Warhammer 40: Saviors Emerging from the Bottom

After a fierce battle, Xiao Yi's fleet temporarily repelled the Greenskins' attack. Taking advantage of this precious respite, he immediately ordered his transport ships to move all the supplies to the surface warehouses as much as possible.

He himself arrived at Starport aboard the Thunderhawk gunship aboard the Fearless Lion.

The person in charge of receiving us was a group leader. Judging from his heavy dark circles and the tired look in his eyes, he hadn't had a proper rest for a long time.

"You've finally arrived. A few days later, we would have turned into disgusting green orc poop like Richard."

As he spoke, the regimental commander fumbled in his pocket for something.

"How's the situation now?"

"What else can we do?"

Suddenly, a smile appeared on the other person's lips, and then he pulled a bent cigarette from his breast pocket.

"Found it!"

He pulled out a cheap lighter he'd made from laser gun battery parts from another pocket and lit the cigarette.

After taking a deep breath, the exhausted Starport Guard commander's expression instantly relaxed.

"The Greenskins have captured most of the strategic locations in the Starport. It won't be long before we have to retreat to the surface of the planet and engage in a war of attrition with them."

"I wonder if this planet can hold out. Forget it, let's not talk about these worrying things."

"You're quite young, kid. Which prestigious family are you from?"

Because he did not reveal his identity beforehand, the other party mistook Xiao Yi for a young master from a noble family.

To have so many servants at such a young age, and even a combat robot bodyguard, means one's family must have some influence.

Could I offend a nobleman with such a disrespectful tone?

The battalion commander in front of Xiao Yi, who was so exhausted that he was in a daze, probably didn't care about this at all. He struggled on the edge of life and death every day, and death had become numb to him.

No one else would say anything about this warrior who had dedicated himself to the empire, but Charles, who was following behind Xiao Yi, still whispered a reminder.

"This is the governor of Bakda?"

"Governor? Uh, the kind of governor I'm thinking of?"

"It should be."

The other person's droopy eyelids were immediately forcibly pulled up. He threw away the cigarette butt in his hand and gave Xiao Yi a standard Imperial Eagle salute.

"Alec Cole, commander of the 2nd Regiment, 4th Brigade, 1st Division, 3rd Army Group of the Aurora Starport Guard, greets His Excellency the Governor!"

"Don't be so nervous."

Xiao Yi reached out and patted Alec on the shoulder, saying, "Thank you for your hard work."

"For the Empire, it's all worth it!"

"Liu Yi, where are you now?"

"I don't know!" Alec answered confidently.

"Shortly after the start of the war, the command post was attacked by the Greenskins. In order to ensure that the command system would not be paralyzed, the governor ordered a relocation."

"As for where it was moved to? That's beyond the knowledge of us nobody."

"I see."

Xiao Yi turned to Dominic, who had come with him, and asked, "Could we reconnect to the previous communication channel?"

"The success rate is only 34 percent. There is a special energy field nearby that has been interfering with communication signals. Based on the data we have so far, it is very likely that the psionic energy released by the Greenskins caused all of this."

"Try it as best you can. If that doesn't work, then ask a senior local military officer."

"Understood, Your Excellency." After saying that, Dominic's logic engine began to prioritize processing this command.

Taking this opportunity, Xiao Yi began to observe Alec's men.

These young men, aged between 12 and 30, wearing somewhat ill-fitting military uniforms and carrying machine guns or carbines, looked around warily with extreme fatigue, guarding against any potential threats.

He is currently in a place far from the front lines, which can be regarded as a transit point for supplies, where large quantities of weapons, ammunition, medicines and medical supplies are stockpiled.

Many wounded soldiers who had been discharged from the battlefield received basic treatment here. After confirming that they were still fit to survive, they were sent to hospitals further back for further treatment.

So soldiers would occasionally bring wounded soldiers with broken limbs to this place on stretchers.

Just before Xiao Yi and his group arrived, a fierce battle had taken place here, as evidenced by the green-skinned corpses scattered all over the ground.

Many soldiers were using flamethrowers to burn the large green mushrooms that might be spreading spores in the surrounding area.

Singapore has no fertile ground, but it's best to be careful in everything you do.

The fact that the supply depot located at the rear was attacked by the Greenskins only proves one thing: the front line of defense is already riddled with holes and is simply unable to effectively stop the Greenskins' attack.

Just as Alec said, if they don't receive any more support, they will have to retreat to the ground and use the complex terrain of the hive city to wage a war of attrition that could last for an unknown period of time.

In order to get a more direct feel for the intensity of the war, Xiao Yi decided to go to the front lines where the Empire and the Greenskins were fighting for control.

Alec certainly wouldn't refuse, nor did he have the right to refuse.

As for Charles and the others, they were already used to Xiao Yi's occasional risky behavior.

And so, led by Alec, the group began to move toward the front lines.

boom!

The entourage was startled by the sudden loud noise. Just moments before, a shell fired by a green-skinned soldier had exploded about a hundred meters away from them.

If we continue forward, there is a high chance that someone will get injured.

Knowing this, Alec stopped and took the binoculars hanging around his neck, handing them to Xiao Yi, saying, "Sir, if you want to watch, you can watch from here. It's too dangerous ahead."

They were still a few kilometers from the front line, but they could already clearly hear the Greenskins' classic battle cry. Xiao Yi picked up his binoculars and looked ahead.

Countless imperial soldiers were firing wildly from makeshift trenches constructed from various scrap materials, facing a group of excited, heavily armored orcs who looked no different from canned food.

They are larger and stronger, and the bullets fired from their rocket launchers, which are about the size of human rocket launchers, are enough to easily tear a human body in half.

"Are all the guys you encounter like this?"

Seeing Alec's bewildered expression, Xiao Yi handed the binoculars back. After looking at them for a while, Alec smiled wryly and said, "Not entirely. They should be considered the elite among the Xenomorphs, but there are quite a few of them."

"If I remember correctly, the front line was just a few kilometers away a day ago. I didn't expect those damn aliens to push forward so quickly."

"It won't be long before my troops are heading to the front lines. Damn it, a bunch of hastily recruited newbies. Facing these muscle-bound freaks, they'll be lucky if they don't run away, let alone win. How could they possibly defeat them?"

Listening to Alec's complaints, Xiao Yi's expression gradually became serious.

The battlefield situation was more difficult than he had imagined.

Fortunately, the imperial army did not collapse easily, and they successfully pushed back the attack.

Just as everyone was celebrating, the roar of engines echoed across the entire battlefield. The green, heavy iron cans, which looked like piles of garbage, charged towards the Imperial army with extremely arrogant strides.
