Of course, the vehicles in front could not force their way forward under such circumstances, so they could only stop one by one and create a vehicle barrier in the road area controlled by themselves. The infantry were then able to enter the buildings on both sides in large numbers under cover.
Zhang Ge parked the car, got out of the driver's seat with a grenade launcher in hand, approached the captain of the guards, and asked:
"what's the situation?"
He shook his head and said:
"Unclear. The object exploded on the side of the Leman Russ. Judging from the explosion pattern, it was some kind of live ammunition. However, I briefly searched both sides and couldn't find the launcher. It's most likely a rocket launcher. There should be an organized enemy force ahead."
Organized enemy forces? No problem, they'll be disorganized soon.
Zhang Ge responded:
"Left or right?"
“Right.”
He nodded, pointed to Isis who had just taken off her gas mask, and said:
"This is Isis. Gather the scattered troops and follow him to clean up the left side. The three of us will take care of the right side."
"clear."
The captain of the guard did not doubt that three people wanted to wipe out an organized enemy army. After all, in his eyes, except for Dominica's questionable combat effectiveness, the other two were basically at an extraordinary level.
Zhang Ge turned around and after giving Isis the task, he crossed the barrier and brought Dominica to Amelia, who was standing outside the barrier trying to attract enemy fire but failed.
After pointing to the closest building on the right, Zhang Ge said:
"Let's go to the middle."
Amelia nodded, put the sword back behind her, and holding another in each hand, she used the jump pack to rise up and quickly crashed into the window of the middle floor.
At this time, the left side had just started throwing smoke bombs to create a passage that could conceal the movements of personnel.
Inside the middle floor, a spacious room like a palace appeared in Zhang Ge's sight. However, there were only some evil sacrificial symbols here, and no signs of enemy positions.
It would also be very difficult to search using conventional methods. The buildings built by the nobles at the top of the tower were too huge. For the three of them, it would take a long time just to walk through each room in such a large place, even if there were no enemies.
But since he said he wanted to do this, he must have found a way before entering.
Zhang Ge turned to Amelia and asked:
"Amelia, do those little angels have built-in auspicious devices? If so, can their detection range cover both the upper and lower parts of the building from here?"
The latter nodded and replied:
"No problem, the detection results will be transmitted to the power armor."
"Okay, then we'll move in a straight line from the center of the building to the right. You'll be responsible for cutting through any walls you encounter. Go through and check each building on the right in turn until you detect the enemy's position."
There are many tactics, but I don’t understand them all. Choice is more important than effort.
P.S.: What's going on? How can I not vote? *Seriously* Do you really have to force me to kneel down and beg you? ...Now I have no choice but to beg, give me some, give me some, TvT.
Chapter 79 Is this you?
Although Zhang Ge and his team did not rely entirely on detection equipment, after all, in such a huge space, it was not only difficult to clean up in a short period of time, but it was also difficult for the defenders to arrange defenses that could cover such a large area.
Even if the enemy's warship rebelled as soon as it hit the wall, there shouldn't be enough time.
So in order to save time, the details of their advance were not as meticulous as those in normal street fighting. Fortunately, they did not encounter any danger until they reached the center of the small palace and began to advance in a straight line as planned.
In front of Amelia's sword, the ceramic steel walls used for the buildings were not much different from paper. Cuts directly cut through adjacent buildings appeared between the buildings as the three of them moved forward.
Sometimes there are gaps between buildings. In this case, Amelia will fly over and cut them open, then return and take the two of them across together.
This high-speed sweeping method quickly allowed the three of them to catch up with the attacker. As Amelia prepared to cross the next building, she said:
"Detection indicates there are objects ahead, less than 600 meters away. There are multiple objects, but there is interference. The results vary with each scan, so we can't determine the exact number."
Six hundred meters is very close. Even an automatic gun can shoot at this distance. However, considering that this scan is carried out through layered ceramic steel and is subject to subspace interference, it can be called efficient.
However, just as she was about to continue, she discovered something and said hesitantly:
"But... they don't seem to be staying where they are or moving forward. They seem to be fleeing backwards."
Fleeing backwards? Chaos Space Marines or above might be possible, but corrupted Chaos minions deserting is like saying that the Orks don't want to fight anymore.
However, the position should be changed after being attacked. What tactical purpose can be achieved by running away directly?
Unless... they were carrying some important targets that had to be kept away from the battlefield, and the reason they were caught up now was that the first line of defense collapsed too quickly, leaving no time to withdraw in advance. The destruction of the Leman Russ was originally just to deter the follow-up troops and buy time to escape.
After briefly sorting out this information in his mind, Zhang Ge replied:
"Then let's catch up."
Then, the three of them sped up their progress. The enemy was already slower than them, and after speeding up, the distance between them gradually shortened.
As the group pursued them openly, the enemy quickly figured out the situation through some kind of detection method. Perhaps they discovered that there were only three people chasing them, or they felt that they could not outrun Zhang Ge and his men, but the enemy stopped after the distance was shortened to 100 meters.
The distance between the two sides further shortened until they were only separated by the upper and lower floors. Just as Zhang Ge was about to place a thermo-melta bomb to blow out a passage, a noisy sound of gunfire came from above through the ceramic steel wall.
They had to be on guard against the enemy concentrating their fire when Amelia opened a gap, but now they probably didn't have the time to spare, so Zhang Ge gave the former a look.
A square incision was made, and the three people quickly flew up to the incision with the help of jump packs.
Above, the first thing that caught everyone's eye was a messy building that looked like it had been run over by a tank. The decorative style of this building was similar to that of a classical castle that was countless times larger. Each floor was a huge independent room with a dedicated function, and was decorated with a large number of luxurious wooden furniture.
This floor should be similar to a reception room, but a lot of furniture has been crushed into pieces or wood chips by a charge trajectory.
Turning our attention to the two parties engaged in a firefight...it has to be said that both sides were beyond Zhang Ge's expectations.
The intruder just now turned out to be a lone noble girl. The reason why she was faster than Zhang Ge and others was probably because she used psychic teleportation to travel faster, and the other party... was she her sister?
Looking at the female Chaos Commander who was also wearing a gorgeous long dress, complicated ornaments, and had a very similar face, except that she did not have the fine gold ornaments, Zhang Ge wondered.
Amelia had mentioned before that the rebel forces included some of the nobles' family soldiers. If the rebels were a branch of the noble girl's family, or even a part of the main family, then it would be understandable that she agreed to the early counterattack without hesitation.
It's more like she had intended to kill the witness as soon as possible in order to silence him, but she just didn't have a proper reason, a reasonable excuse to use when the investigation began later.
Amelia's presence at that time undoubtedly gave her this reason. As for the potential higher casualties from an earlier attack? Compared to the cost to the entire family, that price was not worth mentioning at all.
Of course, the enemy present wasn't just the commander who looked like her, there were also over twenty elite Chaos PDFs wearing carapace armor.
They were holding hell guns, and the dense firepower had melted the horse under the noble girl, forcing her to dodge everywhere. The metal spears of unknown material in their hands were waving at a high speed to intercept the hell gun rays flying from all directions at any time.
The three people's action of reaching the top was not concealed, which meant that the other two parties also noticed them at this time. At the moment when Zhang Ge was brainstorming, some Chaos PDFs had already turned their guns.
If there were more than twenty Chaos Space Marines, Zhang Ge might have to hide away for a while, but there were only twenty Chaos PDFs. Even if he brought two Astra Militarum veterans with him, he could kill them all, not to mention Amelia was present.
Realizing that there was almost no risk, Zhang Ge felt a little bored.
At the same time as Amelia turned into an afterimage that tore through the air and flew away at high speed, Zhang Ge raised his gun. His good speed allowed him to aim faster than those PDFs. The grenade launcher that had not been used since the suburbs seemed to tremble slightly until he pulled the trigger.
In a flash, bombs were fired one after another at a density so dense that it was hard to imagine that they came from the firing of only one grenade launcher. The gunshots that should have been dull now carried a hint of excitement.
A large number of explosive bombs directly tore apart more than a dozen Chaos PDFs who tried to fight back.
Although they were just mortals using grenade launchers, the bombs were extremely accurate, and every two or three of them landed at almost the same spot. The next bomb followed the gap made by the previous one in the carapace, penetrated into their profane flesh, and crushed everything in its path before suddenly exploding.
The carapace armor that should have been enough to temporarily defend against small-caliber bullets from mortals' bolters was completely ineffective, and the Chaos PDFs died in the same way as their colleagues outside.
P.S. I can't think of anything to say today, so I'll do a handstand while touching the soles of my feet with one hand and reaching out with the other hand to ask for votes. *handstand*reach out*lose balance and fall*leave with regret*come back with a rose in my mouth*ask for votes*
Chapter 80 Who surrounded whom?
Just as Zhang Ge held down the trigger tightly, intending to see how many explosive rounds could be fired from this magazine, Amelia had already rushed to the front of the Chaos Commander in the blink of an eye.
Although the commander also possessed a certain amount of psychic power, her attempt to protect herself with a full-coverage psychic shield failed. Her psychic power was far weaker than that of the previous Pope. Not to mention that there were no thousands of cultists planning to rush over this way this time, Amelia was not short of time.
When Amelia's sword came into contact with the psychic shield, it merely slowed down, but it had no intention of stopping. It forcibly broke through the psychic defense inch by inch under the other party's gaze, and then directly pierced her abdomen, breaking her spine and paralyzing her on the ground.
At this time, Zhang Ge had just finished clearing out the dozen or so Chaos PDFs that were aiming at him. Just as he was about to turn his gun around, he found that Amelia had already rushed up. In order to avoid accidental injury, he had to stop shooting temporarily.
He pulled out the magazine, and this time it was empty... The problem was, he hadn't intentionally controlled the amount of ammunition remaining, but he had fired the last bullet just when he stopped firing? Could it be that the machine spirit had secretly deducted the ammunition and hidden it in the warp?
He had no doubt that the grenade launcher could fire so many bullets. After all, it was a noble, high-quality weapon, so it was normal for it to have some special designs.
Dominica, who was in charge of providing logistical support for Zhang Ge, clearly remembered that she had put less than half of the explosive shells in the magazine that he had fired: She identified it as the Emperor's manifestation at a glance. Seeing that Zhang Ge himself didn't say anything, he must be used to it, so I better not say anything more.
By the time Zhang Ge was loading a new magazine, the dozen or so Chaos PDFs that were still alive and kicking had turned into a pile of broken limbs on the ground. The cut surfaces of their shells were so smooth that it seemed as if they had been cut in two since they were produced. A large amount of blood dyed the surrounding ground red.
As for the noble girl, she was already kneeling on the ground retching.
Most psychics have a certain degree of short-term predictive ability, and they do use it in combat, but judging by the strength of her psychic power, the fact that she used it frequently to save her life like she did just now without causing any explosions was already a testament to her diligent training and the stability of her own psychic power.
Now, her gorgeous long dress was finally stained with dust. After all, she couldn't even maintain the shape of the spear, let alone use her psychic power to take care of other things.
On Zhang Ge's side, he and Dominica fired a bullet at each corpse except the commander. Then they approached Amelia, pointed at the noble girl, and asked:
"It's not a demon costume, is it?"
Realizing that the three of them could crush their side, they staged this act in advance, and then launched a surprise attack when they let their guard down. The possibility of this happening is not very low.
Amelia first looked at the noble girl, then walked closer to her, slashed her face with her sword, and then answered Zhang Ge:
"No."
On the side, although it was unclear why Amelia wanted to spare the life of the Chaos Commander, Zhang Ge, who had dismembered her limbs for safety, turned around, walked to Amelia, and squatted down to ask the noble girl:
"Tell me, how do you explain the current situation?"
The noble girl did not answer, but she had obviously heard it. She raised her hand tremblingly and pointed at the half of the horse carcass that was left.
On top of that, there was a hanging leather pocket.
Zhang Ge then walked to his pocket again, pulled out his power sword and picked out the contents - several translucent small boxes filled with turbid white medicine. After taking them out and unscrewing the lids, the medicine inside came directly out. There was no syringe, so it should be for oral administration.
Of course, Zhang Ge did not feed this thing to the noble girl right away. He asked Amelia:
"what is this?"
Upon hearing this, the latter summoned a little angel, flew it over to the potion, scanned it, and then replied:
"Hmm...unrecorded. The ingredients include pure water, the ashes of the Pure One, extremely fine black stone particles, and her own genetic material..."
"Okay, okay, no need to continue."
After getting close to the noble girl and feeding the liquid medicine into her mouth, she finally recovered after a while. Although the price was the temporary complete exhaustion of her spiritual energy, at least now she would not suddenly turn into a pile of meat and attack others.
She said weakly:
"Kill...Kill her. She is the commander of the traitors in this defense zone."
"You don't have to tell me that. What I mean is, shouldn't you explain why she looks so much like you? It can't be a coincidence."
The noble girl was silent for a moment, then slowly raised a finger.
What does this mean? You're trying to bribe me with 10,000 throne coins? That's just enough to pay off a beggar.
"One million, throne coins, forget what happened here."
But then again, things are not so absolute.
One million throne coins. The life of a person outside is only worth one hundred throne coins. If a PDF wants to earn that much in salary alone, he has to serve for five or six thousand years. On the other hand, to support a private army of five or six thousand people, one million is enough for their annual salary. If you deduct a little, it is estimated that ten thousand people can be easily supported.
This price is more than enough for a poor man to turn himself into a factory owner. Not to mention the wealth that will come later, the extra hundreds of years of life that this status means is a fatal temptation for most people.
To be fair, considering the hush money, the fact that she offered such a high price all at once showed that at least this noble girl was not as stupid as she appeared.
Unfortunately, the person he met was Zhang Ge. What use was he having money for? Would he use it to buy his own life? He still hadn't found a place to spend the money Ernesto had given him before.
Zhang Ge gave Amelia a look, signaling her to use the memory recovery technique. The latter understood and put the cold blade of the sword against the neck of the noble girl.
"Let me repeat the question one last time. How do you explain the current situation?"
Sure enough, she spoke much more fluently this time, but when she finished explaining, Zhang Ge asked her again using what she had said, but he found that she could not repeat many of the details a second time.
Was she lying? Was she buying time?
When Zhang Ge wanted Amelia to take action, a lot of horse hoof sounds came from far away, and the noble girl under Amelia's sword was obviously relieved.
The biochemical horse riders seen before quickly poured in from the entrance. They had lost several people compared to the beginning, but it looked like there were still more than twenty of them.
Seeing the noble girl kneeling under the sword, the knights did not dare to act rashly, and the two sides confronted each other.
Although reinforcements arrived, the noble girl did not intend to bully them. Instead, she raised her previous conditions and said:
"Sister Amelia, Colonel Zhang Ge... and another nun sister, one and a half million Throne Coins. As long as you can forget what happened here, I promise not to retaliate. The cavalry and I can be brainwashed and forget all information about you."
Zhang Ge felt a little strange because her tone did not show her previous arrogance, but still seemed to be confident. He said:
