In the Zerg War, the changes in the dark world are also worthy of our attention.

Among all the abandoned areas of space, there is a name worth remembering: "Tesla Nine". This is a weapons field that was once in the hands of the Holy See's Mechanical Research Department. After the Inspector initiated the Destruction Project, the militant creatures of darkness entered the desolate space before the xenomorph swarm. The occupiers from the darkness were delighted to discover that they had captured an arsenal full of extremely destructive and unstable weapons (some of which had not yet been fully detonated). Such a harvest is very rare in the war between the dark creatures and us. So, these dark creatures can't wait to "test" their new toys. The huge pillar of fire that soared into the sky produced extremely large energy fluctuations that could be observed even in the Overworld.

When the Fenrir hive forces landed in the space, the dark creatures were given more of what they craved. They dug into the ground and found two hidden weapons warehouses. And just like that, the frantic war between the Tyranids and the creatures of darkness began.

That's not the point of the matter. The war between the two evil forces is known to a psychic cleric who is still loyal to the Supreme Inspector Keltam. Moreover, this war consumed a lot of the strength of the two imperial invasion groups, and even the adjacent agricultural space "Ritat 11" was involved. In this spatial realm that once possessed the Golden Plains, two races, the Dark Creatures and the Tyranids, have launched a grand battle. The clergy carefully observed the war itself in an extremely secret way, without the warring parties being aware. Because of this discovery, combined with the experience learned from the previous fight against the swarm "Fenrir" troops, it added a winning chip to the scales of Keltam.

Of course, there are also some people who are in the ring of vigilance and are unwilling to give up the spatial world they inhabit. Those who have the ability to ignore the orders of the Ombudsman, although the Holy See Mechanical Research Department reluctantly abandoned the "Tesla Nine", but they decided to defend to the death the other space after the retreat, which is the "Grelinde Four". This is one of the few foundry spaces in all of the Empire's space realms that has the oldest doctrine capable of producing heavy chariots. The roar of mechanical activity is everywhere, firmly protected by a metal casing. It is also one of the areas where the legendary Imperial "Titans" are highly stationed. The "Ultra Warriors", "Iron Warriors", "White Brand" and many other main legions have their own combat teams here. In addition to those brave and elite legionnaires, the "Gray Linde IV" also has a Guardian Mechanical War Group affiliated to the Holy See, as well as a scientific and technical scientist created by the Holy See's mechanical research department, which used to be only a variety of war planes in legends.

It is no exaggeration to say that "Greinde IV" is a full-fledged fortress of war. This space world, which is almost made of metal, has more unique defensive conditions than other space fields when it comes to resisting the attack of the Tyranid swarm "Fenrir" troops. As a result, these fanatical believers who are obsessed with mechanical research, with their unique, extremely cold and efficient efficiency, are alone in the abandoned space, silently preparing for their own war.

When the sporangia of the invaders rained down on the metal surface of the "Grelinder IV" space, an epic battle began. The garrison of the main army of the whole regiment arrived at the battlefield with their sophisticated equipment and neat steps. Many of the alien swarms didn't even have time to crawl out of their sporangia before they were wiped out by the precision rage of fire. As more sporangia whistled from the air and flew to the ground, the heavy equipment of the combat team belonging to the "Iron Warriors" legion also woke up with a roar. For those ferocious and cruel invaders, this is undoubtedly the death knell. The ground and buildings made of metal were painted a thick black with the blood of the invaders under the fierce battle. After a few hours, the ground began to shake wildly. The Titans, known as the "Machines of the Gods", left the Abbey hangar and joined the battle with the steps of their death. These powerful warplanes are like giant spiders foraging for food. They hobbled through the intricate metal structures, wielding their god-like powers into battle. But every time a Titan mech uses their firepower to wipe out a swath of opponents, an unfortunate Titan is struck to shreds by massive xenomorphs with their razor-sharp claws and the acidic bodily fluids they spew. The footsteps of the giants shook the sky on the battlefield, and finally fell silent, and the battle between the Holy See mechanical monks and the invaders continued in the struggle for every inch of land.

Although the mechanical monks have an iron determination and will, and are not afraid of death. Although their firepower took a terrible toll on the invaders. However, it was still unable to withstand the frenzied attack of the Tyranid swarm. The powerful "Titan" mechs of the "Iron Warriors" wargroup were finally defeated one after another. Until the last Titans crashed to the ground, until there was nothing left to defend the Forge World they were born from...... The defense and desperate struggle lasted only a few days, and the great casting world "Grelin IV" was completely silent. The Fenrir hive troops, on the other hand, continue to move forward across this space, frantically searching for their next prey, stimulated by a hunger appetite that can never be satisfied.

Although Keltam had been abandoned from the Supreme Court, he was excommunicated by the Holy See. However, Keltam still can't forget about it, and he can't abandon the space worlds that have been ravaged by the claws of the Tyranid Swarm troops. The previous battle, as well as his troops stationed in the Tyrese space, had caught a live bug and given him a hint: Keltam had discovered that there was a way to slow down, and even stop, the hive troops, Fenrir, without having to pay thousands of lives as before.

Keltam and a small group of Deathwatch warriors who remained loyal to him went deeper again, into the hive force's line of attack. This time it's not about fighting, it's not about organizing defenses for some space. Keltam had clearly realized that the scale of the hive force was extremely large, and after devouring each space, it had become more than the initial number. Humans no longer have the ability to stop these alien creatures, and even if all the armies of the entire empire are committed, they will not be able to stop the insects from devouring and advancing.

The Special Strike Team infiltrated the "Capacles" space, a labyrinthine space. This has been abandoned by the new Inquisitor who later succeeded Keltam. Keltam and his followers prepare to carry out one of the most dangerous missions ever: capture a gene stealer alive with a static force field and bring it back to the ground control center intact. Keltam and his team have done it after countless simulations and the lives of several of Death Watch's greatest heroes.

Keltam was covered in scars and dust, and there was no expression on his face. He and the remnants of his retinue left "Capacles" and returned to the hidden base of the Overworld with the deadly "guest" he had just captured.

A week later, a scrapped heavy cargo airship left the Overworld and flew directly towards the location of the hive troops from the spatial passage left by the swarm in the "Caplacs" space field. Keltam's death squad locked the captured Gene Stealer in the airship or the deepest part of its hideout, then unleashed the force field from a safe distance. Using the airship's teleportation array, they teleported megatons of high-explosive into the core of a recently abandoned space. The huge explosion not only shattered the entire space, causing a strong spatial shock, but also caused the airship to go deep into another space occupied by dark creatures with a shock wave. This dark space is a stinger in the war zone of the Human Empire, and has an important strategic value no less than that of "Grelinder IV".

It wasn't long before the dark creatures spotted the uninvited guest entering their territory. After landing on the wreckage of the airship, they found that the entire transport bay was full of terrifying alien creatures. The dark creatures know far less about the Tyranid swarm than we do. They consider it to be extremely valuable, and can even be modulated with their own genes to produce a new type of fighting dark creature. With this in mind, the dark creatures returned to their main realm of space with these special cargoes. It's huge, and it's full of life. The resurrected Gene Stealer began to infect the city of dark creatures at a rapid rate, and began to multiply. Although the bugs were eventually wiped out by the dark creatures, the Gene Stealer still managed to gain enough strength to send a spiritual signal to the hive troops' vanguards. Tell them: Come to this new food field with countless lives, and leave the empty space realm that has been destroyed by the human empire.

Thus, the Zerg War took a decisive turn.

The Supreme Commander of the Empire finally got the good news: the attack route of the unstoppable bugs had changed, and the hive forces had begun to move away from the Empire's space and attack towards the area of space ruled by the dark creatures. At that time, there was no one in the Imperial Military Headquarters and the Holy See who could explain why the Bugs' attack route changed suddenly? However, it did give us a respite, and it also allowed the Imperial forces that had been continuously damaged in the previous battles to avoid the fate of being completely wiped out, and even gave us an extremely valuable opportunity to reorganize, repair, and refurbish all kinds of severely damaged weapons of war.

The war between the Dark World and the invading bugs is closely monitored by a commando team that secretly lurks in the Dark World. So far, the battle shows no signs of stopping. Due to the scarcity of the number of surveillance, we can only get some general and vague information. Despite this, we can still confirm that the Dark World suffered heavy losses in this "substitution" war, and even killed more than a dozen Grand Dukes.

Only a handful of high-ranking Inquisitors understand the true reason for surviving the threat of the Xenomorph Swarm. Although Keltam's plan cost the Empire of Humanity dearly, now, the bugs and dark creatures are trying to destroy each other. Both of them are races that exist for the sake of war. The situation is still not optimistic, and the hive forces may absorb a large number of nutrient-rich foundations in the dark world to make themselves stronger. The possibility of a larger-scale invasion of hive forces still exists. In fact, in the distant frontiers of space, there have been reports of these aggressive creatures being observed and forming another force of unprecedented proportions. All the signs make people feel unusually afraid of the future.

The Empire has bought itself time, and the most precious respite, but at the cost of the destruction of hundreds of spatial realms, billions of lives, and a deeply frightening, unpredictable future fate.

Subject: Observation report on the digestion of space by the Tyranids

Your Excellency, I have bad news for you. The danger we face this time may be greater than we can imagine. Based on a comparison of the resources of the "Dark 71" space field before and after it was occupied by the Tyranids, we will come to a sensational conclusion.

"Dalke 71" is a standard agricultural space with a surface diameter of about 12,500 kilometers. Over the course of 100 days (Imperial Overworld Standard Time), the Zerg Assault Force removed the following quantities of supplies from the space:

1.6 billion cubic kilometers of water. Of these, 1 cubic kilometer of seawater has a mass of more than 1 trillion kilograms.

8.7 billion cubic kilometers of gas. This is the amount below the standard temperature pressure, and if treated with ultra-low temperature and high pressure (zero degrees, 3 atmospheres) the volume can be reduced to one-tenth.

Seventy-two trillion cubic kilometers of soil and minerals, one cubic kilometer of which weighs about 1.5 trillion kilograms.

We can't imagine how they managed to do this in a short period of time. It is not known where these supplies are being transported. Judging from the several Zerg invasions they have encountered in history, the size of their troops simply cannot carry a fraction of the above numbers. In total, 10 billion cubic kilometers of supplies were looted from the planet. It would take at least a million heavy cargo airships to do this. An offensive force of this magnitude would not be able to be manufactured even if all of our foundry space and all factories worked tirelessly for ten years. Amazingly, this kind of plundering still could not satisfy the appetite of the Tyranid swarm, and it was still invading again and again, almost every month. It is necessary to determine if they are transporting supplies back to the Void, and it seems that they have not yet fully used up these resources.

Detailed reports come from mechanical monitors set up in advance beneath the space, as well as a few contrasting records found afterwards.

Details:

Records recovered from the Darker 71 space field indicate that the invasion began quietly and that no large-scale raids occurred. The earliest record is a sporangia that broke through the southern atmosphere of space and began to land. This is the first time that the appearance of Zerg has been detected. Therefore, this day is taken as the first day of the record.

Day 7: Space Defense forces destroy over one hundred and thirty-seven Zerg creatures in an uninhabited area near the sporangia landing site. There is no record that they have destroyed any nest-type Zerg tissue. The administrator of the "Dalk 71" space was pleased with the results of the operation, although the executive officers of the defense force had reservations, claiming that the actual situation was more severe than what was seeming, and that it was necessary to be vigilant, increase the defense equipment, or request reinforcements from the Imperial Overworld.

Day 9: Large-scale Zerg infestations begin in two places far apart, and a large number of gene stealers are discovered. At this time, it was more than two hundred kilometers away from the initial landing point. The Defence Force was sent to two locations to suppress it, and the Imperial Wehrmacht stationed inside the space were to act in tandem.

Day 13: Near the fishing grounds off the northern coast, signs of Zerg activity are spotted. Seven hundred kilometers from the initial landing site, conflicts continue in all regions, and a large-scale Tyranid base has not yet been discovered.

Day 28: The government in the space sector sends a distress signal.

Day 37: All areas within a radius of 2,000 kilometers from the original landing site have been completely controlled by the Tyranid Zerg. The submarine stationed by the Imperial Wehrmacht in this space discovered a Zerg base hidden below the surface of the water at a distance of five thousand kilometers from the landing site. The submarine was then destroyed. Note: All underwater farms were attacked at the beginning of the day, and all have since been destroyed.

The desalination plant near the coast was destroyed by the Zerg, and the main pumping station was occupied. From there, they can easily infiltrate any part of the "Dalke 71" space.

Day 41: The Administrator and his staff flee the space domain and are taken over by Lieutenant Colonel Gramack, commander of the Imperial Wehrmacht. He ordered the immediate start of a full-scale shelling of all areas of the incident, but with little success.

Day 48: The Imperial Wehrmacht is forced to shrink its forces and retreat to various strongholds. The report says that the number of Zerg creatures is growing exponentially. (Estimated approximately every 2.) 5 days to double the number)

Number jù document: On the fiftieth day, the space domain of "Darker 71" was completely lost.

The text begins with this, recorded in additional red font.

Day 50: A large number of Zerg troops emerge from the void and surround the space of "Dark 71". All spiritual communication in the outside world is interrupted. According to preliminary estimates, there are more than 1.5 billion Zerg creatures in the space domain of "Darker 71". Any attempt to escape was intercepted, and all kinds of military or civilian vehicles and equipment were destroyed.
