Chapter 3282 The Desperate Governor
In fact, Soshyan has always been more concerned about Krieger, because this fortress world is not too far from the Nessen Galaxy and is located in the Storm Star Domain close to the Sun Star Domain, but as It is one of the key fortress worlds of the Ministry of Military Affairs, and it is difficult for other forces and departments to intervene.
After a brief chat with Marshal Karis Venner, Soshyan learned that they had also been hastily transferred from their home planet. Most of them were newly formed troops who were originally going to be sent to He went to the Misty Star Territory, but was suddenly transferred here after Orpheus's accident.
The most critical point is that when they came, the Ministry of Military Affairs did not specify who they would be responsible to. Normally it would be the Sector Governor, but now that Soshyan has appeared here, according to the imperial command authority As a general rule, Soshyan, as Chapter Master of the Astartes, and as Archon, can take over command.
This is what Soshyan appreciates most about the Krieg Army. Their senior officers will not pursue any glory or command. Instead, they will give priority to finding higher-level commanders and obey the other party's arrangements.
In this case, Soshiyan did his duty and immediately ordered the Krieg Death Army to set off with him to Amara Prime.
Ding dong~
As the alarm clock rang again, Orpsian Governor Gary Brunn Lang raised his eyes from the piles of parchments and data pads. Documents occupied the huge solid wood desk in front of him like mountains. Every document was a top priority and every decision needed to be made immediately. All of this was just one of the tasks he had to complete in the next hour. .
Although it was still early, any brief moment of laziness was considered a sin - even if he knew it would cost him later.
At this time, the governor no longer had the grace and grace of the past. From the oil paintings hanging on the wall, it can be seen that he used to be rich and energetic, but now he looks like a haggard old man, with disheveled hair and a face that sometimes changes. He was sometimes haggard and sometimes angry, and his long-term mood swings had made him a little nervous.
Finally, forcing himself to take a breath, he stood up and walked to the window of the room.
The Governor's Mansion is located on the high tower of the hive city of New Wasburg. This is also the largest and largest ecological building complex on the planet. Looking out from his office, one can easily see across the spiers of the hive city. In this On a clear day, one can have an unobstructed view of the hive city stretching for dozens of kilometers, although most of the time, all that comes into view is the oppressive industrial gray.
Amara is the heart of Orpheus. It has a huge population and several huge hive cities, and also accommodates tens of billions of lives.
Once in his palace, he was confident that he could control everything in the sector. All palace conspiracies, coups, and riots were not worth mentioning in his opinion, let alone threatening him.
But now, he doesn't feel a sense of security in his office. The sky is unusually clear today, with a deep and surprising blue that is as blazing as fire. Since the Governor's spire is above the clouds, it can enjoy the expensive sunshine. When the haggard Governor stared at the sky like a madman, he took the last breath. Wisps of clouds disappeared like burning paper, and the blue became more dazzling.
Although he did not look directly at the sun, the color began to make him feel uncomfortable. He could not help but squint his eyes and cover his eyes with his hands.
"Your Majesty, God-Emperor, save us."
When the light shone on his face, the Governor couldn't help but murmur to himself, and tears even began to fall from the corners of his eyes.
He was in too much pain, too tired, and too desperate.
For exactly one hundred days, or less than a hundred standard Terran days, the inheritance entrusted to him by his ancestors and the territory entrusted to him by the God-Emperor were ravaged and trampled into a sea of blood by the terrifying alien enemy.
As the border fortress of the Empire in the Stormwind Star Territory, Orpheus has endured nearly four thousand years of Chaos invasion, raging Greenskins, Eldar raids and civil war destruction, but it still stands firm and even still bursts out. With great vitality, successive governors of the ruling family have taken it quite seriously. Development, Orps is located in a remote area but it is actually a quite prosperous area in the Storm Star Territory. It has 3 sub-star areas (Capital District, Drusilla, Druvia) and 11 secondary administrative districts. , 7 extraterritorial areas, 26 large hive worlds, 121 small agricultural worlds It has hundreds of millions of soldiers in the world, mining world and new colonies, and has a considerable level of industrial power. The main fleet also has hundreds of warships. It once paid the tithe of 39 million people for the empire. It is also one of the ten key points of the Storm Star Territory. One of the human tithe source areas, will not Can any planetary governor believe that in less than a hundred standard days this sector will be defeated, many worlds will fall, and countless people of the Emperor will be slaughtered, considering that Orps itself is semi-fortressed, and many worlds will be destroyed. Strong fortresses and powerful orbital defenses were built.
In these years, the Orps sector, like many other sectors in the entire Tempest sector, has been affected by a sudden increase in subspace storms and other cosmic disasters. This situation has caused The number of ships missing in the subspace has increased sharply in the area, and many accidents have occurred even on the main routes that were originally stable. Along with these phenomena, there are various natural or unnatural disasters throughout the sector, and at the same time, cults Activity has also increased to its highest level since the end of the insurgency era.
On many worlds, latent psykers and psychically sensitive people report encountering the same nightmares over and over again, such as dead cities and rising darkness, and pale bodies passing through In the dust of the dead world, this nightmare epidemic information was ruthlessly suppressed, but the Alien Tribunal and the Inquisitors increased the number of Inquisitors in the sector, although it was only from six to ten.
The direct problem caused by the poor shipping routes is that the worlds in the Orps sector have become more isolated during this time, and the rulers of Amara have also lost control over the sector. Thanks to the vigilance of the Orpheus Fleet and the Death Angel Chapter, the rule of the Empire can be maintained. They risked their lives in the warp and successfully defeated many rebellions and piracy.
Galibrun Lang also succeeded to the throne against the background of this impending storm. He always remembered his father's dying teachings, remembering his responsibility to the empire and preserving the family's glory and foundation. Originally, he thought that these The chaos can be overcome as long as it lasts for a while, but I didn't expect that these are just signs before darkness falls.< br>
When he got the news that the star sector was being attacked, he was completely confused. Where did the enemy come from and what was it? He and his bureaucrats had no idea, and the planetary governors under him had no idea. They and the generals stationed in various places just kept asking for support, but these messages for help were quickly drowned in the darkness.
