My Desperate Journey in 40k

As the object landed, an explosion directly tore apart a large number of insects. As the wave of the explosion disappeared, a teleportation light appeared above the battlefield. Where the teleportation light shone, the insects fell down like wheat, as if harvesters were harvesting the insects. Those "harvesters" kept approaching Wang Ming's position.
Wang Ming also saw those "harvesters". He looked at the harvester closest to him and slashed at him directly with a knife.
"Why are you here?"
"Yongcun" stopped in mid-air. He looked at the golden-armored imperial envoy in front of him and asked him with a puzzled look, "Why did the imperial guards come here?"
"Your Highness, we have received orders from His Majesty and are here to support you."
The imperial guard in front of Wang Ming said this, and then casually killed a tyrant who intended to launch a sneak attack. After killing the alien, he spoke to Wang Ming in a calm tone, as if he had just killed a tiny insect.
"Emperor... I understand. Go to the position over there and form a formation. This is the vanguard position to resist the Zerg invasion."
Wang Ming looked at the imperial guards in front of him and killed a tyrant casually. He said to the imperial guards that he now knew what those "harvesters" were. Those were the imperial guards who were slaughtering aliens. Although their killing speed was not as fast as Wang Ming's, it was not even on the same level as the time travelers.
"Yes."
The Imperial Guard looked at Wang Ming, just replied to him, and then quickly rushed to the position with other Imperial Guards who had killed the insect swarm. After entering the position, they quickly formed a battle formation. Some of them took the guards' spears and shot at the sea of insects, and some commanded the mortal auxiliary troops on the spot. Their command ability was extremely strong, and the firepower of the mortal auxiliary troops was exerted to the greatest extent under their command. Although some Imperial Guards would give orders such as raising the muzzle of the gun by two centimeters, which was extremely abnormal for mortals, it would also be corrected in the words of other Imperial Guards.
359. Chapter 356 Orbital Strike
359.
The appearance of the Imperial Guards brought some changes to the situation on the battlefield. Although the changes were not too big, they still had some effect. After the Imperial Guards were teleported onto the battlefield, the Sisters of Silence also arrived at the battlefield via transport planes. These powerful female warriors quickly formed a combat team with the Imperial Guards, constantly killing those Tyranid psychic units that made Wang Ming feel a little uncomfortable.
During the battle, Wang Ming also learned the identity of the Imperial Guard he saw first. This Imperial Guard was actually the same Imperial Guard he saw in Cardia at that time. After knowing his identity, Wang Ming couldn't help but sigh. After such a long time, he actually met the person he saw when he first traveled through time.
"Your Majesty, I am very grateful to you for saving me. Without Sister Silence, I would not have survived the tide of warp monsters."
A wave of Tyranid attacks was repelled, and Wang Ming finally got a brief respite. The node creatures had been cleared, and the Primarch's guards had also arrived. The battlefield could be temporarily handed over to the mortal troops, and Wang Ming finally had time to talk to the Imperial Guards.
When old acquaintances meet, they naturally have a lot to talk about. In the past, Wang Ming and the Imperial Guards had experienced a lot of things. When they arrived in Terra, the Imperial Guards suddenly disappeared. At that time, Wang Ming knew that they must have returned to the palace. He didn't expect to see them in Koledo today.
"Your Highness, His Majesty asked me to bring you a message."
Just when Wang Ming was discussing the current situation in the world with the Imperial Guards, the Imperial Guards suddenly said this to Wang Ming. When Wang Ming heard the Imperial Guards' words, he immediately looked at the Imperial Guards seriously. This time the Emperor did not speak to him directly, but asked the Imperial Guards to convey a message. This must be a very important matter.
"Ahem..., Your Highness, His Majesty asked me to convey the message to you in his tone."
The Imperial Guard looked at Wang Ming with a strange expression, then raised his voice and spoke to Wang Ming in a very formal tone. When Wang Ming heard the tone of the Imperial Guard and the content of his words, he instantly knew the personality of this emperor. It was definitely Nils.
"Wang Ming, this is one of the largest tentacles of the Tyranids entering the galaxy. You must stop this tentacle from entering the depths of the galaxy."
As the Imperial Guard spoke, Wang Ming's face gradually turned worse. He had previously thought that it was the main force of the Tyranids, but he did not expect that it was actually one of the largest tentacles. Wang Ming was shocked to learn the fact that they actually ran into one of the largest Tyranid tentacles.
"Then what should I do? Keep fighting a war of attrition with them?"
Wang Ming listened to the words of the Imperial Guards, and he subconsciously asked them, according to what the Emperor said, this Zerg fleet is definitely not so easy to deal with, but in terms of a war of attrition alone, Wang Ming is actually not weak, he can fight the Zerg to the end, but the casualties of the mortal auxiliary army and the world's civilians are unacceptable to Wang Ming, and they, the time travelers, have always tried their best to protect the civilians in the human world.
"This is unavoidable. This is the way mankind has experienced wars for countless years. You must adapt. The war in this world is very important and you must win. I am trying to find a way to have your brother reunite with you. Just wait a few more days and he will be here soon. That's all His Majesty asked me to bring, Your Highness."
The imperial guards looked at Wang Ming, as if they knew what Wang Ming was going to say, and spoke to Wang Ming without any sense of incongruity.
"Who? Which brother?"
Wang Ming looked at the Imperial Guards and asked him hurriedly, according to what the Emperor said, the Emperor is trying to bring another Primarch to him, who could that be?
"I'm sorry, Your Highness. I didn't know about this. His Majesty didn't tell me."
The Imperial Guard shook his head towards Wang Ming, indicating that he didn't know who it was. The Emperor only asked him to come to support Wang Ming and convey His words. He did not tell the Imperial Guard the specific details.
"I know I'm here."
Wang Ming looked at the mortal auxiliary troops who were fighting against the Zerg, and he calmly said to the Imperial Guards that, in fact, on the battlefield in this situation, one more or one less Primarch would not make much difference, unless the Primarch realized his own subspace nature and had some abilities that could change the situation of the battle.
"It's not that I can't afford to fight a war of attrition, but I don't have the heart to fight..."
Wang Ming looked at the mortal auxiliary troops and sighed. At this moment, a prompt sound suddenly rang from the personal terminal in Wang Ming's hand. Wang Ming looked at the message on the personal terminal, arranged the command on the position, and walked towards the distant Nest City. Just now, Wang Xiaofa and Hu Jin told him that there were some things they needed to discuss with him, and he had to return to the Nest City Command.
The imperial guard also followed Wang Ming to the Nest City. The emperor's order to him was to follow Wang Ming, so of course he had to stay inseparable from Wang Ming.
"what's going on?"
After Wang Ming arrived at the Nest City Command Center, the first thing he asked was what had happened. The war situation in this world is changing rapidly, and anything that happens needs to be dealt with quickly, otherwise there will definitely be big problems.
"It's like this, Boss. The fleet has completed the battle in the void. The Zerg biological fleet has been completely annihilated. Now the fleet's executive commander asks you if you need orbital strike support on the planet's surface."
Wang Xiaofa looked at Wang Ming, who was covered in blood, and immediately reported the matter to Wang Ming. Just now, the Zerg fleet, the human fleet and the Imperial Guards fleet had been turned into steam under the joint stranglehold of the Zerg fleet. Now that they have mastered the void, they can carry out unscrupulous orbital strikes, but this action requires Wang Ming's approval.
"Orbital strike approved. Blast those hives first, and use light spears to burn the areas where they are into glass."
After hearing Wang Xiaofa's report, Wang Ming thought for a nanosecond and then gave Wang Xiaofa the order to approve the orbital strike. Now most areas in the world are covered by the sea of insects. Using orbital strikes to clean up these insects is the best way. As long as the world's orbital strike power is mastered, victory in this war is only a matter of time.
Orbital strikes can clear out a large number of Zerg swarms, and the remaining scattered Zerg swarms can also be cleared by ground troops. The war of attrition that Wang Ming was worried about just now became a joke at this moment. This also reminded Wang Ming that the Imperial Navy is the most powerful force in the empire, with millions of cannons and millions of glories. As long as the Imperial Navy has the advantage of the war, everything will be fine.
"Boss, orbital strikes are certainly effective, but there is another problem, which is the damage to the planet's ecological environment. Although this world is a hive world, after the orbital strikes vitrify the planet, the hive will also be affected. There are hundreds of billions of civilians on the planet now, and we still need..."
Wang Xiaofa looked at Wang Ming, who was excited after hearing that orbital strikes were possible. He raised another question. This level of orbital strike would burn the glass and completely destroy the planetary environment. If the hive's life support system could not keep up, tens of billions of civilians would probably die. But Wang Xiaofa was interrupted by Wang Ming before he could finish his words.
"Seal off all the hives, have the planetary defense forces distribute personal protective equipment to civilians, and have the First Engineer Company quickly rebuild the hive's life support system. Don't worry about the lives of civilians, as long as no one dies. After the war, I will give them a brand new world. Even if there are casualties, that's acceptable. The main thing now is to protect this world and annihilate the Tyranids."
Wang Ming stared into Wang Xiaofa's eyes, interrupted him and said to him that through the emperor's words, he understood a truth: all sacrifices for the overall situation are acceptable. This is a means and also a helplessness. They cannot protect everyone and there will inevitably be sacrifices in the war.
Now all fronts are struggling, and tens of billions of Zerg are wreaking havoc on the surface of the planet. Instead of watching the positions collapse under the impact of the swarm of Zerg and then the Zerg rush into the hive city, it is better to sacrifice some people in exchange for the survival of the human race in the entire world. Isn't this what the Empire has always done anyway?
In order to stop the advance of the Tyranid fleet, the Inquisitor destroyed countless human worlds and caused the deaths of hundreds of trillions of humans. There were also various seemingly brutal actions of the Empire. Except for some insect behaviors, most of these things were helpless. The size of the Human Empire was too large, to the point of suffocation. The huge size did not bring it extremely powerful strength, although there were some, but more of it was running around and putting out fires everywhere.
Rebellion and war are the norm in this Galactic Empire. The high lords who control various decisions of the Empire are just expendables. The enormous power means that they may die of exhaustion on their thrones at any time. The slow response and the extremely disunited factions are the reasons for the helplessness. This cannot be changed. No one has the ability of Malcador, and there will never be such an imperial prime minister in the world again.
"Boss..., I understand."
Wang Xiaofa looked at Wang Ming. At first he didn't quite understand why Wang Ming began to regard human lives as consumables, but he suddenly remembered that they were in this desperate universe, and the previous wars of the time travelers had been too smooth, at least compared to other imperial wars. This made the time travelers feel that as long as they followed the boss, they could win any war and protect all the imperial civilians. But this time, they completely gave up this idea.
Wang Xiaofa also understood the state of the time travelers after the outbreak of this war. The mood of the time travelers in various battlefields was not very good. They watched with their own eyes the mortal auxiliary legions that they regarded as their own being annihilated, and watched the Zerg step over their corpses and rush towards the civilians, while they were powerless under the endless sea of Zerg.
Wang Xiaofa himself had experienced this feeling. On the eleventh day of the war, the First Regiment was guarding the entrance of a hive city. Behind them were countless civilians who needed to be evacuated. They and the mortal auxiliary troops were full of confidence in their large amount of equipment and the defensive firepower in the hive city.
But the sea of insects ruthlessly shattered their confidence. They killed at least tens of millions of insects at that time. The light spears and macro cannons of the hive city were firing all the time, and the traversers were constantly resurrecting. But even so, they failed to protect the lives of civilians. A large number of Licarats sneaked into the hive city by sacrificing their companions, and then the commanders of the mortal auxiliary army were all beheaded by these aliens. After killing the commanders of the mortal auxiliary army, they did not attack the traversers.
After eleven days of fighting, the Hive Mind has learned the characteristics of the time travelers. They directly extended their butcher knives to the civilians. They cut in half the time the time travelers who were responsible for protecting the civilians, and made the time travelers watch them kill civilians. This was also the plan of the Hive Mind. Since they could not kill the time travelers, they would use other means to destroy their morale.
The time travelers watched helplessly as civilians were slaughtered. The children were turned into pieces in front of their adults like rag dolls, and the men who dared to fight the aliens had no ability to resist at all. The cries and screams turned into sharp swords at the evacuation point, constantly piercing the hearts of the time travelers. They twisted on the ground in despair, hoping that they could die and then resurrect to protect these civilians, but the strong vitality that they were proud of became their biggest obstacle at that time.
Although Wang Xiaofa finally arrived with support, the civilian losses were also very heavy. Those civilians who lost their children and relatives kept crying. They looked at the late angels, and although they did not say any words of reprimand, the time travelers could clearly see the faint disappointment in their eyes. They trusted that the angels could protect them, but the time travelers betrayed their trust.
Everything seemed to be mocking their optimism. The veterans were fine, but the new recruits had gone completely crazy. They rushed towards the sea of Zerg day and night with their heat melt, venting their anger. But how much use was it? The number of Zerg was there. No matter how many they killed, it would be a drop in the bucket. It was of no use. Everything was so desperate and helpless.
The veterans remembered the Tear Plague on Macragge and the Federation civilians they killed on the Starry Sky. Desperate war and death are the theme songs of this world.
The order for the orbital strike has been conveyed, and the First Engineer Company has also begun the rapid hive city transformation project. After calculations by the simulator, they can at least deal with five hive cities thoroughly before the orbital strike affects the hive cities, but they don't have much ability to do the rest. After all, professional talents are limited. There are quite a few remaining recruits, but they are not familiar with the operation of those machines. Even if they are familiar with them, they cannot directly join the engineering team. They are not familiar with the hive city structure at all. The First Engineer Company practiced on the hive cities on Mors before they had the ability to transform the hive cities now.
In desperation, the other nests had to be handed over to the oil men, but it was estimated that their speed could not be very fast. Those sacred STC templates finally fell into their hands this time. It is conceivable how excited they will be at that time.
360. Chapter 357 The Weight of Billions of Lives
360.
"Captain Xu Zheng, thank you so much. We will definitely use our lives to protect these sacred STC templates and will not fail the orders of the Primarch."
The Grand Sage of the Mechanicus looked at Xu Zheng in front of him, and the only part of his face that still had a little flesh on it was smiling excitedly. He pointed at the Crusaders around him and spoke to Xu Zheng excitedly.
"Well, please, Great Sage, these tasks are very important and must not be interfered with by the bugs."
Xu Zheng looked at those Skitarii. Through his tactical goggles, the radiation index around him was about to go off the charts. These Skitarii were obviously radioactive. Each of them was a mobile Fukushima nuclear power plant.
"That's for sure. If you and the Primarch can trust us with these sacred STC templates, we will definitely protect them with our lives. The two Warlords of the Titan Legion and the main force of the Skitarii will protect these sacred STC templates."
The great sage patted his chest and spoke to Xu Zheng very seriously. As he patted, a sound of metal collision rang out in the space. Also, as he patted, the radiation index on Xu Zheng's tactical eyepiece jumped up and down. It was very obvious that the great sage must be very radioactive.
"This is just temporary. I'll leave it to you to use the Great Sage..."
When Xu Zheng heard the words of the Great Sage, he frowned. This old guy obviously didn't want to come back. It has always been the time travelers who took advantage of others, but today he was actually fleeced by the Mechanicus. Xu Zheng couldn't help but remind the Great Sage.
"Um..., of course, of course."
When the great sage heard Xu Zheng's words, he paused for a moment, and then began to laugh towards Xu Zheng. Obviously, the great sage wanted to fool the people, and when the time travelers came to collect them, they would find some reasons to delay. Anyway, as long as Wang Ming didn't come in person, they could keep using these sacred STC templates.
"Oh..., okay, whatever you want."
Xu Zheng looked at the great sage in front of him, how could he not know what this old fox was thinking? He was an old fox who had lived for more than four hundred years. He himself was a young man who had only lived for more than sixty years before and after the time travel. Naturally, it was impossible for him to beat around the bush with this old fox. It was up to them. Anyway, if they didn't return it later, the old man would go directly to them.
After handing over the STC template, Xu Zheng went to another hive. They still had a lot of things to do, and now was not the time to argue with the Grand Sage of the Mechanicus.
"Who am I? Where am I?"
On a wasteland with flying snow and ice, a naked man slowly climbed up from the ground. He looked at the surrounding ice field indifferently, thinking doubtfully in his mind.
The man was of great size, like a giant. His muscles were like marble, and his messy golden hair was tied into several braids. His nose twitched a few times in the cold air, and his mouth opened, revealing a few long teeth.
"This is my home..., I'm supposed to be here..."
The man looked at the ice field in front of him. He seemed to remember something and talked to himself. Then he ran on the ice field. He howled, ran and jumped like a wolf playing wantonly. As he became more and more cheerful, black hair gradually grew on his body. Gradually, he turned into a huge black wolf, just like Fenrir in the ancient Terran Norse mythology. He turned into it.
Just when it didn't know how long it had been running, two things suddenly appeared in front of it. One was a pack of wolves like it, and the other was a human village that was being attacked by wolves.
It was almost instinctive for it to follow the wolf pack to attack the humans in the village and have a good meal, but when it saw a little boy holding an axe with difficulty and trying to run towards his injured father to protect him, it seemed to remember something.
The little boy was repeatedly knocked down by axes that were bigger than himself, but he kept standing up and running towards his father. However, he was still too slow, and his father's neck was bitten off by the huge mouth of a huge black wolf, which was obviously a wolf. However, his father also killed the giant wolf at the last moment.
The sharp sword pierced the giant wolf's neck, and its sharp teeth bit the man's neck. They died together. The man fell on the snow, and so did the leader wolf. The death of the leader wolf made the wolf pack feel fear, but also made them angry. They quickly ran towards the man and the boy, wanting to devour them.
"I am not a wolf..., this is not my home..."
The giant wolf watched the wolf pack rushing towards the father and son, and it suddenly remembered that it was not a wolf, but a human being, a warrior who protected humanity.
The giant wolf gradually turned into the man before. The man roared and rushed towards the wolf pack. He grabbed the wild wolves one by one with his giant body, just like throwing rag dolls. The giant quickly killed the wolves in the pack. It seemed that he finally accepted his identity. He was a human being, not a wolf.
"I am human, I am..., I am..."
After killing the wolves, the giant looked at the wolf corpses all over the ground and the father and son. He remembered his identity as a human being and wanted to know his name. Although he didn't know why he wanted to know his name, he vaguely felt that as a human being he must have a name.
"You know my..."
He looked at the father and son as if possessed, wanting to know his name from them, but when he looked at the father and son again, he was surprised to find that the father and son were gone. In the place where the father and son were originally, a man who looked like a rotten corpse was standing in front of him, staring at him silently.
"you know…"
The man who looked like a rotten corpse looked at the man and said something incomprehensible, which made the man very puzzled. Just when he wanted to ask the man what he meant by this sentence, the man suddenly raised a hand and pointed to a discovery.
"Go there, you know..."
