Infinite Metaverse

"A soldier on foot is no soldier at all."

——A common expression used by Attila’s barbarian cavalry.

"Life is only for fighting, death is for sleep; life is for no honor, death is for redemption."

——The last prayer in the prayer of sacrifice before the Krieg Death Legion enters the battle.

…………

When dawn appeared on the gray horizon, and when its first ray of light swept across the wasteland plain, at the outpost of the hive city's outer defense line, the sentry stared at the cold, dust-covered ground with sore eyelids. earth.

There was a sound of footsteps behind them. The sentries standing guard, the sentries waiting to change guard, and the sentries wrapped in sleeping bags all looked back. It was Qingshan Khan, the captain of the Iron Buddha Chapter, leading several space warriors. Patrol the perimeter defense line.

A few sentries in thin clothes quickly stood up and saluted, looking at the group of Space Marines wearing black gold power armor with awe. The tall ceramic giant looked very indifferent. The red eyepiece slowly scanned them and the surrounding defenses, then turned and left.

They didn't speak - maybe they did, over the internal comms, but it was clear that the Space Marines didn't want to share those conversations with them.

The sentry guessed correctly that Fu Qinghai was indeed discussing the defense deployment of the hive with several of his subordinates.

"Minefields, barbed wire, tank traps, anti-tank trenches... they all look quite similar."

Fu Qinghai's voice sounded on the communication channel.

The trenches and low walls connected to the bunkers were simply reinforced using quick-hardening cement and plastic steel bars. The bunker is equipped with multiple perforations for heavy weapons. Sandbags are built around the weapon positions. Roadblocks composed of oil tanks filled with gravel, corrugated steel plates and bulletproof armor are specially arranged at the intersection.

This is the outer line of defense outside the walls. The main body of the hive including the walls is also protected by multiple void shield arrays.

"Strong fortresses are often breached from the inside. It took Satflan and I a lot of time to identify, screen and eliminate the heretical forces within the nest."

Kalamanda said.

The planet Kelnak III is not big. It is the only hive city where humans gather in large numbers. Fu Qinghai first needs to confirm its defense situation and ensure the safety of the hive city, and then consider whether he can go out and destroy the orcs and humans. Traitor, otherwise the hive will not be defended, and this battle will be in vain.

It now appears that although the local Planetary Defense Force is the same as most of the Empire's Planetary Defense Forces: average morale, sparse training, and poor equipment. But at least they put some effort into building fortifications, and there are no obvious holes.

As for strikes from space orbit...

The Suzheng and Zhanma were anchored above the hive city.

"Call the Planetary Governor."

After the inspection, Fu Qinghai said.

…

On the balcony of a watchtower.

The planetary governor was disheveled, wearing brocade, embroidery, and diamond-studded robes. He hurried over and came to Fu Qinghai's side with a few servants. He said somewhat flatteringly:

"Lord Chapter Leader, I heard that you are looking for me?"

Fu Qinghai looked into the distance and said:

"The fortifications are well built. Let's go back and strengthen them to transform them from semi-permanent to permanent."

A trace of hesitation flashed across the planetary governor's face:

"Uh, what do you mean... this war will last for a long time?"

"No."

Fu Qinghai shook his head and pointed into the distance:

"what is that?"

There was smoke and dust rising faintly in the distance.

"That's the greenskin, my lord."

Fu Qinghai raised his hand and pointed to the sky:

"What's that?"

The sky was clear and the sun was glaring.

"That's the sun, my lord."

"There are green-skinned spores and the sunshine, what does this mean? Under photosynthesis, even if I kill all the Orcs now, you will still have to spend one or two hundred years to completely eliminate the Orcs on this planet. Creatures cleaned up.”

Fu Qinghai said calmly:

"So it's just my suggestion. I suggest you strengthen the defenses. After all, we won't be stationed here forever, and there will still be many wars in the hive world in the future."

"I understand, my lord."

The planetary governor nodded and said.

…

Fu Qinghai is mobilizing troops and generals.

To be honest, he actually didn't quite understand the role and positioning of traditional cavalry in the era of interstellar warfare.

The Krieg Death Corps is a large and complete Imperial Guard regiment, consisting of infantry, artillery, grenadiers, and armor. The Krieg are particularly good at siege warfare, and they have a variety of ground-burrowing vehicles. The three major military orders of the Empire: Space Marines, Adeptus Mechanicus, and Imperial Guard. None of the Space Marines have their own earth-penetrating vehicles, but Krieg does.

Strictly speaking, the Death Cavalry is only the second-line unit of the Death Corps. It was during the Krieg Civil War. Because the civil war exhausted all resources and there was not enough fuel to refill the tanks, the Cavalry was reintroduced because the actual combat effect was not bad. Yes, so it was retained after the Civil War.

The Death Cavalry does the work of the Sentinel Mecha, including reconnaissance, harassment, guerrilla warfare, and support... It is not considered the frontal force and main force of the Krieg Death Corps at all.

And what is so special about Attila's barbarian cavalry?

Attila is a feudal world.

Krieger joined the Human Empire as a hive world. As mentioned before, the technological level of the hive world is similar to the overall technological level of the empire, while the technological level of the feudal world lags far behind the empire.

Officials of the Ministry of Military Affairs realized the bravery of Attila's wild cavalry and equipped them with special cavalry weapons sufficient to participate in interstellar wars-hunting spears. However, this could not change the fact that the traditional cavalry itself had great flaws.

In the 41K era, the Attila Barbarian Cavalry once repelled the Necron invasion. However, it should be noted that the Necron dynasty itself was not strong, and the Attila Barbarian Cavalry also suffered heavy casualties and paid a heavy price. .

Therefore, the two cavalry units were established due to various special reasons. Normally speaking, no one would still play traditional cavalry in the era of interstellar wars.

Fortunately, Fu Qinghai does not completely rely on the two Imperial Guard cavalry units as the main force. He has three companies of Space Marines, all equipped with jet motorcycles - and this is what cavalry should really look like in the era of interstellar wars.

The Space Marines of the Fifth Company and the Sixth Company are taking the time to familiarize themselves with the operation of jet motorcycles. These young and brand-new Space Marines have never driven such a thing as a jet motorcycle in the past. It will take some time to master them, but they are engraved in the The genetic talent in the gene seeds allows them to master it very quickly, and they can quickly perform various fancy moves.

Although the defense of the hive city is acceptable and it is safe for the time being, Fu Qinghai cannot allow the greenskins and chaos to occupy other areas and other vast areas on this planet.

All is ready except for the opportunity.

Now, Fu Qinghai only needs to wait for an opportunity.

The perfect time to show off.

…………

Planet Karnak III, garbage hills.

Deep in the mountains of the hive world stands a rusty steel statue. On top of the ten-story building is a crude barrel-shaped head and a large patchwork face.

A cruel face, a harsh face, a face full of Ork-like confidence and Ork-like power. It towers among the sparse woods, surrounded by a makeshift fence, surrounded by garbage pits and technician boys. In the factory where you live.

Behind it lay trees and fetid jungle mud.

The statue is overlooking the Orc shack, as if looking at the war in the distance. It is obviously an unfinished statue. The messy Orc shacks are scattered around the statue, and the rags picked up by the scavengers are piled in the gaps. , the technician boy is picking and thinking about it, and then starts to splice it.

Li Hanxing put down the telescope.

His face was hidden under the gas mask. Although his expression could not be seen, his breathing was obviously beginning to quicken.

Ancient giant garbage!

The orcs are creating ancient garbage!

Li Hanxing didn't know much about Ork vehicles, but based on the size alone, this unfinished behemoth was by no means a mecha unit like the Killer Can, Gork Kong or Mao Brother Kong, but a serious Titan. unit.

When their Titan unit and their siege weapon - the Ancient Giant Garbage are completed, will the hive city's defenses be able to withstand the attack of this behemoth?

"Prrrrr."

The biochemical riding beast that sat down snorted.

Sharp hoofs trampled on the grass.

"Sir, what should we do now?"

asked a death trooper beside him.

He is asking: Attack? Or go back and report the news?

Li Hanxing thought and hesitated in his heart.

The task Qingshan Khan assigned to himself was only to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, and there was no order to engage in battle, but the opportunity was very rare at the moment - the evil sun clan's convoys had disappeared without a trace, and there were only a group of technician boys and grunts in this temporary stronghold. Although the technician boy is not bad in combat, he is not the real main force after all. This hilly area is already far away from the hive city. If we return now... By the time we come here next time, the orcs' ancient giant garbage will probably have been completed.

Li Hanxing picked up the telescope again.

He took another look at the statue:

The orcs are using a crane and hinges to hoist a huge multi-barreled revolver weapon onto the shoulders of the ancient giant. A group of goblins are lined up in a row, shouting "Hey, hey, hey, hey" under the whip of the orc overseer. Pulling the rope under the pulley block, he tried his best to drag a giant cannon with a weird shape and full of orc style.

At this moment, outside the fence behind the garbage truck and the garbage dump, in the dense bushes, a pair of cunning eyes were also looking at the death cavalry on the top of the hills in the distance.

This orc hunter's dress is very different from the technician boy in the stronghold - his face is smeared with mud and war paint, there are fangs and claws hanging around his neck, and a large piece of tattered animal skin vest is draped around his body.

The orc patiently stroked the skoog war pig on his crotch and signaled the mount to calm down. The round and strong red monster twisted restlessly and rubbed against the rough tree trunk next to it. As the corners of the orc's mouth raised, the hooked fangs became more prominent, and a pair of cruel and cunning bulging eyes stared at Li Hanxing.

No more waiting!

After thinking about it, the Death Cavalry Captain finally made up his mind and said:

"Cancel radio silence and inform the hive of our current location coordinates."

"receive."

The death trooper carrying the message caster immediately picked up the microphone and began to deliver the message.

After the cavalryman finished operating, Li Hanxing clenched the hollow metal shaft of the hunting spear with his right hand, and lifted the reins of the biochemical riding beast with his left hand. The war horse "Herodus" neighed and said in a deep voice:

"Everyone, come after me!"

…

The top of the hills.

The death cavalry raised their horses and whipped, and the war horses began to speed up. Various stimulating drugs have been injected into their blood vessels. Metabolism and hormone secretion are intensifying, making the war horses more aggressive and fierce. These biochemical horsemen without body hair and tails Hot steam began to spurt from the beast's nose.

“Boom, boom, boom…”

The ground began to tremble.

The tremors became more severe.

In the stronghold not far away, the technician boys who were busy were stunned, subconsciously stopped their work, and looked up over the fence.

The sun shines on the gray chrome-plated plastic steel breastplates of the death cavalry, and the reflection is slightly dim. A row of hunting spears and lances are raised high, and the flags are flying.

"Wow!"

It was the farts who exploded in an instant.

They dropped the ropes and parts in their hands one after another and scurried in all directions in a panic, like a group of headless flies. They allowed themselves to be whipped by the whips of the orc overseers. The vibrations of the earth were transmitted along the soles of their feet into the hearts of the grants, and they could not wait to organize their defenses. , these low-level Ork creatures have collapsed first.

"Xia Mi, Xiami is here!"

One of the orcs opened his mouth and shouted, and the technician boys grabbed all the weapons at hand, from boom guns to machetes, and even wrenches, crowbars, and screwdrivers.

However, before they were ready, Li Hanxing took the lead, leaping over the low fence with his horse, and stepped hard on the orc's chest with sharp horse hooves as big as a human head.

"Bang!"

The strong orc's chest collapsed, his ribs were broken, and his internal organs were crushed. He died immediately. The death cavalry behind him followed the company commander and rushed into the stronghold, trampling the fence to pieces.

Li Hanxing raised the tip of the gun in his hand, and instead of using a hunting spear, he controlled the war horse to hit the orc blocking the way in front of him. The plastic steel armor fixed on the forehead of the war horse knocked the person blocking the way away, and at the same time, he "punched" "Pang Rang" led a group of boys to overthrow.

Sporadic gunshots rang out, and bullets hit the war horses, splattering clouds of blood. However, these biochemical riding beasts seemed to have no pain and were still charging forward.

It wasn't until he rushed in front of the ancient giant that Li Hanxing lowered his body and pressed down the hunting spear. The tip of the spear struck hard on the joints of the steel statue. The promethium tank under the tip of the hot-melt spear sprayed out an extremely compressed yellow flame jet, knocking the hinges apart. Melted together with the gear!

"Crack...crunch..."

The half-finished ancient giant tilted his body.

Li Hanxing threw down the disposable hunting spear, rolled over to avoid the incoming chain axe, pulled out the laser pistol from his waist, and raised his hand to shoot. The death cavalry behind them followed suit and thrust their hunting spears at the ancient giant garbage. Amidst the continuous explosions of plasma spear points and hot melt spear points, the steel giant collapsed to the ground.

Smoke and dust filled the stronghold, and the death cavalry descended one after another. The shacks, rags, and garbage prevented them from galloping as much as they wanted, so they could only draw their sabers and pistols to fight.

Fortunately, the popularity of the orcs has collapsed...

Li Hanxing was thinking in his heart.

The biochemical riding beast under its crotch had already lowered its head and bit into the corpse of a snotling. It chewed the flattened little green skin and then swallowed it into its belly. The broad chest of the war horse was full of large and small pits of flesh and blood. Blood trickled down the horse's legs.

"Waaaagh—"

An angry roar interrupted Li Hanxing's thoughts.

The smoke slowly dissipated.

Li Hanxing suddenly turned his head and looked around. The entire stronghold was already surrounded by densely packed orc cavalry. Under his crotch was a red-skinned Scurge war pig. On his back was a green snake war flag that was different from the Xieri clan. They had evil smiles on their faces, holding exaggerated killing saws and power claws with flashing electric arcs in their hands, and looked at the death cavalry with evil intentions.

There are even giant squig beasts that are as big as a hill, carrying huge cannons and carriages, and wearing thick armor.

Snakebite clan!

When did they come?

Under the gas mask, Li Hanxing's face was pale.

The most powerful hunting spears have all been used up, leaving only ordinary sabers and laser pistols. What can the death cavalry use to fight the war pig cavalry of the Snakebite clan?

"Hey Hey……"

The leader of the orc cavalry came riding the pig.

This orc is incredibly strong, equipped with an iron jaw, a hard shell, and a squiggly leather armor. Under its crotch is a white skoog dragon. It smiles as it walks, and opens its mouth to reveal a set of yellowed fangs. He muttered in half-baked low Gothic:

"Crush the shrimps into pieces and use your head as a chamber pot!"

"All the shrimps will die, and the land will be filled with plasma!"

Li Hanxing took a deep breath, ignored the orc boss's verbal taunts, drew his saber, raised it in the air, and shouted in a low voice:

"Death Troopers, assemble!"

In the stronghold, all the remaining death cavalry formed a circle and gathered around Li Hanxing, with their heads facing the outside in unison.

Facing the death cavalry's trapped beasts, the orc boss showed no fear at all. He continued to take a few steps forward, raised the chain ax in his hand, pointed at Li Hanxing's head, and said:

"Boss Xiami, lean and dry, I want to..."

"Uh-huh!"

In the shed next to the orc boss, a black shadow flashed out in an instant. The lightning claws in his hand thrust upwards, and the four sharp and long claws wrapped in the disintegrating force field pierced the orc boss's iron chin and hard shell. , emerging from the Tianling Gai.

! ! ? ?

The death troopers were stunned.

The orc cavalry were also stunned.

Satfalan withdrew his lightning claws, turned to look at Li Hanxing, who had a dull look on his face, and said lightly:

"I'm here to capture prisoners, what are you here to do?"

"Come to die?"

Before Li Hanxing could answer, the roar of engines and the roar of the sky were heard in the sky, "Whoosh -", five jet motorcycles passed over the orc stronghold, and several stasis bombs were dropped.

"boom--"

The time-dilated light group locked several orcs in it.

At the top of the hills around the stronghold, several war horses climbed up the ridge one after another, carrying guard soldiers dressed as nomads on their backs. They held hunting spears in their hands and looked down at the orc stronghold at the foot of the mountain. Then, more and more cavalry appeared on the ridge, forming a new ridge, densely packed with black heads...

Tariha raised his hunting spear with one hand and shouted loudly:

"Attila Barbarian Cavalry!"

"Bluff! Ha!"

Three thousand people roared like a roaring mountain and a tsunami.

"Follow me and charge!"

"Warhammer 40,000: Mount and Blade"
