Stars for the good Warhammer.

Chapter 300: Giant Battle Body is Starting (4K)

The continuous rolling, impacting and feeling of weightlessness made Gerrard feel as if his bones were falling apart. The experience was as if someone had put him into a can and then shook the box wildly.

Amidst waves of pitiful and helpless screams, the group of four were like pinballs in a casino pinball machine, rolling up and down, left and right in the car, until there was a loud bang and the car fell upside down on the ground with its four legs facing the sky.

The shaking stopped, and as the emergency lights in the car came on, Gerard, who was lying on the ceiling, felt that the world in front of him was still spinning, as if his soul was still flying up and down in his body.

If I had known this would happen, I would have just shot those guys dead.
After a brief complaint, Gerrard stretched his neck hard and tried to look up and observe his surroundings. However, after several attempts, he finally gave up and started shouting at the top of his voice.

"Still alive? Mardo? Big guy?"

Hearing this, the priest lying on the Ogryn's belly was the first to respond, and then the big guy under him also let out a painful groan.

"I think something is stuck to my butt."

As he was talking, the big guy was the first to sit up in the carriage. Under Mardo's gaze, the bulky Ogryn rubbed his butt on the ground in confusion.

Soon, the two men helped up Gerard, who was swollen and painful all over. However, as they swept their eyes across the carriage, they realized that the psychic Lori in the team was missing.

"Wait? Where's that damn brat?"

Looking at the car door that was deformed and damaged due to the impact, an ominous premonition instantly surged into Gerard's heart.

"Did she get thrown out of the car?"

But just as everyone was about to rush out of the car to look for the little guy, a weak cry for help suddenly caught the attention of the three people. For some reason, the voice seemed to come from behind the big guy.

It was not until then that Gerard noticed that the kid's frail body was perfectly sandwiched between the two strong gluteus maximus of the Ogryn. Looking at the rather obscene smile on the other's face, Lori, who looked aggrieved, was about to cry.

After a brief commotion, the first person to crawl out of the carriage was Gerard, who had scratches and several teeth marks on his face. With the help of the flashlight hanging under his rifle, he looked up at the hole that was sealed again by a heavy object.

"We are safe for now. It will take some time for those things to come down."

After saying that, he looked away again, and the scene in front of him surprised him.

In the dark and empty underground hall not far away, there were hundreds of blurry figures. In front of them, fluorescent tube screens that had not yet been cut off from the power supply were emitting a pale light and were neatly arranged together.

The crowd showed no interest in the appearance of Gerard and his group. They just stared silently at the data flashing on the screen in front of them. From their strange behavior, it was not difficult to see that these people were just a group of robot servants running according to their own programs.

In the distance, an extremely huge alien creature occupied almost two-thirds of the entire space. Gerard didn't know how to describe the appearance of that thing. The strange shape was like a huge mechanical fortress, covered with complex steel structures and spider-web-like metal pipes.

If nothing unexpected happens, all the research here should be conducted around the strange building in the middle. From the several giant servers connected to it and the incomplete structural diagram on the central screen, it can be inferred that the gear boys in charge of this place have tried to figure out the working principle of this device.

Although it was unclear where this place was, Gerard's intuition told him that the [Artifact of the Stars] they were trying to retrieve might be hidden in the center of the mechanical fortress.

As the flashlight shone, the symbols of Mars could be seen everywhere on the meditators and engineering equipment around them. Judging from the maintenance status, the researchers here should not have been away for too long.

"So this is the place you're looking for?"

In response to Gerald's inquiry, the young priest did not rush to confirm but just stared silently at the front as if waiting for something. Just when he was about to continue exploring the hall in front, Lori, who had regained her composure, suddenly reached out and grabbed Gerald's shirt.

"Be careful! Someone seems to be watching us nearby."

Just as she finished her words, the next moment, a little starlight suddenly lit up in the originally dark corner, and then several flashing star darts passed over Gerald's head at a distance close to his scalp. If Lori hadn't pulled him in time, Gerald would probably have already had his mind blown.

Have the elves invaded here?

Realizing this, Gerard hurriedly pressed Lori's head and went into the bunker with her. Under the sudden and continuous fire suppression of the Star Dart Gun, it became almost impossible to fight back. They couldn't even see the specific location of the attacker.

On the other side, because everything happened so suddenly, the big guy couldn't react at all to what was happening around him. At this moment, he stood there like a stupid roe deer, watching the bullets like stars in the sky hit the [electromagnetic barrier] that appeared in front of him one after another, sparking beautiful ion sparks, just like watching a fireworks show.

"Hey! Why are you guys hiding?"

Such a scene really made Gerard speechless. At this time, the big man was already wearing a complete set of heavy equipment. The thick armor made him look comparable to the Astartes' dreadnought mecha.

According to the Lord of Ashes, it was a set of sturdy [Zero Element Armor] that was even as hard as the golden armor used in the Imperial Guards' armor, and its built-in personal protection system was even enough to withstand direct hits from heavy weapons.

Realizing that this was a rare opportunity, the next second, Gerard, who was hiding behind the cover, shouted at the Ogryn who was still in a daze.

"It's those pointy ears who look down on the Emperor! Come on, big guy! Smash those guys for us!"

These words really worked. When the big guy, who had originally had a clear face, heard this, he suddenly became irritable.

"Pointy ears? Bad stuff!"

After looking around for a moment, the next second the big man grabbed the Thinker array where Gerard and others were hiding, and with one force he suddenly pulled the several-ton main engine up from the ground, and then slammed it in the direction of the dart. With a loud roar, the violent impact even caused the ground of the research platform to shake uncontrollably.

The shooting from the corner stopped, and a quickly flashing figure in the darkness caught Gerard's attention. In the blink of an eye, the thing appeared behind the Ogryn.

"Big guy! Watch out she's behind you!"

As he spoke, Gerard had already raised the laser rifle in his hand. In the reflection of the flashlight, he saw that the person standing there was a tall young woman with long light blonde hair, a well-equipped Eldar ranger.

The opponent held a sapphire-like power sword in his hand, and then stabbed it at the back of the Ogryn at a speed that was difficult to capture with the naked eye. The blade successfully penetrated the shield but was finally forced to stop in front of the Zero Armor.

The power sword couldn't penetrate the armor? Apparently, the opponent hadn't anticipated this. Taking advantage of the air attack, the big man turned his head sharply and raised his hand high, which was much more powerful than that of a beast.

The woman wanted to dodge, but the power sword in her hand was stuck in the gap that the Zero Element Armor had repaired itself. It was this brief gap that made her miss the best opportunity. "Wait!"

The other party wanted to say something, but the next moment, a slap from the Ogryn had already hit her hard on the head. As her legs suddenly softened, the mysterious uninvited guest collapsed to the ground like a puddle of mud. It was not until then that the others noticed that he was the only one at the scene from beginning to end.

However, one problem arose before another. Just when several people were still curious about why the Eldar appeared here, perhaps affected by the battle just now, a shrill alarm suddenly echoed in the originally silent hall, and this sound undoubtedly attracted the attention of the Nurgle demons wandering on the ground.

As the sound of impact came from overhead, the people underground noticed that the pile of materials originally used to block the gap above was now shaking violently. It was obvious that the monsters on the ground already knew that several people were still alive.

"Still no way to get in touch with the others?"

In response to Gerard's question, Mardo, who was fiddling with a portable communication device, just shook his head helplessly. Seeing that this was not a solution, Gerard had to focus his attention again on the strange building in the distance.

"If you don't want to die, move quickly"

As he spoke, the old soldier glanced at the Eldar woman with her eyes rolled back on the ground, and then instructed the big man beside him.

"And don't forget to bring that guy with you."

Lori on the side seemed very puzzled by such a request.

"That Eldar woman? Don't you even intend to let the aliens go?"

Hearing this, Gerard gave the kid a helpless look.

"God knows what that girl knows, maybe she can be useful to us."

Soon after the words fell, as Ironsheet and Wally slid down, a swarm of Nurgle's stinking flies broke through the barriers above and hovered over the underground hall. At the same time, countless plague zombies had climbed through the gaps between the ruins.

With the sound of bones and muscles breaking, corpses fell one after another to the side of the four people. For a moment, it was as if a rain of corpses fell in the hall. As time passed, more and more twisted and strange figures began to appear in the dark shadow.
"run!"

As the words fell, Gerard, without having time to think, had already grasped Lori's arm, and then the four of them ran towards the direction of the mechanical fortress without looking back.

However, not long after they stepped in, the scene before them made Gerard begin to doubt that he seemed to have made a wrong decision.

"For the Emperor's sake, what on earth is this?!"

This place is really too wide. Apart from a command tower leading to the upper platform, there is no place to hide around. From the macro cannons suspended by mechanical arms above the fortress and various weapon modules comparable to battleships, it is not difficult to tell that this seems to be an engineering workshop for assembling some giant military equipment.

At the same time, a tide of plague zombies rushed into this strange factory. Although they were weak enemies, their number was now more than the atoms in the four of them.

Being besieged in this environment with no cover or hiding place is a disaster.
Gerard had no choice but to grit his teeth and lead his team members to climb the stairs leading to the command platform, trying to use the terrain advantage to block the zombies as much as possible and see if there is any way to break the deadlock.
As time went by, in order to buy more time for Gerard and his crew, the big guy had used his huge body to block the stairs going up, but facing the pressure of the zombies, even he could not effectively stop the plague army.

"I can't hold on any longer!"

While the Ogryns were still struggling with the army, the other three people who were already in the command room were going crazy in front of the operating table in front of them that was covered with unfamiliar words.

I didn't expect this to be a dead end. Looking at the Nurgle demons climbing up the steel structure outside the command tower, after using psychic current to drive back another group of stinking flies trying to fly in from the window, Lori couldn't help but continue to urge.

"Think of a solution quickly!"

"How should I know what to do?!"

As he spoke, Gerard looked at the unconscious Eldar woman again.

Suspecting that the guy might know something, Mardo is now trying every way to wake him up. However, after slapping him thirteen times in a row, the other party shows no signs of waking up.

"Oh shit!"

After cursing under his breath, Gerard, who felt like crying but had no tears, imitated the big guy and slapped the dormant panel on his right hand with a slap in annoyance.

Then, a miracle happened
A low and strange mechanical sound began to sound in the operation room, and then the originally dark factory suddenly lit up.

At the same time, in the Holy Light Prayer Hall located in the [Hymn Throne].

At this time, Otto was quietly waiting for the birth of the first batch of hymn girls, as the crystal injected the power of [Holy Light] and free souls into the bodies of the half-elven people.

Not long after, the first girl from the alliance opened her eyes.

Just as Otto was about to step forward to observe the other party's situation, an unusual message appeared in front of him.

[We have received an application to use the Relic Cyberlux Arsenal]

【Applicant: Gerard】

【Do you grant authorization? 】

A Cyberlux megastructure?

I didn't expect them to find such an interesting toy.
As Otto made his choice, new changes soon occurred in the content.

【Authorized use】

[The giant battle body is starting up.]
