Warhammer: Beginning with Planetary Governors

Chapter 361: Hive Will: I will personally eliminate the threat!
hum~
The thought array of Tyranid's brain worm flashed with lavender arcs, which represented the strong thought fluctuations of the hive will.

It was hesitating whether to abandon this area, end the war, and move to a new feeding ground.

This is a difficult decision.

The Hive Mind of Leviathan has traveled a long way to this barren Red Scar region in vengeance.

However, the intervention of the savior brought about an even greater change in the situation.

It has invested too much cost here and accumulated too much hatred. It would be reluctant to leave.

not to mention.

The Hive Mind cannot guarantee that the hungry biological fleet will have enough biofuel to make it to the next area.

Moreover, in the absence of biomass supplies, more Tyranid creatures will inevitably have to be sacrificed as temporary supplies during the voyage.

That will lead to more losses.

The ancient wisdom of the Zerg was caught in a dilemma.

Neither continuing to attack nor leaving is a good option.

Suddenly, several more bioelectrical signals were heard.

Before those reconnaissance units were destroyed, they sent back valuable intelligence, including the location of the Saviors and their command system.

They even found a defensive weakness that was enough for a small group of Zerg units to sneak into the central core area.

"Perhaps, the insect swarm still has a chance to absorb the biomass here..."

This valuable information gave the Hive Mind a choice, and it seemed to have found a new breakthrough.

These days, it has realized that the reason why the Savior's army is so powerful, far superior to other human armies, is mainly due to its sophisticated and efficient command system.

The Savior's command system fully organized the army into a close-knit collective.

Instead of fighting each other like headless flies under the shadow of Tyranids like other human armies.

Without those command systems, the Savior's army would not be able to resist the invasion of the Zerg even if they had more and more powerful artillery.

Any breakthrough could become an opportunity for the Zerg to turn the tide of the battle and thus disintegrate the entire line of defense.

In the eyes of the Leviathan Hive Will, as long as they can destroy the Savior or destroy the command center, they can remove the enemy's intelligent mind and greatly weaken the enemy's power.

This would not only shorten the war, but could even tip the balance of victory towards Terran.

The Hive Mind thought of more:
"We can't let the savior continue to develop in the galaxy, otherwise the Great Devourer's pace of encroaching on the galaxy will be hindered..."

This ancient Zerg wisdom firmly believes that when the Great Devourer arrives in the galaxy, everything here will be completely digested.

Even if all species in the galaxy, including those fetid creatures in the warp, were added together, they would not be able to resist the giant mouth of the Devourer.

Actually.

These vanguard tentacles are merely reconnaissance units temporarily created and released by the Great Devourer.

It is almost the same as the stealth reconnaissance unit created by oneself and sent to the core area of ​​the Baal battlefield. It is only responsible for detecting the strength of the food here.

If the local food in the galaxy was too weak, there would be no need for the Great Devourer to come.

These vanguard tentacles of Leviathan are enough to devour an entire star region and then return to the Great Devourer to pay tribute to biomass.

Judging from the current situation, the pioneer tentacles have already spent nearly ten thousand years, and it is obvious that they are unable to consume all the biomass resources here on their own.

So after they issued a call to the Great Devourer, they chose a new strategy, wandering around the galaxy and devouring in order to slow down the development of galactic species.

Make the eating experience after the Great Devourer arrives better.

The distances between star regions in the universe are so long that it may take tens of thousands of years or even longer to reach from one place to another.

So much can change during this period.

The vanguard tentacles have learned their lesson.

Hundreds of thousands of years ago, in another large star field, due to the lack of timely interference and intrusion, the species in that star field developed rapidly and reached an astonishing level.

The species in that star field resisted the Great Devourer, and the resistance caused large-scale destruction of the star field space, making the Great Devourer's meal process very unpleasant.

This cannot happen again.

Today, the Great Devourer has just finished his last meal and is heading to the galaxy.

The mission of Leviathan's pioneer tentacles is to devour as much as possible, create chaos, and weaken the development of species civilization within the Milky Way.

Give the Big Devourer a pleasant dining experience.

Now, the appearance of the Savior makes Leviathan feel alert and worried. He is very likely to become the one who destroys the Great Devourer's dining experience.

Now the Savior even dares to eat insect flesh and develops insect swarms as food. I dare not imagine how many more terrible things he will do in the future.

The Leviathan Hive Mind has determined that the Savior is the greatest threat in the galaxy, a vile existence that destroys the Great Devourer's dining experience.

Compared to this guy, other weak, stupid humans are nothing.

Admittedly, the Savior is not the most powerful being in the galaxy, and neither is his army. There are too many stronger individuals and larger armies here.

But the Savior and his army are growing too fast, and they are getting stronger step by step.

That is definitely an evolution.

This speed of "evolution" has already made Leviathan feel a little scared.

If there is a chance, the Savior must be strangled, swallowed and digested. This is not only for the dining experience of the Great Devourer, but also for the safety of the Pioneer tentacles.

Otherwise, the vanguard tentacles will be destroyed before the Great Devourer arrives.

The Leviathan Hive Mind's mind was working, and after analyzing all of this, it suddenly felt that the risk to the galaxy had become higher.

It made a choice and decided to pay more to try it once.

See if we can use decapitation tactics to eliminate the Saviors and destroy the command system in the Bal region.

hiss~
The old insect-like hive will issued a new command, the surrounding space fluctuated, and the figures of three special hive overlords appeared in the chamber.

These mutant hive overlords are about five meters in size, covered with nearly silver chitinous carapaces. They appear extremely flexible, with crystalline veins glittering on their claw blades, generating an unknown energy field.

no doubt.

These claw blades are indestructible and have terrible destructive power.

more importantly.

Possessing the power of invisibility, they are stronger assassins than the Licart and are also its last line of defense.

Now, the Hive Mind decided to send out these three Hive Overlord Assassins to end the Savior's life.

Win this war for yourself.

Not only that, it also dispatched more advanced mutant units to cooperate with these three mutant hive overlords.

Advanced mutant units are coming out in full force, which is already a huge investment.

It can be said that I gave my all.

But it's not over yet.

yah~
The spore sacs surrounding the old insect exuded an energy field, and its bioelectricity was spreading.

soon.

A mutated Hive Tyrant exudes a stronger energy field, and its eyes change, revealing the light of wisdom and a bottomless, eternal hunger.

The hive mind completely controls this advanced mutant unit.

At this moment, they are one.

The ancient wisdom of the Zerg decided to take action personally and kill the savior!
Inside the Leviathan hive mothership, a small silver-white biological ship quietly slid out from the cavity.

After arriving in the void, the color of the small biological ship's hull immediately changed and merged into the cosmic void, making it almost impossible to distinguish its location.

It was extremely fast and quickly merged into the swarm of creatures attacking Baal and headed towards the surface of Baal.

……

Bal ground war zone, central area.

A medium-sized tower stood, which was the temporary sanctuary of the Savior.

Ron concluded his meeting with the business representatives.

During the preparations for the Battle of Baal, the business department of the Savior Territory sent out news about the development of a cooperative project with Terran's commercial value.

Merchants from inside and outside the territory were invited to come to Barr after the war to discuss related matters, mainly focusing on food and related chemical products.

After the news was released, many businessmen immediately applied and rushed to Bal as soon as possible before the war.

Even if there is a terrible war about to happen here, it doesn't matter.

Their merchant ships were also loaded with war-related supplies, which they were willing to donate unconditionally to the Savior.

More than 20 years ago, after the Savior Territory gradually prospered, the economy fell into a stage of stagnation and it was difficult to break through the bottleneck.

After in-depth research and analysis, Wangting District established a commercial department and decentralized the rights of a considerable part of commercial economic activities to promote further opening and development of the economy.

This move has led to rapid development of business activities in the territory and completely activated economic vitality.

This also fits with Ron's view on business.

In his opinion, the empire's current business is too scarce.

If humans cannot establish prosperous commercial trade, it will be difficult to promote productivity and achieve further development.

Today, there are two departments related to the territory's economic activities, one is the merchant department and the other is the commercial department.

The merchant department represents the Royal Court District, and its main responsibilities are selling weapons, important technological products, as well as opening up new land and dredging waterways.

The commercial sector represents the people's livelihood economy and, after the waterway is opened, goes to various places to carry out trade activities.

After years of development.

Some merchants in the territory have become wealthy and have contributed a lot of economic and resource benefits to the territory. Those merchants know.

This is a unique opportunity. If we wait until after the war, the opportunity will have been taken away by other businessmen.

In fact, the vast majority of merchant representatives who arrived in Bal before the war came from the Savior's territory, and only a few were traveling merchants from nearby areas.

They believed that the great savior could protect them and win the war, and they also believed that their efforts would be rewarded.

But for the businessmen of the Empire, it is ridiculous and dangerous to risk almost certain death to arrive at an apocalyptic-level battlefield to develop the commercial value of the Tyranid aliens.

Not everyone can make this decision.

Most of the merchants who received the news gave up out of fear, or planned to wait until after the war to check again.

Only a few merchants who had come into contact with the Savior's territory or had a detailed understanding of the Savior made a resolute decision to come themselves or send their children.

Except for commercial purposes.

They mainly want to establish some relationship with the Primarch of Hope and the Savior.

Even if I could just see the savior and let that being know the existence of my family, it would be enough.

Even if doing so may cost the life of oneself or one's offspring.

Simply put, this is a gamble, a gamble that the savior can defeat Tyranid, and a gamble that he can live up to anyone who is willing to offer his loyalty.

Fortunately, the efforts of these merchants were not in vain.

Their safety was guaranteed, and they got the opportunity to meet the savior and obtained relevant projects.

It can be said that it is a huge profit.

Whether it was the merchant representatives from the Savior's territory or the merchant representatives from the Empire, they all smiled happily when they left the Savior's office.

What can be foreseen is.

Their family will take off in the many years to come.

Perhaps this friendship could last for hundreds or thousands of years, or even longer, allowing their family to survive better in the galaxy.

"These guys are really brave and have vision..."

Ron looked through the list of merchant representatives and couldn't help but praise them.

After all, not everyone dares to risk being swallowed by Tyranids and come to this dangerous battlefield to develop a Tyranid business project that doesn't even exist.

Especially those imperial merchants.

Because the project they are going to operate is related to the Tyranid aliens, which is extremely dangerous within the environment of the Empire.

Even if they are merchants with more freedom, there is a high probability that they will be severely judged.

No matter how you look at it, it was a difficult decision.

Since these merchants dared to come at this time, it meant that they believed that the savior could protect them from harm, and that they had some understanding and confidence in the prospects of the project.

Therefore, he admired these traveling merchants and was willing to give them more opportunities.

In Ron's opinion, the commercialization of Tyrannosaurus still has prospects.

Especially in the food industry.

From a development perspective, these Tyrannosaurus worms, which eat everything and can grow meat with anything they eat, are simply the most perfect meat-producing units.

Able to provide a large amount of meat products.

There are many types of Tyranids, and their bodies contain rich chemical fluids and structures, which give them functions such as long lifespan, invisibility, stimulation of bioplasma, acid, regeneration, and rage.

Moreover, Tyranid's biological ships and flesh-and-blood buildings can convert almost any substance into biological nutrient solution and energy, and quickly produce insects.

This is definitely the future of biotechnology, and there is so much potential!

Whether in the energy industry, medical industry, or even the health care products industry, there are good development prospects.

Even if we raise a group of Tyranids to be responsible for the planet's reclamation work, or to deal with domestic and industrial waste, and to eliminate pollution, it would be very good.

In fact, Ron thought of more.

According to the data, there is a Tyranid fleet in the galactic region that has evolved the ability to devour chaos-related matter.

If I could cultivate a swarm of Tyranids that could devour Chaos Demons and Chaos Space Marines, I would be able to use it to deal with Chaos invasions or eliminate Chaos pollution in the future.

There will also be greater help.

The great demon-eater, the four-armed savior, there's nothing wrong with raising a group of insects that can devour chaos, right?

The insect-like clone customized for him by the great biological sage Moss has been idle for a long time. It is just right to use Leviathan's genes to make the clone a true swarm intelligence.

This is to control the breeding and farming of Tyranid insects.

The only problem now is how to win this war and capture Leviathan alive.

Of course, even if we can't capture it alive, it doesn't matter, as long as we can obtain Leviathan's core gene sequence.

Ron thought of something and showed a trace of worry:
"Behind these hive fleets, there are even more terrifying existences. I don't know what the situation will be like then..."

In his memories of his previous life, the extremely terrifying Great Devourer was already on his way to the Milky Way.

The Great Devourer is set to be almost invincible, and all races have difficulty resisting it. It is very likely to become an existence that completely devours and destroys the galaxy.

"Never mind, let's take it one step at a time!" He didn't continue to worry.

The threat of the Great Devourer is too far away, not as scary as the Chaos and Aliens that are right in front of us.

not to mention.

As long as you develop fast enough, it is not certain who will eat whom in the end.

After all, more than fifty years ago, he was so frightened by the arrival of a Tyranid tentacle fleet that he couldn't sleep or eat.

Even so, he enjoyed the insect meat so much and was planning to capture Leviathan alive.

Who could have predicted this?

So, we can be appropriately vigilant about threats, but we cannot throw the baby out with the bathwater.

Concentrating on farming and development is the solution to all problems.

Ron focused his attention on a research report related to Terran. He filed the research report and the list of merchants and sent them to the system of the Ministry of Commerce.

Afterwards, he turned his attention to the defense situation in the Bal war zone.

Yesterday, Leviathan's reconnaissance unit infiltrated into the central area. Relevant defense areas must be more vigilant to avoid any unexpected disaster.

……

In the corridor outside the Savior's office.

"Your Majesty, this trip is worth it..."

Joel, a small trader from the Hawke galaxy, wiped the sweat from his head and smiled like a chrysanthemum on his slightly fat face.

He had done business with the Savior's Territory before, and after learning about the great Savior's deeds and ideas, he had great respect for that existence.

After receiving the news from the Commerce Department of the Savior's Territory, this small merchant ignored the advice of his family members and invested most of his fortune without hesitation.

He loaded his two broken ships with supplies and rushed to Bal without stopping.

He had only one idea.

You will never go wrong by following the great savior!

When Yoel arrived in Barr, he became more convinced of this idea.

The Saviors built the fortress at an extremely fast speed, and even though it was now during the war, the central area in the rear still maintained a stable order.

He was well aware of the importance of a stable rear area.

Even in the middle of the night, there are a large number of people doing their own things.

Material warehouses, maintenance bases, logistics transport teams, hospitals and even temporary state churches are all in operation.

If it weren't for the dark swarms of insects in the sky, the constant roar of artillery fire, and the occasional gunshots from all over the streets, Joel would even wonder if he was in a war zone.

This place is already safer and more lively than many planets he has visited!
"Sir Joel, what is the Galaxy Business Center that the Savior mentioned?"

Next to him, another imperial merchant asked, somewhat puzzled.

Just now, these businessmen had the honor of meeting the great and merciful savior and received praise from that being.

The being was in a good mood and promised to reserve a storefront space for them in the Galaxy Commercial Center in the future.

The merchants didn't know what the Galaxy Business Center was, but they didn't dare to ask.

Joel thought about it but had no clue. He shook his head and said, "I don't really understand. It should be a new trade starport. The things promised by the savior must be of astonishing value..."

No matter how you look at it, that's a nice fortune.

You can tell from the name.

Actually.

These businessmen did not yet know what astonishing wealth they were about to possess, which the savior had promised them on a whim.

The storefront of the Galaxy Commercial Center promised by the Savior is located within the cyberway. It will become the core place connecting all regions of the Galaxy, and its value is immeasurable!
That was a terrifying wealth that would make even the high-ranking nobles of Holy Terra drool with envy.

If possible, they would even be willing to exchange the most prosperous planetary territory under their command for that permanent storefront location.

Just as Joel was about to say something else, something strange happened.

boom--

There was a loud explosion accompanied by a violent tremor. The merchants in the corridor were caught off guard and fell to the ground.

The next moment, a sharp alarm sounded.

That alarm means that a key defense area has been breached by the insect swarm...
