I'm in Warhammer, I just want to grow mushrooms

Chapter 165: Fuck the Word Bearers

964.M30，第30个千年的第964年，即公元29964年。

World number: 47-10.

Capital of the World: Monarchia, the Perfect City.

A meteor of fire fell from the sky, approaching the center of the perfect city.

When the meteors were close enough to the ground, people realized that they were not stars, but blue-painted Thunderhawk gunboats.

After the gunboat landed, the "Emperor's Angel" recorded in the Holy Word walked out of it.

They were as tall, majestic and burly as the rumors said, covered in hard metal armor and carrying the sacred eagle emblem.

The residents of the Perfect City knelt before them and sang words of praise, but what they got in return were cold gunshots and tough orders:

"Residents of Monazia, the capital of Planet 47-10, listen to this.

"We are the Imperium's Thirteenth Legion. We are commanded to visit the tenth world annexed by the 47th Expeditionary Fleet. We will deliver the Emperor's message.

"It is with a heavy heart that the Emperor demands that you abandon the city immediately. The city must be completely cleared within six days. Gather your belongings and evacuate the city as quickly as possible. Resistance will result in casualties."

The crowd fell into silence and confusion.

A female voice came from the stunned crowd:

"This is our home?! Where can we go?!"

The Emperor's angel turned his gun and pointed it at the woman in the long skirt. The people around him, fearing the merciless gunfire, quickly moved away from the speaker, leaving a large space.

The girl was pointed at gunpoint and swallowed hard, not daring to make a sound.

The Emperor's angel repeated the order, pointing his gun at the woman, as if he would unleash a barrage of bullets and execute the rebels on the spot in the next second.

At that time, Defias was still a clumsy scribe. In order to rescue the girl, he picked up the glass bottle on the ground and threw it out.

The bottle hit the angel's mask and shattered, igniting the crowd's will to resist. Curses and shouts followed, and bricks and glass shards poured down like raindrops, covering the Emperor's angel.

"Run away." Defias lowered his voice and shouted to the stunned girl.

The girl suddenly came to her senses and fled away from the crowd that was gradually getting out of control in a panic.

Defias also took advantage of the chaos to escape.

Moments later, the roar of heavy bolter rounds rang out from the heart of the city as the Emperor's Angels opened fire on the rioting crowd.

...

"The girl who shouted at the Thirteenth Legion was called Selene Valantine. I know her. We used to sit at the same table when we were in school. The Perfect City was destroyed by the Thirteenth Legion six days later. Selene was one of the few survivors. I heard that she was later taken away by the Word Bearers. I don't know what happened to her now."

Defias tells the story of the destruction of the Perfect City from a mortal's perspective.

Li Nuo asked:
"Are you a survivor too?"

"No, I am not a survivor. I am a defector whose faith is not strong enough, and I was once ashamed of it."

Defias laughed at himself:
"On the day the Thirteenth Legion arrived in the city, I left the city and headed for the assembly point designated by the Legion. The Legion's mortal auxiliary army was responsible for settling self-aware residents like us. They decided our destination by drawing lots, and so I became a miner on Granit 5."

Li Nuo connected the causes and consequences and asked thoughtfully:

"You are spreading religious beliefs related to the Perfect City here, inciting rebellion and fighting against the Imperial Army. Are you seeking revenge for your former homeland?"

"No, I'm saving the empire." Defias shook his head slowly and said in a deep voice:

"I want to use practical actions to tell the high and mighty Imperial Minister, Imperial Chancellor and Emperor that the cornerstone of the Empire is ordinary human beings who work hard just to make a living. These hardworking and conscientious people have never been the real enemies of the Empire. The corrupt and incompetent governors, the bureaucrats who are in office but do nothing, and the tyranny without any law are the enemies of the Empire."

Li Nuo's eyes flickered, his mind raced, and he found a loophole in the other party's words:
"Then, Defias, have you ever thought that the soldiers of the Imperial Army are also ordinary people? Why do you want your people to perish with them? If you hurt ordinary people in this way, what is the difference between you and the enemies of the Empire?"

A light flashed in Defias's eyes, a light of approval and affirmation:

"I knew the Imperial Army would send agents to spy on me, or even kill me. I have been waiting for you. You are smarter than I expected, Mr. Assassin. In fact, the so-called mutual destruction only targets the new governor, not the soldiers of the Imperial Army."

Li Nuo frowned, "What do you mean?"

Defias turned around and faced Li Nuo:
"That's exactly what it means. I want to have a fair negotiation with the new governor. I will use his life as a bargaining chip to exchange for a better future for the miners. After that, I will die without regrets. As an assassin, you should have the opportunity to face the commander of the Imperial Army and the new governor, right? I hope you can help me."

As the words fell, Defias' eyes sparkled.

Li Nuo had been using light magic to plot against his enemies, and now it was his turn to enjoy the same treatment.

In an instant, flashing bright light filled his vision and he felt strongly dizzy.

next second.

"Ding!"

A crisp sound came from about half a meter in front.

The waste shield generator on Li Nuo's waist automatically responded to the attack, using a light green energy barrier to block the metal syringe that was stabbing his neck.

Defias was stunned:
"You're actually equipped with a shield generator?!"

Li Nuo activates the bacterial ability - infrared blindness.

The Defias in front of him took an attacking stance and was stabbing the syringe at different angles, making a continuous ding-ding-ding sound.

The crowd nearby was alarmed and moved away from the warring parties. Many of them recognized Defias.

"His Holiness the Pope!"

"Do you need help?"

"We're always at your service!"

The Defias yelled:
"Trap this guy for me! Call the guards! Don't let him escape! Don't hurt him, I want..."

Before he could finish his words, Defias suddenly fell into a daze, and the people around him also stood still at the same time. The scene suddenly became quiet, as if everyone was playing 123.

This is the effect of brain freeze.

Li Nuo cast a healing spell on himself, and his vision quickly recovered and his field of vision became clear.

Under the effect of brain freeze, Defias's movement of waving the syringe was paused, and his facial expression was frozen at the moment of his loud roar. His expression was ferocious and distorted, no longer the compassionate look he had before.

At this moment, Li Nuo had a clearer understanding of the people related to the Word Bearers.

Compared with directly using knives and guns against the enemy, they prefer to gain the enemy's trust with words and then influence the other party little by little.

When you approve of their approach and don't explicitly object, they will take advantage of you and do something inappropriate.

In summary:

They are a group of scum who are good at speaking, know how to play with words and sensationalism, and like to use half-true and half-false lies to deceive the ignorant.

Regarding this kind of scum, the emperor is a radical, while Li Nuo considers himself a conservative.

The Emperor radically believed that he should destroy the Perfect City and tell Lorgar that you have done something wrong and that he is very disappointed.

Li Nuo felt that the emperor was too conservative.

When destroying the Perfect City, the Emperor should have eliminated Lorgar himself, Lorgar's adoptive father Kor Phaeron, Lorgar's chief priest Erebus, and the entire Word Bearers Legion.

"Thank you, Defias. Thank you for warning me. I won't be soft on people like you anymore."

Li Nuo walked up to the dumbfounded Defias, took out three syringes, and stabbed them into his neck.

"Bang bang bang!"

Gunshots rang out not far away, and a torrent of bullets flew over.

A light green shield appeared beside Li Nuo, and the curved barrier blocked the barrage of bullets.

"Damn assassin! Let the Pope go!"

The rebels around the city hall noticed Defias and Lino and rushed to support their leaders.

As luck would have it, the bullet that was deflected by the shield landed on Defias, and a series of blood splattered out.

As the rebels stared in amazement, their commander's mind went blank, his body riddled with bullet holes, and he fell to the ground like mud, reduced to a temperatureless corpse.

Neither Li Nuo nor the rebels had anticipated this scene, and the scene fell into deathly silence at this moment.

At this moment, a bluish-purple light emerged from the back of the corpse.

Li Nuo threw the analysis fungus towards the light and his expression changed slightly.

Parasitic spores of the Bone Drinker!

I looked at my waist again, but there was no response from the device I was looking for.

This shows that the metabolic product of the spore in front of us is a completely new substance, different from those encountered before.

Somewhere in the dark, Li Nuo felt that a large net carefully woven by someone was gradually taking shape.

The day this big net was formed was the day when the Bone Drinker Plague broke out on a large scale in the Hazy Star Region.

Suddenly, the balcony on the fourth floor of the City Hall was opened, and a figure rushed out from inside the house, standing on a high place holding a loud speaker and shouting:

"Catch that assassin! Don't let him get back to the ground! Quick! Catch him!"

When everyone heard the sound and looked, they were shocked to find that the figure on the balcony was Defias Silverlight!
Why are there two Defias?!
The rebels looked frozen and bewildered.

The finder on Li Nuo's waist trembled, and an alarm sounded from the headset:
"Boy, be careful, there's a mud man nearby. It's quite far away from you, we'd better smash its head before it runs away!"

Mud man!
A cursor representing the Mudman appears on the simple holographic goggles.

The figure pointed by the cursor was the "Defias" on the balcony of the City Hall.

The object finder on Li Nuo's waist is miniature, with limited scanning power, and it is difficult to penetrate a house with anti-detection effects.

After the mud man stepped outside, the thing finder immediately discovered its existence and reacted quite quickly.

But the rebels were unaware of the existence of the mud man and were still in a daze, which made the "Defias" on the balcony very angry.

"What are you still standing there for?! Didn't I say before that I am the Lord's representative on earth? I cannot be killed until my mission is accomplished! If one of me falls, there will be thousands of me standing up!"

"Defias" pointed at Li Nuo and shouted at the top of his lungs:
"This guy is disguised as Fremont, the captain of the 19th squad of the Riot Company! Don't let him out of your sight, otherwise he will change his face and escape from here! In the name of Silver Light, for our perfect city, catch him!"

"For the perfect city!"

Shouts were heard among the rebels, and everyone came to their senses and swarmed towards the assassin.

Li Nuo activated the bacterial ability - optical invisibility, and ran away, leaving behind a group of extremely shocked rebels.

"Why did the assassin disappear?"

"What the hell! What's going on?!"

The rebels fired indiscriminately, sweeping the direction where Li Nuo was originally located, but apart from accidentally injuring a few people, they gained nothing.

Defias was extremely anxious and took out his communicator and shouted orders.

In just a few seconds, all the channels connecting the fifth area to the outside world were closed.

This place has become a solid container, and Li Nuo is a turtle in the eyes of the rebels. But what the rebels don't know is.

Li Nuo's body is just a consumable.

As long as he has enough magical spores, he can possess as many special forces guys as he wants without having to fear death at all.

After confirming that Mud Men and Bone Drinkers appeared in the fifth district at the same time, Li Nuo decided to turn the whole place upside down to prevent Fugais from being ambushed.

At this point, Li Nuo was determined to kill.

He activated the bacterial ability - vibration sensing, and expanded the monitoring range to more than ten kilometers, covering the entire fifth district.

In an instant, all kinds of voices crowded into his mind.

Shouts, footsteps, gunshots, the gurgling of liquid in pipes, the rustling of rodents burrowing in the soil...

Every sound was madly squeezing Li Nuo's brain cells, impacting his mind like a wave.

Li Nuo found a corner to hide, leaned against the wall and barely stood up, breathing heavily.

The noise was like a raging storm. Li Nuo forced himself to calm his mind, concentrate his attention, and carefully search for the sound of the plasma reactor.

Soon, he found it.

One kilometer to the front and side, about 60 meters underground, there was a static noise unique to a plasma reactor.

Li Nuo ran as fast as he could, weaving through the streets like a whirlwind, brushing past many rebels who were searching for him.

A mechanical monastery came into view.

The jagged skull pattern on the doorplate was sprayed with black ink.

The bodies of the Mechanical Priests and Skitarians hung on the walls like wind chimes.

Outside the wall are defense lines built with cement and metal panels, where armed rebels stand, always keeping an eye on any movement nearby.

Find the device and shake it to send a warning.

"I've discovered the scanning signals of over a dozen shrimps! Protect your butt and don't let any shrimps see it!"

A dozen cursors appeared in the holographic field of vision, most of them were inside the monastery, and a small number were on the rebels on the periphery.

Li Nuo thought for a moment, took off his clothes, changed back to his original appearance, and took out "Brother Mao's black hair" to color himself.

After confirming that his entire body was covered in black paint, Li Nuo entered invisible mode and crouched down as he approached the factory.

He sped up and ran, leaping forward while launching a vibration spell.

The air under his feet was transformed into highly elastic air bricks by vibration magic, which carried Li Nuo's body over the three-meter-high wall and landed steadily in the monastery occupied by the rebels.

The scene here is extremely tragic.

It was clear that the rebels hated the local mechanical priests to the core, as dismembered fragments and smashed mechanical prostheses could be seen everywhere.

The monastery's bright room is quite conspicuous. It is a low building with two cylindrical batteries standing at the door.

There is a sign at the entrance of the building that reads "Reaction room is a restricted area, no open flames or strong magnets allowed."

Behind the sign, a pair of metal gates blocked the way, and dozens of rebels wearing armor were guarding the gates.

The carapace armor they wore was looted from the Governor's Guards, without even removing the guards' paint, coding, and emblems.

When Li Nuo arrived, the rebels guarding the gate had just received orders from Defias.

"Keep an eye on the plasma reactor door! Don't let anyone in! The assassin is trapped in the fifth area and can't leave. He might risk detonating the reactor! Do you understand?"

"Yes, Pope."

Li Nuo stopped 20 meters away from the gate.

Turn on the vibration sensor to monitor the sounds inside and outside the door.

There was only the static noise of the reactor inside the door, no footsteps or breathing sounds, which meant that there were no living people in the reaction room.

In this case, Li Nuo decided not to waste time.

He raised his right hand and aimed at the door of the reaction room, tightened his index finger, and slowly clenched his right hand into a fist.

[You consumed 500 tons of Li's Vibration Mushrooms to activate Vibration Technique!]

System text flashed across the field of vision.

"Rumble————"

The low roar quickly evolved into a violent earthquake!

The heavy door that blocked the gate was shaking, trembling, shaking, and deforming at a amplitude visible to the naked eye!
“Boom boom boom————”

"Bang bang bang bang——————"

The door hinges and locks broke one after another in the huge earthquake, and dense cracks appeared on the wall around the door frame.

This scene terrified the rebels at the door and they backed away from the gate.

"Oh my god! What happened to the reaction room?!"

"Is it an earthquake? I feel like everything is shaking!"

"Hurry! Run! The reaction chamber looks like it's about to explode!"

The huge shock pushed open a gap in the metal door, and bright plasma light escaped, illuminating the frightened face.

"call out----"

A light breeze blew past his face, and Li Nuo moved like a rabbit, passing through the crowd of people who were retreating from Queen Cang and slipping into the half-meter-wide gap in the door.

He opened his arms as if he was embracing a lover and ran straight into the buzzing plasma reactor.

As the thought moved, chitin cans the size of two human heads appeared in his hands, filled with orc fuel refined from the ancient fuel fungus.

With both arms swung, the can drew a parabola and fell towards the reactor.

Li Nuo pulled out the laser pistol from his waist, took a deep breath, filled his chest with air carrying a slight electric current, and suddenly pulled the trigger.

“Buzz buzz buzz————————”

The crimson laser flashed continuously, instantly igniting the high-octane promethium, followed by endless plasma sparks.

...

...

In low-ground orbit, inside the bridge of the Oberon-class battleship.

Captain Rahn is watching the real-time surveillance footage of the security zone.

He raised his hand and pointed at the figures in the picture, and said to his assistant:

"Let the Marines arrest these people and torture them severely. They are not refugees. They may be saboteurs sent by the rebels into the security zone to start a riot."

"Yes, Commander!"

The surveillance footage switched to the next perspective, and Rahn spotted a few more "refugees" with strange expressions.

This skill of judging the true identity of refugees by facial expressions was learned by Rahn from Delton, which helped him avoid many vicious incidents that hindered the suppression of the rebellion in advance.

Generally speaking, these saboteurs know where the rebel bases are located.

As long as we can pry open their mouths, we can arrange assassins to sneak into the rebel base and assassinate the leader.

Without a leader, the rebels' combat effectiveness will drop several levels, making the counter-insurgency operation more successful.

“Beep—beep—”

A sharp alarm suddenly sounded.

Rahn stared at the mechanical priest in front of the Auger Matrix:

"What happened?"

The mechanical priest's mechanical tentacles moved rapidly on the panel, and he spoke very quickly:

"Commander, I've detected an extremely strong plasma signal. The intensity of this signal is astonishing. I seriously suspect someone has detonated Om Messiah's sacred creation..."

"Look!"

"Look!"

"Oh my Terra!"

The Mechanical Priest's words were interrupted, and people looked at the dark sea of clouds outside the bridge with shouts.

As the clouds rolled, dazzling blue light pierced through the clouds and projected beams of light into the near-ground orbit.

“Boom————————————————”

The clouds were pushed away by the extremely powerful shock wave.

In an instant, it was dawn.

A hemispherical ball of blue plasma light appeared on the surface.

This ball of light looks only the size of a glass marble from a low-Earth orbit, but the energy it projects outward is incredibly astonishing.

In just a moment, alarms rang out in the bridge, and the auspicious instruments, sensors, and Auger matrices that monitored energy reactions flashed warning lights.

A full half minute passed before the bright light faded away, leaving a dark, shimmering spot on everyone's retina.

When energy readings returned to normal levels, local communications were barely restored.

"Beep beep." The sound array device sounded a communication prompt tone.

The Sound Array Master rubbed his eyes and said:

"Commander, there's a communication signal from someone identified as the former Governor's personal guard attempting to access our external channel. They claim to be the captain of a rebel squad and want to surrender to us..."

"Drip drip."

"Drip drip."

"Drip drip."

Dozens of signals came in, causing the sound array device to ring continuously.

Each signal represented a small band of rebels coming to surrender.

The number of communication signals increased dramatically, exceeding three hundred in half a minute, and was still increasing.

The atmosphere in the bridge became strange, with everyone's mouths open and their expressions dumbfounded.

It was really unexpected that such a massive rebellion suppression campaign ended not long after it began.
