"After considering various comprehensive factors, I think... although the combination chosen by God is strange, maybe it is the best?"

"Huh? Are you sure that one Blood Crow and a few chemical dogs are the best choice? These two regiments are both 'famous' in the empire. Who among the orthodox regiments would not be on guard when seeing these two companies?"

Hearing that Ji Jing actually suggested leaving this important task to him, the Divine Chosen immediately protested.

"Don't mention it, it's true - it's because these two groups are famous that they are less likely to be suspected of contacting them with some mission - can the blood crows and chemical dogs appear in this abandoned hive world? In distress?"

Liang Feifan clapped his hands vigorously, saying that things are wonderful, that's it. Seeing the other hammer guys looking "feeling sad", the God of Choice could only twitch when he knew that this big job had indeed fallen on him. The corners of his mouth protested.

"So, you guys have to come up with a more reliable explanation for my plight? No matter what, the Astartes won't believe me if I don't have a reliable reason, right?"

"Isn't that simple? Blood Ravens and Chemical Dogs are both very cheap groups. Just say that you encountered unknown things while fighting in a certain place."

The eggs were thrown quickly for a very Warhammer-specific reason. Naturally, the corners of the Chosen God's mouth twitched more and more after hearing this obviously flawed reason.

"Don't you think that this reason will cause my chess piece to be locked up directly? When it comes to the matter of disorderly teleportation in the subspace, who among the eight hundred serious Astartes group can't guard against it?"

"No, I think the Astartes we want to contact may not be able to guard against this. Or they are not qualified to guard against this - the biggest reason is that they themselves are all just from Asia. The way I look like I'm lost in space, don't talk about my second brother - I might have a problem, can you guarantee that there will be no problem with you?"

Abathur's words made the corners of the Chosen Man's mouth soothed. Of course, he still had some concerns.

"What if they see me and open fire without saying a word?"

"——Even one Astartes with several mortals is afraid of them, which means they may really have a big problem. We immediately struck hard, and the Imperial Guards went down to hold them down, and then the Gray Knights checked them one by one."

Liang Feifan answered quickly.

"It seems...that's it? OK, I'll take care of this - Liang Feifan, for the sake of safety, do you and Abathur's chess pieces fall slightly closer to me?"

"Okay, we'll give it to you

Sweeping array. "

5. Meeting with the ‘Blood Crow’.

Ruins, yellow sand, flags waving in the dry wind, an observation tower that is at least two stories high, a defense line that looks like a fence built with a variety of messy but sturdy materials, and a messy structure pulled between the buildings. line.

This is the territory of a wasteland tribe. This is a place where some abandoned hive equipment is still working tenaciously. This is an area where some people left on this forgotten planet live stubbornly. The tribe named Broken Rock composed of these remnants has been entrenched here for hundreds of years - every day, the members of the tribe basically follow their lifestyle and do their best in this wasteland that can barely provide them with protection. Live with all your strength - the weaker members will try their best to move within the control of the tribe and do some simple things, while the stronger members will continue to work together after the tribe's chief elder evaluates that the tribe can withstand the loss of completely losing him. An expedition team of at least five people will be formed to go to the depths of the yellow sand to find precious relics scattered in this world - most of them returned without success, a few never came back, and a very small number , will return to the tribe with valuable things and become the hero of the tribe - of course, these valuable things will generally not bring much change to the tribe. In most cases, they will only make the tribe Life is a little bit better.

However, today, an expedition team from the tribe brought back some very different "things" to the tribe.

"Is this where your tribe is?"

Looking at the ruins at the end of the dunes in the distance, which were obviously an abandoned hive city, or even part of the hive city where they were rummaging through things just now, Daken used the auspicious instrument to briefly judge the biological activities inside. He turned to look at the young man named Yong Dalim next to him, waiting for his answer - ever since he caught this young man, his face was full of love for machinery. After showing off the skills that a servant of Ohm Messiah should possess, this young man directly became his follower - or something even more extreme. Therefore, when Daken asked who could take them to find more people, it was already clear that his group would definitely not be able to fight Yongdalimhao, who was as powerful and wise as these mythical gods. He did not hesitate to become the 'big brother' and 'betrayed' the location of his tribe.

"Yes, my lord."

Yongdalim answered Daken's question in the calmest voice possible, and tried hard to control himself from looking at Daken's body. After receiving Yongdalim's answer, Daken immediately communicated with him in the communication channel. His teammates started discussing.

"Obviously, the descendants of these people who do not know why they chose to stay in this world have not only forgotten the glory of the Emperor, but have also returned to the wilderness - Daken, I doubt how much they can provide to our chapter. help."

Before Daken could speak, a technical sergeant took the lead and expressed his opinion.

"But they still have some inheritance, although it must be broken - they are not members of the wild world in the true sense."

Another technical sergeant opened his mouth and expressed a completely different point of view than the technical sergeant who first spoke.

"While it is true that some of them must understand some of the ways of the Ohm Messiah, training them is very risky."

Another tech sergeant offered his opinion.

"We should contact the Chapter Commander. This matter is too important and is not something we technical sergeants can make decisions about."

A certain technical sergeant with the latest qualifications hesitated to speak. At the same time, he also felt a deep helplessness in his heart. The lack of supplies stumped the heroic man. With the Sword of Hatred, there was no room for error in this situation, and he even contacted a group of mortal tribes. All have become operations that require caution.

"What you said makes sense. My brothers, the Chapter Master has given me authorization. He allows us to contact those mortals within the threshold range and evaluate them - as long as they can meet the most basic qualifications. , the chapter leader will come and recruit them."

"Isn't this a bit..."

Hearing what Daken said about the chapter leader, the technical sergeant who was the first to speak showed a clear sense of confusion in his tone.

"There's nothing we can do, we lack everything, Brother Krade."

——————————The Sword of Hatred goes to the tribe————————

Women fetching water from a well.

A man carrying various materials for work.

A strong man who patrols with weapons and is a little wary of his group, but not very wary.

and curious children who poked their heads out from every corner to look at their group.

In fact, although he 'persuaded' Yong Dalim of the Broken Rock Tribe to lead the way for him and his party, Daken still retains a considerable degree of vigilance towards this wasteland tribe - on the one hand, this vigilance is due to worries about this unknown wasteland tribe. The earth tribe itself might be excommunicated and rebellious that the empire would not tolerate. On the other hand, he knew very well that for a mortal tribe that did not understand the existence of the empire, warriors like them originally represented a threat. He had to consider how to deal with it. Contact the mortal leaders of this tribe to gain their trust - under normal circumstances, the Swords of Hatred Chapter would probably send a message directly to the attached

The mortal troops or members of the state religion who are currently responsible for this area will help handle the first half of the matter. They only need the second half of the assessment. But now, when they really have to rely on themselves for everything, there are too many things to think about.

However?

"Strange, these mortals seem a little surprised by our appearance, but don't have too many other reactions?"

Before Daken could tell other battle brothers to be alert in the communication channel, a technical sergeant spoke first.

"Yes, this proves that the people in this tribe have seen the Astartes and have a little understanding of the Astartes, even if it is wrong - but the person who brought us here has definitely never seen it - this is unusual, keep it up alert."

Daken nodded slightly and agreed with his battle brothers. At this moment, they had already walked into the main road of the Broken Rock Tribe under the leadership of Yong Dalim. There was something inside for a long distance ahead. The Astartes could see everything with their superhuman vision - in an instant, Daken knew why the people of this tribe were only surprised by their arrival.

Because, under a house in the distance, he saw a figure wearing red power armor, holding something, and talking to several mortals whose style of painting was obviously different from that of the people of this wasteland tribe. ——After zooming in, Daken couldn't help but complain in the communication channel.

"Blood Crow...???"

6. Conversation between Daken and God’s Chosen

Now that the Empire has carried out the establishment of the Astartes Army many times, how many Astartes Chapters does the Empire have in total?

In fact, even the High Lords Council would find it difficult to give an accurate answer to this question. Because except for some army-building behaviors that are indeed necessary, other army-building behaviors more or less have some additional political purposes or worse things. This left many of the Empire's Astartes Chapters in a state of physical data loss from the time of their founding, and then completely lost their origins after the true insiders disappeared into the galaxy, becoming Imperial Astartes Chapters. A "black house" in some sense.

Generally speaking, the lives of these Astartes with unknown origins are always more difficult than those with unknown origins - because when they encounter problems, it is difficult to find someone willing to pay a lower price. The big forces that helped them supported them. At the same time, they couldn't find their origins and it was difficult to find suitable allies in the Empire's Astartes sequence. These two most direct problems subsequently led to the emergence of these Astartes of unknown origin. There are more chain problems - for example, always receiving bad missions, for example, never getting good supplies, for example...

In short, no one loves a child without a father.jpg.

However, there are always exceptions. Among the Astartes Chapters with unknown origins, the Blood Ravens are an extremely outrageous exception. In fact, compared with most Astartes Chapters with unknown origins, the Blood Ravens can be said to have an unknown origin among the unknown ones, because this Astartes Chapter did not even know when it was founded, let alone who its parent chapter was.

In addition, in addition to not knowing its parent chapter and the time of its founding, the mutation of the gene seed of the Blood Ravens Chapter has long been determined and has been recorded by the Empire. In addition to the problem of this gene seed, the Blood Ravens Chapter also produces think tanks for God knows what reason - in fact, in some dark rumors, the parent chapter of the Blood Ravens directly points to an Astartes Legion that has already rebelled against the Empire. If the people in the Empire who really know that chapter did not know that the gene seed of that chapter could never give birth to ordinary Astartes, the Blood Ravens would have been isolated and examined long ago.

However, these problems are not all the problems of the Blood Ravens. Perhaps because they felt that their regiment was not "attracting the attention of the Empire" enough, one of their think tank chiefs even made a big move and signed a contract with the Blood God Khorne, almost sending the entire Blood Ravens into the hands of the Chaos Powers. If it were not for the third captain at the time who tried his best to prevent things from getting completely out of control and gave the Blood Ravens the opportunity to have an atonement expedition, the current Blood Ravens would have been annihilated in the long river of Imperial history.

However, the Blood Ravens grew bigger despite so many DEBUFFs! And they grew so big that a bunch of start-up regiments frowned! Indeed, as an Astartes regiment, compared with the combat power horizontally, the Blood Ravens can only be regarded as compliant among the Imperial Astartes regiments. Although there are many think tanks, compared with those large regiments, the number is just so-so. However, because of the persistent desire to find the past of their own regiment, the Blood Ravens pointed out a very peculiar talent, which is...

Finding dragon points (wrong)!

With the support of this ability, which can be said to be unique among the Imperial factions of the Astartes, the Blood Crows quickly reached a strategic partnership with a series of Imperial bosses who had such needs, such as the Adeptus Mechanicus. In one expedition after another, they brought back many extremely valuable relics for these bosses. The Blood Crows, who proved their ability, received more commissions - not limited to expeditions in special areas, hoping that the Blood Crows could go to a certain area and bring back something, and in extreme cases, there were tasks such as suppressing a certain area and taking away something - for these tasks, the Blood Crows always completed them very well, sometimes even too well, so well that the Empire is still unsure what is in the Blood Crows' holy relic warehouse!

"Why are there people from the Blood Ravens in this world? Is there something so incredible on this planet that requires these guys to go out?"

Although the Sword of Hatred itself is in the lower middle and almost bottom of the Imperial Astartes sequence, this does not mean that the Astartes of the Sword of Hatred have not heard of the Blood Ravens, a somewhat special Astartes. Unlike most Astartes, the Blood Ravens often appear in places where there are key relics or holy objects or even more outrageous things waiting for these Astartes who are good at finding them to recover, and these things mean huge trouble. With the current state of the Sword of Hatred, once it is involved in such a situation, it is afraid that it will not be...

No! Such a situation means that the Empire may have troops nearby, and the Empire's troops nearby means supplies, which means that their own chapter has a way to get in touch with the Empire. This means that no matter how bad it is, it is a good choice for his own regiment to shamelessly ask the Blood Ravens for something under the pretext of assisting in the battle. Even if the regiment leader is too embarrassed, he, as a technical sergeant, can ask for something under the pretext of providing services. After all, compared to the fact that the regiment is about to count bombs and live a life that is a luxury, it is still the worst possible situation!

Daken, who sorted out a series of things in his mind in an instant, became eager behind his helmet. After instructing his battle brothers in the communication channel, he immediately strode towards the God of Choice who was analyzing the things on hand with his chess piece, using the Blood Raven chess piece as a descending body, with the special ability of "appraising treasures".

"Blood Raven Battle Brother, I'm glad to see you in this desolate place!"

——————————————The Chosen One is confused——————————————————————

"So... you fell into this abandoned Hive World by 'accident'?"

Although he was startled by Daken who suddenly rushed to his side and was very familiar with him, the Chosen One, who had accumulated rich experience as a veteran of the Raven Guard, quickly got into the state, found the best solution to the current situation in the script discussed by the Hammers, and started chatting with the technical sergeant of the Sword of Hate. Soon, under the influence of the information revealed intentionally or unintentionally by the Chosen One, Daken successfully made up the story that the Blood Raven Company where the Chosen One was, together with other brothers Astartes and a large number of mortal troops, was recovering a very critical relic on a certain planet under the arrangement of the Inquisition. Because the mysterious relic was accidentally activated by the collision of the conflicting parties, the Blood Raven Battle Brother and some mortals around him were thrown into this shitty world.

"Yes - I am trying to contact other people. Judging from the behavior of the relic when it was activated, there may be other people who were also sent to this desolate world. Suppose the relic spreads wider, even possible....."

Although the Chosen One did not finish what he said, Daken still managed to wrap his mind around what the Chosen One said. Before he could speak, the Chosen One spoke again.

"I have said my things. Now, it is your turn to answer my question. Battle brothers of the Sword of Hatred, why do you appear in this world?"

"We...were lost in the subspace for a long time before returning to the real universe from the Mandeville Point near this galaxy. Our ship can no longer sustain the next subspace voyage, so we can only try to find it in this world. Some supplies to see if we can repair our flagship - frankly speaking, this is very difficult, many key parts are impossible to have in this abandoned hive world. "

When he said this, there was a hint of frustration in Daken's tone that was difficult to detect. And he probably understood why the Astartes, the Sword of Hatred, leaned towards him so enthusiastically at the beginning. His mind moved a little, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"I can't see it. According to my experience, this world must be a treasure house that has not yet been discovered."

7. Suggestions from God’s Choice

This is a world far removed from the glory of the Empire.

When Inquisitor Orogan and his bodyguards set foot on the abandoned hive numbered five on the planet Minost 1, high on a piece of metal ground that had not been completely swallowed by the wind and sand, they looked at the long stretch of water that spread to the horizon. There was no trace of emotion on the yellow sand and Furui Muha's face - there was no doubt that this world was dead in the sense of the empire, but this did not mean that the emperor had no control over the world.

"Master, we have determined that there are no humanoid activities within a radius of one hundred kilometers from our current location as the center."

"Very good, inform the person in charge to establish our first temporary supply point here. Then, we will move along this route towards the ruins of Nest City No. 4."

Hearing the voice of the servant of the information ringing in his ears, the Orogan Tribunal recovered his thoughts and began to issue orders in an orderly manner - even though the Astartes strike cruisers of the Sword of Hatred were anchored in Mi Among the mess of things on the outer route of Noster 1, the high-ranking inquisitor did not find any trace. However, the inquisitor who followed the traces of their ship to this abandoned hive world still believed that Knowing that this world is where he will fulfill his final duties, he made a series of arrangements - establishing several temporary footholds in this world was only the first step. Next, he would do more things to ensure that The empire will not be destroyed by anything born in this world

Threatened by evil.

Well, although this high-ranking judge didn't know that in the ruins behind him, there were four beings who would make his heart stop when he saw them, and they were secretly observing him in all directions. What's more, in a certain tribe in this world, a 'shady' deal between two Astartes warbands is going on.

——————————————The meeting between the Sword of Hatred and the Chosen God————————————————————

"...To sum up, the abandonment process in this hive city world is most likely not a normal abandonment process, but an emergency abandonment process. Therefore, there must be a large number of valuable materials in various abandoned hive cities in this hive city world. Resources can be found. For example, the mediocre metal plate I have on hand is made of fine gold alloy. Although it is a bit inferior to the serious fine gold, you technical sergeants should know its value better than I do. ”

In the main tent of the Broken Rock Tribe, the leader of the Sword of Hatred Chapter, Agost, who had arrived here, was sitting face to face with the Divine Chosen, listening to the Blood Raven Ass who claimed to be good at finding supplies in impossible places. Tate's advice - Although at the beginning, Igust only communicated with Blood Crow because he was really good at finding various relics, but now, he has come up with several valuable things in succession in God's Choice. , and after presenting several pieces of evidence, he was 80% convinced that the Blood Crow did have this ability.

“Is this hive world really ‘emergency abandoned’?”

Daken, who was sitting next to his Chapter Master, repeatedly browsed the evidence presented by the Chosen One, then raised his head and looked at the Blood Ravens Battle Brother who seemed a bit too "careless" compared to most of the battle brothers. And the adamantine alloy metal plate he was playing with in his hand - if this adamantine plate was in his hand, it could be used to repair some of the key damage on the battleship. If conditions permit, he can also transform it into parts, so that it can be applied to more places.

"I can't guarantee it, brother. I'm just expressing my own judgment - there are definitely more resources in this world than you see. What you need is just someone who can lead you to find him."

Although the information on hand actually comes from the data that Big E pulled from the empire, Big E is a little confused about the specific situation of this galaxy. Therefore, God's Chosen still chose to answer Daken in an 'ambiguous' way. After receiving this answer, Daken didn't say much. He just nodded, turned slightly to the side, and started a discussion with his chapter leader and other high-level leaders of the chapter using the group's internal channel.

"Do we really want to believe this Blood Raven?"

"The Astartes are all battle brothers. Besides, this Bloodraven brother has no reason to lie to us."

"But believing his words means that we must explore the world according to his arrangements. This may not be a source of risk - although the reputation of the Blood Ravens Chapter is not bad, the Blood Ravens are famous for their curiosity."

"We don't have much choice now. We are in urgent need of supplies - since this battle brother of Blood Raven is confident that he can help us in this regard, why should we temporarily follow his command in this regard?"

"Necessary preparations and prevention work still need to be done."

In the communication channel of the Sword of Hatred, the senior leaders of the Sword of Hatred discussed for five minutes whether to listen to the advice of this Blood Raven, although several of them were opposed to listening to the advice of an outside battle brother. The commander had quite a few complaints, but facing the current situation where the chapter was so poor that even in the warehouse there was no room for more intense encounters, these Astartes men still made the decision to "give this Blood Ravens battle brother a try" Not a reliable decision.

"Battle brother of Blood Raven, please."

"I will handle it."

Hearing that the chapter leader with the Sword of Hatred in front of him finally made the decision to explore this deserted world with him, the God of Choice immediately became energetic. He took out more evidence from the pocket at hand and handed it over to Igust asked him to take him back to ease the hearts of the other battle brothers of the Sword of Hatred, while activating Hammer Man's communication channel.

"Okay, I have initially gained their trust. Next, there is the issue of supplies - are you ready?"

"No problem, we have prepared a batch of special Astartes rations, a semi-warehouse of explosive bombs, a lot of melta grenades, and a few small vehicles - you start setting off over there, and I will send you engine oil over here. Go where you want to take them and stuff them into the warehouses that are still functioning."

While Egg was making preparations to deliver his Oil Man's chess piece, he assured the God of Choice that everything was ready, waiting for him to lead his people to dig it out - as for whether the Sword of Hatred would pay attention to why there happened to be Asta in this world. Something special?

The Hammers feel that as long as the Chapter Master of the Astartes Chapter is a normal pragmatist, he will definitely not delve into it - besides, the current situation of his Chapter does not allow him to delve into it.

"OK! Remember to repair the warehouse, too many flaws are not good!"

8. The ‘Blood Crow’ who leads the team

Yongdalim never expected that he would have such an experience.

Although he is young, he is also a senior explorer of the Broken Rock Tribe. He has been crawling and crawling in various uninhabited areas for nearly ten years. Yongdalim is used to seeing all kinds of things.

Such a deadly ancient trap, I have tasted the despair of the yellow sand sky, I have persisted for two days and three nights with only a little water until I found the camp, I have also struggled in the lightless ruins maze for dozens of days until I finally came back. Seeing the light of the sky - in Yongdalim's opinion, it is absolutely dangerous to explore the unknown world - especially in the huge metal ruins where the ancestors lived. The seemingly flat ground will suddenly have pits and magnificent arches. There may be a bottomless crack at the end, and the room filled with supplies may be full of traps. In short, exploration has never been an easy job.

However, under the leadership of these "god-like warriors" he met, exploring the ancient ruins suddenly turned into a job no more difficult than piling rocks in the tribal camp. Although the roads are complicated and mostly covered with yellow sand, even though deadly traps often appear on the walls, and even though those terrifying secret doors still appear in key places from time to time, the powerful warrior who leads the team always fails. Everyone seemed to have predicted their appearance, and then used precise and exquisite methods to avoid them, or use them to find a secret door or secret passage through which people could pass. As a result, they have been marching into the ruins for almost five days now. , the entire team was shocked that no one was lost!

"Brother Battle, you are too skilled at this."

In fact, not only the strong men of the Broken Rock Tribe, represented by Yongdalim, who were recruited by the Sword of Hatred Chapter to help move things, felt this way, but even Igust, who was with the team himself, couldn't help it. He spoke this sentence in the communication channel - as an Astartes, Igust knew very well that the Imperial Hive was a thing with a map. Finding the right direction was not an easy task, let alone The hive they are currently exploring is a hive area that has been abandoned for God knows how many years, with no data available at all. The difficulty of finding the 'correct' road in such a bad place, Igust thinks, is estimated. No less than the Ministry of Military Affairs’ supplies delivered on time! According to Igust's experience, if they were simply allowed to explore the ruins of this hive city with the Sword of Hatred, they would probably still be wandering around the outermost area like they were in another pile of ruins until now, collecting some useful information. But what about ordinary gadgets with very limited uses!

However, this battle brother of Blood Raven and the few Astra Militarum soldiers called Safra Chemical Dogs around him felt as if they had returned home when they ran into the ruins of the hive city! Whether it is finding a way, disarming a threat device that is still running, or finding something valuable from the corners and throwing it on the trailer, they can complete it very smoothly, and even have free time to give pointers. Looking at other mortals - after they actually took out an old laser gun from a place that looked like a sewer, the Astartes of the Sword of Hatred no longer doubted the professionalism of the Chosen One.

"This gun machine soul has been dormant for a long time, but as long as it goes through the appropriate rituals, it can be awakened - I think this is a good sign."

Daken said this after inspecting the laser gun.

"This is really a good start."

Agost also felt a little excited. It is true that now their team has found a lot of scattered gadgets that can be used to repair battleships or be used in other aspects. However, those gadgets can only be regarded as substitutes. Strictly speaking, they are used for those things. Things are a bit illegal. However, this turned-out laser gun—even though it is old-fashioned, has a silent machine soul, and has no magazine—proves that in this world, it is really possible to have normal supplies that can be preserved!

"This is just part of the surprises around here, and I'm sure there are even bigger surprises waiting for us deeper into the area."

He was quickly reading the rough map provided by Big E floating in front of him, a 3D three-dimensional image formed by combining the special treasure-hunting ability of his descended Blood Crow chess piece with the search ability of the Chemical Dog chess piece linked to him. The God of Treasure Hunting Map clicked on the area closest to him that was 'suspected of having recyclable resources' and pulled out a line heading to that place. At the same time, he looked at the egg-stuffed area that was being replenished with the corner of his eye. The location of the warehouse - well, at this rate, they will be able to find the warehouse early tomorrow morning at the latest, and then give the Astartes of the Sword of Hatred a big surprise.
