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

But this also means that the destruction of the Void Shield has become a fait accompli.

Return your gaze to the direction of the ball of light.

It was not as violent as an explosion, and compared to its scale, the sound it caused could almost be described as imperceptible.

There was neither sound nor shock wave. It just quietly expanded to a certain size and then stabilized, as if it was restraining itself.

However, if you focus your attention on the intersection of the regular spheres, you will find that it is not obstructed by anything.

Beneath its calm appearance lies an extremely high temperature of tens of millions of degrees Celsius. Anything swallowed up in it will be turned into plasma in an instant.

Whether it is a towering ceramic steel building or just a foraging ant, there is no difference in front of it.

This is a sun rising from the ground.

If it could be maintained for long, the heated air would soon turn the entire nest into a boiling pot. However, compared with the real stars hanging high in the sky, the energy to keep it running is still too small.

Zhang Ge lowered his head and glanced at the time displayed on the dashboard. He felt as if the air around him had been heated up, and said:

"At least there's one good news: we'll be able to fight in daylight for the next ten minutes or so."

Facing the plasma ball that swallowed up hundreds of thousands of lives, Zhang Ge made a somewhat inappropriate joke, but also expressed a fact:

No matter how many lives it caused, what they should do is not to stand there in silence, but to make the best use of every bit of time gained.

It's impossible that all the Chaos Space Marines were killed in it, and they will be the next ones to face it.

When everyone came to their senses, Zhang Ge opened the communication between the car and various departments again.

Although he didn't have much hope, he still gave it a try.

Now... there is more good news: those evil sounds in the warp should have temporarily disappeared because a large number of demons, sacrifices and magic circles were swallowed up by the ball of light.

But there was also bad news. In the current strong electromagnetic interference environment, the words he spoke sounded harsh and a little distorted.

But it's better than nothing, so just use it.

After organizing his words for a while, Zhang Ge only said one sentence.

Although this sentence needed to be repeated several times in the distortion to ensure that each wording was complete, in the end, his command filled with electrical noise was passed on:

"Everyone... the sun has risen... but we will still crush them in the sunrise... now... keep going."

The first to respond to this order were the fighter planes in the sky.

Of course, the strong electromagnetic field will not only interfere with the hive city. Even the sturdy and durable conventional electronic systems are severely interfered with, not to mention the more sophisticated and more fragile air defense radars?

When both sides become blind, the fighter jets can rely on their own maneuverability and precision optical sights to carry out ground attacks. They also have the advantage of hitting low targets from high angles. Coupled with their generally thick armor, they are tantamount to an aerial firepower bunker that can fly with the army.

A large number of fighter planes that had originally intended to fly away for supplies returned, slowly hovering in the air, their multi-barreled laser cannons rapidly sweeping through the windows, either directly melting the heads or severing the waists of the ecstatic cultists.

Then, as confirmation of the orders received came back one by one through the communication, the 1st Mechanized Infantry Regiment, bathed in this special sunrise, began to advance again.

The remaining Chaos defenses did not strengthen simply because the Void Shield was destroyed.

On the contrary, the large number of elite soldiers and ritual items that were swallowed up in a short period of time weakened the erosion of the subspace for a while, and even allowed communications to be temporarily restored, which increased the information exchange efficiency of the 1st Mechanized Infantry Regiment by countless times.

The cultists hiding in the sewers were either directly hit by a cannonball or pulled out by the infantry in the buildings on both sides. Any enemies that blocked the path became sacrificial victims under the sunrise.

Since this attack broke through one side and attacked the back of the defense line on the other side, the progress was much faster than a frontal breakthrough.

Although the huge ball of light gradually faded after lasting for about ten minutes and eventually disappeared, it only left a huge hole that even went straight through to the upper nest, and countless ceramic steel liquids that were melted into red liquid by the heat.

But the progress made in this short period of time has allowed Zhang Ge to clearly hear the sound of gunfire coming from the front line of the friendly forces' attack. As long as he takes this last small step and reunites with the friendly forces, the remaining enemy "arrowhead" forces will be completely surrounded.

Well... since victory here is so close, even if a pig were to command, we could win, then there is no need for him to continue sitting here and commanding.

Zhang Ge was going to do something he had always wanted to do since he woke up from his coma.

Because the troops had advanced deep into the enemy's defense line, they could see with their naked eyes the Chaos frigate that was slanted in the middle of the building complex in the distance.

If the Chaos Space Marine Captain can steal the home, why can't I, Zhang Ge, steal it?

Given the current state of disorder in the enemy's air defense network, it is entirely possible to airdrop directly over, and there are sufficient reasons for this. There are probably quite a few surviving Chaos Space Marines, and even if we can win in the end, letting them go will cause great damage.

We must find a way to contain or weaken them to a certain extent.

Well, now that the enemy's elite have suffered heavy losses and their air defenses are basically paralyzed, is there a better time than now to address the source of this large-scale subspace infection?

ps: I barely managed to catch up with the second update. I’m so awesome.

Chapter 101: Ship, Ship, Ship

Zhang Ge told others about his plan to go inside the warship, and only Sister Heloise expressed her objection.

She felt it was too dangerous to go in now and thought that at least most of the enemies on the periphery should be cleared out first. Otherwise, once she entered, it would be difficult to withdraw once the enemy's air defense network was restored.

As a commander, you shouldn't take this risk. If you must go, you can send someone else.

This was indeed true - although this was what Zhang Ge wanted - but Zhang Ge refuted it on the grounds that there was not enough time.

By the time the battle is won, the enemy will have already recovered. By then, there will be Chaos Space Marines and a large number of demons inside, plus various automatic... and now probably magical weapon platforms on board, it will be difficult for the Hive City to rush in again.

In the relatively narrow terrain of a battleship, numerical superiority and heavy armor clusters cannot be deployed. If the tactics of adding fuel like Calabash Brothers saving his grandfather are used, one enemy Space Marine can guard a corridor forever.

As for whether to command or not, strategically speaking, Zhang Ge should not go. After all, his combat power is compared to Amelia... It can't be said to be a timely help, but at least it can be said to be superfluous.

However, the problem is that in the Empire, commanding and personally participating in the most dangerous battles is absolutely legitimate - it was the Emperor who personally rushed onto the Vengeful Spirit and killed Horus. No matter how powerful your commander is, can you be greater than the Emperor?

The history handed down would not record that after Puff Horus defeated Sanguinius in an instant, he fought with the Emperor for three hundred rounds. Otherwise, it would be a bit of a disconnect to praise the Emperor as a god while letting people see that the old man had difficulty even beating up his own son.

More detailed books would describe the engagement as Sanguinius engaging Horus in a fierce battle amidst a vast enemy force, only to be defeated by the despicable tactics of the Four Gods.

Then the Emperor himself arrived. Ichiban Gōngmǎ was making a great speech while crushing Horus and a large number of enemies at the same time, but the Four Gods were unsportsmanlike and launched a sneak attack, which caused the Emperor to sit for a long time.

Those that are written less responsibly are simply passed over.

Generally speaking, unless one is an eyewitness, the Imperial people believe that Horus's strength is on par with that of an ordinary Primarch. Regardless of which faction they belong to, historical records show that the Emperor cannot be compared with a traitorous puppet of the Four Gods.

This naturally leads to the next question: Why didn't the Emperor just wait for reinforcements to arrive before sending two Primarchs to Horus?

That is of course because as the Emperor and the commander of all mankind, he wants to go to the most dangerous battlefield in person and cannot bear to let others shed more blood.

This led to the existence of many people who wanted to rush forward regardless of whether it was necessary or not, and even the emperor did it.

If one considers the overall situation, it is reasonable for the commander not to participate in a mission that is almost certain to end in death but is of great value. However, on the other hand, under the empire's millennia-long tradition, there is nothing inappropriate if the commander wants to participate in person.

Zhang Ge did not give a proper reason for the second half of Sister Heloise's words, but said:

"I'm standing at a crossroads with two roads. One is very dangerous, but reaching the end can push the entire chapter to the climax of a glorious epic. The other is safe, but it only leads to mediocrity. Sister Heloise, if it were you, would you choose the latter?"

Before she could respond, Zhang Ge, fearing that she would nod for some reason, continued:

"By many miracles I have come this far. If the Emperor is watching, allow me to summon the courage commensurate with his presence."

Things had come to this point, and even the head nun, who was a fanatical believer, could not persuade her any further.

But this also brought an unexpected side effect. Heloise was silent for a moment before answering:

"Okay, then, I'll go with you."

"Ah? You have to stay and point..."

Zhang Ge swallowed the second half of the sentence in the look in her eyes.

It’s bad. The tone was too high and it can’t be concluded.

"If everyone goes, then who will come..."

Zhang Ge was just about to ask who would take charge, but then he realized that there actually was someone, and in terms of steady and cautious approach, he might be more professional than himself.

The former deputy head.

Zhang Ge, who was blocked, could only swallow it himself and hope that this new member would not play a role at any critical moment.

After the handover of command was completed, Zhang Ge led a small group of elite troops and split off, turning a few corners and arriving at a straight highway that had been captured and used as a temporary airport.

More than ten Valkyries and the initial twelve Archaeopteryxes from all directions were quietly parked here. These fighters would take off with Zhang Ge and his party, more than one hundred veterans of the Star Army and more than sixty vanguards, and then rush towards the frigate.

If a Chaos Space Marine Captain wanted to infect half of a hive with the Warp within a few hours, the ritual he performed must have an external object as its core.

With just a few hours of preparation, he was able to suppress the other subspace creatures attracted here in such a large area, and maintain the separation between the subspace and the real universe. Even a company commander could not achieve this level.

Of course, it is impossible to just dig out such an external object from the top of the hive tower and use it as a pawn. It can only be something inside their warship.

Therefore, the goal of these nearly two hundred elite soldiers is to find that external object and destroy it.

Zhang Ge and five others, as well as seven other veterans, were assigned to a Valkyrie.

When he stepped into the fighter plane's crew cabin, the bright incandescent light in the dim cabin, which was originally illuminated by only an emergency red light due to electromagnetic interference, suddenly lit up, and the screens in front of the pilots, which were either off or showing errors, suddenly restarted one by one.

The originally painful sound of mechanical engagement suddenly calmed down, as if the electromagnetic environment in the outside world no longer existed.

Of course, Zhang Ge, who only saw the lights on, naturally didn't notice these abnormalities. After he sat on a seat, he reached up to buckle the safety bar and then tightened his seat belt.

The cockpit door, which should have been opened by the person closest to the door by turning the round valve after the disconnection, now slowly closed by itself, and the outside noise gradually decreased until it finally returned to silence due to the good sound insulation performance of the fuselage.

Also at the same time as the hatch was fully closed, a large amount of liquid was filled into the cabin through pipes connected to the cabin by external ground staff.

These are liquids used to counteract overloads caused by maneuvering during high-speed flight. Normally, this task should be completed by the electromagnetic field generator carried by the fighter itself, but in the current electromagnetic environment, the equipment fails. If you don't want to be thrown into a meat pie, you can only sacrifice a little load.

The ground crew didn't know that the fighter jet had returned to normal, and the pilot decided to charge it anyway for safety reasons, so they didn't stop it.

In this situation, the liquid gradually overflowed and filled into Zhang Ge's respiratory tract, making him feel a little uncomfortable. It was not until the feeling of weightlessness brought by the plane taking off came that he felt slightly relieved.

ps: I took an exam at noon today, and finally finished the last one. I will resume my normal update time tomorrow and become the lunchtime hero.

Chapter 102 Are all the Empire's pilots monsters?

As all preparations were completed, the fleet slowly took off one after another, and civilian airships and airplanes that had been requisitioned from the buildings on both sides also took off one after another.

Normally, an air raid on an important location would require a large number of decoy aircraft to create false signals or to serve as a shield at a critical moment, but now such conditions are not available, so civilian aircraft can only make do.

Of course, since they are all going to be used on civilian aircraft, there is naturally no time to modify the unmanned kit.

More than 20 fanatics with flying experience were selected to fly these 20 or so civilian aircraft.

Their cockpits were surrounded by melta bombs to ensure that even if a macrocannon shell hit them, they could be replaced and turned into molten steel.

It didn't take long before all the fighter jets capable of vertical take-off and landing were in the air.

Due to the current electromagnetic interference, there is no need to worry about being locked by air defense radars. Instead, they have to avoid anti-aircraft guns that can shoot at close range, so the fighter planes rise directly to high altitudes after forming a formation.

When the agreed time arrived, the fleet began to rush towards the battleship.

After flying for a short distance, although darkness returned after the light group dissipated, the sound of such a large-scale group of aircraft could not be concealed at all, and soon the enemy's intercepting firepower came.

Below, from the lost areas that had not yet been recaptured, deadly chains of light were thrown into the sky.

Each long chain was made up of countless anti-aircraft shells.

Between those two tracer bullets that seemed to be very dense, there were actually four or five ordinary non-luminous shells.

The firing rate of anti-aircraft guns is often thousands or even tens of thousands of rounds per minute. Even with the thickness of the Valkyrie's armor, it cannot last long after being bitten.

However, the prerequisite is to be able to hit the target. It is difficult to shoot aerial targets with naked vision at night, not to mention that the aircraft are maneuvering at any time, and most of the shells cannot hit the targets they are supposed to fly to.

Of course, the enemy is also aware of this.

Those shells didn't need to hit the enemy planes directly; they would explode on their own in mid-air.

As its shell was torn apart by the explosion from the inside out, countless shrapnel flew in all directions to form an anti-aircraft metal cloud. Perhaps the number of shrapnel from a single shell was insignificant, but with just one light chain, dozens of such shells could be launched per second.

The black smoke and flames caused by the explosion even formed a series of curtain walls of varying heights, which gradually approached the height of each aircraft under further adjustments by the anti-aircraft gunners below.

Suddenly, two bright blue flames appeared in the night sky, gradually lengthening and becoming particularly dazzling.

For some reason, a Valkyrie suddenly turned on the afterburner, and circles of Mach rings appeared between the tail flames.

In the air defense net, it suddenly broke away from its formation and lowered its altitude to move downward.

In just a few seconds, with the afterburner propulsion, its speed reached a level far beyond that of a normal Valkyrie, and it was even accelerating further.

When it touched the black clouds, the fighter plane's fuselage passed through the metal storm composed of a large number of bullets in just a moment, and then rushed towards the ground without slowing down.

Calls to the fighter jet from all parties fell on deaf ears, and no response was received - including from the pilot of the fighter jet himself.

After all, they are professional pilots, and they can still detect any wrong operation. They noticed the accident the moment of takeoff.
