Warhammer: I am the Hammer of the Empire.

Chapter 210 Settling the Hive Capital
Finding cover is a magical sentence, at least within the Imperial Guard. As long as this sentence appears, people will frantically hide from things around them, but only the most experienced and seasoned soldiers can survive.

The bunker is not something that obstructs the body's vision, but a real treasure that can help you survive. In the last few decades of the No.40 millennium in this dark universe, this sentence appears more and more frequently on imperial soldiers Taller.

The shots of the cultists can penetrate the light Chimera armored vehicles, as can the deflagration beams of the Imperial Guards. After only a moment of fierce firefights, the well-trained fighters stood on the high ground, and the Leitlings fired one shot at a time in an orderly manner. Using energy clips, Catachan, Skadi, the ensemble of various weapons is reassuring.

Maybe people living in war can only fall asleep listening to such voices. Of course, the lead singers of such songs are still the screams and wails of traitors.

The deflagration beam at this distance is still powerful. The core selling point of the beam weapon is that it is far more stable than ordinary weapons, whether it is the gun itself or the projectile it shoots.

They exchanged fire at such a distance than those flintlocks, and they were assisted by Lemanus' rear roaring cannon. The few garrison troops here were torn apart almost instantly, but after the war, the Hive The gates of the city were destroyed, and the city was bombarded by imperial engines because it was used as a hideout for heretics.

In the ruins, the citizens of the empire are crying, children, adults, and the losses caused by the Imperial Guard are no different to those caused by the traitors, there is no essential difference.

The empire's troops are not for their existence, but for the survival of human beings. Essential problems have led to today's tragedy, not to mention that from the extreme character of the empire, those people are already heretics who bow to the cultists.

If there are really sins in this world, it is probably because they are too weak to protect their own lives. Although Alan Baier never likes social Darwin, in this dark universe, the strong will always survive.

It can even be said that if this is the fortress world of Valhalla, if it is the death world of Catachan, or even any other famous place, their fate will not be like this.

The evil of the empire is also born because of this. Tens of millions of New Years, billions of mortals, downplay personal gains and losses and tragedies to the point where they are almost forgotten.

"Go forward, keep going, occupy the planetary governor's mansion, the armored vehicles continue to move, Lemanus and Poison Blade move forward along the street, don't hesitate." Alan Baier yelled as if he wanted to forget the kindness , the war engines of the Empire marched on through the ruins and corpses, as they had done countless times.

The cold still exists, and the internal temperature of the hive is ten degrees below zero, but it is already considered warmer than the previous madness. The flickering promethium lamps and the frightened residents, the refined iron of the empire, in order to prevent surprise attacks, shoot the residential areas with guns.

What is right and what is wrong, the victory of the war is right, the streets are wet with blood, and those civilians, who could become PDFs in the empire, are now able to pick up weapons and kill people anytime, anywhere.

This is why the Astartes have a bad attitude towards civilians. To be precise, all Imperial troops have contempt for civilian life. They are protecting human beings, not individuals.

In this age of tragic dark universe, Space Marines have to be careful of maniacs restraining melta bombs, let alone Imperial Guard.

They were not the Astartes of the Salamanders Chapter, they did not have a Primarch father nor a will of iron, great discernment and a body or armor strong enough to withstand a shot.

"Continue suppressing fire, forward, alternate, stay alert."

The Imperial Guard is a neat war machine, moving forward with death and slaughter. They are not kind people. There are quite a few scum and mortals among them, and their levels are uneven. Although the only regiment of Skadi and Valhalla The 597th Regiment are all real professional soldiers, but they do not have the obligation and ability to protect civilians in unfamiliar alien planets.

When arriving at the destination, the imperial guards used the auspicious instrument to detect the presence of the enemy in advance. The city here is almost a road plowed by flames and gunpowder, leading directly to the place where the cultists are most closely protected. Alan Bayer used his binoculars to Looking at that castle, that beautiful manor-like place in the best, warm area of ​​the hive.

The planetary governor certainly doesn't live here, but he needs to work, and the fact that the place is strictly surrounded by cultists also confirms that the Imperial Guard came to the right place.

This hive city is far less grand and intricate than those like Neck Monroda. It even has only one floor, and at most one foundation. Compared with those cities that stretch continuously and are as large as continents, they are not at the same level. .

But this is strictly a political capital, where the elite of the empire used to gather here, but now, the imperial officials and planetary nobles who are still alive must be traitors, there is no doubt about it.

"Strict Imperial Guard style trenches, forts, sentry towers, sandbags, and staffing. Some people have surrendered. There is no doubt that at least two bases have three times the number of us, close to [-]." Julien, the experienced Imperial Guard can quickly analyze the size and scope of his former compatriots.

Surrounding the black Governor's Mansion, in the area that was deliberately set aside for construction, the standard Imperial Guard trenches, as well as individual weapons provided by the Mechanicus, a small number of servants and priests, and even a few parked Lemanus .

"It's a replica of the Imperial Guard." Boy Raitlin said.

"The Imperial Guard, those traitors," Sergeant Catachan replied.

Alan Baier said. "Interestingly, the enemies here are not even fully equipped with those Mechanic Teaching equipment. Obviously, they seem to be more well-trained. In other words, the foundation of this group of people is not pure, and the Black Mechanic Cult does not recognize them."

"And those disheveled cultists who blocked the door for us have a lot of Mechanicum weapons."

The Chief of Staff realized that there was something odd about this. "That is to say, the forge world is using weapons distribution to interfere with the outside of other planets, and there is even a kind of..."

Alan Baier replied. "There is a feeling of the boss that these three worlds may have such a triangular relationship. They are the only three imperial worlds within thousands of light-years in this star field."

"The corruption started from the foundry world. In other words, traitors have existed for a long time. These three worlds may have contributed a lot when the red pirates invaded."

"The Mechanicus is prone to heresy. After the forge world was called to action, the armed forces united the three main worlds of this star field to block the loyalists who could retreat in the Pangea sub-sector."

Catachan gripped his carbine. "heresy…"

Kid Raitlin couldn't help showing a sad expression. To be honest, this incident was a bit too shocking, but judging from the abnormal situation in this world, the enemies of the empire had planned it for a long time.

Alan Bair just said. "We came to the wrong place. If we knew that we should attack the Forge World with all our strength, it would not be a problem to take other regions."

"Then what?" asked Raitlin Kid.

"If you make a mistake, make a mistake, start a war, start a war against the enemies of the empire, and calm down this world, then go to the Forge World to support the Partorian Guards!" Alan Bayer said without hesitation.

"Target that heretic school commander, Raitlin kid." He pointed to the officer who was commanding the smoke outside the bunker because of the pressure. This is a rare opportunity to confuse the defense force on the opposite side.

"Okay, boss." Even though the distance is very far and there are many obstacles, the officer is sure that no one can hit him without triggering the alarm, so he relaxes like this.

The name of the Raitlins is indeed popular in the empire, but everyone's concept of them is that stealing and cooking are better than sniping, but these three abilities, sniping is the core of this group of subhumans being accepted by the empire.

"The manticore array, aim at the Lemanus and the bunker in the area, allocate the location, the number of shots, and the ammunition situation, and strive for precise strikes to destroy the enemy's vital forces within two rounds." The Sun Lord is like a commander of an imperial armored regiment Use your own rights.

After those imperial missile vehicles were accurately aimed at the position, the imperial guard got a very high priority.

"Valhalla's 597th Regiment, Skadi's first and only regiment, ready to charge and win, under cover of fire, to kill the enemy."

Long-distance support is all arranged, and the Imperial Guard is ready to go.

Things have become easier at this moment, what kind of strict positional warfare, for the elite of the Imperial Guard, this is simply a trick.

"Fire!"

The deflagration beam smashed the officer's head, blood, death, despair, chaos, mainly chaos, the command point was in chaos, and the school level was basically the highest level on the planet, not to mention that they couldn't face large-scale invasions every day.

The level of the expeditionary force and the garrison legion is very different, equipment, consciousness, although they can definitely kill troops like PDF, but in the eyes of the elite of the Imperial Guard, it is still not enough.

In an instant, their order was disrupted, death, chaos, the flames of the missiles fell, and the anger of the emperor smashed the traitors' Lemanus bodies and bunkers. forward.

"Hurry up, for the empire!" The staff shouted with the roar of explosive bombs, and several Chimeras and Lemanus charged forward.

But in the chaos, some people still took up weapons, especially the damn traitors of the heavy equipment squad. The anti-armor missiles were enough to penetrate the armor of Lemanus, and the Chimera armored vehicle was even more urgent.

"The enemy is using heavy anti-armor equipment!" The chief of staff yelled, Alan Bayer picked up the weapon, bang bang, the filling and shooting hands fell instantly.

"Keep moving forward!" Projectiles and fragments are constantly sputtering. Thanks to Lemanus' resistance and cover, when the infantry clears the heavy anti-armor and the vehicle covers the infantry, the advanced infantry-tank coordination tactics allow the Skadi Moving forward without a doubt.

When the Emperor's Baneblade crashes into the enemy's defenses, the screams and the enemy's rout can no longer be undone.

"Die!" The power weapon was tit for tat, and the sun lord, Alan Bayer, cut open the traitor's body in an instant. After all, compared with the real essence, the mortal body is not worth mentioning, and for him, this matter is even more familiar.

But he didn't notice that a Heretic Lemanus, lingering in the artillery fire, poked its head out. The giant muzzle seemed to be able to fire, but there was only a problem with the tracks.

Its black muzzle was aimed at the Commander of the Imperial Guard, and unless the Emperor returned, no ordinary man could take the attack.

"Dodge!" The sergeant shouted at this moment, and he raised the melta, an ancient technology researched to cut through armor, spraying hot energy at this moment.

It was a mighty fiery lady, searing the buzzing battery of Imperial engines in an instant, and the traitor inside turned into a roast.

"Thank you, sergeant." Alan Baier said with lingering fear, after all, it's not a good feeling to be spotted by a tank's main gun.

The sergeant nodded, and the imperial guards completely occupied the outside of the trench, and continued to push inward with the power of armored vehicles, which was unstoppable.

And you can't count on the willpower or morale of those people, and soon they will collapse at a touch, run outside, and then be dealt with by Skadi soldiers one by one.

People who have no will and don't know why they are fighting are not reliable, and fate doesn't seem to favor such a fool.

The entire war took only a few minutes, extremely fast, almost unstoppable, and the emperor's anger was no more than that. When the imperial guard stepped into the command point, the high-level traitors inside had already killed themselves with their own bolt pistols, and their entire heads were crushed. Deep fried.

"It's cheap for them!" Kid Raitlin cursed.

"Hurry up and catch the governor, he is also the core of the traitor, we can use him to pull out information!" Alan Bayer realized, but at this moment the governor had loaded his floating vehicle board and fled forward, he needed the starport, this The world is still his, and his last right orders the numb civilians to work for him.

That potbellied, stupid imperial nobleman, maybe his ancestors were smart people who dedicated themselves to the empire, maybe he was a hero of the Imperial Guard, but now he is just a maggot.

The fat, fat, messy clothes and disgusting equipment, this gigantic maggot wriggled about to wipe out the efforts of the Imperial Guard.

"Can't let him run away!" Alan Bayer said so, but he was not sure, he couldn't shoot, his intelligence was more valuable than his life.

"Go to the star port, faster than him, block the streets, speed up!" Alan Baier is on the Chimera armored vehicle, which is the fastest engine of the Imperial Guard, but it is still hard to say that it can catch up with one in the intricate nest flying vehicle.

But he still stepped on the accelerator, and he had to do his best, otherwise all his efforts would be ineffective.

Even though he can take down that thing with one shot, the empire needs to clarify the situation, and this life and death race begins...
