Warhammer: Beginning with Planetary Governors

Chapter 328: The second wave of the Vanguard Hive's offensive, the galaxy extermination order is issued
Red spider lily star.

Viewed from space, this once prosperous planet has turned a pale yellow.

The atmosphere is filled with microscopic spores, and more large Tyranid spore sacs are loaded with biological weapons.

Falling towards the ground.

The planet is dying from the Tyranid Hive infestation.

In the airspace.

There were unusual movements in the Vanguard Hive.

Many Tyranids, Void Prowlers, and Razor Demon creatures pounced forward, spitting out predatory tentacles, biological torpedoes, plasma cannons, and acid.

Almost all the space in front is covered.

They are attempting to prey on the Redemption Fleet that is threatening the Vanguard Hive.

Boom boom boom——

There were roars of artillery fire and gleaming lights in the void.

The Redemption Third Fleet responded with macro cannons, light spear arrays, and torpedoes, forming a dense fire network.

To intercept these deadly attacks.

In a very short period of time, the space war between the Redemption Fleet and the Vanguard Hive became stalemate.

Redemption Third Fleet, inside the bridge of the command ship.

"Left wing Battle Group No. 4's macro artillery array concentrates fire to stop that razor demon!"

Voladi looked at the virtual sand table and gave orders in an orderly manner to defend against the attack of the Vanguard Hive.

His eyes were fixed on the light spot in the sandbox that represented the Tyranid Razor Demon.

It was an assault-type Tyranid biological ship that broke through the artillery fire network and rushed into our line.

Its tough rams and claws can ignore void shields and easily tear apart any ship.

Cause huge damage.

Fortunately.

He reacted promptly.

soon.

The macrocannon array's concentrated fire tore apart the huge Tyranid Razor Demon.

See this.

Voladi breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, the commander was not as comfortable as expected, and sweat was already oozing out of his forehead.

Due to his outstanding performance in the war with the Tau Empire, Voladi led his Third Fleet to the new battlefield in a hurry after a short vacation.

He was assigned by the Military Affairs Department to the airspace war zone of the star Bianhua.

This is a heavy responsibility.

Because the great savior is on the Bianhua star and will not tolerate any failure!
The attack logic of the Tyranid Hive Fleet is different from any fleet encountered before.

For the first time in the war, Voladi felt the pressure.

That is the terrible pressure that can only be felt in extreme simulation training, and there is even a faint sense of powerlessness.

A lot of experience has become invalid.

no way.

There is not much data about the Tyranid Hive Fleets in the Territory War Database, and the attack methods of different Hive Fleets are different and varied.

It can only be experienced in actual war.

Although the war with the Zerg Hive Fleet is difficult, Voladi believes that he can get through it and gain more growth.

This is also the war he has been looking forward to for a long time, a war in which he can give his all!

The current war is not the most terrifying.

The commander was even more afraid of something else.

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.

Voladi only thought about the Zerg fleets that he would face in future extreme training, which would block out the sun, fill galaxies and even star regions.

My body couldn't help but tremble.

He will be faced with experiencing the hellish war over and over again.

Such training is mandatory for all commanders and is counted towards promotion assessment.

Failure to meet the performance standards will result in demotion or even loss of command position.

Became a disgrace among the commanders.

Call ~
Voladi relieved some of the pressure, fortunately he had fought against the Tyranid Hive Fleet personally.

It is also an advantage.

The space war continued, and the offensive of the Tyranid Hive Fleet became visibly stronger.

Look outside the dome.

The shadow of Tyranids is getting closer and closer, 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 Tyranid Kraken, and the powerful pressure forced the hull to collapse.

Turn into sparks in space.

Voladi's eyes were red and sweat kept dripping.

He used his hands to constantly move the virtual sand table at a very fast speed to understand the situation on the battlefield and make adjustments immediately.

Strive to maintain the integrity of the defense line.

suddenly.

Voladi felt his vision blurry and his thinking was a little slow.

He immediately roared:

"Pharmacist, give me another dose of nerve strengthening potion!"

The pharmacist immediately responded to the order and injected the commander with a dose of neural enhancement drug.

This is the third one, and the human body’s tolerance is about to reach the critical point.

Fortunately.

Voladi held the situation.

But it was just to maintain the situation, he had no confidence that he could win the battle.

The best result he could achieve was to redeem the Third Fleet from being destroyed.

Inflict severe damage to the Vanguard Hive or even destroy it together.

But this way of fighting would 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 Galaxy, and those are just the thick tentacles extended by Leviathan.

According to this style of play.

The entire Redemption Fleet will lose its combat effectiveness before the main force of the Leviathan Hive arrives.

Fortunately.

Voladi's mission was not to destroy the vanguard hive, but to temporarily block the enemy and provide cover for the arrival of support troops.

In the airspace behind the Redemption Fleet.

The huge logistics fleet successively delivered corresponding supplies to the star Higanbana, and at the same time sent more medium-sized transport spacecraft two or three kilometers long to the surface.

They are responsible for sending large numbers of warriors and large vehicles to the ground, and then transporting the remaining population of the planet away.

at the same time.

The same scene is happening in the war zone of Lysios.

……

In the atmosphere of the star Higanbana.

The transport fleet, loaded with personnel and supplies, headed for the Helios Star Port. After entering the inner atmosphere, they were no longer too worried about the attacks from biological ships.

If these space creatures dare to enter the atmosphere, gravity alone will be enough to harm them.

however.

Such a large-scale mobilization still alarmed the Tyranid air forces inside the planet.

Spore mines were deployed along the fleet's route.

A high-risk minefield has been formed.

The flying Titan, which looked like a huge chitinous dragon, led the Sky Witch and the Poison Mist Bug to attack the transport fleet.

however.

These Tyranid air forces.

They collided head-on with tens of thousands of heavy assault fighters and dozens of Thunder Hawk gunboats.

A fierce air battle broke out.

Under the dense escort firepower network and the flames of the explosion, a large number of chitinous flying creatures turned into meat paste and fell to the ground.

Make the sky of the war zone.

Corrosive acid rain began to fall, mixing with blood, flesh and steel debris.

Simultaneously.

A group of heavy bomber fighters cleared the way ahead, clearing the spore mines.

These escort forces worked well together.

Before the new Terran air force arrived, they sent the transport fleet to the coverage of the Helos Starport air defense array.

When the transport fleet arrived safely at the Helos Star Port.

Voladi in the space war zone received the news first.

After paying the price of the destruction of several large warships, he led the Third Fleet to temporarily withdraw from the war zone.

Just as the Military Affairs Department expected.

When the power gap was not big, the Vanguard Hive did not choose to pursue, but stayed where it was and continued to drop more spore sacs onto the surface of the planet.

At the same time, biomass is continuously harvested.

Actually.

Voladi hoped that the Vanguard Hive could catch up so that he could achieve better results.

pity.

The Vanguard Hive is smarter than expected. It follows the established strategy and wants to get there before the main force of the Leviathan Hive arrives.

Occupy this planet and transform it into a logistics base.

After retreating to a safe area, Voladi stopped to build a defense line, waiting for the opportunity to attack again.

All this depends on the battle situation on the surface of the Higanbana star.

Hopefully it can hold off the incoming tide of horrible bugs.

Otherwise, all previous efforts will be wasted...
-
Helos Starport.

Temporary Savior Command Center.

A combat meeting chaired by the Savior came to an end.

The Blood Angels Chapter, Astra Militarum regular forces, Cadia Blitzkrieg Force, Ogryn Force and Bana Star Defense Force were all assigned to their respective war zones.

Their commanders will each lead their own troops to the war zones planned by the Ministry of Military Affairs.

Cooperate with the Savior Armed Forces to resist the Zerg.

After the meeting.

The commanders filed out, leaving only Dante, the Chapter Master of the Blood Angels, behind.

The old warrior was in good shape, having regained the fair skin and refined appearance that were characteristic of a son of Sanguinius.

Just a little gray in the hair.

no doubt.

His blood thirst symptoms were suppressed, and his body, mind and soul were effectively restored.

Almost back to the top.

In this regard.

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 when he calmed down, the joy disappeared.

At this moment, Dante looked at the savior in front of him with a complicated look.

After repelling the psychic insect tide, his body and soul had been completely exhausted, and he was only holding on with one breath.

The old warrior heard that Karan had successfully retrieved the blood sample and that the Savior had a way to cure the blood thirst.

His breath dissipated and he fell into death.

It was a complete relief and liberation.

Dante felt that he had fought for countless worlds and suffered for countless centuries with a heavy responsibility.

It's time to end.

I am so old and tired, it is time to hand over this heavy responsibility to the young warriors in the regiment.

He believed.

Those young warriors will select suitable chapter masters to lead the descendants of Sanguinius into a new era.

Just like when I was young.

and so.

Dante refused to ingest the blood sent by his blood guards and closed his eyes in peace.

Welcome that ease.

After he fell into death, the vision of Sanguinius appeared again, as it had so many times before.

As holy as ever.

Same as before.

"Great Lord, I have completed my mission. I pray that you take me away and grant me eternal rest..."

Dante once again begged the great Sanguinius, the benevolent Gene-Father, to take his soul away.

His mission has come to an end and he really wants to fall into deep sleep.

The soul returns to the throne.

To the old warrior's surprise, the great Sanguinius nodded in the holy light.

Agreed to his request.

Sanguinius reached out his hand to Dante in mid-air, trying to lead him away.

Give him peace.

however.

Just as Dante was overjoyed and knelt down to thank the great Sanguinius for his kindness, and stretched out his hand to follow the archangel to leave, a gentle golden light appeared.

Along with the light, the archangel's white figure disappeared.

next second.

The golden figure brought him back to the cold reality.

He is alive again!

The savior granted him a mysterious life essence, which restored his body and suppressed his thirst for blood.

Such changes certainly made him excited.

But it also represents.

The end of my own destiny is so far away that I can’t retire and rest!

Dante sensed the condition of his body and found that not only his injuries had healed, but also the hidden injuries that had accumulated over the centuries had recovered.

The spirit and soul are full of energy, and the whole person is full of vitality.

in this state.

He can live for at least another two hundred centuries!

It seems.

He will have to bear the burden of being the son of Sanguinius for a long, long time.

Just thinking about this.

The chapter leader fell into a deep depression and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"Ahem... Lord Dante, are you feeling unwell?"

Ron looked at Dante in confusion.

The captain first looked at him with a strange look, as if he was looking at Zhou Bapi, and then he sighed deeply.

He looks very tired.

"Could it be that the previous treatment was not adequate, and there are some residual injuries?"

Ron thought to himself.

He activated his life energy, and a gentle light emanated from his hands:
"If you're not feeling well, I can treat you again and make sure your body recovers better."

It's not his style to give up halfway.

Since the previous treatment was not enough.

Then we need to increase our efforts, invest more life energy, and spend a lot of money to restore this chapter leader to a better state!
In the subsequent war with the Leviathan Hive Fleet, there are still many areas where we need each other.

Seeing the familiar light, Dante subconsciously took a step back.

He quickly raised his hand to refuse: "No need, my injuries have completely healed..."

If he is treated again and his life span is extended further, that will be the day he will rest in peace.

It has to be postponed again!

"You have done enough for the son of Sanguinius. You should not be burdened with any more..."

Dante smiled gratefully.

These words were also very sincere; he was just complaining a little in his heart.

anyway.

This savior gave salvation to himself and the sons of Sanguinius and is their eternal benefactor.

"All right……"

Ron looked at the chapter master in confusion, then dispersed the life energy in his hand and no longer paid attention to this issue.

It would be nice to save some life energy.

"Mr. 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 gap in strength between us and Leviathan, right?"

Dante 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 is no longer able to send any more reinforcements. The army of the Savior Territory is the last resort, and they are simply unable to resist the main force of the Leviathan Hive."

This is even with my own intervention.

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 badly damaged.

The group was almost wiped out.

Hear the words.

Dante fell into deep worry.

He looked at the savior, expecting this being to provide a solution to the problem.

"The situation is certainly difficult, but we are not without hope of victory. It just requires some sacrifice..."

Ron continued.

Then he opened the star map and showed the chapter commander a huge mechanical platform near the stellar space - the Grand Prism.

He described his plan.

After resisting this wave of attacks from the Vanguard Hive and evacuating all personnel.

Will destroy the outer planets.

after that.

Just go find the Necrons and activate the Grand Prism to attack the Leviathan Hive Fleet in space.

Ron's words.

Dante fell into a brief silence, and he knew what it meant.

That represents the fate of the destruction of the Hades Galaxy.

But he did not object.

Instead, it acquiesced.

After all, that's the only way now.

The war with aliens is so cruel that any hesitation will lead to more and more terrible disasters.

and.

The plan proposed by the savior is already particularly... merciful.

At least.

He was willing to rescue as many people as possible.

Unlike some crazy high-ranking people...

Ron looked at Dante:

"In that case, then this matter is settled!"

The words between these two people determined whether a galaxy would be destroyed or not.

Although this is cruel, it is 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.

If you have the ability, try to be more kind to people.

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, he officially issued the extermination order for the Hades Galaxy.

As the Primarch's savior, he could issue such an extermination order.

Not only him, Dante also has the qualifications.

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 plausible reason afterwards.

Able to cope with the investigation of the tribunal.

For most of the high-ranking officials in the Empire, the Inquisition is a terrifying existence and no one wants to provoke them.

They will not issue an extermination order unless they have no other choice.

But Ron is not among them.

Perhaps as a former planetary governor, he would be afraid of the Inquisition and be terrified of it.

But now he is the Primarch Savior.

One day, Ron went to the headquarters of the Holy Terra Tribunal and said to the representative of the Supreme Tribunal:

"I am a heretic, please investigate me!"

The court didn’t even dare to investigate.

Who, unless they were out of their minds, would dare to investigate a Primarch, the Emperor's own son? Is this rebellion?

And after checking.

It is hard to say who will become a heretic.

Even more terrifying.

What if this is true, what if the savior Primarch is really a heretic?
How to deal with this?

With Roan's military force, army and influence among the various forces in the empire.

He is fully capable of supporting a new empire, turning the planet Ers into the new Holy Terra and winning over many forces.

The Ecclesiarchy and the Mechanicus are most likely on his side.

At that time, who will be the legitimate ruler of the empire?

It’s hard to say.

As long as Ron doesn't bombard Holy Terra, what is he doing outside?

The court didn't dare to say a word.

Even if some inquisitors with a strong sense of justice spoke up, they would be dragged out for trial as heretics.

So as not to affect the harmony and friendship between the Empire and the Primarch Savior.

and so.

Ron issued the extermination order for the Hades Galaxy without any burden.

and.

In order not to affect the evacuation of personnel from the Underworld Galaxy by the Savior Territory.

He still issued extermination orders in the name of the empire.

Let the Empire take the blame.

Taking the blame can save more people, and the empire can be said to have done a great deed.

Actually.

Before the extermination order for the Hades Galaxy was issued, the transport fleet of the Savior Territory had already evacuated its personnel from the planet in the rear using the extermination order as an excuse.

After Dante left.

Ron sat down again and went back to business.

As soon as he sat down, he received the evacuation work report from the planet behind.

According to the report.

The evacuation was not smooth at first.

Many people don't believe it and their resistance is quite strong.

But after the transport fleet, in the name of the Primarch Savior, broadcast the living conditions of the citizens of the Savior's territory and related recruitment promises to the relevant planets.

The people couldn't wait to board the ship.

Can't stop it!
I was afraid that I would miss such a good opportunity.

After all, he was given a local household registration in the Savior’s territory and a job with free food and accommodation.

Not only that, there are also salaries and holidays.

The food was horrible too.

Actually.

This is just the most common recruitment standard in the Savior's territory. Any lower would violate the laws of the Holy Book of Redemption.

however.

Most of the lower-class citizens in the empire were extremely exhausted.

The only compensation they received was some corpse starch and a local currency with almost zero purchasing power.

You will never be able to taste real grain products in your lifetime.

The opportunities provided by the Savior's Territory are enough to drive them crazy!
Thus.

The evacuation of personnel from the rear planets has been going very smoothly, and several batches have been transported away.

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.

I want to run to the Primarch Savior's territory for refuge.

After all, the shadow of Tyranids has now covered the galaxy, and ordinary ships can hardly navigate through the subspace, and they can't even escape by themselves.

For these high-ranking nobles.

The Savior Territory has another set of standards and charges extremely high boarding fees.

Even so.

Those nobles still paid the boarding fee with tears and shouts, and they 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 Tyranids.

After reading the report on the evacuation work, Ron was very satisfied with the progress, which was slightly ahead of schedule.

Thus.

The pressure in the war zones on frontline planets such as Higanbana will be much less.

According to the current situation.

The front-line planetary war zones can hold out for another half a month before they can retreat.

after that.

Ron flipped through another document.

That was a document form containing the support materials, vehicles, and the status of the various troops on the Red Spider Lily Star in the Savior Territory.

This is the focus of the work.

To deal with the insect swarm.

He temporarily incorporated all the imperial troops on the planet Higanbana.

He wanted to take away some of the troops.

For example, those Ogryns...
