Warhammer 40K! The Queen of Glory for Hammer Guys

"There's a roar——"

"Huha, I'm alive..."

Zhu Yangai slumped down on his seat in a very bad posture, with bottles of various drinks scattered on the floor under him. Several servo skulls were helping the hammer guy clean up the mess. Just now, when Zhu Yan changed her identity as a wolf group chess piece and drank the wolf wine that was actually produced based on the memory of the Glory Queen, the terrifying feeling that could not be described in normal words directly overcame her. Zhu Yangai stopped descending and climbed back to the Queen of Glory. Then she ordered a lot of drinks and finally succeeded in suppressing the strange taste in her mouth.

"...If you have to be curious about the taste of a wave of wolf wine, everyone else has obviously warned you."

Looking at Zhu Yangai, who had a feeling of "decline" in his whole body, Redler couldn't help but cover his forehead with his hands - after joining the "Curse-bound High Lord Organization", Redler, as a newcomer, Naturally, they learned from Liang Feifan and the others. Based on the fact that they are colleagues and comrades-in-arms, Liang Feifan and the others did not hide certain subtle things from the newcomers. However, Zhu Yangai was stunned because he knew that there was a tiger in the mountain!

"As a Space Wolf player, why don't you try wolf wine when you have the opportunity - um...why do I feel that the taste is coming back?"

The next moment he said the word wolf wine, the bad memories just now flooded into his mind, making Zhu Yangai almost retching again - fortunately, Zhu Yangai still had some normal delicacies at hand that he had not finished eating just now. , helped this curious hammer man successfully suppress that feeling again.

"Is wolf wine really so powerful? I think the information they collected on wolf wine at that time was... well, let's not mention this word for now, let's study how to fight this wave."

Because Zhu Yangai's performance just now was indeed too exaggerated, the technical sergeant major couldn't help but wonder what the taste of this famous Warhammer 40K drink that could defeat the Hammer across dimensions was. However, after realizing that he had said Wolf Wine This word will make Zhu Yangai's psychological trauma that was not easy to heal open a crack, the technical sergeant immediately changed the topic.

"Considering the size of the opposing fleet and the number of Tau Empire chess pieces we have on hand, in order to ensure the highest success rate for this operation, the use of Titanium chess pieces to infiltrate and decapitate operations can only be used in the final stage after fully confirming the position of the opposing commander, and in the previous stage. We'd better use some Astartes chess pieces to do a standard jump gang to seize some Tau warships or reduce their mobility - this can also cover us to stuff the Tau Empire's chess pieces onto their ships without anyone noticing. the behavior of."

After thinking for a while, Redler gave his own opinion, and this idea directly made Zhu Yangai frown.

"I've already told the Weeper to wait and don't move. If we play a standard jump gang without them at the beginning, wouldn't it be bullying by the Astartes?"

"It's not a big problem. They can follow the subsequent Manta chess pieces to jump to the opposite flagship. This is much more glorious than the gang jump that our chess pieces have to do - besides, the weepers may not know that we first jumped before they jumped to the gang. There was a wave of gang-hopping.”

Redler's tone was confident, questions appeared on Zhu Yan's face, and the technical sergeant suddenly realized.

"The plan you mentioned for jumping gangs is to have the melee drones go in and directly project the chess pieces? I thought you said that the standard jumping gang plan is to use some kind of vehicle to hit the T'au Empire's warships!"

"We can't take out the torpedoes now, so of course we can only do it this way - the Tau won't care about this detail anyway - they just need to know that the human Astartes are attacking them. ”

"Doing this won't make the Titanium side suspicious, right? The news we arranged for the Titanium chess pieces to send to the Titanium side is very good!"

Although Redler's words were very reasonable, thinking about the news that the Hammers had arranged for the Tau Empire's chess pieces to be sent to the Tau expedition fleet, Zhu Yangai couldn't help but start to worry about the possibility of being involved in the gang - after all, in the news, the Hammers But there was no mention of the presence of the Imperial Astartes in this world...

"The premise for things to be revealed is that Titanium knows that there is an existence that can almost perfectly impersonate the Titanium race. Now Titanium does not have this intelligence source at all - well, actually it cannot be said that it does not exist, but with Titanium's subspace adaptability, Unless Tzeentch finds a way to talk to them in person, even if Carlos speaks the truth nine times in front of them, I'm afraid the Tau will only hear some noise."

First, he determined, and then he thought that a certain blue soft-bodied unknown creature seemed to have

Starting to peek at the battle, Redler immediately changed his tone of certainty to possibility - after all, it would not be surprising for a Chaos God like Tzeentch to do anything...

"It is indeed possible for Tzeentch to enter the market at a loss just for fun, so we have to make plans to switch to a force attack at any time. But with the few troops we have, if we really attack by force, we can completely eliminate the forward pressure of a Tau expansion fleet. A little bit big..."

Zhu Yangai frowned, and the technical sergeant major shrugged.

"Actually, this problem can be easily solved. If things really show signs of being beyond our control, just ask other people who are free to help - if not, borrow another wave of chess pieces."

"Indeed, then, start arranging the script?"

"Write! This time we are going to make the script even more miserable!"

20. The Weeper——The decisive battle is about to begin

What did you see in your dream just now?

Shiva, who returned to reality from sleep, pushed himself up from his desk with his hands, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

In order to write as much as possible a perfect speech report that can make those humans who choose to follow the Greater Good feel as safe as possible and become a subordinate race of the Tau Empire, it can be said that Shiva has almost done everything except eating and drinking in recent times. All the time other than the necessary sleeping time was spent on compiling this speech, which also made the elder of the Shui family successfully enter a trance due to excessive energy consumption, and had to use some additional medicine to help from time to time. He kept his mind clear - and Shiva had maintained this behavior before his body index alarmed.

Then he had a very strange dream, a dream full of things he didn't know. In the dream, he saw a blue soft thing jumping up and down, mumbling in vague words. He was saying things that he couldn't understand at all. Before he could lean over to listen carefully to what this abnormal-looking thing was saying, a purple-red mist was involved in his dream, and he began to "gesticulate" - okay , and now Shiva is also very surprised as to why he feels that a mass of mist is gesticulating.

Then, the soft blue thing started fighting with the purple mist - well, although it was indeed strange to say this, Shiva's intuition told him that these two things were fighting, and the techniques they used were the same. A completely unclear method - when a red light suddenly shone down in the sky of his dream, Shiva found that his consciousness returned to reality.

"Elder Shiva, we have successfully reunited, and your landing ship and honor guard are also ready."

Just when Shiva wanted to dig into his memory and unearth the messy things he had just dreamed about to see if they were inspirations from his dreams that he had obtained from thinking too much about the Greater Good, one of his The personal guard knocked on his door and respectfully reported something that surprised Shiva to the water caste elder.

"Arrived already?"

Shiva spoke majestically, and at the same time looked at the timer on his desk with the corner of his eye. He was surprised to find that he had overslept - but how could this be possible? Didn’t you decide your rest time?

"Yes, elder."

"Let everyone conduct a final inspection, especially the ceremonial items. For the sake of the greater good, our diplomacy must not make any mistakes this time."

"Understood, elder."

After thinking about it in my mind, I felt that it would be a waste of time to study why I overslept. Besides, Shiva is not a Tau who is not good at accepting surprises. So, Shiva asked his drone to write the latest article he had written. After sorting out the manuscripts, he asked Drone to get his most solemn ceremonial clothes, stood up, cheered up, and walked towards the door.

Stepping towards the most bizarre and last diplomatic action in his life.

——————————The dividing line on the surface of Gibursa 2——————————————————

In full swing.

Be beaming.

At the coordinate point located on Gibulsa Line 2 received by the Council of the Four Tribes of the Titanium, a village that was roughly in human style, but the architectural style of some main areas had been replaced by the Titanium style. The construction was ready, and the flags fluttering in the wind were written with the words "The Greater Good" in rough Tau language. A statue that was a bit crooked but could be barely recognized by those familiar with it as a Tau fire warrior was placed in the center of the village. The metal seal hanging on the wall has various words of welcome written in Tau language. Fire warriors, fully armed and armed with weapons, are patrolling the village under the leadership of the champion of the Tau clan.

Humans, on the other hand, are defenseless.

"This is the Greater Good."

When Shiva took his spaceship and slowly descended to the village, everything that appeared on his screen made the elder of the Water clan narrow his eyes with great pleasure. As a person who often uses his three A diplomat who conveys the message of the Greater Good to all kinds of dangerous alien races with a smooth tongue, Shiva is used to the tactics of those guys who 'believe in the Greater Good first, and then regret it later', and is prepared for the meeting. Psychological preparation for some unfavorable things, however, look at what this village looks like?

Some areas where humans have believed in the Greater Good for a long time are not so great! No! Even some and titanium

No race that has lived for a long time has such a higher good!

And when Shiva got off the spacecraft, he saw several humans wearing Tau costumes, led by the Fire Warrior, holding gift boxes and walking towards him in a neat manner. The elder of the Water Tribe The ecstasy in his heart was even worse, so much so that he couldn't help but want to walk in front of the human holding the gift first - until the box was opened, and the fact that there was nothing in the box was revealed to the water caste. As far as the elders are concerned.

"This box?"

Looking at the empty box in front of him that seemed to have an ominous size and depth, Shiva felt a sense of crisis enveloped his heart. However, after confirming that these humans were being closely guarded by the Fire Warriors, , he was relieved again - so what? These humans are determined not to threaten their lives. At most, Ardern can handle the rest!

"Human, this is not the etiquette of the Greater Good - I believe that your etiquette does not include the custom of sending empty boxes to distinguished guests visiting from afar - therefore, can you please give me a reasonable explanation."

However, out of caution, Shiva secretly asked his guards to target these weird humans. At the same time, he took a small step back to make the relative distance between himself and the humans who gave the gifts safer. Just now He asked in his most standard diplomatic tone - at the same time, his hand was on the emergency button, ready to send out a distress signal at any time.

"Of course this is not a ceremony to welcome distinguished guests. However, it is a ceremony to 'welcome' aliens who do not know whether to live or die."

Before Shiva could prepare for the possibility that things might change, he pressed the well-camouflaged emergency button. Several pulse beams struck the guards he was leading. In the blink of an eye, these were completely unexpected. The warriors of the Tau Empire who were attacked by their compatriots fell to the ground helplessly after sparks flew from their bodies. They twitched a few times and then stopped moving. One of the Tau Fire Warriors even fell to the ground. He took off his helmet, revealing his stern face.

"Ah...ah???"

Something unexpected happened in front of him. Shiva, who had always followed the teachings of the Greater Good, entered a state of stupidity - he wanted to scream, but it seemed as if a large bottle was stuffed into his throat. Like glue, he couldn't make a sound. He wanted to run, but his feet seemed to have taken root and he couldn't move. When the elder of the Water Clan finally put his body back on his When his brain came under control, he found that he was completely surrounded.

"Traitors, you have betrayed the Greater Good - my actions have been transmitted to the flagship in real time. If you surrender now, there is still a way to survive."

Looking around at the Tau warriors surrounding him, Shiva spoke with a sad and angry tone.

"Don't waste your efforts, aliens. We have everything about you. Now, what you see on your ship is the beautiful scene of us gathering together to discuss the Greater Good. Although this video will not be very long, it is enough for us. Do something that will allow us to better eliminate you."

A strange light flashed, and the human standing opposite Shiva put on a set of robes of the Lord of Cadia at an incredible speed. At the same time, the sound of a certain weapon starting to operate also reached Shiva's ears. Center - Realizing what he was about to encounter, Shiva hurriedly tried to move his legs that had regained consciousness. However, the next second, he was kicked to the ground.

"Let's discuss it and lend it a helping hand?"

————————————————The dividing line of the Tau fleet————————————————————

Something is definitely wrong.

If before, Ardern simply thought that "relying on the Greater Good to take down a planet that had chosen to resist the Tau Empire's humans", this was somewhat inconsistent with the history of pioneering operations that he knew, then watching it in real time After seeing Shiva and those humans who had taken refuge in the Greater Good, happily discussing the beautiful scenes of the Greater Good, Ardern concluded one thing.

How is it possible that the concept of a higher good can attract humans to such an extent? Something happened to Shiva!

However, the other two elders who belong to the same council as him obviously do not think so.

"Ardern, we all know that you have some other understandings of the Greater Good. We are not surprised by this, because part of your Fire family's responsibilities itself conflicts with the Greater Good. However, this does not mean that you deny the Greater Good. Reasons why you can sometimes achieve success that guns can’t.”

The elder of the Qi clan shook his head slightly, looking like he disagreed with Ardern.

"We have been closely monitoring Shiva, his warriors and his ship. So far, we have not found anything unusual."

This is what the elder of the Tu clan told Ardern after he clicked on the projection.

"...."

Ardern did not answer, but repeatedly recalled everything in her mind from the time she learned that this galaxy was taken into the hands of the Tau Empire until now. A certain sense of inconsistency in the details danced in Ardern's mind. , these things that seemed harmless at first glance combined into a twisted and fatal possibility - a possibility that made him shudder and violated common sense - if this possibility existed, then all the sense of violation would be With the explanation, however, is this really possible? if it is fact

, doesn’t that mean ether...?

"Shiva is back, let's go meet him."

Just when Ardern was trembling because of a certain guess that popped up in his mind, the scene of Shiva's spaceship returning to the mothership appeared on the projection screen in front of them. Upon seeing this, the other two elders immediately stood up. , prepare to greet according to the rules...

"Ardern, what's wrong with you?"

Looking at Ardern sitting motionless on the seat, the elder of the Tu clan sounded puzzled - he knew very well that although Ardern often behaved very independently, in terms of etiquette, he still followed Following the teachings of the Supreme Good, why did he not even bother with etiquette this time?

"I have something to do and I have to leave immediately. Please tell Shiva that I'm sorry."

Saying confusing and incomprehensible words, Ardern rushed out of the meeting room of the four-person council like a frightened little animal, quickly entered the combat command room, and in the eyes of other Fire Caste warriors with doubts, he rushed out with lightning speed to hide the confusion. Erzhishi issued a series of martial law orders that could affect the entire fleet. When it was confirmed that the last order was successfully received, Ardern breathed a sigh of relief.

"In this case, it will probably be okay?"

———————————————The dividing line of the weeper——————————————————————

do not think too much.

Do not ask.

Don't even wonder.

We are the Emperor's Angels of Death. In the name of the Emperor, it is our duty to fight to protect all living beings in the Empire. Anything else is vain.

However......

In the hangar of Manta, Captain Malakin, who was waiting to use this unique gang-hopping plan again to give the main force of the alien fleet a fatal blow, couldn't help but cast his sights not far away. The Astra Militarum array - the Chapter Leader of the Lamenters can easily judge that this Astra Militarum, which obviously originated from Cadia, is a truly powerful army, and its elite level can be said to be The first Astra Militarum I have ever seen - but where did such a large Astra Militarum come from?

Just when Malakin was inoculating himself again to prevent himself from thinking too much and not delving into the secrets of the First Legion, Redler took the advent body of the political commissar sister - a certain political commissar sister who had slightly transformed herself The main model of Cadia Castle——came in front of the Malakin Chapter Commander.

"Brother Malakin, this is the Lord of Fort Kurta. Once the gang-hopping war begins, his people will cooperate with you in the battle - and those Tau people who have chosen the true path of the Emperor will open the way for you - in addition , we will help the Lamenters Chapter access the Titanium Alien's combat command channel to obtain first-hand information about the Titanium Alien in real time. I believe you can make good use of it."

"clear."

Malakin once again gave up thinking about how many strange methods the First Legion had.

21. The Weeper—The End of the Tau Fleet

To the Tau fleet, the origins of this disaster were horrific and incomprehensible.

As people stepped off the ship, Shiva, the elder of the Water clan who had the deepest understanding of the Greater Good in the fleet and was always amiable to all intelligent beings who were willing to follow the Greater Good - whether it was titanium or not - was suddenly surprised. He drew a Yiba pulse rifle from behind and blasted the head of the unsuspecting Air Caste elder who came to greet him with one shot. He roared loudly again and ordered the Fire Caste warriors behind him to kill all the people in the hangar for the sake of the Emperor. It happened that other living Tau, including the Tu clan elder who stood motionless because of this drastic change, were randomly shot to death. The entire fleet was in chaos in an instant, and all kinds of contradictory information were spread crazily in the communication channels. Some Tau claimed that they were being hunted by their own race, while others claimed that the Empire's kind was called Astartes. warriors have infiltrated into the fleet and are frantically killing all the Tau people they can come across. At the same time, some Tau said that in fact Elder Shiva was dead long ago, and the despicable Fire Caste elder found his henchman and pretended to be The purpose of recruiting the respectable elder Shiva is to completely control the command of this forward fleet!

"Ask the Tu clan technicians to immediately reset our communication channels and send out all these sounds that have nothing to do with commanding operations - what? It can't be done! If it can't be done, it's okay to block some of them, right? "

In the combat command room, he witnessed Shiva and his subordinates stepping off the spaceship suddenly going crazy, turning the entire hangar into a slaughterhouse, and with a keener vision than the average Fire Caste, they captured Shiva's head and Ardern, the elder of the Fire Caste who seemed to have something wrong with the connection between his bodies, immediately arranged for all the troops to launch an operation according to the predetermined battle plan - but he encountered The first challenge is that the fleet's command channel has become a mess-for the combat method of electronic warfare interference, the Tau Empire has plenty of solutions, but...

This is the first time even Ardern has seen this kind of paralysis of the entire combat communication network without warning!

"Downgrade the communication channel to backup four, and activate the highest combat protocol at the same time. All teams will immediately report to me your position and enemy. The enemy is the Tau who betrayed the Greater Good. We need to re-establish the friend-or-foe identification mechanism." six ⑨ four ⑨ three ⑥ one ③ five

Just as Ardern sharpened her head, she tried every means to change the fleet's chain of command.

During the effective reconstruction, the identification signal of a frigate on the big screen suddenly disappeared from the fleet array - followed by the second one.

"Were there any alarms from them?"

Although the projection screen in front of him has not received any calls for help or other alarm-related signals from these ships so far, Ardern still involuntarily grasped the armrest of his seat - for the first time, he sat For the first time in this position, he prayed to the Greater Good that he had failed in his duty...

"No, elder, everything was normal until their identification signal failed."

It was reasonable, but the answer Ardern didn't want to hear reached his ears, which successfully caused the nerves of this battle-experienced elder of the Fire Clan to enter the 'crazy trembling' mode, and he was silent for a few seconds. Finally, the elder made a decision, a decision that seemed cruel to others.

"The main guns of the battleships and the frigates whose locking recognition signals have failed, they may no longer be under our control."

"????Senior citizens?"

Upon hearing this terrifying order, everyone in the combat command room was stunned.

“I SAID LOCK-DAMMIT!!!”

The main gun bombardment from the frigate hit the flagship heavily. Although it did not break its battleship-level shield, it still gave a considerable degree of energy supply pressure to the flagship, which had become a mess inside. When the other Tau hurriedly began to mark the two battleships as enemies and started charging the main guns, the two frigates had already maxed out their engines and ran away in a hurry...

"It seems that our enemy seems to have taken a liking to our ship - huh?"

The projection screen in front of Ardern suddenly went out, and the sound in the headphones fell silent. In the huge command center, the only light sources were the flying drones and the luminous things on the equipment worn by Ti.

"The battleship's engine has not been shut down, and the shield is operating normally. Only the energy related to internal lighting and communication has been cut off. Moreover, the backup energy has not been activated - Earth Clan, are you sure none of you are betraying? "

Such a precise silent strike made Ardern, who had become a frightened bird in a certain sense, involuntarily turn his attention to the Earth clan members working in the combat command center. The meaning in his tone made these Earth clan Tau people feel in their hearts. There was a slight thud involuntarily - of course, the good news is that before things took a turn for the worse, some of the key equipment's start-up lights had already turned on, and the noise of the battlefield was heard from the headphones again.

"Sorry, there are too many things that go against common sense in this battle. I have to be more vigilant...????"

Seeing the projection screen in front of him light up again, Ardern, who felt that he had been too nervous just now, breathed a sigh of relief. However, before he could finish his words, the Identification Friend or Foe signal on the screen that turned on again made him feel paralyzed. Ice cave - what happened? Why was my place marked as an ‘enemy’? No? Not only myself, but the identification mechanism of all the teams has been completely messed up!

"Hurry up and change the Identification Friend or Foe system - can't you change it?"

"Elder Ardern, it is completely locked. The Identification Friend or Foe system is unlocked. It will take us at least half a day to complete it."
