Stars for the good Warhammer

Chapter 8 From Cadian
  "A transport ship from Cadian? Why are they here?"

After hearing the report, the butler Kalman had a look of disbelief on his face, and no one noticed that Otto's eyes suddenly lit up when he was standing in front of the mirror.

"How many of them are there?"

As he spoke, Otto suppressed the excitement in his heart and quickly came to the soldier.

"According to the captain, the ship is carrying members of the Thirteenth Regiment of the Cadian Assault Force, a total of about three thousand people."

These words naturally aroused Otto's interest. As an elite force stationed in the Cadian Gate defense area, this is a group of experienced soldiers who are extremely good at fighting against subspace creations and have extraordinary fighting will. Even if there are only more than three thousand People, their combat power is not comparable to that of ordinary planetary defense forces.

If this group of people could be retained, it would surely be of great help in supplementing the planet's combat power and in building the future defense corps. However, the old butler on the side obviously did not think so.

"Cadians? Why did those guys come here if they couldn't stay at the front? There are no Chaos minions they are looking for here."

Kalman's words made the soldier responsible for delivering the news look very embarrassed. After thinking about it, he cast his eyes on Otto who was standing aside to listen, as if he was hesitating about something.

"Lord Otto, according to the people on the spacecraft, Chaos has completely destroyed the Cadian defense line. Enemies are currently pouring out from the Eye of Terror area. The empire has lost control of the entire Cadian system."

The soldier had just finished speaking. After taking a breath of cold air, Kalman on the side couldn't help but widened his eyes and exclaimed with disbelief.

"This is impossible! Those people must be lying!"

It seems that even this old butler is very clear about what the fall of Cadian means. From now on, the entire empire will be more frequently affected by those evil entities.

——An era of chaos and disorder is about to begin,

In contrast, Otto on the side was much calmer. After all, these had been expected by him, but what he didn't expect was that the news about the fall of Cadian would be conveyed to Haven so quickly.

"My Lord Governor, how should we deal with them?"

Facing the inquiry, Otto was silent for a moment. Finally, after carefully weighing the pros and cons, he ignored the old butler beside him who was already confused, stepped forward and patted the soldier on the shoulder with one hand, and then calmly The voice ordered.

"They are allowed to dock and provide basic support, but no one is allowed to leave without my order."

"In addition, let the defense forces of the star port be on alert. Do you understand?"

Having received a direct order from the governor, the soldier responsible for delivering the message responded with a firm voice.

"Yes! I'll go notify you right away."

Not long after, shortly after the soldiers left, there was another rush of footsteps in the corridor.

Before the bedroom door could be completely closed, a white palm was once again placed on the door panel in the next second.

The person who came was none other than Miss Rayana. At this time, she was panting and holding the door panel with one hand and the other hand on her knees, looking out of breath.

Otto noticed that the other party held a written document with a seal in his hand.

"Lord Otto. I just received news about Cadian from the Imperial Navy Command in the sector."

"I already know, someone just reported this to me."

As he spoke, Otto turned to the mirror and tightened the last button of his shirt. Then he reached out and tried to take the shawl embroidered with the double eagle emblem from the maid's hand, but just as his fingertips touched the other's. moment.

Perhaps because this action came too suddenly, the maid in charge of changing clothes instinctively retracted her hand, and a trace of imperceptible panic flashed in her eyes. For some reason, the other party seemed a little absent-minded with such a small movement. Naturally, it did not escape Otto's attention.

Perhaps realizing her mistake, the maid who reacted quickly stepped forward and took the initiative to put a gorgeous shawl on him. It must be said that with the existence of this thing, Otto in the mirror suddenly had an extra glow. Special temperament.

Anyone can tell at a glance that the person standing here is an imperial noble and the leader here. To a certain extent, leaders and idols have a lot in common. "You're just in time, Raya."

"Next, accompany me to the camp and prepare the airport to transport troops."

As the words fell, Otto, who had finished dressing, quickly walked out of the bedroom. He didn't make any comment about the maid's rude behavior just now, but silently recorded her appearance in his heart.

——A girl with long braids, as pure and taciturn as a shepherdess.

Regarding such an order, Raya, who was standing in front of the door at first, did not immediately understand its meaning.

"Sir, what are you planning to do?"

In response, Otto, who walked out of the room, just replied in a calm tone.

"I have to make sure these guests don't pose a threat to Haven."

In any case, these people are survivors in the Chaos battlefield, and it is not ruled out that some of them have fought against those dangerous subspace demons. Even though they are the best Cadian warriors, they have also changed. In spite of the fact that they are mortals.

No one can guarantee whether the existence of those evil things will pollute the minds of these warriors. Therefore, in order to ensure that no accidents occur, some necessary precautions are indispensable.

By the way, Otto also wanted to see with his own eyes what a legion that often appeared in stories and was famous for its courage and loyalty would look like in reality.

  Seeing that the Governor was about to leave, the old housekeeper Kalman, who recovered from the shock, first gave instructions to the young maid behind him.

"You! Go and clean up this place!"

In response, the woman just nodded silently.

soon
  After the group of people gradually walked away and confirmed that no one was around, the young maid dropped the quilt cover in her hand and walked quickly to the window sill.

The moment he pushed it away, a dark-colored servo-skull drone slowly emerged from the shadow of the eaves above the balcony.

The moment she saw the thing, she first took a deep breath, and then reported it word for word clearly and slowly in a serious tone.

"The personality of Subject No. A13 has undergone a major change in a short period of time, but it is currently impossible to prove whether this is related to heretical behavior."

"As for the disaster that happened to the Cyrus family, perhaps it is related to the Chaos cult forces entrenched in the Hazy Galaxy. Further investigation will be conducted in the future."

After recording these voice contents, a somewhat lame mechanical sound came out from the broadcast of the skull drone.

"Your 37th mission report has been recorded. Please continue to pay attention and be alert to all potential threats for the sake of the Emperor."

After the voice playback was completed, the drone's light wave blocking device was activated again. As the drone slowly rose, the strange-looking mechanical device soon disappeared without a trace in the air.

Staring at the gloomy sky covered with dark clouds above her head, the young maid cast her gaze in the general direction of the Cadian Sector. She took out the pendant hanging on her chest, held it tightly and faced the sky. A sincere prayer.

"The Emperor's blessing."

Soon, the light of a star shone through the clouds and fell to the ground. As the woman slowly opened her palms, the sunlight reflected on the inconspicuous silver jewelry.

——On it, the symbol of the Inquisition is shining brightly.

　Is anyone watching?
