The warband fleet is on its way home.

Having solved the privacy problem of the captain in charge, Aoyama Khan began to officially take stock of the harvest of this battle.

Not to mention the large number of industrial raw materials, among which the batch of pure gold ore is the most valuable. The Iron Floating Slaughter Regimental continues its excellent style, all the Titans killed by the "Broken Army Golden Armor", no matter how big or small, the wreckage of the body is all dismantled and packed away, even if the design structure of these Titans Xiao Fei can no longer look at it, but it is also a lot of wealth to remove the skeleton and armor shell forged by pure gold and recast it.

Adamantite is the most outstanding natural metal in the Warhammer 40k universe, with very high strength, hardness, plasticity, and toughness. It is rare to have a metal material that can do the four major indicators, and none of the shortcomings are prominent. For example, synthetic metal ceramic steel has high strength and hardness, but poor toughness and plasticity. Unless extremely energy-dense hot melt and plasma are used, Adamantite armor can only be torn apart by Adamantite weapons.

In contrast, Adamantite is particularly expensive.

In the entire human empire, only a limited number of mining worlds have veins of pure gold that can produce pure gold.

In addition to industrial raw materials, there is also valuable STC.

The Stc of the Vulture Intelligent Control Soldier is already in the bag.

After some research, Fu Qinghai also figured out the specific production uses of several other STCs.

The four types of STC are:

1. Kraken raids the claw airborne capsule.

2. Sikaran Battle Tank.

3. Kratos assault tank.

4. Space Marine's landing craft.

The harvest is full, and the Khan is happy.

Among them, Fu Qinghai's favorite is the Kraken Raid Claw Airborne Cabin, as we all know, ordinary airborne cabins are disposable, and they cannot be recycled immediately after smashing, but some special models can. The Kraken Raid Claw Airborne Module is a special type of airborne capsule that can be recycled, which can not only be recycled, but also has more transportation space, and the missile launchers and hot melt cutters on the bulkhead can also cover the selected landing area with a wave of firepower in advance. In addition, the Kraken Raid Claw Airborne Module can be used for orbital airborne landing and can also be used for naval jumping, which is completely enough to replace the jumper torpedo.

The Kraken Raid Claw Airborne Module was only developed at the end of the Great Expedition, and according to the consistent urine nature of the war commander, it was naturally prioritized for the traitor legion. By the time of 41k, due to the loss of technology, the Astarte Warband was useless, and only the Chaos Space Marines still had a weakened version of the Kraken Raid Claw Airborne Module, the Dreadclaw Airborne Module. Although the Dread Claw also has a recovery function and can also be used for naval combat jumpers, but the space, armor and firepower cannot be compared with the Kraken Raid Claw, and there are obvious similarities in the appearance of these two types of airborne capsules.

At least for the Imperial camp.

The Kraken Raid Claw Airborne Module is unique.

The latter two Astarte armored forces special tanks, put in the 41k era, are out-and-out sacred relics, but there are still some differences between the two tanks.

The Sikaran Battle Tank was born at the end of the Great Expedition, which was jointly developed by Fernus Manus, Robert Kiliman and the Cult of the Mechanica, and the main battle tank was jointly created.

Kratos Assault Tank was born in the early days of the Great Expedition and is the main battle tank that has been replaced by the Predator tank, and the reason why the Predator tank replaces the Kratos assault tank is the same as the reason why the Thunderhawk gunboat replaces the Stormbird gunboat - although the former has weaker firepower, thinner armor, and smaller size, the former is cheaper, and it is more cost-effective to make small tanks and small gunboats in a comprehensive calculation, so the former replaces the latter.

The Sikaran Battle Tanks are relics for the Astarte Warband in the Stasis Arena. The Kratos assault tank was eliminated because it was not very cost-effective.

The Human Empire can still build Kratos assault tanks, but the Astarte Regiments are no longer Astarte Legions, no longer serving as the main attack mission on the frontal battlefield, but have become elite special infiltration forces, and there is no financial or need to continue to use this kind of frontal assault main battle tank with thick armor, strong firepower, and high cost - for a Space Marine, the latter reason may be more unacceptable than the loss of technology.

If you compare the firepower alone, the order of tanks in the Space Marine armor sequence should be: Machete> Flying Blade> Sikaran> Kratos> Predator. The Scimitar and Flying Blade, as well as their various variants, are all super heavy tanks, and they are a little stronger than the next three in the main battle tank. As for Sparta and mastodons, they are called "tanks", but they are actually armored personnel carriers, so they do not participate in the comparison between tanks.

The last one, the Space Marines landing craft, is a more versatile cross-orbital lander. The only difference is that the former is larger and longer, and can carry six main battle tanks or six armored personnel carriers to and from the track and surface at a time, while the Thunderhawk gunboat can only carry one armored vehicle at a time. It is more efficient to deploy armored units using Starmarines landing craft, nothing more.

Some of the four standard construction templates are unique, some are rare and rare, some have been eliminated, and some are more common. But for the Phaeton casting world, there is nothing to pick, but anyone who is an STC welcomes it with both hands.

The Iron Float Warband came to the Iron Ring Belt this time, bringing with them nine Imperial transports, and not only that, but also capturing five transports belonging to the Cult of the Dark Mechanics. Fourteen transport ships, constantly going back and forth between the surface and orbit, scraping three feet to the ground, finally transported all the supplies into space.

There was also a hiccup in the meantime.

The planetary governor who escaped has been arrested and detained by order of Generalissimo Huxrow, and the planetary governor's family, accompanied by the political commissar of the Imperial Guard, took a shuttle to the cruiser, passing by the landing site, the planetary governor pointed to the clean empty space and asked the political commissar suspiciously:

"There was a war here?"

Several commissars were speechless.

They are just commissars of the Guard, not chaplains of warbands.

They have no right to interfere with the actions of the Iron Float Regiment.

The remains of the traitor Titan can be rebuilt, and even the corpse of the old black oil has been collected and taken away. Aoyama Khan believes that if the data storage elements in the old corpse of black engine oil are removed for analysis and reading, there may be new discoveries.

This is similar to the dealer who sells bulk USB disks under the flyover, not the USB disk, but a blind box, who knows what is in the USB disk, prison design drawings or more than 100g learning materials? Strive to extract the last bit of value.

Based on this principle, the two battlefields outside the city of Chaodu are as if they have been licked, and they are very clean.

It's all outrageously clean.

…………

The mighty warband fleet sailed through the void.

Prepare to return to the world of Atal Median Foundry.

The Iron Floating Slaughter Regiment captured a large number of transport ships and cruisers this time, and the number of crew members was a bit stretched, so many crew members were drawn from various warships to barely let the fleet sail.

Fortunately, the Mechanics ships are characterized by a small number of mortal crews. For example, the Goliath-class factory ship and the Goliath-class foundry ship brought by Master Quintor from Mars, the former is the size of a battleship and the latter is the size of a cruiser, but the number of crew members is only a few thousand and a few hundred respectively, and the rest of the posts use a lot of servants, slaves, and automatic equipment.

If we compare the degree of automation of the ships of the major powers of the Human Empire, then it is probably as follows:

The Cult of the Mechanics> Space Marines > Imperial Navy.

The Cult of the Mechanics dislikes uncontrollable human crews and prefers stiff and rigid servants. Space Marines often use machine servants simply because of their small numbers, after all, warband minions are also valuable and are potential candidates for recruitment.

The Imperial Navy is the most exaggerated, with tens of thousands of crew members in a small ship, and the degree of automation is very low. The reasons are more complex, both in terms of protection against the enemy's electronic attacks, as well as in some factors of the Imperial Navy itself: the engine family, the torpedo family, the artillery family inside the naval warship...... The formation of a bunch of technology monopoly groups with intertwined interests, entrenched in the corresponding compartments for generations to reproduce, makes it difficult for the Navy to promote the iteration of warship technology.

The Imperial Navy was a large and conservative force.

There are a lot of internal rules and regulations.

In sci-fi IPs like Halo, Dune, and Star Wars, hundreds of people can control a giant spaceship, and the Human Empire can't do it, and the Mechanics Cult can do it, but they haven't done it for various reasons.

……

After the Iron Float fleet jumped out of subspace, a transport cruiser was separated and entered the system alone, while the rest of the fleet re-entered subspace to continue their voyage.

The world of the knights of Orestes.

The transport cruiser hovered over orbit.

On the boarding deck, the huge cross-orbital landers were neatly arranged, these were all landing devices specially designed to transport the knight mech, and now the inside was empty, and none of the Draconis family survived the knight mech.

Zofia, Janico, and a tall Space Marine in a black-gold powered armor stood side by side, silently waiting for the cross-orbital lander to start activating.

The Space Marine's face was serious and even bitter, and his bald head was covered with dense black prayers. His helmet is held in his hand, his visor is in the shape of a skull, and his other holds a power scepter that ends in metal adorned with spikes, skulls, and eagle wings. If you are familiar with the Space Marine, you will know that this helmet, this weapon, is the Warband Priest logo. The warrior also had a personal coat of arms on his shoulder armor - a golden embossing that opened the book.

The Iron Float Warband's recluse is slender, Tristan.

"Captain Zofia, Janikov."

Tristan opened his mouth to break the silence:

"The Khan sent me here this time to take away everything that the Draconis family is worth taking, and this act itself is not authorized by Mars or Terra, so we need to act as soon as possible and end it as soon as possible. I also know that Orestes is where the Draconis family has lived and multiplied for generations, and you have a great bond with this land, but I hope you will be willing to break this bond, ma'am, there is a brighter future for you in the world of Phaeton. ”

Zofia shrugged and didn't speak.

She didn't care, originally the biggest bond between her and this knight family was her mother, and the others didn't know each other. Moreover, Zofia and Tristan are both reincarnated, and the two have passed the gas in private, so they must move quickly.

"I understand, sir."

The Janikov nodded:

"I grew up in Oristes, and this land is not just my hometown, it's a sad place for me, and I don't want to see anything that brings back memories. Away from here, the family can be reborn. ”

"If only you could understand."

Tristan nodded approvingly.

The civil war and conflict in the world of knights continues, and the sage of the ruler forcibly evacuates a loyal knight family, which leads to further instability in the region, and the fleet of the Dark Mechanical God is constantly visiting the area, encouraged by the rebellion and rebellion of mutants and cultists, and other knight families are trying to suppress the rebellion and maintain local order.

But this is not the task of the Iron Float Regiment.

They just took the remnants along the way.

……

Fief of the Dracones family.

The familiar ebony fortress towers over the top of the mountain.

The cross-orbital lander landed on the fortress platform.

It was already crowded with people, and the women and children of the Draconis family were looking forward to it, women holding bouquets of flowers and children waving clockwork knight toys. They waited with anticipation to see the castle lord knight lead the knight of the clan out with their heads held high. They speculated that, as usual, the Imperial Knights' armor was strewn with blood and scorched bullet marks, but their banners were still bright, and their guns hung with loot and memorabilia captured from the enemy......

The hatch slowly opened.

A team of space marines wearing black and gold power armor escorted two women, one tall and one short, with guns.

The look in the female roll's eyes.

Slowly changed from anticipation to shock.

Not a single knight mech came out.

The cross-orbital lander was empty inside.

Jia ...... Giannico, what's going on? ”

An old woman threw herself in front of the chief knight, clutching the gilded cuffs of the chief knight's uniform tightly with both hands, staring at the woman in front of her with her eyes wide open, and asked in a trembling voice:

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Janico closed her eyes and shook her head in pain.

The old woman understood at once, and she sat down on the ground with a dull and gray expression. The people around also knew what was going on, and the guess in their hearts became reality, and suddenly it was as if the sky had fallen, and the family girl looked at the empty hatch blankly, some people covered their mouths and sobbed, and some people slowly collapsed to the ground.

Some children who don't know what to do, seeing their mothers like this, also raised their heads and cried with "wah, wow, wow". There were also pregnant women holding their bellies and babies waiting to be fed in the crowd, and the whole platform was in chaos.

"Ugh."

Although he had expected this scene, the chief pastor couldn't help but sigh.

Tristan suddenly remembered a conversation he had with Aoyama Khan not long ago.

The two were having dinner in the dining room, and during the conversation about the state religion of the empire, the khan said:

"As far as I know, the State Church is expanding its sphere of influence in the Sun Star Domain, and has already received Tyra's tacit consent, perhaps in the near future, the State Church Priest will come to the Misty Star Field, to the Marquez King Zone, as the Chief Priest of the Warband, you have to be prepared for how to deal with them."

"What kind of force is the Imperial State Church?"

The hermit slender humbly asked the battle leader for advice.

The battle leader put down the spoon and thought for a while:

"The state religion has done many evils in its life, but I have to admit that they have indeed done some good deeds, and these measures are very helpful to the empire."

"For example?"

"For example, the establishment of the Loyal Heir Academy."

…………

The world of the knights of Orestes.

A city three hundred kilometers from the Ebony Fortress.

The city has been war-torn and most of the city has been reduced to rubble. At this time, night fell, in the gaps of the collapsed buildings, in the holes buried in the wall panels, the firelight flickered, and the figures were numerous, and there were wild laughter, tearing, and roaring...... It's as if the demons are dancing wildly, the order has disappeared, and only chaos has descended.

Inside a large depression pit.

There is a pile of construction debris all around.

Two topless people, fighting hard in the pit, they are covered in blood and sweat, you punch me and kick me, there are no rules in this fight, the real "unlimited fighting", teeth tearing and tearing fingers, nails digging into eardrums and eyeballs. They don't look like people at all, more like two wild dogs.

Change source app, view the latest chapters of the book on multiple sites at the same time. 】

The pit was full of people.

They wielded knives, guns and torches in their hands, roared loudly, cheered for their bettors, and cursed their opponents loudly, spitting and swearing.

A tall figure in a cloak and hood, hurrying along with his head down, passed by the large hollow pit, and turned his head to look, the light of the fire illuminating his face along the edge of the hood. It was a strange face, with a broad forehead and no anger and self-esteem, but there were no holes in the eyes, only a white membrane, a dark blue complexion, four fleshy tentacles of different thicknesses hanging around the cheeks, each with a golden ring on it as a decoration, and a raised frontal bone on the forehead around the eyebrow bone. Just looking at this face, he is not a human being.

The mysterious passerby was wearing a brown and black cloak, but it still couldn't hide his tall and burly figure, strong shoulders, and bulging chest muscles, which was not easy to mess with.

At the edge of the pit, someone set up an oven to grill food, and the mysterious passer-by twitched his nose, stopped and looked up, it was a Chaos believer with horns on his head, flipping the grill in one hand, holding an iron stick in the other, and a rough iron rod cut from steel bars...... Dressed as a baby corpse.

The mysterious passer-by frowned.

A look of disgust flashed in his eyes.

But he took a deep breath, ignored it, and forced himself to turn his head and walk briskly out of the place.

He scurried through the ruins of the city, burrowed into a sewer, turned through an arched door, and came to a secret camp hidden deep in the ruins of the city. As soon as he arrived here, a tall figure next to him rushed towards him, and the mysterious passerby hurriedly raised his hand to support the other party, and then asked:

"What's wrong, Liv, reckless?"

"Brother, you made a move some time ago, right?"

"Yes."

The mysterious passer-by lifts his hood to reveal his face.

There is a pair of curved horns on the top of the head.

It's a Deleni.

Standing in front of him was Olivia Crofts, the Lady Mage of the Zero Guild.

"Didn't I tell you, don't take it lightly, the fluctuations of magic will attract the attention of that person, and we haven't found the main thread of the plot line event yet......"

Olivia said eagerly.

"But I had to."

The male Deleni said with a little annoyance:

"I met a gang of Chaos Believers on the outskirts of the city, and they intercepted me. I did what you taught me, saying that I was a believer in the Demon Lord of All Changes, and then I lifted my hood and showed them my face, but they became even more angry, and they took up arms and were about to cut me, so I had to kill them. ”

"Uh......"

Olivia was slightly stunned and asked:

"What do they look like?"

"It's ugly, their faces are red, their eyes are red, and there are spikes on the top of their heads, but they're very strong, far more than normal humans...... Oh yes, they all wore a brass collar around their necks. ”

Brass collar ......

Olivia covered her face:

"Alas, that's a terrorist believer, you say you believe in the Demon Lord of All Changes, they will definitely kill you."

"So what should I do?"

The male Deleni people had no choice but to spread their hands.

"What magic did you use?"

Olivia then asked.

"Firestorm, and Scorching Touch."

The male Deleni said in a cold voice:

"I've killed the entire Chaos Gang to prevent future troubles, and I'm pretty sure none of them won't survive."

"You're making too much noise."

Olivia shook her head:

"I've heard it all here. Now the gang of Chaos believers in the whole city is looking for you, and everyone is rumoring that there is a very powerful illegal psyker in the city, and if this continues for a long time, we may all be exposed. ”

"Exposure is exposure, exposure is long overdue."

The male Deleni pouted and said:

"There are no points of interest in this city, when are we going to kill all the enemies and leave here?"

"Wait a little longer."

Olivia said in a deep voice:

"So far, we've only encountered a group of Chaos cultists, and the Space Marines, Imperial Knights, and the local Mechanicus cult have not made any moves, so I'll have to see where the power limit of this planet is, and then decide what to do next."

The male Deleni nodded:

"You have experience, and they all listen to you."
