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

Chapter 98: Confident in Winning a Thousand Miles Away

Seeing that Zhang Ge was unharmed and could even get out of the car by himself, the depressing atmosphere in the convoy gradually rose until it finally reached its peak.

Survived and repelled the decapitation attack of a Chaos Space Marine of obvious rank.

Even if it relied on the power of the guards, it could be called a miracle for a mortal officer.

After all, how would the soldiers know why Amelia is working for you?

They would only guess based on simple impressions and infer that Zhang Ge > Amelia based on what the latter heard from Zhang Ge.

This will naturally form a closed loop.

Why did the psychic car seem to be blocked at the beginning? Because Zhang Ge was sitting in the car and blocking the way.

And why were only Amelia and the Sister involved in the subsequent fight? Of course, it was because even if they were alone, they could repel the enemy. Zhang Ge saw through this outcome at a glance and didn't want to take action himself.

If that's the case, then the reason why the opponent chose to retreat even though he was not at a disadvantage when fighting one against two is very obvious. This is because he knew that even if he defeated the two nuns, he would not be able to do anything to Zhang Ge while he was injured.

reasonable.

The Space Marine defeated two enemies at once and escaped unscathed, but it was a disastrous defeat.

The commander of one of our own troops was beheaded in the midst of thousands of troops and did not even leave the house. He was confident that he would win the battle.

Now Zhang Ge is the "statue" that carries everyone's hopes.

As long as the victory is not embarrassing, your subordinates will not mind helping you fill in some imperfect details in your imagination.

What's more, the win was not ugly.

Surviving this level of targeted assassination was already extremely valuable. Even looking across the entire Imperium, how many people could dare to say they could face the decapitation of a Space Marine Captain, a Terminator, and a Psyker? This was already better than 99% of people.

Of course, this is also due to the fact that Zhang Ge is one of their own. To them, although Amelia is also on the friendly camp, she is an "outsider" on the side of the state religion after all.

The driver who was staring at the observation instrument was relieved and announced to the people in the car that Zhang Ge was unharmed. The tense atmosphere suddenly relaxed and turned into a tsunami of joy.

Since the collapse of the front line, there have been too many reports of defeats, as if the combination of the words Chaos and Space Marines means they are invincible, and that they are about to be slaughtered.

But now, just as if they had personally participated in the turning point of the battle's victory, they also witnessed the embarrassing retreat of the "Fallen Angel" that symbolized invincibility.

The environment was relatively safe at the moment. Some people even stuck their heads out of the vehicle's doors and windows on both sides, wanting to witness the moment Zhang Ge stood up and the miracle of these two fists that shattered the invincible invasion of chaos.

He even had time to care about the front line and the dead soldiers first.

If they had not strictly abided by military rules and regulations even in this situation, cheers would have filled the entire block long ago.

However, unlike the joy in the venue, Zhang Ge almost fainted after saying that.

Ever since the Chaos Captain decided to retreat, more than one heart was broken on the field.

He watched helplessly as the company commander tried several times to ignore Amelia and rush over to chop him down, but was stopped every time.

Until I finally landed on the ground, the first thing that came to my mind was to chase him. It was only after a while that I realized what was happening that I changed my mind.

But when he came to his senses and thought about what his changed words meant, Zhang Ge regretted it again.

Damn it, I didn’t say what I should have said, but said everything I shouldn’t have said.

Seeing this situation, he could only immediately follow up with the second command:

"Everyone, keep pushing forward. Once we've killed them all, we can gather around the fire and celebrate after burning their bodies."

Even the military can't avoid gossip. If they are not allowed to find something to do, the rumor after the war will probably spread that he single-handedly cut off the heads of four company commanders.

When the order was passed down, Zhang Ge said to Amelia with concern:

"How's the wound?"

Seeing that she was stabbed, she must be seriously injured. In this case, it is reasonable to send her to the rear to recuperate, right?

Amelia heard this question, touched the blocked gap, and replied:

"Hmm... a little weird, but nothing serious."

This was not a show of bravery. In a battlefield where her life could be in danger at any time, she was not stupid enough to deceive her comrades with false information. She really felt that the sword did not affect her movements except for the pain.

"No effect? ​​...Unbelievable."

Zhang Ge couldn't help but complain. The sword looked almost as long as an ordinary person. If a smaller person were to be hit by it, the sword would probably cut off half of their waist.

Unexpectedly, Amelia nodded in agreement and said:

"Well, that makes sense. The impact might be subtle," she said, turning to Sister Heloise, who had landed a little later. Seeing this, Sister Heloise came over and continued with the second half of her sentence. "Sister Heloise, could you please come with us? I'm a little uncertain about my condition."

When Zhang Ge heard this, his already tense mood became even worse.

No, I don’t mean to disbelieve you. How about I take back what I said before?

Or maybe the Sister should put on some airs or something. How can a mere old soldier like me withstand your protection?

However, besides Amelia, the person who least wanted Zhang Ge to die was probably Heloise in front of him.

Thousands of sisters died, fronts collapsed, Chaos warships felled.

This series of events happened one after another, making the destruction of the hive almost imminent. The Order of the Heart of Courage itself felt even more guilty about the incident in the Age of Apostasy, and had a considerable tendency to self-destruct. The pressure of the billions of lives that were about to be destroyed was piled on its head.

If it weren't for her duty, she would have stuffed herself into the atonement engine long ago.

And now there is a turn of events and hope of victory.

In terms of happiness, she may be the purest, simply happy that countless people in the hive city have hope of being spared from disaster.

But after all, the nun, who usually did nothing but asceticism and self-flagellation, had little social experience. When she wanted to express her excitement, she only responded coldly:

"Yeah, no problem."

So, after the noble girl was taken away because she fainted, Dominica sat on Isis and Heloise on her left and right respectively.

When the battered light armored vehicle started moving again with the convoy, Dominica, who was originally quite lively, even her eyelashes looked uneasy.

ps: My financial report was a great success this month. As long as I can hold on for the remaining fifteen days, I can save every steamed bun I can eat after receiving my royalties.

Chapter 99: Use Aerial Assault on Chaos

After the Chaos Captain was repelled, it seemed that the resistance in this area was weakened a lot.

This was certainly not an illusion, but he had basically decided to abandon this area, so he transferred the backbone forces away and only left a small number of cannon fodder to cover the rear.

The occasional demons that had appeared before were nowhere to be seen. Only the rebellious civilians who remained in their positions were trying to make a final struggle, using automatic guns, laser guns or their fists to try to stop the tracks of the Leman Russ.

They did not show any intention of retreating even though they were in a desperate situation. Instead, they became even more crazy.

However, madness alone cannot stop the iron fist of the armored forces.

They were already unable to withstand the offensive, and now their forces were reduced. In addition, the morale of the 1st Mechanized Infantry Regiment was high. As a result of this, the armored forces broke through the enemy's last line of defense layer by layer like a hot knife through butter.

Soon after, the leading vehicle could see the target wide road ahead.

This place is the enemy's logistical artery. Once it is cut off, it means that the entire offensive line will basically lose its supply capability. It should be strictly defended, but now there is only sporadic resistance in the enemy's temporary bunkers.

After all, the people who were supposed to defend it have now become minced meat in the crater.

Although the lasers that flew out from various covers and occasionally brushed against the armor seemed almost pitiful, the offensive did not show any consideration for their intentions.

Suddenly, a sharp whistling sound came from far away.

Above the convoy, rockets screamed through the air and almost brushed past the tops of the buildings.

After falling in a parabolic trajectory, they entered the shelter of the building and disappeared from everyone's sight.

However, as the convoy continued to move forward and was about to come onto the road, they once again demonstrated their presence in an even stronger way.

Countless rockets fell to the ground, landing on top of the Chaos logistics base, which was only one block away.

The explosions were so dense that it seemed as if there was only one continuous sound, but that was just an illusion caused by the roaring of the uninterrupted sound waves passing through the eardrums.

The warheads loaded with sufficient explosives touched the stacked makeshift buildings with reckless abandon.

If you are in it, it is not difficult to feel the layers and passion between countless explosions, and you can also experience the creative process of countless shrapnel from different directions shattering yourself into abstract works of art.

Immediately following the explosion were fighter planes flying overhead.

Due to the rapid advance of the ground forces, the Chaos air defense network here has been completely shattered, and according to the predetermined plan, the aircraft groups that have returned to the battlefield after resupplying arrived here as planned.

Now, even if it is not a dedicated ground support aircraft, it can still bully those ground targets at will.

Although they are just some aircraft-mounted under-slung weapons and their power is not as good as that of the launch vehicles, on the other hand, as the attacking side, how solid a base can the Chaos side build in just a few hours? Even the local PDF can only dig underground first.

The makeshift steel sheets and body parts were easily torn into pieces by the shock wave. The earth and sand shelters that were collected with great difficulty were useless against the attack from the top, and only became a background wall for smearing eye-catching blood stains.

Even if you hide in a building, or survive by sheer luck, you still have to face the second wave of attacks that will follow - the fighter planes are not flying so close just for fun.

Inside the cockpit door that had been opened in advance, straps were tied up with the piles of bombs. When the plane was about to fly over the logistics base, the buckles that were originally fastened tightly were released as the pilots pressed the buttons.

The group of aircraft that were originally flying level simultaneously turned towards the sky above, forming a straight angle perpendicular to the ground, and countless bombs were scattered downwards from the rear.

Under the cover of night, the featureless bombs were not noticeable, but soon the enemies within their landing range no longer had to care about this.

With the Valkyrie's carrying capacity, it can easily carry dozens of 500kg bombs.

In front of these unassuming little black dots, most artillery pieces can only be laughed at as small steel needles. In ancient times, a certain 800mm artillery piece with an ancient character at the beginning had a high-explosive charge of only 500kg.

Faced with the baptism of hundreds of such shells, even the most rigorously constructed bunkers are at risk of being forcibly destroyed, let alone these makeshift structures that cannot even withstand rockets?

Explosions far more powerful and brighter than those from rockets spread out again and again. Even though the convoy was a whole block away, it could still feel the blast spreading outwards.

The open space where a large base originally stood has returned to its original appearance, so clean that it seems as if nothing has ever been there.

But this is just the beginning.

Facing the rising black mushroom cloud, the Arc'teryx fighter directly plunged into the fireball that had ignited all combustible materials.

After slowing down and entering a hovering position under short-range reverse thrust, more than twenty Raiders jumped out from a dozen Arc'teryxes in the thick fog that enveloped everything.

The highly modified raiders rode their warhorses, which also had little flesh left on them, and jumped directly out of the cabin, crashing into the surrounding buildings and landing on the glass dust.

The crisp clatter of metal hooves rang out rapidly, and the tall and strong warhorses, accompanied by flamethrowers in the hands of the raiders with a range that could easily cover hundreds of meters, quickly passed through any room with signs of life.

Except for a small number of blessed ones, most of the enemies in the room close to the open area were already dizzy and not dead. It was not until the flames wrapped around their bodies brought extremely painful sensory stimulation that they came to their senses before dying.

At this time, on the other side of the ground, the leading armored troops had just rolled over the bunkers on the avenue and arrived at the intersection.

When Zhang Ge arrived at the intersection, he looked at the scene in the smoke that had not yet dissipated, and even began to hesitate whether to reduce the number of troops sent to fight together with the airborne assault troops.

After thinking for a while, he still did not make any changes to the plan.

A branch had split off from the stream of traffic that continued to roll forward, but the main force continued to advance after crossing the avenue - they decided to break through the Chaos attack line from the side.

ps: Hehehe, there are still a few hours left, wait for me to release the second update, don’t underestimate the bond between me and the keyboard!

Chapter 100: Light, Heat, and the Hive Thief

In the distance, a ball of light suddenly rose from the ground.

Brighter than a star.

Its center is incandescent, and a dark blue outer ring can be vaguely seen at the edge.

It expanded rapidly, and even if only half of it rose above the ground, its height would soon exceed the top of the building.

At this height, its lower half should have burned through the isolation wall.

The night that enveloped the hive city was dispelled by the light scattered by it, and the shadows of people and buildings became long and narrow.

The brightness in the center quickly reached a level that made it impossible to look directly at it.

And this bright light concealed many things - such as the car lights that began to flicker under the strong electromagnetic pulse... It directly destroyed most civilian electronic equipment, and even military equipment was strongly interfered with.

"It's in the direction of the Void Shield."

Amelia's words confirmed everyone's guess.

Although the light and heat dispelled the darkness that had hindered the battle, making the surrounding environment brighter than during the day, no one except Zhang Ge was happy about it.

Because it means those Chaos Space Marines succeeded.

Although it looks like the people on the control system should have directly activated the self-destruction, detonating the huge energy array originally used to supply the void shield, and took away a wave of enemy elites before they were destroyed by the enemy.
