Chapter 1883 Visitors from Medlengard

What came to Badab Prime was a Hellfire-class heavy cruiser. It was an ancient battleship used by the Empire during the Great Crusade. The battleship was characterized by its solid structure and It is known for its powerful firepower, but the long range and high power of the light spear array are largely achieved at the expense of the shield generator. Therefore, the ship's shield is much weaker than that of warships of the same class. Another design factor The problem is that the cabins on the ship, except for the engines and plasma reactors, are basically occupied by the huge armory that provides ammunition for long guns and short cannons. This means that the crew on the ship only have a very narrow space to move and cannot carry them. With a lot of supplies, it is difficult to carry out long-distance patrol missions without the support of transport boats and frigates.

Therefore, after the end of the Great Rebellion, the navy, which was focused on maintaining the empire's vast territory, gradually gave up on this type of warship and basically decommissioned all of them. It can only be seen among those Chaos rebels.

The hull of this Hellfire-class heavy cruiser is engraved with a huge metal skull logo, representing that it comes from the Fourth Legion, and a line of text next to it highlights its notoriety——
< br>Eradicate the number.

Tes Dassadra stood on the bridge. He was wearing enlarged and thickened armor. His left shoulder was painted with the yellow and black warning stripes common in the legion. His helmet was held in his hand, revealing a face that seemed to be cut from granite. , with sharp edges and corners, looking down at the pirate world intently.

Old Badab is not a very big planet, but the ancient spaceport frame and the surrounding orbital platform make it look very big. After years of weathering, some building structures are painted dirty red. Others were engraved with dark symbols of summoning rituals. Fleets of red pirates and various warbands were anchored nearby. In addition to various types of warships, there were also a large number of transport aircraft used to transport labor and slaves. Many lost and captured imperial transport ships and large ships have also been repurposed by the Red Pirates for evil purposes. The engineering ships of the Dark Mechanicus are constantly shuttled, happily performing demonic rituals and blasphemous transformations.

If you look carefully, you will find that the planet has no oceans and its atmosphere is very thin. The land is divided into several pieces, and in between are huge magma rifts that can be seen clearly from space.

At the end of the siege of Badab, Huron activated the planet's destruction device. The natural climate of old Badab was completely destroyed, the earth's core exploded, the crust cracked, and the continent fell into a continuous state of instability.

After his return, although he spent a lot of effort to repair it, the condition of the old Badab was irreversible. Only the originally restless core of the earth calmed down, but the surface of the planet was left with nothing but endless of desolation, heat and division.

Through the observation window, Tes Dassadra saw a high bulge in the largest part of the barren and broken continent, like an independent, bloated and fat hive.

That was the reconstructed Palace of Thorns, the center of Huron's rule over Badab in the past.

Except for the Palace of Thorns, the most conspicuous thing about the planet is the nine huge silver towers outside the Palace of Thorns. He guessed that it should be some kind of subspace energy hub.

At this time, a voice sounded, coming from the bridge communications office.

“Master, the other party requires identification.”

"Open the communication channel."

Different voices came into the bridge through the speakers. The communication officer exchanged information with the other party. When the negotiation was completed, a berth was opened at the orbital station.

"Welcome, Lord Tes Dassadra of the Iron Warriors."

A voice sounded, like the scream of steel sweeping across the rock.

"Lord Hongsuo is aware of your arrival and asked me to do it for you——"

"No need for etiquette, I can just go see him directly."

"Uh, but."

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, Mr. Hongsuo Said to meet all your requirements, no problem." Soon, the ship was parked in the port, and the Iron Warrior took a transport plane and a weathered Storm Bird to the ground.

With trembling and roaring, Storm Bird spiraled into the thin atmosphere, flying all the way towards the giant building at the pole of the planet. Soon he saw clearly the appearance of the reconstructed Palace of Thorns - it was a nightmarish building. Occupied on a small continent, it is half palace and half fortress. Among the clock towers, spiers and rusty spiers of the warp that soar into the sky, Dassadra also saw the void shield generator and the ground orbit. Laser turret.

All barracks, squares, and armories are equipped with heavy weapon protection, and the thick walls are also covered with various large turrets and demonic engines from the Dark Mechanicus.

Following the guidance, the pilot controlled the aircraft, passing through the transport fleet that carried cultists to pray and mutant coolies to the factory, bypassing the scaffolding of the dark altar being built, and moving between various flight guidance instruments. , descending in a thick cloud of heavy metal smoke, came to the factory area and the airport that transported religious workers to them.

There is a landing platform exclusively for VIPs. The walls around the tower are surrounded by spiked guardrails as sharp as swords. The platform itself is a five-dimensional circle surrounded by destruction marks and giant electronic candles. Before the Stormbird could land, ragged cultists rushed up from the stone steps. Behind them was a group of giant humanoid silhouettes with spikes and filthy red armor.

"Prepare for landing."

Hovering on the landing platform, the pilot slightly shifted the landing position, blowing away the cultists who came over, and then fell heavily, extinguishing the aircraft's engine.

“Let’s go.”

Dassadra walked through the cargo hold, with several armored followers following him. He pressed the switch that opened the unloading ramp and took off his helmet. , magnetically attaching it to his lower back.

When they walked down, they saw a team of red pirates.

The bolters they were equipped with were all ancient models. Some of their armors were fused with their twisted flesh, and red muscles and sparkling rune marks were exposed under the cracked armor.

One of them was not wearing a helmet, and his mutation was even more obvious. Half of his face belonged to a bald, bronze-skinned warrior, and the other half was occupied by a beast with fangs, yellow eyes, and one horn. The devil's half of the mouth seems to be always smiling narcissistically, while the other half of the mouth is silently curved downwards.

“Welcome.”

The ferocious-looking red pirate said in a low voice:

“Dassadra from the Fourth Legion, I am Habibo, Hong. Lord Suo's defense officer."

His voice almost came from two throats, one was playful and the other was gloomy and desperate.

"Yeah."

Dassadra just snorted and didn't say anything more. Habibo was not annoyed. After all, the other party was someone Huron specifically named to entertain well. He came to Ba during this time. Dabu has many warbands and Chaos Champions, but there are no more than ten who receive this treatment, which shows the relationship between them.

"Please come this way."

Following the other party to leave the landing platform, the Iron Warrior was escorted down the steps and entered the main building of the Palace of Thorns.
