The Bizarre Adventures of Cloud Hammer

The previous dream left Eryu with a significant shadow, making him not want to get involved in any events in the short term.

Luochen: "I think if we go, there are both risks and opportunities. Besides, there are six Black Stone Fortresses there. If we don't take them, we will be ready to win every battle and set off fireworks."

Xianyu: "I want to go. If I don't go, where will I get the energy? Without energy, where will I get the fleet?"

Ah Wei: "Most of Gothic War is space battles, right? It's a good place to test the performance of Gundams and Zakus, right? You can't just build something and play with it yourself."

The vote was now two to three, and everyone looked at Apu, whose vote decided the outcome.

Apu: "I don't care. It doesn't matter whether I go or not, so I abstain."

In the end, Luochen's side won with a one-vote advantage, and everyone decided to participate in the Gothic War and truly appear in the eyes of the two major forces of Empire and Chaos.

After confirming everything, Gloria said to everyone:

"I've already built the robot you want. Do you want to see it?"

"Yes, yes, yes, let us see it!"

Everyone was teleported to the vehicle warehouse, but they did not see the Gundam or Zaku they had imagined. The robots in front of them looked more like modified knights and Titans. Compared with ordinary knights/Titans, they had two movable arms, their legs had been greatly modified, and various nozzles had been added all over their bodies, allowing them to move freely in space.

"It's a scam! This is a fucking Gundam/Zaku." Everyone cried out in despair.

"This is the best way I can think of. Otherwise, it will be too easy to be discovered." Gloria said that she wanted to think about what technology could not be brought into the Warhammer 40k universe. After thinking about it carefully, she found that there were quite a lot of them, such as the appearance, which had to be changed.

"Although the exterior is a mix of an Imperial Knight and a Titan, the technology and frame remain largely unchanged. Its maneuverability won't be compromised, and its performance may even be improved," Gloria continued. "That's it, anyway. Drive it if you want, and I'll take it back if you don't."

There is no other choice. Everyone can only say helplessly:

"Okay, let's go."

Just drive a Titan, it’s better than having no car at all.

Ride upon the storm of chaos, call upon heroes to gather around you, and bring fear and chaos to thousands of worlds.

Abaddon the Despoiler, Warmaster of Chaos!

From 41.139 to 143 M, the Imperial Navy was attacked by unknown enemies in multiple sectors. Inquisitor Horst was puzzled by these attacks. His assistants and spies planted in the Imperial Navy brought him more information. A rumor was circulating among the Imperial Navy in that sector. They said that these attacks were launched by an ancient Chaos warship named "Plague Claw". This Chaos warship had been attacking Imperial shipping routes for nearly four thousand Terran years. All this was not just a coincidence. When the rebellious Fourteenth Legion and the Death Guard who believed in Nurgle appeared and looted a hive world, the truth of the matter began to surface little by little.

Inquisitor Horst began an in-depth investigation into what had happened over the years. He discovered that the Chaos fleet's attack on the Empire was not as simple as he had imagined. The previous attacks were only to attract the Empire's attention. This made Horst convinced that the Chaos traitors were planning a large-scale invasion of the Empire.

The Chaos traitors' unusual behavior caused the Cadia Gate to enter a state of high alert. Imperial Navy warships from throughout the Vagues Sector were ordered to defend the space around Cadia, causing the Imperial Navy to ignore other star regions in the Vagues Sector, which was exactly what the Chaos traitors wanted to see. Inquisitor Horst's investigation continued. When he was heading to the Gothic Sector, the navigator informed him that the Warp in the Gothic Sector was more turbulent than usual. As time went on, the incidence of Warp Storms was also increasing. This news also caused chaos on many worlds in the Gothic Sector. Some fanatical religious elements began to act, and the actions of these fanatics were exploited by Chaos believers, making the State Religion unable to prevent Chaos cults from becoming powerful on various worlds. Various riots and lynchings made the Warp in the Gothic Sector further active, and the frequency and intensity of Warp Storms continued to increase.

Afterwards, Horst learned some information about the "Hand of Darkness" and the "Eye of Night". These two artifacts were seized by traitors during the operation of the Chaos Fleet. At this time, Horst did not know the true purpose of these two artifacts - to control the Blackstone Fortress.

In M41.142, a month after Horst's arrival in the sector, a massive Warp Storm engulfed the Gothic Sector, cutting it off from the rest of the Imperium.

At the end of M41.143, when the Gothic Sector was in chaos due to the Warp Storm, Abaddon the Despoiler led the Chaos fleet in a raid on the Gothic Sector, launching the first full-scale battle later known as the Gothic War. Before the Imperial fleet in the Gothic Sector could react, the Chaos fleet had already raided more than a dozen major Imperial naval bases in the Gothic Sector. Some of these naval bases were destroyed, and some were occupied by Chaos, becoming supply points for the Chaos fleet in the Gothic War.

However, not all naval bases were destroyed or occupied by the Chaos fleet. Some Chaos fleets were hit head-on by the highly alert Imperial Navy, and some Chaos fleets got lost in the asteroid belt and encountered Ork pirate ships, which saved the naval bases that were originally attacked.

But no matter what, the Imperial Navy in the Gothic Sector suffered heavy losses in the attack of the Chaos Traitors, and our Chaos Warmaster Abaddon also began his next move to capture the Blackstone Fortress in the Gothic Sector.

The first thing captured by the Chaos Divisions was the Blackstone Fortress in the Ribo Galaxy - Blackstone IV. This Blackstone Fortress was used as a base by the Imperial Navy. The Mechanical Priests spent a lot of time to crack the energy system and used part of the Blackstone Fortress's energy to deploy a large number of weapon systems and defense facilities on the fortress. No enemy had ever been able to confront this naval base before.

But why did Abaddon, who possessed the "Hand of Darkness" and the "Eye of Night", want to fight the Blackstone Fortress head-on? When Chaos came to the Ruibo Galaxy, Bai Zhan Bai Sheng immediately used two artifacts to shut down the energy system of the Blackstone Fortress, directly rendering all the weapons on the Blackstone Fortress ineffective. The Imperial Navy and the Oil Men on it were dumbfounded and could only be easily bullied by the Chaos Fleet.

Without the fire support of the Blackstone Fortress, the Imperial fleet in the Ribo galaxy was completely wiped out by the Chaos fleet, and the first Blackstone Fortress fell into the hands of Abaddon.

At the same time, Abaddon revealed his other trump card on Savavan, a religious world in another region - the planet killer. This huge starship, built around an energy cannon called the 'Gun of Doom', has the ability to destroy a planet with a single ship. With one blow, Savavan and the 14 billion on it turned into dust in the universe.

The power of the Planet Killer frightened many Imperial worlds in the Gothic Sector, and they surrendered without a fight when faced with the Chaos fleet. Abaddon also gained more supply stations as a result, and later the second Blackstone Fortress was successfully captured by Abaddon.

By this time the Imperial Navy had finally figured out the strength of the Chaos Fleet. The force of this Chaos invasion far exceeded the remaining strength of the Imperial Navy in the Gothic Sector. The Plunderers had at least 20 fleets operating throughout the Gothic Sector. Abaddon also possessed the ultimate weapon, the Planet Killer, and the ability to paralyze the Blackstone Fortress. The situation was not optimistic.

A silver-blue battleship, the Blue Silver Sword, arrived in the Gothic star zone. The superluminal speed of the real universe, which does not rely on the subspace route, allows the Blue Silver Sword to ignore the obstruction of the subspace storm. This battleship will also determine the situation of the Gothic War.

However, why did the Cloud Hammer team, who should have arrived in the Gothic Star Zone and started planning decades ago, arrive only now?

It all started when Gloria didn't eat seriously.

(The transition chapter ends here, and the next chapter is the Gothic War)

(I've read everyone's posts and found a lot of opinions on Gundam/Zaku. Gundam aside, I actually think Zaku is quite suitable for the Warhammer style, but I'll still give it the appearance of a knight and a Titan, just like a Titan used in space)

Py Yibo, a rare original article by Maoke

Records of the Founding of the Northern Song Dynasty

"Master, your merit box is broken!"

When he came to the Northern Song Dynasty, he originally wanted to enjoy the prosperity of the country.

Unfortunately, the time point of travel is wrong and the identity is also wrong.

Although he inherited a small Taoist temple, who made the previous abbot a bad person?

Chapter 99 Late

After everyone decided to go to the Gothic Star Sector, their initial idea was to run to the Gothic Star Sector first and leave a backdoor in the six Black Stone Fortresses owned by the Empire. When Abaddon attacked the Gothic Star Sector, everyone would be able to fish in troubled waters and seize these Black Stone Fortresses.

Considering that Brother Dun has two artifacts with administrator privileges that can force a power outage, no one thought about getting all the Blackstone Fortresses. Everyone's request is not high. Three Blackstone Fortresses are not too much. Instead of letting Brother Dun order self-destruction, it is better to add some energy to everyone's way home.

However, since everyone is a Cloud Hammer, they don't know the exact time of the Gothic War. They only know that it is 41 years after M140. So everyone decided to let Gloria adjust the internal time of the warship after the Gothic Star Sector is arranged, so that everyone can quickly get through these decades. If there are other things in the middle, they can also participate, and Gloria can also figure out all the situations in the Gothic Star Sector during this time.

Plans are usually good, but reality is another matter.

Everyone began to fantasize about the wonderful life after obtaining the energy of Blackstone Fortress, but then Gloria told everyone that they seemed to be late.

"How could it be gone so suddenly after so many decades?"

The reason for all this is that Gloria never shut down the energy system on the Black Stone Fortress when she absorbed it. She also turned on the subspace amplifier on it in order to test some functions of the Black Stone Fortress. This caused the space of the entire universe to enter a state of chaos, and time and space began to become unstable.

Gloria discovered something was wrong only after she finished eating the Blackstone Fortress. However, by then the time inside and outside the universe was no longer equal. When everyone left the universe where the Blackstone Fortress was located, they were already in the 41th year of M144, a full 33 years had passed.

After knowing the reason, everyone was speechless. Gloria, why don’t you eat slower so that everyone can skip the entire Gothic War.

But things have already happened, so what else can everyone say?

Man, What Can I Say?

So everyone had to rush to the Gothic Star Sector without stopping. At this time, the subspace storm had swept the entire Gothic Star Sector. Fortunately, everyone was not affected by the subspace storm at all and directly rushed into the Gothic Star Sector.

"Gloria, where are we now?"

Upon learning that they had arrived in the Gothic Star Sector, everyone wanted to know their location immediately.

"We are approaching the Fularis system, which houses a Black Stone Fortress occupied by the Empire."

An entire star sector is too large for an individual to fight. No one knows where the fighting will break out in the Gothic Star Sector, so Gloria used the simplest method. They can just go directly to where the Blackstone Fortress is. Abaddon will eventually come, right?

Even if Bai Zhan Bai Sheng has not yet set the Black Stone Fortress as its target, everyone can learn about the battle situation in the Gothic Star Sector by asking the Imperial Navy stationed at the Black Stone Fortress.

"At this point in time, how many Blackstone Fortresses has Brother Don captured?" Apu tried hard to search his memory. He now only remembered that Abaddon captured one Blackstone Fortress during the first attack, and he had no idea when he captured the next two.

"Let's go ask the defenders in this galaxy first." Brother Ou suggested that they needed to know the situation of the war before taking the next step.

"Entering Fularis... Signs of a massive warp jump detected!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge Chaos fleet left the Warp not far from the Blue Silver Sword. Among the Chaos fleet that jumped out of the Warp first, the most eye-catching were the two leading super battleships.

One of the peculiarly shaped giant ships made its debut in the Gothic War, and was the ultimate weapon in the hands of the Chaos Warmaster - the Planet Killer.

The other was the Vengeful Spirit, a Queen of Glory-class battleship built by the Imperium during the Great Crusade as the flagship of the Legiones Astartes and the seat of the Primarch.

Since the former Imperial Warmaster and Primarch of the Luna Wolves, Horus Lupercal, was killed by the Emperor, this Primarch's ship went through a series of events and was finally found by the revived Abaddon. It has served as Abaddon's flagship for the next ten thousand years.

For Abaddon, the Vengeful Spirit has extraordinary significance. As long as the Vengeful Spirit is in danger, he will give up the action to preserve the battleship. This is also recorded in the Battle of Vigilant Star.

Faced with such a large number of Chaos warships, everyone naturally dared not move. Without revealing the Emperor's Dream, even the Queen of Glory class would not be able to defeat such a fleet.

After the Chaos fleet emerged from the Warp, everyone saw the two Black Stone Fortresses behind the fleet.

"Brother Dun has already obtained two fortresses?"

No one expected Abaddon's progress to be so fast. Now the Chaos fleet is heading towards the Fularis system, and its target is obviously the third Blackstone Fortress.

"The third Blackstone Fortress...damn it!"

Ap remembered one thing. When Abaddon captured the third Blackstone Fortress, he demonstrated the power of the two Blackstone Fortresses for the first time, and directly captured a planet of the Empire that was heavily guarded and fully prepared to deal with planet killers.

According to the current situation, the Blackstone Fortress should be showing its power in the Flaris galaxy.

"What should we do now?" Awei asked everyone what to do next. With their current strength, can they stop Abaddon from capturing the third Blackstone Fortress?

"Even if we can't win, we have to go. At least we can save some people and leave a good impression in front of the Imperial Navy. This will prevent our future actions from being hindered by the Empire."

Ou Ge made the decision. Since they were already here, they couldn't just watch the people of the Fularis system being killed by Abaddon's Chaos fleet.

Then Ou Ge said to Gloria:

"Gloria, prepare to change the hull. The battle barge is no longer sufficient for the Gothic War."

The relatively meager anti-ship firepower of the battle barges wouldn't be enough in the Gothic War. They couldn't resort to boarding tactics every time, could they? But their opponents wouldn't give them many opportunities to board, and they were facing super-powered battleships like the Vengeful Spirit and the Planet Killer. If they wanted to intervene in the Gothic War, they needed larger warships with more powerful guns.

"What's the target of the change?" Gloria asked. On the battle barge, there were only the Empire's battleships left, and they could only choose from battleship models built before the Heresy, because the Imperial battleships built after the Heresy could no longer be used by the Astartes.

"Should we just go for a big one?" Luo Chen suggested. They would all run away after the fight anyway, so they might as well go straight for the Queen of Glory level.

Apu thought it was a good idea and said:

"The problem is that the Glorious Queen class is just that. How am I going to explain this to the Imperial Navy during the Gothic War?"

"Don't be impatient, let me think about it carefully. I remember that the Emperor-class and Oberon-class are both battleships from the Great Crusade period. Let's choose from these two." Brother Ou said after thinking.

In terms of positioning, the Emperor-class battleships are more inclined to be command ships and space carriers, while the Oberon-class battleships are more balanced and are a panacea.

"I suggest you hurry up. If we delay any longer, we won't be able to reach the Fularis system before the Chaos fleet."

"Then the Emperor level!"

Ou Ge didn't know much about the Oberon class, but many Emperor-class battleships were built and lost during the Great Crusade. The Empire once built an Emperor-class battleship from a hulk in space, so it was relatively easy to explain to everyone.

"Emperor level... With this name, what if the yellow-skinned guy comes to the door?" Xianyu asked worriedly.

"Just come to our door. Since we have come to the Gothic War, can we stay out of it? If the Yellow Man comes to our door, we can also talk to him about how to save humanity while changing or ignoring this anthropomorphic empire." Apu said to everyone. When they were in Isil, the Old Man Huang had already come to them in the form of possession. Sooner or later, they would have to talk to the Old Man Huang face to face.

"If you want to change, just change. Don't think too much about it." Er Yu didn't care what he turned into, as long as his brothers didn't turn into space junk.

"Hull modifications completed."

A few seconds after making the decision, Gloria changed the battle barge into an Emperor-class battleship. With previous experience, Gloria was already very skilled in changing the hull.

"Head to the Flaris galaxy and try to arrive before the Chaos fleet. We have to remind the defenders to evacuate as soon as possible!" said Brother Ou.

Everyone came too hastily, and with Abaddon already having two Black Stone Fortresses in his hands, the Ferraris Galaxy could not be saved by any means.

"Don't worry, we can catch up."

The Fularis system is an important strategic node of the Imperial Navy and the location of Blackstone One, one of the six Blackstone Fortresses of the Empire. After learning that the Chaos traitors were targeting the Blackstone Fortress, the Imperial defenders in the Fularis system immediately made defensive preparations.

Flaris II is the core world in the Flaris system, and Blackstone I is also docked near this planet. Flaris II had just upgraded its orbital defense system some time ago. Combined with the Imperial fleet in space, the defenders here are confident that they can resist the attacks of the Chaos traitors. Even the planet killer will be destroyed by the orbital artillery and the firepower of the Imperial Navy before the main gun is fired.

But as mentioned before, plans are always good, and the imperial defenders of Flaris had no idea what they were about to face.

Just as the Imperial defenders were confidently preparing to welcome the arrival of the Chaos fleet, a silver-blue Emperor-class battleship appeared on the radar of the Fularis Navy.

"Emperor-class battleship?"

The commander-in-chief of the Fularis garrison thought he had misheard after hearing the news, because there was only one Emperor-class battleship in the entire Gothic Sector, and that was the flagship of the Gothic Sector battle fleet - the Divine Right.

If it was the Divine Power, it would definitely be accompanied by the main fleet of the Gothic Sector, but this Emperor-class battleship was different from the Divine Power in appearance, and it was a single ship that appeared in the galaxy.

Without waiting for the Flaris defenders to ask, Ou Ge took the initiative to send a message to the defenders:

"Imperial soldiers stationed in Fularis, I know you are very confused about our appearance, but there is no time to explain now. You must evacuate the Fularis system immediately. The power of the traitors is beyond our ability to deal with now."

"You want us to evacuate immediately? What a joke! The defenders of Fularis are more than enough to deal with those damned traitors. Even the planet killer will fall before us. Now, reveal your identities, or we will regard you as accomplices of the Chaos traitors!"

The commander of the Flaris garrison replied to everyone. He was arrogant and did not think that the Chaos traitors were as scary as imagined. If they did not reveal their identities, even an Emperor-class battleship would be defeated by Flaris's firepower.

"We are the Nebula Hammer Chapter, the Astartes warriors who protect humanity."

"It's impossible for the Astartes to possess Emperor-class battleships. How could such a low-level lie fool us?"

The commander ordered the Imperial fleet to aim at the Emperor-class battleship, and it could be shot down with just a single order.
