Warhammer 40: Saviors Emerging from the Bottom

As it turns out, having extra backup plans when you have nothing else to do can sometimes have unexpected results.

Theodore used his reputation, which he had built up over the years, to contact many soldiers who were dissatisfied with Corrae's rule.

These people were among the few clear-headed individuals in the noble alliance.

After they started, the entire camp was left with only madmen and terrified cowards.

The elite troops that were originally able to easily crush the garrison of the city have become like cockroaches that scatter in all directions when startled, collapsing at the slightest touch on the battlefield.

Their efforts only made the already dire situation worse.

At that very moment, Corra, who was nominally the supreme commander, disappeared.

No one knows where she went.

It's unclear whether she knew the fate of the noble alliance and fled in advance, or if she had other plans.

Given the current situation, the garrison of Chaodu should seize the opportunity to take down the enemy in one fell swoop.

But out of caution, they waited patiently for two days.

After confirming that the enemy had no other preparations, Xiao Yi gave the order to attack.

The six captured Leman Rustams served as the vanguard, ramming open the camp gates.

The cannon barrels and mounted machine guns continuously spewed fire, reaping the enemies before them.

The soldiers following behind used their cover to slowly advance.

Leading the way was the Power Armor Company, which had undergone several days of intensive training.

Seeing the approaching garrison of the hive capital, the hedonist, who was already like a walking corpse, picked up his weapon and began a final struggle.

"Die, you traitor!"

Redmond raised his explosive pistol, aimed at the enemy, and began a bloody massacre.

The extra strength provided by power armor allows ordinary people to withstand the recoil from a bomb gun firing without injury.

The muffled explosions echoed across the battlefield, each shell leaving a trail of brilliant flame.

The fragile flesh was torn apart in an instant, and the delayed fuse triggered an explosion.

With a bang, the enemy's chest cavity rapidly expanded.

Immediately, a cloud of blood mist mixed with bone fragments and flesh dust exploded, and the hit enemy was split in two and crashed backward like a broken puppet.

This was just the beginning. Redmond pressed down hard on the muzzle, making sure he didn't miss.

Each hit mercilessly takes away a life.

Almost none of the enemies lying on the ground were intact.

In just over ten seconds, the magazine of the bomb gun was emptied.

Taking advantage of the enemy's moment of reloading, the noble alliance launched a counterattack, firing bullets that struck the tank's armor with a crisp sound.

These lightweight weapons, capable of easily tearing through the fragile human body, pose no threat to Leman Rustank.

They couldn't even leave a mark on the opponent's thick armor.

Tanks, artillery, rocket launchers, and other heavy firepower weapons would be immediately attacked by Xiao Yi's psionic energy once they appeared on the battlefield.

After several unsuccessful attempts, the allied forces had no choice but to abandon the idea and instead resort to the purest form of combat—hand-to-hand combat.

Unfortunately, his enemies had no intention of giving up their advantage.

Shortly after the tanks stormed into the Allied camp, gunfire also erupted from deep within the camp.

Theodore, leading his turned soldiers, began using his laser guns to purify those who had betrayed the Chaos Gods.

Caught between two forces, the noble alliance's hopes of victory dwindled, and some clear-headed individuals, sensing the danger, immediately fled into the depths of the residential area.

But some still tried to fight back in their death throes, strapping bombs to their bodies and launching a suicide charge towards Leman Rustank at the forefront.

The tank's machine guns and the soldiers behind it unleashed a hail of bullets at the group.

Soon, the original group of more than twenty people was reduced to only three people who could barely stand.

They dragged their mangled bodies as they gradually approached Leman Rustank before them.

A pale green arc of electricity shot out from the rear of the group, striking three survivors. The flames from the detonator ignited an even more powerful chemical substance.

After a loud bang, the three people were reduced to fragments of various shapes and scattered in all directions.

After an hour of fierce fighting, the Chau garrison finally took control of the camp.

"My lord, apart from the nobles who fled beforehand, everyone else is here."

Theodore knelt on one knee and reported to Xiao Yi with the utmost respect the efforts he had made over the past few days.

The miniature bomb near his heart meant that Xiao Yi had his life firmly in his grasp.

If he harbors any disrespectful thoughts, he will die a gruesome death, just like those three special fireworks.

Theodo's heart pounded even harder with his inner fear.

Xiao Yi ignored the man in front of him, walked around him, and went to the group of high-ranking noblemen.

"You'd better let me go, or else..."

The sound of the bomb being fired drowned out the last few words, and the nobleman who had originally wanted to use his status to gain preferential treatment was turned into a headless corpse.

White brain matter mixed with blood splattered on the other nobles, causing them to scream in agony.

"No, don't kill me. Power, money, or women—whatever you want, I'll give you."

Another gunshot rang out, and seeing Xiao Yi's expressionless face, several timid nobles immediately went weak in the knees and knelt on the ground.

"Please, I don't want to die, please give me another chance!"

"Forgiving you is the Emperor's business; my only responsibility is to take you to see him."

"Take care of them."

The soldiers, who were initially somewhat wary of his noble status, felt much more at ease after seeing Xiao Yi's demonstration.

Nobles are human too; they die if they lose their heads.

So after hesitating for a moment, they raised their carbines and dealt with these unforgivable traitors.

"You have completed your mission, and I will, as agreed, have Sage Dominic remove the satellite bomb from your heart."

Upon hearing this, Theodore finally felt relieved. He prostrated himself on the ground and said excitedly, "Thank you, my lord. It is an honor to serve you."

"But there's one more thing I need your help with before that."

"Please feel free to give your orders, sir."

"Gather all the soldiers who have abandoned darkness for light, and I will honor them."

The battlefield has not yet been cleared, and small groups of rebels are still roaming the residential areas. It is clearly problematic to hold so-called commendations at this time.

But Theodore couldn't care less about that now; he wasn't noble enough to give up his life for a group of complete strangers.

Is a person loyal to the emperor?

Xiao Yi couldn't tell, since he couldn't read everyone's memories.

But he could see clearly whether the other party had betrayed the emperor. Many who plunged into chaos had no idea what they were doing at first.

After spending so much time in a camp full of cultists, it's impossible not to be affected at all; those with strong wills are ultimately a minority.

Xiao Yi didn't want any hidden bombs around him that could blow him up at any moment, so it was better to carefully examine the noble private soldiers who were surrendering.
