Chapter 24 Scars
Personal rest cabin and bathroom.
Fu Qihai dipped a sharp knife into the black viscous liquid in the bowl, faced the mirror, and made gestures on his face.
Where should I go?
Fu Qihai looked at his handsome face in the mirror, and was a little bit hesitant to do it.
Think carefully about the handsome guy with scars on his face that he knows.
Ribery, the scarred man, scratched from the corner of his eye to his mouth? The person was injured accidentally, and he himself is not handsome.
Hatake Kakashi, through the entire eye socket? The eyelids are so thin, what should I do if the eyeballs are poisoned and blinded.
Harry Potter, a Z on your forehead? What if I went to the J.K. Rowling universe and was mistakenly killed by the men with the bald head and no nose.
After thinking about it, Fu Qihai finally made a shallow cut on the middle of his tall nose bridge.
As soon as the black mucus on the blade touched the skin, there was a small hissing sound, and white smoke rose from the wound.
Facing such flesh-and-corrosion pain, Fu Qihai, who was mentally prepared, just frowned.
The movement of holding the knife in the hand is still stable and precise, without being affected in the slightest.
After the scar was drawn, Fu Qihai looked at himself in the mirror and nodded in satisfaction.
...
The next day, Wo Kuotai frowned, looked at Fu Qihai's shallow scar on the bridge of his nose with displeasure, and said:
"What, are you afraid of pain?"
Fu Qihai chuckled, scratched his head without explaining, he knew that Wo Kuotai would not be entangled in such trivial matters.
Wo Kuotai said unhappily:
"Come to the war room with me."
The two came to the small war room, which was empty.
Wo Kuotai sat down casually and motioned to Fu Qihai to find a seat as well.
"Qingshan, you are now an official member of us. I know that you have many questions in your heart. Regarding the goal of our operation this time, I can also reveal to you what happened before."
Fu Qihai nodded.
Wo Kuotai leaned back in his chair and said slowly: "This has to start with the battleship we broke away from the Death Guard from the Kondax galaxy..."
It turns out that Wo Kuotai and his company, the Falcon Brotherhood, have more Terran members who are interested in the Warmaster. The number of members was severely reduced during the White Scars Civil War that broke out in the outer orbit of Prospero. A full company, the Primarch Jaghatai Khan assigned a secret mission to it——
Break away from the Grand Fleet, take a frigate alone, and escort Master Quinto, a geneticist and biological sage, to Mars.
This is why there are no other White Scars fleets in the outer orbits of the planet Cheslatan.
After the Battle of Ullanor in 544.M32, there were not many large-scale battles between humans and Orcs, and more of them were purification operations against local planets, and the warmaster sent them to the remote Condax galaxy The White Scars were the last legion that had a chance to fight the Orcs on a large scale.
The Mechanic Cult of Mars attaches great importance to the Ork Orcs, an alien race that once posed a major threat to the empire, and has been researching and finding ways to restrain the orcs from multiplying. Quinto Anastasio was specially dispatched by the Mechanic Cult An expert in aliens who studied Orcs in the Kondax galaxy.
And all of this was disrupted with the arrival of the Horus Rebellion.
Rebellion and counter-rebellion have become the top priority of all legions, including of course Mars, which is also caught in the civil war.
As for why he escorted Master Kunto to Mars, Wo Kuotai was not clear.
Fu Qihai recalled the factions of bigwigs and scholars in the scientific research circle of the Earth academic circle in his previous life. He guessed that Master Kunto was not alone on Mars, he must have his own disciples in the Mechanicus, and he himself supported the Emperor Perhaps Jaghatai Khan wanted to use his influence on Mars to tip the balance of victory to the loyalists a little bit.
Whatever it is, protecting the emperor is not my job as a recruit, Fu Qihai thought to himself.
"And then?" Fu Qihai continued to ask, he was more interested in what happened next.
Wo Kuotai took a deep breath and said: "When we were sailing to this galaxy, the auspicious array array suddenly detected the signal of the Son of Horus, a lone Firestorm-class frigate, heading towards the star map. An agricultural planet marked 17-974 is heading towards..."
Then Wokuotai came up.
The loss of brothers in the White Scars Civil War made this man heartbroken, a full two-thirds of the number of attrition, and he never lost so many space fighters in the Kondax galaxy when facing Orcs ten times his size.
Not to mention, these warriors did not die in glorious battle, but in a rebellion that dishonored the Legion.
Ogedei blamed all this on the rebellion of the Sons of Horus.
Talal advised him many times to focus on the task first, but Wo Kuotai insisted on giving the traitors some color.
As a frigate, the Firestorm-class frigate has a size and firepower configuration far exceeding that of the Broadblade-class frigate (the Dagger is the Broadblade), and everyone on the Dagger knows at a glance that they cannot fight space naval battles.
Not to mention that there is an important figure, Master Quinto, on board. Even if Quinto is not considered, compared to the number of light spears and macro cannon arrays, there is a high probability that the Space Sea Battle Dagger cannot beat the Flamestorm-class frigate of the Son of Horus.
So Wo Kuotai, the leader, made a bold decision. He handed over the command of the Dagger to Talar, and personally led a tactical team to carry out torpedo jumping!
This is the choice of many Space Marine Corps when fighting space and naval battles with a small and broad.
But it is also very dangerous. The danger of torpedo jumping far exceeds tactics such as orbital airborne, and it can be called the combat operation with the highest death rate.
A torpedo without charge can carry two space fighters. After launching, it has to pass through the blockade of multiple laser arrays and macro artillery arrays, and insert it precisely into the enemy ship. Fight your way out of the siege and destroy the power core of the enemy ship.
This process sounds fraught with difficulties.
Another thing to mention: there is no recovery device for boarding torpedoes.
Therefore, unless the enemy ship can be completely captured, the torpedo jump gang is basically a death-defying battle with no return.
But Wo Kuotai succeeded, even though he paid the price of the death of all members of the tactical team and the loss of his own legs.
At that time, the Dagger frigate took advantage of its first-hand advantage in detecting the opponent, hiding in the asteroid belt outside the planet Cheslatan, quietly approaching the frigate of the Son of Horus, and suddenly broke out when the opponent was about to release the landing craft. Hit the opponent by surprise.
But he fired a few random shots, then slipped away after firing the torpedo, slipped back to the asteroid belt and hid, and waited for the result of the tactical team led by Wo Kuotai.
The warships of the White Scars Legion were specially modified by the Mechanicus in accordance with the requirements of the Primarch Jaghatai Khan. Part of the configuration of ammunition and firepower was reduced, and the output power of the engines was increased. The legion is fast, which is very suitable for raids.
After Wo Kuotai and others desperately destroyed the power core of the Flamestorm-class frigate, the frigate fell into the atmosphere under the pull of the planet's gravity.
It was located in the space above the colonial stronghold, and landed not far from the Riches Ratan colonial stronghold.
That's what happened next.
Fu Qihai finally understood.
It's really twists and turns.
Just as he was talking, other space fighters came in one after another.
After everyone was seated, Wo Kuotai on the wheelchair said in a deep voice:
"Everyone, just now Marco Van Leer gave me the news that the subspace storm covering this area has weakened, and it is expected that subspace jumps will be possible within the next two weeks."
Hearing this, the soldiers of Baiscar were stunned for a moment, and then cheered.
After two years of drifting in the vast and empty universe, I can finally speed up.
Wo Kuotai also smiled, and continued:
"Compared to the subspace storm covering the entire star area, this is just a gap, but by seizing this short gap, we can quickly approach our destination. We are getting closer and closer to the area where the traitors are intensively active. Everyone, do Get ready."
Everyone should be one after another.
"Let's go." Wo Kuotai patted Fu Qihai and walked out of the war room.
