Gate and getting lost between the curtains.
Although it is called 'lost', it can basically be considered a 'loss'.
Robert, who had just arrived in the real universe and had not had time to do anything, was suddenly hit by such a big blow. Of course he was very dissatisfied.
All the losses combined accounted for about 1% of the entire fleet.
This is not a particularly big loss, not a serious one, but it can be considered a bad start.
But Robert had no other choice but to send a letter to Gu Hang through the astropath to express his dissatisfaction.
Then he led the fleet and headed towards Holy Terra at full speed.
That is his ultimate goal.
The point where the Veil Spiritual Portal opened was said to be very close to Holy Terra, but it was actually in the next galaxy. It would take about two standard Terran days to find the jump point, and then another half a day to complete the jump to the solar system. Another three days would be enough to reach the human home planet.
During this process, Robert kept trying to contact Holy Terra.
At first, we couldn't get in touch.
The psykers on the ship discovered that there were extremely fierce subspace waves in the solar system.
At this time, I already had a bad feeling - could the situation I was most worried about still happen?
Robert still had a sense of luck, because although he was unable to contact Holy Terra, he was able to contact Taiwei V where he was.
We learned from Taiwei V that it is a very "normal" thing for the subspace to be turbulent inside the solar system.
Ever since the Cataclysm and the appearance of the Scarlet Scar in the real universe, subspace waves have begun to appear in the solar system, and over the past hundred years, they have gradually become stronger.
It didn’t interfere with communications much in the past, but now, communications have become increasingly difficult.
The last communication with Holy Terra on Taiwei V was approximately three Terra-moons ago.
At that time, the news from Terra was that everything was normal, and the Imperial Army on Taiwei V was asked to perform their duties and do their own things.
Hearing this news, Robert was not relieved, but became even more anxious.
He kept urging the fleet to speed up.
When they arrived in the solar system, they immediately continued to try to communicate with Holy Terra and Mars.
Holy Terra said that everything was normal here and questioned Robert's identity, claiming, "If you are a loyal son of God, please stay at the edge of the galaxy with your army and wait for your identity to be confirmed."
But the news from Mars is different.
"Terra is in trouble, come quickly!"
