Chapter 359, Hard-hearted

Chapter 359, Hard-hearted

What Gu Hang was doing now was all to create more time windows for Team A to take action.

The core of their operation is to destroy the void shield and fel cannon.

Although, even if these two things are destroyed, Fino City's problem has not been solved, and new fel cannons and void shields will soon be 'born' in Fino City.

But it takes time.

Without the protection of the void shield and the counterattack of the fel cannon, the free-handed Imperial Navy is enough to bring destruction to the city of Fino before the new void shield and fel cannon come out.

This was Gu Hang's entire plan.

It stands to reason that if he personally leads the team to destroy the void shield and fel cannon, it should be the fastest.

But unfortunately, no.

If he walks away at this moment, I am afraid that Gevaga will immediately discover something unusual in Fino City.

After all, only he can use the magic sword to seal off the two worlds and isolate the transmission of information.

He is so busy now.

The demons and cultists living in this space know almost everything they need to know about what happened to the central lair in Fino City.

They are constantly trying to convey this information to the subspace.

This was originally very simple, just a thought. The master of this subspace integrated with Fino City, the Great Unclean Gawaja, was able to sense the thoughts of these lower-level demons and thus know the situation. .

And what Gu Hang did was to intercept all these thoughts with the magic sword.

This is a huge workload, but fortunately, the only outlet for information is 'Roshan' Thomson, who was beheaded by Gu Hang. Gu Hang rushed here, and all the information had to go through his hands.

Light blocking is not enough. Otherwise, if Gewajia didn't receive a single message for a long time and simply 'disconnected', he would have known something was wrong right away.

Therefore, Gu Hang would also compile some 'thoughts', disguise them as normal situations, and deceive Gewaga.

This part of the work is also very complicated and tiring.

These 'thoughts' weaved by him were extracted from the currently intercepted parts and transformed.

Some places are illogical, some places seem strange, and some places are even inconsistent with reality.

After all, there are so many numbers here, Gu Hang is not a god, and he cannot achieve perfection.

But the Great Unclean One is not a god either - well, maybe it can be, but it is obviously still far from omniscient and omnipotent.

It is impossible for that big demon to carefully distinguish and listen to all information all the time. In addition, whether it is demons or cultists who have been corrupted by subspace whispers, their minds are not very clear, they are confused and crazy, and some strange and illogical contents are also normal.

Gu Hang worked hard to maintain the balance here.

Gevaga will eventually find out, he is just delaying this time as far as possible.

This is not easy, not to mention, there is something that is constantly disturbing him.

That's Thom Leeson.

It was the 'meat mountain' that he had flattened with his thunder spear before.

That guy is, of course, still dead.

Thomlison is essentially a powerful sorcerer, and his master is the great demon Gevaga, who has a twisted but very strong soul. The mutation of his body was caused by the erosion of subspace, but it was just a symptom.

Under Gu Hang's thunder, his body was completely destroyed and his soul was torn into countless pieces.

This is definitely a loss of life in every sense of the word.

But just because Gu Hang took his place, holding a magic sword and blocking the place, Thomlison's shattered soul fragments could not be dissipated and surrounded Gu Hang.

Under normal circumstances, Gu Hang would have dismissed these fragments casually, but now, most of his energy was spent on intercepting and fabricating information, and he couldn't spare any time.

But fortunately, this impact is not critical.

It's just that from time to time, some illusions will appear in front of his eyes.

These visions are basically some of Tomlison's past life experiences that impressed him the most.

There is a scene where when Tomlison was young, he watched his father being beaten to death in the street.

That year, there were some problems with the imperial tax that Fino City had to pay. The personal tax was enough, but the material tax was a little less. So various factories stopped paying food wages, saying that the taxes were paid first, and the employees owed more. , will be added later.

The Thomlison family, his father, his mother, nine-year-old him, and his five-year-old sister, were all without wages—he and his sister were doing child labor.

Once you owe it, it's one month.

People in the Xiachao District of Fino City are struggling to live on the line of hunger. They stop talking and stop talking. A one-month suspension of salary will starve people to death. So, having no other choice, he went with his father to steal and was caught. His father stopped him and asked him to run away, but he was beaten to death.

Hiding in the corner, he engraved this scene deeply into his mind.

Soon after, his mother also died - leaving food to him and his sister, starving to death.

The second scene shows a naked corpse.

That was the sister he had raised since childhood. When she was seventeen, she ignored his dissuasion and followed a man from the middle-class area. A month later, the naked body was dumped on the street. After the policeman found out the identity of the body, he notified him to collect it.

The third scene shows him saying goodbye to his family.

That year, when Tomlison was twenty-seven, the Imperial Tax was imposed on him. His life has just improved. He and his wife have started a family. Their eldest son is three years old and his youngest daughter has just been born. He himself worked hard and got the opportunity for promotion. But the imperial tax was supreme, and he had no choice but to follow it.

He could only comfort himself that if he paid the imperial tax, his family would be exempt from part of the tax in the future and would also receive a subsidy.

The fourth scene shows him lying in a field hospital.

By that time, he was already an officer. After being levied the imperial tax, he boarded a starship and was sent to the Jinguan Sector to join a logistics slave team of the Astra Militarum. After 29 years of fighting, he first became a regular in the field, and made many meritorious deeds, and was promoted to an officer. . At the same time, he also spent half of his life from youth to old age on the battlefield against the green-skinned orcs.

Compared with the comrades around him who changed one after another, he could be considered lucky to have survived for twenty-nine years. But today, his luck came to an end, and he lost a leg and an arm on the battlefield.

But his life was strong enough and he was rescued in a field hospital.

His achievements and medals gave him the opportunity to choose - transfer back to the rear and spend the rest of his life on the new colony, or return to his hometown.

He chose the latter.

Aboard a supply transport, he was one of the few able to return home. He has many medals that he has worked hard for, the most outstanding of which is a medal of bravery, which has a high gold content.

After returning to his hometown, he was offered a government position in his hometown of Fino at his request. The first time he came back was to look for his family.

This is the fifth scene, still a naked corpse, just an old photo.

That was his little daughter. She was found dead on the street when she was seventeen years old. It was said that she was attacked by thugs. The appearance of her death was almost exactly the same as that of her aunt. The photo is case information retained by the police force at that time.

His eldest son was levied imperial taxes and left in the 22nd year after he left Koroga. Only three years later, a death notice was sent back. His wife died of depression two years ago due to illness caused by overwork for many years, and the death of her family members.

All this made him collapse.

He has never had any good impression of the so-called empire. When he was young, his family was ruined by imperial taxes; his own family was also ruined by imperial taxes. After joining the army, he once believed the propaganda of the political commissar and army chaplain, believing that the Emperor was supreme and protected mankind; he believed that he was fighting for the Empire and all mankind, and that he was sacrificing himself for a higher level and greater interests. life, and have no regrets about it.

But after returning to his hometown, he felt so disillusioned that he couldn't get out of it at all.

This is the sixth scene: he smashed his warrior medal into pieces. It was also from this moment that he could hear the affectionate call of his loving father.

The false emperor's lies and the empire's corrupt and dirty system all made him feel sick.

He completely surrendered to the Divine Father, and as a low-level official, he began to secretly preach and established the Eternal Life Sect.

He sincerely believes that Koroga needs to change and cannot continue like this. The people at the bottom will never have peace.

He also sincerely believed that it would be a wonderful thing to get rid of the belief in false emperors, dissolve the empire's ruling system, and allow all people to enter the warm and eternal embrace of a loving father.

He worked tirelessly on this project for fifty years.

Now, his career is finally coming to fruition.

But he ran into Gu Hang, the Terminator.

……

Thomlison's life does seem miserable.

But Gu Hang is very hard-hearted in this matter.

No matter how many illusions flashed in front of him, he did not change his mentality at all.

First of all, Thomlison's experience is actually not classic or representative on Koruga. It's not because he wasn't miserable enough, but because he was actually very lucky.

The death of both parents and the tragic death of a younger sister was tragic, but many people in Koroga had experienced this, and many were even worse. Moreover, most of them will not be able to get married, have children, get promoted and get a salary increase.

99.99% of the population that was turned over as imperial tax could not come back alive. Not only did he survive the war for 29 years, become an officer, and retire alive and return to his hometown... this is extremely lucky.

His wife lived to be in her fifties and passed away, which has long exceeded the average life expectancy of Koroga's 36 years; his daughter died tragically, which is nothing to say; his son was taxed, and Koroga was expropriated about 7 times every two years. -8 million people, it’s not surprising that they were conscripted.

Even if he wants to cry out misfortune, then no one in Koroga will be miserable.

But, then again, if a person with very good luck is like this, what should a person with normal luck be like?

It’s no wonder that the Eternal Life Sect can develop and grow. It’s no wonder that there are dozens of hives in Koroga, and collective riots occur in the lower areas of each hive from time to time, and the plague spreads rapidly.

If Gu Hang, who had traveled through time, had been in such an environment from the beginning, he would have been thinking about rebellion.

Individual tragedies are very moving, but for a ruler like Gu Hang, he can see that what is reflected behind this is a systemic problem.

He will solve the problems on Koroga, which may be a more difficult task than the current war, but he is confident that he has a complete set of solutions, but everything needs to wait until the demon invasion of Koroga It can only be implemented after the disaster is generally stabilized.

We must first ensure that the entire planet will not turn into a devil's cave, and ensure that hundreds of millions of people will not become the walking dead, before we can say anything else. As for the fragments of Thomlison's soul, the many illusions generated in front of Gu Hang's eyes were just insignificant ramblings left by a madman who was defeated by reality.

Gu Hang will not let this become a factor that hinders him from completing the mission of saving Koroja.

He didn't have the time to deal with these visions, nor did he need to. He just watched indifferently, not paying attention to it at all. He wholeheartedly blocked the transmission of information, and weaved false information to deceive Gewaga.

But...it seems that Gawaja has become suspicious.

……

"We lost seven soldiers and have completed the task of attracting the defenders."

La Crocha's voice reached Martins' ears through encrypted and reliable communication.

Later, Ms. Gerrit also sent a message from her side.

"My sisters and I are already in position."

"Okay." After Martins gave each reply, he took a deep breath and ordered: "Everyone charges!"

Behind him, three War Dog-class Titans separated by a certain distance from each other broke out of silence and began to run forward at full speed.

The fifteen-meter-tall 'war dog' had its head barely touching the top of the flesh-and-blood lair.

Nine knight mechas followed closely behind.

Around these behemoths, hundreds of phoenixes, holy lilies, and elite warriors from the Fang Battalion were scattered among them.

What stood in front of them was a wall of flesh and blood.

The bombs that had been installed on it had blown the walls apart. With flesh and blood flying everywhere, three Titans rushed over. A few remaining walls could not stop the Titan's impact, leaving three large craters.

And behind this wall, there are a lot of demons. Their backs were turned to the direction in which the Titan was charging, and their attention was almost completely attracted by the target in front of them who was fiercely exchanging fire with them.

A sudden attack from behind caught them off guard.

Many demons turned around, and the dead souls emerged one after another - demons are also afraid.

The brainless Plague Stitched Corpse and Rotten Flesh Beast were just stunned for a moment: Why is the wall behind broken? What are these three iron lumps that are bigger than me that rush in?

And those with more brains, such as the Plague Bearer and the Plague Wizard, are terrified.

They knew this was going to be fatal.

But what can they do?

Just suffer death.

The Titans opened fire.

The Hellfire missile launch nests on their shoulders fired half a round of missiles in an instant. 18 Hellfire missiles covered a large area ahead.

The large-yield Hellfire missile has extremely strong destructive power, and the damage effect is exaggerated. All targets in the central area of ​​the explosion will be destroyed by the shock wave of the explosion as well as high temperature and pressure. At the same time, with the big explosion, the hot molten powder was scattered and burned violently. Any material that was touched, even just a little bit, would be quickly burned into a huge crater.

If it is a human-sized thing, it will be burned directly; even if it is a few rotten flesh beasts and giant plague toads, it will be melted everywhere if it is contaminated too much.

With their strong vitality, they may not be burned to death immediately, but the hot melt dust that has no open flame but can release extremely high temperatures for a long time is like miniature melt bombs, which will kill them sooner or later. Burn it down.

In this area, 18 Hellfire missiles formed a purgatory-like scene.

But Santai War Dog still doesn't give up so easily.

In addition to the missile nest at the back, there are two main cannons on the War Dog's waist - or on both sides of its head. One is a melt cannon and the other is a kinetic energy cannon.

The three Titans kept moving forward while maintaining a shooting rhythm.

Whether it was a large-caliber kinetic energy heavy cannon or a melt cannon, the large monsters in the edge areas that had been bombarded by Hellfire missiles suffered one by one.

It's just that the way to die is different.

What was bombarded by energy bombardment was broken into pieces, and what was bombarded by melta bombardment melted into red flowing debris on the ground, until it finally cooled into gray-black.

A sudden attack from behind, taking the lead, the three Titans opened fire, suddenly destroying the resistance of these demons.

Then, as the Titan broke into the big hole, nine Knight mechas followed, and more elite infantry units rushed in.

Although the eight-meter-high Knight mecha does not have as much firepower as a Titan, it still cannot be underestimated; even Phoenix and Fangs can cause devastating damage to regular-sized monsters with the bolt guns in their hands. blow.

They chased the demon in front of them and chased it fiercely.

On the other side, a team of dozens of people led by La Crocha, who attracted the enemy's attention, also launched an attack.

The surviving demons who lost their battle formation and their will to fight began to collapse.

The human army drove these demons away and marched towards their final destination, the demon engine that supported the existence of the void shield.

Everything went so smoothly, to the point that Martins felt that it was inappropriate to arrange for Ms. Gerrit to lead an additional team as a backup.

The front is about to be penetrated, and the demon engine is already close at hand.

As long as it enters the shooting range, one round of fire coverage from the three Titans and the heavy artillery in hand is enough to paralyze it, and two more rounds will make it impossible to repair.

The void shield generator cannot create a void shield to protect itself, and there is no need for it under normal circumstances.

In fact, they have arrived now.

It was a closed space, surrounded by a wall of flesh and blood. But inside, there are still a steady stream of monsters coming out, as if they were squeezed out of the flesh.

The demons who were killed by them before also regrouped here.

Of course, these chaotic monsters are not particularly orderly creatures. The devil's army will always have a similar situation. They will be beaten and scattered, and they will either run away, or they will rush in and kill them without thinking.

To organize them, you need a strong enough individual.

Now, it seems that such an individual exists.

Martins saw a monster about two and a half meters tall, covered in pus, shouting something. The demons around him were very afraid of him and did not dare to disobey his orders. The monsters squeezed out from the flesh and blood wall behind were all obeying his orders without a doubt.

It's the boss.

Now that he had made his judgment, Martins took action.

Raising his left arm, the heavy bolter machine gun violently blasted the metal storm towards the monster.

At the same time, his orders were also conveyed to multiple knight mechas. The machine guns they were equipped with also covered it with Martins' firepower.

The three war dogs continued to move forward according to the plan, and one of them even sent a melt cannon towards that location.

This is an absolute barrage of firepower, nothing can... huh?

Among the dead and injured everywhere, a yellow-green figure rushed out quickly.

It was that monster.

At this moment, it held a rusty sword in its hand.

Martin immediately felt something was wrong.

He realized what this was - Chaos Army Front!

This is a powerful demon that evolved with the great grace of the evil god. It is said that if it grows up one more time, it will become a great demon - a great plague demon, and then it will be the Great Unclean One.

And monsters of this level have one of the most striking characteristics: the law of distortion.

Where the power of the Warp reigns supreme, this powerful daemon possesses a special ability. Under its will, physics, science, and even reason and thinking will be distorted.

It will ignore the power of technology and ignore the damage of physics. Whether it is bullets or artillery fire, it will not be completely useless, but the damage will be greatly reduced.

There are only two things that can really deal a fatal blow to it.

One is spiritual energy.

But the Governor is not here.

The second is will.

The manifestation of this lies in close combat. With swords, heavy fists, and the fiery will of the warrior, you can defeat it and kill it.

Otherwise, it will turn into a terrifying killing machine that no one can stop.

But the nearest Warhound Titan didn't understand this.

The secondary cannon mounted on the arm fired fiercely at the little monster who dared to charge towards him, and the metal storm instantly tore the air.

However, the pace of this chaotic army leader only paused slightly. Normally, the large-caliber machine cannon, which is enough to destroy a flesh-and-blood body of this size, was like scratching an itch, not to mention that most of the ammunition was deflected to one side by a strange force and missed at all. .

At the same time, this Nurgle army leader has arrived at the feet of the Titan.

The energy shield equipped by Titan flickered slightly, and he let the frontman in.

The controllers of the War Dog Titan already felt something was wrong. The huge war machine bent down and struck hard, but it was dodged by the plague frontman.

Then, the big sword in his hand struck hard on the ankle of the war dog Titan.

With Martins' eyesight, he could clearly and clearly see that the extremely tough steel at the War Dog Titan's ankles was quickly stained with rust in an instant, as if it had experienced countless years of ravages and became It was so fragile that it was cut off by a big sword.

The huge Titan's body tilted suddenly.
