Protagonist:

Lin En

Indeed, just as he reached the doorway of the Regent Hall, he ran into Lei Ou pacing back and forth.

This Regent King of Saint Galus was always steady and dignified in daily life, but at this moment his brow was full of anxiety.

Seeing Lin En approach, he immediately went up to meet him:

"Kaili, you're here!"

"I've completely lost contact with the Decapitation Squad, all signals on Underground Third Floor are blocked, and not a single scout sent in has come back!"

Halfway through speaking, he finally saw Lin En's complexion and couldn't help but be stunned.

The Kaili Feng he knew always had an air of being fully in control and unflappable, as if he could remain expressionless even if the sky fell.

But at this moment, the other's eyes held an unstoppable chill, along with a few traces of impatience he couldn't suppress.

"The situation inside is more complex than we expected." Lin En didn't explain further, just said in a low voice.

"Luna has colluded with Chaos and laid traps underground; the Decapitation Squad is trapped. If we drag this on, not one of them will survive."

"Chaos?!" Lei Ou's pupils shrank. "She really..."

"She is no longer your aunt." Lin En raised his eyes to look at him, his tone decisive.

"This is no longer a Saint Galus family internal matter."

"Lei Ou, this is heretic rebellion, this is a Chaos invasion. If we keep fighting at the scale of a family internal strife, we will lose, Brevice will lose."

Lei Ou's breath caught.

Family internal strife, deploying private armies, stopping at a point—even if people died, it was just a dispute between nobles.

But once the hat of "colluding with Chaos" was placed on them, the nature completely changed.

They were enemies of the Empire, heretics that must be completely eradicated.

Correspondingly, the scale of deployed military force would no longer be subject to any restrictions.

"You say what to do, I'll listen to you." Lei Ou hesitated not at all, raising his hand to put on the golden helmet.

"Saint Galus's private army is all at your command. Even if we overturn the entire castle, I must drag that woman out!"

"No need for your private army." Lin En shook his head, pressed the internal communication button on the wall, "Use the Vanguard Army."

Forty minutes later, on the square outside the main gate of Saint Galus Castle.

Tens of thousands of Vanguard Army elites stood in formation, their black power armor gleaming with a cold, hard luster under the artificial lights.

Leman Russ tanks were lined up in neat rows, their long main cannon barrels raised high.

Sentinel mecha stood on both flanks of the formation with heavy steps, their vehicle-mounted heavy machine guns in a state ready to fire.

The breath of steel and gunpowder permeated the air, the solemn atmosphere making it hard to breathe.

This was nothing like the scale for handling family internal affairs; rather, it was like preparing to launch an expedition.

Lin En stood on the roof of a Chimera Armored Vehicle, wearing a gray-blue Governor's Military Uniform, the golden eagle on his shoulder epaulets shining brightly.

He did not use an amplifier, but through the Vanguard Army's global communication channel, his voice clearly fell into every soldier's ears.

"Soldiers!"

His voice was not loud, but carried a power that penetrated the human heart.

"Right here in this castle, Luna Saint Galus, the Regent King of the Saint Galus family, has abandoned the glory of the Emperor and turned to the embrace of Chaos!"

"She has colluded with the sorcerers of the Lord of Change, spreading plague in the Bottom City, building desecrating altars underground, plotting to drag the entire Brevice Hive City into the abyss of the Warp!"

"The valiant Regent Lei Ou Saint Galus Adult discovered her conspiracy, but the army sent out was ambushed by heretics and trapped in the castle's underground."

"This is no longer a noble power struggle; this is a war, a war between us and the Enemy of Humanity!"

Lin En's voice suddenly rose, carrying the fanatical and ice-cold sense of justice unique to the Warhammer World.

"The Emperor has bestowed us weapons, bestowed us armor, not so that we hide behind high walls and enjoy peace!"

"It is to let us slay heretics, purify filth, and guard the billions of people behind us!"

"Today, we will raze this heretic nest!"

"Rescue our comrades, kill the rebellious Regent King, and let the running dogs of Chaos know: those who betray the Emperor, die!"

"For the Emperor! For Brevice!"

"For the Emperor!!"

Tens of thousands of soldiers roared in unison, waving their weapons in salute, emitting a uniform dull sound.

The sound waves surged straight to the clouds, shaking the square ground to tremble slightly.

Lei Ou, standing at the front of the formation, looked at Lin En on the roof, his heart surging.

He had originally worried that a large-scale mobilization of the Vanguard Army to besiege a noble castle would draw criticism, but Lin En's words directly defined the action as a just war to purge Chaos heretics.

Let alone besieging just one castle, even if the entire Upper City was overturned, no one could utter a single word of objection.

Just then, there was a slight commotion on the formation's flank.

A squad of soldiers wearing black cloaks of the Vanguard Army quickly walked over, each tall in stature, with steady steps, hoods covering most of their faces, revealing only cold, hard jawlines.

Their auras were restrained, yet exuded a murderous aura of long experience in slaughter, completely different from the temperament of ordinary Vanguard Army soldiers.

The leader walked up to the vehicle, slightly nodding to Lin En, his voice kept very low:

"Adult, the people have been brought, over three hundred in total, all changed into uniforms, no one noticed."

It was Butcher.

Lin En swept a glance over the team.

Ten Bishop-level Hybrids hid in the center of the team, their eyes beneath their hoods occasionally flashing a trace of purple light.

Hundreds of Acolyte Hybrids were arrayed on both sides, their third arms hidden beneath their cloaks, gripping specially made weapons.

There were also some Apostles and Pure-blood Chicken Thieves, likewise very well hidden beneath their cloaks.

The disguise was very well done; judging by appearance alone, they were little different from an elite Pioneer Army Assault Squad.

He nodded slightly, a trace of approval flashing in his eyes.

Butcher handled things, as always steady and reliable.

"Attack!"

Lin En had no extra waste talk; his arm fiercely waved forward.

Boom!

The First Shot Shell fired first, precisely smashing into the giant Copper Gate of the Castle Main Gate.

Amidst the violent explosion, the thick Copper Gate instantly twisted and deformed, bringing down the surrounding stone walls with it, kicking up dust that filled the sky.

The next second, the Steel Torrent roared into motion.

The Tank's Tank Tracks rolled over Gravel, emitting a piercing friction sound, while infantry spread out in Tactical Formation, advancing forward behind the Armor Units.

The Bomb Gun's Gunshots merged into one piece; the guards inside the Castle had just poked their heads out when they were turned into Sieves by the dense Firepower.

Under their cover, the Pioneer Army's advance speed was astonishingly fast; in less than Five Minutes, they completely broke through the Outer Defense Line and rushed into the Underground Layer.

The Pure Plague Apostles mixed into the Pioneer Army Team; upon entering the Underground Layer, they unfolded Spirit Energy Barriers to isolate the Warp's Corruption for the Pioneer Army.

Lin En stood on the Armor Vehicle's Roof, looking at the Saint Galus Castle with flames shooting into the sky, his gaze cold as ice.

Luna.

No matter what you intend to do, I will accompany you to the end!
