The First War on Another World (Part One)
This time, Alvin was completely going all out.
Even if the worst outcome was being wanted by the Imperium, he wouldn't care at all.
If they really come knocking on his door, he'll just take his men and run away to the Black Zone, never to return!
But if he just sat by and watched Elsa and the others be trapped in Celerus and wait to die, he wouldn't be able to swallow his anger!
He then turned his gaze to the vast sea of people. The initial commotion and whispers gradually disappeared under his silent, Psychic Power aura, and the place instantly became quiet.
He had to admit it was a huge gamble!
Bioroid, bio-tyrants, 3K humans, mechanical soul life forms.
Putting everything else aside, the sheer complexity of the ingredients alone is enough to kill him tens of thousands of times over.
Fortunately, the scene he imagined—where the world changed and the Four Gods arrived as soon as his dimensional army landed—did not happen.
Although he didn't quite understand the reason, that wasn't something he needed to consider for the time being.
Now that the "Four Gods" were no longer involved and the last remaining threat had been completely eliminated, Alvin was ready to unleash his full power and cause a ruckus!
His first order was for all legions to occupy the border Middle Hive and Underhive in a state of alert, and to wipe out the remaining Genestealer forces.
Then, arrange the defensive lines in order of tiers!
Immediately afterwards, Alvin summoned the highest commanders of each legion. He needed to gather as much intelligence as possible in order to decide on the specific tactics for the battle!
War, in essence, is all about calculation.
Alvin strongly agrees with the idea of achieving goals with relatively low costs.
It might seem exciting to see people rushing in headfirst, but in reality, it's pointless except for squandering all the wealth he's painstakingly accumulated!
"Paying the highest respect to the High Lord of Holy Terra!" Char, the young man who shone brightly in the Transformers world, was promoted to the commander-in-chief of this legion.
And Char certainly did not disappoint him.
The First Auxiliary Army of Holy Terra that he assembled numbered around 190,000. In order to meet Alvin's requirements and gather this elite force, he almost emptied out the entire world!
It can be said that this first support team of 190,000 people is Alvin's most substantial asset to date!
Terra's Chief Forging Sentinel Prime, created special combat suits specifically for this legion. These modular armors, made from secondary synthetic metals, can provide different levels of support modules depending on the combat requirements.
In addition to their combat uniforms, every auxiliary soldier's weapons have also undergone a complete upgrade!
The heavy armored firepower within the army group has also been completely revamped by Sentinel Prime. It's fair to say that, currently, this First Auxiliary Army is no less equipped than the orthodox Astra Militarum!
The only differences between them and the Astra Militarum are their fighting spirit, skills, and experience.
Celerus was a very good trial!
The Tyrant Bio-Army's equipment hasn't undergone significant upgrades; instead, it's incorporated Transformers technology. Each individual has been implanted with a self-destruct device, ensuring the virus can be completely eradicated at the cellular level!
Of course, Alvin even doubted that even if the virus leaked out, given the "Benevolent Father" Nurgle's status, he probably wouldn't even bother to look at it.
Zombie virus—this thing is practically everywhere in the Warhammer Universe. Nurgle's zombie virus is much more potent than the T-Virus, and its spread is entirely based on mystical methods!
There's not much to worry about with the Bioroid army; aside from upgrading some of their biological cores and electromagnetic weapons, there haven't been any major changes.
Then comes the most important, and Alvin's biggest trump card: the Transformers army!
After gaining a general understanding of his own situation, Alvin had already formed a preliminary plan in mind.
First of all, a head-on collision is definitely not an option. With such a small number of people, even if you threw them all in, you might not even be able to create a significant splash.
From another perspective, they are also the only force that came out of everyone's expectations. Although they are few in number, they can play a vital role when the time is right!
Who says you can't fight off a larger group if you're outnumbered?
A certain great figure from the 2K era has already set an example and shown how to fight when you have fewer people than others!
It's very simple, just stick to the six-word principle!
You want to conquer the Hive City? Then he'll do something drastic, stabbing you in the back!
After Alvin explained the entire battle plan, he turned his attention to the Hive City.
Now, the moment of truth will be revealed!
The commotion on the periphery did not attract much attention.
In fact, whether it's the Genestealer, the Chaos Raptors, or the Hell Dragon, their main focus is on Celerus.
This Hive City, resembling an iron fortress, truly lives up to its name as Styx Eight!
As Grand Sage, Drakris's defensive measures in the core area were utterly insane.
Besides the dense barrage of artillery fire that filled the sky, he even saw several arrays of "Plasma Annihilators," their enormous muzzles ripping apart the atmosphere and the ground with every brilliant blue beam of light they fired!
After that beam of plasma light disappeared, what remained was a ravine hundreds of meters in diameter!
No life will remain along its path; its extremely high temperature is enough to vaporize steel and even Power Armor.
The infected, dressed in ordinary clothes and carrying dilapidated Logging gun, quickly filled the "vacancies" left by the annihilation with sheer numbers, continuing to shout "For the Emperor" as they charged toward the steel fortress.
To be honest, if Alvin hadn't been on the opposing side, he might have even wanted to applaud them.
These people are even more fanatical than the Khorne followers. After being brainwashed by the Hive Mind, they have completely lost their rationality. They don't care about tactics at all, nor are they afraid of sacrifice. In any case, no matter how many people are sacrificed, the Hive Mind doesn't care.
Suddenly, a deafening roar came from behind the Genestealer!
Drakris, who was intently observing the battle from the Celerus Fortress, was also drawn by the deafening roar and turned his gaze in that direction!
The next moment, a barrage of shells, like a dense rain of bullets, rained down like hail!
Countless impact points kicked up tons of dust, and amidst the thick smoke and flames of the explosion, the air temperature instantly rose several levels!
"Where... where did this person come from?!"
Drakris stared in disbelief at the massive army of hundreds of thousands that occupied the area where the middle Underhive met!
For a few seconds, he felt as if his thought process was about to crash.
"Grand Sage, those don't seem to be... the Astra Militarum?" The blacksmith beside him also noticed that the people's attire was clearly different from that of the Astra Militarum!
"Mrs..."
Drakris's lips trembled, and he couldn't utter a word for a long time, his eyes fixed on that spot.
"You mean... they're too heretical?"
The forger, trying to decipher the man's meaning, cautiously said, "I also think those people are too heretical; they don't even have any Imperial Aquila insignia!"
"What a waste!!!"
Finally, Drakris, having calmed down, let out a double-character swear word!
He was Forge Grand Sage, proficient in mechanical engineering. Even from hundreds of miles away, he could tell at a glance just how "luxurious" the modular armor worn by the soldiers of that human legion was!
Let's put it this way: if the Imperium had this kind of armor, it wouldn't be available to most of the Astra Militarum; it should at least be reserved for the Storm Faithful!
Etc...
A young face suddenly flashed through Drakris's mind. "These people, could they be... the work of that kid?!"
