Chapter 47 Key Intelligence
The world of the nest of Sintila.
Sintila, the capital of the Misty Star Field's Calissian Sector, is both a thriving Imperial hub and the most populous planet in the sector, known as the "Shining Spark" and the home planet of the Imperial Guard's famous legion, the Sintila Fusiliers.
Sibelius main nest, upper nest area.
Two huge Oglins walked side by side on the street, two meters five or six tall, carrying the belts and shoulder straps of the Imperial Guard, as well as the inexplicable body odor emitted from their bodies, which made the pedestrians around them stay away from them.
One of them, the Euglien, looked vigilantly to the left and right, and asked in a low voice:
"Why do you have to come to Sintila?"
"Because this is the capital of the Star Sector, where information and intelligence meet, if I hide in the garden world far away from the shipping route like you, I won't get any news, understand?"
The other Oglim said.
"As you said, this is the capital of the Star District, and the Triangle Palace of the Inquisition is here! That's the Inquisition headquarters of the entire Sector, and you're so daring. ”
The Ogren tried to keep their excited voices to a low level.
As the capital of the Star District, Sintila is not only a court of trial, but also central government agencies such as the Government Council, the Ministry of the Interior, the Ministry of Military Affairs, the Star Language Court, and the Ministry of Justice.
His companion said nonchalantly:
"I'm a Space Marine of the Eleventh Company of the White Scar Warband, and I'm still a non-commissioned officer, even if my identity is revealed, what can they do with me?"
"Uh......"
The Oglin people were speechless for a moment.
"Hey, listen to me, Tristan."
His companion continued:
"You don't learn your voice well, the real Eugli speaks low Gothic, and should have a dialect accent similar to that of the Orcs, and the grunt is indistinct. In addition, your sneaky eyes do not conform to the traditional impression that the Oglin people give to others. ”
The Ogren said angrily:
"How do I know how Greenskins speak low Gothic!"
The other Oglim said:
"Then shut your mouth, okay?"
……
The two of them weave their way through the complex network of streets of the main nest city, turning left and right through pipes, overpasses, and tunnels, until they finally come to a secret stronghold, which appears to be the back door of a certain hotel.
The Oglin spoke to the guards behind the door, opened the iron door, and led his companions in, the guards stuck their heads out to look left and right, and the street children crouching at the ends of the dark alleyways gave him a confirmed gesture - no one was following.
After entering the hotel, the Oglin took off the camouflage and mask on his head, and the young face with a black hydra tattooed on the side of his face was none other than Fifty-Six.
On the other hand, the Eugli raised his hand to tear the disguise off his face, revealing a bald head branded with black prayers and a serious face of bitterness and hatred.
Surrounded by seven or eight mortals, men and women, young and old, all respectfully shouted in unison:
"Master."
Number Fifty-Six waved his hand and said:
"Intelligence?"
"Master, that's right."
One of the old men stood up and said:
"We recently found out that a fleet of ronin merchants passing through the industrial world of Hovia was attacked by the Emperor's Sons, and only some of them escaped, according to them, the leaders of the Emperor's Sons called themselves 'Soul-Cutting Men'."
"The Man Who Cuts His Soul ......"
Fifty-six muttered to himself, lost in thought.
After thinking for a moment to no avail, he turned his head to look at the old man:
"Who do you think it should be?"
The old man said slowly:
"Based on what I've heard from other intel during the rebellion, I've deduced that the man should be the 'Soul Cutter' Adoron."
No. 56's eyes lit up:
"The second-in-command of the Emperor's Son Legion, the Legion Consul, the former 'Golden Hammer' Adoron?"
The old man nodded:
"I think so, master."
Fifty-six narrowed his eyes and touched his chin:
"Tsk, that's interesting, I guess he wants this."
……
The limestone fortress, one of Centila's famous landmarks, this slender purple-black stone tower is the highest point in Sibelius, the hive capital, and the headquarters of the Star Whisperers of Centila, where the Star Whisperers choir is made up of six Star Whisperers.
The Startalkers have spent their entire lives in this airy bell tower, where they have been engaged in intensive thinking exercises and the study of a large number of symbolic codes, and there is no one else here except the Startalkers and a few attendants who serve and assist them.
Two Space marines in power armor are climbing this spiral staircase that seems to have no end.
"Do we have to do this?"
The Whisperer warrior asked, as he climbed:
"Can't we just go the normal way?"
"It's too late."
The alpha warrior in the armor of the white scar said:
"Where are they going to hunt now? When we return to the Schwerin Nest, we will send a message in the Star Language, and perhaps the Emperor's Son will run away. That's Adoron, the man White Scar wants to kill the most. ”
Finally climbing to the top, a cobalt-blue gelatinous substance gushed out of Fifty-Six's body, automatically covering the surface of the power armor, changing the paint from red and white to gray without any markings, and then kicked open the door of the stone tower.
Under the blank and frightened gaze of a group of astral whisperers.
Fifty-six raised the explosive pistol in his hand, pointed at the blind white fat old man in the middle, and said:
"Send a star-language message as I requested, and I won't embarrass you."
The white fat old man trembled and scolded:
"Heresy, don't you think ......"
"Don't talk nonsense with me, if you don't do it, I'll give birth to you and the mistress of the planetary governor back then......"
Fifty-six interrupted him impatiently, and before he could finish speaking, the fat old man immediately raised his hands:
"I do, sir."
No. 56 followed the old man to the high platform.
The Whisperer warriors pointed their guns at the Starwhisperers around them.
They were all blindfolded, but now they all "looked" at No. 56 on the high platform, and the "eyes" seemed to say: "You say, you go on, what happened to him and the mistress of the planetary governor?"
Beneath the stone towers of the limestone fortress, the Nest Gills and Imperial Guards who were guarding the place had all been subdued, and strangely enough, the attackers did not kill them, but simply knocked them unconscious and gagged them together.
Afterwards, the Star Whisperers in the stone tower were also hesitant to talk about the matter, causing the inquisitors and legal officers in charge of investigating the matter to be confused and very confused.
……
Planet Uriah V.
The Thunderhawk gunboats slowly descended on the tundra ground, the prop props kicked up large piles of snow, the steaming door seals rattled mechanically, spewed steam, and the gangways opened and drooped, slamming into the slush melted by the whining engines.
The wind howled, the frost crusted into a crust on the visor, the armored boots crunched on the snow, and the Space Marines quickly scanned the surroundings with their guns.
The average temperature is more than minus 70 degrees Celsius in the dead world.
If it weren't for the Midnight Lord's War Gang surrounding this place, Fu Qinghai would not have imagined that there was an Assassin Temple of Calidus hidden on this planet without any resources and the environment was extremely harsh.
If the Midnight Lord had not relied on Talos' prophetic powers to capture a Calidus Assassin, and the Assassin confided in the location of the Temple under the Midnight Lord's miraculous torture, the Eighth Legion would not have been able to find this hidden place.
By interrogating the mortal slaves and traitor crews aboard the Bleak, Fu Qinghai learned two things:
1. Originally, there was also a Chaos War Gang here, the strike cruiser Blood Alliance led by the enchanted warrior "Supreme", but the opponent's soul hunter Talos predicted his arrival and ran away in advance.
2. Originally, the Midnight Lord was besieging the Assassin Temple on the ground, and then was urgently recalled to the battleship, and the action was in a hurry, resulting in some ground vehicles stranded on the surface.
Fu Qinghai came to receive this batch of ground vehicles.
Fu Qinghai vaguely remembered that the cruiser Blood Alliance, with the prophecy ability of the soul hunter, had turned evil into good fortune many times in the chaotic meat grinder of the Eye of Fear, and if he wanted to hunt them, he might have to think of some way to shield the prophecy.
The crowd trudged along the valley with difficulty, and in such an environment, the space marines could feel the slightest chill in the power armor, and mortals would probably not survive more than a quarter of an hour in the wilderness.
"Khan, there is a report from the technical servants on the communications network that the fuel pipes and fuel tanks on the landing Thunderhawk gunboat have partially frozen."
Said a Space Marine.
"I see."
Fu Qinghai did not stop and continued to move forward.
Finally, they saw the black fortress hidden in the valley, and the three Typhon heavy siege tanks parked outside the fortress.
"Chassis with the RAND Raider, made in the world of Annverus 9, there are not many such good things."
Fu Qinghai muttered to himself, quite satisfied in his heart.
He could tell the model specifications of several vehicles at a glance.
After some investigation, everyone found that the remaining servants in the siege tank had all frozen to death, and these rigid guys may not know to take out promethium from the fuel tank to light it for warmth, Fu Qinghai ordered his men to take these three vehicles, drive them out of the valley, and return to the battleship with Thunder Eagle.
Then look up at the fortress not far away.
Multiple arrays of Void Shields rising from the side of the valley can withstand bombardment and surprise attacks from orbit and the sky, and like many similar ground-based defenses, overlapping shield force field edges are more vulnerable to ground attacks.
The fortress itself was blurred by the erratic air, like a layer of mist that emitted heat, and the Void Shield distorted the vision behind it, shrinking the battlements into uneven outlines, and Fu Qinghai could only vaguely see a figure on the city wall.
Although he objectively saved this place, Fu Qinghai didn't plan to communicate anything with the Assassin Temple in Calidus, took one last look, turned around and prepared to leave.
"Khan."
At this moment, the soldier beside him raised his hand and pointed at Fu Qinghai's back.
Fu Qinghai turned around and looked.
A short and rickety figure, passing through the vague void shield, leaving a row of footprints in the snow behind him, slowly walked in the direction where Fu Qinghai was.
Fu Qinghai stood still and waited.
It was an old woman in a fur coat.
She lifted her wrinkled and pigmented brown face, her pale curly hair fluttering in the wind, and asked in a hoarse voice:
"Thanks to the Astarte Order for their rescue, can you know the number of your troops?"
Fu Qinghai nodded and reported to his company:
"White Scar Warband, Brotherhood of Divine Machines, Aoyama Khan."
The old woman replied with the Aquila salute and said:
"The daughter of Calidus owes you a favor, Aoyama Khan."
Fu Qinghai smiled, and the laughter was a little distorted in the filtering of the megaphone and the howling of the blizzard:
"If you could see me as I am, maybe I would feel this gratitude even more."
The old woman was stunned for a second when she heard this, and then her body and clothes began to twist and change, turning into a wriggling black substance, and her height elongated and increased......
In the end, a tall girl with a hot body stood in front of Fu Qinghai, her bumpy body and face were all wrapped in a black tight leather coat of inexplicable material, except for the long brown-red braided hair on the back of her head.
The woman in black tilted her head, spread her hands, and her voice became magnetic:
"Are you satisfied, Aoyama Khan?"
Yo, it's really changed.
Although he didn't show his face, his figure was really good, and it was exactly the same as the shape in the official animation and picture.
Facing the assassin's rhetorical question, Fu Qinghai laughed:
"Satisfied, there will be a date later, goodbye."
After speaking, he turned around and led his men away.
But what I thought was:
Pretty is pretty, but it's better not to fight the Kalidus Assassins in the future...... Don't intersect with any of the Assassin Temple Assassins.
……
On the way back.
The fleet, with two new additions, is heading to Mandeville Point on the outskirts of the Uriah system, preparing to enter subspace.
Xia Hao Flossing was dressed in a robe, and walked quickly towards Fu Qinghai's captain's room.
The Star Whisperer came to the door, the attendant Lin Yu was not there, and the person in charge of duty was another unknown Star Marine, who glanced at Xia Hao and seemed to say something in the communication channel, and then the hatch opened automatically.
Xia Hao walked inside, and found that Tracy Gray, the navigator, and Yolanda Ataira, the ronin trader, were actually there, and the two women were dressed in gorgeous aristocratic costumes, sitting on the sofa drinking tea and chatting, smiling and smiling, and the atmosphere was good.
Seeing this scene, Xia Hao felt a little inexplicably unhappy in his heart: Why are you two here? I'm the only one who knows Khan's secret.
Fu Qinghai's captain's room is very large, including a private study, a reception area, a rest area, etc., Fu Qinghai raised his head from the desk and asked:
"What's wrong, Natsuha?"
Xia Hao walked to the table and said:
"Khan, there is urgent information."
After saying that, he kept silent.
The second daughter on the sofa was slightly stunned, and Yulanda immediately smoothed her skirt and stood up, and said:
"My lord, then I'll avoid it."
Fu Qinghai bowed slightly, nodded his finger at Tracy, signaling that she didn't have to go, and waited for the merchant ronin to walk out of the hatch quickly, Fu Qinghai asked:
"What's the matter?"
Xia Hao quickly reported:
"Khan, we have received a message from the world of the Hive of Sintila, the capital of the Calisis Sector, very briefly, in one sentence-"
"Hovia, Eldoron."
"The sender of the message calls himself: The three of two is multiplied by seven."
23x7?
Isn't it 56?
Fu Qinghai can get the result without calculus.
Ah, by the way, Fifty-Six said he was going to Caliss...... The puzzle is a junior high school math problem, and this guy is really boring.
Fu Qinghai looked at the navigator and asked:
"Hovia...... Is it a place name? ”
Tracy stood up and said:
"There's a Hovia industrial world, located on the western edge of the Extreme Star Field, Khan."
It is indeed a place name, and "Adoron" is ......
Fu Qinghai was taken aback.
Could it be the "Adoron"?
Fifty-Six had used Sintila's Star Whisperer to send messages to him, and he knew what the Brotherhood was currently receiving from the Genetic Prototype before leaving.
Fu Qinghai's eyes suddenly became fierce.
That's probably the "Adoron"!
"Modify the course of the fleet and go to the industrial world of Hovia."
Fu Qinghai immediately instructed Tracy.
"Yes, Khan."
The navigator took the command.
Then Fu Qinghai opened the communication channel again:
"Joshida, Camille, Sutterfaran, Lin Yu, gather in the battle room!"

In the original book, at the end of the Horus Rebellion, during the Battle of Samarath, he was killed by the Terrorwing veteran of the Black Angels, which is the original plot, let me tell you. I set up a reincarnation person involved in the event, which caused him not to die, but it has nothing to do with the plot of this book, so I won't repeat it in the text. Then the Midnight Lord's revenge on the Temple of Calidus, the specific time of occurrence is undetermined, it may be in 41K, or it may be in 31K-40K, so I won't go into details.
