Warhammer 40 Spring: Loyalty of the Multiverse

Chapter 256 Boss Bai's Worries

However, Victor quickly retrieved the tablet and strode up the steps to hand it to Lord Morgan.

This caused Charles, who was almost within sight, to freeze in place in an extremely awkward manner.

After Morgan took the tablet, he looked at the photos on it with a serious and inquisitive gaze.

Though outwardly calm, a raging storm was brewing within him. He had initially thought these new signs of human activity might have originated from the base where that woman was located.

However, judging from everything in the photos, it is clear that the base where the woman was located did not have such a terrifying and destructive weapon.

Finally, he clicked on a video!
The video is set in the suburbs of an abandoned city. The main road, which should have been covered with dense, fleshy soil, has completely disappeared.

The camera pans back to reveal ground littered with powdered flesh and shrunken, ball-shaped spines.

"These spines were all killed with a single blow!"

"Captain, we found no spent cartridge cases or bullet holes near these spines, only a large number of charred holes!"

"It seems there is an unknown force, and the weapons they use are probably a generation ahead of our Lighthouse."

"There were no bullet casings or bullet marks, only these charred holes. Judging from the wound on its spine, it was clearly pierced by a high-energy weapon, which, despite its power, penetrated the ground."

"It's somewhat like the laser weapons that some countries in the Old World are secretly developing!"

"But who has such a large budget? Judging from this, it seems like they're treating laser guns as standard equipment!"

"Could it be in the sky? After all, there are so many spaceships on the ground. Maybe some elite personnel from the old world really did escape in spaceships!"

The video abruptly ends here, and the audio in the video is the conversation between several team leaders, including Mark Ranbing, from the Hunters team.

As Morgan swiped to the next video, his expression changed instantly, startling everyone standing below except Mark.

As the camera pans across the video, large skeletal remains of enormous beasts are exposed in the wilderness, scattered about in a disorganized manner.

Some of the skeletons even looked as if they had been blown apart by something, with pieces flying everywhere!

As a former commander of the Wilderness Hunters, Morgan clearly knew what kind of creatures these skeletons were.

So familiar!

"Where did you get these photos from?!" Morgan stared intently at Mark below, brandishing the tablet in his hand as he questioned him.

"We've been collecting samples for nearly half a month, from open-pit mines to the outskirts of cities, and even from ancient world ruins and spaceships. We've taken photos of everything! We've also sealed and brought back some skeletons and the spines of the deceased," Mark replied earnestly. "Perhaps Dr. Carrie can study them later! If these are real, then returning to life on the surface won't be so difficult! Then we..."

boom--

"enough!"

Mark became more and more agitated as he spoke, but Lord Morgan slammed the tablet in his hand to the ground and glared angrily at Mark.

This caused everyone present to look at the city lord with some fear and shock, as the city lord had never been so angry before.

And it's targeted at individuals!
Charles was particularly shocked, as he seemed to have never seen the city lord's own father so angry.

But then came a surge of joy, followed by a hurried step forward and a concerned, distressed inquiry: "Lord of the City, please take care of your health!"

Then he turned around and angrily rebuked Mark, "Captain Mark, even if you are the commander of the Hunters, you should watch your words!"

Seeing Morgan slowly sit down, clutching his chest, Mark was at a loss for what to do next.

Although he looked anxious, he was too embarrassed to approach her, since he was the one who had brought the city lord to this state.

"Alright!" A weak voice finally came out after several seconds, and then everyone dispersed to the side.

Morgan stood hunched over, his face etched with exhaustion. "I think Captain Mark must have been on the surface for too long and is too tired. Now that the court meeting is over, Captain Mark, you should go and rest. All those who went down to the surface for the gathering mission, whether Dust People or Upper People, will have their contribution points doubled!"

One sentence brought the meeting to a complete halt, leaving Mark somewhat dejected.

He simply couldn't understand why the city lord wouldn't believe it, when anyone with eyes could clearly see from the photos and videos that the marks were from just this recent period.
Tie Hui and the others watching this dramatic scene on the screen were helpless, as the Devouring Beasts were charging towards them fearlessly, just like the Zerg.

The damage they inflicted was so extensive that it was impossible to clear it out in a short time, even if one wanted to.

So we just left it there and let it be.

After all, this planet was originally intended to be taken over, and because of Tarasin's repeated requests, he had even begun to consider completely fixing this world in place.

In this world, in this universe, a "New Terra" was established.

Ah—if that's the case, then I'll have to wear a helmet when I go fishing or something!

He still remembered when this idea first popped into his head, the Emperor asked him, "What do you mean, kid? Are you trying to split the Empire? If you do that, nobody will have anything to eat! No Brotherhood will agree to it! Everyone will turn against you!"

Tie Hui "..."

"Sir! Our exploration team has covered the entire continent with all the communication devices." A holographic image of a mechanical priest appeared before them, reporting the latest progress.

Because they didn't launch any satellites, they had to adopt the simplest method: installing a communication device at each necessary information node.

And some interesting things were discovered during the installation of these devices.

For example, those human tribes that are still active in various places.

For example, the location of Dragonbone Village!

To be honest, when Tie Hui saw the map, he didn't expect that the area covered by Dragon Bone Village was so vast.

And most importantly... their personnel have been discovered!
A conflict ensued, with two managing to break through the encirclement while one was injured and captured!
When he returned and learned what had happened, he sighed with regret. It turned out that the traces left by their gathering of supplies and the firing during their landing were too obvious.

This led some of the out-of-town collectors from Longgu Village to discover these clues, and as a result, Bai Yuekui and his group deliberately set a trap.

Then, like a complete idiot, the people I sent out jumped right into the trap.

"Assemble!" After giving instructions on the subsequent tasks, Tie Hui ordered 500 mortal auxiliary soldiers, along with Tiberos, 10 elite soldiers Astartes, and 20 blue canisters, to quickly assemble.

Armed with their weapons and equipment, they boarded the only remaining vehicles and sped off towards Dragonbone Village.

At this moment, in Dragonbone Village.

Bai Yuekui and the others felt a headache coming on as they looked at the mortal auxiliary soldier who had been bound hand and foot and thrown aside.

After they were brought back, we originally planned to interrogate them, but we didn't expect that the two sides would be so unable to understand each other.

Even Bai Yuekui couldn't quite understand what language this human was speaking!

However, judging from their standard equipment and powerful weapons, they clearly came from a human force unknown to them.

Furthermore, this faction's technology is extremely advanced; they have even miniaturized laser guns, weapons that were being secretly developed and tested on a small scale by major powers in the Old World, and equipped them to their soldiers.

Therefore, Bai Yuekui is now somewhat worried, as the standard weapons and equipment indicate that the other side has an extremely safe and spacious environment.

Moreover, the resources are incredibly abundant, which also indicates that the population of this unknown force has reached over 10,000!

And most importantly, they were able to standardize and mass-produce laser guns for ordinary soldiers.

This means that their elite units will be even more terrifying in terms of combat power, and once the enemy comes knocking, the destruction of Dragonbone Village will be a foregone conclusion!
"Boss! Teacher As is here!" Xia Dou's voice interrupted Bai Yuekui, who was frowning in thought.

She turned her head and saw that Xia Dou had moved aside, and the sunlight that was originally shining into the room was directly blocked back by a huge figure.

The figure bent down, touched the doorframe, and peeked into the room; it was As Terrence.
