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

Therefore, even though the Chaos Space Marine had not been detected before, as soon as the sound of the grenade was heard, the sound filtering system that could filter out noise and amplify necessary sound information on the battlefield immediately transmitted the sound of the gun into the car.

However, being able to hear is one thing, and being able to catch up is another. Everything happened so fast that even Zhang Ge, who was sitting in the car, could not keep up, let alone them.

The guards had just left their seats when Zhang Ge opened the car door and got out.

As he walked towards Isis, who was thrown to the ground by the Chaos Space Marine and could not get up for a while, he pointed at the Space Marine's body on the ground and said to Dominica:

"Go deal with it again."

Then, Zhang Ge, who came in front of Isis, turned his head and wanted to see if he was still alive, so he squatted beside his helmet.

However, after opening the clasp of his visor, what appeared on his face was not pain, but a look of longing.

Zhang Ge asked doubtfully:

"You...are not hurt?"

"I'm seriously injured... But I have no regrets dying before such a powerful enemy."

To be honest, when Zhang Ge came here, he basically came with the mentality of collecting his body on the spot. Unexpectedly, it seemed that he had only suffered some fatal internal injuries.

You have to know that ordinary mortals are not qualified to be thrown out by Space Marines. Their limbs will be torn off by the inertia before they are thrown out, not to mention falling straight to the ground like this. If they have an intact corpse, they are considered to have a good physique.

Although Isis appears quite powerful, she is not yet able to withstand that kind of force. It is likely that the Chaos Space Marines are deliberately holding back.

It was fine when he didn't speak before, but as soon as he spoke, blood started to come out of his mouth.

Watching Zhang Ge take something out of his waist bag, he said incoherently with blood in his mouth:

"Thank you for bringing death to me. Take the feather from my helmet. It belongs to you now."

Without saying anything, Zhang Ge took out an emergency treatment injection, lifted his chin, aimed the needle at the neck vein exposed under the mail, and inserted it, slowly pushing the liquid into his body.

Ruptured internal organs and bleeding, normally fatal on the battlefield, were merely minor injuries to the Astra Militarum of this world.

Unless there are injuries such as being crushed by the shock wave that cannot be treated immediately, military doctors can save most people who did not die on the battlefield, not to mention those with extraordinary physical fitness like Isis.

Although there was no military doctor present, as a veteran, Zhang Ge had received basic medical training countless times. He could only hate that he was not a commoner who knew nothing.

Seeing that he didn't struggle and seemed to be waiting for death, Zhang Ge didn't care any more. He closed his helmet visor again and walked towards Dominica on the side.

At this time, Dominica was removing the fuel tank from the under-hung burner and preparing to replace it with a new one. There was no recognizable flesh on the ground, only a pile of charcoal and a set of power armor.

"Stop, stop, that's enough... Do you know which group this traitor belongs to?"

After stopping her, Zhang Ge looked at the remaining power armor on the ground. He couldn't tell it apart for a while, so he asked.

Dominica, the person being questioned, also shook her head blankly.

Only when he really observed the Space Marines' power armour up close did Zhang Ge fully understand why it was possible to mistake the loyal side for the traitorous side. It would be fine if you couldn't distinguish the Chapter logo, but couldn't you recognize those heretical symbols and the distorted appearance of the Chaos Space Marines?

But in fact, the power armor in front of him was not only not eye-catching, but was also covered with gorgeous gold and silver decorations from beginning to end. Some pink backgrounds were interspersed among these exaggerated decorations, like beautiful pink and purple phantoms that were occasionally dotted in the palace shining with golden light.

The patterns in no two areas are the same. If you look at them for a long time, you will even have the illusion that the patterns are moving. Only by carefully observing each one can you find the parts praising the evil god in the layered and magnificent epic. The overall view makes people feel that it is an extremely exquisite work of art.

Actually, this makes sense. Those "small and poor" human nobles at least knew to give their private soldiers complex family crests. As a Space Marine who believes in evil gods, you just use spray paint to spray a symbol on your body and call it a day? Who are you trying to fool?

Even if Zhang Ge knew the information about Chaos Space Marines in advance, he could only roughly tell that it came from Slaanesh. As for more detailed information, it was estimated that only fellow Space Marines or scholars specializing in this field could see it.

Without looking carefully, Zhang Ge said:

"Put the rest in the trunk, including the dust."

In the current situation where Chaos is directly invading and the Great Rift is opening, even their remaining ashes are enough to become strong pollutants. The charcoal ash, this set of power armor, and even every metal fragment must be taken away and properly disposed of. Otherwise, just leaving them in place may cause the breeding of some weak demons.

Dominica nodded. As a quasi-combat nun, she was of course aware of this and had a portable vacuum cleaner specifically designed for handling fine dust.

"clear."

It was not until this time that the guards blocked the streets and began to spread out to the buildings on both sides to establish a security zone, and the captain of the guard rushed to Zhang Ge.

He couldn't help but glance at the half-remaining power armor next to him. In the current situation, the attacker who could wear this style of power armor...his identity was self-evident.

Then look at the battle nun who is acting as a "cleaner" to clean the battlefield, and the strange-looking armored man who is getting up from the ground in a daze.

There was no need to elaborate on who was primarily responsible for the Chaos Space Marine's death. The captain of the guard couldn't help but sweat profusely when he thought about the man in front of him who was able to kill a Space Marine unscathed with his newly recovered body, and that he had argued with him before and was now derelict in his duty as a guard.

He swallowed and asked:

"Excuse me... Colonel, are we going to continue as before?"

Zhang Ge did not pursue the issue of the guards' dereliction of duty. With this amount of manpower, even if they were replaced by the Zhongsi Army, the result would be similar. Instead, he said directly:

"Everyone get back on the train. We need to speed up, at least until we reach the nearest war zone, and switch to a forced march."

The enemy will definitely realize that the attacker is dead after a long period of no reporting. By then, more than one attacker will come. However, Zhang Ge cannot deliberately make a wrong decision for such an obvious thing. He can only hope that the frequency of information exchange on the Chaos side will be higher.

I don’t believe that if I can kill one person by luck this time, I can still be lucky enough to kill him next time when a tactical team comes.

On the other side, the captain of the guards felt relieved upon hearing this, even forgetting the rules of the battlefield. He subconsciously saluted before answering:

"clear."

ps: I have to think of a way to get all the votes and subscriptions from readers. Does anyone have any idea about this?

Chapter 75: Firefight Area

When the guard captain went to convey the order, Zhang Ge also came to the front of his light armored vehicle.

He searched around the front of the car but couldn't find the hood opening. He figured it wasn't an external switch, so he said:

"Open the hood."

Sure enough, as the voice was transmitted into the car, the internal clips separated after a slight click, and the front cover automatically opened upwards, exposing the vehicle mechanisms arranged inside.

Unlike its simple and even somewhat rough appearance, this light armored vehicle hides a large number of neatly arranged exquisite modified parts beneath the surface.

The blue and red pipes, contrasting with warm and cool tones, are interspersed and connected between the various components of the relief decoration. Combined with the low-pitched mechanical roar and rhythm, even people who know nothing about cars can intuitively feel its unique impact and charm.

The originally plain and practical shell also enhances this sense of contrast, as if you are a fanatic, and the seemingly firm and rational Regent Guilliman denies the claim that the Emperor is a god in front of you, but you discover that he is secretly studying the Holy Word in his room behind your back.

However, this also brought a difficult problem - Zhang Ge couldn't even understand it, let alone Xiu?

But after coming to Dominica and taking out a bottle from her storage space, Zhang Ge quickly returned to the front of the car.

Without a moment's hesitation over the failure of mechanical repairs, the next thing that arrived on the battlefield was holy water!

Are you kidding me? Who has time to waste on repairing the car now? Leave it to the machine spirit. If it doesn't work, I'll just have to buy a new car.

Closing the hood, Zhang Ge unscrewed the cork and sprinkled the holy water in front of the car. After spreading it evenly with his palm, he returned to the driving seat.

In the back, just as Isis finished wondering if she was still on the carousel and sat back in the back seat that had lost its door, Zhang Ge said:

"Accelerate slowly and move forward."

There was a slight hum from the vehicle body and the light armored vehicle shook slightly. Just when Zhang Ge was wondering if there was going to be another problem, she slowly moved forward and resumed normal driving.

The start of the main vehicle naturally means that the convoy will continue to move forward, and the armored vehicles quickly speed up to the standard of rapid movement.

If they were ambushed at this speed and the front and rear vehicles were destroyed, the entire convoy would fall into chaos because it would not have time to slow down and dodge. Moreover, it was night time and the situation would be even more serious.

But in this situation, we can't care about those things.

Fortunately, the number of enemies that infiltrated the rear was still small, and no other attacks occurred during the rest of the journey. The convoy quickly approached the war zone and, led by a servo skull flying from afar, arrived outside the forward command post located underground in a vast woodland park.

Since we have arrived in the war zone, the sound of explosions seems to be very close. The shells whistling past overhead from time to time create tremendous mental pressure every moment, as if the next explosion will sound beside us at the next moment.

Although this place has not been bombarded yet, from the old craters seen everywhere when passing by, it is obvious that it is not that the enemy does not want to do it, but that they have been suppressed by their own artillery in the clash of heavy weapons. Now they can only selectively attack more vulnerable targets and give up on breaking through important facilities that are important but too solid.

This is bad...good news, which means that Zhang Ge and his team will most likely be covered by heavy firepower when crossing the war zone.

Soon, under the guidance of the PDFs here, the convoy stopped in the parking lot under the camouflage nets in the dense forest. Zhang Ge left Isis in the car, and he and Dominica got out of the car to undergo further identity verification and walked towards the forward command post.

After walking through the dense forest, we came to the edge of a sparkling lake. There was a small arch-shaped passage here, which seemed to point directly to the bottom of the lake, but there was no partition on the edge to block the lake water. It should have been pushed out by a repulsive field generator. It must be said that it really saves a lot of effort compared to earth excavation.

The leading officer led the two men into this narrow underwater passage. At the deepest point in the center of the lake bottom, there was a gate surrounded by a circle of ceramic steel reinforced in the mud.

After the officer underwent multiple identity authentications including biometric information, the gate slowly opened, and several bottomless ladders appeared around the vertical downward ceramic steel passage.

Climbing the ladder down, we found ourselves inside the command post. Guards in armored uniforms were guarding key positions. A large number of middle and senior military officers were busy coming and going, and orders were being passed out from here in paper form.

After arriving here, Zhang Ge said to the officer in front:

"Is Officer Amelia Yating here?"

"follow me."

Compared to looking for a commander they have never met, it is obviously much more efficient to negotiate with them through Amelia.

Inside the command post, several people turned several corners, and a room with a cross above the door appeared in front of them.

After entering the door, Zhang Ge discovered that Amelia was not the only one there. Other combat nuns including Sister Heloise were also here. Their number had not decreased for the time being, but they were obviously extremely tired.

Seeing Zhang Ge coming here, Amelia, who was standing at a long table in the middle of the room, did not show any surprise. Instead, she naturally made way for him. When he came to her side, she pointed to a red-framed area on the parchment map in front of her:

"This is the enemy's defense zone ahead of our position. Over 40,000 corrupted individuals are deployed here, the majority of whom are corrupted civilians, such as servants and domestic slaves. About a quarter of them are capable of actual combat, primarily cultists and the private soldiers of rebellious nobles."

There are over 30,000 servants around here. Just getting out of bed and putting on slippers every day requires 40 to 50 people, right? Judging by this density, the entire spire's domestic staff probably numbered in the millions.

"Very useful information. Now, suppose we need to get a convoy of over a hundred people through this defense zone. What suggestions do you have?"

"What if?"

"Well...actually, it's not entirely hypothetical."

"Are you one of them?"

"...You could say that."

Hearing this answer, Sister Heloise, who had been looking at other locations on the map, couldn't help but look over here.

There are more than a hundred people, too few to form a battle-level combat capability, but too many to hide themselves. There are very few tasks that require this scale of manpower to execute.

But just like before, unless Zhang Ge made an obvious low-level mistake, Amelia would not question his decision. After thinking for a moment, she said:

"We don't know their defensive weaknesses, so if we want to get through a force this size, we'll have to force a breach. And there's no guarantee the convoy's safety once it's behind the breach... Well, if the counterattack plan is advanced, perhaps it can be done. Come on, I'll take you to see the noble in charge."

ps: What a coincidence, how come you are also celebrating Monday today? Since it is such a coincidence, can you let me be your only one?

Chapter 76: Early Counterattack

Dominica was left here with the other nuns to prepare, while Zhang Ge and Amelia went through various passages and finally arrived at the command room.

Before entering the door, I heard a female voice with a hint of disdain outside the door saying:

"Huh? The attack failed... You can't even complete a mission like this. What's the point of my father raising you? You're such a scumbag. Come on, kill him. Don't kill him here, idiot. I don't want to see blood."

After entering the door, several senior military officers and a young girl appeared in front of him. She was wearing a gorgeous long dress that was inconsistent with the underground environment. She was surrounded by seven or eight fully armed servants. A PDF major with a deathly pale face was being dragged outside.

After noticing the two men's arrival, the girl turned to face the front. Her face was naturally extremely beautiful, but whether it was the exaggerated long dress, the jewelry she wore on other parts of her body, or herself, they were all overshadowed by the pendant hanging around her neck in an instant.

It was a hexagonal sheet, only half the size of a fingernail, so thin that the sides were barely visible, yet it emitted a faint golden glow, making it difficult to look away.

Unique and unmistakable, even those who have only heard of this material on paper can recognize it at a glance:

Shining gold.

It is the primary material of the armour worn by the Emperor's Guards.

There is no need for any other unnecessary elaboration, just this short sentence is enough to illustrate the status and expensiveness of Yaojin.

Even if it is just such a small piece, even if we put aside the difficulty of obtaining it, the price alone is unimaginable - even for ordinary hive nobles.

It seems the family behind her is one of the beneficiaries of the rejuvenation potion trade? No wonder she's so confident.

When she saw Amelia, the girl ran over, holding up the hem of her long skirt, and said in surprise:

"Sister Amelia? I was just about to come find you after I finish dealing with things here. If you need anything, just call me over."

There is no trace of the harsh look just now. It seems that the fist is still bigger than the background... That's not right. There are many people above her, but in a sense, there is no one above Amelia now.

However, despite that attitude towards Amelia, she never even looked at Zhang Ge, as if he didn't exist.

On Amelia's side, seeing that the other party didn't seem to stop and seemed to be about to hug her, she had to stretch out a hand to support the other party's shoulder to stop him from getting closer, and then she said:
