Chapter 226 Set Sail Again and Return to Homeland
Although Ailanbaier emphasized that their behavior was not something that fools did, it made Miss Inquisitor easily integrate into the group. As a persecuted person, she could now, at least for a short time, show off to those people.
And Miss Lovelova also inherited the atmosphere of the Valhallan people, or the life of the Imperial Guard reminded her of her childhood. As a famous ice and snow fortress world of the human empire, Valhalla is almost a large army stationed.
Interestingly, although Kane is a member of the Valhallan group, he is not a Valhallan. This is a customary rule outside the empire, so the person who chatted best with the lady there is the Skadi people who come from the same cold place.
In order to ensure body temperature, the drinks that the Skadi people like also have the "beauty" of the high alcohol content of the Valhallan people.
But no one drank too much, because most people realized that they needed to set off, and the rhythm of the war would not stop because of their comfort, but would intensify.
Supplies on board, personnel deployment, complicated work and nagging things, yesterday's joy and tomorrow's preparation for war, the strong sense of separation makes people depressed, as if the world and their own cognition are divided into two.
More or less, but no one will say it, because that world does not need those ideas, and they cannot and cannot express that kind of feelings to their companions, but depression does not exist.
Ailanbaier took the Skadi people on the transport ship and left that terrible world. After arranging to send off the exclusive destroyer of the Pope of the State Religion, the complex and huge warship group in the void began to gather.
Their target is the middle of that star zone. The core is to clear the remaining pirates and traitor warships around the entire star zone for an estimated half a month, leaving convenience for the ground forces to invade the specific world.
But that patrol will undoubtedly encounter that place. Ailanbaier has not sorted out his emotions. He doesn't know how to go there, and he doesn't know what he thinks about that world.
Facing the captain who had not seen him for a long time and the bridge of Bordeleau, which he had decorated like a meeting room, Bordeleau had become a core flagship by virtue of his status, from an imperial officer sleeping on the floor to a sun lord commanding an expedition.
On the bridge, the judge looked around with a notebook in her hand, looking at the rooms and decorations there, while emphasizing. "Are all the materials there seized from the traitorous nobles?" Then she picked up a piece of cloth and recognized that the price of that thing was equivalent to her two months' salary through her rich knowledge.
"Yes, he is his god of wealth, and his reverse guidance gave them time to organize the troops and occupy the triangle area. Thank him for his contribution to the empire." Alan Baier talked about the matter with interest. The merchant was initially penniless, so he hoped that the black-hearted king would be kind to the "meritorious person".
The judge nodded and recorded it, a little bit, but Alan Baier felt tired. He was not used to talking so much with others. It was really interesting at the beginning, but it would be another matter if it lasted for two days.
Fortunately, the judge was quite perceptive. She left with the excuse of eating or something, and gave herself time to rest, leaving the Sun Lord to go to the command point and discuss things with the captain.
But the old man asked with lingering fear. "The lady left?"
"Why, if I have done nothing wrong and am afraid of the Inquisition, why do I have that expression." Alan Baier joked.
The captain coughed. "The nobles of the empire are afraid of them..."
"The Inquisition is indeed sometimes too harsh and distorted, but he hopes that I will not be too biased. Captain, I am now a hero of the empire, not those nobles." Alan Baier realized that he still regarded himself as a part of his family, even after traveling so long from the empire.
The captain laughed. "He didn't, but he was a little scared. He knew that the Red Pirates were the most loyal part of the Empire, no doubt."
Alan Baier nodded and asked. "How is the fleet?"
"Very good. Although there are small-scale aliens and pirates passing by, they will be defeated soon. The Red Pirates recruited troops there, and the troops they formed attacked them. Instead, it can be seen that there is a void in the alien power there." The captain replied.
Alan Baier looked at the star map, which was a three-dimensional triangle forward, composed of many dark green dots. One of the inconspicuous dots represented the terrible monster created by the Empire, with a minimum length of 1 kilometer.
Today, as the captain said to Alan Baier, the largest and most proud warship among those insignificant pirate forces is also the size of the smallest destroyer in the Empire.
The huge monster that suddenly appeared in the channel was like a catastrophe for those traitors and aliens who usually acted arrogantly, but the empire never cared about them. Even when Alanbair walked in the flagship, he could not feel the death.
The void was like this. It seemed like magic. All the deaths and sacrifices would turn into something seemingly gorgeous when the huge warship collapsed. Even if the cold bodies of the dead and countless mechanical parts were spit out by hot air, and the broken limbs and bodies drifted, people would be attracted by the disintegration of the huge warship and ignore the lives of "only tens of thousands of people".
She was too big, so big that it made people feel cold, scared, and suffocated. Even in the huge monster composed of thousands of warships, it was not even the size of a planet in the void...
When life is no longer cherished, death is everywhere, and dignity is worthless, those emotions are infinitely magnified in that dark universe. When the population reaches billions, the problem arises. What if the number of lives reaches trillions in the infinite universe?
Advance means death, war means death, and the gloomy main theme continues to expand. In the command point, the captain of the Bordello suddenly looked at the vague signal point, and the auspicious instrument made a sound. "We're here!"
Alan Baier, who was discussing the problem with the judge, asked. "What's here?"
The captain said. "After about 7 days of travel, we've arrived at Skadi, or to be precise, the ruins of Skadi."
Yes, the void is like this, cruel, huge, but narrow. Her narrowness has never been in space, and humans, or to be precise, any intelligent creature, can understand her narrowly. The feeling of birth at this moment is like fate, destined.
Alan Baier's heart is surprisingly calm, completely different from when he knew her destruction. Now he feels a little bit, as it should be.
Although he had thought about what to do long ago, he should not hesitate. Secondly, the strategic location of Skadi is also convenient as a stepping stone for invading the Great Vortex, and can also be used as a headquarters to retake that star zone.
It is not bad to break down and then rebuild. He was appointed as the lord because of Skadi's rather awkward strategic location. She is both important and not so rich. If she loses her biggest population profit, is it difficult to do it?
He has a better choice. He should take care of the big figures of the entire fleet. He should not waste resources because of those stupid personal ideas. Before, he was the leader of Skadi, and now he is the lord of the sun. The positions are different, and they cannot be generalized...
But how many Skadi brothers can come back after going through the whole journey? Can he come back himself? What should he do?
Confusion and restlessness overlapped, which was wrong for the explanation of all his brothers, but also wrong for the irresponsibility of the entire empire. He has always been his own way, but Alan Baier would not hesitate to do the wrong thing, but now he stopped.
Responsibility, the feeling of responsibility weighed on his emotions like a physical entity. He could not be emotional when choosing the target for the fleet to take. He was the Sun Lord, the commander of 60 million Imperial Guards, and the leader of billions of troops in the entire Star Army.
In his mind, he began to consciously pray for the Emperor's guidance, but he was not a god. Even if he became the Sun Lord, even if he was recognized by the Church, it was a private matter. The Emperor would not interfere, maybe.
At least Alan Baier realized this quickly and gave up asking the Lord of Humanity for guidance. Maybe this matter was not so important, but it was quite complicated for him.
"What's wrong with you? You should be happy to be back home?" The judge suddenly said that, interrupting his thoughts. Alan Baier looked at her face and she continued. "In any case, the world you are born in is very important. He checked the records and found no nuclear bombs, only cyclone torpedoes that can destroy the atmosphere. In any case."
"Although it's a bit strange for him to say, but he thinks, how about going to take a look?"
Alan Baier hesitated for a while, and then looked out of the window for the first time. Among the battleships that were close to the high-rise buildings, he saw the charcoal-like planet. The once snow-red world suddenly turned into an ugly red-gray dead ball, and his thoughts instantly returned to the day of satellite training.
Looking at the red gem from the satellite, what does it look like? It's impossible not to be curious, troubled, and homesick. Even if his memory is only in the toil of the factory, the Skadi people are his second home, and the Skadi Fourth Infantry Regiment is.
"Captain, open the hangar. He asked you to dock next to the Skadi, and then the main fleet continued patrolling. He asked me to take them home. Sir, is that the order of the Sun Lord?"
Alanbair said so, but the captain smiled. "He knew I would go there. The Skadi people he knew were not dead. At least he knew that war could not kill me!"
Alanbair turned on the communicator. "The only Skadi regiment, yes, all members of the Skadi Fourth Infantry Regiment go to the hangar. They have their own special mission. Gentlemen, boys, their journey is halfway through. Go back and take a look at the scorched earth, the ruined homes and dead friends."
"Then pick up resentment and hatred again, shoot at the heretics, and Skadi will become their base again, just like before, providing everything for her children."
"Now, gather in the hangar in three minutes, they enter the outside of Skadi!"
The hurried footsteps came from the communicator. All the people who were born in that world have experienced thousands of hardships and finally returned. Complex emotions appeared in people's hearts, and then were covered by the hurried going, because the Sun Lord had decided for everyone.
Three minutes? No, one minute, just one minute, the Skadi infantry who originally lived near the hangar and were ready to attack at any time were ready to go back. After three years that seemed like a month, they didn't expect that things had changed.
They are veterans, heroes, legends of the Empire, and the most elite troops in the entire star zone. It can be said that they are no worse than Kashezen's troops. Even if they are "new recruits", they are no worse than the Red Shields.
Listening to the familiar roar of the transport plane, passing through the almost cloudless sky, the atmosphere of that world was already thin, and now it was completely destroyed by torpedoes, but whether many people did not notice it, or whether they were filled with the emotions of their hometown, even if But Alan Bayer didn't even notice anything unusual.
Then there are traces of flames coming out of the outer layer of the transport plane. To be precise, it is high temperature. But for the Imperial transport plane, such a temperature will not affect the outside. The insulation layer also prevents them from seeing such a situation with the naked eye. The temperature is very high. It will disappear soon because of the special shell.
When the transport plane landed next to the ruins of a hive city, Alan Bair led a team of less than 10,000 people and walked out in void suits. At this moment, Skadi's eyes no longer saw the cold, and the water molecules on the surface were completely evaporated. , bones, and muscles have all turned into pitch-black coke, or to be precise, suffocating crystals.
Large hive cities collapsed due to bombing, and those metal things were the only things that could be saved in the high-temperature east. The world was as frightening as a desert.
But as they walked, they found something good. Alan Bair suddenly discovered that inside the ruins of the hive city, buried under heavy metal, light-colored plants, or moss to be precise, were sprouting, buckled on the legs and arms of Catachan soldiers. The red scarf is fluttering in the wind.
"Gas? Plant?" Alan Bayer suddenly realized something was going on, and other soldiers were surprised and took out the things they carried with them that could be blown away by the wind.
The second lieutenant watched in surprise as his napkin fluttered slightly, "Is it moving?!"
Alan Bayer felt like his head was buzzing. The toxic substances accumulated over the years had disappeared due to the cyclone torpedo, and then the atmosphere of that world still existed and could even produce plants. In other words...
Not only did that world not become a dead world due to the extermination order, but on the contrary, that world now only needs to transport water molecules and soil to get back on track?
Could it be that the cyclone torpedo was not such a benevolent thing? Was there something else going on with the Inquisitor's attack, or was the destruction of that world not as reported by the Inquisition?
Then he shouted immediately. "It's very likely that there are heresy survivors! Everyone prepare their weapons, turn on the auspicious omen, and they enter the ruins to look for potential enemies!"
No matter what problems Buli has, he needs to lead his brothers to uncover the mysteries, and then pay with blood!
