Chapter 67 The Motor Oil Guy: Are You Kidding Us?
Chapter 67 The Motor Oil Guy: Are You Kidding Us?
The captains of the guardian fleets of the world of Volda could only sigh silently after seeing the changes to the command structure.
The captains of the guard fleet immediately ordered their warships to change direction and position within the fleet, while the cannons of each weapon array slowly turned, aiming at the warships of the Ovasecto family around them.
"Fire!"
With a command from Cage in the command channel, the macro cannon opened fire first.
The huge muzzle light illuminated the surrounding starry sky like stars.
The massive cannonball passed through the void shield without incident and exploded directly on the unsuspecting warship deck.
Due to the formation of the warships, there were guard fleets almost all around them.
A single volley of broadside fire from the Hongpao was enough to cause most of the family's warships to have their Void Shields flickering.
Immediately following a volley of light spears, the Void Shield was instantly overloaded, and the light spears fell one after another onto the warship's armor plating.
The already tattered and cracked armor plates shattered instantly into dust under such a dense bombardment, igniting various areas inside the warship and causing a massive secondary explosion.
Tie Hui stood on the bridge, looking through the command window at the distant dark starry sky, at the massive salvo of warships that only appeared in science fiction movies.
He couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. Although he had witnessed fleets setting sail over the past year, this was the first time he had seen such a large-scale battle between warships.
The battles between these warships were not as backward and bleak as he had imagined in his previous life; instead, they gave him a feeling that he could only see in science fiction videos.
Keep in mind that the Warhammer universe is a proper interstellar world.
However, due to the system and the chaos, people often first feel the gloom and backwardness of the Middle Ages.
But in reality, the duel and battle scenes between the two sides are in no way inferior to any science fiction blockbuster, especially the Astartes warships, which are spotless and full of science fiction feel during the battle.
This is why Tie Hui couldn't help but show a shocked expression when he saw this scene.
But this left Cage, who was standing to the side, extremely puzzled. He was clearly the second heir of a family.
Why do you look like you've never seen the world before?
The beams of the light spears and macro cannons intertwined, turning the starry sky in that area into a death zone.
Meanwhile, at the edge of the galaxy, another part of the guard fleet that was patrolling also arrived at this time.
Similar to the configuration of the Ovasecto family, it also has a Luna-class cruiser as its flagship.
However, that Luna-class cruiser was specially modified by the Mechanicus at the request of the Governor of Volda.
A fleet of five specially modified warships slowly approached the vicinity of the Kurlos.
They dutifully joined the command structure, and the first order issued by Cage and his team was to transfer the Star Speakers, Mechanic, and some crew members from the ship to fill the vacant positions in various parts of the Kurlos.
This is how you get the warship moving.
But Cage only allowed these people to enter through one entrance to the ship.
Because there is only one retractable airtight connection pipe available, the speed of personnel dispatch is greatly reduced.
But it's all for safety.
As the hatches on both sides opened, the Star Speaker and the Mechanical Priest, who were leading the way, were all stunned.
Because a person dressed in medieval metal armor stood imposingly in the center, leaning on a heavy sword.
Tie Hui came here to use his psychic powers to detect whether any of the people in this group had been bewitched by Chaos.
After all, no one can guarantee that.
"Hello everyone!" Tie Hui smiled faintly, though he wasn't wearing a helmet at the moment.
His face, which surpasses Daniel Wu's in beauty but falls slightly short of the reader's, is adorned with a smile that makes one want to punch him.
"I am the lord of the Ovasecto family, and also the security personnel sent by the Astartes to ensure your safe arrival at your posts." With that, he drew his greatsword from the ground, turned to the side, and gestured, "Please, everyone!"
The Star Speaker remained silent and was the first to walk over.
Senior non-commissioned officers from various departments followed suit, followed by junior non-commissioned officers, officers, and the thin, hunchbacked junior crew members.
Even Tie Hui, who was used to large-scale battles and bloodshed, was shocked when he saw the physiques and numb expressions of these low-ranking crew members.
My chest felt tight, as if a breath was blocking it.
Everyone moved quickly, but the group of mechanical cultists stood in a small circle not far away, discussing something.
And every now and then his body would tremble slightly, and then he would turn around and glance at Tie Hui.
Even after most people had left, the group of motor enthusiasts were still muttering to themselves.
After checking the last group of people and confirming that there were no problems, Tie Hui could only walk over helplessly.
"Fathers, what are you discussing?"
The sudden sound of these words startled the group of motorists gathered around.
For a moment, the motorists looked at each other in bewilderment. Finally, the last one, who was slightly taller, stepped forward and gave a standard gear salute.
"Lord Tiehui, we apologize for our intrusion, but we have taken the liberty of scanning your protective gear. This was unintentional on our part, and it has become a habit."
The way Tie Hui apologized first and the content of his apology made it clear to Tie Hui why these guys were acting this way—they were after his mithril armor.
An idea immediately came to mind, and he prepared to see if he could give these people a hard time.
We need to maximize our profits!
Tie Hui asked knowingly, "So?"
This made the mechanical sage want to curse, "What a fucking liar!" But since they were the ones asking for help, they had no choice but to be taken advantage of.
"We are very interested in the materials used for the armor you are wearing and the weapon you are carrying." The Mechanical Sage made no attempt to conceal his desire for the mithril armor and the greatsword.
Tie Hui feigned surprise, looking down at his armor and the heavy sword in his hand. He then reached out and touched them, pretending they were something extraordinary, and said, "Oh, so this is what you mean, Sage?"
Immediately, he said solemnly, "This is a gift bestowed upon me by His Majesty the Divine Emperor. As you know, I was poisoned and cremated in the incinerator. But I have now been resurrected, clearly due to the power of His Majesty the Divine Emperor. And to protect my safety, he specially bestowed these things upon me. This is the most important thing in my life, even more precious than the relics in the warband, even more precious than the laurel wreath on His Highness the Regent's head... I would never..."
As Tie Hui continued his rambling, it seemed he was about to elevate the weight of this thing to a level comparable to the Emperor's Sword.
The mechanical sage immediately stated, "Through my scan analysis, your facial expression shows 73% cunning, 15% mockery, and 12% dishonesty. Based on this data, we can conclude..."
You're kidding us.
