As long as you die, you are invincible, but in 40K

The situation has improved a little, but it is not yet to the point where he can act alone. It seems that given his current physical condition, he will probably need some time to recover, but it is also a good time for him to make some preparations before the war.

Just as Zhang Ge was considering various matters, a young man who had been staring at him repeatedly stood up and walked over. The outer Star Army naturally stopped him. However, after they reported the situation to Zhang Ge, Zhang Ge said:

"Let him come over here, I want to hear what he wants to say."

After several Star Realm military personnel used instruments to check that the young man had no explosives or anything like that on him, they let him go.

Coming to Zhang Ge, he said bluntly without any politeness:

"I remember you. You promised us we could win. Now... tell me, can we still win?"

Looking at his slightly childish face, Zhang Ge replied:

"Well, before I answer that question, I want to ask you, what is your view on winning?"

"My view on winning is, of course, defeating the enemy."

"Okay, then we'll win."

Seeing Zhang Ge's decisive answer, he was a little unsure of how to respond, but he quickly questioned:

"Why do you say that?"

"If you don't believe what I say, why are you asking me?"

The young man was speechless for a moment, but Zhang Ge continued:

"I and those who believe in me will die before you. That's why I dare to tell you now that we will win. If we do, you can live and enjoy your victory. If we don't, we will have already left the Golden Throne. You won't be able to catch up with us to settle the score."

He patted him on the shoulder and asked someone to send him away.

To be honest, the question of whether to win or not has always been difficult to answer, especially in a situation like this. He is definitely not the only one who has this mentality, but fortunately Zhang Ge doesn't have to care about it at all.

Win? Just wait, I win if I die, and you just lie down.

However, just as he was thinking this, the young man who was being pushed away struggled to stretch out his arm, raised his middle finger to Zhang Ge, and shouted:

"Just wait, you boastful bastard! I'm going to get to the throne first and wait until you get here. If you tell me you lose then, I'm going to beat you up! Let go, I can walk by myself!"

His words made the Astra Militarum soldiers around him burst into laughter. Although his tone was cursing and not as rigid and neutral as at the beginning, the atmosphere among the Astra Militarum soldiers who were trying to stop him became much friendlier.

When the young man returned to his small group, the Star Army soldier behind him kicked him in the butt. Seeing the other party rushing towards him angrily, he easily dodged and tripped him, but grabbed his shoulders and pulled him straight before he was knocked down.

The Astra Militarum soldier took off his bulletproof helmet, put it on his head, and said with a smile:

"This is for you. Remember to help me throw one more punch when the time comes."

These laughs mixed with the wails that occasionally passed by his side, but they did not fade away.

Seeing this, Zhang Ge could only shake his head helplessly.

But the matter did not end there. This brief farce soon attracted the attention of other people in the main hall. They soon realized that the man who was being supported and looked a little weak was the one who was hyped.

The main hall, which was originally a little noisy, gradually became quiet.

Some were waiting for his next words, some were there to laugh at his joke, some really hoped that Zhang Ge would say something, or some simply wanted to relax from their tense state.

Looking around, Zhang Ge said:

"As you can see, the warships they dropped weren't much more effective against me than lasers. It seems they'll need something more powerful to kill me."

Chapter 70: The First Bird to Stand Out

This sentence is not meant to inspire them. In fact, when war really comes to everyone's head, continuing to try to express something with words will only make it more pale.

The eternal separation from relatives and friends, the horror of witnessing horrific things, the warmth of shrapnel and lasers brushing past your side, and decades of life being easily shattered.

When those linguistically embellished things are actually presented before them, words such as "sacrifice" and "dedication" that may have been glossed over in a speech for half a second can be understood as having their true meaning implied between the words.

Therefore, this sentence is just conveying a message to them that is more concise than what is said: I am still alive and I don’t intend to give up.

What's the most appropriate way to describe Zhang Ge now? Spiritual leader, or even leader? Neither seems quite right.

He searched in his mind and found a description that suited him:

The first one to stick his head out.

That's right, he is now the bird that sticks out and is about to be shot. This is true for him, but it also means another thing to the other birds in the flock.

The gun will not be pointed at them until the first bird that stands out is shot dead.

Despair, numbness, fear or something else, although no one says it explicitly, but it is like the cold air sinking down, freezing everyone inside without being seen or touched.

If this trend continues, emotions will consume them before the enemy actually arrives.

And now, when everyone's attention was focused, Zhang Ge became the one who put the brakes on the sliding emotions. He only needed to be alive to make those who saw him feel that at least the next shot would not hit them, and let the depression that was about to continue to slide be paused for a while.

As for the risks involved, needless to say, Zhang Ge himself didn't care about it at all. He just hoped that the man with the gun would hit the target with every shot.

After Zhang Ge finished speaking, no one responded to his words. Everyone turned their attention back to what they were doing at the moment, but unlike before, the interaction between them was obviously no longer so awkward.

Is the army's morale high? Could that be the right word? Perhaps not quite, but at least it was much better than the previous atmosphere, which was close to a morgue.

As long as the news of his reappearance spreads and he can stabilize the depressed mood and maintain a more intense resistance here than in other defense zones, the Chaos side will soon notice the abnormality here. With the presence of Chaos Space Marines, how can he still be worried about his own death?

Zhang Ge was satisfied and tried again. He found that he could finally stand without relying on Dominica, so he asked her not to support him anymore and said:

"Dominica, go find me a set of armor I can use."

After the latter nodded and left, he continued to say to the veteran:

"You will be responsible for staying here and reorganizing the 1st Mechanized Infantry Regiment, including the specific organizational divisions, the appointment of officers at all levels, and the replenishment of logistics personnel. I hope to see this regiment already have initial combat effectiveness when I return."

In fact, according to reason, these should be the responsibility of the Ministry of Military Affairs, but now it is obvious that there are no conditions for reporting and applying first.

The veteran nodded, not wanting to waste any time, and walked straight towards the other Astra Militarum troops to begin issuing missions.

Zhang Ge forced himself to walk in front of Yolanda and asked:

"Engineer Yolanda, can you contact the other priests?"

She saw Zhang Ge's body swaying as he approached her as if he was about to fall down at any time, and her expression became visibly nervous.

"Part of it is fine, what's wrong?"

"Please ask if the elevator connecting the upper and lower nests is still usable."

"This? It's in the database. During the power outage, all the elevators in the Lower Nest were attacked by terrorists at the same time, forcing them to temporarily stop operating for repairs. Although a considerable number of them have now resumed their carrying capacity, they can only transport lighter items."

Yes, Chaos Lord, I love you too.

Since the other party was able to make such a thorough plan, it was impossible for them not to take into account the sudden intervention of the War General Titan. After all, the military parade had been held, and even if the people in the hive were blind, they could at least hear the footsteps.

A decisive weapon like the Titan is enough to change the situation in any war zone. However, considering the multi-layered structure of the hive city, delaying its movement is undoubtedly a better choice than destroying the Titan itself.

Considering the decisive role of the deployment of the War Titan, the attack on the elevator could even have been carried out by directly teleporting the Terminator.

For this reason, Zhang Ge could only reluctantly put on a serious expression while saying to the captain of the guards beside him:

"We don't have time to wait for the elevator to be repaired, so we have no choice but to take some risks... Are your guards with you? I need to recruit you."

You can hide from the first day of junior high school, but you can't hide from the fifteenth day.

The captain sighed inwardly. Although he didn't want to go to the front line, he also knew that if the nest fell, no one would end up well. Moreover, his family was still in the nest and hadn't had time to evacuate. So he nodded and said:

"Here, there are a total of 140 people, fully equipped and well-equipped. Please give the orders."

"You will accompany me on a forward reconnaissance. We need to plan a route through the war zone to reach the Void Shield controlled area."

Hearing this, the captain hesitated:

"Well, with all due respect, even if we really open up the road, it would be almost meaningless to support 20,000 Astra Militarum troops there."

He deliberately emphasized the words "20,000 interstellar troops", obviously reminding Zhang Ge - what's more, the 20,000 people under your command are far from the level of regular interstellar troops.

"Who said I want to support there?"

As Zhang Ge spoke, he pulled out a dagger from the waist of a Star Army soldier beside him.

"Imagine this dagger is made of adamantium. Yes, it's indestructible now, but it's too short. Once it's inserted into the enemy's body, it's not fatal. It needs to be longer to penetrate deeper, but there's only so much adamantium. What should I do?"

Seeing the captain's expression of enlightenment, Zhang Ge continued:

"Yes, using relatively inferior materials to fill the back of the adamantium allows it to penetrate deeper as a spearhead. However, while this can penetrate further, is it still indestructible?"

Zhang Ge raised his fingers and tapped the back end of the dagger:

"Whether we break this dagger or force the adamantium spearhead to retract and stab us, our goal will have been achieved."

Chapter 71 War

When the captain of the guard left the church to gather his troops, Dominica also came out from inside the church carrying a small box.

After making way for several wounded people who were sent in through the side door, she quickly walked to Zhang Ge.

Dominica placed the box on the table beside her. Perhaps considering Zhang Ge's current physical condition, she asked:

"Do you want to wear it now?"

Zhang Ge didn't answer for a moment, but reached into the handle of the box and pulled it.

But the box in Dominica's hand seemed to have no weight at all, and at this moment it did not move at all. Seeing this, he could only shake his head and said:

"Not yet. You take the box and come with me."

Upon hearing this, the other party immediately replied:

"no problem!"

The plan worked. I could not wear armor and find a reason to bring Dominica, the burden, along. It was a win-win situation.

Having just recovered from a serious injury, I am alone in deep territory, with the enemy outnumbering me. Although things have not gone as planned, this situation is not bad either.

Carrying the box, the two men quickly arrived at the door. Although the main door of the church had been locked at this time to prevent the enemy's surprise attack, there were small doors on both sides of the main door that were large enough for one person to pass through.

When Dominica helped Zhang Ge open the door, he realized a detail that he had not noticed before.

sound.

Since the church itself is in a quasi-totally enclosed state, including the sound, it is also within the isolated range, so when you are inside, you can hardly hear any sound from the outside world.

But now that he had reached the open door, a flood of sounds flooded into his ears.

The sound of artillery shells exploding, the whistling of fighter planes flying by, and the sound of metal tracks rolling over, these sounds were wrapped in the air mixed with the smell of blood and gunpowder, filling every corner.

Looking up, I saw a huge gap burning in the sky, with countless lines hanging weakly from the edge of the hole.

Although the two fallen warships below the gap could not be seen directly due to the obstruction of the church and other buildings outside, an especially dazzling orange-red flame among the spires that were also burning in the war, which was burning continuously in the distance and tearing the originally quiet moonlight, still marked its existence.

At this moment, the original open space around it has become a temporary shelter filled with a large number of conscripted soldiers and civilians. In the most conspicuous position in the center, the huge ion shield generator is flashing with a dazzling blue light.

Seeing Zhang Ge and Dominica walking out of the church, the captain of the guard who was directing the convoy to form a team waved and greeted them, indicating that everything was ready.

When they arrived next to the convoy, the captain of the guard also jumped out of the car.

Unlike the previous situation where they were more ceremonial than practical, the armored vehicles used by the guards have now had most of their decorations removed and instead have been welded with fences or simply piled with sandbags all over the vehicle body.

He took out a round device and pressed a few buttons. A holographic map was projected. It was obvious that the area dyed red was the war zone, and the red had already infected a large area - remember, this was only a few hours after the war started.

What's worse is that the battle zone in front of the cathedral includes several main traffic routes leading to the Void Shield control area. It is possible to take a detour, but it will take too long.

After pondering for a moment, Zhang Ge planned a route on the map that was very risky but took the shortest time.

Even if we don't consider factors outside the city, it is necessary to race against time in the current short period of time.

Because it is not only the Hive City that has support, the Chaos side can also gradually carry out various sacrifices over time and summon those twisted subspace creatures.

The captain of the guard looked at the route and nodded in approval without expressing any further opinion. After handing the holographic map to Zhang Ge, the two separated.

Zhang Ge turned around and walked towards the vehicle depot, ready to drive out his light armored vehicle.

However, just as he was about to reach the door, a man who appeared out of nowhere suddenly blocked his way.

This man was wearing a full suit of shiny...plate armor?
