Chapter 226 The Angry Kaliman Family
One hundred soldiers have arrived here, and the biological annihilation fusion bomb has also arrived. Needless to say, the preciousness of this super weapon. The empire thought that this bomb had disappeared with the explosion of the biological mothership, and we will give it to you in the future. A surprise for the enemies of the Emperor.
Nine hundred Primaris left the world, and the mother group was drained dry.
Originally, 1,000 people were sent to the trade fleet, but 300 were sent to the trade fleet. Three hundred new recruits were sent to serve, and they were able to make ends meet. Now, 900 people were left at once. The recruits had not yet finished training, and all the soldiers from Xiaolan's 11th Company were sent away. out.
There are only a hundred people left here, and except for a few Beiwei soldiers, they are all descendants of Lang Tuan.
Rogier is almost becoming Captain of the People's Light.
None of the Wolf Regiment's troops participated in the battle against the Tyranids, so they naturally did not need to go out to disguise themselves. This was a pain for our Chef Tenos.
As the inventor of Kelan Wine, Chef Ternos now works part-time as the chief winemaker, working day and night every day.
He said painfully, Commander Yifeng, could you please arrange for a technical sergeant to look at the wine cellar door? There are always "people" who violently open the locks and go in to search for a while. They have a very good nose and specialize in picking out the fermented ones. It is completely impossible to save anything "ten years old" or "hundred years old".
The lock on this wine cellar door broke every two or three days. In the end, locking it became very perfunctory, and it was boring to tie it up with a rope.
After several protests to no avail, Ternos began to find another way. He pinched his nose and came to Ogryn's dormitory in the Mortal Auxiliary Army.
Everyone knows that Ogryn is a big, stupid guy, with the same size and strength as the green-skinned boss. Although his IQ is worrying and his personal hygiene is extremely poor, he is absolutely loyal and is a good guard.
Ternos asked them to take good care of their wine at the expense of putting the food first for Ogryn every time the meal was served, so that they could take care of the food.
Laozi, the founder of Kelan Fine Wine, must always have rare wines in hand, so use them in critical moments.
Three hours later, Ogryn's wise men came to Tenos crying. They had lost Tenos' wine, and the Ogryns were too guilty to come to dinner that night.
That day, from time to time on the battleship, you could see stupid people wandering around, trying to find the lost wine tank.
At night, Oglin was so hungry that he couldn't bear it, but they still chose the former between the order to stay put and the desire to eat.
The next day, the Ogryns almost ate their dinner plates, and half of the table was gnawed away.
........
After experiencing this incident, Ternos completely gave up and ran around in the kitchen, trying to find a hidden place to hide some important wine.
A group of pirates joined him. These people were members brought by Siwana. They have been uneasy since they arrived here and have never been able to integrate into this group.
Well, they didn't go to school either. They licked blood from small knives. They didn't have any fun here. They were all skilled workers and defense forces, and occasionally they could see moving power armor.
The only thing left for this group of people to have fun is drinking, so naturally they have to have a good relationship with the kitchen.
After a group of people searched continuously, they found a secret kitchen warehouse, where Chef Felin's unique secret recipe was stored.
The opening line reads, "If you find this secret book, you are a careful chef, a chef who visits every area of the kitchen, a chef with heart, I hope you can..."
"What the hell?" The pirate leader threw the secret book behind him.
I've never eaten pork, but I've seen pigs run around and hide some mechanical gadgets. Maybe I can exchange something with the technical sergeant, that's all...
Putting a small hidden cabin into a small wine tank is already the limit. The pirate thought quickly and stuffed his treasure into it - a collection of portraits of beauties that made blood flow.
There is no way, the superiors are strict, and there is no place for fun with so many beauties.
Tenos stepped on Felin's secret book, his foot slipped, and he fell down.
"Who? Whoever litters, I will fine him or her wages." Ternos said angrily. How could he, an executive sous chef, see garbage on his own property?
I picked it up and saw that it was the secret recipe of the previous chef?
Tenos was confused, and a certain pirate who heard his roar looked up at the sky, whistled and slipped away.
.......
"Who made this? Who made this!" Xiaolan shouted towards the kitchen with her mouth full of oil.
"I can't forget the smell of old Felin. Who made it?"
Tenos was startled, and Xiaolan rushed in directly.
Afterwards, the whole kitchen was filled with cheerful air.
Tenos's face was scorched black by Felin's unique barbecue method, and the two skewers inserted into the meat were roasted red. Tenos was swinging them at a loss, and hit the grill, sparking metal sparks, and he looked like a fish. A master of salamander casting.
——————————————————————————————————
In order to prevent the Tau rebellion from happening again, our regiment paid them a cordial visit and gave them another blow to their self-confidence.
The general of the Feng clan was competing in a boat race with one of our white-scarred descendants of the Wei army, and was completely tortured. After the game, he protested that the Astartes were biochemically modified and could not be counted.
The Fire Clan's competitive players came out, and we sent Ina, who almost beat it to death.
The Tu clan also wants to show off their technology and look at the huge battleship in the sky. Forget it, no matter how hard they try, they can't be compared to the battleship above.
After solving the internal problems of the Great Thousand World, the People's Light was free to conduct routine patrols.
Yifeng is fighting each other, not with his left hand fighting his right hand, but with his left brain and right brain arguing with each other.
Left brain: All this is a lie. I am a native Astartes. The university and liberation are all fake. They are false memories created by the enemies of Chaos for me to lead people in the second great war. Rebellion! Bring down the empire.
Right Brain: Anti-psychic shields are a joke? If the memory is false, the fictitious memory in your mind will be instantly destroyed by the anti-psionic shield. No matter you are the emperor, Malcador or the evil god's chess piece, you are now on the chessboard. Can you lift the table or not? It's up to you to decide.
Just as the two sides were arguing, the machine next to them beeped.
Yifeng received a request for help that left him confused.
The person asking for help is our think tank, the disciple of Sisyphus who follows the trade fleet around.
The prophetic think tank holding a power hammer woke up after a convulsion. He felt that his fleet was going to be beaten, so he called the parent regiment in advance for support.
The truth is that Yifeng won’t be able to fix it.
The truth is more serious than they thought.
The arrogant behavior of the trade fleet must have offended the interests of many forces. There is only so much money. If you make it, others will lose it.
An ancient Rogue Trader family that was canonized under the emperor's will. To be precise, it should be the Imperial Rogue Trader Dynasty. They have the real Imperial Rogue Trader Magna Carta. They are a veritable King's Shichibukai, a super-large fleet that holds legal certificates for robbery. Lord.
Note: These people have a terrible power, he can take an extermination order.
The surname of this family is Caliman. They are a wealthy family outside the Emperor's Star Torch. They have an extremely large fleet, are full of martial virtue, and have connections with multiple Mechanicus and Astartes war groups.
This merchant dynasty owned countless Jericho-class pilgrim ships and Wanderer-class merchant ships, and more than 200 Havoc-class frigates and fifty-eight Ambition-class cruisers were always on an expedition.
That expedition took place eleven thousand years ago.
They plundered and suppressed alien races and brought a large number of new worlds into the empire's territory. Of course, it's usually a 50-50 split, with half reported and half concealed.
Anyway, outside the Star Torch, it was difficult for the Imperial fleet to sail.
Living outside the Star Torch for many years, he naturally interacted with many forces. He and several other Rogue Traders did business with each other. No, he suddenly found that the "business alliance that he was fighting against" had disappeared. The weak Rogue Trader Alliance was eaten.
After a period of freedom, Caliman suddenly discovered that most of his trade had been cut off. The Mechanicum he cooperated with often refused his trading requests. The reasons were mostly the same. No money (goods), money (goods) was spent. Well, wait until I save up for a few years before you come back.
Then, he discovered that a large amount of territory had been "occupied", and those worlds resolutely resisted his leadership. They were obviously not included in the empire's records, but they were full of confidence.
Can the Caliman family endure it? Three Ambition-class cruisers passed by with a group of frigates. As a result, the meat buns beat the dogs and never came back.
The confused Caliman family finally became serious and began to investigate the situation.
Florence, a little-known Rogue Trader, suddenly gained the support of a Red River Astartes Chapter to help them dispose of the loot. Then he suddenly became rich, purchased a large number of ships, and conducted trade.
It was he who robbed the ships of several Rogue Traders belonging to the Kaliman family, and also occupied a large number of planets.
The Kaliman family is very angry. You are a rising star, right? You have never been beaten, right? Today I will teach you what the sinister galaxy is.
Say, how many warships does he have?
Thirty-two Ambition-class cruisers, and the number of strike cruisers is unknown... The old patriarch of Kaliman choked half to death on a mouthful of water.
How many? so much?
The old patriarch instinctively felt something was wrong. His family had dominated the world for so many years and only accumulated fifty-eight ambition-class ships. How many years had he been rising? It won't be supported by any high lord later.
Explore again, report again.
A few months later, the reconnaissance force came back and found nothing. They were just a group of Astartes, protecting the Rogue Traders and trading around. The spies joined their fleet, and they didn't notice that the Astartes had left to plunder the aliens at all. , they have no idea where the alien artifacts used for trading come from.
The top executives of the Kaliman family also asked about their backers. The executive was also having a hard time, but he was sure that no one was involved in the gray income in his area. Everyone was busy grabbing another big piece of the cake.
Then it doesn’t matter. It’s a human or a ghost. You’ll know after a fight. The worst we can do is let our backstage fight with each other after the fight.
Facing the Astartes guards, we definitely cannot call those Astartes war groups that are related to us. We have to let the black forces come.
The Calliman family called a group of renegade Space Marines of their own. This group of people rebelled against the Empire but were unwilling to join Chaos, so they wandered around the world and eventually became a mercenary army under the Calliman family.
Since they did not have to pay gene seed taxes to the empire, with the secret help of the Kaliman family, their number quickly grew to more than 800 people.
This private armed force is enough to send the Kaliman family to the gallows of the Inquisition, and it is also enough to ensure the safety of his daily transactions.
Of course, things like strike cruisers are difficult to obtain, and the Empire is extremely strict about the management of Astartes-specific equipment.
The Caliman family is also a tough one. If you walk along the river for a long time, you will naturally encounter the Chaos Astartes and the Dark Mechanicus. They have repelled the Chaos warriors, but they have many transactions with the Dark Mechanicus.
When the Dark Mechanicus saw that these Rogue Traders were willing to pay big prices to buy things, they naturally welcomed them and asked the Caliman family to use a large amount of basic materials in exchange.
The Dark Mechanicum is miserable, there are few planets in the Eye of Fear, and the competition is fierce. Normal metal materials are so rare! They signed a contract with the Caliman family, using a large amount of basic materials mined in the real world to exchange for the strike cruiser. There is also a proviso. This ship was originally given to a war gang. They made a contract. You must exchange that Kill the warband.
The Dark Mechanicus provided the whereabouts of that warband. At that time, the war was fierce, and the Kaliman family used all their connections, including calling on the Empire Astartes and the Mechanicus who owed them favors, to eliminate the enemy.
This battle three hundred years ago made the Caliman family's position in the empire rock-solid, and they were completely loyal.
They killed that war gang, not only went to the Empire to collect the reward, but also bought the warships provided by the Dark Mechanicum, and had their own "war group" of Astartes.
Proud, extremely proud.
Expansion, immense expansion.
After the bloody disaster, this trading fleet reappeared, and the Caliman family was also ready to kill it.
Negotiate? They don't exist, there are only the weak and the strong out there, destroy them and become our affiliated families! !
The Great Psyker predicted the enemy's route, and it was also the subspace fluctuations generated by this prophecy that caused our psykers to fall into the prophecy.
The trade fleet led by Nian Cijin sailed normally on the waterway, including six Ambition-class cruisers, Gothic-class battleships, Shibuya Secrets, Silent Fire and three firepower ships. Brave and high-spirited, fearing no one.
Don't run into half of the warband's enemies, and don't panic.
Since the Librarian's prophecy, all Astartes have been wearing battle armor in case of any eventuality.
Nian Cijin was hesitant about the think tank's words, "Brother, we are calling for support from the mother group just based on a prophecy. Isn't it too...suspicious?"
"Brother Nian Cijin, believe me, our fleet will suffer disaster unless we can get the support of the main force of the parent regiment."
"Disaster..." Nian Cijin glanced at the fleet and then at his own waterway.
"Did we run into some force's offensive line?"
"Probably not, that force is coming specifically towards us."
"Where is the front?"
"Celestial Star, a small world on the waterway."
"Go there and wait for support from the parent group."
Nian Cijin didn't know that the Tianxian Galaxy was the enemy's ambush circle.
——————————————————————————————————
There is a cloud of interstellar dust in the Celestial Galaxy. It rotates around the star on the periphery of the galaxy and becomes a galaxy-level star ring. The colorful colors give it the reputation of a fairy skirt.
The Bird Servant's ability to detect this dust has been greatly reduced, making this place the only choice for an ambush.
Kaliman Zha is a descendant of the collateral lineage. He is currently riding a Conqueror-class sailing ship hidden on the edge of the dust cloud. The special bird servant they installed can barely scan to Mandeville Point from here. It can be regarded as a reconnaissance ship.
"It's so boring. There's no fun. How long are we going to wait here? I want to go to Tianchi Star to soak in the hot springs." Kaliman Zha is not a playboy. He still has some ability. He just likes to have fun. .
I spend as much as I earn. You care about the money I earn based on my ability?
"Master, this is an important task for the family, but the decision made by the family meeting must not be taken carelessly. If you keep patiently, it will be over in a few days."
"Oh, there are so many people in the family, and there is no shortage of me. Why do you have to come here? I can make money happily, and it will be over if I hand it over to the family. I also have to respond to the assembly order. How can it be like a corvee?"
"Young Master, you can't say that. There is still competition for status in the family. If you don't participate in family activities for a long time, your status will be difficult to protect. Living in the Caliman family is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat."
"How many days have I been here? I stay in this boat every day. Nothing happens in front of me. Do I have any contact with the family? Could it be that they raided my small treasury while I was here?"
"Young Master~"
"The payment I pay every day is enough to build several cruisers. I really don't know how much those old guys have embezzled."
"Young Master, be careful what you say." The old servant was excited. The family sent people to keep an eye on him.
The old hand hidden in the robe stretched out and pointed at someone slightly.
"What are you afraid of? Who am I? My status in the family is at least a middle-level one. I can't keep up with those guys."
Although he is a collateral descendant, Kaliman Young works on several planets at the core of the family. Who allows the direct descendants to only have a dozen or so people? Such a big family manages thousands of worlds, and those vassal families are the slaves.
"Little Lord."
"Come on, you don't have to say anything, I'm going to the bathroom, just keep an eye on me." Kaliman Yang waved his hand and turned to leave.
The old servant sighed, the bathroom...isn't it just a big bath?
Forget it, I can't get my hours back.
The old servant stared at the bird servant faithfully, and suddenly saw a few spots on it.
"Where is the Adeptus Mechanicus? Call them to check if the machine spirit of the Bird Servant is... No, hurry up, sound the alarm, the enemy is coming!"
A fleet jumped out of the subspace, and Nian Cijin looked at the huge interstellar dust cloud in front of him with satisfaction.
"Brothers from the Think Tank, let's hide inside. No matter what enemies come, I'm sure to hold on to the support of the parent regiment."
"Yes, brother priest, but I think we should do some reconnaissance first. We are not sure if there is any danger here."
A new star frigate began to approach the gorgeous dust ring. By coincidence, it was sailing in the direction of Caliman Young's battleship.
"Young Master, Young Master! Come out quickly, the enemy is coming towards us!"
Kaliman Yang was lifting his pants with a look of displeasure when he saw the old servant rushing in shouting.
Screams were heard everywhere, and Kaliman Young, who knew right from wrong, rushed out with his pants in hand.
"Number of enemies! Incoming speed, direction, give me detailed data quickly, contact the main fleet, hurry up, hurry up, give me a quick response, if you are slow, I will move your heads."
The entire command room was in chaos until the words "There is only one frigate." calmed everyone down.
"Don't panic, it should be a reconnaissance ship. Give me the order. The whole ship will turn around and retreat. Move covertly and move towards the F preset point."
"The main fleet communication is connected."
"Yang!" A booming voice came from the communication channel.
"Uncle, the enemy has arrived at position 244-978-138 and is heading in the direction of 34 degrees to 81 degrees. There are about nine cruisers, one battleship, and three strike cruisers. A frigate suspected of being a reconnaissance force is heading towards us. Drive over here."
"It may be the forward troops. You retreat, be careful."
After the new star frigate plunged into the interstellar dust ring, it quietly activated a fake weapon array. It looked like a cannon muzzle, but it was actually converted into a hangar for the Astartes reconnaissance aircraft.
Small aircraft were scattered one after another, hidden in the interstellar dust turbulence stirred up by the frigate's tail flame.
Nian Cijin's warriors had a total of three hundred Astartes, and he was not at all panicked.
After the reconnaissance troops dispersed, they quickly discovered traces of the enemy. I am ashamed to say that I discovered them visually.
A white-scarred disciple simply felt that there was something dazzling over there. He drove over and saw that it seemed to be the track of a battleship that had not yet dispersed. He took a closer look, wasn't that the tail flame of an enemy battleship?
Then he followed quietly.
Kalliman Young didn't know that he was being followed, and ships from other directions were also retreating into the depths of the star cluster. They observed that the enemy frigate's navigation trajectory had not changed, and that side had been cleared.
The main fleet of the ambush force was also wondering, "Didn't you say 32 Ambition-class cruisers? What happened to the Mechanicus' firepower ships?"
"Maybe they bought it again. What happened to them? Why are they so rich?" The general manager who usually manages resources made a rough calculation and found that it would take at least three years to replace the output of the Caliman family's territory with basic resources. Three fireships.
"There must be forces behind them. Could they be from the Mechanicus of Mars? Do you have any information on the Red River Chapter?"
"It's very vague. I can only know that they are a mixed-seed battle group. It is said that they have seeds of the Iron Hand lineage."
"Hmph, can't the empire's records be more reliable? It is said that it is possible and should be. How about I add some more guesses?"
"What does it matter? Even if the estimated enemy ship size is set at forty main battleships, it is no match for our more than fifty main battleships. What's more, we have called the affiliated families and at least thirty cruisers are on standby at the next subspace node. Once the war starts, we can surround them."
"Okay, stop arguing."
