The main star of Badab was a Hellfire-class heavy cruiser, an ancient warship used by the Empire during the Great Expedition. The warship is known for its strong structure and powerful firepower, but the long range and high power of the light spear array were largely exchanged for the sacrifice of the shield generator. Therefore, the shield of the ship is much weaker than that of the warships of the same class. Another design problem is that the cabins of the ship except the engine and plasma reactors are basically filled with a huge armory that provides ammunition to the long guns and short cannons. This means that the crew on the ship has only a very narrow space for movement and cannot carry a lot of supplies. It is difficult to compete for long-distance patrol missions without the support of transport boats and frigates.
Therefore, after the end of the Great Rebellion, the navy, which focused on maintaining the huge territory of the empire, gradually abandoned this type of warship and basically retired all of them, and could only be seen among the Chaos Rebels.
The hull of this Hellfire-class heavy cruiser is engraved with a huge metal skull logo, indicating that it comes from the Fourth Legion, and a line of text next to it demonstrates its infamous reputation-
Erashes the number.
Tes Dasadra stood on the bridge, wearing larger and thickened armor, with his left shoulder painted with yellow and black warning stripes commonly found in the legion. He held his helmet in his hand, revealing a face that seemed to be cut from granite, with clear edges and angularity, looking at this pirate world with focused head down.
The old Badab is not a big planet, but the ancient spaceport frame and surrounding orbital platforms make it look very large. After years of weathering, some architectural structures are painted with dirty red paint, while others are engraved with dark symbols of summoning rituals. The Red Pirates and the fleets of various war gangs are mooring ships nearby. In addition to various warships, there are also a large number of transport aircraft to transport labor and slaves. Many lost and captured imperial transport ships and large ships were also reused by the Red Pirates for evil purposes. The engineering ships of the Dark Mechanism Cult kept shuttled, enjoying the devil rituals and blasphemy transformations.
If you look closely, you will find that the planet has no oceans, the atmosphere is very thin, and the land is divided into several pieces, and there are huge magma rifts that can be seen clearly in space.
At the end of the Badabu siege, Huron activated the planet's destruction device. The natural climate of the old Badabu was completely destroyed, the core of the earth went wild, the crust broke, and the continent fell into a state of continuous instability.
After his return, although he spent a lot of effort to repair it, the situation of the old Badab was already irreversible. The originally restless core calmed down, but the planet's ground was only endless desolation, heat and division.
Through the observation window, Tes Dasadra saw that the largest part of the barren and broken continent had a high bulge, like a separate, bloated and obese nest.
That is the center of Huron's rule over Badab and the rebuilt Palace of Thorns.
In addition to the Thorn Palace, the most conspicuous planet is the nine huge silver towers outside the Thorn Palace. He guessed that it should be some kind of subspace energy hub.
At this time, a sound rang out from the bridge communications office.
"Master, the other party requires identification."
“Open the communication channel.”
Different sounds were transmitted into the bridge through speakers, and the communication officer exchanged information with the other party. When the negotiations were completed, a berth was opened at the track station.
"Welcome, Lord Tes Dasadra of the Iron Warriors."
A voice sounded like a scream of steel sweeping across the rocks.
"Mr. Hongsuo has known your arrival and asked me to do it for you-"
"No etiquette is needed, I'll just go see him."
“Uh, but…”
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing, Lord Hongsuo said that all your requirements are met, no problem."
Soon, the ship was moored in the port, and the Iron Warriors were riding in a transport plane and a weather-beaten storm bird headed to the ground.
With trembling and roar, the storm bird circled into the thin atmosphere and flew towards the giant buildings at the extremes of the planet. Soon he saw clearly the rebuilt Palace of Thorns - a nightmare building, entrenched on a small continent, half a palace and half a fortress. Among the bell towers, spires and rustling spires that soared into the sky, Dasadra also saw the Void Shield Generator and the Earth-to-orbit laser turret.
All barracks, squares, and armorys are built with heavy weapons protection, and the heavy walls are covered with large turrets and demon engines from the Dark Mechanics.
Following the guidance, the pilot controlled the aircraft, passed through the transport fleet carrying cultists to pray and mutant coolies to the factory, bypassed the scaffolding of the dark altar being built, and moved among various flight guidance instruments, descended in a thick smoke of heavy metal, and came to the factory area and above the airport where the church workers were transported to them.
There is a take-off and landing platform for VIPs. The walls around the tower are surrounded by sword-sharp spike guardrails. The platform itself is a pentagonal circled by the mark of destruction and giant electronic candles. Before the storm bird lands, the ragged cultists rushed up from the stone steps. Behind them is a captain with spikes and huge humanoid outlines dressed in dirty red armor.
“Prepare to land.”
Hovering on the take-off and landing platform, the pilot slightly deviated from the descent position, and the cultist who blew away, then fell heavily and extinguished the aircraft's engine.
"Let's go."
Dasadra walked past the cargo hold, and several armored followers followed him. He pressed the switch that opened the unloading ramp, took off his helmet, and magnetically attached it to his back.
When they walked down, they saw a small team of Red Pirates.
The explosive guns they equipped were all ancient models, and some of the people's armor and twisted bodies fused together, and red muscles and glittering rune marks appeared under the cracked armor.
Among them, one of them was not wearing a helmet, and the mutation of this person became even more significant. Half of his face belonged to a bald, bronze-skinned warrior, the other half was occupied by a beast with sharp teeth, yellow eyes, and unicorns. Half of the demon's mouth seemed to always smile on his own intoxication, while the other half opened his mouth bent down quietly.
"welcome."
The hideous red pirate said in a low voice:
"Dasadra from the Fourth Legion, I am Habibo, Lord Honso's defense sanctioner."
His voice almost came from his throat, one was joking and the other was gloomy and despair.
"Um."
Dasadra just snorted. Habibo was not annoyed if there was no more. After all, the other party was someone Huron specially called for a good hospitality. There were many Battle Gangs and Chaos Champions who came to Badabu during this period, but no more than ten of them were treated, which shows their relationship.
"Please do this."
