Chapter 212: Extermination Order

As the Phalanx began to prepare for the orbital bombardment of the Holy Land of Terra, Ron had nothing to do, so he stayed on the Phalanx and looked at the Holy Land of Terra below.

The Holy Land of Terra today is no longer what we thought Earth looked like. There is not a single ray of blue. Apart from the shocking, transformed steel land and the towering churches, what comes into view is... vegetation? There is no such thing. If people have no place to live, how can there be a place for plants to survive?

Standing behind Ron, he also looked down at the Holy Land of Terra. In fact, even now, the commander of the Imperial Fists was still not sure whether what he did was right or wrong... After all, he issued an extermination order against the Holy Land of Terra.

You know, there is no such thing as a regional extermination order. Because the extermination order is a thorough judgment of the entire world by the Holy Land Terra. Regional extermination order? Then it can be launched by the ruler of the world itself.

But considering that the place where the extermination order was executed was the holy land of Terra, then the emergence of a "regional extermination order" seems to be understandable... Although it is regional, if you really want to count it, its impact level is far greater than those extermination orders targeting the entire planet.

This is also what the commander of the Imperial Fists is worried about - the bad influence of this is immeasurable.

You know, after the end of the Apostasy Era, Sebastian Thor refused to become the new Pope. The reason why the High Lords were angry and fearful was because Sebastian's reputation in the Empire was too high. If he didn't become the Pope, no one would dare to become the Pope. This would inevitably lead to the birth of a religious regime independent of the High Lords' Council...

If this is true, then the harm it will cause is no less than that of Vander. Because Vander also rose to power through the political game between the Ministry of the Interior and the State Church. Although notorious, he can correct the chaos through internal means. If Sebastian always refuses to become the Pope, then after Sebastian's death, it is very likely that a religious group will emerge in the State Church that can directly oppose the entire imperial government.

And now, Ron has ordered a regional extermination order against the Holy Land of Terra. With Ron's previous experience, it is hard to say whether future imperial rulers will have similar ideas.

In this regard, Ron could more or less feel the worries coming from behind. Apart from the current bombing, there were also doubts about his own identity, whether he was a loyalist or a rebel... Ron himself didn't care, and even said that he understood it very well.

Because the Apostasy Era in the 36th Millennium was the most special era in the history of the Imperium of Man. It was not because of the invasion of Chaos, but because of the greed of mankind itself, which led to the Empire's numerous mistakes. The series of impacts it produced were even greater than the Horus Heresy, and directly led to the Emperor having to change his strategy and begin to control the direction of the Imperium through the belief in the Deification.

For example, a considerable number of Space Marines doubted the legitimacy of his identity, but Ron did not take it to heart. To be fair, the sons of the Emperor could personally initiate a rebellion, and he had no record before, like a guy who jumped out of a stone. If they believed him directly, Ron would not say anything else, and Tzeentch would probably laugh out loud.

Lao Wu, this is not good. It's okay to be obsessed with the two-dimensional villains, but after all this time, he is still obsessed with the children's supply...

Zi Gong was furious!
But Roan was not in a hurry, because the Emperor's Wrath Warp Storm would not last too long, and once the cleansing of Fandel's stubborn fleets in Terra and other star fields was completed, the Emperor would have more time to deal with other matters of the Empire.

But then again, after being on the Golden Throne for so long, the Emperor must have accumulated enough energy. He just casually caused such a large warp storm... It seems that he still has some energy left? Well, although the Emperor's group system account in the Ministry of Internal Affairs has been frozen, it seems that the Emperor has benefited a lot from it now. Sweeping the entire galaxy, if I remember correctly, the last time such a large-scale warp storm occurred during the Dark Technology Age of Humanity...

That storm also brought the Golden Age of Humanity to an end, and many planets lost contact with Terra, the holy home of humanity. The impact still affects every aspect of the empire today.

Although the current Emperor was unable to directly destroy the connection between millions of worlds of the Empire like the original Warp storm, the scale of the storm he caused was enough to match its impact on humanity.

As he thought about it, the orbital bombardment began.

First, the Phalanx approached Terra's low-Earth orbit. This was extremely shocking. Almost at the moment of approaching, facing the sun's rays, the Holy Land of Terra became dark because of the shadow of the Phalanx.

Although it sounds like a relatively important large warship, in fact, the Phalanx was not made by the Empire, but was a product of the Dark Ages technology before the birth of the Human Empire. Its manufacturer and purpose have become the dust of history and cannot be verified. Before being discovered by the Primarch of the Imperial Fists, Rogal Dorn, the Phalanx stayed near the ice world of Inwit.

Rogal Dorn then restored the Phalanx to a certain extent. It was so huge that it was even bigger than the moon. Its firepower and the fleet it could carry were astronomical figures that made Lin Runge dumbfounded. However, with the passage of time, the Phalanx was now very fragile. In order to protect the ancient relic engine that was almost impossible to replicate, the Phalanx was even forbidden to move at full speed unless it was necessary to fight an emergency.

Well, there are also a large number of Mechanicus clergy who forbid anyone to repair the Phalanx, believing that it will destroy the original structure of the Phalanx and even displease the Machine Soul.

As far as I can remember, the restoration of the Phalanx was officially ordered only after Guilliman took over as Regent. At that time, the Custodians also realized that it was not feasible to simply serve the Emperor without serving the Empire, and then they opened the dark dungeon under the Terra Palace - the Emperor's former experimental center, the birthplace of twenty Primarchs, and the sealed place of many products of the Dark Age of Technology.

It is through these technologies that the Phalanx has gradually recovered. It will surely appear in the expeditionary fleet soon and launch a barrage of barrages in the most dazzling way...

Well, now you can also see the barrage salvo.

With rounds of orbital projection of earth-penetrating missiles, the areas that had been marked out suffered devastating blows in an instant. The high-yield missiles were projected from low-Earth orbit, and the moment they landed on the ground, the warhead's drilling machine began to operate, sending the missiles as deep into the earth's crust as possible. With one after another dull roar that made people's eardrums uncomfortable, it didn't take long for the terrain of the designated area to be destroyed on a large scale.

Then came the extinction virus missile launch. This special virus missile could corrode and destroy all organic matter on an entire planet in a short period of time, leaving only minerals and other inorganic matter in the entire world. Now, after adjusting the concentration and controlling the launch area, the dense poisonous fog will soon kill all life in the divided area. After the battlefield cleanup personnel wearing respirators completed the inspection, the Phalanx soon moved the muzzle to launch a new round of bombing on other areas.
