Warhammer 40: Saviors Emerging from the Bottom

With the retreat of the Greenskins, the war came to a temporary end, and the Imperial army began to emerge from the trenches to scavenge any usable supplies.

The previously abandoned guns and ammunition, as well as various kinds of trash that could be used as cover.

As for the Greenskins' weapons?

These things can only be used by them; humans don't have the "power of thought" to temporarily suppress those inexplicable bugs.

As a key figure in ending the war, Xiao Yi naturally earned the admiration of many.

Wherever he went, the surrounding soldiers would automatically make way for him.

Xiao Yi's current prestige is even higher than that of the Supreme Lord of Zhen Dan, who has ruled Zhen Dan for decades.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he met the frontline commander, General Liu Rong of the Third Army Group.

The bandage on the other person's head was stained red with blood, and his face looked somewhat pale, but his mental state was unusually excited.

This was the first victory he had witnessed since the start of the war, 20 days prior.

Although the cost to the Empire was not small, the hope it brought was far more precious than the casualties.

"My lord!" Liu Rong solemnly performed a standard Imperial Eagle salute to Xiao Yi, having already learned of the other party's identity from the arriving commander.

It's hard to imagine that the Empire's governor would personally charge to the front lines of the battlefield and achieve such incredible results.

He couldn't think of any words to describe the man in front of him, who looked about the same age as his grandson, whose formidable strength seemed inhuman.

Could he be the offspring of some god?

The thought of this possibility made Liu Rong's body tremble with excitement.

Of course, he also knew that the possibility was extremely slim.

"What's the casualty situation?" Xiao Yi asked calmly.

Upon hearing this question, Liu Rong's excitement vanished instantly, replaced by an expression of unspeakable bitterness.

"The aliens' relentless attack has resulted in a 40% casualty rate among frontline soldiers. This is just a rough estimate; the actual figure would be even higher if statistics were compiled."

"The only way to hold this place is to forcibly conscript new soldiers from the hive city, but these guys, who have never received any military training, are lucky if their legs don't go weak when faced with the crazed aliens. Expecting them to win a war..."

Liu Rong didn't finish his sentence, but Xiao Yi could guess what he wanted to say. Without external interference, the Greens were almost certain to win.

Xiao Yi didn't know how to comfort the other person, so he could only reach out and pat him on the shoulder.

Everything will be alright.

"I hope so!"

Just then, a mechanical priest carrying a radio appeared out of nowhere.

"General, the Governor-General has sent an order requiring you to arrange a meeting between Sir John Bacchus and him as soon as possible."

"Understood, I'll make the arrangements."

After saying that, Liu Rong turned to Xiao Yi and said, "Please forgive my rudeness. There are still many things waiting for me to deal with, so I can't stay here with you any longer. Please rest here for a while, and I will arrange for someone to take you to the hidden command post located below the starport."

Xiao Yi nodded, indicating that there was no problem.

"You don't need to worry about us, just take care of your own things."

Liu Rong then left with his adjutant, while Xiao Yi and the others found a corner to rest temporarily.

Even with his protection, his men still suffered casualties.

Of the 50 guards who charged alongside Charles, only 43 survived; the seven warriors fell into eternal slumber on the battlefield between humans and aliens.

The rest of the people were almost all injured, and if they were not treated in time, they could easily become infected, leading to extremely serious consequences.

Fortunately, they had no shortage of emergency medicine for treating wounds. After a simple bandage, the guards sat on the ground and began to recall their heroic actions.

Not long after, the soldiers Liu Rong had sent to protect them and get them to the underground command post arrived.

They were more like guides than guards. Including the adjutant in charge of leading the way, there were only 10 people in total. It was unrealistic to expect them to protect you.

Guided by the other party, they returned to the cargo transfer station where the transport ship was docked.

Compared to before, this place is much more lively. Support troops from other imperial worlds are stationed here, waiting for the opportunity to go to the battlefield.

Upon seeing Xiao Yi return from the front lines, the officers in the support corps who knew him were clearly curious, but due to his status, they were hesitant to directly ask the commander-in-chief.

They could only wait until the guards beside Xiao Yi were resting and try to get some information from them.

"To get to the underground command post, you need to take a high-speed train; this supply transfer station is located underground."

"How long will it take to get there?"

"It will take about two or three hours. If the attacks by the Greenskins weren't so frequent, the Governor wouldn't have chosen to hide like a rat in a corner below the Starport." The adjutant's tone revealed a hint of helplessness.

"Send someone to inform Valerian of our itinerary and that he will temporarily command the Imperial fleet that is coming to our aid while I am away."

"Yes, sir."

Afterwards, the group followed Liu Rong's adjutant to an inconspicuous warehouse in the supply transfer station. After moving aside various messy goods, an elevator hidden in the wall came into view.

Because the maximum capacity was 20 people, Xiao Yi only brought Charles and a few guards; even B-59 did not come along.

The presence of a fully armed Casterland fighter soldier in front of another planet's governor is bound to cause the latter to have wild thoughts.

"Please enter your command."

It wasn't until he stepped into the elevator that Xiao Yi noticed a machine servant embedded in the wall. Judging from the violent cutting marks around it, it must have been installed in an emergency.

If the correct command cannot be entered, the enemy will launch an attack, destroying the elevator's descent path in the process, thus buying time for the command center to retreat.

"Praise be to the Emperor, whose sacrifice is life, and our death is an offering."

After reciting a short passage from the Emperor's Sacred Words, the adjutant put his finger into the servant's mouth and had him extract a drop of blood for genetic testing.

After confirming that the human in front of him shared the same bloodline as the governor, the seemingly dazed servant, who had been staring blankly at the floor, suddenly looked up and began scanning the other person's face with his mechanical prosthetic eye.

After comparing the adjutant's face with the photos in the database and confirming that there were no problems, the servant started the elevator.

The elevator's floor display screen has been replaced by a mechanical servant, so Xiao Yi has no way of knowing where he has descended and can only wait silently for it to reach its destination.

Ten minutes later, it finally stopped.

With a ding-dong, the elevator doors opened.

A train with distinctive mechanical features came into Xiao Yi's view.
