The Bizarre Adventures of Cloud Hammer

Apu: "Isn't this exactly what we want?"

The great cause of saving mankind cannot be accomplished in a day. No matter what the future holds, everyone should first prepare to carve out a piece of land for themselves and protect a small number of people. Various plans are also developed around this foundation.

In addition to various documents, the Emperor also gave everyone the contact information of the Emperor's Eyes located throughout the galaxy. When everyone needs help, they can contact these "retired" old corns.

"That's all we have. It seems we've wronged the yellow-skinned guy."

This box of things sent by the Emperor is very useful for everyone's actions within the Empire. It can help them avoid most of the troubles. At least they don't have to worry about being discovered by the Empire for secretly enclosing land.

"With these documents, we can work without any hesitation." Brother Ou closed the box and asked Gloria to keep it safe. As for whether the yellow-skinned man had marked it or not, it didn't matter anymore.

"Have you decided where we are going? Should we stay in the Hazy Star Region or go to other star regions?" Awei asked.

"I've thought about it a long time ago."

Ou Ge opened the galactic map and pointed to the border of the extreme star field, which was almost out of the range of the Astronomican, and was close to a star region of the Ghoul Stars.

The location may be a bit remote, but it will definitely allow everyone to show their skills and will not delay the progress of energy collection.

"Maybe we can find someone to work for us~"

After taking care of some things, such as retrieving the Titan placed on the Forge World, everyone left the Gothic Sector and headed for the decided location.

Several months after the Nebula Hammer left the Gothic Sector, a fleet from the Blood Angels arrived in the Gothic Sector.

"What! Already gone?"

(I was madly squeezed in the few days before the holiday. I will try to finish these chapters in these two days, and then write a stage summary and talk about the plan)

Chapter 115 Blood Angels

Few among the Astartes lived to the age of Louis Dante, who was already over seven hundred years old by M41.150 and had served as Chapter Master of the Blood Angels for nearly two hundred years.

But for Dante, being able to become Chapter Master was not due to his own outstanding abilities, but pure luck. During the Calius Heresy at the end of M40, the Blood Angels suffered heavy casualties. The Chapter Master and all the Company Captains except Dante were killed in the battle. As the only surviving Company Captain, Dante was elected as the new Chapter Master by the Chapter Chaplains and the Holy Blood Priests. If it were not for this incident, Dante could hardly imagine that he, a "mediocrity" who became a Company Captain after more than years, could become the Chapter Master of the Blood Angels.

(Note: The tragedy of Sikorius was eaten by the book)

It was for this reason that Dante always felt that his title of Chapter Master was somewhat unworthy. He believed that among the brothers who died in that tragedy, there were too many who were better than him. If only one of them had survived, the title of Chapter Master would not have been passed to him, an "old man." (Compared to Calgar and Rogue, Dante's promotion was indeed slow.)

So for nearly two hundred years, Dante has been observing the promising talents among the new generation of Blood Angels. When their qualifications are met, Dante will immediately step down and let more outstanding people lead the Blood Angels. However, before that, Dante will have to serve as the chapter master for another one or two hundred years.

During the Gothic War, other star regions were also not at peace. Many warbands took advantage of the Great Plunderers to enter the real universe, burning, killing and looting in the Imperial world. Even after the Great Plunderers retreated from the Gothic Sector, there was no sign of them stopping. This was especially true for the Emperor's Sons warband that believed in Slaanesh. There were reports of them appearing in almost all four star regions except the Solar Sector.

The traitors began to become active, and the Empire's Astartes Chapter naturally became busy. Dante also led several companies of the Blood Angels to fight against the traitors in the Ultramarine, and at the same time trained the newly born Blood Angels.

Before the Gothic War came to a complete end, the Blood Angels received another distress signal from another world. Dante led his men to rush over to support them, and after paying certain sacrifices, they won the space battle. However, the traitors had more troops on the ground than the Blood Angels, so Dante could only let the regiment focus on defense first, and then switch to offense after more support troops arrived.

After more than half a year of stalemate with the traitors, the Blood Angels finally received their reinforcements.

"Sorry for the long wait, cousins of the Blood Angels, the Lions will fight alongside you!" The Lions, led by Elio, came to support the Blood Angels.

"You've arrived at the perfect time, Tianshi's cousins."

After Dante communicated with Elio, the two decided to launch an attack immediately without giving the traitor any time to react. In the past six months, Dante had figured out the enemy's situation and he was confident that he could defeat the traitor in one go.

The result was similar to what Dante expected. The two chapters joined forces to break through the enemy's defense line. Dante led the Holy Blood Guard to behead the lord of the Chaos warband, while Elio led the warriors of the two chapters to clean up the Chaos Space Marines.

"Be worthy of the blood of Sanguinius!"

Under the cover of the Holy Blood Guard, Dante successfully killed the Chaos Lord, and the battle was basically declared a victory.

But at this time a priest reported bad news to Dante. A warrior had an attack of black rage during the battle and was seen by Elio, the captain of the Celestial Lions.

This gave Dante a headache. The two genetic defects of Bloodthirst and Black Rage had been the secret of the Blood Angels since the Legion era, and they had always been trying to avoid exposing this secret to non-Blood Angels chapters. Once exposed to outsiders, the Blood Angels would usually not kill them, but would also find ways to keep the secret or erase the memory.

It would be fine if it was just seen by ordinary soldiers, but it happened to be seen by the chapter commander. I hope that Chapter Commander Elio will be understanding enough.

When Dante found Elio, the Black Rage warrior had been subdued and dragged away by the battle brothers. Dante was about to give Elio a good "explanation", but Elio suddenly said:

"Couldn't that warrior just now recover after entering that state? Lord Dante?"

"?"

These words were said so naturally that Dante was stunned. Then he realized that Chapter Captain Elio seemed to have said something extremely important to the Blood Angels.

"Master Elio, are you suggesting that you've ever seen the Son of Sanguinius enter that state and recover?"

"Isn't it possible?" Elio asked, looking at Dante's shocked expression and realizing that he seemed to have said something wrong.

When Dante heard Elio say this, he immediately put his hand on Elio's shoulder and said:

"Could you please tell me more about what you know? Chapter Master Elio, this matter is extremely important to us Blood Angels."

Elio's scalp tingled when he heard Dante's honorific. He wanted to say that he had made a slip of the tongue, but looking at Dante's attitude, he knew that the Tianshi Legion would not be able to leave unless he explained clearly.

Elio swore not to reveal the specific identities of the Cloud Hammer members, so he only said that he saw a senior from the Nebula Hammer Legion enter that state and kill all the enemies before returning to normal.

"Nebula Hammer? Is that senior called Seteface?" Dante remembered the intelligence sent by the Space Wolves decades ago. In a chapter called Nebula Hammer, there was a member of the Holy Blood Guard who had once joined the Spirit of Vengeance with Sanguinius. The senior's name was Seteface.

Upon learning that such an old veteran was still alive, Dante first confirmed the authenticity of the information. After receiving the Space Wolves' assurance, Dante was very excited. Wasn't such an old veteran more qualified than himself to be the Chapter Master of the Blood Angels? At the same time, he was puzzled as to why this old veteran didn't return to the Blood Angels.

Upon learning that the whereabouts of the Nebula Hammer were unknown, Dante put the matter aside for the time being. The chapter had a lot of affairs to attend to during that period. Although the veterans were important, the affairs of the chapter were always the top priority.

"Dante-sama knows about Seteface-senpai?"

Elio was a little embarrassed. Since Dante knew about the Nebula Hammer, was there any need for him to keep it secret?

"I only know that there is such an old Blood Angel in the Nebula Hammer, but I know nothing about other things. Chapter Master Elio does not need to reveal everything about the Nebula Hammer. The Blood Angels only want to know everything about Senior Seteface. Please, this is really important to us."

At Dante's request, Elio finally gave in. Since Dante knew about Senior Seteface's seniority, it shouldn't be considered a violation of his oath if he only revealed things related to Senior Seteface.

Besides, given the current situation, if Elio insisted on not telling Dante, Dante would probably have to invite him and the Celestial Lions to have tea in Baal.

Elio told Dante what he knew about Xianyu and handed him a video recording. This was a video recording he had made when he was in Isil. It was a video recording of Xianyu fighting with eighty-eight Khorne warriors in the arena. It recorded the whole process of Xianyu entering the Black Rage state and recovering.

This record was originally kept by Elio for his own study. By learning the fighting skills of Xianyu in the record, Elio has become much stronger in the past few decades. He is ready to extract the fighting part and use it as a combat teaching material for the Tianshi warriors.

"Thank you, Chapter Master Elio. The Blood Angels owe the Celestial Lions a great favor."

After getting the records, Dante immediately summoned the top leaders of the Blood Angels to watch them together. After seeing Xianyu enter the Black Rage and recover, Dante and the top leaders of the Blood Angels were extremely excited. Blood thirst and Black Rage had plagued the Blood Angels for too long, and now they finally had hope of curing these two diseases.

"We must find Senior Setphis immediately!"

The Blood Angels' high-ranking officials unanimously proposed that the Sons of Sanguinius needed the help of this senior, and Dante also needed a respected senior to succeed him as the Chapter Master of the Blood Angels, so this matter could not be delayed.

But the question is, does anyone know the location of the Nebula Hammer?

Dante asked Elio again, but Elio said that the Battle of Isildur happened decades ago and he didn't know where the Nebula Hammer was now.

"This is a matter of great importance. We must return to Baal first, then gather all the successors and have the Sons of Sanguinius work together to find the whereabouts of the Nebula Hammer."

Solving the genetic defect is of vital importance to the Sons of Sanguinius. All the sub-groups of the Holy Bloodline need to contribute, and finding Senior Seteface is urgent.

……

A few months later, the Blood Angels rushed back to their home planet Baal. Before Dante could issue a call to all the successors, a successor group of the Blood Angels - the descendants of Sanguinius - arrived in Baal.

Representatives of the descendants of Sanguinius told Dante about their experiences in the Gothic Sector.

"You and Senior Seteface joined the Spirit of Vengeance in the Gothic Sector? Seteface even wore the armor of the Holy Blood Guard and fought a fierce battle with the traitor leader Abaddon?" Dante asked.

"Yes, although Lord Seteface was ultimately defeated by Abaddon, fortunately his life was not in danger."

Dante breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Seteface was fine. He then asked the representative of the sub-group:

"Why didn't you come and inform me earlier?"

"This one……"

After the Battle of Sindlgaeus, because Xianyu said that his affairs should be kept secret, the Descendants of Sanguinius who participated in the Gothic War first returned to the chapter fleet in the Storm Star Field and informed the chapter leader of Xianyu's affairs, which took them a lot of time.

Then the senior members of the descendants of Sanguinius discussed whether or not to tell the mother group about Xianyu's incident. Finally, the chapter leader decided to inform the mother group. After all, they were the Blood Guards who fought alongside the Archangels, and the Blood Angels had the right to know about this matter.

So the descendants of Sanguinius sent a fleet to Baal, and by the time they arrived, the Gothic War was almost officially over.

"Where is Senior Seteface now? Is he still in the Gothic Sector?" Dante asked anxiously.

"The senior said that his chapter will remain in the Gothic Sector until the traitors there are completely eliminated."

Upon learning that the Nebula Hammer was still in the Gothic Sector, Dante immediately ordered a Blood Angels fleet to set off immediately and rush to the Gothic Sector as quickly as possible, determined to bring the Nebula Hammer and Senior Seteface back to Baal.

After delivering the message, the descendants of Sanguinius prepared to leave. Dante kept them and said that he would soon summon all the sub-groups to discuss an important matter, so they should stay in Baal and leave after the meeting.

The Blood Angels' fleet headed non-stop for the Gothic Sector, but by the time they arrived, the Gothic War had ended long ago. The Blood Angels captain who led the fleet found Admiral Ravensburg and asked about the whereabouts of the Nebula Hammer. The answer he got was that the Nebula Hammer had left a few months ago.

"What! Already gone?"

The Blood Angels Captain felt a little dizzy. How could he have missed this? He asked Ravensborg again:

"General, do you know where the Nebula Hammer is?"

"I'm not sure. Perhaps Director Cambrius knows. Nebula Hammer contacted him before leaving."

Not willing to give up any chance, the Blood Angels fleet rushed to the Gothic Forge World and found Cambrius.

"Where did the Nebula Hammer go? I'd like to know that, too, but they left after retrieving their belongings."

Cambrius also didn't know where the Nebula Hammer had gone, and the clues to the Nebula Hammer were interrupted again.

Unable to find the Nebula Hammer, the Blood Angels fleet had to return to Baal. After hearing this, Dante did not blame the captain, but just lamented his bad luck.

By this time, Dante had already summoned the Blood Angels. The closer chapters had already sent representatives to Baal, while those farther away would still have to wait for a while.

A few months later, most of the Blood Angels sent representatives to Baal. Dante convened a meeting and told the representatives about the Nebula Hammer and Salted Fish. The various chapters were shocked by this. They did not expect that a Blood Angel from ten thousand years ago was still alive in the world.

When Dante released the video recording of Xianyu, all the representatives of the sub-groups dropped their jaws. Not many people paid attention to Xianyu's combat effectiveness. Being able to recover quickly from the Black Rage was the most unimaginable thing for the Sons of Sanguinius.

"This elder Seteface will be the key to our Son of Sanguinius overcoming his genetic flaw!" Dante said excitedly. "He is now with the Nebula Hammer Chapter. I hope all of you can devote some of your energy to finding this chapter. This is related to the fate of our Son of Sanguinius."

The representatives of the sub-groups basically all agreed, because this matter was too important for them who were trapped in the trouble of genetic defects. However, not all sub-groups wanted to solve their own genetic defects, such as the Flesh Tearers. However, the Flesh Tearers could not sing against everyone in this occasion.

After sending off the daughter regiment, Dante prepared to contact the Ultramarines again. He remembered that the Space Wolves said that there was an ever-victorious soldier of the Ultramarines Legion in the Nebula Hammer, and he was also the nominal commander of the Nebula Hammer.

As long as we can get help from the Ultramarines and their successors, the difficulty of finding the Nebula Hammer will be much less.

"I hope the Ultramarines can help."

Thinking about this, Dante began to write.

(I had a fever yesterday and stayed at home all day, so I couldn’t update. Sorry)

Chapter 116: So Cool

The fragments of the battleship fell into the atmosphere from orbit, turning into blazing meteors that set the sky on fire.

The despicable traitors landed in the city in an airdrop pod and began their genocidal killing until all life within sight on the planet was wiped out. Then they would go to the next world and let this Shadow Crusade continue to bring suffering to the humans in the Five Hundred Worlds.

Morand, a new recruit of the Creed Knights, looked at the civilians fleeing around him. He had no idea what was happening around him or why he was here.

who I am? where am I? What am I doing?

Morand remembered that he was originally in the training ground of the Chapter Monastery, practicing with the instructor, but just as he was holding the training sword, he suddenly ran to this place.

A shell landed near Morand, and the explosion killed the fleeing civilians around him. Morand subconsciously raised his hand to block the flying shrapnel. He saw that he was wearing a suit of power armor, but he had not yet implanted the black shell and was not qualified to wear the Astartes' power armor.

Then Morand discovered that the model of the power armor he was wearing was different from the power armor worn by the veterans in the regiment, and the various decorations and patterns on it made the power armor look more gorgeous.

Morand looked at his right shoulder, where was printed the U-shaped emblem representing the Ultramarines. However, the Knights of the Creed Chapter where Morand belonged was only a sub-chapter of the Ultramarines and could not use the same chapter emblem as the parent chapter.

What exactly is going on?

Morand was still thinking about what was happening to him when the traitors appeared before his eyes. They chased the fleeing civilians and fought with the arriving Ultramarines.

The Word Bearers and the World Eaters, traitors!

The inner voice informed Morand of the identities of these traitors, and an uncontrollable rage rose from his heart. A World Eater rushed towards Morand, and Morand's body moved, fighting with the World Eater with the chainsaw sword in his hand and killing it.

Morand was also stunned when he killed the World Eater. As a new recruit, he did not have such combat skills. From the beginning to the end of the battle, his body moved all by itself.

After killing the World Eater, Morand took off the incendiary rifle from his waist and fired, and together with his Ultramarines battle brothers, he eliminated the wave of traitors in front of them. But this was just the beginning. The traitor's airdrop pods continued to land, and the whole city was already engulfed in war.

"Brother Mordred, take your men to the central area as soon as possible. Lord Uldren needs support!" An Extreme Warrior shouted to Morand.

Mordred? Are you talking to me?

"I'll be there right away. We must make these traitors pay the price!" Mordred replied.

At this time, Morand also became a bystander. He followed Modred and the Ultramarines through multiple areas, watching one traitor after another die at the hands of Modred and the Ultramarines.

These warriors are so strong...

Morand marveled at the strength of Mordred and the Ultramarines. Would he be able to become as strong as these warriors in the future?

There were battles everywhere in the city. At first, there were only traitor infantry, but soon enemy vehicles began to appear on the road. The casualties of Mordred and the Ultramarines continued to increase. Fortunately, other Ultramarines arrived with vehicles to support them.

"Keep going, Brother Mordred, leave this to us!"

With the help of their battle brothers, Mordred and his team bypassed the area where the enemy vehicles appeared, but they encountered obstacles again when approaching the center area.
