Chapter 188 The nun who came from afar
The Astartes recruit.
The most excited people are the local nobles who have lost their status. They find that they still have "a path to promotion" and "an opportunity to become a master again."
These die-hard people require all their children of appropriate age to participate in this selection, so that these children can revitalize the family and return it to its previous transcendent status.
They feel that this group of super soldiers are the rulers now, which is their original status as slave owners.
But most of them died on the selection field.
Many old nobles were so anxious that they couldn't even get sick.
Lian Leiluo had already left here, and the follow-up matters were left to several Guilliman descendants.
The Xuanqing Tianchi has sailed to the next world.
The second world that Lei Luo came to was located on a satellite of a planet. All living things in this colony had died. When the Astartes came here, they found no signs of life, not even microorganisms.
This situation usually occurs in a world hit by a virus bomb.
After the technical sergeant's investigation, there were only a few guesses. It may be that the star in the local world exploded. However, no abnormal phenomena were observed from the outside. The situation here can only be attributed to chaos corrosion.
They searched here for a while, looking for useful supplies, but only found a few necessities for survival.
This is a complete colony. As long as it is repaired a little and people are transported here, a new round of colonization can be carried out immediately.
To be on the safe side, Lian Leiluo decided not to colonize for the time being, and this area was listed as one of the key observation areas.
The third world is an ocean world that has not been in contact with the empire for a long time. It is not sure whether it is a rebellion or simply the internal affairs department of the empire that has not sent a ship here for hundreds of years.
When the soldiers arrived here, they only saw a broken floating platform.
The good news is that there are indeed people here, the bad news is that they are so degraded that they can no longer write.
Speedboats have become the main mode of mobility, and people here cling to several ancient floating platforms as their most precious resource.
No one knows how to maintain these mechanical creations, and many people have made homemade boats using various floating objects.
This used to be a marine farming world. Originally, they just dropped floating cages on the surface of the ocean to breed fish. They had explored the deep sea area, but found nothing.
What they don't know is that there is not just one layer of ocean on this planet, but two layers.
There is a shallow ocean outside, and then a solid rock layer. Through this rock layer, you can reach the deep inner sea of the planet.
When a floating cage accidentally lost power and sank into the sea, hitting a cave connecting the inner and outer seas, the thin geological structure on the seabed in the outer sea failed to support it, and the floating cage became the last thing that broke the camel's back. Straw.
A huge collapse appeared, becoming a new connection between the inner and outer seas, and successfully destroyed a city of the inner sea civilization below.
The aliens below came angrily to investigate the cause and launched a war against humans.
The attack destroyed a major floating island where the main external communication facilities were located.
The entire island sank to the bottom of the sea, and no one survived.
The aliens were exposed to strong light and suffered heavy casualties, which was fatal to them.
These enemies returned to the bottom of the ocean, leaving behind humans who had lost contact with the space station above.
The people on the space station tried to contact the Empire, but the warp storm blocked communications and there was nothing they could do.
People in the local world try to save themselves, and the only transport ship keeps going back and forth between the land-based platform and the space station. However, there is no shipyard in the local world. When the last transport boat broke down, the world here completely degraded.
Even Lei Luo thought more deeply. This is classified as an agricultural world that provides food. If this world loses contact with the outside world, then the surrounding planets will suffer and endure hundreds of years of hunger.
"We need to quickly restore production capacity here." Lian Leiluo said.
The Astartes tried to detect the aliens in the deep sea, but they were surprised to find that the enemy was really difficult to deal with.
Although the first level of the outer sea is not deep, the second level of the inland sea is hundreds of thousands of meters deep.
The ultra-high water pressure at the bottom of the sea makes it difficult for the Astartes to launch attacks. Even power armor cannot withstand the water pressure of that intensity. Even if it can, even the Astartes will find it difficult to move. Raise your hands. It’s all difficult, let alone swimming.
The aliens below are also fierce, because there is no light at all, and they have not evolved such a thing as vision. They rely entirely on fluctuations to communicate.
Later, electromagnetic wave communication evolved, and communication was very smooth at relatively close distances.
Later, these aliens developed their civilization. It is unimaginable to develop civilization in such an area of a near-dead world.
For them, reaching the seabed in the open sea is tens of millions of times more difficult than it is for humans to get close to the atmosphere. They need to wear special protective clothing to move in the open sea to maintain the water pressure and radiation protection required for their own survival.
For them, the sun is simply a weapon that destroys everything.
Their technology tree is developed based on wave weapons. Under water, the power of kinetic energy weapons decays very quickly, and the attack power of energy weapons will be greatly reduced by the surrounding water.
Maybe they didn't think of other types of weapons.
These aliens have developed attacks that use violent vibrations of water waves to kill enemies. At the same time, their excellent close combat skills also allow them to be at an advantage in underwater battles with humans.
This information does not come from people still living on the floating islands of the planet, but from the inscriptions on the space station.
When the transport boat broke down, the people on the space station knew that their time was running out, and they were worried that as time passed, unmaintained electronic products would fail. They did not record the history in the electronic instruments.
They engraved what they saw and heard on the metal plate, which was the information Lian Lei Luo learned.
At the end of the inscription on the metal plate is a portrait, a simple portrait of the alien enemy.
The enemy looks round and round, with several tentacles sticking out of the body. It uses the only weapon made of crustacean enemy shells in the deep sea. At such a deep place, the water pressure is so strong, these shells are also extremely hard, comparable to certain metals.
Lian Leiluo is in trouble. This planet is very valuable, but without using some powerful means, this kind of alien is really difficult to eliminate.
The Mechanicus personnel suggested using viral weapons to cleanse the entire ocean planet and then start rebuilding the ecosystem.
The remaining humans were evacuated to the empire's ships, with only more than 200,000 people at full count.
Lian Leiluo immediately ordered Oulaye World to bring in another batch of grain. After more than a hundred years of reconstruction, Oulaye Agricultural World has been fully restored and its production capacity is quite high.
On the next voyage, we will face countless worlds struggling to make ends meet.
——————————————————————————————————
After completing the reconditioning, the main force traveled around the Tau world.
The war group began a new reorganization.
Nominally speaking, although our number exceeds a thousand, we are still organized into four companies.
Now it needs to be reorganized.
The first company, company commander Kazanev, has an unknown number of people, how many Terminator armors there are, and how many of them there are.
The second company, captain William, whose size is unknown, is gone to who knows where.
The third company, Captain Anthony, was cheated on the subsistence allowance in the Hazy Star Region. There are currently about 600 people and they are trying to reduce the population.
The fourth company was reorganized, and the company commander, Lian Lei Luo, was responsible for the defense of the Taiping Star Territory. The current personnel is less than two hundred ordinary Astartes.
The fifth company, Captain Ashlan, led 32 survivors of the Primaris warriors from the empire, more than fifty warriors sent by Antony, and ordinary Astartes kidnapped from Lello.
Sixth Company, Captain Rogier, Wolf Regiment, currently has more than 20 people, training independently.
The Seventh Company currently has no company commander. Company Chaplain Furusch is temporarily serving as the commander, responsible for leading the Primaris warriors serving in the company.
The Eighth Company is mainly composed of soldiers who have returned from the Death Watch. It currently has only 9 people and no company commander.
Ninth Company, None.
The Tenth Company, commander Xiaolan, is currently leading three hundred Primaris recruits in training. Each branch is allowed to establish its own company of recruits.
The 11th Company, a unit that has completed recruit training but has not undergone assessment, is currently under the unified management of Xiaolan.
The Twelfth Company, "Friendly Forces Borrowing Ships", the main personnel are five warriors of the Raven Guard, hidden formation (The Lamenters and the Angel of the Dawn)
The Thirteenth Company, Captain Jonel, the remnants of the Emperor's Scythe, and other Black Shield warriors who joined early, mainly fight for redemption.
The Fourteenth Company, Captain Leon, the Black Shield Warriors whose loyalty is yet to be tested, and other similar personnel, are currently missing with William.
The Fifteenth Company, special warriors, including fire brigade, Astartes in the Strategic Resource Involuntary Transfer Force, supply transport vehicle crew members, Guilliman's descendants stationed in various worlds, etc.
The 20st Reserve Company, elite combat servants, is always ready to undergo the Ascension Surgery to be promoted to Primaris (note: the success rate is about %), and daily serves as a leader of the mortal auxiliary army.
First Trade Fleet: The strike cruiser Silent Fire is the flagship, and currently has several Ambition-class cruisers, Mechanicus firepower ships and armed merchant ships.
Damocles Regional Autonomous First Fleet: The Gothic-class battleship is the flagship and is being formed. The battle barge Dawnlight and the strike cruiser Supreme Heavy Ming often make adaptive guest appearances.
Beiwei Army: The honor guard formed by Yifeng. The number of members is unknown. It depends on Yifeng's mood.
Apothecary Guild: Leader of Stuart Val.
Think tank department:
Supreme Elder: Great Think Tank (crossed out),
Great Elder: Sisyphus (missing),
Overlord: Baers. Current de facto leader.
Technical Sergeant: Leader of Anos. Note: This chapter does not have any heretical technology.
重装甲集团军第一军：领导者莫罗瑞斯目前有帝皇毒刃超重型坦克202辆、罗斯科地面清扫者34辆、兰德掠袭者5辆、泰坦（5架战备2架预备军1架严重损毁）
Atmospheric combat formation: 13 Land Speeders, several Mortal Fighters, one Storm Raven Gunship, and several other armed transport ships.
.........
The battle group that has completed its formal reorganization has taken on a new look, although there are still no plans to establish specialized units.
The Assault Team, usually made up of the 1st Company, is currently unavailable due to a large number of jetpacks being taken away by William.
Destroyer Squad, we are all Destroyers.
Arbiter team, isn’t our standing firepower powerful enough?
.........
Just as the battle group was reorganizing and preparing to expand a little more territory, a tattered ship jumped from the subspace into our territory.
This is a ship participating in the expedition, a specially modified cruiser, carrying battle sisters, medical sisters and some warriors.
Medical nuns usually treat the wounded in hospitals behind the battle lines. This time, it was a "hospital move forward" after the battle lines moved forward. As a result, they dispersed after a chaotic subspace battle. In the strong impact, the navigator suffered heavy casualties. After drifting randomly for a while, the battleship emerged from the subspace.
When the field hospital left the warp, what it saw was a giant gaseous planet with constant surging waves, surrounded by the debris of battleships.
The ship was parked here for several days, waiting for technicians to repair the damage and restore the void shield and Geller's stance.
The medi-sisters worked hard to treat several seriously injured navigators. Until they recovered, the ship would not enter the warp.
Soon, the galaxy alarm attracted Yifeng's fleet.
Our chapter leader thought that some blind alien had sneaked in here - the former defense line of the Tau, so he drove over in the Dawn Light.
As the battle barge stormed out from Mandeville Point, the nuns shouted Emperor's blessing, thinking they were saved.
Yifeng shouted bad luck and didn't know whether to eliminate these people.
All nuns are 100% devout to the idea that the Emperor is God.
Especially the Battle Sisters.
The combat effectiveness of these people is a mystery. They wear mortal versions of power armor, and the force feedback mechanism of the armor gives them superhuman strength.
That's it, no surgery or strengthening, just long-term training so that they can wear force feedback armor.
Relying solely on your faith in the Emperor to increase your fighting power. If the Emperor watches you, you are a living saint. If you can catch up, or become someone like Celestine, who has two wings and is full of light, holding a flaming sword and fighting against all enemies everywhere. A fierce man who is singled out by demons.
The Emperor doesn't care about you. Your combat power may not be as strong as that of the Sun Auxiliary. A small group of nuns can be used as Astartes.
For these girls to be thrown here, well... did the emperor see it or not?
There were also a large number of wounded people disembarking from the battleship. The hospital was originally relocated, and the wounded who had not been fully treated also came with them. There were all the Astra Militarum (except Krieger).
The leader was Anna, a high-ranking nun from the Saint's Monastery. Originally, this was just a simple escort mission. They were all preparing to support the imperial troops after arriving at the front line, but they did not expect that something happened halfway.
After completing this mission, Anna had enough experience and prestige to try to become an apostle. Unexpectedly, something went wrong halfway.
"Hello, respected nuns." It was Xiaolan who spoke. Yifeng obviously wasn't suitable to appear here with a big shield on his back, so Xiaolan did it for him.
(At this time, three hundred recruits are being beaten by the battle leader)
"Emperor's blessing, great angel, we are from the Sixth Holy Hospital of the Third Logistics Team of the Sixth Expeditionary Fleet in the Storm Star Territory. We are undergoing a hospital relocation mission. My name is Anlianna." The senior nun said to Xiaolan A courtesy gesture.
"Hello, we are the ninth company of the Red Torrent Chapter. I am Xiaolan and I am performing a special mission. Why are you here? This should not be the direction of your expedition."
"We were attacked by traitors and separated from the main force. The navigators suffered heavy casualties. With the blessing of the Emperor, great angels, we escaped from danger and met you."
"The Emperor bless you, loyal nuns. We will escort you back to the world of the Empire, but we cannot guarantee that you will be sent to where you should go. You will need to go on your own for the rest of the journey."
Xiaolan is very vigilant. No one stipulates that enemies cannot disguise themselves as battle nuns to launch an invasion. The best way is to let some professionals come to investigate.
The senior nun was a little unhappy at this time, and she couldn't decide to pay attention. She had never heard of this war group, and she couldn't help but have a little doubt.
Then she saw the Emperor's other hand, and a Sister of Silence stepped out.
"Ina, here! Let me introduce you, this is Senior Sister Anna, and this is Sister Ina Silence." As soon as Xiaolan finished speaking, Ina made a series of gestures and introduced herself in the version of Sister Silence. .
Anna was instantly relieved that the Crimson Torrent Battle Group was definitely one of her own, but she couldn't help but have a trace of doubt.
Xiaolan spoke first, "Please don't expose our identities. Don't tell anyone about the special mission the Emperor has given us. This is top secret."
"You have never been here. No Astartes have ever been here. Do you understand?"
Anna's stargazer reported that this is the Far Eastern Star Territory, a remote area outside the Emperor's Star Torch, and should belong to the territory of a foreign race.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty." Anna was filled with endless curiosity, but she controlled her desires. Now she wanted to carry out her mission and bring these troops back to the rear of the main battlefield.
The fleets of both sides set off again, but the difference is that now "I am among you, and you are among me."
Ina and several Astartes arrived on the opposite battleship to "strengthen their defenses", while Anna was invited to the Dawnlight battle barge.
Xiaolan has led the recruit company for too long and has developed a bad habit of always trying to collect information.
His tone was a bit questioning, which made Anna feel a little uncomfortable.
"Sister, can you tell us the main situation of the current expedition? We have been outside the Emperor's Star for a long time, and the communication with the Empire is not so stable."
An Lianna glanced at Xiaolan, and Xiaolan continued: "We are the sons of Chagatai Khan."
"Yes, my dear Khan Xiaolan, I will repeat everything I have heard, for the sake of the Emperor."
