Chapter 37: 149
Glades was listening to the soldiers' reports in the command post, and she finally understood why Franky yelled to close the gate of the bottom nest.
It was not that those Chaos believers did not join the battle as ordered by the gods, but that they were devoured by these unknown alien creatures.
Among these aliens are a large number of infected and controlled humans, who are using the weapons they funded from the cultists to attack her soldiers.
"Governor! Aliens! Unknown aliens are attacking the defenders! There are too many of them! The enemy fleet in orbit has also begun to move! Our ground defense facilities are being destroyed! The enemy has begun to drop airborne!!"
The aliens and the enemy launched an attack at the same time. How could such a coincidence happen in this world? The only explanation is that these aliens are simply biological weapons of the Monget Dynasty.
This group of aliens is not like mindless monsters at all. They are even selective in their targets of attack.
The PDFs under her command and the cultists that Franky infiltrated into the army were all their targets.
However, many civilians in the hive who were forced to join the war did not suffer a devastating blow. They found that as long as they did not attack the aliens, the other side would not harm them.
Most people didn't want to die, so when faced with aliens that suddenly appeared and wouldn't attack them, many people simply dropped their weapons.
Gao Yi needs these people, and all the swarms of insects follow the guidance of psychic power and attack the secret command post where Glades is.
The Thunder Beast, which was teleported here at great cost using the tunnel worms, was like a biological titan, destroying all enemy resistance along the way. The artillery fire of ordinary armored vehicles could hardly penetrate its biological armor, and the Thunder Beast could destroy a Leman Russ with one kick.
The huge biological jaws in front of its head have terrifying bite force and can easily pierce thick alloys.
The Zerg's advance was only slightly contained when they encountered a factory controlled by the Black Oil Man.
The enemy suppressed the Zerg's advance with pure firepower. A large number of fighter servants temporarily resisted the Zerg's advance. Even from these blasphemous factories, a small number of demon engines emerged and collided with the thunder beasts.
The machine gunners composed of multiple merchant and ronin dynasties have begun to land in the upper nest.
I don't know how these alliance members perform in a game where they are at a disadvantage, but they are really active in a game where they are in a favorable situation. For them, their efforts will bring them terrifying wealth.
The situation developed as Gao Yi had expected, and the alien insects made up for the fleet's disadvantage of insufficient manpower.
Leon and Ian also walked out of the shelter of the Inquisition.
They were still unaware of what was happening in the bottom nest, but when they looked up, they saw a formation of Viking fighter planes flying over the hive city.
Countless anti-aircraft fire exploded inexplicably, while transport planes carrying soldiers in combat uniforms continued to arrive at the upper nest.
The two Gorgons had even penetrated into the atmosphere, and any support attempts from another hive on Malfi were completely blocked by these two warships.
No troop, nor any air unit, can cross the wilderness.
The medical ship also carried Thor and was deployed on the land of Malfi.
Leon was listening to the report from his spy. He thought that the soldiers wearing unknown combat uniforms around Damon were the elite sent by the other side.
But Ian never told him that these soldiers were all wearing combat uniforms.
There are warships that can enter the atmosphere, and even the existence of mechas similar to knights. Except for the Mechanicus, other forces in the empire should not have these things at the same time!
The power displayed by the Monget Dynasty at this time was enough to fight a complete battle on its own.
Although the power of the Monget Dynasty was composed of different parts similar to the Empire, all of these forces obeyed Gao Yi's orders.
The limits of efficiency and resource utilization have been reached.
Leon certainly knew how strong the combat effectiveness would be under such a centralized system, but most of the Empire's current armies did not dare to do so. Just like the Space Marine Corps that were split according to the Codex Astartes, once the army under such a centralized system rebelled or surrendered, the harm to the Empire would be too great.
The Legion in the past was not like the Chapter of today. Under the Astartes there were countless mortal auxiliary troops and manufacturing departments.
After weighing the pros and cons, the empire would rather bear more losses than integrate the various armies of the empire.
"Lord Lyon, don't be so surprised. These are not all of Lord Gao Yi's forces. You may not know that in the expansion area, we relied on these soldiers to hold off a legion of Khorne demons and even exiled Khorne's great demons."
Although the appearance of Doom was the key to winning, the Rangers withstood the impact of the demon army.
"Demon Legion? Banish the Great Demon? What is this army called?"
"Agathos Rangers, strictly speaking, they also have the Imperial Astra Militarum organization.
I know that you are uniting your sect to advocate for change, and Lord Gao Yi is also doing the same in the Kronus expansion. Perhaps your sect and Lord Gao Yi will have more opportunities for cooperation, and the cooperation I mentioned is not just this time, but a deeper level of cooperation. "
Ian's words made Leon fall into deep thought, and he began to seriously consider this matter.
"But Lord Gao Yi has a request."
"Request? What request?"
"Lord Gao Yi wants your cloning technology!"
"Cloning technology? That's impossible! The value of this technology is immeasurable, and we can't let anyone outside the Inquisition master it!"
Lyon's first reaction was to refuse.
"You don't need to be so sure. A piece of cloning technology in exchange for the dynasty's support is definitely the best deal!"
Looking at the power displayed by the Monget Dynasty, Lyon was moved.
The Rangers are destroying the resistance in the Upper Nest, the advantages that the battle suits bring in conventional combat are too great.
The ghosts who failed to assassinate Glades turned around and began to assassinate the officers who chose to resist.
The paralysis of the command system made the defenders of Shangchao even more unbearable.
Malfi's only advantage was that they had far more soldiers than the Dynasty, and they were using their lives to wear down the Dynasty's soldiers.
The number of the dynasty's soldiers was at least a hundred times that of the enemy. Apart from the truly corrupt rebels, there were more soldiers who were swept away by the general trend and did not know the truth. Under the propaganda of the officers, Gao Yi's soldiers were just simple invaders to them.
A large number of civilians were also used as cannon fodder to attack the Rangers' positions.
The Malfi State Church even tried to stop the invasion of Gao Yi's soldiers. In the eyes of the Malfi State Church, although their governor and the nobles here were obsessed with conspiracy and intrigue, they were devout believers of the God-Emperor.
However, when the priests under Holt led the rangers to break into their palace based on the list of nobles with blood ties to Glades provided by Lyon, the various heretical acts hidden in it made the members of the Malfi state religion completely speechless and even felt extremely ashamed.
Debauchery, indulgence in pleasure, and the corruption of Slaanesh were most widely spread among this group of nobles.
They claimed to be the shepherds of the God-Emperor, and began to use faith to persuade the soldiers to surrender.
At this time, Gao Yi was still on the Star Pioneer. The army had developed to the point where he no longer needed to charge into battle.
The upper nest is being occupied by the Rangers, while in the lower nest from bottom to top, the Zerg are constantly breaking through layer of defense. Even if they are temporarily delayed by the Black Oiler's army, the Zerg are not afraid of a war of attrition because the Tyranids cannot obtain inorganic matter.
However, the interstellar alien zerg can even convert the energy from the killed fighter servants and their metals into the nutrients they need.
Glades has been completely trapped in the hive. If nothing unexpected happens, it will only be a matter of time before he captures Malfi.
But what he said came true. Gao Yi suddenly sensed strange fluctuations coming from the subspace projection, which made him curse himself for being so rude.
The fierce waves of the subspace even affected the real universe, and the void around Malfi began to become turbulent.
Gao Yi, sensing the problem, immediately linked his consciousness to the subspace projection.
The God-Emperor's sun is releasing psychic flames at its full strength.
And around the sun and Gao Yi, it represents that the power of the four gods is approaching here
