Containment Control Starts With the Umbrella

"Sergeant, by the end of the year, the yield of our hybrid vegetables will definitely be about twice that of other farmlands."

Standing behind Gabriel, a blood crow with a rake on his left shoulder said proudly looking at the entire farmland.

"Yeah." Gabriel also nodded with a smile on his face, and said:

"I hope that our research results in the past two years will live up to our expectations."

Ordinary Astartes, even when there are no combat missions, they will train, simulate training and simulate confrontation with comrades-in-arms all the time.

Anyway, they are always in training to improve their own fighting skills and accomplishments.

Look at Gabriel and his blood crows...

Apart from studying technology, agriculture, and lore, there is little discussion about combat.

Gabriel walked through the field full of crops, chatting with the blood crows who were farming from time to time, and finally the sergeant veteran walked out of the field.

When they came to the barn next to their field, they looked at Fengrao City not far away.

Looking around at the quiet and peaceful scene again, he couldn't help sighing as if talking to himself:

"I really hope that I can stay here forever. Although I have only been to a few colonies, this is definitely the most beautiful world."

Gabriel, like the other Astartes, has a thick voice, and when he said something like this...

If heard by the Astartes of other colonies, it is inevitable that some mocking jokes will be drawn.

Sigh finished.

Gabriel also walked into the barn, ready to pack up the goods inside, as well as the piled up bags of seeds.

at this time.

On the dirt road between the fields, a Warthog was speeding towards the farmland where the Blood Ravens were.

Finally, the Warthog came to a stop in front of the front door of Gabriel's barn.

?

Seeing this situation, the blood crows all put down the farm tools in their hands and gathered towards the barn.

Gabriel, who was in the barn, could also hear that something was going on outside. He lightly dropped the bags of seeds on his shoulders to the ground, and walked out of the barn to the open space in front of the barn.

I just saw a marine wearing a black military uniform with the rank of sergeant leave the co-pilot seat, quickly walked to Gabriel and saluted:

"Sergeant, Captain Macha has detected some abnormalities. He needs to gather all combat units deployed on the surface and return to the 'Observer (The Observer)' immediately."

The military rank system of the Astartes is different from that of regular troops.

The most important thing is that the general Astartes do not have military ranks, and those who have military ranks are rare existences, the elite of the elite.

For example, Gabriel's military rank is sergeant, which is equivalent to captain or major in the regular army.

The Observer is a Paris-class frigate that has been moored at the orbital hub.

Among the ground combat forces to which the Observer belongs, the highest rank is Gabriel, so Gabriel can also be regarded as the highest ground force commander of Harvest Star.

"Okay, I see, we will go to the orbital elevator in the city center later, and return to the observer immediately."

Hearing the sergeant's report, Gabriel's expression became much more serious, and he responded in a deep voice.

"Yes." The sergeant returned to the Warthog after reporting the situation.

Then, another marine drove the Warthog away from the Blood Ravens' farm.

The Blood Raven who spoke to Gabriel before, looked at the Warthog leaving, frowned slightly and said:

"Sergeant, is there an abnormal phenomenon on Harvest Planet?"

"Maybe." Gabriel didn't deny it:

"After all, the Fengrao star has enjoyed peace for more than ten years. If there is no abnormal phenomenon, it will be strange."

With that said, Gabriel walked towards the dormitory building not far away, and said to all the blood crows:

"Okay, now is not the time to chat, let's put on combat equipment and go to the orbital elevator in the city center."

"Yes, Sergeant."

next.

A group of muscular 'farmers' followed Gabriel back to their dormitory.

After changing their combat uniforms and helping each other, they changed into ceramic armor, and took out their respective bolt guns, heavy bolters and plasma cannons.

Afterwards, thirty blood crows drove two exclusive large trucks towards the center of Fengrao City.

Come to the city.

Passing pedestrians and drivers looked at the two trucks with doubts.

The citizens of Fengrao City are no strangers to the Astartes who work in the suburbs of the city. What is strange to the citizens is that these Astartes have actually changed into combat equipment.

So they all showed confused faces, guessing whether something serious happened to the Harvest Star, which had been quiet for more than ten years.

soon.

Two trucks came under the track elevator.

If you look at the orbital elevator from a distance on the outskirts of the city, or from a high altitude, you will think that the orbital elevator is thin and long, and it will break when the wind blows.

But when I came to the bottom of the elevator and looked up, I felt that the elevator's lifting track was very 'thick', with a diameter of about 500 meters.

And there are many large glass windows on the outer wall of the track, allowing the outside world to see the inside of the lifting track, and also allowing people who take the elevator to watch the outside world.

Below the track elevator is a site similar to a transportation hub, guarded by local security and two platoons of marines.

When the blood crow arrived at the entrance of the elevator dedicated to transporting goods, a large number of military vehicles also arrived here, and the heavily armed marines and hell paratroopers got off the vehicles.

Counting the blood crows, the number is about four hundred.

Afterwards, the four hundred people gathered together and walked towards the freight elevator together.

And many marines and Hell paratroopers are still laughing and joking, saying that it is not easy to meet the opportunity to gain military exploits on Harvest Star.

Everyone is full of confidence in their comrades-in-arms, troops, and equipment, and with the assistance of thirty Astartes, they are indeed capable of dealing with most abnormal phenomena.

Immediately afterwards.

These more than 400 combat troops belonging to the Observer took a freight elevator with a carrying capacity of 440 tons, and moved towards the hub station at the end of the orbital elevator.

Inside the elevator.

Because it is a freight elevator, there are no seats at all, and it looks very empty.

However, using the technology of the Reaper civilization, the elevator was rising very fast, but it still made everyone in the elevator walk on the ground.

Equipped with huge glass windows, it is also possible for everyone to discover that they are indeed 'quickly' away from the surface.

Shortly after.

The combatants deployed on the surface all came to the hub station in low-Earth orbit, and used the connecting channel to enter the Observer's ship.

Inside the bridge.

Standing on the side of the center console were Gabriel, the lieutenant of the marines who commanded three companies, the second lieutenant who commanded the Hell paratroopers, and the captain Macha mentioned by the previous sergeant.

The female captain with a resolute face and a glamorous expression said in a low voice to everyone present:

"Everyone, we seem to have discovered a giant ship of non-human technology not long ago."
