Warhammer: I am the Hammer of the Empire

Demons, Jean Dan, aliens and heretics, the precarious empire has experienced too much. After three standard Terra months passed after this incident, a giant barge sailed into the port in anticipation of the heavy equipment. It took several weeks to finally install the two massive cannons, custom heavy volcano cannons worth far more than their Titan cousins.

As a treasure of the Iron Gate of the Forging World, its core material is crystal unearthed in the Mining World. It is said that the geology there buried many heretical psychics with magma to give birth to such a crystal.

At the same time, the largest size is generally no more than the size of a fist, but Governor Pan Lan was extremely lucky to get two super-sized ones, turning this behemoth originally installed on Titan into a battleship killer with a length of one kilometer.

But even its ground-fighting cousin, this long-range weapon can chop off a Titan's arm or leg, or be the war engine that kills an enemy with a single shot.

I heard that a Warhound-class reconnaissance Titan with complete void shield protection could survive a direct hit from the volcano cannon, but it was also an extremely huge thing.

The output of the volcano cannon against small targets is equally astonishing. It can turn the Porcupine infantry fighting vehicle into a charred scorch mark, and it can also directly evaporate a 100-meter-high thick iron door, as if it does not exist at all.

The two super-heavy volcano cannons can penetrate heavy warships with just one shot. Although the void shield of the large barge can effectively block the heat emitted by it, being hit like this is probably the end of the line.

These two behemoths, one kilometer long, are the only way the Imperial Guard can cause damage to planetary fortress-level war engines like the Ark of Omen, and they are the core of the Imperial Guard's survival.

Thousands of heavy-duty hydraulic cranes connect that monster to the outside of the hundreds-kilometer-long deep space behemoth in the cold void. This extremely terrifying weapon for mortals looks like a small pistol, because it is on the order of magnitude When it reaches such a level, all weapons, even super-standard ones, become ineffective.

The placement of the volcano cannon also means that the haze of war has arrived. After the constant auspicious warnings and the disappearance of the detection satellite information on the empire's border, the advance troops of the Red Pirates have arrived.

This is a grudge that has reached ten years. It is enough for a mortal young man to become a real man. Before the incident on Skadi was clear, the red pirates had already retreated. The commander who is as sensitive as the Black Heart King makes people feel Tricky, he will not die easily. Now he is making a comeback with even greater power.

The Imperial Guard's expedition did not break their bones. The former Star Claw troops were not wiped out much. Huron's old subordinates were still vigorous and vigorous, and they also wanted revenge. With the dignity and honor of the Space Marines, they fought for Their fallen traitor Vengar liquidated Pangia's Imperial Guard, as well as their leader.

Alan Bayer was making arrangements to face the red pirates at the strategic command post. The last time he did this was when he was not a general, and his position was not here, and it was like sitting down with so many mortal officers.

It’s just that this time there are more Space Marines, Eagles of Destruction, and inquisitors from the Inquisition, such as Nova, the pope of the local state religion, and many members of the Mechanicum. If it weren’t for the Skitarii Legion to protect the safety of the Forge World, the Empire would Guard logistics is also closely related to the existence of the Forge World, and there will probably be many more mechanical mages here.

This is rare. After the Great Crusade, the Golden Age ended, and the Empire has not been so united for a long time. However, this is not a good thing. In other words, only when great suffering occurs will the Empire be like this.

In full view of the public, Alan Bair walked up to the command point and ran his fingers across the holographic equipment. The buzzing and roaring equipment showed the enemy's location and general deployment predicted by the intelligence agencies and astropaths. The dense red dots were like stars. Suspended above the image representing the void, the dark green Imperial Guard firepower looked like something precarious in comparison.

Alan Bair spoke. "The number of enemies is predicted to be more than three times that of ours. However, given the limited contact area, we will not face a combat power that is much higher than ours, but the enemies will inevitably attack us continuously."

"At the same time, we have Engili Port. Although its defense is worse than the Ark of Evil Omen, it is better than the void transportation network and its own productivity. Our warships rely on Engili Port to launch defensive arrays and face the enemy. The enemy's attack will not be at a disadvantage."

Alan Bair looked at the captain of Bordero, who immediately walked up to the command point. "Just like Lord Skadi said, next, my subjects and I, together with the local lords, will be fully responsible for logistics. The planetary governors will also follow most civilian ships for transportation. At the same time, there will be a large number of spare parts and heavy equipment in the port. are increasing to ensure that the battleship can return to its original state in a short time.”

"I know that the next battle will not be the same as the battle of Bandertar. The ships of the Lord and the Planetary Governor will no longer have combat effectiveness. We can only rely on this method to try our best to complete the battle, at least in the Pangia sub-sector. Our place, I don’t want to see the damage caused by heretics making it full of holes.”

He meant it sincerely, and it also represented the current situation of the Imperial Guard. The entire huge array of battleships required astronomical numbers of operations beyond human imagination. This war drained almost all aspects of the Pangia sub-sector that had been invaded by heretics, and it never ceased to exist. From the barbaric feudal worlds that people care about to the hive cities and forge worlds, even the religious worlds in the hands of the tax-free state religion must stop the senseless responsibility of building giant sculptures and instead export resources to the Imperial Guard.

To be precise, all of this comes from the personal charm of Lord Skadi and the reward of Skadi people who sacrifice themselves to fight for others. It would be impossible for another lord general to gather such power. At the same time, this also reflects the sad situation of the empire.

In theory, the productivity of a star sector of the empire far exceeds that of any enemy of the empire, but there are probably no people who can condense the huge power of a star sector. Such individuals even among hundreds of billions of individuals It is extremely rare in China. Of course, with its huge population base, the empire has no shortage of heroes, but the empire will always need heroes.

Nowadays, the life and moral standards of the people in the Empire are under long-term military pressure. People with the moral character and success of Alan Bair are only rare. How many heroes like Kane are there in the Empire? If those characters are divided equally. Of the millions of people in the empire, how many worlds can enjoy the feeling of one person's personal charm gathering together?

The empire is not weak, but after the Emperor and his heirs left the empire, the huge power of mankind can no longer be gathered. Now Alain Byr has only reproduced one millionth of the miracle of mankind during the Great Crusade. In this A star sector with no core technology and no historical and religious value is enough to hinder the rare heretical invasion recorded in the human empire.

The empire is full of miracles, but there is no more light in this dark era, but it is also so high-pressure that the empire can prove its will to survive in this universe time and time again on the edge of collapse like a steam pressure cooker.

Only with this kind of will can Alan Bayer allow those who want to live to see miracles. This is not a miracle that belongs to him. After the captain said those words, he took the stage again to make strategic arrangements.

He straightened out his military uniform. In this place where it was slightly gray to ensure a clear virtual image, no officer would ignore his expression. It was painful and depressing, and he had to admit it.

"Yes, we are at a disadvantage. Even if we install a special heavy volcano cannon, according to my intelligence, the enemy also uses two Evil Omen Arks. I think we probably need to fight until the last person to hinder those enemies. Gunpowder and evaporated metal, death and drained blood, we have always been in it, and now we can no longer escape.”

"Be prepared, grab the enemy's thighs from the soil with broken hands, and hit the enemy with a warship that cannot fire in the void. Even if you are shattered to pieces, don't let the heretics step into our star sector again. For the sake of our dead comrades, for Family and friends, for our own world, and for the Empire and the Emperor.”

The officers nodded subconsciously, and the Space Marines remained silent. This was their fate. The people in the trial hall seemed uneasy. The mechanical mages were still the same, making a sizzling sound of electricity. The pope of the state religion picked up the scripture and read silently. Take the teachings from it.

Alan Bair looked at the people here and spoke bluntly. "There are hundreds of enemy battleships, and almost all of them are heavy military ships of the Imperial battleship level, and most of their members are traitorous Imperial Guards and cultists."

"The gods they believed in gave them the power to tear apart the empire. The essence of it should be that the imperial warships lost in the subspace were collected. The red pirates betrayed their souls just for revenge. Huron took his brothers into With the goal of tearing apart the empire, we have borrowed time from those monsters and a fighting power beyond our imagination.”

"However, the core of them is the Space Marines. Those mortal traitors have no command rights. The large arrays and tactics, and even the core of the legion are centered around the Blackheart King and his Space Marine brothers like the mastermind."

Alan Bayer smiled bitterly. "Although our ratios are similar to a certain extent, the command methods are almost the other way around. And here I have to thank the Destruction Eagles for their magnanimity in letting go of vital rights to mortals."

This time the fourth company commander of Destruction Eagle answered. "We once belonged to the Ultramarines Chapter, and therefore received some very few records. After I looked through some of the chapter records, I learned that the Emperor originally planned to end the Space Marine-dominated style of warfare after the Great Crusade. "

"We were born for the war, and the war will disappear after the war. Brothers who are lucky to retire can become artists, painters, and teachers. But that day comes too late. It has been ten thousand years. Now, I just try to follow the emperor's instructions. Do it according to the emperor’s sincere teachings.”

For him to tell such a secret is a bit counter-intuitive in this power-worshipping society within the empire, but here we are all our own people, so he can be considered outspoken, and from conflict to trust, he has completely understood Alan Bair, and at the same time he The words spoken are not the so-called records, but the words Alan Bayer once said to the think tank sergeant hero of Destruction Eagle.

And Alan Bayer also borrowed the donkey from the slope and said. "Yes, heretics have disobeyed the Emperor. The benevolent Lord of Humanity only loves humans. He has shortcomings and stupidity, but human beings are endless. Although Space Marines are great, they lack the ability to continue civilization, because in essence, Space Marines are also Human beings have gained powerful strength to fill their shortcomings, but they have also lost the huge vitality of mortal society.”

"In the eyes of the Emperor, Space Marines are not perfect. Human beings have unlimited possibilities. At this point, we have to give full play to those possibilities, and the Red Pirates will also die from their arrogance and arrogance..."

Dear military officers, the Pope, the Inquisitors, and to be precise, this is the first time for many mortals to hear this theory. Although it is a bit heretical, because the mainstream ideological trend in the empire is that people are sins, the state religion is actually very inclusive and can accommodate all kinds of people. Culture, the Imperial people are also far more open than people think. With the endorsement of the Space Marines, they can't help but want to believe that the great Lord of Mankind believes in his children from beginning to end.

Alan Bayer's eyes became sharp, and he realized that the time had come. He was a bit similar to those who played with power, but only superficially, because he did not want to use power to control others, and he always liked to go as he pleased.

He also naturally began to talk about what he thought and how to gain an advantage in the next war.

Alan Bair spoke. "Everyone, you should know that our core weapon is the volcano cannon. According to the estimated firepower, that super-large and super-heavy imperial weapon is like the emperor's wrath. Next." He pressed the button, and after a hissing sound, commanded Something rose outside the room.

Outside there is a void without light, and the dark color covers everything, as if nothing exists, blocked by the transparent tempered glass.

Alan Bair spoke. "I think it is necessary for you to witness our only chance of victory." After his words fell, fierce light appeared from the outside. Two hot white beams of light that cut through the sky appeared from both sides of the glass window, and their targets It's an abandoned whale-class heavy transport ship.

In just an instant, this behemoth was torn apart. The big whale turned bright red and was torn apart as if dead. It emits frightening light and heat. The two white lines are still straight outwards. Fly away until you are swallowed up by the void.

Alan Bayer spoke at this moment. "Six kilometers, the size of this ship, and the volcano cannon is our core. It lures the enemy deep, and then identifies the battleship where the Space Marines are, tearing open the void shield with one shot, killing tens of millions of people with the second shot, and finally disrupting the enemy The entire chain of command.”

After the words ended, the entire command post was silent, silent about this weapon beyond human imagination. Only the binary sounds of the mechanical sages were whispering, as if they were smug and praising the light that the monster they made screamed.
