Warhammer: Beginning with Planetary Governors

Chapter 344: Man-eating Shark: We can’t live like this anymore!

After Ron gave the order to add more supplies, he continued to listen to Taco's report.

Currently.

The Redemption Fleet has already headed for Baal en masse, with approximately over a thousand large warships and even more affiliated battle groups;
Nearly 60,000 Space Marines including Thunder Guards, War Angels, Void Angels, Sons of Man, and Alien Hunters have also arrived.

The Storm Army dispatched a large number of armored forces, including 300 Redemption Titans, more than 2,000 Imperial Knights, and a large number of heavy vehicles and artillery.

Not only that.

The Tau Empire will also send more than a hundred large warships and numerous combat suit teams. As for the greenskinned Steelfang Tribe, they will send combat satellites and multiple warships, basically all of them.

and.

The Savior Territory sent out not only the army, but also more transport fleets and engineering teams to cooperate in evacuating the population and building fortifications.

No way.

If ordinary people are not evacuated, once the war breaks out, they will most likely become Terran's biomass supplies.

All the population must be evacuated.

Fortunately, there are not many planets involved this time, only three planets in the Baal galaxy and six or seven small colonial planets in the surrounding galaxies.

The transport fleet and engineering troops are estimated to be able to move most of these places.

"Lord Savior."

Taco said confidently: "The evacuation and transportation project has been going on for some time. We will ensure that all the work will be completed before Terran arrives!"

hum~
The porthole armor on the left slowly rose up, and the warm light of the stars poured into the cabin.

Ron stood up and walked to the porthole, looking outside through the reinforced glass. Not far away was a planet with a mixture of pale yellow and slightly green.

This is the closest colonized planet to Baal. The surface is covered with forests and rivers and contains rich biomass.

It is very likely to be a must-pass place for the Tyranid Hive and an important area for evacuation work.

now.

He could see densely packed large black spots in the planet's orbit, which almost obscured the entire planet's airspace and surrounded it tightly.

Those were huge transport ships one after another.

The yellowish smoke was the dust caused by the construction. There were at least dozens of engineering titans and countless large-scale engineering equipment working.

There are tens of millions of engineers operating the machines alone!
Ron nodded, praising Taco's evacuation work. "Good, remember to move it cleanly and don't leave anything for the bugs!"

Because there is plenty of time.

This evacuation will not only involve the removal of the population, but also the removal of plants, animals, rivers and other things on the surface that contain a lot of biomass. Even river water and land will be pumped out and moved away.

Let the Tyranids deprive them of any supplies!

In other words, the Savior's territory is still relatively small and cannot develop a larger-scale transport fleet. Otherwise, these mechanized transportation engineering teams would be much more efficient than the Tyranid swarm.

To be more extreme.

They sent people to keep an eye on the Tyranid hive, and once they locked onto a target, the engineering team would use the webway to transport all the valuables away in advance.

Then what was left was a bare ball of earth equipped with whirlwind torpedoes.

It won’t starve to death!

of course.

If the Savior's armed forces could defeat the bugs, there would be no need to go to such extremes.

This time the moving work was indeed a helpless move.

If the Savior Territory does not intervene and carry out the evacuation, the Blood Angels will not be able to evacuate the population of these planets.

According to the original situation.

In response to the horrific Tyranid Hive, Dante followed the example of a radical Inquisitor and issued an extermination order for all system along his path.

Create a buffer zone in the universe to weaken and isolate Tyranids.

As the people in the colonies looked on with hope as the angel fleet arrived over the planet, expecting to be rescued.

What fell from above their heads was an order of extermination without any explanation, and they died at the hands of the angels who protected them.

That's also something that can't be helped.

Tyrann is coming.

The fate of these colonies was already sealed. Even if no extermination order was issued, they would have perished at the hands of the Zerg and become nutrients for the Tyranids to replenish their forces.

It's not just the people in the colonies.

The fate of the Sons of Sanguinius was equally grim, with many of their warriors willingly accepting death missions with no chance of survival.

To slow down Tyron's pace.

This is the cruel galaxy that mankind has to face. Whether it is Chaos Heresy or Alien, it can bring a lot of despair and painful sacrifices to people.

for all this.

The warriors of the Empire are used to it.

But the arrival of the savior changed everything a little, making the war less cruel.

There is more hope for humanity.

The Savior Armed Forces adhere to the sustainable development war concepts such as "what is the enemy is mine" and "armed encirclement and crushing".

Not only did they deal a heavy blow to humanity's enemies, but they also grew richer the more they fought.

For example, the Battle of the Hades Galaxy.

Not only did they inflict a heavy blow to the Tyranids and preserve the population, creatures, wealth and other living resources of the Hades Galaxy, but they also dug up the tombs of the Necrons and obtained a large amount of precious technology.

This will further develop the technology in the Savior's territory.

Even for this battle of Baal, the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Ministry of the Interior have made detailed plans. The Savior Territory must not only assist Baal in repelling Tyranids, but also consider post-war recovery and reconstruction.

Make the Baal galaxy prosperous and develop as much as possible after the war, and greatly improve the living environment and standards of the people of Baal.

The work of transporting resources from these planets is not meaningless.

Those are all good things, relatively rare resources. In the future, these vegetation, organisms, clean water and fertile soil will be used in the reconstruction of Bal.

Bal probably won't be able to digest the population evacuated from these colonized planets.

The only option is to let them go to the Savior's territory to live a better life, which will at least be much better than their lives in the colony.

After watching for a while, Ron turned to look at Taco and said, "I won't look at the other evacuation tasks. Let's go directly to Barr. Dante should be waiting anxiously."

"Yes, my savior."

Taco immediately sent the captain an order to set sail, and then reported the new situation:

"The Space Marine-related equipment and vehicles in the Webway Armory have been counted. There are approximately 20,000 sets of armor and supporting equipment, nearly 1,000 vehicles of various types, and the latest 2,500 sets of Centurion armor.

These are already being loaded on board and are expected to arrive in Bar sooner than we will.”

In order to enable the Space Marines to quickly replenish their equipment, the Military Affairs Department and the Logistics Department jointly built an arms depot on the Webway.

By quickly delivering relevant equipment and resources through Webway logistics, Space Marines can fight without worries and complete their missions.

In addition to the Space Marines' armory, the Stormtroopers' armory is also under construction, but because it occupies a large area, it will probably take another year to a year and a half to complete.

After all, there are too many things to consider when building a warehouse in the web channel.

Many factors affect the storage status of equipment, vehicles, and ammunition.

Fortunately.

These problems will be perfectly solved after the sacred tower is built.

The sacred towers that are being built now are of the latest model, high energy consumption type, and are only used to fight in large quantities.

Ron believed that the old God Emperor would be very happy and would love these creations.

Those sacred towers will frantically draw energy from the golden sun and create more sacred light to bless the relevant areas.

Under the illumination of the holy light, the equipment in the armory will not only not be corroded, but will also be protected and become even more powerful!

Actually.

After the equipment and vehicles produced in the Savior Territory's Forge World come off the psychic automated production line, not only do the machine souls have to undergo the training of the Mechanical Goddess program.

They will also be sent to a special venue to be bathed in divine light under the golden sun and hymns to the Savior.

Only after being exposed to the sun for 13 days can the equipment and vehicles be smeared with holy oil and officially packaged and shipped out to various institutions.

It can be said.

The equipment and vehicles in the Savior's Territory have the potential to become relics, which is a guarantee of quality in the galaxy!
"The logistics department is quite fast..."

Ron nodded, very satisfied with the logistics speed of the logistics department.

Thus.

Once he arrives in Baal, he will be able to distribute equipment to the Blood Angels and the warbands that come to help more quickly.

Give them more time to adjust to the new equipment.

The armor of the porthole slowly fell down, sealing the cabin, which meant that the Dream was about to enter the subspace.

See this.

After finishing his report, Taco bowed and quietly left. He knew that the savior was ready to rest.

Ron stretched and followed the back passage into the miniature garden.

The environment there is no less than that of a garden planet and the lighting is no different from that of the real sun.

He didn't really like the feeling of traveling in the subspace, so he took this opportunity to have a good sleep under the shade of the tree.

In the airspace.

A rotating subspace channel appeared, emitting dark purple arcs.

The Dream drove towards the passage at a low speed and disappeared in the airspace in an instant...
-
Nearby airspace.

The old cruiser leaped out of the warp with a creaking sound.

This is a Tyrant-class cruiser produced during the Exile Period. It is approximately three kilometers long and has a ferocious white shark marking on its hull.

That represented the ship's name - the White Screw, one of the Carcharodon Space Marine Chapter's most prized possessions.

The Carcharodon are a nomadic, ship-based Chapter of Space Marines loyal to the Imperium.

Known for being brutal and ferocious.

But they are even more famous for their poverty.

The Carcharodon is loyal to no one Primarch, nor does he accept command from the Holy High Lords of Terra, but only to the Emperor himself.

This also made it difficult for the chapter to obtain any resource subsidies from the Empire, which was even worse than the Human Chapter.

If these two brothers meet, they might just hug each other and cry.

Due to various reasons, the Great Shark has been in exile for tens of thousands of years, often operating in the Outlands, that is, areas outside the empire's territory, to eliminate any enemies of the empire they encounter.

In addition to destroying the enemy.

Their more important purpose is to find resources to "subsidize the family".

For example, through the "Gray Tax", that is, by searching for technological relics in the outer domain and exchanging them with the Mechanicus for the equipment and ammunition needed by the regiment.

However, they are often faced with price pressure from the big money oil owners, but they are helpless.

After all, that is the most important source of equipment, and only an oil man would collect those messy things.

Of course, enemies are also resources.

After killing the enemy, you can remove the equipment.

The new blood of the Carcharodon and the servants of the regiment are replenished through the "red tax", that is, capturing able-bodied men from any planet to supplement the relevant population resources.

However, due to high-intensity combat and scarce and unstable resource sources, they often fall into a situation of resource shortage.

It is truly a bolt gun that is passed down from generation to generation, and each one is a pure "holy relic".

After centuries of maintenance, some bolter rifles can even have all their parts replaced, but it is still unclear whether a bolter rifle with all its parts replaced is still the original one.

That is a philosophical question.

Anyway, the Sharknado warriors will swear that it is, and that is definitely the original relic!
It is enough to make people cry that a Space Marine Chapter and the Emperor's Angels could end up like this.

Inside the battle barge's hold.

The shark warriors came and went.

As they passed through the passage, they were extremely careful to avoid collisions so as to prevent their pieced-together armor, painted gray to pretend to be a complete set, from being scratched or damaged.

Although these warriors are extremely brave when fighting the enemy, they will do their best to maintain their precious equipment outside of combat.

Chapter Master Tiberus was wearing ancient Terminator armor, his skin was pale, and his black eyes were looking at the holy relic on the table with great concentration.

They were ancient relic gloves named "Hunger" and "Thirst", with barbed power blades on the gloves combined with the viciously serrated inner side to form a very deadly and destructive structure.

Its style and manufacturing method are quite rare, even the Mechanicus is amazed by it.

This is also his most important weapon, almost impossible to replicate, and he regards it as his life.

Tiberus carefully used an oilcloth to apply a little holy oil, then carefully wiped the power blade of the glove and any area to ensure that it was fully maintained.

Taking good care of their equipment is a compulsory course for all shark warriors and one of the greatest pleasures in their daily life.

He was extremely gentle.

No one could have imagined that this was a notorious being.

Tiberius once single-handedly attacked a Tyranid ship and dismembered all the bugs inside.

It is said that his eyes have no soul, only deep black.

Some people say that he is a bloody killing machine, so fast that it is invisible to the naked eye and only torn bodies are left wherever he passes.

Even more terrifying.

He displayed extremely precise and deadly intent in his brutal combat, as if every massacre was calculated in advance rather than the result of rage.

Actually.

Tiberus's fighting style mainly concerns damage to his precious equipment.

As long as he is fast enough and accurate enough, he can kill the enemy as quickly as possible and minimize the loss of equipment.

When Tiberus completed the maintenance procedure, he carefully covered the relic with oilcloth.

Think tank director Ti Kahurangi walked in at the right time.

He actually waited for a while.

But it was impolite to disturb a white shark that was maintaining its equipment, so I didn't come in.

The director of the think tank came here this time to report on the financial situation and gains of the regiment.

The regiment has suffered heavy losses during this period, and the battles in the outer lands have seriously consumed their equipment. If this continues, the regiment will have to fight in battle with bare chests.

of course.

The Great Shark also wrote to the empire many times to request resources.

But typically, the correspondence between the Shark and the Empire went something like this:
Man-eating Shark: Request Holy Terra to provide material and manpower support!
Empire: Financial constraints prevent support, please tighten your belts.

White Shark: Please give me a belt...

Empire: I suggest you go and rob it yourself, thank you!

There was no way. The equipment of the Space Marines was too expensive. The Holy Terra Ministry of the Interior and the High Lords were unwilling to pay for such a regiment.

To solve the financial problems of the chapter.

Tiberus even sent the captain of the 3rd Company and the director of the think tank to contact the renegade Space Marine pirate warband, the Ash Claws, to make some gray deals.

"Sir, the harvest from the last exploration of the outer domain was very rich..."

As usual, the think tank director began his financial report.

Hear the words.

Tiberus's legendary soulless black eyes lit up.

According to the report.

The items obtained from this Outland exploration are:

A void computing cable, 70% usable; a precious ship fragment from the Third Dawn Exploration Expedition, and a red amulet of even greater value.

through these.

The items they obtained included:

A company's worth of bolters, plenty of ammunition, and two Land Marauders, their hulls gleaming silver.

What's more, they got 6 pieces of Terminator armor!
Although the original quantity was 12 pieces, this result was satisfactory enough, and those oil men did not lower the price even more.

The think tank director spent almost a whole day to complete the handover of the equipment, carefully checking each piece of equipment, especially the six Terminator armors, to ensure that they were intact.

Tiberus listened with a smile on his face.

Soon, he heard even better news that the captain of the third company accepted the challenge of the Ash Claw when he went to trade with the Ash Claw.

The company commander won three consecutive victories in the duel arena and won back a group of children as well!
This is excellent news.

after that.

The director of the think tank talked about the mission to support Baal again. Those bugs are not easy to deal with.

Tiberus gritted his teeth and said:

"Dante has to give me some supplies. In addition to the regular equipment, I need at least 12... no, 24 pieces of Terminator armor, brand new ones!"
