Warhammer: I am the Hammer of the Empire

Chapter 252 Space Marines settle in Skadi

In the long moon, in the endless universe, if people's souls can represent a shining star, then all the citizens of the empire combined are not that many, but when such a number is forced Compressed within the scope of the Milky Way, contradictions, darkness, and lack of resources arise from this and continue to spread.

Secondly, in the tens of thousands of years of human history, if we take their wrong attitude towards the universe seriously, we should regard it as an inexhaustible treasure house and resource package. Unless there is a special world like Terra, people will not Will use local resources of the big planet.

Just because humans are as powerful as Ming's technology, it is not easy to restore the planet. To maintain a tattered death world and keep it habitable requires draining out several worlds of the same order of magnitude.

Skadi's success is a different kind of miracle. When the first batch of wheat successfully sprouted and was successfully cultivated, several star regions were paying attention to it. It was not worth mentioning in that dark universe and huge empire. But despite the hopes of many displaced and homeless people, Alan Bair became famous and received countless requests for wheat seeds to be cultivated in the dry world.

The Empire, to be precise, human nature is complicated. People can bomb beautiful enough worlds for human habitation with stupid things, or they can spend a lot of money to repair the place where they lived just because they were children or ancestors. And there are many planets. The Governor believes that there are many pros and cons for plants to get caught up in the precarious cycle of their own world.

Secondly, in addition to heroes, orders, honors or normal business transactions, the prosperity during that period also forced Skadi to face the wrong problem. The increasingly expanding commercial channels could be opened unimpeded because of Alan Bair's rights, but space pirates Problems will still plague Skadi's new world.

No one would think that allowing expensive warships to protect civilian ships would achieve equal profits, and no businessmen would give up their profits to strengthen their precarious void defense capabilities.

Taking risks means death and loss, and problems arise that would never have arisen when transporting supplies on military ships during the days of Astra Militarum Crusades.

For Skadi, if it were a bad incident, the long-term damage to business interests and short-term losses would reach astronomical figures. The green-skinned orcs, Eldar, and many of those desperadoes, Skadi's battleship group, Therefore, the void escort force cannot interfere with such a huge void navigation range.

In his office, the Lord of Skadi was helpless, but his staff emphasized that the incident was not Skadi's responsibility. They had done a good job of ensuring that the outside of their world's waterways was clean. The Bordeaux The group of battleships headed by them are always cleaning up those evil things.

Responsibility, they regarded responsibility as the most precious thing in that void. In that era, it was the greatest honor for me to complete my duties. Minskadi not only prospered, but also maintained the transportation capacity of commercial waterways. It is perfect when it comes to the ground and is clean if it is wrong for most people. It is a bit too perfect without leaving any room for error.

The seemingly huge void of that era could not bypass the subspace. The Mandeville Point, which was formed by the gravity of the countless worlds in the empire, was the coastline and reference point for the navigation needs of ancient humans on Terra.

Everywhere in the world is like a lighthouse, or a port or coast, bearing the great honor of defending the system against pirates and fulfilling the duties of the empire.

Alan Bair looked at the star map. The core wealth path that Skadi asked for was from the jungle world to there. Whether the several worlds passing through the expedition were quite safe. The biggest headache for them was whether Skadi asked them to go there. Several locations for out-diffusion.

"The possibility of armed transportation is not high, so hire it voluntarily?" Alan Bayer muttered and looked at the second lieutenant. "Lieutenant, what do I think?"

He trembled. In that cramped and warm office, it was difficult to concentrate on work... "The Bordeaux has poor maneuverability, and the battleships of the Imperial Guard are all defense-focused. If they need to hire, then The first requirement is a superhuman force with high mobility, powerful firepower, good at accurate strikes, hostage rescue, decapitation operations, and the ability to run without getting tired.”

"A large number of spontaneously formed employment systems are bound to be a mixed bag of good and bad, killing people and stealing goods. If you want to ensure reputation and safety, you need to strike hard. He feels that Skadi does not have that ability at the moment. Is there any ship in the empire that can have the speed of a destroyer and the speed of a battleship? Firepower, and the crew is good at jumping gangs in the void, beheading and rescuing?" The second lieutenant teased, but Alan Bayer smiled.

"Yes, the Emperor's Angels." the Chief of Staff muttered, and the Second Lieutenant said in disbelief. "Them? How can they help them? The empire needs them in every possible pain and difficulty."

Alan Bair spoke. "Don't forget, the Destruction Eagles have not yet left that star area, and they need Liudong's warships to help them, and the situation will be greatly improved."

"Skady can provide them with a garrison environment and related equipment, where they can train and select new recruits. Unlike Space Marines, there are very few recognized sources of mortal soldiers. Whether Skadi has quality or will, It’s true that everything is top-notch, and the equipment and a fat seed left behind by the traitors can also be used as good bargaining chips.”

"If you don't, he won't refuse. If you station a company with less than a hundred people, you can get the full help of a world. How cost-effective it is." Master Chief Catachan commented.

The chief of staff added. "The power of the Skadi and their special status in the Empire can help them reproduce themselves without being targeted by the Empire. Even the most powerful assassins and infiltrators cannot clearly explore the complexity outside the castle in the dark technology era." "Secondly, the power of Captain Alanbair can also limit the punishment of those high lords who are wrong to destroy the Eagle East Faction, and they just need to protect the world that should be protected." The boy Leitlin commented. "It's hard to say whether they all won. The interests of the Space Marines are greater!" "Leitlin boy, don't take the interests so seriously. In that dark era, they need to look at the long-term, not like those high lords, worrying about this and that." Alanbair stood up and said. "Let the Star Words go out, the warriors of the Destroyer Eagle will come."

The reality is just as expected by the most astute people in Skadi. The Space Marine strike barges wandering in the star zone have unexpected group mobility. Some time before the Star Words arrived, two high-ranking lieutenants, second only to the Chapter Master outside the Space Marine Chapter, came to the temple under some pressure.

Those high-ranking and powerful giants would also greet each other, showing their few favors and respect for their brothers who have served the Empire for a long time.

The warrior wearing the power armor of the Destroyer Eagle color, with a bright red cloak hanging behind him, the double eagle of honor flashing on his chest, and the weapon in his leg that can chase the ancient bomb of the Great Crusade era waited for a long time in the east of the Emperor statue.

His turbid eyes saw the visitor in the darkness, a company captain who was also full of honor, and the other one seemed more low-key and not too armed.

He spoke. "Brother Kairos, they haven't gathered for many months. Your Tenth Company has provided them with many excellent soldiers. We are very grateful." The company commander named Kairos replied. "Thank you for your trust, brother. Things were not going well at Ghost Peak during that time."

(Ghost Peak is a wild world located in the Extreme Star Region. To be precise, most of the worlds of the Empire would not have a name like this place name, but the natives of that place did not have the ability to explore space, and even had no concept of planets, so they regarded their place of residence as everything.

Interestingly, most of the people of the Empire would rely on their own ability to occupy their own world regardless of whether they had the help of the Empire, at least most people did not think so, but the people of Ghost Peak were bound to a small area because of the harsh environment of their home planet, and their barbaric tribal habits and customs also made it difficult for them to expand, and as for how they came to that world, there is no way to find out.

At least after the Destruction Eagles chose it as their source of soldiers because of its terrible desire for survival, and built the fortress monastery and the raptor's nest, the Astartes became the local gods and regularly selected brave men to join the team, so there was also a concept of heroic spirits similar to the Viking culture in the local area, which in turn affected the Destruction Eagles and made them worship death.)

The one from the Tenth Company continued to emphasize. "A severe famine spread everywhere, and there was a problem with the source of soldiers."

"Unfortunately, during that period, they were in a situation where there were no new soldiers available."

The one who had been waiting spoke again. "That was a big problem. There were wars all over the Empire, and personnel were constantly lost. Many demons and monsters were active during that period. The situation in the Maelstrom was very bad, and enemies began to appear in the Eye of Terror."

"Emperor, although death is not shameful, he had to admit that those things came too fast during that period."

The shortage of new soldiers has always been a pain for most Space Marines, but in most cases, it is more of a problem with the Mechanicus Gene Magi than a shortage of personnel. They are not willing to train so many Space Marines for the Empire, and the High Lords Council is behind this.

The suffering of the Great Crusade era is no secret. The mortals' insecurity about the Space Marines is deeply rooted, especially for the High Lords Council who hold power. The focus has never been on whether the Space Marines can expand, but whether the mortals allow it.

Just as Alanbair sharply commented on those Chaos Space Marines, they were cultivated by the Empire, cultivated with countless mortal flesh and blood and wealth, and could not leave the Empire. That sentence is also true for the Space Marines who are still serving.

Although they seem to be glamorous, their rights and interests are actually not as good as those of the Astra Militarum, which seems to be dying all the time. At least many high-ranking Astra Militarums do not really have power, and the rebellion has really threatened the safety of a whole sector.

Without the endorsement of the High Lords, the Space Marines will never suffer, and their supreme leaders have left the Empire. The departure of the Primarch has greatly reduced the rights of the Space Marines. In addition, the Emperor asked for the guarantee of mortal rights, so those who have devoted themselves to the Empire have no rights...

That brief discussion ended here. The Tenth Company came there just to inspect the new recruitment site, but most of the worlds in the sector that created a new relationship with them did not meet the standards.

Secondly, the Forge World was unwilling to provide gene-seed leg skills, because during that period of time, wars continued and many Space Marine Chapters had increased demand for that aspect, which frightened the high lords.

With external worries and external invasions, the two high-ranking beings also became anxious and worried. But soon, when a sergeant with a falcon blade in his leg stepped in, the situation changed.

That soldier made great contributions during that time, helping the Empire conquer the fortress and regain the Forge World. His merits were enough to achieve a military rank and step into the lieutenant's management, but he stayed there because of his good relationship with the Imperial Guard.

It was hard to say that the company commander was wrong and he didn't feel guilty, so he relaxed his tone. "Sergeant, what are you doing here?"

The Master Chief took a deep breath. "He...received a communication from the world of Skadi. Lord Alan Bair invited them to visit. That world not only had tough citizens of the empire, but also experienced wars, young people and all the people were soldiers. At the same time, there were people behind it. Forge worlds Panlan and Militilia as sources of technology.”

The company commander nodded. "I've heard a little about the location of the Sun Lord?" He didn't think about where to choose, but obviously, he didn't think they could use Skadi as...

"Is that an olive branch? What do I think, Master Chief?" the company commander asked.

"They can be trusted, my lord, they can be trusted." The Master Chief replied without hesitation.

But are those big shots hesitant? The Destroying Eagle needs an alliance. Are they wrong with ordinary people who still hesitate? Can those people be trusted?

Even if they recognized Alan Bair's noble character, the opinions of those soldiers, other mortals, or the High Lords Council prevented them from moving.

That dark universe made even the most powerful imperial angels stupid and slow, daring not to move. Of course, that was not the case for them, but those things seemed to be destined...

The Master Chief looked at them and couldn't help but say. "He can guarantee their kindness and safety, and Lord Alan Bair no longer denies the Sun Lord, he no longer represents the empire!"

"He and his dozens of brothers can swear for that matter, they should give them a chance, or not give them a chance!"

His tone was sonorous and powerful, and every word was precise. In Ruming's situation, there was no worse situation than now. When the soldiers who destroyed the Eagle had to admit, they needed to trust a mortal, the experienced company captain. , soldier, nodded. "Go ahead..."
