Warhammer: Start with a dog

Chapter 538 At the same time-

"Has the message been sent to Conskavan? Regarding Operation Flower of Cadia? And, has our request for mass defense been sent to everyone else?"

In the new headquarters - which now stretches for a considerable distance beneath Clough Castle and was actually part of the former laboratory of the Klan Sage - this cave system follows the interior of the ancient ruins, Empty and complex, its secrecy and defensive measures are obviously very suitable for maintaining the safety of the entire command and the Lord of the High Fortress. The Klan Sage also agreed to lend his skitarii and battle robots.

"Yes." Kyle nodded, "The signals have been sent out, but there is no response. The signal from the Logistics Minister may not be good. Besides, I mean, the Black Templar doesn't have it, and the Space Wolves don't have it either. They don't even fight. There was no reply from the nuns, which was very strange. Logically speaking, they should have seen it.”

"Yeah." Creed put a cigar in his mouth again, but he didn't light it because even the almighty Staff Sergeant Kyle couldn't find a second complete cigar now. "Perhaps living saints are perfectly capable of inspiring mortals, but those Emperor's children see it differently."

Sergeant Kyle made a disapproving sound to his commander, and at the same time carefully looked around to make sure that the staff officers, staff, and others who were busy around him did not notice the conversation between the two of them here.

Creed has always been like this. Although he has been outstanding since he was adopted by the Eighth Regiment and entered the military system, Garland Kyle, who had known him in the Cadian White Shield Army, knew very well that although this old friend He has talent on the battlefield, but his subtle insouciance towards the Holy Emperor and Terra, or his overemphasis on the people of Cadia themselves, always makes Kael worried.

Fortunately, Ursaka E. Creed is now the most successful living commander in Cadia in every sense. Even so, we still have to guard against the future liquidation of the local traditional military families and the Inquisition. Kyle thought, mentally planning the content of Creed's next speech.

I don't know if it was a coincidence or some devil's plan, but out of the corner of his eye, Kyle saw an eye-catching figure forcefully separating the wave of flustered staff officers and secretaries in front of him, and walking straight towards them.

"Oh, no," he whispered, trying to get Creed's attention. "Promise me, Ursaka, not to have a big argument with her."

The Lord of the High Castle turned his face and saw the strong and tall woman walking towards them.

"Then you have to find us a room that no one is using as soon as possible, Kyle." Creed's jawline tightened, and he frowned, "I think the confrontational attitude between the Imperial Tribunal and us is not appropriate here at this moment. Show it to my subordinates."

At the other end of the vast stone hall, Inquisitor Thalia Davona, the supreme leader of the Rebellion Order in Cadia, was walking towards them firmly.

Karkadius Shiron suddenly appeared outside the Warmaster's conference room. This was the first time Mokas saw this always calm and elegant Alpha Legion intelligence chief with such an obvious facial expression.

"She is coming! They are all coming!" said the Master of Alpha Intelligence. "They will come eventually! But not now! The path of destiny is full of mist! Warmaster! And, Daughter of the Fortress! You are here Sitting there, have you not noticed so many obvious problems in the fortress and its surroundings?”

Draula suddenly stood up, ran to a wall of slightly withered flesh, and pressed her palms and forearms directly against it.

The power of subspace was forcibly injected into the black stone through her guidance, and then the mass of flesh and blood began to squirm vividly. Mocas's eyes began to adapt to different visions. Now, she became the black stone fortress.

Her eyes saw the eight spiers of the Blackstone Fortress, and her eyes also saw the blue-green second continent of Cadia below and the ice caps in the distance. The crossfire light of the huge-caliber artillery or the sudden fire somewhere Explosions of fire flashed beneath the clouds on the planet's surface Then, she saw the captain of the Eternal Will murmuring in a low voice in his throne connected to the cable. She saw the soldiers of the Black Legion entering the airdrop bay and the Thunder Eagle, and they were constantly dropping missiles towards the ground. She saw The fortress slaves are working in the lower deck cabin——

etc! What is that? ! That is definitely not a living creature from any fortress or a member of the Black Legion!

She hurriedly mobilized the eyes of more fortress slaves and drove them staggering through the cabin that was blasted at the bottom. This is the usually empty bottom room. This kind of empty room that is not covered with subspace flesh and blood is in the Eternal Will. There are too many places on which no one lives and no one will enter, because without the help of flesh and blood in the subspace, living in them will It makes any legion member feel very depressed - because the slaves of the fortress essentially have no sense of autonomy, they are all connected to Mocas's subspace flesh and blood, so that no one noticed when a hole was blown and a vacuum was opened here. The cold wind froze one group of slaves into broken, crystallized flesh and blood, and she hurriedly changed to another group——

"We were boarded by a group of Space Wolves, and this is your fault." Xiron blamed. Mokas saw nine heads and eighteen wings appear around his head. The prophesied warp vortex appeared one after another beside his shaved head like a kaleidoscope. Some of the heads were gnawing at the newly appeared wolf-shaped totem. "But I have to rush over to deal with these invaders first. You'd better mobilize the fortress to help us."

"But it's not my fault!" Mokas sat on the steps next to the throne in despair. She shouted, "The Blackstone Fortress is alive! I can only put the shackles made of the warp around her neck to deceive her attention so that we can guide the main guns and other things to shoot! But she doesn't have any sensors or auspicious instruments that can automatically help us detect the enemy! She won't help us see more!"

"That's because you spend too much time observing other things in real space. So much so that you didn't see it and them appear." The intelligence master didn't blame her more, but this made Mokas even more uncomfortable, because she turned around and saw deep disappointment in the eyes of her beloved warmaster and father.

The heart of the daughter of the fortress tightened as if it was being clenched. Ah! How she wanted to reach out and smooth the painful wrinkles on his heroic forehead!

"Mokas."

"Warmaster! I will help you deal with it! Please don't worry! Please believe me!"

"The target of the wolf pack will not be the one they show." The Warmaster thought so deeply, and the gorgeous halo of blue, pink and purple on his forehead bloomed from the orbit around his forehead like endless feathers, like a gorgeous crown of weirdness, "I was also a wolf pack," he said, "Go to the side of the cave they dug. Smaller caves, more hidden tunnels."

"I will feed them to the fortress for you."

Mokas bowed deeply and followed Xiron out.

Captain Hannah Kaztral flew her beloved plane quickly through the clouds. Just behind them, she heard the sound of her gunner and observer's heavy logging gun firing.

"How are you?!" she shouted, "Rafus! Have we shaken them off?!"

The team that the Dead Eye was in tracked the enemy from the northern wall of Krave Castle to the southern wall. They successfully took a lot of reconnaissance photos, including the Dark Angels' attempt to turn their crashed cruisers into defensive fortresses against demons, the sudden smoke bombs and rapid march of the Iron Warriors, the pursuit of the Space Wolf Iron Wolf Company, and the following scenes whose meanings made her dare not continue to think about them -

She must take this most precious and convincing intelligence photo back! Otherwise, the Supreme Command is likely to be misled! The cunning enemy is trying to plot to replace the Imperial forces and sneak in! The Space Wolf Iron Wolf Company may be making peace with the enemy for some purpose! They are no longer pure! She must warn the command and the Supreme Castle Lord! But words are not enough, no one will believe what she said unless she takes the film back.

Now this precious roll of film is in their cockpit, but when their team evacuated, they encountered ground artillery fire from the demon army and damn hell dragons. Although these damn creatures may not be as light and fast as her plane, their advantage lies in clustering. There are too many of them. These beasts with the stench of sulfur are hunting the planes of the Cadians.

The leader of her reconnaissance team has heroically entangled two dragons with himself so that the wingmen can escape with the film. May the Emperor bless their heroic spirits! And they lost three more planes in the process of fleeing to Clough Castle. Now the team only has Hannah's Dead Eye, and she is less than 100 kilometers away from Clough Castle. They can do it.

The captain's head was swollen, and her face was full of heat and sweat provided by adrenaline. She held her joystick tightly and dared not look back distractedly.

"Rafus! How is it?!" Her loyal and reliable partner, the gunner who had flown with her for more than 200 times, did not answer, but she could still hear the sound of his shooting, da da da, da da da.

The beast behind seemed to be chasing closely, and she seemed to think she could hear the sound of the wing membrane mixed with flesh and metal beating the air.

She tilted the fuselage again, trying to get through the gap between two thick clouds to get rid of the pursuers.

Then she heard the sharp friction sound from the metal skin on the wing with horror - it sounded like some beast was trying to scratch her plane with its huge claws like a cat scratching a toy, and at the same time she felt the port side suddenly sink: her heart sank with it, finally a hell dragon caught up with them, and the wing was a blind spot for Lavs to shoot, although she still heard the sound of him shooting steadily.

"There is a stone forest ahead! I must try to fly at a very low altitude! Lavs! Hold on!"

Then, Captain Hannah Katezlar, a native of the slums of Cadia, began to pull the joystick of the plane with the greatest force she could remember.

“Ursaka.” Talia Davona’s scarred face was extremely firm. An inquisitor who worked for the Order of the Rebellion in Cadia would never be a soft persimmon, just as she stared at Creed with a gleaming gaze without flinching. “I don’t want to say anything false. I want to hear the truth, and I hope you tell the truth, too.”

"We don't tell lies either, Ms. Inquisitor." Creed bit his cigar, then took it off and inserted it into his chest pocket, "You know, I've never been good at telling lies. what do you want from me?"

"I believe you have read that briefing. Everyone who takes over as Lord or Supreme Commander of Cadia will receive this briefing notice from the Tribunal." The Inquisitor carefully examined the face of the Lord of Cadia. With every slight change in his expression, he said, "So can you explain to me the reasons for the extra troop movements and civil engineering work that my investigators reported to me?"

During that briefing, Garland Kyle felt a terrible chill pass through his stomach, and the adjutant who always guarded Creed like a city wall felt his face become hot due to the amplified heartbeat of fear. As a member of the Eighth Regiment who had been with Creed almost everywhere and looked after him for many years, Sergeant Kyle certainly knew about that briefing.

Hell, he is a Cadian veteran who has fought many battles and been to more than one world. He certainly knows what the Extermination Order Agreement and the Extermination Order are. No matter how high-sounding they are, why did he think that his level was at that time? Are you honored to hear this briefing? This was an extermination agreement for his homeland, the world where he was born and raised. Is it because he always thought that this time would pass like the previous twelve times? But the Inquisitor's attitude made Kyle's stomach sink.

"Oh, those." Creed said in a businesslike tone, "You know, hiding caves, reserves, lurking outposts, Cadian mythology says that there will always be magic soldiers coming from the depths of the mountains. Come out to turn the tide, right? That's our reserve team, they will only be mobilized in emergencies and play a decisive role."

The Inquisitor stood up as if to slam the table, but there was no table in front of them, so she stood up and paced around Creed, hands behind her back.

——As if Creed was the prisoner she wanted to interrogate. Kyle thought. This is not a good sign.

"Don't play word games with me! Ursaka! Many of them are setting up temporary landing sites! Don't think I don't know!" she shouted. "It's never been done before because it's never been done like this before. Enormous contact! There are too many demons descending on Cadia this time! Everyone has witnessed the eight-pointed star! The chaos pollution index in the residential area remains high! We cannot take any risk of spreading! Such serious and increasing number of sightings and contacts with subspace entities. Every world needs to carry out large-scale virus bombing! "

"Are you really going to do this? I mean, you're trying to tell me that even if we now have the miracle of a living saint manifesting, and we can finally drive Abaddon away and banish the Black Legion from our world, the Inquisition is going to execute All the newly victorious heroes and people here and then destroy the Empire's strongest fortress world and best recruiting world that Abaddon failed to destroy?"

"The living saint protects the souls of the dead, and I ensure that everything that should be cleaned is left on the ground during the extermination order. To avoid spreading pollution from transporting soldiers." Thalia said coldly, "Of course, including myself, I I've seen enough demons, and I'll stay here with you when the time comes. We have to look at it as a whole. Considering the overall situation, Creed, as long as this place is cleansed, other Cadian troops sent out can be allowed to come back to colonize and multiply. If there are enough Cadian people scattered in the galaxy, these people who have left their homes will be happy to come back. The overall situation is important! Creed! This is for the sake of the empire!"

"Okay... ok... I understand..." Creed began to express his understanding with a hum and a haha, and signaled Kyle with his eyes to ask the inquisitor lady out.

"Don't fool me!" She rushed over, almost close to the Supreme Lord's face, "You must tell me personally! Promise me that you will implement the final agreement!"

"..."

"Look directly at me! Speak your answer out loud!"

The Lord of the High Castle shook his head, closed his eyes, and muttered something, and then he answered the judge.

"Make sure there are no evacuations," he said.
