The Bizarre Adventures of Cloud Hammer

Is there any connection between the Nebula Hammer Chapter and the suddenly appearing Grey Knights?

Alan recalled that he seemed to have heard the voice of the Gray Knight somewhere before, and it was not a long time ago, but recently.

"Teacher, I also have something to tell you."

At the top of the tower, Credien put away the communicator. Alan did not immediately tell him what the matter was, but just said it was a very important matter and they would talk about it in detail face to face after returning to the top of the tower.

The battle with the traitors is over. The PDFs are cleaning up the battlefield and burning the traces of blasphemy. The altar building has been completely sealed off, and the things inside will be dealt with by Credion and the battle sisters, including the body of the chaos egg.

Apu and others also returned to the battleship, and gave Credien the reason that they were returning to orbit for rest, and would continue to help Atis solve the chaos pollution in the hive.

To be honest, Credien still had some doubts about the Nebula Hammer Chapter. After the battle, these Astartes evacuated too quickly, as if they were hiding something. But now Credien couldn't ask the Nebula Hammer Chapter, because he would still need the power of these Astartes.

----

"Let me tell you, do you know how amazing his expression was when I got to him? He looked like he was almost petrified."

"Nonsense, if a Grey Knight suddenly appears next to me, I'm not afraid of anything."

"Okay, okay, stop for now. I have something important to discuss."

Apu patted the table to quiet everyone down. They could talk about the interesting things they encountered later. Now they had to solve the next problem.

"That Inquisitor should be starting to doubt us."

This was not surprising. Their style of coming and going in a hurry was very strange. It was impossible for them to not show up after a fight. Moreover, there were no more than ten Astartes who appeared in front of Credien from beginning to end, which made Credien even more suspicious.

And just now, Credien sent a message saying that the planetary governor hopes to have dinner with the Astartes Brothers of the Nebula Hammer Regiment and discuss together how to solve the Chaos pollution problem in the lower level of the hive. Please be sure to do me a favor.

Those who are ostensibly a regular battle group certainly have the right to refuse, but the price is to increase Credien's suspicion of them. They are not afraid of being remembered by the Inquisitor because they can change their identities at will, and the Inquisitor cannot find them even if he wants to. But if this happens, the plan to establish a good relationship with the Inquisitor will be ruined.

"We still have to go, but it can't be that only a few people show up again." After weighing the pros and cons, Brother Ou thought they still had to go, but only six people were too few.

Apu was also thinking of a solution, but he had no idea.

"What should we do? We can't conjure an Astarte out of thin air."

Even if they wanted to increase the number of people, they couldn't do it. They were not real Astartes and did not even have gene seeds. The transformation had to rely entirely on Gloria. Moreover, the fact that there could not be any native people from the Warhammer 40 universe on the Argent Sword alone blocked the way.

"Actually, I have a way to solve this problem."

When everyone was worried, Gloria brought another surprise.

"What method?" Brother Ou asked hurriedly.

"Do you remember the STC you dug out?" Gloria showed everyone the technology in the STC.

The STC contains the manufacturing technology of a combat soldier. With Gloria's modification, the height of the combat soldier was compressed to less than 3 meters. After putting on a layer of bionic skin, it can be directly stuffed into the power armor. In order to save energy, Gloria did not give these mechas high intelligence, but the built-in computer is enough for them to execute complex tactical instructions, and the individual performance is also better than the average level of Space Marines.

The operating systems of these mechas have been connected to everyone's power armor. Everyone can issue commands like playing RTS games, or remotely control individual mechas. The mechas are also installed with the Warhammer 40k Astartes dialogue voice pack. When encountering a dialogue, they will automatically choose the most appropriate answer to respond. If they encounter a question that is difficult to answer, it will be up to everyone or Gloria to choose how to respond.

"Gloria, our Kami, how are we going to live without you!"

Everyone praised Gloria, and the problem of lack of manpower in the regiment was solved.

Gloria also felt a little proud in the praise and said:

"Hey, don't you see who I am? I've already built 300 mechas. Is that enough?"

"That's enough!"

300 'Astartes' are enough to cover up the problem of numbers, Ou Ge replied to Credion, and after the starport is cleared, the top leaders of the regiment will go to the banquet with the honor guard.

"Come on, get all 50 of our battle brothers equipped with Terminators. We can't let this bring shame to our chapter."

Ou Ge waved his hand and wanted to equip all 50 mechas with Hades-type Terminators, but Apu thought it was not a good way to show off wealth, and the Indomitable-type Terminator would be enough.

In the evening of the next day, the zombies on the star port were purified by PDF, and the Silver Sword docked at the port of Attis Star Port. More than fifty Astartes warriors wearing Terminator armor stepped into the star port, deeply shocking everyone who came to greet them.

After taking the orbital elevator to the top of the tower, everyone saw Credien again, oh, it was the first time for Luochen.

"Hello again, Inquisitor Credien." Brother Ou stepped forward to greet him. This time he was not wearing the Iron Cavalry Terminator, but the Hades.

"Hello again, Chapter Master Uldren."

Credien looked at the fifty Terminators behind him and wondered whether they were here for a banquet or to do other things. He also wondered if this regiment was a little too wealthy. From the previous Brutal Blade Tanks to the current Terminator Guards, this regiment always gave Credien a feeling of showing off its wealth.

"Chapter Master Uldren, could you please introduce me to the five monks with you?"

Credien set his sights on the five people standing alongside the Chapter Master. These five people were all wearing a different type of Terminator armor than the Indomitable type. The decorations and reliefs on the armor were also more gorgeous, and it was obvious that they were high-ranking members of the Chapter.

Brother Ou began to introduce to Credien the first captain, the second captain, the think tank director and the third captain, the forge master and the fourth captain, the regiment champion and the fifth captain. As the regiment grew in number, everyone could be a company captain for fun.

"Judge Credien, won't you introduce the people around you?" Brother Ou also saw Allen standing next to Credien.

"This is my disciple, Eren Grisha."

Alan saluted everyone. For some reason, he always felt that these Astartes in front of him were inexplicably familiar.

Everyone went to the planetary governor's palace, where Diaz had already prepared a banquet and was waiting for everyone's arrival.

"Welcome all angels, I am Diaz, the planetary governor of Atis."

Diaz shook hands with Ou Ge and exchanged some pleasantries before the banquet officially began. Everyone took off their helmets and put on makeup before coming down to make themselves look more battle-hardened, otherwise a too clean face would easily arouse suspicion.

During the banquet, the state religion, the Ministry of Justice, and the surviving nobles also came up to greet each other. Some nobles asked some questions cautiously, such as whether the angels needed new blood. These questions were answered by Brother Ou one by one, of course in the form of rejection.

But everyone did not come down to socialize with the powerful. After dealing with the nobles, Ou Ge and Apu found Credien and Diaz and began to discuss the problems concerning the lower level of the hive.

Chapter 23 Lifelong Friends

Apu and the others were not the only ones who disliked aristocratic banquets. Alan also disliked them, but sometimes he had to attend. Fortunately, this banquet was not as boring as the previous ones.

Alan fixed his eyes on the salted fish that was devouring the meal. The second company commander didn't care about the eyes around him, which was in sharp contrast to the quiet soldiers beside him.

Not all Astartes Brothers came to the banquet. Some of them were scattered throughout the Governor's Palace, paying attention to any movement around them.

Alan was very concerned about one thing. He felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity with the Nebula Hammer's chapter commander and several company commanders. Although it was their first meeting, it seemed as if he had seen them somewhere before.

Finally, Allen couldn't hold back his curiosity and stepped forward:

"Your Excellency doesn't drink?"

"Hmm? Are you talking to me?"

The planetary governor's banquet was filled with delicacies shipped from other planets, high-quality livestock and fruits from the agricultural world, and precious seafood from the ocean world. These foods that Xianyu casually ate, any one of which might be a delicacy that ordinary people would never be able to enjoy in their entire lives.

But Xianyu was only enjoying the delicious food and ignored the equally valuable wine placed next to it.

"I don't have a drinking habit."

To be precise, none of the six of them have the habit of drinking. Sometimes when dining with friends, they might have a little beer or wine, and they might also mix red wine with carbonated drinks, but no matter what, they just try it briefly. If pineapple beer and milk beer are considered alcohol (?), then they probably drink quite a lot.

This sound...

When Xianyu opened his mouth, Alan felt that the voice sounded very familiar, just like the Gray Knight before. He must have heard this voice somewhere.

Allen thought about it, and was about to muster up the courage to ask the captain of the Nebula Hammer Second Company in front of him, but Xianyu spoke first:

"How do you think the food tastes?"

Alan was stunned for two seconds when faced with Xianyu's sudden question. "Everything is delicious. After all, this is the planetary governor's banquet."

Alan had eaten too many good things and was already bored with these expensive foods. Compared to these, he preferred the bowl of nutritious porridge he shared with the civilians when he went down the nest, and the cans of food he ate with those strange guys.

"I think it's just average. It might be due to the cooking method. It doesn't seem as good as the food in our regiment."

Warhammer 40k is a world view created by the British, so don't expect to find many delicious foods in it. In addition, given the tone of the 40k universe, even looking up at the stars may be a delicacy in the human empire.

"Don't all Astartes live like ascetics?"

"That's a stereotype." Luochen came over from behind. "Those Space Wolves, those little bastards, all of them drink and eat meat with big bowls of wine and big mouthfuls of meat."

"you……"

Luochen's voice made Alan's eyes widen. There was no way he had heard it wrong. Except for the different tone, this was the voice of the Gray Knight who appeared in the Lower Nest.

"Besides, haven't you already eaten our regiment's meals?" Xianyu also stood up, and he and Luochen sandwiched Alan from the front and the back.

Have I eaten their warband meals? And this familiar voice...

"You are--" Alan understood, but Luochen covered his mouth.

"Shh, let's talk outside."

Luochen and Xianyu had no intention of hiding their identities, because in order to establish a good relationship with Allen, they would definitely have to reveal their identities, so it was better to tell them as soon as possible.

Alan finally understood how this Astartes Chapter had arrived so timely, because these guys had been digging for treasure on the planet from the beginning and even dug up an STC! No wonder they used Astartes combat knives, because these people were Astartes.

By the Emperor, are there such Adeptus Astartes?

Allen was brought to a garden outside the palace by Xianyu and Luochen. After a brief moment of confusion, Allen saluted the two again:

"Thank you again, my Lords, for saving me in the Underhive, but I still want to ask why an Astartes Brother would appear in a place like the Underhive?"

"Didn't you see it? Of course it's to dig something up." Xianyu said.

The purpose of everyone coming to the Hive of Atis was to dig something to replenish Gloria's energy and experience the customs and culture of the Hive. They didn't expect to meet a trainee inquisitor in the bottom nest, and they didn't expect that the planet would suddenly become chaotic.

"Then what's going on with this lord?"

Alan looked at Luochen. How could the Grey Knights be with ordinary Space Marines? Moreover, they were wearing the livery of this chapter. It couldn't be that this chapter was all Grey Knights in disguise.

Because of the special nature of the Grey Knights, there is absolutely no possibility of them rebelling or impersonating each other, so Alan could never have imagined that Luochen was really a "fake" Grey Knight.

"Well, my situation is quite special. In short, you won't understand even if I tell you, and it might even bring you trouble." Luochen signaled Alan not to delve too deeply into it. After all, every regiment has its own little secrets.

Alan didn't say anything. Since a Grey Knight had endorsed them, he believed that the Astartes of the Nebula Hammer would definitely be loyal to the Emperor.

"Have you told your mentor about our situation?" This time it was Luochen's turn to ask.

"Not yet. I was planning to tell the teacher after the banquet was over."

But now it seems that it is impossible to say.

"It's okay to tell these things to others, but I hope you can trust us."

"I believe in you. Your actions have proven your purity. You are noble Astartes Brothers."

"Very sensible boy. We will be friends from now on." Xianyu patted Alan's shoulder.

"friend……"

"As long as you can keep your original intention, we will be friends for life." Luochen extended his hand to Allen.

Alan was stunned for a few seconds, and soon his eyes became firm. He held Luochen's hand and said:

"Me too. As long as we remain forever loyal to the Emperor and to humanity, we will be lifelong friends."

Thus, Eren Grisha gained the most important partner in his life as an Inquisitor, and he maintained contact with this wonderful chapter until his soul returned to the Golden Throne, but a human life is still too short compared to that of an Astartes.

----

Apu and Ou Ge were discussing serious matters with the planetary governor and the inquisitor, Xianyu and Luochen were deceiving young people, and Awei and Eryu also did an important thing during this period.

The two people at the banquet hall were each controlling two stealth-specialized 'battle brothers' to penetrate deep into the Governor's Palace. The mechas scattered around the palace were providing cover and observing the situation.

You don't really think that throwing 50 Terminators down is just for showing off, right? These planetary nobles don't understand the value of Terminators to the Astartes. If they really want to show off their wealth, they must find a poor Astartes regiment, fire and throw explosives one by one in front of them, wear and throw away a set of power armor, and ensure the emotional value is maximized.

But until the end of the banquet, nothing happened as expected, and everyone had no choice but to return to the Blue Silver Sword.

The chaos problem in the lower level of the hive city has been discussed. In order to solve the chaos pollution, the source of pollution must be dealt with. The source of pollution in the hive city is the fragments from the three frigates.

The debris at the top of the tower had been thoroughly cleansed, but the debris elsewhere had not yet been. Because these fragments were located in the lower levels of the hive, they could not be destroyed by orbital strikes. They needed a force to clear a path through the Nurgle walkers to the fragments.

Credien hopes that the Astartes' combat power will not be wasted on clearing out the Nurgle zombies. His battleship, the Condemnation, will arrive at Aitis in three days. The criminals on it will become a suicide squad to burn their worthless lives for the Emperor.

At the same time, Diaz will also recruit criminals from other hives of Atis to supplement the number of the death squad. He hopes to purify the heretic pollution in Atis as soon as possible, so he will do his best to provide help.

Once these scum have found the fragments and cleared the way, the Astartes will move in to purify the source of the pollution.

Apu and Ou Ge had no objection to this. Among those criminals, there might be relatively innocent people like the first four of the Dark Tide Emperor (referring to Ogryn who instigated the rebellion), but most of them definitely deserved to die, and the thing the empire had the most was people.

Ah Wei: "Well, this is really a dark tide, the Emperor will be at your doorstep soon."

Luochen: "I missed you, Lianzhou."

Brother Ou: "Don't think about it for now, how are things going over there?"

With Xianyu and Luochen's "exquisite" rhetoric, Allen would have no problem. This inquisitor who had not yet made his debut and still had hope in his heart would not despise the help of a "loyal" regiment.

"Awei, how are you guys doing?" Apu asked, leaving only the matter of Awei and Eryu unsaid.

"We found the place. Gloria's test was correct."
