Warhammer: I am the Hammer of the Empire.

Chapter 203 He Still Likes Bomb Ships So Much
There are new and interesting things on Pan Lan's star port, so that many imperial businessmen come together and leave happily. The essence of this matter is not too complicated. The acquisition of scrap iron, to be precise, is a large void spaceship.

Under the generosity of the Foundry Governor, the old rags can also be exchanged for the Imperial Throne Coin at half the purchase price. In addition, there are equivalent dried meat or starchy food, large-scale equipment in the foundry world, and even a small amount of imperial military industry. Level weapons and "big killers" like sentinel mechs.

And the dilapidated Pan Lan can provide such a rich reward that the merchants of the empire have to lament the solid foundation of the foundry world, but this is not normal at all.

After all, the world is full of steel, so there is absolutely no need to buy it, but if you can get money, don’t worry too much, the more you know, the faster you die, and the Sun Lord (Warmaster of the Astral Army, led by Gao The right to be appointed by the master, to listen to the call or not to listen to the announcement) can also help them destroy the registration order on the ship.

Because all interstellar spaceships are registered, it is stipulated that they belong to one or more star field fleets.

Only after a ship is registered can it truly have its own identity. The Fleet Administration must record and manage the shipping of registered ships in each star field.

Ships that are not in a sector are not allowed to sail within that sector unless authorized by the Fleet Administration.

This is purely an identification measure and any unidentified, unregistered vessel is considered an enemy and will be attacked and destroyed.

Generally speaking, it can only be destroyed by returning to Mars or the foundry world where she was born, but the empire is huge, and ships are destroyed in the void, and there are countless ships. With the words of the Sun Lord, there is no obstacle for the Mechanicum to buy ships.

As a result, a large number of commercial transport ships were moored on the starport. Those things were tattered and rusty. It was hard to imagine that those things could operate normally in the void. Some of their machine souls were even occupied by Pan Lan and humans. The time is still long.

They have rich experience and a long history, but it is not important now, because they have a new mission, which is to seriously injure the enemies of the empire. The mechanical priests all praise those machine souls from the bottom of their hearts, and soon they will accomplish truly great achievements.

However, considering that the mechanical spirit can't speak out, otherwise Alan Bayer can feel that those ancient battleships must have scolded when the priests of the mechanical religion filled their ancient engine pistons with a large amount of explosives and excessive fuel. .

The mechanical engines that obscured the sky were abandoned by their loyal masters for hundreds of thousands of years for a few throne coins, and the crew living on them were reluctantly driven into new ships. , and even once had them live in the boiler room for the family name, he lived in the engine area for the honor, etc.

But they also understand that it is very rare for an old ship to be replaced with a new one, not to mention that a star region pays for them. Normally, merchants would find it troublesome to deal with large ships, but now there is someone to help them.

Numerous old battleships were stuffed with explosives, and the mechanical priests were constantly busy. As for who prepared these big treasures, the answer was already ready.

The Sun Lord, Alan Bayer took off his thick golden armor. This set of powerful armor specially provided by the Ministry of Military Affairs is a sacred relic-level armor that is the treasure of the Sun Lords in the past. It can defend against most of the enemy's attacks, but Alan Bayer was not used to the clothes and was ugly.

But the battle armor once worn by a great man like Macharius is still one of the rarest things he has ever touched, but this set of golden gadgets really does not conform to Alan Baier's aesthetics, and his After that, you may not be able to fire a black gun.

The black gun is the most important.

Thinking so, the Foundry Governor next to him said. "I didn't expect it to be the Sun Lord, the Warmaster of the Astral Army..."

Alan Baier replied. "Don't mention that name is unlucky."

That's right, the name of the Sun Lord is actually the Imperial Guard. No, the Warmaster of the Astral Army, that is, the highest commander of the Astral Army, also has the command right of all mortals in the empire, but today's empire is facing enemies everywhere. There are no more than a thousand warships, and Alan Bayer completed this before becoming the Sun Lord.

Although there will definitely be warships returning in the future, he will not need such a large army at that time. Restrictions on soldiers who can operate within their own sector.

If there is an alliance of imperial forces in more than one star sector, it represents a rebellion, so many times the Astra Militarum appears to be weak in the face of a huge heretical alien invasion.

There can be no cooperation between star areas and star areas, but space warriors can. That is to say, before the special approval of the sun lord or the high lord, the imperial guard cannot gather forces beyond one star area, as long as the invasion scale reaches one star area. If the boundary line of the area's defense power is destroyed, then the empire's star area will be wiped out as if it were instantly extinguished.

The Sun Lords represent that they can command several star regions and are legal and reasonable. This is also the only patch that the High Lords Council can face against the Black Heart King. Even if they are dull and stupid in the eyes of most people, they should never be forgotten.

They are the elite of the imperial elite, 12 out of billions, the most selfish, ruthless, lawless things.

They're not idiots, what does the Empire need?Now that this star area gave them time and proved themselves, you know, Alan Bayer has been here for two full years, so that Terra can handle this matter as quickly as possible, even if the subspace storm causes information confusion , but the Rogue Trader still went out.

This aspect is that the Black Heart King can't steal the chicken, and loses a lot of money, otherwise the cohesion of the Imperial Guard will definitely not be as high as it is now.

And Alan Baier answered the governor. "I didn't expect those high lords to be so straightforward, and power is also something that is difficult to hand over."

the governor replied. "It's not a question of strength, but of survival. An empire is like a living creature. If he becomes ill due to heresy and aliens, his immune cells will run wildly, no matter whether it's good or bad."

Alan Baier nodded. "That's right, the daily supplies consumed by this huge army spanning three star regions are enough to drain a whole world. Even if the entire empire is transporting blood here, the chance we can wait for is still not long."

The Governor tried to speak, but before his grille blew, there was the clatter of military boots, and the next thing they turned their heads, Caphaskaine, the hero of the Empire was striding forward, his determination and his eyes glowing, Live like a statue.

But he was thinking in his heart, to test whether the battleship here can escape intact, but what is the situation here?
Kane was a little distracted, he just wanted to see dozens of Imperial Assault Ships with sub-light speeds on board, and make sure they were good enough that he would be able to run when his ships were being ganged up or bombed by Blackheart. quick.

"Fire attack ship?" The hero of the empire raised his head and said, with a bright smile, stroking the old ship, and pronounced the name of this tactic.

(A fire attack ship is an old ship loaded with large quantities of incendiary and explosives, which is often channeled into the center of an enemy fleet and self-destructs. The resulting explosion can wreak havoc on ships around it. )
(The first use of fireships in the Gothic Wars was during the Defense of Delos, when Commodore Kurtz used two fireships to cripple the Unforgiven, a fearsome Chaos Destruction class cruiser)

"That's right, it's her, Chief of Staff Kane." Alan Baier replied.

Kane just rubbed the tip of his nose. "I used to feel that I was slightly proficient in tactics (escape), but the will of Lord Sun Lord made me not quite clear."

But he was once again amazed at Alan Byer's youth. Although he often showed different maturity, it was still too outrageous to become the Sun Lord. The last such glorious person, Macharius, has been recorded in the annals of history forever. After all, he took back tens of thousands of imperial worlds for the empire.

Alan Bair said. "I have information that traitors are ambushing us in the warp."

"The tactics often used by heretics, they will not open the Geller position, and, I heard that you have witnessed the subspace with the naked eye?" Kane was tit-for-tat, but he was indeed a little curious about this aspect.

"Nonsense, what subspace!" Alan Bayer retorted firmly, and Kane also knew what subspace was, and he had dealt with demons before.

"Oh, by the way, who is driving this fire attack ship, the machine soul will not hit the enemy." Kane saw that the situation was not going well, so he could only change the subject, he didn't want to talk about the power of the Supreme Heaven in such a place, At least the people here might be some apprentice judge from the Inquisition or something.

"Titanium's worker bees, that kind of electronic soul can be artificially designed, we just need to wait a moment, and the titanium side will provide the warships here with a soul that treats death as home." Alan Baier replied.

"Bold idea." Kane was a little frightened, at least he shouldn't have said it so openly.

"Don't be afraid, the Sun Lord has great power, not to mention that I was originally against the high lords, I can easily imagine what I will go through when I have no value." Alan Baier saw it clearly, but he had nothing that was high lords. Those who are gifted by the lord are also barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes.

Kane was a little scared. He was not afraid of being involved in revenge, but he was afraid that the empire would really do that, but he couldn't refute it.

"I...I'm going to get some Tanner tea." He stuttered, and even revealed his "true heart" for a moment, but Alan Baier just nodded, and allowed the hero to go to a place where no one was crying like a child .

After the clacking of military boots left, the mechanical governor began to give the last blessing to those fire attack ships, bathed in incense, and sang in scriptures, they marched like martyrs, even though they were old, there was fire inside (physical fire) .

And in order to ensure lethality, the interior of the fire attack ship is also added with additional materials, such as nuclear bombs, hydrogen bombs, and even antimatter and subspace bombs paid from the Eldar.

The subspace bomb is also effective in the subspace. The bomb will become like space travel, tearing the battleship in half in an instant, like a knife cutting it, especially the kind of bomb that does not activate the defensive cover when it is activated. Reach destruction on an asteroid scale.

The only disadvantage is that there are too few of them, and they can only be carefully installed on the battleships that are most likely to encounter the enemy.

At this moment, Alan Bayer looked at the battleship in front of him again. Yes, this is a trap. Don't even think about it, but in many cases, traps can also become opportunities. In the face of human subjective initiative, any conspiracy will appear unreasonable.

He's dealt with a lot of assholes before, and it won't change, and he has more power now.

He picked up the noble hand-ground coffee. He didn't expect that there were still crops like cocoa beans in this era. Although it was definitely different from Terra's era, the caffeine still existed.

Sugar, milk, carefully stirred, rich and addictive, just like victory.

He was looking forward to the faces of the traitors when they saw these babies, but unfortunately he could not enter the warp, nor could he drive them. What happened next was unknown, but this time the destruction of Huron must be the last chance.

He didn't think that brainless rogue trader would continue to be reused. Clearly distinguishing rewards and punishments was the secret of the Black Heart King. What was stronger than Abaddon was that he was a genius in employing people, not a warrior.

Facing this clever, cunning, and difficult opponent, sometimes he has to admit that the orcs' troubles are more often due to their closeness to the Skadi, but the Black Heart King is more of a king, unattainable Feel.

However, it is still difficult for Alan Bayer to distinguish between high and low among his enemies. There is no easy guy to deal with. In this dark place full of ghosts and snakes, no matter if it is a demon host like a beast, a crazy green skin, or a parasitic Genestealers of the Tau race, they are all things that can wipe out several worlds.

No... The Star Militia Army is also one of them. This universe is like this. There are no good people and no good deeds, only survival, killing, and moisture.

After the prayer was over, hundreds of old commercial ships flew into the sky, the Tau installed and operated AI on them, the subspace engine started, and the Mandeville point was torn apart, and a certain rogue left Pan Lan overnight, and was going to pass him and In exchange for the Black Heart King, the real subspace shortcut to return to his master, because his mission has been completed.

Fate clicks and turns, Imperial Guards, Space Marines, Traitors, Black Heart, Greenskins, all stirred together, like a cup of bitter coffee forming a gothic symphony in this dark galaxy, like caffeine.

Bitter, hopeless, uncomfortable, exciting, addictive and toxic at the same time.

Warhammer is what it is, it's unhealthy, it's abnormal, it's wrong, it's obsessive, it's an amalgamation of all the worst qualities of humanity, and it makes every bit of goodness clear, milk is smooth with coffee, granulated sugar Strong taste due to bitterness.

The fire attack ship passed through the shield of the subspace and the real physical universe, emitting a purple halo, war, let's go to war, to the enemies of the empire.
