Warhammer 40 Spring: Loyalty of the Multiverse

Chapter 284 Seng's Loyalty

Chaos erupted instantly among the crowd at the lighthouse, as the Dust People scattered in panic.

A group of masked hunters, guns raised, slowly converged from all corners, simultaneously unleashing a barrage of firepower at the city defense troops on higher ground.

Charles, who was now under protection and far from the battlefield, saw this scene and a look of triumphant excitement flashed in his eyes.

Sengge had already hidden himself away!
After all, the inspector gravity body that had just fallen was clearly damaged by an electromagnetic sniper rifle.

That kind of gravity body was just a makeshift, rudimentary model that couldn't even compare to a training gravity body in the Old World.

The main focus is on highlighting its splendor!
But his defenses were also top-notch; Feng wouldn't dare gamble on whether an electromagnetic sniper rifle could penetrate the gravity armor on his body.

Sure enough, some of the city defense soldiers at the heavy firepower points were directly sniped in the head, and some even had their shoulders smashed to pieces and fell down.

Although most of the hunters who stayed at the lighthouse this time were new recruits, they had all undergone long and rigorous training.

Furthermore, having been designated as hunters from a young age, they have always been trained according to the hunters' survival and combat model.

Furthermore, their ranks included some veteran hunters serving as commanders. This sudden attack instantly shattered the city defenses' carefully laid lines!

"Take control of the ammunition depot immediately!"

"Get those bastards from the Light and Shadow Society under control!"

"Find Charles!"

"Control the high ground!"

Shouts echoed throughout the hunters' ranks. Xuefeng, piloting a gravity-powered vehicle, stood in a corner, one hand wielding a heavy machine gun salvaged from an armored vehicle, dragging a long ammunition belt as he directed the other hunters' actions!

The Gravity Bodies in the Hunters' team are heavy equipment, and there are nearly two-thirds fewer of them than in the City Defense Army.

Therefore, they will not easily mobilize unless absolutely necessary!
At this moment, the city defense troops were in a terrible situation. During the first round of precise strikes, some of the city defense troops who controlled the high ground and key positions were directly and accurately eliminated.

Especially the oversight team composed of the Light and Shadow Society priests behind them received heavy firepower.

Although the city defense troops were also selected as combat personnel from childhood and trained and educated in this direction.

However, without life-or-death training, and having spent so much time on the lighthouse, he had become accustomed to routine.

The gap between them and the hunters widened instantly!

So much so that less than half a minute into the battle, they hastily deployed gravity bodies to the front lines!

And then, unfortunately, I received special attention!

A full-power shot from an electromagnetic sniper rifle struck the head of a city defense force's gravity body, denting the head armor. The impact of the bullet into the armor stunned the gravity body's pilot.

Blood was flowing from his ears and nose!

The next second, Xuefeng stepped out with a heavy machine gun in one hand and started firing wildly, silencing the city defense troops who had originally wanted to charge forward with their gravity-based defensive advantage.

In an instant, he was blasted into pieces, his blood and flesh spreading across the armor plates on the ground. At the same time, Xuefeng also took the opportunity to use the machine gun to focus his attacks on the gravity entity.

This will keep them preoccupied with nothing else!

Another shot from the electromagnetic sniper rifle at full power pierced through the leg joint of the gravity body that was silently defending itself.

Blood was flowing out, indicating that he had lost his ability to fight!

"Take out the sniper! Take control of the lighthouse anti-aircraft gun!" Sengge shouted orders to the city defense team from behind cover, gun in hand.

Several podded anti-aircraft weapons were suspended along the edges of the lighthouse's large cauldron lid. Once the heavy machine guns and missiles mounted on them were brought under control, they would completely turn the tide of the battle.

Therefore, both the city defense forces and the hunters recognized the importance of these air defense facilities.

Although the hunters knew of this importance before the battle, they sent people to secretly prepare to control the situation.

But does Sengge also offer enlightenment to ordinary people?

They had long ordered heavy troops to guard it closely, and the members of the Mechanicus were determined to protect the main structure of the lighthouse from damage in this battle.

And then a bizarre scene unfolded!
Two Astronauts, carrying their laser guns, escorted several Dust People to remove the missile slots from the gondola's defensive structure.

Neither the city defense forces nor the hunters dared to fire at them, even though they were fighting to the death.

The Astral Army, being sensible, led the Dust People to quietly detour and minimize their presence.

Charles was inside the law firm, which was heavily guarded, while outside the law firm was a small group of city defense troops that Seng had brought.

And there are two gravity bodies guarding it there!

Inside the law institute, all the priests were armed and on high alert.

Even the electric halberd in the hands of the Overseer Gravity Body has turned into a heavy machine gun!

Charles sat at one end of the long table, his back to the wall, bathed in sunlight, quietly cutting the sizzling, steaming steak on the table.

Behind him stood the fully armed Fanlu.

"How is Vanti's injury?" Charles asked casually, carefully cutting his steak.

"Thank you for your concern, Head of the Council! Under the protection of the Lord of Light and Shadow, Lord Vatican's injuries have greatly recovered. According to the documents issued by the Medical Department, Lord Vatican will be able to get out of bed and walk in half a month!"

“Take good care of her!” Charles said silently, putting a piece of beef into his mouth. After all, she was loyal to him, and he had personally chosen these twins.

They are truly rare finds on lighthouses!

"Shalif won't make it, will he?"

"Yes, Master!" "What a pity! Such a fine wrestler!" He said, picking up a piece of steak and looking at it as if admiring a work of art.

"Ask Dr. Carrie if we can make another one?"

"Yes!"

He continued eating his steak seriously, while the gunshots, shouts, and screams outside seemed to form a beautiful melody, causing him to close his eyes from time to time and wave his hands like a conductor.

Once the battle outside is resolved and the city defense forces are victorious, the blame for starting the war without authorization will be shifted onto Seng.

Then he would have complete control over the entire armed forces of the lighthouse. With this force, no matter how powerful the people on the ground were, he would have no problem controlling them.

But I don't dare to openly break ties with him!

For example, Mark and the others who have already descended to the ground!

Ha ha!

He smiled and glanced at 4277, who was shivering in the sunlight ahead.

ground!

Mark has now entered the Gravity Dawn, while the other Gravity Bodies are also on high alert.

Meanwhile, the hunters were searching for cover in the surrounding area!

At this moment, they were all filled with doubts. According to previous studies on ecology, there should be many Devouring Beasts on the outskirts of densely populated ecological areas.

But on their way here, they hadn't encountered a single Devouring Beast in the outer area. Now, after entering the core area, a huge one suddenly appeared.

A calyx beast with thorns growing from its back, and especially the keratinous bone layers that covered its entire body like scales, which served as a sturdy armor.

This made Tie Hui, who was familiar with the plot and was watching the transmitted images, pause for a moment.

While the butterfly effect hasn't been changed, every detail is completely different, even with the emergence of monarch-level entities conducting space blockades in outer space; yet, some of the main characters' storylines still follow the original plot.

"Damn!" he muttered speechlessly, then continued watching the live stream.

Meanwhile, the city defense troops on the lighthouse outside had been pushed into a corner by the hunters, and many of them surrendered when they saw that the situation was not good.

This caused the city's defenses to quickly crumble, which infuriated Sengge, who then cursed loudly.

At the same time, he frantically sent messages to Charles requesting support, but the only response he received was static from the communication channel, which made him realize that he had been deceived.

I've been pushed out to be the scapegoat!
"Damn it!" He crushed the communicator with a single blow, his face contorted in a ferocious grimace.

The few dozen of his remaining confidants were also somewhat panicked, after all, their boss was in such a state.

Who knows, I might die here!

"Contact those people on the ground!" After saying that, Seng closed his eyes in despair. The Lighthouse and the people on the ground were originally on opposing sides.

If it weren't for the superior strength of the people on the ground, the Beacon would have already taken action. His current actions are tantamount to arguing between two countries in the Old World.

As the Minister of Defense, he directly led the way in surrendering to a hostile nation.

In the past, within his own country, he was a two-faced opportunist who could please both sides.

But that was a family matter. Now, if we actually do it, we'll be at odds with everyone at the lighthouse!

Whether or not he cooperates when the lighthouse rebels against these people on the ground in the end!

His fate will not be good!
Meanwhile, Tie Hui, who was watching the live stream, stared blankly at Sengge's communication request.

He glanced at Tiberos and simply shrugged. "The first thing that guy said after opening the communication was to find the highest-ranking person in charge!"

Tie Hui turned on his phone, completely baffled as to why this guy would call him at this hour.
"grown ups!"

"If I'm not mistaken, you must be Seng, the current acting commander of the city's defense forces, right?"

"Yes!"

Listening to the continuous gunfire from the other end of the communication channel, Tie Hui roughly guessed what this guy wanted to do.

Sure enough, Sengge spoke up the next second, revealing his purpose: "My lord, I will lead the city defense army to pledge my loyalty to you to the death!"

Tie Hui licked his lips and tossed the apple in his other hand high in the air. He didn't reply, which made Sengge increasingly panicked, fearing that Tie Hui would refuse.

“Commander Seng, your abilities are indeed formidable! I admire people like you! But I really can’t compliment your past reputation!” Tie Hui took a bite of the fresh, juicy apple, making Seng’s lips twitch as he listened.

In a matter of seconds, Seng's eyes changed from hesitation to fierceness and determination. "I'll do as you say!"

"It depends on your performance!"

After giving his report, Tie Hui hung up the call. As for why he went through all that trouble, what was the point?

Of course, we should call this guy the "pledge of allegiance"!

Tie Hui himself had no intention of really giving this guy a big job; a two-faced person was no good person, whether in the Empire or with him.

If this were in Warhammer, he probably would have drawn his gun and shot the guy dead on the spot!
But this is the world of Ling Cage, where there is no temptation or interference from the chaos of the subspace. Squeezing out the last bit of value from him before discarding him is also a perfect solution.

"Send someone to keep an eye on him!" Tie Hui continued watching his live stream, but then gave the order to Tiberius.

"Yes!"
