Warhammer: I am the Hammer of the Empire.

Chapter 286 Baron Leonard
Baron Leonard, the lord of this place, when his baron's mansion appeared as the only relatively large building in the entire fortress, his status can be imagined.

When passing through the mountainous palaces, some of the gorgeous or grand decorations are rare animals that are strictly carved in unusual shapes, there are a few special animals in the empire, there are beautiful marbles that can only be mined in other worlds, or other good things.

But when people walked through the bustling palace, which looked like the ancient Terra Versailles Palace, and walked to the center, its owner was just a middle-aged man with a goatee beard, brown hair, and a thin figure. Gorgeous, but if you really want to take off those things, if you put him in the crowd, no one will recognize him at a glance.

And his mansion forcibly tore apart a quiet road in the busy urban area, and there are many complex and heavy institutions in it. Different from ordinary houses, those houses seem new and bigger.

But its actual use is not to deal with the many demands of the fortress of the territory, but to use it only to collect money from the baron. To be precise, they also collect it. Flies eat soup, charge more and take more, commonplace.

But the bustling business here really supports the weak and sad balance here. Secondly, the Baron, who has a large number of elite soldiers and spends a lot of money to cultivate defense forces, does not allow anyone to ride on his head.

But a strong dragon can't overwhelm a snake. For the huge troops that suddenly appeared on his territory, as well as the uninvited guests with a full set of elite equipment, artillery armor and other weapons, this smart baron naturally chose to be soft.

He thought that the entire fortress was under his control, but he probably knew how the enemy got in, but the commercial transportation ability was his lifeblood, and it was definitely impossible to change it.

In his garden, the baron, stroking the grass and trees, just listened to the attendant's report indifferently, but for him, those words were of little use.

"Go down." He did not blame the servants. Unlike most people's imagination of the cruelty of nobles, nobles actually regarded their subjects and servants as property, and therefore would not "destroy property" unless it was a serious mistake. A disagreement can lead to bloodshed.

But this does not mean that he is a good person, he has executed countless innocent people, and his current position also represents a cruel family infighting, but now it is a done deal, but he still has the ability to let this port belong to him...

He really had no way to resist the roaring engines and crackling military boots. When the Imperial Guard approached his fortress area, the guards guarding the intersection, his private soldiers, wearing relatively standard equipment, were reluctantly trying. Impeding the progress of the regular army, it was just that those forceful words were obviously ridiculous in front of a Lemanus that was smoking exhaust.

Alan Baier was sitting in the Salamander command tank. The relatively wide avenue was blocked by barbed wire and sandbags. It seemed that it was a temporary structure that controlled the residential area and the real management area, preventing those citizens from escaping in the chaos. In front of the Baron, at the same time form this "pass" control.

But there were only a few hundred young soldiers on the opposite side. Although they were strong and healthy, they had little experience, and their posture when holding firearms was not standard. Alan Bayer dared to say that he couldn't hit them even if he stretched out his head, and the inferior bulletproof armor And automatic weapons can't even leave any trace on the tank.

On the side of the Imperial Guard, that is, the total number of thousands of people in the Fourth Skadi Infantry Regiment are not only veterans who have served for nearly 10 years, but their average age is close to 30, and they have made remarkable achievements. In contrast, those PDFs have never left in this life For the [-]th Skadi Infantry Regiment it was not even a reserve.

Even so, those people did not flee despite the Baron's dedicated cultivation and brainwashing. This is already a good quality, but such blind obedience is not good. If Alan Bayer saw their fleeing first, and then received a A sneak attack inside the city would give them a better rating.

The soldiers also obviously noticed Alan Baier's eyes almost looking at the property or merchandise, and while they were creepy and loyal, they shouted at him with all their courage. "Please disarm if there is a notification. If you want to see the baron, you need to respect our rules!"

Alan Bair answered immediately. "Rules are the order created by the strong restraining the weak, and obviously our firepower and numbers are much better than yours, so you should abide by our rules, right?"

"I, Ed von Ka, the war lord of Port Engili has not been treated like this in any fortress. Why, if I take my personal soldiers to meet the local baron, can you kill the baron?" After many speeches and experiences, Alan Bayer has managed to talk nonsense without blushing and heartbeat, and self-servingly used the name of the war lord who had just been defeated by the Destroying Eagle.

But even so, the guards still stood still when they heard the name of the Feng family. Alan Baier was a little helpless. He turned on the radio and prepared to heat up Lemanus' smoothbore gun. Here, the defense was composed of sandbags and barbed wire. It is absolutely impossible to hold back twice, but it is a pity that the guards here are loyal and can only serve a noble who is doomed to fail.

"Get ready to fire, reload, and let Skadi's wrath flatten this place, leaving the fools alone."

The engine of war roared, and Lemanus raised the giant cannon sideways from behind the Salamander tank. The pitch-black muzzle immediately created a tense atmosphere, and the guards also wanted to shoot, but this was not a war with any possibility, but Doomed to a one-sided massacre.

The guns were facing each other, warming up, the huge muzzle of Lemanus and the small automatic gun were almost incomparable, but those guards were still ready to give their lives for that stupid loyalty.

A trace of pity flashed in Alan Baier's eyes, but it was only a flash. That kind of emotion was of no practical use in war. The shells fired and the thunder was approaching.

"Stop!" Alan Bayer yelled, the gunner retreated, but the guard's laser gun hit the Salamander's car body, drawing a pothole, and it was not the so-called kindness that made him stop, but the thick clothes. An official with a thick wide-brimmed hat, a windbreaker, and a kraft paper is coming in a car. If he just fired a cannon, this unlucky guy will definitely be affected.

This stupid guy is also considered competent. He saw the guards shooting and offending the big man in front of him, but he still mustered up the courage to get out of the bulletproof car. If it weren't for how his legs trembled in funny big pants, Alan Baier might really think he was a brave man. people.

His voice came slowly, faintly timid, but still bright. "The baron ordered that guests who come here may bring armed troops to enter."

This sentence basically represents the baron's surrender, but such cases are rare. Alan Baier thought he would abandon his fortress and escape, or Yelang arrogantly thought that those loyal guards could resist the attack of the Imperial Guard, but his Did not choose, but interviewed them...

Alan Baier touched his chin and asked his chief of staff. "Interesting, what do you think?"

The Chief of Staff replied. "There is still a hole card, and it is a hole card that makes him not hesitate."

"Maybe it was an ambush?"

Alan Baier shook his head. "No, the strength is doomed. The Imperial Guard is far ahead in terms of number and level. It is not an idiot who can achieve the position of baron. As the goal of turning this place into a war supply, I will not allow a high degree of autonomy here. After all What if he suddenly cut off the confession in the middle of the beating?"

"In short, I will not let him continue to maintain the so-called rule. The entire fortress must be turned into a part of war mobilization, not his personal plaything."

Heavy vehicles stepped across the roads in the city, rumbling, almost cracking those roads, and the imperial guards came to destroy them. When those beautiful houses were threatened by real violence, the so-called great baron was actually just a illusory thing.

When the gorgeous "Versailles Palace" appeared in front of Alan Bayer, it was almost one of the most gorgeous buildings he had ever seen. Although it was not as good as the real planetary governor's residence, it was better than the exquisiteness and beauty. He stepped forward and walked Among them, under the protection of many Skadi Catachans, the names of those bronzed men with thick and strong arms are almost unknown.

The servants who were cleaning or the guards stationed couldn't help looking at those Catachans who were almost sung in the empire along with miracles such as Krieger, Cadia, and Valhalla, although they didn't know what was going on in their hearts. , but that expression almost expressed their fear, admiration, and a little bit of expectation.

The complexity lies in the fact that they probably know that they have betrayed the empire, and they see the sign of Port of Roaming on them, and they look forward to the expansion of the rights of the people they are currently serving, but it is clear that the comer is not good, that kind of hesitation and almost innate strange contradiction The sense made them realize that this troop was weird.

It is naturally strange for the people of the Imperial Guard to smear heresy badges and do things with them. When Alan Baier walked into the center of the palace with those eyes on him, there was a very ordinary person among those decorations. It was hard to imagine that such a guy actually It is the master here, as if deliberately covering up his ordinaryness.

He waited for the lord at the long pale wooden table, while Alan Baier sat down and asked in a teasing tone. "Why, no good food or hospitality?"

The baron simply replied. "After all, Lord "Ed von Ka" came suddenly, and I didn't have time to prepare, so that's all I could do."

"Secondly, I don't think you need to give much hospitality to people who don't know your true name. I have met Mr. Ed, and he is very different from you. Although you look like a person in a high position, you don't have the aristocratic temperament, and the aristocrat has no temperament." The temperament is..."

He thought about it. "It's like the taste of wine that has been marinated into the core and is still there and will never fade away. It is the aggregation of arrogance and fury, and you appear calm."

"You are simply the opposite of the nobility. Compared to those stormy whirlpools of desire, you look like a calm ocean, but I believe that behind your calm are emotions, desires, and thoughts that are crazier than anyone else."

He stretched out his hand to signal Alan Bayer to let him guess his identity, and then muttered. "You are a soldier, without a doubt."

"You are in a high position, there is no doubt about it, but you are not a member of Engili's Roaming Port, and although the empire has not declared war, we all know the desire of the Lord of Skadi."

"You are, you are... the king of Skadi?"

He burst out laughing. "The badges painted on your soldiers are not up to standard, but they are already very good. Do you want to kill me and then violently take over this fortress for your crazy war?"

Alan Baier nodded. "You can see clearly...then you should be ready to die, and people like you probably won't go to the emperor, there is no place for you on the throne." He waved his hand, and the Catachans picked up their special Carbine, powerful enough to tear ceramic steel and destroy everything.

But the baron was only facing the black muzzle of the gun. He recalled that his brothers had treated him like this, and he was also talking to his brothers in this position. For him, it seemed like yesterday reappeared. One day I will pay the price for what I did to my loved ones...

He didn't give up, because he won't die now, he believed so firmly, and spoke. "You can't kill me. The core operation of the entire port depends on my seal. Countless fortresses, the outside world, here, spread from here to the most remote world in the nearest star system. Without my seal, those trades will completely stop."

"And you understand that the imprint of my family was cast at the beginning of the Great Crusade. The micro-formed thinker array recorded my blood dna, but without my vital signs, it could not record new things, nor could it seal the weak electromagnetic paperwork."

"As long as the business here stops, the whole Port of Roaming will know that you are here, and you are here! So you can't kill me, and you can't stop the business here, unless you want the entire Port of Roaming to find out that you are here!"

"Business has made my kingdom full of holes, allowing you to enter at will, and it is also my life-saving gold medal. You need the majesty of my family, and I can serve you!"

"I know your miracles. Now Skadi's countless wealth comes from your wisdom, and my joining can make everything better. Believe in my brain, family honor, and give you more benefits!"

He's a little crazy, after all, people who are only interested in profit see the hope of the future, so how much of it is acting?Alan Baier didn't believe him, he could betray Enjili today, and Skadi tomorrow, he wanted to be his emperor, but Alan Baier didn't need an emperor...

The Lord of Skadi just scratched his head at the moment. "Finished?"

"First, I am not afraid of any enemies. Second, your family is insignificant. Third, I have plenty of ways to deal with you and your "kingdom."

"shot."

The baron seemed to feel that he heard it wrong, he was stunned, and then the flashing light in the hands of the Catachans became his last memory and the clearest memory, and his mistake was that he could not betray, this universe, this empire, I hate betrayal the most.
