94: Chapter 92 Death Assault Force and Armored Heavy Army

Xia Xingchen selected one hundred thousand people from Vanad Planet, and these one hundred thousand people would become the soldiers of the Death Assault Army and the Ironclad Heavy Army.

Saint Sabbat, meanwhile, continued to be left on Vanad Planet.

Xia Xingchen's return trip was to hand over the Servitor efficiency enhancement technology to Leovitos, and to organize the Ironclad Heavy Army and Death Assault Army on his own Lanshan Planet.

Xia Xingchen browsed the system chat channel and soon noticed a strange message:

"The Eternal Science Order has been recruiting troops; or rather, they are recruiting a group of people who can guarantee their safety."

"They seem to have made significant progress in researching a mysterious instrument of the Old Ones."

"Unfortunately, they discovered that this instrument requires a very dangerous method to be activated."

"As they are merely a group of powerless scientists, they have no choice but to send invitations to all other Transmigrator factions across the universe."

"They have also recruited a group of Space Marines who are loyal to neither the Empire nor Chaos."

"By providing certain technologies and logistics, they have exchanged these for the protection of this group of Space Marines."

Xia Xingchen did not take this matter to heart.

Immediately afterward, a communication request appeared in Xia Xingchen's private friend message bar.

Xia Xingchen opened the system's communication friend list and discovered that a Transmigrator named "Sage" was requesting to communicate with him.

After Xia Xingchen accepted, he immediately asked:

"How did you add me as a friend?"

Since it is basically difficult to distinguish who is who from the messages sent by everyone in the group without prefixes,

therefore, being able to add an unknown friend can only mean one thing: someone leaked Xia Xingchen's information.

The only person who had added Xia Xingchen as a friend was Chen Yuan, and Xia Xingchen had already guessed that it must have been Chen Yuan who sold this information to this Transmigrator named Sage.

"Are you very eager for Astartes Monks?"

"What do you mean?"

Xia Xingchen felt strange; why did he suddenly bring up Astartes Monks?

"I will only ask one thing: do you need Astartes Monks, and are you willing to pay a huge price to achieve this goal?"

Xia Xingchen fell silent. In reality, he was very eager to have an Astartes Chapter serve him.

Only two factions possessed Astartes: the Empire and Chaos.

Xia Xingchen found it truly hard to imagine where Sage could possibly obtain other Astartes Legions.

"What is your method?"

"Don't think too much; I have my own ways."

Xia Xingchen was silent for a moment, then asked skeptically:

"So what do you need?"

Soon, Sage sent a message with a request:

"Our experiment is extremely dangerous. I need you to ensure our safety. In return, we will share our technology and help you obtain Astartes warriors."

Xia Xingchen felt that this deal seemed good after hearing it. After thinking for a while, he agreed to Sage's request:

"Fine, I agree."

After Xia Xingchen sent this message, he immediately asked again:

"Time and location?"

The other party, however, was being coy:

"Just wait for my notification."

Xia Xingchen watched as Sage finished sending this message and then ceased all communication.

Seeing this, Xia Xingchen muttered:

"Damn, so many people like to speak halfway and just leave people guessing riddles."

Xia Xingchen did not dwell on it too much, because Ma Pingliang had sent him an even more urgent message.

An unknown alien civilization had been discovered in the due south direction of the Daxia Star System, and this civilization seemed to have a trend of gradually expanding outward.

Seeing this news, Xia Xingchen was completely overwhelmed. "How come aliens are spawning on my border again?"

"I recall my faction isn't exactly that powerful, right?"

Xia Xingchen looked at the latest news; the general situation was that the outposts originally planned and built in the peripheral areas of the Daxia Star System had been attacked by the unknown alien civilization.

One of the outposts had been destroyed under the alien attack.

However, they had also successfully destroyed several of the enemy's warships. Through research on these warship wrecks and the alien corpses, they soon discovered:

These aliens were humanoid Tyranids.

Through dissection, it was discovered that these aliens had great similarities to the original native aliens of Lanshan Planet.

Leovitos and Wang Ke suspected that this group of aliens was the native alien species of Lanshan Planet that had been routed by the Empire, only they had eventually escaped to other star systems, such as some pocket galaxy or remote area, and slowly developed.

After analyzing the information, Xia Xingchen judged that this group of aliens had only barely detected the location of the Daxia Star System.

The research also found that they had not mastered any Warp technology; in other words, their warships were still relying on conventional navigation.

Therefore, there was actually no need to worry too much. By the time their vanguard arrived, transmitted the message back, and finally organized a fleet, it would be impossible for them to launch an attack on Xia Xingchen for at least three to five hundred years.

Considering various aspects, all Xia Xingchen could do was instruct Ma Pingliang to strengthen the control and surveillance of the unknown entity.

Xia Xingchen's dream star returned to Lanshan Planet.

Upon returning to the Governors Palace, Xia Xingchen went to see those mysterious aliens with Ma Pingliang immediately.

Xia Xingchen walked into the laboratory and discovered that those aliens had humanoid frames but the appearance of Tyranids.

The alien corpses had already been dismembered by Leovitos and Wang Ke; all tissues had been taken apart, which was a ghastly sight.

Xia Xingchen looked closely and soon discovered something wrong. It was so familiar; it seemed as if he had seen it somewhere before. Xia Xingchen racked his brain, and instantly remembered.

This group of aliens was the very same ones that Father Qu had mentioned were carved on the church gate when he took Xia Xingchen to visit the church for the first time.

"Do you think they pose a great threat to us?"

Leovitos and Wang Ke answered Xia Xingchen based on the existing data:

"I cannot judge, but I can tell you, Archon, our weapons are fully capable of destroying their physical forms."

After Leovitos finished speaking, Wang Ke also reported the results through the analysis of the enemy warship wrecks:

"There are no Warp engines on the wrecks, but it is impossible to determine if they have other hyperspace transmission technologies. We are currently studying the remaining wrecks."

Xia Xingchen breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this; he simply did not believe they would have other transmission technologies.

After all, apart from the Necrons and Tyranids, and maybe including the Eldar, all remaining civilizations basically had to rely on the Warp for transportation.

Since that was the case, there was no need to worry; he should first deal with the matter of the Troy Expedition.

At this moment, Xia Xingchen suddenly thought of one thing.

"That's right, why didn't Katrus come this year?"
