The night is deep, the moon is hazy, and the stars are shining faintly on the vast sky. They are interspersed with the firelight of the same stars on the ground of Canopy Star.

However, what is different from the stars in the sky that have existed for countless billions of years since ancient times is that at this time, the stars on the ground of Huagai Star were formed by fierce wars, and they are more numerous.

It represents death and destruction.

Therefore, it has no sense of beauty, at least to the Huagai people.

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

At this time, Sejanus, the commander of the fourth company of the Luna Wolves, and the elites he led had been ambushing the largest material and logistics camp of our own army for more than two hours.

They were like a group of cheetahs, carefully sleeping in the circle of the camp and quietly waiting for the prey to appear. However... I don't know why, judging from the time, the prey that should have appeared has not arrived.

This can't help but make them feel doubts and anxiety.

Because they couldn't figure it out. Judging from the appearance and direction of the Huagai Star sneak attack infiltrator they discovered before, the opponent's target must be here. But now, it's late at night, and they have waited for half a day in vain.

It's night, but the other party still has no intention of showing up?

"Fourth company commander!"

"what happened?"

"It's been so long, it's time for the other party to arrive, right?"

After waiting for a long time, finally, a centurion from the Luna Wolves couldn't help but asked Sejanus who was sitting next to him.

At this time, his face was full of impatience.

Because they came here to set up an ambush and have been waiting for a long time. If they continue to wait like this, then everyone will not do anything tonight.

"..."

Hearing this, Sejanus, who had been sleeping motionless and waiting patiently, had to open his eyes and turned his head to look at the centurion, with a trace of helplessness and hesitation flashing in his eyes.

"Is the information wrong?"

Then he thought about it, and then he had to ask the officer on the other side.

"have no idea……"

"Judging by the time, this should have come!"

Regarding this, the officer also looked puzzled.

"Could it be..."

"They discovered the trap and are lurking around now. Do they want to wait until the middle of the night and wait until we relax our vigilance before taking action?"

Then, the officer began to make random guesses.

"Maybe……"

"What do you think?"

Sejanus was noncommittal and just looked at the psyker officer beside him, wanting to know if the other party had discovered anything.

"Feel sorry……"

However, the psyker officer just shook his head expressionlessly.

"Captain Sejanus, as far as I know, the ghost agent of Canopy Star is also a kind of psyker."

"They usually obtain the ability of optical invisibility by using psychic energy to activate the nano-tight-fitting obedience, but until now, I and our other psychics have not sensed any fluctuations in psychic energy in the surroundings, so, I

I don’t think the other party is nearby.”

Then, the psyker officer said frankly, directly rejecting the speculation of the ordinary Astartes officer just now.

"..."

Hearing what his own psychic said, Sejanus frowned even more tightly, and his mood gradually became depressed.

"That is to say!"

"Maybe they changed their targets?"

"Or is it a deliberate misdirection to let us wait here while they attack elsewhere?"

"Or are they just here for routine reconnaissance?"

After thinking for a while, Sejanus couldn't help but start making random guesses.

"maybe……"

The psyker officer nodded, agreeing with Sejanus's views.

"But as for the specifics, my subordinates don't dare to talk nonsense..."

But soon he slumped his shoulders again, saying that he himself was not very clear. After all, what exactly the enemy was thinking could only be known after the enemy appeared and caught him. He would not randomly provide their commander with wrong or inappropriate information.

Reliable opinion.

"..."

At this time, Sejanus was completely speechless and felt a little at a loss for a moment.

"Hello!"

"Could we have been discovered?"

"Then the other party quits when it's difficult?"

"It's possible!"

"Those guys are very cunning. They have been infiltrating them recently. This is not the first time we have fought against them. It is normal to be discovered. Those ghosts are not easy to deal with."

"yes!"

"Last time, a dozen ghosts from the other side harassed our rear, but they caused a lot of damage and chaos."

"That……"

"In other words, if they don't come this time, can we withdraw?"

"It's hard to say!"

"What if those cunning rats think the same as us and wait for us to withdraw?"

"But……"

"Then we can't stay here forever, right?"

"how do you want to do it?"

"Go out and look for it?"

"Where to find it?"

"They will be invisible. Normal equipment can only be detected by close-range scanning. Some psykers can sense each other from a long distance. But once they leave here, once they are no longer deployed here, if they are accidentally infiltrated by the other party, it will be terrible.

That’s terrible!”

"this……"

"Is it possible that they really changed the target of the attack? Deliberately letting us wait here while they launched the attack elsewhere?"

"have no idea……"

"Anyway, everything that should be arranged has been arranged. If they really change places to attack, then there is nothing we can do."

Seeing that the fourth company commander Sejanus was deep in thought and stopped talking, the officers who had been waiting impatiently naturally began to talk one after another.

But discussions remain discussions. Preparing for enemy sneak attacks is inherently passive, so they couldn't come up with any good ideas for a while.

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

Then, after the discussion was over and everyone had no other options, because the expected enemy did not appear, and because Captain Sejanus did not speak, they could only continue to wait in the ambush circle like a group of fools.

With.

finally!

boom--!

Just when everyone was waiting impatiently, and even some officers of the mortal auxiliary army began to doze off, bursts of loud roaring sounds and firelights suddenly came from the distant sky, making everyone feel refreshed.

, and then quickly looked in the direction of the sound and fire.
To be continued...
