The Dire News!
As the Lord of Baal, the Chapter Master the Blood Angels, and possessing numerous legendary honors, Dante himself is sung as a myth, and rarely has a moment of silence.
But this time is an exception.
The complete relocation of the entire Higanbana Radiata civilization world should have been exciting news, but along with this Warp Astropathic Message came a letter that had been sent several days earlier.
Generally speaking, there are very few letters that need to be recorded on parchment and delivered in written form. Only a few important pieces of information would use this ancient method to avoid being disturbed or affected by the Warp.
Upon receiving the letter and seeing the wax seal of the Valshius Family, Dante was immediately startled, mistakenly thinking that something had happened to Alvin.
But soon, after he unwrapped the sealing wax and took out the letter inside, he realized that the one in trouble was not Alvin, but rather... those nobles.
In the world of the Higanbana Lily civilization, a total of 870,000 nobles "voluntarily" fought against the Tyranid Swarm, living up to their noble honor and sacrificing their lives for their country.
When Dante finished reading the letter, he almost thought he had misread it. He read it carefully several more times before confirming that he had not made a mistake.
It has to be said that although he had long anticipated that sending that kid to do this job might cause a huge mess, he never expected that the kid could be so ruthless!
Even he was shocked. Those were a full 870,000 Imperium nobles, high-ranking nobles recognized and rewarded by Terra. And yet, that kid wiped them all out, leaving not a single one behind!
If this gets back to the Imperium, Dante doesn't even want to imagine the uproar it will cause in the Ministry of the Interior, or how the other nobles will view this kid!
"Alvin —you're really good at causing me trouble." Dante pinched the bridge of his nose, a hint of worry on his face.
That kid can disregard his reputation and slaughter hundreds of thousands of nobles; as the one who cleans up the mess, he can't be so crude.
Ultimately, they were still nobles!
They are the class that maintains the stability of the Imperium. Once the nobles find out about this, barring any unforeseen circumstances...
They will definitely unite to demand an explanation from the Imperium!
Even nobles can kill so recklessly; this kid is simply audacious. Should we say he has no political acumen, or is he just incredibly stubborn?
Just thinking about the consequences gave Dante a headache.
This matter has already involved the interests of the Imperium nobility, and even as the Chapter Master the Blood Angels Chapter, he can hardly quell the anger of the Imperium nobility.
After all, if you kill so many nobles today and get no punishment, does that mean you can kill them all tomorrow?
What Alvin did was tantamount to breaking the tacit understanding among the nobles and completely tearing off the mask of civility!
Flipping the table is indeed the quickest way to solve a problem, but it also means that others no longer have to follow the rules.
Nobles abide by the rules because the rules are beneficial to both sides, rather than engaging in baseless fighting. No one wants to see a chaotic and disorderly situation.
You can't cover it up.
This matter is too big, involving too many aspects, and besides, Dante doesn't believe that those nobles didn't send a message to Terra before they were forced to their deaths.
After pondering for a long time, Dante sighed, reluctantly picked up his pen, dipped it in ink, and wrote a few words on the parchment, "Your Excellency Regent, Primarch, Lord of the Ultramarines, Robert Guilliman, I am Louis Dante, Blood Lord."
Since he can't solve it, why not just find someone who can?
Primarch Robert Guilliman, awakened from the Age of Myth, should be able to suppress the High Lord' decision regarding Terra, right?
After several days of work, the relocation was successfully completed.
The entire world of the Higanbana Flower civilization—including its Forge Factory, giant machinery, equipment, population, and other resources—was transferred to the Alien World, a habitable planet under the control of Weyland.
But next, Alvin will face an even more severe test, namely— Aeros 1.
Aeros is a gas giant that has been designated a mining world by the Imperium. It is surrounded by numerous mining platforms and employs 1.2 million miners.
In addition, the Cadian 1433rd Air Wing is stationed there, under the command of Major Henrietta Jansett, which maintains air superiority and provides support to the defense forces.
The population and industry of this planet are secondary; its most important resource is its ability to produce Promethium for the Imperium!
Promethium is a crucial fuel, essentially the foundation of Warhammer's "oil industry." It is widely used in Imperium industry and weaponry, for example, as fuel for flamethrowers and flamethrower-type weapons, as well as for plasma generators and starship propulsion. In many ways, it plays a vital role.
They are all irreplaceably important!
Aeros has an extremely high production of Promethium and is a crucial cornerstone for maintaining the operation of the Stygian System and Baal System. If it were to be occupied by Tyran, it would mean that they would lose a major resource point.
In conclusion, Aeros is also a target of the Tyranid Swarm. With the two outer defensive rings breached, the Tyran Hive Fleet Leviathan is now poised to strike Tartarus and Aeros!
Currently, dozens of Blood Angels cruisers are in Tartarus, doing their utmost to block the Zerg Hive Fleet Leviathan. Even so, the airspace around Aeros is being harassed by small Zerg fleets!
In other words, this time, Alvin needs to confront the Tyranid Swarm head-on and remove as many "Promethium" as possible right under their noses in order to increase his chances of winning the protracted war to come.
However, when Alvin's team arrived in Aeros, they discovered that the situation was far worse than he had imagined!
"Colonel Henry Jansett of the Cadian 1433rd Air Wing reporting for duty, Your His Highness Alvin!"
A very capable-looking man saluted Alvin, standing there straight like a newly drawn sword, its sharpness fully revealed.
"Colonel Jansett, I won't waste any more words. Report to me immediately about Aeros's condition." Alvin nodded and then inquired about Aeros's current situation.
The intelligence he received said that only a few small groups of Tyran were harassing Aeros, but what he saw with his own eyes was completely different!
The massive Hive Ship loomed above Aeros's airspace, continuously hurling "spores"—sac-like objects—at the gas giant!
Those are Tyran "troop transports," similar to Space Marine Drop Pod, which allow large numbers of Tyranid Swarm to quickly reach the planet's surface to fight!
Around the mothership, there were many small Tyranid creature- spacecraft, and the large amounts of plasma and shells illuminated the dark universe almost blindingly!
Clearly, Aeros was not just a small swarm of Zerg as the intelligence reports suggested, but a massive Tyranid Swarm. This meant that Tartarus's binary defense system had collapsed!
This is not good news.
Alvin knew all too well that once Tartarus's defenses were breached by Tyran's Leviathan Bio-ship, it would mean... no time left!
They have no more defensive zones and will face the real Tyranid Swarm, the Leviathan Bio-ship!
