Chapter 180 Hive City Shuffle
In low Earth orbit, inside the frigate Lady Luck.
The frigate started its sublight engine and just forcibly left the spaceport. Before it could fly far, a fierce battle broke out inside.
Due to the existence of black technology such as void shields, jump gangs and anti-bounce gangs have always been a permanent part of space naval battles in the Warhammer 40K universe, and are even regarded by many space warrior commanders as the solution to all space naval battles.
In a narrow cabin where there is no way to deploy aircraft, artillery, tanks and other heavy firepower, in this special environment, the role and power of super individual soldiers like humanoid tanks like Space Marines are magnified geometrically. , which is why many people feel that Space Marines jump into gangs when they are in doubt.
Using naval guns to bombard the enemy does not reflect the advantages of the Space Marines. Using gang-hopping tactics is to use one's own strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses.
Dancing is the answer to all problems.
From all aspects, the Spartans can be regarded as a small space warrior. They also have biochemical modifications, powered armor, and rigorous training.
Therefore, when Koshvito broke into the frigate, he was like a tiger jumping into a flock of sheep, rampaging through the cabin, unstoppable and unstoppable.
Five sailors set up an ambush at the corner of the passage. These men, whose missing arms and legs were all replaced with mechanical prostheses, looked like they were good at joining gangs and seizing ships.
They listened quietly to the thumping of footsteps on the floor from far to near. When Koshvito came running wildly, the five of them appeared together and greeted the Spartans with an overwhelming volley of shotguns.
"Bang!"
“Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding!”
Small projectiles bounced off the black Mjolnir assault power armor, at most scraping off a little of the coating. Koshvito jumped up and punched.
"Snapped!"
Five sailors were knocked away.
Several subsequent laser shots completely penetrated the five people.
Koshvito stopped, turned around, and said to the gang behind him:
"Booz, you separate from us, Hulda is with you, you two go through the battleship pipeline, pacify the crew brotherhood on the lower deck, try to persuade them to rebel, tell them that the Thorndike family has become a traitor, and the frigate is going to be invaded by the Space Marines. The Legion has taken over, and the worst we can do is not let the Sons of the Void take part in the siege against us."
The battleships in the Warhammer 40K universe are large in size and have large crews. The Sword-class frigate can carry 26,000 people. It is impossible for seventeen people to kill them all, and it will never be possible to kill them all. Who will kill them all? Maintain the normal operation of this battleship?
If you want to convince the crew of the frigate to surrender, you can't rely on an unknown gang. Is it reasonable to let the privateer fleet of Rogue Traders follow you, a bullshit Spartan gang? Kirshvitto had already thought of using the name of Space Marines to make trouble. This name was very loud in the human empire and was enough to force the wavering crew to recognize the situation.
In the half-open hatch next to it, a power sword dripping with blood floated out in mid-air. The light and shadow blurred and flickered. Hulda, wearing semi-powered penetrating armor, emerged from the invisible state.
Buz tore off the cloth cover on his head, revealing a face with sparse hair and pale blue. He put the laser sniper rifle on his shoulder, nodded solemnly and said:
"Understood, sir!"
After saying that, he led Hulda, who had re-entered the invisible state, opened a hidden valve for inspection and maintenance, and got into the pipeline of the frigate.
Kirshvitto said:
"The rest of you, follow me, let's capture the bridge!"
"Yes, sir!"
The "Hell Paratroopers" responded with a bang.
…
Fu Qinghai, who put on the Blue Shell power armor again, took off the damaged helmet and threw it aside. After putting on his three-piece sword and gun set, he walked out of the conference room.
Cyril came forward.
Fu Qinghai said calmly:
"Baron Zeddu launched a coup, which I suppressed. The patriarchs of the major families are all dead. Lieutenant Colonel Cyril, you will temporarily act as the patriarch of the Sommerfeld family and also serve as the planetary governor. Is there any problem?"
The middle-aged officer was stunned for several seconds before nodding hurriedly:
"No problem, sir."
At the meeting just now, in addition to the patriarchs of the five major families, there were also representatives of some small families. They all died in the crossfire, including Valentin Sommerfeld.
"No... Sir, I'm not dead yet..."
A weak groan came from behind, and the three of them turned around to see a short, fat man slowly crawling out from under the conference table. He was covered in blood, one of his legs disappeared, and his intestines were dragged all over the floor.
The patriarch of the Cronin family?
Fu Qinghai was slightly stunned. He recalled that the fat man had said before that the Cronin family was also loyal to the emperor.
Fine.
Fu Qinghai told Cyril:
"Get him back."
…
The armed sailors on the frigate are equipped with a large number of shotguns. Compared with laser guns that shoot accurately from long distances, shotguns are more favored by them and can quickly spread death and blood throughout the entire fan-shaped area.
But this low-speed, unrifled, pump-fed weapon is as lethal as scratching an itch for Spartan warriors.
Koshvito also has very rich experience in gang-hopping combat. After he boarded the battleship, he did not use powerful weapons such as sticky detonators. Damage to the internal structure of the battleship caused by the explosion was a trivial matter. If the hull was accidentally damaged, Being sucked into space would be great fun.
At the same time, with the route map provided by Buz, the inner ghost, the intricate internal passages of the Lady Luck were not a problem for Koshvito. According to the shortest path planned in advance, Koshvito led the team straight to the bridge.
A sailor with his face covered in blood cried and ran into the bridge, rolled and crawled a few steps, threw himself in front of the captain with a "pop" and shouted:
"Help, it's the Space Marines. The Space Marines are here. We can't fight them. Surrender, Captain!"
Parked at the space port for a long time, most of the crew of the Lady Luck have gone down to the hive. There are only a few crew members on duty and the Sons of the Void who have never left the ship. At this moment, there are only a few members of the Thorndike family left on the bridge. The die-hard elite, armed with power swords and plasma guns, protect the captain in the middle.
The captain looked at the sailor lying at his feet and said angrily:
"Don't sway the morale of the military here. I saw the surveillance. That's not a Space Marine at all. It's at most... it's a mini Space Marine at most!"
"Bang!"
The hatch was kicked open.
"Who the hell is a mini-Space Marine? Tell me clearly, I'm a Spartan!"
Koshvito strode into the bridge, and several plasma guns were instantly aimed at him.
A group of gang members rushed in behind them, and the laser gun was aimed at the captain and others on the console, causing a confrontation.
Outside the cabin door, crew members were still pouring in. The captain saw crew members wearing the uniforms of engineers, repairmen, gunners and even prison guards appearing behind the black-armored warriors. He was shocked and angry, pointing at the crowd. said angrily:
"You...you actually dare to betray a Rogue Trader family. There will no longer be a place for you in the entire star region!"
"No, you betrayed the emperor first. There is no place for the Thorndike family in the entire empire."
Koshvito said calmly.
This is what Fu Qinghai taught him.
The words just fell.
"puff!"
A sharp knife was stabbed out of the captain's chest. The blood instantly dyed the exquisite captain's uniform red. The sailor standing behind raised his hand to wipe the blood from his face, revealing his strange white and blue skin.
"Do you remember me, Master Kexi?"
Buz said with a cold voice and gritted teeth.
The heart-breaking pain spread throughout Kathy Thorndike's body. On his deathbed, he recognized this child of the void dressed as a sailor.
"It's you!"
Buz turned the hilt of the knife in his hand, stirring it in the chest of his enemy. He glared hatefully at the captain who slowly knelt down, enjoying his unblinking eyes.
The family private soldiers around the captain quickly turned their guns and were about to kill Butz. At the moment when the trigger of the plasma gun was pulled, the transparent light and shadow flashed, and an invisible force kicked the side of the gun. The muzzle of the gun deflected, and the blue plasma beam shot through another private soldier.
"Biu, Biu, Biu!"
The Spartans under the console aimed and fired at the same time, and the red laser killed the remaining private soldiers.
The only people still standing on the bridge console were Buz, who was breathing heavily, and Hulda, who emerged from his invisible state.
Done!
Koshvito secretly clenched his fists, feeling excited, and stepped over the corpse and stepped onto the console.
He looked around at the dense communication arrays, auspicious arrays, weapons control arrays, information stacks and cogitator matrices.
And the crew under the console who were looking at him eagerly.
The frigate is here!
Kirshvitto let out a small breath.
At this time, a rune lit up on the screen next to the console, and a beep sounded on the instrument.
Um? What's the meaning?
Kirshvitto looked at the equipment suspiciously.
"Sir, that is a communication request."
Under the console, a crew member saw the Spartan's doubts and boldly prompted.
Communication request?
Is it the Thorndike family in the surface hive?
Koshvito narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his hand and clicked the button.
A holographically projected bust lit up on the equipment.
It was Fu Qinghai without a helmet.
The two looked at each other for a moment.
Fu Qinghai smiled and said:
"Kosh, you really succeeded in capturing the frigate."
Koshvito also smiled and said:
"Qingshan, you have indeed settled the nest."
Fu Qinghai was standing on a high steel suspension bridge at this time, with a servitor holding instruments and equipment standing in front of him. It was through this communication equipment that Fu Qinghai communicated with the frigate.
"I am doing some final finishing work. I have already taken care of the top of the tower. Soon, the five major families in the Schwerin Hive will become a page-turning chapter in history."
Fu Qinghai said to the communication equipment.
At this time, a private soldier of the Sommerfeld family ran over quickly, approached Fu Qinghai and whispered:
"My lord, only the body of Astropath was found in the Great Library. She had committed suicide."
Suicide?
Fu Qinghai raised his head and looked at the honeycomb structure building that the steel suspension bridge led to. The ancient relic building was like a black tombstone in the hive city. It was unknown how many witchcraft and secret scrolls from the dark technological age were buried inside.
Should the Great Library be destroyed?
Fu Qinghai frowned and pondered for a while, and finally ordered:
"Seal the Great Library and no one is allowed to enter without my permission."
"Yes, sir."
The family's private soldiers took the order and left.
Fu Qinghai took one last look at the building, turned around, and was about to continue talking to Koshvito. Suddenly, an unexpected third-party communication request appeared on their screens at the same time.
Um? what's the situation?
Fu Qinghai and Koshvito looked at each other and pressed the button at the same time.
Communication access.
The signal quality was very poor and seemed to come from a very far away place. The two waited patiently for a few seconds. Accompanied by the buzzing noise, the flickering and blurry holographic projection had not yet been fully formed. A lazy voice came in advance:
"This is the Ice Storm Detachment of the Fifth Company of the Space Wolves Legion, the hive world of Schwerin. Planetary Governor Otis Sommerfeld, please make your position clear to us immediately."
The holographic projection gradually took shape, and a fierce man wearing power armor, with brown-red hair and a beard so thick that it was braided, appeared on the equipment.
The first time he saw Fu Qinghai, his casual eyes suddenly changed. He carefully stared at the lightning eagle wing emblem on Fu Qinghai's chest and said in surprise:
"Holy shit, white scars?"
