"Perhaps You Will Be Assigned the Weighty Task of Unification"

The unification of Earth 19 had thoroughly entered its final stage.

Since Leoya Shivaline Vitellius, commander of the Glory Legion, personally led her troops through the Space Gate, they had worked alongside the elite forces commanded by Phoros, commander of the Lamenters Company, and swiftly cleared out most of the Blood Cross Infected's territory.

The cities that had once been trapped in nightmares had now returned to the Empire's territory.

With tightly disciplined formations and machine-like efficiency, the Glory Legion eradicated countless Infected nests hidden underground, amid ruins, and within forests.

Meanwhile, relying on the extraordinary strength of over three thousand Astartes, along with more than a million auxiliary troops and logistical personnel of all kinds, the Lamenters Company completely turned the tide of the war.

In fact, a force of this scale could sweep across an entire planet, or even a whole star system, with a single company even against stronger Xenomorphs or heretics.

By that measure, the unification war on Earth 19 had been a virtually assured victory, which was why no other Legion had dispatched even a single company to participate.

Before the cleansing phase had even concluded, reconstruction began in full force.

The Empire's modular reconstruction plan was implemented with remarkable efficiency—

The Engineering Department deployed countless heavy mechs and a "vast number" of construction robots, Terminators, and Hunter-Killers. Ruins were cleared away in swathes, while new urban districts rose from the ground within mere days.

Towering clusters of megastructure apartments resembled forests of steel, arranged in orderly "matrices" throughout the central areas of the former cities.

Each apartment building could house ten thousand people and came equipped with complete energy supply and life-support systems, enough to ensure that refugees found shelter in the shortest possible time.

At the same time, the transportation network was redesigned.
