From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

Chapter 579: Grand Master's Extermination Order Raid
At this time, the void of the galaxy was distorted, and the structure of reality seemed to be torn open by an invisible hand in the Coruscant galaxy;

Swish—shua—!
As a "vortex" representing the connection between the real universe and the leap space appeared and dissipated, a large-scale fleet had already "stood" on the outskirts of the star system.

The armor of the five hundred warships glowed with a cold metallic luster under the starlight. The light grey Word Bearers warships were engraved with sacred scriptures, while the dark blue hulls of the Midnight Lords were covered with menacing bone reliefs.

At the core of the fleet, the four Emperor-class battleships were like moving mountains of steel.

The Word Bearers' flagship, the Fire of Faith, has a bow that is a carved image of the Emperor's holy face from a single block of obsidian, with giant rubies embedded in its eyes emitting the light of judgment.
The flagship of the Midnight Lords, the "Night Blade", has three hundred new-style light spear arrays arranged on its sides, and each gun barrel is decorated with chains.

Around these behemoths, the cruisers formed a standard annihilation formation, destroyers and frigates cruised on the periphery like hounds, and the supply ships flashed navigation beacons under heavy protection.

In this ocean of steel, a uniquely shaped warship stands out.

Although the Grey Knights' flagship, the Inquisitor, is only three kilometers long, the silver-white armor covering its entire body makes it look like a floating cathedral.

On the giant metal wings spread out on both sides of the ship, each feather is a piece of fine gold plate engraved with exorcism scriptures. When its main engine is started, the wings on both sides are still condensing into dazzling ice crystal belts in the vacuum.

All warships entered combat silence at the same time.

On the Word Bearers' ships, the Librarians dressed as priests were blessing their brothers.

Inside the Night Lords' cabin, the normally taciturn Astartes were applying neurotoxin to their respective shock daggers.

In the holy room of the Inquisitor, the Grey Knights knelt before the statue of the Emperor and performed the final exorcism prayer.

The silence at this moment was more suffocating than any battle cry - like the fatal pause before the blade of the guillotine falls.

Although the combined fleet maintained absolute silence, the Chaos forces sensed their presence the moment they tore through the reality veil and sailed out of the slipspace.

The foul tides of the Warp surge endlessly, and the whispers of daemons send warnings through the void.

And, most importantly, this fleet cannot jump directly to Coruscant's low-Earth orbit.

The former galactic capital had long since become a distorted realm where reality and the subspace overlapped after Darth Vader sacrificed trillions of lives.

Its orbit is riddled with unstable dimensional rifts, and any unprotected ship that ventures into it will be torn apart by the violent energies of the Warp, or swallowed up by the corrupting waves of Chaos.

Therefore, the combined fleet could only cautiously anchor on the outskirts of the Coruscant system, waiting for further tactical deployment.

Inside the bridge of the Grey Knights' flagship, the Inquisitor, the heavy atmosphere almost solidified into substance.

The holographic projection on the center console flashed with a cold blue light, reflecting the majestic figures of the two Primarchs.

Lorgar, the High Priest of the Word Bearers, his holographic image shrouded in the holy light of the tome;
And Curze, the Dark Lord of the Night Lords, was like a vague shadow, with only his eyes glowing with cold light clearly visible.

Standing before them was Cardo Diego, the Grand Master of the Grey Knights of the Human Empire of the Main Universe.

After donning the Holy Shield Terminator armor, his height rose to three meters and three centimeters, and his entire body was covered in adamantine armor engraved with exorcism runes, but his face revealed a fatigue that was inconsistent with his majesty.

Although the great mentor looks young, his hairline is already "precarious", and his sparse blond hair can barely cover the faint light on top of his head.

Obviously, the long-term task of fighting against chaos has put unimaginable pressure on his body and mind.

At this time, the bridge of the Inquisitor was shrouded in a solemn blue light, and the air was filled with burning incense.

"Everyone." Lorgar's voice was low and solemn, "We must plan our next route carefully. Coruscant's orbital layer has been completely contaminated by Chaos."

Curze's tone was as cold as ever: "If we rush in directly, our fleet will only become a feast for the demons of the warp."

Luo Jia's holographic image flickered slightly with the energy fluctuations, and the scripture scrolls hanging from the sleeves of his heavy priest robe moved without wind.

The Word Bearers Primarch raised his left hand, and tiny sparks seemed to burst out when the metal knuckles came into contact with the holographic star map.

"We must be as careful as a surgeon treating an infected wound." His voice resonated in every corner of the bridge, and even the air trembled with it. "Coruscant's low-Earth orbit and gravity range are now like a sore covered with corrupt pus. Touching it rashly will only spread the poison."

Upon hearing this, Koz's image suddenly twisted and deformed, like a ball of stirred ink.

When his body recondensed, a rather frightening sneer appeared on his face, and he said, "I want to see what wonderful expressions those demons will show when they find out that their feast has become the last supper."

"."

As for Grand Master Diego, he was looking at the planet marked in dark purple on the star map, namely Coruscant, and noticed that there were thousands of small red dots orbiting it, which were Chaos patrol fleets.

As the great mentor subconsciously tightened his grip on the hilt of the holy sword, the servo system of the power armor emitted a slight hum.

Luo Jia's finger slid across the star map, and the three-dimensional projection of the ninth planet, Inproco, immediately enlarged.

The surface of this frozen world is covered with crisscrossing deep blue rifts, just like the bulging blood vessels on the back of an old man's hand.

"Here." Luo Jia's fingertips tapped out invisible ripples on the ice surface of the holographic image, and continued:

"The temperature in Inproko is maintained at -190 degrees Celsius all year round. According to preliminary scans, the Chaos corruption level there is only 7.3%, making it the ideal springboard. After all, most of the scum hate the cold."

The holographic image suddenly switched to a tactical simulation screen;
Tens of thousands of landing capsules hit the tundra of Inproko like hail, leaving black burn marks on the white snow, and within 24 hours, all the chaotic forces there were cleared.

Curze said: "Let those Nurgle-worshipping maggots shiver in their ice caves. They will soon understand—"

"--Cold is better at preserving evidence of crimes than fire." Diego suddenly responded. This was the first time he spoke since the meeting began.

A hint of approval flashed in Luo Jia's eyes, and then his broad palm pressed on the center console, and the holographic projection immediately switched to a breathtaking preview of destruction.

When the Extinction Order in the simulation was officially activated, the air in the entire bridge stagnated, and dozens of Extinction Order weapons code-named "Q Bombs" (Galaxy Fleet) rose from the Emperor-class orbital launch silos.

The "Messengers of Death" with blue tails penetrated the turbid atmosphere of Coruscant. In the milliseconds before they touched the ground, the burst of light caused the holographic projection to automatically lower its brightness.

The entire planet fell apart like a glass work crushed by a giant. The shock wave crushed the once towering buildings into glittering clouds of dust. The most terrifying thing was the flesh and blood buildings that were squirming on the edge of the explosion. They twitched violently like insects thrown into strong acid and turned into pus.

The once glorious interstellar city was shattered into pieces in the fierce explosion.

"We must complete the cleansing and possession of Improco within 24 hours." Lorgar's voice suddenly became as cold as the ice layer of Improco. "Every second of delay may allow the venom of the Warp to penetrate the blood vessels of the real universe. Then, with our strongholds, we can gradually penetrate the Chaos defense line and implement the extermination order on Coruscant. While there are no more heretics and demons pouring out of the rifts, I will also prepare large-scale psionic spells to completely cut off Chaos' large-scale corruption of the One Seven (Star Wars) universe."

"Well, let those bastards live a little longer."

In this regard, Koz was the first to express his position.

"."

Diego nodded in agreement.

As the resolution was completed, the holographic images of the two Primarchs dissipated.

When the last of the holographic blue light faded, the Inquisitor's bridge was once again enveloped in dim red combat lighting.

Diego stood alone in front of the tactical center console, the exorcism scriptures on the Aegis Terminator glowing faintly in the dark. His fingers gently ran across the star map, staring at the fleet mark on it that was being repositioned.

Outside the bridge observation window, the curtain of the universe was torn apart again.

Swish—shua—!
The warp engines of more than 500 warships simultaneously emitted a dazzling blue-white light, as if the stars were stretched into silk threads in an instant.

These steel behemoths completed a textbook tactical jump in precise formation, with hundreds of millions of kilometers of distance being folded across the quantum foam.

When the reality structure stabilized again, the entire fleet had formed a circular array, surrounding the frozen ninth planet, Inproko.

Ri~Swoosh————! !

The moment the fleet completed its positioning, the electromagnetic gun arrays of hundreds of battleships were charged at the same time.

The silent hum of the vacuum permeated the ship, creating a teeth-aching resonance within the bridge.

As the order to fire was given, the entire starry sky was suddenly illuminated by the azure lightning of death.

These needle-shaped steel bullets reached at least 3% of the speed of light the moment they left the barrel. The Chaos Sentinels watching on the ice field didn't even have time to blink before they were torn into pieces by the metal storm that crossed the orbit.

The commander of the Fallen Fleet stationed here, who is also a former admiral of the Galactic Empire, is looking at the tactical screen in horror.

Its compound eye, blessed by Chaos, spun madly, reflecting the enemy fleet that suddenly filled the entire observation window.

Just ten minutes ago, it was assuring the demon that this outpost was absolutely safe.

“They should head straight for Coruscant!” the Admiral’s rotting vocal cords screamed, the pus oozing from the command chair revealing its true fear.

However, before the corrupt admiral could make further deployments, the combined fleet of the human empire had already focused its attention on the Chaos Star Destroyer he was on, and he himself was burned to ashes in the violent explosion.

As the Chaos defenders scrambled to activate their defenses, the Night Lords' specially crafted jammer torpedoes had already penetrated their shields.

These warheads loaded with nightmare "viruses" drilled through the hull and exploded inside the ship, causing all operators to fall into the most horrifying illusions at the same time.

As the orbital bombardment continued, large areas of Inproko's permafrost surface began to collapse.

The Chaos Temples hidden beneath the ice were exposed to the vacuum, and countless ongoing blasphemous rituals were forced to be interrupted.

The most ironic thing was that when the main gun of the Emperor-class battleship "Fire of Faith" hit the largest temple, what erupted was not the common plasma flame, but a storm of consecrated liquid nitrogen -

These "kisses of death" at minus 210 degrees Celsius forever froze the heretics who tried to escape in the moment of panic.

The Chaos forces stationed here were caught off guard by this sudden attack.

The former Galactic Empire fleet, which had become heretic, apparently believed that after completing the jump voyage, Curze, Lorgar and others would go straight to the core area of ​​Coruscant and ignore the "inconspicuous" areas where they were stationed.

Who would have thought that Koze, Lorgar and others were fighting here, otherwise why would the corrupt admiral let out a desperate roar.

Immediately after the combined fleet completed the seizure of orbital control, it began preparing for landing operations.

Nearly a hundred aircraft carriers and cruisers carrying a large number of ground troops aimed their bellies at the surface of the frozen planet, including the Grey Knights' flagship, the Inquisitor.

The Judge was like a giant silver-white bird spreading its wings. The moment the hatch at its bottom slid open, the brake nozzles lit up blue at the same time, forming a dazzling curtain of light in the vacuum.

As the landing order was given, tens of thousands of metal flowers suddenly bloomed in the universe.

Whoosh—whoosh—!!

Tens of thousands or even more airdrop capsules were ejected from the ships and began to carry out airborne operations.

The propulsion flames that burst out when each airdrop pod separated from the mothership, these airdrop pods carrying Astartes, Hell Paratroopers, Greek Demigods and Grey Knights, outlined fleeting red lines in the thin atmosphere of Inproko.

The remaining Chaos anti-aircraft turrets on the surface roared in vain, and the shells corroded by the energy of the subspace mysteriously exploded hundreds of meters away from the airdrop warehouse.

As soon as the only remaining group of TIE fighters took off, they were accurately killed by the light spear array in orbit. The burning wreckage fell on the ice field like the last twitch of a dying insect.

After suffering a round of orbital strikes from the Combined Fleet, the Chaos and Heretics were no longer able to conduct effective air interception and could only allow the airdrop pod to land.

The former Imperial stormtroopers huddled behind the firing holes of the Chaos Fortress. With their Chaos-blessed vision, they could vaguely see different declarations of death engraved on the surface of the airdrop capsule.

A Chaos Fortress covering an area of ​​about 20,000 square kilometers;

This fortress was originally one of the fortresses established by the Galactic Empire in Improco. It was deployed with a large number of stormtroopers, TIE fighters and small ships to guard the outermost part of Coruscant.

But as Darth Vader captured Coruscant, the garrisons throughout the galaxy also joined Darth Vader and defected to Chaos.

Boom—boom—!
More than a thousand airdrop pods were concentrated on the northern ice field of this Chaos Fortress.

Bang~——dong dong!

The sound of the airdrop bay doors opening began to spread across the ice field. The first person to come out was the Grey Knights' Grand Master, Cardo Diego.
