Marquez Wang Xingqu.

Cheslatan Agricultural World.

The planet has entered its evening hours.

The roar of the engine came from far away.

A Thunderhawk gunboat streaked across the dim sky.

Inside the gunship's engine room, there were several people in different outfits and shapes, including a tall bald Space Marine wearing an Assault Terminator power armor, two beautiful women in close-fitting robes, and a middle-aged man in the uniform of an Imperial administrative officer. The side hatch of the gunship was open, and the night wind blew into the engine room, blowing the two women's hair and the hems of their windbreaker-style robes fluttering in the wind.

"Sir, ladies."

The middle-aged man pointed to the ground and said:

"As you can see, ever since the sky changed color, the Cheslatan agricultural world has not harvested even a grain of food for a long, long time. Our crops are becoming more and more strange, and the soil is also becoming more and more strange. The wheat that was just planted was fully mature the next day, and before we had time to harvest it, it all withered on the third day."

The four people in the gunboat's engine room were none other than the acting regiment commander Qiao Shida, Chen Xinxue, Chen Xinlu, and the governor and director of the Cheslatan agricultural world, Calvin.

Calvin continued:

"Then strange things happened one after another. Soon, farmers discovered that some of the fruits grown on the trees were in the shape of baby skeletons, and they would make hoarse cries. The agricultural machinery used to spread pesticides and fertilizers often broke down, and they would occasionally make incomprehensible mumblings. The river would occasionally change direction and flow backwards from low to high. There were endless examples."

The administrator sighed.

Sister Chen Xinxue listened silently.

In fact, they should have noticed the clues long ago.

Logically speaking, the agricultural worlds in the human empire are all large-scale and mechanized cyberpunk biochemical farms, with output far exceeding that of traditional agriculture, and supplying just three planets is not a problem at all. Although the route has been cut off, the war group has a wormhole bridge device that is enough to ensure the timely supply of food.

But on the table of Gladys, the planetary governor of the hive world, there is still only protein paste and ant beef steaks, which means that there is a big problem with the supply of the agricultural world, and the scene in front of him is the problem - the vast farm that stretches as far as the eye can see is overgrown with all kinds of strange weeds.

These weeds have claws and twisted leaves.

Even herbicides and flamethrowers can't eradicate it.

"Now we are relying entirely on food reserves for support."

Listen to the lamentations and complaints of agricultural directors.

Everyone in the cabin could only remain silent.

The Thunderhawk gunship soon flew over the large farm.

Enter the city limits of the colonial outpost.

Chen Xinxue stood at the edge of the hatch, holding the handrail tightly, looking at the huge warehouses below. Low-temperature cold storage, hydroponic storage tanks, fertilizer workshops... and planned residential living areas. In the middle of the neat and uniform living area, a three-story villa building seemed particularly abrupt, out of tune with the surrounding environment, like a nail house stuck there, and extremely conspicuous from the sky.

"What is that place?"

Chen Xinxue pointed at the villa and asked curiously.

"Oh, that's Qingshan Khan's former residence."

Calvin spoke of this with great pride:

"Before Qingshan Khan became a Space Marine, he was an orphan in a colony. That was the house he lived in as a child. We have preserved it and the furniture inside has not changed at all."

"oh?"

Chen Xinxue and her sister became interested as soon as they heard it.

I thought I could ask to go over and take a look later.

See what the house Qingshan used to live in looked like.

However, the two did not know that the single cottage issued to Fu Qinghai by the colonial outpost had been razed long ago. This small villa was the house left to Fei Yi by her parents before they died. It carried some memories of Fu Qinghai, so it was preserved.

The Thunderhawk gunship continued to fly forward steadily.

Getting closer and closer to the villa.

From a conceptual perspective, the attraction of agricultural worlds to the Tzeentch demon army may not be as strong as the Great Library, a relic building in the Hive World. Usually, the Nurgle demon army will be interested in agricultural worlds. But from a practical perspective, agricultural worlds are related to whether the people of the entire star region can fill their stomachs, and this is of course the top priority for defending against demons.

Chen Xinlu kept staring at the small villa.

As she watched, she suddenly frowned:

"Captain Calvin."

"What's wrong ma'am?"

The agricultural director turned around quickly.

"Is there anyone living in that house?"

Chen Xinlu asked, pointing at the small villa.

"How is that possible?"

Calvin quickly denied it,

"We sealed that house a long time ago. No one except the Khan can enter."

"But the light was on inside it."

Chen Xinlu said calmly.

Everyone quickly turned to look at the villa below.

There was indeed a light in the window on the third floor of the villa.

"What's going on?"

The agricultural director was shocked and said immediately:

"I'll ask the Planetary Defense Force."

"No, it's not the light..."

Chen Xinxue narrowed her eyes and whispered.

The light from the window did not change in shape or color, but it gave people a completely different feeling. The light gradually became colder and stronger. The halo gave people the feeling of a bleeding wound and jagged bones inside. A twisted and pulsating aura formed around the roof. The light suddenly gathered and spread out, like a silent and strange firework surging in the night sky.

"boom--"

The ground suddenly undulated!

It was as if a wave spread from the villa to the surroundings, and the blood-red and pale glare burned the night. A violent explosion suddenly sounded, shaking the reality. Colorful flames violently spurted out from the door of the villa, and multiple flames entangled together, merging, twisting, and growing. The roaring flames screamed and laughed, flew up the spiral staircase to the roof, and in a few seconds, they enveloped the small building, turning it into a huge torch.

The whole villa was shaking and trembling like a living thing.

Screaming at the nightmare that broke into the real world.

The boundaries of the real universe have been violently shattered.

Chaos has invaded Cheslatan.

The Tzeentch demon army actually chose this place!

Everyone had different expressions on their faces.

Choose to invade reality at the old residence in Qingshan.

"What a provocation and blasphemy!!!"

Chen Xinxue and Chen Xinlu haven't spoken yet.

Qiao Shida was already roaring in anger.

The two sisters were surprised to find that the usually taciturn and serious acting commander suddenly became furious like a lion, turned around and yelled at the Space Marine in the front cabin who was responsible for driving the Thunderhawk gunship:

"Descend altitude and open fire!"

"Yes, sir!"

There came a reply from the Space Marine in the forward cabin.

The Thunderhawk gunboat suddenly turned its head and dived downward.

The two women staggered and almost fell.

The roar on the ground grew louder and closer, like a typhoon blowing across the surface. The Thunderhawk gunship had just descended a distance when a ball of fire exploded in the door of the villa, and two leaves of the door flew off the hinges. The destructive power of the shock wave was so great that it shook the gunship. A raging flame burst out, and the villa was completely reduced to ash.

"Roar! Roar! Roar—"

Countless warp rifts extended from the ruins, and the people in the gunship could only see some pulsating sickening lights in the night. Something was roaring angrily, and its roar even echoed throughout the night sky. The roar was accompanied by mechanical clicks and hisses, then crashes, explosions, and the sound of masonry collapsing, and finally human screams and non-human gibberish.

The Thunderhawk gunship's engine roared violently.

A pull-up and another leap into the sky.

From this height, the demons swarmed like insects. It was as if someone had woven a hateful, tattered carpet out of tears. The demons rampaged through the streets, pounced on the panicked mortals. In the barracks near the outer wall, the planetary defense forces had already begun to fight back.

"They won't be able to hold out for long."

Chen Xinlu frowned and said in a deep voice.

The planetary defense forces trained by Koshveto were courageous and disciplined. Facing these surreal enemies, they formed a tight formation and faced the distorted and changing central area. Crazy and evil colors emerged from the walls, and those pink and blue deformed flesh suddenly spread across the streets. The terrifying flames of Tzeentch instantly devoured these mortals.

After a large number of low-level demons poured out of the rift.

The roaring monster finally appeared.

It was a red behemoth, with six piston-driven metal mechanical spider legs. Its torso was like a pile of muscular muscles, and each leg was covered with blades and symbols of chaos, taller than the ceiling of the giant warehouse. One arm was a combination of a giant claw and a cannon, and the other hand was some kind of giant iron claw. Its elongated skull cracked in an endless roar of anger, and inside was full of fangs.

Demon Engine!

The Tzeentch demon army dispatched the demon engine!

The Soul Grinder, also known as the "Soul Crusher", is a bit like an enlarged version of another demon engine, the "Chaos Defiler". If Fu Qinghai was here at this time, he would definitely feel as expected when he saw this demon engine - Yinyun Klias really didn't have many soldiers under his command, and he had already started to borrow demon mercenaries from the soul furnace of the invisible waste abyss.

The building in front of the Soul Crusher collapsed in the explosion. The Soul Crusher squeezed out a path between the supporting pillars. The collapsed warehouse roof covered the ground behind the demon. Six giant mechanical legs pushed it forward, and every step was like a cannonball hammering the ground. The demon engine straightened up and its shoulders were even higher than the wall. The roar turned into a bone-shaking roar.

The Thunderhawk gunship began to circle around the demon engine, the battle cannon on its back was firing continuously, and the double heavy bombs on the flanks were also pouring out firepower crazily. However, the twisted metal shell of the Soul Crusher was protected by the supernatural energy of the immaterial, and the heavy bombs did not even make a dent on the steel plate, and the penetration site of the shells healed in an instant.

"Deploy the anti-subspace tactical team immediately!"

Qiao Shida gave instructions into the communication channel.

"Bang!"

Another cannon shell pierced the Soul Crusher's shoulder. The Demon Engine tilted back suddenly to get rid of the shock wave, raised the Reaper Cannon on its right arm, and fired a series of shells at the Thunderhawk gunship. The Space Marine driver swung the joystick with his arm, and the gunship performed a barrel roll to avoid the shells by a hair's breadth.

"roar--"

The Soul Crusher raised his head and roared angrily.

The battle cannon can hurt the Soul Crusher!

Discovering this, the Thunderhawk gunship dived again.

The Soul Crusher attacked again as the Thunderhawk gunship flew overhead, and the newly formed psychic matter hit the starboard wing. The terrifying light engulfed the composite armor of the Thunderhawk gunship. The wing of the gunship was cut off, and liquid flowed from the edge of the broken edge as the real world dissolved, and the hull shook and trembled.

"Let's jump down together!"

Chen Xinxue made a prompt decision and spoke loudly.

The two women jumped out of the cabin one after the other.

They flew together on the wind to approach the demon engine. Kamar-Taj did not have flying magic, and the two sisters were able to fly only because of their equipment - the "vortex cyclone" on the middle finger of the right hand in the Ten Commandments, and the flying ability granted by the Ibistim Staff.

After losing one wing, the Thunderhawk gunship began to spin out of control, swaying and twisting, but finally made an emergency landing at a certain angle, plowing a deep trench in the street and stopping just between the ruined exterior wall and the withered field.

The front hatch fell down and hit the ground with a loud bang.

Joe Star and Calvin walked out.

He looked deeply at the demon engine in the distance.

"Notify the Hermit Master and the Inquisitor."

Qiao Shida turned his head and whispered.

He had a feeling that this battle would not be that easy.

The Soul Crusher was still wreaking havoc. It passed through the warehouse cluster and smashed every wall on its way into powder. The warehouses storing meat and food were reduced to ruins. The agricultural director knelt on the ground and wailed when he saw this.

"Sizzle!" "Sizzle!" "Sizzle!"

Seven or eight rose-red energy beams lit up from the ruins and instantly connected to the demon engine. The Soul Crusher's body suddenly froze and trembled abnormally. The dark red muscular body that seemed to be solid suddenly began to flash with blurred mosaic fragments. The anti-subspace tactical team appeared from the warehouse ruins, holding proton guns in their hands.

"Ah…"

The Soul Crusher was about to open his mouth and scream.

A spiral of icy cold air descended from the sky.

It instantly poured into its mouth, and the snow-white magic cold air flowed down along the bulging throat. A crackling sound was heard, and dense ice crystals quickly spread along the demon's internal organs from the inside to the outside. The blood froze instantly, and the heart stopped beating... The entire demon engine was frozen into an ice sculpture.

The roar of the mechanical parts in the demon's engine chassis suddenly intensified, trying to break the ice shell covering the joints and surface. At this moment, a magic fan outlined by golden lines rotated and passed through the center of the demon's chest. The fan circled the demon back and forth, interweaving and cutting, and then the ice sculpture collapsed.

The hexapod chassis was still intact, but the large demon body bound to it had disintegrated and disappeared into the real universe, revealing a figure behind it:

Chen Xinlu wore a dangling ring in one hand and twisted a small golden ibis staff in the other. She landed in a Black Widow-like superhero posture, with the petaled hem of her robe about to fall.

Chen Xinxue was suspended in mid-air, her black hair fluttering in the wind, and the ten rings on her fingers sparkled brightly, except for a capsule-shaped ring that temporarily lost its luster.

The "Ice Storm" ring is on cooldown.

The anti-subspace tactical team was shocked.

I wonder if these two illegal psychics are so powerful?

In fact, the strength of Chen Xinxue and her sister is still slightly lower in the Warhammer 40K universe - because they have not mastered the use of psychic power to cast spells and can only rely on rule infection. The ability to deal with this demon engine neatly and tidily mainly relies on two sets of powerful magic equipment, the Ten Commandments and the Ibist Staff.

The crowd had no time to rejoice.

"roar--"

A new roar came from the crack.

Everyone turned around in horror, only to hear the mechanical clicking sounds and the muffled thuds of hammering the ground coming out again from the crack where the purple-red light was changing. One, two, three... a total of eight Soul Crusher's slowly stepped out of the subspace crack.

There are a total of nine demon engines!

Chen Xinxue and Chen Xinlu looked at each other.

They both saw shock in each other's eyes.

The Tzeentch demon army really spent a lot of money this time.

As soon as the eight demon engines entered the real universe, they could not wait to start killing and destroying, eager to pay off the soul debts they owed. The soul crushers scattered and rushed forward, slamming their claws against the walls, and the anti-subspace tactical team scrambled to the sides to avoid its attacks.

The wall instantly disintegrated into pieces. In front of the demon engine, the chalky steel wall was like air and could not pose any obstacle. The Soul Crusher pushed forward angrily, and every time the giant mechanical leg took a step, it shattered the ground.

Behind them, daemonic power seethed from flickering rifts, soaked with the blood of the mortals they had slaughtered. A host of lesser Tzeentchian daemons leaped in celebration behind the great daemon engines, then screamed in a raging blaze of magical flames that consumed the daemons' flesh, leaving only shapeless, weird puddles of vaporized water.

Chen Xinxue withdrew her arm.

On the index finger of the left hand, the "Flame Explosion" ring goes off.

Chen Xinxue turned around and looked at the chaotic scene around her.

She knew that the great war had begun.

…

"Follow closely, Xiaolu!"

Chen Xinxue shouted loudly.

Then she lowered her head and rolled into a ruin, avoiding the continuous strafing of the demon engine's long-range weapons. She attracted the firepower of a Soul Crusher, and Chen Xinlu took the opportunity to attack from behind, using the "Thunder of Bossat" and the "Hand of Denak". The Ibisti Staff provided her with magic amplification, and the Soul Crusher was torn apart between the golden-red thunder and the giant hand.

Another demon engine was destroyed.

The two mages were already out of breath.

Despite the vast mystical knowledge and powerful magic, the two women were still mortals after all, not physical monsters like Space Marines. In the chaotic battlefield, Chen Xinxue and Chen Xinlu were a little exhausted from keeping their nerves tense and casting spells continuously and quickly.

Chen Xinxue led her sister to chase after the Soul Crusher.

This time, Chen Xinxue did not waste precious mana on low-level demons such as the Pink Horror and the Blue Horror, but left it all to the Soul Crusher, because she also realized that only she and Xiaolu could deal with these demon engines, and other low-level demons could be handed over to the Anti-Subspace Tactical Team.

A pink demon tried to sneak attack them. Its claws threw a brilliant fireball, but Chen Xinxue dodged it easily, and she also took the time to remind her sister:

"Be careful, don't touch these flames!"

Whether it is the fireball thrown by the fear demon or the fire pillar spewed by the fire demon, they are all the legendary "fire of Tzeentch". This kind of flame has no temperature and will not burn matter, but it will cause the attached flesh and soul to mutate violently, turning young boys into old men or causing flesh and blood to grow wildly and deformed.

"clear!"

Chen Xinlu replied in a deep voice.

Chen Xinxue clenched her fist at a Soul Crusher in the distance. Gravity suddenly changed, and the Demon Engine was instantly crushed by its own mass, turning into a bloody mess of rotten machinery, but it was still trying to struggle to recover. Chen Xinxue then fired another dazzling white lightning. The electric arc enveloped the chassis of the machinery and spread along the metal, burning the flesh and blood until it was charred and smoking.

With the "White Light" of her left thumb and the "Lightning Storm" of her right middle finger, Chen Xinxue exiled another Soul Crusher. With her powerful strength, she once again became the focus of the entire battlefield.

Chen Xinxue hooked her right little finger, and the area where she was instantly lost all light and became pitch black like a black hole. She skillfully used the "Black Light" ring to disappear from sight again.

Chen Xinxue led Chen Xinlu and quietly went around to the other side of the battlefield. She rotated the golden square gem on her right ring finger, preparing to use the "cutting ray", which was the most powerful and had the longest cooldown time among the Ten Commandments, to kill the remaining demon engines in one fell swoop. Chen Xinxue lowered her voice and said,

"You will cover my back later."

Another powerful ring among the Ten Rings, "Material Reorganization" on the right thumb, requires palm contact to take effect. The demon engine is too terrifying, Chen Xinxue does not want to get within five meters of the Soul Crusher, just hides from a distance and throws skills.

The Soul Grinders were wreaking havoc in the distance, and the Space Marines hid in the ruins and tried to maneuver. Several demon engines suddenly bent over and opened their mouths, spewing out a rolling stream of mutant mucus, which quickly turned into a torrent of burning psychic flames that instantly swept through all the surrounding ruins. This was the Soul Grinders' strongest weapon - the Soul Incinerator.

This "phlegm bombing" was extremely powerful. All matter in the real universe melted in this impact. Even the special breastplate of the anti-subspace tactical team could not block it. The subspace compartment absorbed non-material energy and then exploded. Several Space Marines, covered in psychic flames, ran out of the ruins in pain... and were soon burned to death, leaving only a few charred corpses.

The two sisters opened a dimensional door.

In the blink of an eye, he appeared near the demon engine.

The two mages faced the demon army back to back.

Without saying a word, Chen Xinxue raised her hand and swept it across. A thin golden ray shot out from the center of the ring, and the cutting ray easily cut through the demon's body and the mechanical chassis. The demon's essence was torn apart, and the essence of psychic matter flew into the air drop by drop, but the demon's actions were not affected.

Chen Xinxue tried her best to move her arms horizontally, wanting to kill all the Soul Crusher in one go, but suddenly she felt a huge resistance. A Soul Crusher actually raised an extremely huge, constantly changing sword of twisted energy, which blocked the cutting ray and prevented the golden line from continuing to sweep and cut.

"Oh no!"

Chen Xinxue stretched out her fingers and shouted,

"Seraphim Shield!"

The shield composed of complicated golden and red mystical runes blocked the attack of the demon engine. The shield shattered and dissipated. Chen Xinxue took advantage of this gap to rotate her fingers and open the dimensional door to escape. Suddenly, she realized something was wrong in her heart——

Why didn't my sister do anything?

"Xiao Lu... Ugh!"

Chen Xinxue's face was dull and her eyes were wide open.

The body suddenly froze and did not move.

A staff pierced out of her chest.

Chen Xinxue lowered her head and stared blankly at her chest, blood spreading and staining her robe red. Her sister, who was leaning back to back with her, had turned around, with a hideous smile on her beautiful face. Chen Xinlu gently pushed her glasses on the bridge of her nose, and her whole body suddenly changed, turning into a high-level humanoid demon wearing a blue sleeveless hooded robe. The demon's face was hidden under the hood like a cloud of fog and could not be seen clearly.

Changeling!

"Chen Xinlu" turned out to be a changeling.

This blue humanoid demon was thin, holding a magic staff in one arm, the end of which pierced Chen Xinxue's back and pierced through her body. Three arms grew out of the other shoulder, waving blue magic flames in their palms.

Suddenly, the changeling tilted his head.

The woman it wore on the staff shattered and disappeared.

The changeling suddenly raised his head and looked upward.

Chen Xinxue floated in the air again, looking down at the spirit with a calm face. She gently raised a finger to reveal the ring on the back of her hand, and a blue prismatic gem on the ring finger of her left hand flickered slightly - "Mind Amplification", a ring that creates illusions by influencing other people's minds.

Changeling, deceived.

Suddenly, blue flames burst out all over the demon.

This would make it more angry than killing it.

However, the two sisters were well prepared.

"The Crimson Chain of Cyttorak!"

A circle of sparks spun and lit up behind the demon. Just as a small circle was opened, a crimson energy rope instantly shot out from it, tightly entangling the Tzeentch demon, making it struggle desperately but unable to move. In the night sky, Chen Xinxue descended from the sky holding the Sword of Vishandi high.

"Swish!"

The changeling had no time to cast his magic.

It was split into two halves by Chen Xinxue's sword.

"roar--"

The Soul Crusher began to fire wildly into the sky.

However, the battle has dragged on until now.

Reinforcements from the Iron Pagoda Regiment also arrived.

A warm white light lit up in the distance, and the Paladin Tristan strode over with his warhammer raised high. The chief priest raised his hand and waved, and a platinum beam of light rose from the charred corpses in the ruins. The charred shells of the corpses cracked and faded, gradually melting into the warm white light, and several brand-new Space Marines stood up again.

A yellow flaming meteor streaked across the dark sky in the distance. When it got closer to him, he discovered that it was a Space Marine wrapped in flames. He held a flaming chainsaw sword like a Hot Wheels in his hand and rode a jet motorcycle that was also wrapped in flames.

The Tzeentch demon army is doomed to be defeated.

......
