Chapter 101: Allies

A smile that could barely be called gentle appeared on General Droste's majestic face:

"I trust my judgment, and there is no need to care about some bad heretical remarks and the legality of psykers at this time."

"To say something heretical, if there is a possibility of victory, I am even willing to cooperate with the dead and join forces with aliens."

This sentence of General Droste did not cause any waves in the hall.

The people in this church hall were all soldiers worthy of General Droste's trust,

and Letna's heretical threshold had been raised by Zhou Yun.

On the contrary, Zhou Yun's mouth twitched slightly.

Cooperating with the dead, joining forces with aliens...

This sentence of General Droste was actually right in a sense.

Noticing that his words did not cause any waves, General Droste shook his head helplessly:

"I sincerely invite the two of you to participate in the next meeting; you will take the place that should have been Governor Augustus Flax's."

"Of course, this has to wait until my dear Tech-Priest Shaholik has appeased the machine spirits—"

"Commander, the machine spirits are in great joy." Before General Droste could finish his words, Tech-Priest Shaholik interrupted him.

"What?" General Droste was stunned, looking at the laser communicator behind him in a daze.

In his memory, this ghost thing, if you want to use it in the shadow of the Tyranid swarm, must go through the ritual of the Tech-Priest repeatedly pulling out the plug and socket, and only after applying holy oil and patting it lightly at a forty-five-degree angle can it possibly be used normally.

Although it couldn't be seen from the appearance, General Droste was 180 years old.

He had seen the Tech-Priest's operations many times and probably knew some complex operations to appease the machine spirits.

It's good now?

"Just now, when the two entered the hall, the machine spirits suddenly burst into an unexpected ecstasy, and the state of the entire machine is very good, and communication within the system can be established." Tech-Priest Shaholik's gaze fell on Zhou Yun and Letna.

Letna looked at Zhou Yun in confusion, and General Droste also followed suit and looked at Zhou Yun.

Zhou Yun scratched his head, waved his hands at everyone around him in confusion, indicating that he wasn't very clear either.

The machine spirits were in great joy the moment they saw him?

Could it be that it was caused by him further realizing his Warp essence as the winged figure in the white light said?

Zhou Yun calculated in his heart; he had been studying the abilities he had gained recently.

The first is the ability to sleep; Zhou Yun was surprised to find recently that he could enter sleep quickly anywhere, which seems to be Nobita Nobi's ability.

The second is the god-like shooting ability; Zhou Yun's shooting talent was inexplicably strengthened, almost reaching the level of hitting the target every time he pulled the trigger, which is clearly also Nobita Nobi's ability.

The third is... what the Tech-Priest said just now, making the machine spirits in great joy... Mechanical affinity? I don't know if this is Nobita Nobi's ability or Doraemon's ability...

Zhou Yun couldn't calculate it clearly for a while.

He was even half-believing about the fact that he had a Warp essence.

Seeing Zhou Yun show an expression that had nothing to do with him, General Droste didn't ask any more questions.

Being able to establish a period of communication with other planets in the system was good regardless.

Sparks sputtered in the laser communicator; this kind of communication equipment can perform unstable communication within the system,

but in the situation where the Tyranid swarm is approaching and the astropath's communication is subject to greater interference,

this kind of laser communicator seems even more precious.

Crackling light shone in the communicator, and six faces appeared in it, and one position was empty.

"It seems the Navy doesn't intend to meet and discuss with us." A woman with a scar on her face said.

The Imperial Navy stationed in the Underworld System refused to discuss defense matters with the Astra Militarum and Battle Sisters.

It seems that in their eyes, the warriors stationed on the planets in the system are things that are not needed and cannot be used.

"They have always felt that they are fighting a war that is bound to win."

General Droste opened his mouth with some pessimism:

"And I only hope to persist for a longer time." The Astra Militarum and Battle Sisters all believe that this is a war that will definitely lose, and the only chance is to drag it out for more time and wait for the assistance of the Blood Angels chapter.

The Navy feels that the Tyranid swarm is just a bunch of chickens and dogs, and the Underworld System will stand tall.

General Droste shook his head, throwing these things behind him.

"This is Governor 'Zhou Yun' of the under-hive and Ms. Letna; I think you all know their information." He pointed to Zhou Yun and Letna and said.

No one opposed Zhou Yun participating in the meeting; they all knew Zhou Yun's battle record.

Two Chaos cults, the right-hand man of the Genestealer Patriarch, suppressing the expansion of the Genestealers in the under-hive, plus he is now almost the representative of the under-hive forces in Ashford.

If anyone opposed Zhou Yun participating in the meeting, that would really be a bug.

General Droste was not surprised by this; he turned his head to look at Zhou Yun.

"The information about our allies has also been placed in the file over there, but I will introduce it again."

After saying that, General Droste pointed to the faces in the communicator:

"This lady with a scar on her face is Great Sister Magda Grace of the Order of Our Martyred Lady; she and her 10,000 Battle Sisters will guard Laixi."

Great Sister Magda Grace nodded slightly in greeting: "I heard that you suppressed the offensive of the Genestealers, well done... we didn't do the same thing on Laixi."

!. Read

The Great Sister's tone had both praise for Zhou Yun and guilt for herself.

Because of the intervention of that Inquisitor of the Ordo Xenos, the Great Sister was able to discover that there were Genestealers on Laixi... and according to what Zhou Yun knew, the Great Sister was not the first time to fight against the Tyranid swarm.

"This is the tank commander Alexey Demester of the Vostroyan 1635 Armored Regiment 'Vostroyan Hammer'; he will guard the toxic gas sea of Ixo."

That tank commander Alexey of the Vostroyan Firstborn gave an Aquila salute to Zhou Yun and General Droste.

"I came under the call of General Droste." He said sincerely and resolutely: "This time, Vostroyan will never stand by."

Vostroyan chose to stand by during the Horus Heresy; in order to clear this sin, the eldest son of every Vostroyan family will become an Astra Militarum soldier, swearing never to be absent again when war comes.

They have quite good anti-poison equipment, suitable for fighting in the toxic atmosphere of Ixo.

"This is Commissar Taengel; he will lead the Cadian troops to guard the Void Dome on Tartarus."

General Droste continued to introduce:

"This is Major Henrig Janster of the Cadian 1433 Aviation Regiment; he will guard the gas planet Eros."

Seeing the last one, General Droste paused:

"This is the Cadian Artillery Regiment; they will guard the asteroid belt surrounding the outside of the system, accepting my direct command."

Zhou Yun nodded slightly to the Cadian warriors in greeting.

Thus, except for the uninhabited death world Pertita, every planet in the Underworld System has Imperial soldiers guarding it.

After introducing all the commanders, General Droste sat beside Zhou Yun and pulled the star map of the Underworld System over.

The structure of the entire Underworld System is very interesting.

On the innermost side are two toxic stars.

Moving outward are six planets: Tartarus, Ashford, Laixi, Ixo, Eros, and Pertita.

Further out is the asteroid belt called the Fortress Master Ring.

On the outermost side is the Shining Shield formed by layers of glacial asteroids.

"Let me tell you why the Navy has confidence in victory, and even feels that we people will not be useful."

General Droste sighed and said.
