Chapter 77 The remnants
Chapter 77 The remnants
"Hello, great Emperor's Angel, respected Captain Yifeng!"
"Hello, defender of the empire, the most indispensable force of mankind..."
............
The long wrangling process made Yifeng very uncomfortable. She didn't know what the old captain wanted to do. It seemed that he had been talking for a long time but didn't say anything important at all.
"These great deeds will forever be engraved in the history of the Empire. Our exploits will never be forgotten."
"You're right. I'm very sorry. I have something else to do, so I'll excuse you now."
"Captain Yifeng, let's... well, don't leave."
Yifeng immediately hung up the communication and was added to the blacklist (no).
You can’t tell the difference between the big and the small kings. Do you think you are the leader? Do you think we have a lot of time?
Although there was no communication, the battle barge moved directly towards the Imperial Navy. All its navigators were killed, and they had to get a few from Captain Silft.
Naturally, the old friends were filled with emotion when they met. It really surprised Yifeng that the captain of the Ancient Mystery had not retired yet. Judging from the answer from the Ministry of Military Affairs, the old captain was probably going to die in this post.
"Long time no see, brother Siloft. It seems that I have been worrying a lot lately. I have lost a lot of hair."
Not only that, but the silver-haired old man is going to be bald.
"I'm very happy to see you, Captain Yifeng. All my worries are gone when I see you. Thank you very much for your group's willingness to come to support the Hazy Star Territory. Perhaps your joining can allow more humans to Survive the war that raged across the galaxy."
"Brother Siloft, although I would like to say that we have enough strength to come to support, unfortunately, this is not the case. We just followed the predictions of the think tank and went here after all the navigators died suddenly."
"The Emperor favors you, and you can escape safely from the strange subspace."
"No, in comparison, I think the Emperor favors you more. Our battle group has already 'taken the initiative' to support you twice."
This is really true. Yifeng seriously doubts that the emperor deliberately asked them to help the old captain.
When Siloft heard that Yifeng still had no plans to leave the mountain, he was inevitably disappointed, but he was still grateful that this powerful warrior was willing to fight side by side with the Imperial Navy.
The Panova system was successfully recovered, and everyone contributed a lot.
"Captain Silft, what are your next actions?"
"According to common sense, we should go back to repair, but now it is estimated that a transport ship from the Adeptus Mechanicus can send us some ammunition. It will be the Emperor's blessing. We need to rush to the next system immediately. Do you want to come with us?"
"Let's forget it. We suffered heavy casualties in this battle and need time to rest. Look, what has become of my flagship, the battle barge Solemn Alert?"
"We respect your choice, but we still hope that your warriors will join our operations."
"Captain Silft, I am willing to send... ten soldiers to assist you in other operations. This is our goodwill."
Siloft was helpless. Indeed, the troops "displayed" by the opponent now were only a little more than one company, so it was a great honor to be willing to separate into a group.
"Of course, brother Siloft, we still have something we want to ask you to help with. When we came here, all the navigators had died suddenly. I hope you can give us a few navigators."
"This matter is not a problem, I make the decision...just a moment." Adjutant Vinash suddenly appeared, bringing another issue that the battleship captain wanted to discuss with Yifeng.
"Uh, this..." Siloft was a little embarrassed to say, "Captain Yifeng, the navy hopes to add a little more of their fighting style in the war records. You see... "
"Our application for the formation of the Chapter has not been approved yet, and there are no official supplies..."
"Captain Yifeng, don't worry, we will do our best to facilitate this matter." Siloft understood now, everyone's interests were exchanged, we boasted about how brave the Red Torrent Chapter fought, and the report they submitted was written by the Imperial Navy How loyal and resist the enemy.
Everyone is happy.
——————————————————————————————————
On the lower level of the warship, technical sergeants and Mechanicus personnel are making emergency repairs to the warship. These areas that were completely destroyed by the enemy have been temporarily sealed by armor plates so that they can be brought to the Mechanicus for repairs. The areas that have been jumped are the focus of attention. There's no guarantee there aren't a few stuck Noise Warriors out there.
Anos also wanted to check the machine souls of the Titans and Emperor's Baneblade tanks. He felt that he had not had a good rest since he came to this chapter.
"Sergeant Anos, can I take a break? I've been working for 38 hours."
The mortals around him couldn't stand it. Even if they were strengthened through biochemical surgery, they couldn't stand such a long period of high-intensity work.
But the mortal leader of the mechanical group was frightened when he saw it. It wasn't the corrosion of lazy desire, so he wanted to pull him out and check it out.
"Work harder and find the air leak here. Let's seal it and rest." Anos didn't look back and concentrated on repairing the battleship.
The great pharmacist kept urging Anos to finish the repairs and set off quickly. What if there is no one in the recruit tank? Doesn't this affect my internship as a trainee pharmacist...Will the development of the war group be affected? Go back and recruit troops quickly.
Anos originally wanted to say a few words, but then something happened where Yifeng was stabbed into a hedgehog, so he worked overtime and worked like a 24-hour worker.
"Found it, here!" The last air leakage hole was blocked. From the inside, various sealing iron plates and patches were cast into the gap like green leather creations.
The work was professional and the finished product is waaaaaagh.
After the mortal who came to help got Anos's permission, he fell asleep within a second and lay in a large area. If the sound interaction was turned off, it would be like a morgue.
As soon as Anos left, he found that the road ahead collapsed and he needed special equipment to deal with it.
Anos returned to the "morgue" and everyone was snoring. The restless people of the Mechanicus had already gone to other areas, and Anos walked quietly past everyone.
Suddenly, Anos felt something was wrong. Although he was still walking normally, the rear camera installed on his body had quietly rotated.
I remember there were two people lying there. Where did the first few who lay down go?
The weapon mode has been activated, and the mechanical arm behind Anos can transfer the weapon to his hand at any time.
The sharp claws struck from unexpected places and intersected with the mechanical arm, creating a large number of sparks.
The tactical knife rolled into Anos's right hand, and his left hand held the knife handle, piercing the sneaker's head.
The mechanical arm shook, and the blade ejected from it pierced the followers of Slaanesh who tried to use engineering equipment to attack Anos.
Trivia: I am the person with the second most combat experience in the whole group, and the person with the most experience is sleeping.
The followers of Slaanesh have still infiltrated the battleship and must report to Chapter Master Yifeng immediately.
On the Dawn Light, Yifeng, who was chatting happily with Siloft, received the emergency communication and immediately organized the Astartes to start working.
The banquet did not stop, and the Astartes secretly observed the participants. They began to walk around seemingly casually, going to the kitchen to check on the situation, and going to the lounge to pretend to rest.
A small number of troops went to the Solemn Alert, which had only the smallest crew, and began to investigate one by one. Yifeng walked worriedly with the Sisyphus Think Tank. Slaanesh's invasion warship was not easy to find, and the characteristics of the believers were not obvious.
Sisyphus held the pumpkin hammer and said that he could give it a try. If he only judged the enemy without using psychic flames, he might be able to last longer.
Dawnlight's investigation lasted for three days, and the mortals were unaware of it, but the Astartes had secretly captured several Slaanesh followers who had sneaked over from the Serious Vigilance.
"Captain Yifeng, the investigation of the Dawn Light has been completed and no pollution has been found. However, several warehouses on the Solemn Alert are suspected to have pollution sources. Please give us your instructions."
"Stand back and let the Astartes handle it."
The soldiers of the Atonement Company are not interested in the grand banquet, and the current sideshow is very suitable for them.
The two remaining believers were hiding on the deck, and the Solemn Alert was being comprehensively screened. They had already lost a lot of manpower, but as long as they survived this round and the enemy relaxed their vigilance, they would rule the world.
The purpose of followers of Slaanesh is very, very simple, which is to satisfy their own desires. Is their desire to fight?
Not at all. So as soon as their jump ship crashes into the battle barge, they take cover, always aiming to take advantage of the enemy's slack.
Mortal warriors walked under them, and the blessed believers could easily control their bodies without making any breathing sound, and even the sound of their heartbeats could be minimized.
The mortal warriors looked around warily. It was impossible for them to deal with the demons of Slaanesh, but it was much easier to deal with those cowardly believers.
The tall warrior at the head was holding a melt gun in both hands. His tense muscles and slight drops of sweat all showed that he was in an extremely nervous state.
The intermittent lights in the passage and the sound of mechanical friction coming from nowhere made the whole atmosphere even more terrifying.
The broken cables on the side were still sizzling, and the maintenance staff had no time to deal with these minor problems now.
Following the tall warrior were two warriors holding large thrust swords. For mortals, power swords and chainswords were only available to senior officers. They could only use standard bayonets or special equipment.
The two warriors were on alert, ready to stab through enemies who were not hit by the melt.
The soldiers walked over one after another, and the tense hearts of the Slaanesh believers calmed down slightly. Due to the blessing of subspace, it will become increasingly difficult for them to restrain their desires. If this kind of search lasts for a week, they may not be able to bear it and jump out on their own initiative.
Without any sound or warning, a red-armored giant appeared beneath them.
The heart of the Slaanesh believer beat violently, and then immediately went into sleep.
Sisyphus, who was walking silently, naturally heard the movement, but he was not in a hurry. The spiritual energy in his hand escaped slightly and was injected into the pumpkin hammer.
His vision instantly changed to the perspective of an evil god, as if he had entered a higher dimension.
Unspeakable colors shone faintly above Sisyphus's head. These colors that have not been named by humans seem difficult to understand, but Sisyphus clearly knows that these are the colors of Slaanesh's power.
There seemed to be no enemies around for hundreds of meters.
Sisyphus put away his strength. As long as he did not use attack methods, simple detection methods did not exhaust his spiritual energy to the point of fainting, but he still breathed heavily.
Then he swung the pumpkin hammer forcefully and smashed the ceiling and the Slaanesh followers together.
Four days later, the Primaris soldiers assured Yifeng that the entire Solemn Alert was clean and absolutely free of bugs.
The Imperial Navy was still fighting bravely on the planet, but the soldiers of the Red Torrent had no time to waste and immediately entered the subspace to return home.
Although the Imperial Navy has some complaints about this, who cares?
The Think Tank assists navigators who have never seen their own psychic beacons with navigation guidance.
Emperor's blessing... Without looking at me, the navigators successfully sailed the ship to the planned recruiting planet.
The local ruler cried bitterly when he saw the large army of the Red Torrent Chapter returning, and was so moved that he burst into tears.
My dear Qingtian, you are finally back. Do you know how much we missed you during your absence?
Yifeng was confused by a bunch of communications. What was going on?
It wasn't until after talking to several leaders that Yifeng understood the situation. Four years had passed since his two subspace treks.
Four years is just four years, it’s not like there’s a garrison... it’s broken.
——————————————————————————————————
Let's go back a few years.
"William." Although the graduation of new recruits has been settled for the time being, Yifeng still has something to ask William.
"William, I have an idea, would you like to lead a Space Marine force?"
"What do you mean, Chapter Leader... You can't resign." William almost hugged his legs and cried bitterly, grabbing the ground with his head.
"I mean to ask you to lead a strike cruiser and a company on an expedition... After all, our large force will support the battlefield in the Obscurity Star Territory in the future, and you may be ordered to lead other forces to support other forces from another direction. The battlefield. Of course, your task is not only that, you also have to lead the trainee pharmacists and trainee technical sergeants to recruit soldiers and expand the armament of the battle group."
Hey, William's mental arithmetic has finally come to an end. It turns out that I misunderstood. That is to say, how could I... That's no different from being the leader of a battle group.
What the hell, company commander?
"Chapter Commander, I don't think I'm qualified to take charge of my own business yet..."
"Of course not now. At least we have to wait until the technical sergeants who studied abroad from the Forge World come back. The time has not come yet."
Watching William's leaving figure, Yifeng fell into deep thought, if our entire battle group would never return. So what should the planets in these areas and the Astartes stationed there do? No, you have to make a plan.
Yifeng is very clear about the general thoughts of human beings in this world.
Human beings have very strange characteristics. For example, in the dark ages of mankind, superstitions about gods and Buddhas were everywhere. Suddenly an emperor appeared, insisting on materialism and rationality, and everyone followed him on the Great Expedition.
Large numbers of humans were willing to follow the Emperor because in the darkness they saw light.
Then the Emperor sat on the Golden Throne as he lay dying.
The human world immediately returned to the religious system they were most familiar with, even more crazy because "Light" was sitting in the palace.
He is God, He is hope, and He is the only salvation for mankind.
And this group of people refuse to open their eyes to see the world, or even think, and are just frantically escaping from the crisis they are in now.
This is the same as the twelve planets currently controlled by the Red Torrent Chapter, but the only difference is.
The Astartes hidden on the planet are the living "Emperors". Humans will not say much if the "Emperor" is defeated once. They believe that the "Emperor" will come back to lead them to victory again.
As long as these hidden warriors can be hidden alive, they will be the winner or loser in determining the fate of the planet.
At that time, Yifeng thought about it and made a temporary plan. Several cruiser formations would cruise on these planets and would not accompany Yifeng to the battlefield.
Once the Red Torrent Chapter loses contact for three years, and the number of soldiers stationed on the planet changes from ten to five, cruisers will pick them up until the Adeptus Mechanicus can repair a strike cruiser, and maybe even if there are no apothecaries. Let the warriors choose their own candidates to study with the Mechanicus and the Great Sage of Biology.
Here they will continue to recruit and then expand the army. Restore the number of local left-behind warriors to 10.
Damn it, maybe they will start the battle group restart plan according to the plan.
In fact, it was more thorough. The soldiers who stayed on the planet were immediately organized after the news that the battle group was lost. The cruiser formation quickly picked them up, organized them into a temporary force of 60 people, and then headed to the Mechanicus world.
Nowadays, several trainee pharmacists have been selected. Of course, they are those who have just started studying and are not very talented.
An urgent telegram was sent to all planets, and all the frightened planetary leaders were relieved.
The Second Red Torrent Provisional Battle Group was disbanded.
The soldiers returned to their respective planets, and Yifeng didn't ask anything. It can be said that they did a good job. Except for the fact that they treated Yifeng as if he was dead, they were all very good.
The recruitment of new recruits was held as scheduled. The eighth batch of recruits must be recruited immediately. There is no time for the battle group to conduct a long-lasting recruitment selection. A simple Olympic Games was held to test the will and subspace resistance, and conduct a real-life battle. After the battle royale game, the timeline for the delivery of biological organs was stuck, and 200 candidates were recruited.
Training when it’s time to train, transformation when it’s time to transform, get to work!
This time the battle group suffered heavy losses, with more than 70 people killed. The only "kickback" that could be obtained was one untouchable, and Ina had not received even a little training in combat skills.
Of course, there are some other inputs, such as the Krieg artillery commander kidnapped by the Astartes.
The warrior was always in a state of brain failure, and he still didn't understand what these emperor's angels were going to do, and they actually kidnapped him.
In Yifeng's limited Warhammer knowledge, the artillery of the Krieg Death Corps is one of the best, so he can just tie it over and serve as an instructor for the mortal auxiliary army, even if it is a tank aiming point.
Everyone looked in disbelief as they looked at the "Menghulu" who was about to win the title of the longest-lived soldier of the Krieg Legion.
Chapter leader, what you are doing is a bit too abstract.
I seriously doubt this Krieg soldier suffers from depression.
——————————————————————————————————
After drifting in the universe for a period of time, Paobao successfully arrived at a planet, and then began to occupy it over and over again, mining ores, looting the equipment of the local defenders, killing and eating.
More greenskins make Pao Zhao smarter, and it becomes a huge greenskin warlord. With the promotion of technical work, it can make bigger and more exciting things.
The Ork Space Hammer (Actually, Orks do not have battleship classifications, but the bigger they are, the more powerful they are. Generally, the Hammer is similar to a battleship. It looks like an Ork head, with super cannons in its mouth and chin) and the Battle Moon were all created by cannon blasts. out.
Pao Biao led the boys into the subspace and started a grand waaaaagh.
It appears in the Obscure Star Field, but on the side closer to the Ultimate Star Field.
There was already a huge green-skinned force there, two to be precise, but they were just unified a few years ago.
Greenskins are also divided into clans. They have six clans, each with different specialties.
Some clans are willing to take in some greenskins from other clans, as long as they are willing to serve the greenskin boss as their leader.
Mistempor belongs to the Gough clan. They are the strongest, meanest, and most savage. They are the largest clan among the greenskins. They always think about waaaaagh piercing the enemy, advocating close combat, and are the proper greenskin gods of Khorne. select.
Paobo belongs to the Xie Ri clan. They advocate speed, so many technical masters were born. They constantly transform machinery in pursuit of the fastest speed. They like to paint their vehicles red. They think it is faster because they are determined. Believing in this metaphysical thing, the waaaaagh energy stance responded to them, and painting it red really made it faster!
The Deathskull clan is good at stealing. They are scavengers and a paradise for a large number of mechanic boys. They will fight over a scrapped machine that looks waaaaaaagh. They are also looked down upon by other clans.
The Blood Ax clan is the least green-skinned group of greenskins. They like sneak attacks, camouflage and stealth. They are actually willing to collect information and pay attention to tactics, which is simply not waaaaagh. Many of them are also willing to become mercenaries and accept employment from humans.
The Bad Moon Clan has one characteristic: they are rich, Gaga is rich, and they have long-range firepower coverage. The currency of the greenskins is teeth, and their teeth grow the fastest. They are treacherous merchants, and they are the kind of race that I think I am very lucky, so I am particularly lucky. They belong to all waaaaagh energy points, all points to wealth and Lucky enough.
The last one is the Snakebite Clan, a clan that follows the oldest green-skinned tradition. It is a perverted version of farming society and is good at cultivating various things including poison.
Now the bombardment is the biggest, this greenskin is gradually transforming from the Gough clan to the Evil Sun clan, because the Evil Sun clan is the most common among the newly born greenskins.
When two groups of greenskins met together, there was naturally no concept of peaceful coexistence, not to mention that the other group of greenskins was the most unwaaaaaagh greenskins like the Blood Ax clan.
Go dry.
