Invincible after death, but in Warhammer 40K

Chapter 168: Chapter 168: Seven-Hour War



After confirming with a Boltgun that there were no survivors, Zhang Ge asked Alphie, who was standing still in the hall where the smoke and stench of blood began to spread:

"If you were to launch a war yourself with their leaders dead, how confident are you that you can simultaneously hold back these gangs for at least thirty-six Terran Hours?"

Hearing these words, Alphie did not answer.

Looking at the other party's expression, Zhang Ge could understand the shock of having his worldview shattered into pieces in a matter of seconds. Considering that time was not tight at the moment, he planned to clean up the battlefield first.

These gang leaders might have some dirty things on their hands, and nothing good would happen if those things were stained with blood for too long.

But just as he turned around, Alphie's voice came from behind him, much faster than Zhang Ge had expected:

"Seventy percent. Ten percent if you can lend me a hundred people."

"So, you've made a decision?"

"After witnessing these... it's hard not to make a decision, right?"

Her smile had a hint of bitterness.

Whose power among those who were still seated just now was lower than hers? She had been standing on top of millions of people since birth, and for a long time, she had thought that such days would continue forever.

Until today.

She had finally broken free from that illusion and realized that she was just fish to be slaughtered by others.

"Very well, that will make things smoother, but I won't lend you a hundred people. My people can't die for some scum."

Zhang Ge's response did not deviate because the other party had surrendered, but he did not waste this strategic opportunity either:

"However, I can provide you with a certain degree of Close Air Support as long as you can ensure that the Anti-air Emplacements in that area are basically eliminated in ground combat."

"Then there are no other problems. Thank you for your generosity."

"Generosity? No."

He replied somewhat strangely.

"My plan will not change because of this. Everyone in your Controlled Zone will go through a round of scrutiny. Those dregs will be purged. Those with lighter crimes will be transformed into Servitor Labor or serve in the Penal Legion or be drafted into the military, depending on the situation. Even those who have made some contributions by participating in the war will not be an exception. All you are doing is increasing the probability that you will survive."

But Alphie replied without hesitation after hearing this showdown:

"They deserve it."

It was unclear whether she knew what those people had done or whether it was simply because she wanted to kneel all the way to the end.

However, at least for Zhang Ge, it was a qualified answer:

"Then, go do it. If you want more of your men to live to see the sun on the third day, it's best to let them show their value. I am not qualified to forgive them on behalf of the victims, but I can squeeze out their value for the people who have not yet suffered - the space left in this is the length of time they can exist in the present world."

After Alphie nodded and turned to leave, Zhang Ge turned to Amilia and asked:

"Was she lying just now?"

Amilia, who was busy piling up the corpses for burning, took the time to answer:

"No."

"Her mentality changed quite quickly."

Hearing Zhang Ge's words, Amilia shook her head and said:

"Her mentality has not changed. Those subordinates are not people to her at all, only tools to maintain her power. Now she only needs to depend on you, and she can see the hope of climbing to a higher place. Of course, those people can be abandoned without hesitation."

"Depend on me... It's hard to imagine what's been happening these days."

The last sentence was more like a complaint than an exclamation. It was a miracle for ordinary people to climb to the position of a colonel in charge of a regiment in such a short period of time, but for Zhang Ge, it seemed like nothing went smoothly.

"That's what you deserve."

Amilia replied calmly, looking at the fire spreading across the pile of corpses in front of her.

At this time, with the death of several Gang Leaders and their Personal Guards, the various gang members who were unable to get a response from the outside also gradually began to stir.

But soon, looking at the gun muzzles protruding from the fortress and reaching out to them, these people realized that some changes had occurred in the silence just now.

Unfortunately, in the rain of lasers falling, they had no chance to witness the subsequent developments.

In the entire Gang-controlled Zone, after a short period of troop assembly, the flames of war spread everywhere.

Under her unsparing investment, more than 10,000 of Alphie's men frantically tore at the surrounding gangs. Under the circumstances of being attacked and with the Gang Leaders dead, these gangs were even bitten off by her men for a small period of time at the beginning.

However, after figuring out what had happened, the gangs quickly formed an angry coalition.

Even with a certain amount of Close Air Support, the support would only be dispatched when the enemy had almost no Anti-air Emplacements. After the enemy figured this out, they quickly had the Close Air Support terminated through successive accompanied Anti-air Emplacements.

Alphie's Controlled Zone decreased like an avalanche.

Until more than twenty Terran Hours had passed, the battle line had spread to her feet. Standing on the outer wall of the fortress, she could even see the positions below being impacted by round after round of attacks. At the same time, artillery shells of various kinds fell on the main body of the fortress like snowflakes.

Zhang Ge was in Alphie's bedroom at this time. After glancing at the time indicated by the clock, he said:

"Not bad, the most difficult moment has passed."

There were less than 2,000 people left in Alphie's hands at this time - those gang gunmen would not accompany Alphie to die. It was already considered that she was strictly disciplined to be able to leave 2,000 people now.

But after waiting for a while, what arrived on the battlefield was not support.

In the sky, dozens of Flare Shells suddenly lit up at the same time, projecting a scarlet light downward, covering the bodies of both sides who were killing red-eyed with a layer of scarlet.

What came to the battlefield was Artillery Barrage preparation.

Tens of thousands of shells drew arcs through the light curtain projected by the Flare Shells and slammed into the ground in the sound of echoing artillery fire. Even if only a small part of them were equipped with tracers and drew bright trajectories, they were already as dense as a falling rainstorm.

The barrage, which seemed to be about to overturn the Gang-controlled Zone layer by layer, allowed these thugs to witness what war was in the last moment before their deaths.

The first round of fire alone had forced a ceasefire on both sides, and the subsequent uninterrupted strikes that lasted for several hours completely crushed their hope of survival inch by inch.

And this was just the beginning.

When the three-hour shelling ended, fifteen tall blue giants, together with hundreds of elites who had been sent into the Controlled Zone in advance, purged the gangs' various important areas and key figures. Most of the gunmen who had survived the shelling by chance had already become corpses before they could even see what had happened.

Until the last hundreds of thousands of regular troops entered the arena, basically all that was left for the countless tracks that rolled over the streets were corpses and spreading seas of fire. The remaining resistance had been completely defeated in just a few short hours.

Even including the time for Artillery Barrage preparation, the troops from Yarkalan had cleared the Gang-controlled Zone in just seven hours.

But Zhang Ge, looking at the After-action Report that was constantly being sent back, keenly captured the abnormal parts at the end.

The good news seemed to end here.
