Warhammer: I am the Hammer of the Empire - #224 - Chapter 217 The Flame of Udun
In the imperial world where countless wars have broken out, those chaotic thoughts and fears nourish some indescribable power.
That world was not huge, with a population of only a few hundred million. It was not a rich world, and its output was barely adequate. Even though the Ming Square had its legs, the actions of the former Founding Governor had become a thorn in the side of the Imperial Guard.
They need strong control to ensure that this area can continuously provide supplies to the empire, and it may become a supply point for star ports and other equipment, which is extremely important for expeditions.
In the temporary command room, the schoolmaster’s face was solemn, and his plan was slowed down again. Just now, he tried to attack the enemy remotely, but they were all crushed by the powerful defense of the heavy void shield, and the cruel east field of the local militia was also overwhelmed. The school had to give up the idea of a strong attack.
As it turns out, if you don’t hold on or besiege, the firepower cannot crush the enemy’s defense, and the number of people can only double the slight advantage. Problems arise one after another. Many of the smart officers in the past know everything about peacetime strategies. Ru Ming is as silent as a virgin.
“Why, you are usually so noisy, and now you are mute?” The school was a little annoyed. He knew well not to be angry with his command team, but he couldn’t control it. Otherwise, he would destroy the thick legs of the Sergeant Major of the Falcon Legion. If you hold him with your arms, he can even break with those old comrades tomorrow.
For the Master Chief, he must remain calm even in desperate situations, but even so, he still saw in his eyes the low tolerance of ordinary people for pressure, but he could understand it. At present, under heavy pressure, the entire expeditionary force is waiting for him. Good news, it turns out that thing happened again.
Efficiency was a word that went against the Imperial Guard in the first few decades of that dark forty millennium. To be precise, almost the entire Empire was not. That ancient, huge, fat, and even rotting corpse had countless It’s immeasurable, and the entire galaxy is devouring its life all the time.
I can’t expect the dying dead to suddenly get up and lash out at Fang Qiu, sweeping away all obstacles and difficulties. It can even be said that even the emperor probably couldn’t do it. In that rotten dark age, people would even Those creeds and death-like sacrifices are taken for granted. Even if the master of mankind they expect comes to the world again, some people will turn a blind eye…
It is not very feasible to conquer the huge fortress in a short time. It is not a task that a Space Marine can infiltrate (at least it is not a task that the Destruction Falcon can do).
The discussion reached a stalemate. The governor of Port built a strange garrison with weapons that looked like demons. The modified monsters they made good use of and the large amount of manpower in the army showed what they could with Uton’s defense power. Otherwise, the Imperial Guard can take advantage of it.
Approval to the Ministry of Military Affairs for weapons that can break void shields on the ground requires long-term confirmation of the fall, and submission to the Office of the Minister of Military Affairs in the Extreme Star Territory.
Later, we had to contact Terra’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs before we could take any action. For several months, there were layers of documents and seals, and officials blamed each other. It was several months before the matter received high-level attention. After a long time, the gears of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs began to turn slowly.
But since ancient times, Wudun has been difficult to defend and difficult to attack. Its city defense has been painstakingly built for thousands of years. It is impregnable and extremely strong. It can withstand thousands of troops. If it is attacked by force, it will suffer heavy losses. It has never fallen in the previous thousand years.
Soon, negative thoughts were rampant in the legion, begging to abandon that world, fill the demand there with forced increases in production from other areas, and then use warships to surround the place and kill the traitors in the fortress.
But such an idea was rejected by the Master Chief. He knew very well how people were connected. Unless the hundreds of millions of empire residents in that world were abandoned together, there must be traitors who connected with the governor and sent supplies into the fortress.
Orbital bombardment requires a fleet. The roots of the forts are in the east of the earth. The foundations are solid and can be compared with battleships. The thickness of the planet makes the defense capability of the forts far better than ordinary battleships. Even if the Empire has many guns and a strong ship, it will not be enough. A small castle requires so much effort.
The governor’s behavior was nothing short of rat shit. He turned himself into a flesh thorn and got stuck in the core of that world, affecting that place all the time. But no matter how much he went too far, no one could cure him, to be precise.
However, the cost is not proportional to the rewards of success. They have many wars and troubles that they have not settled. At this time, every ship and soldier that wrongly pays the governor is a waste of the empire’s war potential.
When they were at a loss, the Empire’s radio and projection received the news, and the Tau Fleet’s call came. Almost instantly, the Master Chief and the Colonel showed disgusted expressions. If nothing else, the existence of the aliens and their troops joining the Empire’s expedition would be tainted. If Although the Sun Lord was kind to them, they would not act with the Tau even if they were not ordered by the high lord.
Buzz, buzz, the irritating sound of Han Xuan, the empire’s loud communication equipment, Tong Xun looked at his commander hesitantly, as if to say, take it?
The schoolmate nodded helplessly, disgusted with everything. He was not an ally at this moment, but he still didn’t think that the alien scum could provide any good war plan. The emperor would bless them even if they didn’t fall into trouble!
The empire was founded with the goal of clearing away the aliens. The resentment is long-lasting and difficult to eliminate. If the Ming Dynasty has gone through tens of thousands of years, it will become even more difficult to return. Tens of thousands of years ago, when Holy Terra first launched the battleship into the Ming Dynasty, the goal of the empire is to clean up the dregs. Even if The reason was buried for a long time, but new resentments continued to flow.
The Tau’s sky expanded several times and swallowed up many territories of the empire, making them look ugly. Their stupidity led countless people of the empire into eternal disaster, so that they could not return to the throne.
The Destruction Eagle and the Partoria Imperial Guard are also war machines stationed at the border of the Extreme Star Territory. They have long been grudged against the crazy expansion of the Tau. At this moment, the blue face that looked like a dead man appeared, and the entire command room fell into a trap. In the deathly silence, there was the opening sound of Shui Shi’s chattering.
“Every senior Imperial Guard officer and human warrior known as the Astartes, he expresses respect and gratitude to you for the way of war that you admire, but it seems that we encountered a lot of trouble when conquering that world, and he has to admit that we His actions overturned his wrong impression of the empire.”
“Fast, efficient, powerful and sharp.”
He did his best to use simple and appropriate words to praise the success of the Imperial Guard and the Astartes. His spoken English was very standard. Years of traveling outside the Empire allowed him to learn a truly elegant pronunciation of Gothic, which was even readable. Write High Gothic.
In his magnetic and gentle voice, it was hard to imagine whether such a person could be an alien. After he finished speaking, he asked with great interest.
“They want their aid to come to that world. The outside of the Tau fleet will provide enough supplies and food to appease the hungry humans. Reasonable food made according to methods that fully comply with the imperial recipe.”
“And all their supplies can be inspected by you. If possible, they can arrange engineering troops to help rebuild, but if he doesn’t want…”
“They can be slightly responsible for the entertainment broadcast channels outside a certain time in Yidong to soothe the excited emotions of the citizens of the empire.”
The school horse was interjecting. “Don’t fart, you disgusting alien. What I call aid is bullshit. He actually listened to me saying such shameless curses for so long. The Emperor and all his saints, I know. , he can let me see my ether in one round of bombing!”
He was excited, under pressure, with aliens, and with too many problems. He was no longer as smart as he usually was at school. Is that why most of the empire’s commanders gradually became furious during their long combat career? The weird reason was that the essence was that it was ever-changing. The battlefields and complex situations, the mental pressure brought by many bizarre enemies, the huge and slow empire’s logistics, the emotions of the soldiers who always need to be comforted, and at the same time break the empire’s pre-planned tactical policy again and again.
Even those with academic backgrounds find it difficult to adapt to school. On the contrary, those truly powerful Imperial Guard commanders often ignore the madmen who come from the East on the battlefield because they have become accustomed to the capriciousness of that universe and have learned how to resist it. Kind of crazy.
And there is no doubt that the Emperor favors that guy. He is extremely lucky to have such a hero next to him. As an Astartes, he has experienced countless wars and despair, the Master Chief said sharply. “He will allow me to broadcast my good deeds, but otherwise he begs us to join the siege.”
The senior Shui clan official replied. “According to their contract with the Sun Lord, during that war they were responsible for space support and space bombing at the necessary times, and they were not allowed to stay in the Imperial world for more than 26 Terra times without permission. According to the Tau calculation unit, 48…”
The Chief interrupted, then emphasized that. “The world is still in the process of casting the Governor’s legs. How effective is my propaganda? Look at the situation of the war. Although he is huddled in the castle, does he have the will of the people? In any case, his power and influence will make me Zai Zaishan is struggling.”
“An extreme, crazy, personality cult organization must exist in many places in that world, quietly.”
Silent, pointedly pointed out why the Governor is so insistent and fearless. It seems that he has lost power, but his centuries-old peak of power has made countless people admire him and think that he will continue to monopolize power after the Imperial Guard leaves. Is it just a matter of changing his position? The appearance of a person with a poor reputation.
He is a raging flame that keeps burning and will not go out. Even if Ruming seems to be extinguished, his fire will not go out. I hope that people in that world will still exist and some will still remember that kind of rule.
And Udun Fortress cannot be the embodiment of that status, let alone the reason why neither the empire nor the good people can obtain that world.
And pointing out that point, pulling the school out of anger and madness, pressure and blindness, he had to admit that the Empire could not control that world, and even if the Astartes and the Imperial Guard joined forces, it would require huge losses.
But at school, I still don’t feel that the empire has made any achievements in this matter, so what about aliens?
But he just listened to the Water clan’s reply.
“They…” His old cheeks (you can tell by the pebble-like ridges on his cheeks) were faintly touched. The Master Chief’s words hit Udon’s threat. Is it a blazing torch that always proves the true ruler of that world? Otherwise, neither the Empire nor the Good Way can stay here for a long time, so I hope their power is weakened and the Governor changes his appearance.
He can even become Titanium, which requires skin, a part of DNA or simply a similar appearance. The essence is that he has made a comeback, but that he has not been extinguished.
Shui had no choice but to take on that mission. He had no combat experience, but he still knew what kind of expert could take on that mission.
“According to our data, the governor of that world has a strong desire to control. That means he has extremely high personal authority over the castle’s defense equipment, while others probably do not.”
“Their psychoanalysts and computers deduced that he had a bad past, so he didn’t trust humans, and he deduced that his authority should be for himself.”
Talk at school. “So what? He is hiding as king in a huge castle that can’t even be conquered by warships. I can’t just appear in that huge metal city and kill him.”
“It’s not impossible. There are several ways of war, and a master who is proficient in them knows it very well.”
“Shadow, Hide, the Tau Empire’s most powerful xv25 battle suit. It uses optical camouflage to hide your figure. It’s not difficult to sneak into the castle. At least before the enemy notices, it’s no problem to kill the enemy or even come out again.”
The pride shown by the Shui caste made the schoolmates unsure, but the Eagles of Destruction, who often made mistakes in their combat uniforms, could be certain. “They can do it. He once broke the neck of one of those soldiers, but its hidden power is strange enough.”
“You can even hide it from the Astartes. There are relevant infrared detection and other equipment. At least according to the current general equipment of the empire, it is not difficult to hide it from the enemy.” He told the truth, and the Shui clan nodded. The school had to admit it. Titanium has slightly surpassed the Empire in many aspects, but that does not mean that he recognizes the aliens.
But he admitted that those inferior Astartes could change the situation of the battle, and he should at least give it a try.
“He…promised me that he could use the imperial world’s sacred broadcasts to promote my disgusting kindness, but he must be allowed to see the power of its XV and other services.”
“And remember, if he doesn’t trust us, he has no other choice. If we move our legs and change the actual situation, the Partorians will destroy us first!”
He didn’t care about the Flame of Udun, he knew that the aliens were absolutely untrustworthy. Those monsters that were greedy, stupid, and self-centered would destroy everything. At least he would be slightly forgiving if he could use them, even if he didn’t like it.
The Shui Cast virtual image nodded slightly and promised success. After the blur dissipated, the command room fell into silence again, a long and oppressive silence.
