Warhammer 40: Gods Of Mortals

Chapter 314 Former Marshal

"These family crests..."

Anruida lowered her head and carefully observed the collected family crests, and suddenly felt something was wrong.

Some of these family emblems are those of little-known small families at the top of the tower. It stands to reason that even if troops such as the Noble Guard and the Spire Guard are composed of noble children, they will not be required by even some small families with not many people. Get people involved.

Anreda informed Gray of her doubts and took out a brass-colored weed family emblem: "This is the emblem of the Andor family. The archives in the library show that their entire family has a population of only thirty people. The only The young man is a woman, and she can continue to stay at the top of the tower because of her long family history... Such a family actually sends people to join the guard."

Gray took a look at the family emblem, raised his eyebrows and said, "It's probably because of the name certificate. No matter how small the family is, people must join the Guard. The Guard is led by officers of the Genestealers. If you don't join the Guard, you won't be able to join the Guard." This may be the reason why he was believed by the Governor.”

"Then how many families can be clean in the top of the tower..." Anruida looked helpless. The calculation results of his bioprocessor showed that the probability that the entire top of the tower was full of traitorous families was 90.00%.

The basis for the remaining 5.00% impossibility is: human diversity.

"It doesn't matter, go catch the governor." Gray turned and walked towards the shelter at the top of the tower.

At this time, the warships in orbit were still bombing. The warship crew bombed the family to which the family emblem belonged based on the family emblem recorded in the database.

After walking for 10 minutes, Gray and the four of them still haven't seen a single intact mansion, which shows that most of the people at the top of the tower are indeed traitors.

Anruida is still analyzing the books he previously scanned from the library.

One of the books had been scanned by Anreda a long time ago, and it recorded a large loss of nobles at the top of the tower.

Seven years ago, many Spire Nobles began to migrate to the Upper Nest. There are also some records showing that the relationship between the Upper Nest and the Spire is relatively tense. Although both parties still do some things together, such as when they received Anruida. Military parade...but went to the nest to form his own guard.

At that time, Anruida could not imagine why there was a loss of nobles at the top of the tower, but now it becomes clearer.

The nobles at the top may have noticed it early, and some families who were unwilling to cooperate with the gene stealers like the Governor ran to the nest, but they did not have the guts to confront the Governor's forces, not even when the Imperial Guard came to the planet to participate in the military parade. Dare to complain.

This incident can also prove from the side that there may really be no normal people at the top of the tower.

After traveling three kilometers, Gray's power armor scanned a large number of red dots nearby. As they rushed towards the red dots, the four of them saw a castle one kilometer directly ahead.

Considering that the governor might not have gone to the refuge but to the heavily guarded castle, the four decided to attack the castle.

"Carry out a small-scale bombing." Gray turned on the visual orbital bombing guidance function. In his eyes, the castle was shrouded in a red circle. "Reduce the energy output as much as possible. Don't even blow up the underground air raid shelter below. Beisu No. [-] The Governor may be hiding down there, and we need his memory."

"receive."

The crew in the frigate began to adjust the energy power of the particle lance launcher. The battleship system began to calculate the possible damage range caused by the current energy power. The crew then adjusted the power based on the calculation results.

This is a process that takes at least ten seconds.

Gray and others stood in the ruins and waited quietly.

The soldiers in the castle did not notice them. These people, who were dressed similarly to the Planetary Defense Force, stood in the walls and shooting holes to watch the surroundings and continued their daily work.

At this time, the castle gate was opened, and two slaves pushed the cart outside. They threw the bodies of the noble guard members on the cart to the ground, poured gasoline on them, and started burning them.

"Stop the bombing!" Gray ordered hurriedly.

At this time, the crew in the frigate had already pressed the fire button, and could only immediately set the shooting target on a wasteland on the planet.

The two slaves working were attracted by the light and turned their heads to look over. It took ten seconds for the explosion to reach their ears.

"They don't seem to be enemies." Chen Ye pointed at the castle and said.

Gray ordered the ship to transmit an overhead image of the castle, and then saw corpses everywhere in the castle, some dressed like the Planetary Defense Force, and some dressed like the Noble Guard.After confirming that the opponent was not an enemy, Gray jumped up, was pushed into the sky by the jetpack, and jumped into the castle.

The others waited in place until Gray and an old man walked out of the castle side by side 2 minutes later.

The old man looked very gorgeous in his Planetary Defense Force marshal uniform, but there were patches on his clothes and boots.

"Come here, this...this marshal knows where the governor is."

Yaoen and Anruida heard Gray's call and walked over with Chen Ye.

The group enters the castle.

The old man who Gray called the Marshal was very elegant. He was leaning on a long sword-like crutch. Although his posture was limping, he was very imposing.

"Report to the marshal!" A young man ran over and saluted the marshal. "The armored troops and infantry have been assembled. We can recover the tower at any time!"

"I understand, go ahead and do what you have to do."

"Yes, Father!"

"Ok?"

"No, yes! Marshal!"

The young man ran away quickly.

Gray and his group felt strange when they saw this scene.

There are a total of 2000 soldiers in the entire castle. The so-called armored forces are only three Centaur personnel carriers. One of them is being kicked and started by the driver. It is obviously on the verge of being scrapped. It can be seen that the so-called Marshal of the Planetary Defense Force and the bare pole The commander is not much different.

Gray didn't bother to find out what was going on with the marshal. He just asked him, "Where is the Governor?"

"You are too few in number and need some help. The biggest taboo in war is lack of preparation. We are not trying to repel the governor, but to kill him and his minions in one fell swoop, so we must be fully prepared!" The marshal turned around and glanced at the four people. At a glance, he saw Chen Ye, a space warrior, and was obviously surprised, but he still insisted that these four people were too few.

"Old stubborn." Gray cursed secretly.

The marshal continued to make preparations. The 2000-man army and the armored troops with two vehicle crews and two personnel carriers were assembled, and then a group of maids ran over.

"Report to the marshal, the logistics troops have been assembled!"

"Very well, follow the team!"

"Yes!"

"..."

Chen Ye watched all this speechlessly, feeling like he was experiencing a farce.

At this time, the officer who had previously called the marshal his father came over and presented it to Chen Ye with a book containing the combat records of the White Scars: "Sir, can you please sign it?"

Chen Ye picked up the quill pen in the book to sign, and at the same time asked the officer: "What happened to your father?"

"Oh, what a marshal, what a planetary defense force..." the officer smiled disdainfully and spoke in a small voice, "It's just a large group of family guards and servants and slaves acting together to satisfy the fantasy of the deposed former marshal."
