Warhammer 40 Spring: Loyalty of the Multiverse

Chapter 280 Which one to save? Save them all!

Moreover, according to the latest research, some aspects of this so-called mana ecology may be applicable to the Emperor.

After all, Taraxin is doing this research in Dragonbone Village right now, like he's on drugs. He used to take drugs every few days, but now he takes them several times a day.

Even the Emperor, upon seeing Tarasin's appearance, couldn't help but suggest to Tie Hui, "Why don't we make this guy a middleman and control the upstream products so that he can gradually corrupt the entire undead civilization!"

When Tie Hui heard this, he was stunned for a moment because he felt that what the Emperor was talking about sounded very familiar.

Then I suddenly realized that I was acting like a troublemaker, and my thoughts jumped again to the Astartes and the Astral Army under my command. Should I change their uniforms, for example, to the uniforms of the Lobster Soldiers?
After all, if we really did what the emperor said, it would truly confirm the actions of the great powers!

But then I thought about it and got a little excited. After all, the other side wasn't human!
So they decided to discuss it with the emperor in a sinister manner, but because they had too much work to do, they had to put the matter aside for the time being.

Jingnan came out, while the heads of various departments stood anxiously at the door.

Even Mark, who usually has a relaxed expression, couldn't help but show a serious and cautious look at this moment.

“Charles has joined forces with Sengge and taken control of the entire city defense force and the Light and Shadow Society. Now, apart from the Hunters, the entire area around Lighthouse is under their control!” Dr. Carrie said, looking at Jingnan who had come out. As an old man who had experienced the old world, she knew that Lighthouse was neither a very big nor a very small place.

However, Charles and Seng were able to negotiate with the people on the ground simply by relying on the city's defense forces and the Light and Shadow Society.

Taking control of the entire lighthouse was still beyond their expectations, and even Instructor Elon, who was standing to the side, showed a rare expression of anger.

"Mark! What you need to do now is organize the hunters to deal with the impending battle." Instructor Elon came to Mark's side, patted him on the shoulder and said solemnly.

“But Lord Morgan is currently lacking heart medication, and Charles, who is in control of the air traffic control center during this lull, has detected a densely populated ecological area in the northwest that may contain the medication the Lord needs! I…” Mark was still thinking about Lord Morgan, after all, he wanted to force the Lord to release Penny and Donnie by organizing a group of people to go underground to retrieve the medication and save the Lord, so that they would not be executed because of that cold life formula.

“Mark, I know what you’re thinking! But this isn’t the time to give up your important position for one or two insignificant people.” Instructor Elon couldn’t help but scold Mark. “You know you’re Morgan’s handpicked successor to the city lord. Many people are dependent on you. Not to mention the others, the Hunters almost all see you as their backbone. Once Charles comes to power, how do you think he’ll deal with the Hunters? I imagine your friends and relatives, like Gog and Gavin, will be sent to the surface time and time again on missions with near-death experiences, only to die there. Or are you suggesting we send Ran Bing, Penny, or Erica to Dawn Hall every day?”

As he spoke the last sentence, Instructor Elon's voice suddenly grew louder, causing Mark, who was already feeling somewhat guilty, to widen his eyes in surprise.

But just then, the hatch of the city lord's hall, which was not far from them, opened and Tie Hui and the others walked out.

They looked at each other in silence for a moment, but did not exchange any further words.

For Tie Hui, the people at the Lighthouse were simply discussing his life and fortune, which had little to do with him.

“Mark!” Dr. Carrie stepped forward at this moment, as an elder of the old world. Even now, she still upholds the family relationships of the old world.

Even after the three laws were promulgated, she never went to the Hall of Dawn once, and Lord Morgan turned a blind eye to her because of her value.

She used to know very well that this was for the survival of humanity, but now, with the arrival of the people on the ground, she realizes that humanity may have another way of living.

"I just received a message from the medical department that Dawn Hall has allocated 30 sets of breeding hygiene tools to the medical department. I checked the list, and Ran Bing is on it, making up half of the hunters, but you're not on it!"

These words struck Mark like a bolt from the blue, causing him to look up at Dr. Carrie in shock. He was momentarily bewildered, unsure of what to do or what to choose.

The trauma of his sister being punished for violating the Three Laws still haunts him.

“Mark, now is not the time to hesitate!” Even Jingnan couldn’t help but stand up and advise him at this moment.

"I've made up my mind! I'll save the lighthouse, I'll save the city lord, and I'll save Donnie and Penny even more!" Mark looked at everyone with a determined gaze, took out a small iron box from his pocket, opened it, took out a cigarette, lit it, and put it in his mouth.

Looking at the photo of him and his sister on the back of the box, he said with an extremely firm tone, "I will save everyone. I will not allow anyone to fall on the eve of the revival of human civilization!"

"Tell us, Captain Mark, what do you want us to do? We'll listen to you!" Engineer Jessica stepped forward with an extremely alluring figure, her right arm supporting her large breasts, and said firmly.

"I'll lead the team down to the ground myself!" He took a drag of his cigarette, then glanced at Instructor Elon beside him. "Teacher, you, Jessica, Xuefeng, and Gaoge, keep a close watch on the lighthouse!"

Then he looked at Jingnan and said, "Jingnan! Allocate all available resources to the hunters! At the same time, mobilize all kinds of medical equipment as well!"

"Dr. Carrie, please ask the medical department to do everything they can to save General Victor! We must make sure he wakes up as soon as possible!" For the first time, Mark looked at Dr. Carrie with a pleading expression.

Although Victor is rigid and stubborn, as a former soldier from the Old World, this is his nature, and he has a clear sense of love and hate.

But he was extremely fair in his dealings with people!

The city's garrison at the lighthouse was extremely supportive of Victor, and even the hunters had a good relationship with the garrison during Victor's tenure.

“Alright! I’ll do my best! But don’t forget our deal!” With that, Dr. Carrie turned and walked towards the medical department. “Now!” Mark said solemnly to everyone, “Do as I say!”

The Lighthouse crew acted swiftly, and the hunters who had received orders were already fully equipped and ready to go in their armories.

After all, they hadn't taken off their combat gear after the previous battle, just in case anyone tried to cause trouble.

And now it has come in handy!

Furthermore, all the pilots of the gravity bodies were located in the gravity body storage area, which made the city defense army and the Light and Shadow Society dare not make any rash moves.

As Mark arrived, the city guards who were patrolling the perimeter but were actually keeping watch over him made way and looked at him with respect.

After all, they had all seen what Captain Mark was like. Moreover, the overall strength of the three armed forces of the Lighthouse—the Hunters—was second to none!
Therefore, when Seng gave the order, many city defense soldiers were not very happy. Not only did they respect Mark's usual conduct, but more importantly, the hunters were powerful and they did not want to die for no reason.

However, Charles's Light and Shadow Society directly dispatched its followers as supervisors and, together with Seng, directly controlled the city's defense forces' weapons and ammunition depots.

The inspector gravity body's weapon was quickly replaced with a heavy machine gun, and it was sent to Seng's team to serve as the backbone of the supervisory team.

This action forced the disgruntled city defense troops to take action.

As the gate slowly rose, a group of hunters who had been prepared stood at the entrance, some carrying guns and others squatting, all looking at Mark with relaxed and proud expressions.

"Get my gravity body ready!" Mark grinned!

"Boss, we've been waiting for you to say that!" Mo Cheng slung his gun over his shoulder and walked up to Mark, saying excitedly.

"Not bad, little boss!" Xuefeng and the others came out and looked at Mark with admiration, as if they saw the former Hongkou in him.

“Yeah, that little bastard Charles practically sent half of our Hunters on breeding missions. He even used a few of us old guys!” Haji said through gritted teeth, gripping his gun.

Upon seeing this, Xuefeng asked, "Can your thing still get up?"

Haji retorted without hesitation, "I'm much tougher than you, who's always yelling 'Hurry up, hurry up!'"

This instantly eased the slightly tense atmosphere, and even Mark couldn't help but chuckle in agreement.

Some young people who had never experienced the Hall of Dawn were bewildered, watching the crowd around them chuckling and laughing, completely clueless.

"Mark, you must be careful this time!" The old hunters, including Gog, who had been left at the lighthouse, came over and gave him earnest advice.

This time, Mark took most of the veteran hunters with him, while the remaining new hunters stayed at the lighthouse.

After all, they lack experience in working in the fields and are prone to making mistakes. Moreover, this time they are going to an ecologically dense area, so they must act quickly.

Even if a conflict were to break out between the city defense forces and the Light and Shadow Society at the lighthouse, it would simply be humans facing each other.

By then, the pressure on these new hunters will be somewhat reduced.

“In that case, let’s go!” Mark said, putting on his coat.

Everyone responded and quickly packed up their belongings. Seeing this, 4068 and the other Dust People also packed up their things.

This time, they all wore masks and were equipped with some melee weapons, even though the lighthouse stipulated that Dust People could not possess weapons.

But now, with the arrival of the ground people, the three laws of the lighthouse are about to collapse. Although the common people can't sense it, the elite citizens have all vaguely seen it.

So Mark Ben thought he would also apply for some weapons for some of the seemingly steady people among the Dust People, but he didn't expect it to be approved so quickly.

However, they did not provide firearms, only melee weapons, which were drawn from the city garrison's inventory.

It was delivered in just a few minutes!

If these dust people hadn't been untrained and we weren't worried that they might harm their own people with firearms, we would have equipped them with the same weapons as the hunters long ago.
