Warhammer: Beginning with Planetary Governors

Chapter 728 Imperial Fist: I'll show off to my brothers, you guys do whatever you want!

"hurry up!"

"Everyone must move quickly; no one can fall behind!"

Company Commander Galadon raised his thick eyebrows on his stern face and issued the order with a rather stern expression.

As the third company commander of the Imperial Fist, he is also the longest-serving combat company commander in the Legion's history.

This company commander was renowned and a powerful warrior; his physique and strength were almost a perfect embodiment of the teachings and instructions of the Father of Genetics, Dorn.

His will has been tempered on thousands of battlefields and around the world, making him the strongest iron wall of the Imperial Fist!
Galadon charged forward in a marching formation, followed by the muscular men of the Third Company.

The Imperial Fists are one of the strongest and most determined groups within the Space Marines.

These warriors, not even having time to put on their robes, rushed towards their destination, causing a commotion in the sanctuary and attracting attention.

That's a fighting stance.

Galadon continued to address the company, trying to boost morale:
"Children of Dorne, we are about to face a test that will determine the future of the Legion."

"We are the most determined company in the legion. Whoever falls first, get back to the Mountain Sanctuary for confinement!"

Before long, the upright and righteous company commander led his company to their destination, where scorching heat and roaring sounds rushed towards them.

That was the nightmare of all Imperial warriors, a place where supreme courage and physical strength were put to the test—

Hell Sauna Park.

The Imperial Knight-class plasma reaction engine alloy massage machine, the super fascia knife hell, and the ultra-high temperature steam sauna in this area are all must-try items for Imperial warriors.

The rankings of all participants will be displayed on the giant stone monument.

The relevant data rankings can intuitively reflect the physical strength, endurance, and willpower of the challengers.

That was one of the few challenge programs in the empire that could fairly demonstrate a soldier's physical fitness and willpower.

High-ranking beings such as the Savior, the Lord of Ottaramar, the Lion, the Commander of the Imperial Guard, and Dante, the leader of the Holy Blood Angels, have all left their records here.

Fascinating.

Who wouldn't want to challenge those legendary figures?!
Currently, in the leaderboard of the Hell Challenge projects, the top spot for all projects is held by the Savior, whose enormous ranking screen is eye-catching.

However, the specific achievements of the savior are hidden and unknown to the public, which is also a special challenge.

Only when a challenger breaks the Savior's record will the data of the first place be revealed, allowing people to see where the limits of the human body truly lie.

Every Imperial warrior wants to break that record and earn the title of the number one warrior in the Hell Sauna Park.

Unfortunately, no one has succeeded to this day.

The First Primarch, Lion Leon, attempted to challenge it.

Even after he fell into a complete coma, he was unable to break the Savior's record and make the data appear.

It can only rank second.

It is said that the lion persevered until he became delirious and could no longer bear it, even roaring before collapsing into unconsciousness—

This is impossible!

This demonstrates just how terrifying the Savior's physical strength was.

Any warrior who has endured the trials of the Hell Project will hold the number one ranking in awe.

As for the third place on the list, it is Dante, the commander of the Blood Angels Legion, whose extremely strong will even surpasses that of some Primarchs.

Under normal circumstances, such a high-intensity impact would have been enough to knock Dante unconscious or injure him and send him to a sanatorium.

However, he persevered.

Incredible.

In short, anyone who can make it into the top 100 will earn the respect of warriors, and as for the top ten, they are on par with the legends.

The high temperature inside the hellish sauna park caused steam to rise, and the alloy machines modified from heavy vehicle engines roared.

It’s daunting.

Company Commander Galadon was breathing heavily as he stopped at the entrance of the park with the Imperial Fist warriors.

Through the rising steam, they could vaguely make out tall figures in the distance, and there seemed to be quite a few of them.

Those were Calgar, the vice commander of the Limitless Legion, the Rift Lord's battle captain, and the warriors under their command.

They are undoubtedly the elite of the Empire's elite, and deserve the Imperial Fist's careful attention.

Garadon brought his company here primarily to represent the Imperial Fist and beings like Kargar in the Hell Challenge.

The goal is to complete all the challenges in one go, until everyone else is lying down.

For Space Marines, this is a stage for competition and also a friendly match to bring them closer together.

After all, only by demonstrating physical strength and willpower can one earn the respect of their comrades in battle.

Of course, the reason why Imperial Fist is taking this so seriously is mainly because this friendly match involves the Legion's battlefield engineering operations.

The reasons are quite complex.

The Iron Warriors have recently undertaken several major projects, even extending their reach into Holy Terra.

More importantly, many of the engineering projects were acquired by the Steel Warriors from other legions, and the cooperation between them was excellent.

It was only then that the Imperial Fist suddenly realized that its relationship with the other legions was not as good as that with the Iron Warriors who were tainted by the power of chaos.

They then lost several more engineering bids, even with the savior's resources showing favoritism.

What a shame?!
Their legion has been isolated for too long, with a hardline and stubborn attitude, and rarely interacts with other fighting brothers, which has ultimately led to the current situation.

That was an inevitable outcome.

Unlike the old empires, the new empire is not fragmented and acts independently, but rather a united whole. It is no longer feasible to pursue isolationism as before.

Moreover, many resources and projects require the legion to actively strive for them; otherwise, they can only watch helplessly as others take them away and gradually fall behind.

That was one of the development strategies set by the savior.

Due to the Horus Rebellion, the Empire imposed extremely harsh restrictions on the various chapters, stripping them of almost all autonomy over resources outside their homeworlds.

Now that the legion system is being restored, we must grant them more autonomy and find ways to unleash their potential.

The Savior hoped that each legion would exercise autonomy and expand by leveraging its advantages, rather than relying solely on the Imperial core for support.

For example, the legion's defensive works.

Although the Imperial Treasury will allocate some funds, the specifics of how large the project will be, how it will be built, which construction team will be selected, and who will be the partner are not determined.

These decisions are made internally by each legion, based on their own capabilities.

The empire's territory was incredibly vast.

Which legion can conquer more unreclaimed territories, take on more Imperial defenses, and defeat more alien heretical enemies?

Naturally, one can gain more merit and resources to build stronger fortresses or expand military forces.

It's all about survival of the fittest. The empire has no obligation to support backward legions; the strong should get more development.

That's being responsible to humanity.

At least for now, the Saviors have no intention of restricting the various legions, but rather allow them to grow wildly.

He needs to expand his military power rapidly in order to win the upcoming decisive battle.

However, it is clear that Imperial Fist has fallen behind in this round of development and has not made many achievements.

They can't just watch other legions grow stronger and expand their military power while the Imperial Fist remains as it was before, with only a few thousand men.
Iron Warriors have recently acquired more than ten high-level Titans thanks to the resource income from defensive engineering projects, and they are about to build a Titan legion!
The Fist of the Empire felt more pained watching its former enemy grow stronger than when it had suffered a defeat.

It hurts so much!
"The glory of the Imperial Fist is being lost little by little."

If things continue like this, who will remember that our legion was once bestowed with the laurel wreath of victory by the Emperor and was responsible for the defense and construction of the Imperial Palace?

Desien, the commander of the Imperial Fist Legion, said sadly not long ago:
“We must change, instead of watching other legions surpass us, especially the Iron Warriors.”

Do you know that right now, today, those bastards from the Iron Warriors are building a new defensive line outside the palace?

I can't imagine how sad our genetic father would be if he saw this.

We lost the right to construct the Imperial Palace's defenses in a humiliating defeat, even in a fair bidding process. Even if the Savior is willing to show favoritism, the Fist of the Empire must still prove its worth; don't forget we were once the strongest fortress-building legion!

The legion commander's question left all the Imperial Fist warriors speechless and deeply humiliated.

They decided to go all out to take down any defensive works and reclaim their lost honor!
The commander of the Imperial Fist Legion saw this thirteen-day Sanctuary retreat as a good opportunity.

Calga and his group happened to be there, presenting an opportunity to strengthen their relationship with the Extreme Legion.

More importantly, the Ultra Legion is very wealthy, and there are too many defensive works and frontline fortresses to be built in the five hundred worlds of Ultramar.

Big list!
It is said that the Iron Warriors have attempted to make contact with the Extreme Legion.

The Imperial Fist must take over all those defensive and frontline engineering projects before the enemy does!
Therefore, they sent their strongest combat company—the Third Company led by Garaton—to complete this crucial mission.

That company best embodies the physique and willpower of the Imperial Fist, and they must earn the respect of the Extreme Legion and other Space Marines in the Hell Challenge.

Simply put, Imperial Fist wants to appease the client, Ultralisk Karga, who is in charge of a major project.

We strive to ensure that both hosts and guests have a pleasant time and to strengthen the relationship between the two parties.

So they sent the toughest and most resilient young man in the legion to participate in this special social event.

We're looking to secure projects!
After all, the Ultramarines are incredibly powerful, known as the Empire's perfect warriors. If Dorne's sons fall halfway through the Hell Challenge, how can they earn their respect?

Call ~
Company Commander Galadon took a deep breath and adjusted his state.

The veteran combat company commander was somewhat nervous; he had never been this nervous before, not even when he participated in the Apocalypse War.

It's mainly because of one person—

Calgar.

That being was renowned and had defeated many legendary enemies.

It is said that the other party even fought against Horus, the legendary and extremely terrifying traitor Primarch, on Vigilant Planet.

Such a powerful warrior! It won't be easy for us, the sons of Dorne, to win his approval.

That was a tough challenge.

Moreover, he and the Third Company, as a combat company, also bore the important mission of the legion.

We absolutely cannot afford to fail at the last hurdle.

At this moment, the roar of machinery in the park seemed to intensify, and the soldiers' cries of pain and agony could be heard from time to time.

This made the atmosphere even more somber.

Whether it's the Imperial Knight-class plasma reaction engine alloy massage machine or the Super Fascia Knife Hell, both can produce excruciating pain.

Especially when used with special repairing essential oils, it's like crushing all the muscles in your body and then constantly reshaping and growing them.

Although it is good for the body's muscles and even bones, it is really painful.

For some high-level warriors, being slashed, hit, or even having their limbs severed on the battlefield is like a tickle.

But the Hell Challenge is extremely painful and excruciating; even the strongest high-level warriors eventually succumb to the agonizing screams.

It's even more terrifying than going to war!
After composing himself, Galadon turned around and looked at the faces ravaged by war, each scar clearly visible.

They were all seasoned veterans and the most resilient sons of Dorne.

The company commander, his gaze incredibly solemn, said softly:

"Let's go in……"

That sounded like a call to arms. The warriors of Imperial Fist exchanged glances and silently stepped into the park.

It's like participating in a battle from which there is no return.

Brothers, let's fight! We have to hold on until Calgar falls and we get the Ultramarines engineering project!

Inside the park, the scorching air enters the lungs with each breath, like inhaling hot sand.

When Garadon and the other Imperial Fist warriors arrived at the agreed location, the warriors of the Ultra Infantry and the Rift Lords had already warmed up.

Calga's tall figure sat on the alloy stool, with only a white bath towel wrapped around his waist.

His muscles bulged, and his scarred body looked even more ferocious under the light.

The perfect Ultramarines and Legion Vice Commander looked over, scrutinizing the Dornish offspring with a critical gaze.

All eyes turned to them, making the atmosphere in the area even more tense.

Galadon remained silent and gave a slight salute to the Vice Commander of the Extreme Legion.

Neither of them spoke, but they exchanged glances; at that moment, words were meaningless.

The heat is steaming.

Several Imperial Fist warriors silently stepped forward, poured special essential oils onto their bodies, and applied them all over their bodies.

Without any hesitation, they boldly stepped into the super fascia knife hell and directly raised the intensity to a high level!
The meaning of these Dornish offspring is quite clear—

"I'll take one bottle first!"

"I'm not going to say anything more. I'll show you all something, you can do whatever you want!"

hum! ! !
A deafening roar followed, the sound of the alloy fascia knife crushing muscles sending chills down one's spine.

The Imperial Fist warrior, his body red from excruciating pain, gritted his teeth and remained silent.

The warriors of the Limitless Legion and the Lord of Rift looked at this scene with respect.

That proved the strength of their bodies and their unwavering will.

A true hero among heroes!

The bravery of the Dorne's offspring slightly heightened the atmosphere.

Calga nodded in satisfaction, acknowledging the strength of these warriors. He finally rose from the alloy stool, exuding an imposing aura.

He glanced at the Ultra Warrior beside him, giving him a knowing look.

Afterwards, several extreme warriors came out, applied special essential oils, and embarked on the Super Fascia Knife Hell, which was also a direct high-level intensity.

The Ultra Warriors are showing off too!
After both the Extreme Legion and the Imperial Fist sent out representatives to show off, the atmosphere was fully built up, and they officially began their Hell Challenge.

The sons of Dorne fought with all their might, taking down one Ultramarines after another.

Strive for the project goals.

Before long, the roar of machinery in the park became even more intense, and cries of pain could be heard from time to time.

That was a battle between physical strength and willpower!
Just as the Imperial Fist was clashing with the Ultra Warrior.

One landing ship after another entered the atmosphere, fully loaded with the space ghosts of the Kalozasa dynasty, and flew towards the royal palace area in the Himalayas.

Outside the palace, the Steel Warriors Legion's construction team is working feverishly.

……

On near-Earth orbit of the Holy Terra.

Lions Gate Airport.

The Redemption 113 pilgrimage ship arrived at its destination and entered the dock following the airport's instructions.

"Savior above!"

"My God, I've never seen such a clear sky before, what is that blue color...?"

Pilgrims emerged from the enclosed cabins, their view suddenly opening up.

From the floor-to-ceiling windows of this hall, they can see that blue planet—Sacred Terra, which was called Earth in ancient times.

Pilgrims, their faces filled with awe and wonder, headed toward the space elevator.

"Savior above, Holy Terra is so beautiful! It's unlike any other planet. Big guy, look at that place!"

The short veteran was loud and boisterous, quite excited.

However, when he turned his head, he found that the big guy Dorn next to him had disappeared at some point.
