Batch after batch of transport vehicles travel between hatchery nests and small bases.

The transport compartment in the body, the body on the car, the towing trailer behind the car, the transport tank, etc., all the places that can be loaded are stuffed with biomass. Every vehicle was fully loaded and "well fed." ”

Behind these vehicles, in addition to the Astral Army in charge of guarding, there is also the carnivorous Sgoug, who was originally the size of a hound, but now has the size of a heavy tank.

One by one, they were well fed, fat, and strong.

The drastic change in body shape makes it feel very different, and its cute appearance has become extremely intimidating and terrifying.

Looking at the muzzles of the surrounding astral armies, intentionally or unintentionally, you can see how much pressure they can put on people at this time.

However, although their appearance has changed from a cute little to a terrifying and terrifying monster, their personalities have not changed much. The animal trainers are still their masters.

And under the command of the beast tamer, these carnivorous Scroogs honestly followed behind the vehicles, without any resistance.

A large amount of biomass was transported back to the newly established base of the Empire.

At this time, in addition to those defense facilities, various production facilities have also been built in the base.

A series of facilities such as tank factories, alloy refineries, and biopower plants built by nanobots, construction robots, and construction drones using prefabricated modules and a variety of materials are like plants that have grown wildly under the influence of Tyranid spores, filling the entire base in a very short time.

The biomass is alloyed in alloy foundries, alloy furnaces, and alloy factories by technicians who have mastered catalytic processing technology, and then is directly transferred to the chariot factories in the base.

These massive structures were built entirely of prefabricated components, and although simple in structure, they were capable of building almost any Imperial vehicle in a very short period of time.

It is an important building for the construction of the armored power of the troops.

The automatic robotic arms and assembly robots inside the factory are under the control of the intelligent core, which can complete the production tasks with maximum efficiency.

It is also a powerful and aesthetically pleasing building that conforms to industrial aesthetics.

Two huge chimneys, dotted with pipes all around, both show the great production capacity of the empire. The skulls, double-headed eagles, and imperial emblems on the building also symbolize the great human power.

Once these alloys are shipped into the tank factory, they will soon reappear in the form of tanks, tanks, and gunboats.

Whether it is the forging of alloys, the production of chariot factories, or the defensive weapons of the base, they all consume a lot of electricity.

Although the tank factory has an energy device inside, it can only meet part of the work of the workshop.

When the power supply to the base is cut off due to the lack of power at the base, the tank factory will cut off the power supply to most of the workshop, leaving only the internal power supply to drive some of the work, which leads to reduced production efficiency.

In order for the facilities within the base to operate at maximum efficiency, and for the various defensive weapons and Void Shield devices to operate in real time, the base must have sufficient power.

Therefore, in addition to obtaining electricity from the city through long-distance power transmission technology, a large number of biopower plants have been built in the base to supply energy to those large consumers in the base.

Truckloads of crushed Tyron carcasses enter the production area, are belted into silos, and then transferred to biochemical reactors, where a steady stream of electricity is fed into the base's power grid through a series of wires, and then delivered to various facilities.

On the other side of the base, the carnivorous Scroog entered the slaughterhouse in batches, and then reappeared from the other side in the form of pieces of meat.

The staff of the base cafeteria used these materials to quickly serve a hearty, tasty, and nutritious meal to the soldiers who were recovering from their energy in the base.

Eaten, drunk, and rejuvenated, the Astral Army drove the newly produced vehicles and tanks to another battlefield in the best condition.

These soldiers are going to support the rest of their comrades who are taking over the area of the Tyrann hatchery.

When a Tyranid hatching nest is captured, the Empire's soldiers will return to the base to rebuild or go straight to the next battlefield.

The Empire's recovery forces will be responsible for fully recovering the biomass from these captured hatcheries, so that even if Tyranid creatures arrive after they leave, they won't get any trace of biomass to create more soldiers.

Even the Tyranids, known as the Great Devourers, had to wonder who the Great Devourers were after seeing the scene cleaned up by the Imperial Recycling Force.

Even a drop of blood would have the Empire's recovery forces lick the flesh-eating Scroog clean.

After clearing the hatching nest area and blowing it up, the recycling force transports the biomass back to the base, and the various facilities turn it into everything the Imperial forces need at the moment.

】

As the number of hatching nests destroyed by the Astral Army and Space Marines continues to increase, the number of Tyranid creatures on the Long River Star has been effectively contained.

The Tyranid Zerg want to capture the Long River Star, and it still seems that it is still a difficult task at present.

Because the Empire is not afraid of a long war of attrition with the Tyranids.

While Tyranid creatures are able to rebuild their forces from biomass, the Empire can also use biomass to create armored vehicles, make ammunition, and more.

As long as the Empire runs out of biomass, Tyron is useless.

Even if he didn't run out, every war Tyron fought would be overwhelmed, and he wouldn't fight more and more like before.

At the same time, in the course of the battle with the Tyranid creatures, the Empire's understanding of Tyranny is also deepening. The soldiers of the Empire are more experienced in the face of Tyrann's attack, and they are able to achieve more fruitful results.

For Tyrann's spore threat and underground assaults, the Empire has also developed mature tactics to deal with it.

Orc spores are one of the methods, and viruses and chemicals against Tyranid are also being developed. And in each city, a large number of newly produced Hades drilling machines, moles, hell drills and other excavation vehicles have built a tight underground defense network.

Of course, the strongest fortresses are often breached from within.

Just as when Abaddon launched the Fourth Black Crusade, most of the Empire's fortresses were destroyed by demons that suddenly appeared from within.

However, the Tyranids, who lack the ability to leap and bend, do not have the ability to suddenly appear inside the Imperial Fortress and then lurk to grow or destroy facilities.

And the empire is also very protective of the Tyranid assassin units, as well as gene stealers.

For the Tyranids, it is more likely that the external attack will succeed than the internal flowering.

But they've missed their best chance.

At the time, the Long River Star was unaware of the power of Tyranid creatures, so much so that he made some wrong decisions in the early stages of the war. However, with the gradual contact with the Tyranid creatures, the empire has a clearer understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Tyranid Zerg.

It can be said that in the face of the empire, the Tyranid Zerg will not be able to take anything except a numerical advantage.

Moreover, now that the empire's tactics and means for Tyren are gradually maturing, although Tyran's numerical advantage is still amazing, it is not something that can be manipulated by some well-prepared imperial worlds.

If the Tyranids don't break through the defenses of an Imperial planet in the first wave of attacks, it will be difficult to break through later.

An Imperial planet with plenty of supplies and fortifications is almost impossible for Tylen to take.

That's not a matter of quantity anymore.

No matter how many Tyranid creatures there are, as long as the Empire's ammo is not exhausted, then the Tyranid creatures can only be intercepted outside the Empire's firepower blockade.

Both sides can only engage in a protracted war of attrition to deplete the enemy's combat power in order to finally defeat the enemy.

And the empire that has mastered catalytic processing technology, food processing technology, and biopower generation technology is not afraid of Tyran's war of attrition. Until Tyranny's offensive stops, the Empire will not be short of resources.

This is also why if the first attack of the Tyranid creature does not break the planet's defenses, it will be difficult to devour an empire's world in the future.

However, not all imperial worlds have built as many defenses as the Long River.

Like some remote worlds, some mining worlds, and some colonies that are being built, they don't have the resources to build so many defenses.

Even if they had the ability to build, they didn't have enough manpower and strength to resist the Tyranids. And there are not a few such worlds.

In the galaxy they are in, there will not be a sufficient number of space fleets to obstruct or interfere with the hive fleet.

Although after obtaining enough data about the Tyranids, the projections of the simulated battles show that the odds of the Empire eventually winning have increased from a very low number.

But how much sacrifice the empire will have to pay in the process, no one knows.

Although Tyranny's numerical superiority can be wiped out by sufficient firepower, every hive fleet has a numerical superiority, and not every imperial world has enough firepower.

While this hive fleet was fighting the Empire's forces in the White Hart system, more swarms poured westward, trying to devour everything they passed, and if the Empire didn't do something about it, the planets would suffer a terrible blow.

Many of the Imperial planets in the Extreme Star Domain are in great need of the Empire's support and help.

However, despite the fact that those planets are on Tyranid's path, the Tyranids, who lack subspace navigation technology and can only accelerate and slow down for long periods of time through horned whale ships, will take at least decades to get from one system to another.

These planets still have decades to develop and build defenses. The Empire was also able to find ways to build up more troops and skillfully deploy forces to support these worlds over the decades.

However, some of the imperial worlds in the hazy star field did not have the development time of these decades, and some worlds located on the edge of the star field directly encountered the large army of the Tyranid Zerg who rushed to the galaxy, just like the White Deer Galaxy, and the two sides were at war

Although they are the same as the White Hart system, they have mobilized resources in advance and built a large number of defenses.

However, the expeditionary support fleets sent by the Empire to these interstellar regions could not reach on time due to the Great Rift across the Hazy Star Field, and they had to bypass the Great Rift from the adjacent Extreme Star Domain and the Taiping Star Field.

This also led to the fact that the support fleet of the Ming Ming Empire set off at the same time, and Terra was closer to the border of the Hazy Star Domain, but it was the support fleet sent to the Extreme Star Domain that was the first to arrive at the system they wanted to support.

While the Imperial World of the White Hart System fought with the Tyranids, some worlds in the Hazy Star Domain also fought with the Tyranids.

And without the support of the Empire, although they still rely on a large number of defensive weapons to hold on, they are still at a disadvantage in the face of Tyranny, and they need the assistance of other Imperial forces.

------------

Hazy star field, Livingston system.

This galaxy is an Imperial galaxy located in the northern part of the Hazy Star Field.

Now that the Imperial worlds on the borders of the hazy star field have been invaded by Tyranid, and the Empire's support fleet has not even arrived in the first batch, if the Empire wants to support those invaded worlds, it is the best choice to deploy the forces of these neighboring worlds.

But the empire did not do this.

Because this galaxy, as well as many galaxies in the Hazy Star Field, are surrounded by powerful subspace storms.

The Emperor Avatar created by the Hazy Star Field was occupied by the Chaos Will, and then the large and unstable subspace energy caused the Psionic Avatar to produce an explosion in the real universe that was as powerful as the original birth of Slaanesh.

This psionic explosion blew a large hole in the real universe and subspace, like the Eye of Fear, and caused many other subspace cracks in the hazy star field to be created in large and small.

And over time, these subspace rifts not only did not heal, but gradually connected in series, forming a large rift across the hazy star field.

On the Raven in the Livingston system, the Empire's forces are not facing the Tyranids, but the cultists and rebels.

And the one who leads the empire in this environment is a living saint who has been certified by the empire.

A living saint is a warrior who has demonstrated miraculous strength throughout his life.

Some of the living saints, after being killed and saved by the power of the Emperor, reawakened on the battlefield to bring victory to the Empire. And there are also living saints who are naturally powerful and sacred.

Only a handful of living saints have been confirmed for thousands of years, but all of them are widely revered within the Empire.

Before a person can be declared a living saint, an electoral council consisting of a court and the Imperial Church must affirm the person's qualifications and purity and confirm the validity of the declaration.

And the current leader of the Raven Star is such a living saint with official certification.
