Warhammer: I am the Hammer of the Empire - #8 - Chapter 8 Arriving at Gondwa VI
Monthly diary
Written by: Alan Byrtons
Preface: When he realized that he was wandering in the boundless dark universe, he planned to write something to leave to future generations, especially if the long journey into subspace made him unbearable.
Recorded in: After the 6th month of the subspace voyage.
Appearance: It has been almost six months since he left his home world, and he has nothing to do except priest, pray, and strengthen his faith in the empire.
According to the leg book, one day in the subspace is equivalent to 12 days in the real physical universe. In that case, they have spent a little more than 2 months in the physical universe.
When the usual complicated training disappeared, and I needed to stay sane during the confinement period like wandering around, there was no basic game other than chatting. There was not much space there, and the group of recruits had done all the childish things I could imagine. .
I can never believe how boring subspace travel is, and the ship does not have much supplies, and the food is mostly synthetic food that lacks taste.
So he invented a new way to eat it, using a personal heating device to mix the greasy synthetic lunch meat as a condiment with granola bars and any army-issued snack you could find.
It tasted good, and it made him happy for a long time, until the temperature of the heater accidentally burned some of the metal in the ship’s cabin, making him feel the blasphemy of a sacred machine of the Empire.
During that time, Mr. John used glue to put together a photo of his fiancée, which was as good as ever.
And tomorrow will be the second day of his recording. I hope there will be more interesting things in the future… The God Emperor is here.
“Hey, what am I doing?” Mr. John’s big face was pressed next to him, where there was no private space to describe.
After two months of training, he performed outstandingly in the later period. Ruming was already a Dong Shi and assumed the task of commanding the team leader in that room.
Alan Bayer closed his comb in Yue Ji, and he combed his waist again. “He is recording his life, although he will leave soon.”
John was lying on the bed bored. “Don’t be so pessimistic. God-Emperor bless me, his friend.”
Alan Bair sighed. “I don’t understand. I have a fiancée, and the most beautiful woman he has seen since the beginning of his military career is a cyborg.”
John said something meaningful. “Sometimes, not being able to see her makes it even more painful, otherwise he is envious of me.”
Their gossip was quickly heard by other people on the ship. He was called a fierce man, and he was 1.9 meters tall. He was somewhat mutated due to the ecology of the hive city, but his skull was not human.
His name is Kailan, and he is the heavy weapons team in this squad. There is only one team in each team. He also bears a noble heavy bolter, and he will be the best support in the team.
But that hunk has a problem…he…
“Oh my God, what I said was so touching. He really wanted to take me back to her.”
“Wrong, Mr. Platoon Leader, how is the progress between Miss Mechanic Priest and I that I mentioned earlier?”
He wiped the walking mat with his legband, leaned next to the two of them and started chatting.
Yes, that 1.9 meter tall man is unexpectedly slender and likes to gossip, but Alan Bayer is not worried about his combat effectiveness. When I saw him holding a heavy machine gun alone, he fired a burst of explosives, which was visible to the naked eye. Everything was beaten to festering with his delicate attention.
I feel really relieved to have teammates like that.
But Alan Bayer did not emphasize it. “He and she just know each other, don’t think too much!”
Therefore, the topic quickly turned into how to clean up the greenskins, which aliens and heretics were powerful, and that topic was broader, and the entire class members started chatting.
Some people began to wrestle their legs and show off their biceps. They were military confinement women who were full of masculinity. For now, they were very “young”.
Maybe they will die while traveling in subspace, maybe the whole ship will sail to the space of the four gods, maybe it will take them a long time to reach their destination.
When Alan Bayer was thinking wildly, that familiar yet unfamiliar trembling feeling came over him.
The men and horses in the cabin stood up and looked at each other again, so John boldly asked. “Platoon commander, do you feel that way?”
Alan Bair answered uncertainly. “It’s like, it’s so similar. It feels like Geller’s stance is closed. They’ve come to the physical universe!”
After a while, the broadcast came on.
“The members of the 3rd Skadi Infantry Regiment listened to the order and began to pack their things. They have reached their destination. They have reached their destination and are in orbit.”
“That trip took them three months, again, it took them three months!”
The broadcast was repeated three or four times, because Alan Bayer needed to pack his things and didn’t remember it clearly, but he was a little scared again. What if they encountered the enemy’s orbital defense force when landing? What if they encountered the Orcs in space? What to do with the scrap ship…
A sense of powerlessness permeates the Warhammer universe forever, and the more he learns, the less likely he is to be as relaxed as others.
When the class was packed up and people were walking around the empty beds, John couldn’t help shouting. “He can finally get out of that hallway!”
Kellan seemed more relaxed. “He thinks I’m used to the narrowness of the hive.”
John’s reply was delayed. “Of course, of course he’s used to it, wouldn’t he like the feeling in the boat…”
Alan Bayer guessed that John’s hometown was probably in good condition, with a capable family who took photos and a beautiful fiancée. He couldn’t help but be a little envious on the outside, and then he refused to admit that they were wrong about the nickname of that room.
Just like people in the 3rd Infantry Regiment would call Alan Beyer, nicknames like “The Boy Who Lived” or “Flying Snake Boy”.
Alanbair scolded them. “Stop messing around, take your things, don’t lose them, line up now!”
The people on duty lined up, and at this moment they could clearly feel the battleship moving in the physical universe, which also meant that the position offset must not be far. They didn’t even drive the sublight speed engine, so they could move forward at the normal battleship speed.
That is to say, the distance between the two planets is not very large, about 2-5 light years, and it can be easily reached with the help of the astropath.
But… Alanbair couldn’t help thinking that half a year ago, his concept of light years was not out of reach, for example, because of the subspace, it took six days to cross the distance threshold that countless cutting-edge scientists in his previous life could not break through.
Are there countless aliens in his world? Has the Emperor seen it?
He shook his head, looking at the gradually opening warehouse door, and saw other platoons and squadrons of soldiers marching outside.
“Come out!” Under the command of Alan Baier, they finally left the cell. The space outside was very large. The corridor of a real battleship was big enough for four people to pass side by side. It was bigger than their room.
And there were real windows. When Alan Baier looked out from the battleship window, the planet composed of dark green and blue flickered like a gem in the universe. The existence of the atmosphere gave it a lot of beautiful ruby color.
Is that the place that the Emperor needs to protect? It is really a beautiful world.
