Putting aside the matter of supporting Valerian's coup, Horus begins to think about the issue of Sarah Kerrigan, the Blade Queen, who is now in big trouble.

It's hard to deal with the Blade Queen, and the expeditionary force can find her in Char when she's not scurrying around, but it's one thing to find her, it's another to capture her in the hundreds of millions of biters.

Not to mention the fact that they had to deploy the Sarnagar artifact they had collected before on Char and recharge it, which would take a lot of time, and during this time, the swarm would inevitably launch wave after wave of attacks against them.

Char, the insect base in the Koplu Star Zone, this ash world is covered with volcanoes, with giant insect nests and a labyrinthine tunnel system filled with millions of vicious insects.

To make matters worse, there are at least 10 billion alien insects in the entire Charr world, and these beneficial insects make up 150 primary hives and more than 1,000 secondary hives on Char, covering 40% of the planet.

In the past. Both humans and the astral spirits have taken military action against this planet to varying degrees, and although they have achieved some success, in the end, the insects still firmly control the planet and use it as a springboard to attack other planets.

After gaining control of the swarm in the Civil War, the Blade Empress Sarah Kerrigan fought an unparalleled war with the Tyranid Empire's Mind and the Expeditionary Force of the United Earth Council and annihilated the latter, and this war established the Blade Queen's position in the sector.

And now, the human forces of the Tyranid Empire, the Rangers, and the Ash Expeditionary Force have once again launched a special military operation against Char.

In order to ensure that the operation on Char was foolproof, Horus invited Valenrian, Renault and others to his flagship.

Once everyone had arrived, Horus turned on the holographic projection on the conference table, on which the approximate data of the entire Tsar and the surrounding galaxies were marked.

When they saw the number of swarms marked on Char, Renault and the others were taken aback.

"I'm a good girl, so many bugs" Looking at the number of swarms marked on the holographic projection, Tykes exclaimed, more than 10 billion, Tykes may not have eaten so much salt in his life, but they have to fight with so many bugs.

Not to make it worse, Char's surrounding systems are also infested with bugs, as are Leviathans, Behemoths, and smaller insect transports.

"So...... We're going to have to wait for the Sarnagar artifact to recharge under siege with so many bugs. Renault said solemnly.

"I've already assessed the quantity and quality of the swarm near Char, and with the strength of the Rangers and Valerian, it's enough to withstand the swarm at the cost of some casualties." After calling up the specific data, Horus said calmly.

Horus retrieved the topographical analysis data from Char and marked a treacherous terrain.

"What's more, I mobilized 1,500 Space Marines and 20,000 auxiliaries to support you, and with my warriors to support you, it is enough to guard the artifact for 12 hours if you only defend."

In the face of an enemy of the size of tens of billions of swarms, in the past, Horus would usually lead a whole group of tens of thousands of space marines and more auxiliaries and heavy equipment to deal with them, but now the entire Ash Expeditionary Force only has 2,000 space marines, and there is not much Titan-level equipment, and the limited resources make Horus unable to do more.

"So, do you have any questions about the expedition to Char?" Horus asked.

"The first issue we face is air supremacy." Captain Matt Horner of the Hyperion said: "There are a lot of allosaurs and other swarm air units on Char, very, very many, and we can't get full air supremacy, and it is difficult for us to put in all the land forces. ”

"This problem is easy to solve, we only need to seize an area used to build a landing field, as long as the Hydra anti-aircraft artillery and fire base are established, and combined with our warships, it is enough to seize air supremacy."

"And Sarah, her strength is not ordinary, and her spiritual energy fluctuations have reached level twelve." Renault added.

"Hmm, mighty psykers...... Do you mind if she breaks a limb or two? Renault. Horus said without looking up.

"What?" Renaud was a little confused, "No, I mean Sarah, she's strong, better than all the big guys under you." ”

"I know, and I'm strong." Horus glanced up at Renault and continued, "The two teams of Space Marines can still capture her if they work together properly, but I don't mind taking it upon myself to lighten their load." ”

Although Renault knew that Horus's unit called the Space Marines was strong on his own, he had never seen Horus strike, so he didn't know how strong the genetic primordial that had awakened the essence of subspace was.

Although there is some anxiety, but Renault still chooses to trust Horus, since Horus is confident, then he should trust his allies, the expeditionary force's previous series of actions have proved that they are trustworthy.

"Prince Valenrian, will the Empire's fleet be able to support us in time?"

"Admiral Warfield told me that the fleet would depart with you for Charr. He's a veteran of the battlefield, so there's no problem. ”

"There's also the problem of the pit bugs on Char, I used to fight on Char, and the bugs dug a lot of pits there, and if we don't solve these pits, we will be caught off guard." Renault asked a question.

"There is no good solution for these worm paths at the moment, but there are a lot of volcanoes and magma on Char, and when the time comes, go to the field to explore if you can use the lava to flood the worm paths."

"Next ......"

"The problem now is that we need to suppress the number of swarms on Char and reduce casualties. I'm afraid that more specific things will be discussed by Charl. "The decision on the general direction of Char was quickly decided.

But the current situation is also a bit challenging for the Genoplasms, Horus only has one battleship and two light cruisers, plus the fleet of Rangers and the Tyranid Empire, and the land forces are very limited, and their enemies are almost endless.

But luckily they have the Sarnagar artifact, which, according to research by Tyranid Empire scientists and the Cult of the Mechanicus, is capable of releasing energy Nova to clear the bugs near it when it is charged, which is how the artifact transforms Kerrigan back into a human.

After reuniting forces with General Warfield at the rendezvous point, the mighty human fleet flew towards Char, the heart of the swarm.
