Warhammer: Just unified the Empire, you said it was 40K

Chapter 97 This "Blood Angel" is not pure, we are just pirates
Warships landing tax ships.

Arbitrator Lynn was about to thank the Astartes Chapter for coming to support her.

But having fought criminals for many years, she keenly noticed that there was something wrong with their eyes.

It seemed as if these people's eyes never left their 'trophies'.

There were more than a hundred Astartes soldiers landing on the tax ship.

This led others to mistakenly believe that this was a company of Blood Angels on their way to a massive battle.

"The Imperial Law Department greatly appreciates your assistance."

"Can the weapons on the ship still be used?" Idamas did not directly answer the other party's question, but instead became concerned about the weapons on the ship.

"Of course, it can be used normally. They just shattered our shields and paralyzed several of our void shield force field interference generators. The weapons were simply overloaded."

"very good."

Idamas nodded.

After a pause, he continued:
"Are the staff ready?"

"Of course, we didn't lose any men, but the enemy should have too..."

"very good."

"."

Lynn listened to what the other party said, and the more she listened, the more she felt something was wrong.

The person who said these words didn't seem to be here to help them repair the boat.

Somewhat similar.
"Who among you is the commander of this fleet?"

Lynn said, standing in front of the others.

"Who is the admiral of this fleet?"

Idamas asked several people in succession. These were almost the most important people on the fleet, holding almost all the authority of the entire tax ship. After confirming that all these people had been selected, Idamas said:
"Very good. Someone will send you back to Gamma World on a battle barge to continue your work. As for the others, along with their ships, they have been requisitioned in the name of the Emperor."

"???"

"???"

"."

They were just as confused and full of questions as the low-ranking generals on the frigate and the noble heirs who joined the Ministry of Justice.

Their ship was requisitioned.

Or in the name of the Emperor?
The reason is to combat piracy.

Look at your team, there are already more than a hundred Space Marines on board. What kind of pirates are you fighting against? Do you need a company of Space Marines?

Could it be the defected Star Claws, or a pirate group composed of some Dark Eldar forces, or even a warlord-like pirate like the Greenskins?

Of course, Idamas ignored the other party's doubts.

His mission is to fight pirates and build an interstellar 'highway'.

What do you have that is more important than building an interstellar 'highway' for us?
Compared to building interstellar "highways", taxes have to be put last, and even the end of the world has to come after that.

Not to mention, the governor told them that there was a ship from the Empire, which was sent to them by a powerful emperor to deliver express. They had no reason not to accept it. Moreover, to put it another way, even if it was not sent by the emperor, and you were damaged by the aliens, it would be fine for us to use it as something we picked up on the road.

Not to mention that Idamas was just borrowing it.

"We'll borrow it for a bit and return it to you soon."

After saying that.

All the warship commanders were sent onto the battle barges.

In order to protect their safety, they also arranged a "Dreadnought Mech" in their eyes and a "Blood Angel" iron can to protect them back to the Gamma world.

On the battle barge.

Lynn's face was filled with black lines.

She always felt that there was something wrong with the other party and that their style of doing things was not like that of a Blood Angel.

Although the Blood Angels are dangerous, they don't have the habit of stealing other people's things.

Although the other party said that it was a loan, in this interstellar space, once you borrow it, you may never see the other party again in your life. How can the other party return it?
Moreover, they were given a Blood Angel to protect them.

Why is this arrangement so hellish?
"."

"."

The exploration sage Vitius of the Mechanicus Church was also sitting nearby.

Others may not be able to feel it and cannot sense the existence of the machine soul.

But as a servant of Ohm Messiah, he can feel whether every part of a machine was cast by people of faith while praising Ohm Messiah.

Since he met Idamas and the fleet that Idamas sent out afterwards.

I felt that there were no traces of Ohm Messiah left on these machines.

Although these mechanical creations were exquisite and sophisticated, and were the same as the power armor he was familiar with, they were very hollow, very quiet, and very cold, just like flesh and blood without a soul, the ocean without life, and the streets without the bustling voices. They became empty and silent, like lifeless stones, broken soil, and alloys.

They were definitely not forged from the lower hives of the Imperium, he was sure of that.

Because there was no trace of Om Messiah in every inch of this place, he could not fully trust anything here.

However. When he touched the Dreadnought.

He felt the trace of some mysterious power.

This power contains dislike, irritation, boredom, and even a hint of curiosity.
Just like a real person.

Just like the machine soul he felt?

Praise be to Om Messiah, I was finally able to find a trace of the existence of a machine spirit.

There are many sages in the Mechanical Church, and they have made different achievements in different fields.

The so-called Sages are senior members of the Adeptus Mechanicus. They believe in the Cult of the Mechanicus and are loyal to Om Messiah. They have already achieved mastery in their respective fields, and almost no one can surpass them in this field.

Some of them like to dig, some like to explore, some like to wander, some like to trade, and some even spend their entire lives just to recover a certain technology or restore a certain technology.

He is an explorer and sage who explores the stars, trying to unearth a civilization that surpasses the Golden Age.

He considers himself a servant of Machine God. He believes in and pursues the ultimate form of mechanical mysteries. He uses the most sophisticated electronic instruments to replace nerves. He uses the top-level equipment to connect his fragile brain and electronic devices to the instruments. He uses his own brain to store some knowledge, and uses his secondary brain to think.

The gravitational slingshot he saw in the Gamma world made him very curious.

He was willing to exchange everything he had for the technological equipment that could imprison the neutron star, if he guessed correctly.

That should be a tool that allows faster-than-light travel between planets.

in historical records.

The Emperor once tried to build a complete interstellar 'highway' but unfortunately, the highway exploded and only the Emperor could stabilize it.

This world actually has another 'highway'

I wonder if they really have this technology, or if they acquired it by accident?
Vitius doesn't care what others think.

Anyway, he was very happy to return to the Gamma world.

Having obtained the Imperial Tax Ship, Idamas is more confident in turning the Death World into the entrance and exit of the interstellar 'highway'.

There is no harassment from the Tau Empire here, and secondly, there are few other races approaching the Death World.

At the same time, it is very close to the eastern star region of the Tau Empire.

Right on the doorstep of the Tau Empire, so to speak.

This means that the speed at which their Gamma World supports the Eastern Star Region is definitely faster than the speed at which the Tau Empire supports its own Eastern Star Region, and their control over the region is stronger than that of the other side.

As long as you have a very specific direction and spatial scale, you can quickly enter any planet in the Gamma World on the highway of the Death World.

At the same time, it is also a springboard for the Gamma World to the outside world.

It can quickly achieve one-way navigation to the outside world.

Push the front line forward and make the enemy think about defense.

That's what they're going to do.

A death star is a planet that burns out from its original gaseous cloud and eventually collapses into a neutron star.

Due to the radiation produced by the neutron star, it is almost impossible for life to grow on the surrounding world.

So this galaxy has been abandoned.

The gravity and radiation produced by the collapsed neutron star far exceed those of the two "artificial neutron stars" on Karamat World and Gamma World.

It also means that its jumping ability is stronger than the gravitational slingshots of the other two neutron stars and the effect is better.

It is also the world of death.

No one came.

Therefore, it will become a resting place for pirates and local warlords.

This is a paradise for criminals, the hellish side of the garden world.

This place is filled with corruption, destruction, and death.

Of course, this kind of place is just a corner of the real dark world.

It is the place where those small characters who cannot enter the realm of true chaos and cannot taste the ultimate sin and killing stay.

This place is filled with small caravans from various races and ethnic groups, who barter and trade with each other things plundered from other caravans and fleets. The trades are all related, including a large amount of slave trade, Chaos taboos, corrupted demi-humans, aliens, as well as pathological races, alien weapons, mysterious creations, and strange languages.

Most of their ships are no bigger than battle barges, and there are many small ships that are cheaply cobbled together to suit the identity of space scavengers.

In the dark world, a tight hissing sound suddenly sounded.

A large number of fleet members heard the familiar voice, but continued to do their own thing. Some of them even just woke up from a drunken stupor and lay down directly with their arms around the Titan slaves.

Others are ready to watch the excitement of the confrontation between the pirate boss and the other side in this lawless area, drive their own warships, and get a participation identity as a capital for bragging in the future.

They thought it was the Tau Empire leading their fleet to persuade them to 'leave' this world.

The pirate bosses were all ready to bring out their bargaining chips, and some of the Tau people from the caravans they had robbed from the edge worlds of the Tau Empire were ready to negotiate with the arriving Tau people.

However, they were wrong.

negotiation?

You also have to ask the other party to really talk to you.
