A life of ups and downs, but in Warhammer 40K

"The Baal navy has fallen, and now the entire Hades system is in grave danger. In my prophecies, I see endless death and disaster."

At this moment, Mephisto also remembered everything he had seen in the prophecy: the Hades system would be completely destroyed by the Tyranid hive fleet within a few days.

"Phew, provide immediate support there."

Upon hearing this, Lion King abruptly stood up from a pile of documents. He felt this life was unbearable, even though as a reserve war commander, he needed to understand the specific situation of his defense zone.

But for some reason, he felt something was off. Regardless of what was wrong, this was a good opportunity. Moreover, through his research over the past few days, he had learned the importance of the Hades system to Baal; it was Baal's most important barrier.

Once the Tyranids breach this point, the entire Baal will be defenseless. They will then face a catastrophic advance from the Tyranid hive fleet.

Therefore, even if they cannot withstand the Hades system, the Tyranid swarm must pay a terrible price here.

So the Lion King quickly led the charge towards the warship, but soon he also frowned.

He discovered that Dante seemed to have secretly transferred a group of Astartes that were not on the roster to the warship, which clearly indicated that there was a secret involved.

However, considering that his own legion also had many secrets, the Lion King chose to pretend he didn't see them.

Besides, we're still at wartime; we can deal with things later. After all, you can't really investigate, can you? What if you find something out?

The Lion King is much more shrewd now, knowing what to investigate and what not to investigate. Moreover, as the Primarch of the First Legion, he also knows a little about the Blood Angels, especially when he was in the Ninth Legion of ghouls before Sanguis' return.

At that time, the Emperor truly used the Ninth Legion as cannon fodder, and they were truly infamous.

The fact that many legions have elderly Terran members, while the Blood Angels Legion has almost none, reveals the problem.

.........

From Su Can's perspective, the underworld was raining, with dense, dark raindrops completely filling the horizon.

If you had to describe it, it was like seeing a storm rushing towards you at sea, except this wasn't rain. Instead, it was a dense array of Tyrannosaurus drop pods, all crashing onto the wasteland.

This scale was completely different from what he had seen last time; even Su Can felt a chill run down his spine.

"This is the real Tyranid hive fleet?"

At this moment, Akulduna and Loken also came out and looked over with Su Can.

"Is this the true main force of the Tyranid Hive fleet?"

At this moment, the two of them reacted similarly to Su Can, both feeling a chill run down their spines.

"Yes, elders and ancient sages, this time the scale is even more exaggerated than the Behemoth fleet we faced before."

At this moment, an Ultramariner adorned in ornate power armor also stepped out. As a veteran of the Zerg Wars, he was one of the survivors of that war.

Although Calgar took away a large number of elite troops, he still left behind the most experienced veterans who had fought against Tyran to serve Su Can.

"Pretty much. It should be the most terrifying scale since the time we directly attacked Terra."

Hearing this, Su Can nodded, then looked at the sand table in front of him. At this moment, countless dense red dots could be seen rushing out towards the nest.

Without the protection of naval space power, these Terran hive fleets can now deploy their forces with impunity.

If the Navy were to cooperate with the planet's defense system, it would be enough to give them a run for their money. As I said before, Tyrannosaurus can only win when they have the advantage; if they are at a disadvantage or even slightly outmatched, they'll be in jail.

at the same time........

"fire!!!"

With a roar from the front lines, countless guns and cannons began to bombard the Zerg hive fleet.

At the same time, the two Titan generals that Su Can had placed here were also at the forefront, and their volcano cannons were directly bombarded towards the densest part of the swarm.

boom!!!

With just one strike, tens of thousands of Tyrannosaurus Rex were wiped out, leaving not even a trace of biomass behind.

"hiss......."

Many new recruits who were seeing the Titan Warlord fire for the first time were taken aback by the sheer power of its firepower.

"They are all gun bugs; no node organisms were found on the oracles."

Chapter 125 The Pure One Taraxin (Humorous)

At this moment, the crew members inside the Titan were under immense pressure. After all, Su Can's Titan legion was formed relatively recently. Everything was new, and although there was AI assistance, the requirements for Titan pilots were not as high as those for the Empire's Titans.

But regardless, these were Su Can's most outstanding personnel, essentially equivalent to modern fighter jet pilots. However, their expressions were now grave, because the area cleared by a single shot was instantly filled with a massive swarm of insects.

Unlike what they encountered in Macurag, where the demons were all toughed out by the blessing of evil gods. Although each attack had limited effect, those that were killed were truly dead.

This sheer number of people created a suffocating feeling in them.

While the Zerg Swarm also possesses the Archmage Zerg, comparable to the Titans, the cost of manufacturing such creatures is too high, so Zerg hives are generally reluctant to build them. As for the strength of these creatures, it depends entirely on their size; some are about the size of a Knight mech, while others are as tall as an Imperial Titan.

"If the Imperial Navy were still around, those useless bunch of idiots would never be able to unleash the Zerg so recklessly, thanks to the protection of orbital defenses."

At that moment, the pilot also cursed angrily, saying that Su Can was due to structural problems. Therefore, the navy wasn't very powerful, and the recently manufactured batch of ships were prioritized for the expeditions of Guilliman and Calga.

In this situation, Su Can was truly helpless unless he went all out and blew up the entire planet.

"Prepare for the second volcano attack; Knight mechs, stand by."

At this moment, a group of people on the Titan were also quickly carrying out orders, and the volcano cannon was just like the barrels of all modern weapons.

If too many rounds are fired in a short period of time, the barrel will explode, as seen in a conflict in Southeast Asia. Someone used the tank's main gun as a howitzer, firing more than two hundred rounds in a short time before the barrel exploded. This was already extremely high quality, but it couldn't withstand such reckless use.

boom!!!

So almost immediately, another volcano cannon shot was fired.

Then, dazzling fireworks exploded in the densest part of the insect swarm, instantly evaporating a large swarm of insects.

While insect swarms can evolve fire-resistant exoskeletons, the problem is that fire, or rather, high temperatures, are the bane of almost all living things. (The last part, "simple fire," appears to be a fragment and doesn't translate directly. It's left as is.)

The Flame Bugs might be able to withstand the attack through evolution, but forget about dealing with the Volcanic Cannon.

The cost of evolving an outer shell to resist the volcanic cannon would be too great.

"Everyone, prepare to fire!!!"

In that instant, with the commander's order, countless attacks formed a barrage of fire, crashing down on the incoming Tyranid swarm. At the same time, the knight mechs responsible for protection also rushed out, continuously shredding the nearest swarms of insects.

Su Can brought only elite units; his Astral Army, or rather, his auxiliary forces, were still on standby. Su Can was prepared to abandon the planet if necessary, so they wouldn't be called up.

After all, once they arrive, with the limited transport capacity of the 'Gate,' there's no way to retreat; they'll be forced to fight the Zerg to the death. Although Su Can isn't afraid to fight them to the death, the Zerg's ultimate target is Baal.

If they change course to attack Baal, it will be a bit troublesome for Su Can to readjust.

Moreover, the fighting strength here is truly formidable; these millions of Cardia soldiers are far superior to Su Can's hundreds of thousands.

Now, similar scenes are playing out in almost every corner of the entire hive city, just like what happened in Griffith IV Forge World back then.

As a planet on the main shipping route, this place must be cleared out by them.

........

At this moment, Su Can's brows furrowed deeply inside the command room.

"That Tyranid swarm is truly insane. They've ordered all the Titans not to overclock their attacks in the short term. This isn't the time to fight the swarm head-on. If necessary, reinforce their outer defenses layer by layer to preserve the main force of the Titan legion as much as possible."

At this moment, Su Can was also frowning as he looked at the scene before him. The Tyranid swarm was still in the probing phase.

Because Su Can used Jimmy to lure out a large number of thieves hiding inside the Nest City, causing fatal damage to the thieves inside the Nest City.

Besides significantly reducing losses, this also confuses the Tyranid swarm about the hive's firepower configuration. More importantly, the Tyranid swarm now faces a network so complex that even the hive's own members don't understand it. Therefore, the Tyranid swarm appears to be a formidable force.

In essence, it's a test, searching for vulnerabilities in the firepower network.

Therefore, there were no high-level units in this wave, and the node creatures were hidden deep in the rear. So, Su Can's trump cards, including the more than 5,000 Space Marines such as Titus, have not yet been deployed. Moreover, Su Can can also join the battle if the situation becomes urgent.

"this........"

After hearing Su Can's words, Myron Drost was silent for a moment, then looked at Su Can with some doubt.

Because he discovered that the opponent's strategy might be somewhat different from what he had expected; this person had been holding back something and hadn't even made the Underworld the main battlefield.

"My goal is simple: to completely destroy this Tyrannical tentacle fleet. And the ultimate target of the Tyrannical tentacles is not this system, but Baal... or rather, the flesh and blood of Sanguiles above Baal."

Just then, Su Can took out a star map and placed it in front of Myron Drost. His abilities were beyond question; Su Can admitted he was inferior in matters of warfare.

"Um........"

Upon hearing Su Can's words, Myron Drost was also taken aback.

“Although I really want to have a direct battle with the Tyranids here and leave them all here, you see that the number of Zerg fleet they have deployed is less than one-tenth of their total strength. If the battle gets too intense, they will avoid us. Some tactics are completely different the first time they are used and the second time they are used. So I have to put the Tyranids in a situation where they can neither advance nor retreat.”

“I understand. We absolutely cannot let Tyron desecrate the remains of the Son of God.”

Hearing Su Can's words, Myron Drost nodded. He only knew to protect the Underworld system, but now that he knew more, he could quickly adjust his strategy.

As one of the most ruthless individuals in the world of Cardia, he naturally possesses extremely keen strategic judgment.

After all, in an environment like Kadia, no one cares about your family or bloodline, because the first test you have to face is surviving to adulthood.

Although Su Can still can't understand how those Cardian people were able to maintain such a high birth rate in such a crazy environment.

Incidentally, in addition to protecting their own planet, they also provide the Empire with hundreds of millions of Star Guardians every year.

But that doesn't matter in this environment. Bloodline is the least important thing. None of those who can become colonels in the Cardia Star Guard are simple, let alone this one who is a lord general of Cardia.

Although Su Can could slap him into a bloody mess, in a real battlefield situation, he was no match for this seasoned veteran.

Therefore, after hearing Su Can's strategic goals, the general quickly began to adjust the deployment with Locke.

"I wonder how the clowns' connections are going these days..."

Just then, Su Can remembered the group of clowns. After they finished informing him, Su Can gave them a new task: to use the gates as much as possible to connect all the imperial planets along the route from the Underworld Galaxy to Baal.

After all, in the original story, Dante was simply not strong enough and feared that these planets would become Tyrande's blood banks. So he directly issued an extermination order against them. Although Su Can wouldn't call Dante cold-blooded, there was no need for him to do that since he was already there.

With his tavern, he could wage guerrilla warfare against Tyrion throughout the sector.

As long as Tyren dares to throw too much power onto a planet, Su Can can make them sink into it.

Although he cannot guarantee that he will not issue an extermination order in the end, he will try his best to protect as many planets as possible.

"What about the other planets? If they can't hold out, you'll need to provide them with support and carry out a decapitation strike."

Having left the matter of Hades' Nest to Myron Drost, Su Can turned his attention to the other planets. The number of Tyranids they faced was far fewer than those here, but even so, they were undoubtedly engaged in a fierce battle.

Unlike Hades' Nest, the cunning villains in those worlds hadn't been eliminated. It wasn't that Su Can didn't want to, but time was truly running out. He could only do his best to ensure the safety of the main battlefield; as for Jimmy, he was better suited to operating in worlds where Tyrion hadn't yet arrived.

Now that Tyronn's army has arrived, his role is temporarily almost zero.

"The situation is alright for now. It is speculated that Tyrion's attack on the first day was just a probe. They are figuring out our firepower points through casualties before sending out mid- to high-level units for targeted destruction."

Upon hearing Su Can's words, the Imperial Guards immediately added.

"Oh, right. Go and call Mimi over. We don't know how many people will die in this war, and it doesn't involve Chaos. Let them come and collect memories... huh?"

Just then, Su Can said to a clown who was waiting nearby, "I can't completely guarantee the survival of this planet right now."

Moreover, once the first line of defense, the outermost line, is breached by Tyrion, the battle line will inevitably begin to shrink inward. Initially, things will be alright, but subsequently, a large number of civilians will certainly be exposed.

Although Su Can will try his best to protect them, there is no doubt that he will be absolutely unable to protect them completely.

Moreover, this was an apocalyptic war that would determine the fate of the entire galaxy, and it deserved to be recorded in order to continuously advance the course of memory.

But at this moment, Su Can discovered that his memory destiny had been altered.

Rather than saying it moved, it's more accurate to say that as the path of memory continues to advance, it unlocks a characteristic of that path: glimpse.

But even Su Can couldn't help but twitch his eye when he saw the target of the unlocked glance.

Because the person most aligned with the destiny of memories in the entire Warhammer universe is actually... the Endless One, Talazin.

"Why is it this brat? Oh well, I'll give him a chance to be guided. Let him embark on the path of memories; for me, it's more beneficial than harmful either way."

The war has only just begun, and Su Can is taking advantage of this lull to use his authority to exert the power of destiny.

............

Meanwhile, in another corner of the universe.

"Phew, that scared me to death."

As the Triune Council continued, Tarasin wiped away non-existent cold sweat.

The entire Triune Council erupted in commotion upon learning that the undead population had increased by one. Then, for some reason, all the undead overlords or necromancers instinctively looked at him, their meaning clear: since things are urgent, let's kill Talazin first.

He swore that although he had considered collecting the newborn, he really didn't dare to do it.

After all, this was tantamount to making an enemy of the entire undead, or rather, the fearful dead, so the matter was temporarily put aside.

Because they soon faced an even more awkward problem, which was...
