Warhammer: I am the Hammer of the Empire - #124 - Chapter 118 Blade of Freedom, Knight Titan

Skadi’s only regiment was much like a cultist than a cultist, and much like a bandit. After massacring half of the main city where they lived and worked in peace and contentment, the transport planes and soldiers left there with enough food to feed tens of thousands of people.

It only took 2 days for the Imperial Guard to use high mobility and strong firepower to stir up the peaceful world there like a burning flame. Previously, Alan Bair had been thinking about why the Imperial Guard would destroy the culture of that world. If you look at it clearly Come on, the nature of that world is pretty good.

Just like a Venus flytrap, can a self-sufficient civilization be produced behind the seemingly beautiful and plump green grass and earth? In the east of those weak forces, if a fleet lands due to the astonishing vastness of the void area due to the lack of civilized planets, .

Then what awaits them is not food and wine, but hunger. If a fleet of more than tens of thousands of people crosses that world, it will need two months of food. If it does not destroy that world’s civilization, it will not be able to produce a huge amount of food. .

From the beginning, there were two choices: slaughter and plunder, or be assimilated into that world.

That world is like a giant flytrap, swallowing up battleships that have no strength to leave. After landing, the sinister feeling is even more lingering.

Because the longer the ruins in that world stay and the greater the consumption, they can be disbanded and returned to their fields. Maybe the so-called Kingdom of Agatha did not appear naturally at all, but was formed by the Imperial Guard having to abandon its troops due to supply problems.

After the transport plane left the volcanic area filled with thick black clouds, Alan Bair asked to camp on the spot to pickle and ferment the fresh meat and vegetables to ensure their continued edibility. Is that a big project? The Imperial Guard soldiers spent a day It is required to consume at least 400 grams of meat, 200 grams of vegetables, 500 grams of starch and enough seasonings, water, etc.

If that data is x40,000 and then x45 days, is that an absolutely astronomical figure? Then why is it that the civilization of that world cannot afford it? With only a million people, extreme aggregation, loose beliefs and almost no technology, they The acid of the flytrap slowly corroded the travelers who landed to rest.

At dawn, hammerhead sharks are hanging with fresh pickled meat, helmets are stuffed with pickles, and soldiers are lying on the ground sleeping soundly, going to a night that is long overdue, with the salty smell of seasonings. taste.

Alan Bayer was lying in his sleeping bag, with the cold breeze blowing across his face, the soft grass, and the starry sky that was extremely dark due to the asteroid belt that covered its orbit. It was by no means beautiful, but the few that were there were terrifying. Void monsters roam in low-Earth orbit.

Then the patter of raindrops fell on Alan Bair’s cheeks, and fell down his hair. His brain short-circuited for a while before he remembered, so it turns out that rain can occur in the natural world?

Could it be that the smoke and water vapor from their bombardment crawled in the sky, or could the strange will of the world keep them in the east? Alan Bayer’s thoughts stagnated for a moment, and he shouted as the heavy rain fell in the east. “Fuck, put away the bacon quickly!”

Their legs were broken and their feet were in disarray. The soldiers knew that food was hard to come by. They braved the rain and even covered their bodies with meat, but they still ruined a lot. And they had no salt to re-salt it. It was like a deliberate joke in that world. Alan Bai Er rubbed his head.

“Stop sleeping, stop sleeping, go chop up the damn wood in that world, use lasers to light them on fire, it should be no problem if the power is enough, then cover them with metal and smoke the meat.”

Wisdom and will are the only way for them to leave that world. Human beings have been fighting against nature since ancient times. If pickling doesn’t work, smoke it. If smoking doesn’t work, dry it. Because the only group of Skadi must leave, even if they leave that world Destroyed.

But it is obviously too ironic that the largest military organization in the universe would use ridiculously primitive methods to arrange food tomorrow, because the great empire cannot help them, and they will act like robbers.

The dark will continues human existence, and even if it tramples on the bodies of its compatriots, it must move forward. At the end of the 40th millennium, when chaos gradually sprouts, and countless aliens, heretics, and evil breed, such things are still repeated in countless worlds in the galaxy. .

In the Red City, there was starvation everywhere, death, corpses, and people eating each other. The residents returned to their hometowns, and the refugees came out of the cellars. What they faced were completely dry wells and farmland with nothing left. They prayed to the royal family for food, but But no one responded.

Weakness, disease, death, violence, plunder, and killing were permeated in that city. The power of chaos expanded to the limit at this moment, but a population of only tens of thousands could definitely not shake the subspace, but those desperate emotions could not shake the subspace. The command is like a light, a beacon that reinforces the message that the Lord of Change has wronged the followers of mankind.

In the east room of the palace, the queen walked all the way east. Her pure red dress was dyed bright red by the strange liquid on the ground. The hem of her skirt could no longer float, but she headed east like a fanatic. The long corridor, The stairs seemed endless, and in the darkness there was the light of torches and her two loyal knights.

They walked for a long time, even the two knights were exhausted, but Queen Lilith was still energetic. She walked east on the pilgrim road where there was no water or grain of rice, but there was nothing at the end of the tunnel, as if the gods had given them a She made a joke.

The guard couldn’t help but say. “My Queen, that tunnel was originally dug as a tunnel for the royal family to escape from the castle. It was abandoned tomorrow morning. The history there is much older than that of the Kingdom of Agatha, and the long time has made the road unusable.”

The heavy stones blocked the passage. It was definitely not something that could be opened by human power. It was daunting. They couldn’t understand how such a place was dug out of the 12-meter-high underground tunnel, but they knew very well that it was a masterpiece of the Void Empire.

The queen knew very well that the escape tunnel would not be so complicated and huge. There must be power that could subvert that world, but she had not been able to grasp the answer before, but now it was extremely clear. There was a voice in her mind that kept shouting.

“Use it.”

The queen raised her legs, and a huge spirit suddenly emerged. Her eyes became weird and radiated light. A strong force lifted those boulders out of thin air, and then a violent flame suddenly appeared and exploded on the surface. The strong temperature turned those things into magma in an instant, but it could not shake the normal walls of the tunnel that seemed to be made of marble.

Is this definitely a tunnel forged by the civilization of that world? The smoke dissipated. Amid the screams of the knights and the weak feeling of spirit in the queen’s mind, the real end of the tunnel appeared. The light of the torch shone. Is that a metal wall?

Is it a pillar? Is it a pillar, a really big pillar?

The queen raised the torch and said. “It’s not a building, it’s… God!”

The knights raised their heads belatedly. In the dim space, the ceiling was too high to see clearly, but they found the real storage there. It was a metal giant tens of meters high, wearing perfect plate armor, holding giant cannons and amazingly huge pipes, and the black holes of the pipes looked like they were ready to eat people.

“Oh my God, the Emperor! What is that?”

Even though the knights had fought against powerful monsters countless times and even slaughtered dragons, they had seen the Void Vera (that kind of Void monster) fall from the sky and destroy a city, but they were still surprised by such a monster.

Is it metal? Something made by humans? “Then it’s the power of the Emperor?”

Queen Lilith brushed past the huge and ancient Knight Titan and shook her head. “The Emperor has told him, now the ground is, let them starve, let the dried legions of that world not deny his messenger, he is disgusted by their kneeling, they are wrong to let Sauron just do dog bite dog.”

The knights realized their mistakes, and they should not entrust Agatha to others. Thinking of the corpses all over the city, they knelt on one knee. “My Lord, please go to the body of God.”

The queen was concentrating, she listened to the voice from the void, teaching her how to use the spirit to complete the Titan warehouse door that only several mechanical priests or heirs of the knight family could open. The mechanical throne made of ceramic steel and adamantium slowly opened in the electromagnetic interference of the spirit.

The mechanical server that had been silent for thousands of years roared and reappeared, and the exterior of the Knight Titan composed of countless complex and dense structures appeared in front of everyone. Compared with the powerful weapons used by the gods in the legend, it now looks more like a womb that re-cultivates life.

Queen Lilith stepped into it, and she was firmly bound in the mechanical throne of her knight, ranger knight, and guardian of the word.

She knew the name of the throne when its neural socket was inserted into her skull.

The plastic-steel composite belt hugged her body tightly, but what followed was not warmth and comfort, but intense, violent clarity and violent thoughts accumulated by the machine for thousands of years. The machine soul had been here for too long, and the strong emotions made the queen vomit all over, and the cockpit door that was not closed was covered with disgusting vomit.

The Knight Titan was a protector and pioneer developed by humans during a long march of colonization in the Dark Ages, making humans immune to the attacks of terrible primitive people and beasts. The Knight family also relied on such protection and gradually became leaders, rulers, and kings.

The Knight feudal world was born in this way, relying on machines that were born completely without violence to fulfill violent obligations. The knights themselves were not drivers, and they were born to fight.

Such a crazy machine soul caused countless loyal and determined knight heirs to be defiled and violated by machines, and finally turned into indescribable whispering believers in the void.

Those best warriors who grew up with countless vows, and even joining the Knights are dangerous, not to mention a woman who has never fought and doesn’t even know what she should believe in.

At this moment, Queen Agatha Lilith is not so much a driver as a part of the Titan, a part that allows it to restart and walk on the earth.

After Lilith’s struggle and scream, the door of the fine gold warehouse closed, and she was locked in the armor of a 13-meter-high humanoid war machine, unable to live or die. She had to enter the will of the original, go to the void, and get the Imperial Guard’s aircraft.

The light blue painted Knight Titan, with loyal words written on it, stood up from the squatting state. The attendant knights wiped the vomit on their foreheads, but still stood up. “God’s Machine!”

But it was not the Queen’s voice that mistreated them, but the big metal feet that ignored their existence, snap, snap.

Their bodies were useless under the powerful armor, and were just insect shells in front of the Knight Titan. Queen Lilith had gone insane, her once beautiful face was now hideous, her dress was covered in stains and vomit, and she was held tightly in the Knight’s arms, enjoying the feeling of being a giant, that power, that madness.

She couldn’t remember who she was, and felt that she had been reborn as one of the countless gods recorded in history.

The nausea faded, as did the webbing and leather straps that wrapped around him, Lilith’s body turning to plaster and ceramite, her heart beating like a thundering plasma furnace.

Her senses turned into auguries and loading shunts. At that moment, Lilith Leoconti and the knight merged into one. Her thoughts were chaotic, but she knew that she was eager to fight.

That day, the red city that had existed for thousands of years ignited flames, the roar of melt cannons and logging guns, the mechanical stampede, death, death, a terrible scorch mark was left across the thick walls of the red city, from the king The castle goes all the way to the outermost part of the city.

Outside the city, it took three days for the Skadi Sole Regiment and the 113th Phlaxian Regiment to smoke enough food to feed tens of thousands of people. In addition to the two days of war before and the arrival there the next day, things seemed to be As the captain predicted, Coco needs a week to integrate the supplies.

The experience of porting is still tortuous, from full of expectations to plundering food, the Imperial Guards were stained with the blood of innocent people, and the hammerhead sharks were also stained with the smell of smoke, and the soldiers’ clothes could not be used to boil water. It’s time to make soup.

“Staff, we can finally leave. They have to return to their hometown as soon as possible. I hope John is okay.” Alan Bayer was still worried. He watched the food being carried on the transport plane one after another, and the killings and killings during that period were also going on. No big problem anymore.

The staff officer replied. “The Emperor is here, and he will definitely protect them, so don’t worry.”

It turned out that as soon as he finished speaking, there was a buzzing sound of electricity coming from the communicator. The communicator seemed to have detected the electrical signal. Tong Xunxun looked for the target out of habit and quickly adjusted the channel. A woman’s hoarse roar came from inside, and it was very strange. There is the sound of mechanical gears.

Alan Beyer asked. “what’s the situation?”

Tong Xun replied. “There is a signal source 10 kilometers away, and it is military grade.”

Alan Beyer doesn’t quite understand. “Reinforcements?”

The staff officer replied. “That voice was chaotic and disorderly. It was definitely not the troops of the empire, but more like a fanatical believer.”

Alan Beyer asked. “How does he know their location? It’s quite hidden there?”

“That’s it, everyone, get ready for battle! Get the sandbags and trenches ready!”

And in the distance, under the guidance of the Lord of Change, the crazy Queen Lilith is driving the giant Titan closer and closer. Ruming’s beautiful face is so deformed that she completely cannot maintain her life with the power of chaos, and she is now The only obsession is to see the incomparably wonderful void universe in her heart. For this reason, she even declares war on the gods.
