Warhammer 40 Spring: Loyalty of the Multiverse

Chapter 269 The Lighthouse Catastrophe 1
"Penny!" Donnie recognized the woman lying on the ground the moment he saw her figure. Seeing her in this state, she must have suffered inhuman torture.

"Damn it!" Donnie cursed and raised his rifle to fire, but Xuefeng, who was standing next to him, quickly raised the muzzle of the gun upwards. The bullet passed over the heads of the city guards and hit the ceiling behind them.

This put the city's defense troops on high alert, and they even trembled involuntarily, as they had never experienced any life-or-death battles.

Seeing the state of his men, and even one or two of the gravity pilots taking a half-step back with a dark expression, Sengge was shocked.

Their city defense forces were already in an awkward position within the lighthouse, and now, with their own men behaving like this in full view of everyone…

"Put down your weapons! If you make any further moves, we'll open fire immediately!" Sengge ignored everything else and aimed his heavy machine gun intently at the group of hunters.

"Sengge, why aren't you putting down your weapons?" Just then, chaotic footsteps sounded again behind the city guards and the members of the Light and Shadow Society, and the voice of the hunter Corey rang out from behind.

The group turned around and saw a large group of hunters already equipped and hiding behind suitable cover, pointing their guns firmly at the city defense troops.

Especially behind Gravity, who was holding a large shield and carrying a twin Gatling gun in the very middle of the road, Corey's voice came from behind.

"What are you hunters trying to do? Are you planning a rebellion?" Seng roared, his face deathly pale, cold sweat pouring down his back. He knew things had completely escalated, and he absolutely couldn't cover this up. Not only could he not, but neither could the group of Light and Shadow members beside him.

Corey didn't reply, but instead poked his head out and looked at Xuefeng and the others. "Hey, you bunch of old fogies! Something this big happened and you didn't even tell us. Are you looking down on us?"

boom--

The gravity-enhanced shield slammed onto the metal floor. Erica's visor opened, revealing her childlike face. "Yeah! You're looking down on us! We've been through thick and thin together on the ground, after all!"

Click——

Feixue wasn't wearing the gravity suit this time, since they were on top of the lighthouse. However, she was carrying her electromagnetic sniper rifle and had it turned up to maximum power.

"Damn it, what are you doing?" Xuefeng was touched, but he knew that if this matter were to be reported to higher authorities, everyone would be in deep trouble.

"What are you afraid of, Captain Xuefeng!" A Berserker stepped forward, cocked his gun, and pointed it directly at the group of city guards in front of him. "At worst, we'll just make our move now and make Captain Mark the city lord tonight! It's just a matter of a few days earlier!"

"You want to rebel?" Vatican asked the two groups, feigning ignorance, but her words carried a strong sense of threat.

"That depends on whether you know what's good for you!"

Having received the answer, Vatican nodded and gestured to Sharif beside him. The tall Sharif turned and bent down, his massive steel hands gripping Penny tightly as she lay on the ground.

He grabbed her head and lifted her into the air. Penny's golden hair was now a mess, with filthy bloodstains sticking it together.

As she swayed, her once beautiful face was now covered in wounds through the gaps in her hair. Drops of blood even dripped from them!

Space battlefield!
Tie Hui seized the opportunity and severed one of his arms with a single sword strike. Blood splattered, but within seconds, bromine mist sealed the wound, and the visibly pulsating flesh at the wound site clearly indicated that a new arm would regenerate within seconds.

Having suffered such severe damage, it naturally couldn't just sit and wait to die. It unleashed a torrent of lasers from its mouth, even sweeping across the area from points to lines and then to surfaces to clear out these annoying creatures.

Iron Glory and his crew scattered and took cover amidst the surrounding debris, but the debris was dwindling. As their battle raged, countless pieces of space debris formed a massive meteor shower, like falling meteorites.

And the landing site was directly aimed at the lighthouse that was still being evaded!
Meanwhile, the people still discussing matters at the lighthouse received two pieces of news that shocked them greatly.

Victor was the first to receive reports of the hunters and the city guards drawing their guns on each other because of the matter between the residents of Shangmin, Donnie and Penny.

Charles, who was casually fiddling with the dust and foreign objects on his gloves, followed closely behind and received a communication from Vatican.

In particular, the adjutant Ran Bing looked at Charles and Victor, who was standing next to Lord Morgan, with a drastic change in expression.

Meanwhile, Instructor Elon also received the news.

Just as they were all making their moves, Jingnan exclaimed in panic, "A large amount of space debris is falling towards this area, and its path is right past the lighthouse. The area is extremely wide!"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of those who had received the news varied. Only Mark, completely unaware of the situation, spoke first, "Lord City Lord, we should immediately activate the air defense system and increase the lighthouse's evasion speed! At the same time, have the hunters prepare to descend and collect any necessary supplies the lighthouse needs!"

"Alright, everyone, get out of here and do your jobs. Make sure the Lighthouse gets through this danger!" Lord Morgan saw the look Victor gave him and knew something must have happened inside the Lighthouse, so he quickly used this unexpected situation to smoothly end the meeting. "Lord!" Just as he was about to announce the end of the meeting, Charles's slow and confident voice rang out in the meeting hall, drawing everyone's attention to him.

Victor quickly shook his head slightly at Lord Morgan, who immediately understood and said, "Alright, we can talk about everything later. The most important task now is to help the Lighthouse get through this crisis, and all departments must take strict preventative measures to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the chaos to cause incalculable damage to the Lighthouse!"

Charles was speechless, his face turning pale. Before he could say anything more, Victor immediately stepped forward. "This court session is adjourned. All departments, return to your posts immediately! No mistakes allowed!"

Charles looked at Victor with a sinister glint in his eyes, then turned to look at his father, the city lord, with a pleading expression.

But Morgan simply looked down at him coldly and said, "Each department should do its job, and be quick!"

"Yes!" The crowd accepted the order and prepared to leave. Even Charles had to swallow his anger and wait for the reckoning later.

"Hunter Commander, Mark, stay behind!" Victor's voice rang out just as everyone was about to turn and leave. Ran Bing, Jing Nan, and Instructor Elon all showed tense expressions, and Ran Bing even turned back to give Mark a deep look.

Mark nodded with a relieved expression, a scene that Charles happened to witness. The gloom on his face vanished like snow, replaced by a warm and gentle expression, and a meaningful smile appeared on his lips.

Victor quickly relayed the information he had received to Morgan, which instantly turned Morgan, who had only been slightly tired, into a serious expression. A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he swept over Mark, who was still standing below.

He nodded to indicate that he understood, and Victor followed suit, giving Mark a meaningful look as he walked over.

Morgan didn't immediately reveal what was happening outside. Instead, he stood with his hands behind his back, facing the window, gazing at the sky outside, and silently said, "Mark! This time, the Lighthouse is probably in for a tough time!"

Mark didn't know exactly what had happened, only assuming it was still about space debris. Morgan was worried, saying, "Lord, with everyone united, Beacon will definitely overcome this."

Morgan shook his head, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes. Finally, as if making a decision, he sighed and said, "The position of city lord isn't as simple as you think. Tomorrow I'll take you to see the lighthouse's ultimate secret! Then you might..."

boom--

Before he could finish speaking, a violent impact resounded throughout the entire lighthouse, causing it to shake violently.

Morgan, who was not prepared, almost fell to the ground, but luckily he was close enough to grab the armrest of the city lord's chair in time.

Mark had already run up and helped Morgan back to the lord's chair when Jingnan's video call came in.

"Lord City Lord, those trash have collided with the third area of ​​the lighthouse. The lighthouse has tilted at a certain angle. At the same time, the mortal quarter of the third area has cracked, and if it cannot be repaired in time, it may detach from the lighthouse!"

"What is the specific condition of the main structure of the lighthouse?" Morgan didn't care about the lives of the Dust People; he went straight to asking about the overall condition of the lighthouse.

"The main structure is largely undamaged. The city defense forces have already activated the anti-aircraft missiles and weapons on the lighthouse. Many large pieces of space debris will be destroyed, but there are too many small pieces to intercept. In addition, the high-speed impact will damage even the top armored structure of the lighthouse!"

"How are the crops and livestock areas at the rooftop farm?" Morgan then turned his attention to the rooftop farm, which was only protected by a retractable fiberglass structure.

Space debris, falling like meteorites, could easily shatter this fiberglass!
The crops and livestock there cannot be lost too much, otherwise the people's food supply cannot be guaranteed, and the people's hearts cannot be at peace.

"The aerial farm has not suffered much damage so far, but according to reconnaissance, more space debris will fall on the top of the lighthouse in the next two hours."

"Sigh—do everything you can to ensure the safety of the aerial farm!"

"Lord City Lord, are you referring to those commoners?" Jing Nan was startled upon hearing this and immediately asked, but before he could finish speaking, Morgan sternly interrupted him.

"Ensure the safety of the lighthouse itself first!" After saying that, he closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair.

Upon seeing this, Jingnan's eyes were filled with shock.

Fortunately, Mark, who was standing next to her, gave her a wink.

"Yes!"
