As long as you die, you are invincible, but in 40K

"Aren't you high-ranking priests? What are you doing in my army? Repairing laser guns?"

"Oh..."

"oh oh!"

understood.

This means that we should not be confined to one place, but should make full use of our existing resources and influence to spread the glory of the order to every place we can reach.

Several high-ranking priests looked at each other and confirmed this idea that came to them simultaneously.

Totally understand.

With this mission, they began to disperse and head towards the key nodes of the Mechanicus in the Dead Forest Festival area.

ps: I spent the whole day working on a big assignment for school today, so the update is a little late. Fortunately, it didn’t take too long and I barely caught up before 12:30.

ps2: In addition, there is a py that I haven’t seen for a long time today, the “Author’s Words” module placed below which will not be counted in the text.

Chapter 245 Special Mission - Death Direct Missile

Looking at the high-ranking priests gradually going away, Zhang Ge breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the term "high priest" is a bit vague, generally speaking, the group of religious personnel second only to the sages can be included in this category.

To be more specific, if it weren't for the special situation of this planet, there wouldn't be a single sage in the entire Hongbei region.

Although priests like the High Priest of Akaolan who only manage the affairs of a hive can be called high-level, the upper limit of this thing is the level of high-level people in the forging world who are second only to the Deputy Supervisor of the Forging.

Even if we put aside the local spider-legged priest who was familiar to him, since the other strangers were able to follow the sage to witness the miracle, it was obvious that they had a close relationship with the sage. If they all had a close relationship with the sage, how could their status in the religion be low?

Even though they dare not breathe in front of the sage, any ordinary upper-class noble in the hive would be sweating profusely.

In this place, you call me a brother or sister of the Order of Peace, and I won't argue with you. But outside, the only chance you get to call me by my name is when you're a spectator on the sidelines at a triumphal ceremony.jpg

After saying all this, returning to Zhang Ge’s idea, it is easy to understand - what would happen if this group of people came to his group to make trouble?

Even if we don't talk about anything else and just talk about their own combat power, this group of highly modified humans who look like scholars can actually be regarded as elite behemoth units. Who knows what is hidden under those red robes, a huge thing that can destroy a Leman Russ with a single shot.

After persuading those people to leave, Zhang Ge watched them disappear at every corner of the street, and then he asked Olivia to rush to the assembly point.

Soon, as the heat from the Titan's cooling system rose before takeoff, he turned and said to several of his followers:

"Let's go too."

Before leaving, he looked up at the sky again and found that the originally busy airspace had become empty again.

Have the first batch of Crusaders already landed on the ground? This also means that the time should be about right.

Sure enough, not long after boarding the Valkyrie, the sound array communication rang.

After the call was connected, it was the familiar voice of the Imperial Fist officer.

I don't know if it's due to their body modifications, but the voices of these Space Marines are much more recognizable than those of mortals. Or maybe they're just deliberately creating the image of the Emperor's Angels?

While thinking about this, Zhang Ge listened to what the Imperial Fist officer said.

Simply put, the Chaos believers who were previously besieged have been basically wiped out. Although Tieyong and the Orcs' troops harassed the outer wall of the Dead Forest Festival area a second time, they failed to pose a threat. The situation here has stabilized.

However, this is only the situation in some areas. If the scope is expanded to the entire Dead Forest Festival area, then at least two-fifths of the area is still suffering from the ravages of chaos.

During the communication, the Imperial Fist officer informed Zhang Ge of his original plan:

He had originally planned to launch a counterattack at least two months later. By then, the effects of martial law would have begun to show, and most of the work such as logistics would have been completed, so he could recapture these areas in a steady and cautious manner. However, the situation had changed dramatically twice in succession, which disrupted the original plan and forced it to be carried out at the present time.

First, the enemy was significantly weakened, and then came the reinforcements of the Mechanicus. The combined effect of the two far exceeded the preparations of the past two months. He was confident that he could liberate the entire sector in one go.

Of course, the Imperial Fist officer's call was definitely not just for chatting. He asked Zhang Ge to go to the military control center set up earlier, where he would give a special task to Zhang Ge and the 1st Mechanized Infantry Regiment.

Special missions, specialized deliveries, extensive foreshadowing, and from Space Marines.

OK OK.

It was completely or even ninety percent in line with Zhang Ge's wishes.

After he changed the destination without hesitation, the Valkyrie changed direction, carrying the people with renewed hope, and began to accelerate towards the spire of the distant hive city.

Soon, as if sensing Zhang Ge's urgency, the Valkyrie, after accelerating several times, arrived at the military control center located at the top of the hive tower.

This was originally the administrative center of the capital of the Dead Forest District, but now it has been transformed into a semi-fortress that outputs military control orders. Transport ships loaded with soldiers and weapons are constantly entering and exporting, making this place seem even busier than before the war.

As soon as it entered the nearby airspace, the Valkyrie, who had actively sent out a signal, received guidance information and followed the guidance to park in the building.

When Zhang Ge realized that the fighter plane had landed and saw the hatch slowly opening, he saw the Imperial Fist officer directly through the opening.

Bad thing.

I didn't expect this guy to be so anxious as to wait for him directly at the landing point... It doesn't matter what the Eldar pet is like, Pervetti is still not disguised.

With a calm expression on his face, Zhang Ge led a few people away from the Valkyrie as usual, as if Perveti, who was taller than the Primaris Space Marines, did not exist. He asked as usual:

"So anxious? What's the mission? Tell me."

When the Imperial Fist officer heard Zhang Ge's words, he didn't respond immediately. Instead, he looked up at Perveti, then turned back to look at Zhang Ge for a long moment. It was obvious that he wanted to say something, but he swallowed it and replied:

"To make a long story short, during the purge of the nobles... I mean, during the investigation, we discovered that a noble had stored several special death-strike missiles in his fortress. These missiles are of extremely significant strategic value. A single missile can destroy a small warship or even threaten an entire hive."

"Oh, I got it."

It's so annoying. I thought it was some high-risk mission, but it turned out to be a noble.

Seeing Zhang Ge's indifferent look, the Imperial Fist officer continued:

"While it's unclear where this noble obtained these missiles, we can't leave them in the hands of a single noble in these tense times... Even so, that noble's fortress is deep within the occupied zone, surrounded by numerous Chaos forces and possessing ample defenses. Furthermore, if he were to detonate those missiles in a desperate attempt..."

Before the Imperial Fist officer could finish his words, Zhang Ge interrupted him, seamlessly switching to a compassionate expression, and said:

"Don't keep emphasizing the danger. Even if it means sacrificing your life for the Empire, it's your duty. Just tell me where he is."

Stop talking, or he'll start laughing uncontrollably.

ps1: Bad news, the group was full before, good news, but later I upgraded it to a group of 613828331 people, and you can join again. The group number is .

ps2: I have previously specifically confirmed some issues related to the body structure of the Eldar. It turns out that the Eldar only have no fat on the neck, spine and reproductive organs, and they also have a special shock-absorbing cell to replace the function of fat to a certain extent, so they can have huge breasts.

Chapter 246: The Four-Meter "Military Servant" and the Mechanicus's Excellent Acting Skills

After the two of them further confirmed the details of the mission, Zhang Ge couldn't wait to turn around and return to the Valkyrie.

However, what he worried about eventually happened.

The Imperial Fist officer hesitated for a long time before asking in a deep voice:

"Colonel Zhang Ge, what's that four-meter-tall thing next to you...?"

"It's... it's the latest prototype of the Mechanicus. I mean, the humanoid military servitor that was excavated."

Humanoid servitors are not uncommon, and military servitors are not uncommon either, but four-meter-tall ones?

It's not that it can't be done, but the Mechanicus rarely creates unnecessary machines. A four-meter-high "Mechanic Servant" is basically equivalent to embedding a human-sized Mechanic Servant inside a mecha. Since you have done this, why not just remove the brain and make it into some kind of autonomous weapon?

The Imperial Fist officers always felt that things were not that simple.

Moreover, his intuition told him that this "mechanical servant" was extremely dangerous. Although he didn't know exactly how dangerous it was, if it was a life-and-death fight, he was afraid that he would be at a disadvantage in an instant and might not even last more than a hundred moves - for their level of movement speed, fighting a hundred times was an extremely short time.

"Can you let me fight it? Don't worry, I will be careful not to cause any damage."

"Forehead..."

Yes, I know you won't cause her any harm, but I'm worried that she might lose control.

Putting the pieces together in his mind, Zhang Ge managed to come up with a reason:

"The Adeptus Mechanicus has restrictions. She can only take action when I am in danger."

"Ok."

Although he still had some doubts, out of trust in Zhang Ge, the Imperial Fist officer didn't say much. He watched the few people get on the plane. Only when the Valkyrie took off with the cabin door closing did he turn around and walk towards the depths of the building.

As for Zhang Ge and his group at this moment, they naturally flew straight to the assembly point of the 1st Mechanized Infantry Regiment after leaving the military control center.

During the flight, Zhang Ge conveyed the mission content, target assignment and other trivial matters to all relevant personnel through the sound array.

When they finally landed, they saw the troops advancing into the transport ship in an orderly manner.

However, what was somewhat strange was that there was not a single infantryman in the corps concentrated in the assembly area... This was not because there were no infantrymen, but because the flight time was not expected to be too long, so the infantrymen had all boarded various vehicles at this time.

That’s right, they plan to do a combined human and vehicle airdrop.

Although there is no shortage of airborne pods, their delivery capacity is very limited. If the enemy's positions are well-prepared, it is easy to cause extremely high casualties or even annihilate the leading airborne pod troops.

So not long ago, after hearing the content of the mission, the officers in the regiment discussed it together: Doesn’t Captain Ni seem to have a good relationship with the Mechanicus? Why not just go to those red-robed guys and get some equipment?

Naturally, a group of Astra Militarum soldiers were very mobile. After discussing this idea, they immediately sent people to negotiate with the Mechanicus... However, contrary to their imagination, things seemed to be a little too simple.

The original plan was:

Some officers were responsible for taking advantage of their good relationships to pester the priests, pretending to want to ask for things from their warehouses. Of course, considering the Mechanicus's usual stinginess, they certainly did not intend to really get anything out of the priests' mouths with just their words without the captain personally showing up.

This is just superficial action.

In fact, when the first group of people is holding back the other party's management - who are also technical personnel - another group of people will bring technical troops and equipment, and try to sneak in to see if they can secretly steal something from their warehouse.

Get as much as you can, especially equipment related to gravity parachutes that can increase the delivery volume - we are about to set off anyway, and by the time they react, they will have already flown to the destination. If we win by then, the worst that can happen is we can just come back.

Lost the fight?

If you lose the fight and everyone is dead, why would you care whether you pay it back or not?

The smooth progress of the first phase of the operation was as expected. This group of veterans were able to control the gangsters firmly and lured out a large number of priests with ease as planned.

But the second phase also went smoothly, which is a bit strange.

When they really approached the facilities of the Mechanicus, the second group of officers suddenly discovered that the defense facilities they faced could not be said to be impregnable, but at least they could be said to be useless.

The gaps in the external walls could perhaps be explained by disrepair, the absence of any automatic turrets, servitors, etc. could be explained by a lack of vigilance, and even the fact that the imagined watertight information firewall was actually as thin as a piece of paper could be explained by the superior technology of the party.

But, you tell me, in the square in front of a large warehouse, the only guard you can see is a Skitarii? How do you explain this?

Besides, isn't it said that these Skitarii have extremely sharp senses?

Why, when someone was moving things, did someone drop a corner of a box on the ground without noticing? After a loud bang, the Skitarii didn't even turn his head, but kept muttering something emotionlessly, "Ah, it's just a bug passing by"?

Whose warehouse would have bugs that can steal equipment boxes? Did you just come from Catachan?

The second phase went so smoothly...that even the officers in charge of the operation felt a little scared.

They were so frightened that the corners of their mouths were harder to suppress than a grenade launcher, and they couldn't help but shed regretful words, no, tears. They quickly used the throne coins to requisition several transport vehicles that happened to be passing by nearby - and there was an unexpected gain, as the vehicles were loaded with arms that were to be distributed to a certain gang.

After going back and forth for more than a dozen times, I felt that the agreed time was almost up. I sent a message to the first batch of officers, but the reply I received was even more surprising:

"Brothers, this isn't right. How come these quiet, tough guys are so chatty now? I can't get out of this situation. Don't worry, I'll think of a solution first. You guys keep working on it. I'll let you know when I have some news."

Alas, Adeptus Mechanicus, you have caused great trouble to the 1st Mechanized Infantry Regiment.

There was no other way. Behind the lonely Crusader, all kinds of giant insects had to move back and forth for a while. The entire operation was not completely completed until Zhang Ge was about to reach the base.

According to statistics afterwards, the supplies Mao took away were enough for every soldier to get a hell gun, and there was even some left over. As for the originally planned "gravity parachutes", there were more than enough for airdropping people and vehicles together.

This ultimately led to the current grand scene. The entire army has 50,000 people, and including other troops, it is close to 60,000 people. It is fully mechanized, and the combat troops - including super-heavy tank troops and even a Titan - can all be airdropped as a whole vehicle.

It's really an interstellar army. Does your planet have such an interstellar army?

Of course, at least Zhang Ge, who had just left the Valkyrie, still thought that there was no such thing. He was imagining the fierceness of the future battles and the possible high-risk scenarios.

Chapter 247: The battlefield, the red and black curtain of death

When most of the soldiers had boarded the transport ship, a tremor came from the street connected to one side of the square.

It was as if a round of powerful music was playing.

The guards and officers on duty nearby turned a blind eye to this, but Zhang Ge couldn't help but look towards the source of the sound with some curiosity.

The cannons arrived before the chariots.

Two gun barrels as big as century-old trees slowly extended into the square, revealing the huge land-based ship connected to them.

Where did that 600-meter-long landship go? It couldn't have just vanished into thin air, could it?
