"Open fire! Give it everything you've got! Break out!"
Luna screamed hysterically, the Knight Mecha's Thermal Cannon firing first, a scorching beam blasting toward the Green Skin Army.
All remaining Troops also opened fire simultaneously, Laser Cannons, Warhammer 40000, High Voltage Current, smashing ceaselessly into the Green Skin Army.
The several hundred Green Skins charging at the very front were instantly vaporized.
Yet this not only failed to frighten the Green Skins back, it made them even more fanatical.
"Waaaaagh!!!"
Countless Green Skins trampled their comrades' corpses, charging forward madly.
Relying on the narrow, winding terrain, they soon pounced into the Human Line.
A Green Skin Kid was split in two by a Chain Sword; before dying he still shoved the Homemade Grenade in his hand into the Chimera Armored Vehicle's Tank Track.
The Goff Clan Brutes raised Giant Axes and forcibly tore a huge hole in a Centaur Armored Vehicle, dragged the Driver out, and ripped him to pieces.
Luna's Troop was instantly swallowed by the green ocean.
She piloted the Knight Mecha, desperately trying to carve a bloody path, but Green Skins surrounded her on all sides.
Even though the Mecha's Weapons mowed down a swath, the Ion Shield kept them at bay.
But those Green Skins still rushed at her utterly without fear.
That fearless, manic frenzy made her instinctively feel dread.
In despair, Luna suddenly looked up, gazing toward the Core District's direction.
There, Lin En stood on Lena Dahan's shoulder, watching her calmly.
Luna couldn't make out his face, but she knew his expression right now was surely smug.
Like watching a trapped beast making its final struggle.
From the very start, she had fallen into the trap Lin En meticulously laid.
Though she didn't know how Lin En instigated the Green Skin civil war.
But he deliberately slowed the Expedition Fleet's advance, let her fight her way into the Core District, all to make her consume the Green Skins' vital strength first.
Now she wanted to run but couldn't escape; these Green Skins who'd disappeared somewhere earlier now appeared again to ambush her.
This way, not only was Luna — this heart-and-belly confidant — eliminated, but the blame was pinned on the Green Skins, arousing no one's suspicion.
She might even end up saddled with the crime of "reckless pursuit of merit."
Luna piloted the battered Shadow Variation, desperately swinging the Death God Chainsword, splitting the pouncing Green Skin Kids in two one by one.
Scalding blood splattered the Mecha's armor; the once rune-etched, colorful Ion Shield had long since dimmed.
Yet the green tide was endless, their eyes burning with fanatical bloodlust.
Mouths roaring the slogan "Kill all Shrimp," like tireless, pain-immune killing machines.
At the forefront, Sasuke rode his Champion Squig "Chidori," rampaging through the Human Line.
This genetically enhanced Squig was several sizes larger than ordinary war beasts; saliva dripped from its sharp Fangs, one bite could pierce a Chimera Armored Vehicle's armor.
Every swing of Sasuke's Grass Cutting Sword brought a rain of blood.
Though he had just finished running the Eye of Gork, intense fatigue did not affect his speed in the slightest.
He could even dodge laser beams while leaning sideways on the galloping Squig, backhandedly decapitating an Inquisition Army soldier.
Those originally well-trained Private Army, before this group of Green Skins who had just watched the match and whose hormones had spiked to the peak, were as fragile as paper.
The Defensive Line they formed collapsed at a touch; soldiers threw away helmets and armor, crying for father and mother as they fled rearward.
Yet they were outflanked by Green Skins surging from alley mouths on both Sides, dragged one by one into dark Corners, emitting final desperate shrieks.
Luna's heart sank to the bottom.
She watched her Troop caught in a pincer, and knew in her heart that today she would likely meet defeat here again.
She gritted her teeth, abruptly pushing the Knight Mecha's output power to the limit, pale blue Chaos Energy injecting into the thrusters.
Powerful thrust erupted from the Mecha's back, forcibly crashing through a dozen Beastman Cavalry riding Giant Squigs blocking the front, temporarily widening the distance from the Green Skin Army.
Seizing this precious opening, she swiftly carved Tzeentch's teleportation Rune into the Cockpit's air with a Bone Knife.
Multicolored Chaos Energy flowed inside the Cockpit, crawling over the Rune like a living thing, beginning to laboriously connect with the chaotic Warp.
"Great Lord of Change, please protect me..."
Luna prayed softly, fine Cold Sweat beading on her Forehead.
On this territory of Kal II, thoroughly shrouded by a dense Waaagh field, Warp Energy was already extremely chaotic.
The Green Skins' collective will was like a thick, unbreakable wall, blocking most passages to the Warp.
Her teleportation Witchcraft activated with abnormal difficulty; the Rune flickered several times but failed to open a stable Warp Rift.
Instead, due to energy Backlash, her head throbbed with Green Skin Pain, vision repeatedly Blackout.
Just as she exerted all her strength and finally condensed a trace of faint Warp Energy, about to lock onto the Rule Ruler Coordinates.
Whistle!
A pale blue Nerve Spear traced an elegant arc through the air, striking the Mecha precisely.
Although the spear was caught mid-air by the Ion Shield, the purple eerie Psyker Fluctuation had already disrupted the Psyker Fluctuation around her.
"Pfft!"
The runes shattered instantly, colorful Chaos energy flying and splashing in all directions, and the intense backlash made Luna fiercely spurt a mouthful of fresh blood.
Her vision went black, and she nearly fell from the driver's seat; her ears buzzed, and even the surrounding gunfire and cannon fire became blurred and indistinct.
"Who?!" Luna looked up in shock and anger, her blood-red eyes staring fixedly in the direction of the core district.
Only to see, atop the broken walls and ruins, that transparent gigantic figure standing silently.
Lena Dahan's icy pupils locked tightly onto Luna.
The Bug Swarm Shadow's shielding effect on the Warp was already peerless; moreover, this was Lena after being amplified by the Insect Crown.
Under her obstruction, let alone opening a Warp teleportation door, even the simplest long-distance communication was impossible to complete.
Any attempt to communicate with the Warp would be ruthlessly crushed by the Bug Swarm's collective will.
And this precise Nerve Spear also made Sisi, standing not far away, have his pupils suddenly contract.
He originally did not take the Fire Shadow Clan's so-called "Yi Yi Yi Da Han God Envoy" to heart at all.
Green Skins are inherently a crazy, frenzied race; every clan has its own bizarre beliefs.
Some worship a certain incarnation of Mao Er Ge, enshrining a particularly powerful mecha as a god.
There is also the Snake Bite Clan, which classically worships primal power and despises all high technology.
In his view, the Fire Shadow Clan raising a monster that looks relatively powerful to enshrine as Mao Er Ge's idol was nothing out of the ordinary.
But that Nerve Spear just now made his spiritual perception, sharp to the extreme, capture an extremely unfamiliar energy fluctuation.
Green Skin psychic power is forever bound together with the Waaagh force field, carrying a primitive, wild, bellicose aura.
Even the strongest psychic Grot, the spells they cast cannot do without the Waaagh force field's empowerment.
But that attack just now was cold, precise, efficient, carrying a devouring will.
It did not have the slightest characteristic of Green Skin psychic power, and was even completely different from the Shrimp Clan's psychic power.
Sisi made no sound, merely silently withdrawing his peripheral gaze, but his heart had already stirred up stormy waves.
