The Valkyrie quickly transported everyone back to the Mechanized Infantry Regiment's garrison. In fact, it hadn't been long since they had left.
However, despite only a short period of time passing, Zhang Ge noticed that there seemed to be unusual guests at the landing pad.
It was a shuttle with the Adeptus Mechanicus insignia, and two Skitarii were guarding the aircraft.
Although he didn't see anyone coming out of the open belly of the aircraft as he passed it, it wasn't hard to guess that these people had already entered the garrison and were being assigned to other places.
The next soldier he encountered also proved this idea. After seeing Zhang Ge, he trotted over, stood at attention, saluted, and then said:
"Regiment Commander, someone from the Adeptus Mechanicus has arrived. The Deputy Regiment Commander asked me to wait here and guide you."
"Okay, let's go. By the way, what are the characteristics of those Adeptus Mechanicus people?"
"Uh, some have many mechanical arms, and some are very bright..."
That's no different from saying nothing. Aren't all Adeptus Mechanicus people like that?
"Oh, and one of them is very large, and seems to be of high status."
Very large, that's useful information. Generally speaking, Adeptus Mechanicus High Magos or Tech-Priests are very large, because they have undergone extensive modifications, so that their original bodies have almost completely become mechanical components, and the components are added together, eventually stacking up to the size of a tank is not uncommon.
During a similar chat, the guard led everyone to the convoy parked not far away. After getting in the car, the convoy further drove into the garrison, past the places where loud voices were spreading due to training, and finally stopped outside a not-so-small prefabricated house.
Here, Zhang Ge's guards were responsible for guarding. From this point of view, the Adeptus Mechanicus brought a lot of people, so much so that they made the scene so tense.
However, after entering it, Zhang Ge realized that it was more than just a lot.
A dense crowd of red-robed people挤 in on one side of the room, with very small gaps between each other, seeming to number in the hundreds... You must know that these are all priests. Generally speaking, the number of priests accompanying an Astra Militarum regiment of less than 10,000 people is only single digits. Where did so many people come from?
Among these priests, the most conspicuous was naturally the High Magos with six pairs of mechanical legs. His size was huge, appearing to be at least five or six meters tall, even larger than the Sisters of Battle's Paragon Warsuit.
Judging from his physical characteristics, he wasn't one of the two High Magos that Zhang Ge knew... Was he from the Deadwood Sector side?
He didn't think much else about it. Passing the few senior officers of the Mechanized Infantry Regiment on the other side, after responding to their salutes and greetings, Zhang Ge quickly approached the other party and took the initiative to ask:
"What brings you here?"
The High Magos didn't answer the question immediately. The few mechanical tentacles extending from his mouth seemed to be thinking, intertwining with each other. After a moment, the neutral electronic voice echoing from his skull began to resound:
"...Translation program initiated: Here for the Titan matter."
Translation program? What did he sound like before translating, 01001?
Silently complaining in his heart, Zhang Ge, not surprised that the Adeptus Mechanicus would send someone to talk about the Titan issue, thought for a while and continued to answer:
"What do you want? Just say it."
They just want to get back the Titan or something, what else could there b...
"Translation: In order to improve efficiency, a decision has been made. It is expected that the Warlord-class Titan and the Titan Guard belonging to the Titan formation will be temporarily placed under your command."
Huh?
No.
"What?"
"Translation: Is the expression not clear enough? The literal meaning of the above sentence."
No, is this a literal question?
Did the sun rise from the east today? Although it's only temporary, but, the Adeptus Mechanicus will actively give up the command of the Titan?
Buddy, why don't you just tell me what the conspiracy is? At worst, I'll cooperate, why do you have to hurt me like this?
The other party's words silenced Zhang Ge for a long time. It took him a while to barely come up with a reason:
"Doesn't the Titan Legion have any objections to this?"
"Translation: Most of the external communications of Vigilus have been blocked, and the Titan Legion cannot be contacted. At the same time, the former Titan Commander has sacrificed, and a new commander is needed. After analysis, choosing you is the most efficient option in the current situation."
Hearing these words, Zhang Ge, who had recovered from the initial confusion, quickly realized that something was wrong.
Is this a question of high or low efficiency? If the Adeptus Mechanicus really simply chose the most efficient option for everything, then where would there be so many broken things?
"As far as I know, the Adeptus Mechanicus usually doesn't do this, can we be more frank? I don't like secretive communication methods. If you continue like this, then I can only regretfully reject your request."
Seeing this situation, the High Magos was silent for a while, made a gesture of waiting to Zhang Ge, turned his head to the other priests. Although there was no sound, judging from the action, he should be conducting a discussion.
After a moment, he put his sight back on Zhang Ge, while uttering:
"Translation: We are here for a miracle. Although it is not known why the Omnissiah's Blessing is displayed in your regiment, we need to follow the miracle created by this God of Machines. For this, you can make some requests."
The so-called Titan matter originally refers to this, the miracle of Olivia resurrecting the Warhound Titan... That was indeed unsaid, even if Zhang Ge knew the inside story, from the scene, it was extremely shocking, let alone these Mechanicus priests.
However, it is still necessary to stop the loss in time:
"I see, it would have been better to say it earlier. Your Skitarii have fought side by side with me, and remote support has also reduced a lot of our losses. So, I won't make any more requests. I agree to your proposal."
"Translation: Agreed to the agreement, but, #Organization Name Blocked# The Skitarii suffered a major loss before, it will take three to five days to replenish to 20,000 people."
"Wait, what do you mean?"
"Translation: 'Fighting side by side' agreement, proposed by you. In addition, as an extra thank you, we will provide assistance to your political actions."
"?"
You kid knows how to understand, can't tell the difference between polite words, right? Then if I say I want Pharos VIII, would you also take it off for me?
A bit difficult to hold back, Zhang Ge decisively let several senior officers invite these people out to prevent himself from hearing any more shocking remarks.
He thought that coming out and getting a maid corps was already difficult to hold back, but he didn't expect the Adeptus Mechanicus to give him a little shock in a short minute of communication.
What about the stingy oil-brains, what about the extreme xenophobia? Save me?
