Warhammer: I am the Hammer of the Empire

The death of the director was a heavy blow to the rebels. Those soldiers were greatly assisted by the director's loyalty in their victory, and the director's grasp of the battle situation and high-intensity computing power were not something they could rely on.

Now that the Imperial Guard has taken over the war mission, the forge worlds and residential areas of the Adeptus Mechanicus are still in dire straits, and the pain of those messy traces of death and ruins left on the surface will not heal in the short term.

Only a strong centralized force can exert the unity and will of the citizens of the Empire. Even the Emperor does not know how well his disciples can achieve it.

And what made Alan Bair heartbroken was that his badge and one of Skadi's sergeants needed to follow the Mechanicus Magi, otherwise they would dry up like a dehydrated fish.

At the same time, the Imperial Guard needs to conquer the Himalayan-like man-made object in the east in a short time. With the empire's strong industrial and material science foundation, it is a huge and almost indestructible fortress. Alan Bair will not be able to serve as a guest here. Its harmony now seeks the intersection of weapons.

The officers of the Imperial Guard gathered in the dark and promethium-lit east. Inside the temporary trenches and engineering equipment, the field command post was still made of the strongest metal, at least the strongest thing they could find.

There are no messy lines here, just rough concrete foundations, and thick imperial metal. The narrow, stuffy, fully enclosed space contains a few tables, chairs, benches, and a strategic map played by the oil man.

Although simple, it is enough when the communicator is shut down. The tables are arranged in a square shape around the middle, and Skadi's few officers are surrounding this place.

Although they are not experts in tactics and have experienced numbness in the war, but now that the radio has been shut down, the Imperial Guard needs to plan the entire plan at once and determine three basic points: location, time, and target or code.

The absence of sound and contact means disorder and the decline of combat power. The absence of heavy armor cover means sacrifice and death. There is no doubt that it will be a tough battle. Alan Bair looked at the map of the hive city and traced the rough surface with his leg fingers. Pass.

"The communicator is almost useless. He is honored to feel the smell of the forest again. Of course, the situation in their hometown is much better."

"They must determine all objectives and circumstances at once, and keep victory and the Emperor's favor close to their side."

"First of all, they need to understand the situation, Second Lieutenant, and report to Yidong their current situation."

The second lieutenant tidied up his military uniform, especially his carapace, which was wiped very clean at the moment. He was not allowed to step into such a place before, but this time he guarded the Skitarii Castle and was "very close" to a duel. After defeating a Chaos Space Marine Champion, he was obviously promoted. Although it was not a loss of military rank, it also explained his status.

"Well, did you all see him there for the first time? But I think he is probably no stranger to you. Tomorrow, he will be honored to..."

Alan Bayer suddenly cursed. "What nonsense am I talking about? They all ate in the same trench. That's enough. I'll go east and listen, private."

The ensign got stuck. "Boss, I can't, he... hmm? What... private?!"

At this moment, a young man was wearing a baggy military uniform and new bulletproof armor, and his hair was not greasy or stained.

"That's right, no, sir, Yue'an, please call Dongtai now."

The second lieutenant choked up for a long time. He originally wanted to use his military rank to suppress it, but he saw the Catachan noncommissioned officer over there rolling up his sleeves.

Military rank? There is a P for military rank!

He was on the stage, under the attention of Skadi's big bosses, and was humiliated. But Alan Bair didn't need a clerk to introduce himself, he needed both soldiers and commanders.

Alan Bayer didn't like soldiers expressing themselves, but on that battlefield, he didn't need people, he just needed things. On the contrary, he started talking directly after the private walked to the central area.

He opened his backpack and took out a strategic map that was comparable to a professional level display. It clearly marked the difference in combat effectiveness between the Imperial Guards of the Ming Dynasty and the Adeptus Mechanicus, as well as the general situation of the capture points. He highly recommended which company to carry out. In terms of personal opinions on suppression and strategy, compared to Dong, the second lieutenant seems to be even more stretched.

He is not a local, but the point is wrong. Alan Beyer does not blame him for his opinion, but it is true that there are advantages to being educated in a major.

The private also spoke at this moment.

"They are currently fighting in the core city of the imperial forge world called Panlan. It covers an area of ​​about 2,435 square kilometers, but the core area is actually dozens of kilometers wide. For example, military equipment and military supplies can be made The location of the factory and the star port, based on this, the core area of ​​the main nest can be roughly divided into. "

He coughed, pointed at the strategic map with his leg, and then said. "It is a factory area where most of the firearms and ammunition are produced. It is also a residential area and full of human resources. It is connected to the main road from the east. Monitoring it is equivalent to controlling the transportation core of Pan Lan."

"Then in the city wall area, there are many skitarii entrenched there, so their firepower cuts off people outside the city from escaping. Secondly, even if they leave the city, the temperature outside the hive is enough to burn ordinary people to death."

"But he thinks it's a shame that the walls that once protected the citizens of the Empire are now killing their accomplices."

"Come east to the Skitarii base, which is where the traitorous sages gather, because after the betrayal, the governor did not allow any intelligent things to get close to the core God's Calculation Tower, so it was also where the traitor's core troops gathered. Point, too, is the fortress monastery of the Mechanicum, filled with the worship of the once-loyal God of All Machines.”

"Preliminary estimates indicate that it is equipped with a large void shield generator, approximately 100,000 combat servitors, and countless weapons."

"And he personally prefers to engage in psychological warfare. He can use the captured Mechanicus Magos to publicize the arrival of the Imperial Guard and the Empire's wrong attitude toward them to create divisions and stir up trouble."

Alan Bair nodded lightly. That plan was indeed good. Ruming's Mechanicus had indeed become loose and fearful because of the governor's abnormal xenophobia at the moment, but it did not mean that the task was easy. Fear was not the same thing. Looking forward to it. Whether they have faith or not is another matter. They are also afraid of the empire and the governor, but they have already made the choice between the two.

And for that task, only someone who understands the Oil Man well and is committed to the Imperial Guard can do that job, and the candidate for Alan Bair already has one.

Secondly, if they have control over the source of troops, no matter how powerful the governor of Ruming is because of the heresy, he can only be alone. His arrogance and greed allow him to isolate himself.

As long as the plan can be completed, it is obviously easier to mispay a governor than to mispay half of the forging world.

At this moment, the private continued to speak. "There is a certain area where the leader of the heresy is located, a disgusting traitor who killed countless of his fellow sinners."

"Then it is the Divine Calculation Tower. It is not only the star port of that world, the tallest building towering into the sky, but also the core place of the traitors."

"It has the most powerful void shield system in the world and a thick adamantium structure to maintain its absolute power. The underlying foundation is almost embedded in the center of the earth."

"So it is almost impossible for them to break through the enemy's defense from the east, and it is difficult for long-range firepower to break through the battleship-level void shield."

"So... they need to form a special assault force that can forcefully break through the enemy's exterior and then destroy the enemy's void shield generator. However, he also knows that as a newcomer he should not make such a choice. At this moment, he is telling you The imperial officer applied for it, he thought that was the best way."

Silence, the choice of death, even the Skadi people cannot accept such a plan casually, but Alan Bair stood up. "He agreed, and he would have done the same if he hadn't."

Then he smiled bitterly. "Of course, he also knew that the operation was hopeless, but he would have gone there. During that time, the command of the troops would be left to the private. He would organize the Imperial Guard to destroy the Mechanicus Skitarii base. and invasion operations.

At the end of that sentence, the second lieutenant immediately shouted. "No, why, he has just joined the group, and such risky actions should not be done by the boss, let him do it!"

The other officers also became restless. They stood up straight, as if saying they would not obey the order, but Alan Bayer slammed the table angrily.

Boom! The thick metal table was completely smashed and broken into two halves. The metal spikes cut through the palms of Alan Bayer's legs, and blood dripped down.

"What are the responsibilities of a soldier?!" he asked.

others answered. "Obey, kill the enemy, protect!"

Alan Bair nodded. "So it was up to him, Catachan, and the elite officers of the first company to form the unit to enter the enemy's exterior and carry out destruction."

"And our temporary commander will be executed by the private. He is very immature. I will be his adjutant as the second lieutenant. I also want to join him as the chief of staff."

The staff officer who had been acquiescing to Alan Bair's operation suddenly coughed. "Varied…"

"I have no right to command him. He is independent of the Skadi group, so he chose to go to the Calculation Tower with me. I am the core of the Skadi people, do you understand?"

Alan Bayer replied. "Then what if he leaves! What if the Skadis become people who cannot fight without him? He does not need soldiers to be his subordinates. He asks us to survive in any situation, not to refuse. Even if he arrogantly despises other commanders, he will not rely on him."

"Now he has said it directly. The second lieutenant and private will not be his heirs. If one day he can no longer maintain the title of war lord and captain of Skadi, then they will be the only commander!"

The officers were partly told and watched in silence. The staff officer's face was dark. He knew clearly that the lieutenant colonel was wrong. In that dark universe, no one knew what would happen. If one day Skadi could not contact the lieutenant colonel, Will the group be destroyed because of this?

The private was also very smart and understanding of human nature and continued to speak. "Currently they have occupied the factory area, residential area and main street, but the Adeptus Mechanicus Guard Corps relied on the help of Lingke electromagnetic pulse to paralyze their equipment and servitors. During that time, they had already relied on the superiority of mechanical power to occupy Most of the military locations.”

The officers turned back and walked east, acquiescing to the execution of the matter. Although it was difficult to accept that the young man who was not experienced in the world rejected their commander, they must also agree.

Only the second lieutenant was different. When he got the order from Alan Bayer, he knew one thing. He was the "big brother".

He was the "eldest brother of the family" and his boss also approved of it, so there was no doubt about it.

The ensign stretched out his leg to stop the recruit. "Is it true that my boy is a surprise soldier from the sky? The boss doesn't believe that he can lead his brothers to have a good confinement, is it true?"

He thought for a while and then said to Alan Bayer. "Boss, he will definitely take good care of that kid. I don't need to worry about other things. The chief of staff is also with him. I just need to kill the heretic and wait for them to come for support."

Alan Bair sighed. "It's almost as if he supports us, Skadi people. They always remember that a proud enemy will be defeated, and they have always despised their scientific background. But apart from blood and tradition, there are many things that connect them, and they are fellow human beings. It doesn’t matter whether it’s Keban or Catachan, just kill the enemy.”

"There are two kinds of people in the world, winners and losers, and he begs everyone who is alive in Skadi to be a winner, no matter how much it costs or how many sacrifices it requires."

"Compared to that, the price of obedience is not high at all."

"Now, Catachan marches out!"

With a command, the Catachans walked out of the crowd. "No, Captain!"

Alan Bayer said again. "Officers out!"

People wearing military uniforms with many badges on their chests came out.

"No, Captain."

Alan Beyer said. "They want to fight tit for tat with the heretics. No matter what, no matter when and where, they ask for this, and they have always been prepared for it. As the oldest members of the group, they have a responsibility, and that responsibility is not limited to the orc attack. What the Imperial Guard's predecessors inherited when they emerged from the trenches is still preserved, and now, it's time for them to fulfill it!"

"Operation goal, turn off the void shield, kill the heretics, and protect the empire!"

"Nothing else. Do you have any doubts?"

the soldiers answered. "No!"

But there were a few "new recruits" who raised their legs. "Boss, he wants to go too!"

Alan Beyer said. "We don't deny the former members of the Third Regiment, they don't, understand."

"If I think I'm qualified, I'll challenge one of their old guys."

At this moment, the Catachan soldier raised his legs and arms, revealing the bronze legs and arms and the Catachan devil tattoo on the horse.

And seeing that scene in the eyes of the private, the appearance and experience of him being pushed away by the adjutant that day suddenly reappeared, vividly in his mind, and he understood why he joined the Imperial Guard.

Then should we inherit something that will make the empire continuous and last until the Ming Dynasty...
