Chapter 1014 Great Pressure
Guilliman's face was dark. He told himself again and again that Slaanesh was the same as Lorgar's Damn Book of Sacred Scriptures. Whether you like it or not, you have become a part of the Empire.
Expanding the star map, there are currently 47 desolate planets in the Ultramar sector that have been planted with the Tree of Life. They are roughly arranged into two rings of different diameters. The next tactical plan is much simpler. Guilliman plans to set up a defense line centered on these planets to fight back the incoming demons bit by bit.
The Tau Empire at the edge of the galaxy did not suffer a massive invasion from demons. Shadowyang and Yuan Yuan were nervous about the rift above their planet for a long time but there was no sign of the demons. In the end, the two of them had to complain: It seems that the demons do not like the Tau. The smell of your body.
"But we also have a lot of humans here." Yuan Yuan tapped his fingers on the table. He and Shadow Sun were mobilizing the army to support the Great Dining Hall and Ultramar.
Yingyang answered without raising his head, "Maybe they have been hanging out with us for a long time, and they also have the strange smell of soullessness on their bodies."
Yuan Yuan curled his lips, obviously dissatisfied with Yingyang's description. Not long after, a specially marked communication device flashed rapidly. Yuan Yuan's face changed slightly when he took it, and then he said softly to Yingyang, who was still busy.
"We may not be able to provide external support."
"What does this mean?" Yingyang raised his head, "Are you suggesting that I abandon my allies?"
"Who do you think I am? You'd better see for yourself."
Shadow Sun suspiciously took over the communication device and discovered that the senders of the message were Generals Volani and Kravos. The two of them were stationed at the eastern border of the Tau Empire, which was the front line of defense against the last swarm attack.
It can't be that the insect swarm is coming again, right?
A few quick glances.
Sure enough, the swarm of insects came again. More in number, faster.
Yingyang's face was ashen. The large dining hall behind him was invaded by demons. The void in front of him was filled with hungry swarms of Tyranids. The tiny Tau Empire was caught in the middle and could not move.
"We." Yingyang closed her eyes. She was making a decision quickly. Time passed by minute by second. Finally, she said to Yuan Yuan, "We are staying here. The devil has already made the dining hall miserable. We cannot let the swarm of insects." It’s causing trouble for them.”
The Tau Empire then entered a state of general mobilization, and all military forces moved closer to the eastern defense line, hoping to slow down the Tyranid swarm's invasion.
Also affected by the swarm invasion was the Ghoul Sector, where the Shark Chapter and the Ash Claws were stationed. After Chagatai and others left, the relationship between these two incompatible organizations became much more harmonious, and sometimes they would join forces to launch attacks on aliens.
The Shark Chapter is now much richer, their warships have been repaired, and the weapons depot is finally no longer a resting place for dust. The complete surgical procedures and factory equipment that Perturabo left to the Shark Chapter are the key to the rapid growth of the Shark Chapter. Not only that, these angels of death, who are cruel and ruthless in the eyes of other imperial troops, are also slowly changing their cold attitude towards mortals, moving closer to the Ash Claws as much as possible.
Tyberos, the leader of the Shark Chapter, and Netanev, the leader of the Ash Claw Chapter, were standing on the bridge looking at a devastated planet. Part of the planet's surface was contaminated by Tyranid swarms. Purple-black air masses and Yellow-green hatching ponds are everywhere. The other part was occupied by demons, blasphemous runes cut the earth, and desolation and corruption quickly spread into the depths of the planet.
At the junction of demons and insect swarms, there are the only remaining imperial soldiers and civilians. They trembled in the shadow of daemons and zerg swarms, praying to the Emperor for miracles.
"Haha. Our place is really nice. It's either calm or a big job." Netanev's sarcastic voice annoyed Tiberius, who didn't like to talk, but the former didn't care what Tiberius thought. , still continued to express his views on the tragic situation of the planet, "Those cracks are not supported by any rituals, which means that they cannot be closed by conventional methods. These insect swarms are just the vanguard. Our regiment's think tank has already foreseen the insects." The shadows of the swarm. To put it bluntly, even if all the living creatures in the ghoul sector are counted, there are not as many mouths as the swarm."
"If you are afraid, you can run away. Anyway, you have abandoned the Emperor and it is not incomprehensible that you have turned to Chaos."
Tiberos almost let Netanev break his guard as soon as he opened his mouth. Although they do not agree with the current empire, it does not mean that they like Chaos.
"Who are you saying is afraid? Don't forget who rescued you from the orc den in the last battle? It was our Ash Claws!"
Tiberos was noncommittal and just continued to stare at the surface of the planet and think about the battle plan. They must not live up to the expectations of the Emperor and the Primarch, and must defend the Ghoul Sector from the daemons and zerg swarms.
The God-Emperor felt clearly that the entire human empire and the entire galaxy were being ravaged by war. Almost everyone was praying to the God-Emperor, and their voices were louder and noisier than before, so much so that the God-Emperor found it intolerable.
No matter how the state religion puts a veil on him as a god, the God-Emperor is after all the being who sits on the throne and is on the verge of becoming a god. His remaining humanity and human form make him far different from the real conceptual god.
So many calls and so much pressure.
The God-Emperor felt that his body was filled with huge power of faith, as if he would explode in the next second.
The demons who obeyed Tzeentch imprisoned mortals and then tortured them with methods from past times. The suffering and wailing of mankind continued to pour into the Golden Throne suppressed by the Emperor.
How long can I hold on? I can hold on forever!
The trance in his heart flashed for a moment before it was suppressed by the Emperor. He gritted his teeth and used all his spirit and strength to maintain the balance of the three tasks of blessing with the power of faith, losing control of the Golden Throne, and suppressing the Void Dragon.
This work is so difficult that the Emperor feels that dealing with the teasing of Slaanesh and the challenge of Khorne is a rare pastime.
Under the promotion of Tzeentch, things will always change to a situation that is more in line with his interests. At the moment when Carlos preached the contract in the Terra prison, the Emperor felt a stronger pressure coming from afar.
What's more terrible is that the Golden Throne he has been suppressing has become more active, and the device is emitting a resonant sound of cheering.
The God Emperor opened his eyes and saw that the Golden Ark Core was being pushed towards him by space and time, like an overly enthusiastic gift-giver. If it was not stopped, the Golden Ark Core would smash Terra to pieces.
