I am a green-skinned master

The good news is that the Waaagh position is still active in the webway, and will become more and more active as more and more greenskins enter.

The bad news is that it is difficult to contact other greenskins. It is difficult to contact the outside and the inside. We can only contact another group of greenskins with a size of only tens of thousands. The reason why we can contact them is just because we are close enough.

The reason for this situation seems to be the webway, which is too large... The crazy guys said that they felt that the expanded area of ​​the webway where Boss Copperhead was located exceeded that of an ordinary planet.

The cunning boss outside calculated based on the psychic data provided by the crazy boys that the greenskins who rushed into the webway were probably randomly teleported into a webway area the size of a galaxy.

This... is very tricky. Even if we send all the greenskins on the ice planet into the Webway, we still can't fill the space.

For the first time, the sly boss was amazed at the size of the webway.

"Waizui, notify other star regions. I need more guys...more, enough to fill up a galaxy. Have them wear their weapons and equipment as best as possible and wait for my orders."

Since the webway is big, it must be able to accommodate more greenskin boys. First, gather more boys, and then proceed in three steps: explore the webway, understand the webway, and control the webway.

Chapter 365: Meat Grinder-like Battle

The original Skug Webway gate is definitely not enough, so a new one must be built, a larger one that can enter Titan.

In short, this experiment was successful. The sly boss experienced the process of injecting souls into the Squig Webway with his ability above that of a demigod. Next time, building a Webway gate won't be so troublesome and require so many emotions. You can try to use authority to copy the process.

Boss Slippery found Blade and discussed with him the construction of a new webway gate. His clone Little Slippery and Boss Copperhead continued to explore the webway and find a good place to build a forward base.

Since the Webway can accommodate more life forms than the entire Milky Way, its volume is not much smaller than the Milky Way. Exploring the Webway is destined to be a time-consuming and laborious project.

While the slippery Boss was studying the Webway, part of His ego, Heavenly Master Zhang Jue, had already been fighting in Ovisgrad for five months.

During these five months, the Yellow Turbans defeated three Astra Militarum Legions, burying tens of millions of Astra Militarum corpses in the land of Ovisgrad. The six Space Marine companies from the Green Ring Guardians also suffered heavy losses, with more than half of them killed or wounded.

In orbit, in the conference room of an Emperor-class battleship, a military meeting was going on intensely.

Levini angrily rebuked the Astra Militarum general in front of her, "You are such an incompetent bunch of rubbish! Your survival is a waste of the Empire's resources and food! A group of civilians and cultists actually caused heavy losses to you who are said to be well-equipped and well-trained!"

"Your Excellency the Inquisitor!" A general of the Astra Militarum, with his head bowed, said with a red face, "I cannot accept such an insult. Such an accusation hurts the honor of the Imperial Guard!"

"Shut up!" Levinie angrily interrupted the general who interrupted. "You can only talk about glory with me if you win the battle! When you are killed by the cultists like animals, and your corpses are scattered all over the battlefield, can they talk about glory?"

The Astra Militarum generals surrounding Levini blushed, not knowing how to refute. In the end, they were indeed useless, suffering heavy casualties but unable to capture a planet occupied by the rebels.

If the demigod Space Marines had not also suffered heavy casualties, the Astra Militarum generals would have been even more embarrassed.

Space Marines have a strong sense of independence. Levini can scold the Astra Militarum generals, but she dare not scold them. If she angers these demigods, Levini's identity as an inquisitor may not be able to save her life.

Rex, the Chapter Master of the Green Ring Guardian Space Marines, did not expect the battle of Ovisgrad to be so difficult. He thought the six Space Marine companies he brought were enough, but he did not expect that only two companies were still able to fight.

The battle with the cultists also moved him. On the battlefield, he saw with his own eyes that the Astra Militarum and the cultists fought each other for a dilapidated building dozens of times, and each time they would not stop until the ground was covered with corpses.

It's fine on the Astra Militarum side, the soldiers of the Krieg Death Korps don't take their own lives seriously, and the same is true for the cultists!

Rex was sure that most of these cultists had not been blessed by Chaos, and their strength was at the level of mortals, but their will and courage far exceeded that of mortals. They often shouted "Huang Tian Dang" and rushed forward to engage in bloody hand-to-hand combat with Krieg soldiers.

The cultists were inadequately trained and were at a disadvantage in hand-to-hand combat, but they would detonate the grenades on their bodies, hug the Krieg soldiers and die with them.

Among these cultists, there are old people, women, and teenagers, and they are all fearless.

Rex didn't understand why ordinary people who had not been brainwashed by the power of chaos would burst out with such a strong fighting spirit. If everyone on this planet was like this, even if they wiped out the Astra Militarum, it would not be enough to fill the gap.

"Should we try another method, such as... an extermination order?" Rex said in between Levinie's scolding.

The extermination order is indeed a good idea. Levini is also qualified to sign the extermination order, and the fleet also has virus bombs and cyclone torpedoes. As long as Levini wants, she can make life on the planet Ovisgrad no longer exist.

Rex's words made Levini hesitate for a moment, then she shook her head and said, "It's useless. The virus bomb can only kill cultists who are not contaminated by the power of chaos, and our target is already a demon. This weapon has no effect on him."

"Killing ordinary cultists on a large scale will make them sacrifices, and sacrifice their souls to Chaos. Cyclone torpedoes won't work either. It's true that physical expulsion is also a form of expulsion, but the damage is too minor for the target, and he will be reborn soon."

"Ah." Levini sighed tiredly, "Based on experience, the target this time will be one of the most powerful demons the Inquisition has ever faced. If he is not handled properly, he will definitely grow into a notorious demon."

"So, to deal with the target, we must use the special expulsion method of the Inquisition to at least prevent this demon from threatening the empire for thousands of years."

Levinie waved her hand and drove out most of the Astra Militarum generals, leaving only Hanks, the newly promoted general of the Krieg Death Korps.

"I have already asked for help from the nearby star regions. Judging from the time, the Wrathful Space Marines and two Astra Militarum Legions will arrive in two days."

Levinie's gaze lingered on both Rex and Hanks for a second, soothing them with her eyes.

"For the Empire, we must continue to fight."

"Fortunately, these cultists did not summon demons or warp portals, and their combat capabilities are still at the level of mortals."

Pointing to the strategic map in front of her, Levini glanced at Hanks and said, "We have achieved some strategic results. Thanks to the heroic efforts of the Kriegs and the excellent command of General Hanks, we have occupied most of the surface of Ovisgrad."

"And... according to the information sent by the assassins, the commander of the Orvis Fortress is Zhang Jue, the Heavenly Master mentioned by the pagans."

A Grey Knight wearing a helmet and full armor came out from the corner and pointed his finger at Fort Orvis on the map.

The voice coming from the power armor was calm and dull, "I can confirm that this intelligence is correct. This is our chance to expel the demon."

"Grandmaster Hawke? What are your plans?" Levinie shouted in confusion. The Grey Knights were also very independent. Nominally they were under the jurisdiction of the Inquisition, but when it came to critical moments, the Grey Knights basically acted on their own.

In such military meetings, they basically do not speak, and once they speak, it is to express their attitudes.

"Launch an attack here. My brothers and I will find a way to find that demon and expel him." Grand Master Hawke said in a muffled voice.

Chapter 366 Life is the fuel of war

"It seems... that the siege of Fort Orvis is inevitable..." Levinie muttered to herself.

"The Krieg Death Corps can take on the main attack mission. Isn't that why you kept me here? Your Excellency the Inquisitor?" After experiencing several years of war, Hanks has grown into an outstanding general of the Astra Militarum.

He became silent, absolutely obedient to orders, ruthless to the enemy, and strict with himself. His red one-eyed eye seemed to have seen too many lives and deaths, and it was somewhat numb.

"I can still gather one and a half companies on my side. My regiment has suffered heavy losses. This is the maximum force I can give." Rex said after thinking for a while.

He was considering the survival and reconstruction of the regiment, and at least wanted to retain some backbone members to facilitate the reconstruction of the regiment in the future.

Levinie was very dissatisfied with what Rex said about the one and a half companies of Space Marines. She speculated that if those Space Marines whose injuries were not seriously injured were counted, the Green Ring Guards could at least gather three and a half companies.

It's just... she couldn't show her dissatisfaction. As mentioned before, the Space Marines were inherently very independent. Even if they withdrew from the battle now on the grounds that the damage to the chapter was too great, Levinie would be unable to do anything.

At most, after the war, Levinie would write a letter of complaint to the Military Affairs Department, hoping that the high lords would punish these demigods.

Not thinking about those distant things, Levinie lowered her head and looked at the map. Even if there was only one and a half companies, plus the supporting Space Marine Chapter... and including the Grey Knights, there were almost a thousand Space Marines.

A fully staffed regiment of Space Marines should have no problem taking down a pagan fortress and expelling the demons inside.

Thinking of this, Levinie smiled and began to actively discuss with Captain Rex and General Hanks how to carry out the offensive plan.

The Ovisgrad Fortress was built in a valley. Above the fortress was a huge mountain that was thousands of meters high. This dangerous place was the basis for Ovisgrad's easy defense and difficult attack.

In addition, the fortress was originally built on top of the mineral layer, which made the mountain even more solid.

Not only the air force, but even orbital bombing from space would find it difficult to cause serious damage to the main structure of the fortress.

Only one tenth of the fortress's main structure is located above ground, and the rest is all underground. The nearby mineral veins provided a large amount of metal for the construction of the fortress, and the main structure of the fortress is almost entirely made of refined gold.

Bunkers, artillery positions, and minefields are not only scattered outside the fortress, but also inside it, all in preparation for resistance.

In the previous five months of fighting, the Astra Militarum had launched attacks on the fortress, but all of these attacks had failed, resulting in the loss of many lives.

The proportion of Astra Militarum deserters shot by the political commissars here is two to three times higher than in other areas. Except for the Death Korps of Krieg, other Astra Militarum legions are afraid to attack here.

Inside the fortress, in the command room, Heavenly Master Zhang Jue was looking slightly distressed as he held the casualty information in his hand.

The battle was so brutal that according to the original plan, it would take at least a year for it to become like this.

At the beginning, in order to drag the imperial reactionary army into a ground battle, he directly gave up the defense of the airport, giving the reactionaries the illusion that it would be easy to occupy Ovisgrad.

Unexpectedly, the reactionary attack was even more fierce than expected. They directly used orbital bombardment to blast a path through the North and South Poles, and then sent a large number of Astra Militarum troops to land and advance city by city.

Every time they captured a city, regardless of whether it resisted or surrendered, the Astra Militarum would raze the city to the ground and kill all the residents.

Originally, Ovisgrad was simply mobilized by the Yellow Turban Army. Many local residents did not understand the uprising or the Yellow Heaven. They only joined the rebel army in order to survive and have a better life.

Therefore, when faced with life-threatening situations, cities with low awareness are unlikely to fight to the death and fight to the last man. From a human perspective, giving up one's life for an ideal is truly rare.

When the atrocities of the Astra Militarum destroying cities and killing everyone began to spread to the entire planet through the Yellow Turban Army's propaganda machine, people began to truly believe what Zhang Jue said, and believed that only resistance would give them a chance of survival.

Ovisgrad has truly become a bloody battlefield of a meat grinder.

The rebel soldiers and civilians resisted fiercely, and the Astra Militarum attacked fiercely. In some key battlefields, hundreds of Space Marines often appeared to carry out decapitation strikes.

Ordinary people are too weak and fragile in front of the Space Marines. The death of thousands of Rebel soldiers may not necessarily replace the casualties of one Space Marine.

"What if there are a thousand? Even if it's ten thousand for one, we have to exchange! No matter how powerful those Corpse King's lackeys are, they can't kill our faith. The Corpse King is dead, and Huang Tian should be established!"

In front of Zhang Jue, a general of the Yellow Turban Army said angrily.

The battlefield of blood and fire is the best stage for tempering steel. After experiencing that the good life brought by the Yellow Turban Rebellion was destroyed by the suppression forces of the Human Empire, those who were once cowardly and hesitant all gave up their fantasies and threw themselves into the struggle.

Cheng Mingrui wanted to say that the losses were too great and that he should change his fighting style, but he didn't know how to start.

He is the Heavenly Master, the backbone of the righteous army, and he cannot have any hesitation or weakness. At least, he cannot be seen by other righteous soldiers.

"Yes, you can't be weak. It's not that a warrior can't be weak. A warrior is one who faces his own weakness, confronts it, looks at it squarely, and defeats it." Khorne's words appeared in Cheng Mingrui's mind.

"An uprising is not a dinner party, and slogans are not shouted out casually. To achieve success and the throne, what is needed is a boiling soul, intense emotions, and countless lives."

"These are the words I know from your memory. I find them very interesting..."

Cheng Mingrui pressed his head in his sea of ​​consciousness, "Yes, you are right. In fact, I was not aware enough. I used to have a playful mentality. However, when I really saw women, the elderly, and children holding weapons and rushing to the battlefield and dying on the battlefield, I was still moved..."

"Twenty billion lives...all gone in five months. They were just numbers in the report. Before they died, they shouted the slogan of Huang Tian Dang Li. I could hear their strong emotions in my sea of ​​consciousness. I could feel their lives and their deaths with my own eyes."

"This is... indeed very heavy."

"Hahahaha, not enough, not enough." The sound of Khorne's laughter was very creepy, as if it was the sound of waves and tides colliding in an ocean filled with blood.

"This is how the world is. I was born in an endless, boiling red ocean. The frenzied emotions of trillions of creatures boiled the ocean of consciousness. At that time, in my opinion, the world had only one color: red, the color of blood."

"It's okay, you'll get used to it." After saying this, there was a hint of madness in Khorne's laughter.

That's right, in 40k, how can the evil gods not be crazy? The sane ones are the minority.

Chapter 367 Eight Trials

"I understand... This is the price, the price of my ascension to godhood." Cheng Mingrui's voice was surprisingly calm. "You haven't been around much lately. How come you remembered to come and chat with me today?"

Khorne stopped his terrifying laughter and said calmly after a while, "Your first trial is coming soon."

"Trial?"

"Well, this is the rule. There are eight times in total. Only after you pass all of them, your soul and rank will be sublimated and you can truly ascend to the throne of God."

"Then you came here to remind me, not to help me, that's not like your style." Cheng Mingrui said doubtfully.

"Of course not. I am just reminding you that not only will I not help you, I will also take away some of your blessings. This is your test, and it depends on your own efforts and courage."

"Of course, it doesn't matter if you fail. Just like I promised, I will revive you."

"Thank you, but I can be resurrected, but other mortals cannot. I will fight with them until the last moment." Cheng Mingrui's tone was full of determination. "You can take my blessing and keep those given to mortals, otherwise the empire's firepower advantage will be too obvious."

"No problem, I will watch over you." After saying that, Khorne's voice disappeared from Cheng Mingrui's mind.

The communication with Khorne took only one minute in the consciousness space. In the real world, the generals of the Yellow Turban Army had already discussed the key points of defending the fortress.

Ovisgrad was extremely strong and not difficult to defend. The defensive strategy was enough to make the reactionaries of the empire unable to return.

Being energetic is a good thing. Looking at the Yellow Turban Army general in front of him, Cheng Mingrui was also very pleased.

They are brave, energetic, and growing very fast. If... I am gone, they should be able to keep fighting.

Suddenly, a picture entered Cheng Mingrui's mind. A team of outer scouts were killed in a sudden attack by several Space Marines. Before their death, the memories and beliefs of these scouts were absorbed by Cheng Mingrui.

A colleague brought new information to Cheng Mingrui. Judging from the emblem on the shoulder, it is a new Space Marine chapter!

"Is this the trial that Khorne mentioned?" Cheng Mingrui raised the corner of his mouth slightly. "If it's just a Space Marine, the first trial would be too easy."

The Battle of Orvis Fortress officially began. Krieg's petrified lizard artillery regiment took the lead in launching an artillery attack. The roar of thousands of Krieg artillery pieces at the same time shook the entire earth.

The trenches, barbed wire, minefields, and bunkers outside the fortress all suffered severe damage, with shells overturning most of them and clearing out some safety belts.

After a few whistles, Krieg soldiers wearing gas masks formed neat squares and prepared to launch an attack.

The Krieg people, who have been educated in sacrifice since childhood, regard their death as their destination and they wait in silence.

At the front of the phalanx, the political commissars only stated the purpose of this battle, without much explanation or morale boosting. At one command, the Kriegs stepped onto the battlefield.

Everything was calm at first. The Kriegs crouched and moved forward steadily. It seemed that the previous firepower preparation had destroyed all the firing points outside the fortress.

Of course, this was just a fantasy. Facing the defense line that Cheng Mingrui had personally commanded and reinforced several times, that little firepower was far from enough.

A tongue of fire spewed out from a bunker in the ruins, mowing down many Krieg soldiers like wheat.
