Warhammer: I am the Hammer of the Empire

He is my strongest warrior, who devotes himself to me.

Like a sculpture, I shaped him; in the flames of war, I tempered him.

My warriors have hearts like iron and bodies of steel;

They wear the strongest armor and hold the sharpest spears;

They are not invaded by diseases and cannot be disturbed by evil spirits;

They have learned tactics in hundreds of battles and are accompanied by divine weapons, making them invincible.

They are the guardians of Holy Terra,

They are the defenders of mankind,

In the name of the Space Marines, you should be fearless!

——The Supreme First Emperor of Mankind

Half a month after the Destruction Eagle joined Skadi, the Space Marines still refused to obey orders. The Space Marines were not under the command of the Imperial Guard. Even the Sun Lord could not mobilize those supermen without personal favors. This was not the restraint of the Astartes Codex nor the deliberate actions of the Empire, but also the innate pride of the Astartes warriors.

Alanbair saw that the Fourth Captain was born arrogant, just like a wild horse, but such a person would be extremely loyal if he was determined. On the contrary, he did not trust those who joined Skadi unconditionally.

Without the test of war, there was no common interest. If he asked to be under his command, then Alanbair would be very eager to investigate the situation!

So he returned to the meeting room and began to communicate with other departments. In fact, Alanbair had no control over the Destruction Eagle, except for the sergeant and his subordinates who had a very good relationship with him.

But he did not like to oppress their subordinates, but he needed to make them realize the pros and cons of cooperating with Skadi. For him, it might be a little tricky, but it would also make him deeply involved in the imperial vanity fair. Alanbair would have a headache about how to deal with those arrogant Space Marines, and fall asleep late at night.

At the same time, the Destruction Eagles were still gathering, exchanging, feasting, and constantly entering Skadi. They had become the sharpest blade in that world, but not the Lord. Just as the Destruction Eagle said in the lieutenant, the Emperor's super warriors would not be enslaved by mortals. They were willing not to call the Lord of Skadi mortals, which was the greatest mercy.

The boy Leitlin prepared a lot of wine and food for them. At the long table where a hundred people gathered, there were many brothers who thought that Skadi's idea was very good and felt that they could stay there.

The fourth captain looked at the brothers who had left less than half of the table of a hundred people due to the continuous wars at the end of the millennium, and realized the kindness of the Lord of Skadi.

"Brothers, they will live here in the future, protect that world, and the many lives there, in the east of the Emperor's light."

He spoke to comfort the fighting brothers who came to the new environment, but they were not necessarily unhappy. Such a comfortable place and food, those who were born in the wild world had never enjoyed it.

The Space Marines are not obsessed with desires. They are born swords, always seeking to be sharper than any material in this world and full of destructiveness.

They are satisfied with the momentary experience and will not forget their honor. Those warriors are born wild horses, difficult to tame. In addition to responsibility and the war group, they can't be driven by food and materials, status and power.

The Destroyer Eagles are satisfied with such feelings. They don't need the rule of mortals. They fly high in the sky, ambush the enemies of the empire, and death will fall from the sky. They will never stop. They are not falcons and will not listen to anyone's command.

That kind of arrogance and prejudice makes them still have a little rejection even if they are wrong to the organizer or the chef of that wonderful banquet, but some people think that food and nests are baits, and those Space Marines flying in the sky will soon be the Lord of Skadi to exert their power in the galaxy.

The orderly warriors took care of themselves, and the mortal servants cleaned up the food scraps. With a slight fatigue, the fourth captain returned to his new room. He did not want to sleep, but he was doing the most important thing.

He was planning a new recruit recruitment route for Skadi according to the strict and harsh new recruit selection method of the Destruction Eagle. The pharmacist had already indicated that gene seeds could be stored and cultivated there, and there were also stagnant positions to meet various special needs. The harsh natural environment there could also meet the needs of new recruit selection.

"Is it really a Feng Shui treasure land there..." He muttered to himself, but suddenly noticed a message on his personal data tablet.

He consciously opened the documents. Generally speaking, the official documents of the empire were distributed on brown paper. The data there were obviously not official statements and were not secrets.

His thick fingers gently brushed across, but the expression in front of him made the big man frown. Soon, there was a word that made him dissatisfied, but soon he realized that he could do nothing about it.

In front of the Forge World and Qiusai World, which have close relations with Skadi, Minatilia called. Normally, the relationship between the Mechanicus and the Space Marines is not too bad. The Destroyer Eagle has a long-term agreement with the Forge World in its own star zone. Now they speak to those people with sincerity, but they cannot answer their words...

The reason why the old soldier is so painful is very complicated. If it is just weapons, they can rely on technical sergeants to forge. If it is not a Space Marine leg technique, they can ask the pharmacist to do the leg technique. However, the only thing that can continue the lifeblood of the Space Marines is the modified organs that need to be approved by the Gene Sage before they can be cultivated.

When a new set of Space Marine organs is cast, a fertilized egg modified by the gene seed will be implanted in the body of a human slave for testing.

The slave who came from the east spent her whole life in a stasis experimental capsule, motionless. It served as a culture medium, and over the long months, two sets of pre-genomes were generated outside her body.

When the two sets of pre-genomes are developed, they are extracted from the original slave bodies and implanted into the other two test slave bodies to generate four pre-genomes.

By analogy, it would take 55 years of breeding to create a healthy set of organs used to create a Space Marine.

Those works must be formally sanctioned and performed personally by the Biological Archmagos within the Mechanicus, and then approved and actually used by the Chapter Master, so whether the forged lifeblood of the Space Marines is actually in the legs of the Mechanicus, when a Chapter is sage Only with the supervision and approval of the use of organs by the operator can they continue their own personnel replenishment.

The ruthless rejection of the forge world in the local sector made the veteran feel as if he had been attacked by the tyrants of the Behemoth swarm. His head was buzzing, and his low mood was delayed, making him look uncomfortable.

At the same time, another piece of kraft paper brought by a voyage ship was brought by a timid mortal servant. Faced with the rejection of Pan Lan, the governor of the forging world, there are only two 15-level stars in that star district and nearby stars that can reach the level of civilization. The Forge Worlds have closed their doors to the wrong Space Marines...

In an instant, the huge force crushed and shattered the poor terminal. The fourth company commander covered his cheek feebly and pondered for a long time. He didn't know why the Red Mechanicus refused. He wrote a star language all night, begging them for a reply. It came out of the blue. The fatigue caused by the bad news made him close his eyes. For a Space Marine, he didn't have to sleep for that long, but that time he woke up slowly at noon the next day.

Things did not get better because of his attitude. Even though he tried his best to please the sages of the Forge World, they still refused to provide the Space Marines with gene leg technology and production organs in that sector. When he offered to let When the Eagles of Destruction protect our world, they answer, the Lords of Skadi do better...

Those worlds of the Adeptus Mechanicus experienced the difficulties caused by the Red Corsairs. The entire sector had suffered from the Space Marines for too long, distrusting and fearing them. Instead, the people who saved them were the Imperial Guard, not the eternally absent Superman.

Such historical issues are the reason why Ruming's Destruction Eagle is not recognized. In contrast, Minatilia is willing to provide them with weapons because of the Master Chief's past activity, but is the help of the Gene Sage valuable? Those who are connected to the city can only be mobilized if they have close strategic partners.

It was not feasible for Ru Ming and the others to leave that star area. The cruiser stayed on the moon of Skadi for repairs. Most of the equipment and personnel also entered the fortress monastery outside the castle. The brothers were also used to the cold in Skadi. The weather is so bad that every move is caused by the group's sacred objects and the irresponsibility of the brothers. This situation puts the company commander in a dilemma.

He would not perish if he left. He could even bow down to those founding governors at this moment, but he could not leave his position. Those mental tortures mainly came from his sense of responsibility. Although he was wrong for the arrogance of mortals, he was wrong for himself. The brothers are very responsible.

That feeling kept tormenting his heart during the months that came from the east, until he saw his battle brothers living and working peacefully in Skadi, and he would think of the fortress withered because of the lack of Space Marine leg organs.

When he stepped into the hall again, most of the battle brothers who saw him at this moment would be surprised by his extremely poor condition. His body was no longer as strong as before, as if fatigue and pain filled his outside. When the haggard warrior met the sergeant in the hall "Commander," the hero of Destruction Eagle asked his commander in surprise.

"Oh my god, brother, what do I do?" He put his hands on his legs to supervise the mission of expanding the brothers in Skadi, and looked worriedly at what the once high-spirited warrior had become like this.

The warrior had become muscle atrophied and mentally weakened. Although the Space Marine's strong foundation kept him healthy, it was difficult to judge that he had no psychological problems. Although the company commander's voice was still loud, he answered absentmindedly.

"Brother, they have encountered difficulties. They are not enemies, not enemies of the Empire, but they are not trustworthy. They cannot integrate into that sector. The Red Pirates are full of misdeeds. Except for Skadi, everywhere else is full of hostility towards them. ”

"Some people confuse the Angels of the Empire with the enemies of the Empire. They think they... can become Chaos lackeys anytime, anywhere!"

The Master Chief's brave face changed briefly. "He doesn't have that feeling. Outside of his fighting time, most people think that he has a great attitude and no hostility at all."

"That's not possible. The trouble caused by the maelstrom made Pangea think that their hostility is very strong. It is similar in other star regions. It seems that it is the backbone of the entire area, and they..." He was rambling a little, analyzing the situation. , and then the Master Chief suddenly spoke.

"There is a difference, sir, then it is the hero of that sector, the hero of the Imperial Guard, the Lord of Skadi." The Master Chief said.

"He is the spiritual leader of that sector, and I do not deny the power of the Skadi Corps. They are outsiders stationed, not the troops of that sector. That judgment point will determine whether they will be defeated by Skadi." The Lord sent me,” he said suddenly.

"He experienced the unified force during the expeditionary force. The Adeptus Mechanicus, the Imperial Guard, and the citizens of the empire in that sector were all waiting for heroes to save them. The person who launched the expedition at this moment was the Lord of Skadi. In that sector Sector, he will oppose the Emperor's will." After the Master Chief finished speaking, the Company Commander showed an incredulous expression.

"You said, he must obey regional power? Submit strong power?"

said the Master Chief. "No, he is not power-crazy. He resigned from the position of Sun Lord. He has outstanding military exploits. He walked into Terra and can now command the entire empire. But otherwise, he is as bright as the empire. On the outside, the empire has become golden and jade. If it rots, we must continue the life of the empire outside the Great Wall so that human civilization can continue.”

"How can I be sure that the world is hopeless? He doesn't know who can give him hope." The company commander fell into a depression, which was due to the hopeless depression of the rotten world.

"He told him... that the original body will return. In the future, it is more appropriate than any prediction. He is very special. He has a 90% feeling that the great original body will wake up and his father will wake up." After the Master Chief finished speaking, the company commander Suddenly stunned.

"Father...then, also cocoa...there is cocoa, there is cocoa!" He hurriedly circled the hall, walked a few times, and the previous fatigue was swept away. He called to the mortal servants. He had already figured it out and obeyed the mortals. The troops are not necessarily disgraced. Even if the Destroying Eagle falls to the ground, he has to wait. If that day really exists, he must go to Terra to worship.

He brought out vellum and wrote beautiful words on it with a quill. Such a decision was to a certain extent a rebellion against the Codex Astartes. However, given that most of the Chapter regarded the Codex as rubbish, he announced indifferently. .

That strange star language soon spread out in that sector, so that the proud Space Marine Chapter would obey his personal orders every time the Lord Skadi existed in the real universe, but otherwise. They did not obey unconditionally, but the commander would determine the specific situation, but that order was strange enough.

The fact that the Space Marines served mortals almost confirmed the concept that Lord Alan Bair was chosen by the Emperor. In that sector, the news was forwarded by most of the worlds, and even spread tens of millions of light years before stopping in the East.

Such miracles are not caused by oppression. What really makes the Space Marines change their minds is hope. That hope makes them give up and never chase death again. Like the Master Chief, the eagle falls to the ground, but it is still sharp. .
