The Astartes Family's Notebook

However, Zhao Akada's Temple has plenty of Thinkers.

Once we can get the ship back into near-Earth orbit and replace the wet components...

The logic is sound.

"Sage Nicholas, think of a solution quickly."

"There's no way around it. These Zerg are indeed showing signs of retreating, but we can't break through the orbital blockade before they leave."

Oh, then forget it.

"Don't worry about poverty; only by focusing on the present can you look to the future."

Despite spouting nonsensical nonsense that even he couldn't understand, Katz showed no sign of frustration.

He had a great time chopping things up during that period.

This is enough.

Chapter 477 Dogs Know How to Defend

Science must be based on facts.

However, facts are often not based on science.

-------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------

The Warhammer universe in the Groove was really interesting, I'll definitely come back next time!

As Katz reflected on his life, he suddenly realized how fitting a phrase he'd heard somewhere before seemed.

Although there are some regrets, I have a clear conscience.

Emperor, I call you Grandpa, and you call me Cousin. Today, let's...

Samar, who had prepared for a desperate situation, was tricked.

Cousin...

Grandfather...

I was just joking, Your Majesty, please don't take it to heart.

Why did you suddenly become so arrogant and then so obsequious, Elder Ka?

Because the Terran Zerg have withdrawn.

what? !

Kaz was also confused. "I was prepared to fight to the point of exhaustion and self-destruct when the bugs surrounded me. But where are the bugs?"

Let's just withdraw.

The Tyranids used a Gestalt-like command system. During the first and second campaigns, the Tyranids possessed rudimentary intelligence and basic situational awareness.

Back then, the Vanguard's units were incredibly diverse, including all sorts of bizarre and unusual creatures. So much so that when Kaz saw the Void Narwhal, a distinctive Terran bio-ship, he wasn't entirely sure what kind of thing he was fighting.

However, starting from the third campaign, the Hive Will gradually abandoned its fancy disguises and iterated the Terran creatures towards a war form.

At this point, Katz realized that he was probably going to die.

However, the vanguard's duty is to scout ahead and gather intelligence, not to devour everything.

So, after determining that continuing the conflict would be counterproductive, the Terran Zerg retreated.

The true Sigma race is truly terrifying; they are absolutely rational, and when sunk costs are expended, they fall silent and turn away without a word.

Of course, the main reason is that the bones of the space necromancers are too hard and have little to do with humans.

Most of the biomass has been recycled, and the towering siphon tower has withered rapidly.

However, the scattered Tyranid creatures abandoned on the planet's surface still faithfully carried out the will of the Great Devourer, launching an attack on the last line of defense of the Forging Temple.

That's a bit of an underestimation of Astartes' individual combat capabilities.

You guys should at least group up and fight together before attacking. Forming a single line to engage is going too far.

Kars could fight at this intensity for an entire day.

However, the galaxy was still destroyed.

Kaz couldn't fathom the Tyranids' thoughts, but the Necromancers' revenge was imminent.

"Don't go."

This time, it was Zhao Nicholas who said those words.

Zhao Akada, who forged the world, is located in the southwest corner of the Storm Starfield, which is in the northeast corner of the Limit Starfield. Literally, it spans the entire galaxy. There are no lofty ideals here. He is just someone who has been wronged and wants to prove himself.

There's no going back, no going back to my hometown. Just hang in there, what if things turn out differently?

"The space necromancers will surely take their revenge."

Astartes took the Star God fragments from the Necromancers and went on a rampage of destruction, looting, and burning. They truly committed countless evil deeds. If the Tyranids retreat, it would be a miracle if the Necromancers didn't retaliate.

"That's all. I wish you good fortune in your military endeavors."

"Take care."

This battle marked the first time Katz felt a sense of loss.

They were spared by the Great Devourer.

Although it's said that it's better to live a miserable life than to die a good death, it's better to be dead.

Ultimately, the Zerg army failed to breach the last line of defense, and the core area of ​​the sacred site remained intact.

So, using a rather crude method, he added a bunch of auxiliary fuel tanks to the Thunderhawk gunboat, and Katz still managed to send Qiongen and the Thinker Array onto that "stranded" destroyer.

Although it took a long time, at least the ship was saved.

Can I stay?

This is the place where we fought and bled.

No.

Because Katz was too much of a team player, he let the Inner Circle Supermen go when he divided the inheritance.

It's not a question of whether to leave or not, but rather that if we leave too slowly, something amazing is about to happen in a secret room in the Rock Fortress that no one can find.

"Let's go."

As he boarded the destroyer with his brothers, Kaz felt as if his years of war gang life had been nothing but a dream.

"A small question: how did you survive?"

The appearance of academic spies on the ship Huangquan No. 8 was quite unexpected for Kaz.

This guy is still alive.

"I'm the kind of guy who just wanted to die, yet he survived. Isn't it normal for him to be alive?"

Taliman said with some regret.

"Yes, I've been hiding very well, so..."

"So what?"

"So, are you still selling box number 17?"

!!!

Kaz immediately looked at Qiong En, and all the Astartes present raised their weapons and aimed them at the oil man.

It's terrifying; a cyber ghost is looming over the Infernal Galaxy.

First they fought the Necromancers in space, then the Tyranids; one thing after another happened, so much so that Kaz ended up throwing the whole thing into the junkyard of the Memory Palace.

It was really scary when it suddenly appeared at that moment.

"Boss, I've thoroughly formatted the power armor!"

From the moment Kaz stared at him, Qiong En knew that the key to the problem lay in finding the crucial question; answering too slowly would really get him shot.

"No, I fucking want to ask you, did you transfer those optical storage devices over?"

"Yes, didn't you say those were valuable assets, and they don't take up much space? I unloaded them from the warehouse of the Ishimura first."

“Go check it out, Taliman. You take two men and follow behind.”

"Ah."

Qiong En felt somewhat aggrieved, which was understandable. Cyber ​​ghosts were more troublesome than space ghosts, and they needed to be dealt with properly.

“There’s no need for you to go through all that trouble. This child has come into contact with that external thought circuit. I parasitized him through this pathway.”

Holy crap, these academic spies are all powerful tech guys with the strength of a sage, could this old cyber ghost be a wisp of divine thought of a titled expert?

Oh my god, how did Omni-chan get involved with such an old monster!

Kaz didn't know how to respond, and the atmosphere suddenly froze.

"So, are you selling box number 17?"

Sell, sell, sell! I'm selling you orange peel, hemp, and wheat bran.

Kaz instantly became furious.

“Sell? I’ve said it since the first time we met. It’s for sale. I asked you to name a price, but you wouldn’t. How am I supposed to sell it?”

"Please don't get agitated. I was in offline mode before, and there was no suitable medium. The external thought circuits did not support my complex logical thinking."

Yes, that's reasonable, well-founded, and convincing.

"So what price are you going to offer?"

"How about a cruiser?"

"Tyrant-level?"

"It's rare, but it's still worth it."

"I've changed my mind. One Opalon-class battleship."

"That won't do, that box isn't worth that much."

"Does that mean we can't agree on a price?"

"It means you want me to pay more; you'll have to provide some extra services to cover the difference."

The Aba Aba members next to them acted like Astartes, listening to their leader exchanging witty remarks with the old cyber devil, their IQ completely offline the whole time.

However, Katz's political skills (80+) and party politics (90+) stats are enough to allow him to complete this round of probing confrontation.

This old monster who possessed the body of the eighth technical priest of the Yellow Springs was at least a powerful figure at the Great Sage level.

This is an internal conflict within the Cult of Mechanics.

That box numbered 17 is indeed very valuable.

And Katz really didn't mind selling the stolen goods.

The only problem is that there's no basic trust between the seller and the buyer, so the transaction simply can't proceed.

They keep talking about Tyrant-class cruisers and Opalon-class battleships, but what's the difference between them and Liu Ji with ten thousand coins?

You offered me an Abyss Fury-class ship, saying you'd sell me the Blessed Lady ship as scrap, and I dared to haggle, since you can't afford it and I can't afford it either.

Anyone can brag.

Seeing that Kaz didn't reply for a long time, the other party didn't dwell on it.

"My offer is serious. Please consider it carefully. We will resume negotiations in 48 hours."

After he finished speaking, the academic spy from Huangquan No. 8 shuddered.

"Excuse me, am I destined to die?"

Ok?

Ah!

Oh.

In other words, Astartes' superhuman brain is so powerful that it can recall the topic that was accidentally interrupted without having to scroll up.
