Chapter 24: Scars

Individual rest cabins, lavatories.

Fu Jinghai used a sharp knife to dip the black viscous liquid in the bowl, pointed at the mirror, and gestured on his face.

Where to draw?

Fu Jinghai looked at his handsome face in the mirror, and he couldn't get rid of it.

Think carefully about the handsome guy you know has a scar on your face.

Ribery the Scarman, with the corners of his eyes drawn to his mouth? People were injured in an accident, and they are not handsome in themselves.

Kakashi Hachiki, through the entire eye socket? The eyelids are so thin, what should I do if I blind the eyeballs?

Harry Potter, a Z on the door of your head? Later, I went to the J.K. Rowling universe and was mistakenly killed by the men of the bald and noseless man.

Thinking about it, Fu Jinghai finally made a shallow wound in the middle of the bridge of his tall nose.

As soon as the black slime on the blade touched the skin, it hissed and white smoke rose from the wound.

Faced with such a pain that corroded flesh and blood, Fu Jinghai, who had been mentally prepared, only frowned.

The movement of holding the knife in his hand is still steady and precise, and it is not affected in the slightest.

After the scar was drawn, Fu Jinghai looked at himself in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction.

……

The next day, Wo Kotai frowned, looked at the shallow small scar on the bridge of Fu Jinghai's nose with an unhappy face, and said:

"What, are you afraid of pain?"

Fu Jinghai smiled, scratched his head and didn't explain, he knew that Wokotai would not be entangled in such a trivial matter.

Wokotai does not have a good airway:

"Come with me to the war room."

The two of them came to the small war room, which was empty.

Wokotai sat down casually and motioned to Fu Jinghai to find a seat to sit too.

"Qingshan, you are now an official member of us, I know you have a lot of questions in your heart, I can also reveal some of the previous events about the goal of our operation this time."

Fu Jinghai nodded.

Ogedai leaned back in his chair and said slowly, "It all started with our escape from the Death Guard ship in the Condax system......

It turned out that Ogedai and his company, the Falcon Brotherhood, had more members of the Terra descent who were interested in the commander, and they had been severely attrition in the White Scar Civil War that broke out in Prospero's outer orbit before, and they were no longer a full company, so the genetic prototype Chagatai Khan assigned them a secret mission-

Break away from the Grand Fleet and take a frigate alone to escort Master Quintor to Mars.

This is the reason why there are no other White Scar fleets in the outer orbit of the planet Chesratan.

In 544. After the Battle of Ulanor in the M32 period, there were not many large-scale battles between humans and Orcs, more of them were purification operations against local planets, and the White Scar sent by the Warlord to the remote Kondax system was the last legion with a chance to fight Orcs on a large scale.

The Cult of the Mechanics of Mars attaches great importance to the Orcs, an alien race that once posed a major threat to the Empire, and has been researching ways to restrain the breeding of the Orcs.

And all this was disrupted with the arrival of the Horus Rebellion.

Rebellion and counterinsurgency became the first priority of all legions, including Mars, who was also mired in civil war.

As for why he escorted Master Quintor to Mars, it was not clear to Ögedei.

Fu Jinghai recalled the bigwig factions in the scientific research circle of the earth's academic circle in his previous life, and he guessed that Master Kunto was not alone on Mars, he must have his own protégés in the Cult of the Mechanicus, and he himself was a loyal faction who supported the emperor, and Chagatai Khan might want to use his influence on Mars to turn the balance of victory in favor of the loyalists.

Whatever, it's not my business to protect the emperor, Fu Jinghai thought to himself.

"And then?" Fu Jinghai then asked, he was more interested in what happened next.

Ogedai took a deep breath and said, "As we sailed to this system, the Orniths array suddenly detected the signal of the Children of Horus, a lone Firestorm-class frigate, heading towards an agricultural planet marked 17-974 on the star map......"

Then, the Ogedai went up.

The loss of the Brethren in the White Scar's Civil War was a pain in the man's heart, and a full two-thirds of the attrition had not lost so many Space Marines in the Kondax system against Orks ten times his size.

Not to mention, these warriors did not die on the glorious battlefields, but in the midst of the rebellion that brought shame to the Legion.

Ögedei blamed all this on the rebellion of the sons of Horus.

Taral repeatedly advised him to prioritize his mission, but Ögedei insisted on giving the traitors a little color.

Also a frigate, the Firestorm-class frigate has a size and firepower configuration that far exceeds that of the Broadblade-class frigate (the Shortsword is the Broadblade-class), and everyone on the Shortsword knows at a glance that it can't fight a space naval battle.

Not to mention that there is an important person Master Quintor on board, even if you don't consider Quintto, compared to the number of light spears and the macro cannon array, there is a high probability that the Short Sword will not be able to defeat the Firestorm-class frigate of the Children of Horus.

So Tou Tie's Wokotai made a bold decision, he handed over the command of the Stiletto to Talral, and personally led a tactical squad to torpedo the gang!

This is the choice of many Space Marine legions when fighting space naval battles.

But it is also very dangerous, and the danger of torpedo jumping gangs far exceeds tactics such as orbital airborne, and it can be called the combat operation with the highest death rate.

An uncharged torpedo can carry two Space Marines, and after launching, it must pass the blockade of heavy laser arrays and macro cannon arrays, and accurately insert into the enemy ship, and the boarding Star Marine team must also fight their way out of the encirclement in the encirclement of the enemy's anti-boarding forces and destroy the power core of the enemy ship.

This process sounds like a difficult one.

In addition, there is no recovery device for boarding torpedoes.

Therefore, unless the enemy ship can be completely captured, the torpedo jumping gang is basically a dare to fight to the death with no return.

But Ogedai succeeded, despite the cost of the death of all members of the tactical team and the loss of his own legs.

At that time, the Stiletto frigate took advantage of its first move to detect the opponent, hid in the asteroid belt outside the planet Chesratan, and quietly approached the frigate of the Children of Horus, and suddenly killed the opponent just as the opponent was about to release the landing craft, taking the opponent by surprise.

But he fired a few shots casually, slipped away after firing the torpedo, slipped back into the asteroid belt and hid, waiting for the result of the jump gang led by Wokotai and the tactical team.

The ships of the White Scar Legion were specially modified by the Mechanicus Cult in accordance with the requirements of the original Chagatai Khan, reducing some of the ammunition and firepower configuration, and increasing the output power of the engine, so the White Scar Legion is faster than other legions, and it is very suitable for surprise attacks.

After Wokotai and the others desperately destroyed the power core of the Firestorm-class frigate, the frigate fell into the atmosphere under the pull of planetary gravity.

It was located in space above the colonial stronghold, and it crashed not far from the colonial stronghold of Richesratan.

And that's where the follow-up happened.

Fu Jinghai finally figured it out.

It's really a twist and turn.

As he spoke, other Space Marines walked in one after another.

When everyone took their seats, the wheelchair wokotai said in a deep voice:

"Ladies and gentlemen, Marco Van Leal has just given me the news that the subspace storm covering this area has weakened, and it is expected that in the next two weeks, a subspace jump can be made."

Hearing this, the warriors with white scars were stunned for a moment, and then cheered.

After two years of drifting in the vast and empty universe, I can finally speed up.

Wokotai also smiled, and then said:

"Compared to the subspace storm that envelops the entire star sector, this is just a gap, but seizing this short gap, we can quickly get closer to the destination, we are getting closer and closer to the area where the traitors are intensively active, everyone get ready."

Everyone should be.

"Let's go." Wokotai patted Fu Jinghai and walked out of the war room.
