Chapter 558: The Highest Request for Help Deep into the Tiger's Den
"What's the situation? Did you get the information you wanted?" Ian stepped forward and asked quickly.
Although it is their responsibility to kill the aliens, they need to weigh the pros and cons when facing such a large number.
Without giving them a chance to communicate, the second Rebos saw the signs, he immediately ordered the entire army to attack.
The Space Marines of the Fire Covenant did not hesitate to pack up their equipment and prepare to fight an enemy force that was hundreds of times their size.
Fortunately, there was no danger. While catching the enemy off guard, the results achieved were also quite remarkable.
The Zakli Think Tank and several company commanders were also concerned about Rebos's reasons, but now the other party seemed to have nothing to say.
"Beheading the Lord of Comoros is indeed an action worth bloodshed, but does it require more detailed planning?" Pastor Caesar asked himself.
"How is the Zakri Think Tank?"
It was impossible for Rebos to tell everyone what he really thought, so he did not answer the other party's question.
"The body's physical indicators are very stable. All organs will mature within about one Terra week," said Pharmacist Morton.
"I'll go see him."
After Rebos finished speaking, he quickly left the witness with a puzzled look on his face.
Zakli Think Tank did not participate in this operation, not because he was afraid or had other tasks.
Instead, before starting, he tried to predict the consequences of the action, but instead of getting any information, he suffered a backlash of psychic energy.
The terrifying energy directly melted part of his internal organs. It can be said that he was hanging on to his last breath at that moment.
Fortunately, Rebos arrived in time and activated the exorcism force field to suppress the backlash, and Caroline arrived with the soulless Sister Grave, otherwise it would have almost caused a disaster.
There was no other choice, so Rebos immediately performed the Primarisization operation on him, and also brought the Soulless Sister Grave to act as a psychic blocker.
I didn't expect the unresponsive opponent to take any action, but I didn't expect that he seemed to sense the chaotic energy flowing through the think tank.
Sister Grave was quiet for the first time, as if she was remembering a responsibility she had not shouldered for a long time.
She slowly stretched out her hand and moved it quickly over the dissolved abdominal cavity, and those strange spots of light seemed to be covered with a layer of gray.
The flowing chaotic energy disappeared quietly, and the painful Zakli Think Tank finally fainted at the same time.
Rebos looked at the other person, then at Caroline, and finally focused his attention on the think tank.
He felt that he was heading in the right direction, and the man's past seemed to be gradually revealing itself to him.
Now, as he entered the infirmary, the wounded Marines saluted him, and he nodded in return.
In front of the bed, Grave, with short hair, eyes covered with holy words, and wearing a coarse cloth robe, was sitting cross-legged.
Her eyeless eyes were still looking at the bed of the Zakri Think Tank, as if she was alert to possible mutations.
"I'm back. Is the problem serious?"
Rebos shook his head and pointed at Grave.
"What happened?"
"I received a message from the monitoring room. When I arrived there, I found that the Grave sisters seemed very anxious." Caroline came to Rebos and said.
"After releasing it, she immediately rushed to the location of the Zakli Think Tank. I guess she felt the chaotic power that erupted."
"Caroline, do you really have no memory of the other person?"
Facing Rebos's question, Caroline thought hard and shook her head:
"No, my memory of her only stops at the last moment when she left Terra. Before that, I have no idea how we met."
Rebos was not discouraged. Although he still couldn't communicate, at least the current reaction meant that the other party had at least a chance of recovery.
"Lin Heng...I can feel that you seem to be pursuing some past experience. I'm sorry, I have forgotten all the memories between you and me.
I think this must be a test from the Emperor of God, to make me realize that we are reunited again because of your importance.
Although we cannot forget the past, we should pay more attention to the present situation. So Ian asked me to ask you what happened? "
"It's impossible to forget the past... That's what drives me forward... I am Lin Heng... But... I am not..."
Rebos was extremely conflicted, and he quickly adjusted the baseline stabilization program of his processor.
Definition... copy, data, life, foundation, machinery, transformation, death, hope, rebirth, Lin Heng, search, order, empire, human, cleanup, alien, heresy, mutation, killing, planet, balance, fusion.
As these programs that balance physical deviations operate, he gradually gives control of his body to the logic engine rather than to his emotions.
"what are you saying?"
"Phew..nothing. Tell Ian I'll give him an answer."
"Should we leave now?"
"we..."
Just as Rebos was thinking about what to do next, Caroline and he received a communication request at the same time.
After reading the communication information, the two looked at each other and immediately left the medical room and went to the bow room where people gathered.
This time, not only the Space Marines came, but also the captains of the ships and the captains of the carrier-based aircraft were in place.
Even Benson, the armed boatswain, stood in the team. It seemed that this news might have a ripple effect.
"Is the news reliable?"
The ship's communications master nodded in the affirmative with a trembling voice.
"No doubt about it. This is the highest order from the Empire for assistance. It is a signal for any organization to immediately abandon their current goals and go to help."
Ian stood in the front and walked quickly to Rebos. Then he knelt on one knee, tightly grasped the cross on his chest and said:
"We must go! They are warriors who have truly met the Divine Emperor, the Emperor's personal guards!"
Pharmacist Morton and others were equally excited and said: "It doesn't matter whether the army is banned or not, the key is that their mission is to transport gene seeds.
Their number is definitely over ten thousand. Even if a lot of them have been sent to other regiments, there will still be plenty left.
We only got two hundred in Ryza, and they are asking for help so much, I estimate that there are at least a warband of them... a thousand."
If the Astartes are illusory beings that are difficult for ordinary people to see, then the Adeptus Custodes are beings that are difficult for even the Astartes, a group of superhumans, to see.
Their power is unparalleled, as command can only be given by the Emperor himself or a recognized Imperial Regent.
No planetary governor, naval commander, or inquisitor can command them.
The most crucial thing is that each of them can be regarded as the strongest fighter under the Primarch. The gap between them and the Astartes is as obvious as the gap between the Astartes and mortals.
"The news came just in time..."
Rebos asked himself and answered, how could this news not be timely? Given the character of the Dark Eldar, such resources would never be shared with others.
The reason why they were able to break through the blockade and reach them must have been the decision made by the old man Victor.
This guy is really difficult to deal with, much more difficult than that inhuman You Run. The main reason is that he can't judge the other party's true thoughts.
The so-called leaked request for help must have been sent to them by the other party. It seems that the guy didn't want them to leave.
It just so happens that he needs a reason to stay. Even if it is a trap, let him go into the tiger's den and find out what's inside.
"Then go ahead."
Three days later the fleet arrived at the designated location, the two large ships being no match for the Dark Eldar's raiders.
So when they discovered their presence, they immediately abandoned their teammates on the boat and ran away.
Everyone easily boarded the light cruiser whose engine had been blown up by driving the assault ship.
Under the double attack of the boarding troops and the ship's sailors, the Dark Eldar were quickly wiped out.
The captain, Rear Admiral of the Imperial Navy, was very excited when he received the news. He also greeted the unfamiliar Inquisitor with a smile.
“Thank you, Your Excellency the Inquisitor, and the Astartes for your assistance.
I hope you can continue to the beacon point. The empire's valuable assets are being invaded by aliens!
Everything on the ship belongs to you, all I want is a chance to kill my enemies."
Rebos would naturally not miss the opportunity to replenish supplies, because the next battle would probably be brutal to a new stage.
There were still many survivors on the ship. Two or three thousand people and all the supplies fell into their hands.
It’s a pity that there is no way to tow this cruiser back for repairs, otherwise it would add some combat power to their fleet.
"There were 18 ships in total, 3 battleships, 5 light cruisers, and 10 frigates. But before I left the main force, 6 ships were already disabled.
This group of damned aliens used the celestial storm as cover to catch us off guard. Their goal was not to destroy us, but to capture us."
“I don’t know the layout of the main battleship, but every docking is completely private.
There were about 17 regiments we encountered, and we all exchanged goods with them. It was so tragic, so tragic. Some of them even had only half a company left. "
“May the brothers fighting in various places receive the Emperor’s protection. May the glory of the chapter be passed on to every corner of the galaxy.” Priest Caesar blessed silently.
"How many guards are there? I don't know. These guys basically never show up. It's always the Sisters of Silence who convey the message.
To be honest, although these signers have mastered the degree to which they can release their unique abilities, they still have an instinctive resistance. "
"The Sisters of Silence? Maybe their presence will make the Grave sisters feel familiar." Caroline said excitedly.
“Oh, by the way, Inquisitor, Astartes, and Your Holiness, you must be careful.
During this period, the main ship warned us several times that the enemy was not only the Eldar aliens, but there was also a force lurking in the dark, and I'm afraid... it was those rebel legions.
Yes, that's right, even if there is a chance to escape from here by jumping or compressing the space channel, we dare not try it."
During the pursuit, the major general told everything he knew, and the situation was much more serious than everyone had imagined.
"Let's discuss countermeasures. Those alien ships are at least twice as large as ours. Even if we take risky measures, we can only sink 5 ships at most."
The captain of the Black Ship and the Sacred Reason discussed this.
If they can integrate into the rest of the fleet and their battleships are still able to move, then they will at least have a chance.
The addition of an ordinary battleship and a reinforced battleship, with proper coordination, can at least lead them out of the encirclement.
Everyone generally thinks so, but Rebos, who knows the inside story, does not intend to do so.
He glanced at everyone, passing by the somewhat gloomy Benson, and said shockingly:
“None of you need to go, not even the Fire Covenant.
Both the Sacred Reason and the Black Ship will use harassment tactics to deter and lure the enemy away from a distance.
The black-hearted conspiracy group will definitely not let go of these resources, and we will not be facing ships that are several times larger than ours by then."
Rebos groaned for a moment and continued, "I know that everyone's hatred for the aliens cannot be erased, but I don't want you to risk your life for such a thing.
The Empire loves to do this kind of bullshit. There is no sacrifice too big to accept.. Sacrifice is the cornerstone of the Empire...
This is actually an inefficient withdrawal, and it is proof that due to information lag, only human lives can be used to fill the gap. "
The rear admiral was somewhat surprised. He did not expect that such words could be uttered from the mouth of an inquisitor.
But seeing that even Pope Ian did not refute, it was even more difficult for him, an outsider who was rescued by others, to say anything.
"You don't need to worry about how we get it. We'll just take it and leave."
After Rebos finalized the matter, no one had the opportunity to express their opinions because they all knew that this was the best decision.
But someone caught up with them, and Rebos turned around and found that it was Sister Stika's husband Benson.
"Brother, I don't mean anything else, I just want to say thank you.
Staying in the rear is what's most needed right now. You've completely cut off my wife's desire to go to the battlefield."
Rebos turned his head and watched the other person approach.
"She doesn't care about her situation at all. She's still leading a team of novice nuns even though she's pregnant again."
"Pregnant again?" Rebos turned around and asked.
"Hahahahahahahaha, yes, yes, it's been nearly five months since we landed on the last planet.
Although the last incident has passed, I still think about it, so today I want to ask you to help check it out. I don’t want any more genetic mutations this time.”
The smile on Benson's face quickly faded, and when he thought of the painful memories of the past, his face became a little sad.
"Well...okay." Rebos said after a moment's hesitation.
"Hahaha, once the child is born, he will definitely call you godfather. What do you think? To be honest, it's better to ask him to call you more often than to ask him to praise the emperor every day."
The corner of Rebos' mouth twitched, and he asked with some doubt:
"Aren't you afraid that Stika will ask you to recite the sutra a hundred times when you say this?"
"Huh? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha."
"So funny?"
"Of course, brother. It turns out you can be humorous too. Haha. I won't waste your time. Remember to come and see me."
Benson smiled and pointed at Rebos a few times, then shook his head and laughed heartily.
Rebos watched the other person leave, and something in his heart seemed to flicker with the laughter.
