Warhammer: Open the door! Human League players!

Chapter 116 We fought side by side ten thousand years ago

Beneath the shadow of Macurag lurks the Chaos Cult, which is currently conducting evil rituals throughout the city, luring countless civilians into chaos and turning them into believers, all in the hope of finding a glimmer of hope amidst the catastrophe.

Numerous subspace rifts opened on the surface of Macragge, but the tearing speed was far less efficient than Abaddon had anticipated.

With the support of more and more players, humans trapped in danger and suffering were rescued one by one. Gradually, people stopped resisting the help of these mechanical creations and huddled within the solid defenses built by the players.

The UN peacekeeping force continued to escort civilians into the city of Makulag, completely disrupting Abaddon's plans.

"No, the number of sacrifices is far from enough! More humans must be sacrificed."

That unidentified boarding squad managed to cripple the combat capabilities of two battleships in succession.

The two battleships, each seven or eight thousand meters long, were like paper in front of that boarding squad.

"Useless! Can't even find out who the other party is!"

A tense, oppressive atmosphere hung in the air of the Black Legion. The Deceitful Lord reported in a deep voice, "Commander, most of the mortals on this planet have now gathered in Macurag City."

"Those—Iron Men?"

"The Iron Man's efficiency is as high as ever."

Abaddon recognized these Iron Men. That mysterious Eldar fleet, along with tens of thousands of Iron Men soldiers, had actually managed to suppress Macragge's sacrifice progress.

Now that the Eldar warships are unable to take down the enemy, Macuragh's situation is gradually becoming unfavorable to him.

The deceitful lord spoke again: "Gather your forces and take Makulag City."

"This place is not as easy to defend as Hera Fortress."

"If all the humans in the city were sacrificed, it would be enough to drag the entire planet into chaos."

"At that time, all our losses will be compensated by the Chaos Gods themselves."

Abaddon was tempted.

He knew that the deceitful lord was always full of lies, but this time, he was telling the truth.

"Deploy all troops! Unleash the demonic war machines!"

"Concentrate all firepower and break through the Macragge defenses!"

Felus, piloting a ram, led more than twenty Space Marines to mop up the battleship that had been boarded.

Many Space Marines today are equipped with weapons provided by the Federation.

A laser cannon shot out, piercing straight through the battleship's internal structure. The crew fought their way to the command center, paralyzing all the ship's facilities, and even turning their attention to attacking other battleships in the vicinity.

"Ferus, airdrop into Macurag." Fang Yun contacted Ferus directly through the Human Union's internal communication network.

"Guilliman is in a bit of trouble."

Felus stared intently at the Chaos fleet besieging the Eldar warships: "Commander, these warships—"

With over a hundred enemy ships continuously besieging it, the situation would have deteriorated into a desperate situation where three hundred warships were surrounding and annihilating a single escort ship if the Ultramarines' fleet had not been holding the line. The disparity in strength was ridiculously large.

Only a top-tier combat force like Ferrus could repeatedly board enemy ships and cripple so many enemy vessels.

"I'm here." Fang Yun took on the pressure of fighting against hundreds of warships.

At this moment, the Eldar warships are relying on Fang Yun's abundant spiritual energy to maintain the stable operation of the stargate.

"Macurag is about to be dragged into the warp."

"You know the consequences once it comes true."

Ferrus's expression was grave.

If Macuragh falls into the warp, Guilliman's resurrection will fail, and hundreds of millions of lives will perish.

Fang Yun stood atop the Eldar warship, using his vast and powerful psionic energy to continuously stabilize the operation of the psionic warship and its shields. Using the stargate as the core, he connected the entire planet Galun, allowing support supplies, weapons, and ammunition to be continuously delivered to the Macragge battlefield.

"Ferus, remember this: humanity comes first!"

After ending the communication with Ferrus, Fang Yun once again devoted himself to the battle plan.

At this moment, the entire planet Macragge was writhing eerily. Tides formed from the convergence of demonic and chaotic energy, along with bizarre creations such as rotting corpses and seas of blood, were constantly emerging on the planet's surface.

Death and wailing intertwine, coalescing into an endless power of pain that relentlessly erodes Macragge's barrier of reality.

Subspace rifts were forcibly torn open, from which countless demons surged forth.

The battlefield of Macurag at this moment is far more chaotic and brutal than the previous battlefield of Galun.

The density and number of demons in the short term are even comparable to those of the Zerg.

"For the Empire!"

"Fire! Fire!"

A tidal wave of Chaos cultists, entangled with demons, launched a fierce attack on Macragge.

High-energy rays, bullets, and shells bombarded the shields and metal barriers, leaving behind numerous severe damage.

Chaos Warband Space Marines either mingled with the demon army or had already infiltrated Macragge, carrying out precise bombings of various strongholds.

While the Chaos army outside the city was dangerous, the Chaos Space Marines hidden inside the city posed an even greater threat.

"Damn it, those traitors!"

"Open fire! Kill them!"

Chaos Space Marines are swift in action and can easily withstand bullets from mortals with their bare bodies, steadily launching surprise attacks.

"We need backup!"

"Damn it, the bullets are useless!" the Astronaut soldiers roared in terror and rage.

"Activate the macro cannons and bombard them!"

The cannon fire from the city walls poured down at the feet of the Chaos Space Marines, and violent explosions tore the earth apart.

However, these Chaos Space Marines were extremely scattered, and the defenders' already dwindling heavy firepower was simply insufficient to cover them all.

Space Marines are elite combat units, and these heavy artillery pieces are only effective against dense groups of Chaos cultists and weak demons.

Within the city of Macurag, only a few dozen Ultramarines remained as Space Marines; the rest of the fighting force was stationed at Hera Keep.

Faced with the Chaos Space Marines' offensive, this number of troops was like a drop in the ocean.

How many Chaos Space Marines are there? Thousands, even tens of thousands.

The number of Chaos believers and demons is in the millions.

At this moment, the player general arrives in front of a city gate defense line.

"You, go over there and guard the side corridor. Don't let the demons and believers get around to the rear."

"Who are you?"

"How did we end up here?" a Star Legion commander asked, looking surprised.

"I don't have time to explain, just do as I say."

"Either you obey, or I'll beat you until you obey."

While the commander of the Astral Army was still hesitating, Chaos Space Marines had already broken through the defenses and entered the fray.

He grabbed a Star Guardian soldier by the neck, lifted him high, and let out a chilling, sinister laugh: "Spit out that false emperor, and you will have everything."

"Eternal life, endless joy."

The Chaos Space Marines forced the Astronauts to blaspheme the Emperor.

The soldier's face was filled with fear.

"No—no!"

"A chaotic traitor!"

"ah-!"

The captured Astragalus soldier desperately pulled the trigger, but the bullets struck the Chaos Space Marine's armor, only scattering sparks and having no effect.

The general vanished from his spot, his spacecraft behind him accelerating his movements, before severing the Chaos Space Marine's arm with a single sword strike.

"Ugh—!"

The Chaos Space Marine let out a piercing scream.

How is this possible?

How long has it been since he felt pain?

Hundreds of years? Or thousands of years?

Several Chaos Space Marines had already charged close. The general's ion-splitting blade popped out from his wrist, and with a flash of blue light, the men fell dead to the ground.

The player general looked down at the Chaos Space Marine and said coldly, "Spit out your corrupt god, and I might spare your life."

"That's amazing!"

The surviving soldiers watched in shock as the player army easily slaughtered several Space Marines.

"Be careful!"

The Astral Legion Commander cried out in alarm—a Chaos Space Marine had circled behind the general, his chainsaw axe slashing down at his neck.

Sparks flew as the chainsaw axe cleaved behind the general, yet it couldn't break through the human body.

For the first time in countless years, this Chaos Space Marine under Tzeentch's command felt confused and bewildered.

"That's interesting."

"Nurgle, Tzeentch, Khorne—they've all come?"

"That was quite sudden."

Just as the general was about to retaliate, the space soldier suddenly teleported away and reappeared a hundred meters away.

"Psionic teleportation?"

Only this kind of ability can bypass minimap detection.

As for danger perception, one must first experience a crisis before one can perceive it.

The players are now all mechanical humanoids. Although they have lost their psionic abilities, they are extremely familiar with the psionic spells of the Chaos Space Marines.

The Chaos cultivator under Tzeentch's command said with some curiosity, "Strange being, you have no soul, yet your body is harder than steel."

"but----"

The sound of something cutting through the air rang out.

An ion blade cleaved him in two from head to toe from top to bottom.

He is the general's partner, a player corporal.

"General, what was he just mumbling about?"

"Who knows, as long as it's played well, that's enough."

"General, will you really spare him?"

The player general glanced at the heavily wounded Astral Army soldiers around him and said calmly, "I said I'd spare his life if I was in a good mood."

"But right now, I'm in a terrible mood."

He looked at the commander of the Astral Legion.

The commander immediately snapped out of his daze and frantically shouted, "Guard both corridors!"

The general and corporal, two beta testers, held their ground, and the Astral Army soldiers finally witnessed the terrifying combat power of these two reinforcements.

In just ten minutes, thousands of demons died, and over a hundred Chaos Space Marines perished under the two men's ion-splitting blades.

Lasers roared across the battlefield, instantly melting away the demon's armor and body.

"Awesome, I can finally get laser treatment without any worries."

The slain Chaos Demon transformed into a massive amount of energy, which flowed into the Psionic Furnace, providing the two with a continuous and inexhaustible power source.

"General, the enemy is growing stronger!"

The number is so large it's despairing.

"Requesting backup!"

At this moment, the general and his corporal's battle group arrived to provide support, and the other open beta players also arrived one after another. The mechanical humanoid appeared on the battlefield, protecting countless ordinary civilians behind it.

Players acted like precise scalpels, tearing open gaps in the chaotic army, which were then gradually wiped out by human soldiers, the Astral Army, and temporary conscripts.

The beta testers are androids, which look no different from humans but are mechanical in nature, while the open beta testers are silver-white mechanical humanoids.

"Iron Man?"

"He's an Iron Man!"

The human defenders all looked terrified.

The moment the Iron Man appeared, Macragge lost its reason for existence under the imperial law and should be completely destroyed. This is an ironclad law that the empire has upheld for millennia and is unshakable.

This star system still has a sliver of hope only because it is the home planet of the Iron Men; but if the Iron Men cannot be eliminated, the Extinction Order will be issued.

They were terrified, but the arrival of the Iron Army halted the Chaos Demons' offensive.

"You—you're an Iron Man too?"

The regimental commander looked at the general in horror.

The fact that the player general could withstand the chainsaw and could pop out an ion splitting blade meant his identity had been exposed.

This strongman, who is just like a human, is the Iron Man.

The terrified soldiers quickly retreated.

Iron Man, you're so scared you're crying!

I don't know!

"General, the Empire is extremely hostile to mechanical humanoids."

The two men could see the fear and rejection of the defending soldiers.

The player corporal knew the rules of the Warhammer world well: "Our current bodies are, in the eyes of the Empire, already sworn to death."

"What should we do then?"

A Titan sets foot on the battlefield in the distance.

"Titan!"

"What should we do?" The Astral Legion Commander asked, his face filled with terror.

The commander of the Astral Legion was terrified and cried.

He has Iron Man by his side and Titans on the other.

Most of the heavy artillery within the city that could threaten the Titans has been destroyed or captured. Only a few remain.

One of the turrets, several tens of meters in size, bombarded the Titan, leaving only ripples on its protective platform from the intense barrage.

The Titan, under attack from the turret, slowly turned its body and aimed at the turret.

hum~

A ghostly light shot out, and the laser cannon in Titan's hand struck the turret, instantly destroying it.

The explosion was so violent that it could be felt even hundreds of meters away.

"That strong?"

Even the general was taken aback when he saw the Titan.

In a moment of distraction, a bomb struck the general squarely.

"What are you doing?!"

The bullet wounds carved deep grooves into his body, but they healed rapidly in an instant, restoring him to his original state. The one who launched the attack was actually a team of elite warriors that Ren had arrived with.

"Extreme Warrior?"

The attackers were none other than the elite warriors.

"Commander, what do we do now?"

Fang Yun had already noticed the Imperial troops attacking friendly forces; dozens of similar incidents had been reported from the battlefield simultaneously.

"Imperial law?"

"All players must abide by the laws of the Empire."

"I don't care about the Empire's opinion."

"Everything is done in accordance with the principles of the UN Human Rights Council."

"Anyone who attacks the League of People is a traitor—we will only give them one chance."

The general looked at the Extremis warriors and said in a deep voice, "You are ultimately the Extremis warriors who protect humanity."

"When we controlled Titus to fight, they were humanity's hope."

Before he could finish speaking, the general's thrusters roared to life, and with his extreme mobility, he instantly appeared in front of the captain, his sword piercing straight through his chest.

"I cannot let you go!"

"I'm only giving you one chance!"

"We are the Human Alliance, the Human Alliance that protects humanity."

The elite warrior captain stared intently at the general, then glanced at the hundreds of players behind him—they were fighting desperately against the Chaos Demons and rescuing their fellow Astral Army soldiers.

"Come again, and the prime minister will die."

"This is a warning."

The captain raised his hand, stopping the soldiers from moving.

He saw that behind those mechanical humanoids were a continuous stream of civilians fleeing from disaster; they were protecting humanity.

He was jolted awake by a stab from the player general.

But his eyes were full of confusion.

"Captain!" The surrounding warriors gathered around.

The severely wounded captain's voice was hoarse: "Imperial laws, or our compatriots, which is more important?"

He immediately obeyed imperial loyalty and attacked the Iron Man; but he attacked the allied forces who were saving their people.

He was lost in confusion. They adhered to Guilliman's ideals, and protecting humanity was their lifelong creed; yet they were not blind, and they had personally attacked the very person who was trying to save their comrades.

Chaos reigned, and the empire's dogma clashed with reality.

At this moment, the giant cannon in the Marauder Titan's hand began to charge, the dim red light gradually turning into a blazing white. This time, the target was the defensive line, it was them.

"They're not going to attack us, are they?"

The general asked in a slightly hoarse voice, "Can we hold out?"

"Rencai's turret was taken out in one shot, we're probably not up to the task..."

The mechanical humanoid was completely unable to withstand this power.

"General, database comparison complete—it's a Marauder-class Titan!"

"It is now using the Fire Cannon, which charges slowly but can melt the entire defensive line into a magma inferno."

"Damn it, we have to fight! We can't let him fire!"

"superior!"

Just then, a metallic giant clad in silver power armor crashed at the feet of a Marauder-class Titan, and a laser beam instantly melted through the ground beneath its feet.

The brief moment of being suspended in mid-air caused the Titan to stagger, its cannon barrel deflected, and its scorching energy instantly melted through the ground.

"Finally made it."

"A Sichuan Opera master?" The general breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the name on the minimap.

"The charge unit is really useful."

Although the brief disruption had little impact, it did interfere with their firing angle, thus saving tens of thousands of ordinary people.

Titan leaped into the air and escaped danger.

"That's quite flexible."

Titan quickly set his sights on the Sichuan Opera master.

"Be careful!"

Another metallic giant descended from the sky, its battle blade slashing down and forcefully breaking through the Titan's multi-layered force field shield.

After cutting into the close-range defense zone, a high-energy ion cannon shot pierced straight into its chest cavity, instantly melting away the multi-layered composite adamantite armor. The energy penetrated directly to the Titan's core, melting away half of its fuselage.

The metallic giant leaped down from the Titan's wreckage and looked at the Extreme Warrior: "Extreme Warrior? Son of Guilliman?"

Do you know what you just did? You turned your swords against your allies who saved you and the people of the Empire?

I acknowledge your courage and loyalty, but I never imagined that Guilliman's descendants would be so foolish!

"Who are you? Who are you?" The warrior asked as if on a solemn oath, sensing the vast and ancient energy within the other's body.

The mask was removed, revealing a face that they vaguely felt was familiar.

"Ten thousand years ago, I fought alongside Guilliman."

"My name is Felix Manus."
