Chapter 363 Volcano Cannon
A month after the Imperial Guard completely took over the Engili spaceport, the upper nest was reopened in the aftermath of the war. However, only individuals who had been strictly investigated by the Inquisition were allowed to enter it to recover family relics or valuable contracts, and promised Inquisitor Baby and his acolyte Mr. Wild Snake will accompany you as much as possible.
That's right, Wild Snake returned to his position. He told the empire with loyalty that he still had useful information. The Tribunal was also happy to accept a capable person who dedicated himself to their service, and he was also arranged by Alan Bair to go to a He worked as a farmer in the agricultural world, but the fire in his heart was not extinguished and he refused this tempting invitation.
However, he is now said to be a dog of the Inquisition. It is better to say that he serves in the Imperial Guard. It is not his original intention to be duplicitous, but at present, when both parties have the same goal, he can serve as a lubricant to ease the conflict between the two groups of forces. Contradictions are already rare.
However, after he brought the first batch of allowed loyal nobles and their servants into their old mansion, it was as if those strange scenery would not let go of the empire. At this moment, it felt like tens of thousands of years had passed in the nest. In other words, only the ground is like that.
The solid and cold fine gold ground turned into corrupted soil, full of nutrients. It may be the influence of the subspace ability, or it may be something that happened during the war that caused the mutation here, but there is no doubt that it covers an area of more than ten kilometers at this moment. The huge nest turned into a fertile soil during the one-month closure.
This violent change, contrary to the psychic decline detected by the Tribunal, is frightening. Although the noble houses are still standing on the soil at this moment, the retrieval route was immediately interrupted.
Amid the hustle and bustle of the Inquisition and the confinement of information, this heretical miracle was thoroughly explored by Inquisitor Nova and the Destruction Eagle Think Tank. However, they did not feel the interference and pollution of the subspace, but were unusually calm...
Miracle or curse? These two powerful psykers were uncertain at the moment, and from a professional perspective, someone who had nothing to do with this matter became the target they subconsciously wanted to complain about. It was not the more powerful psyker, nor the An astropath who can predict the future to a certain extent is a mortal.
In Alan Bair, after the mortal lord got this information, he subconsciously felt...
Farming is possible here, yes, farming. According to the investigation, the weather and lighting system and sufficient water supply system in the upper nest have been improved and have not been destroyed by those mutations. He feels that this matter is not a curse, but an imperial one. It was a small gift from the emperor to his child who loved farming.
At the same time, he also realized that this was a reminder that the existence of a giant deep space port like the Engili Spaceport meant that the empire's warships had an absolute advantage in protracted warfare.
Not only does it provide firepower and cover, but also the ability to repair and resupply. Enjili can become a base in the void, which is especially important when the Imperial Guard and the Traitors are close in strength.
What's more, two volcano cannons will also be transplanted here. Heavy giant thermal weapons are the timid natural enemies of the Ark of Omen. If you want to win, if you think about it from another perspective, what would Alan Bair choose as the commander?
Of course, use the Dreadclaw, that ancient airdrop device, to directly smash into the upper level of the hive, and then use Space Marines to directly occupy the upper hive area to invade the interior of the hive. Even if the Imperial Guard transfers the core control area to the middle hive, the upper level Nests are still valuable as invasion points.
It can even be said that the biggest occupation point and value here is the Engili Port. Its strategic and economic value is greater than the countless unknown worlds in the empire. It is a place where fleets can be maintained, weapons can be forged, and troops can be recruited.
In the endless void, such a large platform also functions as a traffic artery similar to Mandeville Point.
Secondly, the Imperial Guard also prefers soft soil in terms of tactics and strategy, which can better place and install bunkers, defense projects, and trenches, and will not hinder the combat effectiveness of tracked vehicles too much, that is, their passability.
At this point, Alan Bair realized that the war would be triggered within Port Engili, and that this war would be decisive and determine the true fate of this sector, and he immediately opposed all opinions and asked the Imperial Guard and pdf to immediately Go and be stationed at the ruins of the Upper Nest.
The 4th and 5th Skadi Infantry Regiment, the 113th Armored Regiment of Falaksia, the 12th Gray Garonne Infantry Regiment, the 1st and 2nd Armored Regiment of Pangea, and other local PDFs are not so similar to those of other Imperial Guards. The important legion formed Pangia's largest battle group, consisting of a full 300,000 people, 6,000 armors, baggage, and transport vehicles, and began to set up its own defense system.
This is dangerous, desperate, and reduces the defense of other locations in the hive, but in other locations, it will take a certain amount of time for even the Space Marines to approach the main hive. In other words, he has to sacrifice civilians in exchange for the Imperial Guard. Face the enemy at your best.
It no longer matters what kind of killing those traitors will cause to ordinary people. Victory and the preservation of the Imperial Guard's soldiers are more valuable than the lives of Imperial citizens. He begins to become like those Imperial officers, but in this dark world For ten thousand years, it was more of a forced and helpless choice.
Then, the plan unfolded normally. Although the Inquisition expressed dissatisfaction with such actions, they could only endure it, and rarely, Nova stopped recording him.
Maybe it was because he had almost finished writing about his experiences during this period, or maybe it was because the relationship between the Imperial Guard and the Inquisition had deteriorated irreversibly, but at this moment, the empty office was once again alone.
The next week passed, and the two heavy volcanic cannons built by the Mechanicus gradually approached Engili. As long as they entered the Engili-controlled area, after the next two months of transportation and travel, the crucial muzzle would be on the wall of Engili.
On the outside of this deep space platform, the location of the volcanic cannon was recessed on the outside of the huge elliptical airport. With enough shooting depression angle, it only took two rounds to tear apart the terrible omen ark and tear apart the terrible thing.
The Mechanicus began to train its personnel, and everything was in order, just like the Emperor's blessing, but a star message broke that kind of thing. At this critical moment, test firing, installation, adjustment, and transportation were less than five months away.
With the haze projected on people's hearts by the enemies who might approach at any time, the two giants representing the future and victory of the empire were stopped at the border area of Pangia.
Alanbair rarely gets angry, even if it is Miss Nova who is closest to him and the loyal guard who has returned to his post after a month of treatment, the Catachan Sergeant, a soldier who has returned after a long treatment after enduring the stench of the untouchables, the artificial skin makes him as handsome as before, but the skin is a degree whiter overall.
Even the close Catachan has never seen the gentle Commander-in-Chief Alanbair slam the door and leave. Although he hurriedly followed, he could feel that this was very bad.
Along the way, he heard countless complaints, such as traitor, ungrateful wolf, beast, stupid, and such curses. After a few sharp turns, he also heard more special ones, such as fuck you, fuck you, such curses in the dialect of the unknown empire-ruled area.
When he hurriedly passed the sentry post set up by PDF and got into his hover car, Lieutenant Colonel Kenny, who was now responsible for the security of the core area of the main nest, couldn't help asking Catachan. "What's wrong, sir?"
"Someone has offended me, I advise you not to ask." Catachan was rarely afraid of anything, but now, he realized that he shouldn't cause too many eye-catching things.
Kenny shut up and saluted, watching the hover car pass through several heavy adamantium explosion-proof doors, and then rode away.
Catachan was sitting in the co-pilot at this moment, watching Alanbair, who was swift and decisive, and turned the steering wheel violently, and couldn't help but speak. "What happened? Did the lieutenant blow up the residential area?"
Alanbair replied with a curse. "Those beasts of the Inquisition have detained the volcano cannon at the border! If it weren't for the wild snake, we would probably still be kept in the dark!"
"What do you mean?" The Catachan sergeant couldn't understand why those people did that...
"They want the Imperial Guard to be wiped out here, flee, or fail. They want to rely on external forces, that is, the Blackheart King to destroy their obstacles in this star zone."
"They think that the Blackheart King will attack Terra or Cadia directly like several large-scale traitor invasions, and then be defeated by the Empire's gathered forces, and then they can reap the benefits." Alan Bair said angrily.
The sergeant felt that his whole body was cold, not because of the skin that had just been installed, but because the malice of those Inquisition people was almost materialized and stuck to his forehead.
He shouted. "I know the shortcut, the path ahead is to the right!" Then he picked up his bomb and prepared to deal with the remnants of the Inquisition stationed here like dealing with demons.
This is crazy. Almost no forces in the Empire have resisted the Inquisition. To be precise, although there are records of conflicts between the founding group on Griffin and the Inquisition, and the Inquisition did retreat, such records are rare in the Empire under their great power.
Even if the Imperial Guard is a huge organization that is no less than the Inquisition on the surface, the functional gap and the independence of each star region make it difficult for the Imperial Guard to concentrate its strength.
Even if Alan Baier is extremely tough, when the car stopped in front of the sharp tower building hidden by the Inquisition, those guys chose to turn a blind eye.
However, Alan Baier was able to lock on this place not because it looks like the gathering place of the Inquisition. On the surface, it is just an ordinary state religion tower, but he picked up the list provided by Wild Snake, grabbed a senior old acolyte who pretended to be a priest, and pointed his relic pistol at the poor man.
"You running dog, do you know how many heretics I have killed with my gun? Probably more than those your master has seen! Do you want to die with those things, or tell me where your master is, I have something to settle with her!" He scolded harshly.
The old man immediately realized that he was being treated like this by the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guard, and then said. "Miss Nova is always on good terms with you!"
"She hasn't seen the commander-in-chief for half a month, and now her people have seized a batch of vital strategic materials. Are you, the Inquisition, going to be disloyal to the Emperor!" The Catachan sergeant scolded him, and the old man also realized that the situation was out of control, and quickly signaled the barbarians of the Imperial Guard to shut up, so as not to let the Inquisition branch, which was feared and hated by the heretics, be discovered.
Then he immediately took out his small badge, walked into the tower, and started the elevator, but when the badge entered it, the elevator went down abnormally and opened into a basement.
Ailanbaier had to think that the Inquisition was probably a reincarnation of rats, and each of them liked to hide in secret cellars and had three burrows.
This area, which is about 300 square meters and filled with all kinds of strange objects, has all kinds of complicated rooms, where countless robed people are hurrying with all kinds of brown papers, and there are several flying servo skulls around.
When several skulls saw Alan Baier coming, their red eyes scanned empty, circled around him, flew slowly, and then projected a holographic projection, which showed Miss Nova and a strange blond man wearing a judge's leather jacket, a big hat, and a black cloak, sitting face to face in a beautiful office as if negotiating.
The holographic image made a sound, and it was the man who spoke. His hair was very long and his face was gloomy, but his hair color could not be seen. He was probably blond, and his standard imperial aristocratic appearance was disgusting. "Isn't this the great commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guard? Judge Nova, your intelligence network needs to be cleaned up." He was not surprised, and pointed out that there was a problem within Nova.
Nova also spoke. "I deliberately asked my men to inform Mr. Alanbair because I couldn't convince you that the Imperial Guards were not heretics. Their behavior might be a little extreme, but you can't deny that they recovered relic a2834."
"So what? This is probably a heretic's self-torture! I can also cut off one arm for the Emperor, and with so many changes here, my only suggestion is the extermination order!"
"But those stupid Imperial Navy, they don't obey my rose knot. I think the commander-in-chief, the former Sun Lord has used mind control magic to dominate them. They dared to resist the pure flame! And you, Inquisitor Nova, have been tricked!" His powerful rebuttal, although it was nonsense, was indeed easy to be confused at first.
And Alanbair just answered. "So it was you, a big rodent, who did this. You are an extremist Inquisitor. I don't care about your doctrines or positions. Now, I just want those two cannons. You have no right to detain them."
"If the Inquisition is still stubborn, I think the Imperial Guard can also use force to liberate the blockade. Although my main force is not there, that world was also liberated by us."
The man replied. "Why, don't you think the Inquisition's control is not as good as yours?"
Alan Baier scolded. "Loande, I know that world. When the Destroying Eagle saved it, your Inquisition was still following the extermination order!"
"If you don't withdraw your detention, I will use the star language to order the garrison there to raid the starport!"
The man shouted. "Then come on, heretic!"
Alan Baier replied. "Okay, you big hat heretic!"
