Warhammer: I am the Hammer of the Empire

Chapter 203 Doesn’t he like bomb ships that much?

There are new and interesting things happening in Pan Lan's star port, so many empire merchants came together and left happily. The essence of the matter is not too complicated. Just the mechanical governor can recast the world. The acquisition of scrap metal, to be precise, is a large void spaceship.

Old rags can also be exchanged for Imperial Throne Coins at half the purchase price under the Forge Governor's generosity. In addition, they can be equivalent to dried meat or starchy food, large equipment from the Forge World, and even a small amount of Imperial military industry. Level weapons and "big killers" like the Sentinel mecha.

And the shabby Pan Lanke offered such a generous reward, which made the empire's merchants sigh at the solid foundation of the forging world, but that was not normal in any way.

After all, there is steel everywhere in the world, so there is no need to buy it, but you can take the money and don’t care too much. The more you know, the faster you will die, and the Sun Lord (Warmaster of the Astral Militarum, led by Gao Appointed by the lord, the right to listen to the tune but not the announcement) can also help them destroy the registration order of the ship in.

Because all interstellar spacecraft are registered, they are required to belong to one or more star fleets.

Only after a ship is registered can it truly have its own identity. The Fleet Administration will record and manage the shipping of registered ships in each star field.

Ships that are not outside a star area are not allowed to sail outside that star area unless they have permission from the Fleet Administration.

This is purely an identification measure. Any unidentified and unregistered ship will be considered an enemy and will be attacked and destroyed.

Generally speaking, it can be destroyed only by returning to Mars or the forge world where she was born, but the empire is huge, and the ships are destroyed in the void, and there are countless ships. In addition to the words of the Sun Lord, there is no obstacle to the purchase of ships by the Mechanicum.

As a result, a large number of commercial transport ships were parked in the star port. Those things were tattered and rusty. It was hard to imagine that those things could operate normally in the void. Some of their machine souls were even occupied by Pan Lan and humans. The time is very long.

They have rich experience and a long history, but Ruming no longer wants to do it again, because they have a new mission, whether it is to seriously injure the enemies of the empire, or what they cannot do no matter how much cargo they transport, so that they know clearly. The mechanical priests behind the scenes all praised those machine spirits from the bottom of their hearts, and soon they would accomplish truly great achievements.

Considering that the Mechanical Spirit cannot speak human words, Ellanbeir would have felt that those ancient warships must have cursed when the Mechanicus priests filled their ancient engine pistons with large amounts of explosives and excess fuel. .

The mechanical engines that shrouded the sky and the moon were abandoned by their loyal owners for hundreds of thousands of years with just a few throne coins. The crew members who lived there were reluctantly driven into new ships, and the generation living in them One generation even once had them live in the boiler room for the family name, he lived in the engine area for honor, etc.

But they also know that it is very rare for old ships to be replaced with new ones, not to mention that a star region pays for them. Usually merchants would find it troublesome to deal with large ships, but now someone is helping them.

Countless old battleships are stuffed with explosives, and the mechanical priests are constantly being used. The answer to who prepared those big treasures is already ready to be revealed.

The Sun Lord, Alan Bair, took off his thick golden armor. The powerful set of sacred relic-level armor specially provided by the Ministry of Military Affairs is the treasure of the Sun Lords in the past. It can defend against most enemy attacks, but it cannot Rambair was dressed awkwardly and looked ugly.

But the armor that had been worn by a great man like Macarius was still one of the rarest things he had ever touched, but that set of gold-colored things did not conform to Alan Bair's aesthetics, and it was very Will he be able to take advantage of the situation later?

Black gun is the most important thing.

Thinking so, the foundry governor next to him said. "I didn't expect to be the Lord of the Sun, the Warmaster of the Astra Militarum..."

Alan Beyer replied. "Don't mention that name is unlucky."

Yes, the name of the Sun Lord actually refers to the Imperial Guard. Yes, the Warmaster of the Astra Militarum is also the supreme commander of the Astra Militarum. At the same time, he has the command authority of all mortals in the empire. But Ruming's empire is surrounded by enemies and can be gathered together. The increased strength was also in the thousands of battleships, and Alan Bair had accomplished that before becoming the Sun Lord.

Although there will definitely be warships coming back in the future, he will not need such a large force at that time. In other words, the Sun Lord represents the breaking of Guilliman's Codex Astartes and the shackles of the Imperial forces, so it will not It is only limited to operating soldiers outside one's own sector.

An alliance of Imperial forces in more than one sector represents a rebellion, so many times the Astra Militarum appear weak in the face of huge heretical alien invasions.

Sectors cannot cooperate with each other, but Space Marine Chapters can. In other words, before the Sun Lord or the High Lord gives special permission, the Imperial Guard cannot gather more than one sector, and the scale of the invasion must reach If the boundary line of a star sector's defense power is reduced, then the empire's star sector will be wiped out as if it were extinguished in an instant.

The Sun Lords represent the people who can command several star sectors and are legal and reasonable. That is the only patch that the High Lords Council can meet with the Black Heart King. Even if they are seen as slow and stupid in the eyes of most people, can they never forget it?

They are the elite among the elite of the empire, the 12th among billions of people, the most selfish, ruthless and lawless things.

They are not crazy, what does the empire need? Since that sector gave them time and proved themselves, please know that Alan Bair stayed there for two full years, so that Terra could handle that matter as quickly as possible, even if the subspace storm caused information confusion , but the Rogue Trader still went out.

In that aspect, the Black Heart King would have failed to steal the chicken and lose a lot of rice. Otherwise, the cohesion of the Imperial Guard would definitely not be as high as it is now.

And Alan Bayer answered the Governor. "He didn't expect those high lords to be so straightforward and have such a hard time handing over their power."

replied the Governor. "It's not a question of strength, but survival. The empire is like a living thing. If it becomes terminally ill due to heretics and aliens, its immune cells will run wildly, whether it's good or bad."

Alan Bair nodded. "That's right, Ruming's huge army spanning three star regions consumes enough supplies every day to drain a whole world dry. Even if the entire empire is transporting blood there, the opportunity they can wait for is still not long."

The Governor wanted to say something, but before his grille rang, the sound of patting military boots appeared. Then they turned their heads. Caifash Kane, the hero of the empire was striding forward. He was determined and his eyes were shining. , like a statue.

But in his heart, he was thinking that he would test whether the warships there could escape intact, but what was the situation there?

Kane was a little uneasy. He just wanted to see dozens of Imperial assault ships equipped with sub-light speed, and make sure that those things were good enough so that he could run away when his ship was attacked or bombed by the Black Heart King. quick.

"Fire attack ship?" The hero of the empire raised his head and said with a bright smile, caressing the old ship, and read out the name of the tactic.

(A fire attack ship is an old ship loaded with large amounts of incendiary and explosive materials. It is often guided into the center of an enemy fleet and explodes. The resulting explosion can cause serious damage to surrounding ships. .)

(The first use of fireships in the Gothic War was during the Defense of Delos, when Commodore Kurtz used two fireships to weaken the Unforgiven, a fearsome Chaos Destruction-class cruiser)

"Yes, no, Chief of Staff Kane." Alan Beyer replied.

Kane rubbed the tip of his nose. "He once felt that he was somewhat proficient in tactics (escape), but the will of Lord Sun Lord made him unclear."

But he was once again surprised by the youth of Alan Bair. Although he often showed different maturity, becoming the Sun Lord was still too outrageous. In such a glorious person, Macarius has been forever consigned to history. , after all, he took back the entire world of Wan Empire for the empire.

Alan Beyer said. "He had information that traitors were ambushing them in the warp."

"A tactic often used by heretics is that they will not activate Geller's position. I heard that you have witnessed subspace with your own eyes?" Kane said tit for tat, but he was indeed a little curious in that aspect.

"Nonsense talk, what about subspace!" Alan Bayer retorted firmly, and Kane also knew what subspace was, and he had wrongly dealt with demons.

"Oh, that's wrong, who is driving the fire attack ship? The machine spirit will not hit the enemy." Seeing that the situation was getting worse, Kane changed the subject. He didn't want to talk about the power of the Supreme Sky in such a place. At least the people there can be some apprentice judge of the Tribunal or something.

"Tita's worker bees, that kind of electronic soul can be artificially designed. They just need to wait for a while, and the Titanium will provide the battleships there with a soul that is willing to accept death." Alan Bair answered.

"A bold idea." Kane was a little frightened. At least he shouldn't have said it so openly.

"Don't be afraid, the Sun Lord has great power, not to mention that he has never been disobedient to the high lords. It is not difficult for him to imagine what he will go through when he is worthless." Alan Bair saw it clearly, but he had nothing to deny. Even those who are barefoot and afraid of wearing shoes are those who are gifted by the high lord.

Kane was a little scared, he was afraid that he would be involved in revenge rather than that the Empire would actually do it, but he couldn't argue with that.

"He...he went to get some Tanner tea." He stuttered, and even showed his "true heart" for a moment, but Alan Bayer nodded and allowed the hero to go to a place where there was no one and cry like a child.

When the patter of military boots left, the Mechanical Governor began to give the initial blessing to those fire attack ships, bathing and burning incense, and singing praises from scriptures. They moved forward like martyrs. Even though they were old, there was a raging fire (physical fire) outside. .

And in order to ensure the lethality, the outside of the fire attack ship can also be filled with additional materials, nuclear bombs, hydrogen bombs, and even antimatter and subspace bombs paid from the Eldar.

Subspace bombs are also effective outside the subspace. The bomb will become like a space travel, instantly tearing the battleship in half, like a knife cutting it. Especially if the bomb is activated without activating the defensive cover, it can Achieving destruction on an asteroid scale.

The only drawback is that it is too small and can be carefully installed on the warships most likely to encounter the enemy.

At this moment, Alan Bayer looked at the battleship in front of him again. Yes, whether it was a trap or not, there was no need to think about it. But in many cases, traps can also become opportunities. In the face of human subjective mobility, any conspiracy and conspiracy can be suppressed. It will all appear unreasonable.

He has wronged many bastards in the past and it will never change even now, and now he has more power.

He picked up the noble leg and ground the coffee. Unexpectedly, there were still crops like cocoa beans in that era. Although it was different from the absolute beans in the Terra era, the caffeine was still there.

Sugar, milk, carefully stirred, rich and addictive, just like the taste of victory.

He was looking forward to the faces of the traitors when they saw those babies, and told him not to enter the subspace, nor to pilot them. What would happen next was unknown, and the destruction of Huron in Pi Nao must be the first. Chance.

He didn't think that the brainless Rogue Trader would continue to be reused. The clear rewards and punishments were the secret of the Black-Hearted King. The reason why he was stronger than Abaddon was that he used human genius instead of warriors.

Facing that smart, cunning, and difficult villain, sometimes he had to admit that the troubles of the orcs were mostly due to their closeness to the Skadi people, but the Black-Hearted King was more of a king, unattainable. a feeling of.

But it is still difficult for Alan Bair to distinguish the high and low of his enemies. There is no one who is easy to mispay. In that dark place full of ghosts, ghosts and snakes, whether it is a beast-like demon host or a crazy green skin, Or genestealers that can parasitize the Tau, they are all things that can wipe out the annihilation of several worlds.

That's right...the Astra Militarum is not one of them. That's how the universe is. There are no good people and no good deeds. There is only survival, killing, and water.

After the prayer, hundreds of old commercial ships flew in the sky. The Tau installed operational AI on them, the subspace engine started, tearing apart the Mandeville Point, and a certain Rogue Trader left Pan Lan overnight and prepared to pass through him and In exchange for the Black Heart King, the real subspace shortcut returned to his master, because his mission was completed.

The fate is turning click-click, the Imperial Guard, Space Marines, traitors, Black Heart King, Green Skin, all stir together, like a cup of bitter coffee forming a Gothic symphony in the dark galaxy, like caffeine.

Bitter, hopeless, uncomfortable, exciting, addictive and poisonous at the same time.

Warhammer is like this, it is unhealthy, it is abnormal, it is not bad, but it makes people obsessed. It is the aggregation of all the worst qualities of human beings, and it also makes every bit of beauty appear clear. Milk has a silky texture because of the coffee. , granulated sugar has a strong flavor due to its bitterness.

The fire attack ship passed through the shield of subspace and the real physical universe, glowing with a purple halo. War, let's fight against the enemies of the empire.
