Forty thousand years later, he became a god in the warp

Chapter 428: Not Afraid of Sacrifice but Backstab

When the light blue light became stable, three holographic images appeared in the communication room. They were either standing or sitting, and all had sad looks on their faces.

"The situation is very serious. The starry sky images sent by the fleet's choir linkage are very clear. Now the orcs in the entire Reza sub-sector are rushing to the hive world of the Reza star system.

Damn it, there is no need to intercept them. The orcs never thought of bypassing our defense points. They kept harassing us, fighting a small battle every three days and a big battle every seven days. How many ships have been destroyed... How is the situation on your ground?"

The senior admiral, the commander in charge of an entire sub-sector's naval forces, rubbed his face and looked at the Astra Militarum general of the same rank in the holographic projection who also had a tired face, and said with some concern.

The highest military commander in charge of the entire sub-sector Astra Militarum took a deep breath and then sighed:

"What else could it be? The five hive cities on the equator have suffered the most massive attack. So many people have died that our hearts are numb. It's already great that we haven't lost the defense.

Even with the help of the combat command group, such a large battlefield is almost making my brain burn out. You see."

The Astra Militarum general took off his hat and pointed to a piece of metal protrusion on his head. "The Order just installed a memory device a few days ago. Without it, I can't even remember what I had for my last meal."

"At our level, how could it be possible that they are still original?... How many have you counted by the Military Affairs Department now?"

The admiral touched his mechanical arm, then asked an official from the Military Affairs Department who was wearing a gorgeous uniform, sitting on solid wood furniture, and writing continuously with his hands.

The other party had four mechanical arms, two of which were responsible for writing, one for dragging the scroll, and one of them scratched his bald head and answered without even looking up:

"Excluding the ships that have been scrapped or repaired in the past six months, the ships that are still in operation in the entire Ryza sub-sector, whether they are official combat units or not, are 63 battleships of various levels, 565 cruisers of various types, and more than 3000 frigates (destroyers), not counting the ones that are hidden in Ryza.

Although it sounds like a huge number, when you realize that there are thousands of ships, connected end to end, and even the equator of the planet cannot be connected together, you can imagine how small they will be when they are scattered in such a vast space war zone.

The mechanical arm pulled the paper cutter, and the scroll fell to the ground with a swish sound. The robot servant stepped forward and rolled it up, and then a new scroll began to record.

"And now, if we only count the Astra Militarum and the Planetary Defense Forces stationed there... the population of the Hive World should be around 18 billion, and it has been reduced by more than 4 million in the past six months.

However, there are still about 30 billion dynamic reserve personnel in the hive city, which is sufficient after subsequent training. What's more, the orcs on other planets seem to be gathering on this planet.

Although this foreshadows a bigger battle, at least the war zone will be tightened, and the residents of other worlds will be much safer..." The military affairs official stopped writing, adjusted his modified mechanical compound eyes and spoke slowly.

The silence seemed to reveal something on everyone's mind. The three of them were waiting for the other party to speak, but the result was just an unspeakable silence.

"Ah..." Finally, an officer from the Military Affairs Department sighed and said, "You have all received the news from that guy... To be honest, some of the data was even provided to us by him. The thousands of record officers in the Military Affairs Department cannot match the data computing capacity of one person... Damn."

The general scratched his storage device and also sighed, "If that guy hadn't told me the location of the orcs' raid, I'm afraid two hive cities would have been breached. He saved the lives of hundreds of millions of people."

"Same...he marked out all the intelligence that the Order failed to provide. If he hadn't reminded us in time, I'm afraid the fleet would have been successfully ambushed by the orcs." The admiral said fearfully.

At their level, the battlefields they command are so vast that they involve the lives of tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of people. If they are not careful, it will mean a collapse of numbers... and death.

"So who is he and why did Riza offer a bounty on him? If Rebos appears in our position, we must report it immediately."

"I asked the Inquisitor about this through my connections, and he said that some blasphemous acts were committed on Catachan, and that the orcs' attack on the sub-sector was also induced by the other side."

"What I asked was pretty much the same. Anyway, nothing good came out of it... But is this guy really a problem... Riza... Is he hiding something?"

"Of course they are hiding something."

Suddenly, another voice was added to the communication channel that the three people had prepared in advance. Everyone hurriedly looked towards the source of the voice, and saw that after the holographic image was established, the person they had been discussing and who was the protagonist of today's communication joined them.

The other party looked like a stealthy ranger, with a hood, mask, and nondescript cloak. It was obvious that he was hiding, or perhaps doing something big.

"How did you find our channel... No... It's normal that you could find it. But Riza and other forces will join the channel soon, and you will be discovered by them." The general said quickly.

The Admiral looked at the General, his concern evident in his words, if Ryza knew that he was harboring a wanted criminal, it would probably lead to some unhappy scenes, not to mention that the secret council of the Inquisition had already arrived in Ryza.

"What do you want to say? If you are just accusing Riza of inaction, we all understand this very well without you saying it. Apart from the sufficient supply of servitors, the supply of any other weapons and equipment is very slow, and even requires military expenditures to purchase..." the official said seriously.

"The reason why Riza can provide hundreds of millions of battlefield servitors is that they are all transformed from interstellar refugees and transported by hundreds of Rogue Trader ships.

On the third world, you will be transformed into servo skulls, combat servants, the central control wetware of the missiles you fired, and the internal machine souls. Riza is not doing nothing, they are just secretly forcing you to be united."

Every soldier knows what the above-mentioned things are, but they do not have a deep understanding of them. They just feel that this is not what they need to think about. As long as it is provided in time, they do not care how the missiles are made.

Servo skulls...even though they looked scary, they had already gotten used to having these things floating around them. Right now, there were several of them floating quietly around these three people.

The Astra Militarum general took a deep breath. Although he understood the implication in Rebos's words, he did not intend to break away from Reza.

"Brother, I thank you for your help. I thank you on behalf of the soldiers who survived the battlefield. But fighting is not as simple as you and I imagined. After all, some things are not as simple as black and white."

Rebos nodded, looked at the general who had a slightly different sense of justice, then opened his right hand and a new image appeared in the hall.

"What is this?" The official looked at the thousands of drawings of various sizes. There was so much data on them that he realized that this thing might be quite confidential.

"The General Cannon, Riza's most powerful weapon against orcs."

“I’ve never seen it, nor heard of it, but it looks pretty powerful.”

"It's larger in caliber than my battleship's main gun! Isn't that great?"

"Finally I found something good. Let's quickly give the orcs a good shot."

The three of them were extremely happy. Although they didn't know much about this killing weapon, they could tell by just looking at it that it was incredibly powerful. Even an Orc Knight... no, an Orc Titan wouldn't be able to take a single shot.

"Riza's idea is to deal with the garbage city. There are still several months before the completion of the general cannon. When it is deployed on the battlefield, the orcs can fire and destroy the garbage city before they can react.

In order to solve the problem once and for all, the orcs' activities need to be compressed into the urban area as much as possible. For this reason, Ryza will definitely go against his usual practice and provide a large number of weapons and equipment in the later stage. Before you think that the other party is finally not a stingy person.

Try to advance the front, uphold justice in your heart, protect the empire's territory, and shoot the evil aliens! When the general cannon is activated, you will be reduced to ashes along with the orcs. For victory, is this a tomorrow you can accept?

Use your blood to exchange for the so-called future of the empire, and the soldiers died from the cold guns in the back for unknown reasons. "

"You're talking bullshit!" The Astra Militarum general slammed the table, stood up, and pointed at the image of Rebos and cursed.

But after cursing, he couldn't say anything else to refute the other party. He gritted his teeth, frowned, and was angry, and no one knew what he was thinking.

The other two also had different expressions. Although what Rebos said was not in detail, generals at their level were all shrewd people. What he said was that the Order was using them as filler and could abandon them at any time.

"Speak clearly, I think you are a real traitor! You..."

Before the Astra Militarum general finished speaking, Rebos's image disappeared instantly, but several other figures appeared in the communication video room. The symbols on their bodies were very clear: Mechanical Sage and Grand Inquisitor.

The general's questioning voice echoed in the communication room, a puzzled look lingered on the face of the Inquisitor, the strange atmosphere made the three of them hesitate, and the sound of the gyroscope running when the Mechanical Sage turned his head made them feel extremely nervous.

“Just now…”

"There are tens of thousands of Orc spaceships landing on the planet every day, and the number of Orcs is increasing by more than 10 million every day. How the hell is the Navy going to stop them?"

"I'll stop you! You bastard, why didn't you tell me that the Ryza ships were unreliable? You're just throwing yin and yang at me! Do you understand space combat? Do you know how long it takes to deploy an operation? You don't cover half the distance in a year that I can cover in one jump."

The Astra Militarum general interrupted the Inquisitor's questions and yelled at the Admiral, who also reacted quickly. It was not known whether it was because of his true feelings, but one could even clearly see his saliva in the video.

The sage of the Adeptus Mechanicus tried to persuade him, but no one paid attention to his binary language. The Inquisitor wanted to speak again, but was interrupted by the General again.

"And the military department, fuck your mother, why are you standing there and pretending to be dumb? Where are the supplies? I'm asking you about the supplies! Do you want my men to live on mushrooms?"

"We are dispatching. With such a large number of personnel and such a vast war zone, it will take time to transport supplies."

Several inquisitors wanted to interrupt, but they all succumbed to the mutual accusations among the three men. Looking at each other, they could not help but sigh that this slowly decaying empire could only survive until now thanks to their secret maintenance.

"Stop your useless quarrels and focus on how to deploy your troops."

The Grand Inquisitor had had enough of the annoying noise and spoke up to stop it. The three of them took advantage of the situation and kept silent. Of course, the other party's identity was clear: the organizer of the secret council of the Inquisition of the Anti-Xenophobic Order in the Riza sub-sector - the Grand Inquisitor.

Seeing that the communication room had quieted down, the Grand Inquisitor signaled that the joint meeting had officially begun. Then the Mechanical Sage bent forward and said respectfully to everyone:

"Hello, everyone. Because the Forge General is preparing powerful equipment to deal with the orc army, he has sent me, the Second Sage, to act on his behalf."

When they heard the word "powerful weapon", the three of them silently expressed their own surprise, pinching their hands, rubbing their ears, and adjusting their artificial eyes. Although they did not look at each other, they understood what the other was thinking in their hearts - it seemed that Rebos was not lying.

"Your quarrel will only increase your meaningless blood pressure by 67-115 mmHg, which will reduce your cognitive and thinking abilities by 18-33%. This is 100% unacceptable for the subsequent command and operations." Sage No. spoke slowly, not caring at all about the displeasure on the three people's faces.

"Hmph...you're right, but you can't even grasp the movements of the orcs on the battlefield." The general resented Riza's inaction, but could only speak sarcastically.

"1111..1111..1111."

Even the Chief Inquisitor found the laughter of Sage No. 2 a little awkward, and the other three also felt uncomfortable after hearing it.

"Under the protection of Om Messiah, Riza was of course able to calculate the actions of the orcs in a timely manner. However, that was based on the orcs' underlying logic. The recent 64 attacks involving more than orcs were all carried out based on the tactical logic of humans, that is, the imperial army.

The reason why Rebos can warn you of the impending danger is because he has reached a consensus with the orcs. Otherwise, how could he know the orcs' movements so accurately, unless he is the one creating the chaos.

Yes, we did monitor your communication system, but we did it to catch the heretic Rebos. After all, the explosions of the 14 hive cities are still fresh in our memory."

The bombshell exploded in everyone's heart. This time, the three men couldn't help but look at each other, trying to find something from him that could reassure them, but obviously they couldn't.

"Compared to the other side, Reza's servitors all seem to be compassionate to the world. He just took advantage of your upright emotions. Be careful not to be deceived by him. Did he ask you to cooperate with him?"

"0000..0000..0000, this guy stole Reza's important confidential data and leaked it to the aliens, destroying the hive city to divert attention. This is a crime that even the lord of the empire cannot forgive. All you need to do is provide the geographical coordinates of the other party's appearance, and the Grand Inquisitor's team will be the first knife to hunt down the other party."

"Well, that's good. Traitors should be killed without a burial place. We are soldiers to serve the empire, so Your Excellency the Sage, you can take care of this guy. We are more concerned about weapons and equipment and the division of war zones."

The general's question made the other two listen attentively. Although they remained calm on the surface, their accelerated breathing, itchy noses, and sweaty foreheads proved that the answer from Sage No. 2 would once again confirm the truth or falsity of certain things.

With a "bang", the palms of Sage No. 2 overlapped together, and the pleasant electronic bionic sound rose again. Unlike the indifference of the past, this time everyone felt a sense of closeness that made them uncomfortable.

"...Ryza has awakened the engines of battle, built a stable code, and crafted powerful weapons. Millions of tons of weaponry have reached low orbit around the hive worlds.

The moment the horn of counterattack sounded, the airdrop arrived immediately, and we will encircle and destroy the orc garbage city together!"

The second sage's words made his blood boil, but the three of them shook their heads in silence, only feeling their hands and feet cold...
