Chapter 337 A small interlude
Wandering Port, the largest and most reliable channel from the Calixis Sector to the Kronos Expansion, two notorious or well-known ports at both ends one.
At first, it was built as a standard Crocus-Mark IV naval military space station. The Imperial Navy commissioned the builders of the Adeptus Mechanicus and spent a total of eighteen years to tow it with a cargo ship. Prefabricated units built this naval staging dock in the Rubicon II system to investigate the growing number of missing ships in the Drususian borderlands.
But as the merchants and wanderers returning from outside the region bring more and more huge wealth and opportunities, coupled with the unreliable and continuous supply and maintenance in the sector, as well as within the Navy and the Ministry of Interior In the end, the core of the later expansion and maintenance services of Wandering Port revolved more around Rogue Traders and other dynamic transportation organizations or individuals traveling between Kronos Expansion and the Empire.
Now, through a series of centuries-long cycles of power struggles and cross-fire conflicts, the tower's massive Gothic spire, decorated with imperial eagles, stretches out in all directions. The port and the various ships connected to it are like some kind of floating hive in the sky. There are about five million people living in the station. It is currently controlled by the Imperial Navy in name, but in fact it is controlled by the Imperial Navy and the Legal Affairs Bureau. The Ministry, the Inquisition, the Ecclesiarchy (more than a hundred branches), the Adeptus Mechanicus, the Rogue Trader Dynasty, the Navigator Family, the Astropathic Cult, the Merchant Guild, the Ministry of the Interior, etc. all jointly intervened.
There are major ports in the east and west directions, as well as a dedicated shuttle port. The shipyard's dock accommodates ships ranging from small ships in the galaxy to large cargo ships and exploration ships. However, it is still not big enough for those of the Imperial Navy. Very large warships are powerless.
“Here, after all, is one of the farthest places under the jurisdiction of the empire. From the moment you leave the giant mouth, the 'outside' has its own set of rules, so in Wandering Port, as long as you have throne coins , you can buy everything, weapons, ammunition, aircraft fuel, promethium, food, water, various medicines, servants, etc."
The Glory Queen-class battleship like the Desert Ark is. It is impossible to sail in here arrogantly. After all, the Wandering Port is a former and current naval facility. It really has an Imperial Navy control deck and central fortress. There is also a huge military sensor array on the fort, which is responsible for scanning every ship entering the Wandering Port. Void ships within the port range and record their relevant information and arrival and departure times.
As for the Iron Blood, it is temporarily unable to leave Pearl Moon. It is currently parked over the polar regions and is conducting unstoppable calculations and analysis on certain surveying, mapping and exploration data, so in fact most of the manpower is left behind. In order to protect the Iron Blood and the main control biochemical computer on the Iron Blood, these key figures came to the Wandering Port, planning to have a hearty recreation... A game that, in Malcador's words, "fits the A roaming port style, abiding by the rules of the game, full of imperial secret service atmosphere, beautiful quick-action and quick-decision operations, people are more valuable than more talents."
Although they actually debated and discussed this until they decided to let Angron Petra sit on the Desert Ark and wait, while Kadu'er Malcador, Perturabo BC The process continues until Magna Dorn and the other three go to contact the agent responsible for operating the Wandering Port for them and find out what is going on.
Angron Petra was especially disturbed when he learned that he was the one left here to take charge of reception and communications.
“As you said, this is a way for us to get a large amount of various rich supplies as quickly as possible and, well, relatively no one will care where the goods and throne coins we use to trade come from. "But Malcador, are you sure you brought... I mean, forget about Magna, Perturabo...? Are you sure he won't be the last person to use that place?" Destroy half of it with saturation fire? "
"No problem," the old man in question replied calmly, "Because he wants to use hallucination camouflage to disguise himself as my smart Ogryn bodyguard. Naze planned to use illusion camouflage to pretend to be a Kroot mercenary with guaranteed certification. "What?" Angron's voice suddenly raised an octave, "Are you sure?" Is this a good idea? I don’t think so! Let me go!” Is it wise for a brother or part of the Iron-Blooded's intelligent system to open up the Glory Queen with a weapon that can blast us and this Void Port into the sky for several rounds? Don't forget that either of them has the ability to invade your ship's control system. Ability." When the former Imperial Regent said this, Ms. Lotharassalin, who had been silent, made a strange sound from her system panel. It sounded like she wanted to snort and mock, but she held back. ——This lady who devoted herself wholeheartedly to the Lord of Iron Heart and the Chapter was not unexpectedly severely injured in her spirit and soul during the last ceremony as a beacon to "fish" Angron and the others back to the Iron Blood. Until recently, Just enough to show up in the system from time to time.
"...Well, indeed, it seems that it is most suitable for me to serve as a stay-at-home support here. Ah, then I have one last question."
"What?" Bian Mu asked with a cold snort. "My illusion camouflage generator is foolproof! And I have loaded all the map information and other data of the roaming port. Based on them, more than ninety action plans and preliminary action plans have been generated. Let's make a quick decision. "
"Your body." The twelfth primarch pointed to the stagnant figure floating on the ultra-reliable anti-gravity single-person floating mobile device, wearing full armor and lying on his side. No one would think that he was an ordinary person or an ordinary Astartes. The body of the Fourth Primarch said, "How do you plan to carry him up there?"
"..."< br>
"Although you can tie him to your Dreadnought or backpack on both the Iron-Blooded and Desert Ark, everyone is used to it, and I think you are used to it too... However, according to the introduction you just introduced, Wandering Port is a place where There should be many places where you can't carry him through or move quickly like this, right? Even the void shield can't defend against attackers approaching from the ground."
"..."
In the end, this. The members of the small "Chaos Agent" operation team were reduced to two people: Kadu'er Malcador took Magna Dorn to the Wandering Port to meet with agents to solve the recent incident at their royal franchise store. A series of questions.
So no one noticed a small episode at this moment:
Mr. Lamizane Carosini unfortunately entered the shroud of the Fourth Primarch as soon as he returned here. Within the scope of the body's stasis position.
