Warhammer: From the Devouring C'tan Fragments

These noble lords who went out to recruit cannon fodder returned to the headquarters in the city and complained to Grand Duke Willy that no matter how hard they tried, they were unable to recruit anyone.

"Your Excellency, these untouchables are no longer easy to fool. No matter how I explain to them, they would rather return to the factory and are simply unwilling to join the resistance against the invaders."

A noble complained to Grand Duke Willy who was sitting at the top that there was more than one noble going around the city to give speeches. Basically, all the nobles who were still staying in the rear cities were giving speeches everywhere under the order of Grand Duke Willy, hoping to attract more cannon fodder to come and resist the attack of the Star Marines together.

The final result was not ideal. With so many nobles acting together, they only recruited more than 100,000 cannon fodder. For these nobles, this small amount of cannon fodder was a waste of their efforts, which was really not worth it.

"If only the psychic next to Kadir were here, we wouldn't have to go to so much trouble to recruit cannon fodder. All he needs to do is say a few words and those untouchables would obediently take up their weapons and attack the invaders."

Another noble also said with emotion that now everyone should recruit the psychic slave under Kadiel. Having such a powerful and useful slave around can save a lot of trouble.

"It's because Kadir is afraid of death. He said the direction of the city wall is the most "dangerous", so he took his troops to guard the city wall." Another noble also spoke up.

"With that psychic slave here, we'll have plenty of cannon fodder to use, and it won't be so troublesome."

"That cunning fellow, Kadir, ran the fastest, but he also died the fastest."

A noble said with a gloating tone, but there was also a hint of relief in his tone, "You and I were competing for the position of the city wall, but I didn't expect that the direction of the city wall is the most dangerous. Now Kadir is likely to have been killed."

"What you said makes sense. That cunning guy has been cunning his whole life, but he didn't expect to fall this time, and this fall will last a lifetime."

Another noble said with a grin, looking nothing like a nobleman's demeanor, but like an uneducated punk.

In the plan that everyone had first started, Bishop Zachry, Governor Dole and Grand Duke Willy all thought that the other party would directly airdrop into the city and launch an attack on the city first.

After all, the other party also said that they have superhuman-level soldiers comparable to the Astartes Space Marines. When the Astartes Space Marines in the Empire attack the enemy, they will directly descend on the most important place of the enemy to carry out decapitation operations, which can easily paralyze the enemy's command system.

So everyone thought that the invaders would do the same, so they hid their large troops in various important locations in the city to defend against the enemy's decapitation operation.

Seeing such a good opportunity, Kadier naturally expressed his willingness to go to the most "dangerous" city wall to defend against the enemy's attack. After Grand Duke Willy agreed to Kadier's suggestion, he left with his psychic slaves.

No one expected that this group of invaders would directly land outside the city and launch an attack on the city with their troops. The other side used their own powerful strength to forcibly break through the defensive forces on the city wall and attack into the city.

Everyone was caught off guard for a moment, and although the enemy's first attacking troops were small in number, their powerful strength scared everyone. Such a powerful psychic was killed by the enemy in an instant.

All this information was transmitted by Viscount Kadir using the servo skull before he was captured, making everyone's originally confident arrangements less confident.

That's why Grand Duke Willy asked these nobles to continue recruiting cannon fodder to fight against the invasion of the Star Marines together, so that his side would become stronger and could hold out until the reinforcements from the Empire arrived.

"Forget it, let these untouchables continue to stay in the factory and work for us. We also need the weapons and equipment produced in the factory to resist these invaders.

Those untouchables will never understand this truth. Whether they join the cannon fodder army or continue to work in the factory, they are working for us. This is something these damned untouchables cannot choose. "

Grand Duke Willy interrupted the discussion and continued to address the nobles, "Keep doing what we need to do. Don't even think about slacking off. Otherwise, even if we can repel these invaders, we won't be able to get away with it easily if the Ecclesiarchy holds us accountable."

"Yes, the Grand Duke is right." The nobles began to flatter Grand Duke Willy.

Everyone left the command hall and went to the side to continue remotely commanding their subordinates to attack the Star Space Marines.

For these nobles, it is safer to stay in the rear. If they are asked to go to the front line to command the troops, Grand Duke Willy is sure that these nobles will allow themselves to be shot three times in the back and commit suicide.

Grand Duke Willy himself knew very well that even if he forced those untouchables onto the battlefield, they would kneel down and surrender after seeing the invaders, which would only waste weapons and ammunition.

Those who dared to fight and struggled have died in large numbers in the civil war. Most of the people left now are numb to the future. For these numb people, it doesn't matter who rules them. If they don't resist, they can continue to live for a while, but if they resist, they will die faster.

After landing on the planet, the defense soldiers quickly drove the Apocalypse tanks towards the city. However, when they arrived in front of the city wall, they found a large hole in the wall that was blasted by the Earth Dreadnought Mecha.

"Just charge in and kill anyone holding a weapon." York shouted orders to all the defense soldiers on the communication channel.

"Yes, Captain."

Apocalypse tanks drove into the city of World No. 1 one after another. After entering the city, York also received the information transmitted by Gray that the tops of the city walls had been taken down by Gray.

There are still a large number of prisoners on the city wall waiting to be received. York ordered a squadron of more than 100 people and two Apocalypse tanks to receive the prisoners, and he led a large force to continue advancing into the city.

After entering the city, the defense forces gradually dispersed, with one group attacking a relatively important place, which were all missed by the Star Space Marines.

These are important places with various facilities, such as manufacturing plants, power plants, and drinking water plants.
