"When you find him, tell the Wolf Group to be careful and don't kill him directly. The more accurate intelligence of the two worlds will fall on this prisoner!"
"No problem, no problem. Now the people of the Wolf Group are following me in the infiltration. If we really find that guy, I think I must have a higher authority to deal with him. Hey, another radio call, let's not talk about it for now."
"Okay, you go ahead and get busy. I'll contact you as soon as I find you."
After a brief chat with Hammer, Gu turned his main attention back to the main battlefield he was in charge of. At this moment, the land in the Howling Wilds that was chosen as the bombardment area had been turned upside down by drizzling fire. Smoke, various fragments that could not be distinguished from their original shapes, and flames that had not yet been extinguished could be seen everywhere. Even the color of the soil itself was "dyed" into the appearance of a battlefield.
"The Ultramarines will begin the mopping-up operation one minute after the bombardment ends. I will personally go to the front line to command. Lord Maldiush, keep in touch."
After taking a quick look at the battlefield situation and confirming that the largest cluster of Profane Servants that could be observed was less than or equal to ten, Gu felt that it was a waste of time to stay in the command center any longer, so he turned around and walked out of the command room. Then, he stopped at the door as if he had thought of something.
"By the way, Lord Maldiush, when the Ultramarines conduct a mopping-up operation in teams of 2-3 people, arrange your people to follow in groups."
19. Their respective movements
The wilderness was scorched after being baptized by artillery fire.
Bomb craters still emitting smoke could be seen everywhere, the dirt and gravel that had been blown up and fallen still had a slight residual warmth, and metal fragments that had once belonged to artillery shells, rockets, or shattered profane mechas were scattered all over the ground.
However, even though the Howling Wilds had been deeply "plowed" by heavy artillery and rockets, and even though the ground had been turned over, some of the "lucky" Profane Servants that had not been destroyed were still stubbornly moving on the ground. After the gunfire stopped, these cursed, abominable, and sad beings gathered together again according to their program, dragging their
Intact or broken bodies continued to move numbly towards the direction of the spacecraft launch center - and when their "perception" told them that there were living humanoid creatures moving around nearby, these distorted beings quickly gave up their targets and rushed towards the direction they "perceived".
Then, for this action, they received a gift—
Rest brought by bombs and lasers.
————————————The cleaning team is cleaning——————————————————
"Gu report, gu report, the latest news, the latest news, the bombardment phase here is over, I am letting the U group and the Cadia team take the vehicle to clean up the remaining blasphemous things - the efficiency is good at the moment, it looks like it will take less than a week for the alarm near the space center to be lifted."
Gu, who had just accurately blown up two blasphemous mecha-servants with a explosive bomb and was now killing a group of blasphemous mecha-servants with a power sword, was using this opportunity to further familiarize himself with the power of the chess piece he used as an advent body. At the same time, he opened the Hammer chat room and boasted to other Hammer guys. About ten seconds later, Egg was the first to reply.
"I have burned all the way to the wreckage of the transport ship that crashed near the large smelter. I am going to take my little brother up there to see if there is anything I can touch."
"...That ship is just a modified transport ship. What can you touch? Egg, you didn't start to think like a garbage collector just because you used the Oil Man's pawn as your descendant, did you?"
"Hey, Liang Feifan, you just don't know how expensive firewood and rice are. Although theoretically we have unlimited ammunition and logistical resources, we are really short of some things now. The first thing is the engine that can propel large masses into space. You all know the payload of the transport plane that the Space Center has found. With that payload, it would be easy to transport our chess pieces and the Empire's troops into space for a month!"
Hearing Liang Feifan's complaints, Jidan, who in some sense was already the logistics chief of the imperial forces of the entire Sosaki world, immediately pointed out his "mistakes" in a "subtle tone".
"Ha, that's true. By the way, how is Abathur's recent advancement speed? Has he already captured the third space station?"
Liang Feifan realized his "mistake" after a quick thought and "apologized" readily while changing the subject subtly. When he heard his name being called, Abathur immediately appeared.
"No, I suspended the invasion after I captured the second space station. Didn't Jing Jing tell you? He asked me to transfer the main force over to stand shoulder to shoulder with his chops."
"Ah? Silence? What did you find?"
Abathur's words immediately diverted the Hammers' attention again, and they were ready to watch the show - after all, the only ones among the Hammers who had the ability to fight in space were Silence and Abathur. This poor Hammer suddenly asked Abathur's Tyrion to come over to help control the situation, so there must be something important going on!
"I'm not sure yet. I'm just taking precautions. If it really happens, I'll let you know."
Silence spoke back, but the Riddler.
"cut----"
Silence's "righteous" performance of telling riddles successfully earned him the middle fingers from the Hammer guys who were currently bragging and chatting. Just when they were about to try to "force" Silence to tell them what he had discovered, the words of the Chosen One diverted the attention of all the Hammer guys once again.
"Everyone! Good news! I caught a traitor alive!"
——————————————Mine No. 3, underground——————————————————
Shaking like sieve bran.
He buried his head tightly and dared not raise it.
He begged for mercy incoherently, swore that he was forced into it, and said that he was willing to confess anything.
When the God's Chosen used the radio signals sent out by the traitor who was hiding in the underground of Mine No. 3 and wanted to "do something big", he easily found his hiding place and blocked this guy in the cave effortlessly. The man who looked to be only thirty years old suddenly felt his legs go soft, knelt down very smoothly, and made a series of movements that made the Wolf Group men who followed the God's Chosen one feel sick. When the Wolf Group men smelled a certain peculiar smell gradually emanating from him, their disgust for this thing reached its peak.
"Champion, what do we do with this guy?"
He rubbed his teeth vigorously, controlled his emotions, tried his best not to look at the thing, and spoke in a deep voice - Gray Hunter understood that this champion veteran from the Raven Guard must have had some plan when he did not incinerate the disgusting thing immediately after discovering it.
"He said he was willing to hire anything."
The Chosen One spoke, but what he said made Gary raise his eyebrows slightly.
"Something like him can't possibly know too many things, champ."
"If we only use normal means, he really won't give us any valuable intelligence, but the good news is that some of the means we can use now are not conventional."
"You mean-?"
Gary frowned his raised brow, thinking of certain customs on Fenris.
"No, this risky matter should be left to our allies.
'Just do it - and rest assured, they can be trusted until the very end."
The Chosen One said this as he walked up to the traitor, lifted him up gently, and smiled at him with his unhelmeted mouth - it didn't look like the smile of a Raven Guard, but more like the gloomy smile of a Night Lord.
"Then I'll take you to a place where you can confess everything."
20. Information at hand
Will the Astartes watch humans being tortured by the xenos?
In fact, even if they were Astartes who had betrayed the Empire, as long as they had not fallen too deeply into Chaos, when facing both the Empire and the Aliens at the same time, their first target of hatred would most likely be the Aliens rather than the Empire - because the hatred for non-human races was already engraved into the design genes of these Emperor's warriors. When faced with the situation of humans being slaughtered by the Aliens, these superhuman warriors would almost instinctively make a choice.
However, for the Astartes who remain loyal to the Empire, are there any exceptions to this?
There are also.
That is, when a certain human has shamelessly betrayed the Empire, joined the Empire's great enemy, and even committed a series of evil acts against the Empire...
—————————————The dividing line of the Eldar——————————————————————
“Ah——Ah————!!”
"No—I really don't know—ah—ah—I—I remember—yes! That's it!"
“Don’t – don’t use that thing – waaaaaaaah –”
“Please——————”
Somewhere in Sosekhi, in a phase that is impossible to find by normal means, some things that are impossible in the Warhammer 40K universe are happening - the traitor caught by the Chosen was handed over to Liang Feifan's bean sprouts, and Liang Feifan's bean sprouts took this guy to their Miaomiao House - in this interesting place, Liang Feifan's large number of white bean sprout chess pieces and a small number of black bean sprout chess pieces put down for some purpose live in harmony, fighting together for the great cause of the Emperor. [Welcome to the "moon" of the "night raid": group:]:.6;9?.4?:9.,3:""6!，1:3";5?."
Now, the traitor who was sent here was tied tightly to a pillar, enjoying the "serving" from both the black bean sprouts and the white bean sprouts, and being "caressed" accurately from heart to soul. The traitor who received such a great gift recalled everything he knew exactly in the first second when he began to feel this "happiness". He expressed in a rhythmic and distorted voice that he was a shameful traitor who did not deserve such preferential treatment, and swore in various vicious ways that he really knew only this much! All he wanted now was death!
"Your destiny is heading towards annihilation, but your annihilation may also become a beacon of light."
After confirming that this traitor was probably truly "repenting" sincerely, Liang Feifan, the Ark Eldar Bishop, did not hesitate to use the soul of this traitor, whose body was already severely damaged, as the medium of psychic magic. Through the connection between the soul of this person born in the world of Balaton and the world soul of the world of Balaton, which was imperceptible to even slightly stronger psychics, he conducted some "simple" psychic retrospection of the time of the world of Balaton and collected some information that would have been impossible to find by conventional means. After taking on such an important responsibility, this traitor also "smiled" and received the forgiveness of the Emperor in the way that his soul was scattered and his body was completely disintegrated.
Well, probably got the Emperor's forgiveness.
————————————The dividing line between the Hammer guys——————————————————
"Come on, here comes the timeline of the Baraton Rebellion - let's take the Baraton world and compare it with normal history. Where did this galaxy go wrong?"
With the end of the torture, a report about major events that happened a long time before Balaton was also sent to the Queen of Glory. After receiving this unexpected surprise, the Hammer guys immediately asked Big E for the original history, and immediately compared with great interest the differences between the normal history and this changed history in the Balaton world. Soon, the Hammer guys found the problem.
"...In the normal timeline, the Black Oilers of Baraton's warp communications failed to attract any manpower, and the rebellion they set off was of low intensity, and was almost resolved by the Oilers of Baraton's world themselves. However, when this system began to be surrounded by the warp storm, their warp communications instead attracted a Chaos Astartes warband that believed in Slaanesh?"
"This Chaos Astartes warband directly destroyed the Hive World, while in the normal timeline, nothing happened to the Hive World - this in turn caused problems with the PDF's manpower on the Agricultural World. The greenskins controlled more than 90% of the planet's surface at a speed more than three times faster than in the normal timeline. In the normal timeline - when the Imperial vanguard arrived, these greenskins only controlled about 65% of the planet."
"Then the subspace storm blocked our retreat, and the Imperial troops that had just been airdropped were collectively trapped in Sosekhi.
At the critical moment when the air control was vacant, the Black Oiler and the Chaos Astartes successfully colluded and completely seized control of the Forge World. After that, the warp storm intensified again, and the Morton Hess system was completely cut off from the core area of the Empire and became an isolated island. "
"So, is there anything worth noting on the world of Balaton? After all, it's a medium-sized forging world, and there's a hive world and a mining world next to it, so there must be something there."
"I don't know. Big E doesn't have detailed information, but I think it's normal for a medium-sized forge world to hide two Gotai or larger Predator Titans. Do we have any way to fight against Titans now?"
"Yes, the Shadow Sword of the Political Commissar Sister. I think it's the only thing we brought this time that can pose a direct threat to the Titans."
"...It's a bit mysterious. With the size and mobility of the Shadow Sword in the real universe, I'm afraid it will be used as a target by the Titans first."
"Well, this matter has not yet been finalized, so let's just discuss it for fun first - Gah! When the meeting starts later, I'll leave the explanation to you. Who said you are the 'only Astartes who can understand the bean sprout riddle'?"
".....It's not a big deal. When will the meeting start?"
"It is better to do it now than to wait for a day. I think the brother from the Wolf Group is a little anxious, so let's choose an hour later. God's choice, contact the brother from the Wolf Group and tell him that we have obtained the intelligence! We need to use this intelligence to study a counterattack plan!"
21. Premonition of an Ambush in Space
The Galilean Wolf felt a bit of a headache.
In other words, all the high-ranking imperial officers who are not Hammermen and are currently attending the meeting are feeling very troubled.
Having successfully understood with their own logic why such a mixed force of Imperial Astartes, which was of average number but extremely high quality, would unexpectedly appear in the Morton Hess star system under the guidance of the Eldar aliens, they repeatedly read the interrogation intelligence "translated" by Gu himself, carefully pondering the horror hidden behind this series of things, while the Mechanicus bishop, played by the egg, also stretched out his hand, pretending to point in front of him, and thinking about the "future" issue "seriously".
"Well, at least I have to admit that those alien things have been quite useful so far - but if the information provided by those Eldar aliens is completely true, then our opponents are capable of more than just 'throwing a bunch of garbage' on our heads."
After reading this intelligence at least three times, the Galilean Wolf had already outlined their current situation in his mind, and this situation was definitely not good - before the Hammer guys arrived, they had thought that the rebellions in Balaton and Udal were common versions of the Imperial rebellion, which could be dealt with quickly after solving the greenskin problem in Marko's world. Then, after learning some time ago that the other side was going to throw a bunch of blasphemous things down, they removed the answer in their hearts and labeled these two worlds as Chaos traitors. And now?
This is no ordinary Chaos rebellion! Normally, this kind of galaxy fall involving the Chaos Astartes and the Dark Mechanicus would require a force led by a Grand Company of the Astartes to solve the problem!
Um.....one Astartes Company, they seem to have one here? There are even one and a half more companies, that is...
"We have already allocated 85 percent of our manpower and material resources to repair the launch pad and improve the space vehicles at hand. I promise that in a month at most, you will be able to start sending troops to space stably - and the speed will be getting faster and faster."
The egg, having finished 'thinking', raised its head and gave those present a reassurance in advance.
"In addition to this information, the aliens also mentioned one thing. In order to make our cooperation smoother, they are willing to help us deal with the guy who defected to the Chaos God in the space station near Sosek—if we need it."
Seeing that all the True Imperials present understood the meaning of this intelligence, in order to prevent certain accidents from happening, Gu immediately took advantage of the situation and gave the credit for several space stations cleared by Abathur to Liang Feifan's Bai Douya. At the same time, when he said this, he naturally saw that Gali Wolf and the Lord of Maldiush Castle frowned.
"According to calculations, if the aliens really do this, then the pressure on us to return to space will be reduced by percentage points. At the same time, the amount of materials we need to prepare for returning to space will also be reduced by at least percentage points. I will go and talk to the aliens about this matter."
However, before the Galilean Wolf could say anything, the Iron Hand Captain controlled by the Political Commissar spoke first, taking the lead in his hand. Hearing the words of the Iron Hand Captain, who had the most Astartes troops under his command, he also cast his eyes on the Imperial Fist Captain controlled by Liang Feifan. Seeing the hint from the Political Commissar, Liang Feifan "thought" for about three seconds and nodded slightly.
"Imperial Fists, no comment."
——————————————The dividing line between the Hammer guys——————————————————————
"Ah! Another successful round of deception——"
On top of the Queen of Glory, Liang Feifan slapped his mouth, yawned loudly, and watched with satisfaction as the battle plan, which was actually completely concocted by the Hammers, was passed in a "very democratic" way.
Beside him, the Political Commissar arranged her Iron Hand and IG to do things, and then connected the communication to Abathur and Silence, who had been squatting in the operations room for some time and had not come out.
"Silence, Abathur, we've got it down there, have you found anything over there?"
"Hey, hey, hey - look at what we found. We've caught up. Look!!"
About a second later, Abathur's somewhat 'smug' laugh sounded in the communicator, and at the same time, a 3D projection of a ship appeared in the projection area of the bridge.
".....Slaanesh's warship? Is this what you are squatting on, Emotional Silence?"
"Yes, I previously completed an effective electronic invasion of a portion of the space station on that hive world, and then unexpectedly saw many Chaos traitors carrying all kinds of messy things to this ship. I lurked nearby to see if I could catch a big fish. Unexpectedly, I actually caught one!"
The sound of silence followed Abathur's voice, and there was a hint of pride in his tone - all the hammers here could see that such a ship must have carried more than just a few crappy things, and it was likely that some warriors of the Slaanesh Astartes warband had set off on board. If they could destroy it...
Hey, that scene is beautiful just to think about!
"Do you need support? I, Bean Sprout, still have some space combat capabilities."
Liang Feifan glanced at the Bean Sprout chess pieces under his command and felt that he could probably get a piece of the pie in the sky... No, give some support to his comrades. However, to his regret, Silence and Abathur rejected him at the same time.
"Not really. Your pawn is white bean sprouts, Slaanesh's favorite prey. It's a bit stupid to expose it now. It would be better to give them a surprise when we counterattack the hive world. In fact, we kind of want this ship to die silently."
"...That's fine, right? But isn't it a bit difficult to make them die silently? According to the resources of the Wandering Chaos Astartes, they should be able to notice any problems with this ship in the galaxy?"
"Just treat it as a challenge - if it succeeds, our two species can still be the surprise troops in the universe for a long time - after all, even if it is a Chaos creature, knowing that there are still Tyranids and Pai Gu in this galaxy, it will be more cautious in doing things, right?"
"Indeed - good luck to you guys then."
"Don't worry, don't worry. In the worst case scenario, we can turn this ship into something that can't even be considered a space wreck. Abathur, wait another hour and a half, and then we'll start?"
"No problem, my swarm is already thirsty!"
22. Chaos warship boarded
There was a strange fragrance and the cups and plates were in a mess.
Chaos Astartes, 'wearing' clothes made of human skin, silk, and colorful flowers with patterns full of decadence and decay outside their power armor, lay on the ground in the bridge of the battleship that had been infected by the power of Slaanesh, with crooked eyes and bubbles coming out of their mouths and noses - in theory, these superhuman warriors should always be vigilant, but, under the 'earnest guidance' of the God of Pleasure, the Astartes of the Angels of Bliss have forgotten all that can be called good qualities, and only the pursuit of perfection is left.
The pursuit of perfection anytime, anywhere.
“Hoo—ha—!”
Just as the captain of the Asta Special Operations Team continued to inject drugs into his body and enjoy the dizzy pleasure, an intense psychic stimulation that could not provide him with any pleasure suddenly hit his nerves, causing him to move involuntarily. This movement caused him to crush a tube hanging on his body and also made him slightly sober.
"Ah-ah-the waste-the waste-I could have--"
However, although his sanity returned to reality, the body of this Chaos Astartes was still calling for pleasure and enjoyment. He smacked his twisted and deformed lips, moved his body a little, and tried to stretch out his severely mutated tongue to lick the chemical juice flowing on the ground.
