Warhammer: In the Name of the Emperor

The Galaxy-class transport ship Nibelungen is heading in the star sea. It is one of the largest first-class transport ships in the empire. Its huge cabin and hull that can be modularly assembled have long been the mainstay of the empire's shipping power. In addition, it also has great firepower.

As I said, this type of transport ship can be quickly assembled modularly on the hull. In addition to daily transportation of external cargo holds, the bays on both sides can also be added with fire decks, thus becoming a simple , but a huge armed cargo ship.

This makes the Galaxy-class transport ship highly sought after by inter-galactic merchant rogues and the Imperial Navy's transport fleet. Its huge hull can not only carry cargo far beyond that of conventional civilian cargo ships, but its own firepower is also sufficient. Deal with most pirate attacks.

And precisely because of this, the captain of such a transport ship often has to have the dual identities of a transport merchant and a naval battle captain. Fortunately, Captain Bardak is such a person.

He had served in the Imperial Navy for many years, first as a trainee officer, then as first mate, then as helmsman and then as captain. This gave him a wealth of experience, and he also had strict requirements for his sailors just like the Imperial Navy. He brought the strict military discipline of the Imperial Navy to the ship and was quite proud of his achievements.

But even in any time in the past, Captain Bardock has never seen such silence on the ship now. The Imperial Navy did emphasize Su Jing, but now, the atmosphere on the ship is simply dead silent. Even the sailors carrying the cargo in the cargo hold Everyone kept their mouths shut, and there was no usual complaining, noise, or cursing about the breakfast they had this morning.

It was so quiet here that even the roar of machinery was so eerily quiet that when Bardak walked across the cargo deck, he could only hear his own breathing. The whole ship looked like one of those ghost ships in the story. Secluded, and the reason for all this is right in front.

Bardak's ship not only carried a full warehouse of goods today, but also two distinguished guests. It is not that he has never transported high-ranking officials and dignitaries. As the largest transport ship in the empire, it is also the favorite for travel by various imperial dignitaries. Because of this Not only does it allow them to bring the ridiculous amount of luggage, but also a whole mansion of servants to serve them, and more importantly, it is safe, and they can travel across the stars on a ship with the firepower of a warship. It's always safer.

But today, no, Bardak had never served such guests before. He could not even believe what had happened before him, because the people he transported were two space warriors.

Two burly supermen stood in front of the window of the cargo hold. It was a window built for mortals. Compared with their bodies, it seemed extremely asymmetrical, but it also highlighted their own tallness. The captain held awe-inspiring mentality, and cautiously came to the giant's side.

"Dear Space Marines, is there anything you need me to do for you?" the captain said respectfully, speaking very softly, for fear that his tone would be too strong, which was completely different from the way he usually yelled at his sailors. , after all, he was talking to a Space Marine now, not the sailors on the ship.

"No, no need. Captain, it's enough if you promise to drive us here." The golden giant's voice was deep and rich, with a sense of unruffled majesty, which made the captain take off his hat, "I can do it for you two." It's my honor to serve. If you need anything, just ask."

"Thank you, Captain, there is nothing we need. Return to your post." "But my lord." "Compared to us, your crew needs you more." "As you command, my lord."

Another Space Marine watched him leave. He was not the first person he had seen to please and flatter in front of a Space Marine, and he probably would not be the last. Most mortals, in addition to fear and awe, , this is the only emotion left for the Space Marines.

This made Bell very uncomfortable. He didn't like this feeling. It always made him feel that in the eyes of these people, Space Marines were just another kind of nobles and lords, and just thinking about what those original nobles and lords were like. , Bell was quite disgusted and disgusted. After all, he himself came from such a family.

"Fortunately, our journey is almost over. If Helen's coordinates are correct." Bell looked at the awed sailors and turned to look at the Milky Way outside the window. Only the gorgeous and majestic galaxy could keep Bell in these few days. He found peace during the long journey, but in the past few days, he did have a lot of time to settle down and think about many things.

The same goes for another giant. The burly Captain Eisenstein turned his head and scanned the surrounding starry sky with his cold and solemn face, "Did you find anything?" "What do you mean? Captain." Love. Sunstein's sudden question made Bell feel a little confused, but the former's expression clearly wasn't joking.

"On this journey, the Marshal has given you the task of observing and seeing through the truth behind the disguise." Eisenstein said coldly, "The Marshal is suspecting something, so he sent us here. You can figure out what he suspects." Did you? Among us, you are the only one who has followed the marshal the longest, and you understand his suspicions."

Bell was silent for a moment. He did think a lot, and then nodded, "Partly, I'm not sure if that's the case, but" "But what?" Eisenstein asked. After thinking for a moment, Bell raised his head with sharp eyes, " He's doubting the Dark Angel's true intentions."

Eisenstein turned around silently and glanced at Bell, then glanced at the crewmen far behind him with his peripheral vision, then turned around and said, "What did you find? Brother." "There is indeed something, something very strange. "

Bell said, holding up the data plate he had been carrying with him. "He has checked the recent reports on the Dark Angels in the past few days and found that they have been looking for pirates. Since arriving in Damocles Bay, they have invested everything they have at hand. The troops are encircling and suppressing the pirates.”

"Is there any problem with this? Brother." "Yes, and the problem is big. We are Space Marines, company commander. You know that the pirates can never be wiped out. They are like weeds. After one wave is cut, another one will grow. Bo, it is useless to clear out the pirates. It will only contain the troops. Contain the troops of a battle group? "

Eisenstein frowned slightly and agreed with Bell to continue. The latter nodded and took a picture of the data plate, "You and I are both space warriors. We all know how precious the strength of space warriors is. When we engage in a war, we will also There are several other galaxies waiting for our support, time is precious, and there are astronomical casualties and losses in a moment, and we simply cannot afford to delay them."

And besides, Space Marines hate aliens more than pirates. This applies even to people from the rebel side, but why, the Tau are clearly on Tyril Munda, but the Dark Angels turn a blind eye.

"But the Dark Angels, they are devoting their entire group's energy to chasing down pirates here?" Bell said with a frown, pointing at the starry sky outside with the data pad, "No, all this is unreasonable and completely unreasonable. The precious military strength of the entire Chapter is used on such laborious matters, unless."

"What they are looking for is not pirates, but something or someone among pirates." Eisenstein added, looking at Bell with cold eyes, who also gave a confirmed nod, "Correct, company commander, Your judgment is as sharp as ever." "Maybe so, but in the name of the Emperor's Eye, I don't know what they are looking for."

Eisenstein frowned. As the son of Dorn, he was never good at hiding his thoughts. They always said whatever they had to say, as candidly as a stone.

"Unfortunately, Captain, I don't know either, but they must be hiding something. They don't want others to know what they are looking for, so they have never made any contact with the planetary capital or the Astra Militarum." Bell Ruoyou Looking out the window thoughtfully, he frowned and thought.

"And this is exactly the purpose of the Marshal sending you here, brother. He believes that your insight is better than mine, and you can see the hidden secrets." Eisenstein admitted without hesitation, with a calm expression. It was as if he was just describing an ironclad fact and had nothing to do with his own honor.

"You are serious, company commander. I am not better than any brother." Bell replied in a humble tone, but the company commander just shook his head meticulously, "Don't deny your talents and talents, brother, use them seriously. Treat them well, so that you can truly serve the Emperor."

"I'll do my best, Captain, but I doubt that the Dark Angels will be willing to face us honestly if they discover our current excavations." Bell expressed his efforts, hoping to express his concerns in a more respectful way, but This is obviously unnecessary, because Eisenstein has already seen his true semantics.

The company commander nodded seriously, with a cold expression, "I understand your concerns, brother. In the name of Dorne, I will seal my heart and control my words. No one will find out about this." "I believe so. , company commander.”

Bell said, and suddenly his face was illuminated by a ray of light. He turned to look out the window and saw a huge starship jumping out of the cold void. Cannons, and tens of thousands of battleships accompany it, like a giant beast in the astral world.

Its appearance caused a sensation, and the silence on the entire deck was broken. There was a commotion. Eisenstein turned around and shouted sternly to stop the commotion. He noticed at a glance and looked at the boatswain with the highest official position among them, "Get ready to approach." "It's docking." "My lord, that's it." "You don't need to know, inform the captain, we're here."

The boatswain nodded repeatedly, pushed aside the sailors and ran quickly to the communication station. Eisenstein turned back to look at the giant thing outside the window, "In the name of the Emperor, if the Marshal wants us to discover the truth, then we Find it and bring it back."

Bell frowned as he looked at the giant rock. He suddenly thought of what Lancelot had told him metaphorically. What he said was about the methods used by the Dark Angels to hide, "This This will not be a simple meeting of brothers, Captain."
