Chapter 328: The second wave of offensive of the Vanguard Hive, issuing a galaxy extermination order
The Flower Star on the Other Side.
Viewed from space, this once prosperous planet has turned pale yellow.
The atmosphere is filled with microscopic spores, and more large Tyranid sporangia are loaded with biological weapons.
Falling towards the surface.
Infected by the Tyranid Hive, the planet is dying.
In the airspace.
Something happened in the Pioneer Nest.
Many Tyranids, Void Walkers, and Razor Demon creatures rushed forward, spitting out predatory tentacles, biological torpedoes, plasma cannons, and acid.
Covers almost all the space in front.
They are trying to prey on the Redemption Fleet that threatens the Harbinger Hive.
Boom, boom, boom——
The artillery fire roared in the void, and the light shone.
The Third Redemption Fleet responded with macro cannons, light spear arrays, and torpedoes, building a dense fire net.
To intercept these deadly attacks.
In a very short period of time, the space war between the Redemption Fleet and the Vanguard Hive fell into a tense situation.
Redemption of the Third Fleet, inside the bridge of the command ship.
"The macro artillery array of the fourth battle group on the left wing concentrated fire to stop the razor demon!"
Volady looked at the virtual sand table and commanded in an orderly manner to defend against the attack of the Vanguard Hive. .
His eyes were fixed on the light spot in the sand table that represented the Tyranid Razor Demon.
It was an attack-type Tyranid biological ship that broke out from the artillery fire net. Once it was allowed to rush into our front line.
Its tough horns and claws can ignore void shields and easily tear apart any ship.
Cause huge damage.
Fortunately.
He responded promptly enough.
soon.
The concentrated fire of the macrocannon array tore apart the huge Tyranid Razor Demon.
See this.
Volady breathed a sigh of relief.
Actually, the commander was not as comfortable as expected, and there was a slight sweat on his forehead.
Due to his outstanding performance in the Tau Empire war, Voladi led his third fleet to rush to the new battlefield after a short vacation.
He was arranged by the Ministry of Military Affairs to the airspace combat zone of the Flower Star on the other side.
This is a heavy responsibility.
Because the great savior is on the other side of the flower star and cannot tolerate any failure!
The attack logic of the Tyranid Hive Fleet is different from any fleet encountered before.
Volradi felt the pressure for the first time in the war.
That is the terrible pressure that can only be felt in extreme simulation training, and there is even a faint feeling of powerlessness.
Many experiences have failed.
No way.
In the Territory War Database, there is not much data about the Tyranid Hive Fleet, and the attack methods of different Hive Fleets are also different and varied.
It can only be experienced in actual war.
Although the war with the Hive Fleet is difficult, Voladi believes that he can survive it and achieve more growth.
This is also the war he has been looking forward to for a long time, the war that allows him to go all out!
The war in front of us is not the most terrifying thing.
The commander is more afraid of another thing.
After this war.
The territory will be able to obtain more comprehensive data on the Tyranid Hive Fleet, and design more accurate and terrifying high-pressure extreme simulation training based on the data.
Volady just thought about what he would face in the future extreme training, the Hive Fleet that would cover the sky and fill the galaxy and even the star region.
The body could not help but tremble.
He will face hellish wars experienced over and over again.
Such training is mandatory, and all commanders must participate, and it is included in the promotion assessment.
If your performance fails to meet the standards, you will be demoted or even lose your position as commander.
Became a shame among commanders.
Huh~
Volady relieved the pressure. Fortunately, he had personally fought against the Tyranid Hive Fleet.
It can also be considered an advantage.
The space war continues, and the Tyranid Hive Fleet's offensive becomes visibly stronger.
Look outside the dome.
The shadow of Tyranid is approaching more and more, and various Tyranid biological ships and space biological weapons are intertwined.
Dazzling.
In an instant, the pressure of command suddenly increased.
Several cruisers on the front wing of the fleet were entangled by the predatory tentacles of the Tyranids, and the strong pressure forced the hulls to collapse.
Become a spark in space.
Volady's eyes were red and sweat was dripping.
He kept moving the virtual sandbox with his hands at extremely fast speeds to understand the situation on the battlefield and make adjustments immediately.
Strive to maintain the integrity of the defensive front.
Suddenly.
Volady felt his vision blurred and his thinking a little sluggish.
He immediately roared:
"Pharmacist, give me another dose of neuro-strengthening potion!"
The pharmacist responded immediately and injected the commander with a neuro-enhancing potion.
This is the third one. The human body’s endurance is about to reach a critical point.
Fortunately.
Volady maintained the situation.
But it was just to maintain the situation. He had no confidence that he could win this battle.
The best result he could achieve was to redeem the collective destruction of the Third Fleet.
Inflicted heavy damage on the Pioneer Hive and even perished together.
But this kind of fighting method will cause huge losses to the territory and is not worth it.
Because there are currently at least five vanguard hive fleets attacking the outer planets of the Hades system, and they are just the thick tentacles stretched out by Leviathan.
Follow this method of play.
The entire Redemption Fleet will lose combat effectiveness before the main force of Hive Leviathan arrives.
Fortunately.
Volady's mission is not to destroy the Vanguard Hive, but to temporarily block it and provide cover for the arrival of support troops.
In the airspace behind the Redemption Fleet.
The huge logistics fleet successively dropped corresponding supplies to the flower star on the other side, and at the same time sent more medium-sized transport spacecraft two to three kilometers long to the surface.
They are responsible for sending a large number of warriors and large vehicles to the surface, and then transporting the remaining population of the planet away.
At the same time.
The same scene is also happening in war zones such as Lysios.
……
Inside the atmosphere of the flower star on the other side.
The transport fleet was loaded with personnel and supplies and headed for the Helos star port. After entering the atmosphere, they were no longer worried about the attack of the biological ship.
If these space biological ships dare to enter the atmosphere, gravity alone will cause them to be harmed.
However.
Such a large-scale mobilization still alarmed the Tyranid air forces inside the planet.
Spore sticky mines were placed on the fleet's route.
A high-risk minefield was formed.
The flying titan, the giant chitinous dragon, led the sky witches and poisonous fog bugs to attack the transport fleet.
However.
These Tyranid air troops.
It collided head-on with tens of thousands of heavy assault fighters and dozens of Thunderhawk gunboats.
A fierce air battle broke out.
Under the dense escort firepower net and the firelight of the explosion, a large number of chitinous flying creatures turned into meat paste and landed on the ground.
Makes the warring area of the sky.
It began to rain corrosive acid rain mixed with flesh and steel debris.
At the same time.
A group of heavy bombers cleared the way ahead, clearing the spore mines.
These escort units work well together.
Before the new Tyranid air force arrived, they sent the transport fleet to the coverage of the Hyros starport air defense array.
When the transport fleet successfully arrived at the Helos Star Port.
Volady, who was in the space war zone, received the news immediately.
After paying the price of destroying several large battleships, he led the Third Fleet to temporarily withdraw from the war zone.
As expected by the Ministry of Military Affairs.
With a small gap in strength, the Pioneer Hive did not choose to pursue, but stayed where it was and continued to release more sporangia to the surface of the planet.
At the same time, continue to capture biomass.
Actually.
Volady hopes that the Vanguard Hive can catch up so that he can achieve better results.
What a pity.
The Vanguard Hive is smarter than imagined. It followed the established strategy and wanted to get ahead of the arrival of the main force of the Leviathan Hive.
Occupy this planet and turn it into a logistics base.
After Volady withdrew to a safe area, he stopped and built a defensive line, waiting for the opportunity to attack again.
And all of this depends on the battle situation on the surface of the Flower Star on the other side.
Hopefully it will be able to withstand the coming terrible insect wave.
Otherwise, all previous efforts will be in vain...
——
Helos Star Port.
Temporary Savior Command Center.
A combat meeting hosted by the savior came to an end.
The Blood Angels Chapter, the Astra Militarum ordinary troops, the Cadian Strike Force, the Ogryn troops, and the Beyond Flower Star Defense Force were all assigned to their respective theaters.
Their commanders will each lead their own troops to the war zone planned by the Ministry of Military Affairs.
Cooperate with the Savior’s armed forces to resist the swarm of insects.
After the meeting.
The commanders filed out, except Dante, the leader of the Blood Angels Chapter.
The old warrior is in good condition, regaining the fair skin and exquisite appearance characteristic of the Son of Sanguinius.
There is just a hint of gray in the hair.
Without a doubt.
His blood thirst symptoms were suppressed and his body, mind and soul were effectively restored.
Almost back to the top.
To this.
Dante had a brief moment of joy.
That was the redemption that the Blood Angels had dreamed of for centuries. He no longer had to accept the curse, humiliation and pain.
But after he calmed down, those joys disappeared.
At this moment, Dante looked at the savior in front of him, his eyes a little complicated.
After repelling the psychic insect swarm, my body and soul were completely exhausted, and I could only hold on with one breath.
The old warrior heard that Karan had successfully retrieved a blood sample and that the savior had a way to cure blood thirst.
His breath dissipated and he fell into death.
It was a complete relief and relief.
Dante felt that he had fought countless worlds and suffered for countless centuries with a heavy burden on his back.
It’s time to end.
I am so old and tired, it is time to hand over this responsibility to the young warriors in the battle group.
He believed it.
Those young warriors will select a suitable Chapter Master to lead the sons of Sanguinius into a new era.
Just like my younger self.
So.
Dante refused to take in the blood sent by his blood guards and closed his eyes with peace of mind.
Welcome that relaxation.
After he fell into death, the vision of Sanguinius appeared again, as it had so many times before.
Holy as always.
Same as before.
"My great Lord, I have completed my mission. Please take me away and give me eternal rest..."
Dante begged the great Sanguinius again , the benevolent genetic father can take away his own soul.
His mission is over and he really wants to sleep.
The soul returns to the throne.
To the old warrior's surprise, in the holy light, the great Sanguinius nodded.
Agreed to his request.
Sanguinius reached out to Dante in mid-air, trying to lead him away.
Give him peace.
However.
Just when Dante was ecstatic, he knelt down to thank the great Sanguinius for his kindness, and stretched out his hand to leave with the archangel. A gentle golden light appeared.
With the light, the white figure of the archangel disappeared.
The next second.
The golden figure pulled him back to the cold reality.
He is alive again!
The savior gave him the mysterious life essence, restored his body, and suppressed his blood thirst.
Such a change certainly excited him.
But it also represents.
The end of my destiny is far away, and I have no way to retire and rest in peace!
Dante sensed his physical condition, and not only his injuries healed, but also the hidden injuries accumulated over centuries.
The spirit and soul are even more abundant, and the whole person is full of vitality.
In this state.
He can live for at least two hundred centuries!
It seems.
He will have to bear the burden of the Son of Sanguinius for a long, long time.
Just thinking about these.
The chapter leader fell into a deep depression and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
"Ahem... Sir Dante, are you feeling unwell?"
Ron looked at Dante with confusion.
The chapter leader first looked at him with a strange look, as if he was looking at Zhou Bapi, and then sighed deeply.
Looking very tired.
“Is it because the previous treatment was not adequate and there are any residual injuries?”
Ron thought to himself.
He activated his life energy, and a gentle light emitted from his hands:
“If you feel uncomfortable, I can treat you again to ensure that your body will recover better. ”
It’s not his style to do things halfway.
Since the previous treatment was not enough.
Then increase your efforts, invest more life energy, and spend some money to restore this chapter leader to a better state!
In the subsequent war with the Leviathan Hive Fleet, there are still many places where the opponent is needed.
Seeing that familiar light, Dante subconsciously took a step back.
He quickly raised his hand to refuse: "No need, my injury has been completely healed..."
If another treatment adds more lifespan, then he will rest in peace. date.
It has to be postponed again!
"You have done enough for the Sons of Sanguinius, and you should not be tired anymore..."
Dante smiled gratefully.
These words are also very sincere, he is just complaining a little in his heart.
Anyway.
This savior gave himself and the Sons of Sanguinius salvation and was their eternal benefactor.
"Okay..."
Ron glanced at the Chapter Leader doubtfully, then dissipated the life energy in his hand and stopped paying attention to this issue.
It’s also good to save some life energy.
"Your Excellency Dante..."
He walked to the star map of the Hades galaxy, pointed at the symbol representing Leviathan, and got to the point: "You should be able to sense the strength gap between us and Leviathan, right?"
But Ding looked at the star map and gave his opinion: "At present, it is difficult for us to resist the alien swarm. We may need to wait for more support..."
Ron shook his head:
"The Empire has no ability to send any more support. The army from the Savior Territory is the last support, and these are simply unable to resist the main force of Leviathan's Hive."
This is still intervening on its own. case.
Without his support, the Hades galaxy and Baal behind it would face an even more tragic fate.
Countless lives were lost and the Blood Angels were severely damaged.
The team was almost wiped out.
Hear the words.
Dante fell into deep worry.
He looked at the savior, expecting this being to give him a solution to the problem.
"The situation is certainly difficult, but we are not without hope of victory, we just need to pay some price..."
Ron continued.
Then he clicked on the star map and showed the chapter leader a huge mechanical platform near the star space - the Grand Prism.
He told his plan.
After resisting this wave of offensive from the Vanguard Hive, all personnel were evacuated.
Outer planets will be destroyed.
After.
Go find the Necron and activate the Grand Prism to attack the Leviathan Hive Fleet in space.
Ron's words.
Dante fell into a brief silence, knowing what it meant.
That represents the fate of the destruction of the Hades galaxy.
But he made no objection.
But it is the default.
After all, that is the only way now.
The war against aliens is so cruel, and a slight hesitation will lead to more and more terrible disasters.
And.
The plan proposed by the savior is already particularly... kind.
At least.
He is willing to save as many people as possible.
Unlike some crazy high-ranking people...
Ron looked at Dante:
"If that's the case, then this matter is settled!"
Two A person's words can determine whether a galaxy will be destroyed or not.
Although this is cruel, it is also a last resort.
Compassion does not command troops.
In this world, being soft-hearted is not a good thing, it will only kill more people.
Of course.
He thinks the same.
As long as you have enough ability, try to give people more kindness.
The Hades system was doomed, but more of the Imperial citizens here were able to survive and migrate to the Charadon region.
After Ron discussed with Dante, they formally determined the extinction order for the Hades galaxy.
As the savior of the Primarch, he was able to issue such an order of extermination.
Not only him, but Dante also has this qualification.
In a state of emergency.
Many high-ranking officials in the empire have the power to decide the fate of a galaxy and hundreds of billions of people.
Of course, they have to have a valid reason afterwards.
Able to cope with the investigation of the Tribunal.
For most of the higher-ups in the empire, the Inquisition is a disgusting existence, and no one wants to mess with those guys.
They will not issue an extermination order unless it is absolutely necessary.
But Ron is not included among them.
Perhaps as a former planetary governor, he would be afraid of the Inquisition and would be dismayed by it.
But now he is the Primarch the Savior.
One day Ron ran to the headquarters of the Holy Tribunal of Terra and told the representative of the Supreme Tribunal:
"I am a heretic, please investigate me!"
Even the Inquisition did not dare to investigate.
Who would dare to investigate a primarch, a son of the Emperor, if he wasn't out of his mind? Is this a rebellion?
And after checking.
It’s hard to say who will become a heretic.
What’s even scarier is.
What if this was true, what if the Primarch of the Savior was truly a heretic?
How to deal with this?
With Ron's force, army and influence among the various forces in the empire.
He is completely able to prop up a new empire, and the planet Erth will become the new Holy Terra in place, attracting many forces.
The state religion and the Mechanicus are most likely on his side.
At that time, who will be the orthodoxy of the empire?
It’s hard to say.
As long as Ron doesn't shoot at Holy Terra, what is he doing outside?
The Inquisition did not dare to say anything.
Even if some judges with a strong sense of justice speak out, they will be dragged out for trial as heretics.
So as not to affect the harmony and friendship between the Empire and the Primarch Savior.
So.
Ron issued the order to exterminate the Hades galaxy without any burden.
And.
In order not to affect the evacuation of personnel from the Hades system in the Savior’s territory.
He still issued an extermination order in the name of the empire.
Let the empire take the blame.
If you can save more people by taking the blame, the empire can be considered a meritorious deed.
Actually.
Before the Hades Galaxy Extermination Order was issued, the transport fleet of the Savior Territory evacuated people from the planet behind on the grounds of the Extermination Order.
After Dante left.
Ron sat down again and continued to deal with business.
As soon as he sat down, he received the evacuation report from the planet behind.
Show according to the report.
The evacuation was not very smooth at first.
Many people don't believe it and their resistance is serious.
But after the transport fleet, in the name of the original savior, broadcast to the relevant planets the living conditions of the citizens of the savior’s territory and related recruitment commitments.
The people couldn't wait to board the ship.
I can’t stop you!
I am afraid that I will miss such a good opportunity.
After all, it was a local household registration in the savior’s territory, and a job with food and accommodation included.
Not only that, there are also rewards and holidays.
The food is also terrible.
Actually.
This is just the most common recruitment standard in the Savior’s Territory. Any lower standard will violate the laws of the Holy Book of Redemption.
However.
Most of the lower-class citizens of the empire are in extreme fatigue.
The reward received is nothing more than some corpse starch and local currency whose purchasing power is approximately zero.
I will never taste real grain products for eight lifetimes.
The opportunities provided by the Savior’s Territory are enough for them to go crazy!
This way.
The evacuation of personnel from the rear planet went very smoothly, and several batches have been evacuated.
As for those nobles.
They had already received news of the Tyranid alien attack and were more anxious to board the ship than ordinary people.
Want to take refuge in the territory of the Primarch's savior.
After all, the Tyranids' shadow has now covered the galaxy, making it difficult for ordinary ships to sail through the subspace, and they can't even escape by themselves.
For these high-level nobles.
The Savior’s Territory is another set of standards, which imposes extremely high boarding fees.
Even so.
The nobles still cried and shouted to pay the boarding fee, and were worried that the Savior’s staff would not accept it.
They were afraid that if they walked too slowly, they would be devoured by the Tyranid aliens.
After reading the report on the evacuation work, Ron was very satisfied with the progress, which was somewhat ahead of schedule.
This way.
The pressure in frontline planetary battle zones such as Flower Star and other places on the other side will be much less.
According to the current situation.
Each frontline planetary theater will be able to retreat if it lasts another half month.
After.
Ron looked through another document.
That is a document form showing the support supplies, vehicles, and the status of the troops on the other side of Flower Star in the Savior Territory.
This is the focus of the work.
To deal with the insect infestation.
He temporarily incorporated all the imperial troops from the Flower Star on the other side.
He wanted to evacuate some of the troops.
For example, those Ogryns...
