Carrying a half-length giant, plus avoiding too rough sections of the road to prevent the wokotai in the tow from being blown upside down, took more time on the return trip than on the way out.

By the time Fu Jinghai and the others rushed back to the colonial stronghold, it was already noon on the third day.

The arrival of the trio caused a sensation in the colonial stronghold.

Originally, these small strongholds of thousands of people usually don't have any big things, and the little things can become the talk of the residents after dinner.

Now, two orphans in the stronghold who don't have a strong presence have dragged back a Space Marine.

Strictly speaking, half a Space Marine.

It's like the stars hitting the south side and coming out.

Residents put down their work and came to watch.

"Isn't this Rock and Fei Yi, my God, it's a big deal."

You don't think I've captured a Space Marine...... Fu Jinghai thought to himself.

"When I was young, I thought this kid was promising!"

Who are you, I didn't know you at all when I was a kid...... Fu Jinghai was speechless.

"Let go, folks, let go." Fu Jinghai, who was sitting in the back seat of the jet motorcycle, waved his hand and asked the melon-eating crowd in front of him to get out of the way.

Wo Kotai, who was sitting in the back of the drag, looked at the residents around him who were talking about him, and felt a little aggrieved.

As a veteran of more than 200 years of service, he did not participate in propaganda activities such as imperial parades and victory parades to show the general public the image of Astarte and the disciplined imperial army.

But it was the first time he had ever been dragged around in a rotten trailer like this, and then watched by a group of hillbillies from the nest.

During the Great Expedition period, the Human Empire has always pursued the doctrine of Pioneering, and the Space Marines are the backbone and elite of the Imperial Army, each Space Warrior not only has their own combat skills, but also has the tactical literacy to command a small battle, so even an ordinary Space Soldier is equivalent to an officer for most of the grassroots mortal auxiliary army, and can directly take over the command of the mortal troops on the battlefield where the command system has collapsed.

What's more, Ogedai is also a middle-level officer in the formation sequence of Space Marines.

For ordinary people in the empire, it can be described as a high-ranking existence.

Therefore, Wokotai inevitably has a sense of desolation in Pingyang.

Fu Jinghai could probably understand his emotions, so he didn't waste time and went straight to the villa of Calvin, the administrator of the colonial stronghold.

Although the surrounding residents talked a lot, they didn't dare to point a finger at a space marine, and the mottled bullet-scarred armor and the majestic body of Ogedai silently showed his strength, and people looked at Ogedai with awe and curiosity in their eyes.

Fu Jinghai and the others came to the door of Calvin's villa.

Calvin, who received the news, had already gone out in advance to check the situation, and when he saw the wokotai sitting on the tow bucket, his expression was a little shocked for a while, and his hands subconsciously sorted out his administrative uniform.

Fei Yi stopped the jet motorcycle, and Fu Jinghai introduced to Calvin: "My lord, this is Ogedai Nayan Khan, the Star Marine of the Fifth Legion that I rescued from the wreckage of the battleship. ”

"Ah...... This, uh...... Very good. Calvin didn't know what to say for a moment.

Wokotai in the rotten trailer looked at Calvin, and said in a hoarse voice:

"I'm Ogedai Manut, the commander of the Falcon Brotherhood under the White Scar of the Fifth Legion, and I am now announcing that the colony stronghold on Planet 17-974 has entered the state of military control of the Imperial Army, and I order you to immediately transfer the management of the colony stronghold to me."

Calvin bowed his head in obedience, "My pleasure, sir. ”

Calvin was originally the grassroots administrative officer of the expeditionary fleet who stayed on the colonial planet to contact the follow-up colony fleet, because the follow-up colony fleet never came, so he was the highest-ranking official at the moment.

Ogedai asked him to hand over the management, and he was willing.

Fu Jinghai even felt that after handing over the management to Ogedai, Calvin changed his previous panic and decadence and became full of energy.

When Ogedai asked him to organize the inhabitants of the colony to bring their vehicles and equipment to the wreckage of the battleship to excavate and recover the available resources, Calvin was very efficient in assembling a large team.

Before organizing people to go to the wreckage of the battleship, Ogedai and Calvin had a secret conversation in the small villa, exchanging information about the two sides, mainly Ogedai conveyed to Calvin what the current situation facing the human empire - the rebellion of the war commander Horus, the defection of half of the Astarte army, the subspace storm ravaged the galaxy, cutting off the communication and transportation links between the empire and the center Terra, and White Scar, who chose loyalty, stood on the side of the emperor's camp.

This news can be described as shaking Calvin for a whole year.

Commander Horus rebelled, and half of the legion defected...... The implication behind this is far more frustrating than seeing two groups of Space Marines fighting, but thankfully someone is here now.

At present, Ogedai still does not know that the sudden outbreak of the subspace storm is due to the manipulation of the four evil gods of subspace, let alone the connection between this and the rebellion of the war commander Horus, and even whether an officer of Ogedei's level knows the existence of the subspace evil god is a problem.

Not to mention that Ogedai is not a white-scarred Legion think tank Storm Prophet, and even many Astarte Legion think tanks, these military psionics who can manipulate the ether, still think that subspace is just a simple physical space, there is no life in it, and there is no own thoughts and consciousness, but the laws of energy and matter in it cannot be understood by the humans in the main space for the time being.

Calvin, on the other hand, mainly conveyed the current situation of the colonial stronghold to Ögedei.

There is nothing to convey either, a few thousand civilians, a ship with insufficient fuel, a small stronghold with no fortifications, that's all.

If you face a battleship with orbital strike capabilities, you only need one shell to destroy the colonial stronghold of Chesratan, and you don't need one more.

Fu Jinghai was also at the scene of this secret conversation, and Wokotai allowed him to appear, and Calvin tacitly acquiesced that he could appear next to him.

Calvin even felt that compared to himself, the administrator of the 17th expeditionary fleet, and a serious imperial civil servant, Ogedai seemed to trust Locke, a poor boy in the nest, a little more.

Of course, in the face of the wreckage of the spaceship and the Astarte infighting, Calvin chose to watch silently and passively, while Fu Jinghai chose to take the initiative to attack and investigate the situation, and also saved the life of Wokotai, who was trapped by eating corpses, did not know how long he could live.

Fu Jinghai didn't explain the truth of the subspace storm to Wokotai, and it was useless to say it, why did Wokotai believe the opinion of a young man with no psychic talent about subspace.

The immediate priority now is to connect with the white scar battleship in outer space.

Watching Calvin lead Wokotai to the communication cabin of the colonial spaceship, Fu Jinghai had a lot of questions in his mind.

There are warships with white scars in outer space?

Then why didn't they send people to the surface to check the situation?

Which side did the fallen battleship belong to?

White Scar and the Children of Horus don't look like they have any follow-up support, and a lone frigate crashes in Cheslatan, where are their respective fleets?

Wokotai didn't explain these questions to Calvin, and Calvin didn't ask, and honestly carried out Wokotai's orders.

Although his mind was full of questions, Fu Jinghai still didn't ask, he pursed his lips and watched the back of Wokotai enter the communication cabin.

Wokotai got rid of the rotten drag, and now sat in a modified wheelchair, he looked at the communication equipment in front of him, and his eyes were a little sad.

The captain of the colony ship was also stranded in Chesratan, a bearded man, who introduced himself to Ogedei:

"Sir, this is the farthest communication device we have at the moment, farther than the one in the stronghold, which can transmit messages to neighboring planets, and we have kept the communication open, but we have not received any news."

Wokotai frowned, there were no Star Whisperers in the entire colonial stronghold, not to mention that Star Communication also relied on the stability of subspace, and ultra-long-distance Star Communication was not to be considered.

As for the civilian communication equipment on the spacecraft, this distance is the limit.

Fu Jinghai also followed, staring at the device in front of him and thinking, but this time the sea of consciousness of the electronic soul did not make any more ripples.

Iron Man isn't omnipotent either.

Wokotai pressed the button, adjusted the spaceship's broadcast signal to a military frequency band, leaned over, and said to the colony spacecraft's microphone:

"Gladius, I'm Ogedai Manut, I'm on the planetary surface, please answer when I receive it, I'm on the planetary surface, please answer when I receive it."

Then he turned to the captain and said, "Keep this broadcast on a loop until we get back from the wreckage of the battleship." ”

The captain replied, "Yes, sir. ”

The broadcast signal of the colony spaceship can be sent to the outer space of Chesratan, although it is a military frequency band, it will also be heard by the enemy, if you are unlucky, you may attract the enemy's warship to land in Chesratan, but this is also a way to do it, Fu Jinghai guessed that Wokotai has other tasks and purposes, otherwise he would not make this decision.

The next day, the inhabitants of the Chesratan colony drove all sorts of strange vehicles towards the wreckage of the warship.

Whether it is industrial production or agricultural planting, it all requires a complete industrial chain, and on an isolated colonized planet, every piece of iron is a resource, let alone a warship.

And Wokotai also needs military communication equipment from the frigate, orniths, and so on.

Fu Jinghai was also in the team excavating the wreckage.

He has now figured out two issues.

First of all, there is indeed a battleship with white scars in outer space, named "Stiletto", otherwise the broadcast of Wokotai would not have been launched.

Secondly, the fallen frigate came from the Sons of Horus, a warship belonging to the XVI Legion, which is already indicated by the coat of arms and emblems on the wreckage of the battleship.

The excavation and recovery of resources started from the outside, and the automatic defense weapons that were still operating inside the battleship had been solved one by one by Fu Jinghai pushing the wheelchair of the Wokotai.

The inhabitants were in full swing, after all, the materials and supplies excavated belonged to the colonial stronghold, and only weapons and military equipment needed to be handed over to Ogedei.

And Wo Kotai, who was overseering on the side, frowned and had a sad face.

Two days passed, and the broadcast signal of the colony ship remained unanswered.

"One, two, three, up! One, two, three, up! ”

The people shouted trumpets, and with the combined efforts of cutting machines, machine servants, slaves, and humans, a hatch that was half-buried in the ground was pulled out, revealing a black hole inside.

One of them stuck his head in and looked at it, and then immediately retracted it.

"Your Excellency." The man in the lead shouted at Wokotai, "It seems to be a communication pod." ”

Wo Kotai straightened up instantly, turned his head to look at Fu Jinghai beside him, and said, "Come with me." ”

Fu Jinghai pushed the wheelchair and ran over.

Wokotai grabbed the upper edge of the hatch with one hand and lifted his entire upper body inside, followed by Fu Jinghai, bowed his head and got in, and turned on the lighting flashlight.

The light source illuminated the cabin, and in front of him was a dense network of device buttons and black screens, and the corpse of a crew member in gray-green uniform lying to the side.

Ogedai casually pushed the corpse of the crew away, and looked at the communication facilities in front of him, this is not a bridge, not the command center of the battleship, but there are also communication equipment.

Wokotai casually pressed the button on the device twice, but the screen did not respond, and he couldn't help but "tsk" and frowned.

"I'll try." Fu Jinghai drilled to the front of Wokotai and said.

Fu Jinghai fiddled in front of a few pieces of equipment that were still in good condition.

This was the first time he had come into contact with the communication instruments of the Warhammer 40K Universe Human Empire, but he seemed to be extremely skilled, Fu Jinghai asked Wo Kotai while groping, and Wo Kotai could see that it was the first time he had seen this thing, because Fu Jinghai didn't even know what many common-sense button symbols meant.

Fu Jinghai dismantled the box of the instrument, poked half of his body in, followed the guidance of the train of thought in his mind, and flexibly toddled between a piece of cable and various integrated circuits with both hands.

After a while, the gray-faced Fu Jinghai came out of the box, clapped his hands, looked at the screen that was still dark and motionless, and said strangely: "It shouldn't be, I think I've already done it." ”

What do you think...... Hearing these three words, Wokotai didn't know what to say.

Fu Jinghai squinted his eyes at this instrument, and thought: What's the matter, can't Iron Man repair you?

Suddenly, Fu Jinghai raised his foot and kicked hard at the communication instrument, and the box made a "bang".

Wokotai was stunned.

"......" The pitch-black screen suddenly flashed a snowflake, and then, the fluorescence of the three screens lit up at once.

Looking at the flickering words on the screen in front of him, Fu Jinghai turned his head and asked:

"This is the famous Contemplative System?"

"You kid has never let me down." Wokotai looked at Fu Jinghai's eyes full of approval, and said: "Is Levant a technologically advanced casting world comparable to Mars, why have I never heard of it before?" ”

Even a poor man in the nest has the ability to repair military communications equipment.

The Rivante Nest is terrifying!

"Talent, talent." Fu Jinghai explained two sentences with a smile.

Time was pressing, Wokotai did not continue to dig into the roots, picked up the earphones that fell on the floor, put them on, operated on the communication equipment, and when there was verification, he picked up the corpse on the ground with one hand and pressed a fingerprint and a pupil, which was also very skilled.

Ogedai pressed a button, took a deep breath, leaned down and said to the instrument: "Short Sword, Short Sword, I'm Ogedai Manut, please reply when you receive it, please reply when you receive it." ”

With that, Ogedai leaned back against the bulkhead.

……

The communication pod was silent, and there was no sound except for the soft sound of the equipment.

In the gloomy cabin, Wo Kotai and Fu Jinghai stared wide-eyed, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

......A noise of electricity broke the quiet and awkward atmosphere, and a surprise voice sounded:

"Ogedei!? You're alive? ”

Ogedai breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help laughing: "Of course, Talal, you idiot, Lao Tzu's life is very big. ”

The voice from the instrument was a little hurried, and said, "How are you doing, why are you using the signal of the Children of Horus to talk to us, and what about them?" ”

"My situation ......" Ogedai looked down at his empty lower body, sighed, and said, "It's bad, I'm on the Griffin, the battleship crashed into the atmosphere, and they all died in battle." ”

"I'm the only one alive."

The voice over there was silent for a while, "Okay, understood, I'll arrange for the landing craft to pick you up on the surface." ”

"You track the location of this signal to locate the surface, and when you descend to a certain height, you can see the wreckage of the battleship. ”

"Roger."
