A life of ups and downs, but in Warhammer 40K

Because within the crowd, a beautiful golden gaze was firmly fixed on something. Of course, this wasn't the yellow-skinned helmet; the golden radiance came from the annihilation golden blood it had given itself.

"Holy crap, what's this girl doing here?!"

Meanwhile, another perspective.

"Ok?"

Elena, covered in wounds, frowned deeply. For some reason, she felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity with that second-rate motor enthusiast, even an urge to worship him.

This struck him as odd, but the feeling quickly vanished.

"Strange."

At this moment, Elena couldn't help but mutter to herself that she decided to have a good talk with this person later.

"........."

Meanwhile, the Imperial Guards' attention was drawn to an Astartes behind Su Can, who was now about the same height as him, and whose height was exceptionally tall.

He couldn't even fit into ordinary power armor, given his height exceeding that of the yet-to-be-released Proto-Forged Space Marines. His power armor was clearly handcrafted by a master craftsman, far from ordinary.

What was even more terrifying was the sense of oppression he felt emanating from this person. He had only ever felt this kind of oppression from his own shield guard company commander, even though there were no specific divisions of duties among the Imperial Guards.

However, in reality, in terms of proportion, it is basically divided into marshal, tribunal, and shield company commander.

Therefore, those who can become captains of the Shield Guard are already the first-tier warriors in the Imperial Guard. Where did this Astartes come from?

Thinking of this, the Imperial Guard looked at his shoulder armor, and then his face became somewhat tense.

Because there was a large Blood Raven symbol above it, he was aware of these bizarre things.

so........

"Where did you find these people?"

At this moment, this was the only thought in the Imperial Guard, although the difference between a regular Imperial Guard and a regular Astartes was about the same as the difference between an Astartes and a mortal.

However, he also knew that there were some formidable figures within Astartes, not to mention the three pillars of the Empire. Calgar, Logan, and Dante—he had met the chapter leaders of the Minotaur Chapters, and they had exerted the same pressure on him.

Therefore, the Imperial Guard was well aware that there were some Astartes that even he could not defeat.

Moreover, Abaddon, who had been blessed by the Four Gods, had fought against Waldo, the first Marshal of the Imperial Guard.

But no matter what, we are still on the battlefield.

In a chaotic and fragmented state, the empire, ironically, possessed a powerful unifying principle. Consequently, it rarely collapsed during large-scale wars.

You can call the Empire corrupt and inefficient, but nobody says it's cowardly. Sometimes, the Empire's bravery is even baffling, or rather, it seems a bit idiotic.

Soon, a group of people gathered in the war council hall. However, due to his absolute prestige and achievements, Commissar Arrek was in charge of this war council meeting.

After the Horus Rebellion, only humans were qualified to hold the positions of Imperial Warmaster or Absolute Commander.

As for Su Can, he remained a low-key observer throughout, enveloping himself in a layer of mysterious power. Although the bomb-wielding girl didn't say anything, her golden eyes were fixed on him.

That drop of essence blood was created by him using the seed of destruction from that time, so it naturally had a kind of affinity with his family.

Don't look at me.

He couldn't help but mutter to himself, and at this moment, Su Can became obedient.

"Our biggest enemy this time is the orc warlord Vazdaka, who is a clan leader skilled in high-speed combat. So the biggest difficulty in killing him is capturing him. We were short-handed before, but now that reinforcements have arrived, we can take action."

At this moment, Arek also began to deploy his battle plan, the first of which was the most distinctive feature of Warhammer: the holy boarding maneuver, where one would board whenever in doubt.

Chapter 60 Elena's Doubts

"You always know how to switch sides, just like Warhammer's noble melee combat."

Watching the group of people in front of him quickly discuss their battle plan, Su Can felt a strong urge to complain.

But he held back. Su Can didn't think he was better than them. These seasoned veterans' battle plans were definitely many times better than his, a newbie's. Su Can also knew that if you don't speak, no one will know you're an idiot.

Moreover, the reason why Su Can didn't dare to speak at this moment was that a certain golden eye was firmly locked on him.

He even overheard people asking Elena if she had taken a fancy to any young priest. After all, even battle nuns weren't ascetics like the Astartes. They were allowed to marry, and the Order itself generally encouraged these battle nuns to marry.

After all, those who can become combat nuns all have excellent foundations. Their offspring will also be quite capable, and although combat nuns and mechanical priests seem a bit strange...

However, being able to become a Mechanicus priest at such a young age already makes him a promising young talent in the Warhammer world.

Fortunately, the current situation is a serious combat environment, so no one said much.

However, they quickly devised a complete battle plan in which Commissar Arek would directly accompany the Titan Legion, appearing on the front lines in his super-heavy Imperial Poison Blade tank.

As long as he appears on the battlefield, the orcs will launch a full-scale charge towards his location; only in this way can they force that slippery Vazdaka out.

If he dies, the orcs will immediately fall into internal strife, and they will have more time to calmly defeat the orcs.

As for Su Can's army of over 100,000, they were placed at the very front, mainly because their equipment was the most elite and best preserved so far, making them the only option.

Su Can had no objection to this, of course; troops that haven't experienced combat training are ultimately insufficient if they rely solely on exercises, so battlefield experience is essential.

However, just as Su Can was idly pacing and daydreaming, he realized on the other side that he seemed to have become the focus of everyone's attention.

Viktor was covered in cold sweat, leaving Su Can completely bewildered.

Just then, a tall figure appeared in front of Su Can; it was none other than Arek.

It's worth noting that although Su Can is 1.8 meters tall, which is not bad in modern times, he looks very small compared to someone who can fight against Astartes.

Especially the enormous claw on his hand, which exuded a chilling aura.

“I need someone to assist me in commanding that army. As Viktor’s student, you should know this massive Apostolic Army best.”

"um, yes."

Hearing this, Su Can blinked. The old political commissar was right. He had trained this army himself, and he was indeed the most suitable person to command it.

After all, he simply couldn't stand the empire's traditional army, so the initial hundred or so officers were all trained by him personally. Later, he also had them lead their own troops and rapidly expand the force.

"I need you to come with me to the front lines and become the vanguard of the main force."

"Wait, he's still too young."

Upon hearing this, Viktor was stunned. Just moments before, during their discussion, the veteran general Arek had immediately recognized the difference in his army.

He could sense that although he had a great reputation in the local star sector, he had none among these soldiers.

So since he intends to use himself as a base, he must have someone who can command him.

Victor is ultimately a wise ruler, and at this time he needs to sit in the center and be in charge of the Titan Legion's command.

So, relying on his intuition, Arek immediately identified Su Can.

At this moment, Viktor panicked, not because he was worried about Su Can's safety. He knew Su Can's fighting prowess all too well; Su Can had easily toyed with Ariman, the Champion of the Tzeentch Gods, in a one-on-one fight.

But the problem is, if this guy gets carried away, who knows what he might pull out?

"It's decided then. I have high hopes for you, young man. And I see you haven't completed the mechanic priest exam yet. I'll help you apply after this war."

Arek glanced at Su Can, who stood before him neither servile nor arrogant, and even held a hint of scrutiny in his eyes. He was very satisfied. As a general, he disliked cowards. This kind of young man with backbone was exactly what he liked best.

"no problem."

Upon hearing this, Su Can immediately agreed, leaving Viktor with no other option.

He could actually issue Su Can a certificate as a mechanical priest directly, but the problem was that he needed to find a casting world to register him.

As for having Su Can take the assessment, let's forget about that.

Su Can has no chance of passing the assessment, not because he lacks the necessary skills. It's like many attending physicians from China who go to America only to find they don't even have a medical license.

Su Can has hardly ever undergone the Empire's full assessment, so it's highly unlikely he'll pass. Therefore, if you manage to anger Su Can, he might do something drastic.

If Su Can were to go for something big, who knows what kind of trouble it would cause.

"Now that we've come from afar, let's rest for a while. I'll prepare the best food to reward you properly, and we'll launch the attack tomorrow."

At that moment, when the two of them were together, Arek set the tone.

It wasn't that he was being slow; he simply needed a day to complete the troop deployment. These days, everything takes time, and a day was already quite fast.

Furthermore, the army Su Can brought was the Guardians of the Faith, not the Imperial Astral Army. Therefore, even Arrek needed to make a gesture, rather than directly mobilizing them.

The only thing that surprised him was that these Guardians of the Church were well-equipped, but they looked like they were from the Astral Army. There were none of those random cyborgs, but Arek didn't bother to dwell on it.

Some tech enthusiasts might try to steal the Astral Army from the Department of Military Affairs, provided they pay a certain price. They could easily bring them under their own command; it just goes to show that anything is possible in this grotesque world.

Now that things have come to an end, the war has temporarily come to a halt.

Arek then mobilized a large amount of supplies as previously agreed, prioritizing the replenishment of Su Can's troops.

.......

But very soon...

"What are all these things?"

At this moment, in Su Can's unit, a group of people were also looking at the resources that the Empire had transferred with some confusion.

"They're all energy bars, we... *sob*."

However, as soon as he finished speaking, his brows furrowed.

This was also Su Can's insurance policy; he used his memories and destiny to insure these people. After all, his current strength was too weak to be exposed.

Therefore, he used his memory and destiny to insure everything, hiding all information related to the Ark.

They were unable to spread the news after leaving the Ark, and of course, these people did so voluntarily.

They were all first-generation immigrants to the Empire, so they naturally knew about the Empire's situation. Therefore, they did not want their homeland to be destroyed, especially since their families were all on the Ark.

As Su Can said, they finally felt like human beings living here; the children weren't in factories but in schools. And they weren't eating garbage or waste, but real food.

Therefore, they are willing to sacrifice everything to protect all of this.

But now, looking at the energy bars, the group fell silent, after all, Su Can's standard was four dishes and one soup.

His ark has two cabins: one is an urban production plant, and the other is an ecological cabin, which is currently sufficient to sustain a billion people.

With a population of less than 100 million, Su Can, besides supplying internal needs, also had agricultural products auctioned off on nearby planets, even though subspace was unstable.

However, this movement between star sectors is actually quite stable without the interference of warp gods, and the nearest Mandeville point is less than half a light-year away from his location.

With the help of the faster-than-light engine, a large quantity of supplies could be sold in just over a month, but Su Can wasn't Indian. So naturally, he wouldn't sell the food rations; he'd keep about one out of every ten produced.

He kept five portions of the supplies and sold the rest. Now, his stored resources are enough to feed his Ark world for decades, even if the population grows rapidly.

Although Su Can forced these troops to eat Imperial food for one week every month in order to prepare them for future battles, this was the most devastating time for these young men who were not yet twenty years old.

Looking at the mountain of fresh energy bars, a group of people wore uncomfortable expressions.

Su Can gave them energy bars with a shelf life of 100 years, but this time they were all fresh. The ingredients were also of good quality, so it was already considered a treat.

Despite the group's devastated expressions, Su Can still provided them with enough food.

"Everyone eat, it's their kindness. Tomorrow we will face the Orc army head-on, together with our great master."

Seeing the group of people standing there in a daze, their political commissar immediately reminded them. However, his expression remained relatively calm as he spoke.

Most of these soldiers came to Su Can's place when they were very young and didn't remember much, but this political commissar is now almost twenty years old.

Therefore, having very vivid memories of his days in the Imperial Industrial World, he naturally knew that this was a feast for the Imperial workers.

Furthermore, he didn't object to the fixed monthly quota; in fact, he was already eating quite well. At least Su Can hadn't given them ant beef, that stuff was just awful.

Furthermore, ant meat is actually unsuitable as a weapon, mainly because it's impossible to completely eradicate these creatures. It would allow ant-beef to spread across the planet, making subsequent control of them even more costly.

As for those that can defeat ants and cows, they are basically useless.

So, although they were reluctant, the group obediently began to eat. They knew that the empire's war was incredibly long. All resources had to be used efficiently, and they wanted to save as much as they could for now.

..........

Meanwhile, on the top floor of the Nest City, Su Can stood with his arms crossed, staring blankly at the clouds below.

"war......."

He then poured himself a glass of wine, and began to think about what to do tomorrow.

Although Su Can was somewhat excited to be charging forward alongside this legend, he was more worried about what would happen if he pulled out some of his little cat gadgets.

For example, wouldn't summoning a Khorne Archdemon and its army terrify that old man Arek?

He didn't think the war would be so easy, or rather, in Warhammer, everything going smoothly meant things weren't going smoothly.

Last time, he just wanted to find some materials to deal with the problems of his crazy undead, but he ended up fighting with Ahriman.
