The tripwires were set up quickly. However, without exception, the grenades in some of the rooms on the first floor were not set up with tripwires.
Instead, wire harnesses were used one by one to slowly thread them through, hidden in every unseen crevice and corner.
Finally, the connected wire harnesses led all the way to a few rooms on the top floor.
His setup was a chain mine. Only in the rooms on the top floor would the trap be triggered.
This was also done to lure more enemies into the church.
By the time the enemies searched these rooms on the top floor, the number of enemies who had entered would likely be very large.
"Chapter Master. Try to lure more enemies over."
"Alright."
After the setup was complete, he looked at the few Tech-Sergeants quietly modifying equipment in a room. He directly picked up his Bolter and joined the front lines.
Modifying an Astartes's jump pack into an explosive nuclear bomb within the limited mechanical and technological environment of the battlefield was extremely difficult.
If it weren't for Tech-Sergeants with over a hundred years of experience, they might not even know where to begin.
There was even a possibility of triggering an explosion with the slightest carelessness during the modification process.
Quan Tiehua's actions were undoubtedly risky, and extremely so.
With just one mistake, he might not even have a chance for reincarnation, and the entire Chapter, along with him, would be instantly vaporized.
However, what was risky for others might not be the case for Quan Tiehua.
After so much fighting, he had realized that the goal of the Four Gods of the Warp was likely him.
Even the Emperor might have noticed him, so he didn't care. With the backing of his "connections," he could act with confidence and boldness.
He didn't believe that these jump packs could actually explode during the process of modifying them into nuclear bombs.
As time passed, the ghouls in the southern hemisphere's agricultural zone also slowly began to produce Greater Daemons.
A Plaguebearer, sticking out its tongue, watched as ghouls crossed the ocean in large groups. Its mouth, with yellowed teeth infested with various maggots, stretched to its ears as it chuckled, "Embrace Grandfather's embrace."
As the battle between these Warp daemons intensified.
Nurgle, Khorne, and Slaanesh in the Warp saw that they were at a stalemate here. They could only suppress their displeasure, summon their respective demon armies, and immediately cease their attacks to collectively assault the hive city.
They could deal with the target later once it was caught.
Tzeentch did not participate in this meeting. However, just because he didn't participate didn't mean he didn't know the content of the meeting.
Hearing the final outcome, Tzeentch chuckled, "Everything is proceeding according to plan."
Three days passed, and the eight nuclear-powered bomb jump packs were finally modified.
The demon armies of the three evil gods had also temporarily ceased their fighting and began advancing towards the hive city.
They even ignored the xenos discovered in some nooks and crannies, as well as any surviving humans.
All the demons rushed through the long, narrow path, launching a frenzied assault on the Crimson Angel Chapter's defenses.
The demons all wanted to be the first to bring back the target for their respective gods.
The demons of other factions, seeing this, naturally didn't want the first one to have it easy. During their charge, they secretly played dirty tricks.
Therefore, despite their fierce charge and powerful attacks, this behavior also prevented them from breaking through the defenses.
Even the three Greater Daemons were supervising each other. If one of them tried to charge ahead personally, the other two would follow closely and sabotage each other.
This made the three of them wary of each other, and none dared to charge forward personally.
As the modification of the jump packs was completed, the few Tech-Sergeants carefully carried the jump packs, modified to become nuclear bombs, to Quan Tiehua.
This included Quan Tiehua's damaged jump pack, as well as the jump packs of other Battle-Brothers who had already returned to the Golden Throne.
After all, if they were going to play, they would play big.
"The modification is complete. Once triggered, it can produce a nuclear explosion within 20 seconds."
Quan Tiehua nodded. Amidst the fearful and murderous gazes of the Tech-Sergeants, he snatched the jump pack and ran towards the top floor.
This rude action almost scared the souls out of the few Tech-Sergeants.
If there was a violent collision and a nuclear explosion occurred, it would directly send everyone on the battlefield back to the Golden Throne.
Of course, it wasn't that returning to the Golden Throne was a bad thing, but in this situation, they had more opportunities to serve the Emperor.
"Emperor above. Omnissiah bless us. This guy almost caused our entire Chapter to perish here," said one Tech-Sergeant after a long while, his voice filled with anger.
The other Tech-Sergeants also nodded, feeling lingering fear.
Quan Tiehua ignored their fear. After all, with the Emperor's personal care, if this thing exploded, wouldn't the machine spirit of the jump pack be slapping the Emperor in the face?
Carrying the modified jump pack, he pulled the thin cables from the final room and made the last arrangements.
Once triggered, there would only be 20 seconds to escape.
Looking at the System panel in his mind, he took a deep breath, secured the final wire harness, and fitted the entire jump pack into the mounting bracket on the top floor.
The distance from these jump packs to the first floor of the church was a drop of a full 300 meters.
And the drop to the surface of this planet was even more than a thousand meters.
Even though an Astartes' jump pack, once it explodes, has a blast radius of at most a thousand meters, like a small tactical nuclear bomb.
But no matter how small, it's still a nuclear bomb, and its power cannot be underestimated.
And what's more, now there are eight jump packs.
Eight tactical nuclear bombs.
Even if you're a Greater Demon, I'll blow you back to the Warp.
Cough cough.
Quan Tiehua held a makeshift megaphone made from fragments of Tech-Sergeant's power armour and wires, and struck a pose, cupping his fist around his mouth to clear his throat.
This action made the corners of the mouths of the surrounding Battle-Brothers twitch.
"Heh. Who is this?"
The flippant voice instantly echoed across the entire battlefield, causing all the demons and Chaos Astartes present, as well as the three Greater Daemons eyeing each other warily in the rear, to freeze for a moment.
"Is this all the difficulty? Tsk, it seems Angron's legion has also surrendered to a coward. His subordinates, the Greater Daemons, only dare to send their lackeys, while he hides in the back like a scaredy-cat."
Khorne and Papatyr in the Warp were completely bewildered.
"And who was it that got screwed? Their butt can't even hold shit, yet they dare to come looking for your grandpa. And that green piece of crap, did you guys give birth to these things because they were leaking shit while charging, and then shit was born from that shit? Why are you guys joining the fun too?"
As he spoke, he stood up, striking a pose and planting one foot on the defensive line, shouting loudly, "Come here? I'll fucking have the Emperor kill you all."
