Warhammer: I am the Hammer of the Empire - #361 - Chapter 354 Heroes are more than just warriors

In a closed room at midnight, Mr. Wild Snake was sleeping in a den belonging to the former acolyte organization. It looked like, but was actually a grocery store on the second floor. He was dressed like an old man and had kindly makeup on his face. , even if the snoring, hissing, hissing sounds came from his throat, it could not interrupt his hiding and hypocrisy.

Naturally, no one could realize that this half-century old man had the most powerful personal power in the entire neighborhood, so much so that he could kill anyone who was considered arrogant by the residents.

It’s just that the night is silent, and a transcendent person also needs to sleep. But when the radio next to his bed made a hissing sound and forcibly broadcast his familiar voice, the man behind the scenes woke up instantly.

“I am the commander of the 4th Skadi Infantry Regiment of the Imperial Guard. We have taken control of Bandertal’s palace and completely dominate the upper nest. At this time, I unilaterally declare that your resistance is no longer effective.”

“Repeat, I am the commander of the 4th Skadi Infantry Regiment of the Imperial Guard. We have taken control of Bandertal’s palace and completely dominated the upper nest. At this moment, I unilaterally declare that your resistance is no longer effective!”

The words were sonorous and powerful, and Wild Snake climbed up from his bed. He turned up the volume of the radio and listened to the next announcement.

He nodded, thoughtful, and then ecstatically called out to the other guys in the bedroom on the second floor outside the room. “It’s over! It’s over! Victory, we succeeded!” His words were loud and repeated on the fully enclosed second floor until all the guys woke up.

They hurriedly walked down the stairs, opened the rolling shutter door, and the sleepy workers lit the night lights, but they saw that the streets were full of people during this time when even the factory was supposed to be closed.

The residents held night lights, and the light in the room overshadowed the dispensable public light sources built for them by the empire. The residents here all walked out in fear and anticipation. Some people woke up their neighbors and friends. Some shouted that it was the end of the world, while others shouted that the Emperor’s light was of great value.

But there is no doubt that a change has come. No one knows what will happen in the following days, but most people think that the war that is approaching for them is over, then the military factories that work overtime all the time and the lifting of the restriction order can Make life in the dark hive a little easier.

Those numb and helpless people can only expect this. At the same time, walking out of the house this time is more of a catharsis for the routine life. If the Emperor’s soldiers are kind and give them a few days of rest, just like on the Emperor’s Ascension Day, they will would fully support the arrival of the Imperial Guard.

Until now, the only person here who still had credibility, namely Wild Snake, put on a new set of clothes and stuffing to change his height, and then shouted in a high and clear voice.

“Everyone!” He has become an old gentleman at this moment. To be precise, he is the honorary president of the local business guild and the largest grocery store owner here. He has lived in this neighborhood for a full 30 years. He is highly respected and gentle. Although he often travels to various places on business, there are very few people in the hive capital, especially in the streets around this neighborhood, who have not been helped by him.

The so-called hive city is a place that is not suitable for human survival but can only live here. People who can live to the age of 60 are already rare. At this point, most people have known this tall, thin, gentle and elegant boss since they were children. .

Most of the people fell silent. Even the most rogue, the least convinced of the emperor or the nobles, the gangster-like kid or the cunning old thief, all had to be silenced by the opening of the wild snake.

“Everyone who lives on this street, I have been looking forward to this event many years ago. To be honest, I know you are worried, scared, and uncomfortable, but when I was a child, the Feng family empire navy controlled At that time, we only needed 30 credits a month to pay the air tax, water tax, and electricity tax, but now?”

“260, almost cannibalism. Think about it. During this period, no one in that family was beaten by the lord or the private guards of the Chamber of Commerce because they couldn’t pay the taxes. No one in that family drank unpurified water because they couldn’t pay the water bill. Origin Died from unknown water sources!”

“And those who are a little older can still remember the days when the empire controlled this place. People were far less miserable. And I have always regarded myself as a parent and took care of everyone. For a long time, I have been very grateful to Bandertar. Hey, I am the most disgusted, the most disgusting person, and the person who most wishes to have his bones ripped out and cramped!”

People couldn’t help but nod, and the elderly residents even couldn’t help but choke. Since that war, the lives of the hive nobles have gotten better and better, but the lower classes have become victims of the expansion of those people.

In the days when the Feng family ruled, Engili did not have such a big voice, nor did it have such an exaggerated territory, and it was not necessarily possible to challenge the empire. However, the lack of expansion also meant that the output was only 11 taxes. According to their second-level inferior With the lower tax levels, although people did not have enough to eat, they were far less miserable than they are today.

At this moment, the wild snake struck while the iron was hot and spoke. “Go to the elevator! We are going to welcome the Imperial Guard! Show your loyalty to the Emperor!”

“Praise the God-Emperor!”

People all spoke. “Praise the God-Emperor!”

At this point, Wild Snake couldn’t help but wipe his tears. These were not crocodile tears, but he felt that his great revenge had been avenged. At the same time, he also missed his ordinary and strange life. Now he is indeed in a high position, but he also I can’t help myself.

The help of the Tribunal left an indelible mark on him. When the flame of loyalty tied the rose knot to his skin, even if he could erase those traces, his soul would be burnt by the flames and leave dark traces. There is no escape from the servitude of the Inquisition.

But even so, he had no hesitation and sold his soul to try to defeat the villain. At this point, most people in the entire neighborhood came to the elevator in the industrial area in the early morning carrying large and small bags, condolences and gifts.

At this moment, the entire hive has been shut down, and no one is in the mood to work anymore. Except for the maintenance servitors, most of the management are nobles. Those people are terrified, and the lower-level workers have been deprived of the right to acquire knowledge and cannot maintain the operation of the production line. .

In order to maintain huge security needs, the Ministry of Justice rarely bows to pdf, but now most military officers are defined as war criminals, and there are very few officers who can go to densely populated areas to maintain security.

And here, Captain Kenny is one of those innocent officers. He eats marshmallows arrogantly, uses armored vehicles and bullets, and with about 1,200 of his men, a company of soldiers completely controls the local industrial area, and there are five more Ten heavily armed bailiffs fought with him.

Theoretically, the Imperial Guard’s combat capabilities are higher than those of the bailiffs. However, in comparison, those bailiffs who are affiliated with the legal officers are quite exaggerated in their equipment. They have a full set of carapace armor and anti-explosion clubs or explosive pistols. The dark equipment shows a terrifying look. temperament.

And their ruler, almost covered in silver-black armor, holds a heavy bolt shotgun that is not inferior to that of a Catachan soldier, has a Taser and stun baton on his waist belt, and his face is almost completely covered with black exoskeleton armor. Covered, tall, with a gentle yet stern voice.

He walked up to Captain Kenny. As a graduate of Tadashi Academy, if he joined the Imperial Guard, he would have at least the power of a lieutenant colonel, and the priority of the bailiff would be greater than the pdf, but he did not show contempt, but said.

“Thank you for your support, old friend. After the crusade against the nest, we have not seen each other for several standard Terran years. However, the comrades who survived are now in high positions, and only you…”

His meaning was very clear. He could provide some “convenience” to the Wannian lieutenant, especially in the current chaotic hive city. The power of the Ministry of Justice has become larger in disguise, and they are an institution affiliated with the empire and are banned. During the days under Detar’s control, he kept to himself and would never be “liquidated”.

But Kenny said. “Being in a high position means having responsibilities. I don’t want to be responsible. On that day, when the horn of a wild beast pierced my abdomen, I realized that being in a high position means paying more.”

“I’m not willing to pay a cent for other people in this world, and I don’t want to get gold and silver from other people’s hands. I just need to live as me, as I am now, and that’s enough.”

The Advocate’s bare mouth and thick chin smiled. “It’s an interesting idea. If those nobles had your idea, tragedy like this wouldn’t have happened.” He looked towards the suppression area. Most of the troublemakers and potential troublemakers had guns pointed at their heads by the bailiffs. .

This unprovoked farce was the last carnival of Bandeta’s people, which made people sigh. After the collapse of the huge power empire, it turned out that there was only such a land of chicken feathers and trash-like garbage people.

He also wanted to complain to his old friends about the mess left by Bandertar, but was reported by radio that there was another quarrel with the police on the Empire’s traffic artery. According to the rules, he invited Captain Kenny into his private hover vehicle, and Get to the scene as quickly as possible.

At this point, he got out of the car a little impatiently, but there was also a menacing attack on the other side. Almost a thousand people were attacking the pass. Only dozens of bailiffs could not deal with it. Until Captain Kenny spoke, hundreds of black guns were used against the thugs. Those talents seem to give up.

But soon, an old gentleman walked out of the crowd. The bailiffs did not dare to take action, and the pdf firearms could not scare him. Many high-ranking people here could only watch his high-sounding words.

“Master Legal Officer, Master PDF, we just want to witness the triumphal appearance of the Imperial Guard. Since the area is now blocked, can we wait here?”

The legal officer responded impartially. “The light of the God Emperor has returned. A young man like you can just maintain his daily job, otherwise I will be qualified to detain you!” He said this, but he also saw the snake eye symbol on the old gentleman’s chest and understood that he was from the guild. People can also be regarded as representatives of public opinion. They only speak harshly, but they dare not actually take action.

But the captain said. “I’ve seen you. Damn it, you’re from that army. Why are you so secretive? Bandertal fell!” He recognized Wild Snake at a glance. It was a coincidence. Even Wild Snake didn’t guess that this officer was there. here.

The wild snake is following the current. “Sir, I am just a favored person. I can be considered as having merit because it is a gift from the Emperor. If you hadn’t let us go, the Imperial Guard would probably have…”

“Don’t say such things. I can’t beat those soldiers. Their temperament shows the situation, but something seems wrong up there. It’s been several hours, but the troops haven’t come down yet…” Captain Kenny retorted and put forward his own opinion, Because he was in favor of Bandertal’s downfall, and he didn’t want that bastard to continue to ruin his hometown.

The legal officer spoke. “Do you know each other? That’s easy. I can mark an area for you…” Before he could finish speaking, the communicator sent out another signal. He connected his target indicator, and the power armor began to play sounds and images.

He saw several refugees stumbling down the elevator in the green holographic image. Most of them were old, weak, sick, and disabled. At the same time, some of them who could be considered responsible were talking to him on the phone with his bailiff.

He quickly understood the situation and his expression turned pale. “Someone from above fought back, the remnants of Bandertar…”

“Damn it, good times finally come and I can return to the empire!”

Captain Kenny spoke immediately. “How’s the battle going?”

“The refugees are here. They only know that the entire upper nest is burning. However, it seems that the Imperial Guard has occupied Bandertal’s manor. The place is firmly guarded. It will be over for a while…” What the legal officer meant was Wait and see, but the captain retorted.

“I’ve seen their convoy, and the supplies there can only last two battles!”

Wild Snake immediately added. “It’s been almost half a week since I sent them away. According to standard Terra days, that’s about three to four days. They must have just established a stronghold…”

The legal officer shouted cursingly. “Have we just returned to the embrace of the empire and we are about to fall into the tiger’s den again? I can’t stand maintaining order for those bad guys!”

Wild Snake said, fanning the flames. “Otherwise, if this continues, we can only be dogs. If we are dogs of the empire, at least we will have the God-Emperor to protect us. If we are dogs of those traitors, the beastmen will have to eat us all!”

Captain Kenny subconsciously touched his belly, touching the iron stomach through his skin and clothes, then smiled bitterly and said in pain. “Beast, beast…”

shouted again with determination. “I’m going to the lair and taking my brothers and sisters to assist the Imperial Guard. That troop can do practical things and is better and kinder than Bandertal. The Emperor also loves them!”

Wild Snake immediately added. “I’ll go too,” he said, taking out the revolver from inside his coat. “I was a gang member when I was young, and my marksmanship is among the best!”

The legal officer looked at the mess and chaos here, was silent for a long time, and then turned on the communicator and said. “All the bailiffs in Area D have gathered. We need to suppress a large-scale rebellion. The location is the core area of ​​the Upper Nest, the former Bandertal Palace. The code name belongs to the Emperor!”
