Chapter 84: The Star of the Empire, Caiphas Kane
Kaifas Kane marveled at the adventure he encountered tomorrow. The situation on the battlefield was not good. His regiment was destroyed. The city area and the entire imperial enclave were in a precarious situation. Even he had done everything possible. How to explain what happened to the Emperor when he went to the Golden Throne.
But the sudden landing of the strange unit broke the certain death situation. As Kane recalled that day, a hurried and happy voice emerged from the transport plane. "Can you give him an autograph?"
"Sorry, forgive his abruptness, he belongs to the 4th Skadi Infantry Regiment, senior staff officer, your fan."
Kane looked at the young staff officer with outstanding military exploits in front of him and took out the Book of Kane hidden in his chest. Officials will arrive…
But Kane wouldn't act so cowardly, probably. "Of course, of course." He signed the book in a hurry. The staff officer seemed to see a treasure like a sacred relic of Terra and buried the book back in his chest.
Kane also found that the members of the regiment were all dusty and dirty, as if they had not taken a shower after fighting for half a year. However, their weapons were very sophisticated. By the standards of an infantry regiment, Skadi was very good. What a good forge world? What's going on with the titanium?
But what surprised him was not the regiment, but the Tau commander who was chasing him just now.
"Am I the hero's advisor Caiaphas Kane?" she asked in broken Gothic. The strange lisp of the Tau's accent was amplified by the external loudspeaker mounted on the suit in front of him.
"He won't." Kane tried hard not to let his voice reveal the hope in his heart.
If they wanted to make a mistake, Kane wouldn't be quick to pull the trigger, but he really couldn't see what he had to talk about with them. "Who am I?"
"Uy-Tiqin of Shas' Uyka'suy."
The literal meaning of this sentence translated into Gothic is "Battlesuit Unit Lucky Wind". There is no doubt that it is a semi-formal honorary title obtained by a certain Tau unit to commemorate the famous victory achieved on the battlefield. victory.
"In the name of good deeds, they asked me to convey a message of re-request to your companions."
Kane touched Dongba and felt that the situation was getting better and better. They obviously won't shoot themselves. Mingkain hopes that Braddick (the Imperial Guard General of that world) will not do the same. After all, hooking up with aliens can be a felony, but no matter how high the rank of the Imperial Guard is, staff officers cannot be executed. No.
Alan Bair realized that things were getting better. If the union between the Tau and the Empire lacked a bond, Kane, who was also the hero of the Tau Empire, was obviously not the best...
"They need a truce." Those words were spoken simultaneously by the commander of the 4th Skadi Infantry Regiment and the strong wind of Tau. The incongruous feeling made Kane feel like he had been punched in the ear.
"What? Truce? Why?"
The power suit was absolutely correct, and it glanced at Alan Bair with a clear squint. It was all glowing, as if a scanner or something had recorded the face of the Imperial Guard officer. Obviously, the Tau Empire's equipment also Recording in progress.
That damn alien race has a strong desire to master it, and the strength of the Skadi Fourth Regiment is not weak either. Dozens of weapons of various colors are ready to be fired instantly.
Alan Bayer waved his leg. "Disarm, everyone. The person in front of them is Staff Officer Kane. We have all heard of his name. We do not want to embarrass him, gentlemen."
The Imperial Guards put away their weapons. This situation also made Ms. Qiangfeng even more surprised by the Imperial officer in front of her. After all, among the humans she encountered, he could be said to be the most enlightened.
She emphasized again in the amplified voice of her battle suit now. "A truce must take place, otherwise our empire and his empire will be destroyed."
That sentence is actually quite threatening. After all, the Tau troops have completely suppressed two-thirds of the troops in the city. Since Staff Kane is hiding in Tibet, he can agree and organize a conversation between senior officials. .
The artillery fire of the Tau has stopped in the east, and their greedy bombing has almost destroyed most of the Imperial Guard's effective forces. Alan Bair was making a boring assessment of the strength of the Tau there. The command skills there were very good. For example, the roadside was already falling apart. Lemanus or Manticore, a classic Tau tactic, get the target information and target and then bomb the unit again.
Alan Bair could not deny that such tactics should be against the way humans play, but that young race obviously knew very little about the horrors of that universe, such as the Great Devourer's communications being completely blocked.
After the Tau left with the hostages from Alain Bairra, Staff Kane kindly invited them to return to the Astra Militarum camp in the east of Starport with him. On the way, Alain Bair told him his story. Of course , omitting the rather...strange appearance of witnessing the Star Torch in subspace.
In fact, except for the group of imperial sailors on the bridge, most people don't know how they left the subspace. It can be said that it is quite highly confidential.
The Salamander tank started slowly, followed by the soldiers of Skadi's Fourth Regiment. When they arrived at the command point, they saw General Braddick, and his attitude was very resolute.
This completely contradicted the understanding of everyone huddled in the command bunker east of the only remaining Imperial Guard garrison. Everyone knew that the fall of this place was inevitable, and that the Tau could not give up on that world at all.
There was a fanatical light shining in the depths of the general's dark gray eyes, which made his unhealthy pale red skin even more eye-catching. Coffee and stimulants have been used to replace sleep for a long time, and Staff Kane's goal was not Otherwise, the ground troops would be outnumbered, and to be honest, no one thought they would win.
The general tidied up his gorgeous aristocratic clothes and took a few more sips of coffee. Alan Bair walked forward and saluted the superior officer. "The commander of the 4th Skadi Infantry Regiment came here due to a subspace storm."
The general looked at the young man in front of him. "It looks good. I'll go guard the front line."
Alan Beyer said. "He did not reject the troops accepted by the Ministry of Military Affairs. In fact, during that time, he had been assigned to Kane's staff and worked with the Imperial Guard in Valhalla to resist the enemy."
The general drank a few more sips indifferently. "Okay, follow him. He's a good adviser. Although the aliens stopped firing for some reason, he did let them get away with it."
Obviously, the people in front of them were completely red-eyed and didn't know what the truce meant. The reply from the Tau clan also had to wait for the information from the Tau warship. Staff Kane said to Alan Bair. "Soldier of Skadi, he wants to invite me to go to the battleship with him. He needs to report the matter to Commander-in-Chief Qi Fan."
"Obviously I understand why I was wrong about the Titanium. Even my regiment has been making great achievements. With me joining, that matter will become easier."
Alan Bayer knew what Staff Kane was thinking. He must be wondering whether he could immediately escape from that world on a shuttle, or whether Qi Fan would suddenly arrange a more stable mission for him.
He wanted Alan Beyer to take his place and pay for that matter...
Well... I won't let him succeed!
"Staff Officer Kane, he is only a lieutenant colonel and is not qualified to participate. His relationship with the Titanium is only to coerce them to help him come to that world."
"In fact, he needs a navigator with the emperor's blessing, a qualified psychic from the empire to help the Bordero leave the void. It will be a good help, and he cannot delay it for too long."
"If it is just a report, he can write it, but if it is not, sir, the Tau will recognize you."
The staff officers in the regiment also looked at Staff Officer Kane with admiration. "Yes, may you be the hero of the empire!"
Staff Officer Kane puffed up his tall body and gritted his teeth. Although Jue Fang was not in so much pain on the outside, and instead looked majestic, Alan Bayer knew that he was wailing in pain on the outside. He probably didn't want to be with that group of people at all. Blue skin has any intersection.
Staff Officer Kane replied. "Okay, I'll let him report to Qi Fan, and he will decide on assigning a navigator to me based on the situation."
Staff Officer Kane looked brave, powerful, and even taller. His adjutant Jurgen took out a hot water bottle from his tactical belt and poured a brand new Tanner tea into him. He had been fighting in the empire for almost seventy years. It's hard to imagine that they are still so energetic, looking at Alan Bayer with adoring eyes.
"Very good, let them go to the star port!" Staff Officer Kane said.
Initially, the shuttle took Alan Bayer and Kane across the void, but it must be mentioned that because of Alan Bayer's joining, Jurgen was left in the ground orbit. Together with his staff, Alan Bayer I had to recall the envious look from my own staff, as if it was a good thing to be squeezed into a transport plane with Kane, a two-meter-tall guy.
The journey was not too close, so during the transportation, Staff Officer Kane asked Alan Beyer. "She's fast, isn't she?"
Alan Beyer knows this. "Yes, it can play a big role in escaping. It takes only half an hour to climb from low-Earth orbit to the imperial warship. If they are completely lost, he said, then her speed will definitely be needed now."
Kane seemed to have met a close friend unexpectedly, nodding his head repeatedly, and the two chatted for a while, but the main problem was in any way to escape...
When it came to escaping, Alan Bayer was indeed an expert. He began to share his experiences with his staff, such as what should be paid attention to when maneuvering, how to choose the best path, and sometimes attack can be used to retreat. Is this the first time for Kane? Seeing an officer in the Imperial Guard who was so proficient in escaping, the two chatted happily.
Of course, it was not because Alan Beyer knew Kane's character. After all, most people didn't pay attention to the two-meter-tall macho man in front of them who had outstanding military exploits and wanted to find a comfortable place to fish.
When the transport plane docked at the Imperial battleship, the warehouse door opened, and the huge Imperial Navy flagship and the flagship hangar of Commander-in-Chief Qifan also arrived. Staff Kane naturally invited Alan Bair to the East Ship, as if it was his home there. .
When Kane looked at the giant battleship, he suddenly felt a sense of security in his heart. After all, it was the flagship of the empire's most elite fleet, and it had the greatest chance of surviving.
But neither Alan Bair nor Kane expected that Commander-in-Chief Qi Fan actually came there to greet the two of them. He and Kane were like members of the same team, seeing each other as if they were old friends. When the matter of titanium was soon mentioned, Alan Bayer thought that they had come to ask for a drink and had a good time.
The Commander-in-Chief's Guard, composed of stormtroopers who came from the east and were all equipped with hell guns, were like bulldozers in front of them, flattening the battleships in the chaotic flow of people. The sound of military boots was rhythmic like music. The Commander-in-Chief was walking side by side with them, any Everyone who sees them needs to salute.
But it must be said that the Navy does not allow the Imperial Guard to move around freely on their warships or hold firearms, but the commander-in-chief, given his rich experience of being assassinated and his power, can see the fully armed elite of the Imperial Guard everywhere.
How about it, just one word, decent!
The commander-in-chief, who is so decent, was listening to the report of Staff Officer Kane on the road, and from time to time he glanced at the famous and unknown Alanbair, because he did not remember that the soldiers with that regiment emblem joined the battle?
But he still said. "Why didn't the Titanium express the reason for the truce?"
The staff officer replied. "No, and the paperwork is progressing slowly. He has asked Bradik to be responsible for the details. Although the Titanium stopped the bombardment, the situation on the ground is as bad as usual."
Qi Fan asked. "Why didn't my adjutant come?"
The staff officer replied. "He gave his position to that, Lieutenant Colonel Alanbair, the commander of the 4th Infantry Regiment of Skadi, the nemesis of the orcs, who defeated the red pirates in the whirlpool, the black-hearted king Huron"
Alanbair said. "Exaggerated, they are fighting for the Emperor, Lord Commander-in-Chief, in view of the intelligence of the Titanium, he once boarded their warships, because of a special adventure, but he also got uncertain intelligence from the senior officials of the Water Clan."
"It is true that the Zerg fleet is approaching."
Commander-in-Chief Qi Fan and Staff Officer Kane's faces turned bad. "Why, although there are many Zergs hovering in orbit, they are not scum. The Imperial detectors have not found a large-scale force at all."
"In fact, the Imperial world to their feet is the real threat of the Titanium..."
Kane answered undeniably. "Of course, it is true, it is unbelievable, but in the past few years, the Tyranid Zerg Hive Fleet has been advancing into the heart of the Empire, and they have to use too many military resources to contain them."
"And they still know very little about the Zerg race. Maybe they have a leg to avoid the subspace, making their detection unstable."
"On the contrary, the Titanium have almost no understanding of the subspace, so they may be more sensitive to the Zerg."
Qi Fan answered. "Interesting guess."
At this moment, the commander-in-chief's enemy communicator rang, and he turned on the communicator, and a report came from it.
"The place where the Titans will meet with them has been determined, at the dock that was recently abandoned due to fighting."
Qi Fan replied. "Very good, reply to them, they have him and Kane's staff, and it is very likely that Lieutenant Colonel Alanbair of the 4th Regiment of Skadi will go there."
When the commander-in-chief finished the call, Alanbair and Kane looked very honored, but they were cursing in their hearts.
