Chapter 670: Thousand-year-old veteran and broken-back war dog
Kuitun No. 1 satellite, Cloud City.
Fu Qinghai's plan was disrupted.
His original plan was to prepare for war and reorganize the military equipment. After the storm dissipated, he dealt with some miscellaneous things left in the star zone, and then got the "key" that was the most critical to solving the major events of this plot line.
Then he could rush out and kill the orcs.
He was different from other reincarnations. After other players came to a strange reincarnation world, they had to spend time to figure out what major plot event this was, and then evaluate whether to participate, and how great the risks and benefits were.
The Warhammer 40K universe is Fu Qinghai's anchor world. He deduced which major event this was before the major plot event began. He was gearing up during the reincarnation interval. His first-mover advantage was very obvious.
But he never expected:
1. The spy organization created by No. 56 actually infiltrated and covered the entire Caliss star zone.
2. The Iron Pagoda War Group actually had an additional sub-group: the Storm Knight War Group in the Octares Star Zone.
"You go to the Sintira Hive World now."
Fu Qinghai instructed No. 56:
"It's not time to fight yet. You should first figure out what's going on with your spy organization, and take back the Calixis Sector."
"Understood, Khan."
No. 56 nodded.
This order was exactly what he wanted. The Sea Serpent Warrior didn't say much, and turned around and followed the Inquisitor and his entourage to the cruiser berth. They returned to the territory of the regiment and rushed to the familiar Calixis Sector without stopping.
Psychic reading alone is not enough. After all, psychic reading is not memory extraction. It can only see the fragments of thoughts that emerged in the other party's mind at that moment. He had to see with his own eyes the spy organization he had devoted his efforts to personally establish, the so-called "Hydra Brotherhood", and to what extent it has developed now.
The chief intelligence officer of the Iron Pagoda Regiment left.
Fu Qinghai turned to Qiao Shida and said:
"Gather the fleet of the regiment, let's go meet the Storm Knights regiment and see what's going on."
"Okay, Khan."
The first captain nodded.
Fu Qinghai turned to Qingming and ordered:
"Give me a copy of all the personnel information of the 13th regiment that lost contact before the storm."
"Okay, master."
The long-legged female secretary replied.
Octalus Sector.
Of course Fu Qinghai remembered this place.
The connection is obvious, isn't it?
...
Kuitun No. 1 satellite, spaceport.
A combat barge slowly approached the docking area.
Fu Qinghai stood alone at the entrance of the passage.
The first company behind him lined up neatly and waited for battle.
Looking at the heavy artillery ship outside the huge floor-to-ceiling glass window and slowly approaching the airport docking passage, Fu Qinghai's mood was complicated, just like when No. 56 just learned about the existence of the Hydra Brotherhood, he didn't know what kind of mentality he should have to face this unknown "sub-group".
"Boom... click."
The boarding passage was connected.
White steam and ice crystal fragments sprayed out.
Fu Qinghai recognized at a glance that this was a battle barge converted from a retribution-class battleship. The retribution-class battleship and the emperor-class battleship are both ancient battleship models that have been in service since the Great Expedition. If the emperor-class battleship is positioned as an aircraft carrier in the battleship, then the retribution-class battleship is positioned as a gunboat in the battleship. It does not have a hangar for taking off and landing fighters, but has more powerful firepower.
"Dong, dong, dong, dong..."
The neat footsteps sounded in the passage.
Fu Qinghai took a deep breath.
At the entrance of the boarding passage, iron boots slowly emerged from the field of vision, and a group of armored warriors walked along the slope to the ground of the air port passage. They were wearing power armor with a white background and gold edges, which was exactly the opposite of the black background and gold edges of the Iron Pagoda Regiment. It was more like the mother group of the Iron Pagoda Regiment-the White Scar Regiment.
Their power armor was obviously pieced together, from MK3 to MK4 to MK5. It was obvious that they were stripped from the bodies of the enemy and repainted. A smell of poverty came to his face, but it could not conceal the fierce and violent temperament that emanated from his walking.
Fu Qinghai quietly switched the eyepiece view.
"Show the implantation of the Extremis virus."
He silently said in his heart.
The picture in front of him suddenly changed, and the environment in the field of vision, including all the Space Marines, turned into a dark-colored film - none of these Space Marines had ever been implanted with the Extremis virus. Fu Qinghai was slightly disappointed to see this result. Until a bright figure entered his field of vision, the second, the third, and then there were more and more bright figures in the field of vision, and there were several mixed in each team.
Sure enough, there were still people alive!
Fu Qinghai switched back to normal vision.
The helmet turned into metal particles and retreated to the neck.
He fixed his eyes on those special figures.
Coincidentally, those Space Marines also raised their hands to take off their helmets, revealing their weathered but scar-free faces. They looked older than Fu Qinghai, with gray hair and gray face. But the moment they saw Fu Qinghai, the faces of these veterans showed surprise, and the surprise quickly turned into grief.
"Khan!"
An old soldier shouted in anger.
"Khan!" "Khan!"
These white-haired veterans shouted.
"Ah ...
There is even a venting roar to the sky.
Fu Qinghai stood speechless for a long time.
Before he came here, he had carefully read the information of all the members of the Thirteenth Company, and the faces of each Space Marine were firmly in his mind. The Thirteenth Company is a company of newly formed recruits. The company commander is a space warrior who has used the gene seeds of the World Eaters. The faces of these gray-bearded veterans can be vaguely recognized when they were young. A thousand years of wind, frost, and blood have changed. It turned into wrinkles and was deeply imprinted on their faces.
Sure enough, it was them.
The thirteenth company sent to the Octarius sector, a hundred men plus a strike cruiser, lost contact after the subspace storm enveloped the Marquez King sector. Fu Qinghai originally thought that they must be in danger, but he did not expect that more than a thousand years later, the Thirteenth Company would turn into the Storm Knights Chapter.
"I'll check it out, it's really them..."
Joestar also took off his helmet.
Touching his bald head and sighing.
"It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back..."
Fu Qinghai murmured with a complex expression.
Compared with those thousand-year-old veterans who were so excited that they lost control of their emotions, the young recruits who had not had the Extremis virus implanted in their bodies were much calmer. There was more curiosity on their faces, and they turned around to look around the airport and the other space warriors in the airport - the legendary Iron Buddha warriors.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Just then a heavier voice sounded.
The entire boarding channel was shaking slightly.
Fu Qinghai looked up.
A Contemptor Dreadnought mecha with the same white background and gold rim color strode forward on stubby legs. A burst of heroic and exaggerated laughter broke out from its half-exposed cabin:
"Hahahaha! I knew it!"
"I knew I would come back!"
The voice sounded slightly familiar.
Fu Qinghai quickly remembered:
"Dar Warren, you are the Thirteenth Company Commander!"
"I didn't expect it, boss, I'm still alive! I'm just fucking alive, like a dog whose spine has been broken. It still bites and refuses to let go, hahahaha!"
The fearless mecha laughed wildly.
He waved his power claws as he took steps.
"Okay, okay, okay."
Reunited with the familiar subordinates.
Fu Qinghai was in an extremely good mood.
"I'll get you out of that coffin and reattach your spine, Warhound."
Fu Qinghai solemnly promised.
The Extremis virus can only repair internal injuries and minor external injuries, such as eliminating fat, removing stains, tightening the skin, allowing the blind to see again, and the deaf to regain hearing... and so on. The Extremis virus cannot regenerate a severed limb.
But the Space Marine automated medical platform can.
Not to mention there is still a spinal cord left.
Only one head can be completely rebuilt.
At this point, no further explanation is needed.
According to the Brotherhood of Hydra, Terra requested that the Knights of the Storm send a company to follow the Inquisitors of the Calixis Sector to investigate the situation of the Iron Buddha Chapter. But now, instead of a company, a fleet came, and the judge who was supposed to follow them also disappeared.
The attitude is very obvious, isn't it?
"Welcome home, Company Thirteen."
Fu Qinghai took a deep breath and sighed.
…
Battleship Suzheng, medical deck.
Including the Chapter Master, all the Space Marines of the Knights of the Storm who have had their prosthetic bodies replaced are here to undergo nanoparticle body reconstruction surgery to regain their complete flesh and blood bodies. At the same time, it is also for those who have been newly promoted in the past thousand years. The "recruits of the battle group" are injected with the Extremis virus. Finally, all members of the Storm Knights Chapter will drink a glass of purple water together to complete the final transformation surgery of the new and completely different space warriors——
Take the heart-shaped herbal grind slurry.
The former Thirteenth Captain of the Iron Buddha and now the Chapter Commander of the Knights of the Storm, Dar Valen, had just completed the reconstruction of his body and limbs and taken the heart-shaped herbal medicine. He was still immersed in the joy of being reborn and strengthened again when he was killed by his old man. His boss Fu Qinghai caught him and asked about what happened in a thousand years.
"Here's the thing, Khan."
Looking back at that time, the Thirteenth Company Commander was very sad.
He slowly talked about what happened that year.
It turned out that after the Thirteenth Company was sent to the Octarius sector, they learned that their home world was blocked by a storm. After completing their mission, they had nowhere to go home and had no choice but to ask Holy Terra for help.
The Thirteenth Company is a company of new recruits. Almost all the soldiers’ gene seeds come from the Traitor Legion. This naturally arouses the vigilance and suspicion of some inquisitors in the Octarius Sector. They have always wanted to investigate this wandering company.
However, this company has received strong support from two powerful figures from Holy Terra: Grand Inquisitor Sid Nora of the Holy Tribunal and Admiral Ilya Lavare of the Central Military Department. These two big men insisted on the expansion of this company into a new battle group against all opinions.
As a result, the Thirteenth Company obtained a modified Retribution-class battleship as a battle barge, and added three strike cruisers. Together with the original strike cruiser, they formed a small battle group fleet with five battleships.
At the same time, the Ministry of Military Affairs also provided them with the weapons and ammunition, armored vehicles and power armor necessary for a Codex Chapter. As for the gene-seed, the Adeptus Mechanicus only gave a promise to permanently exempt the Chapter from the gene-seed tax.
None of the gene seeds were given.
Without gene seeds, there would be no soldiers, and the battle loss rate of Space Marines is well known. From this, it can be seen that the most anticipated result of Terra is that the company will eventually slowly die out due to the lack of major generals.
However, the high lords underestimated the survivability and powerful combat power of the new alien space warriors.
The Thirteenth Company wanted to obtain a conscription world, but they did not get permission. For the high lords, the addition of a conscription world means that there is an additional planet that is not under the jurisdiction of Terra and will not pay tithes (the conscription world is special tax-free), which they naturally do not want to see. Therefore, the newly formed Knights of the Storm chapter became a ship-based wandering chapter, wandering around without a home world.
After all, the life span of mortals is limited. After the deaths of Grand Inquisitor Sid Nora and Admiral Ilya Lavale, the supplies and equipment from Terra gradually began to be delayed for various reasons, and in the later stages, they were simply Completely cancelled, the Chapter was like an outcast, never receiving any support from Terra. Therefore, the Storm Knights Chapter could only continue to practice the old business of Iron Buddha——
Get supplies from enemies.
Including: battleship energy, mortal servants, weapons and ammunition, powered armor... and gene seeds.
The Knights of the Storm Chapter are particularly keen on finding and plundering Chaos Space Marines. They have been wandering around the Eye of Terror for a long time. Once they find traces of the Chaos Warband, they will pounce on them and bite them. They will grab weapons, ammunition, and armor... They will grab everything, but they will not bite. He vowed not to give up on the next piece of meat, and his reputation for cruelty spread throughout many star regions.
This was the reason why Fu Qinghai saw them looking like they were in tatters.
The MK8 anti-chaos power armor can self-repair, but the core of self-repair is those living metals. The Chapter cannot make living metals. The one who makes living metals is the half-crippled Underworld Scarab deep underground in the Phaeton Forge World. Therefore, the Storm Knights have lost the ability to make armor and can only use old-fashioned armors stripped off the traitors. There are even antiques like the MK3 Expedition type that are very old.
"Why is it called this name?"
Fu Qinghai raised a question.
"Alas, Khan, you should have known."
Dar Valen sighed and smiled bitterly.
Fu Qinghai actually guessed the reason.
Knights of the Storm Chapter.
Just hearing this name, it is inseparable from the White Scars Chapter. There are certain rules to follow in the naming of the sub-groups of the nine founding chapters. For example, many sub-groups of the White Scars are called "Storms", and many sub-groups of the Ultramarines are called "Arons".
The Thirteenth Company chose such a name to remind the outside world of their connection with their parent group, the White Scars. But in fact, this is just a cover-up. Most of the gene seeds of this company come from the nine traitor legions and have nothing to do with the White Scars.
"I see."
Fu Qinghai nodded slowly.
"When can I return to the battle group?"
Dar Warren asked impatiently.
"I don't want to be this bullshit chapter leader anymore. If it weren't for the brothers in the company, I would have given up my career long ago. I have worked hard for more than a thousand years just to wait for the moment when the storm dissipates. I will I know you won’t be finished because of the storm blockade. The subspace can’t help you. Boss, you are the most awesome, hurry up and get me..."
Dar Warren poured out his heart.
Fu Qinghai raised his hand to stop his chattering:
"No, you continue to be your Chapter Master."
Dar Warren was stunned when he heard this:
"Boss, you don't want us anymore?"
"Can you stop being such a pussy?"
Fu Qinghai glanced at him angrily.
"I will replenish all the equipment for you, including the Chapter's MK8 chaos-type power armor, pulse bolter, Fat Man launcher, sonic concussion cannon, ammunition including artificial monster blood and multi-stage steady-speed missiles, and vehicles including jet motorcycles. . All your fleets can also be upgraded, and the medical decks can all be transformed into automatic medical platforms for Space Marines..."
Fu Qinghai listed a lot:
"All standards are consistent with the parent group."
In addition to the Boss Warrior series of vehicles.
Because the number of deformation gears is not enough.
Although the Storm Knights Chapter is poor and behaves in much the same way as renegade Space Marine Chapters such as the Ember Claws and the Space Sharks, they do have a full thousand Space Marines. Unlike some battle groups, it is a battle group in name, because the actual battle losses are only three to four hundred warriors.
"You can get all the supplies, equipment and technology from Phaeton Forge World, but you are still an independent war group. Do you understand, Thirteenth Company Commander?"
Fu Qinghai stared at Dar Warren and asked.
"I probably...get it, Khan."
Dar Warren narrowed his eyes and nodded.
He guessed what Qingshan Khan wanted to do.
In fact, the Knights of the Storm Chapter can now complete a comprehensive change of equipment immediately, because the Phaeton Forge World has already produced weapons, equipment and ammunition that far exceeds the needs of the Iron Buddha Chapter. Of course, Fu Qinghai did not expect that there would be a sub-group waiting for him outside. He was not a prophet. These weapons, equipment and ammunition were prepared for other things.
That thing is important too.
"Count the days."
Fu Qinghai raised his head and glanced at the timer:
"It's about time."
