Chapter 611: Who does Dragon Spear fight for?
Driving this kind of special ship, agents don't have to worry about being caught even if they are sailing in enemy-occupied space.
On the one hand, it is fast and flexible. It is not easy to dispatch ships to catch it.
On the other hand, and the most important thing, it is only a few dozen meters in length. With anti-reconnaissance equipment, it really comes and goes without a trace.
Anti-reconnaissance equipment placed on normal ships generally has no special effect. They are too big. When they move, they are fine during normal navigation. When traveling through the stars, as long as the observation tower is not too bad and the astropath's level is not too high, the anti-reconnaissance equipment can play a good role. It's more limited. At most, the observation results are delayed and there are some deviations in judging the specific location.
But on an agent-type boat, that almost literally makes it invisible.
As long as you don't drive this ship into the face of an enemy ship, nothing will happen.
Even if you are traveling through the astral tunnel, the opponent will have checkpoints and even star forts at the transition point. However, the transition point is just a "point", but in fact, it is as big as seven or eight, as many as a dozen or even dozens of stars stacked together.
It is impossible for checkpoints and starforts to lock all locations.
If a large ship comes, it will definitely be detected; but if an eighty-meter small ship with anti-reconnaissance equipment is several stars away, it is really difficult to catch it.
Of course, things are not absolute.
Several of Amanda's colleagues were discovered while traveling.
Even if they are discovered, they will not necessarily be caught. Although the flexible, compact and fast spy ship is vulnerable, as long as they can run farther, open some distance, and re-activate the anti-reconnaissance equipment, they can often get rid of the lock. , escape from death.
Only a few dozen unlucky ones actually died on the spot; not a single one was captured.
And she, although there were some thrills along the way, she finally arrived at the Western Front battlefield unharmed.
Agent ships can quietly sneak into some planets that are not sufficiently defended. After all, most planets do not have a surveillance system covering the entire orbital airspace. Secretly drive the ship, use the stealth function to enter the atmosphere at a relatively slow speed, find an uninhabited surface to stop the ship, and once the color-mimetic system is turned on, use local materials to cover the ship, and it will probably work.
There was not just Amanda on the ship, but a total of five agents, each with different expertise. Even the departments they came from were different, and Amanda didn't know any of them.
But it doesn't hinder them. They are now grasshoppers on the same rope, sharing weal and woe. And she herself is the captain of this operation.
Five agents took action. They used sophisticated astrological equipment to eavesdrop on astrological communications; they stayed and observed in various key areas of the planet; they tried to integrate into the local society and collect intelligence...
After completing intelligence gathering on a planet, they would retrieve the hidden ship, leave the planet, and head to the next destination.
Usually this process doesn't take long. In most worlds, there is actually no particularly great intelligence value. It is nothing more than observing the local situation, evaluating it, and then compiling it into a volume and sending it back to the nest.
Along the way, Amanda's original goal was to go to the Maigret Universe. Once there, first-hand intelligence can be collected. Otherwise, the Alliance would have to rely solely on the Empire to obtain information about Maigret. Not to mention whether the information given by others is accurate, but the timeliness is also something the alliance is not satisfied with.
It is better to use your own agents to collect intelligence in a targeted manner according to your own needs.
However, on their way there, they passed by a planet where the Dragon King's Spear was temporarily stationed. Amanda became somewhat interested in this chapter. She took the initiative to integrate into the local society and forged an identity. Then she used this false identity to serve as a servant of the chapter and a mortal advisor when the Spear of the Dragon King was recruiting people in the home world. Identity, got in.
The risks of her actions are high, but she is not afraid. Her other four comrades had already left on the spaceship, leaving only herself. Even if she failed, she would not expose others.
Becoming a servant of a Space Marine Chapter is a very dangerous thing. Even if you remove some Chapters that do not treat mortals as human beings, most Chapters are actually quite indifferent to mortals. If you want to be in the Chapter, It's not easy to do something. But unfortunately, the Spear of the Dragon King is not like this. The bloodline inherited from the Dragon Legion makes them, like their parent group, one of the few groups that respects mortals very much, which gives Amanda a chance.
Her fake identity is actually quite easy to expose, but after careful analysis, it actually doesn't matter. As long as she successfully blends into the battle group, she will leave the planet soon, and it doesn't make much sense for the locals to expose her.
Of course, she might not be able to successfully sneak into the battle group. But all in all, she has advantages over most candidates on her home planet. She is an elite agent trained by the alliance. She once participated in subverting the government of a planet and achieved remarkable results.
It's not that she is too arrogant, but she just wants to ask: How many elites like her can be found in such an ordinary civilized world in the electrical age?
She is a rare talent in the entire league!
The fact is that she was selected as expected, and with her sufficient knowledge, she had worked for the Imperial Chamber of Commerce, traveled between many worlds, had a wide range of knowledge, and at the same time had profound insights, she successfully caused a stir within the battle group. With the attention of the company commander, he got rid of his status as a mortal servant of the ordinary battle group. As an advisor, he was often summoned by the senior leaders of the Dragon King's Spear.
At the beginning, we mainly consulted some local customs and customs of the local area and the surrounding world. Amanda also responded fluently to these questions - the intelligence collected on various planets along the way played a very reliable role at this time.
Later, her deep understanding of the current situation, especially her knowledge of the alliance, made her stand out even more. The Space Marines were surprised to find that, in addition to providing some intelligence, this consultant lady was often able to give very valuable insights into the current situation and issues that confused the Space Marines.
They started asking Amanda for advice on more things. Not completely obedient, but at least listening to it may inspire some more ideas.
It was also during this process that Amanda gained a fairly in-depth understanding of the Dragon King's Spear.
She figured out the ins and outs of their involvement in this war;
I also learned about the history of the Chapter and the culture of the Chapter. These two points are very important, which means that Amanda can understand the way of thinking of the Dragon King's Spears.
Therefore, Amanda can understand the dilemma they are facing and the struggle in their hearts.
Dragon King's Spear actually didn't want to participate in this war at all. From the very beginning, they just wanted to break up the fight, help Iron Armor, and 'reason' with the empire. They never thought about fighting each other on the battlefield of mutual extermination. Many imperial forces encircled and suppressed were engaged in a life-and-death contest.
At the same time, Tiejai completely concealed the fact that they were using the insect swarm from them. In fact, even since the emergence of insect pests and corruption in various places, the mentality of Dragon King's Spear has changed.
First: ‘There cannot be widespread insect infestation, there must be rumors slandering us’.
Then: 'It seems true, but it can't be Iron Armor's fault. The threat from the Zerg has become greater, so please stop fighting.'
Recently: ‘It’s possible that Iron Armor did it, but it shouldn’t be... what should we do? ’
The above is the change in their mentality.
Amanda took a chance.
In fact, Dragon King's Spear took the initiative to go south without orders, and Amanda's instigation was indispensable.
And along the way, they had seen too many tragic scenes of insect infestation, and saw that the main force of the iron armor was still missing, and their wavering became more violent. Until now, Amanda felt the time was right.
……
Walking in the passage in front of the ship's throne, Amanda's mind was constantly evaluating what she would say later.
Before you knew it, you were in front of the heavy door.
The Space Marine who led him along stopped, turned around, and asked hesitantly: "Amanda, have you really thought about it? After taking this step, there is no turning back. I'm not sure what the Chapter Master would do, he might just kill you."
The person who warned Amanda was Ricardo Lazio, the commander of the fourth company of the Dragon King's Spear.
Amanda had already revealed her identity to the company commander.
This was her carefully chosen target. Ricardo was the most shaken among the senior leaders of the group. He was opposed to following Iron Armor and going against the empire from the very beginning. At the same time, he was probably the most soft-hearted among the generally soft-hearted Dragon King's Spear.
She was sure that there was an 80% chance that he would not betray her and would actively help her. The premise is that she doesn't do anything to harm the Dragon King's Spear, or she does it, but don't let it know.
The truth was just as Amanda expected.
Ricardo did not report her, and he was full of interest in getting in touch with the Alliance so that Dragon King Spear could have a chance to correct the chaos.
In his mind, this was saving the entire chapter. If you follow the iron armor path to the dark side, the final result will inevitably be self-destruction.
Therefore, he is willing to help Amanda spread such ideas throughout the war group.
It worked very well and they won some people over. These people who accepted their ideas also instilled such ideas in others from time to time, even in front of Tai Shichen, the leader of the Dragon King's Spear Chapter.
This is one of the reasons why Amanda decided to reveal her trump card at this time.
There is already a lot of foreshadowing ahead.
Amanda looked up at Ricardo's sad face and showed a firm smile: "Of course, I know very well what I am doing."
"Oh... then I wish you good luck."
After saying that, Ricardo turned around and pushed the door open.
Amanda nodded slightly, then walked inward with her head held high.
The leader of the ‘Dragon Spear’, Tai Shichen, was sitting at his exclusive desk. Hearing the sound of the door opening, he raised his head, saw it was Amanda, and smiled: "Our know-it-all consultant is here, and dear Ricardo, hello."
His attitude was mild.
"Hello, Captain Taishi." Amanda bowed slightly to show respect.
"Is there something you want to tell me today?"
"Yes." Raising her head again, Amanda said, "I am here on behalf of the Imperial Marshal, the Commander-in-Chief of the Empire's Southern Front, and the Alliance Governor Gu Hang. I hope that the Dragon King's Spear Chapter will not continue to advance and protect the surrounding human world on the spot. The Dragon King's Spear Chapter will receive a fair trial later."
After hearing these words, no matter how gentle Tai Shichen's temper was, he couldn't keep the smile on his face.
He sighed: "Oh... Ms. Amanda, you are actually a spy of the Alliance. This really surprises me."
After saying that, he paused, looked at Ricardo Lazio, who was standing behind Amanda, looking like a bodyguard, and asked again: "How many of you are standing over there?"
< br>
He's certainly not a fool.
You can tell everything by looking at Ricardo's look.
Amanda is here to show off her cards, so she is naturally reliable.
Ricardo looked a little embarrassed and opened his mouth to speak, but Amanda raised her hand to stop him.
Amanda said: "Please don't get me wrong. This time is definitely not a forced uterus, and I have no ill intentions. If the chapter leader wants to treat me as a spy, I will have no problem with it. I will kill him if he is provoked."
Her words successfully attracted Tai Shichen's attention, and he said: "I will do this. Unfortunately, Ms. Amanda, you should not appear in front of me and reveal everything. Now, let me listen, What else do you want to say before you die?"
He said cruel words that could kill people, but in fact, he didn't move.
Taishichen didn't draw his gun directly and was killed on the spot. Amanda knew that she had actually won half the battle.
"It is true that I am a spy, but in these days, I have asked myself that I have not done anything to disgrace the Spear of the Dragon King. After getting along day and night, I understand very well who you are. You are by no means an enemy of the empire. He never betrayed humanity, nor did he betray the Emperor."
"On the contrary, in my eyes, every warrior of the Dragon King's Spear is unique. You are the guardians of mankind and even more friends; you are passionate, brave, and uphold justice."
"For this reason, the Dragon King's Spear should never be broken here."
"If the Spear of the Dragon King is going to perish one day, how do you want it to be recorded in history?"
"During the Great Iron Armor Rebellion, he betrayed the Emperor, became a traitor, aided the inhumane Humphrey Paul, spread the Hive disaster to countless human worlds, was an accomplice to the devouring of countless worlds, and degenerated to assist the devouring of the Zerg aliens. The despicable human being?”
"Or should we correct the chaos, make the right decision, join the alliance, and fight to save countless people who are about to die from the insect population, and finally atone for their sins?"
"These choices are all in your mind. Who is the dragon spear fighting for?"
