Warhammer: I am the Hammer of the Empire.

Chapter 209 Surprises are always unexpected
Mr. Kane's explosive performance (physically) had disastrous consequences, the fragments of the enemies of the empire were scattered all over the place, but someone from the imperial guard had to clean up the aftermath, as outsiders, they needed anything they could shoot, even if it was Cultists be damned automatic gun ammo or a few bombs that are still intact.

In a way, the second lieutenant is the scavenger of the Skadi people. He has naturally walked on the blasted ground, using the explosion craters inspired by those cultists as the forward direction of the safe zone.

"Bullets, bullets, more, a fragment mine that didn't explode, the Emperor bless." Those things are stronger than people think of guns and the like, and the Imperial Guard is generally not reduced to using those things, but with Just in case.

He is a vulture, hanging on the corpses of those traitors and picking at the bone marrow and carrion. This is what he wants to survive on the battlefield. In essence, the position of an individual in the war is no different from his life in the wild.

Attributed to the basics of killing and survival, supplies and victory, war is both the highest act of civilization and the most barbaric act of life.

To be able to call it a war means that it must be planned by many people in a unified manner, and the fights of wild beasts are not counted. Only civilizations can wage war against another civilization, and the essence of war is occupation and plunder, which is a more barbaric and pure behavior.

Looting and rotting are happening time and time again in this dark universe. With the extremely high performance of civilization, even the interstellar empire cannot escape this cruel natural law. It seems that everything is destined to be born in this dark forest.

The snowflakes fall slowly, probably because of the temperature brought by the war and the rain caused by the water vapor climbing up into the atmosphere, and the liquid turns into snowflakes when it falls, which is beautiful and cold.

The second lieutenant turned over the still burning corpse, trying to pull out edible chocolate or life-saving magazines from the clothes of the dead guy, but he only got a small, short-haired rodent that was still wriggling. The heretic was held in his arms, warming himself with his master's corpse.

"This damn thing!" The second lieutenant was frightened. After all, you never know whether it is a mouse or an evil monster in the arms of these lunatics, but the second lieutenant soon realized that something was wrong.

This thing is shivering from the freezing weather, and the current temperature is not too cold, which means that this is not a local creature...

Is it something from the side of the sun?No, the environment of the agricultural world is almost impossible to have living things, and there will be no such small things.

But the weather was getting colder and colder, the second lieutenant couldn't think too much, he could only decide to let this little thing fend for itself, something was indeed wrong, but he didn't know what the problem was.

The snow became more and more violent, as if the imperial guards were not welcome in this world, but objectively speaking, it was only the melting snow caused by the war that caused the raindrops to fall.

In the camp, the officers used simple iron basins and promethium to light a brazier that was not very warm. Ordinary soldiers could only survive with their physical strength. People like the Sun Lord would use the temperature control equipment in the general control area.

The second lieutenant asked the soldiers to enter here with a basket of trophies, and after Alan Baier naturally got a pot of muddy Amset and low-quality coffee from the dead body, he naturally refilled himself a cup.

There is nothing to criticize, as the saying goes, soldiers on the battlefield are not as good as tramps in the city.

"The situation has become severe. The current blizzard will take thirty hours to end. Our pace has been delayed again and again. Although Mr. Kane's actions have caused heavy losses to the enemy, we have already missed the opportunity. "

Alan Bayer calmly analyzed the situation. He always hated the protracted battles of the Imperial Guard. In his eyes, that kind of thing was a model of wasting manpower and material resources.

Kane said. "Blizzard is also very troublesome for the enemy. We can wait, and the enemy cannot expand their defense range and defense strength."

"But they can still make good deployments to defend against the empire's attack. We may encounter a lot more enemy troops than expected, which is not good." The second lieutenant added.

"Obtaining a superior strategic position is the main issue of war. I can't deny this, but the current situation does not allow us to do this." Kane strongly objected. He was already a little scared. The madness of the Skadi people is a bit of a fanatic. Tasteful, he wasn't sure if it was right, they did have many victories, many, many, so that they could be left in the long history of the empire...

But the so-called reputation is just a vague thing for Kane, and the Skadi people don't care. What makes him curious is always what makes them live to death.

Seeing Kane's appearance, the second lieutenant said a little foolishly. "Is this the hero of the empire? I admit that you have outstanding records in many aspects, but in Skadi, there are many heroes like you, and in my eyes now, there is only the coward Kane."

The chief of staff scolded. "How dare you say that?!" As a Kane fan, he still stood by his idol. Even though they had achieved good results, they were still far behind Kane.

But at the moment of tension, such a unanimous sentence. "He was right."

This sentence was read out by the Sun Lord and Kane's staff at the same time. Rather, only these two people know what Kane really thinks.

In the eyes of the second lieutenant, he felt that he was the boss protecting his weaknesses, and the chief of staff was a little unbelievable, but Kane could feel that he had been seen through. The fact that he was a liar had been fully revealed in the eyes of the Sun Lord.

He just kept looking up and talking forward. "That's right, I'm a coward. Actions that don't consider the consequences will make soldiers sacrifice in vain."

"It's easy to miss good opportunities if you think twice. Everything needs to be chosen. There is no perfection, especially in war."

The second lieutenant lowered his head, he replied. "You're right, I'm a little excited."

But no one noticed that there was a trace of sweat dripping from Kane's forehead. This guy was still nervous, but Alan Bayer quickly interrupted his thinking on this matter, and he spoke directly. "Skadi, Valhalla, and Fraxia, the three regiments provide elite troops to withstand the storm and move forward, enter the main nest, occupy the strategic core position, and wait for support."

Kane scolded. "It's crazy, the temperature outside has dropped to over minus 20, and there is a snowstorm, even the imperial engine can't move an inch, you want us to walk..."

"Drugs also need to enter the core area, which can save a lot of lives, sacrifices, and deaths. If the vanguard can disrupt the enemy's city defense during a snowstorm, the controller of this half of the world after we get the first nest is equivalent to falling behind. into the hands of the Empire."

"If the sacrifice of thousands of people can be exchanged for the safety of tens of thousands of people, isn't it the biggest strategic victory?" Alan Bayer asked.

Kane is silent, he won't take part in this operation, it's too crazy, but there is a reason why the Sun Lord chose to do so, the Skadi people are running out, positional warfare and attrition warfare are even more deadly, a complete meat grinder .

They also don't have time, the control of this star area is still controlled by the Red Pirates, and the void support from others will arrive at an unknown time. If the Imperial Guard cannot gain a firm foothold, they will fall into a passive position.

And this place is a large plain, very very large. In other words, if the blizzard passes, the enemy will gather more easily.

There is no choice. Since the weather is not good, they must go against the sky. Mr. Kane just feels that he will be called again, but the Sun Lord just arranges his weapons.

"" Raitlin boy, Catachan, Chief of Staff, let's go, Mr. Kane, get your Valhalla Legion ready during this time. "

"Are you going? You are our core, if..." Kane couldn't help asking.

"This plan was proposed by me, so I must go. This is the tradition of Skadi. I am not superior to others. I will not now, and I will not in the future. Believe me, the orcs, titanium, and Mechanicus have not killed me. Not enough traitors."

"Not enough!" His bravery and self-confidence made Kane feel like a bug, but he still held his head up like a big cock.

"By the Emperor, bless you, Sun Lord."

Alan Baier also answered. "Bless you too, hero Kane."

These two people look very different, but in essence they are also the same. When they are involved in the vortex of this dark universe, they both have only one choice, the Emperor.

The mice on the cliff had turned into ice cups, shivering in the lapels of the dead. The war engines of the empire roared forward. The crazy snowstorm made them unable to see the way. At this moment, the second lieutenant turned over with Kane accompanied Started the empire's beast illustration book, which recorded most of the empire's territory beast illustrations.

At this moment, the visibility in the wild is extremely low, and the cold even makes the interior of the empire's war engine drop below zero. The rich and cutting-edge technology of the Mechanicus is not worth mentioning.

Alan Baier was driving the Chimera armored car, looking out from the narrow car opening, only about five meters in front of him, and the place illuminated by the car lights was still within the range of vision.

The equipment navigation provided by the bird divination instrument can maintain the accurate direction of the Imperial Guard and the general situation of the enemy, and the situation cannot be seen with the naked eye. It feels like squinting forward.

Cold, low temperature, the Chimera moved forward slowly, the speed of the car was very low, because the soldiers of the Imperial Guard were advancing beside his car, the soles of their feet stepped on the thick snow, leaving countless potholes, and barely moved forward OK.

The executors of this mission are all people born in Skadi. They have more or less experience of being frozen. In that place where there are not many clothes and food, the cold is more deadly than human nature.

"How's the status? Staff?" Alan Bayer couldn't help shivering in the car. He couldn't believe how deadly the cold wind outside was.

And the Chief of Staff replied. "It's still going, keep going."

He stood in front of the team, resisting the wind and snow. He was not a Valhalla, let alone a Skadi, so he only relied on his willpower.

And all the Chimera armored vehicles have moved, but their main function is to change shifts for those who can't hold on. They are methodical. They can accommodate 300 people at a time. This team of thousands of people is rotated regularly. Although the speed is slowed down, it can still be reached. destination.

As for the Emperor's blessing, after the bird divination instrument made a very high ticking sound, the flickering electronic screen locked on the thing that the Imperial Guard needed to break down.

"Captain, are you ready?" Alan Baier asked.

The female leader of Phraxia got out of the car, and used her hands and body to maintain the frozen Imperial Baneblade. The gun barrel of the super-heavy tank was heavy, and the giant gun barrel with antifreeze was used to Clean up the crushed ice that may affect the operation.

"Okay, launch." The captain replied.

"Fire!" roar, the roar of the Imperial Guard, the giant missile main gun with the heavy tank, the violent explosion and the following ensemble played by Manticore and Lemanus, who could not see the target of the shot, but in the bird Under the guidance of Bu Yi, he frantically attacked the position in front of him.

Booming, booming, and earth shattering are nothing more than that. In the tranquility after the use of the projectile, the gate of the Hive City, to be precise, in the faint vision of the blizzard, the light and warmth inside the city overflowed.

But the imperial guards were still vigilant, the body of the car moved forward, and the steps and tanks cooperated. They slowly stepped through the gate carved with the imperial eagle and bones, which were destroyed by themselves.

Then there is the human city scene familiar to the residents of the empire, but the statue of the emperor collapsed, the graffiti of the eight-pointed star is everywhere, and countless pieces of meat are scattered beside the gate smashed by the muzzle, and the numb residents inside the hive Watching the child as the Imperial Guard approached
For them, whether the master is the empire or a traitor is meaningless at all, and they can't even tell the difference between the emperor's statue of the empire and the Naya space belief.

They only know that they have to work, their destiny is to work, even if they trembled to avoid the invasion of the Imperial Guard, they did not cheer.

Everyone in the combined Skadi-Valhalla force isn't having it easy, and the metal city is so quiet that it's a little out of whack.

It's just that the second lieutenant far away at the base sent a radio, a vague and short radio. "Boss, I found out that someone from the foundry world came here!"

Alan Bair was a little out of his mind, he sat in the Chimera and asked. "What forges the world?"

The lieutenant replied. "Rats, I found that the cultists carried rats. I checked, and that kind of creature is something that is often seen in the pipes of the foundry world. This world is too cold, and there are no such rats."

Alan Bayer's thoughts paused briefly, and then a depleted uranium flintlock gun he was familiar with pierced his car body and brushed his cheek. A damned cultist was holding a weapon of the Mechanicus, tremblingly looking at the empire. guard...

Next, dense shooting, enough firepower to penetrate the interstellar warriors, when the weapons of the Mechanicum plus countless mortals, their power is extremely outrageous even if they fight randomly, Alan Bayer commanded the soldiers to hide in Lemanus and Shiv behind, shouting at the same time. "Find cover!"
