The hive world has always been a living hell for humans. All kinds of weird things make the living environment of the hive world very worrying. The wastewater full of radiation and all kinds of contaminated food. This is The current situation of the hive city has changed. Tens of billions of people are all crowded into one hive city.
The various cultists and alien species in the hive city may take the lives of these humans anytime and anywhere. The living conditions of humans in this world are really worrying.
Now in Koledo, this situation has reached the extreme. Cultists are sacrificing civilians in the streets and alleys. The local planetary defense forces are not afraid of death and are crazy about the cultists. Fighting, the Genestealer cult is conducting rituals to summon the Savior of the Stars, and they have felt that the salvation in the stars is approaching their world.
"Tell me what is going on now. We have completely lost control of the two hives! My father! My brother! They all died on the battlefield! What on earth are you doing? !”
In a fortress of a hive city, the current planetary governor looked at the haggard planetary general in front of him angrily, and asked loudly to him, his young face already had the appearance of an old man. Tired, even his hair has turned white due to excessive work.
"Sir..., we have tried our best. The soldiers have reached their limit. Our troops have suffered too many losses. They are all very good young men."
The planetary general said tiredly, the planetary defense force has been They have reached the limit of what they can do. A large number of their soldiers have died on the battlefield, but there are too many cultists. Those heretics and aliens are not afraid of death at all, and their numbers are also extremely large. The Planetary Defense Force has been able to fight until now. Not bad.
But even so, the planetary governors of this world still lost two planetary governors. The firepower of these heretics is too powerful. This is due to their numbers. With their number, each person has an automatic gun and some hand rubs. Heavy weapons, their firepower vaguely feels like crushing the Planetary Defense Force, but the Planetary Defense Force is not a vegetarian. As powerful soldiers comparable to the Astra Militarum, they forcefully use iron and Blood blocked the attacks of hundreds of millions of cultists.
However, even though the Planetary Defense Forces were so brave, the cultists still took several hives from their hands. Hundreds of millions of people were captured by the cultists, but the Planetary Defense Forces had nothing to do. The governor and planetary generals have almost been overwhelmed by the pressure brought by the current situation. They can't contact the empire. Heretical rebellion and aliens are rampant on the planet. It is only a matter of time before they lose this world.
"We cannot fail..., the God Emperor will not forgive us..."
The planetary governor looked at the planetary general. He slumped on the chair helplessly. His eyes were full of despair and exhaustion. He was not a qualified planetary governor. He was just the second son of a nobleman who was waiting to die. But His father and brother were both dead, and now all the responsibilities of the world fell on him.
"The Mechanicum's nuclear weapons stockpile is in your hands..."
Suddenly, the Planetary Governor asked softly to the Planetary General, his voice was very calm, as if he was saying that at noon Like I want to eat something.
"Sir..., you mean..."
The Planetary General looked at the Planetary Governor, his pupils shrank suddenly, he knew what the Planetary Governor wanted to do by asking this question, the ancient Mechanicus The stockpile of nuclear weapons is their trump card, the trump card that will lead them to perish together with heretics and aliens.
"I am responsible for launching nuclear weapons towards the two occupied hives..."
The planetary governor said this sentence feebly, as if he had exhausted all his strength before finishing this sentence. After that, he seemed to have aged more than ten years. He looked at the planetary governor feebly, the exhaustion and despair in his eyes had turned into reality.
"Sir..., but if those two hives are destroyed, the civilians in them..."
The Planetary Governor looked at the young Planetary Governor in front of him in horror, as if he saw a stranger. , in his impression, the planetary governor is just a child, a child who has watched him grow up, a playboy who has nothing to do, and is not a person who dares to issue such an order.
"Twenty-eight billion civilians..., do it. Compared to dying in the explosion of nuclear weapons, the torture of the cultists is their real hell. Activate those nuclear weapons and use them to destroy the nest. All..."
The planetary governor shakily took out a cigarette case from his jacket pocket. He slowly opened it and took out a cigar that seemed to him to weigh a world. He slowly lit it. He was deeply moved. He took a deep breath and felt the irritation of the smoke on his lungs. He coughed a few times and felt the discomfort in his body. He thought of the death of his father and brother again.
After the war broke out, his father was assassinated by cultists first, and his brother accepted the position of planetary governor. However, his brother also died during a war where cultists attacked the hive. Now, the only ones in the entire family who can succeed the planetary governor are his sisters. But what can these noble ladies do? He has no way out.
"I understand..."
The Planetary General looked at the Planetary Governor, his hand slowly placed on the holster on his waist, he felt that the Planetary Governor had gone crazy, this The child is already overwhelmed by the pressure. He cannot kill those 2.8 billion people.
“Pa!”
A gunshot suddenly rang through the room. The Planetary General looked at the muzzle of the gun on his chest in surprise. He looked at the Planetary Governor with a horrified expression. He did not expect that the Planetary Governor actually saw his actions and knew his intentions.
"John Fane, my mother's brother, my uncle, your character is too cowardly..., my father once said that strong leaders must be far-sighted and not just estimate. There will be no hesitation when it comes to the matter in front of you."
The planetary governor held a laser pistol. He looked coldly at the planetary general who slowly fell to the ground, and said to him in a calm tone. , he knew that this planetary general did not want to betray. He wanted to get a gun just because he had objections to his order to use nuclear weapons. He wanted to directly control himself, and then take over the command of the world by himself, as the planetary governor on Koledo. If incompetent, the planetary general can execute his power on his behalf under certain circumstances.
"Planetary General John Finn intends to commit rebellion. Drag him down and lock him up. He will try him after the war is over."
The Planetary Governor took out a potion from the drawer and shouted loudly He said to the slightly confused guard at the door, while injecting the medicine into the Planet General's body to save his life.
"Harold..., child, you will regret killing so many people..." When the Planetary General was dragged away by the guards, he still said weakly to the Planetary Governor. He did not want this child to make a mistake.
“If the planet is occupied by heretics and aliens, then I will regret it even more. This will bring shame to our family, make the God Emperor spurn us, and cost the lives of 2.8 billion people. Although it is heavy, I, Harold Finn, must bear it.”
The Planetary Governor looked at the Planetary Governor being dragged away, and he said to himself that he must be responsible for his own world. Responsible for the mission given to his family by the Emperor.
"Crash..."
At this moment, the sound of rain reached the ears of the Planetary Governor through the window of the room. He looked at the pouring rain outside the window, and his mood was like dark clouds in the sky.
"It's raining... I hope the nuclear radiation in the rain can kill a few cultists..."
The Planetary Governor looked at the pouring rain outside the window and said to himself He said, after looking at the rain for a while, he walked to his desk and took out an approval document, which was a document allowing the use of nuclear weapons.
"No matter what happens, it will be judged by future generations. What is important now is that there will be future generations."
The planetary governor said and signed his name on the document. , if this world does not belong to the Human Empire and the Finn family, then it will definitely not belong to anyone. He, Harold Finn, will use practical actions to let the heretics and aliens know.
The order of the planetary governor was quickly conveyed to the great sage of the Mechanicus. The great sage looked at the order of the planetary governor. He patted his metal head helplessly, and then led his group of apprentices. Went into the underground warehouse where nuclear weapons are stored.
Nuclear weapons of unknown date were moved out of the warehouse. Soldiers from the artillery unit of the Planetary Defense Force looked at the ancient weapons and silently took off their hats and helmets. They paid tribute to these ancient weapons and prayed devoutly that their machine spirits could kill more cultists and add more hope to their world.
"The first batch of nuclear weapons, four hundred and fifty-eight, have been transported. They are well preserved and can be used normally."
The Great Sage of the Mechanicus looked at the commander of the artillery unit in front of him , he said to him, this is the first batch of nuclear weapons, but the Great Sage knows that this is definitely not the last batch.
“Yeah.”
The commander of the artillery force looked at the Great Sage, he nodded tiredly, and then asked the artillery soldiers to take these nuclear weapons to the battlefield. They all knew the order of the planetary governor, and the lives of 2.8 billion people were about to disappear in their hands. , but they will never repent, because this is the only way to protect the world.
The nuclear weapons were installed one by one, and with an order, they all flew into the air, heading towards the nest occupied by the cultists in the distance. The artillerymen looked at the missiles in the sky. Tail Flame, they knelt on the ground feebly and kept praying to the God Emperor. This is the desperate war in this world. There is no mercy, no redemption. For heretics and aliens, there is only endless killing.
The light of nuclear weapons rose above the horizon, like suns that suddenly appeared one after another. The artillerymen looked at the hive city shrouded in nuclear fireballs. They stood up from the ground and immediately prepared to launch the next wave of nuclear weapons. .
Hive cities cannot be destroyed with just a few nuclear bombs. These more than 400 nuclear bombs were all prepared for these two nest cities.
"Twenty-eight billion people, two and a half billion people..."
The planetary governor sat on the chair in his office. He looked at the reports coming from the front line and muttered to himself about the population numbers in those hives. Just now, because of his order, 2.8 billion were counted. He died under the light of the nuclear fireball and turned into ashes floating in the planet's atmosphere.
This situation was something that he, the former playboy, could not even imagine. He finally understood the weight of the position of planetary governor. This was not a position of enjoyment. Maybe it was glory and wealth before the war started. But after the war begins, the responsibility and responsibility of the planetary governor must be shouldered.
"Father, brother, you should all be looking at me. Am I really doing the right thing? Am I really worthy of the God-Emperor's trust?"
The Planetary Governor looked at He asked the God-Emperor sculpture on the table in front of him, did he really need someone to tell him whether he had done the right thing? Is he worthy of the trust of the God Emperor?
“You did nothing wrong, Harold, you are the planetary governor, you are the master of this world, you are a loyal servant of the God Emperor, and for the sake of the Empire and the Emperor, everything you did was right. , kill all the heretics and aliens in this world, it is your duty to kill them!”
Suddenly the planetary governor grabbed the statue of the God Emperor. He looked at the statue of the God Emperor and figured out what he should do. He just needed to protect the world and never let it fall into the hands of heretics and aliens. This is what he should do Everything he did was like this. Even if he failed in the end, the ancient nuclear weapons inventory of the Mechanicus would be enough to destroy all the hives in this hive world. By then, although they failed, this There will no longer be any nest on the planet that can support long-term survival of living things. This world can only belong to the empire!
After thinking about everything, the Planetary Governor completely liberated his thinking mode. He took out a data pad and began to mobilize all the resources he could use now. He would fight for the God Emperor and those Heretics and aliens will never stop fighting.
In the sky, warheads carrying nuclear weapons are flying over the planet. On the ground, soldiers of the Planetary Defense Force, wearing fully enclosed protective suits, are constantly advancing towards the positions of the cultists and aliens ahead. , the whole world went crazy.
The tactic of using nuclear weapons to clear the way for ground troops has become a standard tactic for the planetary defense forces. Don’t heretics and aliens have more troops? Then just use nuclear weapons to explode them. If one fails, then another one will be used until the advantage is given to the ground troops. This is already a life-and-death duel.
The heretics and aliens look desperately at the sun that envelopes them, but they are powerless. They can break through the empire's positions before the nuclear bomb falls on their heads, but what's the use? They can only determine the troops After receiving a devastating annihilation blow, the Empire will immediately use nuclear weapons to bomb that area. They have gone completely crazy.
