Warhammer: Beginning with Planetary Governors

Chapter 322 Dig out the Necrons!

A few days later.

airspace.

hum-

Space fluctuations.

The Dream jumped out of the subspace channel and slowly moved forward.

Inside the bridge.

Ron looked at the pale yellow planet surrounded by two green satellites and knew that he had arrived at the home of the Blood Angels - Baal.

The Baal Galaxy is extremely small.

It consists only of the main star Baal and two satellites, located in the Baal star system in the Extreme Star Region.

The main star Baal is an extremely dry desert world with frequent sandstorms.

Full of mutants, mutants and savage creatures.

In contrast.

Prime and Secandus are more suitable for human habitation, but not too good.

Because in the official rating of the Empire, all planets in the Baal galaxy are classified as barbaric worlds.

however.

The Blood Angels still chose the desert world of Baal as their main star.

Ron was looking through the information on the Blood Angels.

He expressed a certain understanding of the Blood Angels' choice.

Just like the planet Danus, more difficult environments often create stronger warriors.

The human tribes in Baal live a nomadic life, facing various deadly threats all the time, but this also tempers their bodies and wills.

Make them more adaptable to the harsh environment.

Since the days of Sanguinius, the Blood Angels have recruited candidates from among the tribes known as the "Vampires".

Every generation, young people from all the "blood" tribes in the Baal galaxy will participate in the Great Competition organized by the Blood Angels.

All contestants need to hike through a desert full of mutant creatures and radiation to reach a cliff called Tianlin Land.

Then use the Angel Wings, a hang glider made of leather and vines, to leap from a towering cliff.

If they don't die, they still have to fight against giant fire scorpions and blood-sucking monsters in the canyon.

Fight your way out.

When the contestants came out of the canyon stepping on the skeletons of countless companions.

You can then take part in the final challenge.

They will enter a gladiatorial arena for the final showdown.

Only contestants with the most powerful martial arts skills will survive.

In the end, about 50 people will stand out and board the legendary "Sky Car".

It is actually the Thunderhawk gunboat.

The remaining surviving and unqualified survivors can either stay to guard and challenge themselves, or walk back to the tribe on their own.

The entire journey is at your own expense.

The 50 winners will be taken to the Blood Angels monastery in the heart of the desert on Baal Prime.

Officially become a candidate.

Most of these candidates bear the marks of a hard life in the past. Long-term malnutrition and hunger have caused them to be hunchbacked, short and poorly developed.

and.

The radiation during the great race caused many people to have red spots of varying sizes all over their bodies, and they suffered from radiation sickness and early symptoms of cancer.

"I take back my previous understanding..."

When Ron saw this, he felt a little numb. Compared to the planet Danus, Baal was still too extreme.

Such a comparison makes me seem too kind.

really.

This selection process is still not very scientific.

The reason why those new blood candidates were able to make up for the previous shortcomings was entirely due to the powerful adaptability of the Blood Angels' gene seed.

According to the data.

All candidates must hold a vigil in the monastery's cathedral before the formal conversion ceremony begins.

No rest allowed.

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 archive records of this.

The candidate who survives the transformation ceremony will receive a scarlet holy grail from the holy blood priest, which contains some blood-like liquid.

After they drink it, they will fall into a deep sleep and their hearts 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 ingest a mixture of nutrients and the blood of Sanguinius through their veins.

Further transformation.

In this process, many people with weaker constitutions who cannot adapt to the stress of remodeling will die.

Those who survive will become true Blood Angels.

Such changes are earth-shaking.

Those short, hunchbacked candidates, after becoming Blood Angels, will gain tall bodies, sharp predatory eyes, smooth skin, handsome faces and hidden sharp teeth.

They move gracefully and are as beautiful as sculptures carefully crafted by a master.

"As expected of a descendant of Saint Guinius, he is still good-looking. He has the opportunity to completely change his life constitution. No wonder those candidates are so desperate..."

Ron sighed slightly.

Unfortunately, all the gifts bestowed by fate are secretly marked with a price.

When candidates become Blood Angels, they will acquire a symptom called "blood thirst".

They crave human blood.

Moreover, this need for blood does not come from physiological reasons, but rather a desire at the psychic or soul level.

This is a sad fate.

When the Blood Angels do not drink blood for a long time, they will become weak or even old, and become extremely mentally exhausted.

To maintain the status.

The Blood Angels carry and drink bottles of human blood mixed with wine.

They called it "Kalash".

That blood is usually donated voluntarily by blood servants.

However, in some extreme cases, the Blood Angels will lose control and attack and kill their allies for blood, even if they have large vials of human blood at hand.

Later, the Blood Angels met an even sadder fate.

After Sanguinius was brutally murdered by Horus, the Blood Angels suffered from a mental illness known as the Black Rage.

When the battle is at its fiercest, that is when the Black Rage tends to strike.

This makes them extremely aggressive, unable to distinguish friend from foe, and they will even attack their own fighting brothers.

This brought great trauma to the Blood Angels and also caused great harm to the Human Empire.

This time Ron came to see Dante, the leader of the Blood Angels, just to see if he could solve the blood thirst and black rage that the Blood Angels were suffering from.

This is good for everyone.

It's not a pleasant feeling to be suddenly stabbed in the waist by a teammate during a battle.

Not only that.

If we can successfully resolve the Tyranid swarm.

He would also send an environmental engineering team to the territory to see if they could work with Bal on some cooperative projects, using the technology of the Golden Age to transform the environment of the Bal galaxy.

Improve the living environment of those tribes, so that at least the candidates will have better physical fitness to face the great competition.

Reduce unnecessary casualties.

not to mention.

Those candidates who participate in the transformation with better physiques may be able to make the transformed Blood Angels more powerful.

of course.

These changes would need to be fully evaluated by the relevant scientific research teams and would need to be agreed to by the Blood Angels.

After the Dream came to a steady stop in the far Earth orbit, it sent relevant information to the Blood Angels.

Just as Ron was about to board the landing ship and head to the Blood Angel Monastery to meet Dante.

The reply message from the monastery completely disrupted his plans.

Dante is not in Bar.

He has led the Blood Angels to the Chthonic system to defend against the Tyranid xenos threat.

???

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 was more than half a year earlier than the Ministry of Military Affairs had expected.

Subsequently.

More data and news came.

Then he understood the reason for the incident, which was caused by the confusion of time zones in different regions.

The different speeds of time flow cause this change.

Although Ron notified Holy Terra in advance, it only bought the high lords a little more time for the meeting.

now.

The Tyranid swarm has begun to assault the outer defenses of the Hades system.

Fortunately, under Ron's influence, the Empire's support troops have arrived and the Blood Angels are on the way.

The situation is not too bad.

At present, the Empire has mobilized all the troops that can arrive.

include:

A naval fleet led by Admiral Jatus with hundreds of large warships and battle groups.

General Mellon led 30 million Astra Militarum troops drawn from various places, including the Cadian Blitzkrieg and the Vostroyan Firstborn Armored Regiment.

They will deploy defenses in the Hades system.

These are among the most elite regiments in the Empire.

Due to the urgency of wars everywhere and the sudden arrival of the Tyranid swarm, that was all the troops the Empire could mobilize and arrive.

However, these troops are still not enough.

The main force of this war is most likely the Savior Forces and the Blood Angels.

The Sons of Man led by Da Tong happen to be in the Hades Galaxy.

They have taken over the battleships that were sent to them, obtained the weapons and equipment, and have also dispatched reconnaissance ships to conduct preliminary reconnaissance on the size of the Tyranid swarm.

The territory has also found the webway exit in the Hades Galaxy and is organizing the army to go to the Hades Galaxy through the webway.

With the navigation advantage of the webway, we should not miss the opportunity to fight.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner.

however.

After seeing the latest information sent back by the barrel, Ron fell into deep worry.

Inside the bridge.

Ron and the officials from the Military Affairs Department looked at the overwhelming image of the Leviathan Hive Fleet projected in the air.

I was deeply shocked by it.

Even a hint of fear arose. The Tyranid swarm... was too huge, a scale that was enough to drown the galaxy!

According to calculations by the Ministry of Military Affairs.

If we face the attack head-on, we will have to send in all the Imperial reinforcements, Blood Angels, and Savior forces that can be mobilized.

Also difficult to resist.

This is the Tyranid Swarm.

They don't disguise themselves at all, just follow the predetermined route and devour everything along the way without bias.

Even if you are a prophet and know in advance that the swarm of insects is coming, you will still be suppressed by the absolute numbers.

There is no way to resist.

Ron looked at the projection of the Tyranid swarm with a frown on his face.

Such a huge scale is not something that the fleet can resist. It may require more powerful planetary or even galaxy-level celestial weapons.

To be able to cope with it.

The trouble is.

The territory's technology is not enough.

The only planetary-level weapons currently under construction are the green-skinned combat satellites, and they have not yet been fully completed.

I'm afraid it won't be able to catch up with the war in the Underworld 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 further understand the defense situation of the Hades Galaxy battlefield.

In addition to reinforcements from the Empire, Blood Angels, and Savior Territory.

As a shield galaxy with abundant resources and harsh environment, the Hades Galaxy itself has good defensive capabilities.

On the outskirts of the galaxy, the glacial asteroid belt known as the "Diamond Shield" is an insurmountable natural barrier.

After that, it is the castle lord's ring.

That is a larger mineral planet belt. Many asteroids have formed honeycomb-like hollow structures after years of mining.

Here the Astra Militarum will place minefields, lance stations, and macro cannon emplacements.

That would be the second killing line against the Tyranids.

If the Tyranids break through these barriers, several planets will be impacted.

Lysios and Higanbana were the first planets to be impacted.

They were also important areas for the empire's defense.

There are approximately 10,000 Battle Sisters and more than 300 million nomads in the nomadic world of Lysios, who will join the Imperial reinforcements in resisting the Tyranid swarm.

Higanbana was defended by the Cardian Blitzkrieg, part of the Vostroyan Firstborn Armored Regiment, and the local governor.

These two planets will be responsible for blocking the vanguard of the Tyranid swarm until more reinforcements arrive.

Further on...

There is no more.

Ron looked at this and his eyes went dark.

So if this wave is not defended, the Tyranid swarm will be able to directly destroy the Hades Galaxy?

No matter how you look at it, the game is over for the Hades Galaxy.

He finally knew.

Why did the Hades Galaxy be destroyed in the plot that he was familiar with?

The gap is too big, there is no way to fight.

Ron knew with his eyes closed what move the Empire would use next.

That is the extermination order.

Since it can't be stopped.

Then we should clear the countryside and destroy all biomass that can enhance the strength of the Tyranid swarm.

Using the Extinction Order to destroy a planet will not only strike at the Zerg swarms on the surface.

It can also prevent the Tyranid Hive from replenishing new resources, restricting its development and causing it to gradually weaken.

Thus.

The Empire would have time to gradually dispatch support teams one after another, slowly wearing down the strength of the Tyranid swarm until the swarm was too hungry to hold on.

Retreat completely.

prior to.

In order to resist the Tyranid swarm, the Empire even destroyed two hundred planets in a row and then won the battle.

This is a classic imperial victory.

Anyway, the enemy has been defeated, so there is no way to calculate how many people died.

As long as those people didn't die at the hands of the Tyranids.

That's making money.

But that was also a helpless act.

We can't just watch the Tyranid swarm grow to a point where we can't handle it, leading to the extinction of humanity, right?
Ron sighed.

Fortunately, the existence of him, the savior, brought some changes to this war.

True.

With the current strength of the Savior Armed Forces, it is not enough to defeat the entire Leviathan Hive Fleet and save the Hades Galaxy.

After all, the Tyranids are the strongest known race, and the Leviathan is the largest hive fleet in the history of the galaxy, with an absolute numerical advantage.

He was also reluctant to throw all his troops into this war at once.

If you face the battle head on.

It is hard to say how many soldiers will survive after this battle.

No matter how you fight, you lose.

The most likely scenario is that they will go bankrupt on the spot and have to rebuild the army.

Fortunately.

He got the 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 platform came into view.

This huge mechanical platform, about the size of an asteroid, is called the Grand 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 a steady supply of abundant electricity.

I don't know.

This huge prism is the core component of the stellar power generation system left behind by the once glorious Necrons 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 to release a devastating high-temperature energy beam.

If this high-temperature energy beam is used to attack the gas planets in the Hades Galaxy, the huge energy it explodes will sweep across the entire Hades Galaxy.

Ron felt his scalp tingling 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 Chthonic System along with most of the Tyranids.

The Blood Angels then retreated to Baal to face the aftermath of the Hive.

But that was already the middle to late stages of the war, and an unknown number of people had died, and not many could be evacuated.

Most of the people of the Hades Galaxy were destroyed along with the Tyranids.

However, Ron wanted to save these people.

The Hades Galaxy was destroyed, but as long as those people could survive.

There is still hope.

He also has the confidence to give to those who have lost their homes.

better life.

Even if you take a step 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 invest more manpower in rescue.

The entire logistics system and civilian merchant ships will be mobilized to evacuate as many humans as possible from the Hades Galaxy.

Lest they die helplessly.

This is unfortunate. The Chalaton region is facing a population shortage problem, and it can justifiably draw population from the Hades Galaxy to supplement it.

This way, we can kill two birds with one stone and save the lives of the people of the Underworld Galaxy.

He can make some money too.

The Savior never fights a losing battle!
After the population evacuated.

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 promptly issued the Messianic Edict.

The entire territory was quickly organized, and a large number of rescue fleets gathered in the Blackstone Gate airspace, entering the webway one after another to the Hades Galaxy.

Now, the vanguard of the Tyranid Hive has arrived.

Ron issued new orders.

Let the barrels, war angels, void angels, battle nuns, Storm Army troops and others who are already in the Hades galaxy go first to resist the planet that is about to be hit.

Rescue fleets will also prioritize evacuating humans from those planets.

After doing all this.

Ron also ordered the Dream to set off again, heading for the Hades Galaxy.

He still had to find Dante.

In order to avoid unpredictable accidents affecting the war situation.

Ron plans to work with Dante to dig out the sleeping Necrons in advance.

Let those metal ribs defend against the Leviathan Hive Fleet with me! ——
The outskirts of Hades Galaxy.

"Diamond Shield" glacial asteroid belt.

Countless celestial bodies in the asteroid belt are wrapped in ice. Under the faint light of the stars, they sparkle like diamonds, like diamond chains hanging among the stars.

However, this beautiful scenery is deadly.

The ice asteroid belt is extremely cold, even warships cannot set foot in it, and all machinery and life will be completely frozen.

Although the Diamond Shield once kept many invaders out of the Hades Galaxy, it also caused the deaths of many more invaders.

Become part of the glacial asteroid belt.

But the Imperial Command is not foolish enough to believe that these natural barriers can completely block the Tyranids, who have extremely strong adaptability and evolution capabilities.

Therefore, the Imperial Command ordered Admiral Jatus to lead the fleet to defend the area between the Diamond Shield and the Castle Lord's Ring.

To hunt down those Tyranid biological warships that managed to escape from the glacial asteroid belt.

In the void in front of the Diamond Shield.

The dead silence was broken by a sudden movement.

At the edge of the stars, a terrible shadow quietly spread.

That was the vanguard of the Leviathan Hive Fleet - a large number of alien warships.

These terrifying biological warships stretched out their twisted tentacles forward and surged towards the Hades Galaxy like a tide.

The swarm is so large that it is enough to block out 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 could feel this invisible sense of oppression, as if the stars were trembling for the impending disaster...
