The Astartes Family's Notebook

Company Commander!

General!

Godfather!!!

Let's do it.

"No rush. To do a good job, one must first have the right tools."

While sending Chaos Astartes on reconnaissance missions, Kaz also sent all the techies to the Imperial planets to upgrade their industries.

It's not that Kaz is stable, it's that Kaz is afraid.

Although as a cloud hammer, Kars is the one who dispels the illusions of space necromancy, having never dealt with them is simply not having dealt with them.

As an Astartes, Katz can play hide-and-seek with the Death Mark assassins of the space necromancers, but the burden of being a Grand Secretary of the current cabinet, managing two stars and thirteen provinces of the galaxy, ensuring the survival of billions of lives, and the rise and fall of the empire all rests on Katz's shoulders.

Warfare is the way of rise and fall, the place of life and death; it is something that must be carefully considered.

Most importantly, if you manage to get your hands on some high-quality stuff, going through Mentuza Batistuta's connections is also an option.

Although the oil enthusiasts may lack humanity, they still possess the most basic credibility of a revered sage like the "Eternal Burning Furnace."

If the empire doesn't grant me amnesty soon, I might just have to go and pay homage to Omnesia!

As a representative of the duality of left and right brain, Katz never fights a battle unprepared and always has a Plan C backup in his mind.

So before becoming a full-time gravedigger, Kaz was seriously preparing for a full-scale war involving grave robbing and tomb raiding.

Moreover, not only should the Necropolis in the Mining World be included in the scientific expedition schedule, but the Black Rock Fortress that Ysera mentioned should also be put on the exploration agenda.

"Your human empire's technology may be declining, but the fact that your exploration equipment cannot detect the existence of Blackrock Fortress is not a problem with the oracle."

It was unusual for Ysera not to take the opportunity to be sarcastic, but instead to offer a rather fair explanation.

"The Blackrock Fortress is made of a very special material. Not only does it suppress psionic energy, but its physical properties are also quite strange. Conventional gravitational detection and spectral analysis are not very effective. With such a large fortress, relying solely on conventional detection methods, mechanical equipment can easily misidentify it as an asteroid or quasar."

Damn it, after all this, you're still going around in circles praising your Adaline race for being far ahead, aren't you?

"Don't be so sensitive, this is the truth."

That's why I reacted so strongly—because I knew it was true!

Kaz didn't even bother asking Ysera how she knew about the Blackrock Fortress in the Void Zone on the outskirts of the galaxy; asking would only be a humiliation.

But since your attitude is so bad, you'll have to come with me.

"Whatever, whatever makes you happy."

Fine, if anything goes wrong, I'll be the first to shoot you.

"Keep those mechanical hands to yourself. Don't let them see a big red button and start hitting it like a manic-depressive. How could there be any problems?"

Damn it, who betrayed the Empire's secrets? How could that Eldar woman know so much about the Mechanicus's methods?

Anyway, it's not far, only 0.3 light-years away. Kaz thought for a moment and decided to just sail there instead of doing some fancy trick of skipping stones in the subspace.

So before setting off, Grand Secretary Ka took the time to assign various short-term targets and operational standards to the expeditionary force.

I also took the opportunity to check on the progress of the modifications to the Bloodaxe Orcs.

"Are you ready?"

"Always be prepared!"

"Are you ready?"

"Always be prepared!!!"

As a large group of "ghost fire youths" among the green-skinned orcs, the Bloodaxe Clan is a rare green-skinned orc clan that values ​​discipline.

So Kaz lured the orcs aboard the ship under the name Waaaagh, and then called on the top fifty Astartes on the Stone Village to cause trouble, directly beating the orc leaders of the Bloodaxe Clan into submission.

Even the farts of the strong smell sweet, and everything the plucker says is right.

You are so weak because you lack discipline. Military discipline is combat effectiveness. We, the Astartes, are so good at fighting because we have strict military discipline.

Remember, we, Blood Duck, are the elder brothers of your Blood Axe, and we are here to help you learn the advanced tactics and experience of the War Clan!

Whatever Big Brother Astartes says goes. If anyone lets us hear the word "canned shrimp" again, they'll get some mushroom sauce!

Did you hear it?

Can't you hear me? You're so quiet, yet you want to be a Vastatt? Can't you hear me? Speak louder!

Lord Chancellor didn't know how the Astartes, who were sent by Kaz to be instructors, managed to keep their composure, but the fact that the Bloodaxe Clan managed to do so was something the Astartes instructors hadn't expected.

Small, quick steps; capri pants; a blue combat uniform.

With resounding slogans and perfectly aligned ranks, the Extreme Kids are Blood Axe.

Where are the historians? They must record the truth! They must record the truth!

Chapter 460 Elder Ka mistakenly enters the Great Black Heaven

The greatest temptation of collectivism is that it makes you think that as long as you are the same as everyone else, you don't need to think.

However, the warmth of a group is like luxurious heating; it can never replace the clarity you feel when you open your eyes alone.

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

Why are Zhao Akada's enthusiasts and the local ruling class willing to swallow their pride and accept being ripped off by Kaz?

Because the expeditionary force was strong and well-equipped?

It's both right and wrong, because their own hands aren't clean either.

Using the name of the Wilderness World to fraudulently obtain the Empire's top-tier tax exemption policy—if this gets exposed and the Star Sector Government finds out, the size of the trouble isn't important; what about the tithe?

Compared to the potential for tithe collection, what the Astartes want doesn't seem like much.

Because it was a branch base, Zhao.Akada's crew did not have the usual emotional resistance or outward compliance when the crew of the Kaz expeditionary fleet came down to "guide" the planet's industrial upgrading.

Do as you please, as long as you don't infringe upon our core interests.

As expected of someone from the Forging World who is suspected of being heretical, he doesn't have any of the academic fastidiousness of the Martian faction, and seems very easy to get along with.

As for the three academic spies and the lower-ranking mechanical priests who subsequently boarded the train, they had already accepted the centralized leadership system of the expeditionary force during the long period of discipline in the Carlota Hall.

After all, while Kaz may be domineering, he's incredibly generous when it comes to giving rewards.

A year or two of rest and respite is quite normal in scientific research and exploration, and this large deep space expedition team had no objections.

Rest is a wonderful thing, and who would object to a long holiday?

So, during the six months that Katz came and went, the entire expeditionary force remained calm and undisturbed.

However, the tech enthusiast was slightly dissatisfied with the fact that Kars only brought one personal technical advisor to explore Blackrock Fortress.

But Ysera makes a good point. Just look and that's it. Once you're inside, don't do anything rash. If you bring so many geeks up and things go wrong, who's going to take responsibility?

This guy's hand-eye coordination is as bad as that of a newly adopted wild tabby cat. It's inappropriate, really inappropriate.

"Isn't Blackrock Fortress what you Eldarin call the Amulet of the Vaal? Our human empire took it, you really don't mind?"

"What's the use of caring? It's said that before the Eye of Fear appeared, Blackrock Fortress was the Empire's top secret."

Isera thought for a moment and decided to explain it in a simpler way.

"Although our Ark world has some ancient documents about Blackrock Fortress, unfortunately, Atansar doesn't know the purpose of these Blackrock Fortresses, nor does he have the relevant knowledge of their maintenance. You can't expect us, the Ark Eldar, to maintain and care for this thing."

At first, Kaz didn't understand what Ysera meant.

But after three months of sailing, as the Ishimura approached the Black Rock Fortress hovering in the void, Kars suddenly understood.

That's a huge lump!

Compared to Blackrock Fortress, the Ramirez-class Star Fortress is a complete idiot.

Katz had never seen what the Mountain Array looked like, so he could only compare it to the Ramirez-class Star Fortress he had seen, and concluded that the Ramirez-class Star Fortress was not even worthy of being a satellite of Blackrock Fortress.

It's highly likely that the Mountain Array of Imperial Fist is only fit to be a satellite for Blackrock Fortress.

Are you out of your mind, calling this thing a fortress?!

No wonder Ysera said the Eldar in the Ark were powerless against Blackrock Fortress.

Apart from super-large arks like Yi Yangdeng, most Eldar ark worlds are merely satellites compared to Blackrock Fortress.

Let alone repairs, even routine maintenance is beyond the capabilities of the Eldar Ark's small population.

Since we are powerless to reclaim it, we can only watch as the human empire makes a scene.

Kaz only needed one glance to understand that although this treasure was good, it was not meant for him.

Without filling Blackrock Fortress with hundreds of millions of maintenance workers, everything else is just nonsense.

After calming down, Katz simply led the team up for a visit.

Although Ysera had never been to Blackrock Keep, it was clear that this War Priest of Atansar understood the architectural logic and cultural symbols of the Adairn.

So, following the secret guidance left by the Eldar, Ysera led Karz and the others all the way to the core area of ​​Blackrock Fortress.

"Can't you activate the Blackrock Fortress's control system?"

Kaz's matter-of-fact tone made Ysera laugh in exasperation.

“If I am the Phoenix King’s illegitimate daughter, then I can.”

Are you?

"I want to be."

Oh, you're a pitiful little girl who couldn't even get a sugar daddy.

"Isn't it taboo for you to make such a fuss about Asu?"

"Didn't you seem to have a lot of fun when you were ripping up Killieman?"

How can they be the same?

The two silently cursed each other as "human gorilla/Ida the monkey," and tacitly skipped the topic.

What are you waiting for? Search my bag.

"Poor En, keep an eye on the motor enthusiast, you know what I mean?"

"Understand."

"By the way, Ysera, I feel like something's off about the space inside Blackrock Keep?"

"Very perceptive."

Thankfully, Kaz is a Cloud Hammer and admits to being one, otherwise he would be in a terrible situation.

According to Eldar records, the god of craftsmen, Vaal, created dozens of Blackrock Fortresses.

However, the size of these Blackrock fortresses varies, and there is no fixed standard.

But even the smallest ones are like asteroid belts, capable of generating their own gravitational fields, and their size is far beyond what the Glory Queen-class can match.

The interior of the fortress alone, even the slightly larger rooms, easily exceed 100 kilometers in width.

Yes, that's right, it's kilometers, not meters.

It has a strong necromantic, space-age architectural style.

Because of its enormous size, Astartes, whose spatial awareness was not strong enough, could not even detect the anomaly.

"The interior of Blackrock Fortress utilizes space expansion technology, making its internal space significantly larger than its apparent volume from the outside."

Therefore, when forming a war gang in the Purgatory Galaxy, it's best to make fewer enemies and more friends. Having a compatible Adalin warrior as a guide is definitely more convenient.

"Is there really no way to take it with you?"

Kaz liked the Blackrock Fortress more and more. If it could be dragged back to the Haven system, Lord Saladin should definitely promote me to second company commander.

"Of course there is a way. If you convert to His Majesty Asuyan now, the Phoenix King might just appear."

"Isera, don't joke about matters of faith."

"Feel sorry."

Although it was completely insincere, Ysera still apologized, which was a bit much.

With the Empire's technological level, it shouldn't have been difficult to discover the existence of such a massive Blackrock Fortress suspended in the void.
