Chapter 212 The Actual Situation
symbiont.

The other party used the symbiosis parasitic on mortals to reveal his identity-the reincarnation.

The incision codes for identities among reincarnators are all kinds of strange, but they cannot be separated from a core logic:

If you take out something that doesn't exist in this universe, you can prove that you are a reincarnator.

The universe of Warhammer 40K is so big, and it is not easy to meet the reincarnation who is also an Astarte. Fu Qinghai decided to meet the other party for a while to see where he came from.

Armed with weapons, the three of them followed the man dressed as a refugee along the rugged and narrow mountain path to the poor camp hidden in the canyon.

This is a dirty and messy temporary camp with criss-crossed ruts, potholes, livestock feces and messy footprints mixed together, the air smells of low-quality promethium volatilization, and the neighing of Glocks accompanied by the crying of children, Everything is messy.

The man led them through the curious eyes of all mortals, and came to a temporary building in the center, which was built with scrap iron sheets, plastic felt cloth and fresh wood.

Without waiting for the man to lift the curtain, the active and passive perspective in Fu Qinghai's three helmets has already outlined the outline of the armor of the space warriors behind the curtain. Qiao Shida quietly squeezed the power claw worn on his right hand, and Camille's fingers lightly clasped On the trigger of the bolter.

The man opened the curtain, and the space warrior inside opened his hands and said loudly:

"Welcome, my three brothers."

The familiar cobalt blue came into view, the three-headed sea snake metal relief on the shoulder armor, the dragon head crown on the top of the helmet, and the big black cloak on the shoulders...

Fine arcs flickered on the sharp claw tips.

Joe Star gritted his teeth and said:
"alpha!"

"Relax, relax, man."

The Alpha Warrior hastily raised his arms, indicating that he had no weapons in his hands, trying to appease Joe Star's tense fighting spirit.

"Hold on."

Fu Qinghai gently pressed Qiao Shida's shoulder:

"Listen to what he has to say."

The Alpha Warrior turned his head to look at Fu Qinghai, took off his helmet, and revealed a bald man's face, with smooth gray flesh, peacock blue eyes, and a black dragon scale tattoo on the side of his face. He was grinning and clenched his fists. Salute:

"It's not easy to become a company commander's technical sergeant. I salute you, Khan of the White Scars."

"Smart talker!"

Joe Star snorted angrily.

Fu Qinghai asked:
"Are you the one who killed those three Iron Warriors on the space station?"

"Yes."

The Alpha Warrior nodded and said:

"They began to doubt my identity. I had to act first. There are only some personnel left behind on the space station, and half of the company's Iron Warriors are hiding in the castle. They are strengthening the defense of the warlord's castle. I think you have seen it just now. Arrived."

"Let me introduce myself, my name is 56, you can call me 56, or just call me Alpha."

56. A reincarnation pseudonym that is less sincere than "Jack" and "Quentin".

No. 56 took a deep look at Fu Qinghai:
"As you can see, I'm just like you, bro."

"We are completely different from traitors."

Joe Star immediately retorted.

As everyone knows, what No. 56 said is the same does not mean the camp is the same, but the identity is the same, the identity of the reincarnation.

Fu Qinghai ignored the implication in his words, and asked directly:

"What's going on in Malzaan's current situation?"

Alpha Warrior 56 said:
"The Iron Warriors arrived here before you. They have controlled the local warlord and are excavating the ancient STCs that were sealed under the castle. I had been mixing with them, but the three idiots on the space station began to doubt my I have no choice but to develop my informant and intelligence network among the opposition after being exposed.”

As the one of the [-] legions that is most capable of spy warfare and intelligence warfare, it is very good at infiltrating the enemy, establishing an intelligence network, and developing hidden stakes and eyeliners.

Fu Qinghai is concerned about another issue:
As soon as this guy opened his mouth, he revealed the fact that the STC was hidden under the castle. How did he know that we were also here for the STC?

As if guessing what Fu Qinghai was thinking, No. 56 smiled and said:

"Our auspicious instrument has detected the Goliath-class casting ship in orbit, and even the ship from Mars is coming. If it's not for the STC, what else is it for? There's no need to be careless between us, right?"

Fu Qinghai narrowed his eyes slightly, but said nothing.

The Alpha Warrior went on to say:

"The technological barbarian warlord, Bancroft Kellogg, came to power through assassination and mutiny. He is not very popular in Maldives, and there are many opponents. I have integrated these opposing forces and gradually eroded the territory of the establishment. , occupied the place outside the warlord’s castle, if the warlord hadn’t chosen to compromise with the Iron Warriors and seek their asylum, the castle would have been taken down by me long ago.”

There is no lack of pride and pride in the words of No. 56. One person integrated the disorganized opposition and forced the establishment to hide in the castle. It is indeed a remarkable achievement. arrived.

No. 56 said bluntly:
"To be honest, everyone, it's not that I want to take the initiative to contact you, it's really... how to say, even if you don't come, I will take down that castle sooner or later, it's just a matter of time, not so much I took the initiative to contact you, it is better to say that I was forced to contact you."

No. 56 looked calm as usual, but said the most pretentious words in his mouth:

"I hope you don't mess around, even if you can't provide support and help, don't get in the way, understand?"

Qiao Shida stared:
"how dare you!"

Joe Star stepped forward, and the explosive bomb in the power claw was already loaded.

"Rumble..."

Outside the building, the engine noise of the tank engine sounded. Through the force perception, Fu Qinghai saw that the building was surrounded by mortal soldiers holding guns.

"Three 'Cerberus' flame-breathing tanks, 230 seven mortal soldiers, including two heavy fire squads equipped with plasma weapons."

Camille, wearing a helmet, just glanced around, and immediately reported the number of enemy soldiers and the vehicle model.

The Alpha Warrior who had a calm face raised his eyebrows when he heard this, his expression slightly surprised.

Hearing the sound of tank engines, experienced Astartes veterans might be able to tell that it was a Chimera chassis, but how did they know the model and strength?

A reconnaissance servo skull floating outside?

This is a possibility that No. 56 can think of.

Fu Qinghai chuckled, breaking the tense atmosphere in the room, and said:
"I have two last questions."

"One, how did you judge that we belong to the loyal camp?"

"Second, how did you prove that you also belong to the loyal camp?"

It is not difficult to judge that Fu Qinghai belongs to the reincarnation. His special power armor is a good sign. The key point is that the reincarnation of the Alpha Legion recognized that Fu Qinghai and the three belonged to the loyal camp as soon as he opened his mouth. , started the dialogue on the basis of this major premise, and the meaning inside and outside the words are: Although they belong to the same camp, don't add to the confusion.

Seeing Qiao Shida standing back beside Fu Qinghai, No. 56 gave some instructions to the communication channel inside the neck armor in a low voice, and the mortal soldiers holding weapons outside the building also put down their raised muzzles, and the tense atmosphere relaxed slightly.

The Alpha Warrior then explained:

"The White Scars Brotherhood who rebelled back then were accepted by the Alpha Legion. I know every one of them, and none of them wore your armor. You are not one of them."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Shida asked in the communication channel in surprise:
"There are also traitors in the Fifth Legion?"

Fu Qinghai frowned.

I thought to myself, as the rumors said, a group of White Scars surrendered to Alpha during the battle of the Kondax galaxy.

"As for your second question."

No. 56 paused, and said in a playful tone:
"I think in the current situation, it's not me who is surrounded, and it's not me who needs to prove my loyalty, right?"

At this moment, the man who led the three of Fu Qinghai to the camp just now scrambled and smashed open the curtain and rushed into the house, threw himself in front of the Alpha warrior, and shouted:
"My lord, there are a lot of people outside the camp. I saw the rust-red burqas. It's them... yes, it's the radiation infantry!"

Radiant infantry, that's a derogatory term for cathars by uninformed mortals.

The man took a breath and added:

"Also, there is also a terrifying monster whose upper body is a machine servant and the lower body is a crawler chassis."

The lower body of the heavy cavalry fighter servants has been replaced with a tracked chassis similar to a tank.

Fu Qinghai said with a smile:
"Now, can you prove your loyalty, number 56?"

To the surprise of the three present, this guy was very bachelor. He immediately raised his hands and said with an embarrassed smile:

"I'm just joking with you, haha, they are all brothers from the same camp, how could I kill innocent people indiscriminately, right?"

After speaking, he rushed out the door and shouted:

"It's gone, it's gone, it's all gone, what should I do?"

It is very smooth and natural when pretending to be aggressive, and it is still as if nothing happened after being slapped in the face.

I have never seen such a thick-skinned person.

56 said:

"A little misunderstanding, I have said so much before, isn't it enough to prove my camp, which traitor would be as single-minded as I am to make accomplices."

Fu Qinghai shook his head lightly:
"Not enough, you are an alpha."

Fu Qinghai clearly remembers that the reincarnation world not only has two camps that are either one or the other. In the last major plot line event "Secret Empire", there was a third camp "Leviathan". Enemy's enemy is not necessarily a friend .

What's more, the traitors are not of one mind. In the Eye of Terror, there are many more Chaos Space Marines who died due to the infighting among the warbands than were annihilated by the Empire. Perhaps the attack on the Iron Warriors on the 56th was only because of the Alpha Legion Want STC too?
Alpha is synonymous with deceit and deceit in the circle of space warriors. You still have to find a way to show your loyalty.

Fu Qinghai refused to enter, 56 had no choice but to finally grit his teeth and stomp his feet, as if he had activated some skill. Fu Qinghai and Camille saw together, a line of small words appeared above his head:
【Reincarnation of the Emperor's Camp】

Then the two of them received a reminder in the back of their minds at the same time:

[The reincarnation used the flop hand]

Fu Qinghai patted Qiao Shida's arm and said:

"Put the weapons away, we can sit down and have a good chat."

Poor old Joe, full of shock + inexplicable:

"Ah? I believe him now, eh, no, he is Alpha, can you believe what he said?"

……

Three "Cerberus" flame-breathing tanks and more than 200 mortal soldiers couldn't do anything to Fu Qinghai and the three of them. Fu Qinghai's jetpack was still on standby above the clouds. As long as the signal link was not blocked, he could call over at any time.

Of course, there must be more than this number of troops in the entire temporary camp, but with the abilities of Fu Qinghai and the three of them, it is not difficult to escape, and they can also hold the Alpha fighters as hostages, right?
Before fighting with real swords and guns, others will not know how powerful the brand-new all-different space warriors are. In comparison, eighty cathars and thirty armed servants are more convincing.

On the outskirts of the temporary camp, Fu Qinghai and 56 had a candid and detailed talk.

"Since you are a reincarnation of the Alpha Legion, tell me, what exactly does Alpharius want to do?"

This is Fu Qinghai's most curious question.

No. 56 shrugged and said:
"To be honest, I don't know either."

"I am a recruit who joined the Legion in the middle of the Horus Rebellion. I am not qualified to enter the inner ring at all. The Primarch told us that our actions are for the future of all mankind and are truly loyal to the great ideal of the Emperor."

"After the death of the Primarch, the high-ranking members told us to fight according to our own understanding of loyalty. As an Effricon, I did not act with the large forces of the Legion. I stole the identity of a member of the Fourth Legion. ranks and files, and learned of the company's mission—to unearth the STC hidden beneath the feudal world of Maldives."

"Then I followed along."

Effricon, also known as "Headhunter", refers to those members of the Alpha Legion who are responsible for infiltrating into other legions. They must be very elite space fighters to take on this duty. Their status within the legion is equivalent to that of the first company. veteran.

The Alpha Legion is very funny, and many low-ranking members don't know what their Primarch is thinking, so many Alpha warriors later degenerate into Chaos Warbands wandering around the Eye of Terror and the Maelstrom, still claiming to be loyal to the Emperor Emperor.

For example, in the 41K era, there was an Alpha battle group called "Delisters", who believed that their rebellion was helping the empire to eliminate the weak, curve loyalty, similar to predators in the ecological chain, and eliminate old, weak, sick and disabled hyenas. The leader's name is "Occam", the Occam of Occam's razor principle.

"Half a company of Iron Warriors is helping him, what kind of warlord, still can't beat these guerrillas outside the castle?"

Fu Qinghai felt a little unbelievable.

56 said:

"Those iron warriors, they are just a small team, the warmaster is dead, the rebels are all down, they don't care who rules this planet, they don't care who this planet is loyal to, they only care about being able to They couldn’t dig out the STC smoothly and take it away, if you hadn’t suddenly appeared in space orbit, they wouldn’t bother to help that warlord strengthen the city’s defenses.”

"Then you won't be blocked in the castle and dare not come out."

Fu Qinghai said.

He observed the soldiers in the temporary camp. They were sloppy and disorganized. They looked like a group of armed civilians. They had collected some weapons and equipment left over from the mortal auxiliary army. They were still far behind the regular imperial army.

No. 56 honestly admitted:
"Actually, I have a helper."

"Satfaran, one of the few Raven Guards captured by the Iron Warriors while exploring a space hulk, a veteran who has experienced the massacre at the landing site, was originally imprisoned in the bilge prison, and I found an opportunity to release him. Come out, he is not a reincarnation, but a local aborigine, just like the irritable old man beside you."

No. 56 glanced at Joe Star.

Joe Star looked puzzled.

What "reincarnation", what "local aborigines", why can't I understand?
56 went on to say:

"The people in the camp are all old, weak, sick and disabled. The main force is in the hands of Saterfaran. He is the one who leads the opposition to fight guerrillas. He has ambushed the supply lines of the warlord troops five times in a row. Hide in the castle without shrinking your defenses."

No wonder, it turned out that there were Raven Guards.

The Raven Guard, masters of guerrilla warfare, masters of fighting behind enemy lines, experts in stealth and surprise attacks, guerrillas led by veterans of the Raven Guard, will indeed give every ruler a headache.

Fu Qinghai said:
"You keep saying that you can break through the castle without us. I guess you have an internal response in the castle, right?"

A smile curled up on the corner of No. 56's mouth:
"That's right, as an alpha space warrior, what can you do if you don't have any means."

"I have three mortal servants, all of whom have been trained by the legion for many years. They are all lurking in the warlord's castle, and they will be able to enter key positions in the near future. They and their self-developed downlines have already mastered many Less critical information."

Sprato, also known as "The Sower", is different from other legions who only regard mortals as servants and candidates for recruits. The Alpha Legion has a large number of specially trained mortal agents with biochemical transformation and prosthetic transformation. These mortal agents Known as "Sprato", it lurks in various industries and positions in the human empire, and it will explode with great power when the Primarch gives an order.

In the early days of the Horus Rebellion, these mortal agents caused a lot of trouble for the defense of the Imperial Fist's capital, and almost bankrupted Rogal Dorn's plan to hold on.

"But."

Camille, who listened for a long time, pointed out the loopholes in Plan 56 sharply:

"Even if you have your internal support in the castle, even if the guerrillas have restrained the warlord's mobile force, your frontal strength is still not as good as the Iron Warriors, and you still can't stop them from digging STC and leaving here."

"Um……"

No. 56 pondered for a moment, then spread his hands carelessly:

"You are right."

Camille immediately asked:

"Then why do you say that the castle can be conquered without us, and why do you say that we should not interfere?"

No. 56 shrugged:

"I'm bragging, okay?"

Hearing this, Qiao Shida dilated his nostrils and clenched his fists with anger, wishing to punch the Alpha Warrior's long, cynical and cynical face hard.

Fu Qinghai smiled, but it didn't matter.

Although this guy is a reincarnation, he is still deeply influenced by the gene seed, or he has this kind of temperament in the first place, so he can stand out from the legion.

The memoirs of Alpharius were disclosed in the original novel. As the youngest Primarch, the Lord of Hydra is also arrogant and cynical. He looks down on the other seventeen legions and thinks their tactics are somewhat Mistakes, thinking their Primarchs had character flaws.

Even though he has been beaten up by White Scars, Ultramarines and Imperial Fist, he is still very stubborn.

During the "Battle of Testella" during the Great Crusade, the Alpha Legion used clever and ingenious means to conquer the capital of this human country that was unwilling to surrender, but was criticized by the Ultramarines who fought together because of the heavy civilian casualties. When Guilliman asked Alpharius why he didn't cooperate with the Ultramarines, Alpharius replied:
"Your tactics are too simple and childish."

So angry for the future regent, he directly reported to Warmaster Horus, saying that he would never fight with the Alpha Legion again.

Perhaps No. 56 is really bragging, or there may be some hidden means to keep silent, it's all possible.

At this moment, it was that dirty man again, panting and running quickly in front of the crowd, and said to the Alpha Warrior:
"My lord, an armored car drove out of the castle."

armored car?
Everyone present was taken aback.

56 asked:

"Just one car?"

"Yes."

The man nodded and added:

"It's coming our way."

"What the hell are these people going to do..."

No. 56 muttered a few words in a low voice, got up and said:
"Come on, let's go and see."

As soon as he put his hand on the man's shoulder, a cobalt-blue colloidal object twisted and emerged from the man's body, wrapped around the Alpha Warrior's gauntlet, climbed up his shoulder, and slipped in through the gap in the neck armor. up.

　This chapter was written very early, and it has been polished for a long time. I am still not satisfied with it. It is necessary to properly integrate the characters set by the book friends with the character of the legion itself. Alright, everyone lightly spray.

I always emphasize how grand the world view of Warhammer 40K is, and how grand it is. 18 legions have 18 different internal cultures, organizational structures, and tactics. I have read so many LEX translations and original novels, but I have only touched The tip of the iceberg, this kind of grand world view is really attractive. From my personal reading taste, it is far more obsessed than the question of the technological level of the human empire.
