The Bizarre Adventures of Cloud Hammer

"Me? I think it doesn't matter where we go. There are actually some places worth visiting in the Storm Star Region."

Apu slid the star map and marked several locations in the Storm Star Field, including Krieg, the home planet of Krieg's Death Legion, and Deliverance, the home planet of the Raven Guard's original leader Krax and also the current home planet of the Raven Guard. These two planets are well-known in the Warhammer universe.

"What is this planet?"

Ou Ge saw that there were several planets marked out together, and he had a basic impression of them, but he really couldn't remember one of them, the planet called Wallistad.

"Wallistad. I marked it because there's an Emperor-class Titan buried there. I stumbled across it while browsing the popular science column."

Titans, giant battle mechas, also known as 'God' machines, are powerful war machines deployed by the Human Empire on the surface of the planet. These steel behemoths, armed to the teeth, are walking fortresses. The Mechanicus regards Titans as the embodiment of the power of the God of Machines. Whenever a Titan appears on the battlefield, it means that the intensity of the war here has reached a terrifying level.

The Emperor-class Titan, the supreme manifestation of the power of the God of All Machines, is the most powerful of the Imperial Titans. It is called a mobile giant cathedral by Hammersmith fans. The Emperor-class Titan is the glory of human technology, the first of the Titan Legions, and the heaviest ground unit that humans have been able to deploy so far. It is the pride and symbol of the Mechanicus, which makes every Emperor-class Titan extremely precious.

But what Ap valued was not the combat power of the Emperor-class Titan on Wallistad. As long as the energy was sufficient, Gloria could directly destroy 10,000 Emperor-class Titans. What Ap valued was the utilization value of this Emperor-class Titan. When one day they met an oil man worth making friends with, they could use this Emperor-class Titan to do a favor and thus establish a relationship with the Mechanicus.

Apoo told these ideas to everyone, and everyone thought it was feasible, but they didn't need to rush to Wallistad to dig out the Titan. According to Apoo's vague memory, this Emperor-class Titan would not be discovered until eight hundred years later, so everyone focused on discussing several other planets.

"Krieg is not a good choice. There is nothing interesting about the Death Planet. Do we have to go and watch the selection of the Krieg Corps?" Ou Ge couldn't stand it anymore. The Krieg Death Corps was an excellent army, but the fate of the Krieg people was so sad. They had no future. Everyone was born to die. Just like the name of their Corps, the existence of Krieg was also one aspect of the dark universe of 40k.

Apu thought about it and felt that there was really nothing interesting about Krieg. If they really went to watch the selection of the Death Corps, they would probably get mad after watching it.

"I didn't say I had to go. Isn't there a savior?"

"Go to the Savior Star to find the Raven King? Has the Raven King returned to the Raven Tower at this time?" Luo Chen said. It is possible to go to the Savior Star, but the Savior Star itself is a mining planet, and there are probably not many things to see. It is possible to communicate with the Dark Raven Guards as long as they do not reveal their true identity.

Ravenspire is the monastery of the Raven Guard. By the 40th century, most of its areas had been abandoned, and it contained important secrets of the Raven Guard. The tallest tower in Ravenspire is called Eyrie, which is the residence of Raven King Corax. After the Raven King left, Eyrie was sealed by a stasis field, and only a few people have the right to enter, so Apoo and others had basically no chance of entering.

I would like to mention here that the rumor that the Crow King blocked Lorjia's door is actually a rumor. In "Yesterday's Shadow", the Crow King did beat Lorjia, but Lorjia did not go out because he was in seclusion. He went out many times afterwards. No one knew what the Crow King was doing afterwards, but new information confirmed that the Crow King returned to the Raven Tower more than once and wrote something in the Raven Tower.

Even if they could enter the Crow's Nest and meet the returning Crow King, what could they say to him? Could they tell him that the Primarch's era had borne abundant fruit nine hundred years later? Given the Crow King's current state, it was hard to say whether they would be able to withstand a single glance at him.

Our old Thirteenth Guilliman is different. He is in the ICU (stasis field) of Hera Fortress, which is one of the five great attractions in Ultramar, and it is free. (Note: This is true, as described in GW's weekly article "Five Great Sights of Ultramar" and "Nightbringer")

In addition to Macragge, there are many places to visit in the Ultima Segmentum. Famous places such as Baal, the home planet of the Blood Angels, Chogris, the home planet of the White Scars, and Nocturne, the home planet of the Salamanders, are all in the Ultima Segmentum.

After comprehensive consideration, the Extreme Star Domain is their best choice at the moment. It is far away from the Gothic War in the Hazy Star Domain, and there are many famous planets in the star domain to visit.

Apu: "So you've decided to go to the Ultramarine? By the way, has Calgar become the Chapter Master by now?"

Ou Ge: "It's only been a few years. Calgar wasn't born for hundreds of years, but Dante has been the Chapter Master for hundreds of years."

Luochen: "What about Logan? I remember he's not young either."

Among the Space Marine Chapters of 40k, there are three exceptionally strong men, known as the Three Great Grand Masters of the Imperium: Blood Angel Dante, Space Wolf Logan, and Ultramarines Calgar. As for Azmew… Azrael, he's too young to be considered on the same level as the three. (Azmew has been a Chapter Master for less than a century, so his record is relatively unremarkable, and he nearly sent the Dark Angels packing.)

Of the three Chapter Masters, Dante is the oldest, having lived for over 1,500 years by the time of the Thirteenth Black Crusade, and is the longest-serving Space Marine and Chapter Master alive. (Excluding the Dreadnoughts)

Next up is Logan, who has nearly 700 years of combat experience. At the time of the Cadia explosion, he had led the Wolves for over 41.313 years. His record is impressive, including the axe-splitting of the Primarch Magnus. He is considered the most powerful of the three Chapters. (Note: Many columns claim Logan was Chapter Master for nearly 440 years, but the data I've found indicates that he was brought to the Fang in M444, became Alpha Wolf in , and the First War of Armageddon began in .)

Finally, there's Calgar, the youngest of the three Grand Masters. He was nearly five hundred years old when Guilliman awakened. It took him just over a hundred years to become Chapter Master of the Ultramarines, a founding chapter of the Ultramarines. This demonstrates Calgar's exceptional abilities, a fact confirmed by his subsequent experiences. (Dante was the slowest of the three Grand Masters to ascend.)

"Logan isn't born yet." Apu recalled Logan's information. He remembered that Logan joined the Wolf Pack three hundred years after M41, which was still nearly two hundred years from now.

"Then do you know who is the current commander of the Ultramarines?" Luo Chen asked.

"..."

Ap and Ou Ge really didn't know that with their half-baked knowledge of Warhammer 40k, it was already very good that they could remember most of the famous characters.

"Why do we have to remember these things so clearly? Can we use them?" Xianyu said at this time. Is there any benefit in remembering these names?

"Yeah, why do we have to remember these things so clearly." Apu also realized that some things don't need to be understood so clearly.

"Should we set off then?" Eryu had been listening for so long, but only now did he speak his first sentence.

"Wait a minute, there's one more thing we need to clarify." Before leaving, Apu had one more thing to ask Gloria, "Gloria, did you receive another astropathic communication from more than half a month ago?"

"Another astropathic message? Anything?" Gloria asked.

"..."

It can only be said that it was expected.

The next destination of the group was decided to be the Ultramarine - Macragge, and they went straight to the hometown of Regent Ki and the Ultramarine.

"So are we going through the subspace or the physical universe this time?" Gloria asked everyone.

"Let's go through the subspace to an uninhabited space first. We can't just start racing here." Brother Ou said.

The Blue Silver Sword is still in the orbit of Atis, and the Inquisitor's ship is next to them. Are they playing with the physical universe at superluminal speed in front of the Inquisitor's ship in the hope that the yellow-skinned guy will come to them?

"Understood. Leaving the planet's orbit. Geller's stance activated, preparing to enter the subspace."

After leaving the planet's orbit, the Blue Silver Sword began its warp voyage, and then it would leave the warp in a safe and uninhabited area, and then turn into the physical universe at superluminal speed.

After entering the warp, everyone prepared to lie down on the bed and have a good sleep. They had not had much rest during this period. Although the Astartes' superhuman physique prevented them from feeling very sleepy, sleep was very important for humans.

Apu closed his eyes and soon fell asleep. He didn't know how long he slept before an alarm woke him up from his comfortable sleep.

After hearing the alarm, Apu immediately sat up and teleported to the bridge. Within a few seconds, the others also came to the bridge. Everyone looked at the time and found that less than 4 hours had passed since they lay down.

"What happened?" Apu asked Gloria.

Gloria stated the reason for sounding the alarm:

"We've hit a warp storm."

"what?"

Everyone turned on the external projection and found that they were now sailing in a storm with different colored lightning.

"Gloria, do you really have a spaceship license? Can this fly into a storm?"

Awei began to suspect that Gloria was driving without a license. You know, they were pulled into this universe because Gloria crashed into the black advanced spaceship.

"Don't be so mean. I've passed all the pilot license tests for various types of spacecraft. This subspace storm appeared suddenly without any warning, otherwise I would have bypassed it long ago."

Gloria explained to everyone that this subspace storm suddenly appeared in the spacecraft's path, and the Blue Silver Sword pierced directly into the storm before there was even time to react.

"A sudden subspace storm?" Luo Chen felt strange. Subspace storms usually don't form so quickly, right? Or is there someone behind this?

Thinking of this, Luochen began to use his psychic power to explore the surrounding warp storm. He wanted to determine the location of the Blue Silver Sword in the warp and analyze the reasons for the formation of the warp storm.

“This thing is…”

A cold feeling was transmitted to Luochen through the psychic energy, causing him to shiver unconsciously. When trying to use psychic energy to pass through the storm, Luochen vaguely saw a picture.

A cold black sun.

Without hesitation, or rather, not daring to hesitate, Luo Chen directly cut off his spiritual perception.

"Gao! It's the yellow-skinned guy using his powers!"

(From B station up: Azure blue sky)

(I was too busy the past few days, I will update frequently this month)

Chapter 30: Chapter : Traveling through the Middle Ages

Somewhere his whereabouts were exposed, the yellow-skinned man used his power across the star field to set off a small subspace storm.

This made everyone nervous. Why was Old Barou so persistent? They didn't want to work for him. Even if Old Barou sold hooks or gave them working nun wives, they wouldn't go.

"Don't worry, just trust my skills. As long as I don't do anything stupid, the yellow-skinned guy won't be able to find us."

Gloria first comforted everyone, and then she swept through the storm. Unlike Luochen's rough exploration using psychic power, Gloria directly deconstructed the storm from head to toe.

Don’t underestimate the initiative of college students!

"This Warp Storm...is not actually that related to the Emperor. He simply accelerated a storm that was already forming, and not necessarily because of us."

If Old Bacon could really find Gloria and the others, the ship would probably be filled with the Cursed Legion by now.

Xianyu: "Isn't this a bit too coincidental?"

"It's a bit of a coincidence, but we don't have to worry. We won't be discovered even if we stay in this storm for a hundred years."

Eryu: "Why did you wake us up? I was sleeping soundly."

Since nothing happened to set off an alarm or disturb anyone's sleep, it's probably because everyone has a good temper and doesn't get in a bad mood when getting up. Otherwise, they would definitely get up in a rage, and then... nothing would happen. It's better to continue sleeping.

"I just want to discuss with everyone whether we should just rush out."

If they choose not to force their way out of the warp storm, they will stay in the storm for a short while and leave after the storm subsides. With Gloria controlling the flow of time and space around the Blue Silver Sword, they will not deviate from the scheduled time and place after the storm ends.

Because of Gloria's existence, the Blue Silver Sword would not suffer much damage even if it forced its way out of the storm, but they would definitely not arrive at Macragge accurately, there might also be deviations in time, and it was uncertain whether it would be in the past or the future.

"rush out."

Without even thinking about it, how could anyone accept staying in a subspace storm for ten days or half a month? Moreover, they still have to sleep. How could they sleep well with thunder and lightning outside?

Since everyone said so, Gloria just stepped on the accelerator.

"Then I'll go for it."

The daunting warp storm could not block the advance of the Silver Sword. As its name suggests, the Silver Sword pierced through the storm's barrier and left its range.

But what everyone didn't know was that there was another warship in this small warp storm. Its corrupted appearance and unopened Geller stance showed that it was definitely not a warship of the Human Empire, but a minion of Chaos.

An unknown amount of time had passed since the Blue Silver Sword left the Warp Storm before this Chaos warship, following the remaining traces of the Blue Silver Sword, broke out of the storm and returned to the physical universe.

The Chaos battleship suffered considerable damage because of its forced escape from the storm, and failed to reach its intended destination. But it didn't matter to the passengers on the battleship, as long as they could escape the storm caused by the Corpse King. As for the damage to the battleship?

Aren't there so many worlds for them to enjoy along the way?

----

Humming a local ballad, the girl opened the door holding her clothes. The sun was still glaring in this season, so she raised her hands to block it and slowly walked to the clothes rack.

The girl hung the clothes in the sun, looked towards the farmland and said to herself:

“It’s almost harvest time.”

It was a once-a-year scene, when the crops were ripe they were beautiful, like gold covering the earth, but most of this gold did not remain in the hands of the growers.

The girl looked back at where she lived, a rural village full of life, neither big nor small. The villagers had lived here for generations, spending ordinary years after year after year after the lord collected most of the harvest.

The adults worked hard every day, going out early and coming back late, just to have more food left after paying taxes. The children who were not yet old enough took branches as swords, played their own knight games, and fantasized about being chosen by the lord to become a noble knight one day.

For commoners, being chosen by the lord as a servant or knight is a rare opportunity to cross the class line, but how many people can get this opportunity? The girl will not have unrealistic fantasies. Instead of fantasizing and playing, it is better to do something meaningful.

"Father and Mother should be back soon, right?...eh?"

The girl looked towards the distant sky. Many 'stars' wrapped in flames were falling down. Countless flames flew from the ground to the sky, trying to shatter the 'stars' and the air.

"what happens?"

The girl didn't understand what this picture meant, nor did she know what would happen next. After all, she was just a village girl.

Soon after, even the village where the girl lived could hear the sound of falling stars. After a while, the girl's parents hurried back. They packed their luggage and took the girl away from the village overnight, heading all the way to the city under the lord's castle.

The girl and her family left just in time. After many days of traveling, they entered a town that was already under martial law. A few days later, the lord ordered the city gates to be closed, and soldiers went up to the city walls to disperse the civilians who had not yet entered the city.

In the city, the girl saw many things she had never seen before, including lights that could be lit without oil or fire, trumpets that could automatically make sounds without anyone around, strange weapons in the hands of soldiers, and giants controlled by knights.

After that, the girl occasionally heard some things from the patrolling soldiers.

A week later, the orcs came, but the girl didn't know what an orc was.

A year later, the lord led the knights out to fight. A few days later, the only knight who came back said that the lord had died in the battle. That day, the girl was still praying to the emperor in the church.

Two years later, the girl and her family arrived at the king's territory. On the way, she heard the knight who was transferred with her say that a regiment of the Astra Militarum had arrived on the planet, but the girl did not know what the Astra Militarum was.

Four years later, the Emperor's Angel arrived.

----

Because of forcing its way out of the subspace storm, the Silver Sword deviated from its original course. In order not to get lost in the subspace, it had to leave the subspace first to determine its location.

After sailing in the subspace for several days, Gloria found a stable exit and left the subspace. When everyone returned to the real universe, they saw a planet with rich colors. Except for the smaller ocean area, it was very similar to the Earth.

"Where are we?" Xianyu looked at the planet outside. It was much more beautiful than the one in Edith's.

If they had not hit the warp storm, the Blue Silver Sword should not have left the range of the Storm Star Domain according to its speed. However, the time and space in the warp are unstable, and the warp storm will aggravate this. If they force their way out of the warp storm, they are likely to be thrown to other places, such as flying directly to the Taiping Star Domain, which is opposite to the Extreme Star Domain.

"I'm trying to determine the location."

Gloria began to scan the planet in front of her and the surrounding space. Soon she opened the star map and marked everyone's current position.

Apu: "Are we in the Extreme Star Region now?"

The Blue Silver Sword is currently within the range of the Extreme Star Field, and forcing its way out of the subspace storm has actually shortened their journey.

Ah Wei: "Since we are in the Ultima Thule, this planet is Macragge?"

Ou Ge: "Obviously... not."
