The Astartes Family's Notebook

If strategic supplies can be obtained from the Imperial arsenal, then seizing tactical timing to launch a counterattack or even break out of the Eye of Terror in one fell swoop is possible.

The thought of this sweet future brought tears to Isela's eyes.

The only problem...

Kaz grabbed Ysera's braid and started shaking it.

"Damn Eldar monkey mother, the Necropolis's tomb world? You messed with me!"

Isela's guards tried to draw their guns, but she stopped them with a hand gesture.

"Haven't you humans been digging up the graves of space dead all this time? So, how about this surprise? Do you like it?"

Kaz was so angry at White Sprout's shamelessness that he laughed.

However, the fur of the Adalings is really resilient. It feels similar to that of a high-grade Sgugh. I was a little excited just now and really used my strength.

This didn't even break Ysera's braid.

The person who plucked the hair will be utterly disgraced.

Chapter 459 The Black Stone Chronicle

Hand hands, Loud loudest.

-------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------

There are three habitable planets in the galaxy.

A star recorded by the empire, belonging to the barbaric world, with a special tax exemption period of three hundred years.

One of them was not recorded by the Empire, was maliciously developed by the planet's governor, and the partners are unknown, but it seems to have a very important origin.

The last one is theoretically habitable, but it is being exploited as a mining world by the other two worlds in the same star system.

money!

money! !

This is all the Emperor's money!!!

When the local governor and the oil enthusiasts discovered that Katz had arrived with the expeditionary fleet, they thought something terrible had happened and were extremely nervous.

After all, tax evasion is actually a pretty serious matter.

But Katz pretended to be angry for a moment, and that was it.

This kind of thing is happening all over the empire, and the Taiping Star Region is the hardest hit. As a native of the Taiping Star Region, Kaz is already used to it. This is nothing compared to what's to come.

But something's off about you guys, Zhao.Akada's branch base?

I, Kaz, am not well-read. Isn't Zhao Arcada in the Storm Starfield, located at the very edge of the Milky Way's spiral arm, a world famous for forging by the Empire? How did he end up opening a branch base in the northeast corner of the Empire's map, from the very southwest corner? This literally means he's traversed the entire Milky Way.

"Lord Samar, since you are knowledgeable, we won't try to fool you with some vague nonsense. The main thing is that there are mines here."

"Our great sage Zhao Akada, who forged our world, once said that rare mineral deposits are equivalent to precious knowledge, and we should acquire them at any cost, even if they are far away in the East."

Is that what the old saying goes?

Kaz started frantically fighting between his left and right brains: "Come out, my memories from my past life, come out now!"

Then Kaz racked his brains but still couldn't recall any detailed information about this Zhao Akada Forging World.

All I remember is that this casting world is suspected of being heretical, and that the CNC mechs in this casting world seem to have crossed the boundaries defined by the Crimson Protocol.

Furthermore, this forging world is highly skilled in the study of psionic energy.

The last piece of information is unrelated to Cloud Hammer's memories from his previous life; it was something Kars learned from the Wings of Desolation after he became the leader.

The Empire has always maintained strict control over psionic devices, whether they amplify or suppress psionic energy.

So even though the Astartes Church faced a real need for anti-psychic warfare, Mars was still demanding bribes and was very inefficient.

So besides genuine Mars merchandise, are there any...?

Yes, yes, my brother, Zhao. Akada, have a look into this casting world.

This forging world has no unique STC templates, no kaz knows what the Titan Legion is called or what configuration it has, and doesn't even know what kaz the flagship products have.

Kaz knew one thing: Zhao Arcada dared to defy the odds and customize psionic devices for the Astartes that Mars wouldn't dare sell.

Everyone in the various factions within the Storm Starfield knew about this, but they all tacitly kept quiet about it.

Given Zhao Arcadana's geographical location, the Mars headquarters couldn't possibly organize a proper academic discussion without the full support of the local strongmen in the Storm Starfield.

In the forging world where the empire is divided into factions, everyone has their own unique skills; you'll get used to it.

However, despite this, Kaz still couldn't understand what had gotten into Zhao Akada, that he would cross the entire galaxy to open a branch base in the northeast corner of the galaxy.

This behavior is really baffling.

Then Ysera, in a good mood, answered Kars's question.

"According to your human terminology, there is a Black Rock Fortress near this star system."

"Um?!"

No, sis, where the hell did you get here?

I haven't even gotten over the story of the Necropolis world yet, and now there's this Blackrock Fortress popping up.

"Hmph, a monkey is a monkey. You should get this straight first. Blackrock Fortress was mostly created by us, the Eldar. What do you mean by 'suddenly appearing'?"

Shameless! As expected of a race that can become the overlord of the galaxy, shamelessness is the most basic racial trait.

Although Kaz was a Cloud Hammer, he at least knew that Blackrock Fortress was a creation of the Necromancers.

but......

seem......

No, the unique substance Blackrock was created by space necromancy, and Blackrock Fortress might not actually be it.

After the Necromancers of the cosmos went into a deep sleep, the Eldar race dominated the galaxy for tens of millions of years. It was impossible for Blackrock Fortress to remain hidden from the Eldar street thugs of the Empire era for tens of millions of years.

this......

"Looking at me like that won't do any good. Blackrock Fortress can act as a warp stabilizer, you humans have already figured that out, haven't you? If you want to know more details, you'll have to go to the Black Library and check the Imperial archives from back then. Anyway, I don't know the specific working principle of this thing; it doesn't follow the traditional route of our Eldar's spirit bone technology."

Ha, woman, all that explanation? You Aidalings are just leeching off the undead, and you've put several more locks on the outside of the safe.

With all that fuss, I, Kaz, almost thought Blackrock Fortress was built by you Eldarin.

With our destination in sight, the day of parting is fast approaching.

In high spirits yet tinged with sadness, Ysera unconsciously revealed some ancient knowledge of the Adalin race to Kaz, the gorilla who seemed fairly agreeable.

Of course, Atansar's warlord still harbored ulterior motives.

Her main concern was that Katz might not take the usual route and simply back down and run away.

Ysera and her guards numbered only about thirty people. Although they were all elites trained in the Ark of Atansar, even the most elite would struggle to break into the Necropolis of the Space Necropolis in search of the Web Gate without heavy equipment.

This isn't adventure, this is suicide.

Human mining activities have angered the undead in space. Although the tomb world has not yet fully recovered, a security general has already come out to deal with the matter.

However, space necromancers, especially those whose minds are foggy from sleep, cannot possibly connect with the brainwaves of the human empire's insects.

It's just that hundreds of thousands of miners disappear out of thin air every now and then. It's no big deal. They just keep playing music and dancing.

Your empire is far ahead in the realm of inhumanity; even the space necromancers are left far behind.

Anyway, after making initial contact with the local human forces and seeing the annotation for [Oripathy] on the relevant files, Kars barely managed to hold on with all his might.

It wasn't easy. With over two hundred years of cultivating his inner strength, everyone was convinced that the Grand Secretary could become the Chief Grand Secretary.

Sigh, you can eat whatever you want, but don't say whatever you want. Getting into the cabinet is a victory. What kind of prime minister are you? Where are you going to put Lord Guilliman? Don't you even know the rules?

Lord Guilliman is my godfather, Kaz, you're not allowed to criticize him.

Hmm...

Samar is such a hypocrite.

What a load of rubbish! One fan is worth ten haters. You should all learn from my 99,000 Luo fans.

Finally, there was no need to punish the disobedient. Katz was very satisfied with the result, and the local ruler and Zhao Akada's sycophant knelt down quite readily.

Very good. As veterans of the guild, you should teach those impatient newbies what it means that the platoon leader's orders are absolute.

What, are you going to teach me, Kars, how to do things?

Those idiots who wanted to elect the gang leader have been turned into silver-plated skulls. Qiong En, show them.

Every new Astartes to join the Blood Raven family goes through a formality at the Stone Village's Hall of Fame.

At first glance, the densely packed silver-plated skulls and the somewhat empty seat designated by the gang leader, which even the fearless mechs seemed a bit empty, appeared ordinary and rather dull.

However, once you learn that each silver-plated skull is the head of Astartes, and that it was all personally cut off by the legendary Lord Samar, you will understand.

hiss......

The art style seems to have changed again.

In the Astartes, who hasn't accumulated a kill count starting at four figures and with no upper limit even in their eighties?

But Astartes are not some common, mass-produced product.

Even the leaders of those Chaos War Gangs who are very famous in the Eye of Fear, their recorded number of deaths in civil wars may not be as many as that of [Destroyer Blade].

Of course, to be realistic and objective, there are many people who have killed more Astartes than Karz. After all, the number of Astartes during the Legion era, such as the Great Rebellion, is not comparable to that of Astartes during the Warband era.

However, the fact that the battle record is verifiable is somewhat unfair.

Fortunately, the expedition will continue, and the fact that there is no fighting to be had for the time being is still acceptable to the members of the war gang.

After all, the gang leader was a capable manager and never shortchanged his brothers on food, clothing, and other necessities.

Once the loyalists have been pretending for a long time, they naturally get used to it. As long as the planetary governor meets the needs of the expeditionary force, they won't kill them.

Originally, Kaz didn't plan to stay in this star system for long. Ysera was considered one of the better people among the Eldar.

Despite his bad temper and lack of manners, he is ultimately a bean sprout who can have normal conversations.

Based solely on the fact that she could speak human language, Kaz decided to ask Choon to make a parting gift for Ysera.

It was a single-shot explosive pistol that even Astartes' wrist strength could barely withstand. The design wasn't the point; the point was that Katz had also engraved a message on the heavy barrel: "Homage to the peerless bean sprout Ysera, you are worthy to be our friend."

Hehe, Commander Ka has a broad mind. Go out and ask around; who among the gangs inside and outside the warp doesn't know him?

However, while being open-minded is one thing, being honest and trustworthy is another. Since he had promised Isera, he had to handle the Didi boat-hailing business properly.

This is called reputation, which directly affects public opinion.

It has absolutely nothing to do with the oil guy's red eyes.

Absolutely, absolutely, it has nothing to do with each other.

After all, a typical archaeological team has three to five boats, at most ten or so.

There was nothing they could do about being chased around by the awakened space undead security team.

If you can't beat them, you can't beat them. Losing to a space necromancer isn't shameful, and it doesn't warrant being expelled from the human race.

It's abnormal for a scientific and archaeological expedition team like Katz's to have assembled an entire expeditionary force of livestock.

Although we don't know who the undead dynasty in the tomb is or how much military force it has awakened, it's certain that their tomb fleet is still lying in the dimensional dock.

Don't over-mythologize the technology behind pork ribs.

It's easier to understand if you think of the Necromancers as the demon army of the Star Gods. Although the Empire's individual combat strength and technological level are far inferior to the Metal Ribs, it's still a long way off.

However, and this is important, the Necromancers in space are only technologically behind the Empire; they are far from reaching the level where the Zentradi were fighting against Stone Age humans.

Although the Empire has few ways to deal with the space undead, it has a large army.

With that heavy punch from Kaz, the dazed space necromancer might not be able to withstand it.

After all, which tech enthusiast goes out to dig graves carrying a million-strong astral army with them?

When I only had five hundred axemen and clerics by my side, I didn't mind if you called me "Old Man". But now that Brother Samar is here, you still call me "Old Man"? What, does calling me "Mechanical Priest" dirty your mouth?

Moreover, the two surrounding imperial worlds could theoretically provide a population of several billion.

Boss!
