Chapter 28 New tasks and new toys
The storm bird on the return trip was still bumpy as usual.
Talal looked sideways at Fu Qihai beside him, and asked, "So, what's wrong with that woman?"
Fu Qihai said: "She killed a member of the Midnight Lord, using the same method as you. I guess this is the reason why the Midnight Lord caused massacres in the city."
"Oh." Talal nodded, turned his head and said nothing more.
A mortal woman, even by surprise assassination, can kill a soldier of the Astartes Legion, very brave.
Can't ask for more from her. That's how Talal sees it.
…………
The changes brought to the frigate Dagger by this brief landing operation are visible to the naked eye.
Fu Qihai did not participate in the damage control maintenance, but from the smile on Captain Konrad Adenauer's face, it can be seen that after this wave of replenishment, the condition of the frigate has improved a bit.
And the most intuitive feeling for Fu Qihai is that what was placed on the dinner plate in front of him was finally no longer a bowl of battered special rations for space fighters—a kind of amino porridge mixed with ceramic balls, but a whole meal. A roasted Glockos hind leg.
Fu Qihai picked up this hind leg, which was almost as big as a power battle axe, and didn't know where to start.
I randomly found a place where I could put my mouth, and bit into it, the gravy overflowed. The feeling of the teeth cutting off the muscle fibers quickly brought a good taste. The chef of the frigate properly smoked and roasted to retain the moisture in the meat.
A large piece of bloody meat was torn off by Fu Qihai, he chewed it twice and swallowed it.
Fu Qihai tasted the meat of this creature carefully. It was a bit like the curry fried crocodile meat he ate when he was traveling in Vietnam in his previous life. foot.
The taste of reptile meat is indeed a little different.
Glocks is a kind of livestock similar to big dinosaurs. It is also a close relative of crocodiles. It is widely raised in various agricultural worlds of the human empire. Its meat production is large and delicious. The world will cut off part of their brain tissue to control their violent and aggressive temperament.
The space warriors were feasting, and soon, Talal stood up, sat down next to Fu Qihai, and asked:
"How is it, Qingshan, how does it feel to play for the first time?"
Fu Qihai shook his head and said, "It's not that good, I don't feel as happy as beating Albus Lang in the training cage."
Albus Lang, who was buried in the meat opposite him, raised his head: "Who are you beating again?"
Talal laughed, patted Fu Qihai on the shoulder, and said: "An indigenous planet that has just been cleaned up is indeed not as strong as a training cage, but don't worry, we have entered the war zone, and we will meet real enemies soon gone."
Before he finished speaking, he heard Wo Kuotai's loud voice on the radio:
"Space Warriors, assemble in the war room!"
The space warriors at the dinner table got up one after another.
…………
war room.
A messy belt of meteorites appeared on the holographic projection in the middle of the table.
Wo Kuotai didn't talk nonsense. Seeing that everyone was coming, he swiped his finger to zoom in on the projection, and two spaceships appeared in the meteorite belt.
Connected together in a strange posture.
Captain Konrad Adenauer was the first to say: "We have received a distress signal from one of the two spacecraft and have locked their position."
"Pirates?" Talal asked, frowning, looking at the holographic image in front of him.
"Very likely." Conrad Adenauer nodded, "But we heard some other information in the distress signal."
As he spoke, he tapped on the desktop, and a recording sounded intermittently:
"Zizi...Zi...help, I am the Imperial Merchant Ship...Val...Zi...Long, we have been attacked by pirates, I am the captain..."
"The other side has... zip... Psykers... wizards, above the throne... what do I see, melee wizards wielding daggers? They're killing my crew..."
The speech ends here.
A melee wizard wielding a dagger? Everyone in the war room looked at each other.
"Ahem..." Wo Kuotai coughed lightly on the wheelchair, and said, "First of all, we can be sure that there are unregistered and illegal psykers in the pirate ship. As for how they decide to fight, that is not up to us." question to consider."
All kinds of psykers have appeared in the human empire, and some of them are extremely dangerous, but generally speaking, psykers are not known for their physical fitness or physical strength. Will fight with people in close quarters.
Especially veterans like Wo Kuotai and Talar, who had participated in suppressing the riots of psykers, knew that if the space warriors were allowed to get close to within three meters, the psykers would almost die.
At this time Talar glanced at Wo Kuotai, Wo Kuotai understood what he meant, waved his hands and said:
"Our first task is to escort Master Quinto to Mars. Although these two ships are blocking our way, it is not our job to eliminate space pirates."
"But the bird divination instrument shows that there is another spaceship that jumped to the vicinity an hour ago and is coming here. There is a high probability that it is a warship, so..."
Wo Kuotai suddenly looked at Fu Qihai, and said in a deep voice: "Qingshan! I will send you to use the torpedo to jump to the merchant ship to find out the situation, and set up a teleportation beacon to teleport the Terminator Tactical Dreadnought Armor up if necessary. "
Fu Qihai, who was suddenly cueed, was taken aback, and hurriedly stood up to answer.
Teleportation, that's right, this is the correct way for the Terminator to teleport on the battlefield. It was not the normal way to use this heavy and slow tactical armor to let the Terminator run with its legs on the planet Moradigan before. It is the conventional way to project technology to the frontline battlefield.
Teleportation is not unconditional, and a teleportation beacon needs to be set up in advance by scouts, mortal auxiliaries, or other Astartes.
If the transmission beacon is inaccurate, there is a high probability that people will be stuck in the wall.
Wo Kuotai continued: "The rest of us are preparing for battle on the frigate, ready to welcome the arrival of that warship."
Talar frowned and asked, "We can't hide..."
Conrad Adenauer shook his head and said, "No, the other party has already discovered us and sent us a signal asking for identity information."
After finishing speaking, the black-bearded man with a bitter face added: "That's a Lunar-class cruiser."
The important thing is the following sentence.
Lunar-class cruiser, the standard main battleship of the Imperial Navy, with a length of five kilometers and a crew of more than 90,000. The numerous macro guns, light spear layout arrays and torpedo tubes on the ship have far surpassed a series of light cruisers in terms of positioning. , not to mention the ancient broad-bladed frigate such as the "Short Sword".
The most important thing is that cruisers are famous for their speed in terms of positioning. If the Lunar cruiser wants to chase, the Dagger will not be able to escape at all.
Talal nodded, understood, Wo Kuotai sent the new recruit Fu Qihai to deal with the pirate problem, and all the main space fighters stayed to deal with the Lunar cruiser, indicating that the key to the problem was not the pirate ship, but was attracted by the distress signal The Lunar class cruiser.
Wo Kuotai said: "Everyone take their places, Qingshan, take your new toy and go to the torpedo tube to stand by."
Everyone should be up.
