Chapter 127 Visitors
The Lamenters Chapter has suffered recently.
They were stationed at Langjuxu and were resting and recuperating. The recruits were well trained and the recruit tank had just been filled with new blood of the battle group.
Then something happened.
The giant Necron device they were guarding to imprison the Kork Orks contained a feeding system.
Originally, it was to open the subspace rift and throw some things in to ensure that the Kork Orcs would not starve to death.
But the "food" that is easy for the Kork orcs is a troublesome thing for the Weeper.
Matthew Leo's head is now big, and the "feeding area" that is tens of meters high is now raining insects. These fist-sized insects are very durable, and you need to use a power sword to hit the enemy head-on, and there are many. ....a little bit more.
To a Kork orc, these bugs might be as hard and crispy as popcorn.
One bite at a time, crunchy and crunchy.
But for the Weeper, the battle is a little tougher.
The sharp mouthparts of these little guys seem to be able to bite open the adamantine armor under a sustained attack for a long time. They are very terrifying. Moreover, they are too small and too small. Without the machine spirit reminding them, it is difficult for the warriors to find out that they have them. The little beetles are eating them.
It is impossible for Matthew Leo to be like Yifeng, running back and forth to several Mechanicus every day to obtain a large amount of supplies for fighting. The Weeper has not even repaired the Mother of Tears.
The insects glowing with black light headed straight for the Mechanicus' research area. The Mechanicus heretic Haituo was conducting research on subspace, and suddenly a large number of alarms sounded,
"Haituo Sage, the swarm of insects is attacking. Be careful to protect yourself." (Sage is this shameless self-styled one)
Matthew Leo's voice came out from the communicator, with some gasping sounds, they were fighting on the front line.
But... Haituo heard the word "insect swarm".
"Insect swarm? Tyranids?" Without saying a word, Haituo immediately ordered his men to take out all the guys and rush towards the front line.
My own forge world was destroyed because of the Tyranids, and now it appears here?
Matthew Leo didn't expect that his unexplained words would directly drive Haituo crazy.
The entire Mechanicus base has been mobilized, and all the Mechanicus personnel who have come to assist the Haituo Sage are rushing to various important warehouses, and all the servitors have begun to move things.
The Weeper warrior who stood outside the door glanced inside suspiciously, and couldn't help but feel some contempt.
Isn't it just a group of tough bugs attacking? I haven't even gone to the battlefield, why are you so anxious to move and evacuate?
At the same time, at Mandeville Point, after untold hardships, with the efficiency of the Imperial Navy, countless enemy fortresses were eradicated, and several battlefields were supported. Kafka, an experienced official of the Ministry of the Interior, finally arrived at Langjuxu world.
The old woman who was traveling with him... Inquisitor Iselena was also standing on the bridge, staring at the Dawnlight battle barge.
Finally found you.
Matthew Leo immediately withdrew from the battlefield and headed into orbit.
Why? Haituo Sage came to the front line with a weapons display stand and took his place. His weapons were rich, sophisticated, and his firepower was unprecedented.
Of course, I was just very angry when facing the black insect swarm, and started firing with Gatling as if I had been deceived.
Countless destructive-level cannonballs began to fly around under the control of the servitor, and their power even made the Weeper warriors flinch away.
A small white magnetic card was inserted into the tall Skitarii. It was not known whether this thing was a robot or a super-sized modified human. However, the moment the command card was inserted into its command module, the Weeper was stunned for several days. The amount of supplies was pumped out.
Matthew Leo didn't know what to think, but he needed to hide this place completely.
This place was originally a military restricted area, and the entrance to the entire device was re-buried underground. No one could notice anything unusual here.
Matthew Leo came out of the cave and asked the soldiers to bury it immediately. The large hole in the Necron wall that was originally completely sealed here was wrapped by an anti-psionic stance. This cherished device was deployed in the passage inside the cave at Yifeng's suggestion, and almost no anti-psionic power spilled out. .
Reliable, steady, and guilty.
Officials like Kafka basically don’t have to worry about it, the problem lies with Inquisitor Iselena.
Breeding Kork orcs is a capital crime, and a loyal warband like the Lamenters will do whatever it takes to do this.
There is some psychological burden.
Secondly, the weeper has no idea about the temperament of this inquisitor, who is only two hundred years old and "young."
Who allowed their continuous trek in subspace to span nearly five hundred years in the real world.
The Battle Barge Dawnlight rests here, its recruit tanks filled with the future of the Chapter.
Judge Iselena boarded the ancient battle barge. She sat quietly in the waiting room. No one knew what she was thinking.
"Hello, leader of the Lamenters Chapter." Judge Iselena's tone was so unceremonious that Kafka, who was accompanying him, broke into a cold sweat.
"Hello, I am Matthew Leo, the current Chapter Master of the Lamenters."
"I am Iselena, from the Heretic Tribunal. I am here on behalf of the empire to confirm the specific situation and follow-up matters of your holy war."
"Understood, Judge Iselena, I believe we will have a pleasant cooperation."
It is customary for those Chapters sent on Redemptive Crusades into dangerous areas to submit detailed battle records to the Empire upon completion to prove their loyalty.
After the Imperial trial, they will be treated as normal Astartes Chapters again.
The Lamenters have no shame, and their battles are absolutely worthy of loyalty.
The investigation is multi-faceted. The Inquisitor must independently determine whether this war group is loyal. She must consider various factors.
"Captain Matthew Leo, can you tell me why your chapter only came into contact with one Cult Mechanicum after returning to the Imperial world and did not go to other Imperial fortress worlds?"
"Judge Iselena, there should be clear records in our battle records. Please read back. After a short rest in the Forge World, our war group received a request for help from the Red Torrent Chapter, and then immediately went to support , suffered heavy losses and can only cultivate here. You know, now we can't see the great Emperor's Holy Star Torch, and navigation is a bit difficult."
For a Chapter with less than half a company of conscious men, sailing in the subspace is extremely dangerous.
"I can understand that this decision is well-founded." Judge Iselena's words always sound so easy to talk to, but what she thinks behind them is an eternal secret.
"Nevertheless, Chapter Master Matthew Leo, I still have to tell you, do you know that the Lamenters Chapter has met the conditions for withdrawal?" (Some soldiers are still hiding to fight the Black Beetle)
"The Emperor's blessing, Judge Iselena, we have successfully obtained a group of new recruits with the help of the Red Torrent Chapter, and now we are out of danger." Matthew Leo narrowed his eyes and seemed unhappy.
Iselena is still expressionless, her psychic powers are extremely hidden, and no one can even tell whether she is using psychic powers.
"If you wish, Inquisitor Iselena, I can invite you to visit our recruit training."
For an Astartes Chapter, this is a great deal of sincerity.
"Then I will be disrespectful." There are some doubts about this battle group. Judge Iselena is secretly looking for answers. She needs to have more contact with these warriors.
In the training area of the battle barge, the Astartes were exercising, and several veterans who focused on practicing their physical abilities were guiding the new recruits to fight in their spare time.
When Iselena arrived, a confrontation was taking place.
The great Imperial Icon is watching over here, and everything is fine.
The two bosses walked slowly, followed by a Kafka and the only remaining honor guard of the Lamenters.
"Captain Matthew Leo, can we talk about another thing?" Iselena's seemingly careless tone seemed like she was going to ask what to have for lunch in the next sentence.
"as you wish."
"Captain Matthew Leo, you have mentioned the Red Torrent Chapter several times. Can you tell us about your knowledge of that Chapter?"
Kafka stood up straight. It was finally my turn. Just as he was about to speak out, he was silenced by the voices of two "executives."
"They are a battle group... They have a very broad tactical thinking and their tactics are extremely stable."
Afterwards, there was another stinking and long story-telling time. Matthew Leo told Yifeng and his family's family history in detail, limiting it to what Yifeng wanted them to know.
Kafka is tired. These two big guys really dare not interrupt when talking.
In terms of status, there is no distinction between the Inquisitors and the Chapter Astartes. They are all directly subordinate to the Emperor. Some Chapters will be extremely uncooperative with the Inquisitor, and the Inquisitor will have absolutely nothing to do with them.
But the weepers are the ones who are particularly cooperative, which makes people feel more at ease.
Kafka was a loser in front of these two people. I could only stand there bored.
At the same time, the Lamenters got along relatively well with other Imperial forces.
There are several battle nuns accompanying the inquisitor. At this time, they will not consider whether they belong to the same department. They will use the escort power. This is a tacit thing.
Several nuns and aunties chatted happily with the Lamenters. During the time when there was no fighting, every son of Sanguinius was a noble handsome man with first-class character and taste.
The mourners were performing the necessary grand ceremony above to welcome the arriving friendly forces, while the battle was in full swing below.
Haituo joined the battle in line with the concept of coming here, blasting with two cannons before leaving.
The entire battle turned into weapons testing and debugging. Countless weapons of uncertain power were pulled out for testing, and even one Weeper was injured.
This crazy mechanical sage even wanted to test the newly researched subspace weapon, the kind of weapon that opens the rift in the subspace to kill like a vortex torpedo.
The weepers put their bolters to Haitu's head, and he reluctantly gave up.
The Lamenters were almost recognized as enemies by the Skitarii.
"For the Emperor, kill all the aliens!"
The top leader on the field roared and kept waving the war blade to cut countless black beetles in half.
The black beetles originally attacked the soldiers in a scattered manner. With the support of Haituo, the battle situation became stable.
But our pseudo-Sanguinius died somewhere, triggering a lucky backlash.
At the last moment when the subspace rift feeding the Kork Orcs was about to close, a black beetle king insect was thrown out.
The entire black beetle swarm suddenly had a leader and immediately began to fight around the king insect.
All the soldiers looked at the sudden change in front of them in surprise. Only Haituo Sage's super eyepiece could clearly see a slightly larger black beetle commanding them.
"Be careful, the enemy has a commander." The inferior electronic mechanical sound lifted everyone's spirits.
This is so refreshing.
The Lamenter warrior reluctantly took out his flamethrower and prepared to end the battle in one fell swoop.
The black king insect was not that easy to deal with. It also began to fly, hiding under the shadow of many insects, and began to direct its men to focus on attacking a warrior.
The situation becomes delicate.
The black beetles concentrated their efforts and arranged the young and strong beetles that were not injured in the siege mission. Those who flew fast but had low attack power were placed in positions to harass the enemy's rescue troops.
"There are too many enemies here, brother, I need support." The situation of the warrior at the innermost part of the insect swarm was already very dangerous.
Haituoke became excited, and the robotic arm behind him began to assemble a large number of spare parts brought by the servitor.
After the battle with the Kork Orcs, not only Anos was studying the rapid assembly of positional turrets, Haituo was also involved.
This time he assembled a turret, a six-pack of Hellstorm guns.
This is a weapon only used by war groups with extremely strong martial arts. In short, it consumes money very quickly.
Under the rapid operation of the robotic arm, it didn't take long for these mechanical parts to become a terrifying weapon.
The black beetle seemed to be aware of the danger and began to hiss, and the black king insect retreated a little further.
The black beetles that had harassed the Astartes support forces dispersed and launched an external guerrilla attack.
If it bites you for a few times, the machine spirit will call the police. You can't ignore it yet. It doesn't like to fight. It bites for a while and then goes away, which consumes your energy.
"Keep calm! Pay attention to the combat environment." The priests of the Lamenters shouted loudly to prevent anyone from succumbing to the power of the Black Rage in such an incident.
The six-gun Hellstorm gun finally began to spit out tongues of fire, and countless explosive bombs flew past the surrounded warriors, crushing the insects one after another.
The black king insects immediately changed their formation, and all the beetles revolved around the large forces of the Astartes and the Adeptus Mechanicus. The weakness of this fort was also revealed. It did not rotate fast enough and could not be used as the only fort in the isolated island formation.
The Astartes in a safe area were firing with bolt guns, and the bolts blessed by the holy oil flew towards the black beetles full of the wrath of the God Emperor.
In the bursts of air explosions, many beetles turned into splashes of insect juice.
The King Insect has no choice. This is the gap in physical power. It can only try to escape.
Some beetles covered the Overlord and began to move deeper into the world, with the Astartes following closely behind.
At this time, the Astartes stationed on the planet were extremely nervous.
There is a secret war inside that has not yet been settled, and outside, Judge Iselena is about to land on the planet.
When the time comes, I hope that humans in this world will not cheat.
Human beings in this world have seen with their own eyes Kazanev being blessed and killing all directions, and their faith in the emperor immediately increased. Although Yifeng does not support religion, the fanaticism of the people is enough to create a kind of The illusion of state religion.
To be fair, an Astartes would be hard-pressed to see such a miracle, let alone a mortal.
Judge Iselena is walking in this world. According to common sense, she should be searching for documents in local government agencies now, but she doesn't. She has her own way.
She found a random gangster, half deceived and half forced to take him to an alley, and directly searched for the soul.
This gangster was one of the witnesses to the emergence of the God-Emperor. From his perspective, because he was too far away, he could not clearly see the physical characteristics of the Kork Orc. He could only barely tell that he was indeed talking to the green-skinned man. fighting.
You can't expect an average person's memory to be clear.
This time it was Iselena's turn to be surprised. She didn't expect that it was really a blessing from the emperor, and it was genuine. No, she had to look again.
Ever since, a strange story about a soul-stirring old aunt has been added to the urban ghost stories.
Anyway, the lie came true. We are stationed here to ensure that there are really no green skins here, and to recruit new soldiers to recuperate.
After wandering around the planet, Matthew Leo once again reunited with Iselena on the Dawn Light.
"Captain Matthew Leo, I hope that the Weeper Chapter can go with me to the world of Ekfut for repairs, where we can receive more complete supplies and wait for the next order from the imperial theater. There are also many Aspens there. The Tat warband is gathering.”
The Empire prepares for a great war and continues to gain all the power it can get.
"If possible, Captain Matthew Leo, I hope to inform the Red Torrent Chapter to meet up there." Kafka finally found the opportunity and spoke.
These are the only people who can contact the elusive Astartes now, Kafka thought.
This is my last hope to complete my mission, otherwise I can only just follow the fate in the subspace or go to the Mechanicus world to wait and see.
At this time, he didn't know that the Solemn Alert had already sailed away, and he thought he had a guaranteed choice.
"I'm afraid this is a bit difficult. Judge Iselena, you know that without the guidance of the Emperor's Star Torch, it will be difficult for the navigators to safely lead us to the target location, and we do not have enough soldiers to deal with sudden crises. .”
Normally, these warriors can easily regain a world, but in this situation, if thrown into a more intense war, they would not even be qualified to be cannon fodder.
We are loyal, but we are not stupid.
Kafka is very disappointed, why is no one paying attention to me?
Judge Iselena still insisted on her idea, while Matthew Leo was hesitant.
Will this arouse her suspicion? If she wants to thoroughly investigate this planet, the secret will be easily exposed.
After repeated shirks, Matthew Leo had no choice but to accept the inquisitor's suggestion, pack up and prepare to leave.
All inquisitors are stubborn breeds.
The Astartes who are fighting the Black Worms are stupid. Why did I become an orphan while fighting them?
I don’t know when I will be able to return to my parent group, but that’s not the point.
The point is that we don’t have a boat! So what should we do, just eat and die in this world?
A few days after the main armies of the Lamenters left this world, the local Lamenter garrison attempted to contact the Red Torrent Chapter to gain support.
Unknowingly, the number of people in Yifeng's twelfth company expanded a little.
——————————————————————————————————
Over at Yifeng, the recruitment of new recruits is going on, and a great event is coming.
Accident, really an accident.
A battleship entered the orbit of the planet Atris.
This is the Slaanesh battleship that was chasing them when they first encountered the Victory-class battleship commanded by Captain Siloft. Now it has actually been repaired.
It took only seventy years for the Maverick Forge World to restore them.
They even thoughtfully provided door-to-door delivery service.
Needless to say, corners must have been cut. These guys are the Mechanicus who believe in the truth of the empire, and their religion must be a little worse than other worlds.
Compared with the "serious" Mechanicus who have to kowtow several times to twist a screw, the Mavlek Mechanicus' purification of Slaanesh battleships is more "physical".
They recast some parts directly after a simple blessing, and then "consecrated" them like a normal battleship.
No matter what, it's better than nothing.
The two sides held a friendly meeting. Based on the behavior of us paying protection fees to you, Mavlek's Mechanicus tried to put forward outrageous conditions to save the Red Torrent Chapter's future armaments, but they were immediately attacked by Yifeng. Total opposition from the group leader.
The benefits will be accepted without fail, and the conditions will not be accepted.
Note that there is no maintenance fee for this battleship. "According to what is written on the toilet paper", the Astartes will not have battleships whose users are not battleships whose combat effectiveness has not changed much.
It should be delivered to the Astra Militarum for use.
So it was only natural that the Atris Militarum evolved into a semi-naval force and had its own flagship.
The Solemn Alert also set sail to meet William and the others.
Yifeng smiled bitterly, feeling as if he had returned to before liberation overnight, with so many fewer soldiers under his command. In desperation, he snatched several veterans from Lian Lei Luo and added them to the group of Terminator warriors.
The wear and tear of Terminators is very fast. Enke is now responsible for repairing these important armors. He has done a good job. A large number of precious Terminators are now waiting for the arrival of their masters.
Their owners have all been killed.
Yifeng stamped his foot and his heart shook. Most of the original warriors stationed in the area were taken away and replaced by several sons of Primaris Guilliman.
The Terminator currently only has a normal version, and can only be worn by ordinary Astartes veterans.
Yifeng had less than 50 veterans, so he could only steal 50 of them to form an all-terminator company.
It's really annoying to have more A's than people.
