Chapter 348 The Battle for Galaspar

Chapter 348 The Battle for Galaspar

"War is the blood of the Imperium of Man, and the blood of the enemy is what it must drink. Destroying others is indeed heartbreaking, but compared with the defeat of the Imperium, there is no choice." - Sanguinius, Primarch of the Blood Angels Legion

The Battle of Galaspar Cluster in 845.M30 was the place where the Death Guard won their first battle and where the Blood Angels first joined the battlefield.

Here, thousands of disobedients fell under the scythe of the Lord of Death, burning palely in the horror of the spreading poison gas, and transformed into poisonous corpses. A once dominant group was crushed to dust in Mortarion's firm belief, and the entire country became a wasteland of ruins that steamed with corrosive bubbles and sucked mud like a swamp, howling in bloody cruelty.

There were no surviving old rulers, no surrendered traitors, no prisoners of war after the war, and the planet's doom followed the justice of the Pale King. Root out the foundation.

Then, Horus Lupercal, Lord of the Luna Wolves, and Sanguinius, Lord of the Blood Angels, came together to question their loved ones.

According to some members of the Memoirist Society, after the war, several Primarchs did have a more in-depth ethical discussion on Mortarion's initial destruction, and Sanguinius personally told Mortarion that if there was a chance for the two to cooperate in the future, they should try to avoid using poisonous weapons.

No matter how the Primarchs looked back on the painful blood shed in this star cluster, their cooperation was unquestionable before the war was over.

·Regional communication

After the Galasper main nest Protax was completely destroyed and the inventory and integration work was initially completed, the three legion masters immediately sent a military broadcast to the entire star cluster, reiterating the peace greetings of the human empire sent by the exploration ship "Destiny" that was initially destroyed, and supplemented with the death toll of the main nest as an example, calling on the remaining ten planets to be thrown into the glory of the empire as soon as possible, and those who surrender will not be killed.

The great angel Sanguinius euphemistically stated that the Eighth Legion Night Demon King Court did not come here, which was a great loss of this order, otherwise their assassination, intimidation and sabotage actions would greatly enhance the persuasiveness of their own peace declaration.

·Lacerda First Battle

As an important waterway connecting the Galasper star cluster with the external cosmic environment, after avoiding the first round of conflict that the Death Guard avoided due to the decapitation operation, the stubborn resistance of the planet Lacerda was undoubtedly irrational. Fortunately, the united front value of completely occupying this planet was still judged to be positive. This is the luck of Lacerda.

Under the negotiation between the Death Guard and the Blood Angels, the 9th Legion became the main force to break through the planetary defense system of Lacerda. A large number of legion warriors violently broke through the outer layer of the planetary defense and directly broke into the surface of the planet, launching a legionary battle led by Sanguinius himself.

The Blood Angels tore through Lacerda's defense line at the fastest speed, showing no mercy wherever they went. The Astartes warriors tore through every group of resisting enemies with their own hands, while quickly advancing to the core management tower area of ​​the planet. Outside the orbit, another planetary army trying to support Lacerda was intercepted by the fleet of the Shadow Moon Wolves.

Soon, the Blood Angels penetrated every war zone controlled by the enemy, and with the final surrender of the planetary administrator Lady Olga Vergara, the Empire gained control of the portal of the Galasper Cluster.

· Hartman's Fate

Following another warning from Lacerda, the conflict of war completely awakened the entire Galasper Cluster, forcing everyone to rethink whether resisting the human empire from the solar system was an ignorant manifestation of various outdated doctrines derived from the isolation of the old night. However, Hartman, who sent out the support troops, had no way to retreat, because they had chosen their own fate of being ravaged by the war.

The Death Guard took over the leadership of the war from the Blood Angels and continued to complete the unfinished war mission after destroying the main nest. The Blood Angels sent some companies as auxiliary support troops, and they were not led by the two Primarchs to participate in the battle.

After the Blood Angels, who were currently ghouls, and the Death Guard, who were characterized by extinction heavy infantry, evacuated from the surface of Hartman, the planet was left with only a thick poisonous fog that covered half of the planet like volcanic ash, and countless bloody and torn corpses.

·Wolf of War

Considering that Galasper was constantly sending out desperate celestial sensor signals for help, while the other two troops worked together in their own way, Horus Lupercal, the son of the First Return, led the fleet to carry out an orderly cleanup of the outer asteroids outside Galasper's eleven main planets and other military facilities deployed in the universe.

The Luna Wolves isolated and destroyed the connection between a large number of outer military offensive and defensive fortresses and the inner star cluster. This made the enemy forces that could be put into the star cluster war increasingly stretched, and also promoted the complete surrender of the Galaspa system, and the date when the human empire completely controlled this pocket empire arrived.

· The right choice

As the war inside Galaspa raged, the overall losses of the imperial army were almost negligible, and the defense of the pocket empire almost collapsed under the pros and cons of the rulers of each planet.

After half of the planets fell completely into the hands of the empire, and the last resistance after the military force was assembled proved to be useless, the remaining major planets that were unable to fight back opened their doors to the three armies of the empire one after another.

The Luna Wolves were responsible for the main negotiations and consultations, while the Death Guard emphasized the bottom line of death that Mortarion could accept. In the end, the Primarch's army quickly occupied the entire cluster and took the Pocket Empire into its pocket.

· Second Battle of Lacerda

After surrendering to the Empire, the planet Lacerda expressed dissatisfaction with the decision to replace the senior bureaucrats appointed by Mortarion, and in order to suppress the undercurrents here, the actions of Horus' agents continued to escalate. Large-scale sabotage activities continued to occur, including some strikes and rebellions within the planet Lacerda.

Horus convened a meeting again to emphasize the necessity of obeying the Empire to resolve the growing unrest. After a day and night of meetings, the planetary governor, Lady Olga Vergara, was announced to abdicate, and a large number of the original ruling management were stripped of their power. The vacancy in power will be completely replaced by the newly appointed Imperial Committee in the future.

After the Luna Wolves skillfully resolved the series of objections that followed, the three Primarchs officially declared the victory of the Galasper Cluster Battle.

——

After the Battle of Galaspa, the three armies received a message for help from afar and quickly rushed to the battlefield to intervene in the war that had already begun. The important battles that took place there were also recorded in the documents of the Empire.

The Mechanicus assisted in the reconstruction and restoration of the Galaspa system. The terrain was rebuilt according to the engineering map, a large number of broken plates were reorganized by metal frames, and the soil and corpses damaged by the poisonous gas were uniformly and thoroughly cleaned up in order to re-cover the soil required for the Empire's planning. Within ten years, a large number of imperial immigrants brought Galaspa back to life.
