Chapter 120 Return to hometown, green skin rises again
The void is vast and huge, and an expedition across half of the extreme star field is difficult in the eyes of mortals, but for the entire universe, it is just a bug that has traveled through very small areas.
The Bordero, this weathered Imperial warship is already full of monsters and monsters, countless messy things. You can imagine the Imperial Guard, Tau armor and Knight Titan coexisting in the same room, and you can also imagine that the Mechanic Priest girl may have already Reached the climax of human emotion in the desire for knowledge.
But no matter what, what they are doing now still makes this dark empire look dark in this desperate era.
The lieutenant took a picture of the cockpit of the Titan. This place was originally a good place made of adamantine, but now it has become a hollow. The firepower of the Imperial Guard has almost completely penetrated it, making it impossible to die.
The Empire can definitely repair this Titan, but only if it is worth repairing. There must be people with the ability to repair it in the knight family with STC or on Mars, but in this era, the changes and adaptations required for repair are far less than Reinvent a knight.
And although the area next to the maelstrom cannot be considered a remote area, it is not a human center like the core area of Terra. There must be someone who can repair the huge void, but it is too difficult to find it here.
Rather than repairing it, everyone would probably be more inclined to disassemble this machine that has gone through a long period of time. The parts are used to shape new equipment, and the metal is used to cast weapons and armor.
Fortunately, Skadi's only regiment is not so ruthless. As an Imperial Guard infantry regiment with a fine tradition (picking up rags), they always hold the ideological policy of "whatever you have is enough" and the terrifying spirit of infuriating the Mechanicus to death, and embrace the spirit of innovation. , under the murderous eyes of the priest sister of the Mechanicus, the transformation of the Knight Titan began.
First of all, the main loss was the cockpit, so the entire cockpit was needed first. Under the captain's whimsy, Skadi's only regiment used local materials and connected it with the cockpit of the Sentinel mecha.
The shortcomings are obvious. Without mental control and biological linkage, it cannot be as terrifying as a human-machine integration like a normal knight titan. After all, the true successor of the heroic knight can fight in close combat with the big demon.
The biggest problem with the Sentinel is that it has no elbows. The Knight can move, but it cannot. It basically loses its melee capability. Moreover, the information transmission conversion interface created by Skadi's only team has a slow transmission speed, just like playing games with high latency, making it The Knight Titan can then only be used as a turret.
Moreover, the Sentinel does not have the ion shield operating equipment, nor can it activate the shield as flexibly as the Knight Titan. Skadi's only group can only give the driver the entire radio, hold it in his mouth, and if he wants to open the ion shield, just bite it, and the end of the radio will An electric current is emitted to activate the shield.
In this way, in the wildest way and with the simplest green-skin casting style, a clearly welded Knight Titan stands on the earth again, but obviously this thing is just a toy when it comes to a real Titan.
However, under the protection of Skadi's only regiment, its firepower can be used at will, and the effect will not be too bad. The only drawback is that the Mechanicus will probably shout heresy when they see it, and then use their third hand to slash at it.
Secondly, the Knight Titan has been scrapped, and the remaining body has been possessed by the Sentinel, and its machine soul has turned into a Sentinel mecha. To describe it, it has transformed from an ancient noble warrior into a World War II heavyweight...
After a month of dark transformation, the second lieutenant looked at his new vehicle with satisfaction, which made people's eyes darken.
The Mechanicus Priest girl fell into extreme tolerance for the Imperial Guard after seeing Dark Age technology, Tau weapons, green-skinned equipment, Knight Titans, etc., many treasures that the Mechanicus had never touched in their lives.
She knew that she could dismantle more good things in the future, so she endured it now and even provided the second lieutenant with a lot of welding advice.
Alan Bayer is optimistic about this matter. Can you just use it if you don't see the green skin thinking about it?
Compared with this, he was looking at the star map on the bridge at the moment. They had reached the middle of the Pangia sub-sector, and they could return to Gondwar VI as long as they performed a subspace jump for a while.
The homecoming expedition is about to come to an end, but people have complicated emotions. It has been a year and a half since they left, and although the void is changing endlessly, nothing should have happened.
But at the end of the journey, what stood in front of them was still the damn thing called subspace. Although compared to the violent storms a year ago, the subspace storms in the Pangia sub-sector are no longer violent, but they are still crazy. , and it would take at least several decades to physically fly across a star region, but Alan Bayer did not dare to wait any longer.
"Captain, have subspace storms decreased during this time?"
the captain replied. "It is a miracle that it is stable. According to the records and reports of the nearby Astra Militarum, the subspace storm has not weakened at all within a year, completely blocking their passage. However, when we approach this star area, the subspace storm breaks out. It started to decrease gradually.”
"The Emperor must be helping us..."
Alan Bayer could not deny that they had been helped by countless good fortunes along the way, but he did not believe in luck, so the Lord of Humanity must be behind this. In this dark void, only his sight could cross it. The distant galaxy is around everyone.
"How much has the subspace been alleviated?"
he asked.
the captain replied. "Probably, it can barely pass. If it is a battleship like the Bordero, it should have a 60% chance of passing, but the subspace storms are decreasing every day. I recommend waiting..."
Alan Bayer cursed. "What are you waiting for! Let's go directly! We have to fight back 20% of it. You don't know the current situation in this sector!"
The captain was a little shocked, but he agreed. "Ah... Indeed, if the Emperor really bless us, we should be able to get by, all ready, start the warp engine!"
The huge hull of the Bordeaux submerged into the subspace, causing ripples in the non-physical world. The subspace storm caused the ship's body to sway, but it was by no means unable to sail. In the frightening abnormal swing, Bordeaux The number moved forward slowly.
This voyage does not need to cross the entire star sector. A journey of only a few days only takes a little more than a day in the subspace. However, under the influence of the subspace storm, this situation becomes increasingly inaccurate, but the turbulence of this intensity It shouldn't be something outrageous that would cause them to go straight back to the Dark Ages.
It is not uncommon for imperial ships to traverse the subspace for various reasons. Many times, humans need to do this, and even Alan Bair's voyage is far from dangerous.
The day stretched to a long and suffocating time. Amidst the anxiety, the ship successfully passed through the subspace area and reached the Mandeville Point of Gondva VI.
The moment the ship returned to the real universe, the entire universe was filled with messy information. It was countless rescue information from the Gondwa sub-sector. After analysis, it was found that at least fifty rebellions and thirty alien invasions had occurred in this sub-sector. , a serious shortage of troops, and large-scale cult incidents. Just the information coming from various places is shocking.
But Alan Baier soon discovered that there seemed to be not much news on Gundwa VI. Dozens of messages were sent from dozens of worlds in this sub-sector, and there were hundreds of duplicates, but Gundwa VI seemed to have Very peaceful.
He breathed a sigh of relief and said to his staff. "Well done to them, well done to them."
But the relaxed mood has not yet dissipated. The ship suddenly encountered a strange radio signal, which came from a nearby planet, and there is only one planet here.
Allan Bair and the Astra Militarum officers here held their breaths, and finally Allan Bair answered. "Connected."
After the sizzling noise, a human voice came. "This is Gondwa VI, the imperial world. Please do not let unknown ships drift in the area. If you do not indicate your intention, we will bombard you in three seconds."
There was no tenderness or welcome, just opening the mouth was like this, but this was also a normal attitude in a sector that had experienced war, and Alan Bair just cleared his throat.
"I am the commander of the fourth Skadi Regiment, Lieutenant Colonel Alan Bayer. I took the battleship Bordero back to my area of responsibility. What happened?"
The radio was obviously chaotic for a moment, then burst into various noisy sounds, and finally turned into a sentence.
"Boss, are you back?"
It sounds like Mr. John's voice has become tougher during this time. The few cheating, slippery ways and other sillier aspects have faded away. The world has become his melting pot, forging a powerful planetary governor.
Alan Bair cursed. "You're going to bombard me when you come up, right? I crossed half of the extreme star field just for this?"
An uneasy voice came from the communicator. "No, boss, it's just, hey... too many things have happened during this period. Let's land at the star port first, and I'll get you some food."
"You are reluctant, Captain, please give me a ride again." Alan Bair nodded.
the captain replied. "One trip? It's no problem to travel half the empire. Compared to this, I will get off the boat this time. Navy soldiers are not made of iron. This time I will not let you live in poverty in Karu City!"
Over the radio, Governor John Dehn answered. "There is no shortage of food to eat. During this period of time, we have found special crop seeds from the Dark Ages. They are all plants tailor-made for the environment of this world. Their production capacity is quite terrifying. During this period of darkness, we provide all the food in the nearby world. ”
Alan Beyer replied. "Good guy, are you rich?"
John answered. "Zai Fu is also a member of Skadi's Fourth Regiment. During this period, we used food to import minerals and made tens of thousands of deflagration guns. However, in order not to pollute the environment, large-scale production has not been carried out."
"The real treasure of this world is the environment here, and it is also the basis for the high yield of genetic crops, but in general, it will definitely be no problem to provide you with the boss to fight."
Alan Beyer replied. "Yes, yes, His Majesty the Emperor, he really loves you, boy. How does it feel to go from a little liar to the richest governor in the sector?"
John answered. "Boss, they are all promoted by you. Hurry up and give the brothers of Skadi's Fourth Regiment a shotgun!"
Friends haven’t seen each other for a long time, so they naturally talked a lot. The Bordero slowly landed in the star port. The place has now changed a lot. It is no longer a light spear defense, but has a cannon that is enough to tear apart a battleship. The size of the star port Even bigger, countless spaceships come and go, and the prosperity of many worlds gathers here.
In the absence of warp transportation, Gondvar VI has become a beacon for the surrounding worlds. Even the PDFs of Gondvar VI often rely on civilian ships to leave like the Astra Militarum to help other worlds suppress rebellions.
The Lieutenant General's arrival has also turned this place into a huge and indestructible military base. The satellites here have almost become a second military department. Contact was cut off due to the impact of the subspace storm, but the soldiers still need command. Under the Imperial Lieutenant General Under his command, this place became the military core area of the Gondwa sub-sector.
The warp storm not only did not bring suffering to the ill-fated green gem Gundvar VI, but instead allowed her to flourish and become a rare pearl in the empire.
The soldiers who had been away for a long time stepped out of the battleship in confusion, and the ensign couldn't help but ask Alan Bair. "Boss, this is the backcountry. I remember that this star port was empty before, as if it was dead."
The ensign looked at the cars coming and going, the transport ships almost never stopping, and people crowding here to enjoy the transportation and services.
The arrival of the Skadi Fourth Regiment (the only one) created a rare vacuum in Gundwa VI Starport. Countless people watched the unknown Imperial Guard fall with vigilance, but some people who had lived here for a long time suddenly call out.
"The Fourth Skadi Regiment?!"
The atmosphere instantly became strange, and then Alan Bair quickly found the center of the star port and built his statue in the same way as a martyr, that is, a tombstone for a great man.
He couldn't help but frown, thinking that he was not to blame for so many disasters during this period, why don't you just stop cursing me?
Alan Bair sighed, and the person who picked them up also came. It was a gorgeous special car used by the imperial nobles, showing the wealth of its owner. A brown-haired lady stepped out, dressed as gorgeously as a peacock.
"Ah, so you like this style, sergeant?" Alan Bayer frowned. He has never been able to understand the aesthetics of the nobility. In his eyes, simplicity and lethality are the aesthetics.
The beautiful lady's cheeks turned red, and she instantly returned to the days when she was serving. It had only been two years, but the feeling was completely different.
But her temperament as a diplomat remains. "Lieutenant Colonel, please get in the car. We are going to the Planetary Governor's Mansion. Karu City has prepared the best banquet for you."
Alan Bair smiled. "I still think you were cuter before."
The sergeant frowned and pressed himself in front of his former commander, the rich scent of the imperial aristocratic perfume filling the air. "I am also a noble now, how many please..."
Alan Bair pointed at the Chimera. "If you sit here, your crappy car can't even withstand a salvo."
The lady officer secretly made a face without being seen by others, and then gracefully stepped into the Chimera's cockpit.
"It's so small...Is this where I used to go on missions?"
Alan Beyer took the main seat. "You used to be at the back, smaller, okay, now tell me, what happened in this sector..."
He started the engine, and the buzzing sound drowned out their conversation. The sergeant wiped the complicated makeup off his face and sighed. "The Black-Hearted King is back. He has ruled half of the star sector in just one year and is ready to sweep the Maelstrom again."
"And we are troubled by subspace storms. Lieutenant General is fighting every day, so we can barely maintain a very small area near this world."
"But during this time, a group of orcs suddenly jumped to the vicinity of this world using strange means and began to attack commercial ships. The survivors said that the orc leader claimed to be one-eyed and was a blood axe."
Alan Bayer said calmly. "One-Eye must be dead, but he actually still has fans? And the Black Heart King's battle group suffered heavy losses. I hope that kid still dares to get close to the rain forest, but two of his defeated generals are making a comeback now?"
The mansion in the distance was getting closer and closer, and his thoughts were interrupted. "That's all, let's reminisce about the past. I can kill One-Eye once, but I can kill him twice. If I can defeat the Black Heart King once, I can defeat him twice."
"Compared to this, I have been eating smoked meat for a month! It's so disgusting!"
The sergeant laughed, and she covered her mouth, realizing again that the Imperial Guard officer in front of her had no idea what he had gone through, but he had definitely become stronger and more like a real hero...
But he hasn't changed, he still likes to touch the taboos in other people's eyes, and he is still unrestrained. (End of chapter)
