“Is it bad?” Minka asked.

"The situation is really bad." Valdi shrugged. "When we were close to the physical universe, we got the latest information about the rebellion in the Connie galaxy. The enemy has occupied most of the planet Connie 1. Including the surface foundry, mining area, and capital city have all been captured by them. Our mission is to take them back and keep them as intact as possible."

"Why did they rebel?" Minka asked. "What did it say? Was it the supervisors who rebelled, or was it the excessive oppression of the local dignitaries?"

"It's the Great Rift." Vardy said with a hint of sadness in his tone, "Because of our fault, they have fallen into madness."

Hearing this, Minka also showed a trace of sadness.

They were supposed to protect the Empire.

The Cadia Fortress is the most important part of curbing the expansion of the Eye of Terror.

However, they failed.

The Great Predator accomplished his plan.

Cadia was destroyed, the Eye of Terror expanded, and many worlds fell into despair and darkness.

The poor civilians were driven mad by this.

Few can resist the effects of the Great Rift.

They will become more extreme.

The monsters hiding in the shadows will become more and more crazy.

The population of mutants and wild psykers has skyrocketed, and many worlds are crying out for help.

This is a terrible crisis that humanity has never experienced before.

And the reason for all this is that they failed to protect the Cadia Fortress.

They failed the Empire's expectations.

Minka didn't continue the conversation, her face was filled with pain that she couldn't hide.

The children of Khadija lost everything.

Their comrades, their honor, their homeland.

... ... ... ... ... ..

After a while, the subspace pressure pulses on the spacecraft disappeared.

In its place was the low rumble of the plasma drive.

This is proof that the transport ship has left the Warp.

With the help of the mechanical priest, the gravity device readjusted the gravity parameters to ensure that the ship could sail smoothly on the planet Connie.

The fleet leader quickly confirmed the situation in the Connie system.

The rebels have not yet taken control of the void, and there is still a chance to save everything.

After resolution, the commanders decided to land and retake the planet Connie 1.

Conducting orbital bombardment on a Rebel-held planet is a foolish decision.

The factories and cities controlled by the rebels are all the Emperor's property and are important trump cards for the Primarch to launch the Indomitus Crusade.

Far more valuable than those rebels.

The best way is to use ground troops to take it back.

After several military meetings.

The transport ship entered low-Earth orbit around the planet Connie One.

They will unleash their ground forces to reclaim the Emperor's precious legacy.

In the breakfast restaurant, Minka received her own breakfast.

A serving of fried ant meat, a serving of reconstituted eggs, and a glass of artificial milk.

She found a random seat and sat down, eating the food on the plate in silence.

The other Cadian soldiers were as silent as she was.

My hometown was blown into a pile of meteorites scattered in space.

No one would laugh if something like this happened to them.

Vardy took his food and sat across from Minka, "Have you watched the news?"

"What's wrong?" Minka said absentmindedly.

"Don't you know? The Primarchs, the Emperor's own children, the Thirteenth Primarch gave a speech to the Imperium. You missed out if you didn't watch the video of the parade. Tens of thousands of new Angels of the Emperor, and even more Astra Militarum Legions, Titans, and most importantly, they have many war machines as big as the moon."

"I heard that those war machines can tear apart the enemy fleet with gravity alone. You know the orcs' battle moons!!"

Vardy became excited when he talked about this.

While eating, he gestured with his hands.

That soul-stirring parade made him realize for the first time how powerful human beings are.

The expeditionary force under the Primarch's command was defeated even with the arrival of the Great Plunderer Abaddon.

It’s too strong, so strong that it’s outrageous.

Hearing about the orcs' battle moon, Minka perked up a little.

She had never experienced a battle with orcs, but when she was studying at the military academy, her instructor took her to visit the weapons archive of the galactic alien forces.

The Ork battle moons are an absolute threat to the Empire.

It is said that during the Beast Wars, a Battle Moon was suspended in the sky above Terra.

At that time, the human empire was in danger.

It's only one step away from destruction.

In the minds of many military researchers in the Empire, Battle Moon is much more terrifying than Blackstone Fortress.

"What happened to the orcs' battle moon?" Minka looked up and asked.

"It is said that the terrifying war machines in the hands of the Primarch destroyed the Ork Battle Moon with just one shot." Vardi said excitedly, "With just one shot, the fleet of the Ork warlord Arsonist was destroyed, the void power of the Ork Empire was annihilated, and the foundation for victory was laid."

Minka and several nearby Cadian soldiers looked at Valdi, their eyes showing, are you kidding me

A battle moon that kills orcs with one shot!!

Do you know what this concept is

Killing the battle moon with one shot is equivalent to destroying a star with one shot

This is an exaggeration.

Is today April Fools' Day

Are you trying to fool us with such a cheap joke

"I'm telling the truth, look at this." Vardy took out his data tablet.

The information and data videos inside were obtained from the Star Language Communications Department.

As they clicked play, the majestic human fleet appeared on the screen, and everyone couldn't help but marvel at the size of the fleet.

However, this is not the highlight of the video.

All that could be seen was a giant semicircular structure at the rear of the fleet. When the battle in the void was most intense, it emitted a brilliant, bright light that was enough to illuminate the entire void.

Destroy all orc ships along the way with great ease.

Those orc ships couldn't even fight back and were completely destroyed in the dazzling light.

The images played left Minka and several nearby Cadian soldiers stunned.

The soldiers at the next table also squeezed over.

Everyone's eyes widened when they saw the devastating scene.

The orcish battle moon slowly disintegrated in the beams of light.

Plasma molten lava gushed out of the cracks like magma leaking from the earth's core.

A series of explosions occurred on the surface of the Battle Moon, engulfing many Orc factories in flames.

When everything finally settled, the huge battle moon slowly disintegrated in the void.

Some debris was pulled by the planet's gravity and slowly fell to the ground, bursting into even stronger flames due to friction with the atmosphere.

Minka was completely shocked when she saw the scene played on the data board.

She tried hard to say something, but found that her mind had been shocked to the point of being blank, and she couldn't say anything.

After holding it in for a long time, he finally uttered a sentence.

“So powerful!!”

The situation of others was not much better than Minka.

All were shocked.

I was stunned and couldn't recover for a long time.

When I saw Guilliman speaking passionately and calling on all humans in the empire to unite and fight against the enemy of humanity, my shock turned into passion.

They couldn't help but cheer along with the marching teams in the video.

To fight for the Primarch, to slay the enemy, to realize the lost dream of the Emperor.

After breakfast, Minka and others' feelings of loss were swept away.

They lost the fortress of Cadia.

The honor of the Cartier people was also lost.

But we believe that under the leadership of the Primarch, they will definitely take back everything that the Cadians have lost.

They would beat Chaos to a pulp and show those damned demons and traitors that the Cartians had never been defeated.

Vardy was also pleased with the effect of the video.

This was exactly what the Primarch had intended, to cheer up the many loyalists of the Imperium.

Let them understand that the battle between humans and the subspace has not yet been settled, and humans have only lost a short round.

Soon, Humanity will fight back and make Chaos and traitors pay a heavy price.

After breakfast time.

A new notice has come down.

Several Cadian regiments will be put on the ground to fight.

The power of the transport ship's plasma drive engine dropped to the lowest level after entering low-Earth orbit.

The originally noisy buzzing sound became as thin as a mosquito.

After packing everything, the Kania soldiers carried their bags and walked to the airborne deck one by one.

The regiment's heavy supplies were being loaded into wide trailers by machine slaves equipped with power lifts, transported to automatic forklifts, and then loaded onto transport ships.

Dry food, medical supplies, ammunition, weapons and accessories for combat vehicles were all packed and ready to be sent to the ground with the landing of the Corps.

After a long time, the transport ship slowly landed.

Accompanied by the hissing sound of high-pressure gas, the hangar door slowly opened.

The Cadian soldiers marched out from the landing deck in neat rows.

The transport ship was built to be sturdy, like a seabird on land, with a huge beak made of armored ceramsite.

Chimaera troop carriers and heavy tanks were driving down the deck's metal ramps.

There was not just one ship, but many, filling the huge airport.

A large number of soldiers disembarked from the transport ships.

They lined up in a long line and assembled together according to the orders of their respective regiments.

There was a roaring sound everywhere in the airport.

A large number of war vehicles were lowered, and their drivers controlled them to rumble forward.

Minka also stepped forward, following closely behind her troops.

Half an hour later, the team walked out of the airport and onto a highway.

The airport is located in the center of a vast flat plain.

When you walk outside, you can see endless fields.

Planet Connie 1 is an agricultural planet.

Responsible for providing sufficient agricultural products to other galaxies.

Minka saw the sprinkler system spinning on a central axis, the circular fields a rich green with dry brown bushes, a stark contrast to the low white farmhouses in the shade of the trees.

On the plain in the distance, there are a large number of white grape racks covered with green vines. Several suspended machines are spraying designated pesticides and nutrient solutions.

Further away are high mountains covered with snow.

There were hardly any clouds in the sky, it was incredibly blue, as if it had just been washed.

The only flaw is that disgusting big crack.

It ruined an almost perfect natural picture.

"This is really a great place." Minka exclaimed.

Minka took a deep breath. The air was so fresh that it felt like her entire lungs were cleansed.

Watching this beautiful scene, the soul traumatized by war was also cleansed.

"Indeed, it's much better than our previous battlefield." The soldier next to him also said.

Everyone was talking and laughing.

Then a shrill alarm sounded.

It came very suddenly.

It was as sudden as a hard-working worker was screwing in screws, and suddenly a group of men in black rushed in and told the worker that he was the lost biological son of the richest man in the world, and that he was going back to inherit a million-dollar fortune.

Minka's face changed, and according to her years of training, she rushed to a huge rock, which could serve as a temporary shelter.

Then, several shells landed where she was just now, creating a huge shock wave.
