There is no doubt that for Zuo Si, defeating and capturing the outsider Saranoga is just the beginning.
Because the biggest challenge is how to take out the countless fragments of Star God from the singularity one by one.
The process is like someone crushing a cookie into crumbs, sucking them into a vacuum cleaner, and then trying to get them out through the suction port.
In terms of the workload and the time and energy required, it is definitely enough to drive 99.99% of people crazy.
But fortunately, there is one biggest feature between the fragments of Star God, that is, like the Stand Messengers, they will attract each other.
As long as there are enough Star God fragments fused together, it will awaken its self-awareness and then find ways to forcibly pull the other fragments out from the singularity.
What Zuo Si needed to do was to piece together several fragments to the minimum size that could absorb other fragments, and then add a few more such large fragments to isolate them.
In this way, even though more and more fragments are sucked out, the strength of each individual fragment is not strong, so there is no need to worry that they will be put together into a complete Star God again.
And as more and more fragments are taken out, the efficiency will increase exponentially.
In just a few months, hundreds of millions of Star God fragments had been placed in a huge stasis field seal according to their numbers.
Vashtor even led his men to conduct a systematic analysis and test of this behemoth without any hesitation, and soon confirmed that this was the complete Saranoga without any omissions.
Subsequently, a large number of forbidden experiments involving the secrets of the Warhammer universe and the origin of the Star Gods began inside an unknown oversized planet.
In order to maintain absolute secrecy, Zuo Si used the power of the Shuo Oil Avatar to drag it to another hyper-dimension between the real universe and the subspace to prevent guys like Tzeentch, Khorne, Slaanesh, Orks, Tyranids, the Chaos warband led by Abaddon, etc. from suddenly jumping out to cause trouble.
In addition, the fragments of the Star Gods that escaped from the captivity of the Necrons are also a big problem.
So to be on the safe side, he directly set up a seal to completely isolate the planet used for experiments from the outside world. Only Vashtor, the Great Demon Judge, had the authority to enter and exit.
No one knows what happened inside.
But when the incarnation of Shuoyou appeared in people's sight again, it was completely different from its previous state.
In particular, all the fragments of the Star God that were previously embedded in his body disappeared without a trace, and were replaced by a kind of energy that flowed in the body to form a complex structure similar to blood vessels and internal organs.
And that energy is exactly the same as the body of the outsider Saranoga when he transformed into a human form, which was like a brilliant starry sky.
"You... devoured that star god?"
Robert Guilliman, who had come all the way from distant Terra, stared at the being in front of him, whose every move caused vibrations in the surrounding physical laws, space, and time, with an expression of shock and disbelief on his face.
If he was worried before that his father, the Lord of Mankind, would suddenly stand up from the Golden Throne and become a true evil god of the Warp, dragging humanity into the endless abyss, what he was worried about now was whether Zuo Si would directly announce that he would take over the entire galaxy and reshape the order according to his own will.
As one of the witnesses of that battle, the Primarch knew better than anyone how terrible it would be when the two merged together.
Apart from the Lord of Mankind, there is nothing in the entire empire that can stop or resist this true God who combines the power of the warp and the real universe.
"Swallow?" Zuo Si smiled and shook his head. "No, it's not swallowing, but a fusion similar to a chimera. Do you know how the Star God gave birth to self-awareness?"
Hearing this question, Robert Guilliman subconsciously glanced at the "King of Figures" Trazyn who was standing not far away, and then answered in an uncertain tone: "Is it because they gained form and perception after entering the Necron Skin, and were born little by little in their contact with the Necrons?"
“Yes and no.
Indeed, the Star Gods were able to develop self-awareness and even a variety of personalities, and communication with the Necrons played a crucial role in this.
But it is only the smallest of the causes.
The premise for the Star Gods to develop self-awareness comes from their act of devouring souls.
These guys eat souls not because they need to absorb the energy contained in the soul, but because they feel the thoughts, consciousness, emotions and memories contained in the soul.
Through strong external stimulation, the star god, who originally had no perception and self-awareness, gradually gave birth to sparks of thinking, and then from the initial conditioned reflex, it became more and more complex and more and more real.
They even learned to enjoy the worship from mortals and then drive them to serve them.
In other words, the Star Gods are no different from all other creatures called gods, and are all created by mortals.
Moreover, all star gods must exist in the material and energy form of the real universe, and there is no such thing as soul.
Their memories, emotions, and thoughts are stored in physical form.
This means that as long as I can completely crush the Star Gods into the most basic particles in the quantum realm, and then reassemble them as needed, they will return to their original unconscious state.
More importantly, in this state, they are not so much a living being as a celestial body that contains the laws of the universe.
All I did was reshape this celestial body as needed and make it a part of this body to strengthen my own power.
Not only that!
I also discovered that before they developed consciousness, Star Gods could actually merge with each other without any obstacles."
As the last word came out of his mouth, Zuo Si raised the right arm of the incarnation of Shuoyou and gently waved it towards a star not far away that was about to be sucked dry.
moment!
This aging star suddenly began to emit a dazzling white light. At the same time, its huge body, which had begun to expand, began to shrink again, and within just a few seconds it returned to its youthful state.
In particular, the astonishing mass lost in nuclear fusion was restored out of thin air.
The incarnation of Shuoyou is like the creator, easily rewriting the physical rules of the real universe.
"Creating matter and energy out of nothing? How is this possible!"
Belisarius Cole was obviously confused by this.
As a great sage of the Mechanicus, he firmly believed that apart from the interference of the warp, the universe should strictly abide by certain physical laws.
Otherwise, certain truths that you have learned and firmly believed in before will be completely overturned.
"Incredible, isn't it? But this is the power that the Star Gods possess! They are like administrators with the highest authority in the real universe, and can add and change everything around them at any time.
Even some of the incomprehensible super technologies of the Necrons are essentially achieved with the help of this power of the Star God.
So even Vashtor, once the god of creation and invention, could not replicate their technology.
Because what's at work isn't a universal law of physics, but a higher law that only the Necrons can master."
Zuo Si bluntly exposed the true nature of the Necrons' super technology.
What materialism, technology first...
It's all a fucking lie.
What these guys are playing with is not technology at all, but rules that transcend technology.
No wonder the Human Empire and the Eldar have seized many weapons from the Necrons, but have never been able to crack or reverse engineer them.
"Hahahaha! Congratulations, it seems you have really cracked the secret of the Star God."
Taraxin, who had been standing aside without saying a word, laughed, put his hand on his chest and bowed to express his inner admiration and respect.
After all, the other party is the third outsider in the entire galaxy who can see through this, besides the ancient saints and star gods.
This is why the Silent King Szahrak always has the confidence to defeat the Tyranids and make the Necrons the rulers of the galaxy again.
No matter how fast other civilizations' technology develops, or how many swarms of Tyranids pour in, they are nothing compared to the power of the rules of dimensionality reduction.
In particular, there are many hidden super weapons. Taking out just one or two of them can make all civilizations, including the human empire, tremble in fear.
The two sides were not in the same league from the beginning.
"Why haven't you left yet? Are you eyeing something here?"
Zuo Si looked at the infamous king of figures with great interest.
Trazyn quickly shook her head: "No, of course not.
It is the will of the Silent King Szalak that I stay here.
He hopes that I can serve as an observer and a bridge of communication to take a good look at the new galactic order you are establishing.
Of course, it would be even better if you could give me an autograph and a little bit of tissue.”
At the end of the conversation, the King of Figures finally revealed his true nature. He instantly took out a pen and a piece of specially treated paper from his arms, and the green light in his eyes suddenly surged.
"I'm sorry, but I never have the habit of signing autographs for people. Because in certain time and space, this behavior means huge risks. As for the body tissue you want, I advise you to give up on it."
Zuo Si chose to refuse without hesitation.
Although he knew that the other party had no other intentions in wanting these things and simply wanted to enjoy the pleasure of collecting, it did not mean that the Silent King Szalak would not use them to do some research or take some action.
Because the number of Star God fragments in the hands of the Necrons is very, very large.
It would be fun if these guys could research something and then ascend to heaven with their entire clan.
"Alas—it's a pity."
A very disappointed expression appeared on Taraxin's face, and he reluctantly took back the pen and paper.
If he didn't know that he couldn't beat or afford to offend the person in front of him, he would definitely find ways to get what he wanted.
Just as he was about to say a few words, an Astartes warrior in a blue power armor suddenly rushed in from outside and reported in a very urgent tone: "Your Excellency the Regent! We just received an urgent notice.
A sector close to Terra was invaded by a massive Tyranid invasion.
Their number is greater than any previous time, and those detected so far have reached the level of the main nest.
Currently, the space orbit of the sector capital has been lost.
If we don't recruit more people quickly, all the planets will fall within a few days."
"What? Zerg! Why are they suddenly attacking?"
Robert Guilliman's face changed instantly.
Because since he established a stable relationship with the Space Necromancer King, he has been able to obtain a lot of important information.
The most crucial of these is the unfathomable scale of the Tyranids and the terrifying power of the Hive Mind.
There is no doubt that the Tyranids are absolutely the enemy of the native civilization of the entire galaxy.
Because once they are allowed to devour lives wantonly, it won't be long before this place becomes completely dead and silent like those dark galaxies outside the universe.
“Since the track has been captured, we have only received this information so far.
You know, any planet that is invaded and attacked by the Zerg will be shrouded in the shadow of the hive mind, and all activities in the subspace will be forced to cease.
So right now no information can be transmitted from there.
In addition, you'd better return to Macragge's Glory immediately. An emergency combat meeting will be held in ten minutes."
After saying this, the Astartes warrior saluted on the spot, then turned around and left quickly.
"A massive Tyranid invasion?"
Trazyn seemed to have noticed something and stroked his chin with a thoughtful expression.
Seeing this, Robert Guilliman immediately couldn't help but ask: "Excuse me, do you have any information about this raid? If so, please share it with us. After all, when dealing with the Tyranids, the entire galaxy should unite."
"I think it has something to do with the battle that broke out earlier."
The King of Figures raised his head and glanced at the incarnation of Shuoyou, the implication of his words was self-evident.
In his opinion, these Devourers were probably attracted by the battle between Zuo Si and the outsider Saranoga.
After all, for the Tyranids, violent mental and psychic reactions often mean the existence of a large number of intelligent life forms.
In their eyes, this is the signal for dinner.
It is said that these guys discovered the Milky Way because during the Horus Heresy, when they destroyed a lighthouse on the planet Sosa far away in the Ultramarine, they accidentally triggered an astonishing psychic pulse, which was eventually captured by the Zerg passing by, leading to the first invasion.
In addition, the star torch lit by the Lord of Mankind on the Golden Throne is also a bright and dazzling light bulb in the darkness.
So in Trazyn's opinion, it must be Zuo Si's previous battle with the Star God that stimulated the will of the Zerg Hive, which led to this large-scale invasion.
"You mean... this is all my fault?"
Zuo Si, feeling that he was being blamed, clearly raised his eyebrows.
The King of Figures smiled and waved his hands: "No, no, no, I mean this may be an opportunity to observe the will of the hive up close, aren't you interested?"
"If you want me to join the war, just say so. There's no need to beat around the bush."
Zuo Si saw through the opponent's trick at a glance, but he still did not turn around and ordered Vashtor who was following behind him: "Go to Jinjitasha immediately and tell him that it is time to take out those carefully cultivated biological weapons one by one for testing."
"As you wish, great father of New Phyrexia."
Wa Banxian grinned in a terrifying smile, with fire gushing out of his eyes, showing the excitement and excitement in his master's heart.
Seeing that Zuo Si had already taken action, Trazyn also promised: "I will also send a fleet to participate in this war. It's time to show the unity of the galaxy to the Great Devourer."
"On behalf of the human empire, I would like to thank you both for lending a helping hand in this critical moment."
Robert Guilliman was visibly relieved and took the initiative to bend down and bow.
With the participation of these two super powers, this battle will definitely not be as brutal as the last time, or even they will have to abandon a large number of colonized planets and issue extermination orders.
"You're welcome. We are allies after all. Besides, the majority of the people under my rule are also human."
After saying this, Zuo Si transformed into a quantum form and drifted away in the wind in a way that no one present could understand.
This was obviously a power that the previous incarnation of Shuoyou did not possess, so it instantly aroused the surprise and curiosity of the technicians present, including Tarasim and Belisarius Cawl.
They didn't know whether this was a kind of star god power or the other party's latest developed ability.
…
At the same time, far away on the other side of the Milky Way, the invaded sector capital is now in chaos.
Countless refugees are frantically rushing towards the fortifications built underground in the hive city. All adult males will be forcibly conscripted into the army, take up arms and become a glorious "filler baby".
Although this behavior is extremely inhumane and can easily arouse resistance, all the men who were recruited at the moment had no complaints.
Because they knew very well that at this moment they were either fighting for some damn empire, governor or emperor, or fighting for the survival of themselves and their families.
If the Tyranids conquer this planet, everyone, regardless of their status, will have the same fate: being eaten alive by the bugs.
A similar situation has happened once before, and there is absolutely no chance of luck.
Moreover, if you look up to the sky, you can clearly see those super-large insects covered with tentacles passing through the atmosphere, sending dense swarms of insects like raindrops to the battlefield, advancing at a speed that is like a devastating force.
The defenses built by the garrison and the Astartes Chapter stationed here were like a piece of paper, which began to collapse completely at the slightest poke.
Even if powerful nuclear warheads were dropped, and fireballs and mushroom clouds spread across every corner of the planet, it still could not stop the speed of the insects' advance.
Hundreds of billions of civilians who did not have time to escape became food for the Tyranids.
Their biomass will be put to good use making more bugs.
This is also the most terrifying thing about the Tyranids.
Unless you have no flesh from head to toe like the Necrons, there is no way to fight a protracted war of attrition with them.
Because insects have no emotions and no fear, their bodies will be recycled and reused when they die.
But once their opponents suffered casualties, their bodies would immediately be eaten by insects on the front line and brought back in the form of biomass.
This means that the war with the Tyranids becomes a simple math problem.
As long as the biomass they grab is greater than the biomass they consume, they will continue to attack until the entire planet is devoured.
But if the expenditure is greater than the income, then they may consider giving up the withdrawal.
"Mom! Mom! I want Mom!"
A cute little girl in a blue skirt and holding a teddy bear in her hand stood in the chaotic crowd and cried loudly, completely unaware of how dangerous her situation was.
Not far away, a group of huge insects covered with spikes, sharp teeth and claws were rushing forward at a very fast speed.
In other words, under the control of the Hive Will, the level of coordination among Zerg armies may only be comparable to that of the Necrons and New Phyrexian creations.
Therefore, any weakness on the battlefield will be quickly discovered and then continuously magnified under the rapid attack until a point-to-surface effect is formed.
"Damn it! Take that kid away! I'll cover you!"
The Astartes warrior wearing a green-painted power mecha decisively threw away the grenade launcher in his hand that had run out of bullets, and drew out the chainsword that represented loyalty and faith.
As the most loyal warrior and believer of the Lord of Mankind, he understood from the moment he underwent the transformation surgery that his mission was to sacrifice his life one day and fight to death with the most powerful and fiercest enemy.
Therefore, there was no hesitation at all at this time.
After all, similar situations have been played out in my mind thousands of times. It took less than 0.001 seconds from making a decision to taking action, just as natural as breathing.
"May the glory of the God-Emperor bless your soul!"
旁边的卫戍部队的大头兵用充满敬仰和感激的声音向这位皇帝的勇士行了一礼,然后狂奔着抱起女孩便朝巢都地下入口冲去,再也没有回头去看一眼。
因为他知道,这位阿斯塔特战士从决定留下来断后的那一刻起就已经注定了必然会死在虫群的攻击下。
类似的情况已经在短短不到四十分钟时间里上演了无数次。
有些为了不让泰伦虫族获得自己的生物质,甚至会在临死前引爆动力机甲的反应堆,直接把自己炸个尸骨无存。
正是这种在危难时刻挺身而出的非凡勇气、牺牲,以及对帝国、人类和神皇的无限忠诚,铸就了从三十个千年到第四十个千年黑暗时期人类屹立不倒的奇迹。
“来吧!丑陋的杂碎!我会在倒下前杀死至少五十只虫子!”
阿斯塔特战士挥舞着发出刺耳噪音的链锯剑,咧开嘴露出嗜血的笑容。
相比起死在亚空间恶魔手上,他显然更喜欢死在与泰伦虫族的血战中。
理由也非常简单。
亚空间恶魔可能会捕获、玩弄死者的灵魂,将其献给自己所侍奉的邪神。
但泰伦虫族只是单纯的要肉体,对灵魂压根一点也不感兴趣。
这也就是说,哪怕死了灵魂也可以平安前往人类之主的庇护下,不用担心死了之后也不得安宁。
“吼!!!!!”
低级的虫族显然并不具有什么智慧和思考能力,立刻一拥而上想要杀死眼前的超级人类,以获取对方高质量的生物质。
但是很可惜,身经百战的阿斯塔特战士可不是卫戍部队那些大头兵,反应速度根本不是这些低级虫子能企及的。
只见他猛然间侧身闪开第一个冲上来虫子头顶锋利的尖刺,随后挥舞链锯剑直接砍在对方脆弱的腹部侧下方。
锋利的锯齿瞬间在高速转动下轻松撕碎了能够抵挡小口径激光枪的几丁质,墨绿色的血液和大量不知道究竟是什么的内脏开始四散喷溅。
当两者擦身而过之后,这只虫子立刻扑通一声栽倒在地滑出去十几米远,倒在地上彻底一动不动。
因为它的心脏和中枢神经彻底被链锯剑切断。
毫无疑问,这就是阿斯塔特老兵的战斗方式。
没有太多花里胡哨的技巧,有的仅仅只是看准时机的一击毙命。
不过一只低级虫子的死亡显然不足以改变压倒性的劣势。
还不到半秒钟,第二、第三、第四、第五只虫子就从不同方向扑了上去。
“给老子去死!”
阿斯塔特战士咆哮着纵身一跃高高挑起,打算先干掉对自己威胁最大的那个。
但是很可惜,还没等他手中的链锯剑挥出,一个更加巨大的身影凭空出现在不远处的建筑废墟上。
节点生物?! 不知名的阿斯塔特战士立马辨认出这只虫子与其他低级虫子的不同之处。
要知道低级虫子是完全没有思考能力、只会听从上级下达命令的傀儡。
这也就意味着虫巢意志需要一个个充当类似“路由器”角色的节点生物来操控大军。
换个简单点的理解方式,可以将整个泰伦虫族视作一个超大号的“因泰网”。
其中虫巢意识相当于唯一的根服务器,是整个网络得以存在和延续的基础。
而节点生物就相当于子服务器或路由器,一方面负责给虫子个体传递根服务器下达的指令,另外一方面也负责把战场的情况时时传递回去。
这也是为什么寂静王斯扎拉克会说现如今在银河系内的虫巢意识不过是真正虫巢意识的一个小小投影。
因为无论它的力量究竟有多么恐怖,受到“因泰网”带宽限制都无法将更强大的力量输送过来。
所以只要杀死节点生物,就意味着周围的虫群会陷入短暂混乱,直至下一个节点生物的出现。
这些经验和知识都是上一次人类帝国与泰伦虫族血战后获得的。
意识到这可能是一个机会的阿斯塔特老兵没有任何犹豫,直接舍弃那些普通虫子径直冲向节点生物所在的位置。
杀了它!
只要杀了它就能为这颗星球逃难的平民争取更多时间! 他的内心此刻只剩下这一刻念头,压根没有考虑过自己的安危。
不过节点生物也不是傻子。
它们被虫巢意志赋予了更聪明的大脑和自主行动能力,就是为了统帅军队以便更好的处理前线突发状况。
当阿斯塔特战士快要冲到近前的时候,节点生物立刻通过精神网络给周围所有的虫子下达命令。
下一秒……
一只长着巨大翅膀的虫子猛的俯冲下来,将一颗西瓜大小、像是一颗卵的东西从体内排了出来。
不好!
阿斯塔特老兵见状立马来了个紧急转向,随后朝前方的一个小坑里扑去。
事实证明他的这个判断是非常正确的。
当卵掉落到地上的刹那,一阵猛烈的爆炸突然席卷了周围半径超过一百五十米的范围。
轰!!!!!!
飞溅起来的尘土立马遮住了视线。
巨大的爆鸣声和冲击波更是把好几只低级的虫子活生生炸死了。
很显然,刚才那只巨大的飞虫在虫群中所扮演的角色就是轰炸机。
它通过在体内合成某些化学物质,进而制造出卵形状的炸弹。
不得不说,泰伦虫族能够称霸这可宇宙并不是靠运气,而是在一次又一次的战斗中不断汲取对方的先进科技,并以生物科技的方式重现。
很多虫子就是典型的生物兵器,在战场上扮演着坦克、飞机、大炮、战舰等作用。
像这种空中轰炸其实根本算不了什么。
那些停靠在行星轨道上长满触手的活体战舰,其实才是妥妥的生物黑科技。
因为它们能够操控重力和引力来实现超光速航行,直接以某个大质量的恒星作为牵引点。
这可是银河系内许多科技高度发达的文明都没能做到的事情。
当爆炸所产生的尘埃慢慢消散,节点生物突然发现刚才趴在地上的敌人消失不见了。
还没等它来得及向其他虫子发出搜寻命令,刺耳的电锯声便从身后传来。
“帝国万岁!为了至高的神皇万岁!”
阿斯塔特战士高喊着口号用尽全身力气劈向对方的脑袋。
可就在他即将得手的刹那,一根隐藏在土层下边的尾巴忽然钻出,从一个意想不到的角度狠狠抽了过去。
啪! 伴随着巨大的响声,陶钢护甲立马出现了严重的碎裂,整个人更是不受控制的飞出去摔在地上。
由于命中的地方刚好靠近反应堆,因此动力机甲当场因为能量供给不足导致失去了大半行动能力。
虽然生命维持系统仍旧在工作,可却怎么也无法站起来。
不用问也知道,那条尾巴正是节点生物故意藏起来,只为引诱他主动发起进攻。
“可惜了……”
阿斯塔特老兵仰面朝天躺在废墟之中,仰起头看着不断落下的虫子,毫不犹豫按下自爆按钮,然后默默的等待死亡降临。
他甚至能够感受到围上来虫子发出的嘶嘶声,还有对方身上沾染人血发出的腥味,以及出现在头盔上那狰狞丑陋的面孔与嘴里的尖牙。
可就在这千钧一发之际,天空中突然出现了一道璀璨夺目的流光,直接撞向那些正在向大气层内空投虫群的生物运输船。
瞬间!
数不清的虫子都在流光经过的时候纷纷从体内爆裂开,化作漫天飞舞的血肉。
仅仅不到一秒钟的功夫,巢都上空的虫群就全部别清理得干干净净。
发生了什么? 难道机械神教那些机油佬们终于舍得把珍藏的秘密武器拿出来了?
不! 不对!
以帝国及其低下的军事效率和行政效率,就算有网道也不可能这么快就有援军。
阿斯塔特老兵的大脑高速运转试图搞清楚状况。
大概两三秒钟之后,他就看到了一个全身上下散发璀璨星辰光芒的身影屹立在巢都之上,如同神明般俯视着下方的凡人。
新非瑞克西亚之父——索斯? 很显然,对于曾经参加过不屈远征的阿斯塔特老兵来说,认出这位神皇亲自指定的盟友并不是一件困难的事情。
只是他依旧有点搞不明白,为什么帝国的援军还没到,这位已经可以被称之为神明的盟友居然到了。
但想不通归想不通,并不妨碍所有看到这一幕的人开始大声欢呼,甚至有人跪在地上顶礼膜拜。
There is nothing more joyful than to suddenly be greeted with hope after falling into despair.
The governor, who originally thought he was going to die for his country, was almost moved to tears.
Because Zuo Si's arrival means the arrival of the New Phyrexian army.
No matter how large the Tyranid invasion is, at least those who survive will no longer have to worry about becoming food for the bugs.
Just when everyone was cheering, Zuo Si, who was standing above the nest city, suddenly raised his hands without warning.
In a flash!
An extremely thick tree branch rose from the ground and grew wildly at a speed visible to the naked eye, eventually forming an extremely spectacular ten-thousand-meter-tall giant tree.
Just when everyone was shocked by the scene before them, countless portals suddenly opened out of nowhere.
"Ahahahaha! So many bugs!"
“Go!!! I feel my body is full of strength!”
"Kill! Kill! Kill! Let's have fun together!"
"I think I can kill a thousand today!"
"waaaaaagh!"
“waaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!!!!”
…
Accompanied by familiar voices and slogans, an endless green tide swarmed in from the other end of the portal and directly engaged in a bloody battle with the swarms of insects all over the ground.
A large number of exaggerated and strangely shaped airplanes and warships emerged from the portal located tens of thousands of meters in the air, which stunned the Tyranids on the spot.
It goes without saying that these guys who are screaming with excitement are the fully-formed orc army trained by Zuo Si.
Unlike ordinary orcs, in addition to being waaaaaaaghier and more powerful in combat, their biggest feature is that they have undergone a lot of body transformation with the help of sparkling oil. They are not like ordinary green-skinned orcs who have a lot of biomass for insects to devour.
Moreover, the dead insect corpses cannot be recycled again, but will be assembled into low-level New Phyrexian cannon fodder under the infection of the spark oil, or transformed into various strange war weapons under the transformation of the great master.
With the entry of the fully-formed orc army, the situation was suddenly reversed.
The only problem was that the Human Empire was confused by the sudden appearance of orcs on the battlefield.
Because in their eyes, the orcs are basically the third largest plague after the Tyranids and the Warp Demons.
But now, these orcs are actually fighting with the bugs to protect themselves.
"This... this is so magical and incredible! What should we do now? Fight alongside the orcs to fight against the Tyranids?
If we do this, will they attack us too?
After they beat back the Zerg, will they turn around and attack us?"
The star governor was stunned and asked the army commander beside him.
The latter responded with a twitch in his mouth: "I'm sorry, this is the first time I've encountered such a situation. Let's wait and see what happens. After all, what we have to do now is to defend the hive and ensure the safety of all the people."
"Wait! Don't you think these orcs are completely different from ordinary orcs? When they are injured, black grease will flow out of their bodies!"
An Inquisitor of the Tribunal pointed to the screen and stated his findings.
"This is... Shining Oil?! This group of orcs is part of New Phyrexia! They should be reinforcements for our allies!"
There was a tremor in the voice of the Mechanicus priest.
Because no one knew better than him what this discovery meant.
If the enemy can tame creatures like orcs and use them for their own purposes, it means that they have almost unlimited troops and can set off a green tide across the entire galaxy or even the universe.
"What? You can't do that! No one can tame orcs! They are natural war machines and destructive maniacs!"
The bishops of the state church were obviously unwilling to believe this fact.
If it weren't for the endorsement of the Divine Emperor, he would even want to directly label the humans under Zuo Si's rule as heretics.
"But the facts are before our eyes, and we can't help but believe it. Did you see any orcs attacking us?"
The electronic eye of the Mechanicus priest flashed a red light, and it was obvious that he was quite disapproving of the people of the State Religion.
Although he also held such abstract beliefs as "God of All Machines" and "Oum Messiah", he was not at all interested in the ignorant and stupid state religion.
"Alright! Stop arguing! The most urgent task right now is not to argue about this, but to welcome the arrival of the great Father of New Phyrexia. Don't forget that both the God-Emperor and the Imperial Regent require that no matter where he appears in the empire, he must be received with the highest level of etiquette."
The Moff interrupted the two men's argument.
He didn't care about the feud between the Mechanicus and the Ecclesiarchy, he just wanted to quickly hold on to this thick and strong thigh.
Whether it is for the family to take a step forward or to leave a way out for oneself in the future.
"Governor, I think you may be overthinking it.
The father of New Phyrexia has shown no intention of stopping since he appeared, and obviously has no intention of exchanging or communicating with us.
So I guess he came here for this massive Tyranid invasion.
All we need to do is stay still and not cause trouble to each other.
Everything is subject to the orders and instructions from the Imperial Regent."
The commander of the garrison shattered the governor's unrealistic fantasy without any hesitation, with a hint of contempt in his tone.
