……

Two months later.

In a galaxy still far away from the world of Cadia Fortress, the Eager Advance, laden with the Kadian Assault Army, is docked outside the world of the Hive Capital to receive supplies.

Ussakakrid was on board, and he and the rest of his colleagues gathered in the bar to kill the boring rush time.

As the officers enthusiastically discussed the recall order issued by Fort World, Creed and his lieutenant sat at a table in the corner, drinking spirits and listening.

"It's going to take at least a couple of years to get back home, and it's a long journey."

"Finally able to go back, I miss my parents ......"

"I heard that the Tyrone Star District has started tithing, if they can pay the tax sooner and let us use the dimensional engine, then we can go home a little faster."

"Don't talk about this...... Not to mention what engine. It's not just us running on the ground, it's the crew of the battleship. ”

Hearing this, Creed turned his head to look at the other corner of the bar, where a group of Ardent Advance Navy officers were sitting.

These officers gave the Army officers a blank look when they heard about the Dimension Engine, and then muttered something with a very bad face, and anyone could tell that they were very resistant to the Dimension Engine.

"They're right." Creed took a sip of his drink, then took a sip of his cigar and turned to look at his deputy, "If the Zeal Forward could be equipped with the Dimension Engine used by the Tyrone Navy, we wouldn't have to spend years going home." ”

The deputy's name is Kyle, a sergeant in the 8th Regiment of the Kadian Assault Army, and he is much older than Creed, who has been on the battlefield for many years when Creed was a naïve boy when he first joined the army.

But like everyone in the Eighth Regiment, Kyle was conquered by Creed's courage and talent, and was willing to saddle up for the young commander.

"Your experience in Tyrone has affected you." Kyle spoke in a voice like a horn, the kind with a damaged sound, "I've heard that Tyrone people like to have fun under the church. I've also heard from the Starwhisperers that the way the Tyrones produce the Dimension Engine is through sacrifices and rituals, and if I'm a Navy man, no one wants to install the Dimension Engine on my ship unless I'm dead......"

Creed frowned when he heard this, recalling his experience in the Tyrone system a few years ago, thinking that part of the gossip Kyle had heard was true, that the Tyrone people were actually having fun under the church.

As for the message of the dimension engine......

Creed poured Kyle a glass of wine and whispered, "Don't believe that. ”

"How?" Kyle looked up at Creed, curious.

"If the Dimension Engine can really be promoted, then the Star Whisperer will have no point in existing, even if we don't have the means of faster-than-light communication, just relying on a messenger ship equipped with the Dimension Engine to run back and forth is more stable than Star Language, if you are a Star Whisperer......" Creed said no more than halfway through his sentence.

Kyle thought about it for a moment, and felt that if he were a Star Whisperer, he would do everything he could to prevent the use of the Dimensional Engine.

But then again, wouldn't it be the end of the Dimensional Engine if it wasn't really a good thing, and who would dare to bet on such a thing?

"Sir." A soldier suddenly walked up to Creed, saluted him, and reported the matter: "Someone wants to see you. ”

Hearing this, Creed looked outside the bar.

Klein was standing outside the bar.

The retinue of the Tyrone System Trader ronin followed, and were distributing the power armor outside the bar to the officers who had ordered the power armor last time.

Creed beckoned to Crane and whispered to Kyle, "It seems that the dimensional engine is really useful, otherwise this guy wouldn't be able to find me every time." ”

Kyle glanced up at Klein, he had heard that Creed had also been found by the Ronin when the Eighth Regiment had been transferred to a new war zone, and that the Eighth Regiment was on the Path of Faith......

Klein strode into the bar, sat down at Creed's and Kyle's table, and exchanged a few more words with Creed.

"Is there something new that the Lord of Tyrone wants to tell me?" Creed knew that although Crane had retired from the army and become a ronin, he was still Qin Mo's subordinate, and he was likely to help Qin Mo deliver the news as he did the last time he arrived.

However, Klein shook his head and denied: "I'm not here to deliver letters, I'm just here to be a liaison, and I may have to follow you from now until the next few years." ”

"You're following us? Is it possible that you, a merchant ronin, are you still a part-time spy? Kyle said in a displeased tone.

Crane just glanced at Kyle and didn't reply, and instead turned to Creed and said, "Tyrone's director can't get the Kadian Assault Army, so you don't have to keep me with you, you can let me go back now." ”

"Nope." Creed poured a glass of wine for Klein, "Stay brother, although our two ships sail differently, you can go to Cadia first and wait for me." ”

Although Creed was happy to let Klein be his liaison, he still had a lot of doubts in his heart. Why can't Crane go directly to Cadia to find the Governor, and why does the Lord of Tyrone take himself so seriously.

Although there were many doubts, Creed knew that Qin Mo should have the ability to predict the future, and perhaps he would have a pivotal position in the future.

But Creed cared more about the fate of Kadia than the status Creed, and everyone was speculating about what might happen in the future before the recall order was communicated to the Eighth Regiment, and finally everyone came to the unanimous answer, that is, the plague and raids that had been raging at the Gates of Kadian for a long time were just a prelude, a prelude to a great war.

Think of the letter sent by Klein last time he arrived, saying that the Voscani Iron Cavalry would start a rebellion when they landed in Cadia.

Thinking about this, Creed suddenly asked Klein, "Did you talk to the Lord of Tyrone before you came out?" Did he ask you to convey something else? ”

"Yes, we talked, but there was no other information, I was in the Agrippina Foundry World when I received the order......" Crane shook his head.

This reply disappointed Creed, who was now most interested in information.

"I know you and the Governor have made a pact." Crane said, raising his glass, "All of Tyrone has your back, the Tyrone sector is expanding when you get back to Kadia, and we'll have a stronger army when you reach the end of your journey in a few years." ”

Creed also raised his glass, but there was a helpless and confused expression on his face: "I'm just a general of the Kadian Assault Army, that's all." There are many people at a higher level than me, and I am not qualified to represent Kadia at all. ”

"Indeed." Crane nodded approvingly, he couldn't understand why he had been sent to contact Creed, instead of going directly to Cadia to find the governor they called the lord of the castle......

Creed's ability to become a general in forty years is already an astonishing achievement, and there are many people within the Kadian Assault Army who are dissatisfied with Creed's speed of promotion.

"How do you find him every time?" Creed's deputy, Sergeant Kyle, asked suddenly.

"I'm a businessman, and I have a way."

"Tell me, if there's anything else to do right now, we'll have to be back in a few years before we get back to Cadia."

“……”

Crane and Kyle make small talk, and Creed remains silent, sometimes taking a sip of a wine and sometimes a cigar.

Creed looked at Crane's chatty face, and thought to himself that if he had a ship, he would have to use the Dimensional Engine, otherwise it would take years to even return to Cadia.
