Stars for the good Warhammer

"War is cruel. In the blink of an eye, a originally rich planet can become impoverished."

In the crew quarters of the "Bed of the Dead", Gerald was holding a cigar he had just won from a Cadian soldier in his mouth, staring at the good deck of cards in his hand, with almost a smile on his face. Almost reaching the sky.

"For example, when I was still serving in the Thirteenth Regiment, our superiors sent us to an industrial world to suppress a cult rebellion. By the time we arrived, the local sector government had already called for the Sintila Fusiliers and Two Astra Militarum troops, the Safra Chemical Dogs, came to help, and later even the Blood Ravens Space Marines arrived on the scene."

After saying that, Gerald randomly picked up a card from the card bank on the side. When he realized that it was not the one he wanted, he stuffed the card into his sleeve with quick eyesight and quick hands when no one around him was paying attention. Then he replaced one and continued talking as if nothing had happened.

"It is said that this small rebellion set back the development of their planet for more than two hundred years. After the war was over, the governor sent us away in tears."

However, at this moment, the soldier sitting across from the card table could not help but complain.

"Wait a minute. I have an impression of what you are talking about. How did I hear that your Consquette people took advantage of the chaos and joined forces with the other two legions to rob each other? And the girls who were stationed in the town suffered. It is said that After your people leave, there will be thousands more newborns without fathers."

"Robbery? Our Thirteenth Regiment is a conscientious person. At most we only get a little due reward. As for impregnating girls, don't look at me. It's most likely done by the men of Sintila. of."

Soon, under the suspicious eyes of everyone, Gerald spread out the straight cards in his hand on the card table with a smirk on his face, and then shook the last card in his hand in a high-key manner. .

"Guys, it looks like I've won again~ To tell you the truth, when I was in the Thirteenth Regiment, even Captain Lust had never beaten me in poker."

Having said this, Gerald looked at the combat rations and two bottles of fine wine that had been collected for many years stacked in the center of the card table with a proud look. In order to pass the boring time during the mission, he and Cady, who came with him on the mission, Anren made up the game, and now it is his eighth consecutive victory.

"You guys are definitely cheating, right?!"

"Maybe I just got a little lucky."

As the words fell, Gerald couldn't wait to reach out and pick up a bottle of red wine from the table, but the Qadian on the side suddenly spoke and stopped him.

"Wait a minute, the big guy hasn't played his cards yet."

Having said this, everyone present couldn't help but glance at the big man on the other side of the card table. They saw that the other person was holding a deck of cards with his fingers, holding the cards in front of his eyes and looking at them blankly for a long time.

"Speaking of which, you are so damn wicked. When you couldn't get four people together, you dragged an Ogryn to play cards with you. Aren't you bullying others? I guess he doesn't even know what cards he has. "

However, faced with the contempt of the Cadian people, Gerald didn't seem to care.

"Hey, big man, stop looking, put down the cards and scatter the canned meat in your hand. You will definitely not be able to beat me."

However, before he could finish his words, the big man suddenly shouted excitedly like a big child.

"Hey! There are two Emperors on my card! I thought I won!"

As he spoke, the Ogryn man slapped the cards in his hand on the table with excitement and looked at the bomb in his opponent's hand. At this moment, Gerald fell silent.

As for the surrounding Cadians, their jaws almost dropped on the card table, and they were unable to say a word for a long time.

For a moment, when Turalyon walked into the crew quarters, for some reason the originally lively room fell into silence. Almost everyone was looking at the Ogryns feasting on the side with expressions of self-doubt, like Got some kind of heavy blow.

"Get ready guys, we're almost there."

Hearing this, Gerald, who was leaning against the wall, glanced out the window helplessly, trying to forget the fact that he had lost to the big man in three consecutive card games not long ago.

At this moment, the spacecraft has sailed out of the hyperspace channel and arrived near the planet's orbit.

——Karen.

That is exactly the name of the planet in front of them. According to the information provided by Lord Otto, the lost technology they are looking for on this trip is somewhere on this planet.

In order to facilitate the execution of tasks throughout the galaxy, today's Bed of the Dead has been completely reborn, and with the blessing of a large number of new technologies, it has become an experimental-level scientific research ship.

It is equipped with a brand new scanning and command system, and more importantly, it also carries a very active "machine soul" inside the ship, but Gerald and the Cardians on the ship are not fools either.

Because no matter how you look at it, it looks more like an AI, or you can call it a hateful intelligence.

There is no doubt that these so-called new technologies are assisted by the Ashes Alliance. The Alliance is using a large number of technologies that are tabooed by the empire. By now, this has almost become an open fact.

Some interstellar chapters had regarded this as a violation of the Emperor's will, and tried to organize a spontaneous crusade against the Ash Alliance. However, under the arguments of the Primarch Guilliman and the Archmagos Caul, after a series of After a long debate, the Mars Parliament, which finally represented the authority, defined the technology used by the alliance as [Talking Machine Soul], and then barely suppressed those who tried to cause trouble.

"In addition, I have just made contact with Karen's orbital platform. The other party claimed that almost the entire planet of Karen has fallen into turmoil. The local miners launched a rebellion. As the number of people gathered more and more, they have now The governor's troops were trapped in the nest."

Hearing this, Gerald and others present did not have much reaction. After all, the most indispensable thing in the entire galaxy right now is turmoil and war.

This is also the reason why since the Pharos Lighthouse in Haven was lit, countless people would rather risk their lives to pass through the blockade of the Chaos Alien Fleet to go to Haven.

"Do we still need to help the local counter-insurgency work?"

"So? Are they cultists or..."

However, Gerald's words only just fell.

"No, according to the local defenders, there is a high probability that the real leader of this rebellion is an iron man."

"What???"

"Could it be the one that Lord Otto asked us to find?"
