Warhammer 40 Spring: Loyalty of the Multiverse

Chapter 28 Reaction
At the Shattered Dome base in Hong Kong, Cai Tiantong's face turned pale, and his expression was filled with disbelief. "Sir, you'd better come and see for yourself."

Stark Panticost, who was standing to the side directing communications officers to negotiate and contact with dignitaries and leaders from various countries, turned his head upon hearing this. After seeing his unusual expression, he quickly walked over to him and bent down to look at him.

"A nuclear explosion occurred in the center of the capital city of Japan, with an energy fluctuation equivalent to 6000 tons of TNT." If Quan Tiehua were here, he would definitely be unable to resist adding that.

"If it weren't for the fact that we can't run fast, we would just ignite all the fuel and the engine and make the entire city center disappear from the map."

Stark Penticost listened to Cai Tiantong's words and explanations, and looked at the various messages flying around on the internet. His expression grew increasingly grave. "Make Storm Crimson move faster. If possible, get them to provide support on the spot."

As he spoke, he turned around, panting heavily for some reason, and asked, "How are the demon and the armored man doing now?"

Since the appearance of the seraphim and the demon Papatir, they were given simple and common names in just over ten seconds.

They are a demon and an armored man.

“According to satellite data, the demon was at the very center of the nuclear explosion. And in the 15 seconds before the explosion, the group of armored men fled in straight lines in all directions. Until they entered the building complex… Oh my god, what the hell!” Cai Tiantong exclaimed suddenly, leaning back and raising his hands. “Their running speed even reached nearly 60 kilometers per hour.”

Upon hearing this, Stark Penticost, who was taking his medication, trembled violently as he tried to put the pill in his mouth, but he still forced himself to swallow it.

"The first armored men to run were about 700 meters from the epicenter of the nuclear explosion. After entering the complex, most of them ran towards places with cold storage warehouses to avoid the blast. Those who ran last only managed to run about 200 meters. Their current situation is unknown."

"All personnel at the base are on high alert! All pilots, prepare for immediate combat."

……

China – Kyoto.

Inside a brightly lit, simple, and solemn room, several elderly men dressed in Zhongshan suits stared intently at the nuclear explosion site, which was being broadcast live via satellite.

"Once Crimson Storm arrives at the battlefield, contact the three Wei brothers."

"Yes!"

……

America, the Black Palace.

"Crimson Storm will arrive at the scene in half an hour, and our air force is expected to arrive in five minutes."

"The Crimson Storm is a mech produced in China. Moreover, China is one of the permanent members of the UN Security Council, so its influence is considerable. Tell them that they can launch an attack on the Crimson Storm if necessary."

……

At this moment, above Edo!
Several C-130 and C-21 transport planes, carrying personnel, began to fly rapidly toward the target location.

Following behind, a dozen or so UH-1 helicopters formed a formation and began to advance from the base toward the target location.

But the shockwave from the nuclear explosion came suddenly. Although they were more than 40 kilometers away in the air, the danger to them was negligible, yet they still felt some impact.

"Repeat! Orders received. All personnel, take note. A nuclear explosion has occurred at the target location, with an explosive yield equivalent to 6000 tons of TNT. All personnel shall begin parachuting from within a 20-kilometer radius of the target location and proceed to surround the target location. Caution! Any suspicious personnel or those attacking our forces within the surrounded area may be shot on sight. If a single target is discovered, attempt to apprehend them immediately. If apprehension proves too difficult, they may be shot on sight. Gentlemen, please prepare your nuclear protective gear. Good luck."

In an instant, the voices of all the pilots in the aircraft cabins rang out, leaving the soldiers who were eating, drinking, and having fun somewhat at a loss.

Meanwhile, during the cabinet meeting, all the members of parliament who had taken refuge in the bunker looked tense.

Meanwhile, some people's faces were contorted with rage. After all, they knew that history all too well; they had already suffered two nuclear bombings, and now, in their hands, it was about to happen again. This was a disgrace to the entire empire.

"Hengda Air Force Base in Amelica has begun operations, with takeoffs scheduled for five minutes. They are expected to arrive at a location 20 kilometers from the target point and parachute out."

"Notify the Self-Defense Forces. If you encounter these Amelika soldiers, do not resist. Let them in..."

In an instant, all the members of parliament looked at the prime minister with a puzzled expression.

"The magnetic field after a nuclear explosion is extremely chaotic. I don't believe their communications will still be effective once they penetrate deeper. Tell our Imperial warriors to wait until the American soldiers have entered the restricted area before making their move, creating the illusion that it is those armored men who are attacking."

"Hi."

……

clang-

The steel gate, its exterior glowing red-hot from the heat, slammed onto the ground, sending up a cloud of carbon ash.

Quan Tiehua stood still and turned to look at the dilapidated scene around him. For a moment, all around was silent; even his breathing, despite wearing terracotta armor and a helmet, was clearly audible.

Looking at the radiation levels displayed on the helmet's internal system, Quan Tiehua merely raised an eyebrow before striding out without hesitation.

He had already turned off the power boots. Now that they were back on Earth, turning them back on in this gravity environment would be a huge waste of energy.

He reached into his waistband and pulled out the explosive pistol, then began searching for his brothers nearby.

To be honest, he was a little worried about the captain and Gers. First of all, he didn't know what kind of world this was.

If it's someone he knows well, then it's fine. But if he's just simply coming back, then that's probably not so good.

So the most urgent thing right now is to gather all the brothers together and explain the situation to them.

After all, while Astartes is powerful, it's no longer affected by the stacking of subspace buffs. In a purely physical world, being hit by a single rocket would be enough to send you sprawling, though not necessarily fatal.

But being captured alive is a certainty.

And now that such a big commotion has occurred, the eyes of the whole world are probably on this place.

If possible, after finding your brothers, it would be best to evacuate towards China.

After all, their complete industrial capabilities are truly impressive.

We can exchange their existing technology for some of the supplies they need. We can pursue a mutually beneficial and win-win cooperative path.

In that case, the gains from this trip around the world are likely to be maximized.

And to be honest, after all these years, he's wanted to go back and see it. Maybe this isn't the world he's been longing for.
