Warhammer: I am the Hammer of the Empire

The people of Skadi are crazy. Some members of the Imperial Guard who know what happened, such as the foreign stationed personnel, commented this way. When Alan Bair made the bad behavior public, most people outside Skadi knew that the war was coming. and despise those who would sell their souls for profit if they put the Emperor's honor behind them.

But at such a tense moment, what came into their legs was not a declaration of war, a tactical plan or a mobilization request, but an invitation, exclusive to the Skadi heroes.

Whether it was a cover-up or whether the tactics were too bad for that matter, the Skadi people wanted to bless the strange couple from the bottom of their hearts. They did not hesitate and would not hesitate, even if war was coming. The fate of these people was difficult, and those people, like the nomads who once lived by fighting in Terra, did not fear war and even regarded it as a part of their lives.

That special feeling cannot be fully understood even if it destroys the eagle, but why does it organize a wedding at such a mobilizing moment?

There are doubts, blessings, trust, and approval. People come to that unique auditorium driven by those emotions and many interests. Is it unique to the Imperial Guard camp, let alone the most suitable place for that cruel person.

Amidst the piles of sandbags, bunkers, barbed wire and training equipment, not to mention the rows of Lemanus tanks, Hydra anti-aircraft tanks, and many terrifying metal monsters in front of the imperial engine's gaze, the simple camp was abandoned. Wear them in various fake plastic bouquets, or use shells to hang on fancy wind chimes.

It was not the first wedding after the liberation of Skadi, but it was the first wedding of the 4th Skadi Infantry Regiment. It represented a new bouquet of new life and hope blooming in a place full of death. It was also only tomorrow, Many Catachans surrounded the place, and the once fortified camp was reconnoitred again.

Every guest must be scrutinized strictly, not only if the Lord of Skadi will be there, but also the foot soldiers of Skadi, the soldiers of Falaksia, they will not allow anyone to stay in the month that their family wishes most. Move your legs and feet!

Starting from Ancient Terra, the union and moon that represent human beings have been grand. Although with the empire's huge population of tens of billions and the constant threat of war from the enemy, the feelings of people in the empire towards weddings have become increasingly weak.

But that does not mean that weddings are no longer important in human civilization. On the contrary, when it is possible to celebrate, the grandness and grandness of the event may exceed many times before.

Soon, the guests gathered, and the seats were packed. Under the emperor's gaze, light shone from the stained glass, and the elaborately crafted ceremonial table was engraved with a head representing purity. People gathered there, and every guest was without exception wearing a military uniform. They She has an upright temperament and high morale. If there are any exceptions, there is probably a girl named Arya and the grandfather beside her.

They watched the priest gradually enter the place. Sweet cakes and delicacies were waiting in the square outside the camp. The boy Letling hurriedly changed into his military uniform and sat down on a bench. The comrades around him were used to his stench. , he frowned slightly.

Master Chief Catachan walked next to him. He had changed from his previous shirtless or short-sleeved appearance. Even if he was operating outside the cold Skadi, he would wear as light a clothes as possible, but tomorrow alone, he would wear the thinnest clothing of the Imperial Army. Please ask if you should wear a school-level military uniform and be high-spirited.

There was a lot of silence until the ceremony official shouted. "To the bride!"

Behind the podium, a tall beauty was slowly moved forward. She was supported by the bridesmaid, the Mechanicus girl, Skadi and the Technical Priest of Flaxxi. She seemed to have lost the fierceness of the battlefield. , Liudong has beautiful long hair, matched with the empire's luxurious dark gold dress, capable but engraved in the bones. There is no doubt that she, the bride is so beautiful, who can win her favor?

"To the bridegroom!" After a high-pitched voice, the second lieutenant supported Dong by Alan Bair, the master of Skadi, and stepped there in a beautiful and capable military uniform. The sound of military boots knocked on the steps, and on his chest hung his life-and-death struggle. won numerous honors.

Those sparkling badges became even brighter in the silver light shining from the glass at this moment, because that wedding not only represented the union of two people, but also meant that the second lieutenant had to take over the honor and future of Falakcia on behalf of his ruthless man. This is not a wedding in the traditional sense, but more complicated and simple.

The two looked at each other. They had experienced countless wars and had never experienced such a scene. Their cheeks quickly turned red. At the same time, the veteran's official priest asked.

"Second Lieutenant Skadi, am I willing to take over the full honor and command of the 113th Falakxia Regiment and not disgrace the history?"

replied the groom. "He does!"

"Then, Miss Kellys Arkady, I am willing to put aside my responsibilities, enjoy the remaining grace, life and peace that the Emperor has bestowed on me, and hand them over to your ruthless people?"

replied the bride. "He does!"

"Then, let's exchange tokens." The priest called, and the bride took off her own dog tag and the dog tag of the first leader of the Falakian 133th Regiment. The two metal products were surprisingly thick, and they were not unreasonable in weight. But it is indeed a real burden.

The lieutenant lowered his head. When the metal touched his neck, the young man almost suffocated. But when he made the decision to marry that complicated woman, he had already made up his mind. He knelt down gently on one knee. , put a gemstone ring representing ruthlessness (in the darkest era of mankind's future, diamonds have been recognized as useless, but gemstones are still long-lasting and valuable) into the girl's ring finger.

Soon, the two hugged and kissed each other. Tens of thousands of soldiers and people gathered outside the auditorium burst into violent applause at this moment.

The sound that represents vitality shakes the whole castle, as if it will never dissipate, just like the beating of the heart, like people in the Ming Dynasty who have many thoughts, but can have the same purpose tomorrow, that moment, then it loses the charm of civilization.

The official spoke. "Please ask their best man, Skadi's master, to say a few words."

Alan Bair was thinking about the slightly strange wedding at the moment, because whether men and women were really equal in that era, he would be one of the thousands of people sacrificed by the emperor, so he would no longer deny the man's "grantment". The mutual "exchange" can be compared to the "dead souls of the old times". Those things look both solemn and strange.

He still blessed that event from the bottom of his heart. Secondly, the speech had been given to him so many times that he no longer needed any scripts, preparations, and was not timid.

He stepped forward. In that hall and the outer camp, tens of thousands of people were quiet and there was no other sound. Even the two most excited ruthless men were looking at the legendary warrior.

"Every soldier who fought in the Emperor's Honor Palace knows very well that tomorrow is a truly memorable month. For him, every soldier is his family, and he has experienced too much. Victory, Failure, death, these things are mixed together, making him pay special attention to each of us. "

"Although the Skadi Infantry Regiment has been established for a long time, he still feels this way, and tomorrow, his child, the second lieutenant whom he regards as his child, will step into the wedding hall. It is worth remembering, but he wants to say it directly, that There is cruelty behind this wedding, and the background of war.”

"So he blessed that wedding and didn't want it to happen again. He wanted all his family to be safe from war and death, and he worked hard to do that for a long time."

"He hopes that the honor and light of the Emperor will always shine in the skies of Skadi. He hopes that people with feelings can gather here. He hopes that war and death, heretics or aliens will never interfere with their lives again, but that is almost No, he knew, they could just shoot, attack, and kill, again and again, until the galaxy was empty."

"But he doesn't intend to give up. Everyone, he wishes the newlyweds good luck. At the same time, he hopes that no one in Jidong will be threatened at the wedding. Otherwise, they will take up arms again and attack the enemy. ”

"War does not distinguish between good or evil. They need to live and be safe. He will not be satisfied until their roars are known throughout the galaxy, and until Skadi becomes a place where people no longer dare to offend!"

"So he can keep asking, struggling, fighting, and waiting until something succeeds. Even if it takes hundreds or thousands of years, he still wants that thing to succeed. One day, they can celebrate life without enemies. Request any moment until the stars burn out and the universe dies!"

"Now, now, let them bless that wedding, bless the beginning of life, and look forward to the future." He breathed heavily and his anger was exerted at this moment and infected most people. They must admit that there is nothing more safe in life. What is even more irritating about being threatened, coupled with the information provided by the inquisitor before, will completely ignite the anger of the Skadi people tomorrow.

The second lieutenant wore a uniform and held the palm of Alan Beyer's leg. He reported to his superiors seriously. "He will be responsible for making sure that what happened tomorrow will never happen again. His superiors will be responsible for his children, his ruthless people, and his brothers."

In one word, applause, the applause roared for a long time and madly, until tired, the voice stopped, and the priest began to sing. Those emperor's mantras protected those two people who were still harmonious and safe in the dark 40 thousand years of mankind. They looked very long, but there was no one. Don't listen quietly until the starlight hangs to noon and the stained glass shines eastward.

People left in an orderly manner and went to the courtyard to enjoy food or rest, to celebrate and commemorate the few confinements, and at the same time prepare for the beginning of the war.

The wedding was as complicated as its performance. It represented Skadi's rebirth and danger. The strong contrast highlighted the tragic situation of the Empire and made people have to admit that Skadi Very unsafe.

That kind of gap seems to close the door to heaven, but the people of Skadi have experienced worse confinement. They are optimistic and drink and chat outside, even if the cold weather and harsh environment are making things worse, even if the food is because the temperature has dropped Even if the taste becomes slightly worse, they will happily enjoy their confinement.

Whether it is a trench or a nest, it is not a fortress. Those strong people have not changed, and they will not change in the future. Although it is cruel and of course sad, at the end of the 40th millennium of human civilization in that dark universe, no one can Isolate yourself from the most tragic things.

If Skadi doesn't stand up, then the bad things that happened in Ruming will happen in the weaker imperial world. Several navigation blockades, several oppressions, and those poor people will starve to death for no reason. The original strict class issue And to be even more exaggerated, resources will be brought into Ndjili Bay without limit, bringing unlimited prosperity to its owner...

During that time, the glimmer of hope brought by Skadi will also be extinguished by those profit-seeking demons. To make matters worse, those people will not be able to collude with the Red Pirates and open the way for them to the Sun Star Territory and go to the Holy Land. Terra tarnishes humanity's ancient stars!

Therefore, the entire sector was angry that time. With the help of that wedding, the most beautiful moment of the ensign's life was turned into a sad political show. Alan Beyer walked backstage and cleaned his cheeks with ice water in despair. He had achieved something. Will he use his brother's life to gain benefits?

He has become a person who will benefit from his brother's life!

He smiled bitterly, his eyes were wet, and water kept dripping down. He looked like he was crying, but suddenly he was patted on the shoulder by the second lieutenant, and he immediately adjusted his condition. "Isn't that the lucky one for them?"

The second lieutenant said. "Don't lie to him. I don't like that at all. I like a small wedding, where I can have friends and comrades, and bring John and his family with me. At most, that's it."

"To be honest, he doesn't like it either, isn't he? He's a ruthless person, so what? At that sensitive time, they knew each other early and talked to each other."

"His commander, they deny my sharp blade, just as he said, they deny the future of mankind. They are willing to sacrifice everything, especially the wonderful place of Skadi. Just a wedding is nothing. "

"It doesn't matter if I begged him to do something even more pathetic. Without me, they would have nothing now."

Alan Bayer said no to the ensign's sighing comment. "I praise him too highly. He would have accomplished nothing without us. He is not Celestine, nor Kane, nor a strong man gifted by the Emperor. His life will always be taken risks. He He was a gambler, and that time, he felt he didn’t need to gamble anymore.”

"But the universe wants to pull him back, to a place where human lives are used as bargaining chips!"

The ensign held the ball of his leg. "Then continue to gamble. The entire star region, the entire Skadi, and the entire Fourth Regiment will still accompany me to gamble. Just bet to win. Even if you win in the dark universe, you won't dare to gamble away. They will win, and they will win big. win."

"And he, and they, will continue, continue to climb on the edge of death with the dark moon, until the light really fades."

"No to the emperor, no to them, no to me, his boss."

Alan Bayer looked at the young man who was going through the most important confinement period in his life and showed that wry smile. "Prepare a handful of coffee for him and keep going. It seems that their good confinement is over."
