Chapter 322: Dig out the Necron!
A few days later.
Airspace.
Buzz——
Space fluctuations.
The Dream jumped out of the subspace passage and drove forward slowly.
Inside the bridge.
Ron looked at the pale yellow planet surrounded by two greenish satellites, and knew that he had arrived at Baal, the home of the Blood Angels.
The Baal Galaxy is extremely small.
It consists only of the Baal main star and two satellites, and is located in the Baal star system in the extreme star field.
The main star Baal is an extremely dry desert world with frequent sandstorms.
It is full of mutants, mutants and savage creatures.
In contrast.
Prem and Secandus are more suitable for human habitation, but they are not very good.
Because in the empire’s official rating, all planets in the Baal system are classified as barbaric worlds.
However.
The Blood Angels still chose the desert world of Baal as their main star.
Ron was flipping through the information on Blood Angels.
He expressed a certain understanding of the Blood Angel's choice.
Just like the planet Danus, more difficult environments can often create powerful warriors.
The human tribes in Baal live a nomadic life and have been facing various deadly threats, but this has also tempered their bodies and will.
Making them more adaptable to the cruel environment.
From the time of Sanguinius to the present day, the Blood Angels have recruited candidates from the tribe known as the Bloodborne.
Every generation, the young people of all the "blood" tribes in the Baal system will participate in the great competition organized by the Blood Angels.
All contestants need to hike through a desert full of mutated creatures and radiation to reach a cliff called the Land of Heaven.
Then use Angel Wings, a kind of hang glider made of leather and vines, to leap from the towering cliff.
If they don't die, they still have to fight against giant fire scorpions and vampire monsters in the canyon.
Fight your way out.
After the contestants came out of the canyon, they stepped on the bones of countless companions.
You can participate in the final challenge.
They will enter a gladiatorial arena for the final showdown.
Only the contestants with the most powerful martial arts will survive.
In the end, about 50 people will stand out and board the legendary "Sky Crane".
Actually it is the Thunderhawk gunship.
The remaining unqualified survivors will either stay to guard and challenge themselves, or go back to the tribe on their own.
The entire journey is at your own expense.
The 50 winners will be taken to the Blood Angel Monastery in the center of the desert on Baal Prime.
Officially a candidate.
Most of these candidates bear the marks of a difficult existence in the past. Long-term malnutrition and hunger have resulted in stooped bodies, short stature, and stunted development.
And.
The radiation during the Great Race caused many people to have large and small red spots all over their bodies and suffered from radiation sickness and early symptoms of cancer.
"I take back my previous understanding..."
When he saw this, Ron felt a little numb. Compared to Planet Danus, Baal was still a bit too extreme.
Such a comparison makes me appear to be too kind.
Sure enough.
This selection process is still not very scientific.
The reason why those new blood candidates can make up for the previous shortcomings is due to the strong adaptability of the Blood Angel gene seeds.
Display based on data.
All candidates are required to keep a vigil in the monastery's cathedral before the formal ceremony of transformation begins.
No rest.
Once you fall asleep, no matter how good you are, it will be taken away.
As for what happened to those who were taken away, there are no files recording this.
The candidates who survive the transformation ceremony will receive the scarlet chalice from the Holy Blood Priest, which contains some kind of blood-like liquid.
After they drink it, they will fall into a deep sleep and their heart will almost stop.
The blood slaves will push these dormant candidates into the operating room and implant the gene seeds.
If they can survive the rejection reaction, they will be sealed in a tall golden coffin and receive a mixture of nutrients and the blood of Sanguinius through their veins.
Further transformation.
During this process, many people with weak constitutions who cannot adapt to the pressure of remodeling will die.
However, those who survive will become the true Blood Angels.
Such changes are earth-shaking.
Those short, stooped candidates who become Blood Angels will gain tall bodies, sharp eyes like predators, smooth skin, handsome faces, and hidden sharp teeth.
They move gracefully and are as beautiful as sculptures crafted by a master.
"He is worthy of being the heir of Sanguinius. He is good in appearance and has the opportunity to completely change his life constitution. No wonder those candidates are so desperate..."
Luo En sighed slightly.
Unfortunately, all gifts given by fate have their prices secretly marked.
After candidates become Blood Angels, they will acquire a condition called "blood thirst."
They desire to drink human blood.
Moreover, this need for blood does not come from physiology, but from spiritual energy or soul level desire.
This is a tragedy of fate.
When the Blood Angels do not drink blood for a long time, they will become weak or even old, and their spirits will be extremely exhausted.
To maintain status.
The Blood Angels carry and drink bottles of human blood mixed with wine.
They call it "Kalash".
The blood is usually voluntarily donated by blood servants.
But in some extreme cases, the Blood Angels will lose control. Even if they have a large amount of bottled human blood on hand, they will attack and kill their allies to obtain the blood.
Later, the Blood Angels met an even sadder fate.
After Sanguinius was brutally murdered by Horus, the Blood Angels suffered from a mental illness called the Black Rage.
When the battle is at its fiercest, black rage often breaks out.
Making them extremely aggressive, it is difficult to distinguish between friends and foes, and they may even attack their own battle brothers.
This has brought great trauma to the Blood Angels, and it has also caused great harm to the Human Empire.
Ron came here to see Dante, the leader of the Blood Angels, just to see if he could solve the blood thirst and black rage suffered by the Blood Angels.
This is good for everyone.
The feeling of being suddenly stabbed in the waist by a teammate during a battle is not pleasant.
Not only that.
If the Tyranid swarm can be successfully eliminated.
He will also send the territory's environmental engineering team to see if they can collaborate with Baal on some projects and use the technology of the golden age to transform the environment of the Baal galaxy.
Improving the living environment of those tribes will at least allow the candidates to have better bodies to face the great competition.
Reduce unnecessary casualties.
Not to mention.
Those candidates participating in the transformation with better bodies may be able to make the transformed Blood Angels more powerful.
certainly.
These changes need to be fully evaluated by the relevant scientific research teams and must be approved by the Blood Angels.
After the Dream stopped in far-Earth orbit, it sent the relevant message to the Blood Angels.
Just when Ron was about to step onto the landing ship and head to the Blood Angel Monastery to meet Dante.
The message returned from the monastery completely disrupted his plan.
Dante is not in Baal.
He has led the Blood Angels to the Hades system to resist the threat of the Tyranid aliens.
? ? ?
Ron was a little confused when he got the news.
That means that the Tyranids have entered the Hades galaxy and are about to launch an attack!
How could it be so fast?
This is more than half a year earlier than expected by the Ministry of Military Affairs.
Later.
More data and news are coming.
He then understood the cause of the matter, which was caused by the confusion of time zones in various regions.
Different temporal flow rates cause this change.
Although Ron notified Holy Terra in advance, it only bought a little more time for the high lords to hold meetings.
Today.
The Tyranid swarm has begun to attack the outer defenses of the Hades galaxy.
Fortunately, under Ron's influence, the empire's supporting troops have arrived, and the Blood Angels are also on their way.
The situation isn't too bad.
At present, the empire has mobilized all the troops that can be reached.
Including:
A naval fleet with hundreds of large battleships and battle groups led by Admiral Jatus.
General Mellon led 30 million Astra Militarum troops drawn from various places, including the Cadian Lightning Army and the Vostonian Firstborn Armored Regiment.
They will set up defenses in the Hades system.
These are among the most elite regiments in the Empire.
Due to the urgency of wars everywhere, the Tyranid swarm arrived suddenly. It was already all the troops the empire could mobilize and arrive.
However, these troops are still not enough.
The main forces in this war will most likely be the Savior Armed Forces and the Blood Angels.
The Sons of Man led by Big Barrel happen to be in the Hades galaxy.
They have taken over the sent battleships, obtained weapons and equipment, and have sent out reconnaissance ships to conduct a preliminary investigation of the scale of the Tyranid swarm.
The territory has also found the exit of the webway in the Hades galaxy, and is organizing an army to go to the Hades galaxy through the webway.
With the navigation advantages of the Webway, there should be no chance of missing a fighter jet.
Everything is going on in an orderly manner.
However.
After seeing the latest information from the barrel, Ron fell into deep worry.
Inside the bridge.
Ron and the officials of the Ministry of Military Affairs looked at the overwhelming image of the Leviathan Hive Fleet projected in mid-air.
I was deeply shocked by it.
There was even a hint of fear. The Tyranid swarm... was so huge that it was huge enough to overwhelm the galaxy!
According to calculations by the Ministry of Military Affairs.
If the impact is to be faced head-on, even if the Empire's reinforcements, Blood Angels, and the Savior's armed forces that can be mobilized are filled in.
Also difficult to resist.
This is the Tyranid Swarm.
They don’t hide anything, they just follow the predetermined route and devour everything along the way.
Even if you have no idea, you can know in advance that the insect swarm is coming, and you will be suppressed by the sheer number.
There is no way to resist.
Ron frowned as he looked at the projection of the Tyranid swarm.
Such a huge scale cannot be resisted by the fleet. I am afraid that more powerful planet-level or even galaxy-level celestial weapons will be needed.
In order to be able to cope with it.
The trouble is.
The technology of the territory is not enough.
The only planet-level weapons currently under construction are the green-skinned combat satellites, and they are not yet completely completed.
I'm afraid it won't be able to keep up with the war in the Hades galaxy.
"It seems that our war plan needs to be changed..."
Ron raised his hand and called up the star map of the Hades galaxy. He needed to learn more about the deployment of the battlefield in the Hades galaxy. Condition.
In addition to reinforcements from the Empire, Blood Angels and Savior Realms.
As a shield galaxy with abundant resources and a harsh environment, the Hades Galaxy itself has good defense capabilities.
On the periphery of the galaxy, the glacial asteroid belt known as the "Diamond Shield" is an insurmountable natural barrier.
After that, there is the main ring of the castle.
That is a larger ore planetary belt. Many asteroids have formed a honeycomb-like hollow structure due to years of mining.
The Astra Militarum will place minefields, Spear Stations and Macrocannon batteries here.
That will be the second killing position against the Tyranid swarm.
If the Tyranid swarm breaks through these barriers, several planets will be impacted.
The Lysios star and the Bianhua star were the first planets to face the impact.
They are also important areas for empire defense.
There are approximately 10,000 Battle Sisters and more than 300 million nomads in the nomadic world of Lysios. They will fight against the Tyranid swarm with the Imperial reinforcements.
The flower star on the other side is defended by the Cadian Lightning Army, part of the Vostonian Firstborn Armored Regiment, and the local governor.
These two planets would be responsible for holding back the Tyranid swarm's vanguard until more reinforcements arrived.
After that...
There will be no more.
Ron's eyes darkened as he looked at these.
Co-authored If this wave is not prevented, the Tyranid swarm will be able to directly push the Hades galaxy flat?
No matter how you look at it, the Hades galaxy is the end result.
He finally knew.
Why did the Hades galaxy collapse in the plot he was familiar with?
The gap is too big and there is no way to fight.
Ron closed his eyes, knowing what trick the empire would use next.
That is the extermination order.
Since it can’t be stopped.
Then strengthen the walls and clear the field, and destroy all biomass that can enhance the strength of the Tyranid swarm.
Using the Extermination Order to destroy the planet can not only attack the insect swarms on the surface.
It can also prevent the Tyranid Hive from replenishing new resources, limiting its development and gradually weakening it.
This way.
The empire will have time to gradually mobilize support team after team, slowly wearing down the strength of the Tyranid swarm, until the swarm is so hungry that it can no longer hold on.
Retreat completely.
Before.
In order to resist the Tyranid swarm, the Empire even had a record of destroying two hundred planets in a row and then winning.
This is a classic imperial victory.
We have defeated the enemy anyway, but there is no way to calculate how many people will die.
As long as those people didn't die at the hands of the Tyranids.
That’s making money.
But that was also a helpless move.
You can't just watch the Tyranid swarm gradually grow to the point where it can no longer cope with it, leading to the extinction of mankind, right?
Ron sighed.
Thanks to the existence of his savior, he brought some variables to this war.
True.
The current strength of the Savior Arms is not enough to defeat the entire Leviathan Hive Fleet and save the Hades galaxy.
After all, the Tyranids are the strongest race known, and Leviathan is the largest hive fleet in the history of the galaxy, with an absolute numerical advantage.
He was reluctant to throw all his troops into this war at once.
If you fight head-on.
After this battle, it’s hard to say how many soldiers will survive.
Whatever you do, you will lose.
There is a high probability that it will go bankrupt in place and reorganize the army.
Fortunately.
He had a piece of news in advance.
A good thing that can turn the situation around outside of traditional combat.
Ron suddenly zoomed in on the star map, and an eight-sided lens device platform came into view.
This huge mechanical platform is about the size of an asteroid and is called the Magnificent Prism.
For a long time, the human residents of the Hades galaxy have been enjoying the convenience brought by this mysterious mechanical platform, which can bring endless and abundant electrical energy.
I don’t know.
This huge prism is the core component of the stellar power generation system left behind by the once glorious Necron dynasty.
And.
The Grand Prism is also a galaxy-level celestial weapon that can absorb a large amount of thermal energy from the three-star system of the Hades galaxy, and then gather it together to release a devastating high-temperature energy beam.
If this high-temperature energy beam is used to attack the gaseous planets in the Hades galaxy, the huge burst of energy will sweep across the entire Hades galaxy.
Ron's scalp was numb as he looked at the Grand Prism, but he was also drooling a little.
Such a powerful weapon is what he wants!
Without his interference.
In the middle and late stages of this war, the Necrons in the Hades galaxy will awaken under the threat of the Tyranid swarm and cooperate with the Blood Angels to activate this galaxy-level celestial weapon.
Destroy the Hades system along with most of the Tyranids.
Then, the Blood Angels retreated to Baal to face the aftermath of the Hive.
But it was already the middle and late stages of the war. I don’t know how many people died, and not many people could be evacuated.
Most of the people in the Hades galaxy were destroyed along with the Tyranid swarm.
However, Ron wanted to save these people.
The Hades galaxy is destroyed, but as long as those people can survive.
There is still hope.
He also has confidence that he can give to these people who have lost their homes.
Better life.
Even if you take ten thousand steps back and follow the savior, you won't go hungry for nine meals in three days.
Ron immediately changed his battle plan.
In addition to blocking the vanguard of the Tyranid Hive Fleet, the territory will devote more efforts to rescue.
The entire logistics system and private merchant ships will be dispatched to evacuate humans from the Hades galaxy as much as possible.
Lest they die helpless.
Unfortunately, the Charaton region is facing a population shortage problem, and it can justifiably recruit the population of the Hades galaxy to supplement it.
In this way, we can kill two birds with one stone and save the lives of the people in the Hades galaxy.
He can also make a profit.
The Savior never fights at a loss!
Wait until the population evacuates.
Ron will activate the Grand Prism in advance, so that the Tyranid swarm will not have time to eat and devour the biomass on the planet, but will enjoy a galaxy-level firecracker first!
After the battle plan is finalized.
He quickly issued the Messianic Edict.
The entire territory was quickly organized, and a large number of rescue fleets gathered in the Blackstone Gate airspace and entered the webway one after another to the Hades galaxy.
Now, the vanguard of the Tyranid Hive has arrived.
Ron issued new orders.
Let the vats, War Angels, Void Angels, Battle Sisters, Storm Army troops, etc., who are already in the Hades Galaxy, take the first step to resist the planet that is about to be impacted.
The rescue fleet will also give priority to evacuating humans from those planets.
After all this is done.
Ron also asked the Dream to set off again, heading to the Hades galaxy.
He still had to find Dante.
In order to avoid unpredictable accidents affecting the battle situation.
Ron is going to work with Dante to dig out the sleeping Necron in advance.
Let those metal ribs fight against Hive Fleet Leviathan! ——
Outskirts of the Hades galaxy.
"Diamond Shield" glacial asteroid belt.
Countless celestial bodies in the asteroid belt are wrapped in ice. Under the weak star light, they shine like diamonds, like diamond chains hanging among the stars.
However, such beautiful scenery can be fatal.
It is extremely cold in the glacial asteroid belt, and even warships cannot set foot there. All machinery and life will be completely frozen.
Although the Diamond Shield once blocked many invaders from the Hades galaxy, it also killed more invaders.
Become part of the glacial asteroid belt.
But the Imperial Command is not stupid enough to believe that these natural barriers can completely block the Tyranids with extremely strong adaptability and evolutionary capabilities.
So, the Imperial Command ordered Admiral Jatus to lead the fleet to guard the area between the Diamond Shield and the Fortress Ring.
To hunt down those Tyranid biological warships that luckily escaped from the glacial asteroid belt.
In the void in front of the Diamond Shield.
The dead silence was broken by a sudden movement.
On the edge of the stars, a terrifying shadow spread quietly.
That is the vanguard of the Leviathan Hive Fleet - a large number of alien biological battleships.
These terrifying biological battleships extend their twisted tentacles forward, surging towards the Hades galaxy like a tide.
The scale of the insect swarm is large enough to obscure the stars behind it, turning the originally bright starry sky into a dark curtain.
The starlight was swallowed up, leaving only the terrifying outline of the swarm.
The entire Hades galaxy can feel this invisible sense of oppression, as if the stars are trembling for the coming disaster...
