Chapter 172 Genius Arya Earthquake Cannon Thank you, the great Huron Emperor
Under the leadership of Arya, the Imperial Guard came to that place. The situation was different from what Alan Bair expected. This was not a Skitarii barracks or a very dangerous place, but a villa and manor.
To be precise, it should be a villa of a rich man. It is in a remote location and has complex terrain. Countless exotic flowers and plants are planted in the garden by servants. Small machines constantly spread fertilizer and water. It was also a villa that was purchased during this time. , he himself only lived there briefly, but its level of luxury made Alan Bayer have to comment that it was the ultimate bastard.
How many people in this world are desperate for water. They work day and night for a small amount of water that circulates countless times. As a result, they are used to water flowers here...
Because this place was no longer considered an enemy-occupied area, Alan Bair only brought Catachan, a few people moving things, and two civilian fuel vehicles, and this mansion, which covered an area of 1,000 meters and had sufficient supplies, did not allow him to disappointment.
Gorgeous imperial reliefs are engraved with inscriptions praising the master's life on the walls of his manor. The exaggerated High Gothic language ensures that no ordinary person can understand it. The genetically modified special flowers transported from several imperial worlds are colorful. It was planted here, but now it has no other source of nutrition except the corpse of the gardener in a housekeeper's uniform.
The poor man seemed to have been shot through by an automatic gun while working. There were also many servants who looked like servants fell on the huge road of this manor.
The castle has a Gothic style, and the miniature version of the cooling equipment similar to that used in the hive on the tip of the castle also shows that there is an absolutely stable energy supply installed inside. He has installed a nuclear reactor in at least his own castle.
Alan Bair brushed over the Gothic words and read them without any pressure. "Alexander Hamil, the person who signed the contract with the emperor ten thousand years ago, the leader of the merchant dynasty, holds the plunder license (Alan Bair's "pet name" for the merchant license), and creates thousands of properties here. , no one can enter..."
Even so, the gate of the manor made of fine gold has been melted by the heat. The servants inside were shot mercilessly by the heretics of the Mechanicus. Because there is no owner, no defense force has been arranged. The beautiful marble walls have been beaten into holes, and the garden's The fence was also trampled by the servitors of the Mechanicus, and traces of small crawlers spread on the ground.
"It's so ironic. Speaking of this name..." Alan Bayer couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. After all, this name is somewhat interesting in Gutera.
And a little girl who was too precocious suddenly shouted in that clipped tone. "It's amazing, the officer brother can also read Gothic!"
Alan Beyer only felt his ears tingling. "That's enough, stop pretending, these are all hard-hearted butchers. I've killed more aliens than you've ever seen."
"I heard what the captain said about you, my child. Children like you usually go to Zhongsi Academy. If I am a slave to you, I have to thank the sage who adopted me. That place is not for people."
Next to him, the chief of staff who was born in Zhongji Academy coughed. "Well, leader, pay attention to your wording."
Alan Bair rubbed the tip of his nose, and the girl responded. "Yes, I should really thank my father, but I haven't seen him since the war..."
"I'm afraid of being orphaned again. I'm thinking that maybe if I act like some innocent little angel, some officers or other people loyal to the Emperor will be kind to me. I think this can protect myself."
Alan Beyer comments. "You're just wearing a blanket, you can't do anything."
"Compared with this, tell me how you know this place?"
Arya pointed to the spot next to the wall. "I recently moved to a new home near here, and there is a dog hole there. I often go there to play, but my father doesn't know about it because he is actually very strict with me."
"Of course, he is very nice, but I hope someone can tell him that for a little girl, a bedtime story should not read the diary of a certain imperial merchant captain. I wonder if he simply read that book for a long time."
"The first time I heard a green man beat a man's face to pieces, then pulled out all his teeth, and shouted, "Half a green man's teeth are replaced by shrimp teeth. The shrimps grow slowly but in a long time." I didn't sleep all night. ”
"But the servants here are very good. For example, Crow Creek, who is lying in the garden, will secretly take me to enjoy the embrace of those plants."
"The fallen housekeeper at the gate would secretly get me some pastries. The beautiful maid in the front hall, Rika, taught me how to sew."
"I lack my parents, but many people are still willing to help me. Maybe it's because there are too few children in this world, but you also know, Lieutenant Colonel, this is the world of the Mechanicus. Many people look at me with a feeling of wanting I feel like a puppet.”
"I know that feeling, the feeling when... those Chaos Space Marines look at me..." She sank, and speaking of these people's kindness made her heart tingle again.
"When the chaos started, I was still playing in the manor without telling my father. I got in, and then the servitors came. I was pushed into the small room where the tools were stored by the butler. It was very small, but I was a bit stunted. I am tall. But very thin, after all, there is not much food in this world.”
"I got into those things, debris, strange lawnmowers and the like. Some places were very sharp. My palms were broken, but I still hid and didn't make a sound. I was glad that it wasn't a ranger checking there. Or something like that, but an ordinary fighter servant, otherwise I will definitely be discovered." Her words didn't sound like a self-narration, and Alan Bayer really felt like he was reading the diary of an old veteran of the empire.
Especially the content of her comments about her body was extremely poignant, but he did not interrupt the girl, and Arya continued talking.
"Then I hid inside the mansion under the cover of night. I first went to the easiest place to find, which seemed to be a girl's room with a big bed. It was bigger than my previous home. It was also the first time I discovered those things. Good things, such as the skirt I'm wearing. To be honest, this one is a bit too big, but I think wearing this can make others think that I am a noble or something, and they will not dare to act rashly."
"I think the owner of this house should have a beautiful daughter. In fact, I stayed here for about a week but I still haven't completely investigated this place. It's full of corpses, and there may be servitors hiding there."
"But the curiosity still existed. I immediately went to the high place on the second floor to observe the terrain. After making sure there was no problem, I started looking for places like the cellar, because there was probably food there, but I only found enough in the kitchen. I personally eat a week's worth of food and water, and I can't drink wine, that kind of stuff makes me less awake."
"As for the cellar, I almost discovered it by smelling the smell of promethium. Under the secondary hall at the back of the hall, there is a long underground passage, illuminated with a small amount of promethium lamps. The power supply here is almost independent, and Those servitors didn’t destroy the power, they only killed people.”
"Then I discovered those things. Here I thank my adoptive father again. He taught me how to identify the common weapons of the Human Empire. I relied on the huge uncomposed muzzles and four tracks to identify this model. The Phaethon type shook the ground. The cannon (Phaeton Pattern Earthshaker Platform) has a movable muzzle that can be pulled by the engine. There are about 20 uncomposed high-explosive cannons in the ground about a few hundred meters in size. "
Alan Beyer interjected. "Enough to mow down a lot of things. The Earth-Shaking Cannon has a caliber of 132 mm and can fire 38 kilogram shells at a speed of 814 miles per hour, with a range of more than 15 kilometers. Theoretically speaking, at the maximum range, the Earth-shaking Cannon fires The shell will reach the impact point in 19 seconds, and its power is enough to destroy the main battle tank.”
"Why does a Rogue Trader need so many weapons?"
Arya replied. "I don't know. This mansion is too big. I didn't find the master bedroom. Those earth-shaking cannons are the most valuable things I saw."
Alan Bair nodded. "You did a great job, kid. If you are older, you can apply to join the group."
Arya said. "I want to live longer..." She looked at the countless corpses on the ground. She was used to seeing death and the fragility of life at a very young age, so much so that she believed that everything, including her own life, was also fragile.
Alan Bayer also seemed to have seen through this girl and said. "Your father is very tough. I saw him twice, and all that was left was his head and his spirit."
"Okay, Catachans, take the soldiers to get those things. Miss Arya, I would like to express my respect to you. As an officer of the Imperial Guard, I have to recognize the help you gave me during the war."
"Now, um..." Alan Bair took out a lot of useless badges on his chest and took out the most beautiful gold product inlaid with a lion's heart. It was one of the countless rewards given to him by the empire after he defeated the space hulk. one.
It’s hard to imagine how many badges a commander can get in one war. Alan Beyer is almost breaking the record in this area, so much so that his chest is starting to feel overwhelmed. The badge material is too tight on the crotch, otherwise it will definitely be stronger than carapace armor. There is also a faith bonus.
He took off the thing that was oppressing him and handed it to the bravest and craziest girl he had ever seen.
Arya hesitated. "This is too valuable."
Alan Beyer simply replied. "Compared to your help, it is worthless. Take it. If you can't eat one day, sell it to it. In the eyes of avid collectors, the genuine Imperial Military Affairs Department badge can be sold for 1,500 throne coins, which is equivalent to level 15. The civilized Mechanicus forges a professional priest in the world for one month's salary."
You understand it so well, Alan Bair understands it so well. After saying these words, Arya couldn't help but take away the badge. She knew very well that her good life now was all due to her sage father, and she also understood it. If she couldn't catch him, she would almost die on the street, just like those kind-hearted people.
"Thank you." She lowered her head, put away the badge, and then led the Skadi soldiers into this huge place, but Alan Bair did not follow them to get the cannons.
Although he was extremely concerned about heavy firepower, as the commander of the Imperial Guard, he had to prepare for things that could threaten humanity.
Something was definitely wrong with Mr. Alexander, his gut buzzing as he walked into the castle and watched as the Skadis made their way into the basement while he chose to go upstairs to find the master bedroom.
Soon he felt that there was really no place to play with someone's money. Even though he was an adult Imperial Guard officer with super physical strength, he walked around this damn place for a long time but couldn't see anything like the master bedroom.
The castle, which is several kilometers in size, is almost at the level of a small city. It is almost impossible to complete it in a short time without transportation tools. This short time refers to within one hour.
What's more, the castle is not a very flat thing. It has 2-3-4-5-6 floors. Alan Bayer alone wants to find that room enough for him to spend the remaining half a month attacking the world. Time is spent.
"No, no, no..." Alan Bayer looked at the rooms that kept repeating. Those doors seemed to be cursed and maze-like, surrounding him. They were clearly neat and orderly, but they made him feel disorganized. Who could need so many rooms? ?
"No..." Alan Bair suddenly realized his misunderstanding. This place was not an important place in the empire, and he did not need to maintain the place as it was.
He pulled out his powered scythe. "This is what we need to deal with capitalists..." He lamented the changes of the times. Humanity has gone through 40,000 years, but the only thing to deal with rich people is a sickle. He still needs a hammer. When he has time, he can ask Astartes for a Thor. Hammer or something like that, but ordinary war groups probably won't lend it to them, so they just look for blood ducks. They have a lot of holy objects, but they have to keep an eye on the Poison Blade and Lemanus in the group.
With a way to break the situation, Alan Bayer's thoughts and joy began to rise. He took out his weapon and smashed the wall. One room, two rooms, is there a dead end? Break through! Don't like the room? Break through!
The house destroyed by the Destruction Stance didn't even have much smoke and dust. It was like the walls were removed by an invisible eraser, like a cheating device was turned on in the game, or there was a problem with the loading of the screen.
That feeling fascinated Alan Bayer, and soon he found the magnificent bedroom, filled with a dazzling array of antiques and jewelry. Culture and gems may be the only two things of value to humans in this dark universe. Something.
Special gems can generate electricity and serve as weapon cores, while cultural products are one of the few pastimes in this universe.
Alan Bair grabbed a piece of beautiful brocade silk and admired it. "It's tasteful and belongs to me. It will definitely be beautiful when placed on the bridge of the Bordeaux."
Then he started rummaging through boxes and cabinets to find any traces of this nobleman's misdeeds.
He soon discovered something was wrong. A roll of kraft paper did not look like an ancient thing, but it was placed among antiques. He opened the file and soon saw the bytes that surprised him.
[Dear Emperor, Emperor Huron, good day, please allow me to continue to serve you. I am grateful for the wealth and honor you have brought to me. ] Emperor!
