Warhammer 30k and the Great Tomb of Nazarick

Chapter 41 Exploration
After completing the transaction and obtaining the urgently needed manpower and arms replenishment, some of the plans that had been shelved previously would naturally be carried out.

At present, the power of the Human Empire is still huddled in a small church district south of the center of the Slaine Theocracy, and has not made much effective exploration of this vast new world.

Although the biggest problem was the size of the portal, which meant that effective aircraft could not enter at all, the lack of human resources was also an important reason. After all, the vanguard was almost completely wiped out just by dealing with the attack from the Sorcerous Kingdom.

Now that Mamiko's Infantry Regiment and Jack's merchant troop have joined, although there is still a shortage of manpower, at least we can organize an exploration team.

Recovering valuable targets and saving the civilians of the Theocracy were arrangements to be made later.

Mamiko, Barn, Jack and others worked out a charter together.

Because the main force could not leave the church area, they had to be ready to deal with the next attack from the Magic Kingdom at any time and could not move lightly. Jack's troops and some of the natives of the Church formed thirteen exploration teams.

It is a very troublesome task to allocate a team of tens of thousands of people, but fortunately there are fanatical believers of the state religion who do not care about life or death at all. With the active cooperation of these people, once a direction is basically determined, they will immediately devote themselves to it.

As for those who are together, they will be dragged into it whether they like it or not.

The Valkyrie armed transport aircraft conducted an aerial reconnaissance and confirmed that there were no large-scale undead troops marching within a 200-kilometer radius of the cathedral area.

Although considering that the Sorcerous Kingdom often projected power through teleportation in the past, this result is more of a reference.

At the same time, the Valkyrie transport also reported the tragic situation in the occupied city and the discovery of several suspected survivors.

When the plane flew over the occupied city, the monsters from the Great Tomb of Nazarick tried to attack, but it was completely useless against the supersonic aircraft, and they were left behind by the Valkyrie transport plane.

Some daring pilots even took the initiative to lower their altitude to observe the situation in the city more closely.

The situation could only be described as horrific. There were almost no living people inside, and some were almost dead.

A large number of blasphemous objects created from human limbs and remains were erected, and the monsters reveled around human flesh and blood.

Obviously, this behavior greatly irritated the human empire's military commanders.

The plan to recapture the city was immediately implemented.

With the promise of taking back the city and dividing half of the things inside, a raiding team was formed with Jack as the leader and the believers of the state religion as the backbone. Mamiko also provided a small amount of heavy firepower support for these teams.

Jack had no interest in the city's territory; he was more interested in the rare treasures from other worlds.

In this alien world, the sphere of influence of humans is actually very small. Even the largest kingdom, the Al-Yestige Kingdom (where more than 275000% of its residents were wiped out by Ainz), has an area of ​​only square kilometers. The Holy Kingdom is only half the size of the Kingdom, and the Silian Theocracy is much larger, twice the size of the Kingdom, and about the same size as France on Ancient Terra.

For the human empire that is accustomed to the starry sea, this is really too depressing a living environment. Even the area of ​​the Theocracy is not as large as some of Jack's original factories.

And for some reason, this world is simply a riot of demons, with so many alien creatures that it seems like an expo.

After more reinforcements arrive, a major purge will definitely be carried out.

John also took the initiative to join the recovery team. After all, he was also the bishop of the Theocracy, and it was his duty to counterattack and save his former comrades.

As for the command of the Slan Special Operations Team, it was not affected either. Over this period of time, the people of the Church have long regarded the Human Empire as the new savior.

Moreover, John also wanted to take the opportunity to learn more about the theories of the Empire's state religion. He found hope in the "Holy Words" to integrate the Empire's truth with the beliefs of the six gods.

The exploration team was divided into thirteen groups and headed towards different places at the same time.

Among them, John joined and Jack personally led a group of only 5,000 people. Their goal was to go to the original capital of the Theocracy, Divine Capital, to conduct armed exploration and recapture it if possible.

In the afternoon, the Great Tomb sent out a force of 8,000 monsters to attack the military positions, but all of them were defeated.

After that, the exploration team set out. They ignored the fact that it was getting dark and directly embarked on the road to conquer the other world. After all, for Jack, time is money.

The fanatics of the Empire's state religion are not afraid of life or death.

As for the gang scum who were captured to do hard labor, they are two-legged multi-purpose animals, and Jack gave them a chance to turn things around, so they are now very motivated.

The expedition's progress was dull and uncomfortable.

According to John, the Theocracy was once a large country with a population of 15 million (from the perspective of local humans).

The first exploration team led by Jack himself advanced for more than two hours but did not find any survivors, nor did they encounter any undead.

The Christian people nearby either fled to the church area for refuge early on or were killed in the large cemetery. Only a very small number of very lucky survivors hid in various hard-to-find places.

After passing a village, Jack saw that it was completely dark and decided to eat first.

It is now past nine o'clock in the evening. Although Jack still wants to move on, according to John, there is a big town twenty kilometers away from this village, and there should be many good things there.

But Chen told him that it was not suitable to march now. If they continued like this, some people might fall behind and the formation would become disorganized.

Jack had no choice but to order someone to eat and rest.

Jack also discovered several villages along the way, but the results were not satisfactory.

There were no living people in the village anymore, only some brutally tortured corpses remained.

Although Jack ordered a thorough search, he only found some starving livestock and poultry, and a few ordinary foods.

When Jack first came into contact with these foods, he was very excited. But now he has long understood that these are just ordinary crops in this world. If he does not plan to make quick money directly from business, these things are just delicious food for the time being.

The most attractive thing in this world now is those unique magical items.

The more Jack searched, the more he cursed the alien tyrant named Ainz Ooal Gown in his heart. His troops were simply a bunch of crazy vacuum cleaners.

Even the copper handles on the residents' doors were knocked off and taken away, and after searching everywhere, it was found that not all the food had been taken away.

Although Jack felt that he might not be able to find anything good in this current situation, he still had to search.

Maybe there are some left.

This village was just like other villages, most of the living people were gone, and only some human remains were left in the village.

You can see it with a little observation.

Some adults were thrown into boxes with their limbs twisted off while still alive.

An old man was chained to a doghouse, and not far in front of him were exquisite snacks and mellow wine, but the distance was calculated better, an inch more than the longest reach of his arm.

The old man in the doghouse still maintained the posture of stretching out his hand in anticipation. The snacks in front of him had already gone moldy, and the wine bottle had fallen over, with the wine inside long gone.

Someone had his skin peeled off and was embedded in the window.

Just like other villages, the aliens in the Great Tomb of Nazarick wantonly display their brutal aesthetics.
