Warhammer 40,000: Mortal Gods

In less than a month after the war began, the enemies in the nest had been crushed, but the war still had not stopped.

The enemies who had fled in the war could not leave the hive. They could only hide in the huge sewers of the upper hive. After seeing or hearing that all their comrades who chose to stick to their positions were executed, they realized that it was impossible for them to do so. As a prisoner, he chose to fight guerrillas in the sewers.

However, there are more than just enemy troops hiding in the sewers after being routed.

There are some families in the sewers that were defeated in the power struggle of the upper nest. These upper nest families were unwilling to go to the lower nest, so they have settled and multiplied in these sewer networks to this day.

There are also a very small number of people on the nest who do not trust the Stinger and have not left. They have gathered in the sewers with their servants and family members to fight guerrillas until now. They don’t even know that the nest has been taken over by the local planet. The recovery of the First Defense Force Corps.

Fierce fighting often breaks out between the three parties.

Then from time to time, the Imperial Guard and other troops of the First Army would appear somewhere in the sewers to participate in the battle.

It is not an easy task to completely clean the sewers, because there is not only one sewer, but a new sewer network has been built when the original sewer network has fallen into disrepair for thousands of years. There are a large number of old sewers and even Connected to the giant metal pipe above the lower nest, the whole thing is a small city sandwiched between the upper and lower nests.

Everyone focused their eyes on the sewers of the upper nest, completely unaware of the enemies that had just arrived outside the nest world.

…

In the space outside Tyron Hive, a Lunar-class cruiser moved slowly around the planet.

This battleship was attacked by ground weapons during the previous orbital air attack on Tai Lung III. There were some slight damages on the outer shell, but these damages were not a problem at all. If the captain of the cruiser was willing, they could still air attack the Tai Lung nest.

Inside the bridge, the captain sat on the golden throne and stared at the planet outside. The huge hive was clearly visible on the surface of the planet. Apart from this hive, the rest of the planet was either desert or glaciers. .

"We can't contact the Field Marshal." A crew member responsible for communication walked up to the captain and reported.

"He'd better contact me within three minutes." The captain looked at the planet and said, "Otherwise I will throw all the troops on the ship off."

The crew nodded silently, turned around and left to continue trying to contact Stinger.

At this time, the people on the ship did not know that Stinger had been turned into chaos eggs by his servants, and was blown to pieces.

The cruiser was simply completing a mission it was not supposed to perform, which was to transport the army assigned to the Stinger by the Governor to Hive Tyron.

Time passes.

Stinger did not receive any reply until half a day later, and the crew member responsible for communications had to return to the captain to report the results to him.

When they walked up to the captain, the crew found that he was staring at the space outside the porthole, so they followed his gaze and had the same reaction as the captain.

At this time, the cruiser had flown to the dark side of the planet, and a black satellite was floating in the orbit of the planet.

"There is a satellite in the void." The captain murmured, "I am from the hive. How come I don't know that there is a second satellite in the orbit of Tai Lung 1?"

"Maybe... that's not a satellite?" the crew member said.

The captain observed silently.

That satellite looked extremely huge, but it still looked smaller compared to the other satellite in the orbit of the planet. Moreover, the surface of the satellite was not dust, but metal that shimmered under the light of the star.

At this moment, not only the captain and the crew in charge of communications were watching the satellite, but others on the bridge and on the hull were also watching the satellite.

They soon realized that this was not a naturally occurring planet, but an engineering marvel.

It even looks a little sacred, as if some god used his power to create this miracle so that mortals on the planet can look up at this engineering marvel and worship it.

It is a certain fact that the second small satellite in the orbit of the planet is an engineering creation, but no one can guess its specific purpose.

Maybe it's a space station, an orbital fortress, maybe something else...

"Fire at it." The captain suddenly ordered.

"Why did you destroy it?"

"It doesn't look threatening."

Everyone on the bridge questioned the order.

In their eyes, the artificial satellite is just a "monument", like a treasure found in archaeological activities. Its mere existence makes people feel excited. It can also belong to anyone.

"Attack it." The captain repeated his order. "We may not be able to destroy it, but out of duty we have to test it and see what this thing is."

This time, many people were still reluctant, but considering the captain's prestige on the cruiser and their identities, they still chose to carry out the order.

Soon the warship began to rotate so that the macro cannons on the sides could be aimed at the satellites. While rotating, the torpedo launch tube located at the bow first fired two torpedoes loaded with plasma warheads.

While the torpedo was flying at high speed, the people behind each macro cannon on the side began to manually load and calibrate the macro cannon. After the preparation was completed and the warship also aimed its broadside at the satellite, all the guns were fired.

The captain stood up and walked to the porthole, and together with other men on the bridge, stared at the satellite and the two torpedoes flying towards the satellite.

The torpedoes quickly arrived in front of the satellite, but the flight trajectory of one of them suddenly became chaotic. After rotating three times, it disappeared on the spot, as if it had evaporated.

"What the hell?" The captain couldn't believe what he saw.

Before they could figure out the situation, another torpedo flew to the surface of the satellite and detonated more than ten kilometers away from the surface of the satellite.

The impact of the plasma warhead's explosion exposed part of the energy shield covering the entire satellite.

That is obviously not the defensive effect of void shield.

Soon the attack launched by the macro cannon also flew near the satellite. Like a torpedo, two of the shells were disrupted in their flight path and then disappeared out of thin air. The remaining shells hit the shield, and the effect of the explosion was also It was the same as the previous torpedo that hit the shield.

The captain felt that in addition to the energy shield, there seemed to be a defense system taking effect on the satellite. However, the effectiveness and stability of this defense system were really very poor. There would be little difference without it.

After being attacked, the satellite responded.

It changes from forward rotation to reverse rotation so that its apparent weapon system can be aimed at the target faster.

The heavy cannon on the surface of the satellite was aimed at the cruiser, and then the satellite stopped rotating, and an increasingly larger red energy sphere appeared in the barrel of the heavy cannon.

This thing looks small, but considering the distance you can tell how huge it is.

"Turn, turn and evacuate!" the captain yelled and ordered.
