Chapter 365: An Empire in Danger
Let Dan, this ancient and terrible race, awaken too, even if the days of the empire are not short-lived, in the last hundred years of the end of the forty-thousand-year period, the orcs, the spirits, the traitors, the gods of the High Heavens, and the ancient aliens like Jean Dan, and even the ancient iron men or humans have accumulated the sins of the long history.
The apocalypse is just around the corner, the restlessness of the psykers, the appearance of demons, the revival of ancient aliens, everything means that the empire is burned by war, Pangia is like this, and the other star sectors are not the same?
Even the last bottom line of human reason and will, the Inquisition, was torn apart at the end of the fortieth millennium in such a twisted way, and the Inquisitor was also the most powerful son of Tianjiao in the Empire, and now turned into alien flesh and false things, this era, the darkness has come.
When the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guard, Alan Baier, stepped out of the ancient instruments of the Mechonia Cult, the humming and roaring giant once again confirmed his purity, and the so-called naked eye was cloudy, but the transistors were clearly calculated, and the inhuman-like biological sage under the red robe made the easy-to-understand gesture of nodding with the last trace of humanity, and the naked Alan Baier was allowed to wear the military uniform.
He drank the clear-colored liquid, which could help him alleviate the radiation emitted by the instruments, and then Sergeant Katachan arrived as his personal guard, and he apologized for such a sinister thing under his nose, and secondly, the relationship, whether the Imperial Guard's victorious core would suffer again.
He spoke. "Emperor forbid, at this moment, many evils are being revived, sir, this hundred years, the entire galaxy has changed more than in the previous thousand years......" his tone was quite worried, and Alan Baier just straightened his collar.
"That's why the emperor will bless you, now is the time of human life and death, how can this empire survive this hundred years and more sufferings in the wind and rain......" Alan Baier's words were rarely tired, as a young man whose energy seemed to be inexhaustible, he was also tired in the continuous pursuit of survival.
He said again. "What does the court do with the next people?"
The non-commissioned officer replied. "Valuable scanning, no, I think it's probably a direct kill, whether it's the existence of an alien like Jean Dan, or the fact that they are suspected of infection, those low-level acolytes are enough to sacrifice their life force for this."
What he said is direct and realistic, the acolytes who can know the existence of the Inquisition, a man like a wild snake can still survive, but most people don't know the actual existence of the Inquisition, even if there is little hope of escaping, they can't do it, under the hands of the Inquisition, whether it is the lower level of the nest or other worlds, as long as you know the secret, then you will definitely die.
But those lives were worthless to the Empire, and Alan Bair didn't quite understand that it was really useful to slaughter those poor people? But this is the foundation of this ancient empire for ten thousand years, and he is powerless to change it, at least at this moment, the Inquisition will not interfere with his transportation of the volcano cannon.
When Alan Bair came out of the room, one after another of his men came to see him, and one by one he accused them of dereliction of duty, but did not actually punish any of them, but accepted their gifts and the few good intentions that remained in their bodies.
But there was a special visitor among them, and after Alan Bair thought he had said goodbye to the last officer he knew, a strangely dressed Imperial Guard soldier approached and spoke in a familiar tone. "An outsider like me shouldn't have come so early, but the court is embarrassed now, I can't get in, I'm sorry, I'm dressed up a little."
"Mr. Wild Snake, I haven't seen you for a long time, but why did you come so much, the Inquisition and the Space Marines, as well as the planet lords from all over the world, want to visit me, but I can wait for three days to open to the outside to see you." Alan Baier was not angry, although even a Space Marine, if he trespassed into the Imperial Guard base, he would have to be taught a lesson, but the Wild Serpent was a real comrade-in-arms of the Imperial Guard, so he could naturally enter and exit unimpeded.
But the wild snake said at this moment. "Because I have good news, two, first, I'm going to be a judge!" He was ridiculous and excited, but it was also expected, but it was obviously difficult for a stumbling acolyte like him to hold a rose knot in his hand, and secondly, there was always a limit to the number of judges in the Inquisition......
Alan Bair said. "It's the unlucky guy who was swallowed by Dan, right?"
"That's right, but it's also embarrassing, the deaths of the two inquisitors in this star sector have something to do with you that you can't escape, which makes me afraid that I will be eaten by you because of this." The Wild Serpent said a little jokingly, but Alan Baier is indeed the position of the Inquisitor, one of the greatest people in the Empire, and it is indeed rare for a person to die twice in just a few years.
It's just that Alan Bair didn't get to the heart of the joke, and his sense of humor has been wiped out by much of his long military career, he said. "I don't want anyone to die, it's just their stupid actions that make them die." At this point, the words silenced the air.
Wild Serpent had to say a second piece of good news to ease the mood, and this news was not a secret to be precise, it was just a small episode he discovered while investigating the progress of the Blackheart King's fleet, but for such an Imperial Guard, it meant that the Empire had not given up on their current situation.
He said. "Here come the wolves, the warriors who run in the wilderness of Fenrien, who come to smell the blood of their betrayal of their fellow men, and the trail of beasts that were once sealed."
"Jean Dan and the King of Blackhearts let the hunting wolves follow those trails, and the thirsty heirs of Riemanus are looking forward to a feast, if nothing else, this group of greedy beasts should be the Crimson Moon Dalian, led by the wolf lord Gunnar. Red Moon is in charge of the hunting herd. ”
Alan Baier was surprised and happy, but he was also a little annoyed, happy because the person who came was a famous space wolf, surprised because of this incident, and angry because of the fact that the enemy army pressed in, and the troops who came were only a space wolf Dalian.
Although one company of such a start-up legion is definitely far more than the entire regiment of many warbands, Alan Baier can't help but feel that he has a sense of isolation and decline.
"Space wolf......" he whispered, reciting the name of the Angel of Death from Fenrion. If I remember correctly, they didn't separate by company, but recorded the names of those warriors with the Circle of Fate in the Hall of the Head Wolf and the ancient runic text of Fenrien. ”
The name of Dalian is related to the name of the giant beast inherited by its wolf owner, and ...... Gunnar. The Red Moon is supposed to be, a skeletal monster that occupies the seven layers of hell in Fenris mythology, and it devours a large number of worthless corpses to help the yin-yang cycle, so it is massive, hungry, and insatiable. ”
"It sounds like a giant bear, and the skeleton is the body, and it looks like an inorganic thing carved from a rock from a distance, and I no longer know what the wolf master is like to inherit this giant beast."
The serpent nodded and complimented. "Very knowledgeable."
Alan Bair replied. "I've also read a lot of their records of the Human Empire during my time with the Titan Alliance, and Miss Nova as an Inquisitor will talk to me in her spare time, and Captain Bordello is also a veteran of many Imperial Star Sectors and is well versed in Imperial folklore, so this social circle is sure that I will not be timid in this regard."
"But I still don't know what the Dalian of today's Space Marines looks like in Dalian."
The serpent replied. "They like to use fire suppression and saturation strikes to clear the enemy array, and then rely on the powerful melee ability of the combat brothers to clear the battlefield, so as to achieve a short period of heavy destruction, just like in mythology, devouring the enemy's body."
"Their wolf lord is a narcissistic, arrogant, bard-like man, uninhibited and emotional, and of course, he doesn't have a good attitude towards mortals, just as most Space Marines see the Imperial Guard as a backdrop."
"But even so, the attitude of the Startup Legion towards mortals is already a pretty good part of the Space Marines, but it is ignored, far from contempt."
Alan Baier shook his head. "That's why I hate fighting with Space Marines, even if those Angels of Death are reliable and powerful, but such comrades not only go their own way, but also difficult to obey strategic deployment, it's okay to meet capable people, the big deal is to cooperate with them to attack, but this time we need to face the Blackheart King, not every greenskin boss or Spirit Archon."
He was pessimistic about this matter, the Space Marine's own behavior was too bad for the upper echelons, so the Imperial Guard and the Space Marines rarely cooperated when both sides had considerable strength, and most of the common battles were in the case of the Imperial Guard suffering heavy losses, and the Star Marines landed as the blades of the Empire.
The wild snake said. "But this matter has already been completed, and in other words, even if the Blackheart King comes, it is only a Dalian coming, which can also explain the cruel situation of the current empire, as far as I know, this galaxy is burning."
"As far as you know, my lord, the Bay of Damocles is being invaded by the Tyranns, and the hive fleet is coming as scheduled, tearing through the vast star field, and if you go a little further, the Bone Crushers on Armageddon are back and set off a huge green tide."
"Kadia has regained its resistance to invasions, Blackstone Fortresses have been attacked, and even the most marginal Klos Expansion has discovered countless twisted new worlds, tainted or ruled by strange aliens."
"Not to mention these hazes that are enough to destroy the empire, as far as small disasters are concerned, the frequent demonic events and many inexplicable green-skinned frenzy in various places, the appearance of the old one-eyed proves that both heretics and aliens have gone crazy in the last hundred years of this late forty-thousand-year."
The wild snake smiled a little helplessly. "Even the most powerful prophet sees the future of the empire in pitch black today, to be precise, like an infinite darkness tearing apart the entire galaxy, and how big is the galaxy? Millions of light years? Ten million?" He said uncertainly.
"I can't imagine anything that can tear apart the entire galaxy, then most people think that the prophecy is wrong, but the madness of this time makes me no longer sure, Lord Commander, Lord Lord, I wanted to retire and live a safe life, but I can't fool myself."
"Look, I'm over 100 years old, the limit of mortals is only 500 years, if I'm lucky, it's only 400, and I don't have much left, but I still use the best standards of life to demand, saying that it's to pretend to be someone else, but I understand that my heart is still not dry."
"Now that I have become an Inquisitor, according to the rules of the Inquisition, I will probably leave this star sector, so this time I also say goodbye to you as an old friend, in this dark universe, I can't be sure when the next time we meet, and I can't be sure if I can survive, maybe next time, I will become Jean Dan."
"But I believe you won't die, no matter what, even if the suffering beyond the limits of mortal imagination is in front of you, the Maelstrom is still bearing the suffering of the last hundred years of the millennium, and it is not the Space Marines who stand in its way, nor the saints or knight families, or even the mechanical sages."
"I believe in you so far, go all out, because you are mortal, and so am I, and everyone here makes up this huge group, forming walls, in order to keep this sector going, I'm not sure, but no one loves Pangia more than us, because I'm also a Pangia, and so are you."
"I think that the emperor is not favoring you, but thinks that we can, we have the ability, to deal with this suffering in the last hundred years of this dark millennium, not to superhumans and miracles, but to the powerless bodies of mortals, when the volcano cannon lands, when the fortress is ready, I think the miracle will happen to everyone, but unfortunately I can't see it."
"I'm leaving, friend, lord, commander, man of my vengeance, and one of the countless heroes who saved the Empire, Alan Byer, sir." The Wild Snake gave a long bow, his trip really ended this time, and the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guard also gave him a military salute, and then said.
"I was prepared, premeditated, the emperor chose me, it's not stupid, as a human being, I have the consciousness of those responsibilities to give me a destiny, when Pangia becomes the invincible shield of the Empire, when the Imperial Guard becomes the Emperor's favorite warhammer, I will also achieve fame."
"Also, first the Destruction Eagle, then the Space Wolf, what's next? Sharks, vultures? Cow?" He shifted his words like he was repaying the joke he had ruined.
"I'm here for the army, not a zoo! I don't need undisciplined beasts, I just need real soldiers, even if it's the emperor's angel, you have to coil up with me! ”
The serpent burst out laughing. "That's a big deal, and I'm still a snake, you're already a zoo here!"
Alan Bair laughed too, and the two men, who had once been wary of each other, had become friends, reaping friendship in blood and war, laughing heartily in the gold and coldness, just as humanity was in the insignificant and scorching heat of this void......
