Warhammer 40: Saviors Emerging from the Bottom

At Xiao Yi's signal, a dozen guards who had been hiding around the corner came out.

They heard the entire conversation clearly.

To avoid any misunderstanding with the troops in front of them, everyone consciously put away their weapons.

Liu Bang glanced at the group, almost everyone of them wounded, and tentatively asked, "Over at the banquet hall?"

"Everything's been resolved. What's the situation inside now?"

"I'm not sure, we haven't gone in yet."

"And who are they?"

Following Xiao Yi's gaze, Liu Bang turned to look at the troops behind him.

"They were the sheriffs responsible for maintaining order in Shangchao, but for some reason they entered the governor's mansion."

Normally, sheriffs were not allowed to enter the governor's residence.

What they can do, the governor's private army can do too, and their loyalty is more reliable.

This unexpected turn of events is thanks to Aetheril and his Slaanesh Order.

To prevent any mishaps during the welcoming ceremony for Xiao Yi, Liu Dan specially arranged for a group of elite security officers to help maintain order.

After completing their mission, they should have returned to their posts and continued working.

However, the newly appointed Slaanesh cult members were not very clear about the procedures and accidentally let the sheriff into the governor's mansion.

After randomly dropping them off somewhere, the Slaanesh followers hurriedly left.

He was busy with the rebellion and had no time to deal with these guys who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere.

Without guidance, the sheriff dared not wander off and could only stay put and wait for orders.

They were encountered by Liu Bang, who had escaped from the banquet hall.

As the son of the governor and chief security officer, Liu Bang had the power to mobilize all security forces in Chaodu.

Upon meeting more than three hundred sheriffs, he immediately ordered them to escort him to seek reinforcements.

The guards in the banquet hall had already proven with their lives that light weapons like laser guns were of no use to his deranged niece.

To eliminate the enemy, we need to switch to more powerful weapons, and only the governor's private army has such things.

But plans can't keep up with changes. When Liu Bang was halfway there, an explosion suddenly came from the military camp, followed by news of a rebellion.

This situation left him in a dilemma. Just as he was debating whether to run away, Xiao Yi appeared.

Looking at the military camp billowing black smoke not far away, Xiao Yi asked in a deep voice, "What are the personnel and weapon configurations inside?"

"have no idea."

Liu Bang shook his head. If you asked him about the number of security officers and their weaponry in Shangchao, he could answer without even thinking.

But this question did indeed touch upon a blind spot in his knowledge.

What exactly is the situation with the Governor's private army?

Only the governor himself and his successors know the truth.

Seeing that he couldn't get any useful information out of him, Xiao Yi decided not to waste any more time there.

Just as he lifted his leg to continue walking forward, Liu Bang suddenly reached out and blocked his way.

"What's the matter?"

Looking at the young nobleman in front of him, Xiao Yi frowned slightly. He hated people who suddenly appeared and blocked his way.

"I noticed he was still wearing Liu Dan's ring. If he showed this ring, which represents his status as the governor's successor, most officers would have laid down their weapons."

"This can reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble."

Xiao Yi looked in the direction Liu Bang was pointing and saw a blood-stained ring in his line of sight.

"I just thought it was valuable, so I picked it up."

Kairos pulled the ring off his hand and threw it to Xiao Yi.

As a scavenger from the dead world of Vorn, Kylos enjoys collecting things that look valuable.

This ring, which can activate the banquet hall's switch, contains many intricate parts; disassembling it could fetch a considerable sum of money.

"I'll go with you. A ring alone won't convince the officers in the camp. You also need this face and my surname."

Liu Bang reached out and poked his own face.

"What's your name?"

"Liu Bang".

Upon hearing those two words, Xiao Yi froze on the spot.

"Is the Liu Bang you're talking about the same Liu Bang I'm thinking of?"

Which one are you thinking of?

Xiao Yi used his spiritual energy to quickly write down the name he had in mind in the air.

"That's right, that's my name." Liu Bang looked at the two characters that suddenly appeared in the air with some surprise and nodded.

"How should I put your name?"

"What's wrong?"

"It's hard to give a proper evaluation. My suggestion is to change the name if you have the time."

Having reached an agreement, the two wasted no time and immediately ran towards the military camp.

Those sheriffs who finally managed to find their superiors were abandoned again.

"What should we do now?"

"If all else fails, let's follow them!"

"But with so many, won't we be seen as traitors?"

"You're wandering around the governor's mansion with a weapon; won't you be considered a traitor? Don't forget, a sheriff shouldn't be here."

"With the Chief Sheriff's guarantee, the worst we'll get is dismissal."

Once they understood this, the more than 300 sheriffs present immediately followed.

Upper Nest is a gathering place for nobles, and those who can serve as sheriffs in this place are usually from good families.

Noblemen would not tolerate a commoner of lowly birth criticizing their behavior.

With the support of his family and Liu Bang's guarantee, there shouldn't be any major problems.

Inside the military camp, the soldiers, unwilling to die like this, looked at their former comrades who were laughing wildly and whose mental state was clearly not quite right, and felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

They couldn't understand why they were being attacked.

We were training together not long ago, but now we're fighting for our lives here.

They worship evil gods and betray the emperor.

How could anyone believe such a ridiculous reason?

Judging from the current situation, it's those guys on the other side who are acting strangely.

"I'll fight to the death! Even if I die, I'll take ten of them with me!" A bald soldier with an injured arm gritted his teeth and got up, wanting to die together with the enemies rushing at him.

But as soon as he peeked out, a 7.92mm bullet precisely pierced his skull.

Malcolm, seeing his target dead through the scope of the Pardoner sniper rifle, wore a cruel smile.

"The eleventh."

The eerie voice sent chills down the spines of the other officers around them. They all felt that their superior was somewhat different from before, but they couldn't quite put their finger on what was different.

Even after the rebellion had been launched as planned, "Malcolm" still tried his best to play the role of Malcolm.

Everything he's doing now is perfectly in line with his public persona.

Just as he pulled back the bolt, preparing to take out his twelfth target, a commotion broke out on the flank of the camp.

"What's going on?" Malcolm turned his gun around, ready to see what was happening.

A young nobleman holding a ring was seen shouting something to the surrounding soldiers.

The forcibly inserted memory made Malcolm recognize the ring in the other person's hand, making him clearly aware of its meaning.

We must not let that guy hinder the cult's plans.

With that thought in mind, he twitched his finger slightly and pulled the trigger of the Pardoner sniper rifle.
