As long as you die, you are invincible, but in 40K

Priest: Here.

Zhang Ge: I want a Castellan robot, a dune walker, force feedback power armor, and a bolter.

Priest: Here.

When Zhang Ge finally became anxious and proposed conditions that he himself felt were outrageous, he had already accumulated a series of precious equipment including two Poison Blade super-heavy tanks, six various types of underground fighters directly provided by bypassing the Imperial Navy, a large number of Petrified Lizard self-propelled artillery, and Hydra self-propelled anti-aircraft guns.

There are also enough hell guns for one-third of the people, enough force feedback armor and bolt guns to arm hundreds of people, and enough shell armor for thousands of people.

He really couldn't find a reason to refuse, so he could only sign the agreement with a heavy heart.

This means that from this moment on, the 1st Mechanized Infantry Regiment has a Titan Guard of a thousand people and a Combat Sisters force of the same number of thousand people accompanying them at all times, and they also have a large number of weapons and equipment that they shouldn't have had.

At the same time, Zhang Ge's original plan to act like a philistine and a gangster to let other officers break the filter they had for him was completely shattered, and even had the opposite effect, making the officers think that Zhang Ge could even completely disregard his glorious image in order to get equipment, and would not hesitate to break the original high-handed filter just to give his soldiers an extra Hell Gun.

He really made me cry to death.

Moreover, although the theoretical supreme commanders of the three forces are different, according to the agreement, the supreme command authority is concentrated in the hands of Zhang Ge alone.

He couldn't understand why, let alone Amelia, the new commander of this Sisterhood, the Adeptus Mechanicus was willing to accept such harsh conditions? Could a War Titan really go to such lengths?

This directly led to the fact that although the number of people increased several times, the 1st Mechanized Infantry Regiment still maintained a high degree of mechanization due to the Mechanicus's unconditional investment.

Those originally stingy oil men took out things as if their lives depended on it, and the only condition was that at least one-third of the Titan Guards must be able to follow the Titans, and the 1st Mechanized Infantry Regiment must also ensure the safety of the Titans as much as possible.

No, think about it carefully. Are we the ones who guarantee Titan's safety, or are Titans the ones who guarantee our safety?

Of course, what Zhang Ge did not expect was that after the conclusion of the Mechanicus' "Titan Factory" came out, there was an accompanying side discussion.

What if... if that Titan factory were discovered and destroyed by Chaos, or even seized by it? Would the technology on that Titan become a unique and precious technology in the entire Empire? Could some of the identifying information on it help recapture the Chaos-contaminated Titan factory and STC?

Under this assumption, the Titans did not respond to any communication, and a Colonel of the Astra Militarum could not be easily and quietly taken over. What if physically dealing with him angered the Titans instead?

Therefore, the Mechanicus could only hold their noses and try every possible means to strengthen the defense around this Titan, even at the cost of giving away their own products.

After all, even if it was not destroyed, but only some fragile equipment was damaged, the loss would be incalculable.

At the very least, we have to keep this Titan alive until most of its technology is reverse-engineered. As long as we can keep it and wait for the Great Sage Caul to come, everything will be worth it.

If you think about it carefully, although a regiment of 50,000 people may seem large in number, even if it is supplied at all costs, the amount of equipment it can carry is just a drop in the bucket compared to the Astra Militarum and Skitarii on this planet, which are measured in billions. The losses can be made up by simply withholding some supplies from other troops.

Not to mention anything else, a while ago, a Stormtrooper Regiment of the Astra Militarum was basically wiped out by the Eldar. It seemed that Zhang Ge wanted a lot of things, but in fact, just intercepting a batch of things that were supposed to be given to this regiment was enough.

The Mechanicus had originally worried that he would ask for an exorbitant amount of money and demand that the 1st Mechanized Infantry Regiment be transformed into a super-heavy tank regiment on the spot. After all, other equipment was easy to deal with, but it was indeed impossible to mobilize a large number of super-heavy tanks at short notice, even if they were only mass-produced ones.

I didn't expect it was just a small mosquito opening, which caused a false alarm.

However, even so, the 1st Mechanized Infantry Regiment is now only a "regiment" in name, and in reality it is almost the organization of a mechanized army group. The combat effectiveness of some Astra Militarum infantry regiments that have been reduced to only two or three thousand people is probably not as good as the top companies of the 1st Mechanized Infantry Regiment.

While Zhang Ge was dealing with one piece of "good news" after another with a worried look on his face, and could only hope to receive the nuns' judgment as soon as possible, the fleet had already begun to land at a hidden location in the suburbs of Tianying Port.

Transporting a Titan Warrior is no small matter. This secret weapon that can bring endless surprises to the enemy must of course be hidden as much as possible before use so that it can be deployed in the most critical position. The fleet cannot just drive straight into Eagle Port and transport the Titan in.

Chapter 156 Meeting with Calgar and Unbearable Wealth

The suburbs of Skyhawk Port and the suburbs of Akaolan are no longer the same concept. It is a huge ring belt outside the entire metal continent, similar to a special landform surrounding the hive city. One of them is more than enough to hide an entire fleet - of course, if something else is hidden, it will be difficult to find it.

The planned landing area is relatively flat and has few obstacles. Simple ceramic steel platforms are set up to provide the landing location for each ship.

In the sky, the fleet quickly broke through the thick clouds and entered the gloomy suburbs according to the predetermined plan.

Because the clouds were so dense, very little sunlight could penetrate. The temperature dropped sharply and the brightness suddenly dimmed, as if it had suddenly entered night time.

However, due to advance preparations, dozens of straight searchlight beams were shot from below, so the fleet did not lose its direction and landed on the platforms one by one under the guidance of the light.

After gradually stopping their movements, the calmed ships looked like some kind of metal monuments of different shapes, independent of the surrounding environment and neatly arranged.

Inside the cabin.

Zhang Ge finally received the news that the ship had docked, escaping from the ocean of information that was getting bigger and bigger.

After informing the deputy leader through communication that he would be responsible for handling all the matters he had left behind, Zhang Ge hurriedly followed Amelia, who had come to deliver the message, and left the cabin where he was temporarily staying.

Outside the cabin door, the two guards who were assigned wanted to follow Zhang Ge, but he waved his hand to refuse, saying that if so many people couldn't protect themselves, then there would be no use having two more of them. They only needed to be responsible for protecting the documents in the cabin.

After walking for a while, Zhang Ge saw Sister Bryce and the Ever-Victorious Army at the designated exit. They were obviously waiting for Zhang Ge and did not set off in advance. Only after he arrived did the Ever-Victorious Army say:

"Captain Calgar is waiting for us outside. Just don't get angry when you see him. He won't bother you that much."

Calgar, this name is very common in the Empire, but when it comes from the mouth of the Ultramarines in the capacity of Chapter Master, the person referred to is undoubtedly the hero whose reputation resounds throughout the Empire.

Although Zhang Ge couldn't organize any nervousness, he was still curious about this famous chapter leader.

When the exit opened with a slight mechanical sound, the scene that unfolded was somewhat unexpected.

The first thing that caught his eye was the dozen or so victorious soldiers distributed on both sides. There was no need to elaborate on their majestic figures, but there was also a giant who was taller than any of them.

There weren't many decorations on his blue power armor, just some basic gold inlays and emblems. Compared with the surrounding Ever-Victorious Guards who could be described as magnificent, it seemed particularly plain. He didn't even display medals or inscriptions to show his honor.

But after seeing its appearance, you will understand why.

Because the owner of this power armor no longer needs to use external decorations to show his honor, his slightly weathered appearance is enough to remind people of the legendary stories passed down by word of mouth.

Calgar.

Zhang Ge didn't expect to suddenly meet the other person in such an environment.

It's not about seeing a magnificent giant sitting on the throne in a magnificent palace, nor is it about seeing the Emperor's angels descending from the sky on a battlefield full of artillery fire.

If you only look at that face, his lips are tightly pursed, with little blood on his lips, and there are faint wrinkles on his face. His short white hair is stuck to his scalp, and he looks slightly tired overall. He looks like an ordinary middle-aged man with no special features, not the imperial legend told in countless books.

However, after the initial surprise, I felt that this was reasonable.

The current war situation is not optimistic, but defending this planet is a sacred mission personally issued by the Primarch.

He was under too much pressure and too busy.

No possible time can be wasted. There is no time to show off. Not to mention blocking the cabin door to meet everyone in person, if he could do it, he would probably fly up alone.

Without any unnecessary formalities or detours, Calgary's tired yet steady voice rang out the moment everyone appeared:

"Is the situation with Titan true?"

The Ever-Victorious Army beside Zhang Ge no longer had the aura of "the emperor is the boss and I am the second in command". Instead, he put one hand on the hilt of his sword and became a member of the Chapter Master's guard at this moment, and quickly responded:

"true."

"very good."

Hearing the good news, Calgar nodded slightly.

A complete War Titan is good news no matter what kind of battlefield it is on. The significance it represents is so great that it is even no less than the sudden emergence of a complete new regiment arriving on the battlefield to provide support.

The other one of the opponent's eyes had been transformed into a red electronic eye, and the only remaining one was looking at Zhang Ge.

"If the Titans must rely on your orders to fight, are you willing to return to the front lines?"

Of course, there was no need to hesitate about this frame, so I replied:

"Of course, but..."

Before he could finish his words, he heard Calgar interrupt him:

"My intuition tells me that you can be trusted. I'll give you five days to rest and recuperate. After that, I'll give you a new mission. Tell me your regiment number and the number of people in it."

Intuition, this mysterious word has an alarmingly high accuracy in this universe. Calgar used his intuition to accurately identify every Genestealer member hidden in the parliament.

"Astra Militarum Akauran 1st Mechanized Infantry Regiment, 50,000 men."

Calgar didn't even bother to ask about this unfamiliar organization. Although Zhang Ge knew that the Chapter Master would definitely not forget which Astra Militarum Legions participated in the battle, and was even prepared to be questioned, Calgar simply said:

"I will provide you with a new batch of equipment according to the standards of a 50,000-man Interstellar Army Corps, and another batch of supplies before departure. You will be informed of your base and other matters within the next five days. If you have any other needs, please speak to the person you are contacting. Disbanded."

After saying this, Calgar took the Space Marines on the ship away without any reluctance, as if he had never appeared, ending this short conversation.

Only Zhang Ge was left speechless.

Don’t give it to me, don’t give it to me. We really can’t hold it all. Brother, I gave you weapons and equipment for 50,000 people without even blinking an eye. Do you think I’m going to waste military resources like this?

Although he could understand that this was not just about supplies, and that a Celestial Army Corps that brought back a Titan must be rewarded as a commendation, he thought about how he had no shortage of equipment to begin with, and how he had already received some after getting off the ship, and then thought about the equipment that was about to be delivered.

It's a bit unbearable to be rich again. Let alone 50,000 people, even expanding it by 50,000 infantry is more than enough.

Chapter 157: Belated Review and Absolute Trust

Because the conversation with Calgar was too brief, the others who were just beginning to disembark from the ship did not even have the chance to meet the legendary chapter leader.

However, there was not much room for regrets - facing the unfamiliar environment, the nobles of Akaolan found that everything they had relied on was gone. Compared to those illusory things, they cared more about how to survive in the future.

Of course, Zhang Ge didn't care about these at the moment. After meeting Calgar and satisfying his curiosity, he was taken on the Valkyrie he had been riding.

Although even the Space Marines seemed to have believed Zhang Ge, what moved him was that Sister Bryce still maintained a serious and responsible attitude and insisted on taking him for an examination.

All I can say is that they are professional combat nuns after all, so they are more trustworthy than those amateurs.

After testing the communication and finding that the interference in Tianying Port was minimal and that information could be transmitted in time, Zhang Ge acted first and reported later, conveying through the communication that as a sign of sincerity, he would go alone to be interrogated.

He even pretended to be entrusting his son to someone else, handing over all the affairs and decision-making power to others in the cabin.

If there is no problem - considering the attitude of the battle sisters towards the subjects of investigation, the possibility is very small - then they will be informed through the sound array immediately.

At this moment, there were three senior nuns sitting around Zhang Ge. Although Heloise was demoted one level, she was originally a senior nun mentor, and even if she was demoted one level, she would still be a senior nun commander.

For an ordinary person, the psychological pressure brought by a circle of nuns might be enough to make them nervous, not to mention the scrutiny that would come soon.

But the one sitting here at the moment was Zhang Ge, and he just felt relieved.

I even managed to relax for a rare moment and had the leisure to admire the armor on the nuns sitting next to me.

In the slight feeling of weightlessness during takeoff, at first glance, those seemingly uniform force feedback armors are actually different in various ways. The large number of artistic decorations including reliefs make each set of power armor a unique work of art.

The production of chess pieces and artwork requires cost considerations, but when it comes to this world, the cost of surface decoration is negligible when it comes to manufacturing power armor, so it can be stacked layer by layer without any scruples.

Putting aside his own desire to die, Zhang Ge actually quite likes these armors that can turn mortals into supermen.

The size of Eagle Harbor is astonishing, but after all, we are sitting in an aircraft that can easily fly at supersonic speeds. Amidst such mixed thoughts, we did not have to wait too long before the arrival destination prompt sounded softly in the cabin.

As the hatch slowly opened, Zhang Ge stood in front of Amelia calmly and left the Valkyrie before her.

Unfortunately, there was no off-plane inspection this time.

Zhang Ge looked around.

All that was visible was iron-gray in color. Apart from weapons, necessary facilities and statue decorations, there was nothing superfluous. This was exactly in line with Zhang Ge's stereotype of combat nuns.

After a closer look, Zhang Ge discovered that this was an indoor shaft-type hangar. The heavy opening and closing door above his head was closed, and the incandescent light illuminated the parking space that could only accommodate one fighter plane.

Considering that even the combat nuns probably don't have the financial resources to provide each fighter plane with a separate parking space, and most likely because of this hidden danger, some special considerations have been made to ensure the safety of the surrounding environment.

As he began to move forward, the nuns surrounded Zhang Ge in the middle. When he was about to leave the hangar through a small door that could only accommodate one person, he knocked lightly on the metallic wall, but found that even with his own strength, he could not create a trace of echo.

This means it can be thicker than you might imagine.

Outside the door is a straight, narrow corridor that is barely wide enough for one person to pass through and is completely enclosed. At the end of the corridor, you can see a single door.

Not to mention the demons which are generally stronger as they get bigger, even the Space Marines before their Primaris transformation would probably find it difficult to squeeze into such a narrow place. Flexible lurking units would have no room to maneuver at all. As long as a few high-powered laser cannons are placed on both sides or at the end, there would be nowhere to hide.

The combat nuns used the simplest and most brutal method to solve the problem that the combat effectiveness of individual soldiers was slightly insufficient compared to the top combat effectiveness.

There were fully armed nuns in front and behind, and cold metal walls on both sides. Only the sound of footsteps from the power armor hitting the metal ground echoed. Until he arrived at the place where he was to be interrogated, Zhang Ge had not seen the outside world or heard any noise. The closed and narrow environment was even a little depressing.

He finally felt the seriousness of the review. Before, it was just a makeshift team, not as good as a combat nun.

In front, after the single door opened, there was a complexity that was completely opposite to the simplicity of the outside world.

A large number of pipelines are densely distributed between the walls, and countless statues are distributed in every corner, corresponding to each other and producing a faint light.

But these are just a foil to the central instrument.

White skulls are stacked in a column that runs through the room from top to bottom. Countless tubes are concentrated in between like blood vessels, occupying most of the area.

There was a faint red light flickering between the eyes of those skulls, and the moment Zhang Ge entered, countless pairs of red eyes focused their attention on him.

Ten thousand pairs? Or a hundred thousand?

Although he didn't feel anything unusual physically, the instant focused gaze still made Zhang Ge feel a little uncomfortable.

If this happened in a horror movie, a boss would definitely appear.

As he continued to move forward with the gazes that had been following him, only three senior nuns were left of the nuns that had originally surrounded Zhang Ge.
