Until a massive warship appeared in the planet's orbit, followed by the deployment of numerous airdrop pods from the warship.
The moment the drop pods opened, six Space Marines emerged from each one.
Zhou Qing's army has arrived. In order to eliminate these Chaos Space Marines, Zhou Qing has dispatched troops to this planet.
More than 10 Space Marines were airdropped onto the planet to save the Imperial people.
"Your opponent is me! Traitor!"
Chapter 115 The War of the Industrial World of the Drera Empire Ends
In just a few seconds, hundreds of Space Marines clad in silver-white power armor appeared before the Nurgle Chaos Space Marines.
"Lady, come behind us."
"Traitors, your opponents are us."
The Space Marines drew their power swords, some of them furious.
Their anger needs to be washed away with the blood of their enemies.
A blue power field surrounded the power ship, and then hundreds of Space Marines began to advance, with the lady passing through the towering figures of these Space Marines.
When these Space Marines appeared, the Chaos Space Marines of Nurgle had already come to their senses, and one of them fired a shot.
As the Space Marine advanced, someone was hit by a bullet in his armor, but he merely leaned back and continued charging forward.
To allow the woman to pass between them, a Space Marine deactivated his shield.
As the woman walked past them, the Space Marines grabbed their Gauss rifles.
A large number of Gauss rifles opened fire simultaneously, heading towards the Chaos Space Marines, who, with their field shields activated and the Blessing of Nurgle wielding chainswords, charged towards Zhou Qing's Space Marines.
When that moment arrived, the newly arrived reinforcements, the PDFs and the Star Guardians, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The Emperor's angels have come! The angels have come to save them!
The priests of the state church even knelt down with a thud, then raised their holy seals and frantically chanted the emperor's proverbs.
The arrival of angels means that this planet is saved! It is saved!
Hundreds of silver-armored Space Marines fired their Gauss rifles in unison, sending the charging Nurgle warriors staggering backward.
The corrupted power armor disintegrated under the tearing of the antimatter warhead, and pus and blood gushed out of the bullet holes like a fountain.
But Nurgle's blessing allowed the wounds to heal quickly, and the fallen Chaos warrior dragged his mangled body to his feet again, his entrails wrapped around his chainsword as he continued his charge.
"For the Father!" roared a champion of pustule as he charged into the silver-armored ranks, his chainsaw axe attempting to cleave a warrior's shoulder armor.
Unfortunately, the damage his axe inflicted when it struck was so great that it bounced back up, but the damage was insufficient to cleave through the shoulder armor.
The next second, three power swords pierced his chest simultaneously, and the ion field blasted his body into pieces.
Zhou Qing's Space Marines launched a brutal attack in three-person squads:
The assault team, armed with power swords and ion shields, stood in front, the blue light emanating from the shields burning the Nurgle into ash.
The fire support team used Gauss rifles to precisely fire at the corrupted prophet; each beam and bullet tore unhealable void rifts into the demon's body.
The demolition team hurled molten bombs at the joints of the Plague Colossi, the intense heat melting the tendons of these colossal creatures.
Moreover, even the Chaos faction has giant combat units, so how could the Space Marines not have them?
After 100,000 Space Marines were airdropped, the Titan legions that arrived with the fleet were also airdropped once more. More than 400 Warmaster-class Titans were airdropped onto the planet.
Titan machines began to walk on the ground, and the massive Titan-class units completely shattered the Chaos Space Marines' lines.
These Chaos Space Marines could be wiped out even when facing the Poison Blade, let alone the massive Warmaster-level Titans and other colossal units that the Space Marines could not possibly contend with.
Only the Titans can defeat the Titans.
This is true at least for Emperor-class and War General-class soldiers.
While a few knight families possess knight armor capable of targeting Titan-class combat units, they are few and far between, and Chaos Space Marines cannot possess such armor.
The Hellbeast charged, but it was useless against the Warmaster-level Titan.
The Hellbeast unleashed a furious barrage of firepower, only to be lifted high by Titan and thrown into the sky, its body completely vaporized by an ion beam.
Chapter Master Galros swung his rotting scepter, denting the helmet of a silver-armored Space Marine. But as he raised the scepter to summon the plague, a power spear crackling with lightning suddenly pierced his hand.
“Your evil god cannot save you.” A soldier from the psionic legion appeared behind Garros and cleaved him in two with his weapon.
A powerful surge of psychic energy purified the blessing from Nurgle, making it impossible for Nurgle to restore it.
Although Zhou Qing's army was the army of the Federation of Humans, the people in these troops were all natives of Warhammer, and they all understood the war between Chaos and humanity.
At the same time, the PDFs are also quite clear that they are no different from the Space Marines.
Having been instilled with loyalty, their anger upon seeing the Chaos Space Marines was naturally heartfelt.
If we have the ability, these traitors must be eliminated.
The powerful psionic lightning struck again, instantly vaporizing Garros's body and completely destroying its essence.
With the Chaos Space Marines destroyed, the remaining demon was already at its last gasp. How could ordinary minor demons be a match for the Space Marines?
The Space Marines, in groups of three, began to clean up these chaotic imps.
Faced with powerful power swords and a large number of Space Marines, these demons, who had never imagined they would have to face so many Space Marines, experienced the pain of the Webpath War.
Before being dealt with by the Space Marines, these imps remembered what their predecessors had said about the Webpath War, which seemed to be just like what happened in the Webpath War.
The enemy possessed a large number of Space Marines, perhaps even more than they did.
Their demons relentlessly attacked, but were ultimately annihilated without mercy by the enemy, without even the slightest ability to resist. That was the state of the battlefield at that time.
They tried their best to prove themselves in order to avoid being sent to their deaths on the Net Road, but unexpectedly, while trying to prove themselves, they encountered a situation similar to that in the Net Road War.
It has to be said that this is a kind of inexplicable fate.
Just as the Chaos Warband could quickly conquer a planet with the help of Chaos Space Marines.
When Zhou Qing's patrol fleet dispatches 10 Space Marines to this planet, and even has Psionic Legions assisting them in combat, this planet is destined to be quickly liberated.
But the last Nurgle demon fell after the planet's native PDF attack, and the surviving PDF soldiers knelt on the ground.
They stared blankly as the silver-armored warriors used flamethrowers to incinerate the demon's remains.
The woman holding the baby was taken by the medic, and the chaotic green light in the child's eyes gradually faded under the chaotic energy purifier.
Chapter 116 The Trail of Lion King Ryan
Undoubtedly, Zhou Qing's cyber war on Terra delayed the Chaos Demons' advance.
However, the Chaos Demons' army consists of more than just demons; they also possess a large number of rogue Space Marines.
These traitors were indeed a powerful force, serving as the vanguard before the Chaos Demons were able to launch attacks on the various territories of the human empire.
It was under the influence of these traitors that Zhou Qing, who had returned to his colony, realized that these chaotic traitors should also be eliminated.
Although this Empire world was not destroyed by the Chaos Space Marines because Zhou Qing sent troops to support them in time, the loss of human citizens on it was still unacceptable to Zhou Qing.
When the battle ended, the governor of this imperial world was brought before Zhou Qing by the patrol fleet.
The fact that Zhou Qing has become the War Marshal of the Sun Lord of the Human Empire has been announced to the entire galaxy by the Star Language Court. This is an order from the Emperor, so the Governor of the Empire naturally knows who Zhou Qing is.
Upon seeing Zhou Qing, he first performed the Heavenly Eagle salute, and then knelt down.
"Greetings, Lord Sunlord. Thank you for sending troops to support the world of Kael'thas. I am deeply grateful to you."
The War Marshal of the Sun Lord Empire represents the will of the God Emperor. In particular, Zhou Qing was personally appointed by the Emperor as the War Marshal of the Sun Lord Empire, which is no less significant and representative than the Emperor himself.
Therefore, let alone a planetary governor kneeling on the ground to speak with Zhou Qing, even a star field governor from the Misty Star Field would have to show Zhou Qing sufficient respect.
"No need for formalities," Zhou Qing said. He didn't like having any human compatriots kneeling in front of him, even if these human compatriots looked rather abstract.
"Since you are human, I will naturally help you. Be proud of your human identity."
"To prevent your planet from being attacked by Chaos again, I will send two chapters of Space Marines to garrison it. This will effectively help you defend your planet and protect the human citizens on it."
"Besides that, I have already figured out what's going on on your planet. From now on, you can hand over the tithe directly to me. You don't need to pay taxes to the Ministry of the Interior, and the Ministry of the Interior will no longer levy taxes on you. As a reward for your tax payment, I will give you some food."
"My only request is to properly settle the human citizens on your planet, to prevent them from living the same lives as before, and to ensure they have enough to eat."
Zhou Qing succinctly outlined his arrangements for the planet's governor.
To be honest, he was a rational person, and it was precisely because he was a rational person that he did not impose the requirements of the Human Federation on the planetary governor in front of him.
Zhou Qing chose to lower his expectations and try to fit the current reality as much as possible.
Therefore, his request was simple: that all his fellow human beings be able to eat their fill and not live the same lives as before.
As for other things, we'll arrange them later.
In any case, according to the standards of the human empire, that planet only needs to be allocated 40 units of food per month, which is more than enough.
"Yes, sir!" The planetary governor chose to obey Zhou Qing's arrangements and orders.
The difference in their status and position was too great. Faced with the order personally given to him by Zhou Qing, he had no room for rebuttal or the right to resist.
However, after the two rounds of dialogue, the planetary governor did not leave immediately, but remained kneeling in place. He seemed to want to say something but was unsure whether he should.
"Is there something you want to tell me? Don't be so coy, just say it. My time is precious."
Zhou Qing immediately noticed that the planetary governor below seemed to have something to say, so he gestured for him to speak directly.
Efficiency is the most important thing. How can such hesitation and indecisiveness be efficient? It's just a waste of time.
Under Zhou Qing's urging and prompting, the planetary governor's mind raced for a moment before he finally decided to speak the news directly.
“There was once a being on my planet who was suspected to be the Primarch of the Empire. He should be Lion King Ryan, but I am not sure if he is.”
"He was discovered by an ordinary PDF soldier. After the Primarch was discovered, I sent people to invite him, but when our army arrived, he was nowhere to be found, as if he had never existed."
The planetary governor said this with a slightly puzzled expression; he wasn't quite sure why.
“I understand the news. You’re doing well. The Empire needs more Primarchs to work for us. Hopefully, this one’s physical abilities are similar to Guilliman’s.”
I will order the troops to search for this so-called Primarch, and if possible, I will personally capture him and send him back to Terra.
Zhou Qing was quite satisfied with the news, since the appearance of more than one Primarch meant that someone could share Guilliman's workload.
To be honest, he had already learned about the abstract administrative efficiency of the Human Empire through the people he sent out, and he was a little worried that the 13th Primarch might die from exhaustion over paperwork.
