Invincible after death, but in Warhammer 40K

After the Tech-priests calmed down, they thought it over carefully. The fact that the battleship was gliding didn't seem as outrageous as they thought. After all, the fundamental reason for gravitational pull was mass.

So, in reverse thinking, couldn't they just operate in reverse of how Machine Spirits were used to eject ammunition? They could "stuff" a local area into the Warp, rendering it immune to gravity and adjusting the center of gravity. If the Machine Spirit was continuously delighted or if there were certain powerful psykers, it could actually be achieved.

Of course, as for why this ship was doing this, or who exactly was doing it, the Tech-priests were temporarily kept in the dark. The current, more credible speculation was that some Archeotech was stuffed inside the Titan and then triggered or used. Time passed by the second. The situation that defied common sense and led to a flurry of commotion gradually dissipated amid discussions. Relevant notifications were issued after deliberation.

The Tech-priests chose to "strategically" temporarily conceal the reason for the ship's gliding—although, in fact, they themselves didn't know why this was happening.

In the notifications, they only informed the personnel inside the ship and the other ships of the following: the Command Ship's hull had temporarily stabilized due to an Archeotech relic. Although the engines could not be restarted, it was estimated that it would be able to land normally. At the same time, they restored gravity supply.

At the same time, Skitarii in large numbers were transported from the other ships onto the Command Ship. Obviously, the Tech-priests were quite angry with the saboteur.

And it was at this time that a disagreement arose among the high-level officers regarding the final destination.

The forces led by the Hive Nobles felt that, with their remaining forces, staying in the wilderness without reinforcements was no different from a slow death. They should take the other ships to continue onward to the Hyperion Sector first. Once they arrived, they could call for reinforcements to come back and tow away the Titan.

The Adeptus Mechanicus, on the other hand, believed that wherever the Titan was, that's where they would be. As for everyone else, they could go wherever they wanted, as long as they didn't take the ships that they produced.

The first half didn't matter, but the second half was the main point of contention because it was roughly equivalent to telling everyone else to hoof it to the Hyperion Sector.

This magical scene was somewhat in line with the current situation of the Imperium.

Clearly, they were on the same giant ship that was crashing, but the people inside were still arguing and tearing each other apart because they represented different interest groups... and these arguments couldn't save this giant ship at all. The only decision being made was whether to stay at the crash site or simply abandon her.

The various vulgar words and body movements that didn't match their gorgeous attire made Zhang Ge want to laugh.

The one over there who was raising a gun to threaten the Tech-priests had a Skitarii standing not far behind him. You could see his own hand holding the gun was a little shaky.

The one over here who looked indifferent and wanted to provoke the nobles with this posture had already raised the cabin temperature by a few degrees with his heat dissipation system in the background.

Zhang Ge, who was watching the spectacle, was momentarily distracted. He didn't control his body very well and accidentally choked on some saliva while swallowing, emitting a few light coughs:

"Cough cough."

Although the volume was small, it swept over everyone like an expanding invisible wave, causing the silence to spread outward from the source.

By the time Zhang Ge came back to his senses, everyone had stopped arguing and focused their attention on him, even Artwood, who had been watching from the sidelines, was doing so.

Zhang Ge had gained a lot of prestige with a series of achievements, and he also had the backing of the Titan and the 1st Mechanized Infantry Regiment. He had unknowingly gained a lot of influence.

Also, he was actually an important decision-maker for the real core issue. After all, based on the Titan's respect for his advice, if he wanted to, he could probably ride the Titan and run away, leaving everyone else behind, with no problems at all. Under this eerie gaze, Zhang Ge spent 0.01 seconds realizing that they wanted him to speak, and another 0.01 seconds to understand the reason for their misunderstanding.

Realizing that it would be extremely awkward if he said that he only coughed because he swallowed saliva the wrong way, Zhang Ge used his earth-shattering wisdom to think for a moment and say a passage:

"Didn't we capture some filthy Xenos prisoners? What I mean is... why don't we Mind-wipe them, then remove their brains and put them in Servitors or something else, and then have them drive those Xenos Craft with Messengers to the Hyperion Sector. The rest of us can then hold fast at the crash site and wait for rescue."

The cabin was silent for a moment.

This proposal seemed a little absurdly out of place, but after thinking about it carefully... it actually seemed quite feasible.

On the one hand, the speed of those Xenos Craft was much faster than the ships, so the nobles would basically only have to spend time waiting for reinforcements to arrive.

Considering that there would likely be more than one Xenos attack on the road, this approach might be even safer. After all, the Hyperion Sector had a lot of proper military vehicles. Riding in those things was much better than sitting in a fragile box.

On the other hand, the Adeptus Mechanicus also achieved their goal of having these people act as meat shields for the Titan, and even mitigated the risk of internal strife to some extent.

The only people who might not be so happy were the Xenos themselves and the Inquisition personnel on the Hyperion Sector side.

The silence lingered for a while.

After all, at this time, whoever agreed to the proposal first would be equivalent to taking on the second responsibility.

Seeing this situation, Amilia walked silently to a corner of the long table, then suddenly drew her sword and chopped down, directly cutting open the thick solid wood table corner. She said with a cold expression:

"Hesitating at such a critical moment is no different from betrayal. Everyone, isn't anyone deliberately sabotaging the agenda?"

Canoness Superior Heloise cooperated:

"My sword is also not dull."

The crowd looked at each other.

Although they knew that the surviving Battle Sisters of Akolan were basically Zhang Ge's staunch supporters, wasn't this a bit too blatant?

However, it was true that on this planet, considering the existence of Canoness Superior Keiji Blythe, the overall commander of the Sisters, the Battle Sisters really had the confidence to go up against the Inquisition.

This hot-tempered lady from the Order of the Martyred Lady could force the planetary council to completely let the Battle Sisters carry out their operations with one hand, and even get the Space Marines to actively seek close cooperation with her with the other. She had fought from the Ork front to the Chaos front, and had organized many counterattacks.

Considering the existence of this ruthless person, if the Battle Sisters were so clearly showing their attitude, then...

The first person to nod in agreement spoke up, followed by the second, and then a chorus of agreement echoed in the cabin, the atmosphere instantly becoming harmonious, as if the previous argument was just a hallucination.

Until the end, Artwood made a final decision:

"I have never seen any Xenos."

The words sounded awkward, but the subtext was that he would convince the Space Marines to ignore this utilitarian use of the Xenos.

Of course, this was also reminding everyone in the room that if they were going to do this, then don't be nosy and report this battle to break through the Xenos as an achievement. Do it discreetly so that everyone could save face.

Amidst various thoughts, the ship passed through the clouds, and the undulating contours of the ground below were already visible to the naked eye.
