Warhammer: In the Name of the Emperor

The light of stars twinkles in the distant night sky. Their bright starlight not only represents beauty and vitality, but also symbolizes destruction and death. In the depths of the distant galaxy, there is only war in the world.

The heavy mechanical arm released its own arm, and the Emperor-class battleship that had broken away from the damaged Moon-class cruiser drifted away due to its huge size as the traction system was shut down, and finally disintegrated far away from the battleship. For cosmic dust, its final explosion lights up the starry sky.

Vito stood in front of the circular bridge window with his hands behind his back. The flickering firelight reflected on his face. His pupils shrank inward and turned into a line, but soon as he turned around, his eyes recovered. normal.

"Are you in trouble?" After the bridge hatch opened, Ragnar and three others walked in. They took off their helmets and gathered on the unique bridge of the Emperor-class battleship.

The reason why it is said to be unique is that this Emperor-class battleship has abandoned most of the useless and wasteful decorative designs, and replaced it with a unique simple aesthetics, which is very common on mountain formations. In short, it is a design method that was highly praised in the golden age.

The once gorgeous statues and useless stone slabs were replaced. Their positions were replaced by more meditators, computing servitors and terminal operation arrays. The entire bridge space was effectively used. Although it was not big, it was But it integrates many things.

Ragnar stepped onto the tactical platform in the center of the bridge. Below, it was hollowed out and designed into a circular operating area. Core Data Meditators were placed there, forming a circle around the walls. Their The data is aggregated via cables and a portion of it is projected onto a platform above.

Cole, Anna, Yeta, and Yarick were all here next to the holographic projection table. They stood on the circular platform and table, nodding to the three Space Marines who were walking towards them.

"Trouble? Not yet, but it will be soon." Vito responded. He walked over from the flashing window and walked on a small bridge extending from the observation deck. Below were ships that were constantly passing by. bridge area.

"What's the trouble?" "It's not big or small, Yeta. You know the situation, so you can tell me." "Yes, Marshal." The young adjutant bent down, and the tunic coat on her back fit against her spine, making her feel uncomfortable. Ragnar whistled, and then he was poked by Lancelot with his elbow before being suppressed.

Yeta clicked for the first time, and a planet appeared on the projection. Thanks to the more powerful cogitator engine function of the Emperor-class battleship, the projection of the planet was not a pure single tone, but a richer and truly ecological display. The appearance of the planet appeared.

Eisenstein frowned and looked at the planet carefully. At this moment, Vito came over without haste, "An Earth-like planet has no ocean, so it is presumed to be a dry environment." "Absolutely correct."

It was Yeta who answered him. After she clicked again, the relevant information finally appeared on the edge. Eisenstein verified his guess. He was right, this was a dry planet.

"Il.mon.Cute?" "You are so cute, Ragnar." "Can you pronounce this damn name? Who got it? You Calibans?" "I know you want to imply, We like to take words that look weird to you, but, no, it has nothing to do with us, it looks more like a name to me." "You're right."

Vito finally affirmed. He came to the table and looked at the planet spinning in front of him, "It is the name given by the Eldar because this was once a colonial planet of the Eldar. During the Great Expedition, we were on A group of human branches interbreeding with the Eldar were discovered here.”

"Mixed living?" Lancelot asked in surprise, "What do you mean." "Yes, just as you thought, the humans here have mixed with a group of wild spirits for many years, and miraculously survived the dark ages. Of course, it was only temporary. After the arrival of the Imperial Expeditionary Force, the Mechanicum's analysis showed that their genes were completely contaminated, so the Emperor personally ordered the extermination, and all the indigenous people on the planet were wiped out. null."

"Of course, it's not entirely true. I remember that in the end there were still some, a few survivors, who fled into the desert and sand dunes, but it was a restricted area of ​​life, and even the Astartes troops could not survive in it, so I guess they didn't leave anything behind."

Ragnar nodded, folded his hands on his chest, and picked up the helmet between his fingers, "Then what does this have to do with us? The local human and Eldar hybrids have come back to life?" "No, it has nothing to do with them, Ye "Ta, it's your turn."

Ye Ta said, after clicking on the desktop a few times, he stood up. There were many more displays on the planet, but the most eye-catching one was a huge green skin LOGO, "A green skin army has invaded." Here, they killed all the descendants of the settlers who later immigrated here after the Eldar hybrids were cleared, and occupied the planet. "

"Occupy this place where birds don't poop? Why? Eat sand?" "No, it's for the things under the sand." Yeta put one hand on his slender waist and pointed at the planet in front of him. A projected meteor flew from a distance and hit the surface of the planet. "This planet is in an active asteroid zone. On average, every ten years, there will be a meteor shower impact climax, and they will destroy the planet." Cities, so most of the buildings are underground, and after the meteor shower passes, a large amount of asteroid debris will be left on the barren desert.”

As she spoke, a holographic projection of an asteroid appeared in front of her. It was peeled off with Yeta's fingers, revealing the ore underneath. She lightly hooked her fingers, and part of it fell off, and was enlarged and presented to everyone. In front of you, "These asteroids, or meteor showers, contain rich and expensive rare metals inside. After development, they can be used as important raw materials. Battleships, city buildings, and even the armor on your body are all rare metals extracted from them." Made of elements.”

"And the greenskins have occupied this place and also control those rare metals." Vito added, standing next to the projection, his eyes scanning the internal structure of the asteroid, "We just destroyed one of the greenskins. The moon, and by coincidence, they occupied this place, so I speculate that there is a high probability that they will use the rare metals here to build the next moon. "

"And even if not, these rare metals will be used to build their war machines. I don't think we have forgotten those huge steel monsters." Cole crossed his arms and said on the other side. Of course, they have not forgotten those burly steel monsters. War machines, as large as Titans, forged from the stars of the greenskins' savage gods.

Eisenstein nodded and pointed to the planet itself next to the enlarged asteroid, "Then we must recapture it and return the precious resources there to the empire's hands."

"This is the next trouble, and it is also the trouble before us. We are short of troops. Loken and Reina asked for support. The Necron attack is far more intense than they thought. They claim that the leader of the attack is a man named The Necromancer of the Silent King."

"They have an entire fleet, a Legion of Astartes, and possibly other Space Marine forces, as well as mortal forces, but they still can't handle it?" "It's a pity, Lancelot, the Necrons. This attack is much stronger than they and the Inquisition expected, and they may face more than one undead dynasty. "

Cole said, looking at the planet in front of him, "And this is not the worst, the sub-group of the Ultramarines has been recalled." "Recalled?" "Yes, Eisenstein, they received the order, it is said that the Liman himself ordered that all supernumerary sons of the Ultramarines return to Macragge, and the army of Chaos is attacking the Five Hundred Worlds. "

"That Chaos army? The Black Legion?" "No, it's worse, it's Nurgle. Nurgle's plague demon army has launched a war against the Five Hundred Worlds. One of the plague fleets is led by Typhas of the Death Guard Legion, and The other is led by Nurgle's great daemon, the disgusting and sickly Typhus, and that's not even worse."

Cole frowned and looked around at the people seriously, "The third fleet is personally led by Mortarion, the demon primarch of the Death Guard. He has released plagues on many planets, and Nurgle's walking corpses have wreaked havoc. Throughout the Five Hundred Worlds, the Ultramarines continue to support, and they have recalled all troops, including ours."

"This means that we are seriously short of troops. If we launch an attack on the mining world in a hurry, we are likely to lose more troops, and then we will have to face the main force of the greenskins. We have no resources to waste here." "But we must capture this place."

Vito propped his coffin on the table with finality. He exchanged shares with them and looked at the planet. "The worst case scenario is that we must destroy this place and execute the extermination order, but this planet is rich in resources and has a great impact on the entire planet." The Empire is vital to the production of the entire Tempest Galaxy."

"We must protect this place as much as possible, and even if we want to issue an extermination order, we need to reach the planet's low-Earth orbit. This means that no matter what, we have to launch an attack, and Cole is right, We can't afford to lose more men here."

"We have to send out scouts to find out carefully first. The local situation will determine how to attack." Vito raised his head, Ragnar and Lancelot nodded. Eisenstein took a step forward and asked, "I will Send out the best scouts we have." "No, it can't be the Astartes. They are too arrogant. If the greenskins find them, they will know that our fleet is about to attack and take precautions."

Vito shook his head and pointed to the planet, "We must send out a reconnaissance team that is inconspicuous and will not be taken seriously even if the greenskins find it. Moreover, this team must be familiar with the army, navy, and Asta at the same time. Special, the combat habits of the Titan Legion, so that the most efficient reconnaissance can be carried out."

"You can't go." Cole frowned, and the captain waved his hand, "You are the commander of the expeditionary force, and you cannot put yourself in danger. Besides, the expeditionary force is weak now, and you need to stay here to command."

"Then it can only be me." The pleasant female voice said, and everyone looked over. The fiery red-haired Yeta stood aside with one hand on her hips, "I am familiar with all the above units, and have received ground combat training, and For wilderness survival training, I’m the best candidate.”

"Indeed." Eisenstein nodded in affirmation. Vito stared at Yeta in silence for a while, and the latter smiled at him, "Give me this chance, you know, I won't let you give it to anyone else. "Indeed, you won't, so fine, you go, but you have to send a well-known and easily identifiable figure to follow you, so that if there are any remaining imperial forces on the planet, they can help." you."

"I'll go." Yarek, who had been silent, said. Vito looked at him and looked at Yarek. His injuries were all healed, and the healing speed was unexpectedly faster, even faster than that of the Astartes. The self-healing speed is even faster.

He has been reinstalled with mechanical eyes and arms, and has become the famous political commissar Yarek. You can recognize him at a glance, and even people who have never seen him will be suppressed immediately. From this, it seems that he does meet the requirements, and there is another reason that cannot be mentioned. He is not a member of the expeditionary force. Even if he is sacrificed, he will not cause more losses.

"Then, let's add you, and I will give you a fully armed team." "Take orders." "But there is still a problem."

Cole interrupted them and raised both hands. "To reach the planet and send the reconnaissance team up, we need to pass through the greenskin defenses." "Can't our spaceship do it?" "Okay, But there is a problem. To safely cross the blockade, a small shuttle ship can easily be detected by the detection system, and with strong enough stealth and anti-reconnaissance equipment, the larger the size, and the ships that can carry it can only The bigger the better, but this brings new problems. The bigger it is, the harder it is to hide. Even if the reconnaissance team can pass through the orbit of the planet, the stealth system will be turned off after the ship lands. With such a big ship, even a blind man can turn up."

"Can we solve this problem?" "Unfortunately, no, efficiency, portability and size are an impossible triangle." "You can't say that, it's just a triangle for us, but for another technology, That’s not it.”

Vito said quietly, and Cole looked at him. The latter smiled at him and then snapped his fingers. The projection on the table changed again and turned into a silver long boat.

"Golden Age Technology, You Deserve It."
