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

Hitting the target accurately at this distance is just the basic skill of these elite soldiers. The opponent's so-called loose defense is like a ridiculous child's graffiti.

However, even the fiercest bodyguards among them could only just reach the edge of the Star Army recruits. It didn't make any difference if they were not loose. Even if they were fully prepared, it was basically nonsense to expect them to stop these veterans.

Of course, although this was a normal thing for Zhang Ge, for Alfie in his arms it was a thriller come true.

The fully automatic weapons fired accurately and continuously, killing hundreds of people without any empty shots.

If you take any one of these three points individually, anyone in the gang can do it, but when they are combined together, the familiar words become extremely unfamiliar.

Moreover, before those people opened fire, she did not receive any information about their existence. You have to know that those were ten living people, not ten birds or ten flies.

Before getting off the car, the gang sniper had assured her that there were no other enemies except the man standing on the street.

But now...she subconsciously looked in the direction where the snipers were deployed.

Sure enough, there was a sniper rifle standing upright, with the sniper's head stuck in the muzzle.

After realizing that the other party's previous words were not a threat but just a concise description of the facts, the smile on Alfie's face froze.

Seeing this, Zhang Ge also knew that the other party probably accepted his communication method, and then continued:

"The Astra Militarum is about to attack you, so you're responsible for gathering the other gang leaders. I'll kill them. As for you, you're lucky to be the first one to meet me. The post-war reconstruction requires someone who is familiar with the environment, and you were chosen."

"What? How is that possible? What guarantees our safety is..."

Zhang Ge interrupted her impatiently before she finished listening:

"The nobles above you are now struggling to take care of themselves. Their guarantees can't even protect themselves. If you don't believe me, I can choose someone else."

In fact, to be precise, it was Calgar who wanted to take action against them, but for these gangs, there was not much difference between facing the Astra Militarum and facing the Space Marines.

After saying this, Zhang Ge let go and pretended to draw his sword.

This action obviously reminded the other party of a fact: if she agreed, even if Zhang Ge was lying to her, she could live for a while longer, but if she didn't agree, she would become one of the hundreds of corpses in front of her.

"I promise, I promise!"

"how much time is required?"

"Huh? How long do you mean?"

The huge changes that happened in just a few minutes obviously made Alfie a little dazed.

"Call the leaders of the other gangs in the area."

"If it were me, maybe... three or four hours? Because I need to spread all kinds of information and increase credibility, so..."

"Okay, then let's do this. I will follow you personally. As for my identity, you can handle it yourself. Just use it to enter the venue."

Interrupting her subsequent explanation, Zhang Ge asked her to slow down and ask someone to clean up the mess.

It’s not that he is conceited. The main reason is that even if this man can mobilize tens of thousands of gang armed forces, his organizational ability is there, and the number of troops that can be mobilized in a short period of time is limited.

Even if she wanted to do something, since the others had already set up hidden positions, the probability of sacrifice would be only Zhang Ge, and the others could retreat to the landing point calmly.

However, to Zhang Ge's regret, time passed by, and until a new driver arrived and the two of them sat in the back seat of the car together, Alfie had no intention of doing such a small move. It seemed that he had been moved by his previous communication.

Chapter 167: Fleeting

After Zhang Ge got in the car, it drove through the various controlled areas of the gang at a speed that an ordinary person could jog at.

Judging from the scenes seen along the way, the armed forces of this Hive Gang are actually not as bad as imagined. At least in terms of organizational form, they already have the rudiments of an army, and they also have a lot of heavy equipment and even military vehicles.

However, considering that a large gang may have existed for at least a dozen years and at most hundreds of years, it is not surprising that their thugs tend to be professional.

If you want to be more serious, they are actually closer to "rogue warlords" than gangs, but their scale is too small compared to the regular army of the hive.

This kind of specialization is generally stronger on planets with higher war intensity - war will produce countless disabled people and veterans. If the aftermath work is not done well, many of these former soldiers who have only known how to kill people all their lives will turn to other violent organizations to make a living.

Those who are lucky will join some security groups, while those who are unlucky will naturally join gangs.

If this continues, the PDFs on some planets that have enjoyed peace for a long time may not be as strong as these highly professional gangs in terms of combat effectiveness if they do not have an advantage in numbers. After all, those so-called gang thugs have actually become mostly disabled Star Army soldiers who have changed their clothes and the "new recruits" they have trained.

Of course, these gangs in Tianying Port are obviously not their professional colleagues who have been in internal turmoil for who knows how long, and the enemies they are about to face are not the PDFs on the peaceful planet.

Amidst all these thoughts, the vehicle had passed through layers of checkpoints and arrived outside a black fortress surrounded by high circular metal walls.

Zhang Ge took a quick look at this side of the fortress through the car window.

In his eyes, the structure was like two simple V-shapes facing different directions, and the angle formed by the two Vs was the entrance to the fortress.

Although only this part can be seen, if nothing unexpected happens, Zhang Ge speculates that its main body should be built in a star shape. Such a structure can effectively eliminate blind spots in shooting and resist artillery fire.

Without paying much attention to these, Zhang Ge turned back and glanced at Alfie's expression before crossing the alloy gate.

It seemed that even reaching the core area under her control did not give her a sense of security. Although her expression was calm, she could see slight tremors in her limbs such as fingers.

This is not good news. If someone is observant enough, they can easily see that something is wrong with her.

So, Zhang Ge thought for a moment and said:

"Do you have prosthetic hands and legs in your warehouse?"

"Is there...any problem?"

After hearing this answer, Zhang Ge knocked on the partition between the front seat and the front seat to confirm its sound insulation, and then continued calmly and seriously:

"Can you suppress the slightest tremors in your limbs? If not, then amputate them and replace them with prosthetic limbs. Otherwise, you might be exposed."

When there is no need to show sympathy to the "cooperating" partner, of course the most efficient solution should be considered, and any factors that may hinder progress should be eliminated as much as possible.

However, these caring words seemed to be understood as a threat in Alfie's ears. She shrank her hands and feet and looked around as if trying to find a little comfort from the densely packed guards around her, or as if trying to measure whether the force she could mobilize at the moment was enough to stop this demon.

"Any questions?"

This time, this sentence was asked by Zhang Ge as he continued to ask.

"No, no, not at all."

Alfie finally gave up the idea in his mind, inserted the short stick into his belt, and hugged his arms under his chest, trying to cover up this small flaw with his movements.

Soon, the vehicle stopped in the garage inside the fortress. The two men entered the depths of the winding building under the protection of a group of thugs who rushed up. Although some people along the way were puzzled by the appearance of Zhang Ge's strange face, they were all glanced away by Alfie.

When he arrived at her magnificent bedroom, Zhang Ge casually sat beside her bed, watching her convey one command after another through the communication, and finally report back to him:

"Because,"

Alfie seemed to have not recovered from the tone just now. For a moment, when communicating with Zhang Ge, he returned to the state before being influenced by him. After being glanced at thoughtfully by Zhang Ge, he suddenly realized this and interrupted what he wanted to say next, reorganizing his words:

"Each gang has been attacked by unknown individuals before, and without exception, no clues have been found. Therefore, they are more anxious than expected. If nothing unexpected happens, we will see them in this fortress within two hours."

"it is good."

After glancing at her, Zhang Ge continued:

"Amelia."

As expected, after the words fell, a tall figure who was over two meters tall in armor appeared behind Alfie. The halo behind him seemed to be much more condensed than at the beginning and emitted a faint golden glow.

It was Amelia.

"Alas?"

Alfie was frightened by the sudden appearance of Amelia and slipped to the side, but fortunately she had good balance and did not fall.

"anything?"

For Amelia, with Alfie and his team responsible for opening the gates along the way, the difficulty of sneaking into such a fortress was basically zero. Their simple detection equipment and cameras could not even break through the first layer of invisibility of the power armor. All she had to do was not make any sound.

"You should go to the venue and prepare first. Security may be increased after it starts."

"clear."

The room returned to silence after Amelia left. Time passed until Alfie received a few more calls and then said to Zhang Ge cautiously:

"They have already entered the fortress separately, but in order to get them to agree to set the venue inside the fortress, I had to agree to let them come in with their respective guards."

"I've heard it before, no need to repeat it."

Zhang Ge stood up, and Alfie tactfully said nothing more. The two of them quickly walked through the corridor into a slightly dim hall.

This place is very simple, with black walls, floors and ceilings, creating a faint sense of oppression. In the center is a long table, with five people sitting in different areas around the table, each of them with about ten personal guards.

After going through an inspection that even the owner of this place could not avoid, Zhang Ge followed Alfie into the venue.

"Is everyone here?"

Zhang Ge did not move forward, but stopped and asked Alfie.

"Yeah... all set."

When the leaders in the venue saw the two men stop, they seemed to realize that something was wrong. However, just as they were about to leave, Amelia appeared at a corner of the long table.

The palm of his power armor with a magnetic module was pinched on the side of the table.

Then, he pulled up the solid metal table.

Amidst the extremely short and frequent slapping sounds, a hurricane brought about by the swinging of the table swept up the hair of Alfie who was standing not far away opposite.

The tabletops twisted into various shapes were thrown away casually.

It was not until Amelia took the first step that the first leader who was smashed against the wall slowly began to slide down, and at the same time, blood flowed out of all seven orifices due to the complete rupture of the internal body.

In just this instant, dozens of corpses appeared in the venue. Many of them were glaring at Zhang Ge just a second ago, but in this second they had turned into grotesque remains scattered everywhere, spurting scarlet liquid.

Chapter 168: Seven Hours of War

After using his grenade launcher to confirm that there were no survivors, Zhang Ge asked Alfie, who was standing there in a daze, in the hall filled with smoke and the smell of blood:

"With all their leaders dead, if you initiate a war, what are your chances of holding back at least thirty-six Terra Hours of these gangs at once?"

Hearing this, Alfie did not answer.

Looking at the other person's expression, Zhang Ge could understand the shock of having his own constructed worldview torn to pieces in just a few seconds. Considering that time was not tight, he planned to clean up the battlefield first.

These gang leaders might have some dirty stuff on their hands, and nothing good will happen if you leave that stuff stained with blood for too long.

But just as he turned around, Alfie's voice came from behind him, much faster than Zhang Ge expected:

"Seventy percent. If you can lend me a hundred people, ten percent."

"So you've made your decision?"

"After what you've witnessed... it's hard not to make a decision."

Her smile was tinged with bitterness.

Who among those present just now was less powerful than her? She had been standing above millions of people since she was born, and for a long time she thought that such days would last forever.

until today.

She finally came out of the dream and realized that she was nothing but a piece of fish at the mercy of others.

"Very good, that will make things go more smoothly, but I won't lend you a hundred men. My men can't die for some scum."

Zhang Ge's response did not deviate from the other party's surrender, but he also had no intention of wasting this strategic opportunity:

"However, I can provide you with a certain degree of air support, as long as you can ensure that the air defenses in that area are basically destroyed during the ground battle."

"Then there are no further questions, and thank you for your generosity."

"Generous? No."

He replied somewhat strangely.

"My plan won't change because of this. Everyone in the area you control will undergo a round of investigation. The scum will be eliminated, and those with less serious crimes will be relegated to slave labor, hard labor, or military service, depending on the circumstances. Even those who have made contributions through participation in the war will not be exempted. All you're doing is increasing your chances of survival."

But after hearing this showdown, Alfie answered without hesitation:

"That's what they deserve."

I don't know if it was because he was aware of what those people had done, or if he simply wanted to kneel down until the end.

However, at least it is a qualified answer for Zhang Ge:

"Then, go ahead and do it. If you want more of your men to live to see the third day's sunrise, it's best to let them demonstrate their worth. I'm not qualified to forgive them on behalf of those who have suffered, but I can squeeze out their worth for those who haven't suffered yet. The remaining space is the length of time they can survive in this world."

After Alfie nodded and turned to leave, Zhang Ge turned his head to Amelia and asked:

"Did she lie just now?"

Amelia, who was piling up the bodies for burning, took the time to reply:
