It means a lot! Thanks!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst the roaring flames, the giant mutant staggered out, still alive!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air grew tense, but it was clear the mutant was at the end of its strength. After only a few steps, it collapsed with a loud thud, finally dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arye and Kaes both sighed in relief, collapsing against the fortifications.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gunfire and explosions continued to echo throughout the pipeline district, indicating that the other squads were still locked in battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Arye was about to rally his troops for a much-needed rest, the heavy sound of footsteps echoed from the transport pipe ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud!Thud!Thud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire transport pipe seemed to tremble. Whatever was coming was even more terrifying than the last mutant!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A bigger one is coming...\" Kaes swallowed nervously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arye struggled to his feet, staring toward the pipe entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the darkness emerged an enormous figure, standing about four meters tall, with muscles rippling and contracting, radiating raw power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It stood there silently, its massive, bloodshot eyes fixed on the soldiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The craving for violence and blood was palpable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soldiers could feel the overwhelming malice radiating from the giant mutant and were filled with despair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They no longer had the strength to mount an effective defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Arye, despite his injuries, raised his remaining arm and pointed his pistol forward. \"Form ranks!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's suicide!\" Kaes, standing beside Arye, grumbled angrily. \"We can't fight this thing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, it is!\" Arye grinned through gritted teeth. \"But we can't let this monster get to the residential district, can we?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dragging their wounded bodies, the soldiers re-formed their ranks, preparing to face their final fate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as they were ready to meet their end, a small assault craft appeared, hovering above the giant mutant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emblazoned with the golden lion of House Grant, the Court District's reinforcements had arrived!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carter, the Captain of the Guard, led two guardsmen as they leapt from the craft, landing on the ground with a cloud of dust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Guard had undergone a complete re-equipping process, now clad in pristine, heavy power armor made of a mix of ceramic and steel. Each carried large bolt rifles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing at over two meters tall, they resembled a younger, smaller version of the Space Marines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These new weapons had been scavenged from the church's treasure trove by Eden, vastly enhancing the strength of the Guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, they were still far from the true might of Space Marines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for dealing with regular monsters, they were more than sufficient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like the hulking beast before them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The giant mutant, enraged by the sight of the new arrivals, tensed its muscles and charged at Carter and his guardsmen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without wasting any unnecessary movements, the guardsmen advanced steadily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They raised their bolt rifles, pulling the triggers and leaving gaping wounds on the mutant's enormous body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the beast closed in for hand-to-hand combat, they set down their rifles and drew their large chainswords, continuing their march forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mutant charged at full speed, throwing a powerful punch at the guardsmen, hoping to smash them into paste.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carter raised his arm and blocked the blow, the impact cracking the ground beneath him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was unimaginable, but he had stopped the monster's attack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roar!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The giant mutant swung again, aiming to crush the guardsman half its size.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was all in vain. It roared in frustration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next moment, Carter's chainsword tore into the mutant's abdomen, sending a wave of pain through the beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before it could scream, it felt its legs go numb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other two guardsmen had sliced through its massive thighs with their own chainswords, nearly severing its legs entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a heavy thud, the giant mutant collapsed before Carter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It raised its head weakly, only to see Carter's cold expression and hear the terrifying noise of his chainsword slicing into its skull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carter's blade plunged vertically into the mutant's head, nearly splitting it in half.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The giant mutant fell silent, dead at last.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carter and his men pulled their chainswords from the corpse and raised their bolt rifles, unloading their magazines into the body until it was a bloody pulp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fight ended with Carter throwing a firebomb to finish it off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a word, they turned and headed back to the assault craft, leaving behind only burning remains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not a single word had been spoken throughout the entire battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the Guard—cold and efficient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Guard was a force of over a hundred men, the most powerful in the Court District, and the cornerstone of Eden's control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carter gave Arye a brief nod before boarding the assault craft with his men. The ship then took off, heading toward another battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had orders to eliminate all large mutants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This mutant horde had produced more than a dozen giant mutants, causing heavy casualties among the defense forces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon receiving the distress signal, Eden had immediately dispatched the Guard to assist the pipeline defense zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Guard was Eden's last line of defense, not to be deployed lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the safety of the governor, they had to solve the problem quickly and return to the Court District.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the assault craft disappear into the sky, Arye and the others finally relaxed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the governor had sent the Guard, there was no enemy they couldn't defeat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Those guys are strong!\" Arye remarked, looking at the burning remains of the giant mutant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaes scoffed. \"They've all undergone deadly cybernetic surgery. Us regular folks can't compare.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You think I'd have a chance? Maybe the governor would upgrade me too,\" Arye mused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's a top-secret program of the Court District. Ask too many questions, and you might get yourself killed. Rumor has it the previous governor was executed by an Inquisitor because of it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaes crouched next to the mutant remains, inspecting something with interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How do you know so much?\" Arye crouched down next to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because I use my brain, unlike you—a reckless beast!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hah, you're right. I don't like thinking.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Something's off,\" Kaes said, pulling a mechanical part from the mutant's flesh. \"I have reason to believe this thing was artificially created.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Created... by who? The Hoffman family scumbags? The gangs? Or maybe those heretics in the underhive? This reeks of a conspiracy!\" Arye scratched his head, trying to process it. His brain itched like something was about to grow out of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We're just grunts. Let's report this and let the bigwigs in the Court District deal with it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You could've said that earlier, so I wouldn't have wasted my brainpower!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gunfire in the pipeline defense zone gradually quieted down. With the Guard's help, the defense forces had finally defeated the mutant horde.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battle was over, and the logistics department's convoy began arriving at the front lines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dressed in black armor, the logistics personnel quickly disembarked and started their work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they didn't bother with the wounded soldiers, even watching some die without lifting a finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The logistics department had come to retrieve the bodies of both mutants and soldiers—valuable sources of protein.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the soldiers' lives? That was none of their concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were always more people willing to join the defense forces, desperate for food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arye and his men walked through the battlefield, searching for any survivors, providing whatever simple aid they could.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without proper medical supplies, it was the best they could do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Arye saw logistics personnel dragging away an unconscious, wounded soldier, throwing him onto the body cart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the hell are you doing!\" he roared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1263,"2026-06-06T13:29:01.687Z",1,"novelbin.me","f9b795ea262e5d8f69240ad8f5e663d9153987f0d7e38bbc962096873c0f769c","warhammer-starting-as-a-planetary-governor-chapter-28","warhammer-starting-as-a-planetary-governor-chapter-26",771,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwarhammer-starting-as-a-planetary-governor-cover.jpg"]
