Chapter 438 Let me see what you are doing~~
"Lord Regent, the rebels have retreated. We have defended the Sanctuary of the Sun. Now it is time to launch a pursuit."
The Imperial Navy, the Imperial Guard, the Chapter Masters of the Astartes... a lot of people surrounded Guilliman, clamoring to send troops to fight back. The Empire has gathered so much power here, what else is it afraid of?
Guilliman is one head and two heads high. Did these people lose their minds when they heard about military achievements? You are retreating, but even if such a big hive battleship crashes, it can still crush you.
After that, the group of mortal advisors began to analyze on their own, such as insufficient ammunition, being intimidated by the Emperor's power, insufficient resources to repair the battleship...
This cannot be blamed on them. All the soldiers who participated in that terrifying defensive battle would never believe that the opponent had not used all their strength, such terrifying artillery fire and hordes of adamantine centurions to attack. Even the staff of the Ministry of Military Affairs We can't imagine any more powerful offensive.
The analysis of the psykers is slightly more reliable. They believe that the Red Torrent has tried to launch attacks on the eight important subspace channels of the Sun Sanctuary, but it has not been effective, so they will definitely seek support.
The roving fleets in the Pacific Star Territory may be just smoke bombs. Their real goal is to isolate the Space Wolves' expeditionary force, and attack the wolves from the front and back with the enemies in the Eye of Terror, opening up the Eye of Terror's external attack path.
So this group of psychic consultants have been considering the possibility of cooperation between Red Torrent and Abaddon. The warbands who turned traitor but did not surrender to Chaos and Abaddon still had a common theme in overthrowing the Empire.
Guilliman was feeling tired. He summoned a core group of people for a meeting, which might fill the entire round table. There were too many departments in the empire.
The original body stood up, and its tall body had a terrifying sense of oppression on humans.
"Everyone, the participants today are all the helmsmen who can determine the destiny of mankind. I don't think it is necessary for me to explain the meaning of loyalty again, but I hope you have not forgotten the past."
The "minister" of the Ministry of Military Affairs frowned slightly, was he talking about past battles? In one heartbeat, he roughly went through all the war records involving the Sun Sanctuary in his mind, and the high-intensity memories made his semi-mechanical face look even more dull.
The original body continued: "What is the sign that we humans, in the true sense, are walking towards the galaxy on the bones of all living things? Is it the establishment of the Human Empire? No, earlier, is it the birth of the Emperor? No, earlier, is it the birth of the Emperor? Was it the first time humans made tools? Maybe, but I think it was the first time humans stood up, the first time they tried to walk, the first time they tried to run."
The original body's eyes became sharp, scanning everyone's faces.
"Human beings began to run. They ran on the glacier called the Cold Era, jumped over the dilemma of the planet cage, jumped on the cliff in front of the vast galaxy, and stepped on the runway called subspace... .The same is true for us, and the same is true for the Red Torrent. Never underestimate any opponent, especially they are also human beings."
"They discovered a big pit called Sun Sanctuary and found that they couldn't jump over it. What would they do?
Now that the rebel has retreated, do you think he has given up on jumping?
No, he stepped back to make room for a run. "
Guilliman pointed to the shining location of Terra on the map and said loudly: "They will definitely come. Everything they do is to expose our weaknesses. Send me my order. The troops will continue to hold on and increase the patrol frequency of the security forces. The Inquisition will immediately supervise the army."
This sentence made the boss of the Ministry of Military Affairs almost jump. The defense forces of our Ministry of Military Affairs are also subject to supervision by the Tribunal? So what is my political commissar used for? What is my war team used for?
Both sides are fighting for their own interests, and the original body is really thinking about what Yifeng has done.
In the end, he felt that it was Yifeng who thought it was time for the "Blood Game" to enter the next stage.
In the continuous attacks, the empire discovered its own defense flaws, but had to admit that without the materials from the other four star regions, the defenses of the Sun Sanctuary would be built more slowly.
The core goal is to defend Terra before the Emperor's resurrection, and it is necessary to allow fortress building materials, guns and ammunition, battleship repair supplies, etc. to enter the Sun Sanctuary.
Moreover, we must be prepared for a protracted war and prepare supplies for more than ten years or even decades.
It took several years for supplies from other distant star fields to be transported to the gate of the Sun Sanctuary. After it was confirmed that the red torrent had retreated, a large amount of supplies suddenly poured in, making a large number of space ports overcrowded.
The original body immediately issued the next order, "Strengthen the inventory of materials at the port, and be careful of enemies hiding in material transport ships to raid the port."
This kind of order, which is not very clear to the specific location, is passed down from the superiors, and it becomes more and more strict as it is passed down. It seems that Guilliman is the omniscient spokesperson of the All-Father, and what he says is correct! That's a prophecy!
The alert level at all ports has been raised to the highest level...
Then the ships of Tzeentch followers and genestealers were discovered, and there were also a few carrying Khorne's relics - a bloody head that falsely claimed to be an imperial relic and wanted to transport it to Terra.
Among the grassroots cadres, Guilliman's reputation has suddenly increased. You can tell whether the Sanctuary of the Sun has been defended and whether the infiltrating enemies have been caught!
As for Yifeng now...
Go find trouble with the Alpha Legion.
Anyway, according to the records, they are traitors. No one knows who appears now, and... who can guarantee that they are not disguised as the traitorous Alpha?
At least from the intelligence point of view.
The defense forces in that area suffered a devastating blow. The Alpha Legion used the Queen of Glory battleship Alpha to defeat and steal a large number of ships. It had no bottom line for the unyielding planet.
How many years have you experienced the orbital bombardment of the Glory Queen-class battleship? Like a magnificent legion during the Great Crusade, they used their proud agents and infiltration technology to paralyze the planet's void shield. The raids of battleships and the devastating blow to the ground command system quickly plunged the imperial world into chaos.
Loyalist Planetary Defense Forces were brutally murdered, their bodies piled haphazardly in the streets.
There is no need to worry about the occurrence of epidemics and the invasion of the plague army, because the people who resisted tenaciously were hit by the extermination order together with their corpses.
The Alpha Legion over there was releasing a large number of Extinction Order weapons, causing devastating attacks on several connected sub-sectors.
The ship was filled with looted slaves and looted supplies. The corpse starch blocks were rarely made from corpses. (This thing is usually made from grains mixed with chemical additives, and animals can also be used)
The enemy not only plundered supplies and people, but also cut off their descendants. Yifeng had to stop them.
Although I do this, but I don’t have to give up the extermination order, how can I do it by fishing in the dry lake?
The People's Light sailed there alone, because only this flagship has the strongest anti-submarine capability.
By the way, they made a big splash, pretending to attack Ultramar, occupy Macragge, the home planet of the Ultramarines, and establish a separatist regime.
.....
Yifeng was sitting in the main seat. There were more and more people in the long conference room, but also fewer and fewer people.
The two seats of the Wolf Brothers are empty. Only Ans is sitting in the middle, appearing alone. The seat next to Frusz is also empty. Enke uses remote communication to participate in the meeting. Anthony's seat is now occupied by Barton. He and Ka Shanif sat together.
"Everyone, we have done this many times, and this should be the last time."
"I hope there will be fewer of them coming. It is always not good for both sides to shout and charge each other for the Emperor."
"Intelligence shows that there are basically no Astartes. They are all Imperial Navy ships, perhaps carrying madmen from the Inquisition."
On the strategic map, red dots are flashing, and several fleets of the empire are scattered forward. This is normal. They are just trying to identify the reconnaissance ship of the People's Light, but there are a few large fleets hidden in these red dots. middle.
All those in the First Expeditionary Force who disobeyed Azrael's orders and acted privately died in front of the adamantine armor.
Those of the Astartes Chapter who did not obey Guilliman's call and went out privately died in front of the adamantine armor.
Now, it's the turn of this group of Imperial Marines.
Guilliman's order to stick to the Sanctuary of the Sun was obviously not followed. Although the number of troops that came out was negligible for Yifeng, it could still teach them a painful lesson.
This served to reinforce "the regent's wise decision-making."
The battleship suddenly turned back and ambushed in an asteroid belt.
(It’s just an excuse not to be discovered. Anyway, there is a holographic projection to make it invisible)
.......
Kazanev looked at Sisyphus. He hadn’t acted with him for who knows how many years. The old think tank wiped out the pulp from the pumpkin hammer. He knew the disadvantages of this weapon very well.
It is most suitable for reconnaissance, as it can quickly detect the traces of lurkers. It is not only useless against many enemies, but also consumes psychic energy.
"Sisyphus, have you made any predictions lately?"
"No, you know, the soldiers are well protected by the anti-psychic armor." Sisyphus' prediction about the red torrent has never been very clear.
"So about the 20th Legion, are there any predictions?"
"They hide under the shadow." The think tank answered truthfully. This is what he saw, a group of shadows.
Mad Wolf just laughed at the vague words.
The old think tank touched the lightning power claw with his hammer, "Let's go pull them out. Of course, first we'll see if some dirty things got in."
The jump was as usual. The shield-breaking fluctuation overloaded the opponent's void shield. The jump was relatively smooth. The predetermined position was floating in the air. Except for one soldier who lost his prosthetic arm, everything was normal.
As soon as Sisyphus completed the gang-hopping, he unfolded the "Evil God's Perspective". On the side of the subspace, a purple line connected from a very far distance to here. There must be something wrong.
Kazaniv spent more than ten minutes to find him, a believer of Slaanesh, a general corrupted by the desire for power and glory. The psyker behind him seemed at a loss. He sensed the approach of evil forces. , I originally thought it came from the subspace, but I didn’t expect that it was actually close to the real world.
When he caught him, he muttered, "I have contacted General Clairdo Lacres, and his fleet will cooperate with us! Don't be afraid, brothers, just go on board! Capture this giant ship, and glory will shine on me." !”
Lightning crackled behind him, and the shining star was eclipsed in front of "Whoring Yao".
"Need to interrogate? Sisyphus Think Tank?"
"Old think tank?"
When Kazanev turned his head, Sisyphus was lying on the ground suffering from epilepsy.
The mad wolf tore the Chaos believer in front of him into pieces with one claw, and several cavalry terminators quickly surrounded him, protecting the think tank in the middle.
The old think tank's face twitched, and this time it lasted particularly long. Crazy Wolf felt that everyone in the cabin had been killed, and there were no Rebound Gang soldiers charging towards him.
Suddenly, the battleship shook violently.
An imperial navy ship opened fire on the ship frantically, trying to wipe out all the crew and adamantine warriors on the battleship.
"We should move the think tank. It's too dangerous here, brothers," an "old" Terminator suggested. Although the implantation of Belisarius's furnace failed, he still relied on this sacred Terminator to survive tenaciously. Here we are today.
"Don't move, any action we take may lead to the failure of the think tank's predictions."
Kazanev was still standing at the door, looking at the corridor filled with corpses in front of him, and said without looking back.
Sisyphus' whole body began to convulse violently, and most people didn't know what was going on, calling the pharmacist and calling for more support.
"Darkness, they are coming, they are coming!"
The think tank suddenly stood up, sat upright in a standard manner, and shouted to the sky.
Crazy Wolf's eyes were still fixed on the corridor, but he was retreating. He patted a soldier on the shoulder, and quickly turned around after switching defenses.
The Belisarius furnace of the Great Thinker was activated, bringing him back from a near-death state, and the Thinker's head almost exploded.
Sisyphus grabbed Crazy Wolf's hand and said, "Tell Yifeng that it's the Tyranids and they are heading towards Alpha."
After saying that, the old think tank completely fainted.
Yifeng was still shocked when he received this news.
The shocking point is...did the old think tank take a look at the subspace projection of the Great Devourer and still be alive? As expected of the Emperor's Scythe Chapter.
Let's go and have a look. If you don't accept it, just fire the main gun.
This is a good explanation for why the Alpha Legion threw the Extermination Order away as if it was free of charge. Yifeng's flesh ached just looking at it. The Extinction Order weapons were also very expensive.
The flagship floated over there from the subspace, then jumped out when it was close to the Great Devourer's subspace body, and floated over there from the real world.
.....
The Alpha Legion is quite chaotic. They have the best intelligence network, but they still have a dark eye when facing enemies outside the galaxy.
The only Outland Exploration Fleet responded that the opponent was still ten Terra Days away, and this message took six Terra Days to float back from the real world.
The Warp has been flooded, the heads of the Astropaths exploded, and the psykers were the first to go berserk, staring directly into the Warp projection of the Great Devourer at the cost of shattering their souls.
The low-level think tanks of the Alpha Legion fell into coma, and the high-level think tanks were shaky and could only sit at the command platform and cough non-stop.
The Imperial worlds below resisted fiercely, and they simply attributed the deaths of all Astropaths to the invasion of the Chaos Traitors.
There are Astra Militarum stationed below, one regiment of Cadian and one and a half regiments of the Mordian Iron Guard. This is a very powerful force that can withstand most invaders in conjunction with the planetary defense forces.
The Mordians' iron-blooded military rules allowed them to detect abnormalities in advance.
The Astra Militarum cannot stop the Astartes, but they can blow up the tunnels.
The opponent directly blew up the key channel between the Void Shield module and the Void Shield module, and then stood at the edge of the wide space between the two devices. The elite Skitarii of the Mechanicum could barely keep up with the Astartes' movements, with sufficient firepower. Plus the wide space can make up for some disadvantages.
More Mordians fought to the death in the narrow corridor, and their position would never be lost until the last Mordian died. In this regard, they were as good as Valhalla.
"Alpha, this is the last planet. There is no other living thing within six light years. As long as this place is destroyed, the disaster will not spread."
Don't ask why it's called Alpha. When the original body is away, the supreme commander is Alpha... To be precise, the soldiers of the 20th Legion don't know if the one standing at the top is really Alpharius.
"Current progress."
"The passages in all areas from D43 to G67 were blown up. They cut off the retreat. It was very difficult for us to move forward. The underground drilling vehicle was intercepted underground. We accidentally got into a large passage. A Cady Team An discovered us and chased us along our drilling channel in an unknown modified personnel carrier. The drill was severely damaged and unable to move forward."
The Astra Militarum used every method to delay time, hoping that the first and only astrological message sent would receive a response.
"A large number of people have gathered in the church area. Do we want to launch a strike?"
The amount of information the Alpha Legion has is several times that of an ordinary Chapter.
"Bombing in formation, let the assault troops concentrate on breaking through their anti-aircraft batteries. Don't panic, we still have time."
Once air superiority is gained, the heavy bombers can use the melt-blast plasma bombs left over from the Great Crusade, and even if they explode, they will give me a way to the void shield module.
The Tyranid threat must not spread.
On the supreme command platform, Commander Alpha was inspecting the activation status of a new batch of weapon souls reported by the technical sergeant, but the trembling voice of the think tank director broke all order.
"They are coming, they have arrived, outside the galaxy, they are here..."
"Dong~~"
Commander Alpha slammed the table.
"Shall we retreat?"
"No, order all the soldiers below to retreat. I need a fighter formation."
All the Silent Spirit bombs have been moved out. After wandering in the subspace for a long time, the 20th Legion was unable to replenish these bombs. There were even many times when these bombs were relied on to prevent them from being corrupted.
The clear area required to release the Extermination Order is huge, and Alpha Legion is ready to give it a try.
"Use virus bombs, and hope that this group of people will not have too many underground survivors." The advantage of virus bombs is that they start to detonate as soon as they enter the atmosphere. They do not need to go deep underground, giving the opponent an opportunity for anti-aircraft fire.
Next, Commander Alpha gave an unexpected order. "I need three fighter jets to escort the virus bomb and ensure its smooth detonation at all costs."
"They can't come back, we don't need to do this!" A Dalian company commander shouted, his voice like sandpaper grinding his throat.
"Maybe the Tyranids won't get here and will go back."
"Give up your childish ideas." The commander shouted loudly, which was rare.
"The future of mankind cannot be gambled."
The Tyranid Hive Fleet is coming from afar. They have reached the world of the Genetic Cult, which was blown up by the Extermination Order into a magma ball with continental plates colliding with each other like crazy.
"The Tyranid exploration fleet was discovered outside the galaxy! Ninety-eight ships in total."
Even so, the size of the reconnaissance fleet was still astonishingly large. Commander Alpha roared and ordered, "Get ready quickly, abandon the heavy vehicles dropped, everyone withdraw, withdraw!"
This battle was a failure. They succeeded fifty-one times, and they must not fail the last time.
Four space fighters carried Hope and flew toward the void shield, and the hive city's last anti-aircraft battery roared, singing an elegy to itself.
Tyranid's biological fleet began to exchange fire with the ships of the Alpha Legion. They were so huge. A battleship was covered with ship chains like squid tentacles. The sharp barbs pierced the armor and dragged the steel battleship towards them. In arms.
The Silent Spirit bomb left the fighter's hanger, the Alpha opened the black hole's release port, and the virus bomb aimed at the location below.
The bio-plasma overloaded the void shield. This time, the Tyranid's plasma cannon was so powerful that a ship with only one bio-main cannon could break the defense of an Imperial warship with one shot.
The jumping chitin flying needles filled the space, and the few torpedoes looked pathetic and ridiculous.
The virus bomb broke out of the battleship cabin and poured directly into the planet through the breach. The fighter jet fired six missiles to destroy the anti-aircraft missile silo hidden in the wasteland.
Well done to you, Cadian people, for hiding this anti-aircraft missile base until the very end in a fierce air and space offensive.
The fighter jet disintegrated in the air, followed by two other fighters facing death.
The explosion of the virus bomb immediately swallowed up the two fighters, and the two Astartes became a ball of flammable and explosive gas in the power armor.
Only the Astartes' bodies could withstand the same fall acceleration as the virus bombs, and they succeeded.
The planet became lifeless in three minutes, and burned in the fourth minute.
The Alpha Legion had no time to celebrate their victory as the Tyranid fleet stalked them.
What Alpha Scouts found was not the first Scouts.
The first scouts had circled behind them.
Front and rear double teams.
Commander Alpha had only one option left, which was to concentrate his firepower to break out toward the rear and fight his way through so many Tyranid ships.
"Commander, we don't have much supplies, and... the transport ship can't fly fast enough."
"Abandon. Abandon all refugee transport ships...deploy bombs and do not let the Tyranid Hive Fleet taste any flesh and blood."
Cold-blooded, something you have to learn in war.
