Warhammer 40: Gods Of Mortals

Chapter 80 Bullet Time
Even for the guards, a series of actions in the huge upper nest is onerous, and they need at least a day and night to complete.

While the comrades-in-arms were doing their jobs with all their strength, Gray, who was not wearing the power armor of the guards, was still shuttling through the darkness for reconnaissance.

When he heard what Anruida said that a full-scale attack could be launched tomorrow if the action was quicker, Gray thought it was impossible: "Don't be too anxious, brother. The upper nest is bigger than we imagined, and the army has to attack the day after tomorrow anyway."

"I was indeed a little anxious, probably because I was in an enemy-occupied environment." An Ruida admitted.

Gray continued to walk through the darkness, looking for what he thought were more valuable enemy targets, such as the enemy's command center, or the location of some senior officers.

Comrades who are sabotaging important military installations provide excellent cover for this reconnaissance.

The sound of shotgun laser firing is almost incessant, and the sound of the beam piercing through several buildings and detonating something is heard every now and then, followed by the yelling of nearby patrols.

From time to time, in the area where Gray was located, explosions lit up half of the "sky".It's a pity that only some areas can see the sky, and most areas still give people an indoor feeling.

After more than 50 minutes, Gray marched to a building that looked a bit like a city wall.

This city wall spans the very center of the block.

When Gray scanned the building, the results showed that it was a square building with a side length of 100 kilometers, which had existed for at least 700 years. There was only one entrance and exit [-] meters directly in front of Gray.

The fact that there were many people inside the walls does not prove anything, since there were also many people in other areas that Gray recorded along the way.

"The Wall of Khoi." Although Gray had never been to the upper nest, he still recognized the huge city wall at a glance.

In the lower nest, this city wall is known to everyone.

Legend has it that in ancient times 1000 years ago, the governor of Tyrone's hive capital, Khoi, was facing a major rebellion. A slave in the arena led many people to fight and vowed to behead the governor.

The Governor's army held out within the Walls of Khoi until an army from Tyrone II arrived and slaughtered the "rebels".

And the slave gladiator's name is very loud - the champion of valor.

Gray thought this incident was just a fabricated incident, but when he saw the huge city wall in front of him, he understood that it was a real incident.

Think about it in another way, as a general of the army who sticks to the upper nest and the spire, if you want to find a place for command, what is more suitable than the inside of the wall of Khoi?
Thinking about this, Gray made up his mind to verify his idea through reconnaissance.

After looking around, Gray immediately saw a minaret 500 meters behind the left, so he immediately rushed towards the location of the minaret.

There were many patrols on the road from the Wall of Khoi to the Minaret, and Gray easily evaded the patrols.

It couldn't even be called evasion, because he was only advancing in the blind spot of the patrols, or entering the room or climbing the house and running on the roof, anyway, he finally got close to the steeple.

The bottom of the minaret is surrounded by a high wall. Inside the wall are more than 50 infantry plus a tank, and outside there are many patrols and guards.

"It's not right." Gray was puzzled, why does a steeple need to be defended?Even if the people outside had heard the explosion sound from a distance, they were indifferent, just guarding and waiting anxiously.

Gray looked at the top of the tower, and his field of vision was enlarged until the entire top of the tower was clearly visible at a glance.

There are more than a dozen missile launch nests on it, and the specific type of missiles inside is temporarily unknown. Anyway, this thing gives people a feeling of great threat.

Gray thought he should get rid of the missiles first, and then use the spire to verify that the Wall of Khoi was an enemy command post.

After quickly making a plan, Gray immediately sneaked into the high wall, hid behind a stone sculpture and prepared to do it.

At this time, more than 50 infantrymen in the high wall were gathering near the tank, looking at the direction of explosions in the distance.

After watching it for a long time like watching fireworks, fear appeared on the faces of all these soldiers.

"Broken brothers, I wonder if the enemy has already teleported over and started."

"Their teleportation technology is really a disgusting thing. I heard a psyker say that he saw an entire army teleport to one of our regiments, and then killed the unlucky ones of that regiment almost instantly."

"Maybe it's the enemy's bastards in cool power armor who are making a sneak attack. In any case, our task is to defend the whirlwind missile."

While these people were chatting, no one noticed that the daggers hanging from the legs of at least half of them were floating.

When the floating daggers slowly moved back and aimed at at least half of the people's necks, Gray immediately continued to control the daggers and let them stab out quickly.

Under the control of the mind-like device, the speed and strength of the dagger's stabbing are far beyond the speed and strength of ordinary people's holding and attacking. Those who are resisted should be pierced to death in less than a second.

But in the eyes of Gray who turned on the bullet time, those daggers moved very slowly, and even the voices of the soldiers seemed to be elongating their voices.

The spine connected with nerves increased his reaction speed geometrically.

"Talk... say... I..."

Gray had already rushed behind the soldiers. At this time, the daggers controlled by the power of thought slowly pierced the necks of half of the soldiers. When Gray passed by them, the sound of the elongated sharp weapons piercing into the flesh could be heard.

When the pain of the enemy being pierced by a sharp weapon was transmitted to the brain along the nerves, the shell of Gray's prosthetic arm had already been opened, and the gun barrel was extended to shoot ten shots in a row, and the bullets flew extremely slowly in the air.

Gray rushed behind the remaining targets and snapped their necks one by one.

When the bone of the last enemy infantryman's neck cracked, ten bullets had already hit their target, and ten corpses with their brains smashed fell to their knees and their upper bodies fell to the ground, all of them in pouting postures.

These little movements were covered up in the explosion of the military facility detonated by the guards in the distance. The crew in that tank hadn't noticed that all the comrades outside were dead.

Until another explosion sounded.

Gray's prosthetic arm penetrated directly into the tank's turret armor, and the gun barrel fired bullets, killing all the people inside.

The miniature bullets stored in the prosthetic arm just ran out.

Gray pulled his arm from the turret, jumped to the ground and walked towards the inside of the spire.

The enemies inside still don't know what they will face next.
