Chapter Thirty-Four: The Crab Catches the Cicada, and the Crow Follows

In the prison of the nest capital.

A rickety promethium lamp cast a patch of orange light, damp, dark, fishy, foul smell, orc bodily fluids, excrement, and mutilated limbs...... And so on, all this filth, you can see it everywhere in the corner.

Karamanda was looking down and arranging the utensils in her hand.

He is a very adaptable executioner, and the Night Bat Company Commander carries his own interrogation equipment, but he can also make full use of a range of items already on the scene as a tool for torturing and abusing prisoners, the latter being more frightening and exciting than the former.

It's just that in comparison, the Orcs are really not a hard-mouthed race, and sometimes they don't even need to be punished, just a threat and intimidation, and the orc boys and fart spirits will shake out what they know like a bamboo tube pouring beans.

This made Karamanda feel a little tedious.

The fulfillment and satisfaction that comes with work is not so strong.

"We, we belong to the Red Sun Machine Repair Gang, the Evil Sun Clan's great skill bully Lao Lame and his technician boy Bao Zigat and the crazy boy Gao Sha Nib, are the construction technicians and pilots of the ancient giant 'Big Fat Brother' ......"

A fart said while crying:

"They're participating in the 'Ripping Face' Elder Gurak's Scarlet Waaagh, and they're going to the hoop, and the shrimp...... Oh no humans, there's a big war in the knightly world, and we, we just pass by here, and we race by the way. ”

"Woo woo, and, also, there are many ambitious technocrats in the Crimson Waaagh, including Gurak, who manipulates the entire Waaagh behind his back......"

Karamanda didn't ask a word.

This fart has said all the irrelevant things.

The night bat company commander even thought it was a little verbose.

Karamanda couldn't remember any of these garbled orc names, and he only came up with one message:

The orcs of the Evil Sun Clan are called the "Red Sun Machine Repair Gang", and their war boss is called "Old Lame", and he is not in the temporary stronghold, but leads the entire convoy to the outpost of the satellite city and beats up the Chaos Gang.

The original word for fart is "red canned food".

There is a high probability that it is the Chaos War Gang.

"What about the Snake Bite Clan?"

Karamanda asked.

"The orcs of the Snake Bite Clan belong to the Burst Bone Clan."

The fart wiped a handful of snot and replied honestly:

"We are the big technical masters of the Red Sun Machine Repair Gang, and we often ask them to buy oil gourd Sgouge, so the two sides are more familiar, and this time we will take a boat with us to Waaagh......

The grease secreted by the oil gourd Scroog can be used as oil lubrication - this is the same trivia Khan told me.

Karamanda thought to herself.

He put down the steel pliers in his hand with a "snap":

"I didn't ask you about your subordination, I asked you about ...... scale"

Seeing that this fart didn't quite understand, Karamanda had to change his statement:

"Snake bite clan, how many people are left?"

What Karamanda wants to know is how many fish have slipped through the net after the last battle.

"They also have a giant beast and a team of pigs!"

The butt snapped to his senses and replied screaming.

"Follow the lame boss to fight, and there's probably more... And ......," the fart snapped his fingers and counted, "about seven... Eight pig-riding boys, gone...... Can you put the scissors down, dear lord. ”

"Good."

Karamanda nodded and got up to leave.

Karamanda went to the next cell, compared the two confessions from the orc boy in detail, and after confirming that what the fart said was correct, the commander of the Night Bat Company gave the order "Give it a good time", and then turned and left.

He's going to report to the Warlord at the Spire.

……

"Red Sun Mechanics Repair Help...... Haven't heard of it. ”

Fu Qinghai listened to Karamanda's report, touched his chin, and thought to himself.

"Burst Bone Tribe...... I haven't heard of it either. ”

The famous tribe of the Snake Bite Clan, he had only heard of the "Demon Dragon Killer Tribe", that tribe could domesticate the Tyranid as a biological weapon, there was something.

Now it seems that Fu Qinghai has already fought with half of the six major clans of the orc society: Gaofu, Evil Sun, Evil Moon, Snake Bites, Blood Axes, and Dead Skulls.

This is just a branch fleet, and the real main force of the Orks has already been brought to the Ring of Steel...... It seems that the appearance of orcs is just a coincidence?

Do I need to tell the hoop?

The orcs are just passing by, but what about the Sadistic War Gang?

Fu Qinghai looked at the people in the conference room and said:

"Okay, no matter where the other side comes from, now that we know their military deployment, we can start arranging the battle plan now...... Joshida! ”

Romance

"I'm here, Khan."

"Lead two companies and set out with me."

"Yes, Khan!"

"Karamanda, lead half a company to garrison the nest."

"Understood, Khan!"

"Sutterfarran, continue your reconnaissance operation."

"Roger, Khan!"

The Raven Guard replied in a deep voice.

Sutter Flange opened the black armor he was clenching and looked down at something in his palm:

It was a strip of cloth with a peculiar smell on it, like a mixture of blood, perfume, sweat, and musk...... The Raven Guard was impressed by the taste.

It's the smell of that Nest cult leader.

That Slaanesh champion, she's still alive.

The orc convoy failed to catch up and kill her.

The strip of cloth had been picked up by Satfarran in an area near the equatorial jungle, and it seemed that the fish that had slipped through the net had fled there...... As the chief assassin of the warband, Satyfaran will not allow anyone to escape from his grasp.

The Raven Guard had made up his mind to check it out.

Finally, Fu Qinghai looked at the two guard officers who were looking at him, Li Hanxing and Ta Riha, and said:

"The Death Cavalry and the Barbarian Cavalry also set out with me...... No, as the leading troops, you will go out of the city first. ”

"Roger, sir!"

The two of them said yes loudly, looking excited.

Fu Qinghai knew very well in his heart:

The Imperial Guard cannot be required by the standards of the Space Marines, many of the Imperial Guard Corps are war-weary and timid, which is normal, after all, the Star Marines are biological weapons specially created for use in war, while the Imperial Guard are just military-trained mortals, and the hormone levels in the body of the two are different.

In addition, some Astarte wargroup commanders will also refuse tasks that they believe may lead to excessive casualties.

Tariha and Li Hanxing actively asked for battle.

This made Fu Qinghai very happy.

Was cavalry useful in the era of interstellar warfare? Fu Qinghai didn't know, but he knew: someone who dared to become a cavalryman in the era of interstellar warfare...... There will be no shortage of courage!

After all, the ancient cavalry, dressed in steel-forged armor and riding well-bred war horses, charged against a group of leg-dependent infantry, which was just a class crush......

And the cavalry of the interstellar age, riding primitive and backward four-legged biological vehicles, holding simple and crude melee weapons, charged at the armored cluster - this is courage.

Fu Qinghai has always believed: there is no stupid courage, only stupid commanders. Courage is commendable, but cavalry against tanks is really not very smart, and he naturally will not use two cavalry units to fight against the orc convoy of the Evil Sun Clan.

He had other ideas.

…………

Planet Kernak III, orbit in space.

Eugene Eleanor is commanding the Suzheng and Warhorse.

"Steering, side aligned with the asteroid belt."

He commanded.

The two warships completed the tactical maneuver together.

"Target: Three moving asteroids, first three salvos of light spears, and then anti-explosive macro cannons are ready."

The artillery deck was quickly ready, and thick golden laser columns shot out, and the orc boulders disguised as asteroids failed to fool the ornith's scanning. As long as the plasma thruster is installed on the back, even if its energy signal peak is very weak, even if it moves very slowly, even if it does not have any weapons installed on its body......

It was an orc monolith, too.

Three orc boulders were ignited.

The inside was indeed hollow, and from a distance you could even see metal fragments and green debris pouring out of it, and those "green debris" were dense orc crews.

"Hmph, Greenskin likes to be a little smart."

Eugene Eleanor snorted disdainfully.

Ground battles are in full swing, and there is no rest in space.

The acting captain is following Fu Qinghai's request.

Keep the intensity of harassment and temptation low.

He soon discovered that the orcs were trying to paralyze the human fleet by using the irregular squeezing and collision of the asteroid belt, creating three orc boulders with a miniature propulsion system without any weapon arrays installed, and quietly approaching the fleet—without the weapons array, it was naturally impossible to pose a threat to the fleet.

And their real goal, Eugene guesses, may be to push the orc boulder to the surface, turn it into a meteor and smash it into the world of the nest, or something else.

It's a pity that these little tricks can be seen through at a glance by the vicious, shrewd and cautious naval captain, no matter what the orcs want to do, just don't let them succeed.

"Sir, there's a message from the Space Wolves' frigate that it is about to arrive at the outskirts of the Kernak system."

"Good."

By the time one more frigate is added, Eugene will have more cards in his hand and will be able to ask the Khan for some "high-intensity" and "more proactive" military operations in space.

Instead of hovering over the nest all the time.

"Sir, urgent news!"

A crew member reported loudly:

"The Kluth's warball ships, as well as the Chaos Gang's Underworld-class cruisers, are moving towards us at the same time!"

Well? What's going on?

They moved together?

Eugene was stunned for a moment, and when he heard the news, he subconsciously turned his head and glanced at the deck of the command bridge.

Standing in silence stood a group of unusually "tall and strong" Space Marines, standing in a line on the bridge with huge powered horses in their hands, motionless like iron towers, like statues of fine gold.

They are Eugene's reassurance.

Fu Qinghai and Qiao Shida took the initiative to take away the two companies, and Karamanda stayed behind to lead half of the company, so where was the remaining half of the company in the end?

A: It was on a battleship.

The only difference is that.

These fifty Space Marines, all wearing the latest Assault Tactical Dreadnought armor produced by the Phaeton Casting World, are the Iron Float Terminator unit of the warband.

…………

Planet Kernak III.

On the surface, the equatorial jungle, the rotting and bubbling black swamps, the deep jungle of miasma, a collapsed stone monument hidden among vines and weeds, propping up a round arch.

The surface of the stele is covered with traces of time, and there is also a humanoid creature that resembles a human, but is taller and more slender, and the mutilated carvings depict them fighting, winning, celebrating, praying, and cheering...... However, these carvings of the glorious moments of the past have gradually disappeared in the long river of history.

Suddenly, the light flashed.

A male Spirit warrior dressed in an ancient costume and holding a star dart rifle quietly lifted the vines and green leaves above his head and emerged from behind the half-collapsed stone monument, he looked left and right to make sure there was no danger, and then carefully led the huge creature behind him out.

It was a dinosaur-like creature.

In the portal of the network, one after another, the Savage Spirit Clan warriors walked out of it, and they quickly formed a small team, carefully scanning the dense jungle in front of the team, the muzzle of their star dart rifles constantly moving with their gaze. In order to guard against possible enemies, the Savage Spirit warriors integrated their senses into the rhythm of the forest.

Nothing breaks the silence other than the expected ordinary sounds of wild animals, and if there are enemies nearby, the local protozoa will flee or warn them in some way.

Satisfied, the female Eldar warrior in the lead lowered her Star Dart rifle, raised her right fist, and spread her fingers - a gesture indicating that everything was normal. She put her rifle back on her shoulder, silently rose from her crouching position, and crept forward, carefully taking every step she took as she made her way through the trees.

And on top of a waterfall cliff in the middle of the jungle.

A human woman in a tattered cloak lies on a black rock moistened by the mist, licking the salty water from the stone in small gulps, while using a telescope to observe the wild spirit team in the distance that has turned over and mounted a dinosaur.

The woman licked her wet gums and smiled.

She sought the guidance of the true gods to this inaccessible rotting equatorial jungle, and when she saw the spiky-eared aliens who were cautiously exploring the jungle, she immediately understood why the Prince of Darkness and Joy had led her here.

The spirits, Slaanesh's favorite ration.

Not one of them.

The woman smiled contentedly.

She was the favorite of Slaanesh, the leader of the Cult of Supreme Pleasure, a cult of sadism addicted to extreme sensual and emotional thrills......

But none of that matters.

At this moment, she is still alive.

Those deadly attacks will not end her life, and even the most serious injuries can be gradually healed by the blessing of the true God, but at this price...... The woman laughed again.

Her body was severely deformed, her complexion was strangely pink, her lips had been amputated, her teeth and gums were exposed, her tongue was like a lizard, her feet were alienated to the shape of horseshoe, she had neither eyelids nor the bridge of her nose, her nostrils were bare, her ears were as large as those of cave-like bats, and a pair of twisted horns grew from the top of her head.

Most importantly: her right hand, the human part, was gone, replaced by a huge claw, crab claw-like limbs as sharp as scissors.

This is the true Slaanesh champion.

Slaanesh's pet is lying on a cliff and surveying her prey, a team of savage spirits.

On the outskirts of the forest, the chief assassin of the Iron Float Warrior Regiment had already tracked down alone.

Sutter Farran rolled out of the jet bike, fingers twirling a handful of dirt and taking a closer look.

Looking away from the strange footprint, the Raven Guard looked up, a gloomy gaze flickering in the dark hole, and he silently looked at the dense forest ahead.
