Warhammer: I am the Hammer of the Empire.

Chapter 242 Hell on Earth
It has been a long time since the Imperial Guard decided to guard the battle, and even when the Skadi recruits sent out half a month later came back with enough trucks and air-dropped Chimeras, those war engines that spewed thick smoke looked like angels that could bring victory.

In the command room, the Sun Lord and his core staff listened to the report. The loss of this operation was unexpectedly low. Because of the combat awareness of the recruits, their admiration and trust for the Skadi Fourth Infantry Regiment, and the harsh environment, they not only did not have the problem of defection, but even became stronger and more tenacious.

When the Sun Lord looked at the recruits from the high-level command room, although there were many wounds on their cheeks, their spirits were much better. Even Sergeant Catachan, who was always strict, also spoke.

"Barely count them as qualified."

Compared with this, the more exciting thing is that the beautiful female judge of Valhalla also came here. After learning the legend here, out of anger towards her staff or wanting to collect loopholes in the problems of the trial court, she went against all opinions and came to the core of this cold hell.

However, this incident caused Alan Bayer a bit of a headache. He didn't want his soldiers to focus on their unimportant and non-existent private life. His current difficulties were only expeditions and victories. Apart from the problem of the Pangea subplanet, there was also the situation around the Maelstrom, such as the location of the Black Heart King. If he couldn't defeat the ambitious man, things might not change much.

Until his thoughts were interrupted by the mixed words of the soldiers, indeed, it was time, the supplies were full, the supply of soldiers was constant, and there were several ground-shaking cannons that had been moved from Bordello. After clearing the way out of this place, it was not difficult for those giant monsters to enter.

However, this fortress has a very interesting design, with a composite structure and countless defensive laser defense sequences on the outside, and there are quite thick walls and trenches on the outside, and the church shooting inside can also provide enough faith support for soldiers all the time.

In this strange universe, Faith is the next treasure after ammunition and food, and this fortress also has the apothecary and armory used by the Astartes, and can also serve as the new Adeptus Astartes of the Eagle Chapter.

Look at the high apron, it also has a certain anti-orbital airdrop capability, which can bring gunboats or fighter jets to this place.

To be honest, the Sun Lord started to think about how to "eat" this place before he conquered this area. It can be said that he thought clearly about how to cook.

"Very good, chief of staff, mobilize the soldiers, all soldiers, second lieutenant and lieutenant, you two plan the invasion steps, don't use ground shock guns, if you persecute the integrity of the castle, you have to repair it."

"Boy Ratlin and Catachans, find an external pipe or use a grapple to go in and open the internal room, and let the door open. I don't see many garrison troops on the wall. I think internal conflicts have eaten them up."

"If the plan goes well." Alan Bayer looked at the clock that recorded the standard Terra Day. "We should be able to settle down today, deal with the traitors here, and we will truly go home!"

Going home, this word has a different magical power for the Skadi people, especially after experiencing such a tragic experience, any soil that can carry them becomes precious, and only by losing can people wake up. It turns out that they will have nothing after losing the disgusting metal city before.

This sentence, these two words drove the entire huge team to act, but they soon realized that this matter would not be too difficult, there were not many guardian legions on the wall, and the space fighters had disappeared without a trace.

It was hallucinations and hunger that pushed them to act like this. During the two-month defensive war, the city finally exhausted the supplies they should have used for several years due to invasion and civil strife, but only Alan Bayer had a weird feeling, and it was the same for the empire.

The supplies of the Milky Way are definitely enough for them to reach out to the sea of ​​stars and break through this place, but the reality is that the empire has not been developed for thousands of years, and has been harassed and bound by civil strife, betrayal, huge troops and enemies in this place of the Milky Way, and then gradually became crazy, and then used various things to cure that madness.

The empire is constantly being consumed by war, and maybe one day it will become like this. Alan Bayer does not believe in the wisdom of future generations, otherwise the empire would not be reduced to this level, but what can he do as a mere Sun Lord?
Soldiers opened the gates of the outer walls, the guard towers that had hindered the Imperial Guard were no longer there, and the trucks, chimeras, and other important vehicles kept moving in, and the brightest blonde among them stepped out of the transport car wearing a seductive (presumably) inquisitor's leather coat and skeleton.

The Sun Lord who had just finished mobilizing for war was attracted by her, but he didn't care about this woman, but was curious about the judgment hall's opinion on this matter.

And the one who got off the car went straight to the point. When the beautiful figure moved extremely fast and stirred up a golden wind in the sultry center of the earth, everyone would forget that this is actually a resolute and murderous imperial judge. Only the Sun Lord still maintains that respect at all times, so as not to be attacked by spiritual energy.

Alan Bayer also admired her patience with Raitlin kid. Although he will not reach the front of the battleship, and his ability is not strong, but in addition to personal contact, she has shown a terrible tolerance for untouchables, so her psionic control should also be quite terrifying.

And she said calmly. "Master Sun Lord, long time no see, the situation on the ground looks good."

Alan Baier replied. "Thank you, but the loss caused by the Tribunal to Skadi is shocking. This white world has now turned into brown, the shells of the Black Mechanicus and the actions of the Grand Inquisitor... You know, I am the highest command of the Star Forces. Whether it is Skadi's strategy or its being my hometown, the Tribunal has pissed me off."

Sweat was streaming down Miss Nova's forehead. Even if she robbed the giant ship of the Commercial Dynasty, she was not so nervous, or she was not afraid when facing a real demon.

"This, you, you..." She stuttered unexpectedly, and she didn't look cute. Contrary to the feelings of girls in most people's minds, the loss of the chicness and ease of the judge made people more irritating, but Alan Bayer didn't want to hold on to this matter too much. In essence, he needed the support of the court to maintain his idea of ​​​​retiring next.

He is still weak, the fewer enemies, the more friends the better, even if it doesn't count against the stupid and disgusting negligence of the Inquisition Tribunal for this, what he needs is not the hive capital wrapped in metal, and it looks better now.

"I hope the Tribunal can give me a good answer, and during this time, you can work normally." The Sun Lord said, emphasizing again. "For the Grand Inquisitor, how is the investigation of that wah...?"

Nova calmed down now and coughed. "Hey, he is a very serious judge in the records of the trial court, born in..."

Alan Baier interrupted suddenly. "Say something important, it has something to do with the war, I don't want to turn over his ancestral home."

Nova replied. "He started to reduce his reports to the Tribunal headquarters about three years ago, and the frequency of black ships coming and going in the jurisdiction has also dropped extremely fast, and the number of psykers sent has also become rare."

Alan Baier asked. "He's forming an army of psykers?"

Nova shook her head. "It's unlikely. Psykers are double-edged swords. The judge is even more aware that using those untrained lunatics will only lead to the consequences of their own fault. According to the investigation of the court, he has been transporting psykers to the range of the maelstrom during this period."

"Operating spells? Or is it that the red pirates have started to fiddle with those things, and they are really crazy, but in the short term, the enemy has become more difficult to deal with." The Sun Lord couldn't figure out the enemy's motives, so he could only make a rough analysis. While they were chatting, the car body kept moving forward, and Skadi's Ratlings and Catachan broke the enemy's defense.

Sergeant Catachan pointed a bolter shotgun at a traitor officer. The officer had no weapons and had already disarmed. He had wounds and scars on his face. He looked like a veteran, but now the Imperial Skyhawk on his chest had become a Chaos Octagram.

Catachan walks up to the Sun Lord, and reports. "Sir, I have brought the outside commander."

When the mortal saw the Sun Lord, the powerful guy who forced the space warriors into a mess, he knelt on the ground immediately, as if worshiping the gods he had seen, Alan Bayer only felt disgusted, afraid that something would defile him.

"Why did you bring this boneless thing here?" He held back and asked his non-commissioned officer patiently.

The Master Chief just said. "He said that he could report on the current situation of the enemy. I think my dictation can bring the most direct intelligence."

"Then you did the right thing, go and rest, leave this guy to me." Alan Bayer rubbed his temples, as if he couldn't stand this lunatic.

Sergeant Catachan shook his head. "I am your security guard. I don't trust those Stormtroopers. They are just outsiders from the Military Affairs Department. At least, it is better to use Skadi Grenadiers."

"I don't need so much protection. You know how many heretics I can kill by myself. It is better to use outsiders than to use your own people and waste the troops that can be opposed on the battlefield."

"Secondly, they are all the wishes of the Ministry of Military Affairs. If they refuse, there will be a crack, and it is useless to let them stay. The stormtroopers are also the elite of the empire. They were born in the Academy of Loyalty with the chief of staff, so they are not bad." Alan Bayer explained that Sergeant Catachan did not leave.

But now his attention is on this madman. "What happened to the castle?"

The guy said tremblingly. "The interstellar warriors rebelled, and it was normal at first, but then the Mechanicus activated the transformed machine servants, made of officers, the Grand Inquisitor couldn't stand this, and turned to join forces with the interstellar warriors."

"A large number of mortal troops were led by the judge to help the space warrior Hagrid break through. The entire castle was in chaos. The Mechanicus dispatched a large number of servants and operated the complex internal structure of the castle to cut off supplies. The mortal troops and space fighters broke through the defenses, encircled the net, and looted those things."

"The walls are considered a safe zone, but there are not many good days. Soon, food, hallucinogens, all gone, hunger and whispers of the chaos gods (withdrawal reaction) attacked us."

"Sun Lord, save me, save me! I am willing to return to the empire, give me medicine, give me some tonic!"

He moved forward like a mad dog, and had lost his judgment, Alan Baier just asked. "Without food, why aren't you skinny."

He suddenly didn't speak and stayed where he was, Alan Baier just looked sideways at the Master Chief.

The Master Chief replied. "Most of the corpses we see on the walls are cut wounds, but they are not fatal. Generally speaking, they are fatal with guns. Then the blade cuts slowly, intensively attacking the tongue, back, and cheeks where the fat is average, followed by the thighs and the meat at the joints of the arms."

Alan Baier smiled. "Quite experienced, I hope you have the same method to use in hell." He raised his weapon, and the gun spit out benevolent bullets towards the hopeless things. The blood wet the ground, unable to enter the earth made of metal, leaving only a bright red stream on those things.

And Alan Bayer also knew that the judge did not have enough authority, strength, and faith like the Pope of the Empire. A person like him could operate the entire betrayed Imperial Guard, so what he used was drugs.

Use space fighters to suppress the pdf and imperial guards stationed by Skadi, and then give them medicine to stabilize their loyalty, and then use those troops to control cultists and mutants, and communicate with Mechanicum to stabilize supplies and productivity.

If the Grand Inquisitor was born in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, he must have had a good life, Alan Baier thought jokingly, and felt that such a person should have a hard time now. After all, the external troops are already so short of food and clothing, so the internal mess will only be more disgusting and terrifying.

"What do you think, Ms. Nova?" Miss Judge was a little stunned by Alan Baier's sudden intimate call. She realized that many personal emotions don't matter to the Sun Lord, and she replied with admiration in her heart.

"Well, the castle may have been divided into two factions, and the Mechanicum should be the most powerful because it has supplies and does not need food. This castle should be powered by geothermal energy, followed by the space fighters, and finally the traitor guards." Nova calmly analyzed, but Alan Baier said.

"No, the most powerful are the space fighters, because no matter what, no matter what time, no matter what the situation, I know one thing."

"The group of Mechanicists can't make a big deal."

He turned to the soldiers and said. "Attention all, and then get ready for melee combat with the Chaos Traitor Space Marines. The elite troops are given priority, the veterans are given priority, and the new recruits clean up the battlefield and provide assistance."

"Then, the battle to attack Lloyd Castle begins! For the Emperor!"
