The speech in the tavern was recorded by busybodies and quickly spread.
This video was more effective at mobilizing the populace than even the Ecclesiarchy's propaganda.
Alex obtained the tavern speech video immediately.
Watching the Warmaster in the video, impassioned and in his element, stirring the emotions of the populace,
he could only sigh that some people were born for war.
The Warmaster was just an ordinary university student in Holy Terra (Earth/Reality).
Mediocre grades, ordinary looks.
If nothing unexpected happened, he would live a mediocre life.
But who would have thought that this guy's speaking talent was so strong!
It was enough to rival the man called a demon.
Alex casually uploaded the tavern speech video to the official website.
Such passionate material was perfect for luring in those cloud Players and keeping their enthusiasm high.
Just as Alex expected,
not long after the video was uploaded, information in the forums and chat groups surged.
The number of reservations also reached a new high.
Guilliman is the Only Sun: "Ah! Ah! Ah! I want to play too, I want to play too. Emperor, let me pledge loyalty to the Imperium."
Erlonghu Gang Leader: "Tavern speech! Human Third Imperium, right?"
I Don't Want to Be a Stinky Can: "Third Imperium? Then the Second Impe... *bang* (funny)"
Blue Two-Headed Bird! Loyalty: "Good heavens, I just went to work, and you guys are doing this!!"
Lost Krieg: "Nothing else to say, Loyalty."
"Loyalty +1"
"Loyalty +1"
"If it's really not possible, just go open beta, the kids are pouting."
"Blood petition for open beta, don't keep it internal, I can't take it anymore."
"The person upstairs feels a bit off, suspected of being corrupted by Slaanesh."
"........"
The forums and chat groups exploded due to the video upload.
Players with game access all said they would try it when they went online.
They wanted to be the second Adolf, leading humanity to glory again.
The cloud Players, on the other hand, once again wrote blood petitions, demanding an open beta.
And Alex, like a scumbag, teased the pitiful spare tire cattle and horses and then ran off.
He closed the projection and continued to busy himself with war preparations.
After purging those nobles, the efficiency of various departments greatly improved.
War preparations were very fast, with various supplies, weapons, and equipment quickly in place.
Large numbers of soldiers were assembled.
They wore Tomorrow I Type exoskeleton armor.
Compared to before, when they wore carapace armor and carried lasguns, it was like a massive upgrade.
Those elite troops tested by fire wore Tomorrow II Type exoskeleton armor and were equipped with more powerful firepower.
Since Tirien Hive City did not have the technology to produce Leman Russ Tanks and Chimera transports,
to increase armored forces and enhance troop mobility,
Sage Kaska assembled many priests to modify agricultural harvesters and grain transporters as a base,
creating a Kaska Tank and a Tyreen transport vehicle.
This kind of innovation was absolutely forbidden in the former Imperium,
and could easily incur the Adeptus Mechanicus's anathema punishment.
But under the guarantee and demands of Alex, the omnissiah's envoy,
Sage Kaska and others abandoned the Adeptus Mechanicus's regulations and began to develop various new equipment.
"This behavior is a great disrespect to the omnissiah and an offense to the Adeptus Mechanicus."
Initially, upon receiving Alex's order, Sage Kaska disagreed and reacted very strongly.
When Alex brought out his identity as the omnissiah's envoy,
and forcefully demanded that all Adeptus Mechanicus members must obey,
Sage Kaska then became the most active.
He even secretly incited other priests to propose naming the new tank after him.
For this guy's contradictory actions, a Player with nothing better to do gave him the nickname "Tsundere Oil-Man with a Righteous Body."
Actually, it's not hard to understand; Kaska's heart surely wanted to reform and innovate, to prove his abilities.
But years of brainwashing by the Adeptus Mechanicus, and the many oaths he had taken, prevented him from taking the first step.
When Alex, as the omnissiah's envoy, forced him to do it,
he would then accept this compulsion with a clear conscience, breaking his previous oaths and perceptions.
After multiple rounds of testing, the Kaska Tank and Tyreen transport vehicle entered the production phase.
The factory quickly burst into production capacity, forming tank legions and equipping various legions with transport vehicles to enhance mechanization.
On the Players' side, preparations for war were also active.
After Dora Workshop completed the manufacturing of the first batch of Zagu 01 Type mechs, Little Fatty and other Players came to inspect them.
Little Fatty and his companions did not ascend to Astartes.
Instead, they all chose brain neural enhancement, intending to go the mech route.
This route is very expensive and heavily reliant on logistics.
Melee combat is also a serious weakness.
Little Fatty and others were very optimistic, believing that the mech build was the future of Warhammer OL.
The Imperium has so much black technology.
The Guide also has Star God AI in his hands.
It's highly probable that Gundam mechs will be created.
Imagine them piloting Gundams, descending onto the battlefield,
destroying enemy positions with a single shot, then leveling cities and sweeping through everything.
Not only high damage, but also cool.
While those Players who ascended to Astartes could only use swords, axes, and boltguns, trudging painstakingly on the ground.
They would definitely be green with envy.
"I suddenly thought of a question."
Brother Pian looked at the Zagu 01 Type mech in front of him, suddenly with a serious expression,
Little Fatty and others thought he had discovered some problem and all turned to look at him.
"What problem did you find?" September Ninth asked.
"You guys, what does Optimus Prime squirt out, water or oil??"
Brother Pian stroked his chin, adopting the pose of a thinker.
"Zhao Zilong gets lonely and goes to Changbanpo, but when Optimus Prime gets lonely, will he go find a ride-sharing car?"
Dora's eyes widened, Little Fatty's mouth twitched, September Ninth and others rolled their eyes.
"You damn Slaanesh Chosen?"
"No need to say more, contact the Custodes, throw him into the black dungeon."
"Still jail? Just load him onto a cargo ship and send him to a star to be burned to ashes."
"I told you to inspect, what are you thinking about?"
Brother Pian scratched his head, "Mainly, seeing the Zagu 01 Type mech made me think of Transformers, and then I remembered this classic question from a forum."
Little Fatty rolled his eyes at him. "Then why didn't we? Admit it, you're just a Slaanesh Chosen."
Brother Pian was a bit wronged, "How can you slander me like that? You know I am loyal to the Emperor."
"Just yesterday, I even assisted in anti-pornography efforts and successfully closed several websites."
"You have that skill? And that awareness?"
Little Fatty couldn't help but look at Brother Pian with new respect.
Brother Pian looked smug, "Of course, I pull up my pants and then click the website to report."
"Shameless!"
"Scum."
"I'm ashamed to be associated with you."
"........"
After some joking around,
Little Fatty and others received the previously ordered Zagu 01 Type and performed neural linkage.
After testing and confirming there were no issues,
Little Fatty paid the final balance to Dora, asking him to send the mech to the transport deck.
There were transport ships there that could air-drop the mechs onto the battlefield.
........
As war preparations neared their end, Alex began to edit an announcement at the control console.
"[Grand Counter-Offensive Announcement.
After a period of preparation, we have assembled a sufficiently powerful force.
We shall wage war against the enemy in the Emperor's name, completely annihilating all rebels.
The Warband mission system has been activated; Chapter Masters can select and accept missions.
Individual Players can receive missions from Major General Aying or other officers with mission-issuing authority.
+++ A Thought for the Day: He is our glimmer of light in the darkness, unquestionable +++"
After sending the announcement to all Players,
Alex walked into the Bridge, sat in the Captain's chair, and issued orders.
"Move to the skies above Anas Hive, have all gun crews load macro-cannons, and execute orbital bombardment immediately upon receiving a signal from ground forces."
Anas Hive is second only to Tirien Hive City in scale and was the first Hive City to be controlled by Cultists.
It is located in the northern hemisphere of the planet, backed by continuous mountain ranges, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Because the Cultists had planned for a long time and used the evil power of the Warp, they took Anas Hive very easily.
Therefore, various facilities were well preserved, possessing complete void shields and an industrial chain.
In other words, Anas Hive was the rebels' main base.
After taking Anas Hive, the rebels could basically be declared doomed.
