Chapter 351 The Thunder Wolf Cavalry

were walking in the passage leading to the prison. Fu Qinghai was holding a data tablet in his hand, and while walking he was watching the battle footage recorded by Sartre Fran using the servo skull.

So this is the Slaanesh Steed...

Satfaran and Kalamanda were both veterans with one gold and one silver medal in service. Fu Qinghai had not participated in the siege of Terra, and this was the first time he had seen this kind of Slaanesh demon.

Tsk tsk, Khorne's Steel Bull, Slaanesh's Steed... If we add a Tzeentch Disc and Nurgle's Rot Fly, we will have the cavalry units of the four evil gods, Fu Qinghai thought to himself.

Walking down the stairs and pushing open the prison door, a dark, damp and slightly foul smell hit them in the face. Fu Qinghai couldn't imagine why Karamanda particularly liked this kind of environment. Several people came to the cell where Karamanda was and opened the door.

A faint smell of urine.

All three Space Marines smelled it.

Fu Qinghai, Qiao Shida and Satfaran looked up and saw a woman from the Elven tribe, wearing thin clothes, tied to shackles. She was dying with her head hanging down. There was not a single scratch on her body. Her sweat-soaked clothes and hair were tightly stuck to her body. The smell came from between her legs...

"What did you do to her?"

Fu Qinghai asked curiously.

Kalamanda shrugged innocently:

"I didn't torture her because you said to hurry up, so I used psychic intimidation at the beginning, and then...she became like this."

I was so scared.

Sartfaran, No. 56 and Kalamanda all completed their psychic awakening during the new and different transformation stage. The abilities of the first two are psychological invisibility and psychic mind reading, while Kalamanda's ability is to instill strong emotions of fear in others and to provoke the most feared memory fragments deep in their hearts.

Psychic interrogation methods in addition to traditional interrogation methods.

It is also his basis for always being successful in prying open people's mouths.

Fu Qinghai shook his head helplessly:

"You don't know much about the body structure of the spirit race... Forget it, I'll explain it to you later. I only care about one question, did she confess?"

"I confessed."

Kalamanda nodded and said,

"They come from a wild world in the Storm Segmentum. It's so remote that its location is not even on the star map. The goals of the Wild Eldar and the Fifteen Fangs Warband overlap - they are both looking for a special 'thing'. As for the location of the Webway exit, you see, it's here."

Kalamanda pointed to the map.

Fu Qinghai and Qiao Shida looked at each other.

It seems that Kalamanda's methods are really amazing.

The Eldar woman confessed everything.

…

The biggest label of the Eldar is that they are one of the few naturally psychic races in the Warhammer 40K universe. They are all psykers, of course, with different levels of psionic talent.

The Eldar only look like humans, but their body composition, physiological structure and even the microscopic structure at the genetic level are actually very different from those of humans, including the quintuple helix genetic chain.

Master Quinto is a famous alien expert of the Mechanicus. He has dissected many Eldar corpses, and Fu Qinghai also learned some secrets of the physiological structure of the Eldar.

The specific manifestation of these structural differences, in addition to their combat capabilities far superior to humans, also includes the feelings and emotions of the Eldar: their brains, nerves, and senses are more developed than humans, which leads to the richness of the Eldar's emotions and feelings, which is also far superior to humans -

Satfaran had previously seen a female Eldar warrior in the Savage Eldar team crying during a battle. The old Raven Guard soldier was very puzzled at the time, as he thought that the Savage Eldar sent untrained civilians to the battlefield as professional soldiers.

Therefore, the effect of Kalamanda's psychic intimidation and torture on the Eldar was far better than that on ordinary humans and Space Marines, because the Eldar were naturally sensitive, especially to the effects of psychic energy and emotions. The emotions of other races were too "numb and dull" in the eyes of the Eldar.

Kalamanda disposed of the Eldar captives.

Fu Qinghai ordered her to be killed quickly.

This is not the 41K era, not the era when Robert Guilliman signed an alliance treaty with the Eldar. Any aliens found within the Empire (those beyond the scope of the Goldokin Purebred Manual are considered aliens) are enemies of the Empire and should be eliminated by the Astartes Chapter.

Moreover, strictly speaking, even in the 41K era, it was Ivrenee's Death Army and the Beltane Ark World that signed an alliance with the Empire. Other Ark Worlds, the Harlequin Eldar and the Savage Eldar were not allies of the Empire.

Not to mention the Dark Eldar.

The Dark Eldar will not consider the Dark Eldar as an ally.

…

Karnak III, in orbit.

Saroyan Skarson is leading his team to clear out the Hades-class heavy cruisers. His tactical team is certainly not the main force. The main force is thirty Iron Pagoda Terminators.

This was undoubtedly a terrible ship.

The ground was covered with dried blood scabs and broken corpses. Saroyan Skarsson saw bodies that had been dead for weeks and no one had collected them. They were left to stink and rot. The corpses were wearing tattered crew uniforms, and their pistols, boots, and even metal badges had all been looted.

Imperial ships often require tens of thousands of crew members to operate, and it is obvious that murder, robbery and all kinds of violence are taking place here... There is no doubt that the Khorne Chaos Warband is condoning this behavior, and perhaps even encouraging it.

According to navigator Tracy, she felt a strange emotion pervading the surroundings, hidden in the steel and iron bones of the battleship. It was the soul of the battleship, which was craving for blood and killing, extremely strongly and impatiently.

Along the way, Saroyan saw many mortal crew members. Their faces were a sickly yellow, but their bulging eyes were flashing with excited scarlet, looking like they had symptoms of some vitamin deficiency.

Through understanding, he knew that this Khorne Chaos warband did not allow mortals to drink water. They slaughtered slaves every day and then bled them into the water purification system of the warship.

Khorne believers only drink blood and not water.

It is not known whether it was Angron or Khârn who gave the original order, but even after the disbanding of the XII Legion, these small Chaos warbands that believed in Khorne still chose to retain this morbid "custom" and continue to carry it forward.

"Kill them all, those who drank blood."

Saroyan Skarsson said to the Iron Pagoda Terminator.

After saying this, the Space Wolf warrior twitched his lips.

Revealing the iconic sharp canine teeth.

"I agree, sir."

The Iron Pagoda Terminator's sergeant agreed:

"We don't need them to operate the battleship. We only need to allocate half of our people to drive the battleship back, provided that the navigator can tame its machine spirit."

In just a few words, the two had decided the life and death of tens of thousands of people, except for the captured slaves. The crew drank blood, perhaps because they were forced by the Chaos Space Marines, or perhaps because of their instinct for survival, but this was the rule of the game in the cruel galaxy, and no one would give them a chance to repent.

"Then you will take care of it. I am going to go down and see my old friend and see how he is doing now."

Saroyan said to the Terminator Sergeant.

"No problem, sir."

"Shh—"

Saroyan whistled with his fingers, and a giant wolf rushed out of the passage with half of a Chaos believer's body in its mouth. The visual impact of this giant gray wolf, whose shoulders were as tall as the Space Marine's helmet, was very shocking. It spat out the body in its mouth, made two "Pooh" sounds, and then obediently followed Saroyan Skarsson to the boarding deck.

The Iron Pagoda Terminator watched this scene silently.

…

Karnak III, the spire of the hive city.

"Saroyan Skarshen, my old friend!"

Fu Qinghai opened his arms and strode over.

"Haha, Qingshan, you bastard."

Saroyan grinned and opened his arms.

The two men hugged each other tightly, and the ceramic steel guards on their chests made a hard "bang bang" sound. The two men looked at each other. Fu Qinghai was still the same as before, but Saroyan was even more coquettish. The mustache on the red-haired warrior's face became more and more luxuriant, and even braided into several thick braids, tied with golden rings.

It's the Space Mongols meeting the Space Vikings.

Fu Qinghai has held the position of regiment leader for a long time. Although his appearance has not changed much, his temperament and aura have become more restrained, giving him a feeling of a heavy sword without a blade.

As for Saroyan, the red-haired warrior still had that cheerful and cheerful look, and still had that carefree attitude. However, there were some scars on the sides of his face, which made him look even more ferocious.

"You are already Chapter Master, Aoyama."

Saroyan said with envy on his face.

"Haha, I'm a little better than you."

Fu Qinghai was not polite to him at all.

"Damn it, you are surrounded by your men. For their sake, I will not beat you today, so as not to affect your prestige as the head of the regiment and make you unable to live as a human being in the future."

Saroyan looked around and said.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Fu Qinghai laughed and said:

"I'd really like to beat you up in front of your tactical team. How about we start in the training cage?"

"Let's talk about the mission first."

Saroyan avoided the question and changed the subject very abruptly.

…

In the conference room.

"So, we're late, and the main battle on the ground is over?"

After listening to Fu Qinghai's explanation, Saroyan asked.

"That's not entirely true."

Fu Qinghai said seriously:

"The Orcs' ground forces have been completely destroyed, with only a few warships escaping. The Chaos warband's ground forces and warships have all been destroyed, but there is still one fish that escaped."

"As for the Kroot, they haven't sent any ground troops to join the battle yet. I don't know what they are up to. I don't want to waste time negotiating with these birdmen, nor am I interested in hiring them. I will get rid of them sooner or later when I have time."

The red-haired warrior nodded.

"The key is that there are new players entering the market now."

Fu Qinghai looked at Saroyan and said:

"Traces of the Savage Eldar were found in the equatorial jungle. I speculate that they came from the Webway."

Saroyan picked up the cup and took a sip of wine, then said,

"Okay, I understand. Since the Military Affairs Department has already dispatched us here, I will be at your command from now on... Damn it, the planetary governor's wine is soft and not tasty at all. It's not as good as our Fenris honey wine."

Saroyan cursed.

Fu Qinghai nodded to several of his men, motioning them to leave. When only himself and Saroyan were left in the conference room, Fu Qinghai reached out and patted him on the shoulder, asking,

"Brother, what's wrong with you? I remember when I first met you, you were the commander of the Blood Ice Storm Detachment Fleet of the Third Company of the Space Wolves Legion, with a whole company and three destroyers under your command. How come you are now reduced to commanding a frigate and a tactical team?"

Fu Qinghai spoke straight to the point.

He always felt that Saroyan was a straightforward person, and that their relationship was okay, so there was no need to beat around the bush.

Saroyan shrugged his shoulders and said nonchalantly:

"At the last chapter party, I got drunk and peed in a barrel. The Primarch found out and punished me by stripping me of my position and rank. That was it."

Leman Russ is attending a party, and you dare to pee in a wine barrel?

Fu Qinghai looked incredulous, staring at Saroyan's face, thinking, you are really bold, you don't take your own Primarch seriously at all, right?

Saroyan still had that nonchalant look on his face. He spread out his hands and drank the remaining wine in the glass.

Fu Qinghai frowned, feeling a little doubtful.

It feels like Saroyan Skarsson's words are half truth and half lie.

Suddenly, he remembered the report from the Iron Pagoda Terminator and himself, and he asked,

"My men told me that you used some kind of tamed giant gray wolf to assist in the battle on the Underworld-class heavy cruiser of the Anti-Bounce Gang, is that right?"

"Well?"

Saroyan was slightly stunned:

"Is... I think so. You have been to my warship before, and I thought you knew our situation. We did tame some of those wild beasts from the wilds of Fenris..."

"But according to the description of my men, the size of that gray wolf is much larger than the ones I saw on your warship, and... they have saddles on their backs."

Fu Qinghai interrupted Saroyan and emphasized.

"Haha, really... That's not actually a saddle. Your men may have seen it wrong. It's a special armor that protects the waist of the giant wolf. You think too much, Qingshan."

Saroyan laughed and said.

Trying to muddle through.

Now Fu Qinghai was very sure.

Thunder Wolf Cavalry.

The Tactical Squadron led by Saroyan Skarsson is a squad of Thunderwolves. The Thunderwolves are the secret weapon of the Space Wolves. Despite many sightings, from the Imperial Guard and from other Chapters, for some reason, the Space Wolves refuse to acknowledge the existence of this unit.

Maybe they felt it was a bit shameful to ride wild beasts into battle.

The Wolf Group originally gave people the impression of being very barbaric.

But then again, the Thunder Wolf is a member of the Wolf Guard, which is the personal attendant and bodyguard of Leman Russ. It is usually composed of the highest-ranking and most experienced Space Wolves in the Chapter, which is equivalent to the Kheshield Guard of the White Scars. Saroyan Skarsson became a Wolf Guard and led the Thunder Wolf. It seems to be a demotion, but in fact...

It's actually a big promotion.

This shows that the Primarch values ​​him very much and has high hopes for him.

Tsk tsk, this guy is not honest.

Fu Qinghai stared at Saroyan with a smile.

The red-haired warrior felt uneasy.

"Congratulations, my old friend."

Suddenly, there was a sentence without any context, which made Saroyan a little confused.

"The next operation will be carried out in the equatorial jungle. Bring all your Thunder Wolf Cavalry with you. I need their strength."

Fu Qinghai left the meeting room after saying a few words.

Leaving behind Saroyan Skarsson with a shocked look on his face.

How did he know about the existence of the Thunder Wolf Cavalry?

Even the name was not wrong.
