The Astartes Family's Notebook

Therefore, Mad Sich was certain that the reason why Underworld VI dared to defy Mars was because Holy Terra mediated between them. Under the strong pressure from the High Lords, Mars and Underworld 8 reached an exchange of interests and temporarily reconciled.

After repeatedly reviewing his reasoning, Motor Sich carefully considered whether there were any gaps or misinterpretations in the information chain he possessed, but ultimately stuck to his own judgment.

Ms. Vinava is here to get something for nothing.

They say Huangquan No. 6 came to snatch food from the tiger's mouth, but do the sages of Huangquan No. 6 dare to do that? This is the Taiping Starfield, the reservoir of the Sun Starfield, not some remote and desolate place like the other three starfields.

Vinava claimed to represent the entire Forging World of Underworld VI, which Motor Sich believed. However, the Fourth Company Commander absolutely refused to believe that Underworld VI was preparing for an armed conflict with Mars over a mining world.

Therefore, the importance of the governor of Skold increased, while the importance of that little girl decreased.

It doesn't matter who is the governor of Skord; what matters is whose orders the governor of Skord obeys.

Although Vinava is very magnanimous in her dealings with others, as a ruthless person who rose to the rank of Imperial Judge through the route of imperial amnesty, her political abilities as a female judge have already been proven.

As long as the other bloodlines of the governor's family fall into Vinava's hands, the title of "acting governor" may never be removed from her person.

The Wings of Desolation cannot stay in Skord for long; they have no time to play political games with the sector government.

With the supplies from Hive City One and Hive City Two, the Wastewing and Raptor Legion can be well fed and watered.

But the problem is, is it just a little bit of money?

It's a conflict between Huangquan VI and the Martian Mechanicus!

If things go well, it's not impossible to get another cruiser for the warband.

If he hadn't thought of that, would Motor Sich have bothered to give Kaz such a stern lecture?

It's true that the Fourth Company had incredible luck, but these bastards lacked political acumen; no one could see the hidden dangers and opportunities behind it all.

Even if the supplies in the two hive cities are valuable, can they be exchanged for a cruiser? Probably not.

Therefore, whether it's Underworld VI or Mars, if they want to continue obtaining Skord's mineral production without breaking ties, they cannot bypass the planetary governor.

In other words, as long as the only thing the acting governor girl possesses is locked up, the female judge Vinava will not be able to gain any benefits beyond Astartes.

The Yellow Springs VI clearly sent a scientific research vessel, so why didn't the sage leading the expedition meet with the Astartes?

Haha, women, even a magnanimous woman like Vinova, are ultimately a bit petty.

He explained the ins and outs of the situation to Kaz, who then provided his company commander, Motor Sich, with ample emotional support in return.

"Company Commander, you don't need to say anything. I understand. Leaving no one alive is considered dereliction of duty on my part. I, Kaz, guarantee that not a single blade of grass will be left alive!"

"Okay, very spirited!"

Spring has arrived for the Second, Sixth, and Seventh Companies.

Although the Fourth Company is more talented at looting, the top nest of the First Nest City is only a small part of the loot. What Motor Sich is afraid of is that the bastards of the Fourth Company will get carried away with looting and raiding the top nest and delay the important business.

So apart from Katz, Motor Sich doesn't plan to use any of the four Astartes.

Will this cause dissatisfaction?

They underestimated Motor Sich's eloquence. At the company meeting, the fourth company commander emphasized the necessity and urgency of the operation and directly sent Ingus and Tyrant out as well.

"Concentrating an entire company's manpower on the top nest clearing operation means that in the main battlefield of the lower nest, we no longer have an overwhelming numerical advantage over the chaotic traitors of the Death Shadow War Gang. Can you withstand a possible large-scale counterattack?"

"can!"

Are you confident?

"Have!"

With the right emotional support, the Fourth Company was pacified, and everyone happily went to prepare for battle.

Then Motor Sich took Katz away from the Victory Balance and went to the Pioneer Star.

Continuing with the emotional value, the Second Company was suppressed by the old company commander, and had no objections, nor dared to have any.

"Sixth Company Commander, the stability of the Second Nest City is entrusted to you. Don't let the Chaos traitors take advantage of any loopholes."

"it is good."

Responsibility is honor. The sixth company commander had no obsession with such a large-scale battle and readily accepted the job of guarding the house.

"Seventh Company Commander, continue to supervise the transshipment of the Charter Merchant Fleet. Do not allow any armed merchant ships to leave before the cargo is unloaded. I will not move the ten-man Terminator Squad. When you board a ship to investigate, bring a teleportation beacon. If anything seems amiss, call for reinforcements. I always feel that the Chaos traitors will take advantage of the current complex fleet ownership issue to find loopholes. You need to be careful."

"I will."

The acting female governor was just a rubber stamp. Most of the goods ordered by her grandfather were luxury items. Fearing that she might not be able to resist them, Motor Sich took the initiative to send the Seventh Company Commander to keep an eye on things for her. So the Seventh Company Commander didn't feel that he was being neglected.

Having resolved the internal issues of the battle group, the Raptor 5th Company no longer needed Motor Sich to worry about it.

The command of this war was given to Motor Sich, and Yesfe had no objection, so the hawks had even less objection.

Jesfer wasn't interested in going to the top hive to slaughter the Chaos traitors, so he took Gune and half a company of his combat brothers to continue lying in wait at the bottom hive to prepare to ambush the Chaos Astartes of the Shadow of Death Warband, while the remaining half company went to the top hive with Kaz.

Katz's old acquaintance, Seifert, was also among them.

Many of the combat comrades scheduled to participate in the top-nest operation were on other missions at the time, and it would take some time for personnel to be reassigned and assembled. Therefore, the Pioneer Star only gathered together the sergeants of the companies that needed to lead the teams.

"This mission will be led by Sergeant Kaz. What are your opinions?"

Motor Sich looked around. Although some of his fellow fighters frowned, no one voiced any objection.

Very good. Katz's combat achievements can still stand up to scrutiny. Moreover, this bastard especially likes to make friends through martial arts. There are many people in various companies who don't like him, but no one questions his ability.

Although the Astartes were to lead more than a hundred men in combat missions, and these men were from five different companies, in principle, each company commander should lead the team.

However, Motor Sich himself had ulterior motives. As the commander of the fourth company, he had to prioritize the interests of the fourth company without touching the core interests of the battle group. Therefore, it was really not appropriate to talk to other company commanders about things like cruisers, which were still far from being realized.

Pushing Kaz out was a last resort. If I were still the second company commander, I wouldn't have to go through all this trouble to think about personnel issues.

After a moment of silence, and making sure no fellow fighters raised any objections, Motor Sich continued speaking.

"Sergeant Kaz, please provide a detailed tactical explanation."

Katz wasn't intimidated at all, and immediately launched into a string of famous quotes.

"I, Kaz, will not keep this glory to myself. So please take note, my fellow warriors: the goal of this top-level clearing operation is singular: a massive purge!"

It took immense willpower for Motor Sich to keep his face straight.

You son of a bitch, this isn't a company meeting for the fourth company, what the hell are you doing!

Kaz was so excited that he didn't notice his company commander's expression had changed, and continued talking.

"Brothers of the Raptor Legion, rest assured, there will be a unified collection and inspection of supplies afterward, and the spoils will be distributed according to need. There will be no situation where you take more than you need. So what we need to be careful about is that the Inquisitor faction gets there first."

Three years have passed, and the eagles of the Fifth Company have become desensitized. They are no longer able to comment on the behavior of the Fourth Company of the Wings of Desolation. Besides, they are brothers-in-arms with them, so at least they have a share. What's there to say? Just keep quiet and do your job.

If it weren't for Astartes from the Brotherhood of Steel being there, the veterans from the Sixth and Seventh Companies would have definitely said something to Kars, telling him to be mindful of his image and not to say such things to his face. Did the Wings of Desolation even care about their reputation?

On the contrary, Astartes of the Second Company remained calm. Everyone in the five main combat companies knew what kind of bastards the Fourth Company was. The Kaz brothers had already restrained themselves. Calm down, calm down.

After the overall plan was explained, the company's sergeants dispersed to discuss the composition of tactical squads and conduct detailed discussions on the democratization of military affairs. Meanwhile, Mada Sich called Kaz and the sergeants of the Second Company to his side and began to give them careful instructions.

The most troublesome part of the whole thing was the clearing operation, which required Judge Vinava to land on the top of the nest in a Thunderhawk gunboat to deceive the anti-aircraft fire on the top of the nest and provide a valuable window of opportunity for the first batch of raiders hiding inside to take control of the boarding tarmac.

The hardest part is this first step.

Vinava had the courage to take risks; she was genuinely prepared to talk to the rebellious nobles first, and to control a few useless bastards with governor blood before the Astartes completed their large-scale invasion.

However, the real risk does not lie with Vinava. The Imperial Inquisitors can enjoy the best enhancement surgeries, Vinava herself is already quite powerful, and she also has a group of strong attendants, so her personal safety is guaranteed.

The real danger lies in the Astartes atop the nest, where the female judge descends.

The other side is just muddle-headed, not stupid. With Astartes in the cabin, negotiations will likely break down instantly, and the two sides will turn on each other and fight on the spot.

Therefore, Katz's solution was an optical camouflage cloak.

Taking advantage of the height difference in the cockpit of the Thunderhawk gunboat, the noble guards on the top of the nest could only observe the situation inside the cockpit of the Thunderhawk gunboat for a few seconds.

Despite the cramped conditions, it was still possible to hide two Astartes with optical camouflage on either side of the driver and passenger seats.

Moreover, even if the plan fails, Katz can directly shatter the bulletproof glass from the inside and activate the assault operation mode.

Anyway, it only ruined Vinava's good things, and it won't affect the subsequent battle.

The Siforth brothers, you agree, right?

Sifus didn't know what to say. "Thank you, Katz brothers."

Chapter 132 Vertical Cutting of Earthworms

Can you grasp the key points? I said I kill without blinking, but you ask me if my eyes are dry.

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

The technological level of the human empire...

This old rant is always fresh and new.

Although the overall art style is dark and gothic, using unmutated skulls as a symbol of purity, building churches and imperial icons on ships, and treating machine servants as routine work, the Empire's technological level is truly astounding.

During the ancient Terran era, there were always military ignoramuses pointing at stealth fighters in videos and pictures and spouting nonsense like, "I don't think we can see them, so they're not stealthy."

However, in the current human empire, optical camouflage is already a common technology, and the Mechanicus also has high-end deflection stealth technology.

That's the advantage of having a rich historical background; you can always find answers in old documents that are hard for outsiders to find.

Unlike the Fourth Company, which only had two optical camouflage cloaks for the entire company, the Raptors' use of similar equipment dates back to the early days of the regiment's formation.

So, since he had nothing better to do, Katz asked Sifus about the historical origins of the high-end goods provided by the Five-Company.

While the motorist may lack in interpersonal skills, he is quite academically sound.

Although Kars spent so many years as a Cloud Hammer in his previous life and heard countless jokes about how Imperial technology relied on grave robbing, he has been in the Warhammer universe for more than half a century, from recruit training to joining a company and now serving as a sergeant.

Only by truly living in the purgatory galaxy can one truly feel that although the human empire is brain dead, technological development has not stopped.

Um, that doesn't seem right either. Should we say that the work of scientific archaeology is progressing smoothly?

This topic is too ethically sensitive; Katz, with his limited life experience, can't quite grasp the implications.

Let's get back to the optical camouflage cloak.

Before the M37 era, this thing was a high-end item, and most warbands couldn't afford it. Although the Mechanicus provided devices with optical deflection force field generators, what did the Astartes lack was optical stealth capability?

The built-in motor is extremely noisy and bulky, and it also has serious heat problems. It can be said that apart from providing a semi-circular light deflection stealth force field, the mechanical product is full of flaws.

Is there a hidden wall ahead?

In environments with high humidity or in sandy, windy weather, using this thing is less effective than wearing a ghillie suit.

That bizarre, hemispherical deflection field was utterly ridiculous, and the "lurking" part was probably just a ploy to lure him in.

However, at some point in the M37 era, the Mechanics, perhaps having suffered greatly because of this unfortunate device, finally came to their senses and made a significant breakthrough in materials application, resulting in the creation of an invisibility cloak made of high-strength fabric encasing nanomechanicals.

Great, this thing is great! It insulates against heat, absorbs electromagnetic waves, and has excellent optical camouflage effects, perfectly meeting all the needs of Astartes special operations.

As long as you stand still, in a low-contrast environment, invisibility is practically invincible.

The Ravenguards are absolutely adorable.

Most importantly, this thing does not belong to the category of relic technology; the Mechanicus possesses complete independent intellectual property rights.

So the Savior spent a lot of money to get a production line from the oil enthusiasts.

Theoretically, the Raptor Legion's optical camouflage cloaks could be equipped for every Astartes brother.

You can't be envious; having a powerful parent group behind you is something you really can't mess with.

However, the Mechanics Cult is also an expert in grave robbing and has a real need for optical camouflage technology.

Therefore, the work on technological research and development and material upgrades for self-use technologies has never stopped.

Now, in the M41 era, the new Ray Deflector Cloak, whose performance rivals that of Eldar cloaks, has begun to be supplied to the Astartes Chapter in small quantities.

The Desolate Wings had several pieces, but the old man, the warband leader, said that the Fourth Company was not a good match for such treasures and refused to give the Fourth Company two pieces. Kaz, however, benefited from the Fifth Company of the Raptor and used such good equipment for the first time.

Awesome, absolutely awesome.

Wrapped in a cloak and facing the wall, the enormous Astartes seemed to vanish; as long as he remained still, he could even clearly see the scenery behind him.

Empire, wait for your people. Your technology is so advanced, yet so unfamiliar that it frightens Kaz.

Is this still the human empire that everyone has in mind?

Yes, yes.

The Thunderhawk gunboat was already parked. They left through the forward hatch, accompanied by a large retinue of about twenty people, including many alien races.

However, with the special permission of the monarchy, the Inquisitors have this authority. No one investigates the use of demon hosts, so what's the big deal about recruiting a few aliens as temporary workers? Apart from the most fanatical human supremacists, even the loyalist Astartes wouldn't bother with the trivial matter of raising aliens in the Alien Court.
