The temporary quarters of the Legion with White Scars were arranged in the Hall of Adjudication.

Once the headquarters of the Ministry of Justice, the Hall of Judgment was converted into a defensive command center by the Imperial Fist during the Siege of Terra, not far from the Eternal Gate Avenue leading to the Palace of Terra.

Fu Qinghai returned to the Falcon Brotherhood, to which he belonged.

The sudden return of a long-missing Space Marine, placed in the 41K era, is a cause for celebration for the warband, and a matter worth investigating for the Inquisition.

But for this chaotic time node that the Horus Rebellion has just ended, it has not attracted much attention.

In a huge room in the adjudication hall, Fu Qinghai looked at the Wo Kotai that was stuffed into the dreadnought mecha, his eyes were complicated, and he asked:

"So, what happened next, Khan?"

Just by looking at the fact that everyone on the frigate was still alive, Fu Qinghai knew that they definitely didn't go to Mars, or didn't arrive at Mars as planned.

Before Ögedei could speak, Talal was the first to explain:

"After you disappeared during the psionic riot on the lower deck of the Sosaland, we followed your advice and consulted with Master Quintor who also believed that if the Casting Commander Calbo Hal had rebelled, then going to Mars would be tantamount to death."

"So we changed course and instead of continuing with the Sosaland, we went to a casting world designated by Master Kunto."

Fu Qinghai hurriedly asked:

"Where have you been? Yellow Springs No. 8? Griffin Four? Steel balls? Lucius? Or Reza? ”

Talal shook his head and said:

"No, these famous casting worlds have their own power structures, and it doesn't make sense for us to go, it was Master Quintor who offered us a choice - the satellite of the world of Graf's hive, the Moon of Gravia."

Gravia? What is that place?

Fu Qinghai had never heard of this casting world.

Talal saw Fu Qinghai's doubts and introduced to him:

"This is a very marginal world of foundry in the Cult of the Mechanicus, belonging to a secretive, niche, and even somewhat heretical offshoot, the Micro-Ohm Messianic Cultivators, who work on a technology called nanomechanical dendrites. When Master Quinto was an apprentice mechanic, one of his classmates and colleague later worked in Gravia Moon and had some connections, so we traveled to the world of Gravia Foundry. ”

Cult of the Machines that specializes in nanotechnology...... There are indeed enough niches.

Fu Qinghai probably understood that Master Kunto, Wo Kotai and the others were deliberately looking for a marginal casting world that was not too strong, so that they could act conveniently.

"And then?" Fu Qinghai asked.

"We made it to the moon of Gravia, where it was calm and a sign of loyalty to the Emperor. Soon, however, a warband of the Midnight Lords, defeated by the Black Angels, fled to the Moon, demanding that the Moon of Gravia submit to Chaos and provide them with the necessary supplies to reach the Eye of Fear, and rightfully we fought with the Lord of Midnight for the right to the Moon of Gravia. ”

The Midnight Lord has already split into countless warbands so quickly?

Fu Qinghai knew that during the entire Horus Rebellion, the midnight geist Conrad Coz was basically in a state of self-abandonment and self-pity, so he didn't care much about the space marines below, and the Eighth Legion was originally not as hard as the First Legion with many relics technology, and the genetic prototype was in a trance all day long, and the gods chattered, and the Midnight Lords fought on their own, and they were soon defeated by the Black Angels.

"We are too few in number, and the techno-priests of the Gravia Moon are not well-versed in combat, and their nano-silicon implants are very vulnerable in battle...... I don't know what they're doing with this thing. ”

Taral complained casually, and then continued:

"The battle is very anxious, it just so happens that there is a Leviathan siege dreadnought mech left behind in the moon of Gravia, in order to enhance our combat effectiveness, Ogedai asked Master Quintor to stuff him in."

Fu Qinghai glanced up at Wokotai, and the strong man with a futou was expressionless.

Fu Qinghai had heard in his previous life that due to the slow movement speed of the dreadnought mecha, which was disliked by the white scar warriors, there was only one dreadnought mecha in the entire White Scar Army.

Unexpectedly, this dreadnought mecha is Wokotai......

Wokotai is really ruthless, he performed an on-the-spot amputation operation for Fu Qinghai when they met for the first time, and now he has directly cut off his arms in order to temporarily enhance his combat effectiveness.

"Look at what, look!"

Wo Kotai glanced at Fu Qinghai angrily, and snorted in his nose.

Fu Qinghai retracted his gaze, did not touch the old boss's moldy head, looked at Talal, and asked:

"And after that?"

Talraldao:

"We set up a bureau on the Stiletto, we hid the dreadnought, deliberately showed that we were invincible, closed the Void Shield, attracted the Midnight Lord's people to teleport to jump our battleship, and then led them to the Underground Cabin Laboratory, re-opened the Void Shield, Master Quintto's intelligent control machine soldiers and armed machine servants in front, and the Leviathan siege dreadnought mecha in Ögedei behind, the two flanked back and forth, wiped out the Midnight Lord Battle Gang, and captured a scimitar-class frigate."

A very classic white scar tactical style.

Fu Qinghai commented in his heart.

For White Scar, feigning defeat is a sparse and common tactical move, and anyone should think twice before deciding to go after White Scar.

Fu Qinghai remembered that at the door of Master Quintto's bilge laboratory, there were two Castellan intelligent control soldiers, commonly known as "Big White", this thing was very violent, plus the armed servants made by the biological sage who was proficient in biochemical transformation technology, Master Quinto himself was also a force to be reckoned with.

Almost none of these great sages of the Mechanicus Cult are pure scientific researchers, and they are all fierce when they fight.

As for Tarral's complaining that the nanomechanical dendrite technology of the Micro-Ohm Messiah Cultivators is useless, it can only be said that Taral is a pure warrior, he only considers problems from the perspective of combat, and Fu Qinghai, as a scientific researcher, knows the great significance of nanotechnology.

This is the same as 3D printing, whether it can be realized is one thing, and whether it can ensure the strength of the material after realization is another thing, at this stage, the nano creations of the Mechanic God Cult are very fragile, they can't resist bombs, they can't withstand hot melting, and they can't resist plasma, but it doesn't mean that nanotechnology is useless, and it is very useful in other places.

"Finally, we received news of the Emperor's victory on the month of Gravia, and without waiting for the Great Khan to summon us, we set out on our own to return to Terra."

Talal concluded.

Fu Qinghai nodded in understanding, raised his head to look at Wokotai, and said with a smile:

"How's it going, boss, is it nice to stay inside?"

Ogedai snorted in his nose and said:

"It's so uncomfortable that it's like being swallowed in your stomach by an orc warlord, do you want to try it?"

Fu Qinghai shook his head and said he didn't want to.

It's okay in non-wartime, but the dreadnought mech is even more uncomfortable in battle, and the strong electrical signal stimulation is not much better than an electric oven, and sometimes it will scorch the driver alive.

Fu Qinghai said seriously to Wokotai:

"Boss, leave it to me, I'll figure it out."

Wokotai said disdainfully:

"It's just pain, when have I ever been afraid?"

According to the rules of the tribe and the brotherhood in the white scar, Fu Qinghai should call Wokotai "Wokotai Nayan Khan", but Fu Qinghai is not from Qiaogris, he likes to be called "Boss", and Ogedai is too lazy to correct him.

Wokotai had no choice but to be put into the dreadnought sarcophagus, but Fu Qinghai, as a reincarnation, had a way to make him comfortable, and it was not impossible to even drag him out of the dreadnought mecha.

Fu Qinghai summed up the experience of the Short Sword.

In general, Ogedai and the others were still very sober at the critical moment, knowing that their primary purpose was also an important task entrusted to him by the Great Khan, which was to protect a valuable loyal high-level technical priest like Master Kunto, rather than insisting on delivering food to the meat grinder in the siege of Terra with a weak force.

Although they were not afraid to take part in the Siege of Terra.

You must know that in the era before the Great Expedition, the Emperor had a conflict with the Casting Leader of Mars because he was fighting with the Cult of the Mechanicus for the ownership of a biological sage.

The importance of Master Quintor can be seen.

Ogedai asked:

"What about you, Aoyama, what have you been through? I read the investigation report sent to me by Frajos, the so-called psionic riots, there are many suspicions, Albuthlang and Aron came back and told me that one of the female psykers and you know each other, what the hell is going on? ”

"Whoa......

Fu Qinghai showed an indescribable expression:

"Well, that's the narrator on the Saussalan, and she's actually an unlawful psyker, but she's loyal, blinded by chaos, and I'm not trying to defend her, but she really can't do without her help in the battle of the shipwreck...... Later, I was transported to a hive world, where I stayed for a long time, and I happened to meet a detachment of Space Wolves before I could return to Terra. ”

Ogedai asked:

"What's the matter with your power armor, I remember that I handed you a set of MK4 extreme power armor, how did it become like this? What about your mechanical servo arm? ”

Fu Qinghai Road:

"That MK4 Extreme Power Armor and Mechanical Servo Arm have been damaged, this is my own power armor, I call it 'Blue Shell'."

"You can build your own power armor......"

Wokotai's eyes narrowed, and his gaze was deep and incomprehensible.

The three of them talked in detail, and after communicating the latest situation.

Wokotai's face shrunk in the cabin of the dreadnought, and suddenly showed a hint of a wicked smile that Fu Qinghai felt familiar with, and said:

"Congratulations, Aoyama, my decision to promote you to captain has been recognized by the Great Khan and the Ministry of War, and now you are an official Astarte company commander."

Fu Qinghai was slightly stunned.

It's a good thing that I'm a company commander, why does Wokotai show this expression.

Before Fu Qinghai led the team to jump into the space scrap ship, Wokotai temporarily promoted Fu Qinghai to captain to facilitate the command of the tactical team, and Astarte's rank of captain corresponded to the position of company commander, so at that time, Humal half-playfully called Fu Qinghai "Qingshan Nayan Khan".

It is also because of this that Fu Qinghai painted the mark of the captain's rank on the shoulder armor of the Blue Shell Power Battle Armor, so Saloyan Scarson will call him "Aoyama Company Commander" after seeing it.

But Fu Qinghai is actually a fake company commander with a military rank but no real number, and this "captain rank" has not been certified by the genetic prototype and the Ministry of Military Affairs.

Sure enough, Ogedai then said:

"The status we marked for you is alive, and the status that the Ultramarines reported for you is missing, but the state marked for you by the Ministry of Military Affairs...... It's death. ”

"That is." Wokotai smiled evilly, "In the database of the Ministry of Military Affairs, you are an Astarte company commander who has died honorably. ”

I see......

Fu Qinghai completely understood.

Fu Qinghai wondered at first why his rank promotion was so smooth.

Although Fu Qinghai's combat record can be called outstanding, the length of service is too short, not even three years, and it is doubtful that his combat experience is not enough to command a company of Space Marines.

Presumably, on the side of the genetic prototype and the Ministry of Military Affairs, Fu Qinghai's military rank promotion is somewhat "posthumously awarded".

The dead are the greatest.

Everyone is dead, what's wrong with being a company commander.

The three of them were chatting when a dense sound of footsteps could be heard outside the hallway.

A group of mortal officials wearing the uniforms of the Ministry of Military Affairs rushed over in a hurry, and when they saw Fu Qinghai, they quickly said with a smile on their faces and the photos on the electronic tablet in their hands:

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Company Commander Aoyama, we made a mistake with your information, this is a mistake and negligence in our work, I sincerely apologize to you, and we will update you on your service status."

Fu Qinghai didn't care about it, waved his hand and said:

"Alright, just relabel."

However, Taral was very dissatisfied, he glanced at these bureaucrats, and said coldly:

"Unauthorized marking of the service status of an unconfirmed fallen Space Marine as dead...... But yours are the ones you have. ”

The officials of the Ministry of Military Affairs could only apologize one after another, and then took their leave.

Fu Qinghai can also understand that the Horus Rebellion is too chaotic, the entire galaxy has become a pot of porridge, and there is no such thing as "retirement" in the service status of the Space Marines, and it is normal for the Ministry of Military Affairs to subconsciously think that Fu Qinghai is dead.

After the officials of the Ministry of Military Affairs left, Fu Qinghai asked, "What about Aaron and Albuslang?" ”

Talal explains:

"They're on battleships in space orbit, and they're involved in Terra's defense."

The battle is far from over, and the Throne World remains vigilant.

Fu Qinghai nodded, and then asked:

"What about Master Quintto?"

Talal says:

"He was on the side of the Mechanic Order in Terra, and he forgot to tell you that the Mechanic God Cult on Mars is going to be reorganized into the Mechanic Order, and with the level of Master Kunto, his status on Mars is estimated to be even further."

The Emperor has strengthened his grip on the Cult of the Mechanics.

Fu Qinghai realized in his heart.

Unfortunately, even so, this control eventually fell into the hands of the Council of High Lords, and the emperor who sat on the golden throne could no longer directly interfere in the management of the empire.

During the Horus Rebellion, not only Mars was fighting a civil war, but many casting worlds were fighting a civil war, and the knight families and the Cult of the Mechanicus on the steel ring belt, the pig brain played the dog brain.

The Cult of the Dark Mechanics fled to the Eye of Fear, and the wounds of the dead and wounded of the loyal Cult of the Mechanica, the only surviving biosage like Master Quintor will be a powerful figure on Mars in the future.

Fu Qinghai said goodbye to his old comrades-in-arms and old bosses, and prepared to talk to Master Kunto.

Fu Qinghai first returned to the residence arranged for him by the legion, and put down the metal box he had been carrying.

This is the box that Koshvito prepared for him, which contains all kinds of bits and pieces of Fu Qinghai's loot and personal belongings:

Hall Kemp's servo skull.

Green Soul Artificial Intelligence Chip (Qing Ming).

Unknown authentication card.

E-11 blaster rifle.

Model 211-V plasma cutter.

Lady Viper's Cocktail Poison.

(PS: The cocktail poison is a redemption item for Madame Viper, I wrote it out when I assimilated it earlier, and I have already made it up, so I will say to the book friends who are chasing fast.) ）

Fei Yi's necklace had been hanging around her neck, and the tile steel sword Broken Heart had been inserted at the side of her thigh.

These two things never left Fu Qinghai's side.

The former is used to remind oneself that there is a girl who has been waiting for him, while the latter is currently the only solution to the subspace demons and various psionic phenomena.
