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

Zhang Ge temporarily stopped pulling the trigger and looked away.

"These things cannot be destroyed now, at least not yet."

After hearing this, Zhang Ge pondered for a moment and understood the logic.

Even if we put aside the part used by the nobles themselves, the rejuvenation potions delivered to other larger forces must have been issued in the form of orders. If the orders could not be delivered suddenly and the upper echelons were disappointed, even the status of the hive nobles would be easily torn to pieces.

Even if the hive falls, the nobles can still escape, but if they offend a bigger noble, they can only wait for the household registration book to be eliminated.

Therefore, if these potions were to disappear, the local nobles would certainly try to retrieve them at all costs, possibly even starting a civil war at this critical juncture.

Who is more hateful, Chaos or the Alien? Both are hateful, but now the Alien is dead and Chaos has just arrived. Therefore, we have to temporarily spare the lives of those nobles who cooperated with the Alien and settle the score later.

Zhang Ge nodded, retracted the plasma pistol, and said:

"Then take it and bring it back to the Ecclesiarchy. As long as there's a chance of getting these medicines back through exchange, they won't give up easily."

He didn't care anyway, as long as these potions didn't get on him. Extending his life by one or two hundred years was terrifying to think about.

Amelia nodded and placed the potions into the almost empty storage area of ​​her power armor.

Soon after this was done, the high-ranking priest arrived here with the vanguard troops.

Blazing flames, dead beasts, silent giants.

Faced with this scene that was almost out of an epic, the high-ranking priest who witnessed it with his own eyes almost cried. No, not almost. If he hadn't lost this organ long ago, he would definitely have been in tears.

They even ignored the conspicuous metal cabin next to them for a moment, and gathered directly at the Titan's feet, praising and praying.

To exaggerate a little, even if someone shot them now, they would not stand up until the recitation was finished.

Seeing this, Zhang Ge and the other man naturally had no intention of going up to talk to them, and quickly returned to the elevator on their own. At this time, the second wave of Mechanicus reinforcements also arrived.

A group of priests, Castellan robots and vanguard troops rushed out and headed straight for the Titan. Looking at their appearance, those who didn't know would think they were going to be shot because they didn't run fast enough.

At this speed, the originally crowded elevator was quickly emptied, and Zhang Ge and Amelia became the only two people still standing inside.

Soon, as the elevator started moving, the scene of the lower nest appeared in front of the two again.

Tensions.

This word can be used to describe the current situation.

A large number of Skitarii took control of the original blockade area, with heavy vehicles shuttling back and forth. The law enforcers and PDFs were disarmed and centralized for management. Now the outer Skitarii had entered into a standoff with the reinforcements brought by the nobles.

If it weren't for the threat of Chaos, a fight would have already broken out.

Seeing this situation, the two of them quickly walked towards the door, and saw the noble negotiating with a priest at the door where a large number of heavy weapons were set up.

The priest was clearly not in a good mood. He didn't even respond to the noble's long string of words. When had the noble ever suffered such an injustice? His face was equally ashen, but he could only hold his temper and continue trying to persuade the priest.

It wasn't until Zhang Ge and Amelia came out and he saw them that his expression improved a little. He quickly asked the two people who came to him:

"Is this Colonel Zhang Ge? What a pleasure to meet you. I've only heard of him before, but never met him in person. Now I see that he's quite a handsome man. However, we can introduce ourselves and exchange pleasantries later. We heard that a massive alien is wreaking havoc in the Undernest, so we dispatched reinforcements, but... you can see the situation now."

Zhang Ge shook his outstretched hand and said:

"Don't worry, the Titans have already dealt with the alien below, and the Mechanicus will be withdrawn soon."

"what?!"

Even with the expression control and restraint of an aristocrat, he showed a look of fear at this moment, but just when it was about to happen, his face changed to a look of fake surprise.

Seeing that he wanted to ask something but didn't know what excuse to give, Zhang Ge took the initiative to speak:

"We found some alien artifacts inside that thing and are now preparing to transport them to the State Church to determine if they might have caused contamination or similar."

"Haha, I see. In that case, it's perfect. Why don't we have our people escort you there?"

ps: Dangdang, the answer to guessing the pattern in the previous chapter is revealed, it is monthly ticket, recommendation ticket, reward and blade *hint**hint*.

Chapter 64: Not more than 20?

Just as Zhang Ge was about to strike up a conversation, another force appeared at the end of the road.

The pitch-black paint job, flickering torches, and classic gold and shiny decorations clearly represent a unit of battle sisters.

Leading the way was a Sacrifice flamethrower tank, followed by a Punisher main battle tank, four Rhino personnel carriers and two Suppressor infantry fighting vehicles, as well as a Heroic Battle Armor on each side of the convoy.

Zhang Ge was silent. He looked at Amelia hesitantly, not knowing whether he should ask:

Didn’t you say there were only about twenty people left?

Amelia saw Zhang Ge's gaze and gave him a reassuring nod.

I called for support when we separated at school.

Amelia's original plan was to let this convoy take the people away first if the Titans couldn't do anything and that thing broke out and couldn't be defended. But since the situation wasn't that bad, it wouldn't be a bad idea to change the destination and let them serve as a transport convoy to the State Religion Office.

Seeing this, Zhang Ge said:

"How about this: the Sisters of Battle will be the main convoy, and your men will be responsible for the outer defense?"

"No problem. Alien creations should certainly be escorted by more professional personnel."

After hearing that the rejuvenation potions were fine, the noble regained his composure. Now he had to make those who were unaware of the situation—such as the state religion and the two people in front of him—ignore the importance of the rejuvenation potions as much as possible.

These medicines certainly have no side effects. It is hard to say about other aspects, but at least for things that can directly threaten their health, the nobles will definitely not hesitate to use the most advanced means to test them. Otherwise, they would not dare to use them themselves, let alone exchange them for resources.

Moreover, the worm people don't want to corrupt them with potions. If this is discovered, it will definitely trigger crazy revenge and ruin the reputation of the worm people.

What they want is to try their best to turn themselves into an organization that is only eager for some petty profits, so that the empire will ignore their threats as much as possible, and then let their tentacles take root little by little over a span of thousands of years.

Therefore, this nobleman was not afraid of the State Religion's inspection of the potion. If he was lucky, perhaps the people of the State Religion had overlooked the importance of this thing, and he could exchange it privately for a few precious collections, which would be a big profit.

Of course, even considering the worst-case scenario, where the state religion uses this thing to threaten the nobles and their resistance completely collapses, then having the bishops ride roughshod over them is at least better than playing a household registration game or having the Mechanicus take power.

The three people standing together had different thoughts in their minds, and the noble glanced cautiously at the eyes of the other two.

My heart, which had been somewhat relieved, started to lift again:

We still can't be careless. There's not a single complicated thought in the eyes of these two people. It seems they are very cunning and we must be careful.

Priest: When will these two things without brain modifications be able to leave? I'm anxious. What if I can't pray to the Titan after he's greatly pleased?

Zhang Ge: This guy talks too much. When can he let me be four?

Without waiting too long, the convoy in the distance quickly approached. Amelia, who had just left for a while, also drove over in a light armored vehicle parked not far away. She stopped next to Zhang Ge, got out of the car, and sat in the passenger seat.

At the junction of the two armies, the combat sisters arrived. A heroic battle armor on one side ignored the priests and nobles and strode to the co-pilot side of the light armored vehicle. This heavy combat armor, which was more than three meters tall, made a muffled metallic sound with every step it took.

Judging from the golden iris emblem on her helmet, she should be a Pure Angel Sister. These elites are usually veterans, guards of important figures or champions of the order.

The voice came from the speakers of the armor:

"Officer Amelia Yating, at your disposal."

Amelia's response was equally succinct:

"Escort this car back to the Spire."

There are many churches, but the one that the Battle Sisters described most clearly is naturally their own church.

Although the number of combat nuns themselves is small, some nuns who are responsible for other tasks, plus pilgrims who spontaneously armed themselves, the combat nuns' church in the religious district of the spire still has a high safety factor.

The head of the heroic armor nodded slightly.

Under Zhang Ge's driving, the light armored vehicle joined the convoy of combat nuns that had turned around, and a large number of PDFs evacuated the outer edge of the blockade area, leaving only a small number of personnel for necessary confrontation.

Halfway through the drive, Zhang Ge suddenly remembered something and said to Amelia:

"Oh, right, have a little angel tell my soldiers at the conscription office to meet us at the church with the list after conscription."

Amelia naturally had no objection, and a little angel flew out of the car window at a fast speed.

There were no accidents along the way. Even the originally noisy Hive Gangs calmed down for the time being. Under the cover of a large number of military vehicles and law enforcement vehicles, the road that was originally crowded with people of all kinds now looked like a scene of vitality and prosperity.

Soon, the convoy arrived at the top of the tower via two elevators. Although the main body of the battle nun convoy did not change, the PDFs on the outer layer were replaced twice. Now it seemed that the elite soldiers with armor per capita were responsible for the outer defense.

After all, apart from Amelia and the others, the nobles are probably the ones who least want the convoy to be attacked. In the absence of special storage containers, who knows whether these potions will be damaged due to bumps and collisions caused by strenuous exercise, not to mention being hit by bullets.

This time, Zhang Ge and his party did not stay inside the circular fortress, but continued to pass through the spires of various luxurious buildings until they came to a religious area with a magnificent church as the main body.

Here, there are pilgrims kneeling in a row, ragged ascetics, or crusaders with swords on their backs. These religious personnel from all over the place gather together. Occasionally, you can even see a bishop leading a small group of "armed pilgrims" and busily traveling to various places.

It just so happened that when the convoy arrived here, the hour hand of the large clock on top of the church had completed a large division, and bursts of melodious bell sounds spread from the tower to all directions.

ps: Woohoo, I've been hungry for a few days. I just picked up some flowers and cakes that young couples didn't want from the trash can to eat, so the update is late.

Chapter 65: Bell Ringing

This is the core area of ​​the state religion. Due to its special nature, it is highly separated from other spire areas. In addition, through the transport ships and mobile churches in the nest, this is also one of the few spire areas that allows large numbers of civilians to enter.

Perhaps what many people in the hive city boasted about from generation to generation, that they had "bathed in the sun themselves", was gained during their pilgrimage here.

Of course, due to this particularity, most of the outer PDFs were stopped outside the religious area, and only some pro-establishment troops, middle and senior military officers, and various nobles were allowed to pass.

When the bell rang, except for the convoy of combat nuns and the accompanying escort vehicles, all other pedestrians and vehicles stopped and began to pray.

At this moment, Amelia said:

"It is said that every time the bell rings, the Emperor's gaze begins to spread from Terra to the four directions. Prayers at this time will be more easily heard. Do you want to give it a try?"

Zhang Ge raised his eyebrows and replied:

"I don't know if the Emperor is watching me, but if I close my eyes and pray now, I certainly won't be able to watch the road, and unfortunately, I happen to be driving."

However, just as he finished speaking, he found that the steering wheel in front of him suddenly could not be turned. He tried to turn it left or right with force, but it was only blocked by some mechanism. But what was even more strange was that the vehicle was still running normally and did not deviate.

What's going on? For safe driving, I should stop now, but where are the brakes on this thing?

Just as Zhang Ge was about to use voice to stop the car, Amelia's voice came:

"what happened?"

Seeing that the vehicle was still running normally, Zhang Ge decided to answer Amelia's question first. After thinking for a while, he said:

"There was a military chaplain there before. I asked her to help check the car, and after she finished, the car broke down. It might be a problem left over from that time. The steering wheel won't turn."

"Perhaps the Machine Spirit also wants to hear your wish. Why not give it a try?"

Want to hear my wish? Who am I to make the Machine Spirit so obsessed with me? I think my self-awareness is a bit too strong.

Zhang Ge thought with self-awareness.

However, such a coincidence could have been caused by the machine spirit. Perhaps it was a religious spirit, so it was angry that I didn't pray at this time? After all, she seemed quite happy when I washed her with holy water before.

Well, just pray. The Emperor is just a man anyway, there is no harm in praying to him.

So he closed his eyes, meditated for a moment, and then opened them again.

"What are you praying for?"

"Hmm... I guess I just hope everything goes well from now on."

Does hoping that he would give me a glorious death count as everything going well? Should it?

After saying that, Zhang Ge turned the steering wheel again and found that it was actually normal.

There were no other accidents along the way. After a while, the convoy slowly drove into a church area... It is called an area because this huge building with no end in sight is difficult to describe as a whole building.

Its scale is really too huge. Just one of the decorative pillars on the outside is more than 100 meters high. Even in front of a statue at the foot of this pillar, humans passing by are as small as ants. As for the aisles, the area for vehicles alone is enough for dozens of cars to run side by side.

When driving into the church, the sunlight coming in from the stained windows on both sides is dyed with various colors, and its projection on the ground forms a series of colorful poems spanning hundreds of meters. From time to time, the projections of little angels pass through these poems.

The hymns played and echoed throughout the church, the people's chanting in unison, the sound of pilgrimage vehicles carrying thousands of pilgrims, and all kinds of pious laughter or crying, all these tones resonated together under the dome.

When all this is presented before us, in such an atmosphere, it is difficult to deny the existence of a supreme god watching over this place.

During the journey, people soon noticed the convoy of combat nuns.

Although the reputation of the Sisters of Battle is slightly flawed among heretics, for these believers and loyalists to the Empire, the Sisters do not hesitate to show their virtues such as mercy, humility, and selflessness, and do not mind coming to them regardless of their own safety when they are in danger.

All of this, of course, has made their status in people's hearts infinitely higher. For some people, the status of these nuns is even higher than that of bishops.

On both sides, people began to spontaneously flock to the convoy, even for a short period of time causing the outer escort vehicles to stop moving forward to avoid crushing the oncoming crowd. However, soon, many believers in the front row spontaneously maintained order and cleared an area large enough for the entire convoy to move forward.

Of course, as for the other vehicles whose lanes were blocked outside the crowd, they could only go around on their own - although more people parked their cars on both sides and got out to join the crowd, trying to see what was happening inside.

However, even though the believers had formed a cordon of separation, the convoy had to slow down considerably due to the large number of people approaching. At the same time, a Heroic Battle Armor approached the light armored vehicle and asked Amelia:
