Set Out for Pertita!

In the past, Tyran's goals were basically driven by biological instincts and a greedy craving for Biomass.

The Imperium's response strategy is often quite simple: to artificially create a biodiversity extinction zone along the swarm's path, forcing the Tyran to change course because they cannot obtain enough Biomass.

But this time—in the battle of the Stygian System — Tyran's Leviathan Bio-ship overturned the Imperium's understanding!

The swarm not only had a clear target for attack, but it also anticipated the Imperium's actions in advance, sending a biological fleet to besiege the "Aeros" Industrial World and cut off the Imperium forces' logistics!

It's almost as if Tyran has gained "wisdom"!

They are no longer attacking blindly, but have become driven by a strong purpose, and all their actions are not merely for the sake of Biomass.

This is outrageous!

The Tyran already had an advantage in terms of rapid evolution, reproduction, and numbers; now that they've developed a war-like mindset, wouldn't they be even more troublesome?

We need to hurry.

Alvin murmured softly, realizing that the Leviathan Bio-ship he was facing this time was no longer the Tyranid Swarm that had previously rampaged through the land, but an enemy with an intelligence level equal to that of humans!

While he was pondering, he re-contacted Colonel Jansett, who was stationed at the Aeros mining platform fighting against Tyran, and asked, "Colonel Jansett, how much longer can you hold out?"

"Three days at most." Colonel Jansett considered for a moment, then said seriously, "Without reinforcements, Aeros's defenses can only hold out for three more days at most!"

Three days... not enough!

Even with several thousand mining machines deployed, it would be difficult to collect enough Promethium in three days.

Moreover, this amount of time is simply not enough for him to travel back and forth to Pertita!

Alvin paused for a few seconds, then said, "If I were to get two more Space Marine Chapter to assist you, how long do you think you could hold out?"

"At most five days."

Colonel Jansett replied honestly, "Based on my experience fighting the Tyran, this is just their advance fleet. The main force will arrive here soon. Five days—that's the deadline!"

"Okay, five days it is!"

Alvin slammed his hand on the table, his brow furrowing. "Five days. No matter what, even if we all die in battle..."

You must also protect Aeros for me!

"Yes!"

Jansett stood at attention, his face resolute. "By the Emperor, the 1433rd Air Regiment of Cadian swears to hold Aeros for five days! As long as I live, not a single Tyran will cross my lines!"

After the tense deployment concluded, Alvin pondered for a moment, then summoned Carroll: "Lord Carroll, I have a very important task for you, a matter of life and death. I can only trust you!"

Hearing him say that, Carroll immediately had a bad feeling. "Master, you're not going to do something dangerous again, are you?!"

He's almost developed PTSD from Alvin's antics!

What Merchant Dynasty patriarch would cause so much trouble all the time? Wouldn't it be better to just stay on the ship?!

He suddenly felt a pang of nostalgia for the days when old man Horn was around... at least it wasn't this exciting back then!

Previously, on Alert Star, when she encountered Abaddon's Black Crusade, Carroll thought that was exciting enough. But she never expected that she would encounter an entire Tyran fleet as soon as she arrived on the Dark Imperium!

If things continue like this, he seriously suspects that something even more terrifying might happen next time!

"Rest assured, Lord Carroll." Alvin, not wanting his loyal and devoted family Grand Sage to worry, said, "There's absolutely no danger this time; this is just a precaution!"

Carroll was helpless, but he knew that once Alvin made a decision, it was difficult to change it, much like Horn: "Alright, Master—" "—But I still want to say, your life is very important. You are the last bloodline of the entire Valshius Family. Please! Please! Please be careful!"

Seeing Carroll's worry, Alvin patted him on the shoulder. "Don't worry, I've come all the way from the Underhive, I'm tough as nails, nothing's going to happen to me!"

With that, he transferred control of the Void Claw to Carroll, instructing her, "No matter what, you must control the airspace between Aeros and Pertita!"

Pertita and Aeros were very close, but they were located right on the path that Tyran was advancing on.

Therefore, if you want to go to Pertita and find the Hyperdimensional Cube that Torzak mentioned might imprison the "C'tan", you must ensure that your escape route is not cut off by Tyran's fleet!

Otherwise, Alvin and his group would be surrounded by the Leviathan bio-fleet. Having Carroll control the "Void Claw" was a way for him to secure his own escape route.

If Aeros falls and cannot hold out for five days, then Carroll and the Void Claw will be their last trump card to ensure their retreat!

However, even with the Void Claw, it doesn't mean they can rest easy.

The Tyrannosaurus Bio-Flight is not something that can be dealt with by a mere "divine artifact." This thing can only affect the outcome of local battles; to think that it can turn the tide of a war is wishful thinking.

After completing all of the above, Alvin went to the Transformers world and urgently mobilized thousands of professional mining machines, all of which were deployed to Aeros.

This would significantly improve the efficiency of Promethium collection, although five days is still a very short time.

This could at least allow us to stockpile a large amount of war resources for future wars!

Then, Alvin found the "recluse" cat in the high-class single cabin. "Great Lord Torzak, it's time for us to set off."

"Me too?"

Torzak was stunned.

"Of course." Alvin gave him a strange look. "Since you said it yourself, there's Hyperdimensional Cube on Pertita, if you don't go, who will control it?"

That was Necron, a miracle that imprisoned a "Star God Fragment." Alvin didn't believe he had the power to control even a Star God Fragment.

If this thing escapes, the entire Materium will be doomed!

Not to mention anything too far, but throughout the entire Stygian System, including Tyran's Bio-ship, nobody will survive.

Let's all huddle together and wait to die!

In Torzak's empty eye sockets, a substance resembling will-o'-the-wisps flickered, extremely unwilling. "Human, don't go too far. I've already told you there's Hyperdimensional Cube there, why should I accompany you on this adventure?"

He's not stupid. Why would he risk his life in Pertita for the sake of humanity, especially since it's on Tyran's route? What if he encounters them there?

Unfortunately, Alvin's casual remark changed Torzak's mind.

"Well, that's a real shame."

He sighed regretfully and said tactfully, "If, by some accident, I release the imprisoned Star God Fragment —I suppose you won't blame me?"

Torzak felt threatened, but he was the one who told him that Pertita might possess Hyperdimensional Cube that imprisoned Star God Fragment.

If the Star God Fragment escape, he'll probably be the first one to suffer!

"Fine, I'll go with you!" Torzak sighed. Why is it so hard to be a homebody?
