The Empire has built an untold number of MCVs that can quickly build a self-sufficient industrial system that is spawned for war, or it can fill the entire planet with mining equipment and transform it into a mining world that will provide the Empire with a steady stream of resources.

And when the Empire is colonizing the planet, the MCV often plays a huge role.

After the completion of the planetary transformation, a base car is transported over, all technology and industry do not need additional help, self-sufficient, and the price required is only a base car plus the spaceship transported over plus a few people who operated in the past, simple and convenient, fast and worry-free.

Pioneers and soldiers often referred to the construction site of the dual-use MCV as a "sacred place" because it resembled a cathedral.

Right now, on the Long River Star, the MCVs are also starting their work. Huge vehicles and exaggeratedly small crews began to build small military bases here.

The MCV expands into a huge construction plant and military command center.

A series of technologies and devices such as omnidirectional building robotic arms, encrypted communication arrays, integrated SPAM processing units ("standardized production assembly module" English abbreviation SPAM), and a full set of nanocores make it indeed able to take on the task of building a factory and command center.

Moments later, a miniature city reinvigorates a lifeless and barren land. These buildings are grey, boring, and the same style, but they are warm and dry, making them the best way to fill the void of a broken home.

They are the temporary dwelling of the soldiers and the seeds of the re-establishment of human cities in the future.

And on the outskirts of the base, a ring of strong walls rises from the ground. One Sentry Cannon after another was assembled, and they fired the same Vulcan Heavy Explosion as the Stormlord Super Heavy Tank.

At the same time, a series of military buildings such as machine factories, power plants, and maintenance factories have also sprung up.

Although many soldiers were shocked to see the "standardized production assembly module" used in the production of MCV buildings, the fact is that the Empire has been using SPAM for more than hundreds of years to build traditional production buildings, such as mechanical factories and airports.

Moreover, the technology of creating multiple weapon systems with a common component is nothing new. The empire completed the standardization and generalization of almost all military equipment.

】

That is, the Imperial troops could fully equip themselves with everything they needed on the battlefield. The Field Rapid Assembly Module for the Imperial Super Heavy Tank has powerfully redefined the way mobile warfare is done.

Almost overnight, starry military bases appeared all over the planet, circling the base cars that created them, spewing out the first waves of Imperial forces to destroy the Tyranid hatching nests.

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

"We're about to get to the top of the hatchery."

Underneath the Celestial Claw-type Valkyrie gunboat, a pilot squad leader is briefing several of his team members on the mission through a communication device. But the Tyranid creatures in the air also seemed to have something to say to them, and they followed them closely.

"Emergency right turn!"

The Valkyrie's pilot roared in the communication channel. The gunboat arced through the air, dangerously avoiding a gargoyle's charge.

"Damn it, Wisson! Get us out of here! The Captain shouted angrily.

Although he was sitting in the Titan's cockpit, it should have been the safest place he had ever felt. However, being grabbed under the body by the gunboat machine with an electromagnetic lifting claw, unable to move, makes the sense of security disappear.

"Sir, those Tyranid creatures are blocking our path, and we may not be able to..."

"Then put us on the surface!"

"But sir, there's a swarm of worms down there. There is still some distance to be gained before we can meet our ground forces. ”

"I don't care, just do it! Drop us to the surface right now, fucking hurry! Right now! ”

"Countdown to delivery, 3! 2！ 1！ The electromagnetic claw is on! ”

"The Titan has landed."

The Valkyrie gunboat fleet in the air dropped the Titans they were transporting on the surface, and then immediately reversed course, leaving the battlefield and retreating towards the rear.

The Valkyrie is a support aerial vehicle, and in order to increase its transportation capacity, it has reduced its body weight and armor, and its crew has been reduced to one person.

It is armed with a nose bomb that retains only the nature of self-defense, and the hell strike missiles or rocket nests that may be equipped on both wings.

This series of changes makes the Celestial Claw Valkyries very vulnerable, and although they will be transported in formation with other models of Valkyries, they are still vulnerable.

After the transport task is completed, the first thing they should do is to retreat as soon as possible and wait for the next order.

And above the ground, the Tyranid team that has landed has begun to slaughter in the swarm.

"We'll be able to get out of this sea of worms! Follow me! ”

In the sea of worms, the team leader and his members kept moving in the direction of the Imperial ground forces.

The sheer size of the swarm was also a threat to the Titans, but fortunately, the Titans were already very close to the Empire's ground forces.

"Titan Squad, there is an Imperial defense stronghold to the southeast of yours."

"It was one of the important locations of the battle, helping the soldiers there to hold it."

In the communication channel, the commander gave a new order to the Titan squad.

The squad leader marks the direction of the destination in the combat system and controls the Titan's rapid progress.

"We're driving the best mechs, we're holding the best weapons, we're the best soldiers!"

"Follow me!"

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

On the surface above the Tyrannical hatchery, the forces of the Empire are taking on numerous Tyranid creatures.

With the modules of the defensive structures produced, the Empire's troops have laid out simple defensive lines here. Shut out the Tyranid creatures.

Although they constantly assault the Empire's defenses, the Empire's soldiers always push them back again and again. The Astral Army is the best soldier in positional warfare.

However, not all Tyranid creatures are stopped by the defenses, and some Tyranid creatures are always able to attack the Empire's forces from underground.

"Corey, watch your step!"

When an astral soldier heard the prompt of his comrades, he did not hesitate at all, and instantly stepped back with his feet on the ground.

And where he had just been, the claws of a Tyranid creature broke through the ground first, and then a Tyranid creature crawled out of the ground.

This is a Tyranid creature called the Snake Worm, which has both the biochemical symbiosis weapon of the Hive Samurai and the high speed of a gargoyle.

Fearful of heavy weapons, snakes have evolved the ability to use their sharp claws to dig tunnels through almost any substance.

When they feel the ground shake, they burst out of the tunnels and use symbiotic weapons to spread death and destruction.

On the battlefield, swarms of snakes and insects will also twist and advance at high speed, overwhelming the unfortunate defenders before the enemy has time to bombard.

The Empire, after previous campaigns, has carefully analyzed and understood this Tyranid creature. It is clear that these Tyranid creatures that attack from the ground usually rely on their sense of hearing and vibration to attack enemies on the surface.

Once they understand how to attack, the Imperial forces will be able to lure these creatures out of the ground and use concentrated firepower to eliminate them.

But just like this snake worm, the Empire can't succeed in luring all of the Tyranid creatures from the ground to the designated location. This does not fully protect Imperial forces from attacks from underground by Tyranid creatures.

Therefore, on the battlefield, there are many Space Marines flying in Storm-type attack ships to support the attacked troops and maintain the stability of the defensive line.

But before the Space Marines' support arrived, the ground shook more and more violently, and it seemed that something big was digging.

And that's exactly what happened, as large chunks of dirt splattered, two giant Tyranid creatures suddenly emerged from underground.

One of them had terrifying jaws, pincer tails, and sickle claws, enough to give anyone who saw them nightmares for years, if he could survive.

It is a sand python that is much larger than a snake and insects, and has the ability to move quickly underground. It can often be found behind well-defended and heavily artillery-heavy positions, attacking important targets, and three pairs of scythes quickly harvest the lives around them.

There are signs that the sand python has a particularly keen hearing, and it is through its sense of hearing that it determines the location of the enemy, determines the location of those whose hearts are beating faster because of fear, and then breaks through the ground.

Another giant Tyranid creature is similar to the sand python, but the two are not the same species.

The creature that also wields the claws of a giant scythe is called the Anaconda, and its abilities are more specialized than those of the Sand Anaconda.

The Python is larger and equipped with stronger weapons, and the Python's claws can dig through larger passages.

Not only in order to make themselves "swim" in the underground battlefield, but more importantly, in order to dig a way for the countless ground troops behind them, as the python breaks through the ground, the enemy in fear will not be the only one to face.

"Damn, request for backup!"

When a soldier identified what it was, he immediately realized that countless Tyranid creatures would soon follow.

And thanks to his excellent observation skills, he also discovered that this is not an ordinary digging python, but a chief digging python, which is more deadly and terrifying than ordinary Tyranid creatures.

As a node creature, it has the ability to convey the will of the hive, and as an officer of the Zerg underground battlefield, its flesh and blood are extremely strong, and it can cause great damage on its own, not to mention the tidal army behind it.

According to the tactics manual, the troops that discovered it should destroy these Tyranid Behemoths as soon as possible, so that the small Tyranid creatures around it will become irrational beasts, and the soldiers' chances of survival will be greatly increased.

However, the playbook also says that it is with enough firepower.

The lasers fired by the Astral Army soldiers, who lacked heavy firepower, pierced through his chitin armor, but the wounds were tiny compared to the size of these Tyranid beasts.

Tyranid creatures with extremely strong vitality will not die because of this wound.

Thankfully, the Space Marines' support arrived before these Tyranid creatures could inflict more casualties on the soldiers.

The Storm Attack Storm Attack Boat they are piloting is a new type of anti-gravity attack boat made using anti-gravity technology. Compared to the previous Rappy Boat, it is larger, with thicker armor and more diverse weapon configurations, and retains its agility and maneuverability.

Just like other Space Marine vehicles, it can be used to perform different missions by changing the weapon configuration scheme, and three specialized models have been derived.

For example, the Hailstorm Attack Boat for Anti-Infantry, which is equipped with the Slayer Gatling Cannon, the Fragmentation Storm Grenade Launcher, and the Twin-Mounted Hail Heavy Timbering Gun.

Although it is difficult to cause fatal damage to huge sand pythons and digging pythons. But the best way to clear out the countless snakes and insects, as well as the other Tyranid creatures that crossed the Astral Army defenses along the underground passages.

The hammer and lightning storm attack boats are equipped with high-powered weapons. Even large Tyranid creatures can deal massive damage.

Whether it's a Melt-Breaker or a Lightning-Strike Laser Claw, it's a powerful weapon that can easily break through Tyranid's chitin defenses.

And in addition to these Space Marine's fast attack boats, there are also some Space Marines piloting dreadnought mechs that are approaching here.

These dreadnoughts may not be as nimble as the Titans piloted by the pilots, but they can carry more powerful weapons.

As a result, these Dreadnoughts are natural attackers, armed with short-range but powerful weapons that can overwhelm the Iron Behemoth and even the Legion in their path: fortifications, vehicles, and even flesh and blood.

Whether it's a deflagration cannon, a phosphating missile, or a whirlwind hot molten spear array, they are all excellent weapons for clearing heavy units. The Empire has never lacked the means to clean up these Tyranid creatures.

Above the surface, Space Marines and the Astral Army worked hard to keep the Tyranid creatures from approaching.

And they did this to prevent them from sneaking up from the rear to sneak up on the Terminator-clad Space Marines who went deep underground to clean up the hatching nest. Not only on the surface, but also underground, the battle between the Empire and the Tyranid creatures has not stopped.

In the complex underground tunnels, Space Marines in Terminator armor are armed with appropriate weapons to clear their lairs of immature Tyranid creatures, as well as dangerous Tyranid creatures in their lairs.

These formidable armors are equipped with a heavy set of terracotta composite armor on the outside, while the exoskeleton is made of Edelman alloy with a servo interface that links the armor to the Space Marine's nervous system.

The Terminator provides them with strong protection, which can be extremely useful in places like underground tunnels where dreadnoughts and armored vehicles can't do it.
