Chapter 171: Genius Arya/Earthquake Cannon/Thank you, Great Emperor Huron
Led by Arya, the Imperial Guard arrived at that place, and unlike what Alan Bair had predicted, it was not a cathar barracks or a dangerous place, but a villa estate.
To be precise, it should be a rich man's villa, the location here is remote, and the terrain is complex, countless exotic flowers and plants are planted in the garden by servants, small machines are constantly spreading fertilizer and water, and it is also a villa that was purchased during this time, and he himself has only lived in it for a short time, but its luxury also makes Alan Baier have to evaluate, bastard.
How many people in this world can't ask for water, for a small amount, countless times of water circulating day and night, but the result is that it is actually used to water flowers...
Since this is no longer an enemy-occupied area, Alan Baier only brought Katachan and a few people who moved things and two civilian fuel vehicles, and this thousand-meter-old and well-supplied mansion did not disappoint him.
Magnificent imperial reliefs bearing inscriptions glorifying the master's story on the walls of their estates, pompous high Gothic to ensure that no ordinary person could understand them, and genetically modified special flowers transported from several imperial worlds were planted here in a colorful way, but now there was no other source of nourishment than the corpse of a gardener dressed in a butler's suit.
The poor man seemed to have been pierced by an automatic gun while working, and there were many servants on the huge roads of the manor.
The castle is Gothic-style, and the smaller version of the heat dissipation equipment used by the nest-like at the tip of the castle also indicates that there is an absolutely stable energy supply installed inside, and he has at least a nuclear reactor in his castle.
Alan Bair brushed the high gothic words and read them out without pressure. "Alexander. Hamil, the man who signed a contract with the emperor 10,000 years ago, was the lord of the merchant dynasty, and with a plunder license (Alan Baier's "affectionate name" for the merchant's license), he created thousands of properties here, and no idler could enter it..."
That being said, the gates of the adamantite manor had been melted away by the heat, and the servants inside had been mercilessly strafed by the Mechonia heretics, because there was no master to settle in and no defenses had been arranged, the beautiful marble walls had been pitted, the fence of the garden had been trampled by the Mechonia servants, and the traces of small tracks had spread to the ground.
"It's ironic, that's the name..."Alan Baier couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, after all, the name was still a bit interesting in Guterra.
And a little girl who was too precocious suddenly shouted in that clip sound. "It's amazing, the officer's brother can also read Gothic!"
Alan Baier only felt a tingling in his ear. "Enough, don't pretend, it's all hard-hearted butchers here, and I've killed more xenomorphs than you've ever seen."
"I heard the captain say something about you, son, children like you usually go to the Loyal Heir Academy, if I were you, I would have to thank the sage who adopted me, that place is not for people."
The chief of staff from the Loyal Heir Academy next to him coughed. "That, Commander, pay attention to the wording."
Alan Baier rubbed the tip of her nose, and the girl replied. "Yes, I do owe my father a debt of gratitude, but I haven't seen him since the war..."
"I was afraid of being orphaned again, and I was thinking that maybe I was acting like some innocent little angel, and that some loyal imperial officer or someone else would be kind to me, and I thought I would protect myself that way."
Alan Bair commented. "You're just covered in bedding and you can't do anything."
"Tell me how you know about this place?"
Arya gestured to the location next to the wall. "I recently moved to a new house near here, and then there is a dog cave there, I usually go there to play, and my father doesn't know because he is actually very strict with me."
"Of course, he's fine, but I'd like someone to tell him that for a little girl, a bedtime story shouldn't read the journal of some Imperial merchant captain, and I wonder if he's just reading that book for a long time."
"The first time I heard a green skin smash a person's face, and then pull out all his teeth, shouting, shrimp teeth for half green skin, shrimp grow slowly but for a long time, I didn't sleep all night."
"But the servants here are nice, like Crow, who is lying in the garden, will secretly take me to enjoy the embrace of those plants."
"Uncle butler who fell at the gate will secretly get me some pastries, and the beautiful maid lady in the front hall, Rika, will teach me how to sew."
"I lack my parents, but many people are still willing to help me, maybe there are too few children in this world, but you also know, Lieutenant Colonel, this is the world of mechanical teaching, and many people have a feeling of wanting to make me a puppet when they look at me."
"I know that feeling, it's... The way those Chaos Space Marines look at me—" She sank to the bottom of her heart, and the good thing about these people made her heart tingle again.
"At the beginning of the chaos I was still playing in the manor from my father, I went in, and then the servants came, and I was stuffed by the butler into the small room where the tools were stored, which was small, but I was a little stunted, tall and tall, but very thin, after all, there was no food in this world."
"I got into those things, clutter, weird lawnmowers or something, some places were sharp, my palms were broken, but I was still hiding, not making a sound, and I'm glad it wasn't a ranger or something, but a normal fighter servant, otherwise I would have been discovered." Her language didn't seem to be self-described, and Alan Baier really felt the feeling of reading some kind of old imperial fritter journal when he listened.
In particular, her comments on her body were poignant, but he didn't bother the girl, and Arya continued.
"Then I hid inside the mansion by the darkness of the night, I first went to the easiest place to find, it seemed to be a girl's room, a big bed, bigger than my previous home, and I also found those good things for the first time, such as the dress I was wearing, to be honest, this one is a bit big, but I think wearing this can make others think that I am a nobleman or something, and dare not act rashly."
"I think the owner of this house should have a beautiful daughter, in fact I lived here for about a week without a thorough investigation, it is full of corpses, and maybe there are servants hiding there."
"But the curiosity remained, and I immediately went to the top of the second floor, where I looked at the terrain and made sure that it was all right, and I began to look for a place like the cellar, because there was probably food there, but I only found enough food and water in the kitchen for a week, and wine that I couldn't drink, and that kind of thing would make me not sober enough."
"As for the cellar, I found it almost by smelling promethium, inside the second hall at the back of the hall, a long underground passage, lit with a small number of promethium lamps, the power here is almost independent, and those servants did not destroy the power supply, they only killed."
"And then I found those things, and here again I thank my adoptive father, who taught me how to distinguish the common weapons of the Human Empire, and I recognized this model by the huge uncomposed muzzles and four tracks, the movable muzzles of the Phaeton Pattern Earthshaker Platform, which can be pulled by the engine, and about 20 uncomposed high-explosive cannons in the ground about a few hundred meters in size."
Alan Bair interjected. "Enough to sweep a lot of things, the earth-shaking cannon has a caliber of 132 millimeters, can fire 38 kilograms of shells at 814 miles per hour, and has a range of more than 15 kilometers. Theoretically, at maximum range, the Earthshaker shells will reach the point of impact after 19 seconds, which is powerful enough to destroy the main battle tank. ”
"Why does a Rogue Trader need so many weapons?"
Arya replied. "I don't know, this mansion is too big, I didn't find the master bedroom, those earth-shaking cannons are the most valuable things I have seen."
Alan Baier nodded. "You're doing a good job, kid, if you're a little older, you can apply to join the group."
Arya said. "I want to live longer—" she looked at the countless corpses on the ground, she was so used to seeing death at a young age, the fragility of life, that she believed that anything, including her own, was weak.
Alan Baier also seemed to see through the girl, and said. "Your father is hard, I saw him twice, and only his head was left alive."
"Alright, Katachans, take the soldiers and get those things, Miss Arya, I salute you here, as an officer of the Imperial Guard, I have to admit the help you gave me in the war."
"Now, uh-huh—" Alan Bair pulled out a most beautiful gold artifact inlaid with a lion's heart from a large pile of useless badges on his chest, one of the countless rewards the Empire had given him after he defeated the cosmic shipwreck.
It's hard to imagine how many badges a commander can get in a war, and Alan Baier is almost breaking the record in this area, so much so that his chest is starting to be overwhelmed, that is, the badge material is more crotch-pulling, otherwise it must be stronger than the carapace armor, and there can also be a faith bonus.
He left the oppressive thing and handed it to the bravest, craziest girl he had ever seen.
Arya hesitated. "It's too precious."
Alan Bair just replied. "Compared to your help, it's worthless, take it, if you can't eat one day, sell it, in the eyes of fanatical collectors, the genuine Imperial Military Department badge can be sold for 1500 throne coins, which is equivalent to a month's salary of a professional priest in the mechanical sect casting world at level 15 civilization."
I understand it too well, Alan Baier understands it too well, when this sentence is said, Arya immediately couldn't help but take the badge, she knows very well that her good life now depends on her sage father, and she also understands that if she can't catch it, she will almost die on the street, like those good Samaritans.
"Thank you." She lowered her head, put the badge away, and walked into the sprawling place with the Skadi soldiers, but Alan Bair didn't follow them to get the cannons.
Although he is extremely concerned about heavy firepower, as the commander of the Imperial Guard, he must plan ahead for things that can threaten humanity.
Something was absolutely wrong with Mr. Alexander, his instincts were buzzing, and he walked into the castle and watched the Skadian walk into the basement while he chose to go upstairs to find the master bedroom.
Soon he felt that someone had money, and there was really no place to burn and play, even though he was an adult Imperial Guard officer with super physical strength, he had been walking in this damn place for a long time, but he couldn't see what looked like the master bedroom.
The castle is almost the size of a small city, and it is almost impossible to walk in a short time without means of transportation, and this short time is an hour.
What's more, the castle is not a very flat thing, it has 2-3-4-5-6 floors, and Alan Baier alone wants to find that room enough for him to spend the remaining half a month here attacking this world.
"No, no, no..."Alan Baier looked at the repetitive rooms, the doors that surrounded him like a curse and a labyrinth, which were neat and tidy but made him feel disorganized, who needed so many rooms?
"No..."Alan Baier suddenly realized his mistake, this place was not an important place in the Empire, and he didn't need to keep it as it was.
He pulled out his power scythe. "It's still necessary to deal with the capitalists..."He sighed that the times have changed, mankind has gone through 40,000 years, but the thing to deal with the rich is still a sickle, and there is still a hammer missing, and when he has time to ask Astarte for a Thor's hammer or something, but the ordinary war group probably won't borrow him, just look for the blood duck, their family has more holy relics, just have to look at the poison blade and Levannus in the group or something.
With a way to break the game, Alan Baier's thoughts and joy rose, he took out his weapon and slammed it against the wall, one room, two rooms, there is a dead end? Smash through! Don't like the room? Smash through!
There wasn't even much smoke and dust in the destroyed room, like the walls had been knocked off by an invisible eraser, like a game with a cheat, like a picture loading problem.
It was a feeling that fascinated Alan Bair, and he soon found the palatial bedroom, filled with antiques and jewelry, culture and gems that were probably the only things of value to humanity in this dark universe.
Special gems can generate electricity, can be used as weapon cores, and cultural products are one of the few pastimes in this universe.
Alan Baier grabbed a beautiful piece of cloud brocade silk and admired. "Tasteful, it's mine, and the bridge of the Poldro will be beautiful."
Then he began to rummage through the cabinets to find the bad deeds of this nobleman.
Soon he noticed that something was wrong, a roll of brown paper did not look like an ancient thing, but it was placed among antiques, he opened the file and soon saw the bytes that surprised him.
[Honorable Emperor, Emperor Huron, good day, please let me continue to serve you, I am grateful for the wealth and honor you have brought me. 】
Emperor!
