Infinite Metaverse

"As far as I know, Lord Hunting is the way to play in the Necromunda Hive."

Fu Qinghai looked at Koshvito and said slowly.

Koshvito shrugged and said:

"Ten years ago, the eldest son of the Thorndike family, Kathy Thorndike, brought this popular activity to the Schwerin Hive after returning from traveling around the world of Necromunda Hive. Come."

There was a hint of sarcasm in Koshvito's tone, and he emphasized the words "everyone loves you" very hard.

Fu Qinghai pursed his lips and thought.

Although limited by the instability and inefficiency of subspace navigation, there is always the circulation of information and materials within the empire, and the famous Rogue Traders specialize in this.

Just like in the bottom nest of the Schwerin Hive, there are reflective sheets originating from the Weiss Sector, and the elixir originating from the Necromunda Hive.

Even drugs are in circulation, not to mention culture.

As expected, the descendants of the Shangchao nobles are a group of pampered playboys.

But dandy kids occasionally need to seek excitement, and they need to establish a chain of contempt among a group of dandy kids. Showing off is the eternal need of human beings after they have had enough to eat, drink and exercise.

So the dandies in the Necromunda Hive developed a brand new way of playing the game - Lord Hunting.

The young nobles put on expensive hunting lord suits, formed a team and descended to the bottom nest, swore an oath to complete tasks such as "individual survival in designated areas" or "killing targets", and were not allowed to return to the top before completing the task. nest.

This is a coming-of-age ceremony. If these people can come back alive, it means that these young people born in decadent noble families are cold-blooded, cruel and resourceful enough to be qualified to serve as hive leaders in the future.

Sometimes, individual young nobles will have a pure interest in the activity of Lord Hunting, the pleasure of killing that has nothing to do with inheritance, and take the initiative to join other Lord Hunting teams, go hunting in the bottom nest, or establish a Lord Hunting team of their own. Go play in the bottom nest.

"In the Schwerin Hive, Lord Hunting is not linked to inheritance rights. It's just that the young nobles think this activity is cool, so they organize themselves spontaneously, wear elite power armor, go down to the bottom of the nest, and take the vicious bottom. The lives of hive creatures and the poor bottom hive people are used as a means to prove their courage."

Koshvito explained to Fu Qinghai.

Fu Qinghai nodded slightly to express understanding.

Then he asked:

"But, what does this have to do with me? I'm going to the upper nest, and it doesn't conflict with them coming to the bottom nest to hunt for lords."

"Don't you want to know what's going on in the nest now?"

Kirshvitto asked with a smile.

Fu Qinghai narrowed his eyes: "What do you mean?"

Kirshvitto said:

"The backer behind the Longtooth Gang is the Bentham family, one of the five major families in Shangchao. Not long ago, I captured a member of the Longtooth Gang. I learned some information about Shangchao from him through torture."

Koshvitosu said:

"The planetary governor who had previously suppressed the rebellion of the reincarnators was found dead in his official residence under mysterious circumstances three months ago. The Schwerin Hive World lost its highest official official. After some fights and discussions, finally The five major families have jointly agreed to determine which family the new planetary governor will come from based on the performance rankings of this year’s Lord Hunting event.”

Koshvito gave a meaningful look:

"You know what this means. The nature of Lord Hunting has changed this year. It is no longer a thrill-seeking and fun-seeking behavior of young nobles, but has become a killing game to determine the position of planetary governor. No one of the five major families wants to have power. By the way, they don't want a bloody civil war to break out, causing the foundation of their rule to be shaken. They want to limit the scope of the fight to the hunting lords, and they want to limit the scope of the fight to the bottom nest, but even so, there will definitely be an uproar in the bottom nest. A bloody storm.”

After hearing what Koshvito said, Fu Qinghai frowned, remained silent, and tapped his knees with his fingers.

Why Fu Qinghai didn't rush to the entrance guarded by the Chao Capital's bailiffs was because he planned to find out the current situation in the Chao Capital first.

The former planetary governor was considered a loyalist. He suppressed the rebellion of the rebel reincarnations such as Chen Xinlu. This was good news.

But now he is dead, and his death is inexplicable.

To be honest, Fu Qinghai didn't care who sat as the Governor of the Schwerin Hive World. Attitude is very important, it directly determines whether Fu Qinghai can return to Terra.

Fu Qinghai and Koshvito are reincarnators. Through the sound of the reincarnation world, we can know that the emperor plot line camp has won the final victory.

But the natives of Schwerin Hive didn't know.

Fu Qinghai has only been on the wild alien planet for three months. In just three months, will a star language communication be transmitted to the Schwerin Hive to inform him of the situation on the battlefield of Terra? Fu Qinghai will not clear.

Even astrological communication can of course transmit false information. What if the news received by the Schwerin Hive is fake news, that Warmaster Horus has won? It's not impossible.

Fu Qinghai looked serious and asked:

"I don't care about who owns the position of Planetary Governor. I only care about the attitude of the Schwerin Hive towards the Horus Heresy after the death of the previous Planetary Governor, and what is its stance on the planetary camp?"

Kirshvitto spread his hands: "I don't know."

"Don't know?" Fu Qinghai repeated.

Such an important and critical issue, but you don’t know?

"Yes." Koshvito said, "I have no information in the lower nest, and I have no background in the upper nest. Forgive me, I really don't know what the public stance of the Schwerin nest world is in the star region."

"Ah."

Fu Qinghai looked at it playfully and chuckled.

Loyalty that is not absolute is absolute disloyalty.

Isn't it true that there is a Space Marine in the hive world? It's time to remind this group of fat-headed hive nobles what the price of sitting on the fence is.

Fu Qinghai didn't know the technological level of the Schwerin Hive. Taking the Necromunda Hive, the birthplace of the Lord Hunting activity, as an example, the Lord Hunting Suit was built by the aristocratic children at no cost. And the level of technology is no less than the power armor of Space Marines.

Again, there is a difference between personal equipment and mass-produced equipment. The various parameters of the Blue Shell Power Armor are far superior to the standard MK4 Extreme Power Armor.

"Have you played against them? What do you think of their equipment level?"

Fu Qinghai asked Koshvito.

"Well..." Koshvito touched his chin, "The last time I came here, I just happened to catch up with the Hunting Lord. When the Horus Heresy first broke out, the Lord Hunting event was canceled for a while. Later, after people in the Schwerin Hive discovered that neither the loyal fleet nor the rebel fleet visited the hive world, they gradually resumed their Lord Hunting activities."

"As for the equipment level, objectively speaking, it's really good, but the person who controls the equipment is a bit stretched."

Koshvito winked at Fu Qinghai:

"You are also a trained soldier, you know what I mean."

Fu Qinghai nodded slowly.

In the bottom nest, it is unclear whether the mutant creatures are more dangerous or the unruly people in the bottom nest are more dangerous...perhaps the harsh environment is the most dangerous. In short, showing off cannot affect survival. It is inevitable for the noble children to build hunter suits regardless of cost. However, the technological level of Necromunda Hive Hunter suit can surpass the power armor of Space Marines in some aspects. The premise is that Nirvana The Cromunda Hive itself hides some black technology and unknown STC templates.

As for the specific level of the nobles in Schwerin Nest City, it can only be tested in actual combat.

After thinking about all this, Fu Qinghai turned to look at Koshvito and said with a smile:

"Having said so much, Koshivito, what is your plot?"

The Spartan warrior said openly:

"I can't hide it from you. Yes, I also want to take advantage of this hunting lord to get a share of the pie. This is a great opportunity to reshuffle the power structure of the hive city. I have already dropped the anchor of the world here. The experience during this period has made me I understand that you will never get ahead just by becoming the leader of the Xiachao gang. I need your help to make this muddy water even muddier."

"I believe you need my help as well, brother."

Koshvito looked at Fu Qinghai sincerely and said.

Fu Qinghai was not surprised by this. He thought for a moment and said slowly:

"First of all, you have to tell me, which family did the last planetary governor belong to?"

"It's the Sommerfeld family. The last planetary governor was Otis Sommerfeld."

Koshvito answered without hesitation.

Fu Qinghai nodded:

"Well, then this Sommerfeld family is our current potential ally. Their attitude is probably close to the emperor's camp. I say high probability."

"You're right."

Kirshvitto agreed.

"And." Fu Qinghai added lightly:

"Baron Zedu's family must be exterminated."

Koshvito looked stern. This was the first time he heard Fu Qinghai specifically mention a Shangchao family. However, he did not ask the reason, but nodded:

"I see."

Who is our enemy? Who are our friends? This question is first and foremost.

——"Analysis of Various Classes in Chinese Society"

To put it bluntly, the magic weapon of struggle is to win over one faction, attack another, unite the majority, and suppress the minority. This means to defeat many of our people and only a few of the enemy's.

Many Cloud Hammers like to spread rumors that a few Space Marines can destroy a city, a few people can destroy a country, and a few people can destroy a planet.

It sounds like the Space Marines are all human-shaped cyclone torpedoes.

Take the case that Fu Qinghai has seen in the original novel: the Primarch of the Third Legion, the Imperial Phoenix Fulgrim, led only seven Space Marines of the Emperor's Sons to conquer and regain a planet. In the circle of Space Marines There is a story about Fulgen's unparalleled strategy.

Fu Qinghai also heard this story during his military service.

This was when the Primarch personally led the team, and the opponent was still a planet whose technological level had only reached the cold weapon age, and did not even have a matchlock gun.

Unlike many people's imagination of cutting mountains with one sword and cutting rivers with two swords, even facing a backward feudal world, Fulgrim did not conquer the planet by chopping and slashing all the way, but was deeply involved in this planet. In the original political disputes on the planet, the separatists and the royalists fought against each other, and eventually they were all settled and the planet was recovered.

As long as you think about it, you can understand that in the Warhammer 40K universe, there are tens of billions of people on a planet. If they just stand still and let you cut them down, how long will it take a team of space warriors to cut them down?

Warhammer 40K is not about fairy tales. Even a space opera must pay attention to basic logic.

Now, Fu Qinghai plans to replicate the Phoenix Lord's case in Schwerin Hive City, and use this opportunity to hunt for Lords to eradicate Tzeentch's minions in one fell swoop, while at the same time returning the ambiguous Hive World to firm loyalty. the sequence of!
