Chapter 354: Zerg Advance Team
++ Think of the day: Belief in the Owner of Nothing. ++
"As a commissar of the Guard, the way to unite your subordinates as quickly as possible is to make them hate you." Eric. Tang En explained his job to Su Jing like this, "But considering that the political commissar must take the lead in the battle, and have to lie in a trench with hundreds of soldiers with laser guns, whether it is annoying in ordinary times is a matter of life." ”
"So the death rate of the commissar is always very high, ha Yarrow. The skullcapper walked to the left of the line and took over the conversation. The stout Space Marine spoke like thunder, and it hurt people's ears.
"But in some armies, I think the presence of commissars is basically ...... Of little consequence. Let's say, for example, the Krieg Death Legion, where I stayed for six years. The dark-haired commissar picked up the kettle and took a sip, "I've always heard that Krieger's soldiers are a bunch of crazy people when I was in the Academy, and when I was transferred there, I realized that this sentence was not enough to describe them. ”
Five hundred years ago, the Kriegs had launched a rebellion against the Empire, which was quickly suppressed. The counterinsurgency army bombarded the entire surface of the planet with nuclear weapons, turning the planet Krieg into a world of death that is difficult for humans to live in.
Due to the sins of heresy committed by the rebellious ancestors, dozens of generations of people on the planet Krieg have been fighting for atonement. Krieg has the highest percentage of conscripts of all the planets recruited by the Imperial Guard, and the people of this planet inhabit the nest city and underground, and have developed a gloomy and resolute character in the dust of nuclear radiation, and are the premier trench warfare experts in the Imperial Guard.
"And that rumor is true." Don took a cigarette out of his pocket and lit it, "When I was in the Eighty-eighth Army. Bottom Soldier ...... There really are no names, only officers have names. Big-headed soldiers are only numbered. They are indeed the product of genetic engineering. Machines of war. ”
"They don't need commissars, I've never seen them timid. Even if there is a fire blockade of logging guns in front. They also did not hesitate to assault in a skirmish line. As soon as the order is given, they absolutely carry it out...... In those six years, I felt that I had not accomplished anything, but that they had made a psychological shadow. ”
"So you're being sent to work in the Inquisition?" The white-skinned and dark-haired Raven guard walked on the right side of the line with a hot melt gun. Two of the best Space Marines, one on the left and one on the right, walk on either side of the team to minimize the damage caused by enemy raids.
"No, that's another story. It's about a boss who doesn't answer very well, and a chance gaffe. The commissar shrugged his shoulders.
"I've heard that you scolded the planet's top defense chief to your face, and if you weren't the first graduate of the Loyal Heir Academy that year, you would have the retired headmaster as your backer. It is estimated that he was arrested and shot by the gendarmerie on the spot. "The sniper walks in the middle of the line with a heavy laser sniper rifle on his back.
"I just did what a Guard Commissar should do, but unfortunately I didn't succeed in executing him." Don said regretfully, "There were too many guards around him at that time, and I was not sure that he would succeed in the assassination." If I succeed in seizing power, maybe that planet will last a few more years in the hands of the cultists, and even counterattack their headquarters......"
The planet mentioned by the black-haired commissar has become a veritable hell after falling into the hands of cultists, and a large number of blood rituals have summoned a true subspace demon horde. The political commissar escaped by being escorted to another planet because of serious disciplinary violations. At the time he was court-martialed. A powerful inquisitor signed the extinction order for the planet.
A fleet of Imperial Navy fleets arrived in the planet's synchronous orbit and bulldozed the entire planet's surface. Orbital bombardment turned the planet into glass marbles in space, burning all the cultists, Chaos demons, and the remaining inhabitants (in small numbers) to ashes.
During the arraignment, the inquisitor noticed the young commissar of the Guard, Eric. Dawn. After harsh interrogation. The inquisitor pardoned the good soldier. After that, Don began to work for the big names of the Inquisition.
Due to Tang En's knowledge of the power of chaos (of course, he was extremely cautious and careful) and his attainments in the state religion and clerical affairs, as well as his considerable swordsmanship. Over the course of several years, he made many meritorious contributions. Moreover, traces of the Chaos invasion were first found on a nest planet. Work with temporary troops to nip that pollution incident in the bud.
The crowd walked in a barren mountain forest. Here is another planet in the same star system as the planet Transylvania, known as the Savage Realm of Polishfani. It is about 1,300 light-seconds away from the central star.
Thanks to the planetary transformation project of the Golden Age tens of thousands of years ago, this planet is extremely rich in natural resources, covered with mountains and forests, and is a very famous tourist attraction in this galaxy, as well as a production planet of some pure natural luxuries. From another point of view, it is also the best food ground for the Tyranids.
The Jörmangander Hive Fleet is a small branch off from the terrifying Leviathan Hive Fleet, and the Empire's civilians seem to have a deep obsession with naming the Zerg fleet after the name of the epic Behemoth. Along the way, the Jörmangande Hive has devoured more than twenty planets and crushed a narrow naval fleet.
According to the observation report on the whole process of a planet's fall to the Zerg, the Zerg's amazing predatory ability has been intuitively reflected. "Darch" is an agricultural planet with a diameter slightly smaller than the Earth, from the day when a sporangia was first recorded to fall into the atmosphere, on the fiftieth day, the swarm fleet tore through the subspace and jumped to the outer layer of the planet, and according to statistics, more than 1460 million Tyranid Zerg surrounded the planet's orbit.
By the eightieth day, the hive fleet had already sucked the planet clean through the capillary towers that dotted the planet's surface. According to the calculations, the plundered resources of Planet Darch are:
1.55 billion cubic kilometers of water.
8.67 billion cubic kilometers of gas.
72 trillion cubic kilometers of soil and minerals.
The diameter of the planet decreased by 4.2%.
From the fertile Agrarian Realm to the barren stones, this not very strong hive fleet took only thirty days. And when the mighty Leviathan Hive fleet attacked the famous Griffin IV, it took only a few days to destroy one of the galaxy's oldest foundry realms. On this planet covered in metal. It's not just an entire warband of Space Marines, but also a staggering number of Titans and the Mechanicus Cult's cathars. The mechanical priests were at the back of the pack. The firepower took a heavy toll on the Tyranids, and the demonic Titans made their way through the sporangia that rained down like a torrential rain. Each blow took away countless lives. The black blood of the alien creatures smeared the temples and factories...... But in the end, everything fell silent in front of the turbulent and endless sea of worms.
"According to battlefield records, the Yormangander hive has shown an unusually cunning tactical mind. Most obviously, it doesn't seem to use the typical large-scale Bug Sea tactics of the Tyranids, but instead has a clear preference for infiltration. On the fallen planet, it is only after the forward force has completely disabled the local military force that its main fleet jumps over. ”
The judge introduced.
"In the battles of the vanguard forces of Jörmangund, they made extensive use of roundabout, stealth tactics, most notably by setting up hatching nests beneath the wasteland. The one that used a large number of specialized drillers to dig through the entire nest from the ground, and then used a large number of gene stealers to slowly infiltrate from the bottom up. By the time the Planetary Governor realized something was wrong, the hive city beneath his feet had become a Zerg lair, and the brainwashed Gene Stealer Cult had taken control of most of the planet's defense forces, and he fled in a shuttle before they stormed the Governor's mansion. Before he was executed, he provided enough useful information......"
"The opinion of the General Staff is that this tactic was adopted partly because the hives themselves were not strong enough, and partly because they had a rather cunning and cautious commander. Considering the capabilities that this hive has shown in terms of tactics and evolutionary special bugs. We believe that allowing them to continue to exist is a major threat to the Empire. ”
At that moment, an elegant fur-bearing animal appeared on the mountain in front of it, resembling a tiger or lion on the earth. The languid creature had grass-green markings on its body. After glancing at the crowd, he trotted away.
“…… Is this a good sign? As we all know, there will never be any wild animals left behind where the Zerg pass......" Space Wolf's Space Marines scratched their bare scalps.
"Maybe this shows the cunning of this Zerg." The officers of the Storm Force expressed a different opinion, "This is the only area on the satellite cloud map that has shown unusual decay in the mountains and forests. In my opinion. This is already very doubtful. ”
"That's not right." The Inquisitor said suddenly, the edges of her two tearing claws clenched nervously. "It doesn't smell right."
"And the little tiger has four eyes, and a cluster of hidden tentacles under its belly - I have some clairvoyance. Or is this what the planet's wildlife is? Su Jing added gently.
"Chase!"
This time. Su Jing was still in the mood to use the character card to contact Lu Mengyao, who was dozens of light years away.
"Hello? Mr. Lu, how are you having a good time over there? Did you find any interesting souvenirs? ”
[Hmph...... The commonplace ordinary plot unfolds. In short, the Pope here has been killed and replaced by the Emissary of Chaos. We're tearing faces with him, fighting thousands of medieval cult armies while searching for the wizards...... It's a fun trip. What about you? 】
"It's ok. Met a bunch of interesting people, and now ...... Well, it's time to farm copies. ”
Su Jing's feet were empty, and he fell into a bottomless crypt like everyone before. The pit seems to have been laid out long ago, just waiting for them to arrive. At the bottom of the crypt, countless claws and fangs await them.
"I'm coming!" Su Jing flipped his body lightly in mid-air, popped out his claws, and leaped towards the dense swarm. (To be continued......)
PS: Running around the hospital all day today, last night my friends went out to drink, one beat each other up (I woke up in the morning and didn't remember anything except the wound), and the other fell from the fourth floor to the lawn through the wrong window...... I've been waiting for a CT scan in the radiology department all day today...... Ah, it's so tiring to queue up. Moreover, the water supply in the whole building was cut off for two days on the weekend, and the smell of feces and urine spread everywhere...... It's miserable......
