Warhammer: Decided to take the route of stars surrounding the warp

(Brothers, the Warhammer official has updated the timeline. The original setting of 42K100 is that Guilliman is still chasing Abaddon. So, let’s move the timeline to 42K500, Abaddon’s Fourteenth Expedition (edited) Bar)

There were very few gunshots on the battlefield. Everyone was saving bullets and no longer shooting needlessly.

The fortress was packed with people, and there were many players climbing on the metal pillars outside.

How to deal with this invulnerable monster? William looked at the leader of the Yifeng Chapter on the highest pillar. How would he deal with it if he were this adult?

Without any ideas, Master Yifeng should be able to tear it into pieces easily.

The only things that can do a lot of damage to it are melt guns and ion guns, but it is difficult to achieve stable shooting. Basically, the only chance is to stop the non-nostic stone snake.

At this time, the giant snake has become more and more familiar with the venue, and it is difficult for it to make the mistake of hitting the wall just now.

Enke is hiding in a high place. He has several options to kill the giant snake, but it is not time to talk about it yet. There are too many people alive. Once the giant snake is killed, it is very likely that his own people will shoot each other. scene.

That situation was very unfavorable for Enke, who only held a small laser pistol.

Enke had already thought about it. As long as he ensured that the killing method would destroy several Sky Eagle emblems, he would immediately run to the finish line.

The nonos stone snake is swimming around, and its powerful body and extremely fast speed mean that he does not need other actions and can kill the enemy by simply bumping into it.

Under normal circumstances, the non-Nostic stone snake in the rock and soil would gnaw its prey and leave after eating, but now in the pure metal steel environment it is extremely violent and eager to tear apart all enemies.

Everything that makes noise is its enemy, including Yifeng who eats melon seeds!

Several times it tried to rush toward Yifeng, but was pulled back by fierce gunfire.

——————————————————————————————————

Fighting is raging on the ground, and important matters are also being debated in heaven.

In fact, as early as when Yifeng and the four left the forging world of Stolov, the Great Apothecary and the Technical Sergeant had already been in contact with the people of the Mechanicus. The transformation of new recruits could not be completed by the Great Apothecary alone. The technical sages of the Mechanicus , especially the biological sage needs to spend a lot of power and precious resources in reserve to complete such a huge task with the cooperation of the great pharmacist. The next transformation of a hundred recruits will be extremely difficult based on the current situation alone. Do.

Although everyone wants to transform a large number of new recruits at one go, the Forge World here is not specialized in Astartes transformation technology. They have joined forces with Situ Val to transform a hundred people in one round, which is the limit.

The Will of the Storm actually "ordered" these organs to restore the number of its own combatants before, so Stolov now has some in stock, but the Mechanical Archbishop refuses to say anything. This is the most important confidence and bargaining chip.

"Well, we can provide the supplies you need within the specified time, but the price~~~~"

Obviously, a condition was proposed that shocked everyone.

If we really get the full support of the Forge World, then this Forge World needs to completely convert all things related to the Astartes.

For the Empire, if it is a true large-scale army construction, it will take about 3 years for the Empire to prepare. The foundry worlds designated by the Empire will begin to cast all the armaments and materials needed for a new battle group, including battle barges. (According to standard, a complete Astartes Chapter has battle barges or other substitutes), different numbers of strike cruisers and various transport ships, frigates and other warships, as well as the recruitment of mortal troops and their armaments manufacturing and so on.

This will bring together the power of the entire empire. Even the power of one star field cannot support a complete army building operation.

But now it is obvious that instead of building a whole new legion, everyone already has the battle barge that can be used as the Astartes Monastery, and the mortal auxiliary army and equipment are also donated by the Angel of Dawn. What they need now is other transformation surgeries in addition to gene seeds. Supplies, even power armor can be temporarily without.

Create new soldiers first, and the rest can come later.

The Stolov world had already begun to speed up the production of these creatures when it heard that the Astartes Chapter had suffered heavy casualties. However, because the "price" had not been agreed upon, it did not start production at full capacity.

After all, the armament of the newly recruited Skitarii also consumes a lot of power.

Transforming an Astartes takes a minimum of 4 years and a maximum of 8 years, depending on the boys' individual constitution. (The first reconstructive surgery is performed between the ages of 10 and 12, and the 19th surgery is performed between the ages of 16 and 18.)

If you want to transform into a Primaris Astartes, it will take longer. (Three more surgeries)

The good news is that Primaris Astartes can be modified from ordinary Astartes. In other words, Yifeng does not need to rush for success. He can transform into an ordinary space warrior first, and then continue the surgery when conditions permit.

First, there are enough people to restore the war group to a certain number. The more people there are, the greater the possibility that they will become a new war group according to the empire officials instead of merging into other war groups.

Secondly, if they were transformed into Primaris warriors, then each round of transformation would take up to twelve years, but it would only take ten years to get another batch of biological organs, so there was no reason to keep the organs in the refrigerator.

At the same time, the first batch of people who have completed the transformation can start to learn the relevant knowledge required by pharmacists and technical sergeants, and they can become pharmacists a few years earlier if they are born a few years earlier.

There are actually very few people like Yifeng who are directly transformed into Primaris Astartes. When 42K just started, all war groups would transform veterans after receiving them and after surgery to enhance their strength. Now several years have passed. Ten years ago, Belisarius Caul, the great sage of the Mechanicus, once again improved the surgery and improved the success rate, which greatly increased the probability of creating a Primaris Space Marine in one go.

However, in such a short period of time, only asking a forging world to provide the biological organs of 100 recruits, even including the materials previously "ordered" by the Stormwill Chapter, requires Storov to produce and provide them now under very extreme circumstances. Just fine.

Therefore, the progress of building warships is bound to come to a halt, which means that Dawn Angel's orders will not be completed on time.

"Either you help us pay the liquidated damages, or some of the battleships you ordered will be transferred to the Angels of Dawn." The original words of the Mechanicus were like this, followed by strange binary curse words, which seemed to be a sign of stopping the research on the Eldar spacecraft. dissatisfied.

As the selection is coming to an end, the technical sergeants and the grand apothecary have to make the final decision. Only the final order retains one battle barge and one strike cruiser for delivery in 100 years, and the rest are transferred to the Angel of the Dawn Chapter. .

When the Mechanical Archbishop heard this, he laughed so much that his engine oil dropped. If it was a regular imperial process, they would need to help the Red Torrent Chapter "free of charge" (at least it would not be paid by the Chapter), but in the current situation, this is equivalent to a battle ship Barges and a strike cruiser were exchanged for the Eldar treasure.

Earn money with blood, make a lot of money.

The biosages immediately began to increase their workload, and most of the power of the Forge World was transferred to biological production.

With the inventory originally given to the Stormwill Chapter, they don't actually need such a large production volume, but do you, the Red Torrent, lack a hundred Astartes? No, you are short of nearly a thousand people. Counting the failure of transformation, you need to prepare nearly two thousand sets of biological organs.

Aren’t you going to do it with us in the future? Hehe, the fat sheep must be shaved first, then eat the meat, drink soup and chew the marrow.

The Mechanical Archbishop felt that his long-term source of funds was secured.

(In Imperial law, helping unknown Astartes is a major crime. It is most likely a Chaos conspiracy, so this is equivalent to a "black market transaction")

——————————————————————————————————

Yifeng was watching everyone's selection with great interest. Although he felt sorry for the boys' casualties, he also wanted to know what method the boys would eventually adopt to win.

William looked at Yifeng, thinking about countermeasures. Suddenly, William looked at the tallest metal peak (pillar) in the field under Yifeng's feet and the melt gun in his hand, and had an idea.

"Lord Yifeng, can you move to another mountain peak?" William yelled at Yifeng with all his strength. Normally, if a mortal dared to shout like this to a chapter leader, he would have been dragged out and shot for 5 minutes.

But now on the "battlefield", Yifeng still jumped onto another metal pillar handsomely.

William shouted to the people in the fortress again: "I have a way to defeat him, everyone listen."

Although the battlefield was noisy, many people still heard his words.

"What the hell, you can handle this kind of monster."

"I am William's son, everyone listen to me."

Well, it works much better.

"We lured the giant snake to the foot of the metal pillar, then used a melt gun to burn off the metal pillar, pin it down, and then use melt to burn it to death."

Everyone looked at the tall metal pillars. If they used melt, if several melt guns fired at the same time, it might be possible.

"Why are you so sure you can hit it?"

"I need intense shooting as bait to guide it over. Look, where it makes the loudest noise it goes."

For example, now, the non-nostic stone snake is moving towards William, and the boys from the distant battle fortress attract it back with two volleys.

"Why should we help you? We will advance when there are only a hundred people left."

This time William really sneered in return.

"Does Captain Yifeng fancy a coward?"

That's right, the selection competition held to select the bravest, most powerful and fearless space warriors in the empire will eventually admit these cowards who hide in their holes and dare not come out?

The child who asked the question immediately realized that the leader of the Yifeng battle was watching from the field, and was instantly ashamed. He must show his bravery in the next battle.

Enke realized that he could no longer remain silent. William proposed a very feasible method, and as William said, his current performance was not worthy of a Space Marine.

Enke shouted loudly: "I'm here to guide you to the location of the giant snake, and you prepare a trap."

William waved to Xiaolan at the top of the metal pillar, signaling him to come and help with his ion pistol.

Xiaolan is quite optimistic about this person who is in the upper nest. Just because he is willing to cooperate with himself in the lower nest, he is a man with a very broad mind.

Carrying the ion pistol on his back, he slid down the metal pillar.

Compared with a weapon with limited ammunition like a melta gun, the reload capacity of an ion pistol is more mysterious. It is said that it can fire ten rounds, and in most cases it can fire five rounds. Each round is about half a minute apart. After that, If you continue shooting, the probability of "self-explosion" becomes very high, but usually the owner of the ion pistol will die first.

Of course, direct overload shooting is a "machine soul" operation that belongs to the holy object of the battle group, and ordinary ion pistols generally "don't have it".

However, there are also ancient models that have survived from long ago, such as the one that Yifeng used in the war.

Five bullets can knock down 5 relatively small metal pillars.

There were still a lot of boys outside at this time, about 80 of them. Most of the boys outside listened to William's call and joined the battle. Those who are still fighting outside are brave warriors who are always looking for the weaknesses of the non-Norse stone snakes.

Enke always reported the location of the giant snake, and occasionally fired two shots from his laser pistol to attract its attention.

Between the largest metal pillar and the battle fortress closest to this pillar, William and Xiaolan had knocked down four metal pillars and created a simple passage to restrict the progress of the non-nosed stone snake.

As long as the giant snake enters this area, it has only one way to go, and the end of the road is the metal fortress that it just hit.

At this time, the Nonos Stone Snake was in a dilemma. It just had to fuse the largest metal "peak" and smash it down.

William was conducting tactical deployment, and Enke inexplicably became a commander-like presence, directing fire everywhere and constantly pulling the giant snakes in order to keep the non-nosed stone snakes away from William and his "pillar-cutting" brigade.

There are also self-organized "mouthpieces" beside each pillar to convey information.

Yifeng watched them with interest. When they faced the enemy together, everyone could unite as one. So how would they react when the enemy was eliminated?

Through Enke's careful calculation, when William and others prepared the trap, they had to lure the non-Norse stone snake to a similar position. Therefore, most of the time, Enke commanded the fortress and the spontaneously organized guerrillas. Confining the Serpent's position between two other metal fortresses.

William and the others completed the trap, and the non-Norse stone snake was about to pass by the "passage entrance". Enke signaled everyone to get ready.

The moment the giant snake showed its head, huge firepower covered the nonos stone snake. Regardless of whether it was useful or not, the sound was really loud.

The nonos stone snake rushed directly to the fortress in anger. Now it is very violent. Although it has killed many enemies, there are still annoying noises ringing around. Rushing, rushing, I want to knock everything over. .

William and several other melt gun holders quickly started cutting into the tallest metal pillar. One shot per person, almost instantly, 90% of the entire metal pillar was vaporized by the melt. The huge pillar began to slowly fall.

When it first fell, the nonos stone snake violently charged forward. When the pillar fell halfway, the nonos stone snake hesitated. When the pillar was about to hit the nonos stone snake, the giant snake let out a wave. Swimming forward like crazy.

With a "clang", a powerful impact once again hit the metal wall that had been dented by the giant snake before. As expected, the metal wall was completely penetrated. The powerful impact of the giant snake and the fragments of the metal wall instantly destroyed half of the fortress. Many people were killed, and the remaining people were also struggling to survive under the pressure of huge "human flesh".

The fused metal pillar finally hit the nonos stone snake's body heavily.

The parts that were not hit were twisting wildly, except for the head that was stuck in the metal fortress.

The giant snake's big head in the metal fortress wanted to open its mouth and eat human flesh, but when it just opened its mouth, it was fed a mouthful of bullets by the boys who woke up first.

William's melta team moved forward quickly, targeting the connection between his third and second quarters with a steady melta attack, successfully cutting the giant snake into two pieces.

People from the other two fortresses also came here, and the ninety-five people outside quickly cut up the corpses to look for the Sky Eagle emblem, including Enke.

Although a piece of the Sky Eagle emblem was destroyed by the melt, they dug out a piece from the second section of the nonos stone snake's body and quickly ran towards the finish line.

Clam? Ten seriously wounded men trapped in the fortress? Who cares about them? We have to advance first.

There are only four Sky Eagle emblems left and ten seriously wounded people in the fortress. This seems to be an unsolvable situation. Judging from the state of the people inside, it is estimated that they will not be able to push the snake head away and they will probably die inside.

Yifeng was already ready to save them. At worst, he could wait until they recovered from their injuries before having a four-out-of-ten competition.

An ion pistol bullet broke through the other outer wall of the metal fortress. Xiaolan looked at the big hole he made. The edge of the big hole was still super-high temperature red. Some players had already jumped out despite the ultra-high temperature. These major wounds were not on their legs. The child immediately climbed over the metal pillar and took out the remaining Sky Eagle emblem for the final evacuation.

What’s interesting is that when the boy who was originally ranked 100th sat there and broke down crying after searching for a long time and failing to find the Sky Eagle emblem.

However, a clever and seriously injured soldier saw that Yifeng was still on the field and decided to gamble that the Sky Eagle emblem had been destroyed. He dragged his body to the final exit and got the last spot.

Needless to say, various medical staff rushed in to treat the injured. This selection was no different than before. More than a dozen contestants were disabled and needed immediate treatment.

Of course, with today's technological power, this is not a big problem. Some war groups will even perform secret rituals unique to the war group when recruiting new recruits. For example, a certain war group such as the Hand will have a ritual of amputating limbs. .

Of course, the technical sergeant of Shadow Blade said that this was not a big problem. After all, I was here as a professional counterpart. (As a sub-group of the Iron Hands, the Shadow Blades have defects in their gene seeds, resulting in a high probability of disability among recruits. Sales of prosthetic limbs and robotic arms have been very good)

Yifeng finally breathed a sigh of relief. Oh no, another breath was stuck in his throat and he couldn't come out. I feel bad that this Machinery Cult has hacked so many things on me.

This time the selection was too bloody, half of the selectors died.

For these casualties, no one showed too much sadness. My son died fighting hard under the watch of the Chapter Master of the Astartes. He lived up to the dignity of an Imperial man.

The parents and relatives of those who died in the war gained great respect from the people around them. This was also a noble deed that could be written into the family genealogy. Each family held a grand funeral to commemorate these children.

Of course, those who advance are overjoyed. Under normal circumstances, those recruits who fail to transform will not inform their families. For people in this world, the final hundred selected are the final list.

The nobles of Shangchao hosted a banquet for their guests. This kind of thing can last three generations. It is a huge capital that can make their position in Shangchao as stable as Mount Tai.

For example, Archduke William's family allocated funds overnight to build a huge emperor statue for me right in the middle of the desert. The contemporary head of the William family has been smiling like a blooming chrysanthemum for several days. He must hold a banquet and eat delicacies from the mountains and seas for twenty days! (Please keep this secret and don’t tell Xiaolan)

The white-collar workers in Zhongchao learned that their children had passed the final selection of the Astartes Chapter. Many parents fainted with excitement. They would gain great respect and be promoted and raised salary in the days to come. As long as they work. If you do it right, you can become a member of the public.

Enke's friend Frosa has been spotted by the Astra Militarum and is about to enter the General Academy with a bright future.

Children that leave the nest...generally have no father or mother. Only the owner of the steam bar suddenly became very generous and allowed the whole bar to drink freely all day long.
