Warhammer 40: The Wandering Merchant

Chapter 94 Stormwatcher Chapter

It must be said that the Stormwatchers have built their space station in a rather high-tech way.

It is not as disorganized as space stations in most other worlds.

This gave Tie Hui the feeling of visiting a major tech company from his previous life.

The Stormwatchers, Astartes, watched as a group of people came out to allocate supplies, remaining extremely vigilant.

They were ordered to supervise this group of foreign Astartes, in case they came to spy on intelligence or secretly bring psionicists or star speakers off the warship.

They would have to be executed on the spot.

Tie Hui smiled slightly as he looked at Astartes of the Stormwatchers Chapter, who appeared to be patrolling but were actually monitoring them from a distance.

He immediately pretended to take a box of cookies from the backpacks of goods they had brought down, opened it, and handed the fragrant Emperor Cookies to everyone.

Everyone's eyes lit up; this thing really made them incredibly hungry.

Without any hesitation, he grabbed it and started eating.

Ah ~

That familiar feeling is back again; it's probably no more than the spiritual drugs that the underworld gangs at the bottom of the city use.

Astartes, the Storm Watcher, glanced at the scene with surprise, then shook his head and left to continue his pretense of patrolling.

As Astartes, they never expected that there would be Astartes willing to eat sweet cookies that only mortal children would eat.

This is utterly disgraceful to the angels of the Astartes Empire.

The desire for food and drink!

However, the smell was so enticing that even their sense of smell became more acute, and they were tempted to try it.

As members of the Astartes, they could instantly sense the excessive craving for these biscuits.

He glanced down at the psionic monitor.

Ah!

qualified!

Within safe limits!

The cargo ship was quickly resupplyed, and there wasn't much else to resupply.

At most, it's just the fuel and food consumed along the way.

As they were loading the ship for the final evacuation, Tie Hui watched the patrol teams shrink their encirclement once again.

He shook his head and pretended to take a large metal box from under the driver's seat in the cargo hold of the transport train.

Carrying it, they walked toward the Storm Watchers, Astartes, who appeared to be on patrol but were actually watching them from the sidelines.

Upon seeing this, the men instantly became alert, and slowly turned their explosive guns around.

Scans from various instruments confirmed that none of the people on the ship were Shloth.

But out of caution, they still made various preparations, just in case it was chaos.

Tie Hui walked up to the group without hesitation, bent down, placed the large metal box on his shoulder on the ground, patted it, making a thumping sound, and said to them, "Our leader said he appreciates your warband's temporary supplies and stopover. So, our leader said he'd like to offer a batch of our local specialties as a token of gratitude. These are our homemade Emperor Biscuits. They are very nutritious and can even be one of the main meals for you cultivators. The name 'Emperor Biscuits' also means that eating them will bring you the attention and protection of the God-Emperor."

After saying this, he performed a salute to the eagle and fled back to his own warship as if escaping.

The warship's stern engine started, and it quickly left the harbor.

The Astartes of the Stormwatcher Chapter looked at each other in bewilderment. What... was going on?

Are the Astartes on the other side really that enthusiastic?

As he spoke, one of the Astartes cautiously stepped forward and used his combat dagger to pry open the metal cover.

In an instant, the aroma of the Emperor Cookies burst forth again, and this time, being closer, they could smell the rich fragrance even more.

With just a breath, they felt mentally refreshed.

It was a gift from a brother chapter, and a joint gift from the four chapters of Black Templar, Blood Angels, Lamenters, and White Panthers.

It's almost certain that there won't be any problems.

The Nami Astartes who had pried open the metal cover stepped forward, took off his helmet, picked up a biscuit, and sniffed it.

This smell is really addictive.

He tentatively took a bite, and the instant he swallowed it, his eyes widened in shock.

This subtle movement instantly alerted the surrounding Astartes, who raised their bomb guns and heavy flamethrowers, aiming them at the box of biscuits and their companions.

They would pull the trigger immediately if there was any unusual movement.

However, after a while, there were no unusual changes.

On the contrary, their companion finished the cookie in a few bites and then picked up two more to continue eating.

This left the surrounding Astartes looking at each other in bewilderment.

Meanwhile, Astartes, who was eating biscuits, called out to his brothers, "These biscuits are really good. It seems the Empire has developed new food. I'm almost tired of this amino acid porridge stuff, so this is a good way to fill the void."

I don't know why, but the more I eat, the better it tastes.

Even though it's clearly a mixture of oil, sugar, flour, and various seasonings, it's just so addictive.

The instrument scanning also worked fine.

Moreover, the more I ate, the more I felt calm, warm and comfortable.

This eased the long-standing oppressive atmosphere within their warband somewhat.

One of the team leaders noticed something unusual about the biscuits when he saw his men enjoying them so much.

He immediately stopped everyone from eating like pigs fighting over food, slammed the lid shut, locked it, and hoisted it onto his back, saying, "I'm going to report to the station commander."

With that, he quickly boarded the transport ship and flew towards the distant satellite, which was also the location of their chapter's monastery, under the expectant gazes of his brothers.

Meanwhile, in the fleet that had already launched its warships and headed toward the coordinates provided by Sicatod,

Lyca Faith frowned and asked doubtfully, "Do you think your plan will succeed?"

Tie Hui shrugged: "Whether there are dates or not, let's cast a couple of shots."

Lyca Faith nodded and didn't say anything more, hoping that the box of Emperor Cookies would work.

Hearing the commotion behind him, he turned around and saw a group of people gathered around several large boxes, continuing to eat Emperor Cookies. His face darkened.

Damn it, even the last ton of inventory isn't enough for these bastards to make.

Angered by his lack of ambition, he stood up and came to the group, kicked one of the Black Templar brothers aside, then sat down and righteously picked up a biscuit to eat.

He then shamelessly added, "I'm doing this for your safety. Look at you all, you act like you've seen the Emperor himself the moment you see Emperor Cookies, you practically want to hug them all the time. You probably wouldn't even know if danger came and you got your heads chopped off!"

Meanwhile.

Inside the monastery of the Stormwatchers.

Chapter Master Logas McCree looked at the box of cookies his brother had brought back from the four combined chapter squads, filled with doubt.

That was filled with doubt.
