40K: Where did the Emperor go?

Chapter 67 Strategic Deployment
On the battleship, Xiao He looked at the holographic universe chart and said, "What should I do next? It's not easy to support Cadia. This time Chaos is fully prepared, almost occupying all the stable Mandeville points in the galaxies around Cadia."

Sanguinius also praised: "The opponent's strategic and tactical layout is really good. Cadia is surrounded by a star fortress to stare at a star fortress. The star fortress guards are also guarded by other affiliated starforts. They are ready to support at any time, but they still quietly took many important strategic points."

Ke Zi: "This is not a one-day achievement. It must be a dark hand that gradually erodes and buries little by little over a long period of time, and finally explodes at the same time at a certain point in time."

The Emperor: "Abadon's twelve black expeditions were not all fought blindly and for nothing. This time he has the full support of Chaos, and the power he gathers is terrifying."

Xiao He: "We must open a way out, otherwise our troops will be trapped if we rush to rescue us."

The emperor stretched out his hand to fiddle with the star map, and the holographic projection of the stars was like a plaything in his palm. He drew out strategic routes like a master of art and painting drawing beautiful lines, and circled and marked important positions: "We need to divide our troops to raid multiple galaxies and regain the dominance of navigation in the shortest possible time. After that, other forces of the empire can enter the battle smoothly."

The world's greatest strategist just spit out a few words and moved his fingers to sort out the messy battlefield situation in an instant, and planned the best strategic plan.

The troops were divided into four groups. The Emperor, Kezi, Xiao He and Sanguinius each led the way, covering and echoing each other to create a route.

Xiao He poked Sanguinius' leg with his elbow, and now Xiao He is much shorter than Sanguinius: "How is Bibi? Let's see who cleans up his line first."

Sanguinius raised his eyebrows: "What about the bet?"

Xiao He: "I got a bottle of high-quality red wine, 31 millenniums, plus [-] recruits of time travelers, and bet on your thirty time travelers."

Sanguinius: "It's a bet."

Ke Zi came over and said, "I'll bet you [-] traversers, add your bottle of wine."

Xiao He smiled: "Yes."

Ke Zi: "Lend me your company commander "King of Dragging"."

Xiao He: "Brother, you misunderstood. He is my first company commander. He helped me carry the gun and dig the trenches. I even sent him to Taxingla for further training. Now he is the main backbone of our army."

Ke Zi: "So?"

Xiao He: "I have to give you money."

…………

"King of dragging" looked at Xiao He who was counting a large number of armor and ammunition obtained from Ke Zi.

"King of Procrastination": "So you just sold me out?"

Xiao He bit her pen and calculated: "Don't say it so badly, whether it's for sale or not, the "red flag with five stars" under Ke Zi's hand said it well, we are a brick of the empire that needs to be moved there, and it's an organizational decision to transfer you there."

The "King of Dragging" clenched his chin: "Didn't you find a new company commander outside, and plan to kick me to the new Jubilant place?"

Xiao He showed a smiling face: "This is too hurtful, am I that kind of person? This is only temporary, and I will transfer you back soon. You are my number one convincing general. Have you heard of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms that "turn off the lights and sleep"? You mean to me like Dian Wei under Cao Cao, Zhao Yun under Liu Bei."

The "King of Procrastination" shook his hand and took out a list with a "wow": "Then my Prime Minister Cao and Uncle Liu Huang, I have exchanged so many things for you, and your old man will also give us some points."

Xiao He took over the list: "Stupid? Five battle barges, two cruisers, and traversers: Scrambler, Omniscient Triangle Bill Cypher, Chicken Noodles Taimei, Hell Paratrooper 4444... more than 100 traversers, and they must be fully equipped with choirs, sailors, auxiliary troops, assholes, robbery! What do you mean?"

The "King of Procrastination" smiled and said, "Don't leave the old army. I can't bear it. Look at it like marrying a girl. You have accepted all the dowry. If you don't give us a dowry, I won't be bullied when I go naked!"

Xiao He was annoyed: "Your dowry is too rich, I can give it to you if you want weapons and equipment, but you really dare to say such a thing about these more than 100 traversers!"

The "King of Procrastination" smiled and said, "You have to look at it this way, it's like marrying a girl, our group is considered a big family, this big family lady is not allowed to accompany a few dowry girls when she gets married, so you won't lose face as an old man when you go out like this."

Xiao He stopped her with her hand: "Don't, I can't afford to pretend to be a big family, so you can give me this dowry."

Xiao He patted her face twice: "You give me these things, and you take my face. You can step on it or pee, whatever you want."

"The King of Dragging": "What do I want you to do? Look at you, Marshal of the Third Reich, why are you so stingy?"

Xiao He slapped the account book on the desk: "I, the Generalissimo, owes a lot of bad debts now. When the cannon fires, it hurts more to burn money than to burn my flesh. Otherwise, I need to transfer you to change equipment? Anyway, if I want money, I will kill you. If you really can't, cut off my head and see if Chaos and the Empire bid higher. You can exchange it there."

"King of dragging": "It's okay to have a little less, and give it to a cruiser."

Xiao He ignored him and concentrated on doing her own thing, obviously treating him like nothing.

At the end of the day, it was a bit of a joke, of course it was impossible to give battle barges and warships, but a team of traversers was also squeezed out and handed over to the "King of Towing".

…………

Abaddon looked at Cadia in the star map. He was very unhappy. So many people died in the fight, and so many troops were lost, but the results obtained were surprisingly small.

Abaddon looked at Perturabo who was fiddled with the military flag with ease on the opposite side: "There are strange things on this planet."

Perturabo didn't care: "Oh? Really?"

Abaddon's temples were bulging with veins: "It's not good for you if I lose, are you just watching?"

Perturabo sneered: "If you can't even go out with the plan as the first step, then how do you want me to believe that you can fulfill your promise to me? I gave you the support I promised, and then it's time for you to let me see the reward."

Abaddon thought: "There must be a very powerful character on this planet who is secretly manipulating the situation. He must be found."

Perturabo lay back on his metal seat. "Whatever, I won't help you against anyone but my father and my brothers."

Abaddon: "Then I am sure there must be at least one Primarch on this planet."
