Chapter 366 The Empire in Danger
Rangdan, this ancient and terrible race has also awakened. Even though the days when the empire was attacked from all sides are not short, in the last hundred years of the end of the forty thousand years, the orcs, the Eldar, the traitors, the gods of the High Heavens, and the ancient aliens like Rangdan, and even the sins accumulated by the ancient iron men or humans in the long history.
The apocalypse is imminent. The restlessness of the psykers, the appearance of the demons, the revival of the ancient aliens, everything represents that the empire is burned by the flames of war. This is the case with Pangia, and other star regions are not the same?
The wind and rain are misty. Even the last bottom line of the Inquisition that protects human reason and will is torn apart at the end of the fortieth millennium. The Inquisitor is also the most powerful son of the empire. Now he has turned into alien flesh and blood and false things. This era is dark.
When the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guard, Alanbair, walked out of the ancient instrument of the Mechanicus, the buzzing giant once again confirmed his purity. The so-called turbidity of the naked eye, but the crystal can see clearly. After the biological sage who was not human under the red robe nodded with the last trace of humanity, the naked Alanbair was allowed to put on the military uniform.
He drank the transparent liquid, which could help him relieve the radiation emitted by the instrument. Then the Catachan sergeant came as his personal guard. He was apologetic that such a sinister thing happened under his nose, and secondly, whether the victory core of the Imperial Guard would be in trouble again.
He said. "The Emperor bless, at this moment, many evils are reviving, sir, in this century, the changes in the entire galaxy are more than the previous thousands of years..." His tone was quite worried, and Alanbair just adjusted his collar.
"That's why the Emperor will bless us. Now is the time of life and death for mankind. How can this empire survive this century and the more sufferings that will follow in the midst of wind and rain..." Alanbair's words were rarely tired. As a young man with endless energy, he also felt tired in the constant struggle for survival.
He said again. "How will the Inquisition deal with the next people?"
The sergeant replied. "The scans are valuable. If there are none, I think they will be killed directly. Whether it is the existence of aliens like Dan or the fact that they are suspected of infection, those low-level monks are enough to sacrifice their vitality for this."
What he said was direct and realistic. Monks who knew about the existence of the Inquisition, men like wild snakes, could still survive, but most people did not know the actual existence of the Inquisition. Even if there was little hope of escaping, they could not do it. Under the hands of the Inquisition, whether it was the lower level of the hive or other worlds, as long as you knew the secret, you would definitely die.
But the loss of those lives was worthless to the empire. Alanbair did not quite understand. Was it really useful to massacre those poor people? But this is the foundation of this ancient empire for thousands of years, and he is powerless to change it. At least at this moment, the Inquisition will not interfere with his transportation of the volcanic cannon.
When Alan Baier walked out of the room, his brothers came to see him one after another, and he accused them one by one, saying that they neglected their duties, but he did not actually punish anyone, but only accepted their gifts and the few kindnesses that remained on their bodies.
But there were also special visitors among those people. After Alan Baier thought he had said goodbye to the last officer he knew, a strangely dressed Imperial Guard soldier came over and spoke in a familiar tone. "An outsider like me shouldn't come so early, but the Inquisition is in a very awkward situation and can't come in. Sorry, I've disguised myself."
"Mr. Wild Snake, long time no see, but why do you have to come so grandly? The Inquisition, Space Marines, and planetary lords from all over the world can wait until I open the base to the outside world in three days if they want to visit me." Alan Baier was not angry. Although even Space Marines would be taught a lesson if they entered the Imperial Guard base without permission, Wild Snake was a real comrade of the Imperial Guard, so he could come and go freely.
Wild Snake said at this moment. "Because I have good news, two things. First, I'm going to be an Inquisitor!" He was ridiculous and excited, but it was also what everyone expected. It was just that it was obviously difficult for an acolyte like him who made mistakes to hold the rose knot in his hand. Secondly, the number of Inquisitors in the Inquisition has always been limited...
Alan Baier said. "It's the unlucky guy who was swallowed by Dan, right?"
"Yes, but it's also sad. The deaths of the two judges in this sector are actually related to you. This makes me afraid that I will be bitten back by you." Yeshe said jokingly, but Alanbair is indeed a natural enemy of the position of judge. As one of the greatest people in the empire, it is rare for him to die twice because of one person in just a few years.
But Alanbair didn't grasp the core of the joke. His sense of humor has been wiped out by his long military career. He said. "I don't want anyone to die, but their stupid behavior made them die." So far, this sentence made the air fall into silence.
Yeshe had to tell the second good news to ease the atmosphere. This news was not a secret to be precise. It was just a small episode he found when investigating the progress of the Black Heart King's fleet. But for such an imperial guard, it means that the empire has not given up their current situation.
He said. "The wolves are coming, the warriors running across the wilds of Fenririon are coming, they are coming with the scent of the blood of their own betrayed brethren, and the traces of the beasts that were once sealed away."
"Let Dan and the Blackheart King let the hunting wolves follow those tracks. The hungry sons of Lemanus are looking forward to a feast. If nothing unexpected happens, this group of greedy beasts should be the Red Moon Company, a hunting group led by Wolf Lord Gunnar Red Moon."
Alanbear was surprised and happy, but also a little angry. He was happy because the visitors were the famous Space Wolves, and he was surprised because this incident came suddenly. He was more angry because when the enemy army pressed forward, there was only one Space Wolves Company.
Although a company of such a founding legion is definitely far more than the entire regiment of many warbands, Alanbear couldn't help feeling a sense of decline and helplessness.
"Space Wolves..." He whispered the name of the Angel of Death from Fenrir, and said again. "If I remember correctly, they don't distinguish by company, but use the Ring of Fate in the Hall of the Great Wolf and the ancient runes of Fenririon to record the names of those warriors."
"And the name of the Great Company is related to the name of the giant beast inherited by its wolf master, and... Gunnar Red Moon should be a skeleton monster that occupies the seven layers of hell in the mythology of Fenris. It devours a large number of worthless corpses to help the circulation of yin and yang, so it is huge, hungry, and never satisfied."
"It sounds like a giant bear, with a skeleton as its body. From a distance, it looks like an inorganic object carved out of rock. I don't know what the wolf master who inherited this giant beast is like."
The wild snake nodded and praised. "Very knowledgeable."
Alan Baier replied. "During my time with the Tau Alliance, I also read a lot of their records about the Human Empire. At the same time, Miss Nova, as an inquisitor, would talk to me in her spare time. Captain Bordello is also a veteran who has traveled through many Imperial star regions and is proficient in Imperial folklore. This social circle has ensured that I will not be timid in this regard."
"But I still don't know what the current Great Company of Space Marine Space Wolves looks like."
Wild Snake replied. "They like to use fire suppression and saturation strikes to clear the enemy array, and then rely on the powerful melee ability of the fighting brothers to clear the battlefield, achieving significant lethality in a short period of time, just like in the myth, swallowing the enemy's body in big mouthfuls."
"And their wolf lord is a narcissistic, arrogant, bard-like person, free and unrestrained, and at the same time full of emotions. Of course, his attitude towards mortals is not good, just like the Imperial Guard is always a background board in the eyes of most Space Marines."
"But even so, the attitude of the founding legion towards mortals is already a pretty good part of the Space Marines, just ignoring, far from contempt."
Alan Baier shook his head. "So I hate fighting with Space Marines. Even if those Angels of Death are reliable and powerful, such comrades not only do what they want, but also have difficulty obeying strategic deployment. It's okay to meet capable ones, and the worst case is to cooperate with them to attack, but this time we need to face the Blackheart King, not every greenskin leader or Eldar Archon."
He is pessimistic about this matter. The Space Marines' self-willedness is too bad for the upper officers, so the Imperial Guard and the Space Marines rarely cooperate when both sides have considerable strength. In most cases of joint fighting, the Imperial Guard suffered heavy losses, and the Space Marines fell as the sharp blade of the Empire.
Snake said. "But this matter is already a done deal. In other words, even if the Blackheart King comes, it will only be a large company. It can also illustrate the cruel situation of the empire at present. As far as I know, this galaxy is burning."
"As you know, Lord, the Damocles Gulf is being invaded by the Tyranids. The Zerg Fleet arrived as expected, tearing up the huge star field. If it is a little further away, the Bone Crusher on Armageddon has made a comeback, setting off a huge green tide."
"Cadia has begun to resist the invasion again, the Blackstone Fortress has been attacked, and even the most marginal Krolos Expansion has discovered countless distorted new worlds, which are polluted or ruled by strange aliens."
"Let's not talk about these few hazes that are enough to destroy the empire. In terms of small disasters, the frequent demon incidents and many inexplicable green skin crazes in various places, the appearance of the old one-eyed man proves that both heretics and aliens have gone crazy in the last hundred years of the end of the forty thousand years."
Wild Snake smiled bitterly with a bit of helplessness. "Even the most powerful prophet sees the future of the empire as dark. To be precise, it is like an endless darkness tearing apart the entire Milky Way. How big is the Milky Way? Millions of light years? Tens of millions?" He said uncertainly.
"I can't imagine anything that can tear apart the entire Milky Way, so most people think that the prophecy is wrong, but the madness of this period has made me no longer sure. Commander-in-Chief, Lord, I wanted to retire and spend a peaceful life, but I can't deceive myself."
"Look, I'm over a hundred years old. The limit for mortals is only 500 years. If I'm very lucky, it's only 400. I don't have much left, but I still use the best resurrection standards to require it. I say it's to pretend to be someone else, but I know that my heart is still not dry."
"Now I have become an inquisitor. According to the rules of the Inquisition, I will probably leave this star region, so this time I am also saying goodbye to you as an old friend. In this dark universe, I can't be sure when we will meet next time, and I can't be sure if I can survive. Maybe next time, I will become Randan."
"But I believe you will not die. In any case, even if you are facing suffering beyond the limits of mortal imagination, the Maelstrom is also bearing the suffering in the last hundred years of the millennium, and the people who hinder it are not space warriors, saints or The Knight Family, and even the Mechanical Sages.”
"I believe in you so far and go all out because you are a mortal and so am I. Everyone here has formed this huge group and formed the wall. In order to make this star sector continue, I am not sure, but no one is better than us. I love Pangia even more because I am also a Pangia and so are you.”
"I do not believe that the Emperor favors you, but that we can, that we have the power, to deal with this suffering in the last hundred years of this dark millennium, not in the hands of supermen and miracles, but in the powerless bodies of mortals, when When the volcano cannon landed and the fortress was ready, I thought a miracle would happen to everyone, but it was a pity that I couldn't see it. "
"I'm leaving, friend, lord, commander, the person who helped me avenge, and one of the countless heroes who saved the empire, Alan Bair, sir." The wild snake bowed long, and his journey was real this time. That's it. The commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guard also gave him a military salute and then said.
"I have been prepared and planned for a long time. The Emperor chose me. This is not stupid. As a human being, I have the awareness of the destiny given to me by those responsibilities. When Pangia becomes the indestructible shield of the Empire, when the Imperial Guard becomes the Emperor's The emperor’s favorite warhammer, I will also become famous.”
"Also, first the Destruction Eagle, then the Space Wolves, what's next? Sharks, vultures? Cows?" He changed the subject, as if repaying a joke he had ruined.
"This is an army, not a zoo! I don't need undisciplined beasts. I only want real soldiers. Even the emperor's angels have to be kept under control when they come to my place!"
The wild snake suddenly laughed. "What a big talk, and I'm still just a snake, so your place is already a zoo!"
Alan Bayer also laughed. The two men who were once wary of each other have now become friends. They have gained friendship in the blood and war, and laughed in the gold and cold, just like human beings are insignificant and burning in this void. The current situation of burning...
