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

Leon pinched his chin, thinking about what Mirabelles had said.

"Giving up on guiding the birth of the ancient dragon sounds like you've suffered a great loss."

"Not entirely. This remnant of the Astartes has no future. They are unable to transform into new warriors, so they are destined to become sacrifices for others."

"But if you bring them back to the starry sea, they'll have a new source of soldiers, and they'll continuously provide new struggles for this planet. Let me think about it, let's call them hunters according to their internal honor."

"To me, the changes that hunters can bring are far more important than an ancient dragon. As long as we can strike a good balance between these people and the original ecosystem, I believe they will bring about some... mutually beneficial changes."

"But I don't need your permission to take them away. This planet's depleted ecosystem doesn't have many overlord-level creatures left, right?" Leon pointed out the problem sharply. "I've already reached the Milky Way, and there's not even a single ancient dragon. What can you do?"

“That’s why it’s called collaboration.”

Black Dragon was full of confidence. He looked like he had Leon defeated and placed the Flying Dragon Blade Hongye in front of Leon.

"It's a marvelous weapon, isn't it? The soul of a beast is hammered into the iron, and even the moves and combat techniques are hidden within the soul of this weapon. Not even the ancient saints of the past could have imagined such a structure."

"I hate forging a dragon's life into a weapon. It's a blasphemy against their savage souls, but this weapon strikes a delicate balance between the two."

"Unfortunately, those hunters are still unable to fully utilize the properties of this weapon. Without psychic powers, they cannot feel the souls surging within the weapon. However, I can use the souls within the weapon, which originally belonged to me, to guide them and help them unleash the true properties of these weapons."

"Hiss? So that Dragon Ascend..."

Leon was curious about how the dragon-ascending move was performed. He originally thought it was the assistance of the World Soul, but he didn't expect it to be the ability built into the weapon.

However, when I think about the fact that the protagonist in Monster Hunter can use all the moves as soon as he gets the weapon, I think the setting of having a built-in instruction manual is quite reasonable.

However, psychic power is required to guide these moves. No wonder it didn't seem special when I first created the Flying Dragon Sword Red Leaf. It turns out it was hidden here?

Leon has mastered the forging knowledge of Monster Hunter. Now he is no longer limited to using materials from monsters on this planet to forge anything he wants, but the ability to use psychic powers to unleash weapons is always a threshold.

Aside from the Grey Knights, whose numbers are still elusive, no other Chapter can boast a full Think Tank. Given this, the use of such weapons truly requires the voluntary guidance of a World Soul...

Seeing that Leon was already a little tempted, Mirabelles pressed on: "Not only that, after returning to the Galaxy, you can also train their qualified and newcomers with me."

"Perhaps you have the means to exorcise the traces of Tzeentch from their gene-seed, but it's definitely not as convenient or systematic as mine. You provide me with hunters who enrich the ecosystem, and I provide you with warriors who can conquer the galaxy. No one will suffer in this partnership."

"Your only requirement is a hunter?" Leon had been convinced, but he still needed to make a final confirmation.

"Increasing the competitiveness of the ecosystem is my top priority. You're winning your future, and so am I. With these hunters who can wield weapons imbued with monster souls, we'll have the foundation to birth more ancient dragons through the trials of blood and fire. When the species on this planet are rich enough, perhaps the original dragon will awaken... That's my goal."

"As for the rest, they're not critical. You can consider them as investments for the future."

The black dragon raised his head. Even though he was in a wrecked space ship, his gaze seemed to be able to penetrate the dome and see the Milky Way above his head and the highest sky far above the Milky Way.

"Your special physique can expel the evils of the Warp and stabilize the real universe. Perhaps you will become the defender of the real universe in the future. Then, I won't have to stir up the Warp storm to protect myself and communicate with the outside world again... But who knows? I am a little bit looking forward to it, but I don't have any expectations."

"But regardless, our common interests now are enough for us to cooperate, between these hunters, and between you and me."

Humans have never believed in aliens, but whether to cooperate does not depend on whether they believe in them or not. Common interests are the most solid foundation.

Besides, the soul of this world is completely focused on tinkering with his own dragon species.

The dragon species does not seem to be the kind of intelligent creatures that would expand outward and demand galactic hegemony, which means that there should be few potential conflicts of interest between the Black Dragon and Leon.

Perhaps when Huangpizi threw himself onto this planet, he had already anticipated this outcome?

Leon didn't know the answer, just as he didn't know whether the being sitting on the Golden Throne was a human or a god. But from the same pragmatic perspective as that person, he had no reason to refuse this cooperation.

"Then it will be a pleasure to cooperate."

Leon stretched out his hand towards Miraberias, and the black dragon responded.

"Yes, it's a pleasure to work with you. I don't think it will be unpleasant either."

A world soul born from the era of War in Heaven, a traverser with a physique similar to that of a star god, and a group of monster hunters gathered from all over the place... Le Ang, who had solved some of the mysteries, suddenly had an alliance that challenged his imagination.

Although there are still more mysteries surrounding him, he believes that now, a hundred years after he came to the Warhammer world, he has finally taken a solid step forward.

Chapter 41: Departure

Blue star, low Earth orbit.

More than half a year has passed since the agreement was reached with the black dragon Miraberias. During this period, Leon has been busy with the construction of the spacecraft.

When this ship, which was about 750 meters long and almost the same size as a Sword-class frigate but had no long-range weapons, was sent into space orbit by Leon from the ground, Leon, who was standing on the bridge of the ship and had checked the reliability of all the equipment, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"I can even rub this out with my hands... What? I'm pretty good at it."

The Empire's technology has always been famous in the universe for its simplicity and crudeness. Even a hive world can build a standard moon-class cruiser. However, no matter how simple it is, a planet without any trace of technology will turn into hell in the blink of an eye.

It's not that Leon hadn't thought about asking the Black Dragon for help, but this World Soul who talked eloquently about the Warp showed a beauty that was not polluted by knowledge when talking about technology. The only information he could provide to Leon was that he was so stupid that he definitely had nothing to do with Tzeentch.

Leon could only rely on himself to experience the beauty of picking up trash on a planet that was not even a wasteland. Even with the subspace engine removed when his escape ship crashed, it took Leon almost half a year to piece together a ship that could normally navigate the subspace.

From now on, I have no right to blame this family for picking up trash instead of looking for their son. After all, it didn’t take them more than half a year to find their son.

But then again, the ship he made is much more powerful than a simple wasteland-style ship.

Although this ship is only 750 meters long, the keel on it is not an adjective, but a real keel.

Leon had originally considered using the keel of a hulk from a spaceship as the base, but the keel used for the kilometer-long forged ship was completely different from the keel used for the small boat Leon was building. This forced Leon, who could only scrape the adamantine parts from the hulk, to consider using other materials as a substitute.

After some testing, he found that only the spines of large dragon species met the strength requirements of the ship's keel, and the dragon spine spliced ​​together from head to tail with molten refined gold became the only choice for building this ship.

As for the extra dragon skulls, Leon simply placed them on the bow as rams. As the only weapon on the ship that could be considered a means of attack, Leon even ingeniously painted the rams red.

As for the propulsion method of this ship in the real universe, Leon wanted to install the plasma engine removed from his escape ship, but the size difference between the two ships was too large, and only a small plasma engine would definitely be powerless.

Fortunately, Mirabereas was not completely useless. After understanding Leon's needs, he provided Leon with a material that could be used as an engine.

To be precise, they are the wings of an ancient dragon called the Sky Comet Dragon.

This type of Sky Comet Dragon does not rely on flapping wings to fly. Each of their wings has three huge nozzles at the end. They will transform their own creatures into a violent eruption reaction in the nozzles of the wings, thereby obtaining huge recoil force to fly at high speed.

According to Miraberias, this ancient dragon, with its extremely fast speed and strong combat power, was once the first choice of the Ancient Saints to raid small groups of Necrons during the War in Heaven. However, with the degradation of the ecology, this ancient dragon has become extinct on the Blue Star.

The Black Dragon originally left behind a little sample of the Sky Comet Dragon in anticipation of a future opportunity to evolve the Sky Comet Dragon from the ecosystem, but this sample has now become a helper for Leon to build the spacecraft.

Although he still didn't understand why the Second Legion's gene seed could unlock some Zerg design drawings, thanks to this, Leon had already initially mastered some alien biological technologies.

Using this technology, he spliced ​​several activated Sky Comet Dragon wings onto the spacecraft, using them as conventional engines. He also created a biological interface for the wings, and the flesh and blood imported from the interface would be converted into the bioenergy required by the Sky Comet Dragon wings, which would be used by the Sky Comet Dragon engine.

In this way, a strange-looking spaceship with a red dragon head horn, a keel paved by the dragon spine, and an engine made of flesh and blood was born in Leon's hands.

Li Ang decided to name it "Hunter".

But the completed "Hunter" looked strange no matter how you looked at it. Leon stared at it for a long time and felt that this thing was more like a demon engine from the subspace than a spaceship.

Perhaps the shape of a ship corrupted by Chaos is not as exaggerated as this one, but at least it can fly... and that's enough.

-

However, in the past six months, Leon has not only been doing large-scale construction. Thanks to the materials and guidance provided by the World Soul, the weapons in Monster Hunter have gradually become popular among Space Marines.

When Black Dragon asked for an investment, Li Ang was naturally not polite. He could bargain with Black Dragon for high-quality materials, but he was not polite when it came to materials that could be obtained through hunting.

He fooled the black dragon with some empty promises, and then took away as much unique resources as he could from the planet as possible within the range that the black dragon could tolerate. Even the few remaining lord-level creatures on the planet were taken away by Leon, who took a few that he could defeat.

This act of eating up the entire family finally forced Black Dragon to confirm to Li Ang:

"You'll definitely come back, right?"

"Don't worry." Li Ang assured: "My greatest characteristic is that I never break my promises or breach my contracts."

“How exactly is it done?”

"Now that the creditor is gone, there's no default. This is a valuable lesson I learned on Huangquan No. 8."

"?"

"How else do you think I managed to climb to the position of Sage on Huangquan No. 8? But don't worry, I can't kill you after all, so you don't have to worry about the risk of me breaking my contract."

Perhaps these heartfelt words were unexpectedly persuasive, and Black Dragon tacitly allowed Leon to search the planet for unique materials. The mass production of Monster Hunter weapons was one of the products of this search.

Although the materials used for these weapons are not as precious as the Flying Dragon Blade and Red Leaf, and Leon currently lacks the tools to combine these weapons with the original technology of Warhammer, it is enough to make the warriors who originally mostly only had chainsaw swords enjoy it.

But the warriors' styles have become quite strange...

Leon put aside his thoughts for the moment. After completing the sea trial, he ordered the Felyne to maneuver the ship back to the Astartes camp on the ground. Since this was not the first sea trial, the Space Marines on the ground paid no attention to the takeoff and landing, continuing their training in the camp.

"Shield Axe, release!"

Having parried an attack, Astarte combined his shield and sword into an axe, spun to increase the force of his blow, and then slashed with the axe blade. But Instructor Arlo, sparring with him, wielding a one-handed sword and a small buckler, remained unfazed.

The disadvantage of his weapon had honed his keen sense of detail. He dodged the fierce blow simply by turning sideways, then with incredible agility, he rolled to close the distance and counterattacked with his one-handed sword.

In an instant, dozens of blade flashes appeared on the power armor of the Astartes wielding the shield axe! And then...

Then only a few scratches were left.

Seeing this scene, Leon, who had just disembarked from the spaceship, was speechless. Fortunately, Amidel, who had arrived, didn't let him remain embarrassed for too long while watching the sparring.

"How was the trial voyage? Is the spacecraft okay?" asked Amidel who arrived.

"We've completed all the airworthiness tests. Have everyone prepare. We can depart today. Regarding the rest of the arrangements on this planet, just follow our previous agreement."

Half a year ago, the black dragon Mirabereas, who had been using Amidel's body, returned the body to Amidel after making a cooperation agreement with Leon.

Amidel, who had no idea what was going on, thought that his loss of consciousness after recovering from a serious injury was caused by a defect in the gene seed, and did not dare to ask any more questions. Leon did not explain to them that he had reached a cooperation with the Soul of the World.

He kept this as his own little secret, and then informed the others that the problem with their gene-seed had been alleviated by thousands of years of fighting on this planet, and it was safe to return to the galaxy.

Everyone who heard the news was naturally very excited. Only Hunter Fearless seemed to have noticed something, but he did not mention it.

He probably wanted to maintain a tacit understanding with Leon that they both had some little secrets.

However, the minor details with little secrets did not affect Leon's general direction in the past six months. He first expanded the camp into a monastery for training new recruits, and then began to train the smarter Felynes to identify navigation operations and divination instruments.

In addition, Leon, who stole a lot of materials from the black dragon, also did not miss some equipment that only the Felyns could use, such as the dragon bone hammer that could stun monsters and the motivational horn that could buff hunters. He made them and tested them.

After testing, Leon discovered that these devices could only function through the psychic powers possessed by Fey. Although he didn't know when they would be useful, he still made a batch of these devices as a secret weapon that only Fey could use.

Everything was ready along with the spaceship he had created, and now it was time to pick up all the personnel on board.

The Astartes, having received the notice, boarded the spaceship along with the Fey cats, carrying their bags. After packing their belongings, a group of Fey cats, led by the cat grandmother, withdrew. They would be responsible for the basic maintenance of the camp and the monastery in the coming days, awaiting the return of the first batch of recruits.

The remaining Felynx who boarded the ship took the initiative to take over the maintenance of various equipment on the battleship - the machine spirit liked these little guys very much. By having them do the maintenance instead of him, a soulless mechanical priest, the probability of equipment problems could be minimized.

After settling the battle brothers, everyone except the sleeping Dreadnought, who was the leader of the chapter, came to the bridge with Leon. Leon opened the Thinker system on the bridge and began to summarize the current situation:

"Let's discuss our future direction. The entire company, including the Hunters and Dreadnoughts, currently has a total of one hundred Battle Brothers. Thanks to the help of the Felynx, we didn't lose any men in the battle against the Silver Rathalos, but half of them have suffered varying degrees of injuries. Some have damaged their hearts and lungs, while others are missing limbs. These are issues we need to address."

Unique genes have endowed the Second Legion's warriors with resilient bodies on the Blue Planet. However, with the exception of Armidale, who was forced to do so, the other warriors were reluctant to use their "gifts" to repair their bodies. This made healing these warriors a top priority.

The superhuman organs of the Astartes were all implanted after birth, which meant that damaged organs could be easily repaired. Most chapters would have spare superhuman organs stored within them, but who made Leon and his men special?

"Maybe we can steal someone else's spare organ?"

The proposal was made by Lieutenant Vigan, who obviously did not want to have direct contact with the imperial officials, but the proposal was quickly rejected by Adjutant Aibo.

"Missing limbs doesn't affect survival, but it does affect combat effectiveness. With our current strength, if we were to attack other warbands or gangs, let alone whether we could find a suitable target, even if we did find one and successfully launched a sneak attack, I don't think we could escape unscathed."

"Adjutant Aibo's words make sense. Every one of us brothers is precious, and we cannot take unnecessary risks."

Armidale agreed with Aibo's statement. "In that case, we can only consider safer options, such as finding a slightly larger forge world. Whether it's a superhuman organ or a mechanical prosthesis, a larger forge world will always have one of them."

"But is a larger forging world really safe? We are currently undocumented individuals with no official identity. This aspect will be easily discovered, right?" Sergeant Arlo fully utilized his insight as a one-handed sword hunter and pointed out the problem sharply.

"It doesn't matter. The Mechanicus today is different from yours. As long as we can provide resources, they don't care who they do business with."

Leon simply answered Arlo's concerns: "But the question is... do we have any resources on hand that can be exchanged?"

The answer was naturally nothing. As soon as the question was asked, the entire discussion atmosphere became silent.

Leon could have passed his technology off as STC to Forge World in exchange for resources, but he wasn't planning on doing so. Trading unique knowledge for resources was inherently wasteful, and with the added risk of being ripped off by the Forge World, it wasn't a deal worth considering.

Of course, raising this question does not mean that Li Ang is helpless in the current situation. He is just using this little trick to introduce his next proposal.

Seeing that no one could answer his question, Li Ang naturally changed the topic to the direction he wanted.

"Just like the agreement I reached with Hunter Fearless earlier, since you're all following me, I'll naturally find a way for you. Not only will we be able to obtain Superman organs to heal our wounds, but even obtaining official Chapter status will be within easy reach in our upcoming plans. However, all of this requires your complete trust and cooperation."

After Fearless fell asleep, Leon, who was familiar with the current environment, knew the Second Legion inside and out, and had reached an agreement with Fearless, had become the actual leader of this company.

But it is not just about making these soldiers obey orders. If you want to achieve seamless coordination, you must dispel all their concerns.

"It's not that I doubt you, Father Leon."

Armidale stared at Leon seriously. "Some things sound so tempting that they make people believe they are a trap."
