As long as you die, you are invincible, but in 40K

"Well... I don't really want to mention the name they gave me. Please give me a new one."

"Olivia, this is it."

Zhang Ge was tired and found a name for her that had a peaceful connotation.

At this time, Amelia beside her couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Are you talking to the Machine Spirit?"

After thinking for a moment, and remembering that Amelia hadn't reacted to Ascalon after receiving the blessing, Zhang Ge replied:

"I don't know if it's the machine spirit, but it seems like the sword has stuffed the girl's soul into this giant object, or maybe something else, and the two have become one."

"Well, remember not to show it to the people of the Mechanicus, otherwise it will cause trouble."

Sighing, Zhang Ge thought to himself, I do want to reveal it, but the problem is, if I reveal it and get burned, would it be considered seeking death?

Did not continue on this topic:

"I've always wanted to ask, is there really nothing wrong with this sword I got from the Great Demon?"

If there's even a hint of doubt in your answer, I'll give you this sword.

Zhang Ge was really afraid that this thing would cause him to do something big next time.

However, Amelia's response turned my already low mood into something more serious:

"Although the purpose of that Warp evil is unclear, there is indeed nothing wrong with this sword. Even if it is examined by living...living Terran Ecclesiarchs, the result is the same. Don't worry."

Looking at Zhang Ge's expression, Amelia thought he was worried about the Tribunal and added:

"Don't worry, Inquisitor."

Don't mention the Inquisitor. You are bringing up something else. We don't even know whether the Political Commissar and Pastor Reid have arrived at the communication station alive, let alone when the Inquisition will arrive.

Zhang Ge decided not to continue chatting and instead looked down at Dominica and Burton, who gradually became visible as the Titan moved forward.

"Olivia, let us down."

The Titan's half-kneeling posture appeared again, and anything that was blocking the path to completing this action was crushed away.

When the muzzle of the gun hit the ground again, the two men came down from above and met up with Dominica and others.

Seeing the two people's strong desire for knowledge, Zhang Ge was too lazy to explain anything and just said:

"They are friendly forces. Don't ask why. Just consider it the Emperor's blessing."

Although Burton clearly looked like he was forcing himself to swallow his doubts, Dominica nodded in agreement, as if to say, "Ah, so it turns out the Emperor just conjured a Titan out of thin air and threw it over remotely. That's indeed the most reasonable explanation. I completely believe it."

Of course, there was no possibility of being attacked on the way to the parking lot. Seeing a Titan passing by, other living creatures within a few kilometers around wished they had ten legs and could run away.

What surprised Zhang Ge was that after the four of them arrived at the parking lot, there were two more trucks there. How could the PDFs not run away?

The truck naturally belonged to the PDFs who arrived later. As soon as they broke through the holographic projection and arrived, they saw a beam of light streaking across the sky.

After recalling in silence whether the four people who entered first had brought such large weapons, the twenty or so PDFs who only had laser guns quickly regarded them as imaginary enemies and measured the gap between the two sides.

Obviously, the assessment result is that their firepower is indeed slightly weaker than that of the enemy.

Therefore, the PDFs were planning to run away, but they were just going to wait for another half an hour, and if the four people still didn't come out, they would assume that they were dead, and then run away.

If they were unfortunately attacked before that, they would have already deployed in a fan-shaped formation and would be able to escape as many as possible.

Fortunately, what happened was the best.

After discovering that the PDFs were still hiding there, Burton exchanged passwords with them, and more than 20 people came out from their hiding places and gathered again.

After Zhang Ge gave the order, everyone got into their cars. However, this time, Olivia was in charge of leading the way, so they were able to drive directly to the hive city. Any ruins that stood in Olivia's way were turned into debris.

P.S. Good news, I updated the game! To celebrate this great news, how about giving me your votes?

Chapter 37: The Titan is so beautiful, let’s look at Leman Russ in the distance

Amidst Olivia's dull footsteps, the convoy gradually approached the edge of the suburbs, and the appearance of the huge nest city gradually became clear within the visible distance of the naked eye.

But before reaching there, the sound of rolling tracks came from far away.

Although visibility was very low, Zhang Ge could not see the source of the sound quickly because of the obstruction through the weapon sight on the light armored vehicle.

That was the PDF heavy armored force coming from the direction of Acoran. They were mainly composed of Leman Russ, supplemented by some light armored units such as Chimera and Sentinel Mech.

Considering the deep integration between this planet and the Adeptus Mechanicus, it is not surprising that the hive can assemble a permanent heavy armored formation in the face of the long-term threat of the Orks. After all, Leman Russ is not a valuable thing.

Their arrival was also expected. In such a tense situation, the previous volcanic cannon that broke through the air would definitely attract the attention of the hive city.

Facing an enemy that may have heavy armored firepower, sending lightly armed airborne troops is basically a waste of time, so it is not difficult to guess why not just send the armored troops to take a look.

Zhang Ge had no hope of a conflict with this army, so he was not interested.

Of course, the people on the other side were not so relaxed.

Even through the heavy armor of the Leman Russ, the crew inside could clearly feel the vibrations growing stronger as they approached.

In their observation and aiming system, a giant object far taller than the ruins appeared. Its size was even larger than the orcs' ancient giant garbage. Every step it took could crush countless bricks and rubble. Its cold electronic eyes scanned around as if looking for its prey.

The tanks that could normally block most attacks could not bring a sense of security. Instead, it seemed as if the machine spirit itself was wailing because it was about to face such an enemy.

However, as the tingling pressure gradually reached its peak as it approached, the voice of the armored unit's commander finally came through the blessed communication.

Even with such a small-scale communication, the blessed communication array was still subject to strong interference. Only a few words of a complete sentence could actually be clearly transmitted. However, amidst the noisy din, one could still hear the commander's voice, which was even more nervous than theirs:

"So..., don't... stop...! There's someone...

After repeating it more than a dozen times, the jumbled words were finally pieced together.

"Everyone, don't aim, stop! Repeat..."

Most of the people in this unit probably don't know what it is. After all, their level of knowledge... may not have received a complete education at all, and they have never even left the hive. They probably can't even tell the difference between Chaos Space Marines without distortion and normal Space Marines.

But the commander of the headquarters is different. He is an officer of the Astra Militarum Armored Regiment who was recruited specifically to ensure the combat effectiveness of this unit. He has bathed in the glory of fighting on the same battlefield with Titans, and he also knows how powerful this kind of divine machine is.

However, the clearer you are, the more you sweat when facing the Titan.

Faced with this decisive weapon equipped with a void shield, his Leman Russ was not even qualified to scrape off the opponent's paint. To scrape the paint, he had to break the shield first. To scratch an itch, he had to cross the threshold first.

If it was an enemy, it would be fine. Even if they died, they would be loyal to the Emperor. However, the other party did not actively attack us, nor did they have any distortion or blasphemous signs. It is very likely that they were friendly forces.

If one of their subordinates shakes his hand and causes an accidental shot, their entire army will be indistinguishable from the free pollutants in the air. When they meet their old comrades under the Golden Throne, they will ask how they died.

Answer: Because one of my subordinates accidentally fired and hit our Titan who was walking over, which caused a small conflict.

That would be hilarious.

Although the sound of the tracks stopped, Olivia didn't care whether the little bugs in front of her stopped or not. She couldn't tell whether those people were enemies, friendly forces, or just passers-by.

She placed her trust in Zhang Ge, so she would not take the initiative to attack until Zhang Ge gave her new orders, but she also did not mind running over them like she did other ruins.

However, this did not happen in the end. After the two sides reached visual distance, Zhang Ge shouted to Olivia to stop.

Under the gaze of the other Leman Russ cars, Zhang Ge drove around Olivia and drove towards them.

When the vehicle was about to reach their side, the other side's commander had already gotten out of the car and walked out to the front of the car to greet him.

After Zhang Ge asked the other people in the car to wait for him inside, he opened the door and walked towards the other party.

Just as he took a look at the PDF's rank and was about to salute to say hello, the commander saluted first, as if Zhang Ge was the one with a higher rank.

However, this action was taken by the commander after a brief brainstorming session.

When the commander saw Zhang Ge's rank of captain, he was a little confused, but he didn't suspect that he was pretending to be an officer. Rather, he was wondering...wasn't the rank of captain too low?

To be honest, he was not surprised at all that there was a Titan accompanying him and that a colonel, commander of a super-heavy armored regiment, got out of the vehicle. After all, this type of Titan unit was extremely rare even among planetary-level battle armies.

Oh, wait, I get it. He must be disguising himself as a low-ranking officer to prevent being assassinated by enemy snipers or assassins. His youthful appearance is also easy to explain. It's a rejuvenation surgery.

After briefly admiring his own wisdom, the commander saluted.

This made Zhang Ge, who was planning to find an opportunity to confess that he was not an officer, unable to do so. "No, I'm just an ordinary veteran. We are not in the same command system. Why are you saluting me?"

After a strange silence, Zhang Ge still returned the greeting stiffly.

This made the commander's guess even more certain. Seeing how he was slow to return the greeting and looked so arrogant as if he didn't take him seriously, he had to believe it.

The commander took the initiative to speak:

"Sir, the 1st Company of the 4th Armored Regiment of the Akauran Hive has been dispatched to carry out... a welcoming mission. Please join us into the hive."

Of course, he couldn't say that he came here to investigate, but saying that he was a guard was obviously a bit presumptuous, so he finally changed his words to welcoming him.

Moreover, an uncorrupted Titan had become the best proof of identification, and he wisely did not mention any passwords or the enemy unit number.

The news of the collapse of the front line had already spread to the inner city of the hive. Most of the troops now were remnants who had escaped. If he was upset by mentioning these things related to the front line in public, then his future life might be a little unhappy.

Today is also a day of trying to survive, luckily I am smart enough.

The commander sighed in his heart.

P.S.: More, more, more, I will more, ...

Chapter 38 I laughed out loud

Seeing his expression, even if Zhang Ge was slow-witted, he understood that the other party had misunderstood something because of the Titan following behind him.

How can we clarify this now? All words are powerless in front of a Titan Warrior. Anything we say will be misinterpreted and misunderstood.

Zhang Ge simply didn't bother to clarify things with him. He would talk about it later. Anyway, this guy didn't look like someone who could talk much, so it shouldn't matter if he misunderstood.

"Lead the way."

Upon hearing this, the commander saluted again and trotted back to the command tank at the rear. Zhang Ge, who had not left his car for a few steps, also returned to the driver's seat.

As soon as I sat down, I heard Dominica's voice coming from the back row:

"He seems very polite. Even with so many tanks, he still saluted you first. It would be great if other hive people did the same."

Zhang Ge didn't answer, but asked Amelia with a complicated expression:

"Don't preparatory nuns have brains?"

"Ah, after all, they need to keep their minds clear and learn too much at the same time, so it's normal for them to lack common sense."

Dominica herself is confused:

"Eh?"

The vehicles began to move again, returning to the rear of the Titan. The armored vehicles naturally led the way, with the Leman Russ forming an arrowhead, while the lighter armored vehicles were scattered on both wings, including Zhang Ge's convoy.

After driving for a while, everyone left the ruins area. In front of them was a large open area surrounding the hive city. It looked a bit like the isolation zone of the church before, but it was much larger than that and could almost be classified as a plain.

The reason this place was formed was not because of the need for isolation, but because everyone from the hive gangs to the spire nobles did not mind recycling, excavating and collecting in the ruins area.

Even if we put aside possible high-value items like technological relics, it would still be cheaper to directly recycle the architectural ceramic steel from the ruins and re-melt it than to make a batch from scratch, right?

There are too many forces in the hive city, and they can completely consume every bit of value from the ruins. After countless years of development, an open area that was forcibly demolished has naturally formed.

In this uncovered and open area, although there were organized strongholds and political and military extensions of all parties, when they saw the armored troops that had just set out coming back with an unprecedented behemoth, they wisely did not send anyone to disturb the convoy.

However, just when everyone was unanimously turning a deaf ear to what was happening outside, a force that was originally turning a deaf ear to what was happening outside was stunned.

It is a Mechanicus stronghold built close to the ruins area, used as an outpost for exploring the ruins.

Initially, there were reports of volcanic cannon sightings, but the problem was that the scene was as follows:

While the mechanical priest stationed here was immersed in precise research, a reconnaissance servitor carrying the highest priority information passed through the automatic identification and the Skitarii and broke into his laboratory. The sound of opening the door caused his movements to deviate from the plan by as much as 0.0001%, thus invalidating the entire process.

However, news that reaches the highest priority is of course much more important than a mere round of experiments.

However, when the Mechanical Priest heard the information conveyed by the Mechanical Servant about "suspected sighting of volcanic cannon projectiles", he could not hold back even with his age and cultivation.

Volcanic cannon? Why don't you mention witnessing the sacred artifacts ripped from Om Messiah's body?

The largest land vehicle that has ever appeared on this planet is only a Predator-class Titan, which is deployed in the Dead Forest Festival area to protect the richest place on the planet from being invaded by orcs.

But even this Predator-class Titan had only just reached the threshold of being able to carry a volcanic cannon. What this servitor meant was that without any prior notification, the only Predator Titan on the planet came all the way here and fired a volcanic cannon?

Or did the mutants in the ruins dig out a volcanic cannon from the ruins, learn how to use it, install an energy array sufficient to power the volcanic cannon, and complete a firing?

He had heard some rumors that the remains of a Warlord-class Titan had been excavated in the ruins, but this outrageous rumor... Even if it was true, how could the Titan wreckage be repaired? Could someone just poke it and expect it to stand up on its own?

Thinking of this joke, even the Mechanical Priest, whose emotions had not fluctuated for a long time, could not help but laugh out loud, his mood fluctuating by a full 0.5%, and at the same time he ordered the execution of the problematic mechanical servant.
