Chapter Seventy-Eight: Appointed as the Military Lord of the Gunderwa Sub-Star Region, Alan Bair Returns to Skadi

The Emperor's light is not something that can be bought by piety, and the man who is truly bathed in its luster thinks and acts far beyond the complicated dogmas and tedious prayers, and he is not unwilling to see and bless all his followers, but the vast universe in which only the most capable and faithful should be sheltered.

If he is still walking in the worlds, he can naturally lead mankind, and nature is also capable of turning the tide, but now, the emperor can only try his best to guide mankind, and this dark universe is so grotesque that human beings have to walk through on their own.

But heroes, soldiers, and courage have proven time and time again that those things in this dark universe are not invincible, Huron's battleship forced its way into the subspace at the fastest speed within a few minutes of the blow to the hull after the Void Shield was overloaded, and without a stable node like the Mandeville Point, even a Chaos traitor could not endure the chaos and chaos of the subspace.

A large number of Chaos psionics blasted their heads in order to tear open the rifts that could infiltrate the subspace, and the Doom was nowhere to be found behind the grotesque purple light, but it is believed that the legendary Red Pirates will not die, and after this battle, those traitors will definitely be even more terrifying when they return to the physical universe.

The 4th Infantry Regiment of Skady has won, the world has won, the Imperial Navy has won, and the news has spread like locusts crossing the whole world, and many of the cities that had been established before were returned to the Empire because of this event.

But humans are also stupid, Alan Bair watched the frowning news from the Karui City Command. "Three large nests, about six or seven billion people choose... Independent? ”

"They have to pay the eleven tax to the empire themselves? And build your own production line, out of our planning? ”

All three nests are rare mineral bases in this world, and leaving any of them means a decrease in the output of Karui City, as well as a decrease in the production capacity of this world.

Overcapacity does not exist in this dark 40,000 years, a single world simply cannot supply thousands of hundreds of millions of Imperial Guards to consume, and those three cities that are not long-sighted are even more stupid, thinking that the Imperial Guard will be destroyed by those traitors, and want to protect themselves independently, they don't really think that the chaos traitors will give them a chance to survive?

"Ahh Let the lieutenant general see the smile, this is all my mismanagement, and it has nothing to do with the lieutenant colonel, as the governor of the planet, I have let the PDF and the legal department go, two standard Terra years, you can get those cities back. "Governor John Dern has not forgotten to excuse his boss, he does not want such a stupid thing to affect a trace of Alan Bair's career in the Astral Army.

Lieutenant General Mr. Katowice wiped the eagle emblem on his chest. "I know that the 4th Infantry Regiment of Skadi has far exceeded my imagination, and the city of Karui is even more orderly under the siege of chaos, and my flagship Bulldog transport aircraft can still be used, there are no good vehicles in this world, use them."

"Three months, I want you to take back those cities in three months, so that we can celebrate the honor and recognition from the Ministry of Military Affairs next."

"Just now, the news that we have repelled the Red Pirates has been reported, and there is no doubt that the Fourth Regiment of Skadi will have an honor for you, and I expect them to get you a Terra Star badge."

Alan Bair sighed and looked at the strategic map of this world. "I think compared to the badge, can the lieutenant general send a few more sentinels, Chimera..."

The lieutenant general coughed. "There are many worlds in the empire, many legions, can Your Excellency the Lieutenant Colonel donate a few deflagration assault guns?"

Lieutenant Colonel Alan Bair coughed. "Ahem, my lord, I already know that my heart is for the empire, if other worlds need deflagration weapons, I will definitely donate them, but when will the sentinels arrive?"

said the lieutenant general. "Pay attention to the wording, Lieutenant Colonel, but this donation will not go to the Military Affairs Department, but my armored regiment, how about three sentries for 200 handles?"

Alan Bair replied. "130 handles, is it a cabbage when a deflagration weapon?"

Lieutenant General Cato scolded. "Are you a cabbage when you are a sentinel of the Empire? And what's that cabbage? A specialty of Skadi? ”

Alan Bair replied. "It's a Gutera specialty, I saw it in my book."

Lieutenant General back. "Very well, keep reading, soldier, 157 handles, three sentinels, okay?"

Alan Bair said. "I don't want a training manual, I want your driver to teach you by hand."

The lieutenant general touched his head. "The God Emperor is above, you are really condescending to be a star army, okay, three sentries and half a year of driving training, find the person in your group who is the best at calming the soul to report to me."

Alan Bair performed the Aquila salute. "The Emperor is above, may the light shine on you forever." Then run away.

Lieutenant General Cato turned to Governor John Denn. "Is this how your former chief usually is?"

John Deen replied. "Your Excellency, you must know that the use of infantry to kill orc war engines and space marines vehicles relies on soldiers to shoot at close range with hot melt, and although the God Emperor has blessed them, they still suffer heavy losses."

"Sentinel mechs can not only be paired with fragmentation missiles, but also can use armor-piercing AP missiles, under the limitations of the Empire's astral army tactics and regimental level, any long-range armor-piercing ability is rare for us."

"Boss, he has never been greedy for money, he just hopes that loyal people, his team members, family, and friends, can die less."

"Karui City can already produce deflagration guns, how about I deliver those weapons and related ammunition in half a year?"

This proposal is very opportunistic, because the deflagration weapon of the Fourth Regiment of Skadi is the original product of the Dark Ages, although STC can make Karui City completely reproduced, but the industrial foundation of Karui City is only at the level of creating food and laser guns, which is naturally not as good as the original.

The lieutenant general took a sip of his own tea. "For the Emperor's sake, I agree."

"I'll be stationed here during this time, don't cut corners for me."

John Deen bowed and saluted with aristocratic etiquette. "Thank you, sir."

When the Imperial Guard officer left, John Deen breathed a sigh of relief, he was talking to an existence much stronger than himself, and if the other side was unhappy, he could use the cannon to cleanse the world.

Being a planetary governor does not represent strength, and he is extremely powerless in the face of any void power, but he is not a soft persimmon, and not everything can touch his interests.

John picked up the communicator. "The Emperor is above, all the PDF and the bailiffs of the Ministry of Justice, listen to the order, D35577 of our world, and D233451, A345582 the rebellion of the three nest cities, now go to Starport, get the logging guns, explosive bombs, beams, commanders remember to bring explosive weapons, all take the Imperial Navy transport, and clean things up in three months."

Thirty minutes later, several transport ships flew out of Starport, those large iron boxes stored the world's deadliest troops, and an hour later, outside the wilderness of D35577, the rebellious mining nest capital, thousands of heavily armed PDFs walked down from the dense forest, except for the blue equipment representing the nobility, bulletproof armor, laser guns, and even hot-melt grenades on their waists, the equipment was better than the average Astral Army infantry regiment.

Ten hours later, the walls of the nest were blown open by hot melt grenades, and those weapons that had been decommissioned from the orc war were simply killing for ordinary PDFs, and the battle loss ratio of the soldiers in Karui City was as high as 1/7.

Two months and seventeen days later, the nest announced its surrender, and three days later, the other two cities surrendered one after another, if John Deen had stabilized Karui City with his own resolute means, now he had truly gained the whole world.

The Planetary Governor's iron-fisted methods have impressed everyone, and physically they have defeated 100,000 people in the three nests, a total of 790,000 heavily armed soldiers, and countless gangsters.

After beheading those damned rebel nobles, the world finally ushered in at least a hundred years of peace.

At the same time, the reward for the war hero Alan Byr also arrived as promised after the return of the PDF, and the Sector War Department decided to give him the overall command of the Skadi War Astral Legacy, as well as three Terra Star badges for the staff officer, Alan Byr, John Dern (Specialty) Planetary Governor.

The hymn (figurative, but long) that is long enough to wake up after eight hours of sleep makes Alan Baier realize that there are so many words in human beings, and that High Gothic is such a surprise!

Now in the Star Harbor, the highest point in the city of Karui, Lieutenant General Cato, who represents the Military Affairs Department, pinned the badge of honor woven with the golden eagle emblem to the chests of the three people, and the light of the emperor shone brightly.

Lieutenant General Cato said. "Congratulations, Lieutenant Colonel, you are already the commander-in-chief of a world, and I still haven't forgotten the first time we met, you are still a lieutenant."

"It seems that I give you a military rank every time, but I feel that in a few decades, you may have given me a rank."

In this era, human beings can continue life through various means, and the technology of artificial organs is mature enough to allow you to go from near death to killing all sides on the battlefield, but ordinary soldiers will not use it, because their lives are not as valuable as that organ.

But the lieutenant general's words were still too aggressive, and Alan Baier retorted. "How is it possible, this universe is so big, the void is endless, how many wars do I have to go through to be afraid of your position, if such a thing really happens, I will not be happy, because there are many loyal soldiers leaving this world."

"If the emperor really bless me, I should be retiring, not promoted."

The lieutenant general laughed. "You really can't call a spade a spade, be careful to send people to the punishment boat."

Alan Bair replied. "It's all your own people here, why can't you speak freely, your lord, you know best, this void is huge, there are so many worlds, and there are all kinds of astral armies, except for the same emperor, there is even a cultural gap of 10,000 years, and a physiological gap of tens of thousands of light years."

"Maybe the people from the world next door will have to be sent to the rescue when they come here to eat the special nuts, and what I just said is the "local language" of my hometown! ”

"Fellow non-commissioned officers, ensigns, you are all Cadiz, am I right?"

The soldiers of the 4th Infantry Regiment of Cadiz nodded their heads repeatedly. "That's right, the chief speaks the vernacular of our nest capital, but it just sounds like a round word."

The staff officer and John couldn't help but smile, it was the first time they had seen someone who was so rude to their superiors, after all, most of the people of the empire were quite obedient to power.

The lieutenant general raised his eyebrows and pursed his lips. "In the future, it will probably be unlucky for that department to have something to do with you, you are so articulate and smart, and you are in a high position, if you are an enemy of the empire, I will shoot you first."

"But remember, there are many heretical aliens in this huge void, and fate will make you need to be vigilant all the time, whether you will fall into the whirlpool of war."

"At this moment, no matter what, what happens, you need to remember first, find cover as soon as possible, the officer is dead, and there will be chaos below."

Alan Baier asked. "Isn't this something that a lieutenant general-level officer should say at the ceremony?"

The lieutenant general replied. "This is my native language!"

"Now, the ceremonial team will listen to the order and walk with each step, and the holy bell of the church will also resound!"

Thousands of ceremonial soldiers dressed in luxurious dresses armed with imported advanced products from the feudal world, smoothbore guns, walked neatly like the old guards of Guterra, escorting the three heroes forward, and were worshipped by all the people in the city of Kalu.

The light of the God Emperor seemed to have become brighter in this world, and the conveyor belts in the factory and the speed of production had accelerated a lot.

Everyone let go of their fatigue and pain, and looked up at the few rays of light in this dark world, the light from the Astral Army.

The ceremony was over, time was rushing, the city of Cartoo was back to its original form, people were working, resting, working, working, working, working again, the taverns reopened, the shops plumped up, and the good and the bad were appearing under the command of John Denn.

The good thing is that most of this world is completely ruled by humans, and the bad thing is that any smart person can see that if John dies, this world will instantly become a warring state, and the major nests will be unable to communicate due to the magnetic field and the contradictions between commercial and trade issues.

The big nests oppress the small ones, and the problems between the nobles are even more complicated, but they are all afraid of John Denn's resoluteness and iron fist, as a former Astral Army, your family will never exist again if he smashes it.

And today, such a great man actually stopped in Starport, very early in the morning when the workers had not yet left work and the slaves were constantly working.

Not only that, the former female noblewoman of the Astral Army, who has left this world all the year round, and the beautiful non-commissioned officer with brown hair also arrived in a gorgeous costume, she looked fair-skinned and gloomy.

And the local PDF, as well as those nobles with names and surnames, all arrived in Star Harbor in advance, if you want to say what characteristics they have, it is probably ...

They fought in the Greenskins' siege of Karui City.

With several transport planes stuck in the harbor, John looked at the weapons of war, and his heart admired and envied the soldiers in them, and he wanted to die on the battlefield more than to be a nobleman.

But he and his wife already have children, and he is not the man who joined the army with nothing.

And when the protagonist of this incident, the 4th Infantry Regiment of Skady, arrived, several Chimera, Sentinels, and uniformed soldiers, almost ten of them with a burst assault gun, as well as staff officers, ensigns, and mechanical priests, who surrounded Lieutenant Colonel Alan Baier and walked into the transport plane.

All the nobles were silent, they had changed greatly, only this group was still the same as it had been in that victory, but no matter how much they thought of their present lives and their values, whether they were hostile or not, they had great respect for the commander.

Alan Baier waved his hand, and he didn't say a word, because he was afraid that he would not be able to give up this garden world, and if he could, he wanted to retire for the rest of his life, but he needed to go to Skady to be reinstated.

The old friends watched their commander step into the transport plane, the transport plane left the atmosphere, and the naked eye could only see the confused shadow of the Bordero in low earth orbit, until the battleship left the atmosphere, and the shadow could not be seen clearly, and those nobles slowly left.

And the last man to leave, the Planetary Governor, with his last honor, dignity, saluted the Aquila salute in the direction of the battleship.

On the bridge, the captain asked Lieutenant Commander Alan Bair. "Don't you like the decision of the Ministry of War?"

Alan Bair replied. "We all know that the Ministry of War is useless, stupid, huge, bureaucratic, but I'm still a soldier, and maybe it's not good to stay in one place, and one day bad luck will find you."

The captain nodded. "I like your opinion, by the way, hold on, we're going to enter the subspace."

Alan Bair looked at the instruments on the bridge, the navigator activated the Geller position with psionic energy, everything outside the ship could no longer be seen clearly, and after a slight tremble, they came to subspace.

But sailing was more boring than he remembered, and even though he was now in a high position and could move around, the ship was still narrow, with only the soldiers wiping the deck walking around and maintaining the hull.

He and his staff officers played cards in a boring way, and their soldiers could only stay in their rooms because of their permission.

The captain was attentive, wary of any fluctuations in the subspace, of course he didn't know what a demon was, in his eyes, the subspace was equivalent to an undercurrent in the ocean, and he could drift far away with it, but it could also be silent.

The Mandeville point on this road has always been stable, and you shouldn't go wrong...

He knew that he should let his guard down, that long-term focus would be exhausting, and that when something really scary happened, he would be caught off guard.

Geller's stance completely obscured all the instruments, detections, or whatever, and in today's situation, only psionics could feel the slightest ripple in subspace, as if they were in the middle of the waves.

After the captain stepped down from the command point, the first mate took over, and Alan Baier couldn't help but sigh that every aspect of human navigation is really the same, and even the naval officers and sailors who wiped the deck are still there, but now the first class is to maintain the interior of the ship, after all, it is not necessarily good if there is a problem in this almost three-kilometer-long battleship.

Alan Baier felt that his thoughts were too chaotic, and he turned his mind into the game, and the staff officer was already too far ahead of him.

"Do you want to use this hand to make money when you retire in the future?"

The staff officer shook his head. "I'm not a gambler, and never will."

Alan Bair said. "Then you give me back the steak in my lunch, don't you gamble?"

The staff officer was strong. "It's not interesting to play cards without pressing something, gambling must be costly, and I didn't take your throne coins or anything~"

Alan Baier can't wait to give this guy a slap, but when it comes to playing cards, you have to endure it if you are not as good as others, but although he is not good at the fourth row, he will not lose from candy to meat chops...

He underestimated it, felt depressed, and then played the cards. "Don't fight, I'm running out of lunch!"

The staff officer pulled those chips down in front of him. "Don't regret this thing, it's all mine."

Alan Bair said. "Be careful."

The staff officer replied. "I keep exercising."

But as the two men spoke, a violent tremor of the ship appeared, and the staff officer accidentally fell from his chair, and Alan Baier held the fixed seat to stabilize his body.

"Oh my God!" He looked up and saw that the staff officer threw out 12 aces and 4 kings when he fell...

"You!"

The staff officer immediately put away the playing cards, his face was not red and his heart was not beating. "Lunch is distributed as normal."

Just before the lieutenant colonel raised his fist, the navigator suddenly shouted. "Intense subspace storm! The Emperor is above! ”

"Ahh I feel it... I felt it, the light of the emperor could not hide it, my soul, my body... O gods! The Star Whisperer shouted strange words.

The heads of the two psionics burst open, turning into a cloud of blood mist...

The electronic devices began to flicker constantly, and the display screen was emerging, at first it was still patterned, and then it turned into a distorted human face, so how could the old-school display of the empire use stripes to make such a picture?

The captain immediately walked to the command point. "First mate, what's the situation?"

The body of the first mate at this moment is like that... Chaos Eggs? Distorted, mutated, just much smaller than the real thing, the uniform of the Imperial Navy has also become grotesque and swollen due to the mutation that contaminates a lot of juice.

"Ah, sir, I'm not feeling well..."

Alan Baier drew his spear, and the Dark Age Relic pistol instantly shattered the twisted body, and the captain shouted. "First mate!"

But one could only watch as the command post was strangely wet with bodily fluids, and the other soldiers who were looking at the instruments were gradually twisted, their joints bent abnormally.

", Captain, your ship has just been repaired, you're really black (unlucky)!" Alan Baier complained and fired, and the staff officer took out a pitch-black explosive bomb and cut them out one by one...

The Geller Stand Generator on the bridge was trembling, the pistons and engines were screaming, the "bubbles" outside the window were visibly fading, and the terrible subspace whispers echoed in Alan Bair's ears.

He couldn't hear clearly, he couldn't understand it, it wasn't human language or Gothic or Orc, Old Terra, English, or whatever, but utterly crazy whispering.

This terrible voice is neither male nor female, without character traits, like a naturally generated wind, but it is broken in your ears all the time!

"Holy!" Alan Bair jerked over to the bridge's communications equipment, turned on the button, and shouted. "All staff, now that our Geller position is collapsing, anything you see next, dead loved ones, crazy monsters, stay calm and give priority to reciting the emperor's hymn!"

"In any case, don't fire at anything! And don't believe any words, dead comrades, loved ones, or what..."

Why is Alan Bair so sure? Because he saw that the female lieutenant he had met in the first month of his service was beside him, he said affirmatively.

"You've grown, little one."

"Will you shoot?"

"I think you look like you're delicious..."Her cheeks gradually distorted, turning into the hideous and terrifying face of the orcs, if it weren't for the fact that she knew it was a hallucination, Alan Baier really wanted to collapse...

He knew exactly what subspace was all about, and he could only watch Geller's position fade and mutter. "God Emperor, I may be going to die... Although death may be the best end. ”

I actually wrote 6,000 words ()
