Chapter 16

"Let the people in the wolf group take it easy when they find it. Don't kill him directly. The more accurate information about the two worlds will fall on the prisoner!"

"No problem, no problem. Now the people from the wolf group are following me in infiltration. I think I must have relatively high authority on how to deal with that guy if I find him - hey, it's another radio, let's not talk about it for now."

"Okay, you go ahead and contact me as soon as you find me."

After the brief chat with Hammer, Gu returned his main attention to the main battlefield he was responsible for. At this moment, the land selected as the bombardment area in the Howling Wilds was covered and turned over by drizzle of firepower. Surface, gunpowder smoke, various indistinguishable fragments, and unextinguished flames can be seen everywhere. Even the color of the soil itself has been 'dyed' to look like a battlefield.

"The Ultramarines will begin mopping up operations one minute after the bombardment ends. I will personally go to the front line to command, Lord Mardiush, keep in touch."

After a quick glance at the battlefield situation and confirming that the largest cluster of profane servitors that could be observed so far was less than or equal to ten, Gu felt that staying in the command center was a waste of time. He turned around and walked out. The command room, followed, he stopped at the door when he thought of something.

"By the way, Lord Mardiush, when the Ultramarines carry out mopping up operations as a team of 2-3 people, arrange for your people to follow as a team."

19. Respective trends

The wilderness after being baptized by artillery fire was parched.

Craters still smoking can be seen everywhere, the soil and gravel that have been thrown up and fallen still have a slight residual warmth, and metal fragments that once belonged to cannonballs or rockets or blown-up blasphemous servitors are scattered all over the ground.

However, even if they have been deeply 'ploughed' by heavy artillery and rockets, even if the Howling Wilderness has been turned over, some of the 'lucky' blasphemous servitors that have not been destroyed are still stubbornly in this area. Moving on the ground, these cursed, abominable, and sad existences gathered together again according to their program after the sound of artillery fire stopped, dragging them along.

The intact or broken bodies continued to move numbly in the direction of the spacecraft launch center - and when their 'sense' told them that there were living humanoid creatures nearby, these twisted existences quickly gave up temporarily. After finding the target, they pounced in the direction they 'perceived'.

Then, because of this behavior, they received a gift——

Rest brought by bolters and lasers.

————————————The cleaning team is cleaning——————————————————

"Gu report, Gu report, the latest news, the latest news, the bombardment phase on my side is over, I am letting the U regiment people take the Cadillac team to clean up the remaining blasphemy in the vehicle - the efficiency is good so far, look It will take less than a week for the alarm near the space center to be lifted."

Gu had just blasted away two blasphemous servitors with a precise blast, and was now carrying a power sword to kill a group of blasphemous servitors. He further used this opportunity to become familiar with the body he regarded as his descendant. With the power of the chess piece, he opened the Hammer Guy chat room and started bragging with other Hammer Guys - about ten seconds later, Egg was the first to reply.

"I have burned all the way to the wreckage of the transport ship that crashed near the large smelting plant. I am going to take my little brother up there to see if there is anything I can touch."

"...That ship is just a modified transport ship. What can you touch? Don't you think your whole way of thinking will start to become garbage just because you used the Oil Man's chess piece to descend into the body?" "

"Hey, Liang Feifan, you are just not being familiar with the price of firewood and rice. Although theoretically we have unlimited ammunition and logistical resources, we are really short of some things now. The first one is the ability to propel large-mass things into the sky. It’s not like you don’t know the load of the transport plane that was pulled out from the space center. According to that load, it would be easy to transport our current chess pieces and the empire’s troops to the universe for a month!”

Hearing Liang Feifan's complaints, Dan Dan, who was already the logistics manager of the entire Soseki world's imperial forces, immediately pointed out his 'mistake' in a 'subtle tone'.

"Ha, that's true - speaking of which, how is Abathur's recent advancement speed? Has he already captured the third space station?"

After a moment of thinking, Liang Feifan realized his 'mistake' and readily 'apologized' while changing the subject without leaving a trace. When he heard his name being called, Abathur immediately appeared.

"No, I stopped the invasion after I captured the second space station. Didn't Anjing tell you? He asked me to transfer the main force to work side by side with his ribs."

"Ah? Silence? What did you find?"

Abathur's words immediately diverted the hammer guys' attention again, and at the same time they were ready to eat something. After all, the only ones who have the ability to fight in the universe are Shen Jing and Abathur. This rib hammer guy suddenly Let Abathur's Tyranids go over to help suppress the situation. There must be something important to do!

"I'm not sure yet. I'm just taking precautions. If it happens, I'll let you know."

Silence replied, but the Riddler.

"cut----"

Silence's "righteous" riddle successfully earned the middle fingers of the Hammers who were currently bragging and chatting. Just when they were about to try to "force" Silence to find out what he had discovered, the words of the Chosen One diverted the attention of all the Hammers again and again.

"Everyone! Good news! I caught a living traitor!"

————————————————Mine No. 3, underground——————————————————

Shaking like sieve bran.

Burying his head tightly and not daring to raise it.

Begging for mercy incoherently, swearing that he was forced, and saying that he was willing to confess anything.

When the God's Chosen used the radio signal sent out by the traitor who was hiding in the underground of the No. 3 mine and wanted to "do something big", he easily found his hiding place and blocked this guy in the cave effortlessly. The man who looked only about 30 years old had soft legs and knelt down very smoothly. He also made a series of actions that made the wolf group men who followed the God's Chosen nauseous. When the wolf group men smelled a certain odor gradually emanating from him, their disgust for this thing reached its peak.

"Champion, how to deal with this guy?"

Rubbing his teeth hard, controlling his emotions, Gary Wolf tried his best not to look at this thing, and spoke in a deep voice-Gray Hunter understood that this champion veteran from the Dark Raven Guard did not burn it immediately after discovering this disgusting thing, and he must have had some plans.

"He said he was willing to confess everything."

The God's Chosen spoke, but what he said made Gary slightly raise his eyebrows.

"He can't possibly know too much, Champion."

"If we just use normal means, he won't give us any valuable intelligence, but the good news is that some of the means we can use now are unconventional."

"You mean-?"

Gali frowned and thought of some customs on Fenris.

"No, this kind of risky thing should be left to our 'allies'-don't worry, 'they' are trustworthy before things go to the last step."

The Chosen One said this and walked to the traitor, lifted him up gently, and then smiled at him with the corner of his mouth without a helmet-not like the Raven Guard, but more like the gloomy smile of the Night Lord.

"Then I'll take you to a place where you can confess everything."

Twenty. The information obtained

Will the Astartes watch humans being tortured by aliens?

In fact, even if the Astartes have betrayed the Empire, as long as they have not fallen too deeply into Chaos, when facing the Empire and the aliens at the same time, their first target of hatred is very likely to be the aliens rather than the Empire - because the design genes of these Emperor's warriors have been engraved with hatred for non-human races. When faced with the situation of humans being slaughtered by aliens, these superhuman warriors will almost instinctively make a choice. .

However, for the Astartes who are still loyal to the Empire, is there an exception to this?

Yes, there is.

That is, when a certain human has shamelessly betrayed the Empire, joined the Empire's great enemy, and even made a series of evil moves against the Empire...

—————————————The dividing line of the Eldar——————————————————————

"Ah——————Ah——————!!"

"No————I really don't know————Ahhh——————I——I remember————Yes! That's it!"

"Don't————Don't use that thing————Waaaaa——————"

"Please——————"

Somewhere in Sosekhi, a phase that cannot be found by normal means, some things that cannot happen under normal circumstances in the Warhammer 40K universe are happening - the traitor caught by the Chosen was handed over to Liang Feifan's bean sprouts, and Liang Feifan's bean sprouts turned around and took this guy to their Miaomiao House - in this interesting place, Liang Feifan's large number of white bean sprout chess pieces and a small number of black bean sprout chess pieces put down for certain purposes live in harmony, fighting together for the great cause of the Emperor. 【Welcome to the group of night raiders】:.6;9?.4?:9.,3:""6!，1:3";5?."

And now, the traitor who was sent here was tied tightly to something that was probably a pillar, enjoying the "service" from both the black bean sprouts and the white bean sprouts, and being accurately "touched" from heart to soul. The traitor who received such a great gift recalled everything he knew exactly in the first second when he began to feel this "happiness". He expressed in a rhythmic and distorted voice that he was a shameful traitor who did not deserve such preferential treatment, and swore in various vicious ways that he really knew only so much! All he wanted now was death!

"Your destiny has already pointed to annihilation, but your annihilation may turn into a beacon."

After confirming that the traitor probably really "repented" sincerely, Liang Feifan, the bishop of the Ark Spirit Tribe, did not hesitate to use the soul of the traitor, whose body was already highly mutilated, as a medium for psychic spells. The soul of this person born in the world of Balaton has a connection with the world soul of Balaton's world that even a slightly stronger psyker cannot detect, and has made some simple changes in time to the world of Balaton. 's psychic retrieval, he collected some information that was impossible to find by conventional means. After assuming such an important responsibility, this traitor also 'smiledly' obtained the Emperor's power by disintegrating his soul and completely disintegrating his body. forgiveness——

Well, I probably got the Emperor's forgiveness.

————————————The dividing line among hammer guys————————————————

"Come on, come on, the timeline of the Balaton Rebellion is here - let's take the world of Balaton and compare it with normal history. Where did something go wrong in this galaxy?"

With the end of the torture, a report about the major events that happened in Balaton for a long time was also sent to the Queen of Glory. The hammer guys who got this unexpected surprise immediately asked Big E for the original After reading the history, they immediately compared the differences between the normal history and this changed history with great interest in the world of Balaton. Soon, the hammer guys found the problem.

"...In the normal timeline, the subspace communication of Balaton's black machine oil guys failed to recruit any manpower, and the intensity of the rebellion set off was very low. It was almost solved by the oil guys in Balaton's world themselves. , but when the galaxy began to be surrounded by subspace storms, their subspace communication attracted a Chaos Astartes warband who believed in Slaanesh? "

"This Chaos Astartes warband directly defeated the hive world, and in the normal timeline hive world it can be said that nothing happened - this in turn led to problems with PDF troop sources in the agricultural world, and the green skins Controlling more than 90% of the planet's surface at a speed more than three times faster than the normal timeline. In the normal timeline - when the Empire's vanguard arrived, these greenskins only controlled 6%. Fifteen or so planets.”

"Then the subspace storm blocked the retreat, and the imperial troops that had just been airdropped were collectively trapped in Soseki - through the empire's attack on the space

At the time when there was a critical vacancy in space control, the Black Machine Oil Man and the Chaos Astartes successfully colluded and completely seized control of the Forge World. After that, the subspace storm once again intensified, and the Morton Hess galaxy was completely destroyed. Communication in the core area of ​​the empire was cut off and it became an isolated island. "

"So, is there anything noteworthy in the world of Balaton? At least it's a medium-sized forging world, with a hive world and a mineral world squatting next to it. It must have something to offer."

"I don't know. Big E doesn't have very detailed information at hand, but I think it would be normal for a medium-sized forging world to hide two Gotyans or larger Reaver Titans - is there any way we can counter the Titans now? ?”

"Yes, Commissar Sister's Shadow Sword. It feels like the only thing we brought this time that can pose a direct threat to Titan."

"...It's a bit mysterious. With the size and maneuverability of the Shadow Sword in the real universe, I'm afraid it won't be used as a target by Titan first."

"Well, we haven't said anything about this yet, let's just discuss it for fun - Guah! When the meeting is held later, the explanation will be left to you again. Who told you that you are the 'only Asta who can understand the riddle of bean sprouts' What about Te?"

"...It's not a big problem. When will the meeting be held?"

"It's better to choose a day than to hit the sun. I think the brother of the wolf group is also a little anxious. Let's choose it in an hour. God's Choice, contact the brother of the wolf group and tell him that the information has been obtained! We need to use this information to study Here’s a counterattack plan!”

21. Precursors of ‘ambush’ in space

Gary Wolf felt a little headache.

In other words, the high-ranking imperial officers who are not Hammermen currently attending the meeting all feel very headache.

They have successfully used their own logic to understand why such a mixed force of Imperial Astartes, whose numbers are average but of particularly high quality, would forcibly appear in the Morton Hess system without warning due to the guidance of the Eldar aliens. They repeatedly While flipping through the torture information that Gu had personally 'translated', and thinking carefully about the horror hidden behind this series of things, the bishop of the Mechanicum, played by the egg, also stretched out his hand and pretended to point in front of him, Didi. Didi was thinking about the 'future' in a serious way.

"Well, at least I have to admit that those alien gadgets are quite useful so far - but if the intelligence provided by those Eldar aliens is completely true, then our opponents will not only have the ability to 'throw a bunch of garbage' into The ability on our head.”

After reading this information at least three times, Galli Wolf had already outlined their current situation in their mind, and this situation was definitely not a good one - before the hammer guys arrived, they once thought that what happened in Ba The rebellion of Rodon and Udal is a common version of the empire's rebellion. It is a problem that can be dealt with quickly after solving the green skin problem in the world of Marko. Then, after knowing that the opponent was going to throw a bunch of blasphemous things some time ago, they He removed the answer in his mind and labeled these two worlds as Chaos traitors, and now?

This is no longer an ordinary chaos rebellion! Under normal circumstances, the fall of a galaxy involving the Chaos Astartes and the Dark Mechanicus would require a force headed by a Great Company of Astartes to solve the problem!

Um...it seems like they really have a Great Company of Astartes here? There is even about one and a half more Dalian, that is...

"We have allocated 85% of our manpower and material resources to repairing the launch pad and improving the space vehicles on hand. I promise here that after waiting for at most one month, you will be able to start stable transportation to space. Troops - and the speed will get faster and faster."

After finishing his 'thinking', Egg raised his head and reassured those present in advance.

"In addition to this information, the aliens also mentioned one thing. In order to make our cooperation smoother, they are willing to help us deal with the guys who have taken refuge with the Chaos Evil God in the space station near Soseki - if we need it. "

Seeing that everyone in the True Empire present understood the meaning of this information, in order to prevent some accidents from happening, Gu immediately killed the snake and followed the stick, deducting the credit of several space stations cleared by Abathur in advance. He gave Liang Feifan some white bean sprouts. At the same time, when he said these words, he naturally saw the brows of the Galli Wolf and Lord Mardiush frowning.

"According to calculations, if those aliens really do this, then the pressure for us to return to space will be reduced by 41.65 percentage points. At the same time, the amount of materials we need to prepare for returning to space will also be reduced by at least 11.21 percentage points. I will go on this matter Talk to those aliens."

However, before the Gali Wolf could say anything, the Iron Hand Captain chess piece controlled by the Commissar Sister spoke first and took the topic in his hand. He heard that there was the Iron Hand Captain with the largest number of Astartes troops under his command. After speaking, he also turned his attention to the Imperial Fist Captain controlled by Liang Feifan. Seeing the hint from the political commissar sister, Liang Feifan 'thought' for about three seconds and nodded slightly.

"Imperial Fists, no objection."

——————————————The dividing line among hammer guys——————————————————————

"Ah! Another round of successful deception——"

Standing above Queen Rongguang, Liang Feifan slapped his mouth, yawned widely, and watched with satisfaction that the battle plan, which was in fact completely concocted by the hammer guys, was passed in a 'very democratic' way.

, beside him, the political commissar arranged her Iron Hand and IG to do things, and then connected the communication to Abathur and Ji Jing, who had been squatting in the war room for a while and had not come out.

"Silence, Abathur, we've got it done down there, did you find anything over there?"

"Hey hey hey - look at what we found, we've caught up, look!!"

About a second later, Abathur's somewhat "smug" laughter sounded in the communicator, and at the same time, a 3D projection of a ship appeared in the projection area of ​​the bridge.

"...Slaanesh's warship? Is this what you're doing in emotional silence?"

"Yes, before my Pai Gu completed an effective electronic invasion of part of the space station in that hive world, and then unexpectedly saw many Chaos traitors carrying all kinds of messy things onto the ship, I just I lurked nearby to see if I could catch a big fish. Unexpectedly, I actually caught it! "

A silent voice followed Abathur's voice, and there was also a hint of pride in his tone - even the hammer guys here could see that such a ship must not only transport a few crooked melons and cracked dates, but also a few crooked melons and dates. There is a high probability that some warriors from the Slaanesh Astartes warband are sitting in it and setting off. If it can be destroyed...

Hey, that scene is wonderful just thinking about it!

"Do you need support? My bean sprouts still have some space combat capabilities."

Liang Feifan glanced at the bean sprout chess pieces under his command, and felt that he could probably have a share in this matter... ah no, give his comrades some support, but to his regret, Ji Jing and Aba Se rejected him at the same time.

"Not good. Your chess piece is a white bean sprout, the favorite prey of Slaanesh's stuff. It's a bit stupid to be exposed now. It would be better to give them a surprise when the big counterattack attacks the hive world - in fact, we kind of want this ship It died silently."

"...This is okay. Having said that, isn't it a bit difficult to let them die silently? According to the family background of the Wandering Chaos Astartes, if something goes wrong with this ship in the galaxy, they will You should be able to notice it?”

"Just take it as a challenge - if it succeeds, our two races can still hang out in the universe as surprise soldiers for a long time - after all, even if they are chaotic things, knowing that there are still tyrannies and ribs in this galaxy, they can do things well More cautious, right?"

"Indeed - then come on."

"Don't worry, in the worst case scenario we can turn this ship into a complete space hulk - Abathur, wait another hour and a half before we take action?"

"No problem, my swarm is already hungry!"

22. Chaos warship that was ‘jumped’

The aroma is astounding, and the cups and plates are in a mess.

The Chaos Astartes, who were ‘wearing’ clothes made of human skin, silk, and colorful flowers with patterns full of decadence and decay, were lying on the ground in the bridge of the warship that had been infected by the power of Slaanesh. Their eyes were crooked and bubbles were coming out of their mouths and noses. Logically, these superhuman warriors should always be vigilant, but under the ‘earnest guidance’ of the God of Joy, the Astartes of the Angels of Bliss had forgotten all the qualities that could be called good, and only the pursuit of perfection remained.

The pursuit of ‘perfection’ anytime and anywhere.

“Huh——ha————!”

Just as the captain of this special Asta team continued to inject drugs into his body and enjoy the dizzy pleasure, a violent psychic stimulation that could not provide him with any sense of pleasure suddenly hit his nerves, causing him to move involuntarily. This action caused him to crush a tube hanging on his body, and also made him slightly sober.

"Ah-ah-waste-waste-I could have-"

However, although his mind returned to reality, the body of this Chaos Astartes still called for pleasure and enjoyment. He smacked his twisted and deformed mouth, moved his body, and tried to extend his severely mutated tongue to lick the chemical juice flowing on the ground.
