As more troops were dropped from space, the mechanical army raised endless smoke and dust and marched on the wasteland.

Enforcer Tank The huge crawler tracks passed quickly across the ground.

A large number of new model Melt Weapon assembled Sentinel followed closely.

A group of small Moramad Assassin Robot also appeared on the frontal battlefield for the first time.

When it comes to cleaning up biological units in the ruins, these mechanical assassins are equally astonishingly efficient.

The end of the team was followed by a large group of Melee Variant's Elatana Armed Sentinel and six Destroyer Heavy Robot.

The gleaming cluster of giant fortifications not far away is eye-catching.

It is Dust Wall that stretches for thousands of miles and is composed of Ceramite fortifications.

Its purpose is to prevent anything from escaping from the infected Second Hive City and to limit the Xenos threat to a certain area.

Countless Hydra Flak Cannon and Hydra Cannon stand on the top of the fortifications.

The Genestealer disaster here experienced a blow when it broke out many years ago.

After Second Hive City (Secondary Hive) was infiltrated and corrupted by Xenos Cult, the entire Hive City was submerged by countless artillery fire, and the surface buildings were completely blown into ruins, leaving only a huge collapsed hole on the ground.

Countless heavy artillery plowed the ground over and over again.

Finally, Necromunda's military elite designed and built Dust Wall under the guidance of the Ministry of Munitions, Adeptus Mechanicus and Imperial Fists Space Marine.

The defense line formed by the Ceramite fortifications cuts off all channels for escaping from the Yachao, whether it is from land, air or underground tunnels excavated by Genestealer.

Almost nothing can pass through "Dust Wall" under the firepower of Necromunda Planetary Defense Force.

Of course, "almost" doesn't mean "completely".

These Xenos still survived tenaciously and began to reproduce again in the long years.

No one knows how these genes Marauder broke through the defenses and spread the genetic contamination of Tyranids outside the isolated Secondary Hive.

But Iax knows very well that the defense here has lost its meaning. There are so many people outside who are contaminated by the Tyranids gene. It is obvious that the role of this line of defense has come to an end.

The design of this line of defense may not have too many flaws, but the people themselves are the biggest flaw in any design.

Over a long period of time, not only Van Saar Family, but also many families on Necromunda sent elites they called Bounty Hunter into this ruins.

They are looking for lost information and technology inside, as well as valuable property that could not be removed when the disaster broke out in the past.

During the long exploration, Van Saars also successfully figured out why other families care so much about Secondary Hive.

Even if the risk of entering it is so great, they still flock to it.

Before Imperium regained Necromunda, this place was ruled by the Circle Spider Alliance.

After the Imperial Fists Legion "conquered people with virtue", Necromunda returned to Imperium, and Araneus Continuity was disbanded.

The disbanded Araneus Continuity members became the Imperium aristocracy and split into Escher who are good at biotechnology and casting, Delaque who are good at chemical technology and intelligence spying, and Helmawr Family who are good at political elites.

Data Crystal, which stores a large amount of old technology and data, was hidden by the three major families in Secondary Hive.

That is their historical and technological treasure.

As for Cawdor, which is composed of a large number of refugees and scavengers, Goliath Family, which is composed of workers and technicians, and Orlock Family, which is completely wandering in various mines and transportation lines outside Hive City, they are all forces that were born later.

But I don't know when all the families knew the secrets in Secondary Hive.

Due to the issue of interests, the three major families represented by the Helmawr Family had to reach an agreement with the other three families.

Allow others to explore Secondary Hive.

If they were lucky enough to get anything of value, the three major families headed by Hemal would take it back by transferring profits or simply find ways to plunder it.

Of course, Helmawr Family will not bear any of the risks involved.

The ferocious Xenos Monster wandered in the ruins of Secondary Hive. These mutated Genestealer and Cultists, under the command of the bishop of the Xenos sect, hid those precious Data Crystal in the deepest part of the Secondary Hive ruins.

They even tried to contact some of the exploration teams that came here.

Using these exploration teams, the news of Data Crystal was spread, and the genetic contamination was also brought out.

Then these Tyranids Cultists changed the locations of these Data Crystal and laid countless traps waiting for the arrival of greedy explorers.

They will become food for the Genestealers.

As for those lucky people who are lucky enough to find one or two Data Crystals and take them out, they are part of the conspiracy of Cultistss.

But even if the six major families knew that there was something strange in this, they could not resist their greed for old technology.

Until Van Saar fell on Necromunda.

This Age of Darkness group, which was lost in the ancient past, quickly gained the appreciation of the Upper Hive family with its own value.

The colonists, who were good at hiding their clumsiness, pretended to be crazy and stupid while establishing good relations with Hive City's major families.

Finally, they also got the opportunity to enter Secondary Hive to explore.

Unlike other forces that can only send Bounty Hunter and bounty hunters into Secondary Hive.

Van Saar Family's unique technology hunters and Archaeotech Specialist are a group of guys armed to the teeth with technology.

The radiation-exploding relic weapons gave them the ability to move forward in an indomitable way.

Soon they saw through Tyranids Cultists's conspiracy.

After losing a lot of manpower, the descendants of the colonists are becoming more and more cautious about the exploration of Secondary Hive.

But from today onwards everything will be a thing of the past.

Iax doesn't care how difficult and violent these Genestealer are.

Even in a head-on battle with Tyranid Swarm, the current Men of Iron will not be at a disadvantage in terms of numbers.

What's more, it's just a Tyranids cult.

Among the fortifications of Dustwall Line, the commander of Planetary Defense Force has just reported the situation to Lord Planetary Governor Girontius Hemal.

Men of Iron's mechanical army makes the soldiers feel fearful and uneasy.

The Ceramite fortifications they relied on in the past could not bring them the slightest sense of security in the face of these killing machines.

However, as Planetary Governor, Girontius was unable to issue any order to stop it.

They have long known that Men of Iron will clean all Xenos on Planet.

Imperium Countless worlds have been saved as a result.

Countless hidden dangers were uprooted by Men of Iron.

Even Imperium officials have never tried to block Men of Iron's reasonable military operations.

But family secrets cannot be lost.

As the news of the Helmawr Family came, the three major families formed three teams and hurriedly rushed to Dustwall Line.

They want to follow Men of Iron into Secondary Hive on a large scale and retrieve the lost heritage.
