Warhammer: I am the Hammer of the Empire

Chapter 244 Skadi’s fortress world, the end of the journey

Among the many unfinished tasks, there are still many things that cannot be solved by the 4th Skadi Infantry Regiment, such as cleaning up the corpses and taking care of the outside of the castle, finding rooms and determining the recovery status of objects.

Not only the problem of human legs, there are many aspects of fear of other existences hidden outside the castle, such as the mechanical mages who are still missing, the Space Marine Chapter Master or the Grand Inquisitor Varden, etc. who are difficult and troublesome. guy.

In the splendid chambers, in the once-evil chapels, after the statues had fallen, the emperor's light shone through the light of flickering candles in that complex and beautiful place, where treasures or noble silks had been taken from exploitation and death, The mahogany furniture has all changed owners.

The Sun Lord was being praised by his soldiers. There were not many of them. They had survived the long war to the dawn of time. They must have been honorable men. When the steak and stew were brought, they became quiet and peaceful again. wolf.

They are neither soldiers nor nobles. They cannot taste sweet butter or noble spices. They have never seen the so-called paradise. Apart from the bullets that are always spent and the stomachs that cannot be filled, they have muddy military shoes or a pair of dirty trousers. If you don't belong to that gorgeous place, no one will feel that they shouldn't enjoy the surroundings.

The lieutenant wiped the food residue from his mouth and looked at his watch. "It's time, he needs to go to work, boss."

Alan Bayer did not eat anything. He closed his eyes and seemed to be resting. In fact, he investigated the situation of the castle through the self-aiming device connected to the system. In the dark age, with a strong technological foundation, he controlled the entire castle. With all his ambitions in mind, those things turned into a hologram in his mind.

What he is most satisfied with and cares about the most is whether the system can display large life forms outside the castle according to the owner's wishes, and then label them according to customized colors and nouns. The screen is like an auspicious omen, so he doesn't know that it is wrong with the assassin. Does Court or Tau's Way of Shadow have any use?

He stared at a bright red mole in the picture. It was the only living thing he didn't know about in the entire castle. It also looked particularly bright. He couldn't tell what it was, whether it was a monster or something confused. It was located on the top of the tower, and it was also very bright. Don't move.

He closed his eyes and muttered to the ensign. "Let the soldiers take a nap for a while. Don't worry. Wrong. Wait for Dong to go to the top of the tower and have a look. He thinks there is something there."

"If he doesn't agree with my idea, he will go there, but he always wonders why I act like a prophet."

The second lieutenant would not refuse. Although he was not qualified as a soldier, no matter how good the order was, he could not stop him from asking more questions. Alan Baier felt that his information was not secret, but when he realized that the special monitoring structure of the castle could To help him resist the assassination from the empire, that matter must be kept secret.

"Don't ask too many questions, just go and see it."

He couldn't help but start to use his authority to oppress his soldiers. The Sun Lord's energy is in his own fortress. He is neither the Sun Lord nor the fortress of Skadi. He has the right to defend and control that world, that treasure. It also became his thing.

Although the second lieutenant was dissatisfied, in his eyes, Sun Lord Coco, who had always closed his eyes and rested, was too tired due to long-term command. Although he was actually trying to find a way to activate the core power source of the huge Qiu Fortress, those Mechanicus did not really If you conquer the entire complex organization, you will not be able to enjoy the seemingly safe defenses there.

Those complex structural mechanisms became clear in his consciousness. According to legend, humans in the Dark Ages could even travel through time in a short period of time and control cause and effect. Some cutting-edge technologies were even comparable to magic, which was amazing.

And how prosperous human civilization once was, it makes people even more heartbroken when it is revealed that its decline has made people even more heartbroken. Those great, powerful things that shocked the universe have turned into disorderly and chaotic fragments and unrecognizable things, even if they are not The Emperor would then be able to use his limited power, so that humanity could rely on those weapons to conquer the universe.

When the decline and decay of the Ruming Empire pulled Alan Bair's thoughts away from that long-term thinking, Qulu had already pulled his brothers in the fourth Skadi regiment who had been with him through life and death to other places.

The sight of leftovers reminded him of the confinement period when he was betrayed by his own brother. The nobility had changed many people, until he picked up a piece of Sina bread from the dining table and chewed the bland thing to fill his need for carbohydrates. , and taste the bland, peaceful and sweet taste from the tasteless flour.

He felt that one day the end would come to an end, whether it was long or short or fast would be different, and he also needed to think about seeking more benefits for the Skadi heroes, at least so that the descendants of those who truly fought against enemies for the empire could enjoy what their ancestors had not tasted. Live in peace and prosperity.

It was not a peaceful land, and Alan Bayer did not admit that the continuation of life was the only explanation for human existence. But in that cruel universe, in addition to recapturing Skadi and turning the descendants of those people into fat-hearted people, Pig, he has no other way to supplement the sacrifice of his war brothers.

And it was not Skadi's return that made him think that they should choose peace or war.

"Staff." He turned on the radio, and a voice came from the other end. "What's wrong, Captain?"

"He wants me to find the people who are still alive in Skadi. He wants to estimate their identities. The information can be taken directly to the ruined old city to get the disk there." Alan Bair replied calmly, What he said made the chief of staff feel good.

"Identity?" That smart commander, a propagandist who understands people's hearts, and a graduate of Zhongsi Academy, naturally quickly realized the only value of those things.

"Brothers, sisters, parents and relatives of the survivors, can you check that?" he answered, and Alan Bair also echoed. "All, all people related to the Skadi Corps. He knows that it is a bit overwhelming, but he hopes that I can help when I go to the surface to complete the mission that I will take over with the Bordero."

The chief of staff was a little angry. "I know his identity. He is directly sent by the empire. Although he respects me and recognizes my actions, he still needs to act for the emperor. The Loyalty College will need those people. They are all heroes and martyrs and will not be treated badly. ”

"But he doesn't believe it. If the local Skadi star district is very good, if Qiu leaves a few big star districts, he will never have a chance in tens of millions of light years, even if his legs and eyes can reach the sky." Alan Bair scolded.

"Staff, every academy is so good. I should be clear about brainwashing, drug abuse, corporal punishment, and tyranny. The empire is huge. There are places where the backbone of the empire is really cultivated, and there are also corrupt bureaucrats and private soldiers who obliterate the will of the individual. hell."

"He knows that things in the group are being kept secret from me, and the others are too young. He himself needs to complete the work of taking over the castle and activate the void shield. The only and most suitable candidate is me."

"That's not an order, it's just that he felt that that action was better than chilling the brothers of the Fourth Skadi Regiment." Alan Bair rambled on, clearly talking about the good and bad, and the chief of staff sighed. .

"It's not an order. If he doesn't do it, how can he gain a foothold in that regiment? It may be a small thing, but it has a big impact. He actually called him on the radio..." The chief of staff couldn't laugh or cry. He couldn't tell whether the Sun Lord was grand or careless.

Alan Bayer said. "Their expedition is almost over. Skadi now has a planetary shield, which is indestructible. With it blocking the Lord's sea route, the original plan to hit Badab has been stopped. The Empire will definitely not be willing to continue, otherwise there will be no The threatening black-hearted king paid such huge military expenditures.”

"If there are no accidents, they have reached the terminal."

"Three years ago, the subspace storm interrupted that incident. Three years later, they arrived as promised, and that world is still waiting for them. No matter what he thinks, the Black Heart King cannot attack that star area again."

"During that time, did he have the opportunity to protect those children? He did not think that Zhongsi Academy was not good, but people should not make mistakes in what they can do, and the matter of protecting their families must be left to their own devices."

"What's the end point?" The chief of staff's tone flashed with disappointment and he quickly agreed. "Then he agreed, and he will prepare for it later."

He hung up the signal, and Alan Bayer also completely mastered the operating skills required for that huge structure that can protect the entire world during the wrong time.

When he roughly started the equipment according to the introduction, the reality of why the fortress had anti-orbital capabilities also appeared in front of people.

As the center of the earth began to shake violently, the equipment that had absorbed the energy of the earth's center for thousands of years began to activate. A peculiar shield was protruded on the top of the castle, allowing it to pass through the entire east of the earth like a ghost without any vibration. The direction is rising.

Hundreds of huge fortresses connect the entire world. They are neither void shield launchers nor enough to resist any enemy's anti-orbital fortress. Those steel giants have been continuously repaired by the empire thousands of years ago. In the dark technology era Humanity's giant cannons have been replaced by light spears and macro cannons. Although their power has been weakened, the exquisite core equipment has endured the persecution of 20,000 years from the east and can still be used.

When the ruins of those hives were squeezed away by castles, the steel cities standing on the ground were once again attached to the surface of Skadi, and the destroyed steel hives were resurrected with a more terrifying appearance.

With the planet in orbit, the Bordero looked at the incredible miracle and marveled. The soldiers who found sunlight shining outside the castle marveled at the emperor's miracle. And the Sun Lord who had completed everything felt the peace of mind that he had not seen for a long time, because With such firepower, Skadi talent can take root again.

And this world has been built or repaired with countless fortresses, and whether it can be built or repaired, materials from Skadi's world can be used. Is it possible that this will turn the entire world into a lifeless hive?

At the same time, the resources and money produced by the people living in that world in the hive were constantly exported to repair the fortresses that had been lost for thousands of years. But before the completion, the red pirates came and greedily took the treasures away. Take it as your own.

They finally underestimated mankind's longing for their hometown and the fighting power of Skadi's fourth regiment. The conspiracy was uncovered and their destiny changed completely. Skadi will become Cadia to suppress the maelstrom and protect the empire until The Primarchs returned, the Emperor walked the earth, and the traitors died of shame.

Countless announcements came through the communicator, and Alan Bair clicked on them like a bad boy, looking at the nervous discussion of the surprised Imperial Guardsmen inside, whether it was Bordeleau, Skadi, no. Whether there are hundreds of thousands of people in the Falaksian regiment stationed on the Bordero, plus the survivors in the world of Skadi, millions of people are bathing in the new sunshine and hope.

The homeless had a new home, and the Imperial Guard had a place to serve. After the great deed was completed, the ensign reported to Alan Bair in surprise.

"Boss, the castle has reached the ground?!"

Alan Beyer replied. "Then I think the anti-orbital gun and apron on the outside of the castle are used for something. Can they be left for good viewing?"

"Isn't that magic, witchcraft, or some kind of Mechanicus witchcraft? How did they pass through the soil?" Sergeant Major Han Xuan.

Alan Beyer said. "If he wants to know the principle, he will not deny the Sun Lord. He will go directly to Mars to become a foundry general."

The ensign sighed. "How's Bulian, boss? He saw what I said on the top of the tower. A lot of corpses of mechanical monsters, three corpses of space warriors, the death of a mechanical sage, very much like that inquisitor, the only one alive is very terrible. The gasping Terminator veteran named Hagrid chose to commit suicide after seeing them, and jumped eastward from the top of the tower hundreds of meters high. "

"They have gone through months of protracted wars and struggles, so why don't they just reject that thing?"

Alan Bayer couldn't help but sigh. "Probably..."

"Instead of that, now notify the fleet to station in Skadi. There is no safe place in the entire star region. Unless those red pirates are crazy, they will attack there."

"They've probably won. That sector is probably clean. The empire won't support them in their expedition to Badab. Be prepared to become nobles!"

The ensign shouted into the communicator in disbelief. "Noble? The expedition is over? Boss, there are no documents from the Ministry of Military Affairs..."

Sergeant Catachan said. "Is that true? The Empire will not want to take back the places occupied by the Black Heart King. Those areas are so polluted by Chaos that they cannot distinguish between reality and illusion. They have been swallowed by the evil power of the Maelstrom."

"The sergeant is wrong, they just need to wait for it to end..." Alan Bayer nodded, but the chief of staff spoke now.

"Captain, he found the information and is making a comparison. He checked my situation when he came. According to the records, I, Alan Bair, was born in District D of Skadi, Hive City A1647, and my parents are dead. , due to disease infection, at the same time I have a younger brother who is still alive in the records.”

"According to the internal records of the regiment, they checked for a long time and it seems that the person was..."

Alan Bayer suddenly spoke. "It doesn't matter to him if he doesn't ask again. He won't go to Zhongsi Academy. Huo Donglai must have been integrated into the army, so why didn't he find him? His life is as good as ordinary people."

"A high position is neither a right nor a burden. He doesn't want him to live with Coco's assassination like him for the rest of his life."

The Skadi officer-level radio was silent for a moment, with everyone almost acquiescing to the incident, and the chief of staff began to report on the situation of other soldiers' families.

In New Badab, the rich and chaotic planet closest to the center of the Maelstrom, the Red Pirate King looked at the battle report of a crushing defeat and glanced at what was shown in the crystal ball provided by the Chaos Wizard. , but showed a terrible smile.

he said in a hoarse voice. "All the troops will first attack the blocked world of Skadi. It is the best springboard for them to attack the empire and get rid of that world!"

Countless terrifying Chaos forces and warships are still ready to go, and a new Ark of Omen is also driven by the Black Heart King himself. Among the countless secrets unearthed by the Red Pirates, Skadi is still the most valuable, especially Otherwise, he saw the picture of the quest starting.

They lacked a stable springboard in the material world. Huron didn't care about the strategic priority of seeking fortress because it could not be activated before, until he saw the metal castle deploying a defensive posture on the earth from the vision of the Lord of Change. .

That kind of weird greed appeared in his eyes. Even if he lost all his troops, he would still beg Skadi to become his!
