The Bizarre Adventures of the Oil Man, but Starting with Warhammer 32K

Leon shook hands with Hayes, and neither of them continued on this topic.

After becoming the commander-in-chief of the empire, Udo will not leave Terra. Compared to Kurland, who he will definitely meet again on the battlefield, this meeting with Udo may be a farewell forever.

Intuition tells him that Udo Leon will definitely return to Terra, but the life span of mortals is too short. Who knows if he will still be alive then?

Aside from the Forge General, no High Lord on Terra lived very long.

He did not talk to Leon about their past experiences together. After all the handovers were completed, he waved his hand and left Leon's transport fleet.

There was nothing more important on Terra.

"Let's set sail."

Li Ang ordered.

The plasma engines were ignited, and the fleet of more than thirty heavy merchant ships set sail, their tail flames drawing a blue trail in Terra's orbit.

Hayes looked up at the fleet. Before he knew it, a figure quietly approached him.

Hayes glanced at him. "Vangolich."

"he's gone?"

"Of course, you regret not meeting him?"

"Not really. I'm just curious about what he plans to do after he leaves."

The number of people Leon had taken was just a tiny fraction of the entire empire, but Hayes was certain he would shine with a brilliance no one else could match: "It's definitely not simple anyway."

"Are you so sure, Hayes?"

"Of course, I've witnessed this countless times since I was convinced by him on Maxim."

He looked at the fleet going away, thinking about the future that he could not see.

What kind of great achievements will such a person create in the future?

Chapter 236: Things in the Warp are always so bad.

The process of navigating the warp is always dull and tedious.

To ensure safety, the warship will lower all side ships to prevent any crew members from going mad after witnessing the strangeness of the warp.

In fact, even if you can see it, there is nothing to see. Only psychics can see the so-called "scenery" in the warp.

It is the navigator's job to use these "sceneries" to determine the direction of the warship.

However, there was no navigator on Leon's forging ship.

Since the Blue Planet, Leon's voyages have always relied on the Mechanicus's subspace observation equipment. From the time Maxim arrived at the Covenant Port, Isaga temporarily served as the navigator.

This is nothing, after all, the subspace channels near Terra are the most detailed ones known to humans.

As long as they use observation equipment and the records of the Mandeville points in these star regions, they can successfully complete the warp navigation even without a navigator.

Many small merchant fleets that do not have and only run fixed trade routes do this - there are not so many navigators assigned to them within the empire.

There were navigators in Holo's large merchant fleet, but Leon did not ask these navigators to lead the way.

He didn't fully trust Holo yet, so naturally he wouldn't use her manpower.

Anyway, Maxim, the place he was heading to, was already recorded on Leon's star map, and Huangquan No. 8, the place he was heading to later, was Leon's mother's home. He didn't need a navigator at all.

He provided the relevant data to the captain and told him to sail according to the data. All that was left to do was wait for arrival at the destination.

Bored, Leon inspected the situation on the ship.

Xie Ri was tinkering with his scrap. Urquidex was currently overseeing production on the forge. Cooper and Armidale were leading their teams on patrolling various merchant ships, finding nothing unusual. Joan of Arc, mindful of Leon's request not to preach to more people, was preaching to the Crusaders.

There was nothing special about these, but what was special was Larry who was muttering something in the secret room.

This Eldar buffoon is now one of Leon's followers, and his previous plan to disrupt the High Lords' plot on Terra also relied on his contribution.

To be honest, Li Ang didn't know what was wrong with this clown.

From his communication with the other party, he learned that the other party was a staunch believer in Inieted, the Eldar god of death. He believed that Inieted, the unborn Eldar god, would bring the Eldar an end that would allow them to escape the entanglement of Slaanesh.

Li Ang declined to comment on this idea.

After all, what kind of fool would want to defeat the enemy at the cost of his own eternal death?

But Larriel proved that not only did it exist, but there were also many Eldar who had this idea.

In the past, the Eldar did not truly die, their souls would simply travel through the Warp before being reincarnated.

However, the birth of Slaanesh changed all of this. As soon as he emerged, he absorbed most of the Eldar souls and monopolized their management. Once the Eldar souls re-entered the Warp, they would not be reincarnated, but would be captured by Slaanesh and never be reborn.

In terms of his control over the souls of the Eldar, Slaanesh is undoubtedly an Eldar god. Unfortunately, this god only brings endless pain and torture to the Eldar.

So some of the Eldar began to desire eternal death, that is, eternal peace after death without entering the warp.

The Soul Stone partially satisfies this need, but once the vessel is broken, they still have to face Slaanesh. Therefore, the desire for eternal death has always existed among the Eldar.

This is also the reason why Larry chose to follow Leon.

Li Ang now knows that after completely draining the spiritual energy from the soul stone, the soul inside will be reduced to ashes without a trace, ushering in complete death.

The clown thus determined that the "Nothingness" mentioned by the great prophet Leon was the incarnation of the four gods Inieyad, and at least he also mastered some of Inieyad's power.

He followed Leon, hoping to use Leon's power to bring eternal peace to more of his companions.

Leon had heard about the deeds of the Eldar Death Army who saved Guilliman in later generations, and he probably understood that Iniered's way of saving the Eldar was definitely not to let the Soul Stone be eaten up like he did.

In 32K, when the Death God had yet to take shape, there were many different interpretations of the Death God Aeneid among the Eldar. Laril was clearly the "leader" among these interpretations.

Li Ang didn't mind his misunderstanding, nor did he intend to make the matter clear.

After all, soul stones are essential for Protoss technology.

It seems the Yiwu wholesaler Vashtol can forge Soul Stones, but he hasn't reappeared. Aside from the Victor Soul Stone, which he now has unlimited use, Li Ang has no way to further verify his suspicions.

In this case, the Eldar are undoubtedly a stable supply channel.

It was hard to say how much loyalty was in Larry's desire, but as long as there was a reason, Larry was useful to Leon.

Wow, there are people who ask me to harvest them?

Is there such a good thing?

After a series of combined punches, Li Ang's thinking has shifted to promoting the sustainable development of soul stones.

However, he also knew that he would not have any contact with the elves in the short term, so these matters could be discussed later.

If there is anything that can bring changes to Leon's men in the short term, it is only the Lucifer Black Guards that Hayes brought to him.

Mercado was training the former Lucifer Black Guards with the weapons Leon had given them.

These outstanding warriors, besides their exceptional combat prowess, also received a good education. If one must use an analogy, they are the beggars' equivalent of the Imperial Guard.

In the world of Warhammer, being educated was already a rare thing. Given their qualifications, even if they had no talent for command, they could basically be transferred to the ordinary Astra Militarum and become company commanders.

Although it still needs to undergo certain testing and polishing, Leon has already planned to use these Lucifer Black Guards as the framework for reforming the Undead Army.

Colonel William, who is currently in charge of commanding the Undead Army, is not doing a bad job, he is just too conventional.

Previously a mere Colonel PDF, many of his tactics seemed overly rigid. The Empire's guiding philosophy of building strongholds and engaging in rudimentary battles had become ingrained in him, making it difficult for him to fully utilize the flexibility that Leon envisioned for the Undead Army.

Previously, during the Battle Moon, Hayes had used them as a fire brigade to cover up his backwardness in this area. Now that only William was left, the problem became quite obvious.

Perhaps these Lucifer Black Guards can inject a different kind of vitality into the Undead Army.

As for William, the traditional Astra Militarum structure is still necessary.

Future development is also inseparable from the formation of PDF as the local force of each planet, and I think he will not be without use.

After considering this issue, the only thing Leon could do was to try to tinker with the data floppy disk that Kohl gave him.

He deciphered the data on the floppy disk and found that it was mainly information about Belisarius's furnace.

Of course - this thing is not called the Belisarius Furnace yet.

Until this technology is fully perfected, the always arrogant and conceited Kaul will not use his own name to name this technology.

Even the unnamed experimental version had similar functionality. No wonder Cawl said the benchmark for this technology was whether it could revive a severely injured Space Marine.

Unlike tendon cables, it is still a purely semi-finished product.

The design of the tendon cable used as the implant is largely complete; the only consideration remains the soldier's tolerance. The furnace itself presents numerous challenges. Leon reviewed the information Cawl provided him and discovered that the primary issue is that the repair chemicals secreted by the furnace upon activation can compress other organs within the Space Marine's body.

The Crucible now acts like a souped-up adrenaline shot, giving a dying warrior one last fighting burst, rather than allowing the Astartes to urgently repair their injuries upon awakening.

"What went wrong?"

Leon was curious about why the furnace had completely failed to achieve its design purpose. After a brief experiment, he discovered that the furnace was too sensitive.

This organ is prone to wear and tear, and in later times, the Belisarius Forge remained dormant, activated only when a Primaris Astartes suffered a severe mental shock or severe physical trauma. However, the current experimental version of the forge was not yet capable of such flexible control.

Li Ang finally identified the problem.

"Kawl hasn't gotten his Hymn Pituitary yet?"

The three newly added surgeries include tendon cable, Belisarius furnace and hymn pituitary.

This is a small gland implanted in the core of the brain, augmenting the Astartes' existing organs and maintaining harmony with the new ones. It is also said to grant the Astartes a more rational and cold mindset, freeing them from the effects of the Warp's corruption or blood thirst.

The bodies of the original Astartes are like old computers. Even if they are equipped with the latest accessories, their bodies will not be able to power these new organs because they exceed the load of the power supply itself.

The strict judgment of the activation range of the Belisarius Furnace, coupled with the fact that the original organs have exceeded the "data processing limit" of Astartes' current body, has made the Belisarius Furnace a burden in the case of "memory overflow".

The Holy Hymn Pituitary is said to come from the Emperor's design for the Primarch, so it is normal that Cawl has not fully mastered this technology yet.

But without this thing, Leon couldn't put the furnace into practice.

He tried to use the power of the Void Dragon to see if it would react to this. The result was that the Void Dragon was motionless as if dead, completely unlike the activeness that Leon had shown when developing other technologies before.

It seems that genes, like psychic powers, are not something that the Void Dragon is good at.

If you really ask him if he has any solution, I'm afraid he will just say that these problems can be solved by putting them in a can.

Feeling regretful, Leon could only seal up the furnace technology for the time being.

But Occam came knocking.

"I heard that you have mastered a special transformation technology?"

The Expunged Warband has been inactive since the Battle of Battle Moon.

Leon had no intention of showing Wangorichi that he was cooperating with a renegade warband. In addition, the Assassin's Court already had the Callidus assassin, so this Alpha was not used on Terra.

Occam had been staying on Leon's ship until he took the initiative to find Leon.

Li Ang didn't deny it: "Why are you asking this?"

"In fact, I planned to leave with my warband as soon as I arrived in Maxim."

Li Ang didn't react much.

A trustworthy Alpha is indeed a useful force. But Leon knew that their subjective initiative was strong, and that the ambitious Occam could not be tied to him forever.

His original purpose was to fight poison with poison and help the empire survive the crisis. Now that the Siege of Terra was over, the other party really had no reason to continue following Leon.

"So you plan to settle your payment before you leave? But I have to be clear, I don't have any ship to give you right now."

"I certainly won't force it. In fact, I plan to replace some of the in-kind compensation I should have received with other means."

Occam pointed to the Second Legion Astartes passing by and said, "I want the same enhancements as them."

When mixing among Chaos traitors, the most important thing is always your own strength.

Occam still remembered the performance of these Astartes in the lava city on Mars, and he would not give up such an opportunity to strengthen himself and his warband.

"You want this? It's not impossible, but I'm not sure about your body's tolerance. I might have to cut some of the tendon cables..."

Li Ang suddenly stopped talking halfway through.

The differing emphases of different gene-seeds led to differences in the flesh between Astartes, and even the strongest men like the Hunters were rare among the Astartes. Even with the same enhancements, Leon had to make different adjustments based on the circumstances of each chapter.

As for the specialness of Alpha?

Infiltration, assassination, kidnapping, espionage, and most importantly, the "multiple thinking" ability that is closely related to these duties.

This ability is an evolved version of the Astartes' multi-threaded mind, allowing them to seamlessly switch between personalities and even engage in self-hypnosis.

This means they possess superior thinking abilities to those of ordinary Astartes.

In other words, the CPU's processing capacity is higher?
