Chapter 36 Mechanized war exercises?
"Help, there's a plague in Orla Leaf." (Nurgle is one of the four evil gods of subspace, and plague is his authority)
The brief star message was vaguely translated, which probably meant this. There were also words like "loving father" and "walking zombie" mixed in.
The Mechanic Archbishop received this urgent message. He handed it over to the leader of the Yifeng Chapter who was sitting opposite.
Why, you rebel planets all have the same moral character. You can't return to the empire without encountering some difficulties, right?
The problem is that if I go, I don’t know how many of these Astartes will come back. If I don’t go, the Archbishop will immediately recognize that I don’t have enough strength in my hand, and he might be ready to grab the STC fragments now. .
"How about...you lend me the Warmaster-level Titan first?"
The mechanical archbishop's head almost shook off. I deliberately avoided this matter in the subsequent links, and even gave a vague explanation in the treaty on how it was possible to use this precious pimple as a hostage with the enemy.
"Then if I don't take action, your rebellious planet will not be under the control of my empire."
Archbishop Froes is also troubled. There are villages all over the place, ah, no, half of the sector is just this agricultural world, which is the main source of food for the rebel planets. If it disappears, then maybe everyone will have to starve.
People are like iron rice and steel. Although the Mechanicus is heavily mechanized, there are still people who can eat normally.
Yifeng was still thinking about how to find a suitable excuse to preserve his combat power. The Mechanical Archbishop suddenly said: "I will lend you three Warbringer Heavenly Punishment-class Titans and five Predator-class Titans. No more."
The Predator is the smallest battle Titan (the Warhound is a reconnaissance model). Due to the rear-mounted energy system, it is difficult to kill from the front. However, it seems that with the loss of manufacturing technology, the number of Predator-class Titans is decreasing. .
The Heavenly Punishment class is a Titan mecha model between the Warlord class and the Predator class. It is famous for the huge seismic cannon installed on its back and its extremely aggressive machine spirit. It is relatively common in the empire.
Yifeng didn't expect to actually accept Titan's loan agreement.
What are you waiting for? Load the truck and transport it away.
The huge transport ship accompanying the battle barge immediately went to transport the Titan.
Humph, you put it in my pocket and you want to return it? It depends on whether I am a scoundrel or not in two hundred years.
The two parties signed an agreement and took care of the follow-up matters, and the transport ship also transported some supplies.
Good start, ah no, shake people first.
There are no war groups around, so we can only shake the Star Militia. PS: Multiple belts of hot-melt plasma promethium fuel and fully enclosed military uniforms.
The Atris Militarum immediately responded to the Red Torrent Chapter's request for support, and all personnel were loaded onto ships and ready to set off.
The Astra Militarum at the Provisional Second Council of the Pacific Star Territory... was struggling, although that was indeed their only naval force.
The battle barge immediately jumped into the warp.
The Mechanical Archbishop slowly returned to his forging world on the transport ship. What awaits this world will be a hundred years of full operation.
Yifeng began to train his own Astartes in the subspace, although he only dealt with one plague planet during his recruit era.
This time, the 13 Astartes, including Yifeng, no longer conducted any raids or beheading battles, which was meaningless to the followers of Nurgle.
What's more, we have Titans, 8 Titans, one person can command one, and the remaining 5 people can command their own tank group.
Due to their long history, the production methods of Sikaran tanks and other tanks have been gradually lost, making it almost impossible to replenish them.
There are also very few worlds where Leman Russ tanks can be produced.
Now, under the strong demands of Magos Caul and Guilliman, various forge worlds have obtained the production technology of heavy tanks.
The production of Leman Russ tanks has barely recovered, and the supply of Emperor's Baneblade tanks is still adequate.
From Yifeng's point of view, this group of Mechanicus people were also on the death list. A group of people held on to the technology in their hands and refused to release it. Then they died suddenly in an accident, and the important technology was completely lost.
Once you have enough power, you will find a way to defraud these technologies from the oil guys, and then carry out official production. State controlled and multiple backups.
Therefore, the ten Astartes who went to the Forge World to study abroad also have a special task, which is to exchange knowledge. They not only need to learn knowledge, but also conduct secret knowledge and technology exchanges, using the technology that the technical sergeants parsed from the STC fragments. , steal the technology back as comprehensively as possible.
No, how can it be said that what scholars do is stealing? It is called learning from each other.
A battle barge has a full complement of 150 million mortals, and generally has hundreds of thousands of mortal auxiliaries.
According to the standards of the Astra Militarum, about one thousand to two thousand people will be equipped with a heavy tank.
In other words, if this mortal auxiliary army were fully capable, it should have 400 Emperor Baneblade tanks.
But now there are only 193 vehicles.
In order to avoid the situation of "sending troops to the enemy", Yifeng ordered to maintain double the firepower density and attack. Only 100,000 auxiliary troops were prepared.
Nurgle, the god of life, represents the power of corruption and plague. Isn't the corruption of a creature the rebirth of scavengers and bacteria? The bodies of those who believed in him all turned green and covered with abscesses and herpes. Sometimes their bodies were broken, exposing or falling off their rotten and disease-filled internal organs.
However, those who believe in Him truly regard Him as the God who bestows them with eternal life, and sincerely address Him as a loving father.
Poor mortals infected by Nurgle's plague will be slowly tortured by the virus, and then become Nurgle's zombies. The longer they persist under the pain, the stronger Nurgle's zombies become.
These walkers of Nurgle carry rusty iron swords obtained from unknown sources, coated with disease-ridden viruses.
Even the Astartes cannot resist the erosion of this virus, because this is not only a biological virus, but also a virus with subspace energy. Even those as powerful as the original Horus could not withstand this virus. virus, which was the direct reason why he was affected by Chaos.
Oulaye is still resisting now, of course not because they are strong in battle or determined, but simply because they have no hive, and the human gathering places are giant food processing plants scattered all over the planet.
Therefore, the virus cannot spread too quickly.
Trivia: In the eyes of Nurgle, all living things have equal status, causing plants to be infected with diseases, wither and rot, or turn into muddy swamps, or turn into twisted "grasslands" full of strange creations. The entire planet was transformed from a green agricultural planet into a gloomy green plague planet.
There is only one point left that is still holding on. It is also not about firm will and high combat power.
Simply because the person in charge of this food factory is cruel enough. No matter they are refugees or Nurgle zombies, they are not allowed to enter and will be killed without mercy.
All agricultural harvesters and crushers can be used as large war machines.
By the time the battle barge Solemn Vigilance arrived at Orla Ye, the war had reached its final frenzy, with a large number of Nurgle walkers surrounding the last bastion.
The military in space could only fly the only atmospheric aircraft to conduct bombings, but with little effect against the endless numbers of the opponent. When the combat barge approached, all the troops on the space station and satellite surrendered immediately.
Their warships were completely destroyed in the Taste Massacre, and the newly ordered warships have not arrived, so there is no need to resist. Anyway, just put the responsibility for the rebellion on those people on the ground who don't know whether they are alive or dead. .
Yifeng felt relieved when he saw that the space station was not contaminated. The most feared thing about this plague was that it would spread throughout the universe with space ships.
The current situation is that there are a large number of enemies surrounding the last fortress, focusing on the key points, a large number of enemies.
Brothers, what else is there to say? People are gathered together, orbital bombardment.
What? What to do with the people in the fortress? They are not from the empire, so the rebels should be reduced to ashes along with the zombies of Nurgle.
The battle barge quickly adjusted its attitude, the powerful light spear began to charge, and the macro cannon dedicated to orbital bombing was loaded directly.
The huge pit was bombarded, and all living things were turned into ashes. I originally wanted to save the planet, but Yifeng came too late. Unlike Nurgle and Khorne, the plague that spreads around the world can completely wipe out the entire planet. The world kills.
In the erosion of chaos, the last pure land became a forbidden land. The most effective way to deal with Nurgle's chaos is to wash the land with fire.
Huge Titans were dropped onto the Forbidden Land by transport ships, followed by large numbers of heavy tanks and heavily armed mortal auxiliaries.
It could have been possible to carry out orbital bombardment to cleanse the entire planet, but in this case, the reason why the plague of Nurgle appeared here could not be found. Is it the warp rift? Or did it come from the universe? Or were the people who were bewitched held a ritual summons?
This is something that must be found and solved, otherwise they will just face endless enemies.
They "interrogated" a group of people in charge of the space station, and they told everything about what time the news was received, including who was doing what at that time.
It was discovered that it all seemed to originate from a food processing factory, so now everyone is cleaning up and moving closer there.
Yifeng originally wanted to directly bombard that place and land there. After all, the scan showed that there were many enemies there, but what if it was a subspace crack that became larger after being bombarded by the orbit? No one can guarantee that, and no one can say clearly about subspace.
A large amount of firepower was poured out on the ground, and Yifeng's path forward was basically cleared by the terrifying Titan seismic cannon and Gatling blasters. These ordinary Nurgle zombies were no match for God's machinery.
The mortal army below continued to advance in personnel carriers under the cover of heavy tanks.
There is only one trick to defeating Nurgle: don't let them get close, use firepower to cover them and completely eliminate them.
This is a very dangerous operation, because the great pharmacist is not here, so Yifeng must be very careful not to let the soldiers die. Even if the gene-seed is contaminated by the Nurgle virus, it may not be recovered.
All Astartes were placed in commanding positions, even within the thick steel machinery.
Although these warriors are high-spirited to fight, they really cannot be allowed to take more risks.
The endless and extremely flat plain terrain on the agricultural planet is very suitable for the full launch of mechanized operations. The Sons of Ferrus can carry out an extremely standard mechanized push battle.
Of course, the opponent also has long-range weapons, such as throwing the corroded skull filled with diseased mucus at the enemy. Viruses floating in the air are also deadly enemies.
Promethium-fueled flamethrower holders around will deal with this stuff quickly.
The great Emperor's wrath descended on the planet Orale.
There are not only Nurgle walking corpses on the entire planet, but also some other creatures. For example, some farmed creatures have been corrupted by Nurgle and turned into corpse beasts with extremely strong combat power and infection ability. Let's call this large category of creatures this way.
Some walking zombies of Nurgle rode on these corpse beasts, which greatly increased their movement speed. Of course, it had no effect on the fully mechanized Yifeng and the others, but it was really scary when those virus-filled heads were thrown at them.
Except one creature overturned a Chimera troop carrier and was blown to pieces by the Titan's wrath.
Antbulls, a parasitic creature that is extremely delicious when cooked after removing all harmful substances, are extremely ferocious and nothing can stop their determination to dig holes (not even superalloy walls), so the empire prohibits the breeding of these dangerous creatures. Thing, of course, clearly some brave idiot tried to breed it here.
The ant-cow is extremely suitable for Nurgle's blessing, and after becoming ill, it quickly became a powerful Nurgle war beast.

Another battle barge is recruiting 60 new recruits over the planet Kuslev.
Although this is usually a large-scale event hosted by the chaplain of the war group, Situ Val and Anos have never eaten pork, but they have seen pigs run away.
A grand recruitment selection was held grandly on Kuslev. This time, like the Ultramarines Chapter, outstanding boys were selected for transformation in the training camp.
The main reason is that after the Kuslev Colony heard about the last Astartes troop attack, they calculated that it was almost time for the next one. In the past few years, they have made great efforts to open training camps, so they thought of taking a gamble on this. There is a one-fourth chance that Astartes will return satisfied after choosing to recruit troops here.
This time it was even more exaggerated than the previous 3,000 noble elites, with a full 10,000 talented boys ready to undergo the trial.
The great pharmacist Situ Val was also happy to see this, and handed the treasurer to the technical sergeant Anos. He quietly hid in the darkness of the trial venue and secretly observed several targets that he paid attention to.
The technical sergeant thought about it. According to the standards of the last recruit transformation, the success rate of children with strong bodies and strong wills seemed to be higher. Let's not talk about anything else. Let's do a willpower test first. There are 10,000 people and only 500 left. Let’s talk about it later.
Of course, he didn't want to do anything fancy, so he just sat cross-legged on the ice field and waited until the last few entered the next round.
In the end, 466 of the frozen children entered the next selection, and after a subspace talent and loyalty test, 84 were left.
Technical Sergeant Anos is in trouble. It seems that he didn't control the selection well this time. What kind of competition should be set up to advance from 84 to 60?
In the end, Anos chose to use 60 tokens like Yifeng and let the players carrying the weapons grab it themselves.
Obviously, the technical sergeants did not control the casualty rate in these competitions very well. Only 58 players advanced, and the others either died or were injured and could not be transformed into new recruits.
The great pharmacist Situ Val took a stroll around the lower nest and abducted two lucky ones, or should we say unlucky ones?
——————————————————————————————————
Nurgle's blessing will give the people unparalleled vitality and defense. Even if ordinary Nurgle zombies are chopped by knives, shot by bullets, or pierced by laser guns, they can continue to move and hold "viruses" in their hands. "Sword" swung at enemies who dared to resist Nurgle's blessing.
And now these so-called followers of Nurgle are reduced to ashes by powerful melta and plasma cannons, even more than they were against the greenskins.
The population on this planet is too small, and even if they were all transformed into Nurgle's creations, they would still be far from able to withstand the wrath of the God's Machine.
Orbital bombardments are occasionally dropped from the front or sides, taking away a large number of enemy "lives", if they are still alive.
The mortal auxiliary army sat on the Chimera personnel carrier and kept shooting. The laser kept flashing. Occasionally there were some casualties. When the transport plane transported ammunition supplies, the hot land plowed by powerful thermal weapons would always burn some frontmen. A hapless mortal who went to get supplies.
But overall it was still very good. The combat quality of this group of mortal auxiliaries trained by the Dawn Angel Chapter was excellent. Yifeng even suspected that some people had more experience in dealing with Nurgle's creations than he did.
The front is advancing rapidly, but the consequences of insufficient manpower are gradually becoming apparent. The current number of troops may not be able to support the defense of the cleared area.
Yifeng directly ordered everyone to maintain their formation and continue to advance regardless of the area they passed behind.
The huge food processing factory is now wrapped in vines and slime, and the entire metal creation has a rusty and crumbling feel.
Floor after floor of food processing factories have become places where Nurglings play. This is the culprit of the entire plague. These Nurglings are small in size but are created in the image of Nurgling. They are green. With their short, fat bodies and huge mouths, their bodies were covered with wounds that constantly oozed pus and rotten internal organs "exposed". There were a lot of deadly diseases in the sewage from the bursting tumors. In their constant giggling, they removed these loving fathers. Love spreads all over the world.
Some Nurglings don't have antlers on their heads, which isn't quite like Nurgle, but who cares?
Several small rituals have been performed here to express the gratitude of all beings to their loving father, and in most cases Nurglings and Corruption Flies carrying deadly viruses have passed through the warp rifts and come to reality.
But now, the children of Nurgle feel threatened. The world where everyone encouraged each other is gone. Many children are killed by scorching weapons, and the continuous outbreak of heat waves makes all "life" feel uncomfortable.
They decided to have a big one.
A large number of Nurgle's zombies are gathering at the place where the sacrifice was first made, the ritual venue for praying for food. Various inhuman sacrifices tortured by the disease are constantly being brought to the altar. This is a thank you initiated by Nurgle's creation. A loving father and a priest requesting more troops.
Blasphemous symbols were painted everywhere, mysterious sacrificial speeches appeared in the strange laughter and mutterings of Nurgle's zombies, some strange lines lit up with the brilliance of psychic energy, and the cracks in the subspace were chanted by the sacrificial voices. ” continues to expand, Nurgle once again responds to his “faithful” children.
