Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Harlequin's Gift
……
After a perfect negotiation, Macarius prepared to board a transport plane back to his Imperial Flagship.
As he walked out of the tower, Macarius saw a woman dressed as an admiral.
Macarius recalled, remembering that he had seen the woman before.
She is Hera, the Admiral of the Forge Saint Navy.
As soon as she walked up to Makarius, Hera saluted the Aquila.
"I've heard of you, you were the first soldier in the war to lead the team to ram the enemy ships under the fire of the rebels, and you are a brave and brilliant young general." Macarius said.
"Yes, thank you for the compliment." Hera acknowledged with her head held high.
Of course, Hera, the great name of the Sun Lord, had heard of it, and it was not easy to get the praise of the Sun Lord, even if it was a group army general like Seganus and Talka, it was difficult to see the good face of the Sun Lord.
"Are you still a member of the caravan?" Makarius asked suddenly.
"No, I'm already the marshal of the Myriad Blade fleet." Hera replied, "I am honored that the Prophet recognized my abilities. ”
Macarius was slightly surprised.
This Karsk system is really short of people, even such a young Hera can be a marshal.
Moreover, the name of the Blade of the Ten Thousand Machines is too ostentatious, assuming that there is a fleet in a remote galaxy named the Emperor's Sword, I am afraid that the state religion and the inquisition will have to visit the door the next day.
"It's a pity, I originally wanted you to come to my flagship as a deputy captain." Macarius said.
Macarius believed that the position of vice-captain of the Ping Emperor was still attractive to Hera.
Hera's top ships were frigates, and other cruisers were still being built, and the young marshal was able to become the number one naval figure in the Karsk system not only because of his ability, but also because there were not many warships.
The Marshal can grow with the fleet, which is a good thing for the galaxy, but not necessarily for Hera herself, who is now effectively a captain of the convoy.
"No, sir." Hera refused, "Loyalty is the principle of my family's life that has been passed down to this day, and we have been defeated because of this, and I will always abide by the principle of loyalty." ”
"Very well, loyalty is the most important quality of a soldier." Makarius nodded, "Keep it up." ”
"Yes!" Hera nodded.
Makarius said no more, and as he walked past Hera, he quickened his pace with some embarrassment.
……
After some time of preparation, the expedition began.
The expeditionary force was assembled on the Karsk IV, and then Chen Mo and the Order of the Holy Monks performed a ceremony for the Titans and Knights of the expeditionary force, and then Chen Mo and Makarius reviewed the expeditionary force together.
If the Holy Casting Army did not participate in the expedition, Chen Mo would not have to come at all.
But to come is to perform the ceremony, and he is not very eloquent, and he will not give an exciting speech like Macarius.
As Macarius spoke amid the roar of the mining planes, Chen Mo glanced at the expeditionary force.
Nearly a hundred Kadian assault regiments.
Five Katachan Corps.
Three Taran legions, and even the Desert Tigers are among them.
The rest are the Stormtroopers and the Dorian Imperial Guard and the like.
There are also quite a few Space Marines.
Space wolf.
White scars.
Warriors of Doom.
Founder.
And, of course, the Malicious Warriors.
Then there's the Titan Legion, a knight called Vengeance Incarnate, which is piloted by the Freedom Blade.
In addition to these original members of the Expeditionary Force, there are also the Saint Forge Army, the Holy Forge Warriors, the Support Regiment and the Mobile Fortress formed by the Mobile Support Platform, and the Millennium Glory Guard-level knight piloted by Sophia.
Chen Mo planned to wait for time to improve the transformation techniques of the Saint Casting Warriors, so that they could become powerful warriors like the Dead Subordinate Soldiers.
"Aboard!" After his speech, Makarius gave orders to the generals of the various army groups.
Immediately, all the troops boarded the transport ship and rushed towards the outside of the Karsk system.
Chen Mo was not in the expedition, and the Makarius expedition was to conquer thousands of worlds, and there were only a few key battles in this expedition.
It wouldn't be too late to provide support when the battle of the Pelpoposes Hive in the 390th year of M41 begins, and there are still four years between now and 390, when the satellite should also be transformed.
However, just in case, Chen Mo still sent a clone, and only Sophia, Carl and Xu Yi knew that the clone was hidden there.
……
A month has passed.
After the expeditionary force left, the Karsk system not only did not fall silent, but many ships came, all of whom came to make a pilgrimage to Karsk 7.
Some of the world-forging sages or bishops even arrived in person, along with the convoy.
Chen Mo had to design a set of procedures similar to a vacation plan for these people, such as going to the Temple of Ten Thousand Machines to participate in the ritual on the first day, going to see the holy machinery that Chen Mo had fought side by side with him when he was in his career, and going to the industrial area as a free laborer on the third day, no, to experience the life of the people on the Holy Land Planet.
The Riemannus Ruth tank will definitely not be seen, but you can see the centaur engineering vehicle that was driven by Chen Mo and printed the first batch of weapons.
Chen Mo occasionally made appearances to receive sages or bishops, and the rest of the time he was busy designing plans for the transformation of the Holy Warriors.
Until one incident forced Chen Mo to withdraw from research.
The harlequin is coming.
……
Late at night.
Temple of the Ten Thousand Machines of Gattans.
Chen Mo sat on the chair, UR025 and a spirit person sat around Chen Mo, and the three of them all watched the performance performed in the open space of the temple seriously.
The meaning of these elven riddles is as much a mystery as why they came here.
Chen Mo didn't know why the Harlequin Troupe came to him, but he knew that the Harlequin Troupe would not come for no reason, and they must have something big to say.
Therefore, Chen Mo seriously analyzed every link in the performance.
War? No, it seems to be farming.
Grab something? No, it seems to be taking something.
"Our Prophet saw this galaxy go to an end that it shouldn't have been, it was as eye-catching as a hole in the web of fate, and the Prophet couldn't see your fate, and then we sent someone to observe and found that you were not affected by the subspace, only you saw the true body of the evil believer on Karsk V."
"You can go deep into the dwellings of terror, you can walk on the dirty world where we will die if we get close, and you can retrieve something that will be of great use to all of our races. We should cooperate, and cooperation will begin with our gestures of goodwill. ”
These revelations are our gifts, and if you understand them, you will have the upper hand and gain any monkey ...... A position and power that no human being could have imagined. ”
When Chen Mo was seriously analyzing the performance, the Spirit Clan man sitting next to him kept chattering.
It's not just this spirit clan that's chattering, but also the gods of all machines.
The Myriad Machine God seemed to have a monstrous malice towards the Spirit Clan, and it kept repeating whispers in Chen Mo's ear to exterminate them.
Until the end of the show.
The harlequins stood together and saluted, and then quietly watched Chen Mo.
The Spirit Clan man also looked at Chen Mo.
At this point, Chen Mo's patient watching and performance are over, he really looks like killing these guys, but considering the difference in strength between the two sides and the fact that it is not easy for people to come all the way, he still suppressed his anger.
After taking a deep breath, Chen Mo pointed to the door: "The Riddler, get out of Gattans." ”
