Chapter 7: The Eve of the Meeting
The five regional heads of the special departments of the empire in the conference room walked out of the room one after another. The www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion came to the corridor guarded by the guards, and then looked condescendingly into the tavern hall on the first floor below.
At this moment, the original central location has been cleared out of a large open space. On the ground, there were a lot of bloodstained weapons, and the special markings on these weapons proved that these were weapons belonging to the Chaos Demon.
And on a few tables next to those weapons, there were several heads of bloodthirsty archdemons. Many mercenaries were looking at the heads of these demons, and let out a burst of amazing cries.
The five high-ranking members of the Empire, who had a full view of the situation below, were all a little surprised by what they saw. Being able to kill so many great demons is not something that can be done easily.
Even if the Imperial Army is heavily armed, it will take a lot of effort to accomplish such a feat. If it is completed by a mercenary, then the opponent's combat effectiveness is really amazing.
"Those weapons are the weapons of the demons of the subspace, that's true, and so are the heads of the demons. But is it possible for those mercenaries to achieve such a victory? Inquisitor Evelyn asked, but the colleagues around her couldn't answer her question.
Because everyone was also curiously watching the mess below, those mercenaries seemed to be preparing to auction off these Chaos weapons with psionic energy attached to them. People from several local forces in Akid have begun to contact the mercenary forces that bring loot.
"Who are these mercenary troops?" Commissar Murphy grabbed the security guard of a tavern directly and asked, since these mercenaries appeared here. Then the people here, they will definitely know something about these people.
"They are the most famous Ambrera mercenary group in the last three months. Guys who specialize in hunting chaos forces, these guys will come here to sell loot in less than half a month, and there are already several planets that have been saved by them. The tavern guard hurriedly replied, for he felt that the Imperial officer who was holding him had an aura of extreme danger all over his body. Such characters all crawled out of the pile of dead people.
"Ambrera mercenary group, it turned out to be these guys." Commissar Murphy let go of the guard, a playful smile on his face, and the scene was immediately clearly seen by the other people around him.
"Do you know about them?" Sister Blanche looked at Murphy and asked calmly, she was interested in the mercenary group below at the moment. A guy with such a strong fighting power is a very useful force at this time.
Commissar Murphy nodded, propped his hands on the guardrail, looked condescendingly at the mercenaries who couldn't wait to choose the demon weapons, and replied unhurriedly: "Yes, when the Chaos forces attacked the Imperial Naval Base a month ago, this mercenary group sneaked up on the retreating Chaos forces. and assisted the Empire in destroying many Chaos warships.
Some Imperial soldiers have seen these mercenaries loot some Chaos warships. However, at that time, the navy wanted to continue to add the Chaos fleet, so there was no excessive investigation. ”
"How many Chaos warships have that mercenary snatched to destroy so many demons!" Inquisitor Evelyn wouldn't have believed it anyway if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes. A group of unreliable mercenaries who only fight for money will have the combat effectiveness of the elite troops of the Empire.
"I heard that there are more than ten or so warships, and no one has checked the exact number." After Murphy answered the question, he made a gesture to his men, and a Storm Commando soldier immediately walked downstairs in the direction where the mercenaries were.
"Your Excellency, are these people the mysterious mercenaries you met?" Kenan, the captain of the Grey Knights, suddenly asked, he was more concerned about the information brought by the mechanical Magi before.
The forces of chaos possess the weapon to tear apart the planet, and if this information is true, then all the Grey Knight battle teams in this sector will destroy that dangerous weapon at all costs.
"Although the decoration is different, it is really the same group." The mechanical Magi replied in a hoarse voice, and the masked biochemical eyes stared at the masked mercenary.
"Then find a time to get in touch with these mercenaries. Let's continue the meeting and discuss the rest of the matter, what do you think? Kenan looked at his colleagues and said, although he was also curious about the strength of those mercenaries, but the first task of everyone here today was to form a joint operation force.
Several others nodded in agreement, and now was indeed not the time to waste time. They turned around and walked towards the room, but no one noticed that one of the cathars beside the Magi had already walked towards the building and walked towards the mercenaries.
After the weapons auction at the Veteran's House was over, the group of bio-chemical soldiers had already arrived in a Butcher-class cruiser docked in the spaceport.
This high-speed cruiser, which is completely different from the surrounding battleships, is already very eye-catching. Around the space port, there are various people watching from time to time.
Of course, no one dared to approach the ship, because in Akid, a place where mercenaries gathered, there were certain unwritten rules. Mercenaries have the right to attack anyone who approaches their ship without being invited.
In the lavishly decorated conference room inside this Gothic-style battleship, Chahoulin and Laxis watched the report sent back by the troops.
"The soldiers who went out to sell their weapons have returned, and this time we have obtained some valuable information, and someone has discovered an asteroid belt infested by the dark spirits, which is very close to a mineral planet in the Empire." Laxis lazily leaned back on the leather sofa and took a slow sip of a glass of red wine. The wine of this world tastes really good, especially this old wine that is more than 300 years old.
In the plan made by some of the people in Xiahoulin, they will take advantage of the chaos in the Gothic Sector to gather some necessary supplies and technology here.
It is relatively difficult for humans to collect technology, after all, there are several casting worlds of the Cult of Mechanicus in this star sector. There's a lot of technical information there.
Of course, with the exclusive nature of the Mechanics' technology, it is not easy to get the information in their hands. However, compared to the other collection target, the technique of the dark spirits, it is much easier.
The dark spirits, a race of all sadists, are not only elusive, but also unable to communicate with them at all. Therefore, in order to get the technology in their hands, they have to use some special means.
According to the information of the Warhammer World that Xiahoulin had seen, the Dark Eldar were blood relatives of the Elvelyn, an ancient and advanced, elven-like humanoid race. Their armies have the advantage of speed and technology, but they are often untactically resilient and outnumbered. The Dark Elves are steeped in pillage, enslavement, torture, and extreme abusers.
They use advanced anti-gravity hovers to transport large numbers of fighters to attack the enemy at high speeds. The interdimensional passage they use is called the Channel, through which they attack without warning, taking the captives before the enemy can react.
Since the Dark Elveons have no interest in occupying the planet's territory, it is not easy to find the elusive Dark Eldars.
So the plan formulated by Xiahoulin's side was to rely on a series of loot to exchange materials or intelligence with other forces. Now it seems that this arrangement has been successful, and news of the Dark Elves has appeared.
"Nine times out of ten, it seems that the Dark Spirit is preparing to attack that mining planet. What minerals are produced there? "Xiahoulin understands that with the greedy nature of the Dark Eldar raiders, they must have found something good that deserves to be sent out to plunder the fleet.
"It's the Empire's newest psionic crystal source, but it's the Empire's fleet stationed there. It's not that easy to attack, and one of the mechanic cathars is in that place. Xia Houlin called up the collected information about the Gothic star sector, and the screen showed a picture of a red planet. In planetary orbits, there are battle fortresses and warships, and huge convoys of transport ships travel between space and the ground.
"If the Dark Eldar are really going to attack that place, it's not too late for us to do it. By the way, that Magi of the Cult of the Mechanicus wanted to meet you in orbit outside the satellite, and he made an appointment. How, do you meet each other? Laxis asked directly, the Cult of the Mechanical God was one of the targets he had predetermined before, but he didn't expect the other party to take the initiative to send it to the door.
"See, why not. I just came up with a pretty good idea. Xiahoulin looked at Laxis and said with a smile, and then the high-speed cruiser began to slowly leave the harbor and head towards the starry space.
