Before the Death Guard under the command of the Demon Primarch, Mortarion, could react, the Scourge, emitting the aura of cold and death, descended from the sky like raindrops, performing a magnificent spectacle of a single person breaking through the atmosphere and performing an orbital airdrop, which had never happened in this universe before.
Yes, you read that right, it is a single-person orbital airborne landing, and there is no protective equipment, landing capsule or landing craft.
Lich King Jaina directly released her frost power, wrapping her subordinates in a layer of crystal clear white ice, which not only successfully offset the high temperature generated by friction with the air during rapid descent, but also produced a violent impact at the moment of landing, causing splash and ultra-low temperature damage to surrounding enemies.
The moment the bombing ended, the Scourge Army descended from the sky and directly cut off and surrounded the enemies on the battlefield for hundreds of kilometers, and then annihilated them on the spot at an unimaginable speed.
They don't even need to rush directly towards those sturdy fortresses and fortresses, let alone charge under dense firepower. They just need to teleport the jars filled with the plague into the enemy's most densely populated area and detonate them.
It won't be long before these enemies, covered in sores, rotten flesh and stench, will suddenly die within a few seconds, and then their corpses will be forcibly pulled up and transformed into part of the army of death.
Compared with Nurgle's biological army, Lich King Jaina's death army is obviously superior.
Not only that!
Under the dual effects of elemental magic and death magic, the broken corpses and incomplete rotten flesh on the battlefield gathered together at a speed visible to the naked eye to form giants several meters high, which could often crush a Chaos Astartes warrior with one foot.
In addition, these Nurgle legions never expected that they would be attacked from above, and were busy clearing out the human empire defenders on the planet. In less than an hour and a half, they completely collapsed.
The number of the Scourge Legion expanded several times more through this efficient killing.
The Death Knights of various appearances also simply upgraded their power mechas and supporting weapons scattered on the battlefield, slightly modified them and put them directly on themselves.
The spellcasting units transformed from psychics and demons directly used small, fast and maneuverable spaceships, and made use of the devices used by the Nurgle army to spread the plague to spread the even more terrifying magical plague in reverse.
Thus, in the eyes of the human empire's defenders, a horrifying scene appeared that they would never forget.
The Nurgle plague, which had originally brought itself to collapse, fell into deathly silence in the face of these unknown and more terrifying new plagues. Billions of zombies and demons that jumped out of the warp fell down in large numbers and turned into corpses. Then the corpses would "come back to life" and join the Undead Scourge to launch a frenzied attack on their previous friendly forces.
The tension and fear of not knowing whether the comrades around you will suddenly become enemies in the next second made even the humans watching the battle feel their scalps tingling.
Because this is completely beyond their understanding and is even more frightening than the large-scale invasion of the Tyranids.
After all, the Zerg simply plunders, devours, and then reproduces and expands continuously.
But what about these undead creatures that suddenly appeared from nowhere?
They have overturned everything related to biological science in terms of physiological structure and form of existence.
Through more than a dozen detection devices including thermal imaging, the only thing humans know is that the flesh and blood of these undead are not active at all, but are driven by some unknown energy.
Some undead have even begun to evolve the terrifying ability to merge with tanks, gunboats, and various vehicles and manipulate them to fight.
Obviously, as the Scourge continues to grow, the projection of the Lich King Jaina in the Warp is becoming more and more powerful, and the undead creatures under her command are beginning to continuously generate new powers.
This is also one of the biggest features of the universe.
In particular, the growing power of death, like a stream of icy black smoke, constantly devours the filth created by Nurgle's invasion of the real universe.
Whenever Jaina completed the massacre and transformation of Nurgle's army on a planet, the plague, corruption and poison that were everywhere on the entire planet would disappear.
Instead, there was a desolation and coldness that could not be described in words.
The priests of the Mechanicus believe that the Scourge is some kind of powerful artificial intelligence technology, while the Astartes warriors believe that it is an infighting among the Chaos Gods of the Warp.
But no matter what, no one would think that this was the Imperial reinforcements from Terra, so the humans not only did not relax their vigilance, but instead paid close attention to the situation on the battlefield.
But what they didn't know was that at the same time as the airborne and ground operations began, another battle had already begun far away in space.
Relying on powerful mass teleportation magic, Lich King Jaina personally led the team to launch a boarding operation against the Nurgle fleet docked near the satellite of this planet.
Countless undead creatures, connected by the portal, rushed into the cabins of space battleships like a tide, and engaged in a brutal fight to the death in the narrow passages. Every second, large amounts of cannon fodder on both sides were wiped out in the fierce battle.
Especially the opponent's flagship, a super-giant ship built in the solar system during the Great Crusade - the Glorious Queen-class battleship. It is like a floating city in space. Its length alone is over 30 kilometers. The densely packed turrets, torpedo tubes, and tentacles, cysts and rotten flesh grown by Nurgle make it look extremely huge and bloated.
A nuclear-powered aircraft carrier that is three or four hundred meters long is not even as big as the barrel of a main gun in front of this space behemoth.
Therefore, the size of its internal space and its high level of complexity are completely beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Sometimes a boarding battle can last for weeks or even months.
Of course, the boarding combat here is completely different from the Age of Discovery when two wooden sailing ships were brought together and the sailors used ropes and hooks to jump onto the other side's deck for hand-to-hand combat.
And it's not like they have nothing better to do than to use long-range firepower instead of using this primitive and backward method.
Quite the opposite!
Boarding warfare is a tactic that is inevitably derived after the defense system develops to a certain level.
Apart from anything else, the void shields used by humans themselves can significantly reduce the damage caused by long-range firepower.
During the Horus Heresy, the void shields above the Imperial Palace on Terra withstood the orbital bombardment of the rebel fleet for a long period of time.
As for the war with other races...
It cannot be said that it is completely useless, but it is better than nothing.
The human fleet wants to engage in long-range shooting against the Necrons, who possess the most powerful technology in the physical universe?
I'm afraid he doesn't even know how he died.
The Bloody Hundred Days and the Battle of Amara have proven that these bastards can pin humans to the ground and rub them repeatedly in long-range fire exchanges.
The Orks are just the opposite. They will drive a shabby battleship with the "Power of My Thoughts" and "WAAAGH Force Field" that makes it immune to all long-range attacks right in front of you, and start boarding and raiding you without saying a word.
In the fight against the forces of Chaos, Khorne and Slaanesh can still play a role.
But do you dare to operate the ship's fire control system when facing Tzeentch? Electronic Demons will let you know in a minute what the unreasonable rule power of the Warp Evil God is.
An explosion like the explosion of a gunpowder depot was considered a minor incident. If things went wrong, the guns might have just been turned around and started shelling friendly forces.
Khorne simply has amazing protection against long-range killing weapons, and even the damage caused to it by the super fortress cannons on the walls of Terra is minimal.
The Eldar used Webway teleportation, and before the human fleet could break the solid shield, the entire enemy fleet disappeared.
As for the Tyranids, although the long-range firepower of the space fleet played a certain supporting role, the real decision of victory or defeat was still the meat-grinder-style defensive battle on the ground, where the Tyranids were forced to fight until they felt they were losing money and then they voluntarily retreated.
It is possible that large-scale fleet long-range shooting will only occur when the Human Empire is quelling an internal rebellion, or dealing with the Tau people whose technological level is far inferior to that of humans.
Since the fleet's long-range weapons are so useless, the Empire must of course give full play to its own advantages.
So what is the most powerful advantage of the human empire?
Of course, it is the endless human resources and powerful Astartes Space Marines.
Therefore, boarding warfare naturally came into being.
As early as the Great Crusade, each warship was equipped with special boarding combat troops so that they could break into the enemy ship and carry out decapitation operations when necessary.
However, unlike the boarding operations of the Human Empire which relied on the powerful combat capabilities of the Astartes warriors, the boarding operations of the Lich King Jaina were more bizarre and dangerous.
As a talented wizard, her attainments in the field of teleportation magic can be said to have reached the pinnacle.
In addition, the Helm of Domination can accurately control every undead creature and observe the surrounding situation through their eyes. In theory, Lich King Jaina can lead the elite death knights around her to teleport to every area where the Scourge army arrives on the entire battleship.
This means that enemies who want to use the complex space and terrain inside the warship to block the enemy step by step will often find themselves in the dilemma of being attacked from both sides.
As the supreme commander of the 4th Plague Company among the seven companies of the Death Guard Legion, the "Mind Eater" is a high-level demon from the Warp.
At this moment, he was standing in the command room of the bridge, watching his once invincible army being beaten back through the electronic displays that had been corroded by filthy flesh and blood but were still working properly, his face full of shock and disbelief.
This guy simply couldn't believe that the plague power bestowed upon him by the great and benevolent father Nurgle was wiped out by a group of undead exuding the breath of death. It had no effect at all from beginning to end.
Even more terrifying was the fact that thousands of Chaos Astartes Legions and demons summoned from the Warp were dying in large numbers, and then being pulled up by the enemy to join the vast army of the dead.
Especially the elusive Jaina, who made the Mind Eater feel the aura of the Warp that was almost the same as or even more powerful than the demon primarch, Mortarion.
Just as the high-level demon was hesitating about how to respond, a biting chill suddenly spread throughout the bridge.
The next second...
He turned around suddenly and saw that the Lich King Jaina had opened a portal at some point and led her death knights to jump over half of the battleship and kill her way in.
Over forty Chaos Astartes warriors reacted immediately, pulling out their chainsaw swords covered in pus and rotten flesh and trying to stop these dangerous enemies.
Others even pulled the trigger frantically, wanting to shoot the biological bomb carrying plague and disease into the body of the white-haired woman in front of them.
Unfortunately, all these attacks were in vain.
The armor made of Saronite blocked all attacks effortlessly, and even the chain mail that was worn on the inside like a tights was not damaged at all.
On the contrary, many of the chainsaw swords were broken due to this collision.
"My Frostmourne is hungry!"
With a terrifying blue light flashing in her eyes, Jaina raised the artifact and unleashed the terrifying power of the rune sword.
moment!
An invisible energy field spread out from her center.
In just a few seconds, the coldness that transcended the flesh swept through the souls of everyone present, freezing them one by one in place.
Warp energy? The Mind Eater instantly felt something was wrong and tried desperately to break free from control, but in the end it was useless, even praying to his master, the benevolent father Nurgle, was of no avail.
The only thing he could do was to watch the Lich King Jaina wield Frostmourne, killing all the Chaos Astartes, demons, and plague wizards in the entire bridge, and then tearing apart their souls and transforming them into undead without any life characteristics.
After all the remaining Nurgle forces in the entire bridge were slaughtered and transformed, Jaina walked gracefully to the demon, used the sharp tip of her sword to pry open the opponent's pockmarked skin and the rotting and smelly body from the inside, pursed her lips and said meaningfully: "What should I transform you into? A spreader of the Scourge? Or fully tap your talent in the Warp to become a lich?"
"You...what the hell are you?"
The Heart Eater slowly lowered his head through his soul control neck that had been frozen to the point of being unable to move, and stared at the armored human woman standing in front of him.
When the two were close to each other, he could even clearly feel the other's death projection in the warp, which was completely opposite to the vitality of Nurgle.
How terrible! How blasphemous! Such a cold death without a cycle is simply a naked provocation and insult to the loving father! If he could move, this Nurgle demon would definitely pounce on him without hesitation and try to strangle him.
But unfortunately, the Lich King Jaina is too powerful, so powerful that only the demon primarch, Mortarion, is qualified to fight her.
"My name is Jaina Proudmoore, but I prefer to be called the Lich King. As you can see, I now represent the purest form of death."
As the last word came out of his mouth, Frostmourne instantly pierced through the heart of this high-level demon.
A large amount of yellow-green viscos liquid like bile splashed everywhere and was directly frozen into disgusting turbid ice flowers in mid-air.
"No!!!!!!!"
Feeling that his soul was being torn apart by a terrifying force, the Mind Eater suddenly let out a shrill scream.
Because all those who surrender to the Chaos God, whether they are demons or other races, their souls are deeply bound to the subspace.
This means that when Frostmourne begins to devour souls, they will be under the double pull of the rune sword and the evil god of the warp at the same time.
Unless the evil god is willing to expend more of his own power, or simply descends into an incarnation like Khorne, it will be possible to take away the souls of his believers intact.
Otherwise, there is a high probability that you will be torn in half alive.
Half of them will be taken away by the evil god, and the other half will be completely devoured by the power of death, becoming undead creatures with only broken souls.
But unfortunately, in Nurgle's mind, the Mind Eater was obviously far from being strong enough for him to take action personally, so after a brief struggle, his soul was instantly split into two halves.
Half of it disappeared in the violent disturbance of the subspace, and the other half was transformed on the spot into a hideous and terrifying undead monster holding a huge bone sickle, like the god of death.
"Not bad! Much better than I expected."
Jaina's proud face showed a satisfied expression, and then she ordered all the undead in the bridge without turning back: "In the name of the Lich King! I order all resistance forces on this battleship to be wiped out immediately, and all living things to be killed."
In a flash!
All these newly transformed high-level undead directly pulled down the originally closed hatches and rushed out to launch a sneak attack from behind on the Nurgle army that was still resisting.
It wasn't long before the entire fleet was completely destroyed in such continuous boarding operations.
Since the warships distorted by Nurgle had long since changed from pure technological creations to half-flesh and blood living bodies, Jaina unceremoniously converted the living part into undead in order to better control the warships. At the same time, she opened a portal and ordered the undead creatures on the ground that had completed their goals to return to the warships and lead the new Scourge towards the next target.
Her goal is simple: to chase Nurgle along the outer planets of Ultramar.
Nurgle attacked the human empire's colonial satellites, spreading plagues that infected tens of billions and hundreds of billions of civilians. The Scourge strengthened itself by killing these half-dead zombies.
However, what the Lich King Jaina did not know was that after she destroyed the 4th Company of the Death Guard Legion and its fleet, her actions had attracted the attention of the demon primarch, Mortarion.
After all, the entire Death Guard Corps only had seven companies after it defected to the forces of Chaos.
Moreover, the 4th Company is the absolute main force whose combat effectiveness is second only to the 1st Company. This can be seen from the fact that they own a Queen of Glory-class battleship.
You should know that this kind of warship was usually used as the flagship of each Primarch and his Astartes Legion during the Great Crusade.
One of them was the Endurance, piloted by Mortarion himself.
But now, this powerful army was easily and quickly completely annihilated on an unknown marginal planet.
You know, even if Robert Guilliman himself led the main force of the Imperial Navy, it would probably be impossible to achieve such a terrifyingly brilliant record in such a short period of time.
"What happened?"
Mortarion sat on the rotten and decayed throne of the "Endurance" with a puzzled expression on his face.
Now he is no longer the descendant of the human emperor, but has embraced the essence of the subspace. Not only has huge moth-like wings grown behind him, but his whole body exudes deadly green poison gas. Even his originally shiny power armor is rusted, and his entire face is rotten beyond recognition, and you can vaguely see the bones under the rotten flesh.
It could no longer be described as disfigured; it simply looked like a rotten corpse that had been buried underground for at least several months.
Any normal person with mental and psychological health would never allow himself to become like this, no matter what benefits and power Nurgle promised.
But Mortarion clearly didn't care at all.
Mortarion believed that this change was a blessing, proof that he was the closest thing to his father, the embodiment of Death.
"Do you need me to lead a company to investigate near the planet where the incident occurred?"
A Chaos Death Guard stepped forward and asked his Primarch Father.
Mortarion shook his head slightly: "No, it is not necessary.
Because this force is elusive and never stays on any planet for too long, it will quickly disappear after its attack.
Moreover, I have received accurate information that my good brother Robert Guilliman has left Terra and may be on his way to Ultramar.
He is the main target of our operation.
By the way, what is Great Unclean One Ku'gath busy with recently? "
The Death Guard answered without hesitation, "I heard that he is plotting to destroy the hospital planet Aix, but he has not revealed how he is going to do it."
"Aix?"
Hearing this name, Mortarion's eyes revealed naked and undisguised disgust.
Because in this long tug-of-war, this planet dedicated to curing plague infections and various diseases is simply a thorn in his eyes, and its existence itself is a blasphemy and insult to his kind father Nurgle.
If the planet was not out of reach in the rear, they would have invaded it and flooded the entire surface of the planet with plague, making the Human Empire pay the price for its arrogance and conceit.
"Yes, it's Aix. It is said that the Great Unclean One has been planning for a long time to achieve this goal. He seems to be very confident."
The Death Guard told everything he knew.
Although they are all generals under Nurgle, they are not affiliated with each other, and occasionally fight for more favor from their father.
So even though Mortarion, Typhas, and Ku'gath are all doing things around Ultramar, each of them has his own ideas and plans. Not only will they not support each other, they may even hold each other back occasionally.
Among them, the relationship between Mortarion and Typhas is the most complicated. The latter is the former's adoptive father and also the culprit who caused the former's corruption.
Normally, wherever Typhas was, Mortarion would stay away from him.
This is also one of the main reasons why the defenders of the 500 Worlds of Ultramar have been able to hold out until now in the face of such a powerful enemy.
Hearing the report from his men, Mortarion grinned with contempt and said in an almost mocking tone: "Let us wait and see what this Great Unclean One can do. I hope the final result will not disappoint our kind father Nurgle."
…
At the same time, far away in another distant star region.
The fleet led by Imperial Regent Robert Guilliman has arrived safely at the original combat area as planned.
As a mature and steady politician and legion commander, he was well aware of the importance of speed in war, so he did not give the enemy any time to breathe and began to issue combat orders in an orderly manner.
After a while, the huge fleet began to disperse and launched an all-round attack on more than two hundred star systems in the main area.
Tens of thousands of Astartes warriors, servitors, tanks, armored vehicles, knight mechas, Titan mechas, etc. were continuously dispatched to the ground.
Those who attempted to occupy this important waterway point, whether they were the Aliens, Zerg, Orks, Tau, or the Chaos forces from the Warp of Khorne, Tzeentch and Slaanesh, all tasted the iron fist of the Human Empire.
Especially the super-enhanced magic mecha provided by Zuo Si, its performance completely surpasses the Titan mecha, and once it breaks into the enemy cluster, it will immediately enter the invincible mode.
Just two big feet can crush thousands of targets into a pulp.
The subspace energy lightning, flames, molten rays, and dissociation rays emitted from the weapons are like a web of death, which will quickly and efficiently eliminate any unlucky person who tries to get close.
In just less than an hour, the number of enemies killed by the twenty magic mechas reached a terrifying astronomical number.
Wherever these giant magical machines passed, there were horrifying mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
The most important thing is that unlike the easily damaged Titan mecha, the magic mecha not only has a constant force field protection shield, but also its internal structure is simple and durable. After such a long time of fierce fighting, not a single one of them broke down or had any problems.
"It's an excellent weapon of war, isn't it?"
The Imperial Regent couldn't help but sigh as he watched the battle scenes transmitted back from the front lines in real time.
"Yes! If we could have one thousand or even five hundred of these divine machines, the entire galaxy would tremble before us."
Another staff officer and commander nearby also nodded in agreement.
You should know that in many battles in the history of the empire, often one hundred Titan mechas were enough to play a key role in determining victory or defeat.
Many times, only a few Titan mechs and an Astartes company are needed to uproot the alien civilization on a planet. This shows the power of these big guys.
Hearing his subordinate's speech, Robert Guilliman couldn't help but teased in a half-joking tone: "One thousand? Five hundred? You are really too greedy.
You have to know that these powerful war machines are not built by ourselves.
Instead, it was provided by an ally of mysterious origin but very friendly.
Although I am not sure about the exact output, it will definitely not be too high.
In contrast, it is those single-person mechas that can enhance psychic power that can provide our Astartes regiments with more tactical options."
“Your Excellency, compared to these conventional weapons, I am more interested in the star destroyer cannon that was just installed on the flagship.
You have to know that if the Empire wants to destroy a planet now, it will probably take a long time to burn through the core of the earth using laser weapons.
This gun is said to be able to reduce a planet to ashes within five seconds.
To be honest, I have strong doubts about this.
If it is not tested in actual combat, I am afraid that not many people will believe its power."
Another female officer suggested as she looked out the window at the crystal clear barrel of the gun.
Her words instantly aroused the curiosity of everyone around her, and they all petitioned to show off the new main gun to everyone.
Some guys even found a target for testing their artillery, which was a desolate planet occupied by Orks.
As we all know, the Orks in the Warhammer world are the most powerful orcs in the entire multiverse.
They are something between animals and plants, created by the Ancients as biological weapons to fight against the Necrons and Star Gods, and reproduce through spores.
As long as the hair and skin of any orc falls into the soil, it won't be long before the seeds begin to take root and sprout, popping out of the ground like mushrooms and turning into eggs, and the orcs are hatched from the eggs.
This means that even if you kill all the orcs on a planet, you will not be able to clean up the spores they drop into the soil.
It won’t be long before a new group of orcs will emerge on the planet, and this cycle will continue endlessly.
What’s even more terrible is that although orcs can replenish nutrients and maintain life by eating, if they have nothing to eat, they can also carry out photosynthesis like plants.
No matter how barren the land is, how harsh the living environment is, or even if there is no food at all, it will never affect their reproduction speed.
It can even be said that apart from the Tyranids, even the galactic overlords, humans, cannot compare with the Orks in terms of reproduction speed.
In addition, the orcs, as biological weapons, also have a complete technological template in their genes.
As long as they fight a few battles with their opponents, their technological level can evolve directly from the Stone Age to the Age of Thermal Weapons within a few weeks. The famous "power of thinking" can create all kinds of things that amaze other races in a completely unscientific way.
From small guns that you can hold in your hands, to space battleships that look like they are built with building blocks and seem like they will fall apart at any time, no matter what you can think of or not, the orcs can build them all for you.
So if orcs appear on a planet, there are usually only two options.
One is to station an army of considerable size on this planet. As long as there are signs of large-scale orc activities, they will immediately and decisively attack to eliminate them. If they appear again, they will be eliminated again. This cycle will be repeated so that the orcs will never be able to form a large scale.
The other option is to simply evacuate, stay as far away as possible, and avoid being involved in an endless war with the orcs.
When the Tau first began to expand outward, they encountered the Orks and were nearly beaten to the point of becoming autistic and questioning their lives.
In a way, the Orcs and the Tyranids are actually a perfect match.
The latter does not need to conquer and devour creatures on more planets, but only needs to raise orcs in the places they occupy.
This pair of people, one can eat and the other can give birth, complement each other perfectly.
Therefore, in the eyes of the top leaders of the human empire, nothing could be more suitable than using a planet inhabited by a large number of orcs to test the star destroyer cannon.
Looking at the pairs of expectant eyes around him, Robert Guilliman, who was always very good at catering to other people's ideas, immediately went with the flow and said with a smile: "Since you all want to try it, let the main gun start charging. I also want to see how shocking this weapon that can destroy a planet in an instant is."
As the order came from the Imperial Regent, everyone on the flagship began to get busy.
The main gunner, in particular, quickly began to calibrate the direction and aim at the planet locked on the probe. He even had beads of sweat on his forehead due to nervousness.
He had heard of the power of the star destroyer long ago, so he couldn't imagine how serious the consequences would be if one parameter went wrong and hit other planets or friendly forces.
After checking and correcting it ten times, the main gunner stood up and saluted to indicate that his work was completed.
Robert Guilliman nodded slightly and ordered in a leisurely tone: "Fire!"
"Main gun fire!"
With an almost roaring sound, a button flashing a blinding red light was pressed directly.
The next second...
Everyone saw that the crystal-clear gun barrel outside began to emit white light that was a thousand or ten thousand times brighter than the sun, so bright that people could not open their eyes.
Immediately afterwards, a beam of white light that illuminated the surrounding dark universe shot straight towards the location of the target planet.
Just one strike! The huge planetary core was pierced on the spot, and then a huge amount of energy was instantly released in an explosive manner, tearing the planet into pieces. The subspace storm formed by the aftermath swallowed up everything around it.
The Orcs who were building spaceships on the planet ascended into space collectively on the spot.
Such terrifying power made not only the officers on the flagship but even the Imperial Regent Robert Guilliman stand up from his chair, his eyes revealing unconcealable shock and disbelief.
Because of such a violent release of subspace energy, even if it hit a Primarch like him, there is a high probability that he would die on the spot.
Moreover, this kind of subspace energy cannot be resisted by the void shield at all.
If there were a dozen or twenty super battleships equipped with such main guns, Robert Guilliman would be able to launch another Great Crusade and make the entire galaxy submit to the Empire's fleet.
Even those Warp demons and Primarchs who defected to the Chaos Gods would suffer the consequences.
"God Emperor! This... this is truly an unimaginable power!"
The female officer who had previously proposed testing the main gun flushed with excitement and spoke incoherently.
Another officer nearby nodded in agreement: "Yes, now we have another trump card in our hands. If we encounter a planet with a large number of enemies next time, completely destroying the entire planet and the enemies together becomes an option."
"I think it's better to use this kind of weapon less. After all, there are not many planets suitable for human habitation in this universe. Destroying one means one less. Once we get used to using it to solve all problems, the consequences will be absolutely catastrophic."
Another staff officer offered a different view.
After all, human technology has not yet developed to the point where it can create planets or even stars. Protecting every habitable planet is actually protecting the future development of the empire.
Just as everyone was arguing about the star destroyer cannon, an astropath suddenly walked in from outside, went straight to the Imperial Regent and whispered a few words.
moment!
Robert Guilliman's expression became extremely serious, and he asked in a low voice: "Are you sure this information is correct? Is there something wrong with your understanding?"
"Yes, I am quite sure of it. Because I was not the only one who received this signal. All three astropaths gave the same interpretation."
The astropath, who had a bald head and whose eyes were obviously blind and replaced by electronic eyes, answered in the affirmative without hesitation.
Since the essence of astropathic communication is to encrypt the information to be transmitted, then project it into the subspace for broadcast, and then have the receiver intercept it and decrypt and understand it in his own way, errors often occur and the meaning of the interpretation is even completely opposite to the original one.
In addition, some broadcast information may be intercepted by evil cult wizards and priests of chaos forces.
Anyway, the astropath, a living information transmission tool, has many problems and defects. Unless there is no other way, no one would be willing to use it.
"A mysterious woman emitting a chilling chill? Specializing in attacks against Nurgle's legions? Refusing to engage with the emissaries we sent?"
Robert Guilliman muttered to himself as he quickly activated his super brain to think about the possible conspiracy behind the whole thing.
Needless to say, the news sent by the Astropath was nothing but the recent actions of Lich King Jaina and her Scourge.
"Your Excellency the Regent, is this bad news?"
Celestine, the "living saint," asked in an uncertain tone.
If there was anyone in the Imperium who supported the Primarch wholeheartedly, it was her.
After all, as a great demon under the command of the God-Emperor, Robert Guilliman is the undoubted Son of God in Celestine's eyes, and the only one chosen by the God-Emperor to save mankind and the empire.
“No, it’s not bad news.
On the contrary, it is good news.
The armies of Nurgle surrounding Ultramar were recently slaughtered by an unknown creature that resembled a human woman.
Some chapters suspect that she may be a living saint blessed by her father, just like you.
If it's convenient, I hope you can take someone to investigate a little.
But be careful not to irritate the other person even if it's not the case.
After all, she saved quite a few people from the Five Hundred Worlds of Ultramar."
As he spoke these words, Robert Guilliman's tone was serious and solemn.
Because he knew very well that the empire needed allies the most right now, especially allies who had expressed enough goodwill...
