The Shuttlecraft quickly broke through the planetary atmosphere and further descended towards the direction of Vigil Keep.
The results of the directional scan of Vigil Keep on the Vengeful Spirit earlier showed that no one had entered except for a few Redeemed Angels who stayed behind. The retreating Imperial Allied Forces had always maintained a restrained attitude due to the existence of the Vengeful Spirit. Even though the storm had dissipated for a while, they had not launched an attack.
After landing, Zhang Ge quickly returned to the deepest position and came to the front of the Singularity Engine.
According to the agreement, he would come back to take away the core of this instrument. Although in Zhang Ge's mind, setting aside the facts, the Singularity Engine was indeed mainly responsible, he would not regret it since it was a pre-arranged matter.
Of course, it was called the "core," but that was in relation to disassembling the entire device. After calling in slave labor to complete the initial disassembly work, Zhang Ge found that, from an intuitive point of view, this small core compared to the instrument was actually equivalent to a three-story building, and could not be moved at all by personal strength...
The breeze produced by the movement of the giant object brushed his face.
Zhang Ge saw Perveti pick up the core with one hand, seemingly trying to test the weight of this large iron toy.
"Put it down."
"Oh..."
Perveti carefully put the core back in place and obediently returned to Zhang Ge's side again, as if she was a scolded child with a bit of grievance.
Taking ten thousand steps back, even if it could be moved, the exit was so small, and a new hole had to be opened to transport this thing out, which would cost a lot of...
A burst of blasting sounds came from near and far. Before long, a circular crack that looked extremely regular to the naked eye appeared diagonally above.
After the short and squat cylindrical Ceramite block that had been blasted out fell to the ground with a muffled sound, the countless fine sands that would frantically pour into the secret room in the imagination did not appear.
What came into view was a diagonal cylindrical tunnel that was just enough for the core to pass through.
It led directly to the surface, and other than the excess fine sand that had been adsorbed by the magnetic suction mechanism, the edges were even accurately created with a layer of crystalline wall for anti-collapse by means of explosive high temperature, refracting colorful light in the shooting sunlight.
At the other end of that passage was Endymion, with the figures of one or two Servitors occasionally walking behind him.
Okay, no wonder he asked several questions before, from the size of the Singularity Engine to the core ratio, etc. It turned out that he was waiting for him here.
So you guys with yellow paint are good at civil engineering, right?
Looking at Endymion's serious face with a "small" safety helmet on top above, Zhang Ge couldn't hold back a bit.
In this situation, with that expectant scorching gaze cast from beside him, Zhang Ge opened his mouth, but in the end, he didn't say anything, just waved his hand and let her go.
The next moment, Perveti appeared next to the core.
No matter how many times he had seen it, he would still be surprised by this speed.
Even at the time of the Obelisk, when Amilia broke out with all her strength that one time, at least Zhang Ge's eyes could still capture a stream of light. But Perveti, the short-distance movement under this distance could not see her movement trajectory at all, so fast that it was like a blink. At the same time, even under this high-speed movement, the four-meter figure would not make any obvious noise.
It could only be said that it was indeed exaggerated. It was estimated that ordinary Space Marines could barely capture the traces.
However, then, in full view, even more exaggerated things happened.
As Perveti placed both hands on the edge of the core, the eight wings began to wave slowly.
Inconsistent with the waving speed, a Hurricane began to roar and rage in the secret room, and countless scattered objects were suddenly blown away. Even people had to turn on the magnetic suction in order not to be taken up by the gale together.
That figure, which was disproportionate to the core, lifted the huge object the size of a three-story building, raised it, and flew steadily to the surface through the passage.
People were numb.
Zhang Ge thought that the wings were similar to decorations, and Perveti planned to walk to the surface by holding it. He didn't expect that they could really be used to fly?
No, can you consider aerodynamics?
Under the cooperation of the two, after the initial disassembly, the follow-up project, which originally did not know how long it would take, was now solved in a few minutes.
Everyone was happy, everyone was happy.
Except for Zhang Ge.
He still had a little expectation, what if he could delay until the Dark Angels couldn't hold back and came over? What if they got hot-blooded? Then would there be an opportunity to encounter some danger again?
The result is now...
Let's temporarily abandon those ideas.
Clean up the inventory, clean the room, eliminate traces.
After a set of procedures, the Redeemed Angels took off in the flying vehicles in Vigil Keep, hoisting the core, and headed for the Deadwood Sector first with the relevant identification information that Zhang Ge had given - of course, since their route had to avoid the camps of the Dark Angels, they had to make a big detour, and it was estimated that Zhang Ge and their arrival time would not be too far apart in the end.
After doing all this, Zhang Ge dialed Ostin's vox-caster communication.
He didn't know it until he looked, and he was quite embarrassed.
He hadn't paid much attention before because he was too busy. Now Zhang Ge realized that his vox-caster was almost blown up. From Ostin to the commanders of the various mortal elites he had brought here, if it hadn't been for the Vengeful Spirit hanging in the sky before, the search team should have scraped off three layers of topsoil.
After reporting that he was safe to them, the first batch of vanguard troops quickly arrived at the outer periphery of Vigil Keep.
Then it turned into a solemn three-way trial.
From left to right were Dark Angels, Imperial Fists, and White Scars.
They temporarily found a place that looked like a conference room and asked Zhang Ge and his retinue to accept questioning.
Under Zhang Ge's "truthful" account, the described matter had a small deviation from the facts.
In short, the "Oathbreakers Chapter" entered Vigil Keep ahead of time from the other side of the storm and captured it, destroying an unknown machine deep inside it. The storm also disappeared, and Zhang Ge and others were just going to scout alone and were accidentally caught up in it.
What? Why did the Vengeful Spirit come and why did it leave?
I don't know, that ship is not under my control, how do I know what they are thinking.
Dark Angels, Imperial Fists, White Scars: suspicious.jpg
To be honest, for them, Zhang Ge's lying skills were poor. These Space Marines, who had undergone a lot of related training, could easily see that he was lying.
But the problem was that Amilia also had this statement, and even the Chapter Master of the Oathbreakers, who had a little sacred flavor - to be frank, it looked so new that it seemed to have been just glued on not long ago - also had this statement.
Then the situation was completely different.
In some things, lying is not necessarily not wanting others to know, but others should not know... Presumably at least one of the three officers was very clear about this.
After the other two officers sternly rejected the Dark Angels' proposal to "try to execute that mortal officer," the questioning eventually ended after several twists and turns.
