Warhammer: I am the Hammer of the Empire.

Chapter 294 The Purple Hand
This proposal was irresistible. The information on the scroll could save Alan Bair a lot of time and manpower. However, this weird guy still made the lord full of worry and resistance. He asked this guy dressed like an actor.

"what do you want?"

Wild Snake replied. "comfortable!"

"Free?" Alan Bair murmured to himself.

The wild snake nodded. "Sir, I know your deeds. Nothing in this world will be without traces. And you and I are a kind of people who are capable and ambitious, but just want to lie in a mansion in the garden world and smoke. But people like us Contradictory, because of my own abilities, I can never live a stable life in this dark universe."

"I'm stuck in a quagmire with a huge intelligence organization and connections with the Inquisitor. The Inquisition will not let me go, so I need a backer to climb the dragon and chase the phoenix."

This idea coincides with many of Alan Bayer's actions. It's just that it will take a lot of time to see what kind of people can protect themselves in this huge empire, but he still has a question. "Why did you kill that female agent?"

Alan Bayer felt that this man was also credible, but he couldn't understand this. Why did he kill the woman? He smelled the rotten and moldy smell here, and the man's gradually hesitant eyes, wild snake He thought for a long time before speaking.

"Purple Hand." He spit out a rather unfamiliar word, Alan Baier asked subconsciously. "what is that?"

"An organization, a wizarding organization or a religious organization, what they believe in is quite interesting, and the reason I attacked her was because I wanted to prevent that organization from reaching you, and not knowing is the best protection, you It should be clear." Snake explained this, but it is still unclear how much is true or false, at least they all want Alan Bayer to express their loyalty, which confuses him.

It was difficult to distinguish between true and false, but he knew that he needed to cooperate with this man at this moment, and that inheriting the foundation of the Inquisition would make his war easier, but he still had a question to ask. "Tell me about the Purple Hand, my friend."

The wild snake looked around and said the word hesitantly. "The Lord of Change."

Alan Bair immediately made a stop gesture. If the next topic involves demons, it will be of no benefit to everyone. Even if he has been trying his best to cover up the matter in his own army, the existence of subspace demons is in Skadi. It is not a secret in the eyes of the senior officials of the Fourth Regiment.

"If this is true, then my journey of recruiting lords will probably not be stable. In view of this, I can choose whether to believe you or not. It is not impossible that the Tribunal and the devil are colluding..." Alan Bair It's hard to trust people now, if that's involved.

The wild snake nodded, made a funny joke, knocked on the air, and said. "Dong dong" "Who is it?"

He raised his voice. "I am a heretic and I want to make a deal with the great lord."

"Oh, yes, my friend, come, let us sing the praises of terrible evil."

Alan Beyer failed to capture that rare point of laughter... "You have no talent in this area."

The wild snake nodded. "After all, a good clown doesn't rely on jokes, he only needs tragedy, and I can feel that the joke is coming." He raised the drink in front of him and looked at the lord. Alan Bair's young face was in the turbid liquid. It twisted slowly, and finally he raised the cup.

"To the heroes who rule the Pangea sector, even if your journey must be full of death, sacrifice, thorns, misery and pain."

He knocked his glass against the air and drank it all in one gulp. "Ha! Sir, if you want my help, you can come at any time. Remember not to bring Miss Nova with you. I will be eaten alive by her."

Alan Bair rolled up the scroll, handed it to Master Chief Catachan and nodded. "Although I am not sure whether you are a good ally, I promise you that if victory really comes, then you will wait to die of old age in the beautiful tropical rain forest, eating fruits and enjoying the sunshine and air."

"This is a beauty that maggots like us in the haze never dare to touch or imagine in our lives. If you can really complete the deal between us, then all the efforts now will be considered in vain." The expression shown by the wild snake at this moment was far away Unlike lying, when he showed that he was really looking forward to that kind of day, Alan Bayer's thoughts softened a lot.

Finally, the powerful war lord walked out of this dangerous building that was so dilapidated that it was infested by moths. The Catachan sergeant also spoke with this, when they breathed the fresh air of the hive. "Sir, they are very suspicious. It's hard to trust this thing, and this espionage organization is obviously not someone you can trust."

Alan Baier replied. "He has the feeling of a Letling boy. They are similar. He also wants me to pull him out of this pipe, and he can provide many ways."

"And his words also explained one thing, that is why the Destruction Eagles were separated from us. There are obviously no obstacles in the stable waterway of subspace, but we have not seen those Astartes in a month here. , if a large, blood-vessel-like network extends in all directions and serves the subspace, then things can be explained."

"Then...Purple Hand, do you need me to investigate?" the Master Chief asked.

Alan Baier shook his head. "They are hiding in the lower levels of the nobles and civilians' nests. If we go to find them, we can only alert them. Don't be suspicious and consume yourself. This is why the wild snakes don't tell us the situation at first, because the best way to deal with them is never force, but something like the Inquisition. professional organization and resolute cruelty.”

"Therefore, today's matters are kept confidential. I don't want anything to affect the morale of the military."

Then there was silence. As they walked on the street, the only sound was the trampling of military boots. At this time, they still showed beyond normal people's ability to control their own hearts and minds, and in the meticulous evil conspiracy and chaotic and terrible deception. Inside, the Skadi remained determined.

Until he stepped into the star port, Alan Bayer walked to the Bordeleau that was being maintained in the void. He looked at the metal monster outside the window, which also meant that he was about to embark on an adventurous journey. He hoped to be able to He found allies and hoped to meet the missing Eagles of Destruction, but he knew that things probably wouldn't go well.

He muttered to himself in his own office. "They feel like they have everything under control, are arrogant, stupid, and..."

"Dong dong dong" The knock on the door suddenly appeared, interrupting Alan Bayer's review of today's complicated encounter. "who is it?"

"It's me, Nova." Her voice was clear, and Alan Bayer realized that the time for her to write her memoirs had come again, but to be precise, it was Nova's book study, and she would find herself reading it during this time. Whether there are any problems with the content, as a sign of respect and personal will, even if Alan Bayer is not very picky, he will not care too much about minor errors. After all, he himself cannot remember all the details.

But even so, she still comes every day. For her, observing this lord is part of her mission. "Come in!" Alan Bayer agreed, and Nova opened the door and walked in. She had the key, but she still knocked on the door, unlike Alan Bayer's rude soldiers, and this beauty was indeed eye-catching.

When she came closer and put the record book on the table, her blond hair fell sideways on Ella Beyer's cheek, saying that she was not distracted was probably a lie, but her next words interrupted Ella Beyer's thoughts. "Who did you go to meet?"

There is a weird feeling of catching rape, as if to say why you bypassed me to find information, but Alan Baier also answered easily. "No."

This matter involves Chaos and its minions, so he needs fewer people to make a clear agreement, even if there is no wild snake's urging, he will not speak.

But Miss Nova was not the kind of woman who was easily fooled. She didn't believe it, but suffered from the lack of evidence. After recording and confirming, she planned to leave, but Alan Bayer suddenly asked. "What do you think of Count Noend of Karraza Castle as our next prey?"

He needs to confirm the accuracy of the intelligence, so the Inquisitor must be the best. If Wild Snake is not a team with her, then if there is an error in the intelligence, Alan Bayer will give up on Wild Snake's unknown origin.

According to intelligence, the name of Karazha Fortress comes from the ancient Terra language, which roughly means fortress. The lord here is straightforward, heroic, has a considerable degree of armed ability, and worships soldiers.

They have a considerable degree of military training and a combat effectiveness that is much higher than other territorial lords. In addition, they are not far apart. Even if they are separated by two fortresses, this one is a powerful force that should be recruited first.

As Alan Bair recalled the contents of the scroll, Nova also realized that as an inquisitor, she did have a responsibility to help the Imperial Guard. "It's a war fortress in Karazha. The militarized management staff and the lord have a good personality. They are praised everywhere. There was a record of single-handedly defeating the orc space invasion with a battleship. Therefore, it is called Strong Shield Norn by other territories."

"With his help, we can directly capture a large area of ​​territory. The problem is..."

"Distance!" Alan Bair nodded. "Even an Imperial Guard warship would have a hard time advancing through two stations at full speed without void supplies. Lack of fuel would be a big problem, but if the engines are given a vacation, the time to get there will be very long. .”

"But I have a secret channel here, which is attracted and twisted by the gravity of the planet in the void. We can rely on the gravity there as a slingshot to launch Bordeleau, and finally complete the impossible action at the fastest speed."

Nova was stunned for a moment. "This is almost suicide. As long as the warship is unlucky, it will hit something and disintegrate. If the warship makes any operational errors, the consequences will be disastrous."

"So what, I believe there are sailors on Bordero. They have completed the great journey across the extreme star field, and you can choose to stay here." Alan Bayer emphasized.

Nova smiled bitterly. "I will go, my lord, you always represent a miracle, but I don't think tactics should be risky."

Alan Bair sighed. "If we are too slow, the loyal lords stationed here will be eaten alive by those evil guys. I didn't expect the battle motivation to be so great some time ago. Two highly respected lords came at once, and I need to attack Duke Magron Responsible, he is a loyal man.”

A touch of excitement flashed in Nova's eyes. "You bear too much burden, you can let others bear a little bit."

"No one. The second lieutenant is too young, the chief of staff is inexperienced in command, and boy Lytlin and Sergeant Catachan are even less so. And the only person I can expect, the sergeant who destroyed the Eagle, is now missing." Alan Bayer was a little sad.

"The Emperor has decided that I will give everything for this empire, so I can only do this. At least in my plan, the Skadi people will not disappear. I know that I should not take risks, but this universe can only be eaten up and wiped out step by step. .”

Nova was silent, then just bowed to him and left. When the door slowly closed, Alan Bayer took out information worth a thousand gold from the sealed drawer and studied the information above. The difference was not big, which made him relieved. .

And as he said, local battlefields can have talents like second lieutenants and chiefs of staff, but he dare not delegate power when it comes to the overall situation.

The situation of the Lieutenant General dying under an orc attack flashed through his mind, making him feel that the commander's burden was too heavy. If he would die one day, it would not matter if he could exchange for the safety of all Skadi.

The man-made light was sprinkled on the table through the window, and the wooden table was scalded by the heat, but the current situation is not bad, a large amount of materials are being sent to the ship warehouse in an orderly manner by the machine, and the Gothic dark color can be seen through the window. of metal towers of complexity and prosperity.

His situation is not bad, he has the right time, place and people, but the risk has not dissipated, and the victory of the war is not far away. Thinking of this, he is holding the scroll, unwilling to let go, how many lords can be drawn in, and how much help can be obtained , how much destiny can be changed is all in this action.

"Emperor, why do you give me such a responsibility? You also have many loyal servants who are stronger and smarter than me..."

But the complaints came not long ago, because the following reports had arrived as expected. The servitors had prepared the cargo with their rickety bodies and limbs, and the Reuter transport vehicles used by the Imperial Guard were transporting the fuel on their tracks.

Alan Bayer arranged his clothes, and the communicator transmitted a voice, which belonged to the captain of the Bordeaux. "Old friend." He is still open-minded. Although he is very old, Alan Bayer sometimes feels that he is younger than himself.

"It's time to go. Let's be the stone handles of the slingshot. It reminds me of the games I played when I was a kid!"

Alan Beyer simply replied. "It's obviously dangerous."

"There is no game that is not dangerous, and I want to see how fast this lady can be." The captain replied, and as he spoke, Alan Bair also cheered up.

"Yes, old friend, take the wheel and let the universe see what the Astra Militarum can do!" he said with a smile.
