Warhammer 40 Spring: Loyalty of the Multiverse

Chapter 31 Monster Appears
"Received. Update operational orders!"

……

Fragrant City - Shattered Dome Base -

Cai Tiantong stared at the source of the flashing alarm on the holographic screen with a grim expression.

Just now, the alarm sounded again in the operations command center. It was the familiar alarm signaling the opening of a wormhole, and the location was right where the monsters frequently appeared.

Investigations revealed that there were two monsters this time, both level four. Because both monsters were close to the seabed, their exact appearance could not be observed, and therefore their codenames have not yet been determined.
After emerging from the wormhole, the two monsters headed straight for Edo without hesitation.

"All mobile mechs, deploy immediately."

"Where is the monster's signal coming from this time?"

"Based on their route analysis, their target is Edo. Sir!"

"What are the characteristics and level of the monster?"

“They are all level four,” Cai Tiantong replied, “but they are close to the seabed, and we cannot detect their features yet, sir.”

"Sound the alarm immediately."

……

As the sirens ripped through the sky, chaos erupted within the shattered dome base of Xiangcheng. A massive mechanical gate slowly opened, letting in a torrent of moisture and salty sea air.

The Eureka Raider, a behemoth nearly 80 meters tall, gleams with a cold, metallic sheen. Hydraulic cool air jets expel exhaust fumes from its various nozzles, swirling into thick clouds that obscure the lower half of the mech, making it appear like a colossus descending from the clouds.

Heck Hansen and Chuck Hansen exchanged a glance the instant they confirmed the synesthesia was complete. Despite the deep estrangement between father and son, they remained united in their commitment to protecting human civilization.

"The synesthesia is perfect. The transport plane is being lowered, please prepare."

The large transport platform beneath their feet slowly carried the Eureka Raiders to their designated location.

Dozens of workers waited for the steel cables from the transport planes above to be lowered and secured.

As the latches clicked into place, Cai Tiantong, in the command center, said to Stark Penticost, "Everything is ready, sir."

"Set off."

"Yes."

"All personnel must evacuate from all work platforms within 30 seconds. Departure will commence in 30 seconds. Drivers, please prepare."

As the transport helicopter slowly gained lift, the massive Eureka Raider gradually detached from the transport platform and ascended into the air.

Those enormous steel feet made all the workers below look up in awe. Even after seeing them countless times, every time this happened, everyone would instinctively swallow hard, feeling a mixture of fear and dread, as well as excitement and pride.

This is the immense power of human civilization's industrial strength.

"Work platform has been cleared, Cherno Alfa, please prepare."

As one of the pinnacle works of Russian industrial engineering, the Cerno Alfa perfectly inherits the rugged style of Russia's heavy industry.

The towering nuclear reactor overhead, resembling a heavy hammer armor, and the steel fists clenched like those of a boxer, all showcase the wild style of the Russians.

Especially with the red, one-eyed helmets of Alexis Kadnovsky and Sasha Kadnovsky falling from the rugged, post-apocalyptic-style cockpit, this rugged melee mech officially started up.

The moment the engine starts, the Russian's signature hardcore music fills the cockpit.

As the armor plates on all parts of the mech began to rise and fall, terrifying heat was expelled from the huge turbine fans on both sides of its head.

The mech officially started up, and it slowly raised its massive fists before slamming them together. The roar caused some of the staff nearby to instinctively cover their ears.

"Pilots, please prepare." The roar of machinery mingled with the howling sea wind. The giant transport plane, like a soaring eagle, hovered above the base as the gate at the top slowly opened. Thick steel cables, like silver pythons, cascaded down to the ground.

After the steel cables were secured by the workers, the work platform was completely cleared. An indicator light suddenly illuminated. The transport plane's engine roared deafeningly, the steel cables slowly tightened, and the Chernobog was steadily hoisted. The heavy, interwoven red and silver feet once again appeared above everyone's heads. Especially noticeable was the sharp object protruding from the opening below—a bursting steel needle.

It allows the Cherno Alpha to be anchored to the ground when necessary, forming a steel fortress.

When the base detaches from the carrier platform, a strong wind howls.

"Fellow countrymen, let us fight for humanity once again."

Stark Penticost's impeccable British accent rang out in the cockpits of the two mechs.

"For humanity."

……

Little days, cabinet!

"Baka!" the Prime Minister cursed angrily. His face was flushed red with rage, and veins bulged. This was truly a difficult situation for this elderly man in his seventies.

"A monster appeared in Sapporo yesterday, how come it's appearing again today?"

“Prime Minister, this is very likely caused by that demon and the armored man.”

"Do you think I don't know?" the prime minister roared at his subordinate who was trying to show off, then pondered for a moment, "Have the base at Okutama Sanzan prepare. If the situation becomes unavoidable, then destroy the base and transport its contents as quickly as possible."

"Hi!"

……

Quan Tiehua and all his comrades-in-arms had assembled. In total, only 43 people remained alive.

The commander and Gers were unable to carry out combat missions due to injuries.

Although they all survived and managed to regroup, their increased activity during the regrouping process led to their location being discovered by the soldiers.

Tanks, armored vehicles, and soldiers with heavy firepower are slowly gathering here, while armed helicopters hover around them from time to time, marking their positions.

This forced some Astartes to waste their already limited explosives, blowing up all of these helicopters.

Although the standard-issue explosive rounds they currently have are not enough to penetrate the armor of a modern main battle tank with a single shot, they can still destroy these poorly defended attack helicopters.

Even relying on the combat experience and reaction speed of the veterans in the regiment, they aimed for a few seconds, predicted the trajectory of the attack, and then shot down three or four high-speed fighter jets that were flying past them.

This phenomenon silenced the entire air force. To be honest, for technologically advanced countries, building airplanes is easy, but training pilots is difficult.

"Go. Go. Go. Fire!"

Soldier America was shouting loudly, while the turret of the M1 main battle tank following behind slowly rotated, its cannon aimed at the bunker where the Seraphim were hiding.

Behind them, the ACV wheeled amphibious armored vehicles also found cover and stopped, allowing América's soldiers to jump out from behind.

boom.

A single shot fired, sending smoke and dust billowing, shrapnel flying everywhere. But for Astartes, whose reaction speed was beyond human comprehension, it was negligible. Apart from the shockwave and reverberation from the explosion, nothing else harmed them.

"Outflanking. Close combat." Quan Tiehua had already seen the soldiers pull out some individual rocket launchers from the armored vehicles.

……

Do you guys think we should go through the wormhole to the Pioneer world later on? Also, I'm a bit stuck right now. Any suggestions?
