Warhammer 40: Saviors Emerging from the Bottom

"Your Excellency!" The adjutant crossed his arms and gave Xiao Yi the Imperial Eagle salute.

Seeing the other person's serious expression, Xiao Yi tentatively asked, "Is there something you need?"

As the governor's closest subordinate, the adjutant wouldn't be running around aimlessly; he must have some purpose in coming here.

"Congratulations on successfully completing your mission and destroying the alien's traction device. What I'm about to say involves some classified information, so could you please...?"

Valerian understood immediately.

"I have other things to do, you guys talk first."

After saying that, he turned and left.

The adjutant glanced at the departing figure, and after confirming that the other party would not hear what he was about to say, he spoke up: "Several nests in Zhen Dan have encountered some trouble, and Lord Liu Yi hopes that you can help resolve it."

"Troublesome?" Xiao Yi looked at the middle-aged man opposite him, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

Just as news of victories was pouring in from the Starport battlefield, a small problem arose in the Nest City below.

The cunning greenskins, possessing prophetic abilities, led a small elite force and secretly bypassed the Imperial army's defenses through underground tunnels.

Initially, Liu Qi, the supreme commander in charge of fighting the Greenskins on the surface of Zhen Dan, did not notice anything unusual. He just felt that in the past few days, for some unknown reason, the Greenskins had suddenly become much easier to deal with.

Just when he thought everything was over and the aliens were about to be wiped out, bad news suddenly came from the weakly defended Nest City.

Large numbers of green-skinned soldiers suddenly emerged from underground, attempting to attack various arsenals that produce weapons and ammunition.

In order to improve production efficiency and supply more weapons and ammunition to the front lines, Liu Yi ordered the construction of warehouses near various arsenals to store raw materials.

The dangerous materials stored in these warehouses have now become accomplices of the Greenskins, as their presence allows them to complete sabotage missions with exceptional efficiency.

To prevent things from getting worse, Liu Qi immediately dispatched an elite force to try to intercept the Greenskin elites who were launching continuous attacks.

Because they are causing trouble on human territory, these green-skinned creatures have no way to hide their whereabouts. As soon as they appear, they are immediately targeted.

So under normal circumstances, it wouldn't be difficult to catch them, but since Xiao Yi received a request for help from his adjutant, it proves that things are not as simple as they seem.

He prayed to Brother Mao, who summoned Holak to the green-skinned shaman of Zhen Dan, and began his divine prophecy again.

The Imperial army had nowhere to hide from it. Every time they received news and rushed to the scene of the attack, the Greenskins had already left, leaving only ruins everywhere.

This kind of thing isn't obvious once or twice, but it gets a bit strange when it happens repeatedly.

If facing other aliens, Liu Qi might consider whether there was a traitor within his ranks who was tipping them off.

But now they have to face a bunch of green-skinned guys who only know how to fight.

To date, there is no information indicating that the Orks can communicate with humans, at least not according to records from the surrounding Imperial worlds.

However, just to be on the safe side, Liu Qi still conducted a thorough search, but found nothing in the end.

After several days of torment, Liu Qi could no longer endure it and had no choice but to ask the governor for reinforcements again.

He wanted to use his overwhelming numerical superiority to spread a wide net and search all the areas where the Greens might be hiding.

In the face of absolute power, no skill is of any use.

After receiving the report, Liu Yi held a meeting with his mechanical sages and alien scholars for half a day to discuss it, and finally decided to reject Liu Qi's opinion.

The fact that the battle situation in Starport is stable and improving does not mean that he can transfer a large number of people back to defend Zhen Dan. There are still a large number of Greenskins on the battle moon, and they may launch an attack at any time.

Moreover, as the situation stabilizes, the imperial troops that came to support will gradually leave, and he may not even have enough manpower at that time, let alone transfer a group of elite soldiers to Liu Qi.

After gathering several generals and thinking about solutions for a long time, Liu Yi realized that under the current circumstances, it was impossible to simultaneously defend both the Chinese mainland and the Starport.

Just as he was preparing to sacrifice some of the Imperial people to hold off the Greenskins and buy himself time, the Aurora General, who had previously commanded the battle in which Hograk was killed, thought of Xiao Yi.

Since that green-skinned army's actions are extremely illogical, why don't we just send an illogical guy like them?

Anyway, the governor has already agreed to marry Miss Liu Ying to him, so it shouldn't be too much to ask him to make some contributions to Aurora.

If all else fails, you can pay more.

Compared to Bactria, which has gradually deteriorated for various reasons, Aurora is still wealthy.

At first, Liu Yi disagreed, but after being persuaded by others, he eventually changed his mind.

This not only allows Xiao Yi to demonstrate his strength in front of the Zhen Dan nobles and help Liu Yi stabilize the situation, but it also provides an opportunity for him to meet his fiancée in advance and get to know her better.

Political marriages also require a certain level of affection; otherwise, how could two strangers possibly accomplish the task of assisting two empires in cooperating?

However, under normal circumstances, the only way for the two parties in a marriage to maintain their relationship is through their children.

Of course, the adjutant wouldn't reveal all of Liu Yi's thoughts; he only mentioned the important ones.

"Okay, let me tidy up a bit."

Xiao Yi agreed without much thought. Anyway, he had nothing to do, so taking a stroll downstairs wouldn't hurt; he could treat it as a vacation.

I've heard that the hive capital of Cindan is somewhat different from the hive capitals of other empires.

The "tidying up" that Xiao Yi mentioned did not refer to dressing up or tidying clothes, but rather to gathering the guard team that had just been replenished, counting their numbers, and checking their weapons and equipment.

He could not possibly travel to the capital of China alone.

The intense battles that followed resulted in heavy casualties among the guards responsible for protecting Xiao Yi, and now most of the people standing in front of him are newcomers.

There were veterans from Bakdad and wild chemists from Vaughn.

However, the majority of them were knights from Vornheim.

They were all warriors who voluntarily joined the fight, inspired by Xiao Yi's heroic figure on the battlefield.

Unlike ordinary governor's guards, they might be on the front lines if war breaks out again.

Everyone knew this was possible, but no one wanted to back down.

Some of them even followed Xiao Yi because they believed that following him would allow them to die a glorious death on the battlefield.

After confirming that there were no problems, Xiao Yi and his group, led by their adjutant, arrived at the Upper Nest of Zhen Dan via the space elevator.

"Is this where the noble lords live? This is my first time here."

"Shut up, you little brat, you want to die?"

Upon seeing the magnificent building before them, the eyes of all the guards widened in astonishment.

Some of them had seen the Upper Nest of their own Empire's world capital, but compared to what lay before them, the difference was too great.

Looking at the extremely retro Eastern-style architecture in front of him, Xiao Yi was momentarily dazed, wondering if he had stumbled into some kind of large theme park.
