Warhammer, but Emperor's Chosen

"The Genestealers will not sit still and wait for death. Rebellion is to be expected. But this is only a small-scale rebellion, affecting only a few blocks. Although the hundreds of thousands of Genestealers are an astonishing number, they lack long-range firepower. We can suppress it as long as we mobilize enough troops!"

Compared with the Astra Militarum, PDF is indeed a little weaker, but it is by no means a useless waste!

The human empire's Astra Militarum numbered in the billions, and the number of PDFs was dozens or even hundreds of times theirs.

In many cases, whether a planet is in rebellion or invaded by aliens or chaos, PDF is often the first line of defense for the planet. And only if PDF can hold out until the Astra Militarum and other imperial reinforcements arrive, the planet has a chance to be saved.

Therefore, even the most insect-like nobles dare not slack off on the training and armament of PDF. After all, this is the cornerstone of maintaining their rule!

Compared with the monsters in the galaxy, the rebellion is really just a minor incident, and the local PDF has long been familiar with it. Even without the help of Noah and the Space Marines, they can actually handle it, but there will be more casualties, lower efficiency, and they will be driven out of the nest if they are not careful.

At times like this, Zaku is needed to handle the situation.

-----------------

In fact, the 102nd Regiment’s defense line was not so easy to break through.

Even if there were only a few hundred soldiers from the third company on the defense line, they could hold out until reinforcements arrived with the laser guns in their hands, the continuous fire from armored vehicles, and the fire cover from the artillery positions in the rear.

But when the company commander and political commissar who were commanding the battle on the front line were hunted by aliens hiding in the darkness, facing the ugly mutants who were attacking the defense line like a tide, and the terrifying aliens who were constantly hunting their comrades in the darkness, the company's morale quickly fell to the bottom, and a rout occurred naturally.

They fled all the way to the second line of defense, and finally saw friendly positions in their sight.

But before they could show their relief at surviving the disaster, a beam of light pierced through their bodies.

The political commissar pulled out his laser pistol and ruthlessly shot a soldier who had moved in without permission, because he could not allow these fleeing soldiers to attack his position.

The political commissar roared:

"All deserters will be executed on the spot! Even if he's my own father, he must die!"

"We must hold the line! As long as reinforcements arrive, everything will be fine!"

Behind the fleeing soldiers was a horde of aliens surging forward like a purple tide. They roared and used their sharp claws to catch up with and tear apart the fleeing soldiers, and were then shot to death with laser guns by the PDFs in the defense line.

hiss!

The Genestealers crawled along pipes and on top of houses, using the cover of buildings and shadows to quietly approach the Astra Militarum's defenses.

Unlike their kinsmen who have strong beliefs, the morale of these human soldiers is very easy to collapse. As long as you prioritize hunting down their political commissars and commanders, and then apply a little psionic influence to amplify the fear of humans, they will be scared to death and throw away their weapons.

This time is no exception.

It carefully observed the human position and caught sight of the political commissar who was roaring and giving orders...

hiss!

Just before launching a sneak attack, it raised its head and looked towards the sky vigilantly.

A giant silver-white mecha descended from the sky and landed outside the human position. Its divination array captured the chicken thief on the roof, and the plasma cannon on its right arm aimed at it. A plasma shot blew the chicken thief and the house into ashes.

At the same time, the two incineration cannons on its back had already been aimed at the human enemies in front of the defense line!

puff!

The promethium flames completely covered the entire street in the blink of an eye, and the scorching heat burned all the aliens in the range into ashes almost instantly. The terrifying power stunned the PDFs on the defense line, and they even forgot to open fire for a while.

Even the political commissar forgot to scold them, because he didn't think any alien could survive the burning of the promethium flame.

The scorching heat wave brought the political commissar back to his senses. His reason told him that he should command the troops to assist the Knight in defense. When the Knight's promethium ran out, they would be needed to consolidate the defense line!

The political commissar believed so and was determined to fight to the death to protect the Lord Knight!

It’s a pity that he never got such an opportunity.

The Knight did not stop firing until he had burned hundreds of thousands of aliens on the street to ashes and the entire block to the ground. The commissar could not tell whether he was forced to stop firing because he had just run out of promethium or because there were no more aliens to burn.

-----------------

"Sir, the rebellion in Sector K-253 has been suppressed, and the 102nd Regiment is clearing out the remaining aliens!"

The officer who made the report breathed a sigh of relief. Although he didn't know how the local PDF held on, at least the rebellion did not spread to other blocks. This was a blessing in disguise.

But he had just rejoiced for a short while when another officer reported with difficulty:

"Sir, there is a rebellion in Sector K-88!"

Noah looked up:

"Genestealer?"

"No, sir, the PDF report says it's a civilian, and the genetic sequencing shows no abnormalities..."

The officer's voice became increasingly low, and even he found it hard to believe.

Obviously, a rebellion has already occurred, so how can there be no abnormality in the gene sequencing? If you are not a cunning person, why are you rebelling?

Although Noah also felt confused at first.

But the number 88, plus the fact that there was no abnormality in the genetic sequencing but a rebellion broke out, could these be Khorne believers?

But the spring cleaning is clearly aimed at the thieves, as long as there is no abnormality in the genetic sequencing.

Noah was too lazy to care even about the cultists because he simply couldn't take care of them.

But who would have thought?

He ignored the cultists, but they insisted on jumping out on their own initiative.

This is shameless, we must strike hard!

"Give orders to the Zhongsi Stormtroopers to rush to the K-88 area to suppress it."

Noah did not dare to be negligent. Although the cultists were indeed an unexpected trouble, fortunately he had a backup plan.

The officer received the new report and said with a strange expression:

"My lord, the rebellion has been suppressed. Those traitors lacked long-range firepower and the special limbs of mutants. They only charged towards the PDF position with crude melee weapons, so they were eliminated by the soldiers in the defense line before they reached the position."

Noah remained silent, which fit his stereotype of Khorne followers.

It’s not outrageous, but it’s actually a bit outrageous.

But it's outrageous and normal at the same time.

The Lower Nest has been completely blocked by PDF, and these Khorne believers have no chance to stir up much unrest, let alone hold sacrificial ceremonies.

But if the cultists cannot summon the demons of the subspace, their own combat effectiveness is just so-so. How can a group of cultists without even weapons defeat the fully armed PDF?

Even if there are psychics among the cultists, as long as they are not too strong, they will still die after being hit by a few lasers!

Noah stopped asking for details and asked:

"Nono, what's the situation with the Soul Drinker?"

Nono reached out to the servo skull and asked it to project a picture:

"The Soul Drinkers have found the Genestealer's lair and are fighting the Genestealer leader."

-----------------

In the dark and damp sewer, Sarpedon looked at the group of pure-blooded thieves who were looking at him in unison, and did not open fire immediately.

And those pure-blooded chicken thieves just stared at him blankly and did not launch an attack immediately.

All this happened too suddenly, and neither side expected to meet here.

Because the Soul Drinker's advancement speed is too fast!

Initially, facing at least millions of pure-blooded chicken thieves from the Underhive, Sarpedon was actually prepared for the huge casualties that the Soul Drinkers would face. However, when the real fight started, he found that things were actually a little better than he had imagined.

On the one hand, since this is not a battle behind enemy lines, the Space Marines do not need to fight alone with limited ammunition. They are accompanied by a large number of servitors, and the main task of these servitors is to help the Space Marines carry ammunition.

With sufficient ammunition, each Space Marine squad can fight one hundred at a time, and the squads can basically ensure that the Genestealers cannot get close by firing alternately. However, due to the complex terrain of the Underhive, pure-blooded chicken thieves can often set up ambushes in advance with their advantage of being more familiar with the terrain, causing the Space Marines to suffer heavy casualties.

But thanks to the reinforcements sent by Noah in advance, each team of Space Marines can be equipped with at least one Zaku.

The Soul Drinker originally thought that this large mecha would have difficulty taking advantage in some narrow terrains, but Zaku proved with actual actions what absolute firepower advantage means. All conspiracies and tricks are in vain!

Unlike Space Marines who need to reload frequently in fierce battles, these Zaku assigned to Soul Drinkers do not have the blessing of unlimited ammunition, but their ammunition capacity is still far superior to that of Space Marines. They do not need to replenish ammunition frequently, and their firepower is also much stronger than that of Space Marines.

Whether it's an incinerator, a multi-melta, or an ion cannon, the ammunition is stronger than that of a Space Marine's bolter.

Although Space Marines also have ion cannons and multi-meltas, due to the strict regulations of the Astartes Codex, not every Space Marine is qualified to use such weapons, even if they have extra stocks.

Don't ask why, because the Codex Astartes is sacred and inviolable!

This is why Space Marines often suffer heavy losses. When a group of Space Marines with only bolters face an enemy that is too powerful for their bolters to penetrate, their courage often cannot save them.

But now it’s different, Zaku’s powerful firepower and Space Marines are a perfect match!

What the Space Marines lack in firepower, the Zaku makes up for.

What the Zaku lacks in mobility in tight terrain, the Space Marine can make up for.

The cooperation between the two sides was very tacit from the beginning. Sarpedon did not put on airs as a Space Marine, but worked out the most efficient combat plan from the beginning.

Often when a battle occurs, it is the Zaku that gives priority to fire coverage and long-range strikes, while the Space Marines only need to kill lone enemies.

This maximizes the efficiency of your firepower and avoids wasting ammunition on the same enemy.

It was also with the assistance of Zaku that the Space Marines' advancement speed far exceeded expectations, and they killed their way to the depths of the nest.

But precisely because their advance was too smooth, they happened to run head-on into the cunning tribe leader who was regrouping his troops.

After a brief moment of surprise, the battle between the two sides was about to break out!

Zaku opened fire first, and each plasma cannon shot could kill dozens or even hundreds of chickens in the group that were unable to dodge.

Amid the roar of the Chicken Thief Chief, the Chicken Thieves immediately dispersed and climbed up the walls and ceiling, attacking the Space Marines from all directions.

The incinerator cannon spewed out triple-blessed promethium flames, burning the Genestealers to ashes amid their roars. The blazing flames illuminated the dark sewers as bright as day!

After all, the chicken thieves were also flesh and blood, and could not withstand the firepower of the Zaku, so most of them were easily killed. Those chicken thieves who managed to escape the firepower net would also be quickly killed by the Space Marines and could not cause much trouble at all.

The chicken thieves are still charging because this is already their nest.

The cunning leader roared and led the charge. Behind them was their home and they had no way to retreat!

"For the Emperor!"

Sarpedon shouted the name of the Emperor and took the initiative to greet the thief chief.

Shining psionic energy wrapped around the spear in his hand, and his eyes flashed with blue psionic light.

Although there is still a huge gap in the size of the two sides, the outcome of a battle is never determined by size!

-----------------

"For the Emperor!"

The images captured by Zaku were transmitted to the headquarters in real time. When Noah saw the Genestealer leader take the initiative to attack, he knew that the outcome of the battle had been decided!

If the Genestealer leader chooses to preserve his strength, he may still have a chance to escape successfully under the cover of many thieves.

But since it didn't run away, but instead fought back at the Space Marines, it was a bit difficult to judge the situation.

Although the Space Marines were indeed outnumbered, reinforcements were on the way and would arrive before the Zaku ran out of ammunition.

Sarpedon, as the chief think tank of the Soul Drinkers, is even more powerful than the Chapter Master of the Soul Drinkers. Especially since he has weapons that the Primarch once used, his strength has changed dramatically.

Although the thief chief is not weak, there is still a small gap compared to Sarpedon.

Once the leader of the Chicken Thieves is killed, the remaining Chicken Thieves will no longer pose a threat. Although there are still a lot of hybrid Chicken Thieves, without a leader they will not be able to organize an effective counterattack, and the casualties of PDF and Space Marines will be greatly reduced.

This spring cleaning may be finished early.

Chapter 97 If you don’t take money from the poor, whose money will you take?

"Lord Angel!"

PDF's mortal soldiers performed the Skyeagle Salute and watched with reverence as the Space Marines strode into the command center. The power armor of these superhuman warriors was covered with clotted and mottled blood, and a few of them had scratches on their chests and shoulder armor left by alien claws.

Inside the command center, Noah was busy processing the documents and reports sent from various hives in Dagonus.

In the past six months, Noah has been cleaning up the hives on Dagonus at all costs. It started with the main hive of Dagonus, and then expanded to all 372 hives on the planet. No matter the upper hive, middle hive or lower hive, everyone has to undergo strict gene sequencing.

Similarly, the bottom nests of all hives must be thoroughly cleaned.
