Warhammer: I am the Hammer of the Empire.

Chapter 62 Zhongming Garden, Lieutenant Colonel Ailan

Ever since Karoo City came out of the Desperate War, the church bell has been beating non-stop all day long, each time representing a lost soldier of the Star Militia Army. Every corner of Lucheng.

Boom boom boom boom boom boom...

Next to the cemetery on the upper floor, this is the place where the nobles rested. It is planted with rare stable plants in this world and rare Terra creatures, butterflies.

Alan Baier was wearing a jet-black imperial dress, leaning over to look at the creeping eye butterfly on the unknown opal-colored flower, something he missed.

He didn't come here for fun, and he didn't take off his armor to celebrate victory. When he could inlay the double-headed eagle emblem on his chest, he would never forget it.

The two-meter-long marble tombstone of the hero cannot be written clearly. Throughout the centuries recorded, the staff officer has sat by the tomb. bones.

He sang songs from his hometown.

"Maybe in my lifetime, I won't see the glory..."

"But I've seen miracles big and small, and if a feral cat can make it, so can an orphan without parents."

"It means that everyone has a chance, toast to the emperor, even if it is no longer freedom, as long as we can have another cup, as long as we can have another cup."

He lifted Amset who had "escaped" from his arms, and sprinkled it on the tombstone. He smelled of alcohol, and Alan Bayer couldn't help covering his nose.

he said. "What are you doing, what are you thinking, staff officer, why are you so lost, you should smile more, just like the person you admire."

"The lieutenant colonel is with the emperor's loyal soldiers, don't be sad, the world still needs us."

The staff officer sighed and rubbed his head again. Even though he worked hard, he would still be injured. He took out the photos taken by the city wall that day, and now the people on it have almost left.

Times have changed, they are still waiting, unable to control their own lives, even though they are all unique, the war is over, where are the good people?

Alan Baier looked at the photo, pursing his lips lightly, how could he not be sad.

"Have a drink with me."

He stretched out his hand and took the scorching wine. The imperial wine slid across his throat, burning his body and numb his spirit, just like in that tavern. People praised him as rough jade and gold, but Today, the truly great ones are gone.

Sitting by the tomb, he couldn't help cursing. "Fuck."

"No one will remember the sacrifice of the lieutenant colonel. They take the sacrifice of the star army for granted?"

"The statue of the Astartes has begun to be molded in the Secondary Square, but how is he, Lieutenant Colonel?"

Yes, it was not them who killed the one-eyed man, but the Emperor's angels, and glory should go to the Son of Baal, but it cannot be denied that they could not win without the great help of the Sergeant.

But everything about the lieutenant colonel was overshadowed by this annoying long clock, together with thousands of men and women who passed away.

But they knew very well that Karoo City was not capable of praying to all the lost people and composing a funeral, not to mention that the living people were already very tired. Except for the monk Astartes who could be used as a spiritual symbol, others were not qualified to erect statues.

But people are emotional, Alan Bayer couldn't help cursing, and the staff officer was also aroused and shouted.

"To Catachan! To Colonel! To Hope! To The Emperor!"

They tasted each other a few sips of fine wine, then stood up at the same time, looked at the black and smoky city of Karoo in the distance, and wiped off the few "sweat" on their faces. As heroes, they still had things to do.

One-third of Karoo City's territory is still occupied by greenskins, and the lower floors must be burned with flames. The pressure on the upper floors suddenly arises, and a large number of civilians are arranged outside the hive capital to live with the chaotic forest. This situation may last for several Year.

Outside the city of Karoo, the gathering places of human beings are all in ruins. They need legions and troops to take back this dilapidated and beautiful planet. The war has not stopped yet. The aftermath of the hurricane caused by the one-eyed one needs all the living people to work hard for a lifetime. make up.

Clothes in rags, no supplies, and mobs actually need to govern a world. How can they get out of this dilemma, without relying on the empire or other forces? In the place where refugees gather, a nobleman holds up his kraft paper, calling out to everyone , all those who have a backbone, join the army, and give everything you have left, for the sake of this world.

His name is John Dern. He will bring more weapons, soldiers, and hope to maintain the world's clean-up war against the green skins. He is Alan Bair's right-hand man. He is not only brave on the battlefield, but also smart. people.

If the world needs to win the remaining wars, he will be the core.

Alan Baier and the staff came, and they asked.

"How are you preparing?"

shouted John. "The ammunition has been replenished. The PDF is now mixed with the rest of the Star Militia Army. The old and the new are brought into play to maximize their combat effectiveness. All the remaining wealth in this world, gangsters and nobles, are all under our management."

"The orc war machine was also melted, and now it has all become building materials for the new city."

Alan Bair said. "Well done, Mr. John."

John replied. "You're welcome, boss, it's not easy to win, but the hardest part is over."

Alan Baier nodded. "The reality depends on our Imperial Guard, prepare all the vehicles, unload the ammunition from the firearms, unload the ammunition from the firearms!"

"We can't let fire escapes and recruits disturb our opportunity. We continue to move forward in the dark streets. We are in uniform and take advantage of the civil strife among the orcs to eliminate all the enemies."

"It's best to prepare, fight in close combat, seize the opportunity, and be steadfast!"

"Listen to the order well, don't repeat it, the action code is, collect the old land!"

Civilian trucks and a few Chimeras roared their engines and released tens of thousands of soldiers to countless places in the entire lower level of the Hive City. This was the opening song of hope in Karoo City.

Brothers and sisters, conquer the homeland, write a new story in pdf, when the orcs broke up and fled, the fourth row was blocked at the city exit!
The flames roar, the weapons don't stop, and all the alien blood debts are paid!
The fertile land was turned into scorched earth, loyal brothers left because of the war, anger and resentment turned into bullets, and it was imperative to kill the orcs.

In the end, Karoo City returned to human control, the gates were closed, factories were rebuilt, and the people who escaped from the dead saw their homes destroyed, but they still raised their hands to rebuild brick by brick. It was not completed in an instant, and there were still countless green skins drilled into the pipeline, which could not be cleared away. In this way, from the arrival of Alan Bayer to the death of One Eye, the battle took a total of three months, and the sacrifice...

There are records of 5000 members of the Astral Army, more than 20 million residents of the hive capital, [-] PDFs, Astartes monks, one...

The church bells don't stop for several weeks.

The great Blood Angel was relocated back to the stasis position, his physiology has completely dissipated, and is now stored as a holy relic in the church, worshiped by all.

The location of this world is remote, there are no astropaths deployed, and the connection with the empire has not been completed all day long, so it can only rely on the maintained Astra Militarum to project information to the orbital layer infinitely and without restrictions.

After the factory was repaired, a large number of civilians were put back into production. Logging guns, beam guns, and wars did not change anything. They still had to face a large number of greenskin harassment.

The Third Skadi Infantry Regiment of the Astral Army was merged into PDF troops due to heavy casualties, all members of the fourth row became hive nobles, and John Dern was appointed as the planetary governor.

The staff officer joined the local PDF to continue serving, using sharp swordsmanship and wisdom to clean up the remaining greenskin remnants.

The lady officer in the fourth row has become a well-known lady. In just one year, the atmosphere left by the previous war has completely dissipated on her body, and she has become a beauty that men dream about.

But the ambiguous stories and lace between her and Alan Baier will always be the content that the nobles are scrambling for.

The Mechanics Sister lives in the technological warehouse of the Dark Ages, and has not appeared again for a year.

Alan Bayer joined the local PDF like the staff officer, and became the head of law enforcement of the bailiff. He mastered almost all the armed forces of the Hive, but spent all day looting and killing greenskins outside.

The road conditions in Dagondeva VI are very bad. Alan Baier sat in the cockpit of the Chimera and watched the crazy machines swallow those trees, but the vegetation here grows too fast. Communication in big cities.

During this period of time, he and his staff found several human settlements destroyed by greenskins. Now some residents of Karoo City have settled in. The greenskin tribes without unified leadership can no longer pose a huge threat in this world, but the forest terrain is also It is destined that they will have endless spring breeze.

On the cockpit of the Chimera, the photo of the fourth row and the Catachans was hung inside, shaking with the bumpy road, the staff officer combed his waist.

"Those noble banquets are really troublesome, so much food, so much waste, how good would it be to use it for war?"

Alan Baier lightly pressed the brakes, avoiding those messy and unexpected things. "Of course, I am very clear, but the nobles of the empire are like this. They will rely on eating and drinking to express their wealth and vent their desires."

"If it weren't for those useless guys, we are still serving in the Star World Army now!"

The staff officer replied. "I'm wondering if those star fighters in the city will become those nobles when they get married, with big bellies and round waists, and dull brains."

Alan Baier replied. "Yes, absolutely, you can't believe it, my subordinates will give me gifts every quarter now, as if they forgot that our orbital defense ability is almost 0, maybe the Ida pirates passed by and carried out air strikes that day, and we are finished !"

The staff officer nodded. "They don't know how to be prepared for danger in times of peace, but that's good... I just hope that the empire will find out what's going on here sooner."

The two chatted about what they didn't have, and it might be crazy, because they both had a lot of nostalgia for the days when they served in the Star Militia Army. Now the action of plundering the green skins is quite "boring", compared to the showdown that day.

The staff officer drank rainforest tea, even though it tasted like coffee, it was still "tea", and he couldn't stop yawning.

Of course, they enjoy this kind of life very much, how should I put it, they seem to be retired.

Watching my armored vehicle crush trees, shoot and kill greenskins, and then set fire to them, and gather with soldiers to play cards, drink, and teach newcomers how to survive. live a lifetime.

But fate obviously won't let them go so easily, or the empire won't let them go so easily...

When Chimei drove back to Karu City, there were chaotic crowds flowing, which was rare, because the depopulation caused by the war made the city deserted, but what would make this world so lively?
Alan Bayer drove at full power, and the Chimera drove frantically to the upper floor. They used the elevator. When they stopped, they saw the huge battleship familiar to the Imperial Navy parked on the track, and several battlegroups mixed with armored regiments and artillery regiments. Even the infantry regiments stood ready, but when they landed they were greeted not by the dreaded orc heresy, but by the loyalists of the Empire.

Lieutenant General Matoka, the master strategist of the empire, the commander-in-chief of the military affairs department of this star area, a tall man with ponytails, wearing a cape, looking at the data board seriously, obviously he hardly dared to read the above records. Believe it, but the reality of this world is already in front of him.

When Alan Baier and the staff officer came, they saluted the lieutenant general because of their military rank, but the lieutenant general stopped them immediately.

"Loyal people, there is no need to salute. What you have done has brought glory to this star area. It is a pity that we came too late."

In fact, during this period of time, Alan Baier's attention was all on the things behind the lieutenant general. Those were the Chimera armored vehicles that had just disembarked from the transport ship, the Scorpion missile vehicle, and the Hydra anti-aircraft tank...

He was hungry, he had never seen so much firepower, he wished a few could stay here to defend the world.

The lieutenant general didn't know that the person on the other side was not in the mood to listen to his boast, and was still chattering about those honors, but in the end, Alan Baier got the position of lieutenant colonel of the [-]th Skadi Infantry Regiment, and the staff officer became the [-]th infantry regiment. The senior staff officer of the Infantry Regiment, but the Lieutenant General has many matters...he can't stay long, and the [-]rd Regiment has almost disintegrated now, and all of them have become important local PDF commanders.

The lieutenant general can only use many open spaces in this world as the entry point for the fourth regiment, and will leave after giving them the right.

In other words, they are still the star army and the nobles of this world, and the lieutenant general will not stay in this world. Alan Baier and the staff will get the greatest command here, which is also the "reward" of the empire for the loyal two ", that is more responsibility!

And they need the Skadi Fourth Infantry Regiment, which is responsible for ruling 5 people, an elite regiment composed of PDFs!

At the same time, an Imperial Lunar-class cruiser, the Boldero, was also ordered, and this world completely became one of the thousands of places where the Star Militia was stationed.

Obviously, the emergence of one-eyed and dark age technology forced the empire to face up to this seemingly ordinary garden world...

The last tenth of the dark age technology was roughly appraised and collected in the pocket of the lieutenant general. There is no doubt that this thing is probably the reason why the lieutenant general gave Alan Bayer so many resources.

And Alan Bayer's "faction" in the empire is probably the line of this lieutenant general.

Next, he may have to face the mechanical sect who came here for archaeology, and all kinds of ghosts and snakes, because the treasury of dark age technology is even extremely important to aliens or chaos traitors.

During the ceremony of honor, countless Star Guardsmen and residents of Karu City surrounded the two of them and presented them with gifts. The brand-new military uniforms not only had cloaks, but also wore extra-fitting clothes.

The Ministry of Military Affairs also dispatched a strictly trained astropath to communicate across the world, and of course there is also a star map, which only the command class can see, the star map of this world.

Alan Baier swiped the tablet. Although the staff already knew the location here, he didn't know it. When he saw clearly what was next to this star area, he suddenly felt that it was the right choice to go to war with the lieutenant general...

Because that's the infamous... Maelstrom!
