Warhammer: I am the Hammer of the Empire - #373 - Chapter 366 The Empire in Danger

Rangdan, this ancient and terrifying race has also awakened. Even if the empire is surrounded by enemies from both sides, it is not short-lived. In the last hundred years at the end of the forty thousand years, orcs, elves, traitors, supreme gods and people like Rangdan Ancient aliens, even the ancient Iron Man or the sins accumulated by mankind in the long history.

The Apocalypse is approaching, the restlessness of psykers, the emergence of demons, and the resurgence of ancient aliens. Everything means that the empire is burned by the flames of war. This is true for Pangia, and how can it not be true for other star regions?

The wind and rain are uncertain, and even the Inquisition, which protects the last bottom line of human reason and will, is torn apart at the end of the twisted 40th millennium. The Inquisitor is also the most powerful son of genius in the empire, and now he has turned into alien flesh and false things. , in this era, darkness has arrived.

When the Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Guard, Alan Bair, walked out of the ancient instrument of the Mechanicus, the humming giant once again confirmed his purity. However, the so-called naked eyes were muddy, but the transistor clearly understood the truth. Only after the adult-like biological sage made an easy-to-understand gesture of nodding with the last trace of humanity, the naked Alan Bair was allowed to put on the military uniform.

He drank the transparent liquid, which could help him relieve the radiation emitted by the equipment, and then Sergeant Catachan came as his personal guard. He was apologetic, because such a sinister thing happened under his nose, and secondly, he was apologetic. It’s a matter of whether the victorious core of the Imperial Guard will suffer another disaster.

He spoke. “The Emperor’s blessing, at this moment, many evils are resurrecting. Sir, in this hundred years, the entire galaxy will undergo more changes than in the previous thousands of years…” His tone was quite worrying, but Alan Bair just sorted himself out. collar.

“That’s why the emperor will bless us. Now is the time of life and death for mankind. How will this empire survive this hundred years and more sufferings in the wind and rain…” Alan Bair’s words are rarely tired, as energy There seems to be an endless supply of young people who are tired from the constant struggle for survival.

he said again. “How will the Inquisition deal with the next person?”

the sergeant replied. “There are no valuable scans. I think they are probably killed directly. Whether there are aliens like Dan Dan or they are suspected of being infected, those low-level acolytes are enough to devote their lives to this.”

What he said was direct and realistic. Acolytes who could know the existence of the Tribunal and men like wild snakes could still survive, but most people were unaware of the actual existence of the Tribunal and could not even escape with little hope. , under the hands and eyes of the Inquisition, whether it is the lower levels of the hive or other worlds, as long as you know the secret, you will definitely die.

But the loss of those lives is worthless to the empire. Alan Bair doesn’t quite understand. Is it really useful to kill those poor people? But this has been the foundation of this ancient empire for thousands of years. He is unable to change it. At least at this moment, the Inquisition will not interfere with his transportation of the volcanic cannon.

When Alan Bayer walked out of the room, one after another his brothers came to see him, and he accused them one by one of neglecting their duties, but did not actually punish anyone, but only accepted their gifts. And the few kindnesses left in their bodies.

But there were also special visitors among those people. After Alan Bair thought he was bidding farewell to the last officer he knew, a strangely dressed Imperial Guard soldier came over and spoke in a familiar tone. “An outsider like me shouldn’t come so early, but the Inquisition is very embarrassed right now and can’t come in. Sorry, I put on a little disguise.”

“Mr. Wild Snake, I haven’t seen you for a long time, but why do you have to come here in such a big way? If the Tribunal, the Space Marines, and the planet lords from all over the world want to visit me, they can wait until I am open to the outside world in three days.” Alan Bair was not angry, although Even a Space Marine would have to be taught a lesson by him if he entered the Imperial Guard base without authorization, but Wild Snake was a real comrade of the Imperial Guard, so he could naturally enter and exit unimpeded.

The wild snake said at this moment. “Because I have good news, two. First, I am going to become a judge!” He was ridiculous and excited, but it was what everyone expected, but it was obviously difficult for an acolyte like him who had made mistakes to hold the rose knot. Secondly, The number of judges in the Inquisition has always been limited…

Alan Beyer said. “He was the unlucky guy who was swallowed by Jean Dan, wasn’t he?”

“That’s right, but it’s also disappointing. The deaths of the two inquisitors in this sector are inextricably related to you. This makes me fear that I will be bitten by you because of this.” Wild Snake joked a little. Having said that, Alan Bayer is indeed in the position of Judge Tianke, one of the greatest people in the empire. It is indeed rare for one person to die twice in just a few years.

It’s just that Alan Beyer missed the point of the joke, and his sense of humor had been largely wiped out by his long military career, he said. “I don’t want anyone to die, it’s just their stupid behavior that makes them die.” At this point, this sentence made the air fall into silence.

Wild Snake had to tell the second good news to ease the atmosphere, and this news was not a secret to be precise, it was just an episode he discovered while investigating the progress of the Black Heart King’s fleet, but for such an Imperial Guard, it represented The Empire has not given up on their status quo.

he said. “The wolves are coming, the warriors running in the wilderness of Fenrir are coming, they come smelling the blood of their betrayal of their compatriots, and there are traces of the beasts that were once sealed.”

“Let Dan and the Black-Hearted King let the hunting wolves follow those tracks. The hungry heirs of Lemanus are looking forward to a gluttonous feast. If nothing else happens, these greedy beasts should be the Crimson Moon Dalian, tributed by the Wolf Lord. Nar. Red Moon is in charge of the hunting group.”

Alan Bair was surprised and happy, but also a little angry. He was happy because the visitor was the famous Space Wolf, surprised because it happened suddenly, and angry because the enemy army was pressing in. The only troops that came were a large company of Space Wolves.

Although a company of such a start-up legion is definitely far superior to the entire regiment of many battle groups, Alan Bayer can’t help but feel a sense of isolation and decline.

“Space Wolves…” He whispered the name of the angel of death from Fenrien, and then said. “If I remember correctly, they do not separate into companies, but use the Ring of Destiny in the Hall of the Wolf and the ancient runes of Fenrir to record the names of those warriors.”

“The name of Dalian is related to the name of the giant beast inherited by its wolf master, and… Gunnar Red Moon should be the skeleton monster that occupies the seven levels of hell in Fenris mythology. It swallowed a large number of worthless things. “

“The sound is like a giant bear, and the body is a skeleton. From a distance, it looks like an inorganic object carved in rock. I no longer know what the wolf master who inherited this giant beast is like.”

The wild snake nodded and praised. “Very knowledgeable.”

Alan Beyer replied. “During my time with the Tau Alliance, I also read a lot of their records about the Human Empire. At the same time, Miss Nova, as an inquisitor, would also talk to me in her free time. Captain Bordreau also walked by. Having met many veterans of the Imperial sector and well versed in Imperial folklore, this social circle has ensured that I will not be timid in this regard.”

“But I still don’t know what a company of Space Marines and Space Wolves looks like today.”

replied the wild snake. “They like to use fire suppression and saturation strikes to clear enemy arrays, and then rely on the powerful melee capabilities of their battle brothers to clear the battlefield and achieve significant damage in a short period of time, just like in myths, swallowing the enemy’s body. “

“And their wolf master is a narcissistic, arrogant, bard-like person, free and uninhibited, and full of emotions at the same time. Of course, his attitude towards mortals is not good, just like in the eyes of most space warriors The Imperial Guard will always be the backdrop.”

“But even so, the attitude of the Founding Legion towards mortals is already quite good among the Space Marines. They just ignore them, far from contempt.”

Alan Bair shook his head. “So I hate fighting with Space Marines. Even if those Death Angels are reliable and powerful, such comrades not only go their own way, but also find it difficult to obey strategic arrangements. It’s okay to meet capable ones. The worst thing is to cooperate with them to attack, but this time We need to face the Blackheart King, not every greenskin leader or Eldar Archon.”

He has a pessimistic attitude towards this matter. The way the Space Marines go their own way is too bad for upper-level officers, so the Imperial Guard and the Space Marines rarely cooperate when both parties have considerable strength. Most of them fight together. Both Imperial Guardsmen suffered heavy losses, and the Space Marines descended as the blades of the Empire.

The wild snake said. “But this matter is already done. In other words, even if the Black Heart King comes, it will only be the arrival of a large company, which can also illustrate the cruel situation of the current empire. As far as I know, this galaxy is burning.”

“As far as you know, Lord, Damocles Bay is being invaded by Tyranid. The Hive Fleet arrives as scheduled and tears apart the huge star field. If it goes a little further, Armageddon defeats the Bonecrusher and comes back. , setting off a huge green trend.”

“Cadia began to resist the invasion again, the Blackstone Fortress was attacked, and even the most fringe Kroros expansion discovered countless twisted new worlds, polluted, or ruled by strange aliens.”

“Let’s not talk about these hazes that are enough to destroy the empire. In terms of small disasters, frequent demonic incidents in various places and many inexplicable green skin crazes, the appearance of Old One-Eye proves that both heretics and aliens are in today’s world. The last hundred years at the end of the forty thousand years were crazy.”

The wild snake smiled helplessly. “Even the most powerful prophet sees the future of the empire as dark. To be precise, it’s like a boundless darkness tearing apart the entire galaxy. And how big is the galaxy? Millions of light years? Tens of millions?” He didn’t Say it for sure.

“I can’t imagine anything that can tear the entire galaxy apart. So most people think that the prophecy is wrong, but the madness during this period makes me no longer sure. Commander-in-Chief, Lord Lord, I originally wanted to retire and steal away. Live a peaceful life, but I can’t lie to myself.”

“Look, I’m over 100 years old. The limit for a mortal is only 500 years. If I’m very lucky, it’s only 400 years. And I don’t have much left, but I still use the best standards for rebirth, saying that it’s To pretend to be someone else, but I understand that my heart is still not dry.”

“Now that I have become the Inquisitor, according to the rules of the Inquisition, I will probably leave this star region, so this time I say goodbye to you as an old friend. In this dark universe, I am not sure what the next time we will meet will be. At that time, I was not sure whether I could survive. Maybe next time, I would be Rang Dan.”

“But I believe you will not die. In any case, even if you are facing suffering beyond the limits of mortal imagination, the Maelstrom is also bearing the suffering in the last hundred years of the millennium, and the people who hinder it are not space warriors, saints or The Knight Family, and even the Mechanical Sages.”

“I believe in you so far and go all out because you are a mortal and so am I. Everyone here has formed this huge group and formed the wall. In order to make this star sector continue, I am not sure, but no one is better than us. I love Pangia even more because I am also a Pangia and so are you.”

“I do not think that the Emperor favors you, but that we can, that we have the power, to deal with this suffering in the last hundred years of this dark millennium, not in the hands of supermen and miracles, but in the powerless bodies of mortals, when When the volcano cannon landed and the fortress was ready, I thought a miracle would happen to everyone, but it was a pity that I couldn’t see it. “

“I’m leaving, friend, lord, commander, the person who helps me avenge, and one of the countless heroes who saved the empire, Alan Bair, sir.” The wild snake bowed long, and his journey was real this time. That’s it. The commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guard also gave him a military salute and then said.

“I have been prepared and planned for a long time. The Emperor chose me. This is not stupid. As a human being, I have the awareness of the destiny given to me by those responsibilities. When Pangia becomes the indestructible shield of the Empire, when the Imperial Guard becomes the Emperor’s The emperor’s favorite warhammer, I will also become famous.”

“Also, first the Destruction Eagle, then the Space Wolves, what’s next? Sharks, vultures? Cows?” He changed the subject, as if repaying a joke he had ruined.

“This is an army, not a zoo! I don’t need undisciplined beasts. I only want real soldiers. Even the emperor’s angels have to be coiled when they come to my place!”

The wild snake suddenly laughed. “What a big talk, and I’m still just a snake, so your place is already a zoo!”

Alan Bayer also laughed. The two men who were once wary of each other have now become friends. They have gained friendship in the blood and war, and laughed in the gold and cold, just like human beings are insignificant and burning in this void. The current situation of burning…
