Warhammer 40: Gods Of Mortals

165 The Invasion Begins

The transport plane stopped outside the factory, the pilot said hello and drove the transport plane away.

Vic led a team of rangers and a team of vanguards into the factory, and took an elevator that could carry a hundred tanks to go underground.

When the elevator descended at high speed between floors, Vik quickly checked the equipment on each floor and found that it was a factory that produced automatic guns.

Vik didn't have the slightest liking for this factory. In his opinion, the entire Agripina should mass-produce the Agripina-type laser rifles, although these automatic guns are a specialty of the foundry world...

"The gunshots are getting closer. Please stand behind us after the elevator goes down." Pioneer Alpha walked up to Vic to remind him.

"Snowflakes" appeared in Vic's electronic eyes when approached by the Pioneer, and he saw radiation readings that were literally higher than some factories.

But Vic made a transformation, he will not be killed by radiation.

"I'm not a weak person." Vic didn't stand behind the vanguards, but turned his head to signal the rangers to stay away from the elevator door.

The rangers knew that their combat power could not compare with the deeply modified Vanguard and Vic, so they all retreated obediently.

The elevator stopped suddenly after three seconds, and the heavy alloy door slowly opened.

Vic saw that the entire bottom of the factory had become a battlefield. Thousands of machine servants and more than 100 rangers were fighting against a large number of plague walking corpses. Among the walking corpses were some people with festering bodies. Because they can still use weapons, but they don't look much different from walking corpses.

The walking corpses of these forge worlds are different from other worlds. They have a large number of cheap and crude mechanical transformation parts on their bodies. These parts can help these walking corpses survive the continuous firepower for a while.

"Cover them to retreat." Vic ordered and walked out of the elevator.

The pioneers rushed out of the elevator first, and lined up in a human wall to shoot at the walking corpses. After firing these radiation carbines, they would not only easily destroy biological tissues, but also leave radiation on the battlefield.

Vic still maintains a stooped standing posture, but his eight servo mechanical arms have pulled out various weapons from under the red robe to shoot at the enemy. Various live ammunition, lasers and blue radiation ammunition are fired at the enemy intensively. , easily suppressing their charging momentum.

Only Vic alone has more firepower than hundreds of people.

"Close to me!" Vic issued a binary command.

Everyone who was fighting at the bottom of the factory received this order no matter where they were, and began to move closer to Vic's position.

Vic's purpose is simple, to retreat with everyone.

The reason why the skitarii in the factory were left behind might be because they needed to protect most of the factory's production equipment, but this is no longer necessary now, the forge world is about to face a more terrifying attack, and if one more survives now, there will be more in the future. A man goes into battle.

When Vic was at the forefront to cover the retreat, Sewin's communication image suddenly popped up in his vision.

"I thought you were going to help them kill the walking corpses instead of retreating. I need them to stay and clean up the walking corpses." Sewin said.

"Whether to clean up the walking dead or protect the production line." Vic asked.

Sewin was silent for a while when asked.

Vic is very familiar with this old friend. In Sewin's eyes, the production line is the most important. This kind of importance is not only to protect the production line desperately, but also to make ineffective investment regardless of the cost when the production line is bound to be lost.

The lives of these cathar soldiers are useless investments, because it is impossible for them to clean up the plague walking corpses.

It wasn't just a walking corpse with only flesh, but a walking corpse that had been transformed and strengthened by civilians infected with the plague in the Forge World. Some of them were deeply modified and even the rifle in the vanguard's hand could hold two rounds.

"You don't understand the value of those production lines, because you even give STC to others for free." Sewin said, "This is not an ineffective investment. These production lines are more valuable than life, and it is an honor to die to protect them."

"Do you want to argue with me?" Vic asked.

Sewin turned off the communication without saying a word.

More and more cathars and servitors poured into the elevator, leaving Vic and the Vanguard last.

When the last servitor limped onto the elevator, Vic turned and glanced at Alpha.

A binary command is spread between the two.

Alpha immediately looked at his subordinates, and boarded the elevator with them.

Vic is not a person who is willing to sacrifice himself for others. The reason why he stayed is because he calculated that staying behind is the best plan, and the survival rate of this plan is 100%.

More and more walking corpses fell on Vic, who fought and retreated, and the cataracts in the elevator also covered him with fire.

During the battle, Vic glanced at the starting device of the elevator, and the starting device automatically opened, and the elevator doors began to gradually close.

Vic retreated to the elevator and the others continued to suppress the walking corpses who were about to rush into the elevator, while waiting for the elevator doors to slowly close.

Just when everyone thought it was absolutely safe to evacuate, the ground suddenly trembled.

A chubby monster with teeth and claws that was completely irregular in shape crushed all those who stood in the way, and rushed straight towards the elevator.

It was the first time for Vic to see such a weird creature, but part of his brain tissue had been modified, so he would not be afraid.

"Focus on it!" Vic ordered to everyone.

The cathars and the machine servants all set fire to the monster, even if it caused some walking corpses to get into the elevator, they couldn't care less.

The weapons in the hands of others can only leave big holes in the monster's body. The radiation carbine in the vanguard's hand easily penetrates the monster's body, but it can't stop it from stopping.

Pioneer Alpha stepped forward and raised his right hand, bent his forearm downwards, and fired a high-explosive grenade from the hollow of his elbow. The violent explosion only made the monster tremble, and the shrapnel produced during the explosion flew into the elevator Shot several unsuspecting servitors.

The monster was getting closer and closer to the entrance of the elevator, and those walking corpses who were also attacking the elevator were crushed by its fat body.

Faced with this situation, Vic had to spend his money.

He opened the storage compartment in his heart, took out a fist-sized bomb and threw it out casually.

When the bomb was thrown, it automatically scanned the most dangerous enemy on the battlefield, and then automatically attached to the monster's abdomen and exploded, turning the flesh of this terrifying creature into a fluorescent liquid that splashed around.

A few seconds later the heavy metal doors slammed shut and the elevator began to ascend.

At this moment, several thunderclaps could be heard vaguely in everyone's ears or hearing devices.

And when the elevator got closer and closer to the ground, the sound of firefights and sirens could still be heard. Obviously, it was not thunder but the sound of guns just now.

When the elevator stopped and Vic was able to see what was going on outside the factory, he felt like a lifetime away.

The silhouettes of various battleships are faintly visible in the sky. They have just arrived in the orbit of the Forge World and are exchanging fire with various weapons used for orbital defense in the Forge World.

Vic sees farther than anyone else, and his electronic eyes not only magnify the picture, but also conduct data analysis.

It is only a matter of time before the control of the orbit is seized by the enemy. The devastating orbital bombing and airdrop pods seem to have appeared in front of Vic...

Compared with these intruders, those plague walking corpses in the underground just now are simply ants.

There is no one who does not realize his own insignificance in such a situation.

"Why did they come so fast?" Pioneer Alpha asked.

Vic didn't know how to answer the alpha's question, and he was surprised at how fast the enemy was coming.

Now that the invasion has begun, it is better to do something serious than to analyze the reason here.

"We must rush back to Gotana immediately." After Vic finished speaking, he immediately led everyone forward through the gap between the giant factories.
