Warhammer 40: Saviors Emerging from the Bottom

Entering through the gap in the outer perimeter of the transport ship wreckage and then fighting your way to the engine room would be a waste of time, and no one knows what unexpected things might happen along the way.

After several hours of discussion, Xiao Yi finally decided to adopt Friedrich's suggestion and use the teleportation device to directly teleport himself and the three Astartes to the vicinity of the engine room to blow up the transport ship that was already filled with green skins.

The Greenskins' psionic signals have somewhat affected the use of the teleportation device, making it difficult to reach the power room directly.

All the Mechanicus priests could do was try to control the teleportation range to ensure that their four-man team wouldn't end up in the greenskins.

After a brief preparation, Xiao Yi and his group followed Friedrich aboard the Thunder Shadow Gunship and boarded his vehicle, the Mars Explorer. From there, they would be teleported to the transport ship.

There are no teleportation devices inside the starport. To break into the enemy's central area and carry out a decapitation strike, a high level of combat capability is required.

Only units like the Astartes or Friedrich, with their elite combat units, would choose this tactic when they want to minimize losses.

Miscellaneous forces like the Starport Garrison have no need for such high technology; they don't even have anti-teleportation devices, and they may not even know that such things exist.

The only way to complete the mission is through the teleportation device inside the Mars Explorer spacecraft.

To be honest, Xiao Yi was initially resistant to the suggestion. As everyone knows, Friedrich has always been very interested in his body, and the Mars Explorer is his territory.

If the Archsage of the Cult of Mechanics had ulterior motives and wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to do something, then things would be troublesome.

With a major battle imminent, my allies want to dissect and study me. This scenario might seem a bit abnormal in other contexts.

But within the Warhammer 40 universe, it suddenly feels much more normal.

Xiao Yi had no doubt that some brain-dead Mechanicus sages would actually do such a thing.

However, considering the absolute loyalty the other party showed to the Empire of Man when they quelled the rebellion instigated by Salona Granville.

Xiao Yi decided to give Friedrich a chance for the time being. Even if the other party's logic engine malfunctioned and caused him to do something irrational, he was confident that he could ensure his own safety.

The Gothic-class cruiser, several kilometers long, sat quietly in a corner of the starport. The Thunderhawk gunboat was nothing more than a fly in front of it.

After the mechanics responsible for piloting the ship identified themselves in binary language over the communication channel, they slowly approached the ship's hangar.

The gate slowly opened inward, revealing the vacuum isolation chamber inside.

Various docking instructions came from the Thunder Eagle gunboat's receiver. After nearly three minutes of commotion, Xiao Yi's body sank slightly, and he felt the familiar gravity.

With the sound of the gunboat's supports hitting the deck, the hatch of the Thunderhawk gunboat slowly opened.

"Let's go." Karan, who had been silent all along, got up and walked out.

Several mechanical priests, whose bodies had undergone varying degrees of modification, had been waiting there for some time.

Upon seeing Friedrich disembark from the Thunderhawk gunboat's ramp, the men instinctively lowered their heads.

"Great Sage, the teleportation device is ready."

Friedrich turned his head slightly and said, "You will be in charge of those four. Our unit has other tasks with higher priority."

"Yes, Your Excellency."

A fully automated transport vehicle equipped with a wet parts processor emerged from behind several mechanical priests. Moving quickly inside the cruiser was impossible without a vehicle.

With the help of a female mechanical priest whose body modification was not very advanced, Xiao Yi and his group boarded an automated transport vehicle and moved toward the location of the teleportation device.

The wide passageway is large enough to accommodate hundreds of people at the same time. Even the Leman Rustank can move freely in this place, let alone smaller transport vehicles.

Several servants used special cleaning devices installed on their bodies to continuously wipe the surrounding murals, which recorded Friedrich's achievements over the centuries.

Seeing that Xiao Yi was interested in this, the female mechanical priest, who was constantly transmitting passage instructions to prevent the group from being treated as outsiders, proudly introduced the story shown above to him.

"On planet MGF-56 near the Misty Starfield, we discovered a very interesting mechanical life form. Their bodies can automatically heal after being damaged. We tried to capture a few for research, but their capabilities far exceeded our expectations."

"Fortunately, the Great Sage Friedrich used a special energy device on the planet to interfere with their actions, otherwise we might very well have perished on the Golden Throne."

Looking at the green mechanical lifeforms on the mural, Xiao Yi's lips twitched involuntarily. If he wasn't mistaken, they looked like grunts of the space undead.

Planet MGF-56 was likely the territory of some space necromantic dynasty. Fortunately, Friedrich was aware of his own strength and did not risk forcibly excavating it, otherwise it is possible that everything would have remained there.

However, why doesn't the Mechanicus Archsage, who originated from Mars, recognize the Necromancers of space?

Is it because the vast majority of the Necropolis kingdoms in space are still asleep, and those that are awake cannot pose a threat to humanity for the time being, so the Mechanicus has regarded them as some kind of special mechanical life form?

This is the only guess that can explain the current situation.

Of course, this does not mean that the Mechanicus is completely ignorant of space necromancy.

Since humans left Earth and entered space, countless unfortunate individuals have unearthed sleeping space spirits.

However, these sleepy creatures did not display enough strength to frighten humans.

Along the way, Xiao Yi listened to the female mechanical priest's explanations and learned a lot about Friedrich's past experiences.

Unlike his usual human-machine demeanor, the Great Sage is actually quite humane.

Unlike the sages on Mars who only value talent, he doesn't turn unqualified apprentices into machine servants, but keeps them by his side as low-level assistants.

If an apprentice can gain recognition through hard work, they may be promoted.

However, as an explorer sage, Friedrich often ventured into extremely dangerous places, resulting in an exceptionally high mortality rate among his apprentices.

Rather than becoming emotionless zombies, the apprentices might prefer to die in the process of searching for lost technologies for the Empire.

At least that's how it seems, judging from what the female mechanic priest conveyed.
