"Sergeant, by the end of the year, the yield of our hybrid vegetables will definitely be about twice as high as other farmland."

Standing behind Gabriel, a Blood Ravens put a rake on his left shoulder and said proudly while looking at the entire farmland.

"Yeah." Gabriel also nodded with a smile on his face and said:

"I hope our research results in the past two years will live up to our expectations."

Ordinary Astartess, even when they have no combat missions, will train, simulate training, and simulate confrontations with their comrades all the time, etc.

Anyway, they are always training to improve their own fighting skills and qualities.

Look at Gabriel and his Blood Ravenss...

Apart from studying technology, agriculture and knowledge, there is almost no discussion of combat matters.

Gabriel walked through the fields full of crops, chatting with Blood Ravens who were farming from time to time. Finally, the veteran sergeant walked out of the field.

When we came to the farmhouse next to their field, we looked at Harvest City not far away.

Looking around at the quiet and peaceful scene around me, I couldn't help but sigh to myself:

"I really hope I can stay here forever. Although I have only been to a few colonies, this is definitely the most beautiful world."

Gabriel, like other Astartes, has a thick voice, and words like this came out of his mouth...

If Astartes from other colonies heard it, it would inevitably lead to some ridicule and jokes.

Finished sighing.

Gabriel also walked into the farm warehouse, preparing to pack up the goods inside and the mountains of bagged seeds.

Just then.

On the dirt road in the fields, a Warthog was driving quickly towards the farmland where the Blood Ravenss were.

Finally, the car Warthog came to the main entrance of the farmhouse where Gabriel was located and stopped.

?

Seeing this situation, all the Blood Ravenss put down their farm tools and gathered towards the farm barn one after another.

Gabriel, who was in the farm barn, could also hear that something was going on outside. He gently placed the bags of seeds on his shoulders on the ground and walked out of the farm barn to the open space in front of the farm barn.

I just saw a Marine Corps officer wearing a black military uniform with the rank of sergeant leave the co-pilot position, quickly came to Gabriel and saluted:

"Sergeant, Captain Macha has detected some abnormalities. All combat units deployed on the surface need to be summoned and return to 'The Observer' immediately."

Astartes's military rank system is different from that of regular troops.

The most important thing is that Astartes generally do not have military ranks. Those who have military ranks are rare, the elite among the elite.

For example, the military rank of Gabriel is sergeant, which is equivalent to captain or major in the regular army.

And the Observer is the Paris-class Frigate that has been parked at the orbital hub station.

Among Ground Combat Troops to which the Observer belongs, the person with the highest military rank is Gabriel, so Gabriel can also be regarded as the highest ground force commander of Bountiful Star.

"Okay, I understand. We will go to Orbital Elevator in the city center later and return to the Observer immediately."

After hearing the sergeant's report, Gabriel's expression became much more serious, and he responded in a deep voice.

"Yes." After reporting the situation, the sergeant returned to Warthog.

Then, another Marine Corps driver drove the Warthog away from the Blood Ravens's farm.

Blood Ravens, who was talking to Gabriel before, looked at Warthog who was leaving, frowned slightly and said:

"Sergeant, is there something abnormal happening with Bountiful Star?"

"Maybe." Gabriel said without denying:

"After all, Bountiful Star has enjoyed peace and quiet for more than ten years. It would be strange if there were no abnormal phenomena."

With that said, Gabriel walked towards the dormitory building not far away, and said to all Blood Ravens:

"Okay, now is not the time for small talk. Let's put on our combat equipment and head to Orbital Elevator in the city center."

"Yes, Sergeant."

Next.

A group of muscular 'farmers' followed Gabriel back to their dormitory building.

After changing into combat uniforms, they changed into Ceramite Armor while helping each other, and took out their respective Boltgun, Heavy Bolter and Plasma Cannon.

Subsequently, thirty Blood Ravens drove two exclusive large trucks towards the city center of Harvest City.

Come to the city.

Pedestrians and drivers passing by looked at the two trucks with doubts.

The citizens of Harvest City are no strangers to the Astartes who work in the suburbs of the city. What is strange to the citizens is that this group of Astartes actually put on combat equipment.

So they all showed confused faces, guessing whether something serious had happened to Bountiful Star, who had been calm for more than ten years.

Soon.

Two trucks came under Orbital Elevator.

If you look at Orbital Elevator from a distance on the outskirts of the city, or from high altitude, you will think that Orbital Elevator is thin and long, and looks like it will break when the wind blows.

But when I came under the elevator and looked up, I felt that the lifting track of the elevator was very thick, with a diameter of about 500 meters.

In addition, there are many large glass windows on the outer wall of the track, which allow the outside world to see the inside of the lifting track, and also allow people taking the elevator to see the outside world.

Below Orbital Elevator is a station similar to a transportation hub, stationed by local security and two platoons of ship-affiliated Marine Corps personnel.

When Blood Ravens arrived at the entrance of the elevator dedicated to transporting goods, a large number of military vehicles also arrived here, and what got off were heavily armed Marine Corps officers and Helljumpers.

Including Blood Ravens, the number of people is about four hundred.

Afterwards, more than 400 people gathered together and walked towards the freight elevator.

And many Marine Corps and Helljumpers are still laughing and joking, saying that it is not easy to have the opportunity to gain military exploits in Bountiful Star.

Everyone is full of confidence in their comrades, troops and equipment, and with the assistance of thirty Astartes, they are indeed capable of dealing with most abnormal phenomena.

Immediately afterwards.

These more than 400 people, Combat Troops, who belonged to the Observer, took the freight elevator with a carrying capacity of 440 tons and headed towards the hub station at the end of Orbital Elevator.

Inside the elevator.

Since it is a freight elevator, there are no seats at all and it looks very empty.

However, using the technology of Reaper Civilization, the elevator moves very fast during its ascent, but still makes everyone in the elevator feel like they are walking on flat ground.

Equipped with giant glass windows, it also allows everyone to notice that they are indeed flying away from the surface of the earth.

Soon after.

The combatants deployed on the surface all came to the hub station in low-Earth orbit and used the connecting channel to enter the Observer ship.

Inside the bridge.

Standing next to Central Control Console are Gabriel, lieutenant Marine Corps who commands three companies, and second lieutenant who commands Helljumpers, as well as Captain Macha, who was mentioned by the sergeant before.

The female captain, with a resolute face and a cool demeanor, said in a deep voice to everyone present:

"Everyone, we seemed to have discovered a giant ship with non-human technology not long ago."
