Warhammer 40,000: Mortal Gods

…

During the long journey home of the Zealot Advance, Klein always adhered to his liaison duties. He would only return to his merchant ship when the ship was sailing in subspace, and then no matter where the Zealot Advance left the subspace, it would be safe. It will soon be found by Klein's merchant ship.

The merchants did not have close contact with the ships of the Astra Militarum, but Klein helped Reese, the owner of the Zealous March, to buy power armor that could arm the entire private guard at a low price. In exchange, Reese issued a charter to Klein. Business qualifications.

For several consecutive years, Reed had no message to send to the Tyrone galaxy. He had been obtaining information about Tyrone from Klein, and then learned that Tyrone's army and fleet would expand in size every month. In addition, the Tyrone fleet also sent some warships to cooperate with the Imperial Navy to deal with the raiding ships.

These messages ease boredom on the road.

More and more people will gather in the bar to listen to Klein's emotional telling of the recent void battle between Tyrone warships and raiding ships.

Even later, Reese would come to the bar to drink and listen, but after Klein finished telling the story, Reese would immediately get up and leave when he suddenly started selling dimension engines to Reese.

Time passed until the Zealot March and the merchant ship finally ended their long journey and arrived in orbit of the fortress world of Cadia. Then the army began to gather and board the transport ship to go to the surface.

…

Since Reese hired Klein to help transport the army, Creed took a merchant transport plane.

Inside the transport, Creed and the officers of the Eighth Regiment sat on the left, and Crane and his Merchant Guard sat on the right.

Although there were several Ogryns in the Merchant Guard, others did not smell the stink because their bodies were sealed by power armor.

As the transport plane flew past the transport ship and headed towards the surface at a faster speed, Creed stared at the fortress world of Cadia outside the porthole with mixed emotions.

Many Cadian people never came back after leaving their home planet. If it hadn't been for the recall order issued from Cadia, Creed felt that he would never come back in this life.

"You must be very happy to be able to go home, right?" Klein suddenly asked, "I haven't been back to Tailong for several years. I miss home so much that I can't sleep."

Creed's response was beyond Klein's expectations. He shook his head and said calmly, "My experience here was not very good."

When Creed stared at the land of his home planet, memories kept flashing through his mind.

These memories include a fortress city called Fort Garland on the home planet, the beautiful ranch belonging to the Usaka family near the fortress city, parents who love him, and the kind of kindness that is extremely rare in the entire Cadia. The understanding and quiet girl next door...

All these beautiful things were destroyed by an attack. Creed remembered how each of his relatives and friends died tragically. He also remembered that he was almost killed, but a man suddenly appeared and saved him.

It was a muscular man wearing black power armor and a white robe, holding two guns and carrying a sword on his back.

"What is your home planet like?" Kyle's voice brought Creed back to reality from his memory.

"A hive world. Since the former governor moved or sold all the industrial facilities, everyone can survive without wearing respirators." Klein answered.

"Sounds pretty good."

"What an egg. Compared with the current Tyrone's Nest, it is completely different."

"..."

The transport plane gradually flew into the atmosphere.

Creed saw the Toyoko Plain on the home planet. Three Warlord-class Titans were moving slowly on the plain. These behemoths sounded their sirens as they passed by the army that was stationed on the plain for preparation.

A large number of troops are being prepared on the plains, and there is even a Leviathan command vehicle among them. The armored troops that arrived on the plains earlier are driving tanks into the open entrance of the command vehicle. The size of this thing is not much greater than that of a Titan. let.

"Have the Voskani Iron Cavalry arrived?" Creed asked Kyle.

"They didn't take a boat with us. It will probably take a few days to arrive." Kyle replied.

Creed nodded silently and recalled the prophecy he had received from Qin Mo before - the Voskani Iron Cavalry would launch a rebellion and kill all the top Cadian officials at the landing point on the Toyoko Plain.

On the way back to Cadia, Creed had been thinking about what to do, and finally decided to prepare in advance, at least to organize a counterattack as soon as the rebellion broke out.

As for telling others about the prophecy... no one would believe it, and it would also bring trouble to the Eighth Regiment.

After firming up his idea, Creed turned his head and stared at the cabin door.

The transport plane landed on the ground and the hatch slowly lowered.

Creed and others stepped out of the transport plane and began to designate a camping and rest area on the landing site for the soldiers of the 8th Regiment who were about to arrive. Klein and his merchant guards stood aside and watched.

After a while, a small transport plane flew near Creed and his group. At first, they didn't pay much attention until the transport plane landed and two important people and their guards walked out of it.

Although Creed had not returned to Cadia for a long time, he could recognize these two people who had a lot of publicity in the army at a glance - Malus and Calvin. They were the chief and second castle master respectively.

Creed and Klein immediately performed the Sky Eagle Salute to the castle masters.

"Usaka Creed." With an approving smile on his face, Malus looked Creed up and down, and then asked: "I heard that there are three Creeds in the Cadian Assault Army. "

"Yes." Creed knew that there was indeed someone with the same name as him in the army. He nodded: "I am Usaka E. Creed."

After hearing this reply, Malus looked at Calvin with a smile: "He is definitely the best Usaka Creed."

Calvin nodded and said to Creed: "We saw someone on the landing site designated for the 8th Regiment, so we flew over from Leviathan to take a look."

The two castle owners then praised Creed, saying that he was young and promising. This is not an irony. It took forty years to become a general by no means an ordinary young and promising person.

It was also mentioned that many people were dissatisfied with the speed of Creed's promotion.

Creed didn't listen to a word of these words, because he was thinking about the prophecy when he looked at the two castle masters.

If the prophecy is true, if the two castle owners can be allowed to leave the Toyoko Plain, they will not be killed.

After thinking for a while, Creed spoke to the two of them: "The war is coming, and only the fortress is the safest on Cadia..."

"There is nothing to worry about. Our compatriots will arrive faster than the enemy." Malus said calmly.

Calvin and Malus had the same idea and echoed: "It is good to stay vigilant, but you are not on the battlefield now but on the home planet. There are no enemies here, only your brothers and sisters."

Creed knew that this was his only chance to persuade the two castle owners. He said eagerly: "But if there are traitors..."

"Don't think too much." Malus patted Creed on the shoulder. "All the existing and upcoming armies in the entire Cadia have fought bloody battles. They are loyal warriors who have been tested by the God Emperor."

Creed opened his mouth to speak, but swallowed back what he wanted to say. After struggling for a moment, he nodded and said, "I was overthinking it."

Malus patted Creed on the shoulder and returned to the transport with a smile.

Calvin glanced at Creed and then followed him onto the transport plane.
