Chapter 153: Creed and the Prophecy

……

Klein didn't go to Cadia.

As a Rogue Trader who is very good at interpersonal relationships, Crane has formed friendships with many Governors along the way, and as a result, he also learns that Creed is not in Cadia at all.

In order to find out where Creed is now, Crane finds some high-ranking people and gives him a lot of benefits, and then learns that Creed is on a transport ship called the Path of Faith, so he goes to the supply system that the Path of Faith must pass through to wait.

Anyway, after a lot of tossing, Klein finally waited for the path of faith.

As the merchant ship approaches the Path of Faith, which is being resupplied, Crane boards the ship on the pretext of selling power armor, and asks his deputy to sell power armor to search for Creed inside the ship.

Eventually, in the ship's bar, Klein's eyes fell on the counter.

The person sitting there was wearing the standard model power armor used by the Tyrone Army Army, and this alone did not allow Crane to judge that he was Creed, after all, there were many Ronin Merchants who were inverting power armor...... But the man's neck was short and thick.

"Creed?" Crane walked over and called.

The man sitting at the counter immediately turned his head to look at Klein, looking very surprised and surprised: "Commander of the 47th Regiment Klein? ”

Crane made a deep impression on Creed, and he still remembers when Crane went with him to inspect the soldiers of the 47th Regiment.

Even Creed remembers taking down one of Klein's men.

"How did you find me?" Creed asked his men to find another seat and motioned for Crane to sit down beside him.

"It was the Emperor who guided me to you." Klein glanced at Creed's trademark short, thick neck, then sat down beside him and handed over the handwritten letter written by Qin Mo to Creed.

Creed immediately accepted the letter, ordered another glass of wine for Crane, and waited for the wine to arrive before asking, "How is the Tyrone system doing now?" ”

Due to the early departure, Creed only knew that the world of the nest capital had been taken, and the situation of the other two planets in the Tyrone system was completely unknown.

"After you're gone, we'll continue the war until the entire galaxy of heretical rebels has been cleared." After Crane finished speaking, he took a sip of wine and sighed with emotion: "But we were targeted by the Inquisitor, but fortunately we were not condemned as heretics in the end, and the Governor became the veritable Lord of Tyrone. ”

"A toast to him." Creed raised his glass and drank it down.

Klein wanted Creed to open the letter written by Qin Mo and take a look, but he was interrupted by Creed before he could speak.

Creed began to talk about what happened to him after he left the Tyrone system.

In short, fighting, fighting all over the empire.

The power armor obtained when he left the Tyrone system was indeed very useful, but due to various battlefield reasons, only five of the Cadians who were lost to the Tyrone system and left survived in the end.

Creed is one of the five people who are still alive.

"I'm sorry, man." Crane tapped Creed on the shoulder, then said a few words of comfort.

Eventually, at the end of the conversation, Crane got down to business: "You have to look at the letter from the Governor." ”

"What is so important?" Creed thought that the contents of the letter were not important, just reminiscing, and immediately took out the letter and examined it carefully after seeing Crane's serious expression.

Inside the envelope was a chip-like gadget, and when Creed pulled it out, the chip first scanned his iris and then projected handwriting on his eyes.

"A typical product of Tyrone technology." Creed smiled and looked at the words in his field of vision, the smile on his face fading away, and finally he was confused and shocked.

The letter says two things, the first of which is the plague of unfaith.

This Creed knew well, because the plague of the Gates of Kadian had been raging for a long time when the plague of unbelief spread on Tyrone's side, and Creed had heard about the plague from his elders even when he was very young.

The second thing is that the Worscani Iron Cavalry will rebel.

This is vague, except that the Voscani Iron Cavalry would rebel when the Kadian Assault Force was recalled to Cadia a few years later, and that the Governor and some of the high-ranking generals would be killed upon arrival in Cardia. This event would then become the symbol of the enemy's official expedition.

Creed, who had fought alongside the Voscani Iron Cavalry in previous wars, sensed that something was wrong with the men, but only that he didn't think they would make such a crazy move as rebellion.

"Maybe the Lord of Tyrone is right about the future." Worried, Creed took out a cigar and lit it, then burned the chip with a lighter.

Crane looked at Creed suspiciously, but didn't stop him.

Creed frowned and drank while smoking a cigar, and after a long silence, he suddenly asked, "What if I know about this?" Can I put Cadia on guard for this prophecy with a single word, or can I say that the governor of Cadia can be moved? ”

Hearing this, Crane looked confused, he hadn't read the contents of the letter, and he didn't know what Creed was talking about.

Creed continued, "It took me forty years to become a general, but the only people I could mobilize were my men, and I had no control over the others. ”

In Creed's opinion, the letter sent by Qin Mo was not of much use.

Saying that an army would rebel is an extremely serious accusation, and there will be people who will investigate the accused army, but if the results cannot be found, the person who is accused of rebellion will be severely punished.

And this incident will cause a series of contradictions within the Astral Army, and it will definitely cause war against each other.

Creed couldn't have imagined that he would find his superiors and tell the consequences of the prophecy, and he didn't think he had what it took to stop the Vorscani Iron Cavalry from rebelling—if they did.

"The Lord of Tyrone thinks too highly of me, I'm not an important person, just a warlord." Creed said helplessly.

Crane still didn't know what Creed was talking about, he thought for a moment and then relayed to Creed a message he had heard before leaving: "The Governor said that he would fully support you, just remember the previous agreement." ”

"Support me in fighting wars around the Empire? I don't understand why he thinks so much about me......" Creed began to ponder again as he took his cigar in his mouth.

It wasn't until after he spit out a puff of cigarette for the fiftieth time that Creed suddenly thought that Qin Mo should not have written this letter to himself to stop the rebellion of the Voscani Iron Cavalry, but to let himself prepare early.

"I see." Creed nodded thoughtfully, and then looked at Crane, "Please convey my words to the Lord of Tyrone: I don't know what my role will be in the future, but I will prepare for any calamity that may come." ”

"May the Emperor bless you." Klein finished his mission and got up and left.

After being watched away by Creed, Crane and his men who had sold their equipment converged to leave, but were surrounded by a group of officers.

The officers asked how soon Klein would be back and if they could pre-order the next batch of Power Armor.

It took a lot of effort for Klein to convince the officers to leave, and when he turned to get on the transport plane, he heard footsteps getting closer.

"I'm sorry, our Power Armor is sold out." Klein walked to the cabin without looking back.

"I'm not here to buy power armor." A pleasant-sounding woman's voice rang out behind Klein.

Klein's body shuddered, and he turned to look at the person who spoke, and found that it was Vanessa, who had suddenly disappeared from the fortress, and she was wearing the officer's uniform, the officer uniform of the 8th Regiment of the Kadian Assault Army.

Vanessa took off her military hat and saluted Crane, "Can you take me to Lord Tyrone?" ”
