Warhammer 40 Spring: Loyalty of the Multiverse

Chapter 186 Military Expansion and Preparation for War
"Go all out to expand the military and prepare for war!"

This was the only order Ironbeak issued to all departments within the entire Alliance after the Death Ghosts' chapter brothers withdrew.

The resources accumulated in the nano-core world were quickly opened in the warehouses and divided equally among the various warbands. In an instant, every Astartes was armed to the teeth.

Even chainsaw weapons are almost becoming standard issue weapons.

Do not underestimate the productivity of intelligent AI, especially with the assistance of the Great Sage Ymir and other red-robed figures. The intelligent AI has been operating at full capacity and expanding its production relentlessly for over a century.

The basic weapons and ammunition they produce are almost enough to meet the needs of an entire legion.

This made the warband brothers, who had been suffering for so long, dance with joy. While loading themselves with ammunition and molten grenades, they praised the Emperor.

The most obvious example is the group of shark canned goods. Lumir, in particular, is exceptionally poor, having been impoverished for generations.

They were so poor that they even had to steal their belts. Moreover, they were so poor that when they unearthed priceless treasures, they treated them as ordinary relics and exchanged them with the little red-robed men of the Mechanic Church for limited basic supplies.

It wasn't until I spent time with my cousins ​​from other warbands that I learned from them just how much they had been tricked by those red-robed villains.

So much so that whenever they saw their spaceship and the group of mechanical cult members around them, they always wore indifferent expressions.

Some priests knew what was going on, and since they were in the wrong, they didn't dare to touch on the matter too much.

Only now did these shark-canned animals begin to feel a sense of wealth.

Lumir was carrying a heavy explosive machine gun, and the presence of the nano-core significantly reduced the machine gun's obstruction to his mobility.

Around it are three servo skulls that circle back and forth. They are of different sizes, especially one of them, which is almost three times larger than a normal skull.

The long ammunition belt on the heavy explosive machine gun extends from below. Upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that the ammunition belt of the heavy explosive machine gun is densely packed with Kraken armor-piercing rounds and Vengeance molten metal rounds, and you can even see some anti-psychic explosive rounds mixed in.

It's important to know that the world of nano-cores only produces basic explosives and various physical technologies such as armor-piercing and thermoelectric projectiles.

Types of explosives, such as those for subspace, are simply impossible to produce. Furthermore, the batches that were produced were primarily standard-issue explosives.

Therefore, it can be concluded that the Shark Gang has once again revealed its true strength.

Furthermore, the weaponry he carried was astonishing. A bomb pistol was slung over his right thigh; a plasma pistol hung on his waist above it; a power sword he had just received from the armory hung on his left waist; various fragmentation grenades and molten metal grenades were hung around his waist; and a monomolecular combat dagger lay upside down on his left upper arm.

Especially the magnetic energy cannon supported by the nano-armor.

This firepower level is almost on par with the Terminator!

As for how to change the magazine for the bomb gun, Astartes won't bother with that; the two servo skulls next to it will faithfully provide the magazine replacement service themselves.

This level of equipment and treatment was only due to Lumir's position as lieutenant, specifically as the adjutant of the company after Guilliman's return and the reforms implemented there. As for the Astartes still in the combat brotherhood stage, aside from the magnetic energy cannons, heavy explosive machine guns, and power swords, they had everything else, and with the implantation of nano-cores...

They will eventually have the same equipment as Lumir; it's just a matter of time. Of course, those Astartes with Middle-earth ranks will also be able to carry a power sword.

Furthermore, as the pharmacists and technical sergeants of various warbands learned from the Great Sage Yuramirs how to implant nanocores...

The number of Astartes fully implanted with nanocores is increasing exponentially. Although they cannot master and apply them immediately, it is sufficient for the current stage.

The day when the full-scale war breaks out is enough for them to grasp and apply it.

After the weapons and supplies were distributed, each warband sent a portion of their forces to be stationed in this world. The majority of the remaining combat comrades piloted their warships back to their respective locations.

But only the shark canned goods remained, after all, they were part of the ship-based battle group. Their supervision and command were indispensable for the subsequent deployment of defensive lines and the fortification of various planets.

"Didn't they say there's still a group of space undead in the Ghoul Starfield?" Tie Hui asked casually, while admiring the video that Tiert had sent him earlier. Tiberos, who was practicing his combat skills nearby, was practicing his skills.

Tiberius stopped what he was doing, put the training arrows aside, and then took a towel from his attendant to wipe the sweat off his body.

He took a few deep breaths and said, "They are a group of skinners! They are also a space necromancer dynasty. And there are several other space necromancer dynasties as well."

Tie Hui paused for a moment, then looked at him in confusion. "Didn't you say there was only the Skinners?" In his knowledge and memory, it seemed that the Skinners were the only space necromancer dynasty in the entire Ghoul Starfield.

But he couldn't remember its exact name. The only thing he remembered was that the Skinner seemed to be a virus that could infect undead in space.

So could it be that... Space Necromancer Skinners is a general term? And there are other dynastic categories under it?
“No! They have several factions in total. Apart from the Derazak Bone Dynasty, which we are familiar with and have some records of, you should ask Basharol for more detailed information, sir.” Tiberos answered Tie Hui’s long-standing question.

"Because Barthalor and his Death Ghost Chapter are monitoring the entire Ghoul Starfield. If you want to get accurate information about those space undead, you should ask them, especially the Pale Book they possess, which contains a great deal of information about these abominable aliens."

Tie Hui nodded. He knew that the information about various aliens was recorded throughout the empire, but it was very scattered.

Take the space necromancer as an example!

First, there are departmental barriers. The Mechanicus does not disclose its research findings on various dynastic space necromancy to the Inquisition or the Empire.

This also leads to them relying on past experience when encountering different space necromantic dynasties, which easily causes them to lose battles.

Another factor is politics. In Iron Glory's known memories, it seems that the High Lords of Terra, or the Senate, listed the threat of the Necromancers in space as a secondary priority.

Then your mom is a total jerk!
One limitation is technological; a message often takes months or even years to reach Terra, severely impacting assessments of the complex situation in the Ghoul Sector. Furthermore, there's confusion regarding naming and classification. While Imperial documents mention "space undead" or "space zombies," these are vague terms, making it impossible to accurately discern the power of the respective dynasties within them.

This led many commanders to believe that the Space Necromancers were a unified force. Regardless of their location, the Space Necromancers possessed the same technology and weapons.
