Chapter 116 116, Golden Sky Eagle

According to the route of the star map, the next stop of the Xika world has entered the radiation range of the Baal galaxy. Now the tentacles of the Zerg Leviathan Fleet have already reached the edge of Baal. Dukel wanted to leave Xika earlier and rush to the front line of the Leviathan war - but because of the Genestealer, he had to stay in this galaxy for a while.

When the expeditionary corps was conducting a cleanup operation in the Xika galaxy, Dukel, as usual, launched a call for the local mortal army.

After all, although the Xika star field is not large, there are also several imperial worlds in it. Without the assistance of the local government and hundreds of millions of mortal troops, even with the size of the expeditionary corps, it would be difficult to carefully clean up the heretics and aliens in these worlds.

But what Dukel didn't expect was that the order he issued was actually obstructed. The local high-level lords obeyed his orders in public and disobeyed them in private. For a full half day, there was no sign of the mortal army setting off.

- This is a situation he has never encountered before. Even if he puts aside his identity as the emperor's biological son, what he did is a just act. In the worlds that the expeditionary corps had saved, even if Duker did not issue an order, the local mortal army would come to cooperate actively.

What is going on in this world? Are these high-level lords going to die?

Duker was puzzled.

At this time, in the high-level parliament of the Xika world——

The dignitaries were still arguing and shirking responsibility.

"Governor, all the senators, why did you go against the will of His Highness Duker? Do you want to rebel?" A planetary guard officer asked coldly.

"Colonel, you have crossed the line. It is not your turn to speak here!" The planetary governor angrily scolded, "We are just acting in accordance with the Imperial Act. No one's will can override the sacred law!"

"That's right, we are just doing things according to the rules."

"I agree that the current situation does not meet the standards for dispatching troops at all."

"I believe that after knowing this, His Highness the Primarch will definitely understand our good intentions."

In the parliament room, the dignitaries spoke righteously.

But after hearing their high-sounding words, the officers of the planetary guard were so angry that their lips trembled.

"The war has ignited everything in Xika, and the cultists are rampant. Every minute and every second you delay, countless human compatriots will die! You are in charge of power, living in the warmest and most comfortable garden, but you do not save your fellow compatriots who are suffering. Aren't you afraid of being judged?"

In the eyes of the officers, what these idiots are doing now can only be described as either stupid or bad.

Looking at their shameless faces, the officers' eyes were filled with uncontrollable anger.

"The invasion of aliens and heretics is not our fault. I reiterate that we are just following the law and no one can judge us."

Faced with the officers' questions, the planetary governor was not afraid at all.

"You!"

The officer glared at the planetary governor, just when he wanted to continue questioning.

"Bang!——"

A bomb shot in.

Under the shocked eyes of the officer, the head of the planetary governor instantly exploded like a watermelon, and all kinds of flesh and blood splattered everywhere.

"What are you for? Are you for your group of heretics?"

A voice came from outside.

A man who was almost three times taller than a mortal, wearing heavy power armor and exuding a strong smell of blood, walked in.

With his arrival, the power he brought made everyone present feel suffocated for a short time.

"What is going on in this world? Why is it allowed to allow a heretic to sit in the seat and talk freely?"

Duke pointed at the corpse of the planetary governor and asked.

His bright eyes looked around, and no one dared to look at him.

The officer followed the guidance of the Primarch and looked at the corpse of the planetary governor. Only then did he notice that the blood flowing out of the governor was mixed with disgusting green mucus.

He took a few steps forward, rolled up his luxurious sleeves, and found that his bare arms were actually purple, and his skin was uneven and full of fine grains.

Although Dukel liked to classify all those who disobeyed his will as heretics, this time, he really was not talking nonsense.

With the five senses of the Primarch far superior to those of ordinary people, he only took a glance from a distance and saw through the disguise of the planetary governor.

"I suspect that everyone here has been infiltrated by the Genestealer Church."

As Dukel's voice fell, a series of clicks sounded, and the Doomsday Warriors behind the Primarch raised their guns.

Dukel's eyes revealed a cold murderous intent.

Compared with the mighty Zerg army, the infiltration of the Genestealers was even more disgusting.

As the Zerg tentacles approached, these disgusting creatures that were supposed to live in the sewers of the Hive City became more and more active.

Given the size of an empire, the existence of gene stealers is unavoidable, just like it is normal for there to be a few cockroaches in the dark corners of your 800-square-meter villa.

But they cannot appear in the open. If there is a cockroach in the living room, it often means that there are tens of millions of them in the dark corners.

Now, these disgusting things are no longer as simple as appearing in the open. Even the planetary governor has been infected by the Genestealer Church.

No wonder there is such a serious turmoil. If it weren't for the intervention of the Khorne fleet, I'm afraid the swarm would be able to swallow these imperial worlds intact.

Genestealers are invisible ulcers in the dark corners of the human empire. They are spread across every seemingly loyal imperial world and penetrate into the blood of the empire.

The dignitaries in the parliament were terrified. No one wanted to be associated with the Genestealer Cult. That was a dead end.

"He too!"

The Doom Slayer suddenly pointed at a congressman and shouted, without giving him any chance to defend himself. In a loud explosion, the explosive bullet shattered his head.

The congressman's head was blown off, and scarlet blood flowed out.

The blood of the infected was mixed with disgusting green mucus, while the blood of the uninfected was scarlet.

Obviously, this was a manslaughter, but no one would complain for him. The Empire's attitude towards this kind of thing has always been to kill the wrong person rather than let him go.

"Count the number of infected people and exterminate all their families." Dukel issued a cold order, "Capture all the dignitaries in the Xika galaxy and clean up the original military high-level officials. Let Gris bring down the equipment of the Mechanicus and test the nest city."

Gene stealers will continue to reproduce with humans and completely pollute human genes.

If the infected are identified one by one, the Empire will waste a lot of manpower and material resources. If one is let go, it will soon be another large area of ​​infection.

This is their terribleness. When a planet is infected in large numbers, the Empire will directly issue an extermination order.

As Dukel's voice fell, the imperial people who were still immersed in the joy of victory were driven back home.

The state church priests gathered the Emperor's followers and asked them if they had ever come into contact with the secret church.

In particular, have they heard of any imperial beliefs such as the Four-Armed God Emperor?

And encouraged the public to report.

A massive cleansing operation officially began. The powerful families were forced to undergo testing. If one person was found to have problems, the whole family would suffer.

The largest number of middle- and lower-level people were brainwashed by the state church priests, who encouraged them to expose those secret organizations.

"Demons disguised as the Emperor and presumed to be popular in the name of the Emperor are irredeemable blasphemy. Only by executing the blasphemers can we pray for the Emperor's forgiveness."

Groups of state church priests walked in the streets and alleys, preaching with all their might.

A large number of preaching robots flew from high in the sky, encouraging the public to report heretics.

The scale of the entire cleansing was extremely large, and often the people in a block were bloodbathed.

A large number of imperial people were pushed and pushed to the platform. Dukel saw with his own eyes those wailing and crying people being executed and incinerated in batches. Only in this way can the source of genetic pollution be eliminated.

"Your Highness, is this too cruel? Those children are so pitiful and have a bright future. Can't we let them go?" Someone asked Dukel crying.

In response, Dukel just looked at the man with a cold expression, "Sometimes kindness will only kill more innocent people. When one day, the Empire has to issue an extermination order to this world, I hope your kindness can pay for this world."

This cleansing caused rivers of blood in the Sika Galaxy.

It was not until it was confirmed that there were no hidden dangers that it ended.

They won again, not only defeating the Khorne fleet and the Zerg tentacles, but also suppressing the rebellion and carrying out a deep cleansing of the Sika Galaxy.

But no one celebrated for this, but in the hearts of the Empire's soldiers, more anger was added.

In the battle against aliens and heretics, whether they win or lose, those who are trampled and suffer hardships are always the empire's territory and people.

"It's time to set off."

Accompanied by Duker's order, the expeditionary fleet set off again.

Target - Baal! .

With the invasion of the Leviathan Zerg Fleet, the entire Baal galaxy was dragged into the flames of war.

Another wave of attacks was repelled on the outer defense line of Angel Castle.

The battlefield was full of burning war machines and broken Zerg corpses, artillery fire roared day and night, and the sky was ignited by the flames of war.

Under the maintenance of the Blood of Sanguinius, nearly 30,000 Blood Angels gathered in this galaxy to defend their genetic father together.

The chaotic energy roared in the planet's atmosphere, the battle in space was still going on, and the ships of various regiments were still struggling to resist the Zerg fleet.

Dense spore clouds fell from the sky, and Zergs on the ground continued to gather together and attack the human defense line.

The Hive Mind screamed and attacked Baal's defenses almost without regard for the consequences.

Dante, the commander-in-chief of the Blood Angels, also came to the battlefield. He fought on the battlefield, and his body was covered with broken biological limbs.

After a difficult battle, the Zerg retreated temporarily, but all the warriors knew that they would attack again soon.

In the battle to attack Baal, Leviathan, contrary to its usual practice, no longer calculated the losses of the battle. No matter how many times it was beaten back, it would come back again. From the behavior of the Hive Will, one can even feel a kind of courage that will never give up until Baal is conquered.

Now the retreat is just for a better breakthrough.

But no matter what, the Blood Angels now have a rare rest time.

The battlefield is full of Zerg corpses, some of which are huge, like hills; some are small, only as big as an adult's head.

They are of various types and can adapt to battles in any situation. Tyran will continue to learn from failure and come up with new tactics. It is for this reason that humans will be repeatedly frustrated by Tyran's attacks.

Humans don't have the terrible learning ability of Tyranids. Some laborers and mechanical priests walked out of the defense line. They had to deal with the corpses as soon as possible to prevent the next wave of Zerg from using the corpses to cross the human defense line.

And farther away from the battlefield, billowing smoke rose up, and some huge starship fragments crossed the atmosphere, fell on the wasteland and exploded, forming thick black smoke.

The roar of artillery fire has never stopped for a moment.

In the continuous wars, the Tyranid Zerg suffered heavy casualties, but humans also paid a painful price.

But even if the battle situation is like this,

To be honest, it is much better than Dante expected.

And the reason for such a victory was that the Orc Corps led by the Bone Crusher appeared on the periphery of the Baal Galaxy.

Dante's face also showed a complicated look when he thought of this.

The appearance of these orcs disrupted his original plan to bomb the Empire World and artificially create a quarantine zone.

In his original plan, the human worlds that the Leviathan Zerg Fleet passed through were destined to perish.

In order to prevent the flesh and blood of the Empire's humans from becoming food for the expansion of the Zerg, the Blood Angels originally planned to use the Extermination Order to destroy these human worlds first.

But the appearance of the Bone Crusher and its huge orc size made them dare not approach easily.

But correspondingly, when the Zerg Hive Fleet passed by, these Ork orcs grabbed the Zerg's tentacles fiercely, blocking most of the Zerg's main forces.

Now only a small part of the Zerg can really reach Baal.

Dante also saw the hope of victory in this war.

Just as he was thinking, a message suddenly came from the voice channel,

"Lord Dante, the situation in the subspace has changed. It seems that an Imperial Legion is entering the Baal system."

"Who are they?"

Dante asked hurriedly.

Soon, the voice communication came back with another reply,

"Not sure, the Zerg shadow covers the subspace, and the interference is too strong to see clearly."

"What is the scale of the reinforcements?" Dante asked the most critical question.

In the battle against the Zerg, if only one or two regiments come, it is impossible to reverse the entire battle situation.

"Lord Dante, under the cover of the subspace shadow, I can't be sure whether what I see is an illusion. The scale of this legion is larger than I have ever seen. I am not sure if I am still rational now. How can the current empire gather such a terrifying fleet?"

Dante frowned slightly. He was about to continue asking something when he suddenly heard a somewhat excited voice coming from the voice.

"Lord Dante, I saw it. It was the golden Imperial Eagle, on the flagship of this fleet. The golden Eagle flag shone brightly, penetrating the shadow of the warp and breaking through the blockade of the Zerg. This fleet soon appeared. Wait, that doesn't seem to be the Eagle flag!"

A scream came from the voice channel,

"This is Carlos! How could this be Carlos! I must be crazy! The Emperor is above!!!!"

Listening to a series of screams in the legion voice.

Dante frowned even more. He was not sure whether the astropath had a mental problem or something else.

"Which one is true?"

Dante analyzed the confusing information said by the astropath.

Sorry, bosses, I've been a little busy recently, and the update time is not stable. It will be fine in a few days. Sorry.
