Chapter 106 106, Dukel's Allies
The Tyranids are the number one enemy of all factions in the galaxy. These ever-hungry bugs will devour everything equally, transforming them into biomass and leaving only planets of stone.
Compared with their cruelty and indifference, the contradictions between humans and Chaos are like the love-hate relationship between neighbors in a farmyard.
It can even be said that in the fight against the Tyranids, the Human Empire, as the dominant but declining galactic overlord, is not the main force against the bugs. The Necrons, the Green Orcs and the Chaos Demons are the real anti-insect pioneers.
When Guilliman learned about the Tyranids, his expression became extremely serious - the Ultramarines had fought three wars with the Zerg, and each time they paid a painful price to win a hard-fought victory.
In one of the battles, the tentacles of the Zerg fleet even reached Macragge, the capital of the Five Hundred Worlds.
These insectoid creatures that use biological weapons, every invasion is like an endless wave, and there are many kinds.
They have extremely strong resistance and adaptability, their replenishment and production capacity are far beyond common sense, their immune systems are extremely developed, and biological weapons are basically useless. If a toxin is used to fight them, they will quickly produce antibodies, and even the subspace energy can hardly cause erosion to them.
Guilliman projected a star map in front of Dukel, pointed to the position of Baal and said,
"We must not let the Tyranids break through Baal. Once this strongest shield is penetrated, the swarms occupying the Baal system will extend from here in all directions, and then half of the galaxy will fall."
Guilliman used the eyes of a military strategist to examine the consequences of the failure of this war, but Dukel had a different idea about it.
"Brother, when the swarm invaded Macragge, you were still sleeping in the stasis field, right?"
"Yes, what did you notice?" Guilliman asked in surprise.
Dukel pointed to Baal on the star map, "The cemetery and corpse of our brother, Sanguinius, are in this world."
"Intelligence shows that the Zerg has even abandoned the star systems where human worlds exist along the way and set its sights on Baal, even losing a lot of biomass. Although from the analysis of behavior, these Zergs are likely to want to prioritize the Blood Angels."
"But what if, I mean, if these Zergs that can absorb high-quality genes for evolution eat a Primarch, what will happen?"
"You mean" Guilliman's pupils shrank sharply.
"Of course, these are just my guesses. I don't have enough information to analyze accurate intelligence." Dukel waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to be too nervous.
"The rescue signal received by the expedition fleet is not far from where we are. I plan to go there in person to investigate the situation. If I can encounter the Zerg, I will see if I can collect some Zerg samples to obtain more valuable information."
Guilliman frowned and thought for a while. Considering that it is difficult to hunt a lightly equipped Primarch at the speed of the Zerg, he nodded to express his approval of this action.
But then, as if he had thought of something, he smiled bitterly and said, "But brother, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to get there before the battle of Baal begins. With the current progress, when we get there, we will probably only see a post-war ruin."
In the war against the Zerg, it is almost meaningless to have too few people.
Even if the Primarch is very good at fighting, even if he can kill ten Zergs in a second, and never sleep or get tired, it is just a drop in the bucket for the Zerg.
To defeat the Zerg, we can only rely on heavy firepower and the power of a large army.
Now the legions of the two Primarchs are large enough, but it is not a simple matter to mobilize such a large scale - material mobilization, personnel coordination, and weapon maintenance. Even before departure, so many preparations must be made, not to mention the long journey time.
Thinking of the time it will take, Guilliman looked worried.
However, Dukel didn't care about it. "Don't worry, brother. After receiving the psychic message, I immediately sent the legion to support."
"Legion? You actually have other legions?" Guilliman asked in surprise. The expeditionary legion was nearby. If there was a big move, he couldn't be unaware of it.
"Of course it's the allied legion." Dukel said as a matter of course,
"Brother, do you think you are the only one with an ally? Sanguinius has allied with the Necrons in the past. Isn't it normal for me to have an ally?"
"My ally happened to be closer to Baal, so he rushed there first."
Dukel did have only the expeditionary legion under his command, but what does this have to do with Brother Du?
"But." Guilliman wanted to ask something else.
But he was interrupted by the sound of the aircraft's engine.
The Psychic Guard and the Destroyers walked out of it.
"Your Highness, the battleship is ready and is currently suspended in the outer orbit, ready to set off at any time."
Aifral reported to the Primarch.
Dukel nodded, said hello to Guilliman, and left.
After watching No. 2 leave, the Regent sighed and returned to his office.
With the issuance of orders, a thick stack of paper documents would be piled on his desk almost every three minutes.
.
The battleship broke through the subspace barrier, crossed the barrier of the sea of souls under the protection of a powerful mental force field, and rushed towards the node of the real universe.
When Dukel's battleship arrived at the target planet.
The atmosphere was littered with debris bearing the Blood Angels' insignia, but more of them were the bodies of insectoid creatures.
These bodies were telling of the previous war.
"Salvage all these bodies."
After Dukel instructed the crew, he led them onto the landing ship.
When they walked on the surface of this world, all they saw were corpses everywhere.
In large human settlements scattered around the world, broken flesh and blood were smeared on the walls and the ground, and blood dyed human creations red.
And gradually rotted and stank in the light of the stars.
In the war between humans and aliens, the purpose of both sides was to slaughter each other.
The sky of this world was covered with a blood mist, a doomsday. After investigation, most humans had died, and only some small fortresses survived.
"Your Highness, there seems to be something abnormal 130 kilometers north of you."
The command center on the battleship sent a message.
Dukel decisively turned the aircraft around and headed for the abnormal location.
There was an even bloodier war scene, with broken flesh and blood scattered all over the ground.
Some were from the Zerg, and some were from the Blood Angels and the Auxiliary Army.
The bodies of a large number of Imperial soldiers piled up like a mountain, and the destroyed tanks were still burning with flames.
The warriors with the double-headed eagle engraved on them fell to the ground, and their shells were broken, revealing the wires with electric sparks running wildly.
Duker walked among the corpses, leaning over from time to time to check the bodies of the Zerg or the Blood Angels.
Suddenly, a beast-like roar sounded from a few kilometers away, and the crazy emotions filled in it were enough to scare ordinary people.
