Warhammer, but Emperor's Chosen

There is no doubt that Macragge is one of the most prestigious planets in the civilized world. This is because Macragge is not only the home planet of the Ultramarines and Primarch Roboute Guilliman, but also the first planet of the Second Empire.

boom!

The loud sound of the door opening scared Noah so much that he turned around and saw a ferocious one-eyed big man walking into the conference room. He was wearing a fine power armor with gorgeous decorations, and his hands were a pair of huge power fists with bolters hanging below. Behind him were several members of the Ultramarines Honor Guard.

At this moment, the big guy was walking straight towards Noah with his honor guard!

"Oh no, he didn't hear anything, did he? I've never heard that Calgar can read minds!"

Noah's heart suddenly skipped a beat. People usually feel guilty when they are feeling guilty.

But Noah remained calm and looked up at the man in front of him.

Calgar brought his honor guard, but Noah's guard was not with him.

Nono was still performing maintenance on the Stars, while Ajetta and Cassia were asked by Noah to take a walk in the star port to familiarize themselves with the environment.

Marius Calgar looked at the mortal in the luxurious robes in front of him and said solemnly:

"Master von Valancius, no matter what the outcome, thank you for everything you have done for the Ultramarines!"

"Ok?"

Noah looked surprised. They had just arrived at the Heroku Starport not long ago. This was their first official meeting. They had not communicated before, and he had not told the Ultramarines about the Zerg. As a result, Calgar ran over to thank him.

This can only prove one thing -

Some bastard sneaked away and told Calgar about the chicken thieves and the Zerg in advance!

Besides Huron, is there anyone else who could do such a thing behind the backs of his allies? !

The Lamenters are honest people, and the Mantis Warriors don't have any first-hand information. Only the Astral Claws have had direct contact with the chicken thieves and successfully hunted down a considerable number of them, so they have a considerable amount of first-hand information!

"As expected of you!"

Noah glanced at Huron on his right, who also did not hide his behavior, with a smiling expression that seemed to say:

"no need to thank me."

"Thank you, sister!"

Noah complained in his heart, but he didn't really bring the matter to the table.

Huron was undoubtedly an extremely ambitious man, and it is not surprising that he would do such a thing.

But fortunately, Noah never told Huron anything. Apart from being a cunning person, he did not reveal anything about the Zerg.

After greeting Noah, Calgar turned to the other three chapter leaders and apologized:

"Sorry, everyone. Time is tight. I will leave the pleasantries until the end of the meeting. I will personally host a banquet to entertain you then!"

"It should."

Huron replied seriously, taking his seat.

He sat on the right side of the conference table with Chapter Master Sarthak of the Mantis Warriors, and Chapter Master of the Weepers on the left.

Naturally, Noah also sat next to Foros, the captain of the Weepers.

As for the main seat, it will of course be reserved for Calga as the host.

However, Calga obviously didn't think so. He sat down next to Noah and stared at him.

Thankfully, at least his eyes are fine now.

"?"

Noah slowly typed a question mark.

Huron seemed to have expected this and spoke immediately:

"Noah, no one here knows those aliens better than you, and no one is more suitable to host this meeting than you. I think others think so too."

"I agree." Karga nodded slightly.

"I agree too." Foros gave Noah an encouraging look.

"I have no objection." Sartak also spoke.

Now that things have come to this, Noah no longer refuses - although he never wanted to refuse in the first place, he was just making a gesture.

joke.

If this meeting is not chaired by him, do you think it can be held?

Noah stood up and said his first words after careful consideration:

"If possible, I hope that the captains and even the non-commissioned officers of each regiment will attend this meeting."

After a pause, Noah added:

"This is very important for the upcoming war!"

"I agree." Huron immediately said seriously, "I have seen the horror of these aliens. Every battle brother should understand their danger!"

Of course, Karga had no objection. The reason why he didn't allow others to come was out of respect for the people present.

These four people came all the way to support, and they were either warband leaders or wandering traders of the same level. The meeting had only a few of them to show respect for them. But from a practical point of view, the more people who participated, the better.

The more people understand the dangers of these aliens, the less damage will be suffered when war comes.

Soon, a large number of Space Marines wearing power armor with different paint schemes rushed over upon hearing the news.

Although this conference room was originally prepared for large-scale meetings, it was now overcrowded with the influx of hundreds of Space Marines. Many NCOs and petty officers could only stand against the wall, and only the company commanders were qualified to take a seat.

If someone threw a bomb in here at this moment, it would probably kill a large number of Space Marine officers.

But even in such a crowded environment, these Space Marines had no complaints at all.

Looking at the hundreds of space warriors of all kinds in the conference room, Noah spoke seriously:

"I think some of you already know about the existence of Genestealers, but in order to systematically understand the Zerg, this new alien enemy, I will start from the beginning.

"first--"

Chapter 20 Disclaimer: We are not responsible for the following content!

"First of all - I must remind you that the Zerg are different from any alien enemies we have encountered before! Whether it is the Greenskins or the Eldar, at least they are native creatures of the Milky Way, but the Zerg, they come from outside the Milky Way!

"The real name of the Zerg race cannot be verified, but since the first planet that lost contact was Tyranid, I will call it the Tyranid Zerg."

The Space Marines looked solemn. If the Zerg were really an enemy from outside the Milky Way, then this would definitely be the first time in the history of the Human Empire!

They were all looking forward to Noah's next words, but Noah paused, his tone somewhat helpless:

"Of course, I believe many people are curious about the source of my information, but this may lead to me being brought to the Inquisition..."

Calgar immediately understood Noah's subtext. He needed a guarantee to ensure that he would not be arrested by the Tribunal afterwards!

"I swear on the honor of the Ultramarines and the name of Gene-Father Robert Guilliman that I will never reveal what happened here to anyone!"

Calgar's expression was serious, and his words represented all members of the Extreme Warriors!

Naturally, the three Hurons would not pretend to be reserved and swore an oath on the honor of the chapter.

But in reality, Noah was just pretending.

If he was truly afraid of being arrested by the Inquisition, he would not have traveled across the galaxy to find the Ultramarines.

But he has to act completely. If he really acts like he has no taboos, he won't be able to win their trust.

Noah, who had received assurances from the four regiment leaders, did not hide anything and directly gave the excuse he had prepared:

"My intelligence comes from a species of aliens called the Half-Dragon, a strange half-human, half-horse creature. At the end of M38, their fleet once attempted to enter the Empire from the eastern border of the galaxy.

"Although their fleet was completely destroyed by the Empire in 226.M39, a small number of half-dragons still survived. My predecessor, Theodora von Valancius, once came into contact with a half-dragon tribe on a wild planet.

"The Tyranids are different from other creatures. They are a Gestalt-thinking creature, controlled by a hive mind called the 'Hive Mind'.

"Therefore, the vast majority of Tyranids do not have the ability to think independently. They are just tools used by the Hive Mind to invade other worlds.

“As the vanguard of the Tyranids, the Genestealers and the Half-Dragon are one of the few Zerg branches with extremely high intelligence.

"If Genestealers are compared to spies trained by the Hive Mind, then the Half-Dragon is the diplomat of the Zerg. But for some unknown reason, perhaps because they are too far away from the Hive Mind, the Half-Dragon accidentally escaped the control of the Hive Mind."

After a pause, Noah added:

"Of course, all the information I obtained came from the family's database, and all of this information was told orally by half-dragons. So there may be some errors or even traps."

Noah first put the blame on his predecessor Theodora and gave a disclaimer.

The Space Marines nodded in agreement. Whether they believed it or not was another matter. At least on the surface they believed it.

"In addition to vanguards such as Genestealers and Half-Dragon, the main force of the Zerg is the Hive Fleet, and each Hive Fleet is composed of a large number of Zerg living ships, and the number of ground troops carried is countless."

A helmetless Marine raised his hand.

A fast-moving servoskull finds him and calls out his name:

"Demetrian Titus, Sergeant of the Second Company of the Ultramarines."

"Go ahead, Sergeant Titus."

Titus asked bluntly:

"What is their purpose? Conquest or plunder?"

"neither."

Noah dismissed his view and asked a seemingly unrelated question:

"Sergeant Titus, are you hungry?"

"I'm not hungry."

Although he felt puzzled, Titus still answered.

"I'm not hungry either, at least not now, but I guarantee that someone must be very hungry right now."

"Is it the instinct of hunger that drives them?" asked Calgar.

"Yes."

Noah's expression was extremely serious. "Their purpose has been very 'pure' from the beginning to the end, which is to devour everything they know to satisfy their insatiable hunger!"

"If the Zerg are from outside the Milky Way, how do they travel faster than light?"

Another Space Marine asked.

The Servo Skull called out his name:

"Captain of the Ultramarines First Company, Thor the Indomitable."

"There is a special Zerg biological ship in the Hive Fleet called the Narwhal Ship. This biological ship can somehow use the gravity of the galaxy to create a compressed space 'corridor'. Through this corridor, the Zerg ship can quickly move to the galaxy.

"But the strong gravitational force will also interfere with the keen senses of the narwhal ships. Once they are about to reach the star system, the hive fleet must rely on slower traditional propulsion methods."

"Any question?"

Noah asked, and after confirming that no one had asked any more questions, he continued to explain:

"The Tyranid invasion patterns are relatively fixed and can usually be divided into five separate phases:

“Discover, approach, attack, conquer and devour.

“Phase one, discovery.

"It will be done by the Zerg vanguards I mentioned before, the Genestealers and Half-Dragons. They will find ways to infiltrate every valuable planet in the galaxy. When their numbers are large enough, they will send out strong psychic beacons to attract the arrival of the Zerg Hive Fleet.

“Phase two, approach.

"When the Hive Fleet arrives, there will be a psychic disturbance that the half-dragons call 'warp shadow'. This will make astropathic communication impossible, cover the light of the Astronomican, and make warp navigation extremely unpredictable."

Karga's face was gloomy. So that's why those 'lost contact' planets failed to send out warning and distress signals?

“Phase three, attack.

"Once the Hive Fleet successfully enters the planet's orbit, the ships will disperse and release a large number of spores and airborne fungus cysts in the planet's upper atmosphere. These spores will release a large number of viruses and bacteria, changing the planet's environment. The airborne fungus cysts are similar to the airdrop pods used by Space Marines, which can transport hundreds of millions of Zerg ground creatures to the surface of the planet.

“The fourth stage, conquest.

"With hundreds of millions of Zerg ground units, the Tyranids can quickly wipe out any resistance on the ground, no matter who their target is.

“The fifth stage, devouring.

"When the resistance on the planet's surface is completely destroyed, the Zerg will begin to put everything on the planet, including the Zerg units sent to the ground, into the digestion pool, turning everything of value on the planet into a sticky, nutrient-rich liquid - the half-dragons call it 'biomass'.
