89: Chapter 89 Triple Fal Forging World

Xia Xingchen was eating breakfast. He had felt that something was off last night, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Xia Xingchen didn't dwell on it too much.

At this moment, the dream star was fully prepared, waiting only for Xia Xingchen to board the warship so it could proceed directly to the Triplex Phall Forge World.

After Xia Xingchen swallowed the last bite of bread, he immediately took Cassandra and Hecuba and boarded the Space Elevator.

The three of them arrived on the dream star.

Zheng Hai immediately began issuing orders to depart from the port.

The dream star adjusted its course and began the jump according to the route provided by Inquisitor Kolo.

The Triplex Phall Forge World was located in the east of the Daxia Star System, at a distance of approximately several hundred to a thousand light-years.

Xia Xingchen estimated that he would need to perform two space jumps.

The estimated time required was about two days.

When the warship appeared in the Triplex Alpha System, the Adeptus Mechanicus detection outpost quickly discovered intense energy fluctuations, and subsequently, a massive detection point appeared on the bird divination device.

In an instant, urgent alarm sounds rang out throughout the entire outpost.

Just as the Tech-Priest was preparing to report this news to the Archmagos.

The communication array of the dream star sent out a communication request.

"They seem to be requesting communication with us."

Upon seeing this, the Tech-Priest immediately ordered the operator to connect the communication, while simultaneously reporting the news to the Fabricator-General and the Governing Magos.

After connecting the communication, Xia Xingchen first identified himself, telling them that he was a force of the Empire.

Xia Xingchen's message had been sent for quite a while, yet there was no response from the Triplex Alpha System, which made Xia Xingchen wonder if they had mistaken him for an enemy.

Just as Xia Xingchen was preparing to send a second communication request, and to emphasize that he was truly not an enemy.

A communication came back from the Triplex Phall Forge World.

"Please proceed to the designated port; the indicator lights have been turned on for you."

Having received permission from the Triplex Phall Forge World, Xia Xingchen's fleet slowly advanced into the Triplex Phall System.

Looking at the Triplex Phall Forge World, what caught Xia Xingchen's attention the most was that massive Forge World, as well as the two Death Worlds.

Xia Xingchen sighed with regret. Originally, the Triplex Phall System had three Forge Worlds, but by the 41st Millennium, only one remained: the Triplex Phall Forge World.

"The eldest sister," Triplex Phall, was the most important Forge World in the eastern part of the Empire; in some technical aspects, they were even more powerful than the Mars Forge World.

"The second sister," Triplex Gallatia, was destroyed by the Dark Angels Legion during the Horus Heresy for supporting the rebels;

"The third sister," Triplex Thule, had long since turned into a dead ruin after the war. The reason was that it had always attempted to remain neutral, wanting to see who would win before joining them; the result could only be described as absolute disloyalty being the lack of absolute loyalty, and it was ultimately destroyed by the Dark Angels.

The only remaining Triplex Phall world survived because it remained steadfastly loyal to the Empire.

Upon arriving at the Spaceport, rows of indicator lights lit up, guiding Xia Xingchen's warship to approach slowly.

Xia Xingchen's warship was simply too large to dock completely in the inner port, so it had to dock at the outer port.

When Xia Xingchen walked off the warship.

An honor guard from the Triplex Phall System also quickly appeared inside the Spaceport.

On one hand, it was to welcome Xia Xingchen, and on the other, it was to maintain vigilance.

When Xia Xingchen entered the Spaceport from the warship, what appeared before him were massive robots painted in red.

Kastelan Robots.

They stood silently in rows on both sides of the corridor, their crimson armor reflecting an unsettling cold light under the dim illumination. This was both the highest standard of honor guard and a silent display of force.

Looking at this scene, Xia Xingchen sighed inwardly; it seemed that the Triplex Phall Forge World did not fully trust him.

The Magos who came to welcome Xia Xingchen was also bewildered; it was his first time seeing such a unit.

When Xia Xingchen walked down, accompanied by two maids on either side—this was not important—what was important was that the soldier escort behind him numbered nearly a hundred, all wearing uniform power armor.

It was no exaggeration to say that this was the most luxurious unit the Magos had seen in nearly a hundred years.

The Magos's gaze fell upon Xia Xingchen's power armor and the Star Guard's power armor, and he could not tear his eyes away.

One was a suit of armor left over from the legendary Dark Age of Technology, and the other was a mass-produced item from the Great Crusade era; if he could study them thoroughly, he might be able to reverse-engineer quite a bit of technology.

As for the two little maids beside Xia Xingchen, they were directly ignored.

"Two women are so annoying; can they not stand so far forward and disturb my viewing of the power armor behind them?"

When that Magos was looking at the power armor on Xia Xingchen and the Star Guard like a pervert, he only came to his senses after the Tech-Priest beside him reminded him.

The Magos looked up and saw that Xia Xingchen had already performed an Aquila Salute and praised the Emperor.

Only then did the Magos react, immediately performing an Aquila Salute to Xia Xingchen and praising the Omnissiah.

Seeing this, Xia Xingchen immediately handed over the Rose Medal and the letter of recommendation that Inquisitor Kolo had given him.

Seeing the seal of the Inquisition on the envelope being handed over, the Magos dared not be negligent and took it directly.

Seeing that the seal on the envelope was indeed that of the Inquisition, and that it was a personal letter of introduction from an Inquisitor, the general content was to express the hope that the Triplex Phall Forge World would provide priority equipment and all necessary logistical support to Governor Xia Xingchen.

However, this was not something that he, as a Magos, had the authority to decide; he had to hand it over to the Fabricator-General and the Governing Magos.

The Magos first instructed the subordinate Tech-Priest to take Xia Xingchen to the Spaceport's reception room to rest, while he himself needed to report this matter.

Inside the room, Xia Xingchen strongly demanded to the Tech-Priest beside him:

"I allow the use of Servo-skulls to serve me, but I absolutely do not allow you to bring Cherubim before me."

The first time Xia Xingchen saw a Cherubim, it truly disgusted him to no end.

"Can you imagine?"

"An infant fitted with wings, eyes modified, glowing with the dull white light of a dead fish, then floating over to pour tea and water for you."

Xia Xingchen could not accept it at all and immediately demanded that all service robots be either Servitors or Servo-skulls; in any case, he did not want Cherubim anywhere near him.

At this moment, a sound of metal and slight mechanical clashing appeared at the doorway.

"Who is it?"
