Warhammer 40: Gods Of Mortals

60 Sudden Attack
……

Not long after the governors finished their meeting and were about to leave the hive, General Barrett, who was at the forefront of the confrontation, received an order from the marshal.

The order was simple: All members of the Second Army led by Barrett were ready to give up the confrontation immediately, because the members of the First Army were not enemies, and everyone, as the Emperor's people, should do their best to bridge the conflict.

The words in the order were beautiful, but Barrett felt that the governor wanted to compromise, otherwise how could he say such beautiful words.

After this period of contact during the confrontation period, Barrett felt that the people of the First Army were just a group of angry people who had escaped from death. They didn't want this nest to be set on fire, after all, this was their home.

After receiving the order, Barrett immediately ordered the army to assemble, and then went to the First Army by himself.

"The hive has compromised." Barrett found Gray who was arranging recruits for teleportation along the position, and showed him the order, "We don't need to continue the confrontation."

Gray immediately took the order to check it carefully, scanned it and sent it to Qin Mo, and then said to Barrett: "Congratulations, you have been worried about being attacked by us all this time, can you rest assured now?"

"Don't worry, because I don't know if your powerful legion commander will compromise with the higher-ups." Barrett shook his head with a smile.

"Of course he's not going to compromise, he's going to find who's behind the attack, put him to death, and get this over with," Gray said.

Listening to his plain tone, Barrett's heart that had just been let go hung up again, and he felt that the haze of war that had just dissipated was now hanging over his head again.

After thinking about it for a long time, Barrett could only whisper: "Tell your army commander for me that we still have to put the overall situation first. The nest is our home, and we can't let it be destroyed."

"Help me tell the Governor, if you can meet him." Gray also whispered to Barrett, "Each of us has paid too much price and sacrifice, this matter will not be settled so easily, let him prepare for atonement."

"You have a serious tone." Barrett gave Gray a white look, turned around and walked towards the army on his side.

At this time, the people of the Second Army were already gathering and preparing to evacuate.

All gathered together, rejoicing at being able to pull back from the confrontation front.

Although they couldn't talk and laugh loudly during the assembly, the discipline of the Planetary Defense Force was not strong, and everyone was very happy, so the soldiers were not only talking and laughing loudly, but even in front of Barrett.

Barrett was also very happy. He even joined in the conversation and laughed, telling the soldiers what gifts he would buy for his wife and children when he returned home, and he would hold another banquet to celebrate that he did not die in the confrontation.

Gray and his own soldiers looked at these happy people together, feeling inexplicably happy in their hearts.

There are grievances and debtors, and no one will hate the soldiers of the Second Army. They are just obeying orders and deploying here.

Life in the lower nest is always miserable, but at this moment, in the area ahead of this blocked passage, the people here are very happy.

Gray smiled and looked at the people in front of him, until he heard the beep sounded in the helmet, and the smile disappeared instantly.

"Warning, warning, a large number of objects approaching at high speed have been detected."

"Warning, warning."

Before Gray could react at all, his shoulder cannon automatically extended from the power armor, firing several small beams into the air.

The same is true for An Ruida and others present.

The sound of the beam being fired aroused Barrett's vigilance. He looked at Gray angrily, thinking it was Gray who ordered an active attack.

But Barrett's words of reprimand were not uttered, because he heard a shrill scream from the air, which was the sound of shells falling.

Barrett stood where he was, looked back in a daze, and then turned his head to look at Gray, opening his mouth a few times as if to say something.

In the next second, a dazzling explosion flashed where Barrett was standing, and his entire body was vaporized together with the surrounding people and objects.

A large number of shells fell immediately.

The soldiers of the First Army immediately entered a combat state, looking for bunkers on the position.

The shoulder cannon of the guard's power armor is still firing small beams to intercept the flying shells, so there is nothing wrong with our side for the time being.

But the Second Army was miserable.

They are gathering, all gathered together, almost crowded.

When the shells fell among them, Gray saw the most terrible scene he had ever seen.

The explosion instantly vaporized hundreds of people at the central point, and then the shock wave spread to the surroundings and shattered the human bodies. Huge amounts of fragments were thrown into the sky, and then fell to the surroundings.

"Defense!" Gray no longer watched the tragic situation of the second army, because he should immediately organize a defense in a sudden attack rather than being a bystander.

The heads of the various regiments received the order and immediately directed the soldiers to enter the trenches and bunkers during the shelling.

The position that originally belonged to the Second Army was expanded and reinforced, and now it has played a good protective role.

……

two hours later.

bottom nest.

After the war started, the command building in the center of New Cato was activated, but due to the urgency of the war, everyone inside was in a mess.

In the corridor on the highest floor, Qin Mo and Yao En, who were wearing the power armor of the guards, walked forward one after the other.

Everyone who passed them leaned against the wall in a hasty salute, then went on to do what they had to do.

Qin Mo walked to the door of the combat conference room, pushed the door open and entered.

Klein and some other high-level personnel in the room gathered in front of the holographic image to discuss matters. When they saw Qin Mo, they immediately stepped back to make way.

Qin Mo walked to the holographic image and watched it.

The holographic image has already shown the situation of the entire battlefield. Our own army is standing firm on the ground, defending against the attack with advanced weapons and equipment.

But the enemy is not just attacking the position outside the passage, they have already begun to prepare to establish a defense line in the nest area near the passage.

"Sure enough, it's still a war..." Klein urged with a sad face.

"Let the army destroy the fixed weapons on the ground, and then teleport back to the bottom lair." Qin Mo did not listen to Klein's complaints, and gave him his order.

Klein immediately picked up the communicator to transmit orders in the communication channel, and then asked in disbelief, "Are we going to retreat?"

"The passage was blocked in the first place, and the position in front of the passage has lost its meaning after the confrontation turned into a war." Qin Mo stared at the holographic image, "They have to retreat, assemble, prepare, and then directly teleport behind the enemy to launch an assault."

"Understood." Klein suddenly realized.

Qin Mo immediately worked out a detailed teleportation assault plan with the people present, including where the unmanned artillery should teleport to start shelling, and the teleportation positions of each regiment.
