"What kind of loyalty and courage this is! The supreme God Emperor will definitely protect their souls!"

A commander of the Astartes Chapter couldn't help but sigh as he watched the Nurgle army retreating steadily under the charge of the Krieg Death Corps.

Because if the attacks of these mortal armies could only be described as tragic before, now they can be described as heroic.

Although they still hold the "XIV" heavy laser guns and shotguns that are famous for being difficult to maintain, and they also equip bayonets in front when charging, the threat they can pose to the enemy has increased by a dozen or even dozens of orders of magnitude.

.

As long as they rush closer, these soldiers who regard death as their final destination will drop their weapons, directly activate the desperate virus in their bodies, and turn into flaming men emitting terrifying heat and pounce on their opponents.

Due to their nearly unlimited regeneration capabilities, they don't have to worry about injuries at all.

As long as you can maintain a close fight for a short period of time, you can burn the enemy to death.

Of course, if an Astartes encounters an overly powerful demon or falls into the arms of the Chaos God and is killed, then just before death, the body emitting high temperatures can break through the critical point and turn into a self-exploding bomb.

So at this moment, it can be clearly seen that on the front line where the Krieg Death Corps comes into contact with the Nurgle army, there will be violent fires and explosions every second on average.

And that was the last and most brilliant light of life that each Krieg soldier erupted before dying.

Only they can maximize the power of the Extremis virus as a suicide bomb.

Otherwise, if it were an ordinary mortal army, they would have chosen to retreat or completely collapse in the face of huge casualties.

After all, survival is a primitive instinct engraved in biological genes.

Especially when you see your comrades around you fall down and die one after another, the strong visual, auditory and olfactory impact will greatly amplify the negative emotions in your heart.

At this time, you need to rely on steely discipline, willpower and faith that override instinct to fight.

Therefore, no matter in any world, there are always only a very small number of heroes and martyrs who can truly accept death.

Once it appears, its deeds will most likely be written into history or become a widely circulated story or poem.

You must know that even for an empire with endless soldiers, the Krieg Death Corps is unique.

Their loyalty to the Emperor of Mankind and their fighting spirit without fear of death or sacrifice are even far superior to that of most Astartes Space Marines.

Yes, you are not mistaken.

Because even the Astartes may be corrupted by the forces of Chaos, or surrender to the enemy (I'm talking about you, the Astartes Auxiliary of the Tau Empire, the shame of the Space Marines).

But since experiencing that internal rebellion, the Krieg Death Corps has never experienced a similar situation.

Not only that, but what's even more outrageous is that no matter how huge the casualties they suffered, they would never collapse or choose a strategic retreat. Instead, they would execute their original orders meticulously until the last person was dead.

Such outrageous execution made the imperial military love and hate them.

What I hate is that these guys are completely stubborn and don't know how to adapt. Sometimes they can clearly save their strength and wait for support, but they end up completely destroying themselves.

What's even more outrageous is that if any officer dares to stop them from being loyal to the God-Emperor, they might be killed for not being loyal enough, and then they will continue to charge forward and fight to the death with the enemy.

What I love is that these troops from the dead planet really dare to fight and are always the most trustworthy subordinates in war.

The only problem is how to use their fearlessness to death.

Many generals and staff officers were troubled by this.

But now everyone realizes that the desperate virus provided by the empire's allies perfectly solves this problem.

After all, isn't the problem they have a headache with is that the casualties of the Krieg Death Corps are always ridiculously high?

There are even many soldiers in the army who can be called "veterans" after only surviving a few months in the war. More than 80% of them will die within a year.

But as long as they can inflict higher casualties on the enemy before dying, that's fine.

There is no such thing as a war without death.

How could an empire like the Empire, which itself was a militaristic war machine, really care about the lives of ordinary soldiers?

In the eyes of policymakers, a huge population is nothing more than a renewable resource, and no matter how many people die, it is nothing more than a series of cold numbers.

But they must die worthy!

Today's Krieg Death Corps has accomplished this perfectly.

Similarly, the senior officials of the empire, who have the largest population resources in the entire galaxy, also realize that the Extremis virus is an out-and-out artifact, much easier to use than virus bombs, cyclone torpedoes, nuclear warheads, macro cannons, and light spears.

too much.

The most important thing is that this kind of biological weapon is cheap enough to fully utilize the overwhelming advantage of its own population base.

You can even directly create a new unit.

They do not need to be equipped with any weapons, they only need to inject the Extremis virus into their bodies and then rush towards the enemy under the cover of long-range firepower.

You must know that although the Empire is a super-regime spanning the galaxy, its weapons and equipment have always been quite low-end.

Especially after entering the 40th millennium, both the level of science and technology and the production and manufacturing capabilities have experienced a substantial setback.

The supply of weapons and ammunition is also very scarce. Even the Astartes Chapter often lacks supplies, let alone the mortal auxiliary army. The situation can only be described as horrific.

That's why we pay special attention to a good thing like the Extremis Virus, which can turn ordinary people into a deadly weapon instantly after being injected.

In addition to being provided to the army, it can also be distributed to all star regions as strategic reserves.

In this way, even if the area is suddenly invaded by foreign enemies, there is no need to worry too much that they will become food for the Tyranids, or be infected by the power of subspace and become the accomplices of the Chaos Evil God.

Just inject all the people into suicide bombs and die together with the opponent.

Anyway, in the face of such crazy enemies as Tyranids, Orks, and Warp Demons, civilians had little chance to escape.

Rather than being slaughtered unscrupulously like livestock, it is better to die in a more dignified way.

Imagine that hundreds of billions of people in a hive world are instantly transformed into supermen who can release high-temperature flames. How much damage can they cause to the enemy during resistance?

Maybe the opponent will be overwhelmed by violent fires and explosions before the occupation is completed.

It only takes a few dozen times for this to happen before the Tyranid completely lose interest in humans.

Because these calculating guys never do business at a loss.

As long as they realize that the costs and rewards are not proportional, they will choose to give up without hesitation.

By the same token, even the so-called endless subspace demons would feel helpless against this situation.

After all, although their number is too large to count, it is not easy to enter the material universe on a large scale.

"The Empire must master the method of producing this biological weapon! No matter what the cost!"

A male officer standing at the forefront of the newly built fortifications expressed his truest thoughts with a serious face.

Another older woman standing next to him nodded in agreement: "I completely agree.

This weapon is subversive to the improvement of the overall strength of the empire.

It will inspire the overwhelming advantage of the human race in size and numbers, allowing us to transform a huge population into a weapon that will frighten our enemies.

Even unarmed civilians can immediately become a threat to warp daemons and traitors to the Astartes who have taken refuge with the Chaos Gods after just one dose.

The only problem now is how to get that powerful and mysterious ally to transfer the manufacturing technology of this thing to us, and how to ensure that it will not be used by the enemy."

"This is an issue that the regent needs to consider. What we have to do now is to win the plague war and banish all these damn demons and traitors back to the subspace."

When saying this, the male officer's eyes showed naked and undisguised murderous intent.

The charge launched by the Krieg Death Corps opened up a relatively safe area for subsequent landing troops, where millions of troops have been airborne in a short period of time, as well as a large number of fully automated modular building materials used to build fortifications.

Not only have high-strength composite armor outer walls been erected, but void shields and large-caliber fortress guns have also been deployed.

This also means that the empire can continuously transport troops and logistical supplies to the ground.

As long as the fleet can completely cut off the enemy's support from outer space, the planet will soon be cleansed of Nurgle's armies, just like all the enemies that were defeated and eliminated in the previous expedition.

Since the original body returned and signed a contract and alliance with Zuo Si in the name of the God-Emperor, the originally precarious situation of the entire empire can be said to have been quickly reversed.

The latter has not only expanded from one star region to more than a dozen star regions in more than a hundred years, but the population under its rule has also experienced explosive growth, giving it the appearance of a second empire.

You must know that within the administrative system of the empire, the scope of a standard star sector usually has a radius ranging from hundreds of light years to thousands of light years.

The diameter of the entire solar system is only 3.7 light-years, and the distance from the Earth to the nearest star system, Alpha Centauri, is only "merely" less than 4.4 light-years.

This shows how huge a star region is.

With the stellar density of the Milky Way, there are almost thousands or even tens of thousands of star systems within a few hundred light-years.

Perhaps in the eyes of the human empire, the environment of most planets is not suitable for human colonization, but for Zuo Si, who has mastered planetary environment modification technology and shimmering oil, these are obviously not too big a problem.

The most important thing is its terrifying technological level and manufacturing capabilities, which almost provide more than 70% of the logistics supplies for the expedition fleet.

There are thousands of decisive battle heavy battleships alone, and the Titan mecha, known as the "God's Machine", can be replenished immediately as much as it is damaged.

In this situation where there are almost unlimited soldiers and as many weapons and equipment as you need, any commander who is not a weakling can win the victory.

What's more, it's still under the command of the original body himself.

Therefore, although it is now the climax of subspace's invasion of the physical universe in thousands of years, and the well-trained and well-equipped Chaos army once even threatened the safety of Terra, no one doubts that the Empire will win the final victory of this war.

Just when the human army successfully established a stronghold and began to attack Nurgle, on the Macragge's Glory far away in outer space orbit, Robert Guilliman was reading with a serious face the text provided by the mechanical priest accompanying the army.
