Chapter 339 Cavalry and Cavalry

Sound the alarm, conference room.

Qiao Shida, Camille, and Tristan took their seats one after another.

There was only one exception: Lin Yu, who was dying, was carried into the conference room lying on a medical bed.

Fu Qinghai asked in surprise:

"What's going on?"

Camille explained unhappily:

"I, Lao Cui, and Lin Yu came to the Huang Yi fantasy universe together. Uh, I don't know if my pronunciation is correct. Then Lin Yu accidentally got the cultivation secret book of "Ten Dwelling Mahayana Kung Fu" and insisted on trying to practice this Buddhist martial arts..."

Huang Yi's fantasy universe, it's okay.

After all, the most familiar term in the Chinese online literature circle - "broken void" and the second most familiar term "planting demons in the heart of Tao" - were both invented by Huang Yi. Of course, no author of these fantasy novels would say that they are writing fan fiction.

Fu Qinghai: "Then what?"

"Then I got a stitch in the side."

Lin Yu said with a bitter face:

"It is commonly known as 'going astray and becoming possessed by the devil'."

"Fortunately, he still had the Extremis virus in his body. He relied on the Extremis virus to repair himself and barely managed to save his life."

Camille added, taking over the conversation.

"What is the reason?"

As a senior scientific researcher, Fu Qinghai's first thought was to explore the principles and mechanisms behind Lin Yu's obsession with practicing martial arts.

"I first entered the so-called 'inner vision state', and then I found that I actually had two Dantians. I was so happy that I thought my martial arts training would be twice as effective with half the effort."

Lin Yu grinned and said,

"Then I discovered that the meridian routes in my body were completely different from what was written in the secret manual. I couldn't practice according to the instructions in the Ten Stages of Mahayana Practice. I was unwilling to give up, so I forced myself to practice, and then..."

"Then the meridians were cut and the dantian was ruptured, right?"

Fu Qinghai curled the corner of his mouth and said.

You have had twenty-one reconstructive surgeries.

You can figure it out even with your toes.

Can the meridians and dantian be the same as those of humans?

"You really think you are the protagonist. The protagonists of other martial arts novels all practice the secret techniques by chance and achieve unparalleled hegemony. Even your body structure is different from that of normal people, and you dare to practice forcefully. Tsk, you have brought this upon yourself."

Fu Qinghai clicked his tongue.

Camille and Tristan agreed.

Not every reincarnation can yield science and technology worth studying. The three of them only earned some assimilation points in the previous reincarnation world, and this is the norm in the reincarnation world.

However, with Lin Yu's trial and error in advance, Fu Qinghai was even less interested in the olive branch thrown by the Lion Dance. The Lion Dance's most valuable resource was its various martial arts secrets, just like the fifth dimension had mastered many magic books. But whether it was martial arts or magic, Fu Qinghai had already given up the idea.

"By the way, where are Satfaran and Kalamanda?"

Fu Qinghai suddenly asked.

"I was just about to tell you, they're in trouble, Khan, in the Octares Sector."

Lin Yu said weakly while lying on the bed:

"Do you still remember the mission you assigned to them?"

The subspace storm that had enveloped the Octarius sector for a long time finally dissipated, and a hive world, the planet Kaelnak III, returned to the Empire's sight. According to the requirements of the Military Affairs Department, Fu Qinghai assigned Kalamanda and Satfaran to lead the fifth and sixth companies of the regiment on a strike cruiser to confirm whether the hive world had been eroded and corrupted by Chaos.

This was the task Fu Qinghai assigned before he left.

"Why, it's been four years and they haven't come back yet?"

Fu Qinghai frowned and asked.

"Ahem, well, affected by the warp storm, a lot of mutants and cultists did breed in the hive city of Karnak III. Karamanda and Satfaran had already cleansed out the mutants and cultists in the hive and were preparing to return, but some other forces set their sights on that hive world... I really don't know what's so worthy of their attention in an ordinary hive world."

Lin Yu coughed and said,

"At present, we know that an Orc fleet from the Evil Sun Clan, a group of Orc bandits from the Snake Bite Clan, a Chaos warband that worships Khorne, and a war ball ship from an alien race called the 'Kroot'... have all gathered near the planet Kaelnak III."

Although Lin Yu was seriously injured, he never forgot his duties as an attendant. He took a breath and continued:

"The situation was urgent. Satfaran and Kalamanda were forced to stay on the planet's surface to build a defense line to protect the hive world. Fortunately, the Empire's response was not slow. They urgently dispatched two Imperial Guard regiments from the neighboring star regions and a Space Wolves tactical team that was on a mission nearby to provide support."

Everyone looked at Fu Qinghai together.

"Khan, what should we do?"

The first company commander Qiao Shida asked.

Having said that, the Moon Wolf Warrior's eyes were already burning with fighting spirit, and the meaning was self-evident.

What to do?

Fu Qinghai grinned.

I'm worried about not being able to find anyone to operate on.

Here comes one right to your door.

Fu Qinghai issued orders one by one.

"Notify the Military Affairs Department that we are going to the Octareus Sector to rescue our company and arrange for the relevant supplies to be sent directly to the war zone system."

Normally when an Astartes Chapter goes out on an expedition, the Munitions Department will prepare supplies and materiel before dispatching the Space Marines. However, the Iron Pagoda Chapter is very rich and can "bring their own food" and set off first without having to wait for the logistics supply fleet to arrive.

"Lin Yu, Camille, and Tristan, stay in the Marcus King Star District to ensure the safety of our conscription world, forging world, and nest world."

After all, they were not a fleet-based regiment that used ships as their home. This was the case when the territory was large. They could not mobilize all of their forces every time. They had to at least leave enough guards to prevent others from stealing their homes. The three of them had just returned from other reincarnation worlds, so it was a good time to rest.

"Qiao Shida and I will take the Rectification and lead the First Company to the Octareus Star Region to rescue them. The remaining warships will stay in the Marcus King Star Region."

Fu Qinghai added:

"Take all the jet bikes with you."

"Yes, Khan!"

The officers present responded loudly.

...

Octares Sector, Pankalis Sub-Sector, Karnak III in the Karnak System.

On a tall spire in the hive city, Kalamanda and Satfaran stood side by side. The eyepiece gradually zoomed in, and in the distance, there was a vast wasteland plain, rolling hills made of garbage, and in the middle, there was a sky full of yellow sand, mixed with a few wisps of black smoke, as if it was a tornado formed by a sandstorm.

"Speedy Freak..."

Sartrefaran muttered to himself.

"A specialty of the Evil Sun Clan."

Kalamanda's face was as gloomy as ever.

Many people know a classic example of the power of the Orks: the greenskin vehicles can run faster by painting them red, and after painting them, they really run faster.

The branch of Orks in this case who likes to paint their vehicles red is the famous Evil Sun Clan.

Different from the Snakebite Clan, which follows tradition, likes to tame animals, and specializes in Squig breeding technology, the Evil Sun Clan usually has more technician boys and more mechanical creations. All members believe in speed cult, drive modified motorcycles and flashy trucks, and are fanatically intoxicated by huge noises, roaring engines, pungent exhaust fumes, and sticky engine oil...

Pursue the "extreme speed of orcs".

On the balcony of the tower, two tall and burly Space Marines stood there, with golden abstract symbols painted on their black shoulder armors - a raven and a bat.

The two looked solemnly at the "Willow-Fire Greenskins" who were screaming and racing wildly in the distance, the runaway clan among the greenskins.

"We don't have enough fast vehicles, damn it, just give me a scout bike or an attack bike."

Kalamanda cursed in a calm tone.

Sutterfaran narrowed his eyes and asked,

"What are they chasing?"

After saying that, the Raven Guard warrior casually took out a data tablet and swiped his fingers on the tablet to operate it. Several servo skulls that had been lurking on the edge of the hive city wall automatically floated into the air and took off. These Warhammer drones aimed the detectors in their eye sockets at the greenskin convoy, chasing their whereabouts and projecting clearer images onto the tablet.

The Night Bat Warrior came over to take a look and was shocked:

"That's, that's a..."

On the screen, a strange creature was carrying a cultist and running at full speed. The creature's body was shaped like an ostrich, with legs and claws like a velociraptor under its thighs that looked like a woman, and a sphincter-like mouth on its slender head. From this hole stretched out a slender, whip-like, steel-blue tongue that swung "cracklingly" and had sharp barbs on the end. Its lavender-colored skin was smooth and elegant, and from its lower abdomen to its neck, there were two pairs of women's breasts hanging down.

Kalamanda's eyes suddenly widened.

The former Nightbat Captain whispered:

"I have seen this twisted thing, summoned from the Warp by the Emperor's Children during the Siege of Terra... A Slaanesh Steed. It is a Slaanesh Steed!"

Slaanesh Courser, one of the Chaos Beasts of Slaanesh, also known as the Flesh Licker, the Tongue Flayer, the Corrupted One and the Whip of Slaanesh, usually appears as the mount of Slaanesh Demons and Slaanesh Champions. It is said that this agile and powerful demon can run without getting tired.

Sartefaran frowned upon hearing this:

"That's impossible. I have killed all the cultists who believed in Slaanesh in the hive..."

"Obviously there are still some fish that slip through the net."

Kalamanda said in a deep voice:

"Before the Warhorse left the planet's orbit, the information given by the auspicious array indicated that the visitors were a Chaos warband that believed in Khorne. Slaanesh and Khorne are not on the same page."

Sartrefan glanced at him and said:

"I didn't realize you know a lot about chaos."

Kalamanda explained calmly:

"The Khan told me all that."

Through the images transmitted back by the servoskull, Satfaran and Kalamanda saw that the fast freaks of the Evil Sun Clan were shouting and chasing the lone Slaanesh horse. The cultists on horseback looked very brave.

He, or she, was constantly hit by the greenskins' daka guns and explosive guns, his clothes were blown to pieces, blood was gushing out, but he just trembled all over, and then continued to ride his Slaanesh horse and gallop.

The strong wind blew open the rider's hood, revealing a beautiful face that was too handsome to be a mortal. Seeing this scene, it was Sartrefaran's turn to open his eyes wide in surprise:

"I remember her, the leader of a bottom nest cult called the 'Supreme Pleasure Sect'. I personally stabbed her chest with my lightning claws and crushed her chest. I personally confirmed her death. How could she still be alive?"

"snort."

Kalamanda's lips curled up into a sneer,

"Obviously, a Slaanesh champion."

Only the blessing from that Prince of Joy can allow a person to recover from such injuries.

The Orc caravan and the Slaanesh Champion moved further away.

The two Space Marines could only lead their companies to defend the hive city and assist the local planetary governor in strengthening the city's defenses, because they lacked the troops and vehicles to participate in the pursuit.

At this time, a servant of the planetary governor came up behind the two of them, leaned over and bowed slightly, then said respectfully:

"My lords, the commanders of the Imperial Guard who came to support have arrived at the hive. My master invites you two to the banquet hall in the spire area for a chat."

"Ah, here comes this kind of occasion again."

Sartrefan complained in a low voice, then stepped back into the shadows beside the balcony and disappeared.

"You go, I won't go."

Only this sentence is left.

Karamanda's face twitched, and a helpless expression appeared on his already gloomy face. He said lightly:

"Okay, I'll go."

One likes to hide in the dark and kill people quietly, while the other likes to hide in prison and torture others. Both of them are not good at dealing with such things involving cooperation and communication, and they even feel a little bored.

Fu Qinghai sent these two people to deal with the Chaos corruption that the Hive World might suffer, and they handled it very well. No cultist or mutant could escape the ruthless strangulation of the Raven Guard and the Midnight Lords in the dark. However, defending fortifications and coordinating friendly forces were not their forte.

"Yes, please follow me, sir."

The servant said.

…

The hive city's spire area, banquet hall.

Kalamanda took a glass of scarlet wine from the waiter, saw the crowd gathered in front, took a sip of the wine, and strolled over.

As a former company commander of the Eighth Legion, Karamanda had experienced this kind of occasion before. He thought that he would see a group of standard Imperial Guard officers: wearing straight green uniforms and having proud aristocratic demeanor.

However, they did not expect that the person surrounded by the nobles was a short and strong man dressed like a nomadic people on the grassland with a disc-shaped turban on his head, and a man in a gas mask wearing a gray cloak and a pointed steel helmet.

The arrival of a Space Marine attracted the attention of everyone present. They turned around and raised their cups to Kalamanda who was walking towards them.

The man in the gas mask took off his mask, revealing a young, pale face covered with scars, and said,

"Hello, Captain Kalamanda."

The young officer smiled, and even though the smile looked a little hideous on his severely burned face, he still tried his best to show kindness and introduced himself first:

"My name is Hanxing Li, I'm from Krieg, and I lead a full-strength Death Cavalry company."

"My name is Tarjiha, I am from Attila, and I lead the 264th Attila Barbarian Cavalry Regiment."

The short and strong black-faced man followed suit.

Oh, the throne is above...

Karamanda felt helpless.

Krieg Death Corps.

Attila's Barbarian Cavalry Regiment.

Can't we have a more normal Imperial Guard?

Why does it have to be the weirdest of these two?

...

(PS: Krieg is located in the Storm Segmentum, and Attila is located in the Ultramarine Segmentum. In theory, these two corps should not "pass by" the Obscure Segmentum to provide support. Moreover, Krieg became the home of the Death Corps in the M40 era. At this time, it should have been just an ordinary hive world. I don't know much about the facts here, so I just made a small modification to remind everyone to pay attention.)
