Chapter 768: Bugs

When Yukoa. When Jacobs met with the king of a kingdom within the realm of space, he saw the kingdom's so-called idol of God. This made him very worried: this idol was a grim reaper with four arms, a hideous appearance, and extremely terrifying. Jacobs believes that the area may well have been infiltrated by a cult of genestealers. In order to avoid being harmed, he retreated to other kingdoms that were more friendly to him, and persuaded the rulers of these kingdoms to unite against the rebellious king. As Jacobs had predicted, when he arrived with an army of archers and cavalry, as well as a large number of light infantry, his army was attacked by a group of genestealers. Although a large number of genestealers were shot down in a hail of arrows, they easily tore many of the lightly armed infantry armed with swords and shields to shreds.

Jacobs divided his knights into two teams, one in reserve, and he led the other around the flanks of the genestealers and attacked their rear. The knights crushed their nest brothers in human skins (grassroots soldiers of the Genestealer Sect, often using their human appearance to infiltrate human forces on local planets) and smash them into the heart of the cult. Eventually, the Gene Master (the oldest and highest-ranking member of the Gene Stealer Sect) was killed. Although its corpse was also littered with human corpses that had fallen in order to kill it, the Gene Elder (a high-ranking member of the Genestealer Sect with psychic abilities who was responsible for communicating the will of the Sect Leader to the congregation, and preached in the surrounding community to recruit followers when the Genestealer Sect rebelled) was also stabbed to death with a spear. The genestealer was thrown into chaos immediately after losing its leader. Seeing this, the remaining knights continued to attack, and in a glorious charge, completely annihilated the already dazed enemy.

After the Battle of Solax 12, Jacobs became a legend, and he was able to get the help of Emperor Xià to thwart anyone who opposed him. Later, he succeeded in converting six space realms to the Emperor, and he died in Gorang 3 from a lung-destroying virus.

This is a great figure that we should remember, respect, and learn from. Yukoa. The deeds of Jacobs tell us that we should never bow down to the forces of evil under any circumstances. His Majesty the Emperor is watching our every move all the time. For the Empire! For the emperor!

Part VII:

More than two centuries later, several more space domains have mysteriously lost contact with the outside world. The Holy See has been putting a lot of effort into surveillance. Because of this, Chief Inspector Kertam learned of the Tyranid's re-invasion earlier than his colleagues in the Supreme Court. Keltam is a very special Ombudsman. He inherited the consciousness of the mind that Bishop Castel had retained after his death. At the same time, Kertam was also a high-ranking cleric who fought his way up from the ranks of the clergy. After a long and arduous battle with these Tyranid xenomorphs, Keltam can be said to know the habits of these monsters inside out. They have excellent environmental adaptability and evolutionary abilities that have been deeply influenced and embedded in the tactics of all hive troops. And just like that, the notorious spiritual power investigation in the history of the empire began. Historically known as the "Shadow of Keltam". The ultimate goal of this investigation is to gain contact with all of the Empire's documented space domains.

In the course of the investigation, dozens of high-level psionic elders overused their spiritual connections and thinking abilities in an attempt to contact those distant spaces that had not been connected for hundreds of years, thus permanently burning their brains. It was a terrible loss that no one could accept, and it made the operation a very inglorious stroke in the history of the Empire. The time for communication extended from a few weeks to a long eleven months later, and the spatial domains that had abruptly halted communication during the investigation gradually formed a pattern on the map of the empire's territory. Based on this result, Keltam was able to understand the composition of this staggering number of hive troops, and the direction of their next attack.

The shì in front of his eyes plunged Keltam into a state of worry. The loss of contact between many major space areas seems to signal that an offensive across the galaxy is coming. However, the troubling thing didn't stop there - the Zerg forces were concentrating their forces, swords moving sideways, trying to avoid the Imperial army's toughest and most defensive eastern front, plunging directly into its soft underbelly.

However, this is not enough to tell the whole story. The Papal Psionics detected that the Tyranid attack force, which had reappeared since the last Great War and was named "Fenrir", had formed two huge branches outside of the space realm. Judging from the images simulated in the void, they resemble the two giant pincers of a crab. Gradually, the vast space areas in this pincer offensive lost contact one by one. And the rate at which we are losing space is getting faster and faster. Strangely, however, the teleportation between these spatial realms and the Overworld has not been interrupted by this, and the space holders seem to be completely oblivious to the looming threat. There is only one conclusion: the bioenergetic psychic communication between the two huge forces of attackers over long distances has filled the vast space area in the middle and completely blocked all communication links. Imperial reinforcements were completely unable to access the Guò Teleporter to the besieged area. The terrifying legendary monster "Fenrir" has completely opened its bloody jaws full of fangs, cutting off the vast spatial realm of the Empire. Once the monster's jaw is completely closed, it will devour its loot with impunity.

Su Hao had a wry smile on his face again.

Fenrir is another legendary monster name from Earth.

Last time, it was the nine-headed sea monster Hydra in Greek mythology, and now it is the giant wolf who devoured the god king Odin in Norse mythology. God knows how many more things like this there are? Perhaps, this is a kind of secret that Dai Xiaolou wants to tell himself from the notebook?

Chief Inspector Keltam understands that unless a single offensive branch of the Tyranid Alien is completely destroyed, there is no hope of saving these besieged spatial realms. Moreover, the main question now is not how many support troops can be assembled. If they can't disperse the electromagnetic fog and bio-energy barriers that hinder the troops' contact beams, it will be impossible to support these spaces. The more serious problem is: after careful calculation and consideration, the target of the attack of this new alien force is directly aimed at the heart of the main world of the empire, that is, the inner region of the empire, and it may even be the location of the emperor's majesty - the imperial capital.

However, the surviving space spheres did not lose their defensive capability. Tyrese, a living space with large mineral resources and immigrants, is located directly on the offensive path of an attacking force of the Tyranid swarm "Fenrir". The "Ultramarine" regiment stationed a company of fighters here. From time immemorial, when they were first stationed, they swore to defend this place with their lives. In addition, another main wargroup located in the adjacent space of the base also joined the ranks of the battle. They are ready to fight to the death against the hive forces until the end, and all of them will die.

In addition to this, the Death Watch Special Hunt Squad (a direct unit of the Supreme Inquisition) also appears in this space, under the direct leadership of Keltam himself. He believes that the use of stratagem against an enemy like the Tyranid is often more effective than direct force.

The various Imperial troops who received the order rushed to the arrival of the Zerg and arrived at the space realm "Tyrese" in a steady stream. The space has a strong seasonality, which coincides with winter. As the bitter cold begins to envelop the entire space, veterans from the "Ultramarine" Marine Corps are training the Imperial Wehrmacht and the Space Guard, teaching them the experience and tactics of fighting bugs. Then, the harsh winter came, and the snow began to fall from the sky, and with the snowflakes was a frenzy of Zerg sporangia.

Faced with an unimaginably large swarm, the Imperial defenders had no choice but to retreat and move closer to the center of the Tyrese space realm in order to fight to the death there. The Tyrese was under fierce siege for more than a month, and Commander Amriel of the 4th Marine Battalion of the Ultramarines commanded the defenders to barely resist the onslaught of the enemy troops. In the end, it was the Chief Inspector Keltam who personally commanded the battle. However, no matter how hard the defenders tried to destroy the enemy, the Tyranid Xenomorphs remained like a tidal wave until Chief Overseer Keltam led a death squad and captured a sickle monster alive from the swarm, and the tide of the war finally began to turn.

With the genetic code obtained from the Scythe, a genius biologist at the Imperial Research Institute devised a genetic plague against the Zerg. If the plague can be dropped into the center of the swarm, it can completely disintegrate them. Captain Amriel accepts this dangerous mission and leads the Death Watch team to infiltrate the core of the hive force, where he releases a genotoxin. However, at first, nothing seemed to happen. The desperate determination of the Imperial forces in the "Tyrese" space is over. Soon after, however, a miracle happened. The plague began to spread at an increasing rate. The bugs are caught up in cannibalism. Because the spiritual connection between them is severed. The Empire then fought back. Just on the ground of the "Tyrese" space, more than 100,000 bugs were annihilated, and the invaders were finally repulsed.

After the attempt of the Tyranid swarm "Fenrir" forces to attack the Empire's Overworld was shattered, the communications of the vast Imperial Space Domain, which was under the attack of the Zerg's iron pincers, was finally restored. Chief Inspector Keltam's attempt to restore contact was successful. But even then, the ease was only temporary. The reports of the various spatial massacres, which were hidden by the shadow of the alien attack, began to slowly appear one by one on the core screen of the Supreme Inquisition.

"Verland", a small spatial realm pioneered by high-ranking monks and believers and established a ruling system, was completely overwhelmed by the overwhelming attack of xenomorphic swarms in just a few hours. The blood shed by the unfortunate people drowned the huge squares and monasteries that were once glorious and represented the majesty of the Holy See.

Another religious space, Harvey, held out for more than six weeks under the stubborn defenses of the fighting nuns. This sacred land finally succumbed to the clutches of the alien Zerg troops. And this time is only a handful of days away from the victory of "Tyrese" in the space domain. The nuns fought until the last moment. All the beautiful buildings in this space have been razed to the ground, and the devoured ruins have been used by the alien invaders, hatching more terrifying beasts. The news of the invaders' attack spread like a plague throughout the empire. The firm belief in His Majesty the Emperor could not resist the crazy attack of the alien insect swarm, and more and more people began to waver under these news.

After the space domain under the jurisdiction of the empire was swallowed up little by little, the morale of the imperial army also became quite low. Chief Inspector Keltam's forces were also overstretched in this situation, and they were running around at the expense of one another. And the Tyranid Swarm Xenomorph units become more powerful with each space they engulf. Since Keltam has been implementing his own plan with the help of the original military system to defend the eastern overworld of the empire, the defense of the eastern frontier in the overworld has now become quite empty. The Dark World, of course, would not miss such an opportunity, and they took advantage of the situation to invade the "Caldemu" space, and built a new dark creature war fortress there, and the shape shì began to become precarious.

In this grim situation, Chief Inspector Keltam made a difficult choice: under his orders, the Imperial Army established a huge cordoned area. Keltam's plan was to follow the route of the Tyrannical forces and abandon all possible areas of space along that route. Of course, it's not just the retreat, the abandoned space is also equipped with a lot of explosives and energy that can be detonated. As long as these spaces are destroyed, the invaders' forces will not be able to get any supplies, and they will suffer heavy losses. This will hold these attackers back long enough until more reinforcements from the Imperial Overworld are assembled. It is very difficult to make such a decision. Because once it is discovered that the space in the warning area is under attack, the Imperial garrison will carry out the destruction plan in the space where the alien landing, and blow up the entire space at the last moment.

Keltam expects that in such a situation, the Tyranid Hive will consume a huge amount of resources in order to seize a space to get supplies. In order to accomplish the goal of destroying the space, it is necessary to use the electronic control system or virus bombs to carry out intensive bombardment, completely erase the living creatures on the surface of the planet, and even destroy the ecological balance system inside the entire space, including the natural world, a qiē water, energy, and organic matter, turning the entire space into a desert, or even shattered sand.

And just like that, a resolute and cold order was given. As a result, Chief Inspector Keltam has also been accused of wiping out billions of innocent lives (the Empire's civilians are only a minority of them, and the vast majority are natives within the space realm). Until now, this operation is also the largest systematic massacre that has occurred within the empire since the Great Rebellion in the history of the empire.

(As a recorder, I don't want to defend Chief Inspector Keltam.) But there is no doubt that in the circumstances of the time, his decision was most in line with practical needs. Every one of us knows how terrible the Tyranid swarm is. But not everyone can make the wisest choice that is in the best interests of the greatest number of people at a critical moment when danger is coming. Chief Ombudsman Keltam is one such person. No matter how fiercely the outside world evaluates him, even associating him with words like evil, Keltam's exploits in the Zerg War are obvious and cannot be erased by anyone. He was a great man, and although many died because of him, we must also see that many more survived because of him. )

This decision to give up as many as 100 space domains before the Tyrann Xenomorph attacks has caused angry cries from all sides of the Empire. From the Holy See to the Inquisition, many very influential procurators have demanded that Keltam be characterized as a "traitor excommunicated...... Especially after the abandoned and completely bombed wasteland of the desolate spaces, which had been preempted by the dark creatures before the xenomorph swarm could attack, the malicious slanderers called Chief Inspector Keltam a "radical", "traitor", and "fool".

Soon, an expulsion order from the Holy See also arrived. He stripped Keltam of all his positions and forced him to hide incognito and hide from the angry crowd that pursued him like a lowly criminal.

War is certainly about death and survival. We can't stand up for the sake of those who die. But there are always some guys who think they are righteous and jump out when they feel the right opportunity. They impose the so-called justice on the already dead human beings, thus depriving and even gaining more benefits. They completely ignored the series of changes behind the Holocaust, and they simply did not see that the number of imperial soldiers and civilians who survived far exceeded the number of victims by dozens of times. They don't know anything but verbal criticism. The struggle for power is the only thing they are obsessed with. For our world, the greatest enemy is not so much the Tyranid swarm as these sanctimonious, high-altitude parasites.

Yes, they're the real bugs. Incomparably abominable and disgusting. Advantage.
