Stars for the good Warhammer.

Chapter 11 Turayan

I do not know how long it has been.

As the automatic doors quickly opened to both sides, the officer they had seen in the port area suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

The man's body was covered with bandages, and blood was still seeping out from some places. His left forearm was missing and had only been treated briefly.

Accompanied by two Cadian soldiers, the other party straightened his back as much as possible and stepped into the room with steady steps. His energetic appearance did not look like a seriously injured person.

When he saw Otto standing in front of the management platform and stared at the young noble in front of him, the man hesitated for a moment until a powerful voice came from the room soon.

"It is an honor to meet you, Lord Governor."

The man's tone was very mature and steady, and there was almost no emotional ups and downs in it. It was like he was making a report. Anyone could tell that he was a standard imperial soldier.

"My name is Turayan, acting commander of the 13th Assault Regiment. Thank you for your generous help to my brothers and sisters."

When the words fell, Otto handed the data pad back to Raya's hand, with a friendly smile on his face.

"On behalf of Haiwen, I welcome your arrival, Captain Turalyon."

This is a set of standard official terms, but it is through these seemingly brief conversations and the brief exchange of eyes that Otto can keenly sense that the man is obviously wary of himself.

After all, in the first impression of the general public in the empire, the planetary governors are often a group of people who are not very anthropomorphic. It is normal to have such a reaction.
  Since receiving the blessing called [Psychic Potential] not long ago, Otto can clearly feel that his senses of the outside world and his inner intuition are obviously several levels higher than before, although he has not yet reached the level where he can The degree of peeking into the inner world is enough to give him more advantages in contact with the outside world.

As for the origin of this ability? He could only recite the emperor's name silently in his heart, while forcing himself to stop thinking as much as possible.

"We haven't received news from the Terran government for a while. Can you tell us what happened on Cadian?"

Faced with Otto's inquiry, Turayan did not answer immediately. For a moment, he noticed that the other party briefly moved his eyes elsewhere, as if he had been recalled an unpleasant memory.

"At first we thought this was just another useless attempt by the forces of Chaos, until Abaddon's black fleet appeared above us."

"Wizards, mutants, and a large number of ugly creatures began to attack the city of Cadian. During this period, the Astartes from the Imperial Fists and the imperial reinforcements from various places provided us with a lot of help. It is a pity."

The officer's numb tone was full of helplessness about the current situation.

"We thought we could drive away those Chaos bastards like before, relying on the empire's continuous support and hundreds of millions of sacrifices, but instead they smashed some kind of satellite-sized alien creation directly onto the surface of Cadian. .”

"In order to cover our evacuation, Lord Creed, the Lord of the Fortress, led his troops to fight the remaining enemies on the surface until the last moment when the planet was about to shatter."

So far, the plot that has happened is exactly the same as what Otto remembered. Because the attack on Cadian encountered stubborn resistance from the empire, in order to open up this key channel to the hinterland of the empire.

Abaddon, who had been completely devastated, did not hesitate to commit suicide by crashing a precious black stone fortress into the surface of the planet Cadian. After paying such a heavy price, the Chaos Warmaster finally saved his life for him. The blasphemous army swept away the obstacles to invasion.

Looking at the slightly disappointed expression on Turayan's face, Otto first glanced at Kalman aside with his peripheral vision, and then stepped forward and asked with concern.

"Is there any news about Terra? Also, what are you going to do next?"

Regarding this question, Turayan just shook his head regretfully. "Sorry, we haven't been in contact with the Ministry of Military Affairs for a long time. Now the entire empire has been in extreme chaos because of this invasion, and many imperial worlds have also taken the opportunity to fall into rebellion."

"Before retreating, the last order we received was to support the besieged forge world of Agrippina. However, not long after taking off, the spacecraft encountered a sudden subspace storm. In order to avoid being swept away, Entering it, the captain had to change course, which is why we are here."

"As for the next plan."

Speaking of this, Turayan paused for a moment, and there was obviously a hint of hesitation in his tone at the end. After being silent for a while, he seemed to have made some kind of determination.

"Now that the Thirteenth Regiment has lost almost half of its combat effectiveness, we urgently need to get supplies and make necessary repairs, especially the wounded in the team. Those young people need a stable place to stay."

"If you agree"

However, before Captain Turayan could finish speaking, the butler Kalman standing next to Otto suddenly interrupted.

"Sir Otto, I don't think we need to devote precious resources to rescue such a group of guys. This obviously will not bring any benefits to Haven."

Faced with the steward's sudden difficulty, Captain Turayan just replied calmly.

"The Thirteenth Regiment can obey the Governor's orders and provide protection for Haiwen while stationed."

But such an explanation was met with only a sneer from Kalman.

"Huh, protection? Just you and the boy scouts under you? Tell me what you can do?"

Hearing this, Turayan's expression was obviously shaken. He stared at the harsh face of the man in front of him, and finally tried hard to restrain himself and responded with a sharp look.

"Every Cadian is a born warrior. When children in other worlds are still learning to walk, Cadian children are already able to use laser rifles proficiently. I can assure you that the Thirteenth Regiment has The best soldier."

However, what he didn't expect was that the man in front of him would be so unrelenting, as if he was deliberately looking for trouble.

The next second, I heard the other party respond in a nonchalant tone.

"It's not a small tone, it's obvious that you can't even defend your own home."

These words obviously touched the sore point of several Cadian people. Otto, who was observing the situation, noticed that the Cadian soldier behind Turayan had silently put his hands behind his back, but Kalman obviously There is no way to detect this.

"What will you do if those traitors launch an attack on Haven? Just like you abandoned Cadian, will you flee elsewhere and continue to act as deserters? Or..."

These humiliating remarks finally caused the Cadian soldiers present to curse unbearably, but just when the two young men who got on top were yelling and cursing, they planned to step forward to have a serious argument with the old housekeeper.

A powerful voice attracted the attention of everyone present.

"enough."
