Chapter 86 I Won't Go if the Staff Officer Goes There, I Will Listen to the Music if the Staff Officer Is in Trouble

Chapter 86 He won't go if the staff goes there, and he's unlucky if the staff goes there

Kane once killed a variant of Leviathan in an active volcano on a dead world, but the behemoth that had been crippled by the fleet still dragged half of the battle group into hell. But whether Kane or Qi Fan, they are reluctant to believe the news. Although there are many bugs in the Damocles Gulf, such a fleet of this size and quantity is the first time to be seen outside the Damocles Gulf.

"Most of the Zerg fleets are surrounded by the loyal Imperial Navy, making them unable to attack the human world, but where does it come from?"

Qi Fan asked the question because the Empire has already made basic discoveries, such as when the size of the Zerg swarm is ridiculously large, the subspace signals and electrical signals around them will disappear inexplicably, and the Empire completely relies on the huge fleet size and painful price to limit most of the bugs to a controllable range.

The senior official of the Tau clan answered. "Two hills ago, about twenty months in human time, an exploration ship was wrecked in Korevalde Marches (a fallen empire world, perhaps in the Tau territory in the Damocles Gulf), and that was the first message from the messenger drone."

At this moment, the screen in front of everyone showed the basic construction logic of the drone, which introduced what it was, and was carefully labeled in Gothic. It seemed that it was equipped with a simple low-intelligence AI system and thrusters, information storage equipment, and a human-sized thing.

Because the Tau did not have astropaths, they could rely on such legs to communicate, and it was also because of this that their communicators escaped the will of the Great Devourer because of the physical transmission legs.

In addition to such letter drones, the Tau also had a special message ship for information communication, but there was no doubt that such legs were sufficient for their current size. If their range of activities continued to expand, they would inevitably split. The sailing time and information transportation would allow them to exist in a world that had not been patrolled for decades, hundreds of years, or thousands of years.

But at present, it is barely enough. The Titanium still has confidence in the possibility of developing ultra-long-distance communication, and the deep-diving engine is their proud existence.

The massacre on the big screen is still going on. The horror pictures taken by the research ship at the first time look like a highly realistic science fiction short film. The shaking camera and the electromagnetic fluctuations that appear from time to time are very screaming.

The light of the stars shines on the terrible beast, and Kane quickly realizes. "Why doesn't the picture move?" As a staff officer, he instantly thought of why it didn't run. It is difficult for a normal person's brain circuit to rotate like this. But he really has the idea.

"According to the recovered data, the engine was already running at full speed at that time." Al'Hasai said seriously. "They guessed that the ship was fixed in some way. Judging from the pressure on the hull, it was either a tightened tentacles or a clenched claws."

Qi Fan nodded. "He's seen that happen a few times. They hit a ship, seize it, and then send in the killer bugs to wipe out the crew."

At this moment, the swarm of bugs was filling the entire holographic image, and the picture became more and more horrifying. Alanbair had to admit that he was slightly relieved when the image disappeared in a burst of static electricity.

The Tau official continued. "In fact, two months ago, they recovered the drone. Based on the range-finding calculation, the Zerg invasion force will come to Damocles Gulf from "Rim" (the eastern edge of Damocles Gulf), and then eat along the road to... where they are now, and then look for another target..."

He switched to the star map, which marked the Imperial world in red, the blue one for the Tau world, and the green one for the neutral one, that is, the one without an owner. Of course, there are many problems in it, such as some worlds that are obviously not the Empire have turned blue. Alanbair can almost hear the sound of Commander-in-Chief Qi Fan, who is gnashing his teeth.

"If the Tyranid fleet keeps moving at the same speed, they will enter the border area in a few weeks."

"It will extend along that line, repeatedly cutting the tortuous border between their two forces."

"That is equivalent to putting more than a dozen inhabited worlds in danger." Qi Fan's tone was like he was determined to announce all the bad news at once.

"If the Tyranid fleet successfully absorbs so much biomass, it will become unstoppable."

"Therefore, they proposed to put aside the current dispute between the two sides." El'Hasai nodded seriously. "Then please beg me."

Qi Fan also nodded, he was still trying to suppress his anger to kill the alien. "He thinks I'm wrong." He agreed.

Strangely, Qi Fan's eyes and attitude as the commander-in-chief of the empire are very similar to the way Alanbair handled it. They even thought that the indissoluble bond between the empire's hero Kane, the staff officer, and Zai Shandao could change the state of the empire facing the swarm.

The initial meeting was a discussion and judgment on how to deal with Quadravidia. Qi Fan decided to return to the flagship headquarters of the battleship group and discuss the matter with the staff on the ground and General Bradik.

"They can't just give up Quadravidia." General Bradik leaned on one of the chairs around the pile of data displays, hysterically emphasizing his opinion.

Faced with Qi Fan's luxurious private residence and the presence of the supreme commander of the Eastern Defense Zone Defense Force himself, the general remained unmoved and still chose to speak out.

After all, he had been fighting hard in that world for several years. The insect stragglers and the Tau rebellion were all solved by the Imperial Guard. It was certainly unacceptable to ask him to give up that world, and that feeling as Alan Bair was Officers born in the infantry regiment have even more personal experience.

At this time, a group of imperial officers and officers gathered in the combat command room of the imperial flagship. The messy, haphazardly welded pipes and emergency assembly cables made the whole room cluttered.

Before the transformation, the place was obviously a cargo hold or an arsenal. This was not the case for Commander-in-Chief Qi Fan's flagship choice. He would choose the largest battleship in the fleet and then occupy the largest space at will, but it was wrong for the navy. To say that it is easy to manage, it does not mean that every Imperial Navy can have such a good relationship with the captain of the Bordeaux and Alan Bair.

But is it realistic? Is the design and recruitment there practical and comfortable for the veterans of the Astra Militarum? Generally speaking, if Alan Bair reaches that position one day, he will do the same.

"No, no, of course they will not give up Cuadra Vidia." The commander-in-chief assured Braddick at this moment, and as usual he appreciated the soldier's straightforward way of speaking. "But I can lead the token garrison and continue to stay."

Braddick smiled sadly. "Then the situation has not changed."

"Don't forget that the Tau will also withdraw their troops." Kane reminded him, and now the holographic image in the command room was shaking in the way that the Imperials were accustomed to. It was blurry, although it was not clear in the first place.

The mechanic in charge of it blessed it in a low voice and used the robotic arm to hit the already dented instrument panel, allowing the star field displayed in the image to refocus.

Qi Fan nodded at him and expressed his gratitude. ‘To put it bluntly, the Tau are diverting resources to strengthen the defenses of the three systems belonging to them on the edge of the Gulf of Damocles. ” When he pointed out where those were, the mismatched icons glowed a rather ugly green glow.

Compared with the technology of the Tau, the empire's holographic images and tactical instructions are simply too... Alan Bair can't describe it, but he believes that the holographic images of humans in the Dark Ages must have been lifelike. After all, he is experiencing that kind of thing now. Aim assist when playing games.

"So they are preparing to pack up and leave now?" Mr. Braddick's tone was a bit subtle. After all, he had been fighting the titanium on the ground for so long, and suddenly told him that those blue-skinned people were leaving without any conspiracy?

After all, in the tone of the empire, the good way can be translated as great good, or getting better. If the opposite is getting better, are the people of the empire just asking for pain?

The commander-in-chief's explanation at first interrupted Alan Bair's thoughts. "The Tau are full of pragmatists," Qi Fan said.

"It's wrong for them. If they continue to waste precious war resources there, causing them to be unable to stop the Tyranid offensive and lose the other three star systems, then there is no point in continuing to hold on there."

"Envoy Al-Hasay assured them that their troops would complete their retreat early before they were ready to evacuate that system." Qifan said.

But the reality is not like this. The Titanium is taking away all their power in a storm. It can be said that the fleets stuck on the ground and in orbit are all planning to mobilize. After all, they know the information two months before the empire.

The Astra Militarum that came to that world from the east would need to be responsible for the small Tyranid forces that appeared due to the invasion, but otherwise they would not be detectors, or even node creatures. Such troops were very common in the Empire, suddenly appearing in an area. , there are not many in number, and it will take hundreds or even thousands of years after they are eliminated before the main Tyran force will come over.

Obviously, if the warning from the Titanium had not been denied, the Empire would probably have continued as usual.

General Braddick nodded. He was very worried about the bugs, but he, who had always been a defeated general before, had a complicated mind now that he was victorious.

Commander-in-Chief Qi Fan complained again. "Those titans made demands before they left. They want compensation."

Braddick frowned. "They dare!"

Qi Fan noticed that he had used the wrong vocabulary. "No, they are asking for compensation to that world as an apology for invading that world..."

"They begged their merchant corps and engineering troops to stay there to help rebuild the city, and they were even good at sending food to the empire's residents."

"It must include full-time preaching of subversion and heresy." Braddick snorted.

Qi Fan and Kane nodded in unison, while Alan Bair recalled that incident and still felt familiar. After all, a country starting with M had done that.

‘The Tau are asking for compensation, and Governor Gedong is willing to accept the offer. "Kane said in his most sophisticated tone.

"Because Governor Ge Dongfu is a narcissist and a born bastard. He sees the benefits but not the harm." Qi Fan added in a tone that was not at all tactful.

That time, all the officers in the command room, including those who had seen the planetary governor, couldn't help but nod.

Qi Fan coughed, interrupting the strange atmosphere there. "Let's get down to business." He opened the star map.

"There is a road in front of them." Qi Fan said. A world on the Imperial side of the border glowed crimson, indicating that it belonged to the Adeptus Mechanicus.

"The Fekundia Forge World, where most of the ammunition and vehicles in their area of ​​Damocles Bay were made."

"But the bugs may not choose that world, because behind it is a titanium home world. If he is a bug, compared to a feast full of biomass, a nearly hollowed-out forge world, it is obviously not necessary to choose too much."

Kane instantly became interested. "In other words, those titanium will become the empire's death-proof gold medal?"

Qi Fan smiled. "Even better, but they still need to select a regiment of troops to go to the Titanium world for the so-called cultural exchange."

"That's a very difficult task, because they need someone to monitor the Titanium's every move, and the Titanium also needs the Imperial soldiers to hold them in their arms to ensure the so-called, peaceful alliance, and the Titanium's report to the Empire is too slow, so they need warships carrying astropaths to help them with information."

"The problem is that they need someone to go to the Fekundia Forge World to protect the Empire's area, and they need someone to go to the Titanium world as a chess piece of the Empire."

"The two tasks are almost equally demanding."

Kane said without hesitation. "He will go to the Forge World, although it is very close to the Zerg."

Commander-in-Chief Qi Fan was satisfied with Kane's courage and strong motivation. Of course, he hoped that Kane would go to the Titanium world as a reporter, because the communication on the Titanium side was too slow, and the Imperial Fleet's astropaths were also needed.

"Then, who will go to the Titanium world?"

Alanbair was no longer silent at this moment, because wherever Staff Officer Kane went, the Zerg would definitely go there. They were chosen by God and had the enemy absorption physique.

"Sir, I would like to express your gratitude for the help of the Bordello, and he served in your army during that time, and he traveled with the Titanium for a period of time. He thought that he could represent the Empire to enter that world."

All the officers there expressed their respect and recognition for the "unknown" (referring to the Terra Star emblem) lieutenant colonel, and Commander-in-Chief Qi Fan nodded.

"Soldiers of the Emperor, you really meet my duties, so he now orders the Imperial Moon-class strike cruiser Bordello and the Imperial Skadi World Fourth Infantry Regiment to go to the Titanium world for a diplomatic mission!"

"Caifas Kane, the Imperial Senior Staff and his Valhalla 597th Regiment, go to the Forge World Fekundia!"

"Kai~Kai~Caifas Kane! The Great Hero of the Empire!"
