Warhammer 40: Saviors Emerging from the Bottom

As he watched the headless corpse slowly fall to the ground, the image of Hograk suddenly appeared in Xiao Yi's mind.

"Compared to that guy, you're still too weak."

After saying that, he looked up at the green building deep inside the tunnel.

When the green-skinned boys saw that the terrifying human who killed their leader had noticed them, they immediately lost their will to resist and turned to enter other tunnels.

"Quick! Grab them all, don't let a single one escape!"

"Otherwise, you can expect to be fighting these aliens again next year!"

Hundreds of elite imperial troops swept past Xiao Yi and rushed toward the greenskins who were preparing to flee.

Looking at the chaotic scene in the tunnel, Xiao Yi whispered in a voice only he could hear, "This battle is much simpler than I imagined."

Compared to the Greenskins that invaded the Starport, the Greenskins in the tunnel in front of Xiao Yi were generally smaller in size.

This is probably to adapt to life underground, since if you wander around on the surface, you're likely to be wiped out by concentrated fire from the Imperial forces.

Neither their combat power nor their fighting spirit can compare with their counterparts in the sky.

If it were Greenskins invading a starport, their first reaction upon seeing humans would be to charge in and start fighting, regardless of whether they could win or not.

But these greenskins were a little different. When they discovered that humans had found their camp and launched a large-scale attack, their first reaction was not to fight back, but to try to escape.

Compared to green-skinned creatures, they are more like some kind of enlarged fart demons.

If it weren't for the green-skinned shamans using their prophetic abilities to activate a map cheat, they would never have survived for so long.

Of course, it's also possible that their long experience of fleeing has led them to subconsciously choose the most familiar way of coping when faced with danger.

However, they now have nowhere to escape!

Xiao Yi divided all his soldiers into dozens of teams and surrounded the Greenskins through the complex tunnels. To avoid alerting them, he specifically ordered the Imperial soldiers to be equipped only with laser guns that made almost no noise when firing.

There were no gunshots coming from other directions, which only proves one thing: the greenskins there have been dealt with by the Imperial forces.

Escaping is virtually impossible.

If it weren't for the sudden burst of gunfire that made the Imperial soldiers, who were groping their way forward, inexplicably anxious, they wouldn't have suddenly appeared without understanding the situation ahead.

The greens didn't even have a chance to escape; dozens of high-explosive grenades detonated in the narrow tunnel, enough to kill them all.

"Oh, what a pity."

"We did so much preparation beforehand, but when it came time to take action, we found that most of it was unnecessary."

"If I had known these green-skinned people were such useless trash, I wouldn't have rushed over here so quickly."

In order to resolve the trouble as soon as possible and free up the ground forces of Zhendan to support the war in Xinggang, Xiao Yi only stayed in Shangchao for 3 hours.

During this period, he met with Liu Dan, the first in line to succeed the Governor-General of Aurora, who was also his future father-in-law.

Due to the time constraints, the two did not have much interaction, but simply stamped the necessary documents to ensure that Xiao Yi's subsequent mobilization of the Zhen Dan ground forces was legal.

After dealing with all sorts of messy documents, Xiao Yi, along with his guards, took the transport train between the two cities and met up with Liu Qi, who was struggling with the Greenskin attack.

Liu Qi did not show particular enthusiasm towards Xiao Yi, this sudden outsider.

After holding a simple welcome party, he followed Liu Yi's instructions and gathered a group of elite soldiers who had been on the battlefield, handing them over to Xiao Yi.

Afterwards, the army commander who had been temporarily promoted went off to attend to his own business, while the group of cannon fodder left behind by the green-skinned shaman had not yet been completely cleared out.

After briefly reorganizing the troops, Xiao Yi used his psionic talent to successfully locate the Greenskins' hiding place.

The Greenskin Shaman's prophecy failed not because of some coincidence, but because a more powerful force forcibly severed its communication with the Warp during the ritual.

And the source of this power is Xiao Yi.

In other words, without him, the battle would not have been won so easily.

Just as Xiao Yi was reviewing the problems that arose during the command, the captain of the assault team stepped forward and reported: "Sir, the casualties of this raid have been tallied. Of the 3000 Imperial soldiers who participated in the operation, 72 were killed and 201 were wounded, including 11 seriously wounded who are unlikely to survive."

"The casualties were within my expectations and are acceptable."

"The soldiers must thoroughly clean every corner of the battlefield and confirm that there are no signs of life about three centimeters below the ground before they can withdraw."

"I don't want a bunch of new green sardines to sprout up in the ground around this time next year."

"Yes, sir! I will check carefully to ensure that there are no problems at any stage."

"Okay, go ahead." Xiao Yi nodded and sheathed the power sword in his hand, which had shut down the tearing force field.

The rest can be left to the soldiers. Having dealt with the greens for so long, they know exactly how to handle these troublesome corpses.

The logistics soldiers, carrying flamethrowers, burned the green-skinned corpse and the surrounding ground again and again.

Only after confirming that there were no surviving organisms in the soil about 3 centimeters below their feet did they rejoin the main group and evacuate.

They then joined the main force in their evacuation.

The view from the upper nest always feels somewhat out of place, while the view from the middle and lower nests instantly returns to normal.

The dim environment, where the electric lights couldn't fully illuminate the space, allowed Xiao Yi to rediscover the feeling of Bakda's Nest City.

The residents here are no different from those in Bakta; they wear clothes made of various synthetic materials and eat corpse starch blocks and other unappetizing industrial foods.

However, due to the existence of the neighboring agricultural world, their food supply is relatively more abundant.

The territory of Cindan was the largest among the several imperial worlds.

Besides the capital planet under Xiao Yi's feet, it also includes an agricultural planet dedicated to growing food, an undeveloped feudal planet, and a somewhat miniature nesting planet.

If Xiao Yi can find a way to take them all down, he will gain the qualification to unify the entire Far East Star Region.

How to achieve one's goals without resorting to force is a question that deserves serious consideration.

Unless all of Liu Yi's male heirs are killed, Xiao Yi will not be able to obtain the title of Governor-General of Zhen Dan smoothly.

"Forget it, let's deal with this kind of troublesome thing later."

Xiao Yi shook his head, temporarily putting these complicated questions aside. Next, he would return to Shangchao to meet his marriage partner, whom he had never met before.
