Chapter 252: Space Marines Enter Skadi

In the long months, if people's souls can represent a group of shining stars in the endless universe, then all the citizens of the empire combined may not have that many. But when such a number is forcibly compressed within the Milky Way, contradictions, darkness, and resource shortages arise and continue to spread.

Secondly, in the tens of thousands of years of human history, if we take their attitude towards the universe seriously, and regard it as an inexhaustible treasure house and resource package, unless it is a special world like Terra, people will not go to the local resources of the big planet.

It is because although the technology of human beings is powerful, it is not easy to restore the planet. If we want to maintain a broken dead world to keep it habitable, we need to drain several worlds of the same order of magnitude.

The success of Skadi is a different kind of miracle. When the first batch of wheat successfully sprouted and was successfully cultivated, several star regions were paying attention to it. It was not worth mentioning in the dark universe and the huge empire, but it was the hope of many displaced and homeless people. Alanbair became famous, and countless orders for wheat seeds to be cultivated on the dry world continued.

In the empire, to be precise, human nature is complicated. People can bomb a beautiful enough human habitation world with stupid things, or spend a lot of money to repair the place where they lived in their childhood or ancestors, and many planetary governors believe that plants have many advantages and disadvantages in the precarious cycle of their own world.

Secondly, in addition to heroes, orders, honors or normal business exchanges, the prosperity of that period also forced Skadi to face problems. The increasingly expanding commercial routes can be opened unimpeded because of the power of Alanbair, but the problem of space pirates will still really trouble Skadi's new world.

No one would think that letting expensive warships protect civilian ships can achieve profit parity, and no businessman would give up his interests to strengthen his precarious void defense capabilities.

Taking risks means death and loss. Problems that would never occur when using military warships to transport supplies during the Astra Militarum expedition era have sprung up like mushrooms after rain.

For Skadi, if it was a bad incident, the long-term damage to commercial interests and short-term losses would reach astronomical figures. Green-skinned orcs, Eldar, and many desperate criminals, Skadi's warships, even if they were void escorts, could not interfere with such a large void navigation range.

In his office, the Lord of Skadi was at a loss, but his staff emphasized that the incident was not Skadi's responsibility. They had well ensured that the outside of their world channel range was clean, and the warships led by the Bordello were cleaning up those evil things all the time.

Responsibility, they regard responsibility as the most precious thing in the void. In that era, being able to fulfill my duties was the greatest honor. For example, Skadi was not only prosperous, but also able to maintain the transportation capacity and clean landing of commercial routes. For most people, it was perfect, leaving no room for improvement and even a little too perfect.

The seemingly huge void in that era could not bypass the subspace. The Mandeville Point composed of the gravity of countless worlds in the empire was the coastline and reference for the navigation needs of ancient Terran humans.

The worlds in various places are like lighthouses, or port coasts, with the ability to defend against pirates and the great honor of fulfilling the empire's duties.

Ailanbaier looked at the star map. The core wealth road that Skadi mainly pursued was from the jungle world to there. The several worlds passing through the expedition route were quite safe. Their headaches were the several locations where Skadi spread outward.

"Armed transportation is not very feasible, so spontaneous hiring?" Ailanbaier muttered, looking at the lieutenant. "Lieutenant, what do you think?"

He shuddered. It was hard to concentrate on work in that small and warm office... "The Bordello is not very mobile. The Imperial Guard's warships are mainly defensive. If they need to start hiring, they need a superhuman force with strong mobility, strong firepower, good at accurate strikes, hostage rescue, decapitation operations, and can run around without getting tired."

"A large number of spontaneously formed hiring systems are bound to be mixed with good and bad people, killing and robbing. If you want to ensure reputation and safety, you need to strike hard. He thinks Skadi doesn't have that ability at present. What ships in the Empire can have the speed of a destroyer and the firepower of a battleship, and at the same time the crew is good at boarding in the void and beheading rescue?" The lieutenant teased, but Alanbair smiled.

"Yes, the Emperor's angels." The chief of staff muttered, and the lieutenant said incredulously. "Them? How can they help them? The empire's ubiquitous pain and difficulties need them."

Alanbair spoke. "Don't forget, the Destroyer Eagles will soon leave that star zone, and they need a warship to help them, and the situation will be greatly improved."

"Skardi can provide them with a stationed environment and relevant equipment, where they can train and select new recruits. For Space Marines, there are very few mortal soldiers available, and Skadi's quality, will, and everything are top-notch, and the equipment and some of the seeds left by the traitors can also be used as good bargaining chips."

"If he is not, he will not refuse. Stationing a company, which may be less than a hundred people, can get the full support of a world. It is such a cost-effective thing." Sergeant Catachan commented.

the chief of staff added. "Skady's power and special status in the empire can help them reproduce themselves without being watched by the empire. Even the most powerful assassins and infiltrators cannot explore the complexities outside the castle in the dark technological age."

"Secondly, Captain Alan Bair's power can also limit the punishment of those high lords who mistakenly destroyed the Eagle Eastern Faction, and they only need to protect the world that should be protected."

Lytlin boy review. "It's hard to say whether they all won or not. The Space Marines benefit a lot!"

"Boy Leitlin, don't take profits so seriously. In that dark era, they need to take a long-term view. They don't want to be like those high lords, worrying about this and that." Alan Bair stood up and said. "Let the star language announcement go east, the warriors of the Destruction Eagle will come."

The reality is as expected by Skadi's most astute people. The Space Marine strike barges wandering in the sector have greater group mobility than expected. In a period of time before the Star Language was reached, the two The high-ranking lieutenants, who were second only to the Chapter Master within the Space Marine Chapter, came to the temple due to some pressure.

The tall and powerful giants would also greet each other, showing their few favors and respect for their brothers who had served the empire for a long time.

The soldier wearing power armor in the color of the Destruction Eagle, with a bright red cloak hanging behind him, the double eagles of honor flashing on his chest, and the weapons in his legs that could chase ancient bombs from the Great Crusade era, were waiting east of the Emperor's statue. for a long time.

His cloudy eyes clearly saw the person coming in the darkness, a company captain who was also full of honor, but that one seemed more low-key and not much armed.

He spoke. "Brother Kairos, they have not gathered together for many months. Our 10th Company has provided them with many outstanding soldiers. I am very grateful."

The company commander named Kairos answered. "Thank you for your trust, brother. The situation at Ghost Peak was not good during that period."

(Ghost Peak is a wild world located in the extreme star field. To be precise, most of the imperial worlds do not have names like place names, but the aboriginal people in that place do not have the ability to explore space, or even the concept of a planet, so They regard their place of residence as everything.

Interestingly, most of the people of the empire will rely on their own capabilities to occupy their own world with or without the help of the empire. At least most people don't think so, but the people of Ghost Peak are tightly restrained because of the harsh environment of their home planet. In a small area, the barbaric tribal habits and habits also made it difficult for them to expand, and it is impossible to know how they came to that world.

At least after the Eagles of Destruction selected them as their source of troops because of their terrible desire to survive, and built fortresses, monasteries, and nests of birds of prey, the Astartes, as local gods, regularly selected brave men to join the ranks. Therefore, there is also a concept of heroic spirits similar to the Viking culture in the local area, which in turn affects the Destroying Eagle and makes it worship death. )

The man from the 10th Company continued to emphasize. "Wherever a bad famine spreads, there is a problem with the supply of troops."

"Unfortunately, during that time, they were in a situation where they had no recruits available."

The one who had been waiting spoke again. "Then there is a big problem. There are wars in various parts of the empire, and personnel are constantly being lost. Many demons and monsters have become active during that time. The situation in the Maelstrom is very bad, and enemies have begun to appear in the Eye of Terror."

"Emperor, although death is not shameful, at that time, he had to admit that those things came too fast."

The shortage of recruits has always been a pain for most Space Marines, but in most cases, it is more a problem with the Mechanicus Gene Magi than a shortage of personnel. They are not willing to cultivate so many Space Marines for the Empire, and that matter Behind the scenes is the opinion of the High Lords Council.

The sufferings of the Great Crusade era are no secret. The uneasiness of mortals against Space Marines is deep-rooted, especially those of the Council of High Lords who hold power. The focus has never been whether the Space Marines can expand, but whether mortals can allow it or not.

Just as Alan Bair sharply commented on those Chaos Space Marines, they were not cultivated by the Empire, cultivated with countless mortal blood and wealth, and could not be separated from the Empire. The same was true for the Space Marines who were still serving.

Seemingly glamorous, in fact, their rights and interests are not as powerful as those of the Astra Militarum, who seem to be dying all the time. Do at least many high-ranking officials of the Astra Militarum really have the power, and the rebellion has really threatened an entire sector. In the safety.

Without the endorsement of the High Lords, the Space Marines will never suffer, and their supreme leader has left the Imperium. The departure of the Primarch has led to a great reduction in the rights of the Space Marines. In addition, the Emperor seeks guarantees for the rights of mortals. Therefore, people who work hard for the empire have no rights...

That brief discussion ended here. The 10th Company only came there to inspect new recruitment sites, but most of the worlds in the sector that they had created a new relationship with were not up to standard.

Secondly, the Forge World was no longer willing to provide gene-seed legs, because during that period of war, many Space Marine Chapters had increased demand in that area, which made those high lords afraid.

Under such circumstances, the two high-ranking beings also became worried about gains and losses. But soon, when a certain sergeant with a Falcon Blade stepped in, the situation became different. .

That soldier made great contributions during that time, helping the Empire to capture Qiusai and recover the Forge World. His contributions were enough to earn him a military rank and enter the management of lieutenants, but he stayed there because he had a good relationship with the Imperial Guard.

It was hard to say that the captain was wrong. He had no guilt, so he relaxed his tone. "Sergeant, what's the matter?"

The sergeant took a deep breath. "He... received a communication from Skadi, the world of Qiusai. The Lord of Alanbair invited them to visit. That world not only has sturdy imperial citizens, but also has young people who have experienced war and are all soldiers. At the same time, there are Forge Worlds Panlan and Militilia as sources of technology behind it."

The captain nodded. "I've heard a little about it. Is that the location of the Sun Lord?" He did not consider choosing a place, but obviously, he did not think they could use Skadi as...

"Is it an olive branch? What do I think, sergeant?" the captain asked.

"It can be trusted, sir, they can be trusted." The sergeant answered without hesitation.

But those big men hesitated. The Destroying Eagle needed allies. Could they still be hesitant about mortals? Could they trust those people?

Even if they recognized that Alanbair himself had a noble character, the opinions of those soldiers, other mortals or the High Lord Council made them unable to move.

The dark universe made the most powerful angels of the Empire stupid and slow, and they dared not move. Of course, that would not affect them, but those things seemed to be destined...

The sergeant looked at them and couldn't help but say. "He can guarantee their kindness and safety, and Lord Alanbair no longer hates the Lord of the Sun, and he no longer represents the Empire!"

"He and dozens of his brothers can swear for that matter. They should give them a chance, or not!"

His tone was sonorous and powerful, and every word was precious. In the situation as clear as now, there was no worse situation than now. When those warriors of the Destroying Eagle had to admit that they needed to trust mortals, the experienced company commander, the warrior, nodded and said. "Go..."
