As one of the main production worlds of warships of the Imperial Navy, the importance of the Hyok Star is unquestionable. How could an imperial world as important as Yang lack protection measures.

The base of the ring that circles around the Dawn Furnace is not just factories and shipyards. Space orbital defense platforms, ion cannon batteries, and many other space stations are scattered around the Dawn Furnace Star.

The large number of giant planetary defense cannons and numerous planetary defense artillery crews placed on the Star Ring base is enough to turn any enemy fleet of Dawn Furnace into recyclable materials in space.

And the tens of thousands of space fighters in the carrier-based aircraft hangar will never let those small enemy ships that pass through the fire net hurt Xiaolu Star in the slightest.

Dawn Furnace is a steel fortress in space, and you can't expect to break through its defenses without thousands of warships.

And now, a lone battleship is heading towards this

The "Iron Fortress" advances. On the ship, after receiving orders from the Living Saint and informing his company members, Eric grabbed his psionic staff and walked towards the ship's teleportation deck in full gear.

The Yang Battleship is about to enter the spaceport of the Dawn Furnace Star Ring Base. Although he was about to arrive safely at Akaro, Eric knew they weren't here to have a friendly exchange, wearing power armor and wielding a psionic staff.

He didn't know how strong Inquisitor O'Nell was in control of the military power of Akaro, and if they clashed with O'Neel, no one knew where the officers of the Astral Army and the Imperial Navy would be on.

Eric's mind kept flashing through the images of those powerful space defenses, and if these weapons were fired, there was no way to escape with a single battleship.

Gradually, however, the appearance of the space defenses in Eric's mind was gradually replaced by the figure of Debra, a living saint armed with a giant sword.

"Huh." Eric shook his head, stopping his useless thoughts, choosing to trust in the power and arrangement of the Living Saint.

He just had to do what the living saint commanded. Yang but as he made his way to the teleportation deck, Eric glanced out the window at the space defenses.

The powerful weapons that these empires have built at great cost have little defense against the invasion of demons, nor do they have any resistance to the corruption of Chaos.

It's touching that the warriors of the Empire now have to worry about whether these weapons will be aimed at them.

······ Didn't the Empire take into account the possibility of an enemy bypassing the space defenses or teleporting directly to the Dawn Furnace?

Of course not. Dawn once had a moon, Crag. Yang was once a moon rich in resources, but in order to build the Star Ring Base, the resources on this planet were exploited and utilized by the Empire.

It was then moved by the Empire from the planetary orbit of Dawn to the orbit of another planet in the Livingston system.

It is used by the Eighth Legion as its own fortress world, that is, the Space Marine Legion of Eric and Fayette.

Part of the Eighth Legion's armory and dockyard were located on this moon, and they built fortresses and monasteries on Crag Rock to train new Space Marines.

These monasteries are powerful fortresses with many houses of worship and confessions, displays of various relics and important facilities, defended by numerous protective force fields, numerous laser cannon arrays and missile silos, and ground defenses.

Only the most daring and mindless outlaws would dare to covet the world where the Space Marines are stationed. In addition to defending their legion's world from any external threats, Space Marines will also protect the security of nearby systems or sectors.

This is one of their tasks. If an enemy invades Akaro, the Space Marines on Crag Rock will definitely come to their aid and strike hard.

With the protection of Space Marines, the powerful weapons facilities on the Star Ring Base and a large number of space turrets, the security measures of Dawn Furnace are almost watertight.

But as it happens, in response to Tyranny's threat, most of the Livingston system has been relocated to the edge of the Empire's borders, and almost all of the Space Marines have gone to the front lines of the battle against Tyranny.

And the demons directly

The "Open Door" invasion of Dawn Furnace renders those powerful weapons useless. It is impossible for a defensive platform in space to directly bombard the demons on the ground, otherwise before the demons are all destroyed, Xiaolu Star should be in the records of the Empire

"Casting the world" becomes

"Dead World". Those weapons in space are not weapons that should be used for ground support, they are too powerful, and they will injure 800 enemies and 8,000 themselves in a single shot.

However, Xiaoluxing, which could not be put into use with space defense weapons and did not have too many troops stationed, had already cleared out the demons and Chaos cultists on its planet before the Living Saints cleared the Raven Star, and even began to prepare supplies to support other imperial worlds in the galaxy.

What made Akaru so quick to deal with the demon invasion, even faster than Raven with the help of a living saint?

Could it be that at this time, the inquisitor of the Demon Inquisition, who led the military power of the Dawn Furnace Star, was more powerful than a living saint?

Of course not. Although Oonell's vast knowledge of anti-demons has provided extraordinary help to the Imperial forces on Dawn Furnace, his leadership has also made the Imperial forces more effective with half the effort.

But the main reason why Xiaoluxing was able to solve the crisis of the demon invasion in this way was that he was rich.

There is a lot of money, there is an untold amount of money. Numerous Imperial Coins are stored in vaults throughout the Star of Dawn and the Star Ring base.

The Imperial Coins in these vaults invisibly shelter the Dawn Furnace itself. Demons appeared frequently on the Raven Star, many of the people of the empire were corrupted by the power of chaos, and a huge subspace rift opened in the sky, as if it wanted to swallow the entire planet.

However, the number of demons that appear on the planet is very few compared to its Raven, and the most numerous enemies on the planet are those humans who have fallen into the arms of Chaos.

And even the number of these people corrupted by Chaos is pitifully small compared to Raven. The demons of the Yang invasion of Dawn Furnace have also been suppressed in this imperial world, and their power is far inferior to that of their fellow demons on other planets.

Before these demons invaded, the power of the emperor had already blessed the stars of Xiaolu. And after the invasion of these demons, the warriors of the empire can borrow these

"Emperor Coins" to perform exorcisms. Fayette was able to kill a Chaos Demon with nine Emperor Coins, and it was a killing that made the Chaos Demon powerless.

It is not difficult to understand why the warriors on Akalu were able to clear the chaotic forces on Akalu so quickly.

And the reason why Xiaoluxing has so many imperial coin reserves has to mention the impact of manufacturing on economic growth.

Balabala ······ Therefore, Xiaoluxing did not work for the empire in vain. The empire will give a shipbuilding order to Xiaoluxing

"Money". And this money is currently the only universal currency designated by the empire for large-scale interstellar trade

"Emperor Coins". Yang Xiao Furnace Star uses these Emperor Coins to convert them into local currency and pay workers, or trade with other Imperial Worlds or Ronin Traders in interstellar trade, buy various goods to sell in the mega malls on the Star Ring Base, and so on.

And, due to the many ports and convenient logistics system at the Ring base, almost all of the interstellar trade in the Livingston system takes place at the Ring base on Dawn Furnace.

By moving all of the shopping and trading facilities to the Ring base, Imperial Worlds can conduct business better and more efficiently than ever before.

The interstellar trade in the Livingston system is concentrated on the Dawn Furnace Star and is used for interstellar trade settlement

Of course, the "Emperor Coins" are also concentrated on the Dawn Furnace Star. That's why there are so many Imperial Coins in the Star of Dawn.

Any significant imperial world, whether for political, economic, cultural, or manufacturing reasons, would be concentrated in these worlds as currency.

And because of the Emperor Coins, these important worlds are more protected by the Emperor than other worlds.

Yang ······ Eric made his way to the teleportation deck, where hundreds of Space Marines were already waiting in full gear.

They will accompany the Living Saint to the Dawn Furnace to meet with Oonel. However, according to the orders of the living saints, they did not take transport vehicles such as transport ships and landing crafts, but came to the teleportation deck in full gear.

Eric felt that it was less like a visit and more like a ...... A decapitation. Yes, like a pre-war preparation for a decapitation operation.

The battleship drove over the enemy planet, then the warriors teleported to the enemy's belly, and dozens of Space Marine squads scattered in search of the opposing commander's decapitation operation.

Yang is one of the most common strategies used by most Space Marines when facing enemies.

"We're ready, Company Commander Eric!" A Space Marine walks up to Eric and reports to him.

Eric nodded and said, "Wait for the next order of the Living Saint." ”

"Yes." Just as Eric was about to join the soldier with his company, he noticed a soldier entering another hatch.

It's Fayette. He glanced at the warriors standing together on the teleportation deck, and instead of approaching them, he found a corner of his own to stay aside.

Seeing Faette like this, Eric frowned and walked towards him. yang

"Faette, they were all once your soldiers, and they understood your situation." Faette, who was standing in the corner, raised his head, looked at Eric who walked in front of him and said, "Hello, Company Commander Eric. ”

"Fayette!" Eric's brow furrowed even deeper, and he yelled at his brother in front of him.

“... Sorry, Eric. Eric glanced at the Space Marines on the other side, then turned to Fayette and said, "The saint asked you to follow her to protect your soul, not to think that you are incompetent as a company commander. ”

"They always thought you were a qualified company commander." Eric pointed to the warriors to the side.

"I know." Fayette sighed,

"I don't have any resentment against the saints, or the brothers who used to fight." yang

"I don't have any problem with the saint asking you to perform the duties of the company commander in my place, and I know that no one is more suitable than you."

"And you...?" Fayette rested one hand on the chainsaw axe at his waist, and he said solemnly: "As the saint said, this is a dangerous force, although I temporarily control it with the help of the emperor and the holy son, I still cannot take it lightly. ”

"And ......," Fayette said, with a hint of pain on his face.

"I still can't forget the image when I swung my tomahawk at Randeep and at you."

"I don't care, and I'm sure Randeep they won't either. As I said earlier, we know that you were at a loss. ”

"But I care, Eric." Fayette said, staring into Eric's eyes. Eric saw the power of anger in the depths of Fayette's eyes.

"I am indeed an incompetent company commander, and I swung my weapon at my brother!" Yang watched Fayette's emotions grow agitated, and Eric motioned for him to calm down.

"I'm sorry." Fayette took a few deep breaths and calmed down.

"You see, that's why I didn't go and stand with them. I don't want to taste that pain a second time. Just as Eric was about to say something to Fayette, the Living Saint descended onto the teleportation deck, surrounded by Imperial officers and members of the Anglican.

This forced Eric to give up on persuading Faette, who summoned the Space Marines and then came to the Living Saint to await her instructions.

"We might have a fight, get ready!" The Living Saint's words were short and powerful, and Eric and the warriors, who had already been mentally prepared, immediately replied to her.

yang

"Let's go!" Eric turned, ready to let the warriors board the teleportation platform while the technicians positioned themselves according to the orders of the living saint.

But before it could all begin, a crack in subspace swallowed him and the Space Marines.

With a wave of his little hand, the Living Saint tore open the veil between the real space and the subspace. The Great Rift wasn't just what made the demons more powerful.

For a moment, Eric felt lost and thrown into a distant subspace.

But after a strange sensation, a dazzling light brought Eric and his warriors back to the real world from the subspace, and their destination was reached.

The light in front of them dissipated slowly, putting them at risk of being attacked by the enemy at any time, still in a dazzled and half-blind state.

Eric picked up his staff and nervously prepared for battle, but the attack did not happen. Wisps of intense subspace energy distorted and dissipated, bringing the Living Saints and Space Marines to the Dawn Furnace.
