The sound of ancient horns echoed across the sky.
On the bloody soil burning with flames, the army of Khorne demons gathered and spread to the endless distance.
The mere footsteps of the army's march were enough to cause the earth to shake violently.
This would be the Blood God's largest invasion of the galaxy in ten thousand years, with eight times as many Khorne daemons dispatched.
And their common commander is the supreme bloodthirsty devil - Kabanha!
He bore the expectations of all the demons of Khorne, hoping that this beloved could cut off the head of the Primarch of Hope and the Savior.
That would be the most remarkable achievement the Chaos Daemons could achieve since the Heresy, and no other being could match it!
The hideous brass chariot was ablaze with bloody flames. It was once the Blood God's vehicle. This terrifying demonic engine alone was enough to rival the strength of a powerful demon.
When the Supreme Bloodthirsty Demon saw it in the Brass Treasure House, he took it without hesitation, because only he was worthy of this gift from the Blood God.
The Blood God condoned the beloved's presumptuous behavior and praised his courage.
He needs such a brave and unstoppable warrior to fight for him and conquer the galaxy.
Not only that, the Supreme Bloodthirster also demanded more powerful armor and a battle axe, and promised to achieve rich results.
Of course, all this comes at a price.
This battle brings together the heavy expectations of the Blood God and the entire realm of Khorne.
If he fails, this beloved of the Blood God will face the most severe punishment, with no room for negotiation!
Kabanha stood on the brass chariot, overlooking the huge demon army below. This was his peak moment, commanding most of the elite demons of Khorne.
In fact, he didn't really want to go to war, thinking it was not the right time.
But the Blood God urged again and again, until the eighth time, this beloved knew that he could not wait any longer.
He agreed to the order to go to war and took the opportunity to ask for more benefits.
Now, this supreme bloodthirsty demon has obtained a more powerful mount, armor and battle axe, and his confidence has grown.
"Perhaps, I can't wait any longer. It's time to fight my destined enemy—the Primarch of Hope, the Savior!"
Kabanha thought so.
I am no longer the same person I was before. I have enough confidence and strength to defeat my old enemy and end the nightmare in my heart.
By then, he will become even more powerful and unstoppable!
What's more, even if I lose, I still have the confidence to evacuate. This is worth a try...
roar--
Kabanha roared, and demonic flames powerful enough to burn a soul gushed out of his mouth.
He issued a war order: "In the name of the Supreme Bloodthirsty Demon, march out!"
The bronze bull pulled the ferocious brass chariot forward, stirring up volcanic ash and lava, all the way to the huge brass gate in the distance.
Afterwards, the demon army also set off, and the earth roared and shook.
They will arrive in the Savior's territory and start an unprecedented war there.
And before the Plague Lord takes Ultramar, he will seize the equally vast territory of the Savior's territory...
——
Goli sector, Mattila.
A huge red banner hung at the entrance of the airport, visible to all ships:
In the name of the Savior, we must resolutely build a solid line of defense against the plague;
Actively cooperate with disinfection and purification to cut off the chain of transmission of the plague virus;
Banners with slogans such as maintaining public health, purifying and beautifying the environment, etc.
Several years ago, the Savior Territory launched a nationwide hygiene campaign, requiring citizens to wash their hands frequently, disinfect more often, and clean up any areas that might harbor dirt.
This move achieved great results.
Even when the planets in the territory were attacked by plague, there were not as many casualties as on planets elsewhere. Instead, a stable order was maintained.
Treat and eliminate the plague in an orderly manner.
Squeak~
A robotic arm extended and sprayed a disinfectant solution.
After being disinfected and purified on the orbital ring, the luxurious dark gold shuttle flew towards the surface.
Isolation area.
In the group of white temporary tents, the staff responsible for purification were doing their thirteenth cleaning of the day. When they saw the shuttle in the sky, they all temporarily stopped their work and saluted.
Because the unique logo and color scheme on that shuttle represent the great savior.
"Brown, how are things here?"
After Ron got off the shuttle, he lowered his head slightly to look at the senior officials who greeted him.
The high-ranking official named Brown had made great contributions in the war to recapture Mattila, and later gradually rose to the position of planetary commander.
Today, the chief officer has slightly gray hair and is quite majestic.
But every time he saw him, he would think of the ragged little Brown who followed Saint Fran.
Perhaps it was this vague memory that made me choose the other person in that crucial promotion.
Make him the chief officer of the planet.
That is considered the ruler of a region, roughly equivalent to the planetary governor of the empire, but there are many restrictions on power and it is more controlled by the Royal Court.
But correspondingly, the pressure is much less, and there is no need to worry about the tithe.
"Lord Savior."
Brown saluted respectfully, neither humble nor arrogant: "We established an isolation zone in a timely manner, effectively curbing casualties and reducing the probability of death to 0.4%.
Not only that, our planet still maintains 65% of its productivity before the plague.
Productivity figures will continue to rise until they fully recover in about two months."
"Yes, your work is commendable."
Ron nodded with satisfaction. The ability of this planet commander was ranked among the top among the many commanders in the territory, and he was not from the system of Zhongsi Academy.
At most, I went for further studies and was considered a practical person among the early heroes who joined.
Afterwards, he inspected the situation in the epidemic prevention area.
Due to the supernatural influence of the Lord of Plagues, the conditions of the patients vary.
When plague-infected people are discovered on the planet, they will be immediately isolated and divided according to their types. Those with mild symptoms can be sent directly to the sacred tower to bask in the sun and be cured.
For those with more severe symptoms, intervention treatment is required.
Because the plague in these patients has penetrated deep into their bodies, they are directly exposed to the strong radiation of the divine light. While killing the plague, it will also cause greater harm to the host.
Even causing it to die along with the plague germs.
Therefore, these patients will be divided again into known pathogens and unknown pathogens, and then divided into different groups such as physical, mental, and spiritual aspects.
After that, more detailed divisions and numbering will be carried out, and several rounds of screening will be carried out step by step.
To find out the dangerous targets.
With such amazing efficiency, thousands of patients will be divided into the smallest units and gradually treated and purified.
And there is also a pastor who blesses it.
Once his condition improves and becomes mild, he can be sent to the Holy Tower to bask in the sun.
As for those who are seriously ill and difficult to treat, have a high risk of mutation, and are judged to be incurable and about to die, they will receive hospice care.
Let them sleep without pain and their souls return to the throne.
The bodies are then sent to the cremation area, where they are turned into ashes under the prayers and blessings of the priests and the sprinkling of holy water, and are thoroughly purified.
Every process here is very rigorous, and the responsible quarantine officials, cadres of the Medical Sisters, and officers of the purification force will inspect and accept all the work in turn.
Only when they approve the work and make comments on the documents can a certain work process be completed.
This is true even for the simplest floor cleaning and purification.
Ron looked at the medical sisters, medical staff and priests who were coming and going and were covered in full-face gear. These people did not show the tension they showed in the face of the plague, but instead had gentle smiles on their faces.
They are smiling angels.
The medical system of the Savior Territory is well aware that fear will only accelerate the invasion and spread of the plague.
Therefore, medical staff will try their best to smile and remain emotionally stable, comfort patients and give them warmth.
"God bless you, the pain will go away if you eat this candy."
With his keen perception, Ron saw the situation in an isolation tent in the distance.
In that fully enclosed area, a female medical worker was squatting in front of a child and handing him a candy.
"Thank you...thank you, nurse."
The little boy held the candy in his mouth, and his painful expression became a little relieved.
But he could see that the child was beyond saving, at least in this quarantine area.
Current general medicines are unable to cure such a severe plague.
Of course, the latest purification agent developed by the Savior Territory can treat such patients.
But that is an extremely expensive strategic-grade material. It has just been put into production and the production capacity has not yet been increased. It will not be easily used on an ordinary patient.
Only proper use can save more lives.
Life is priceless.
But in such a dark age, the worth of all will be carefully weighed and then thrown into the war against Chaos.
Until every tiny bit of value is squeezed out.
Even though the Savior's territory is humane enough, some sacrifices are still inevitable.
Let's put it in a cold-blooded way.
For these people, being born in the territory of the Savior is almost the same as being born in Rome.
If this were the territory of the empire, they would most likely not receive any medical treatment, but would be thrown alive into a centralized quarantine area and burned to death.
To prevent the spread of the plague.
It is already quite good that the Savior Territory can achieve this.
Soon, the child's tender voice was heard again: "Nurse, I...how long will it take for me to get out? Mom and Dad want to take me to the Holy Land to watch the Feast of the Ascension of the Emperor.
And you must also worship the holy image of our Savior.
My father said that the statue is so huge, and that children who pray to it will become smarter. I have been waiting for a long, long time..."
The child came from a working-class family and had to wait in line for many years before he had the chance to go to the Holy Land.
Perhaps this is their only chance in this lifetime to admire that sacredness.
Unfortunately, all this is destined to be a dream.
The female medical staff hesitated, but she still reached out and touched the child's head through her hazmat suit. There was mucus oozing out of it. "It will be... soon. After you pass this test, you can go out..."
The medical worker felt a little reluctant because, based on her experience, the probability of the child passing the test was not very high.
Perhaps the next time he comes, he will have been completely devoured by the plague.
"Well, let this guy take a look..."
Ron sighed slightly as he listened to the conversation between the two, feeling a little sorry.
He raised his hand and concentrated a large amount of gentle psychic energy to cast it on the child, granting him a temporary blessing.
In an instant, a soft golden light appeared on the child's body, and the gentle and sacred life force gradually drove away the plague.
His condition improved visibly.
"Savior, a miracle has occurred. This is the blessing mentioned in the Bible of salvation!"
The female medical worker knelt down and prayed before such a miraculous scene, and the pastors also came to hold a blessing ceremony and pay homage to this sacred scene.
The entire quarantine area became excited because of this miracle, and the patients also had a stronger desire to survive.
However, the savior who performed miracles did not show up at this moment. Instead, he turned around and took his people away from the area.
Because he has more important things to do.
"The Lord of Plague deserves to die..."
Ron's face was a little solemn. Although he could save a child through blessing out of a bit of kindness, it would be difficult for him to save more people.
Millions of people are about to die from the plague.
All he could do was to deal with the plague in the territory as quickly as possible, eliminate all the demons that dared to spread Nurgle here, and then end it all!
Today, the first batch of purification drugs has been shipped to various planets severely infected by the plague to eliminate the source of the plague.
The planet Mattila is also of paramount importance.
According to known intelligence, the reason why the plague in the Savior's territory is so serious is because the Death Lord and Prince of Decay, Mortarion, has set up a hidden corruption network here.
Continuously transporting the foul air from the Garden of Nurgle.
The corrupt network had only been laid out and had not yet been activated, but it had caused such terrible damage.
Once activated, the Savior's territory may suffer from a more serious plague infection, causing more losses.
This will also completely hinder the territory's army from supporting other areas.
Fortunately, he has found the core node of the corrupt network. It is hidden on the planet Mattila and continues to have an impact.
This is one of the reasons why the plague invasion in Mathila was so severe.
No matter what, he had to destroy the hidden corruption network as soon as possible to prevent the situation from getting worse.
Brown received a message and immediately reported: "According to your instructions, all residents in the area where the core of the corrupted network is located have been evacuated."
Ron nodded and glanced at Carter:
"Then deploy the troops, thoroughly search and clear the area, and find the corrupted machine!"
…
Factory area.
The manufacturing machinery that worked day and night suddenly came to a halt. The entire space was silent, and no human figures were seen.
Whoosh whoosh——
Dozens of landing ships flew in one after another and landed in front of the factory's warehouse square.
Hundreds of Thunder Guards and thousands of Void Angels landed from the air and dispersed in all directions in small groups.
Each of these teams was equipped with a Librarian holding a sorcerous artifact.
The corrupted machines created by the Death Lords are located in the gap between reality and the Warp, making them difficult to detect with ordinary instruments and the human eye.
Even psychic detection and tool divination will be blocked.
Fortunately, the witchcraft creations made by the great wizard can search for traces of filth.
After a relentless search, the Space Marines found the coordinates of the corrupted machine and sent a signal to the Savior.
Not long after, the Savior's shuttle hurried over.
Ron, fully armed and covered in combat-type golden armor, came to a large factory building.
It was a large daily necessities production base.
The entire factory building is like a giant steel beast, about hundreds of meters high and covering a vast area.
Without any hesitation, he led the Thunder Guards and more Void Angels inside.
at the same time.
The Void Angels built several lines of defense on the periphery, installed numerous super-heavy artillery and melta weapons, and assembled dozens of special launchers.
Those white sacred missiles were installed.
Just in case.
The savior spent a huge amount of money and brought the most precious strategic weapons in the territory - dozens of large sacred urn bombs!
Not only that, the weather control machine in the sky also floated above the factory.
The rainfall module of the weather control machine is filled with more than ten cans of concentrated purification agents, which can trigger a heavy rain full of purification agents at any time.
Can give the Nurgle demon a good bath.
It is a specialized weapon against Nurgle demons that is comparable to the Holy Ashes Bomb, or even more effective!
The Savior prepared for the worst.
Even if the big moth or the Death Lord Mortarion comes, he will be in trouble!
…
Inside the factory.
A faint mechanical hum was heard.
"Hiss~ There's no illusion, no trace of the Warp. The Great Flutter Moth's dark forging skills are quite good..."
Ron sighed slightly.
He was approaching the location of the corrupted machine, which was within a hundred meters ahead.
However, even at such a close distance, he and the soldiers still did not see anything blasphemous.
Everything around was so normal, without any signs of corrosion.
If he didn't have the help of detecting witchcraft artifacts, he would probably have to wait for the corruption machine to activate and then pile up more lives to find it.
"By the Savior, I saw the Corruption Machine. What a blasphemy!"
Suddenly, a Void Angel think tank gasped.
The other think tanks around him immediately prepared for battle. The pressure brought by the psychic power suddenly increased, pressing on the back of their heads.
Buzz!!!
Ron also stepped into that area.
It was as if he had crossed the boundary of space and arrived at another place overlapping with the factory building.
In an instant, the breath of chaos overwhelmed them, and the ground beneath their feet turned into a bubbling, fetid swamp, and the surrounding machinery was covered with rotten flesh and blood.
A black cloud of flies circled in the air.
Ron looked up and saw a corrupted machine in mid-air—a three-legged clock made of rotten iron, glass, and evil thoughts.
It is almost as tall as the factory building.
A sphere at the center of the corrupted machine holds a bubbling liquid of incomprehensible purpose, and three madly spinning springs are wound around a single axis.
The axis is not based on the material world, but penetrates into the void.
Even more striking is the clock on top of the machine, which has three hands running in reverse and a pendulum swinging back and forth.
With the sound of ticking, the impact of the plague became more and more profound, and the shadow of Nurgle Garden could be vaguely seen.
"It's quite mysterious. Let's destroy it."
Ron completely couldn't understand how this thing worked. Things made with the Chaos Dark Forging Technique were always so baffling.
But it doesn't matter, just do it yourself, and let the oil guys study it slowly later.
The moment he gave the order, heavy artillery fire, melta guns, blasting grenades and psychic energy bombarded the corrupted machine.
None of this seems to have much effect.
Boo~
Ron carried the launcher and fired a small ashes bomb.
With a bang, a small sun rose slowly, burning the corrupted machine.
Strangely, more corrupt energy poured out from the illusion of Nurgle's Garden, as if forming some kind of protective shield to resist the erosion of divine energy.
"Wow, this thing has a special shield and also contains some kind of time properties!"
Seeing this, Ron immediately used his psychic power to tear the steel roof on top of the factory, exposing the entire corrupted machine to the air.
At this point, it can no longer hide.
The moment he gave the order for concentrated fire, time seemed to be affected.
Ron saw clearly that the illusion of Nurgle Garden became clearer and a huge passage was being built.
Something is coming from over there!
To make matters worse, he received a new and even more deadly piece of news.
His good brother, the Supreme Bloodthirsty Demon, was coming here, leading an elite army that was many times larger than the last time, and was coming with great momentum.
It seems like he's determined to fight with me, and no amount of persuasion will stop him.
"It's really like when it rains it pours. Now we're being attacked from both sides..."
Ron felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.
Facing the armies of Nurgle and Khorne at the same time, the Savior's territory will probably become the main battlefield.
He suddenly withdrew from the corrupt area affected by time and issued orders for full combat to the ground forces and the fleet in orbit.
At the same time, more troops were mobilized to Mathila.
Afterwards, Ron sent an urgent message to the logistics department: "Send that super-large Tsar to me as quickly as possible
