Warhammer: Beginning with Planetary Governors

Chapter 774 Horus: Enraged! What do you mean by feint? What do you mean by not using my full strength?!
Something's not right.

Such a harmonious scene behind the Great Wall of Steel in space left the peering Chaos with many questions.

When faced with the encroachment of chaos, shouldn't humanity be filled with fear and panic, or perhaps cry out for an emperor in despair?

But now, there is no chaos among the humans behind the defense line, including the mortals, who are all quietly enjoying their abundant food.

"Perhaps the empire is hiding all of this, and these mortals are unaware of the horrors they are about to face."

The chaotic consciousness within the corrupting fly thought this: it did not believe that mortals would be unafraid of the terror of demons.

At that moment, DeLainen's voice came through, tinged with excitement:

"Brothers, the order has come down. We will be stationed in the Eighth War Zone in three hours to resist the attack of the Chaos Demons."

"It seems this is a formal offensive by Chaos, otherwise the command center would have mobilized on such a large scale."

Upon hearing this, the veterans from Kadia and the burly man from Katachon perked up and smiled broadly. Even the veteran from Krieg raised his head, clearly in a good mood as well.

Their tension just now wasn't due to worry about the sheer number of Chaos Demons, but rather because the demons were attacking in massive numbers, and they wondered why it wasn't their turn to go to the front lines yet.
Meanwhile, other veteran soldiers in the restaurant area also received combat orders and were excited about confronting the demons.

They were all eager to try.

The veterans' excitement was inevitable. This battle to protect the sacred Terra was of extraordinary significance, and it would be a disgrace for warriors in the core of the Empire not to participate.

Simply put, the military affairs department believed that the unit was not combat-ready enough and was not even qualified to be sent to the front line, so it could only be relegated to a reserve unit.

Then they could only watch helplessly as others fought, serving the empire and watching others fight the demon foes and gain more glory.

In the new empire, wars aren't something you can just join whenever you want, especially crucial battles like this one that directly confront the Chaos God. So many troops are vying to seize glory and merit.

According to the Ministry of Military Affairs, this was a crucial battle for the Empire, a battle with a historical mission.

They participate in battles of this scale and earn honors, and the banners of honor are personally delivered to their home planet by the Savior's Ceremonial Team.

Furthermore, the relevant troops and personnel will be recorded in the history of the home planet's honor, and thus be worshipped and commemorated.

That was a special honor and reward mechanism established by the savior. Simply put, it was an enhanced version of the family tree with a separate page, and it was constantly being upgraded, from the home planet and the galaxy to the star sector.

For the highest level of honor, the Savior or the Emperor himself will personally deliver it to you with great fanfare, accompanied by glorious hymns that resound throughout the entire star sector, and will also build a monument to honor in the local area!

With such glorious treatment, wouldn't the soldiers charge forward with all their might?!

This greatly boosted the soldiers' fighting spirit and morale, enabling them to better combat the alien invaders.

Conversely, if they don't work hard enough and their combat effectiveness falls behind, they will become reserve troops sitting on the back bench, and they won't dare to speak loudly when facing other troops.

When they return to their home planet, how will they face their fellow countrymen and folks, saying that they went to Holy Terra to guard the Great Wall of Steel and just spent their time showing off their health and wellness?

What a shame?!
As the war order was issued, the atmosphere in the entire restaurant area became lively, and the veterans began to discuss war-related topics.

"Those spineless Chaos Demons were just feigning an attack before, they didn't look like they were really going to fight. This time they're serious."

The veteran from Kadia slammed his fist on the table excitedly and shouted.

Like most veterans, they discussed the situation of the Imperial War, which, to put it simply, was just boasting.

The new empire no longer hides much information about demons from mortals as it did before.

In particular, these veterans have more inside information about the war, know what they are fighting against, and why they are fighting.

Unlike the old Empire's Star Guard, who were completely in the dark, charging into their destination with just a "flashlight" and sometimes being wiped out without even knowing what their enemy looked like.

"I knew it! Those demons are even more cunning than our Catachan sucker trees. They're pretending to be weak in an attempt to deceive us."

Fortunately, those in command didn't believe us and continued with a conservative approach; otherwise, our lines would have been in danger!

The burly man from Katachan swallowed his steak and chimed in, seemingly deep in thought.

This muscular guy was talking non-stop, all that was missing was some drinks and a couple more dishes:

"I've heard that the one leading the Chaos army this time is the great traitor Horus. He's very good at commanding troops, and he's known as the war master and the dark emperor. Our empire must be careful and not act rashly... lest we fall into his trap!"

"That's right, I've heard about this too. My wife's cousin's second brother told me about it. He's a commander on the front lines and shouldn't be dead yet."

Horus was the most skilled commander among the empire's traitors on the Chaos side; treacherous, evil, cunning, and difficult to deal with.

The veteran from Kadia picked up the conversation, spittle flying everywhere: "It is said that if that great traitor is given even the slightest chance, he can break through the defenses. He is very terrifying. Fortunately, our empire is cautious enough and did not give him that chance."

Think about it, that guy was just feinting attacks before, not sending out many troops at all. This time, he probably won't be going all out either; he must have more elite troops lying in ambush, ready to strike when we're not paying attention!

???

Hearing these discussions, the chaotic entity within the putrid fly turned even greener.

While those imperial mortals were praising His Majesty Horus's power and cunning, it sounded as if they were humiliating him, humiliating us Chaos Demons!
What is a feint attack?

Previously, the Chaos Alliance had assembled its entire army and launched a full-scale attack, braving the bombardment of the steel Great Wall with its orbital ring full of artillery emplacements, and only managed to break through the defenses with great difficulty.

You mere mortals of the empire call that a feint attack? That's not right!
Moreover, the Chaos Gods have now summoned even more reinforcements and, under the command of His Majesty Horus, launched a full-scale attack, leaving virtually no room for retreat.

What do you mean there are even more elite troops lying in wait? That's utter nonsense!
The chaotic entity within the putrid fly buzzed angrily, but quickly calmed down:

"The words of these foolish mortals are meaningless; they are nothing but nonsense they ramble on while eating."

Ignore them.

Moreover, the arrogance of the Imperial army is a good thing for Chaos; His Majesty Horus will make them pay a heavy price!

The corrupt flies paid no further attention to the mortals; they were nothing more than cannon fodder.

However, when its compound eyes swept across the restaurant, it was quite surprised. The empire's logistical supplies were so abundant that even during wartime, freshly prepared food was provided.

It seems that humanity has ended its hunger, which is not good news for Chaos, especially for the merciful Father Nurgle, as there will be far fewer starving corpses to spread the plague.

Fortunately, once Chaos wins this war, the gods will unleash an even more terrifying corruption, resulting in bloodshed, planetary decay, and the withering of farmland.

This plunged the human empire back into darkness, leaving it to be slaughtered by chaos.

The decaying flies slipped past people's sight and quietly flew deeper into the defensive platform, trying to find out more information about the human defenders.

After all, it's not easy for it to infiltrate once; it requires a significant investment of resources.

“Father…” Afterwards, the Corruption Flies arrived at the warehouse area of ​​the defense platform and saw a densely packed reserve of supplies.

From military rations to weapons and ammunition, heavy artillery, vehicles, and war engines, everything is available.

The supplies here were so plentiful that many crates filled with supplies were piled up haphazardly on the ground of the square, reaching a height of one or two kilometers.

"Sorry, this is an order from the logistics department."

"It's a bit much, but we have to get these supplies over here."

The head of the logistics transport fleet seemed much more relaxed as he negotiated with the commander of the area.

Fortunately, the logistics department organized a large-scale fleet transport of related defensive materials during the construction of the Holy Terra Steel Wall.

This allowed them to successfully deliver the supplies before Chaos completely sealed off the solar system, thus avoiding dereliction of duty.

The head of the transport fleet transmitted the supply list, his tone somewhat sarcastic:

"In short, we have delivered the relevant supplies as ordered. How to store and consume them is something your 15th Group Army needs to consider."

Besides, His Majesty the Savior said that soldiers who don't know how to use firepower are not good soldiers. Surely you can handle even this little bit of ammunition?

Upon hearing this, the commander of the 15th Army Group's face darkened considerably.

He snorted coldly:
"Savior above, who says our 15th Army Group can't handle this? We will wipe out all our reserves in this battle and show those chaotic demons what we're made of!"

These commanders sometimes struggled because the logistics department often transported excessive amounts of supplies, putting considerable pressure on their firepower.

Since the establishment of the Holy Terra Steel Wall defense line, the logistics department has been working tirelessly to transport supplies and weapons to this area, serving the Empire in their own way.

In any case, the logistics department delivered military rations, weapons, and ammunition to the designated locations, thus fulfilling its mission.

The more supplies they have, the more loyal they become!
They contributed to this momentous battle of Holy Terra through their professional skills.

More importantly, the strategic materials stored by the logistics department can be used up again, reducing inventory pressure.

If the soldiers don't quickly deplete their stockpiles, how will they manufacture new weapons and ammunition?
There was no other way; in order to cope with the pressure of future wars, especially potential enemies from outside the galaxy, the new empire was forging an ever-expanding world.

The weapon production lines that forge worlds produce massive amounts of supplies and ammunition day and night, filling warehouses to the point that the logistics department had to apply for the establishment of a warehouse world.

However, such storage and management costs are also very high, especially for the handling of weapons and ammunition nearing their expiration date.

However, the weapons production lines that can be manufactured in the world cannot be stopped. The cost of stopping and restarting them would probably be higher than the cost of continuing to manufacture, and it could also cause damage to important mechanical engines.

Those colossal mechanical forging engines, the size of small continents, are more expensive than many prosperous civilized planets!

In short, the supply of weapons and ammunition is endless, and the logistics department is under great pressure to maintain its inventory, which is a recurring topic.

Since the establishment of the Space Steel Great Wall, the logistics department has been overjoyed and has been using this opportunity to transport supplies here under various pretexts.

This is to alleviate the pressure on their weapons and ammunition stockpiles.

Of course, to everyone's surprise, the logistics department actually did something good despite their "bad intentions".

After their massive transport fleet, laden with supplies, arrived in the solar system, Chaos suddenly launched an attack on Holy Terra and blocked its shipping lanes.

Although the Great Wall of Steel already contains enough weapons, ammunition, and defensive vehicles.

However, the extra supplies delivered by the logistics department undoubtedly increased the Empire's chances of victory.

Even the Savior's Office, Lord Tako, known as the Eye of the Emperor, praised the logistics department's contributions, saying they were prescient.

He will then personally report the outstanding achievements of the logistics department to His Majesty the Savior.

Such praise delighted the senior management of the logistics department in charge of the matter.

The high-ranking official is still figuring out how to transmit the message, preparing to notify the logistics department to organize a new fleet and transport more war supplies.

Who knows how long this war will last? The more supplies the better!

The logistics staff are always so simple and generous, just like the savior's expectations for the logistics department.

They were so afraid that the relevant departments and the Ministry of Military Affairs would not have enough supplies that they wished they could fill the warehouses of the Ministry of Military Affairs and the soldiers' armor and bellies to the brim.

"In this day and age, even the armor of ordinary people in the empire... is made of radiant gold?"

The corrupt flies were increasingly shocked when they saw the individual combat armor in the warehouse.

It had never seen such Imperial weaponry in previous wars; the gleaming gold outer armor on the breastplates of those vehicles alone was enough to make the Chaos beings wary.

After all, in the past, Radiant Gold was a rare alloy that only the Imperial Guards could use, and it was enough to block most weapon attacks!
"I must report this situation to His Majesty the Dark Emperor Horus..."

The corrupt flies gazed at the Imperial weapons and vehicles inside the defense platform's warehouse, a deep sense of dread flashing in their eyes.

It is likely that the Savior's forces have made new progress compared to before, which will affect the entire war situation.

Perhaps they should look for an opportunity to destroy the Empire's logistics depots, thereby eliminating the related threat?

"Oh no, is there another black stone barrier set up by the savior here?"

The corrupt flies tried to send out a message, but found that the evil message was simply difficult to transmit.

Helpless, he could only flap his little wings and try his best to fly out of the defensive platform, hoping to escape the range covered by the black stone blockade device.

Only in this way can intelligence information be successfully transmitted.

The chaotic entity within the putrefied fly was extremely tense, fearing it would be discovered, and was almost scanned by the chaos detection device several times.

That would be a deadly threat; he would likely be found by the stationed Grey Knights and vanish into thin air.

"Father, I'm finally safe!" Not long after, the Corruption Fly escaped the range of the Black Stone Sealing Device and was very excited.

He immediately relayed the intelligence information to Horus, the Dark Emperor, including what he had seen and heard during his infiltration.

Meanwhile, at the Chaos Temple.

Ok? !

Upon receiving the message, the dark and terrifying demonic figure on the throne instantly flew into a rage, and raging flames erupted around it...
