Warhammer: I am the Hammer of the Empire

Compared with the energy that erupted when Lieutenant Colonel Avada rushed into the temporary command room of the relic room of the church in Kalu City, even the surging waves of orcs roaring out of the jungle and rushing into the No. 3 outpost were nothing.

Just his eyes scared the lone guard outside and made him collapse on the floor.

Then he skillfully "opened" the door with a power fist.

When he rushed in, there was a rumble, and the wooden door broke, and the fragments flew dangerously in the air.

Planetary Governor Misom and Major General Nilom, who were in the command room, opened their eyes wide and their faces were pale. They couldn't believe that their soldiers would "knock on the door" like this and be knocked to the ground by the energy of destruction.

The female staff officer was stronger, and she climbed up quickly.

"Lieutenant Colonel Avada!" the staff officer roared. "What does that mean? I almost killed someone! He sentenced me right away."

"He doesn't seem to be able to kill anyone, staff officer." Avada replied.

Staff Officer Redwin had already thrown off her long black coat and reached for her bolter.

"Wilful endangerment of the life of a senior officer. Article 416A of the Astra Militarum Disciplinary Code provides for an immediate verdict and death sentence by the staff present."

Lt. Col. Avada didn't seem worried. "He's not the one who should be convicted, Staff Officer Redwin."

Lt. Col. Avada pointed at the planetary governor Misom. "He's not."

"What?" Governor Misom retorted in his pitiful shrill voice.

Staff Officer Redwin said. "Do I want to shirk responsibility?"

Avada was furious.

"You said they were facing a group of space orks and a few local orks, right?"

Major General Nilom replied. "No, that's the situation."

Avada asked. "Have I heard of the story of the ghost orcs?" Nilom said, "It's just a legend." Lieutenant Colonel Avada stared at the major general. "So, I don't know if the orcs occupying the No. 3 outpost are the so-called "special warfare guys"?" Governor Misom said. "Orcs are orcs." Avada said, "They are not ordinary orcs. They have learned the lesson in Karst. Ghost orcs do not really exist." "They are a group of special warfare boys led by the current war leader One-Eye. Their number is small, but they are much more deadly than any orc he has encountered." Staff Officer Redwen said, "He understands that I feel pain for losing soldiers, but he believes that it can be regarded as a magnetic field disorder and intelligence error." Avada was stunned. "He's not finished yet, Staff Officer!"

"Major General Nilom, he has completed the mission you gave him, and there are now tens of thousands of Orks surrounding there. Now, he tells you that they can't even leave that world because the orbital equipment is being watched by several evil Ork engines!"

Nilom spoke, "He... um... he thinks the situation... isn't that bad?"

Avada smiled, but it wasn't a good smile. "Major General, if that mission had achieved exciting results, I don't think he would be so angry?"

Avada turned to the complaints of the planetary governor Misom. 'Burning Governor, it's about time you told me, what did they encounter? "

Nilom said, "What exactly happened?"

The governor whispered. "Are there a little more Orks than expected..."

Avada was surprised. "A little?! He saw thousands of them, and there are many more heading towards the Ork gathering place!"

"Their waaagh will kill them! And if they can't even evacuate there! " Governor Misom shouted loudly. "That's impossible! There are not so many greenskins on his world!" Major General Nilom said, "Lieutenant Colonel!" "What's the situation?" Avada saw that when he and Nilom kept silent, Governor Misom had been staring at him. Just as he thought. At this moment, Misom's face immediately lost its color, but Avada continued. "They followed the traces of the battlefield to that place. In addition to the one-eyed orcs, many more tribes are joining." Major General Nilom's expression on his face was enough to confirm that Avada's statement was very reliable. "Is it a whole army?" Avada replied. "Worse." Avada turned to Staff Officer Redwen. "Staff Officer, their relationship is a bit unstable. He knows that I have no jurisdiction over a planetary governor." "So he can't ask me to do too much there, but can I temporarily turn a blind eye to his overstepping behavior?" The staff officer replied. "That depends on my reliability. "

Avada pointed at Governor Misom and said, "He knows the number of wild orcs there, but has been hiding it from the Empire."

"He doesn't know at all!" Misom stammered, "He, he, he knows nothing about orcs."

Avada cursed. "There are thousands of wild orcs in the jungles around the capital of our planet."

"Even the most worthless and worthless cesspool in the Empire's world can report the accurate population of wild orcs by half or more, because they are not difficult to find."

Governor Misom said with shame like a man with blood on his legs. "That's because, ah, because of the planet's, I know, magnetic field. They are difficult to monitor, and... they don't know they exist."

Avada looked at the staff. "Can he?"

Staff Redwin nodded, and Avada grabbed the planetary governor in an instant, within a breath.

He grabbed his throat with his modified legs and squeezed. The Governor made a sound like a frightened rat.

"I heard him talk about my gentle world."

Avada growled. "If he had power-fisted me like that and squeezed my torso, my head would have exploded like a pustule."

The Governor was like a wet towel wriggling futilely in the Lieutenant Colonel's legs, Avada continued. "Why didn't I tell them about the wild orcs?"

"He doesn't know..." The Governor tried to break away, but Avada tightened his grip again, the server roared, and Misom screamed.

"Okay! Okay! He knows!"

Avada let him go. Misom rubbed his red neck. "explain."

The governor said tremblingly. "They've had several orc invasions over the years, and they always seem to come back."

"Every time the Orks invade, they think they've been driven away, and they pop up again, either with more Orks from space or an infestation of wild Orks."

"His grandfather, when he was governor, claimed that he had fought off the initial infection without Imperial aid, but when the wild orcs began to overrun again, he was clearly wrong."

"Every time they call for help, the Empire doesn't seem to care much about their planet. Their tithes are too small to support the endless resources they devote to preparing for its coming."

Avada said, shaking her head. "I kept silent about the orc infection because I was worried about money."

shouted the Governor. "I don't know what it's like to keep a world going."

"They are a garden world. The Empire has high demands on them, but if they were infected by the orcs again and again, the Empire would give up on them in the past."

"They decided to take matters into their own hands and, well... the lies just kept getting bigger and bigger."

"It wasn't until dawn that the orcs were everywhere, the city had been destroyed, and the tithe had been reduced, then they waited for the Astra Militarum."

Avada turned to Staff Officer Redwin. "Can I drop the charge against him, Staff Officer?"

Redwine turned from Arvada to Governor Misom. "No, Lieutenant Colonel, that's fine. I'm right, he thinks the Planetary Governor has no jurisdiction over it, but he does feel that the matter is indeed...worthwhile..."

Governor Misom pleaded. "No, no, no! Please bring the Inquisition into this."

"Shut up," Redwin said. "Failure to report an ork infection is tantamount to treason."

Avada turned to Major General Nilom. "Sir, he knows and I have done a good job in clearing the Gondvar system of Orcs, but the actions of the Gondvar VI government have destroyed that effort."

"Right now, they have really big war bosses in that world, and it's definitely going to be a lot worse."

"How could they be worse, Lieutenant Colonel?" Nilom asked.

"If they don't lift the blockade, they won't even be able to evacuate, and if anyone realizes the reality, they will be..."

Before he finished speaking, a lieutenant walked into the room in a panic. "Sir!"

"The Navy said they won't try to resupply, the losses are beyond imagination!"

Major General Nilom's face turned red.

"Sir?" the lieutenant repeated.

The major general sighed and made a crazy decision.

"Lieutenant!"

"No, sir!" said the lieutenant.

he answered. "I answer them, the orc blockade is ending, right after..."

"A week away!"
