Warhammer: I am the Hammer of the Empire - #126 - Chapter 120 Return to hometown, green skin rises again

The void is vast and huge, and an expedition across half of the extreme star field is difficult in the eyes of mortals, but compared to the entire universe, it is just a bug that has traveled through very small areas.

The Bordeaux, that weather-beaten Imperial battleship, is already full of monsters and monsters, and countless messy things. I can imagine the Imperial Guard, the Tau armor and the Knight Titan coexisting in the same room. I can also imagine that the mechanical priest Coco has already It reaches the climax of human emotion in the desire for knowledge.

But no matter what, what they are doing now still makes the dark empire look dark in this desperate era.

The lieutenant took a picture of the cockpit of the Titan. It was originally a good place made of fine gold, but now it has become a hollow. The firepower of the Imperial Guard has almost completely penetrated it, making it impossible to die.

The Empire can definitely repair the Titan, but only if it is worth repairing. In the knight family with STC or Mars, there must be people who can repair it, but in that era, the repair needs to make changes and adaptations Yuanji might as well re-create a knight.

And although the area next to the maelstrom is not a remote place, it is not a human center like the core area of ​​Terra. There must be someone who can repair the huge void, but it is too difficult to find it there.

Rather than repairing it, everyone would probably be more inclined to disassemble the machine that has gone through a long period of time, use the parts to shape new equipment, and use the metal to cast weapons and armor.

Very good, Skadi’s only regiment will not be so ruthless. As an Imperial Guard infantry regiment with a fine tradition (rag picking), they will always hold the ideological policy of “whatever you have is enough” and the terrifying spirit of infuriating the Mechanicus to death, and embrace the spirit of innovation. , under the murderous eyes of the priest sister of the Mechanicus, the transformation of the Knight Titan began.

First of all, the main purpose is to lose the cockpit, so it is necessary to display a cockpit. Based on the captain’s whim, Skadi’s only regiment used local materials and connected it with the cockpit of the Sentinel mecha.

The shortcomings are obvious. Without mental control and biological connection, it cannot be as terrifying as a normal knight titan.

The biggest problem with the Sentinel is that it has no elbows. The knight can move, but it can’t move. It basically loses its melee capability. Moreover, the information transmission conversion interface that Skadi’s only team has created has a slow transmission speed, which is like playing a game. The high latency allows the Knight Titan to be used as a turret later.

Moreover, the Sentinel does not have the ion shield operating equipment, nor can it activate the shield as flexibly as the Knight Titan. Skadi’s only team can give the driver the entire radio, hold it in his mouth, and bite it if he wants to open the ion shield. The radio The end will send out an electric current to activate the shield.

In this way, using the wildest path and the simplest green-skin casting style, a clearly welded Knight Titan stood on the earth again, but obviously that thing was nothing more than a toy when it came to a real Titan.

Being protected by Skadi’s only regiment, its firepower can be used at will, and the effect is not too bad. The only drawback is that if the Mechanicus sees it, it may shout heresy, and then take out their third weapon. Slash over.

Secondly, the Knight Titan has been scrapped. Cheng Dong’s body has been replaced by a Sentinel body, and its soul has been transformed into a Sentinel mecha. Can you describe how it has transformed from an ancient noble warrior into a World War II heavyweight…

After a month of dark transformation, the second lieutenant looked at his new vehicle with satisfaction, which made people’s eyes darken.

The Mechanicus Priest girl fell into the extreme tolerance of the Imperial Guard after seeing Dark Age technology, Tau weapons, green-skinned equipment, Knight Titans, etc., and many treasures that the Mechanicus had never touched in their lives.

She knew that she would be able to dismantle more good things in the future, so she endured it now and even provided a lot of welding advice to the second lieutenant.

Wrong about that, is Alan Bair optimistic? Can you just use it if you don’t see the green skin thinking about it?

Compared to that, he was looking at the star map on the bridge at the moment. They had reached the middle of the Pangia sub-sector, and they just wanted to make a subspace jump for a while before they could return to Gondwar VI.

The return expedition is about to come to an end, but people have complicated emotions. They have been away for a year and a half until tomorrow. Although the void is changing endlessly, nothing should have happened.

But at the beginning of their journey, the damn thing that stood in front of them was still the damn thing in subspace. Although compared with the violent storm a year ago, the subspace storm in the Pangia sub-sector is no longer violent, but it is still Crazy, and it would take at least decades to physically fly across a star sector, but Alan Bayer didn’t dare to wait any longer.

“Captain, have the subspace storms decreased during that time?”

the captain replied. “It is a miracle that it is stable. According to the records and reports of the nearby Astra Militarum, the subspace storm has not weakened at all for a year, completely blocking their passage. But when they approached that star area, the subspace storm The storm began to subside.”

“Surely the Emperor is helping them…”

Alan Bayer could not deny that they had been helped by countless good fortunes along the way, but he did not believe in luck, so there must be the help of the Lord of Humanity behind it. In that dark void, he also had his sight. It can span the distance of silver and be by everyone’s side.

“How much has the warp eased?”

he asks.

the captain replied. “Probably, it can barely pass. If there is a warship like the Bordeaux, there should be a 60% chance of passing. However, the subspace storms are decreasing every day. He recommends waiting…”

Alan Bayer cursed. “What are you waiting for! Just leave! They have to fight back 20% of it, and I don’t know the current situation in that sector!”

The captain was a little frightened, but he agreed. “Ah… Indeed, if the Emperor really bless them, they should be able to get by. Get ready, start the warp engine!”

The huge hull of the Bordeaux submerged into the subspace, causing ripples in the non-physical world. The subspace storm caused the ship’s body to sway, but it was by no means unnavigable. In the frightening and abnormal swing, the Bordeaux The number moved forward slowly.

That voyage does not need to cross the entire star sector. A journey of just a few days requires a little more than a day in the subspace sense. But in the east of the subspace storm, this situation becomes more and more inaccurate, but the turbulence of that intensity It shouldn’t be something outrageous that would cause them to go straight back to the Dark Ages.

It is not uncommon for imperial ships to traverse subspace for various reasons. Many times, humans need to do this, and even Alan Bair’s voyage to Yuanji was not considered dangerous.

The day stretched to a long and suffocating time. Amidst the anxiety, the ship successfully passed through the subspace area and reached the Mandeville Point of Gondva VI.

The moment the ship returned to the real universe, the entire universe was filled with chaotic information, including countless rescue information from the Gondwa sub-sector. After analysis, it was found that at least fifty rebellions and thirty such situations had occurred in that sub-sector. Invasion, severe shortage of troops, and large-scale cult incidents, just the information coming from various places is shocking.

But Alan Baier soon discovered that there didn’t seem to be much news about Gundwa VI. Dozens of messages had been sent to dozens of worlds in that sub-sector, and there were hundreds of duplicates, but Gundwa VI It seems peaceful.

He breathed a sigh of relief and said to his staff. “Well done to them, well done to them.”

But the relaxed mood did not dissipate. The ship suddenly encountered a strange radio signal, which came from a nearby planet, and there was one on that planet.

Allan Byr and the Astra Militarum officers there held their breath, Allan Byr initially answered. “Connected.”

After the sizzling noise, a human voice came. “That’s Gondwa VI, the imperial world. Unknown ships are drifting in the area. If you don’t express your intention, they will launch a bombardment in three seconds.”

There was no tenderness or welcome, and it was not like that when he opened his mouth. That was not the normal attitude of a sector that had experienced war, and Alan Bair just cleared his throat.

“He is the commander of the fourth Skadi Regiment, Lieutenant Colonel Alan Bayer. He took the battleship Bordero back to his area of ​​responsibility. What happened?”

The radio was obviously cluttered, and then various noisy sounds broke out, which finally turned into a sentence.

“Boss, am I back?”

It sounds like Mr. John’s voice has become stronger during that time, and the few cheating and other silly things that were once there have faded away. That world was his crucible and forged a powerful planetary governor.

Alan Bair cursed. “Why don’t you just ask for bombardment when you come here? If he crosses half of the extreme star field, why don’t you do that?”

An uneasy voice came from the communicator. “No, boss, just no, hey… too many things happened during that time. Let’s land at the star port first, and he will get you some food.”

“I’m reluctant, Captain, please let me give him a ride again.” Alan Bair nodded.

the captain replied. “One trip? It’s no problem to travel half of the empire. Compared to that, he was also on the boat that time, and the navy soldiers are also tough. I will be destitute in Karu City that time!”

Over the radio, Governor John Dehn answered. “They couldn’t eat enough. During that time, they found special crop seeds from the Dark Ages. They were plants that were tailor-made for the environment of that world. The results were quite terrifying. During that dark time, the food in the nearby world was not available. They provide it.”

Alan Beyer replied. “Hey guys, am I rich?”

John answered. “It’s not like Skadi’s Fourth Regiment can get rich any more. During that time, they used food to import minerals, and then made deflagration guns with tens of thousands of handles. This would not pollute the environment, and large-scale production has not been carried out.”

“The real treasure of that world is its environment and the basis for the high yield of those genetic crops. Generally speaking, it will definitely be no problem to provide you with the opportunity to fight, boss.”

Alan Beyer replied. “Yes, yes, the Emperor is here. Is he really as cruel as my boy? How does it feel from a little liar to become the richest governor in the sector?”

John answered. “Boss, you have not promoted me. Hurry up and give the brothers of Skadi’s Fourth Regiment a shot at a shotgun!”

Friends haven’t seen each other for a long time, and naturally they talked a lot. The Bordero slowly landed in the star port. The place seemed to have changed drastically. It no longer had light spears to defend it, but now had guns that were enough to tear apart the battleships. The port is larger, with countless spaceships coming and going, and the prosperity of many worlds gathered there.

In the absence of subspace transportation, Gondvar VI became a beacon for the surrounding worlds. Even the PDFs of Gondvar VI often relied on civilian ships to leave like the Astra Militarum to help other worlds suppress rebellions.

The presence of the Lieutenant General also made it a huge and indestructible military base. The satellites there have almost become a second military department. Contact was cut off due to the impact of the subspace storm, but the soldiers still need command. Under the Imperial Lieutenant General The command east is the military core area of ​​Gondwa sub-sector.

The warp storm not only did not bring suffering to the ill-fated green gem of Gundwar VI, but instead allowed her to flourish and become a rare pearl in the Imperium.

The soldiers who had been away for a long time stepped out of the battleship in confusion, and the ensign couldn’t help but ask Alan Bair. “Boss, is that a remote place over there? He remembers that the star port was empty before, as if it were dead.”

The ensign looked at the traffic coming and going, the transport ships almost never stopping, and the people crowded there to enjoy the transportation and services.

The arrival of the Skadi Fourth Regiment (the only one) has created a rare vacuum in the Gondwa VI starport. Countless people watched with vigilance as the unknown Imperial Guard fell away, but some people who had lived here for a long time suddenly shouted.

“The Fourth Skadi Regiment?!”

The atmosphere instantly became strange, and then Alan Bair quickly found the center of the star port and built a statue of him using the method of a martyr, which is to say, it is the same as the tombstone of a great man.

He couldn’t help but frown, thinking that he was not to blame for so many disasters during that period, so why don’t we blame him for it?

Alan Bair sighed, and the person who picked them up also came. The gorgeous car used by the nobles of the empire showed the wealth of its owner. A brown-haired lady walked east, dressed as gorgeously as a peacock.

“Ah, it turns out that I like that style, sergeant?” Alan Bayer frowned. He has never understood the aesthetics of the nobility. In his eyes, simplicity and lethality are not the only aesthetic qualities.

The beautiful lady’s cheeks turned red, and she instantly returned to her confinement period when she was serving in the army. It had only been two years, but her feelings were completely different.

But her temperament as an outsider is still the same. “Lieutenant Colonel, please get in the car. They are going to the Planetary Governor’s Mansion. Karu City has prepared the best banquet for us.”

Alan Bair smiled. “He thought I was more ruthless before.”

The sergeant frowned and pressed himself in front of his former commander, the rich scent of the imperial aristocratic perfume filling the air. “He is not a noble now, how much do you want…”

Alan Bair pointed at the Chimera. ‘Look, even my broken car can’t withstand a volley of fire. “

The lady officer secretly made a face without being seen by them, and then gracefully stepped into the Chimera’s cockpit.

“You’re so young… Wasn’t he the one who went on missions before?”

Alan Bayer took the main seat. “I used to be at the back, smaller. Okay, now tell him what happened in that sector…”

He started the engine, and the buzzing sound covered up their wrong words. The sergeant wiped off the complicated makeup on his face and sighed. “The Black-Hearted King is back. He has ruled half of the star sector in just one year and is ready to sweep the Maelstrom again.”

“And they are troubled by subspace storms. The Lieutenant General is fighting every day, so he can barely maintain a very small area near that world.”

“But during that time, a group of orcs suddenly jumped near that world with strange legs and began to attack commercial ships. The survivors said that the orc leader called himself One-Eye, and he was not a blood axe.”

Alan Bayer said calmly. “One-Eye must be dead. He actually has a lot of fans? And the Black Heart King’s battle group suffered heavy losses. I hope that boy dares to get close to the rainforest. He will be defeated by two legs and make a comeback?”

The mansion in the distance was getting closer and closer, and his thoughts were interrupted. “That’s all, let’s talk about old times. He can kill One-Eye once and he can be killed twice. If he defeats the Black Heart King once, he can be defeated twice.”

“Compared to that, he ate smoked meat for a month! It’s so disgusting!”

The sergeant laughed, and she covered her mouth, realizing again that the Imperial Guard officer in front of her had no idea what he had gone through, but he had definitely become stronger and more like a real hero…

But he hasn’t changed. He doesn’t like to touch the taboos in other people’s eyes, and he doesn’t have any restraints.
