Chapter 343: Baal is attacked
Under the indiscriminate bombardment of Blackwatch, the evil cults in the entire Borderland Hive City all suffered a devastating blow.
But like the Blacklight Zerg, no legion is more aware of the harm caused by these highly infectious aliens than Blackwatch.
In order to prevent these aliens from resurfacing, Hogg placed an insect nest at the border, hoping to drive away the pests with his own insects and achieve true foolproofness.
The group of strange Zerg that had proved their loyalty through their actions were also officially accepted into Hogg's Blackwatch and given the noble status of meat pets.
Looking at the meat quarantine codes printed on their chests, these Tyranids screamed with excitement. For them, as long as they joined Blackwatch, it meant that the rest of their lives were guaranteed and they no longer had to hide in fear every day.
But Hogg's curiosity was aroused and he also wanted to know why these insects could awaken their self-awareness. Shouldn't they be controlled by the will of the hive?
To this end, Hogg brought them directly back to his Blacklight, and successfully tricked them into his laboratory at the cost of the kitchen waste generated in the cafeteria.
After testing, it was found that the degree of specialization of the genetic sequence of this group of insects was exactly the same as that of the Behemoth fleet that Hogg had previously destroyed. Only their psychics were infected and corroded by his psionic energy, cutting off the upward mental signals.
After being organized, the leader of the hive lord also recounted his origins. He was a member of Behemoth's tentacles.
It turned out that during the defense of Macragge, this Hive Lord was injured and had to burrow into the ground to sleep in advance, thus avoiding the extermination of the Ultramarines.
When Hogg arrived in Macragge, this lucky insect was still sleeping soundly. It was also contaminated by Hogg who drilled into the hive mind and infected with psionic energy.
As the Behemoth fleet was eventually devoured by Hogg, the awakened lord immediately gained self-awareness. Seeing that there were endless horrible Smurfs all around him, he was scared half to death and had to find a chance to escape from Macragge.
During his escape, the Overlord also gathered several elite Zergs, all of which were high-level ones like the Executioner Warrior Bugs. Then he took these three little brothers and sneaked into the human ship, and following some mysterious induction, came to Alicia.
Hogg naturally reciprocated the favor of this progressive-minded bug by strengthening the security of the Blackwatch ships and cutting off the way for other creatures to sneak into the ships.
But now that the affairs of these clever Tyranids have been figured out, the cunning cult has become another problem. Seeing a corpse with an intact head among the trophies, Hogg directly ate the gene stealer's head in one bite, sucking the brain matter inside to search for memories.
"No, this chicken thief is not a member of the Behemoth fleet, but another tentacle." After discovering the blind spot, Hogg chose to deeply integrate this chicken thief.
As a large number of tentacles spread upwards, the already dead Genestealer began to spasm unconsciously, the synapses in its body were reactivated, and its failed organs began to slowly revive.
Hogg also used his psychic organ to connect to a huge consciousness. Through the magical psychic power, he saw a very familiar starry sky.
"Fuck, that's the Baal Star Region!"
The emotionally fluctuating Hogg was immediately discovered. With its consciousness that was much stronger than Behemoth's, the Hive's tentacles locked onto the hidden rat and crushed the Genestealer possessed by Hogg to death from a vast astronomical distance.
Hogg, who suddenly felt something was wrong, quickly assembled all the Black Watch and brought all the heavy equipment to rush to Barr's aid, while he himself connected to the Kara network to collect target information. As expected, a shadow appeared on the Kara network that originally covered the empire, and that location happened to be the Barr star region below the Eye of Terror.
Because of the faith pollution thousands of years ago, the Blood Angels have always been sparsely populated. Including the sub-groups, there are less than 30,000 people at most. They simply cannot withstand the sudden attack of this group of Tyranids.
Thinking of this, Hogg, who was unwilling to waste time, ordered Black Watch to set off immediately. At the same time, he asked Ross to send a message to other legions, asking them to quickly lead people to fight in Baal. This time it was not a small tentacle like Behemoth, but a real big guy.
Hogg, who had been tricked once ten thousand years ago, became more cautious this time. He asked Ross to notify other legions first and then notify Guilliman's Ultramarines. Anyway, the Ultramarines were always on the road, so it was just right to notify them last.
Since Hogg has just returned, there are only five star gates in the entire empire. Even though new star gate components have been produced, there is simply no time to build them.
In order to save time, even if it required a second transfer, Blackwatch chose the more familiar Webway for support and dived directly into the Webway gate and drove like crazy.
At the same time, the Tyranid fleet named Leviathan has arrived at the edge of the Baal galaxy through their unique method of gravity navigation.
As soon as the Leviathan fleet appeared, it was immediately subjected to fierce artillery fire from the Human Empire. A large number of torpedoes carrying nuclear bombs were launched, and half of the starry sky was filled with expanding raging fireballs and chitinous fragments.
For the Astra Militarum in the planetary fortress, it is only a matter of time before they are swallowed by the endless sea of insects. They can only use their artillery fire to buy time for the rear in order to delay the pace of the Zerg Hive Fleet.
But with the arrival of subsequent Zerg fleets, even if the fortress's firepower is still fierce, the gaps that have just been cleared will immediately be filled by more Zerg, and even the entire starry sky has become a world composed of Zerg.
Such a crazy scene was naturally frustrating and desperate. The fortress defenders could only mechanically repeat the action of firing, using the roaring artillery fire to alleviate the impending death.
But when the first Tyranid insect rushed into the fortress, the defense line that had been stable collapsed immediately. The overwhelming sea of chitinous insects rushed down, and the fortress completely fell in less than ten minutes.
The gate was hit with bulges, and the Astra Militarum officer with only one arm left smashed the protective glass and activated the cyclone torpedo buried deep in the fortress:
"Damned alien, be buried with me!"
With a dazzling flash, the entire fortress, along with the last defender, completely disappeared into the starry sky.
Watching the fall of another fortress in the holographic image, Dante, then the head of the Blood Angels, had a dark look in his eyes, but he immediately returned to normal and said to the two guests in front of him:
"It seems that you have come at a really bad time. Now that things have come to this, I agree with your plan to wake up my father. Come with me, Ms. Evelyne. I hope you will not play any tricks, otherwise your weak gods will not be able to save you."
Evelyn, wearing a laurel wreath, nodded in agreement, signaled Qianmian to stay calm, and said politely:
"Of course, you will see the sincerity of the Death Army."
