Chapter 242 Hell on Earth
A long time has passed since the Imperial Guard decided to defend the battle. Even when the Skadi recruits sent out half a month later came back with enough trucks and airdropped Chimeras, those war engines that sprayed thick smoke looked like Looks like an angel that brings victory.
In the command room, the Sun Lord and his core staff listened to the report. The losses in this operation were unexpectedly low, because of the recruits' combat awareness and their admiration and trust for the Skadi Fourth Infantry Regiment, coupled with the bad behavior. Due to the circumstances, not only did they not have the problem of defecting, they even became more solid and tenacious.
When the Sun Lord looked at the new recruits from the high-level command room, although there were many wounds on their cheeks, their spirits were much better. Even the strict Master Chief Catachan spoke up.
"They can barely be considered qualified."
What is even more exciting than this is that the beautiful female inquisitor of Valhalla also came here. After learning about the legendary stories here, out of anger towards her staff or wanting to collect the inquisition's There was a loophole in the question, and she fought against all odds to get to the heart of this cold hell.
However, this matter gave Alan Bair a bit of a headache. He did not want his soldiers to focus on private lives that were not important and did not exist at all. His current difficulties were only expedition and victory. In addition to the problem of the Pangia sub-planet, there were also The situation around the maelstrom, such as the location of the Black Heart King, may not change much if the careerist cannot be defeated.
Until his thoughts were interrupted by the mixed words of those soldiers. Indeed, it was time. The supplies were full, the troops were constantly flowing, and there were several earth-shaking cannons moved from Bordeaux, clearing the way out of here. Finally, it became not difficult for those giant monsters to enter.
However, this fortress has a very interesting design, with a composite structure and numerous defensive laser defense sequences on the outside. There are also quite thick walls and trenches on the outside. The church shooting inside can also provide enough faith support for the soldiers at all times.
In this strange universe, faith is the only treasure after ammunition and food, and this fortress also has the apothecary room and armory used by the Astartes, and can also serve as the new Ath of the Eagle Chapter of Destruction. Order of Tate.
Look at the apron at the top. It also has a certain anti-orbital airdrop capability. It can bring gunboats or fighter jets to this place.
To be honest, even before the Sun Lord conquered this area, he started thinking about how to "eat" this place. It can be said that he thought clearly about how to cook.
"Very well, Chief of Staff, mobilize the soldiers, all soldiers, second lieutenants and lieutenants. You two plan the invasion steps. Don't use seismic cannons. If the integrity of the castle is damaged, repair it."
"Letling boys and Catachan, find an external pipe or use a grappling hook to enter the inner room and open the door. I see that there are not many garrison troops on the wall. I think the internal conflicts have wiped them out. ”
"If the plan goes well." Alan Bair looked at the clock recording the standard Terra day. "We should be able to settle down today and deal with the traitors here. We can really go home!"
Home, this word has a different magic for the Skadi people, especially after such a tragic experience, any soil that can carry them becomes valuable. Only loss can make people realize that the metal that was previously disgusting If they lose the city, they will have nothing.
These words, these two words drove the entire huge team into action, but they soon realized that this would not be too difficult. There were not many Guardian Legions on the wall anymore, and the Space Marines had disappeared without a trace, only the skinny bones. Mortals holding clumsy weapons, treating bullet shells as medicine for daily swallowing, swallowing them wholeheartedly, and finally die from ridiculous things like foreign body blockage.
It was hallucinations and hunger that pushed them to act like this. During the two-month defensive war, the city finally exhausted the supplies they should have used for several years due to invasion and civil strife. However, Alan Bair was the only one who had a weird feeling. , is this also true for the empire?
The supplies in the Milky Way are definitely enough for them to explore the sea of stars and break through this place, but the reality is that the empire has not been developed for thousands of years. It has been trapped in this place in the Milky Way by civil strife, betrayal, huge troops and enemies, and then gradually went crazy, and then Cure that madness with all kinds of stuff.
The empire is maintaining war consumption all the time, and maybe it will become like this one day. Alan Bair does not believe in the wisdom of future generations, otherwise the empire will not be reduced to this, but he is just the sun lord. What to do?
The soldiers opened the door to the outer wall. Those guard towers that once hindered the Imperial Guard were no longer there. Those trucks, Chimeras, and other important vehicles continued to enter, and the brightest blond beauty among them was wearing a seductive dress. (Probably) Inquisitor Leather and Skeleton stepped off the transport.
The Sun Lord, who had just finished his war mobilization, was attracted by her, but he did not care about this woman, but was curious about the Trial Hall's opinion on this matter.
And the one who got out of the car also went straight to the topic. When the beautiful figure moved extremely fast, driving the golden wind in the sultry center of the earth, everyone would forget that this was actually a resolute and murderous imperial judge. Only the Sun Lord Maintain that respect at all times to avoid being attacked by psychic energy.
Alan Bair also admires her endurance towards the Lytlin boy. Although he will not reach the front of the battleship and his own abilities are not very strong, except for personal contact, she is quite terrifying to those who cannot be touched. Her endurance, then her psychic control should also be quite terrifying.
And she said calmly. "Lord Sun Lord, long time no see, the situation on the ground looks good."
Alan Beyer replied. "Thank you for your blessing, but the damage caused by the Inquisition to Skadi is shocking. This white world has now turned brown. The shells of the Black Mechanicus and the actions of the Grand Inquisitor... You know, I am Star The Supreme Commander of the Imperial Army, whether it’s Skadi’s strategic nature or the fact that it is my hometown, the Inquisition has offended me.”
Sweat dripped from Miss Nova's forehead. Even if she hijacked the giant ship of the business dynasty, she was not so nervous, or she was not necessarily afraid when facing the real devil.
"This, you, you..." She stuttered unexpectedly, not looking cute. Contrary to most people's feelings about girls, the inquisitor's loss of that coolness and ease made people even more irritated, but Ailan Bayer didn't want to hold on to this matter too much. Essentially, he needed the support of the Tribunal to maintain his idea of retiring.
He is still weak. The fewer enemies and more friends, the better. Even if he accepts this favor for this, it doesn't count the Inquisition's stupid and disgusting negligence. What he needs is not the metal-encased hive, but it is like this now. On the contrary, it is better.
"I hope the Tribunal can give me a good answer, and during this period, you can just work normally." The Sun Lord said and emphasized. "How is the investigation of the Grand Inquisitor, what...?"
Nova calmed down now and coughed. "Well, he is a very serious judge in the court records. He was born in..."
Alan Bayer interrupted suddenly. "Tell me something important, something related to the war. I don't want to dig up his ancestral home."
Nova answered. "About three years ago, he began to reduce his reporting to the Tribunal headquarters. The frequency of black ship traffic in the area has also dropped rapidly, and the number of psykers sent has also become rare."
Alan Beyer asked. "He's building an army of psykers?"
Nova shook her head. "It's unlikely. Psionics are double-edged swords. The Inquisitor knows even better that using untrained lunatics will only lead to self-inflicted consequences. According to the Inquisition's investigation, during this period he has been exposing psykers to the general public. Transport within the whirlpool ”
"Are you operating spells? Or maybe the Red Pirates have started tinkering with those things. They are really obsessed with it. But in the short term, the enemy has become more difficult to deal with." The Sun Lord couldn't figure out the enemy's motives, so he could only make a rough analysis. , and while they were chatting, the car kept moving forward. Skadi's Letlings and Catachan broke through the enemy's defenses. The thick inner court door and the filthy gold door marked with the Chaos Eight-Pointed Star were forced to open under the invasion. .
The Catachan sergeant pointed a bolt shotgun at a traitor officer. The officer had no weapons and had been disarmed. His face had wounds and scars. He looked like a veteran, but now the Imperial Sky Eagle on his chest had turned into Chaos. Eight-pointed star.
Catachan walked towards the Sun Lord and reported. "Sir, I have brought the external commander."
When the mortal saw the Sun Lord, this powerful guy who forced the Space Marines to the point of embarrassment, he immediately knelt on the ground, as if worshiping the gods he had seen. Alan Bair only felt sick, fearing that something had defiled him.
"What did you do with this boneless thing?" He endured it and asked his sergeant patiently.
The Master Chief simply said. "He said he could report on the current situation of the enemy. I think my dictation can bring the most direct intelligence."
"Then you did the right thing, go and rest, leave this guy to me." Alan Bayer rubbed his temples, as if he couldn't stand this madman.
Master Chief Catachan shook his head. "I am your security guard. I don't trust those stormtroopers. They are just outsiders from the Ministry of Military Affairs. At least, it is better to use Skadi grenadiers."
"I don't need so much protection. You know very well how many heretics I can kill by myself. Rather than using our own people and wasting our available forces on the battlefield, it is better to use outsiders."
"Secondly, they are all the wishes of the Ministry of Military Affairs. If they refuse, there will be a rift, and it will be useless to let them stay. The stormtroopers are also elites of the empire. They were born in Zhongsi Academy with the chief of staff, so they are not bad." Alanbai. I explained that Sergeant Catachan did not leave. He was helpless because of his low control over his own people. It was probably this kind of kindness that made those bastards fearless.
But now his attention must be on this madman. "What happened to the castle?"
The guy said tremblingly. "The Space Marines rebelled, and it was normal at first, but then the Mechanicus launched modified servitors, made by officers. The Grand Inquisitor couldn't stand this and turned to join forces with the Space Marines."
"A large number of mortal troops were led by the Inquisitor to help the Space Marine Hagrid break out. The entire castle was in chaos. The Mechanicus dispatched a large number of servitors and operated the complex internal structure of the castle to cut off supplies. The mortal troops and Space Marines broke through the defenses. , surround the net, and loot those things.”
"The walls were considered a safe zone, but good times were few and far between. Soon, food and hallucinogens were all gone. Hunger and the whispers of the Chaos Gods (withdrawal reactions) attacked us."
"Sun Lord, save me, save me! I am willing to return to the empire, give me medicine, give me some tonic!"
He moved forward like a mad dog, and had lost his judgment. Alan Bayer just asked. "Without food, why aren't you skinny?"
He suddenly didn't speak and stayed in place. Alan Bair just turned his head and looked at the Master Chief.
the Master Chief replied. "Most of the corpses we saw on the walls had cutting wounds, but they were not fatal. Generally speaking, they were fatal with firearms, and then the blade slowly cut, attacking the tongue, back, and cheeks intensively with even fat. place, followed by the meat at the thigh and arm joints.”
Alan Bair smiled. "It's quite experienced. I hope you can use it like this when you go to hell." He raised the weapon, and the gun spat out merciful projectiles towards the hopeless things. The blood moistened the ground and could not penetrate the metal earth. Leave a bright red stream on those things.
And Alan Bayer also knew that the Inquisitor did not have enough authority, power, and did not have the faith of the Imperial Pope. People like him could control the entire betrayed Imperial Guard, so they used drugs.
Use Space Marines to suppress the PDFs and Imperial Guards stationed by Skadi, and then give them medicine to stabilize their loyalty. Then use those troops to control cultists and mutants, and communicate with the Mechanicum to stabilize supplies and productivity.
If the Grand Inquisitor was born in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Alan Bayer thought jokingly, and felt that such a person should also have a hard time now. After all, the external troops are already so short of food and clothing, so the internal situation is a mess. The situation will only become more disgusting and terrifying.
"What do you think, Miss Nova." Miss Inquisitor was a little stunned by Alan Bair's sudden intimate call. She realized that many personal emotions were indifferent to the Sun Lord, and she responded with admiration in her heart.
"Well, the interior of the castle may have been divided into two factions. The Mechanicus should be the most powerful because they control supplies and do not need food. This castle should be powered by geothermal energy, followed by the Space Marines and finally the Traitor Guards." Nova Alan Bayer said calmly.
"No, the most powerful ones are the Space Marines, because no matter what, no matter what time, no matter what the situation, I know one thing."
"Those guys from the Mechanicus can't accomplish anything big."
He turned to the soldier. "Attention everyone, prepare to engage in melee combat with the Chaos Traitor Space Marines. Elite troops will be given priority, veterans will be given priority, and new recruits will clean the battlefield and provide assistance."
"Then, the attack on Lloyd's Castle begins! For the Emperor!" (End of this chapter)
