Warhammer 40: Saviors Emerging from the Bottom

Chapter 128 Initiating a Rebellion

Accompanied by wails that sent shivers down the spines of mortals, Aetheril was banished to the Warp.

Because she left in such a hurry, she didn't even have time to say anything.

After losing his soul, all that remained in front of Xiao Yi was an empty shell pierced through by the power sword.

Only then did his fiancée's true face appear before him.

A girl who looks very well-behaved.

"May the Emperor bless us!"

Although her soul had already been devoured by Aetheril, Xiao Yi still offered a prayer for her.

After pulling the power sword from her body, Xiao Yi reached out and released a burst of spiritual energy flames onto Liu Ying's body, burying her in peace.

"Governor, are you alright?"

Seeing that the battle had been decided, the guards who had been hiding immediately surrounded them.

Xiao Yi's sixty-six wounds were bleeding continuously. Although he felt fine, the blood-stained dress still made others worry.

"I'm fine. Please check if anyone is still alive."

Looking at the corpses scattered on the ground, Xiao Yi felt his head buzzing. He didn't know how to explain what had happened here.

Should I just tell Liu Yi that there's a perverted Slaanesh demon who doesn't want me to get married, so he killed your whole family?

"Sigh, I'm really speechless."

Just then, an unfamiliar voice rang out from behind Xiao Yi: "Sir, is there anything we can do?"

Turning around, I saw it was the captain of the guards who had made wild guesses about the situation in the banquet hall, leading to the guards attacking their own troops.

Xiao Yi certainly wouldn't give this guy a friendly look.

But now is the time when we need manpower, so killing him directly wouldn't be a good idea.

In the end, Xiao Yi could only coldly tell the other party to handle the corpses in the banquet hall.

He then took the remaining able-bodied guards and went to find communication equipment to tell Liu Yi everything that had happened.

Whether the other party believes it or not, this is the truth.

If Liu Yi believes it, things will be a little easier from here on out.

If they didn't believe him and held him accountable for this, Xiao Yi would have no choice but to flee with his guards.

With his abilities, returning to Starport shouldn't be difficult.

After Xiao Yi left the banquet hall, he realized that the situation was not as simple as he had imagined.

At this time, part of Shangchao had already become a battlefield.

Slaanesh followers and their puppets are launching continuous attacks on the die-hards who are stubbornly resisting in the military camp.

After Aetherel replaced Liu Ying as Xiao Yi's fiancée, she has been trying to infiltrate high-ranking members of the Slaanesh Cult into the Empire's army.

Using Liu Ying's identity and Slaanesh's abilities, she replaced several officers in important positions within just two days.

Their souls were extracted and fed to Aetherial's longsword, while their remaining bodies were possessed by Slaanesh cultists.

Because the replacement was recent and the chosen Slaanesh followers were skilled in deduction, no one noticed their unusual behavior for a while.

Even today, Aetheril has issued the order to raid the noble mansion and completely seize control of Upper Nest.

These actors then reclaimed their identities and attempted to purge the military officers who were unwilling to obey them.

However, being able to play the role of a high-ranking military officer well does not mean that they possess the same military capabilities as their counterparts.

Problems arose as soon as the operation began; a leak of information led to infighting within the military.

The Slaanesh followers replaced high-ranking officers and had far more troops than the resistance fighters, in addition to the covert assistance of the Slaanesh cult.

Even a useless person with no command experience can take down the opponent through a fierce attack.

However, they never imagined that Aetherel, who orchestrated all of this, had already been banished back to the Warp.

Without the support of Slaanesh, the rebellion will be quelled sooner or later.

Even the Slaanesh Cult, which participated in this operation, may not survive the subsequent attacks.

Charles looked at the direction from which the firelight was rising in the distance, a troubled expression on his face.

"What do we do now?"

"Let's try to help quell the rebellion. Our own home has been attacked, and the soldiers on the front lines probably don't have the will to continue fighting."

The support troops led by Xiao Yi made up for the shortage of troops in Liu Yi's hands to a certain extent.

However, by the time Xiao Yi left Starport, the frontline soldiers were still mainly locals from Aurora.

If they knew that their home had been robbed while they were fighting desperately at the front, they would definitely try to persuade their superiors to withdraw their troops and return to the capital to quell the rebellion.

If, at this moment, the four green-skinned warlords, still locked in a chaotic battle, suddenly had a change of heart and joined forces to invade Starport again, the entire Aurora would completely collapse under the combined attack from above and below.

Moreover, this matter is related to Xiao Yi, so he has no reason to ignore it.

After making the decision, Xiao Yi led his guards and rushed towards the nearest battlefield.

The streets of the Governor's Palace are intricate and complex; it's easy to get lost without a guide.

Fortunately, Xiao Yi had his own radar navigation system, and every passable route was clearly marked in his field of vision.

"Attention everyone, there is a force of about 300 ahead. It is currently uncertain whether they are friend or foe."

Upon being alerted, everyone immediately went into battle mode, with soldiers holding laser guns pulling back the safety and aiming the muzzles at the corner ahead.

The Warnheim Knights, responsible for melee combat, activated the energy shields on their armor and stood at the forefront of the team, acting as cover for their teammates.

The heavy footsteps also alerted the troops at the front.

When the group reached the corner, Xiao Yi raised his hand to signal the group to stop.

"Wait for my command."

He then went out alone.

Judging from the uniforms of the troops at the front, they should not be regular troops, because Xiao Yi had never seen such uniforms on the front lines before.

"Who are you?" The deep voice conveyed a strong sense of distrust.

If Xiao Yi takes another step forward, the more than three hundred live-fire carbines in front of him will immediately fire.

Just as tensions were rising, a somewhat urgent voice came from behind the unfamiliar troops.

"We're on the same side, we're on the same side, please don't lay a hand on us."

Having escaped the banquet hall to seek help, Liu Bang squeezed through the crowd and appeared before Xiao Yi.

"I now order you to lay down your weapons in the name of the Chief Sheriff of Nest City."

Upon hearing this order, the officials behind Liu Bang exchanged glances, unsure of what to do.

When Liu Bang saw that his men were disobeying his orders, his face immediately darkened.

"What? You want to rebel too?"

The charge of rebellion was unbearable even for the most illustrious nobles of Upper Nest, let alone them.

Seeing that Xiao Yi was alone and showed no hostility, the more than 300 sheriffs eventually chose to obey their superiors' orders and lay down their weapons.

Liu Bang finally felt relieved.

In the banquet hall, he witnessed the battle between Xiao Yi and Aetherel, and clearly felt what the purest numerical values ​​meant.

If Xiao Yi is truly angered, no one will be able to escape.
