Chapter 344 Crab catches cicada, crow follows behind
In the prison of the hive city.
A rickety promethium lamp casts an orange light. Humidity, darkness, fishy smell, orc body fluids, excrement and mutilated limbs... and other filthy filth can be seen everywhere in the corner.
Kalamanda was lowering her head to arrange the utensils in her hands.
He is an executioner who is very good at adapting to local conditions. Captain Nightbat will bring his own interrogation equipment, but he can also make full use of a series of items already on site as a tool to torture and abuse prisoners. The latter is more powerful than the former. Full of unknown fear and exciting challenges.
It's just that in comparison, the Orcs are really not a tough-talking race. Sometimes they don't even need to be punished. They just need some threats and intimidation, and the Orc boys and bastards will shake everything they know out of a bamboo tube. Fall out.
This made Kalamanda feel a little bored.
The fulfillment and satisfaction that work brings is not that strong.
"We, we belong to the Red Sun Mechanical Repair Gang. The great technician of the Evil Sun Clan, Lao Lame, and his technician boy Baozigat and the crazy boy Gao Nibu are the members of the ancient giant 'Big Fat Mao Ge' Construction technicians and pilot crews..."
A fart was crying and said:
"They are participating in the Crimson Waaagh of the 'Face-Tearing' Gangster Gulak. They are going to the iron ring to fight with the shrimp... oh no, humans, we are going to fight in the world of knights. We, we are just passing by here. A drag race.”
"Woooooo, and, and, there are many ambitious tech masters in the Red Waaagh, including Gulak, who is manipulating the entire Waaagh behind the scenes..."
Kalamanda didn't ask a word.
This fart talked about all the relevant and irrelevant things.
Captain Night Bat even found it a bit verbose.
Kalamanda couldn't remember any of these messy orc names. He could only get one piece of information:
The orcs of the Evil Sun Clan are called the "Red Sun Machine Repair Gang", and their war boss is called "Old Lame". He is not in the temporary stronghold, but leads the entire convoy to the satellite city outpost to beat up the Khorne Chaos War Gang.
The original word for Fart is "red can".
Most likely it is the Chaos Warband of Khorne.
"What about the Snakebite clan?"
Kalamanda asked proactively.
"The orcs of the Snakebite clan belong to the Explosive Bone Tribe."
Fart Demon wiped his nose and replied honestly:
"We, the big tech masters of the Red Sun Mechanical Repair Gang, often come to them to buy oil gourd scooters, so we are familiar with each other. This time we took a boat to come to Waaagh with us..."
The oil secreted by the oil gourd skoog can be used as engine oil lubrication - this is a piece of trivia that Khan told me.
Kalamanda thought to herself.
He put down the steel pliers in his hand with a "snap":
"I didn't ask about your affiliation, I asked about your scale..."
Seeing the confused look on the fart's face, Kalamanda had no choice but to change her explanation:
"How many people are left in the Snakebite clan?"
What Kalamanda wants to know is how many fish have slipped through the net after the last battle.
"They also have a giant beast and a team of pig riders!"
Grotto quickly realized what he was doing and screamed in reply.
"Following the lame boss to fight, there are probably... and..." At this point, Farts counted on his fingers, "About seven...eight pig-riding boys, if they are gone...you can use the scissors Have you put it down, my lord?"
"very good."
Kalamanda nodded and stood up to leave.
Kalamanda went to the next cell and made a detailed comparison with the two confessions from the orc boy. After confirming that what Got said was correct, the Night Bat Captain said lightly, "Give him a good time", and then turned around and left. .
He was going to the spire area to report to the Chapter Master.
…
"Red Sun Mechanical Repair Gang... I've never heard of it."
After listening to Kalamanda's report, Fu Qinghai touched his chin and thought to himself.
"The Explosive Bone Tribe... I've never heard of it."
The famous tribe of the Snakebite Clan, he had only heard of the "Dragon Killer Tribe". That tribe could tame the Tyranids and use them as biological weapons, which was something.
It now seems that Fu Qinghai has fought against half of the six major clans in orc society: Gao Fu, Evil Sun, Evil Moon, Snake Bite, Blood Axe, and Death Skull.
This is just a branch fleet, and the real main force of the Orcs has already gone to the Iron Ring... It seems that the appearance of the Orcs is just a coincidence?
Do I need to notify the other side of the hoop?
The orcs were just passing through, but what about the Khorne warband?
Fu Qinghai looked at everyone in the conference room and said:
"Okay, no matter where the opponent comes from, now that we know their military deployment, we can now start arranging a battle plan... Qiao Shida!"
"I'm here, Khan."
"Lead two companies and follow me."
"Yes, Khan!"
"Kalamanda, lead half a company to garrison the hive."
"Understood, Khan!"
"Sartfaran, continue your reconnaissance operations."
"Roger that, Khan!"
The Crow Guard warrior responded in a deep voice.
Satfaran opened the tightly held black gauntlet and looked down at something in his palm:
It was a piece of cloth that exuded a strange smell, like a mixture of blood, perfume, sweat and musk... The Crow Guard warriors were deeply impressed by the smell.
It smells like the leader of the bottom nest cult.
That champion of Slaanesh, she's still alive.
The orc convoy failed to catch up and kill her.
This piece of cloth was picked up by Satfaran in the area near the equatorial jungle. It seems that the fish that slipped through the net has escaped there... As the chief assassin of the war group, Satfaran will never allow anyone to Escape from his grasp.
The Crow Guard warriors had already made up their minds to see it.
Finally, Fu Qinghai looked at the two guards officers, Li Hanxing and Tariha, who were looking at him eagerly, and said:
"The death cavalry and the barbarian cavalry also set off with me... No, you, as the leading force, will leave the city first."
"Roger that, sir!"
The two of them agreed loudly and looked excited.
Fu Qinghai knew very well:
The Imperial Guard cannot be held to the standards of Space Marines. Many Imperial Guard regiments are war-weary and timid. This is normal. After all, Space Marines are biological weapons specially built for war, while the Imperial Guard are just mortals with military training. Both of them are Hormone levels in the body are all different.
And some Chapter Masters of the Astartes Chapters will refuse missions that they consider to be too difficult that may result in excessive casualties.
Ta Riha and Li Hanxing actively requested a fight.
This made Fu Qinghai very happy.
Are cavalry useful in an era of interstellar warfare? Fu Qinghai didn't know, but he knew: Those who dare to become cavalry in the era of interstellar war...will definitely not lack courage!
After all, the ancient cavalry, wearing steel-forged armor and riding carefully raised war horses, charged against a group of infantry relying on their legs, which was just a matter of class crushing...
The cavalry of the interstellar era, riding primitive and backward four-legged biological vehicles, armed with simple and crude melee weapons, launched a charge against the armored cluster - this is courage.
Fu Qinghai has always believed that there is no stupid courage, only stupid commanders. Courage is commendable, but cavalry is not very good at fighting tanks. Naturally, he will not use two cavalry units to fight against the orc convoy of the Xie Ri clan.
He had other ideas.

Planet Karnak III, space orbit.
Eugene Eleanor was in command of Sovereign and Warhorse.
"Turn, broadside to the asteroid belt."
he ordered.
The two warships completed tactical maneuvers together.
"Target: Three moving asteroids. First fire three rounds of light spears, and then prepare high-explosive macro cannons."
The artillery deck was quickly prepared, and thick golden laser beams shot out. The orc boulder disguised as an asteroid failed to fool the auspicious scanner. As long as there is a plasma thruster installed on the back, even if its energy signal peak is very weak, even if it moves very slowly, even if it does not have any weapons installed on its body...
It was also an orc boulder.
Three orc boulders were detonated.
The inside is indeed hollow, and from a distance you can even see metal fragments and green debris pouring out of it. Those "green debris" are the densely packed orc crew.
"Huh, greenskins just like to be clever."
Eugene Elinor snorted disdainfully.
The battle on the ground is in full swing, and there is no rest in space.
The acting captain is following Fu Qinghai's request.
Keep the intensity of harassment and probing low.
He soon discovered that the orcs were trying to use the irregular extrusion and collision of the asteroid belt to paralyze the human fleet. They built three orc boulders without any weapon arrays and using micro-propulsion systems, and quietly approached the fleet - no weapon arrays were installed. No threat to the fleet is possible.
And their real goal, Eugene guessed, might be to push the orc boulder to the surface, turn it into a meteor and hit the hive world, or some other target.
It's a pity that the navy captain, who has a vicious eye, is shrewd and cautious, sees through these tricks at a glance. No matter what the orcs want to do, they just need to prevent them from succeeding.
"Sir, the Space Wolves' frigate has sent a message and is about to arrive at the outskirts of the Karnak system."
"very good."
After adding another frigate, Eugene will have more cards and can ask Khan for instructions to conduct some "high-intensity" and "more proactive" space military operations.
Rather than just hovering over the hive.
"Sir, urgent news!"
A crew member loudly reported:
"The Kroot's war ball ship and the Chaos warband's Hades-class cruiser are moving towards us at the same time!"
Um? what happened?
Did they move together?
Eugene was stunned. After hearing the news, he subconsciously turned his head and glanced at the deck of the command bridge.
There stood a group of unusually "tall and strong" Space Marines in silence. They held huge power horses in their hands and stood in a queue on the bridge, motionless like iron towers, like sculptures cast from fine gold.
They were Eugene's reassurance.
Fu Qinghai and Qiao Shida took the initiative to take away two companies. Kalamanda stayed in the nest and led half of the company. So where is the remaining half of the company?
The answer is on a battleship.
But the only difference is.
These fifty Space Marines are all wearing the latest assault-type tactical dreadnought armor produced by the Phaeton Forge World. They are the Iron Buddha Terminator troops of the Chapter.

Planet Karnak III.
On the surface, there is an equatorial jungle, a rotten and bubbling black swamp, a miasmatic deep forest, a fallen stone monument hidden among vines and weeds, supporting a round arch.
The surface of the stele is covered with traces of time and polish, and is also carved with a humanoid creature that looks like a human, but is taller and slender. The incomplete carvings depict their battles, victories, celebrations, prayers, and cheers... However, these records The carvings of the glorious past have gradually disappeared in the long river of history.
Suddenly, there was a flash of light.
A male Eldar warrior wearing simple clothing and holding a shuriken rifle quietly lifted the vines and green leaves above his head and emerged from behind the half-collapsed stone monument. He looked around to make sure there was no danger, and then cautiously He led the huge creature behind him and walked out.
It was a dinosaur-like creature.
In the Webway portal, Savage Eldar warriors walked out one after another. They quickly formed a small team and carefully scanned the dense jungle in front of the team. The muzzles of their shuriken rifles continued to move with their gazes. With. In order to be on guard against possible enemies, the Savage Eldar warriors integrated their entire body perception into the rhythm of the forest.
However, apart from the expected ordinary sounds made by wild animals, nothing broke the silence. If there were enemies nearby, the local native animals would flee or give them some kind of warning.
Satisfied, the leading female Eldar warrior lowered her shuriken rifle, raised her right fist, and spread her fingers—a gesture that indicated all was well. She slung the rifle back on her shoulder, quietly stood up from her crouching position, and then tiptoed forward, taking every step she took carefully as she walked through the woods.
And on top of a waterfall cliff in the jungle.
A human woman wearing a tattered cloak lay on the black rock moistened by water mist. While licking the salty water on the rock, she used a telescope to observe the beast in the distance that turned over and mounted a dinosaur. Eldar squad.
The woman licked her wet gums and smiled.
She sought the guidance of the true god and came to this inaccessible, decaying equatorial jungle. When she saw these pointed-eared aliens carefully exploring the jungle, she immediately understood why the prince of darkness and joy wanted to guide her to this place. here.
Eldar, Slaanesh's favorite ration.
none of them.
The woman smiles contentedly.
She is the beloved pet of Slaanesh, the leader of the Chaos Cult of the Supreme Pleasure, a bottom-hive Chaos cult composed of sadistic demons obsessed with extreme sensory and emotional stimulation. She was once impaled by the lightning claws of the Raven Guard. Her heart and lungs were broken, and her body was severely beaten to pieces by the big guns and small cannons of the quick monsters...
But none of this matters.
At this moment, she is still alive.
Those fatal attacks would not end her life. No matter how serious the injury was, she could gradually heal with the blessing of the true God, but at this price... the woman smiled again.
Her body was severely deformed, and her skin was a strange pinkish white. She cut off her lips, exposed her teeth and gums, and her tongue swallowed like a lizard. Her feet also transformed into the shape of a horse's hooves. She had neither eyelids nor eyelids. There was no bridge of her nose, her nostrils were exposed, her ears were as big as a bat in a cave, and a pair of twisted horns grew out of her head.
The most important thing is: the human part of her right hand no longer exists, replaced by a huge claw, a crab-claw-like limb as sharp as scissors.
This is the true champion of Slaanesh.
Slaanesh's pet was lying on a cliff, eyeing her prey - a small band of wild Eldar.
On the outskirts of the forest, the chief assassin of the Iron Buddha Chapter has been tracking him alone.
Satfaran got off the jetbike, picked up a handful of soil with his fingers, and looked at it carefully.
Looking away from the strange footprints, the Raven Guard raised his head, his dark pupils flashing with gloomy eyes, and he silently looked towards the dense forest ahead.
