Chapter 352 Ah, are we going to fight?
Late night.
Troop transport ship, in the living room of the veteran.
The living room of this six-person room was rusty and filled with the stench of sweat.
The veterans snored loudly, and occasionally there was a long fart sound. It was obvious that their sleep was not bad.
For these veterans, such a residence is already an extremely high-quality and safe sleeping environment.
At least they don’t have to sleep in a place filled with roaring artillery fire, roars of aliens, and murmurs of chaos. They also have to worry all the time whether they will be killed in their sleep.
Experienced veterans will seize the opportunity to rest as much as possible on the way to the battlefield.
Because after the troops arrive on the battlefield, they have very few opportunities to rest. This may be their last chance to sleep well.
However.
Someone in the living room couldn't fall asleep.
Delainen stared at the rotten and creaking iron plate of the upper bunk with his eyes open, a little worried that this thing would not be able to support the strong man on it.
At this time in the past, he could fall asleep.
But ever since I learned that I was about to go to an apocalyptic battlefield, I started to suffer from insomnia.
It was not out of fear, but a pity that his wish to live to be eighty years old and be on the longevity list of the Consequent Guards could not be realized.
"If the regiment commander is also here, I should be able to live longer. Unfortunately, we are the only ones who are unlucky enough to be caught by the conscripts..."
The stormtrooper tossed and turned and gritted his teeth: "If I can live, Come back and make that bastard* who recruited me have eyes open!"
Follow the normal procedures of the empire.
Soldiers like them who have just finished a battle and whose injuries have not yet been treated will not be sent to a new battlefield so quickly.
But who made himself unlucky enough to run into an apocalyptic war, and he happened to be found by a conscript.
Delanein just complained.
He knew that there was little hope of him returning, and he would most likely die for the Emperor.
I hope He can be merciful and let his soul return to the throne, instead of wandering to the chaotic void to suffer...
Delaining moved the robot hand again, but the machine soul still did not recover, and the joints Movements are stiff and there is some pain at the joint.
Such a problem is very likely to reduce your chances of survival on the battlefield.
But now I can’t find anyone to fix it.
The soldiers on the entire ship were crammed in haphazardly, with no logistics at all. Moreover, food was distributed only once today, so many people were already hungry.
"It would be nice to have something to eat..."
Delaining sighed.
He clearly felt that the logistics supplies of the Astra Militarum were becoming increasingly scarce.
The food would occasionally turn green or purple, mixed with some weird bones and minced meat, which was disgusting.
Veterans can feel the increasingly difficult plight of the Empire through the logistics supplies of the Astra Militarum.
He did not continue to think about it. These are not issues that a warrior should consider.
Delainen couldn't sleep anyway, so he simply got up and went to the chemical toilet to solve a personal problem.
However.
As soon as he came out of the smelly chemical toilet, something strange happened.
The cabin shook violently, causing him to slam into the wall. Others on the bed were also twisted, and many people fell directly from above.
"Your Majesty, what happened!"
"Damn it, are you on the battlefield yet?"
The veterans quickly got up, found their weapons and held them tightly Hold it in your hand, always ready for the next battle.
Delainen also found his own heat ray volley gun and quickly organized all his personal equipment.
“Our ship has stopped!”
He could detect that the ship showed no signs of sailing forward at all.
Suddenly.
The sharp alarm sounded, the warning lights flashed, and the cold red light flashed across the solemn face of each veteran from time to time.
Before everyone could react, the sound generator sounded, and the commander issued an order to the entire ship:
“All attention, all attention!
I am Commander Raul, following This is an urgent order. All soldiers should follow their commanders to the deck immediately. Repeat, all soldiers should follow their commanders and assemble on the deck immediately. Act immediately!
May the Emperor be with us!"
Boom— —
The thin iron door was kicked open.
The company commander shouted at the door: "All soldiers, grab your weapons and follow me to the deck, or else you will be court-martialed!"
As he said this, he kicked open another door. Door, repeated the same words.
It seems that the situation is indeed a bit urgent.
Delainen, like the other veterans in the room, followed the temporary commander without any hesitation.
Actually.
At least one-third of the soldiers on this ship are not fully organized and are all temporarily grouped together.
Fortunately, the Ministry of Military Affairs still worked hard to organize the soldiers and formed a basic command system, at least the soldiers would not be like headless flies.
At this moment.
The corridor of the ship gradually became crowded, and more and more soldiers followed the flow of people to the area nearest the landing deck.
Delanein tightened his grip on the gun and moved forward with the crowd.
He knew that he had to walk at least close to a kilometer before he could reach the landing deck.
In the tense atmosphere, the stormtrooper thought quietly.
Are we, the people like us, about to enter that terrible battlefield?
Suddenly.
Delainen saw a familiar figure, a scowl appeared on his face, and the mechanical arm grabbed his shoulders:
"Asshole, I finally caught you now, do you still recognize me, grandpa?" ! ”
He will never forget this face.
It was this guy who led the conscription force with live ammunition, and recruited himself and his brothers in the company from the hospital bed and boarded the ship.
“Who are you and what do you want to do?”
The former recruiting officer was a little flustered and at a loss, and obviously no longer remembered the storm trooper in front of him.
The mechanical arm gradually tightened, making his bones creak.
But he also thought of something, endured the pain and said with a grimace: "If you are here to take revenge on me, then you have found the wrong person, and I will follow orders.
Look at what I look like, I'm on this ship too, what else do you want..."
After the recruitment of the Ministry of Military Affairs ended, they and the recruiting troops were also stuffed into the ship.
Such abnormal behavior.
This former recruiter and now a recruit realized the seriousness of the matter. The horror of the upcoming war may be far beyond his imagination.
Deleinen squeezed hard and then let go, without any thoughts of revenge.
After all, the order is from the Ministry of Military Affairs.
These people have no better way to complete their tasks.
As for blaming the Ministry of Military Affairs?
The enemy of mankind is threatening to destroy the empire's territory. If we don't summon an army to resist, will we just watch those worlds perish?
The war between humans and Chaos, and the alien race of humans, is a life-and-death war. There is no room for compromise, and no one can stay out of it.
He has seen with his own eyes the suffering of the planet being destroyed under the trampling of human enemies, and he also hopes that his hometown will be invaded.
Can get support from the empire.
This is why veterans still fight.
They obey the orders of the Military Ministry, but they are loyal to the Emperor and fight for the entire Human Empire.
If you want to blame, blame those damn aliens and heretics!
Not to mention.
The guy in front of me, like myself, is about to embark on the apocalypse-level battlefield, and his death is approaching.
Delainen patted the opponent's shoulder hard:
"Asshole, you'd better take away even one enemy before you die. Don't waste this equipment!"
He didn't think this was the case. This guy can survive for more than ten minutes on the battlefield. He just hopes that the opponent will not waste his equipment.
Even the cheapest equipment of the Astra Militarum has the blood and tears of many Imperial citizens behind it. Those are the bloody tithes.
After saying that, he grabbed the gun and continued walking forward without looking back.
soon.
Delainen followed the team to the landing deck, which was already brightly lit and noisy.
The landing port.
There are small landing ships parked one after another. The signs on the ships are a bit unfamiliar. You can vaguely see the golden sun and the golden warriors with wings on their backs.
He can be sure.
These landing ships are not from this ship, nor from any regiment that I know.
Maybe it’s the local army?
The territory of the empire is so vast.
Even if a scholar who specializes in studying the composition of the imperial army spends his entire life, there is no way to be familiar with all the military heraldry.
After the landing ship was fully loaded, it immediately sailed away through the landing port, and the tail flame of the engine set off a strong wind.
"Get on the ship quickly!"
The officers held down their military caps and roared at the top of their lungs, asking their soldiers to get on the ship as soon as possible.
Delaining didn't have much time to think, so at the urging of his superior, he jogged all the way to the landing ship despite the strong wind.
After a while.
The landing ship took off and headed for the unknown area.
Like other veterans, he held a gun in his arms and huddled in the cabin, calmly facing the coming fate.
On the landing deck.
The boarding operations of the Astra Militarum are still proceeding in an orderly manner. The nearly one million soldiers on this troop transport ship have to go to unknown destinations in this way.
If a soldier with good eyesight looks up at the dome above, he can see a huge thing in the void above the troop carrier.
The shadow it formed completely covered several troop carriers below.
It can be seen.
It was a huge ship more than ten miles long. It looked a bit bloated. What was even more strange was that it did not have any ship-borne weapons.
At this moment.
What arrived above the Empire's small troop transport fleet was the super large troop transport ship from the Savior's territory.
The Ship Research Institute of the Erth Mechanicus has specially modified this type of special transport ship based on the needs provided by the Savior.
Its ship does not contain any space-occupying weapon systems, and the ship is covered with many space modules to obtain more loading space.
This is a ship without any attack power, a target in space.
The only advantages are its large space, fast speed and strong defense. The double void shields installed inside are enough to deal with most attacks.
The optimal number of people loaded on such a ship is 30 million, and 100 million people can be crammed into it under extreme conditions.
It’s almost like a space city.
Normally.
When the super large troop carrier sets sail, it will arrange fleet escort.
With its strong defense capabilities, the fleet will generally not have any major problems until it is destroyed.
In order to get the Astra Militarum to Baal as soon as possible.
The Savior sent more than twenty super-large troop transport ships to come to the rescue and pick up the soldiers on the small troop transport fleet in advance. The reason why the atmosphere is so tense.
This is because the Tyranids have attacked and destroyed several small troop transport fleets of the empire, and they must move people quickly to avoid possible fatal threats.
The boundless starry sky.
The densely packed landing ships were like swarms, flying into the landing port of the super large troop carrier...
——
Very large troop carrier.
Login lobby.
The landing ship cabin fell on the apron, and the ship cabin shook slightly.
Deleinen's body shook as the ship's hull shook, and he immediately regained his composure and grasped the weapon tightly.
He didn’t know what a terrifying battlefield awaited him next.
But the strange thing is that until now, he has not heard any roar of artillery fire, and can only occasionally hear some electronic sounds.
Soon.
The hatch opened and he and other veterans walked down.
In an instant.
Delainen breathed extremely fresh air, instead of turbid air filled with engine oil, dust and various stinking gases that had been circulated millions of times.
Then.
He was shocked by what he saw.
It was a huge square about two kilometers in size. In the center was a huge holy statue more than 20 meters high, plated with fine gold, and huge honor flags and military merit flags were hung around it.
Bright built-in light strips illuminate this new, tidy area as if it were daylight.
The sudden light made him squint his eyes.
Delevingne tried to read the words on the honor flag that was more than ten meters high. He saw certain words intermittently and read them softly:
"Savior, Storm Army..."
< br>The storm trooper reacted and arrived at the area ruled by the savior.
Although the newly returned savior and the Primarch of Hope are not as famous as the Regent and the Primarch of the Ultramarines, they are powerful in the empire.
But the story about that existence still swept the empire.
Many veterans have heard his legend.
The savior returns at the time of crisis for the human empire to save the world.
His achievements include:
Supporting the regent to rescue Macragge and expelling the abominable and powerful demon Cahaban.
During the Battle of the Moon, he joined forces with the Regent to expel the traitor Primarch Magnus.
The latest news is that he defeated a powerful demonic demigod and saved the Charaton region.
The return of the savior has brought more hope to the human empire.
He finally knew.
What the Krieg warriors said before was that the great being to follow turned out to be the savior.
Deleinen looked at another military merit flag, and the content on it made him a little stunned: "Commander of the Storm Army, Ya Rui, piloted a knight mecha to kill the Chaos Titan?"
He couldn't imagine it.
What kind of legendary warrior can control the knight mecha to defeat the terrifying and terrifying abomination machine as high as a mountain in legend?
"What are you doing standing there in a daze? Gather quickly!"
Just when Dredin wanted to continue watching, the officer pushed him from behind.
A new rally order has arrived.
He had no choice but to follow the veterans to the square to gather.
When the Astra Militarum assembled, a sacred hymn sounded, and a huge phantom of the Savior, dozens of meters high, appeared in the square.
The savior’s voice echoed in the square like thunder. His brief and powerful speech was full of respect for the soldiers, praising their bravery and loyalty.
Every word is as powerful as gold and stone, inspiring everyone present.
He promised to be with the soldiers.
The appearance and encouragement of the Emperor's son, the Primarch of Hope, was like the morning light penetrating the darkness, illuminating the hearts of the soldiers.
They witnessed a great legend with their own eyes, and the tension gradually dissipated, replaced by an unprecedented excitement and power.
“For the Emperor, for the Savior, for the glory of the Empire!”
The voices of the Astra Militarum soldiers were loud.
Delaining's depression was swept away, and he excitedly performed the Eagle Salute with everyone, praising the great savior.
Fight to the death!
What they don’t know is.
That is just a virtual projection video. There are too many related videos in the database of the State Education and Propaganda Department to deal with different occasions.
The Savior has too many things to face, and it is difficult to take care of a small troop carrier.
After the figure of the savior disappeared, the person in charge of the troop carrier came out to speak and told the soldiers present.
Due to combat needs.
All the soldiers here must be reorganized and incorporated into the new command system.
After.
Many drones similar to servo skulls flew down from the sky.
Actually.
Those are the servo skulls of the Savior Territory. Their internal structure is similar to the Empire's servo skulls, but the appearance is more beautiful and comfortable, and the manufacturing materials have also changed.
Some kind of light, ivory-like material was used. After all, the Savior’s territory couldn’t get so many skulls.
The servo skull scans the nameplate and face of each soldier and enters their identity.
Then give them new cards.
That is their new identity certificate, which has their number, name, and portrait. The chip built into the card contains their identity data, including information about the new unit they belong to.
These data were directly entered into the population database of the Savior's territory, which meant that these soldiers were issued ID cards and household registrations on the spot.
Unless they resolutely betray the Savior, they will become the population of the Savior’s territory.
There are many elite warriors among these Astra Militarum, especially the Cadian Strike Force, Catachan Jungle Fighters, Krieg Death Corps, etc.
The Savior does not want to miss these warriors, these quality warrior populations, especially those veterans.
It will further enhance the combat effectiveness of the Storm Army.
Actually.
The Ministry of Military Affairs forced these soldiers into the ship and transported them, not expecting that they would make it back alive.
There is no return procedure at all.
Not to mention.
The Savior Territory is desperate for people.
Whether it is the logistics system, engineering troops, mining department, machinery maintenance department, or various people's livelihood institutions in the territory, a large number of people are needed to maintain operations.
The number of personnel required for the logistics system alone is more than ten times the number of military personnel.
And it is still developing rapidly.
If you think about the logistics that can meet the Empire's support needs to achieve what the Savior hopes to achieve, the number of personnel required will be extremely terrifying.
Delainen also got his own identity card, according to the staff.
That's his ID.
Wait until the entry process is completed.
Under the guidance, he and other soldiers boarded the rail vehicle called the subway inside the ship and went to the camp residence where the troops were located to rest.
Sitting in the bright and clean subway, Delaining felt at a loss for the first time.
He was surprised by what just happened.
He had realized that he was on a ship, but everything in front of him was so familiar yet unfamiliar.
He is familiar with the Imperial Sky Eagle and sacred sculptures everywhere.
But the overall decoration and architectural style are different from the dark and bloody tone of the empire, making people feel comfortable and full of vitality.
That is the architectural and decorative style that the Savior has explored for a long time and finally determined.
The rail transportation called the subway is very fast.
Not long after Delaining sat down, he heard the reminder of his destination, and he quickly got up and got out of the car.
Many people, like him, also got out of the car.
But more soldiers are still in the subway, and their camp is still at the next destination.
Finally, Delainen arrived at the camp and found his living room.
Different from the accommodation provided by the Empire.
This room is so neat and bright, with full sets of green bedding on the beds for four people. The cool breeze proves that a temperature control system is installed here.
The ten rules of the army are posted on the wall, and everyone must abide by them.
One of them is.
As soon as you wake up, fold the bedding in accordance with the regulations.
There will be special military inspections.
On the table is a thin paper instruction manual, which carefully states the usage and precautions of various facilities in the room in Low Gothic.
“There is actually a shower room here?”
Delaining was a little surprised, but also a little happy.
He has not done any body cleaning for more than three months.
Unless he is on some planet with good conditions, or a colony with an undamaged environment and rivers, he will have the opportunity to take a good bath.
The stormtrooper unloaded his gear and went into the bathroom to take a long shower.
I just feel a little distressed while washing.
Because the water that comes out of the shower outlet is high-purity water without any odor, it is of high grade even if it is used as drinking water on the ship.
Delainen was shocked by the richness of the resources in the Savior’s territory.
When he came out wrapped in a bath towel, he was surprised to see three other familiar figures.
He had seen these warriors in the prayer room before: the Cadian veteran, the fierce Catachan man, and the silent Krieg warrior.
It seems that they were incorporated into the same army and lived together by coincidence.
This situation puzzled everyone.
Their fighting styles are somewhat different, and it is impossible for them to enter the same formation under normal circumstances.
But everyone also vaguely guessed.
Perhaps because they were veterans of hundreds of battles, they were individually transferred out to form some kind of new attack force.
The Ministry of Military Affairs would occasionally do this kind of thing when the war was intense. Commanders would organize mixed veteran death squads to complete a difficult mission.
After.
The Servo Skull has sent new information.
These battle veterans were told.
They will have the honor of becoming the Savior's new force, fighting with personal combat suits called Power Armor.
Actually.
The new equipment in the state of field experiment is called the universal mortal combat armor...
