As he stood on the bridge, looking at the hologram of the growing number of Tyranid creatures, he knew it was time to leave.

"Everyone back to their warship, we are about to leave the White Hart System!"

Although Khazar hopes to bring more samples to the Empire's biologists, the tentacles of the hive fleet will extend over if he does not leave.

Watch the Imperial fleet battle many Tyranid creatures in the distance in the starry sky, and the planets that gather many Tyranid creatures in the sky above the planet.

Khazar swore that he would return.

And then, he will have a weapon strong enough to destroy Tyranid's creatures.

These aliens, who see humans as food, will eventually pay a price.

Khazar's orders were transmitted to each captain in the command channel.

The zero reactors on each ship run at full power, grabbing a huge amount of energy from the void vacuum, and this energy is supplied to the extremely advanced pulse engines installed on the ships through the network and lines.

As the brilliant tail flame at the stern of the ship swelled, the speed of the Imperial ships continued to rise, and they soon shook off the Tyranid creature warships that were approaching them.

】

Then sail to the edge of the galaxy and leap into hyperspace and disappear.

The creatures that had lost their target waved their tentacles behind them, reversed course, and continued their previous work.

Some continue to recover valuable biomass, while others continue to fight Imperial soldiers in the asteroid belt.

The defenses in these asteroid belts do not have the powerful Void Shield devices like the fortresses on the Imperial planets, nor do they have the unparalleled mobility of the Imperial warships.

But the Imperial soldiers on it resolutely stood on the front line of the fight against the Tyranid creatures.

Even now, some of the artillery arrays in the asteroid belt are still doing their job, making the number of Tyranid forces rushing into the interior of the system lower than expected.

......

......

In the sky above the Long River Star, the sporangia dropped by the hive fleet were never able to break through the planet's anti-aircraft firepower.

If it were a ship of another race, it would have exhausted the ground forces on board the battleship long ago, and could not continue the landing offensive.

But these creature warships floating above the planet aren't just living spaceships that make up the Tyranid Hive fleet. They are also biofactories responsible for the production of different kinds of Tyrannic organisms for terrestrial invasions.

The corpses of creatures that were destroyed by planetary fire and floated in orbit were recovered by the surviving creatures, giving birth to more Tyranid creatures to throw to the surface.

The spore sac will carry a large number of knife worms and spearworms to the surface, and even if most of them will be intercepted by the orbital defense system, there will always be some creatures that will be lucky enough to fall to the surface through the web of death made of fire.

Although these lucky ones are pitiful, they add up to a lot.

Tyranny's bio-warships obscured almost the entire planet's skies, and the number of airdrop bags they dropped was certainly staggering.

Under the long-term drop, even if the probability of those airdrop bags not being destroyed by the planetary defense system is only 1 in 10,000, the number of knife insects and gun bugs that fall on the surface of the planet is enough to form a huge force.

Of course, these fallen Tyranid creatures are scattered all over the planet and do not come together, and there is not the slightest threat to the cities and fortresses on the planet at the moment.

Some of the swarms that were attacking the cities and fortresses were even captured by the powerful Space Marines using the stasis stance, and were made available for study by xenobiologists, geneticists, and other scholars in the Long River and Imperial forces.

Although the planet is located on the edge of the Empire's borders, the planet type is closer to the fortress world than to the research world, and the research environment and equipment in the various cities are not as good as the research centers established by the Empire.

But "inferior" does not mean "can't".

With the many subjects captured, scholars on the planet were able to conduct in-depth research and debriefing on the physiological and psychological characteristics of many of the creatures in this hive fleet.

This was the first time that a living experiment had been conducted on many Tyranid creatures, and the results were astounding.

Various research and reports on Tyranid creatures have been sent back to the rear for reference in the Imperial worlds that have not yet been invaded by Tyranids, so as to prepare for more targeted precautions.

Among them, a series of papers and reports, such as the relationship between the Tyranids and the gene stealers, the life forms of the Tyranid creatures, and the connection between the Tyranid creatures and the subspace, will not play much role in the battle on the Long River Star for the time being.

However, some of these reports have given humans some simple insight into the physiology of some Tyranid creatures.

This is important for both ordinary planetary defense forces and powerful space marines.

Because war is coming.

While the Empire's anti-aircraft firepower is still strong, scholars in the Empire have discovered that certain reproductive genital gen-stealers, knife bugs, gargoyles, and gun bugs are capable of reproduction.

That's right, unlike most Tyrannic creatures, these several Tyranid creatures are able to reproduce independently of the hive fleet.

And as one of the Guterra sayings, when you see a cockroach, it means that there are thousands of cockroaches in ambush.

After landing, a knife worm can lay hundreds of eggs underground.

Although the lifespans of these Tyranid creatures are frighteningly short, after each generation dies, a new generation takes over and continues to ravage the world.

This means that even if the swarms attacking cities and fortresses at this time are just some lucky ones who are lucky enough to escape the Imperial anti-aircraft fire, it will not be long before more of them, their second and third generations, will crawl out of the ground and rush to the human gathering place.

It is unclear if the Tyranid Warriors, Lichard, or other Tyranid creatures are capable of doing this.

But these small Tyranid creatures alone were enough of a headache for the Imperial soldiers.

On the defensive front on the edge of the city.

General Wadez rubbed his eyes with the tips of his thin fingers, he was more than three hundred years old.

Although there are hardly any wrinkles around his face reflected on the screen in the chamber, and his bodily functions have been improved by some genetic modifications. But thinking about Tyranid's creatures all day still made him tired.

When he learned that these Tyranid creatures were able to lay eggs and reproduce on the planet, Wadez was not too surprised.

As long as these Tyranid creatures don't grow out of the ground like orcs.

If Tyranid creatures have such a number, plus the way orcs reproduce....

Just thinking about it, Wadez felt a cold sweat on his back.

However, spawning and breeding?

It's not that Wadez underestimated the Tyranids, this breeding method is far inferior to that of the orcs.

Although the number of Tyranid creatures is surprising, their ability to reproduce and spread is far inferior to that of orcs.

The war in the White Hart System has reached such a point that it can be said that in the White Hart System, no amount of food can make up for the losses suffered by the Tyranns.

When they land on the Long River Star, they will definitely starve.

Even if the White Deer System is eventually lost, the number of this hive fleet will be much smaller than it was when it was combined.

And if it is orcs, after they conquer the White Hart system, many worlds in the galaxy will be overgrown with orcs, even those who are dead.

Vadez mentally compared the Zerg to the Orcs.

The Tyranids attack the White Hart system.

Win: Eat everything, make ends meet, and lose power.

Lose: The strength is greatly reduced, and I can't even eat a mouthful of hot food.

Orcs attack the White Hart system.

Win: Six worlds overgrown with orcs.

Lose: A world of six orcs. Unless the empire spends a lot of manpower and material resources to clean up the reproductive spores of orcs.

In this way, the Tyranids seem to be far less of a threat than the Orcs.

While the number of Tyranid creatures is staggering, it seems endless. However, with the current armed forces of the Empire, the Tyranid Zerg want to devour any Imperial world, and they will have more to lose than they devour.

In general, Tyranid creatures always fight less and less, and don't fight more and more like orcs.

Even though there are still more Tyranids on the way beyond the river system, Wadez believes that humanity will eventually win. After all, relying on the maneuverability of warships, human beings are inherently invincible.

Even if all the planets are swallowed, humans can build an ark world and wander the starry sky like the spirits. And the Tyranid Zerg can't catch up with human warships at all.

Of course, this is the worst-case scenario, and no citizen of the empire wants to see such a thing happen.

Shaking his head, Wadez ended his reverie in a moment of relaxation and refocused his attention on the battlefield of the Long River Star at this time.

More and more Tyranid bioships are gathering in the sky above the Long River Star, and more and more empty sacs are landing from the sky.

And this means that more and more Tyranid creatures have descended on the surface of the Long River Star.

According to the analysis of scholars, it will soon be enough for the Tyranid creatures on the Long River Star to launch a large-scale attack on the human settlement.

And General Wadez was preparing for this attack.

Numerous artillery regiments are already in place, armored clusters are ready to strike, and the Space Marines can reach the most intense battlefields in less than a minute.

Everything is ready for the swarm to attack.

............

As the Imperial scholars had expected, after a while, the Tyranid Zerg struck like a raging wave.

Standing high in the defensive line, General Wadez looked at the swarm that occupied his entire field of vision, and his face was expressionless.

Is there a lot of Tylen bio? Many.

Wadez stood on the lookout, looking down. The uninterrupted, undulating sea of insects is home to some huge creatures, their dark green shells showing the ferocity and brutality of the Tyranid creatures, dotting the "ocean" of creatures.

The ocean in front of him was a dark green, and the wrinkles of countless Zerg swelled like solidified waves, stretching to the distant horizon.

Intimidating.

But Wadez had seen this hundreds of years ago, only the greener was brighter.

Looking at the green ocean in front of him, Wadez was not only not afraid, but even imagined a little like back then, sitting in the command compartment of a super-heavy tank, leading his armored regiment to charge towards the sea of green.

"Heh, I didn't expect that there would be a day when I missed the days when I used to fight with orcs."

"I was in my fifties at the time, and I was full of youthful memories."

Wadez thought to himself.

Looking at the swarm of insects that gradually rushed over, Wadez pulled a chair from a distance, and then, it was time to watch the show.

............

These gathered Tyranid creatures, when their numbers reached a certain level, were constantly monitored by the Imperial forces on the Long River Star.

Now that they were able to gather, it was also expected by the Imperial forces.

And the reason why they are gathered is to better destroy them.

As an empire with a lot of experience fighting with orcs, the tactics manual issued to the Imperial troops suggests that the best way to deal with an extremely large number of enemies is to bombard them with high intensity.

In order to better annihilate these Tyranid creatures, the Imperial forces on the Long River Star chose to give these Tyranid creatures time to gather.

Now, it's time to destroy them.

The artillery already in place in the city and fortress opened fire in an instant as the order was given, and launched an attack on the Tyranid swarm.

The Imperial Army, taking advantage of its absolute superiority in firepower, high-density, non-stop, fired several times more artillery than it could cover the Tyranid bioregion, bombarding it devastatingly.

Just as the Empire's anti-aircraft firepower has been able to prevent Tyron from landing smoothly until now. The Empire's defensive artillery is strong enough to wipe out most of the swarms.

And those Tyranid creatures who survived the bombardment and charged before charging to the Imperial lines were subjected to a dense laser attack by the Imperial forces.

Dense bolts of light shot from the defenses where the Imperial soldiers were hiding from the swarms in front of them, hundreds of small creatures were torn to pieces by the dense laser gun volleys, and large creatures fell under the attack of laser cannons and armor-piercing missiles.

But Taryn was never intimidated by the fall of his companions, and they rushed to the buildings or lines where the Imperial forces were hiding.

However, their numbers had already been weakened to a very low range by the Empire's artillery attacks.

Imperial armored vehicles and heavy tanks drove into designated buffer zones, promethium flames and heavy explosions stopped small creatures in their tracks, while larger executioners and samurai were either blown apart by the ammunition of the combat cannon or pierced by laser cannons.

Snipers armed with rail-mounted sniper rifles hid in the spires at the top of the building, each shot aimed at the giant Tyranid creatures with heavy armor protection.

At the front of the battle line, a group of Space Marines wearing Terminator armor and piloting dreadnought mechs have been waiting for a long time.

They used their power weapons and storm shields to strike back at those who were too close. And the high-intensity artillery bombardment in the rear never stopped, constantly reducing the number of Tyron's follow-up troops.

Eventually, the Hive Consciousness was forced to admit its temporary defeat, and the remaining swarm forces were quickly wiped out.
