Chapter 53: Preparations
For a devout servant of the Emperor, it was a very distressing thing to see the city overrun by aliens.
After the Greenskins stormed the nest capital on Oster, their wreak began.
The houses where the people lived were invaded, household items were knocked to the ground, and machinery and equipment were violently dismantled and used to make orc weapons of war.
Shop signs are stacked into abstract sculptures of the second brother, merchandise has been looted, street walls have been painted with blasphemous patterns, roads are littered with garbage and smelly green poop, and the city is filled with the sound of smashing.
It was in such a place that Sister Stern of Battle, who had to struggle to suppress the anger in her heart.
She couldn't even imagine what kind of deplorable the local church had become, especially the emperor's icons that people worshipped every day, and how these aliens would be treated.
If he really wanted to see that miserable situation, Stern felt that he would definitely be tempted to kill the greenskins.
"It's all for the ...... of the Empire"
The Battle Nun sighed, only hating herself for not being strong enough to have to use the power of these aliens to reduce human casualties.
The Governor's Palace is the only place on the continent that has not been destroyed by the Greenskins, as the Vimu has designated it as his living place to prevent the orcs from messing around.
At this moment, the vigil was in the meeting hall of the Governor's Palace, discussing the next steps with the inquisitors.
"The core driving force of the swarm is biomass, and if you don't find a way to deplete their biomass, even with the exaggerated replenishment speed of the green skin, you will only end up with a slow death." Inquisitor Cliptman spoke.
He is an expert on the Empire's Tyranny, and his advice will be of great benefit to the plan.
"Swarms are not as easy to recycle biomass as they are in the course of the war, so don't worry too much, and we can turn biomass into forms that are more difficult for them to collect, such as having the greenskins drag the corpses back from the battlefield and grind them into powder and then disperse them into nearby soil, which will not only make it harder for the swarm to absorb the biomass, but also make more green skins in the fertile soil."
Weimu came up with his own solution.
"And what if the greenskins win?" Another Inquisitor, Quipman, asked, "War will liberate their potential, and after such a great battle, they will become even more powerful, and if there are no other enemies around the sector, they will turn their guns on us, and I don't think you can control such a large force of unbeatable greenskins." ”
"Don't worry about this problem, I've already thought of a solution. I'm more worried that some of the biters will force their way into the Empire's territory, and we can't just sit back and relax by hiding behind the greenskins, and our people will have to organize enough defenses. With the exception of Greenskin, a biological weapon created by the ancient sages, any other creature knows that persimmons are soft to pick, at least we can't let the swarm look too flat, and don't make it seem like we're a free buffet for them. Wei Mu said.
"On this issue, we can only try to draw forces and resources from the surrounding areas to build a defensive line." Inquisitor Kuipman spoke.
No one had ever seen the full extent of this hive fleet, they only knew that the size of the Leviathan was very large, so no one dared to be optimistic about it.
When the topic was brought to this, everyone present fell silent for a while.
Everyone is thinking about the details that have not been missed.
"Sorry to bother, gentlemen, the evacuation of the local population is now seventy percent complete, and we can free up two more continents for those greenskins."
Stern entered the hall and reported the facts to the crowd.
"Time is still a little slower, and we need the Greenskins to enter the planet's continents as soon as possible to build defenses...... Were there any particular problems that arose during the evacuation? Wei Mu asked.
"Any mass evacuation is going to be problematic, with parents and children being separated, tragic stampedes, people in power who feel superior and want special attention, and mobs storming the ......garrison," Stern said slowly, "and they're probably about to move." ”
"This is also expected by us, after all, it is their only chance to live, but we will ruthlessly strangle them to this slightest opportunity." Wei Mu said with a smile.
In this way, everything is going well.
"So when are you going to evacuate?" Stern asked.
"Me? Evacuate? Wei Mu scratched his head, "I'm sorry, I have to stay here." As you know, for the success of this project, my position in the hearts of the greenskins has been held too high, and if I leave, their chances of defeating the bugs will be greatly reduced. ”
"But that's the Hive Fleet, do you see their huge shadows in subspace, the terrible darkness that seems to swallow everything......"
"I'm not a psyker, how can I see that kind of thing under normal circumstances." Wei Mu waved his hand, obviously having made up his mind and did not plan to talk about this topic again.
"You shouldn't take that risk." Stern insisted.
God knows how severe the situation will be once the battlefield begins.
Just through various literature descriptions, Stern can vaguely understand the horror of the swarm:
"When one enemy is defeated, ten enemies will be replenished immediately."
"There may be more of them than we have for ammunition."
"The shadows created by the swarm can isolate the subspace, and the predated world can't even cry out for help."
But Wei Mu only smiled at this: "I am the Green Prophet, and the green-skinned army led by me will be invincible!" ”
Stern said, "It's just that you're too deep into the play, and the greenskin's search for you has influenced you and made you the ...... you are now Swell. ”
Vi Mu asked rhetorically, "So Sister Stern, when you confront the Emperor's powerful enemy, don't you also challenge the other party with the determination to win?" Should I call this determination inflated? ”
"This ...... This one. ”
"I'm fighting for humanity, not for the greenskins, and I'll never forget that."
Wei Mu's eyes were sharp and his expression was determined, so that Stern had to give up the idea of continuing to persuade him.
"Well, in that case, I'll stay too."
"Are you sure you can put up with a bunch of green-skinned aliens circling around for a long time?" Wei Mu looked at the battle nun in front of him, and the expression on his face was a little subtle.
"For the sake of the emperor, I can endure everything." Stern's eyes were full of piety.
However, Wei Mu just couldn't imagine how Stern, as a woman, should deal with things like washing in such a harsh combat environment.
He didn't dare to ask about the topic either.
"Oh, by the way, do any of you know where the Governor's Palace is located?"
As if he suddenly remembered something, Wei Mu opened his mouth to ask everyone present.
"I know." Inquisitor Cliptelman raised his hand, "What, do you need to print any documents?" ”
"No, it's okay, you can just help lead the way." Wei Mu replied.
He was about to follow the Inquisitor out of the chamber when he was stopped by Stern.
"Are you thinking about that kind of thing again?" Suddenly, the way the Battle Nun spoke was no longer polite, but said in a cold tone.
"Uh...... You see, this war is not a matter of one or two days, and besides, it is still so long before the war, and I can't keep my nerves tense......" Wei Mu said hesitantly.
"So you just want to put your mind to that?" Stern asked sharply.
The conversation between the two confused the inquisitor next to him, and he had no idea what they were talking about.
"Is there something wrong?" Clipperman asked.
Now that the war is imminent, it is not a good thing for one's own people to have conflicts.
"Actually, it's nothing, it's just that I'm preparing a book here, called "The Secret Biography of Asuyan's Harem", I don't know if you're interested in learning about it?"
As if he was a heretic who had drawn people into the pit, Wei Mu recommended it to the inquisitors present.
