The Astartes Family's Notebook

But who is General Kaspersky? He's used the tactic of pitting heroes against heroes and investigating heroes countless times.

Warp evil spirits are so powerful, huh? Come on, let's have a go.

Sigh, when will this hell of working tormenting people ever end?

The demon host on the Ishimura was already a seasoned veteran, and understood that when Kars said "don't come again," he meant don't come to the real universe at all.

This is a very serious warning; you can't refuse this job.

So there was no other way but to use their own methods. It was only a distance of a few dozen kilometers. After Kaz lowered the Void Shield, hundreds of demon hosts quickly crossed the distance.

Hey guys, cooperate a bit, don't make things difficult for the brothers.

Who the hell considers you trash brothers? Get the hell out of here.

Hmm, you're being unreasonable?

Whose face do you think you have, you scum stuffed into corpses?

Therefore, the most effective way to provoke a warp demon is always to make it chat with another warp demon that you know well.

Previously, everyone served their own masters and fought amongst themselves, but now that we're all from the Ishimura, if we don't deal with these bastards, it won't look good for anyone. Let's join forces.

Okay, just this once, let's join forces.

What only the two generations of Chaos Warmasters could accomplish, Kars did without lifting a finger, and the evil spirits of the Ishimura did it all themselves.

If we don't have a fierce battle today and determine who's the king and queen, we won't have the face to say we're from the subspace world.

A brutal civil war of chaos erupted within the warp's evil forces.

Because of the uniqueness of its faction division, the four gods did not interfere or intervene, and just watched for fun.

Ultimately, the evil spirits aboard the Ishimura, relying on the superior numbers of Mordor and their greater experience in internal strife, successfully purged the local subspace evil spirits from the cruiser.

Good work, deserves a reward.

None of the four masters were stingy with their rewards; the live stream donations were credited to the accounts on the spot.

The demons are in a frenzy! Lord Samar, we love you!

The Chaos Warband, which was originally the most troublesome, was taken down first by Kaz's scheme, and the Astral Army's offensive on the main planet instantly became fierce.

Sorry, being able to call in orbital bombardment is really impressive.

Having spent so much time in the Empire, Kaz's biggest stereotype of the Imperial fleet and the Astral Army was their collective irresponsibility, akin to a simple, everyday existence.

The Empire's military strength is truly formidable; don't take the Planetary Defense Forces and the Astragalus's line-filling regiments for granted.

The Star Legion that was selected to serve as a fire brigade may not be the most high-ranking, but these brave men of the Empire truly lived up to the spirit of their soldiers fighting bravely and risking their lives.

Often, when a situation collapses, it's partly because the enemy is too powerful and courage can't compensate for the lack of combat strength, and partly because the commanding officers are incompetent.

Previously, to protect the reputation of the Desolate Wings, Kaz sometimes reluctantly admitted to certain things.

You know how it is with locals, I spoil you.

But now that he's painted with the Malice Warrior theme, Kars seems to have let loose a bit.

We, the loyalists, are the real bosses, the big brothers of your Astral Army. Big Brother is here to help you win the war, and whatever Big Brother says goes!

Whether you're a regimental colonel or a political commissar, whether your maternal uncle is a high-ranking official in the Star Region Military Affairs Department or not, anyone who disobeys will be shot on sight.

When faced with complaints from malicious soldiers, the fleet commander always has only one way to handle them: keep them in the dark and don't issue a report.

Just kidding. Anyone with eyes can see that the battlefield situation is on the verge of collapse. It's already a blessing from the Emperor that the Astartes are willing to take over. As for whether there will be another support fleet, and if so, when it will arrive, who knows?

Now that the malicious warriors have taken over full command, even if the battle is lost and the planet falls, the fleet commander will still have a say.

It's a rare opportunity for a non-stick pan, and he's not stupid to challenge Astartes.

After simply pushing the defense zone outwards by several dozen kilometers, Katz immediately halted the Nest City offensive.

Morale is high now, simply because these ten astral legions are capable of fighting. Encouraged by the arrival of reinforcements, the local garrison is holding their breath.

However, this stimulant effect was not enough to allow the Imperial forces to sweep through the Chaos Cultists and the Krut in one fell swoop.

The first thing to do is to reclaim the surrounding industrial areas, localize the supply of materials, and alleviate logistical pressure.

Although the population still under the Empire's control on the star system's main planet is less than fifty million, the Empire has no shortage of people.

As long as production can be resumed, even if only partially, personnel can be mobilized from the sub-sector via interstellar communication.

The power of the phrase "meals provided" is something only officers who have served in the Empire truly understand how terrifying it is.

To others, the death of the planetary governor and the fact that his second son was a complete waste of space was a huge disadvantage for the Empire.

But in Kaz's eyes, the second-generation rich kid is great. He's not afraid of the second-generation rich kid being incompetent, but he's afraid of the second-generation rich kid trying to prove himself.

As they spent more time together, Kaz discovered a problem: the First Legion and the Twentieth Legion, one at the beginning and one at the end, were incredibly similar.

They are all all-rounders.

If it were a four- or eight-hit combo, not many gang members could keep up with Kaz's pace.

However, these fallen angels and Ah Fa truly understood what their leader was doing.

It's about purging the court of corrupt officials.

Those who were cowardly or reckless in battle were all dealt with, while those who dared to fight and were willing to fight were promoted on the spot. The new governor was put in his hands, and he was given the promise of the distribution of the fruits of victory after the planet was restored. In less than a month, Kaz completely became the uncrowned king of the hive city and the de facto dictator.

"Help... Company Commander, the report is ready."

"Very good. Go and take stock of the warehouse. I plan to deploy another 20,000 men for the counterattack next week to make up for the shortage of supplies."

"Company commander, there's been a workers' strike at the bottom of the nest."

"Do I need to teach you this? Go to the top of the nest and catch people. Treat the symptoms, not the root cause."

"Company commander, the governor's villa is complaining that the food standards have been lowered again."

"Go ask the governor whether it was his intention or someone was using his name to sabotage me."

Seeing that this clueless Afa was still waiting for more detailed instructions, Kaz's anger flared up instantly.

Then it quickly subsided.

"Go for it! We malicious warriors are here to win battles, not to become mountain kings."

Oh, Afa suddenly realized that even Astartes was a bit overloaded by this high-intensity, non-stop work. He didn't realize for a moment that we were playing the role of malicious warriors, not dark angels, let alone extreme warriors.

Mine, mine.

When Alpha is used in the right place, it is extremely effective; at least these Alphas are quite adept at political work.

Besides, Kars doesn't have a mental fastidiousness problem. It's not a bad thing for us malicious warriors to forcibly recruit whatever we fancy.

With both public and private interests aligned, there's motivation to get things done.

Katz wasn't born a master of balancing things, but he truly honed it over his long career as a general.

Alevia, listen to me, thank you. Because of you, the Book of Revelation is effortless...

Compared to the remnants of the Makarian Expeditionary Force, the conservatives here are far less pure. Kaz hasn't even exerted any effort yet, and they've already fallen apart on their own.

The main reason is that the malicious fighters displayed such high levels of professionalism.

The initial sense of despair eased after reinforcements arrived, and with Kaz leading the team from one victory to another, the situation on the planet was genuinely improving.

Most importantly, Katz has never been interested in expanding his territory on maps; his strategic plans have always been geared towards wiping out the enemy's entire family.

You fool! If I kill you, everything else is mine!

Therefore, under Kaz's command, the instructions received by the Astragalus Army were extremely clear: where to go, how many to kill, how long to hold out, and even the retreat was scheduled for a specific time. Those who failed to arrive at the assembly point by the deadline would be treated as deserters.

This combat style, where soldiers hand over their brains to command, is actually quite comfortable for frontline soldiers.

In particular, half of the Astronauts refused to retreat because they were caught up in the fighting, and after being mowed down by macro cannons, everyone learned their lesson.

When the command center gave the order to retreat, we took off running without hesitation.

Under the organized and planned attack of the Empire's regular army, Nest City successfully recovered the two surrounding industrial zones.

Although the factory buildings and equipment were damaged to some extent, and the Chaos logo was smeared everywhere.

However, we can deal with the aftermath later. Right now, immediately, we must organize manpower to carry out the purification work, and then immediately, right now, we must arrange for the workers to resume work.

With a population of less than fifty million, the Astartes can even bypass the empire's bureaucratic system and conduct vertical management.

After all, the great Robert Guilliman had genuinely considered assigning an Ultramariner to manage an Empire world after the Great Crusade.

Cultists are not difficult to deal with. Although some mutated individuals are indeed quite capable in individual combat, few who embrace chaos are not insane. Without organization, how can a group of troops possibly defeat the Imperial Astral Army, which is coordinated by the Astartes?

The real trouble began after Kaz pushed the front lines to the border with the Kruts.

Damn it, how many round-faced chickens do these Krutians eat in one meal? They have night vision and can fly. They caught the Astral Legion completely off guard as soon as they made contact.

If it weren't for the Imperial Navy's emergency support, an entire Astral Army Class A regiment would have been wiped out.

However, that's where the problem lies.

The largest ships in the support fleet are frigates, which can carry a lot of fighter jets.

The Empire has no way to provide effective air cover for its ground troops.

So after a moment's thought, Katz issued the order to retreat the front line by fifteen kilometers.

"Isera, can you do me a favor?"

"uh-huh?"

"Go and find out what's going on with those Krut people."

"Beg me."

"Yes, I beg you."

No, I mean...

In fact, Atansa's warrior form wasn't a tsundere; she was just teasing Kaz.

However, faced with Kaz's frankness, or rather, shamelessness, Ysera still felt that winning was more painful than losing.

The opportunity to observe the Imperial Civil War up close, especially from the Imperial command center, is not something cheap.

The world of Atanza's Ark was already shrouded in the Eye of Terror when the Emperor was still playing a battle royale game with the Tech Barbarians on Holy Terra. Therefore, the Eldar born in Atanza really didn't have any deep-seated hatred for the Imperial humans.

I used to stay on the Ishimura, but now I've switched to the Ishimura No. 2. It's been a bit unsettling not to move around for so long.

Since Kaz has come to her for help, she'll reluctantly move a little.

"Boss, the Adalings are not to be trusted."

Katz nodded in agreement with Trois's suggestion.

"Her gang has been eating and using me for free for so long, and they still dawdle when I ask them to do some work. The Adaling people are just so pretentious."

Trois immediately realized he had been overthinking things after hearing such a blunt and straightforward statement.

My own leader, that blacksmith, hey Troys, you really deserve to die!

Chapter 442 The Demon King of the Beginner Village

A person who smiles for no reason is either extremely bored or in great pain.

-------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------

If you want to be a good leader, the first priority is to never let your subordinates guess what you're thinking.

Although Kars kept emphasizing victory, victory, and damn victory, he had absolutely no intention of continuing the fight to the end.

Because it is not necessary.

The reason Ysera was tasked with contacting the Krut was simply because the Empire's reputation was so poor that the Krut refused to engage with them.

If it were the Adarin, they would ask the question immediately.

As expected, there are only so many main players in the Purgatory Galaxy, so Kaz wasn't surprised at all that Comoros was causing trouble behind the scenes.

But here's the problem: a Krut people of this size couldn't possibly be assembled from just one or even a few clans. Why would Black Sprouts spend so much money to acquire so many Krut mercenaries?

It's important to understand that while black bean sprouts are generally not as powerful as white bean sprouts, their sheer population size means they possess the capability for large-scale military operations.

In other words, those SM enthusiasts don't actually need to waste their money.

Interstellar mercenaries are not cheap, especially large-scale interstellar mercenaries. If you dare to default on your payments, others will dare to arm themselves to demand your wages.
