The Bizarre Adventures of Cloud Hammer

The enemy's Iron Cavalry Terminator was killing people indiscriminately in front. Morand recognized the Iron Cavalry Terminator. When he participated in the new recruit selection of the Creed Knights, the chapter master was wearing the Iron Cavalry Terminator and watching from a distance. After passing the selection, Morand asked an old soldier and learned that the set of Iron Cavalry Terminator was a chapter holy relic with only one set, and only the previous chapter masters were qualified to wear it.

When Mordred was hesitating whether to break through by force, a team of tall figures walked out from behind them. They were the Iron Cavalry Terminator squad of the Ultramarines.

The Ultramarines' Iron Cavalry Terminators opened their stance shields and advanced against the enemy's firepower. Morand also saw a Terminator close his stance shield to protect a fleeing civilian nearby and took a large-caliber round from the enemy. The body of the Iron Cavalry Terminator was also shaken.

The Terminators cleared a group of enemies in front of them. The Terminator captain, holding a power sword, shouted as he advanced:

"Your opponent is me, traitor!"

So cool!

These scenes made Morand's blood boil, and he imagined himself wearing a cavalry terminator and killing the enemy. This is what an Astartes should be like.

With the cooperation of the Iron Cavalry Terminator, Modred and his team arrived at the central area and joined the Ultramarines here. They had to hold out here until more support arrived.

But the enemy was obviously well prepared. The Ultramarines were divided into different areas and fought independently, and were gradually defeated by the traitors.

The Extreme Marines suffered heavy casualties, and even Mordred was seriously injured. This made Morand angry and anxious, but he could do nothing but watch the warriors fall one by one.

After a long battle, the exhausted Mordred was knocked down by a World Eater. When the World Eater was about to kill Mordred, a cloaked and victorious soldier came to Mordred like a gust of wind and killed the World Eater with one sword.

"Get up, brother Mordred." The Ever-Victorious Army pulled Mordred up from the ground.

"Lord Uldren." Mordred called out the name of the victorious soldier in front of him. He was the Uldren that the Ultramarines had always mentioned.

"Gather the remaining brothers, Brother Mordred. We must abandon this place." Uldren said to Mordred, "The Mechanicus' reinforcements have already set out. We need to regroup our scattered forces to have a chance of defeating the enemy."

"I understand...Lord Uldren, be careful!"

Several enemies were rushing towards the two of them. Orton took the initiative to meet them and fought against multiple people at the same time without losing the upper hand. After a few moves, he killed one of them first and quickly eliminated all the traitors.

"Let's go, we don't have much time." Uldren said, and more enemies were coming in the distance.

When Moreland wanted to continue watching the subsequent developments, the pastor's voice pulled him back to the real world.

"what?"

Morand regained consciousness and was still in the training ground. The priest stood in front of him, and the veteran who served as the instructor for the recruits had been knocked to the ground.

The priest told Morand what had just happened. When he was sparring with the instructor, he suddenly shouted "Legion" and "Traitor" and defeated the instructor. It felt like he had become a different person.

Morand also told the pastor roughly what he had seen. Those memories were too real for him to recover from.

"Those are the battle memories in the gene seed. Come with me, Morand, I need to know everything you saw." The priest told Morand that the gene seed can preserve the battle memories of the Astartes when they were alive, and can allow new recruits who use this gene seed to slowly awaken the combat experience and skills of veterans. What he saw was the battle memory of the Ultramarines named Modred.

Upon learning about the battle memories Morand had seen, the priest immediately consulted with other high-ranking members of the chapter, because what Morand had seen was likely a memory from the Great Heresy.

In the following days, several more recruits experienced the same situation as Morand. After comparing their memories, it was confirmed that Morand and these recruits saw the same event from different perspectives. Their memories all mentioned the ever-victorious soldier named Orton.

"Is it a problem with the gene seed?" asked the pharmacist in charge of the surgery for this group of recruits doubtfully.

Decades ago, the Knights of the Creed Chapter in the Pacific Sector was attacked by Chaos warbands. The Chapter suffered heavy casualties, and even most of its gene-seed bank was contaminated. The Chapter Master had no choice but to ask Terra for a batch of gene-seeds to rebuild the Chapter.

The application of the Knights of the Creed was fortunately approved by the Ministry of the Interior. A batch of Ultramarines gene seeds were transferred from Mars to the Knights of the Creed, who were a successor to the Ultramarines. Now it seems that this batch of gene seeds is indeed quite pure. It can be traced back to the time of the Great Heresy. How can it not be pure?

"There is nothing wrong with the gene seeds, but why are these gene seeds so old?" The Chapter Master of the Creed Knights was puzzled. Could Mars be so good as to give them such a rare gene seed?

Unless you ask the Martian Mechanic, there is no way to know the answer. Originally, the Creed Knights wanted to leave this matter alone, because awakening combat memories is a good thing for recruits, which can enable recruits to grow quickly and further accelerate the recovery of the regiment's combat effectiveness.

But as more and more recruits in the Chapter awakened their memories, the things the Chaplains heard became increasingly horrifying. For example, one day, a recruit awakened his memory and said that he saw Roboute Guilliman, the Father of Genes, and Sanguinius, the Primarch of the Blood Angels, together, talking about establishing the Second Empire...

Before the recruit could finish his words, the pastor subconsciously covered his mouth. Even the pastor himself didn't know why, but he just couldn't let the recruit tell this story.

Afterwards, the Chapter held another meeting, and this time the priest proposed:

"Why don't we go to Macragge and talk to the Ultramarines about this?"

The Chapter Master agreed with the priest's suggestion and decided to discuss the matter of these new recruits with the Ultramarines.

The Knights of the Creed sent a small fleet, with a Chaplain and a Captain leading several recruits to Macragge. When they arrived, the Ultramarines Chapter Master also returned to Macragge.

"The gene-seed your recruits are using comes from the Heresy?"

After learning about the Creed Knights, the Ultramarines Chapter Commander summoned the Librarian. The Chapter Librarians were not only psykers, they were also among the people who knew the Chapter's history and traditions best. After listening to the combat memories of the Creed Knights recruits, the Librarian quickly found the corresponding historical records.

"Their memories do indeed come from the time of the Heresy, when the Word Bearers and World Eaters attacked the Five Hundred Worlds of Ultramar. During that time, nearly a hundred worlds fell at the hands of the traitors, and Calth was one of the first to be attacked."

The Librarian recounted that period of history. The Ultramarines suffered heavy casualties in the attacks of the two traitor legions, but under the leadership of the Primarch they still managed to drive the traitors out of the Five Hundred Worlds of Ultramar and recover the losses of the legion.

"Then..."

The Creed Knight Priest had just uttered three words when the Think Tank Director silenced him with psychic power, saying:

"Nothing special. You must never mention this memory in front of anyone."

The priest nodded. It seemed that this was indeed a secret that the Ultramarines could not reveal to others.

The Ultramarines Chapter Master noticed something and asked the Chaplain:

"You recruits all mentioned Uldren in their memories, right?"

"Yes, sir, do you know this person?"

"I know there's a good chance he's still alive."

"what?"

The priest thought that it had been ten thousand years, and this victorious warrior named Uldren should have long been a figure in the history of the Ultramarines. He didn't expect that he was still alive?

"Could it be someone with the same name?"

"Most likely not."

The Ultramarines Chapter Master recalled that the Chapter Master of the Nebula Hammer mentioned by the Space Wolves was named Uldren, and he was also an undefeated soldier. Is there really such a coincidence in the world?

Decades ago, in order to help this predecessor, the Ultramarines Chapter Master sent a report to Terra, saying that the Nebula Hammer was a lost sub-chapter in the Ultramarines' records and hoped that it could be re-registered.

"If this Lord Uldren still lives, is he on Macragge?" the priest asked.

"He is not on Macragge. To be more precise, he is not currently with the Ultramarines."

"Then where is this senior now?" The priest was curious why such a veteran soldier was not in the battle group.

"We don't know at this point."

The Ultramarines also asked the Space Wolves about the whereabouts of the Nebula Hammer, but the Space Wolves said that they had been separated from the Nebula Hammer for a long time and did not know its whereabouts.

The Ultramarines cannot mobilize the entire regiment to look for an old veteran just because of him. They can only wait until the other party contacts the regiment on their own initiative and then go to pick him up.

Not long after, the Ultramarines also figured out how to deal with the matter of the Knights of the Creed. The Ultramarines would send people to accept this batch of new recruits from the Knights of the Creed. The memories of these recruits were too heavy for the sub-regiments that were not of the Second Founding, so keeping them in the parent regiment was the safest way.

As compensation, the Ultramarines will also send a batch of new recruits to the Creed Knights. After all, they are all family, so there is nothing wrong with exchanging them. Anyway, the Ultramarines have a lot of new recruits, and they can even give more to the Creed Knights to replenish new blood.

The Chaplains were unable to reach a decision on the matter, so the Ultramarines would send a fleet back with the Knights of the Creed to confer with their Chapter Master.

The Ultramarines Chapter Master ordered the Knights of the Creed to rest for a few days in Macragge before setting off again.

After the Knights of the Creed left, before the Ultramarines Chapter Master could rest, the Chapter Servant reported another matter: a fleet of the Blood Angels arrived in Macragge and had important matters to discuss with the Chapter Master.

"Why would the Blood Angels come here at this time?"

Puzzled, the Ultramarines Chapter Master met with the Blood Angels.

Chapter 117 Ten Years (Happy New Year)

Although ten years have passed, Ravenstein still thinks every day when he wakes up that he is still in the wilderness full of dangers, and if he is not careful, he will die without a trace left.

Tyria was once a dead world, lacking resources and filled with dangerous mutant beasts. However, even on such a dangerous planet, humans still exist. They are divided into many settlements of varying sizes, relying on very little land and water resources and hunting to survive on this planet for countless years.

Because of its remote location and its proximity to the Ghoul Star Zone, the Empire had no time to manage this worthless planet after the Great Rebellion. In the past ten thousand years, it only collected tithes once or twice. Most of the time, the Empire seemed to have forgotten about this planet and did not send anyone to manage it. It basically left the people on it to fend for themselves.

But even without taxes, the lives of the people of Tyria were not much better. They had to do their best just to stay alive. In order to survive, even children who had just turned ten needed to go into the wilderness to hunt. Ravenstein was once such a child, but now everything is different.

Ten years ago, the Emperor's angels descended on Tyria and became the rulers of the planet, rescuing the people of Tyria from dire straits. The angels cleared out the mutated beasts on Tyria and transformed the environment. Now this world has become a paradise that the people of Tyria could not even imagine, with fertile land, abundant water resources, dense forests... everything.

After transforming the planet, the angels gave the Tyrians crops and livestock and taught them the corresponding technology. From then on, the Tyrians no longer had to suffer from hunger. Later, the angels also built towns and gave the Tyrians new homes.

Since the arrival of the angels, the lives of the people of Tyria have been getting better and better. Just look at Ravenstein. He used to be skinny, but now he is as strong as a bull.

Many old people complained that the angels destroyed their traditions and made them weak, but this was just a verbal joke. If they were asked to live their previous lives again, they would definitely not be willing to do so.

Ravenstein got up very early because today was the day he went to the hospital for a check-up. A few years ago, he was diagnosed with a strange disease that made others feel inexplicably disgusted with him. At first, he thought he had done something that made others dislike him. Later, after going to the hospital for a check-up, he learned that this was a rare disease. Fortunately, the angels have a way to cure this disease, allowing Ravenstein to live a normal life until now.

As he walked out of the house, the first thing Ravenstein saw was the tall tower reaching into the sky in the distance. It was the orbital tower that was completed a few years ago, and the angels' fleet was parked in the starport above.

Ravenstein walked towards the town. He stopped for a while when passing the farmland, thinking that in a few months it would be the harvest season again. He would never get tired of such scenery no matter how many times he saw it. It was the angels who brought them all this.

Entering the town and walking through the bustling streets and alleys, Ravenstein looked at the huge castle at the other end of the town - Cloudhammer Castle. That was where the angels lived. Almost every day there were angels staying around the castle, hoping to catch a glimpse of the angels. It would be even better if they could be lucky enough to become an angel's servant.

If only I could serve the angels.

Ravenstein stopped his delusions and walked straight into the hospital.

In the Nebula Hammer Chapter Monastery - Cloud Hammer Castle, in the central office area, Ou Ge was dealing with documents with nothing to do. After finishing the documents in his hands, Ou Ge stretched, and at this time Apu walked in with another pile of documents.

"Here, this is for this month." Apu put the file on the desk and said, "You still have a lot of things to do. You can't rest now, Brother Ou."

"Climb, climb, climb. Do you really think I'm an extreme civil servant?"

Ou Ge moved the documents away. Basically, all the things on the planet were handled by the artificial humans specially created by Gloria. He just came here to do something out of boredom.

Apu found a place to sit and asked:

"By the way, how long have we been here?"

"It's been several months, but ten years have passed in external time." Ou Ge replied. With Gloria adjusting the time, they didn't have to stay there for ten years.

"It's so fast, I almost forgot what this place was like when I first came here."

"When we first arrived... I don't know why we chose this world so suddenly. If it weren't for a few high-powered relics, we would have been completely screwed."

Ten years ago, everyone came to the Londe Yar sector where Tyria is located. After some selection, they finally chose Tyria as the 'home world' of Nebula Hammer. In fact, everyone had better planets to choose, but they just wanted to challenge themselves to see if they could make a death world well.

As soon as we entered Tyria, we started sweating. The whole planet was pure wasteland. It was a miracle among miracles that people could survive. What was even more unbearable was the mutant creatures that started from a few meters and grew to dozens of meters. There were some flying in the sky, some running on the ground, and some swimming in the water. At first glance, we thought we had traveled to the world of Monster Hunter, and the people of Tyria were actually hunting with cold weapons.

MD can't stand it anymore, the Blue Dream Creation Program is started!

First, everyone spent some time protecting the only millions of people on Tyria, and then sent a group of Titans and Knights to clean up the mutant creatures on land, and "disinfect" those in the sea with genetic drugs. In less than a month, the large mutant creatures on Tyria were basically dead, and the remaining "small animals" were not a concern.

Then, everyone used the Earth in their memories as a template to transform Tyria into an upgraded version of the Earth in the 3K period. It had everything it needed, and all the bad aspects were eliminated. If a time traveler came to identify it, they would only think that Tyria was the real Earth.

It was like everyone was playing an extra-long SLG game. In ten years, they transformed a wasteland tribe into an agricultural society. In terms of medical care and other aspects, they were even at the future level. The strong acceptance of the Tyrians also accelerated the process of development. At this rate, they should be able to reach the modern level in a few decades.

"At this rate, we'll stay here for about a year." Apu calculated the time. Everyone was planning to leave after Tyria developed to a certain level. Rather than staying in one place to farm, it would be more suitable for them to adventure around the galaxy.

But that doesn't mean they can just leave it alone. Tyria is the 'home world' of the Nebula Hammer. Even if they run to the other side of the galaxy, they can still remotely monitor Tyria's situation. The androids left behind by Gloria will continue to manage the planet and allow Tyria to develop according to everyone's plan.

"Where are the others? What are they doing?" asked Brother Ou.

"Awei is still designing the city, saying it will be useful in the future."

Ah Wei is the busiest person among all the people who came to Tyria. The burning spirit of Iron Bravery made Ah Wei take charge of all the architectural matters in Tyria, including towns, orbital towers, starports... and Cloudhammer Castle where Apu and Ogo are located, all of which were handled by Ah Wei himself.

"Xianyu, Luochen, and Eryu went to explore the outer reaches of the Ghoul Stars. They just destroyed a fleet of alien raiders a few days ago."

Coming to the Londeyar star zone close to the Ghoul Stars, sooner or later everyone will have to deal with people in the Ghoul Stars. The main purpose of the three Xianyu is to set up a hidden outpost on the outskirts of the Ghoul Stars to observe the situation between the star zone and the Ghoul Stars.

Apu and Ou Ge chatted about recent events for a while until Gloria told them that the untouchable named Ravenstein had returned to the hospital for a follow-up examination.

Ravenstein was disliked not because he had some strange disease, but because his characteristics as an untouchable began to show. Fortunately, his abilities were not too strong, and he was able to suppress them to the level of ordinary people through various means.

As the only untouchable person on Tyria, Ravenstein is the focus of everyone's attention and research. His movements are always kept under everyone's control to prevent him from encountering any accidents.

"Gloria, have you made any progress?" Brother Ou wanted to know whether the Untouchables could be cloned. Then he could raise an army of Untouchables and kill any demons that came into the real universe.

"No, this soul-based characteristic cannot be replicated. We can only think of another way."

In the past few years, Gloria has figured out the principle of the Untouchables, but it is basically impossible to replicate it on other people, so Gloria can only find another way.

What everyone is interested in is not the anti-psychic ability of the Untouchables, but they want to find a way to sever the connection between humans and the subspace from the Untouchables.

"So Gloria, have you figured it out?"

"I have an idea, but it will take some time."

Gloria's ability as a top student is not to be underestimated. She has already come up with a new method, but she just needs time to put it into practice.

"As long as we have an idea, we still have plenty of time."

Everyone was not in a hurry for the moment, because there was no point in being anxious. They could only rely on Gloria for such technical matters. If Gloria couldn't do it, then they would have no other choice.

"Oh, by the way, there's one more thing." Gloria said, "Do you remember the Mechanicus sage named Gregor?"

"I remember, didn't he go back to Mars?" Apu asked. Gregor still left a deep impression on him. It was very rare to find such a mechanic who wanted to make progress.

Gloria extracted the meaning of Gregor's long message and said:

"Gregor sent us a message not long ago, saying he had left Mars but hadn't been able to find a new place to go. He asked if he could sign a contract with us and come to Nebula Hammer to work for a while, and he also offered to give us his disciple, Berlani."
