Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!.

Chapter 442 06.0441: "Those who invade our borders will be punished no matter how far away they are."

The destination of the Imperial transport fleet is a planet called 'Basol'.

This was once part of the Five Hundred Worlds of Ultramar.

Driven by the Southward Advance Theory, the Tau Empire's expansionist front reached the five hundred worlds with rich resources and listed them as important expansion targets.

Gradually, thanks to the insensitive Imperial bureaucracy, many worlds succumbed to the Tau Empire's silver bullet offensive and gunboat diplomacy.

Bashor was one of them, and it was once a primitive civilized world among the Five Hundred Worlds before it was handed over to the Tau by an incompetent planetary governor.

Under the temptation of sugar-coated bullets and small favors, the humans above were tired of the distant "empire" that would only come from time to time to harvest their resources and take away their children, and they happily devoted themselves to a more visible and tangible future.

Now, this planet has become part of the Greater Good realm, where humans and aliens live together. In the affluent life brought by a large number of automated equipment, most residents have forgotten their past history.

This was once one of the Divine Emperor's vast universes, part of the Holy Realm of the Empire.

And now, the descendants of Robert Guilliman are no longer willing to endure the paradise created by the great Primarch himself, the legendary Second Emperor... Bang! (This record has been deleted and cleared, no access!)
Being invaded by aliens, the Sons of Ultramar, who are known for their good administration, will work with the Imperial warriors to recover the lost territory and defeat the aliens' dirty and evil plots and their ever-expanding ambitions! -
"We are almost there. We can see Basor from the bridge."

"This is really good news. Arriving at our destination means we are already at the forefront of the battlefield. Considering the complex and intertwined main battle zone, it is not impossible that we are behind enemy lines."

"According to military intelligence, fleet battles are taking place everywhere around here. Almost all of the main fleets of the Tau Empire are exchanging fire with the Imperial Fleet. The void is so vast that they can't take care of this place."

"Don't let your guard down. Even if you don't encounter a large fleet, you still have to be wary of small commerce raiding teams waiting for an opportunity. So, what are the Astra Militarum and Astartes going to do?"

"Imperial spies have successfully replaced the security forces at the shuttle ramp.

The 'Guvisas' who are on guard duty at the airport are all our people. What we need to do now is to get close enough to the planet, then land at the airport and immediately attack the city after landing.

When we take control of the planet and force the main garrison there to give up resistance, the colony ships in the fleet will release the imperial colonists and let the planet return to the embrace of the empire. "

"That sounds good, I hope everything goes as you envisioned."

Unlike Farr, Horatio, representing the Imperial Navy at this time, could not interfere in the affairs of the Astra Militarum, nor did he intend to use his precious crew for orbital drops.

The navy has its own mission, and time is precious. Once he safely delivers the fleet to the planet's orbit, his mission is accomplished.

He didn't want to waste the ship's materials and supplies just for the battle for a planet.

"We are almost reaching the planet's orbit. Pass my order. The entire ship is on level one combat alert. Be vigilant to any situation that may occur around us!" Horatio looked serious, staring at any movement that might occur on the planet's horizon.

"Level 1 combat alert! Level 1 combat alert! All personnel, take your combat positions! All personnel, take your combat positions!"
-
As the vanguard, the attack ship squadron activated the shadow field and sneaked into the planet's orbit first.

The Fury bomber with folded wings was pushed from the elevator to the rear spine of the ship, slowly unfolded its entire body, and finally with the dazzling flash of the electromagnetic catapult, it shot into the void and began its routine reconnaissance.

"Your mission is to fly around the world and ensure the enemy situation on the back of the planet. We are temporarily unable to detect it there. Once you find any enemy fleet support, immediately report to the mother ship using the wing signal lights."

"Leave it to us! Little Captain! Hehe." Since when, Veronica also imitated Fasha and called Horatio the unrighteous name "Little Captain".

[Tsk, I'll tighten the ship rules for you guys sooner or later.]
Horatio snorted in his heart, but remained calm on the surface, continuing to look at the passive detection display in front of him.

Aside from those empty merchant ships with only essential personnel aboard, the strike squadron had yet to find any sign of the Tau fleet.

Since the orbit controlled by the Tau Empire is often frequented by small cargo ships due to frequent trade, the Tau usually do not consider planning orbital defense here, but instead hand over all defense tasks to the orbital defense platform. However, the Empire's spies have disguised themselves and taken control of the defense platform with a secret team. Therefore, when they saw an Imperial transport fleet coming, the soldiers wearing Tau armor pressed the green pass button instead.

“Everything is going according to plan.”

Horatio watched as the Space Marine strike cruisers passed the Epic with the Gladius escorts.

At this time, sirens sounded on the transport ship, and officers and soldiers from the Star Realm Army and other five hundred world planets poured into the corresponding landing capsules according to their organization.

At the agreed time, the strike cruisers and transport ships together spread out a vast number of troop landing craft.

"Foster, look, there's a meteor shower in the sky!"

A socially raised Tau child stretched out four blue fingers, pointed ignorantly at the fireballs created by the overwhelming Imperial landing craft in the sky, and shouted excitedly to its caregiver.

The various aliens and unsuspecting humans on the ground were all stunned and watched in horror as the overwhelming offensive of the Human Empire gradually approached.

“It’s over… It’s over… That’s the punishment from the God-Emperor!! We are finished! All of us will pay the price for our betrayal… Haha! Hahahahahaha!”

Some human elders who were nearly 70 years old were almost collapsed after being stunned, shouting words that most young humans could not understand. They had been ruled by the Tau Empire since birth, and their understanding and cognition of the empire was very vague.

The raging fire from the engines of tens of thousands of landing craft fanned a red glow in the sky. Behind the red glow, dozens of giant warships in orbit looked down proudly at this land that had deviated from the divine will and cast their contempt.

"When they handed over his sacred universe to the aliens, they should have known that this day would come."

Thei stood in front of the French window of the command bridge, looking at the thousands of flames that suddenly broke out on the ground, and said indifferently:
“Macragge treated them well, but they betrayed the Empire without shame or gratitude while enjoying the special tax exemption treatment of the Five Hundred World Class that other Imperial worlds would never get.

Driven by greed, they handed over the precious Divine Emperor territory planet to these aliens without any resistance.

What do you think of this behavior, Captain?"

The female judge smiled coldly and looked at the man beside her.

"'You can't always love your country when you win, and you can't betray your country when you lose.'" The black-haired young man had a stern face. He looked at the flames of war that had burst out on the originally harmonious and beautiful planet, and tapped his arm lightly with his index finger regularly.

It should be a sad thing that an originally beautiful and peaceful world was engulfed by war.

But after learning about "Bathor's betrayal", he not only did not feel the slightest sympathy in his heart, but instead wanted to fire a few rounds of macro-cannons at the planet on behalf of the Imperial Navy to cheer for the landing of the Astra Militarum and the Ultramarines.

"We are His Holy Navy. It is our sole duty to defend His sacred universe. It is our eternal mission to protect the sovereignty and integrity of the Empire's territory.

Since they have chosen to betray, they and their descendants will have to bear the price of betrayal."

He looked at his accountant, a quiet girl with black hair and brown eyes.

"I remember there is an old saying in Aurora that fits the current situation very well."

"Whoever invades our borders will be punished no matter how far away they are."

"Those who violate our borders." Horatio repeated word for word to the female judge, whose smile was getting brighter and brighter:
"Even if they are far away, they will be punished."
