When he said this, Rhodes was not generally sincere, and sounded a little aggrieved, as if he really regarded Chen Ye as a friend, but Chen Ye did not regard him as a friend.
Yao En originally wanted to remind Chen Ye not to believe anything a Chaos Space Marine said, but Chen Ye seemed to know better than him.
"They are talking nonsense, don't believe it." Chen Ye frowned and warned Yaoen, then turned to stare at Rhodes, "Don't pretend to be innocent, you are not a fuel-efficient lamp, you must have been thinking about what to do for a long time. Are you going to kill us?"
After hearing this, Rhodes was silent for a moment and shook his head very seriously: "I did want to kill you all before I came out, but now I don't want to."
Listening to the conversation between the two, others present felt that their breathing had become heavier. They didn't know whether it was because the filters in their lungs were no longer working or something.
The air in the Forge World still smells of iron even if it is filtered, but at this moment, the smell of gunpowder can be smelled.
The crisis that Chen Ye and Rhodes needed to face together has been resolved. Now the two of them are back to the state in the cell, that is, they also want to cooperate with each other, but they are also planning to kill each other after leaving the arena.
"Find a settlement." Chen Ye stood up slowly, walked to the open space next to the bonfire, and stared at Rhodes.
Yaoen stood up and walked to Chen Ye's side. His position was already very obvious.
The newly rescued prisoners saw Rhodes fighting the enemy in the arena. They didn't really want to kill Rhodes, but as Imperial people, they still had to make a choice between the enemy and ourselves.
"This has nothing to do with you!" Chen Ye shouted to the prisoners, signaling them to stay away and retreat as far away as possible.
Yaoen stared at Rhodes, the shoulder cannon was locked and ready to fire. He saw Rhodes' girlfriend-like alien... no, it was a demon. The demon also sensed that something was wrong in the atmosphere, and took a fighting stance with the bone knife in hand.
Rhodes didn't stand up. He was still sitting by the campfire. He just raised his hand to signal the devil not to interfere in this matter.
"Get up and fight." Chen Ye clenched his fists, "I won't kill those who don't resist."
"Don't be too anxious, young man." Rhodes laughed from under his helmet. He did not get up to prepare for battle, but was still sitting next to the campfire.
This young man made Chen Ye very dissatisfied: "I have served for eighty-four years."
"Ah?" Yao En was stunned for a moment.
Rhodes did not take off his helmet. No one knew what he looked like, but everyone thought that Yaoen and Chen Ye looked like the same age.
"Eighty-four years? Haha..." Rhodes suddenly raised his head and looked up at the starry sky, "How long ago did I leave my home star... It seems to be one hundred and twenty-nine years in the 30th millennium, or maybe one hundred. Forty years..."
Sorry, brothers, I still have something to do today.
So I stayed up late and wrote five chapters and posted them.
Chapter 182 An honorable death
"Being a traitor for ten thousand years? Well done." In Chen Ye's eyes, Rhodes was just a traitor who had lived for ten thousand years. He should not have lived for so long. Someone should have taken his life long ago.
Rhodes didn't care about Chen Ye's hostility. He looked up at the night sky in the forging world where not even a single star could be seen, as if he had returned to his beautiful home planet at this moment.
"I don't seem to be much older. It's like I'm the same age as you guys, including my mentality."
"I haven't participated in many wars. This time I came to the Forge World just to return a favor."
Rhodes was talking to himself, his voice was soft and long.
Chen Ye was not in the mood to listen to the nonsense of a traitor, let alone let him go just because the traitor said some soft words.
The very survival of a traitorous Imperial Ord Space Marine is a threat in itself, as they may kill thousands of people over their long lives, and those they kill pale in comparison to the damage they can cause.
"I want to die with dignity." Rhodes was mentally prepared for the current situation, and he did not expect that he would be let go.
Although they fought side by side in the arena, it was just about each getting what he needed, nothing more.
"Okay." Chen Ye nodded in agreement.
Rhodes nodded and looked at the demon behind him, talking to him in words that neither Chen Ye nor Yaoen could understand.
The demon showed great excitement. First he shook his head vigorously and then stood up and stared at Yao En and Chen Ye. He kept waving the bone knife and baring his fangs.
Yao En and Chen Ye thought that the demon would do something outrageous, so they immediately prepared for battle.
Chen Ye threw away the brass ax before leaving the arena, so he was now bare-handed, but he was confident that he could cooperate with Yao En to kill this weird and terrifying creature.
But Rhodes said a few more words, he appeased the devil and chanted a spell to make the devil disappear in front of everyone.
"How did you do it?" Yaoen was surprised to see the demon disappear. He felt that Rhodes used a special exorcism method. If he could learn this method...
"How I did it has nothing to do with you being a soulless person. Don't worry about it." Rhodes easily saw through Yao En's thoughts. He had never had a good impression of soulless people.
After finishing what he had to do, Rhodes stood up from the campfire and subconsciously reached for the bolt pistol. However, he suddenly remembered that the weapon had been confiscated after he was captured by the Oathbreaker.
With no other choice, Rhodes could only turn to Yao En for help: "Use your shoulder cannon and be quick."
Yaoen didn't respond, but his shoulder cannon had already begun to charge up.
Only a second passed before Rhodes was annihilated by the beam fired from the shoulder cannon.
At this time, Yaoen was in a calm mood. He believed that if Rhodes had the ability, he would definitely kill himself and Chen Ye without hesitation.
Only when they saw Rhodes dead did the captives feel that they had been truly rescued, because among the people who captured them there were people who looked similar to Rhodes. They were even worried that the Emperor Angel and the unknown warrior would interact with each other. Rod made some kind of deal and gave them away as part of the deal.
Yao En sent a signal to the celestial engine and waved to everyone: "It's time for us to leave here, come here."
Just like in the arena before, teleporters are launched down by celestial engines, creating barriers and teleporting over a wide area.
Those present were transported to a safe place along with the entire teleportation device.
……
Inside the fortress.
Gray is discussing with Vic and Sewing about attacking the foundry.
"I don't understand what's so important about the engine foundry. Most of the people there are dead, and the industrial equipment was probably destroyed by the enemy."
“I think there’s value in the foundry, but not as much as the value in other areas we’re attacking.”
Severin was using mild and euphemistic reasons to object to Gray's previous plan to attack the Engine Foundry, and he always glanced at Vic to see how he would react when he spoke.
Gray also knew that the reason for attacking the Engine Foundry was not sufficient, because he only negotiated with Sewyn because Yao En had requested to attack the Foundry before.
"You don't need to participate in offensive operations, but we will attack, and the army is ready." Gray did not try to persuade Sewin.
However, Sevin was a little panicked. He felt that it was better not to leave a bad impression on the marshal of the Tyrone army in front of him, so after thinking again and again, he came up with a more compromise plan: "Let's do this, I let..."
Gray suddenly raised his hand to interrupt: "I'll answer the call."
Sewyn nodded and waited silently.
While Gray was communicating, Sewyn turned to look at his old friend Vic, and then found that Vic rolled his eyes at him with his only remaining biological eye, obviously dissatisfied with the decision not to attack the foundry.
Sewyn was also helpless. He knew why Vic was so ardent to the Tyrone people because he believed that the mortal incarnation of the God of All Machines, Ohm Messiah, was in the Tyrone galaxy. In addition, the forge world of Agrippina had never offered to Tyrone. Asking for help and getting it... It doesn't look good to refuse their request.
But Sewyn just didn't understand the significance of attacking the Engine Foundry. If there was a cyclone torpedo buried there or a Praetorian Guard was trapped, he would not hesitate to send all the Skitarii there.
"The plan to attack the foundry can be cancelled." Gray said suddenly.
Sevin was even more confused. He didn't know why the plan was canceled again.
The communication just now was from Yao En. Gray contacted him and learned that the two senior leaders of the Oathbreakers were killed and there was no need to attack the foundry immediately. As for the reason... Yao En was originally He's very talkative, but he's not stupid, and he must have good reasons for doing things.
"Wise decision. We really don't need to rush to attack the foundry, because we will win this war." Sewing said.
Gray nodded in agreement.
Sevin began to make calculations and speculated on the time of victory: "We will win in about three months, but it is impossible for us to eliminate all enemies in the war. The forging world is very big, and they have plenty of places to fight guerrilla warfare..."
"We have plenty of time anyway," Gray said.
The Forge World and Vic are both safe. The purpose of this trip has been achieved. It doesn't matter even if the enemy can struggle in the Forge World for decades. They can't kill Vic and occupy the Forge World anyway.
The next task is very simple, which is to continue to defend the Agrippina galaxy where the forge world is located, and then wait for Talon to establish a communication channel with the Celestial Engine to report all the current situations.
"When the communication channel is established..." Gray looked at Vic, who had been silent, "You should be able to get in touch with the Tyrone Galaxy."
"This is wonderful." Vic was very excited. "Praise be to Om Messiah."
Chapter 183 Superlight Communication
……
Tyrone Galaxy.
Planet No. 1, the hive world.
Qin Mo still stayed in the fortress he had built with his own hands, and was still doing research in the underground cave.
In front of Qin Mo was a piece of equipment used for surveying. The equipment displayed images from another dimension and was also recording and storing astronomical amounts of information.
Qin Mo multitasked, staring at the screen while making a device with a microphone with both hands.
Not long after, Caul suddenly squeezed into the door and reported something: "There are a total of twenty people in the Lamenters Chapter who are unable to upgrade to Primaris. According to my prophecy, they will die in the near future."
After speaking, Caul's body instantly shrank and changed, turning into a bolter floating in the air. It was obvious that he was not Caul but a mimic.
"Don't turn into Caul or other more conspicuous people, let alone a weapon or tool." Qin Mo stared at the screen and said the rules he had made, "No one knows you are a Star God except me. What would other people think if they saw a talking bolter?"
Mimicry was a little helpless, and although he was reluctant, he still complied. His appearance changed from a bolter to a human male, and then to a human female with bright silver hair.
Both images were designed by Qin Mo for mimicry. The male shape is used to disguise himself as a governor's guard when going out, and the female shape is used to disguise himself as an ordinary person when not going out.
"Does this look require a collar?" Mimic asked.
Qin Mo turned his head and scanned the surrounding environment, and finally fixed his gaze on Mimic: "In an environment where you are doing business, what do you think?"
Mimic nodded and walked straight to Qin Mo to check the device screen with him.
"What is this?" Mimic asked.
"My dimension." Qin Mo stared at the vast space composed of countless lines on the screen, and then concentrated.
Several fluctuations appeared in the dimensional space. These fluctuations didn't seem like a big deal, but only Qin Mo knew that each fluctuation represented countless changes in time and space.
"A week ago I discovered that this dimension would be affected by me." Qin Mo said.
The power of the Star God contained in Qin Mo's body has been slowly recovering. Before, this dimensional space had always been in a state that was knowable and usable but could not be interfered with. But now it can be interfered with, but it is not so stable yet.
"What does this mean?" Mimicry was very confused and couldn't figure out what it meant to produce unstable fluctuations in dimensional space.
"What does it mean?" Qin Mo raised his hand and placed it on Mimic's neck, allowing her to observe the dimensions displayed on the screen more closely. "This means that it was born because of me, not after the Big Bang. Born as naturally as a star god.”
The reason for this conclusion is that Qin Mo thought that the Void Dragon could create dimensions. Other Star Gods and himself could do it, but they could not create infinite dimensional spaces like the Void Dragon.
What surprised Qin Mo was that Mimicry didn't know about this.
"It's amazing, something a star god like me can't do." Mimic applauded expressionlessly, "Then let me ask the caster, what's the use of slightly interfering with your dimension? The material universe is not in your dimension. .”
