Invincible after death, but in Warhammer 40K

Chapter 174: Chapter 174: Before Departure



Just as Zhang Ge was thinking about various things and stepped out of the door, he found that someone other than Dominica seemed to be following behind him.

He looked back following the sound of footsteps and found that the two people at the door whom he thought were guards were following behind him.

They were wearing full-coverage Power Armor with a military green and black color scheme, and were holding Plasma Guns and Boltguns respectively.

Generally speaking, the Astra Militarum rarely had anything to do with the word Power Armor, so when Zhang Ge initially swept past them and didn't look closely, he thought they were the Sisters of Battle's own elite armed believers, but now when he looked closely at the emblem.

Why was it the mark of the 1st Mechanized Infantry Regiment?

Oh right, what he and the Adeptus Mechanicus wanted did include several hundred sets of Power Armor... Considering the unit price of this thing, just these alone would be several million Throne Gelt. The other party agreed as easily as if they were a few laser guns, so he didn't have much of an impression for a while.

"Who are you?"

The two soldiers answered almost synchronously:

"Your guard."

Ah? A guard?

Why didn't he know he had a guard?

Just fainted for a day, what kind of activity did the Executive Officer organize again?

"Your numbers, personnel composition."

This time, the soldier on the right answered:

"A total of one hundred and fifty-five people, reorganized from the original companies' honour guards."

Honour guards, generally speaking, these elite infantrymen who came out of military academies had two destinations: one was naturally to be incorporated into the Storm Trooper Corps, and the other was to serve as the guards of the senior Astra Militarum officers.

And since they were said to be elite infantrymen, they were naturally usually very rare. A commander's guard was only about a dozen people... Where did these more than a hundred come from?

Temporarily suppressing these doubts in his heart, Zhang Ge turned back his body and, under Dominica's guidance, crossed the corridor and arrived outside.

When he left this hospital mixed with medical Sisters and ordinary medical staff, he looked up, and the light projected down was still dim. Judging from the relative position of the landmarks, this should still be in the previous gang-controlled area.

However, this place had completely changed now. Shacks, tents, and the like were densely arranged on both sides of the road and even extended to the road. A large number of civilians were walking through under the guidance and control of a small number of PDFs.

To be honest, it looked a bit more dilapidated than before.

Zhang Ge naturally knew that this was caused by the influx of civilians from Yarkalan. It was not an easy task to settle hundreds of millions of people in an area that originally only had a few million people. This should still be the situation when people were just beginning to be transported. It would only get more crowded later.

Following Dominica, who was walking in front, Zhang Ge came to the garage on the side of the hospital.

While seeing his familiar light armored vehicle, he also saw more than twenty Chimera parked full, and the same guard soldiers stationed here.

The one with the highest military rank among them should be the company commander. After noticing Zhang Ge's arrival, he came forward, saluted, and said:

"1st Mechanized Infantry Regiment's Guard Company."

Zhang Ge returned the salute. After a brief inquiry, he learned that most of this guard was "borrowed." The Executive Officer used those eliminated laser guns and the like to exchange people from the remnant companies, harvested a batch of Honour Guards, replaced them with equipment such as Power Armor, and stuffed them into an independent establishment to form a Guard Company.

It could be said that he fully exerted his subjective initiative.

Without saying anything more, Zhang Ge sat in the driver's seat of the light armored vehicle. After contacting the Executive Officer on the car in advance, he slowly drove onto the road, which barely left room for two lanes, as the core of the convoy.

The convoy traveled, and Zhang Ge simply chatted with Dominica on the road, asking about the handling of the tribals and even the recent situation of the Plasma Gun that was given to her. After about half a Terran Hour passed, the population gradually thinned out ahead, and they arrived at a particularly familiar place.

Wasn't this Alphie's fortress?

It was directly taken over as a garrison. Where was the garrison that Calgar originally promised?

With a faint doubt, the convoy entered after identifying the outer wall and drove into the fortress's outdoor parking lot.

Here, Zhang Ge saw through the car window that the Executive Officer was waiting in person.

As Zhang Ge got out of the car, the two quickly met, and after greeting each other, there was a detailed discussion about the recent situation.

From the Executive Officer's mouth, Zhang Ge truly learned about the various important matters that happened this day.

First of all, the equipment promised by the Adeptus Mechanicus and Calgar had been transported by transport ships, and the number was so large that the 1st Mechanized Infantry Regiment even had insufficient drivers for a time, and it was only solved after various military nobles "sponsored" a batch.

Now, the most elite 1st Company, in addition to being equipped with carapace armor and hellguns, was also equipped with two Baneblade Super-Heavy Tanks and a large number of Leman Russ, basically at the equipment level of Storm Troopers, and even more heavy equipment.

And secondly, in just one day, the situation in Sky Eagle Port had undergone changes that made everyone feel a little strange. Calgar stopped the transfer of a large number of troops, keeping them in Sky Eagle Port, even including many Space Marines who should have gone to support key war zones.

This would undoubtedly make the already difficult battle situation even worse, but Calgar must have been able to realize this. In such a situation, he still made the decision to retain the troops, there must be some more urgent matter to deal with... Was it the Necrons? Or did something else appear?

But the 1st Mechanized Infantry Regiment was not in the part of the army whose movement was stopped. On the contrary, their destination was changed to an extremely dangerous war zone:

The Deadwood Zone.

There, in order to destroy the Orks' Junk City, the Imperium not only invested a Titan Legion including a Reaver Titan, several Warhound Titans, but also a large number of Knight Armors, and even included troops from several Founding Space Marine Chapters, including the Imperial Fists, Dark Angels, and White Scars.

But such a huge troop deployment did not solve the problem. Instead, after Chaos intervened in the battle, the battlefield quickly deteriorated to the point where the Imperial Fists, who were responsible for the defense, had to consider retreating.

Nurgle's plague spreading from the north, Genestealers rioting inside the Underhive, Orks attacking the outer walls, Khorne demons summoned in the rear, Slaanesh Warbands caused by the decadent actions of the nobility, and the Iron Warriors who came to seek their destined enemy.

If this planet were to choose the most dangerous war zone now, then the Deadwood Zone would undoubtedly become one of the top-ranked places.

However, the Deadwood Zone was too important for the planet's defense. It was not only the economic lifeline of the entire planet, but also stored a large number of precious food and water. The 1st Mechanized Infantry Regiment was to go there with other colleagues in a few days to fight the enemies of the Imperium to the death.
