Chapter 73 The End of the World: Planetary Infection

The warship between a living thing and a solid object shattered and disintegrated, its wreckage scattered in the chaotic space battlefield. The fearless sailors of the Imperial Navy were counterattacking in an orderly manner, with broadside guns and light spears firing accurately, and the traitorous ships of the Empire suspended in the void were bombarded and shattered.

These ships once belonged to the Empire, but their members chose to betray the Empire. They threw themselves into the arms of the evil gods of the warp and the arms of Nurgle, whose viruses that corroded flesh and poisoned the mind turned them and their warships into the horrifying appearance they are now.

Tentacles and biological mouths were wriggling on the warships, and a large group of fly-like objects lingered around the warships, buzzing and bringing the terrible power of the evil gods into the physical universe.

The bodies of those warships became huge under the support of the flesh and blood underneath, and their armor layers were almost completely integrated with the flesh and blood. The glass of the cathedral that once symbolized loyalty and faith was covered with pustules, and huge tentacles hit the cathedral and waved in the void.

These living warships are fighting fiercely with the Imperial Navy in orbit. The macro cannons of the same type as the Imperial Fleet are roaring and roaring. The fierce artillery battle between the two sides is taking place around the orbit of the planet's North Pole.

Fire and explosions engulfed the entire sky above the North Pole. Broken warships streaked across the sky like meteors and fell into the atmosphere, but the overall situation was not as bad as it seemed.

I mean, yes, the Chaos fleet is still huge in number and is launching a fierce attack, but it is being held tightly by the Imperial Fleet. The Imperial Navy relies on stricter discipline, high morale and well-organized firepower to suppress these Nurgle fleets that are more like pirates.

This is actually an old problem of Chaos. Believers of different evil gods, or even believers of the same evil god, cooperate very loosely. Even the more "loving" Nurgle believers are actually more like a group of rabble united together, at least in military terms.

Their tactics can be summed up in one sentence: relying on huge bodies, crazy spirits and huge numbers to launch a mindless charge until the enemy is annihilated.

I have to say that in a sense, they are quite similar to the greenskins, all of whom have huge physiques, huge numbers and high morale, as well as the weakness of being easily divided and induced to be annihilated.

Cole does not need to worry about the progress of the war. He knows very well that the Nurgle fleet has been suppressed by his side. With the defeat of its first wave of offensive, it has now become a battle of refueling.

But Cole is not happy at all. He frowned and looked at the data map in front of him. On one side is Omega's head. He seems to be operating something, and the green fluorescence is reflected on his face.

"Omega, are you sure? If your data is accurate, this planet is almost infected by the power of Nurgle." Cole pointed to the scarlet global data module in front of him. It is a module of destruction and death, symbolizing that the planet is already terminally ill, and it is an adjective, literal meaning.

"Affirmation." The short mechanical voice replied, as if it was completely unaware of what it meant, or it could not be understood with the thinking mode of the Mechanicus.

Cole held his forehead helplessly, knocking his fist on the armrest of the captain's chair, "You know this means that if the infection exceeds the critical point, we can only execute the extermination order, right?"

"Of course, once the infection exceeds the critical value, this planet will be completely corrupted and cannot be purified. It is recommended to execute the extermination order."

"And you also know that this planet is the holy land of the state religion. Not only are there coffins of living saints on it, but also all the holy relics of the state religion in the entire northern hazy star field for thousands of years and the Eye of Terror for tens of millions of years. Are they here?"

"I know that the state religion of the hazy star field, 68% of the holy relics and 44.7 of the scriptures are stored here." "And you also know that we don't have time to evacuate and leave this planet now, right? If the extermination order is executed, all the holy relics of the state religion on this planet will say goodbye to their owners."

Cole leaned back in the captain's chair and held his forehead speechlessly, but it was obvious that Omega was still very calm, and he didn't know if he could understand what he meant.

"If we blow up this planet, we will provoke the Ecclesiarchy, the Sisters of Battle, the Cadia Legion, and the Angels of Fire Space Marines fighting nearby. Do you know what this means?"

"Trouble." "Yes, it's a huge fucking trouble."

Omega turned his head slightly, the data on his eyes quickly passed by, and the iron snake-like mechanical arms kept wriggling behind him, "We are the Inquisitor's entourage, our duties are to defend the empire, purify, and pollute."

"Yes, but we don't want to provoke people everywhere. We are not those crazy idiots of the Inquisition, and neither is Vito." Cole said as he opened the communication channel, and he also pulled Vito's communication in.

"Inquisitor, Omega detected that this planet is only one step away from being destroyed, and suggested that we blow it up here." "Oh, then we will provoke a lot of people."

Vito's voice jumped on the communication channel, and the letter i of the Inquisition represented his appearance and rotated.

"Omega, do we have a way to not blow up this place?" Vito's voice asked, and Omega immediately answered.

"Eliminate the source of the plague, control the infection, and purify." Omega said word by word in a cold voice.

"Do you want to blow this place up?" Cole asked, looking at the image. After a moment of silence and the sound of Vito shouting in some direction, he cleared his throat and replied calmly, "No."

"Then when are you going to kill the Great Unclean One with your stupid plan?" "It's happening, it's happening."

Vito said as he slashed a Nurgle Plaguebearer to death with his chainsword. The grinning demon was cut into pieces by the chainsword. The Inquisitor put the blood-stained chainsword on his shoulder and looked at it. Four people were busy around them.

"I will reload the cyclone torpedo. You only have two hours to save this planet." Cole's voice said, and Vito laughed and shot away an approaching zombie.

I really challenge my limits every day.

Explosive bombs exploded and shattered on the street. The holographic sight in Bell's display helmet was quickly locking and operating. Under the conduction effect of the black carapace under the skin and the nerve connection, Bell's aiming was almost completely instinctive. He could not You need to think about the operation of the bolt gun itself. You only need to rely on intuition to raise the gun, aim and shoot, and it is extremely accurate.

Next to the ultramarines, the young wolf cub rushed into the zombies. The space wolf wielded a chain ax and killed among them. The servile-like zombies were in a stalemate and were unable to fight back under its attack. Its rotten and rickety mutilated limbs instantly shattered and disintegrated under the attack.

Ragnar roared and constantly adjusted its direction and angle. The roaring teeth of his chain ax were constantly splashed with blood, and the broken flesh was trampled into pulp under the iron feet.

Bell jumped from the high ruins, and the heavy armor crushed the streets on the ground when it landed, but this was considered a negligible loss to this almost destroyed city.

Bell held the bolt gun and fired continuously. The jets of fire continued to flash in front of Bell, and the large-caliber bolt bombs shattered the walking corpses at close range.

Behind Bell, Vito was walking lightly among the fallen corpses. The bolt gun in his hand was easily aimed and fired, firing at will without dodging or dodging.

Lancelot, who was wielding a power sword beside him, was fighting a Nurgle demon. His bloated body was torn open by Lancelot's whirlwind attacks, and filthy flesh and abscesses flowed into it. On the ground, even after a heavy chop in the abdomen, it was instantly disemboweled, and all the intestines and internal organs were exposed.

But obviously this demon's vitality is very tenacious. After Lancelot's series of attacks that were enough to kill any common enemy, he was still waving the rough bone dagger in his hand and howling in an indistinct voice. shouted.

Lancelot rolled the knight's sword over his arms and shoulders, and the blade almost slid against Lancelot's helmet. He grabbed the hilt of the sword with his left hand and stabbed it into the demon's fat neck. .

Knight Caliban slammed his elbow on the hilt of the sword, and the blade instantly cut half of the demon's neck, and all the flesh and blood underneath it turned out, but even so, the monster did not die.

Corrosive acid spurted out from his mouth, but Lancelot just turned around nimbly to avoid the attack. He grabbed the sword and pulled it out suddenly, instantly severing the remaining neck muscles.

The monster's bloated head slid to one side, and the remaining flesh and blood connections were torn apart due to its own weight. The monster fell to the ground, and its squirming fat body was blown to pieces by Lancelot with a melta grenade. .

The flashing thunder shot over the head of Caliban Knight, and the arc of electricity killed the next demon that came towards him. The demon with half of its stomach and intestines hanging out was struck by the lightning and evaporated in the convulsions all over its body. Half a body.

Lightning surged in Olaf's hands, and arcs of electricity struck the ground from between his fingers. Countless zombies were burned to coke under the lightning that spewed out from the ground.

Ragnar was still driving forward at full speed, and the roaring offensive of the chain saw cut through the zombies blocking the road. The tall wild wolf giant rushed out from the end of the ruins of the street. He howled or laughed and used the chain ax. A killing spree began, and the zombies on the edge of the square were immediately annihilated.

The black giant is harvesting like the god of death. Okay, it can't be called life now, is it harvesting the dead? It still seems weird.

Vito walked into the square from among the stones. The blaster in his hand accurately blasted the zombies that appeared from above the ruins. His upper body was instantly shattered, and his incomplete body fell from above. fall.

Vito pulled out the empty magazine of his bolter and exchanged it for a ruined square. The high-rise buildings here were directly hit by the crashed destroyer. The behemoth hit the city, and the huge tail thruster hung on the side of the square.

Not sure if there were any living people inside, I thought about Vito inserting a new magazine into the bolter, raising the gun and firing blindly, but he accurately shattered a Nurgle zombie crawling from the ruins.

The Space Marines walked into the square. The explosive bombs and lightning in their hands bombarded the enemies in the entire square. The giants quickly opened up their lines and established a safe zone. The Inquisitor stood in the center of the safe zone and looked thoughtfully. The rear end of the giant thruster.

"Inquisitor, if the map of the war zone I got is correct, we have already arrived at Silver Spring Square." Bell said, walking from the side, the bolter in his hand still smoking.

Vito looked at the pharmacist who was coming and looked around the square and shrugged, "This damn place is called Silver Spring Square, but I didn't even see a drop of water. It's too outrageous."

"There used to be a spring here, but it's gone now, but I think our question is where is Inquisitor Lilith?" Bell asked, Ragna and the others also came over, looking down at the Inquisitor with pairs of giant eyes. .

Vito scratched his head with the side of his bolter, "Well, that girl is pretty casual about dating sometimes."

Before Vito finished speaking, a burst of crazy laughter came from the corner of the square. From the ruined streets, a whole group of plague bearers and Nurgle beasts were laughing and rushing into the square. Their bloated bodies were hung with intestines and internal organs. Almost crazy smiles hung on their faces, grinning with nightmare-like voices.

The little Nurglings jumped around actively on their severely obese bodies and protruding horns, laughing like children in a twisted way among the Plague Walkers.

Vito looked at the demons charging madly, including a huge Nurgle demon that was almost crawling on the ground.

"Forget it, get rid of them first, and get to their places!" Vito raised his bolt gun, and the Astartes all raised their bolt guns and aimed at the monsters.

"Listen to my command and prepare!" Before Vito could say the ceremonial word "release", a rapid explosion exploded among the demons.

From the road at the far end of the broken road, a graceful figure jumped out. She flew over the heads of the Nurgle demons in the air and threw several grenades from her hands.

Those grenades instantly fell among the Nurgle demons like fairy flowers. The dense explosions turned their loud voices into distorted screams. The fire instantly burned and engulfed a large group of demons.

The slender legs landed on the head of the large Nurgle demon. The monster's not-so-smart eyes raised and looked at the woman standing on top of his head.

Her two-handed sword slid out two high-speed rotating folding knives. She swung her sword and instantly cut off the Nurgle Demon's fat neck. The monster fell forward and fell to the ground, and she jumped out again among several people. Astartes' gaze passed above their heads, and then landed precisely on Vito's wrist.

The silver-haired female judge put one arm around Vito's neck, and then kissed the judge on the face, "My dear, you are so slow."

"Wrong! The awesome Judge Vito may be late, but he will definitely save the world like lightning!" Vito said with high spirits, and then heard a burst of intensive bolt gunfire, and the artillery fire was obviously not the one around him. Four fights.

Olaf turned around in an instant and called out the shield. The rotating bombs were restrained by the shield, almost spinning and stopping in front of everyone.

They all looked at the source of the firepower, which was five tall figures wearing dark green power armor. They held bolters symbolizing the Angel of Death.

"Ah, by the way, I brought my "friends" here." Lilith pointed at the figures with her folding knife.

Renegade Space Marines, several "friends" of the Death Guard
