Andy watched for a moment, then shifted his attention away from the intelligence data of the Void Battlefield.
The Empire's power in the void should not be underestimated.
The minions of the God of Plague are difficult to break through, let alone achieve any constructive results.
The Plague God's offensive was blocked on the edge world of Ultramar.
Prevented the other party from destroying other galaxies and suppressed the crisis within a controllable range.
Andy turned his attention back to the battlefield. The enemy was retreating into the fog.
Soon, they will attack again.
The war here has been going on for three years.
Andy had already figured out the enemy's attack rhythm.
The enemies of the Imperium and Chaos continue to fight on the planets of the fringe, using technology and faith to fight against the evil magic of the Warp.
"Sir, the enemy has completely withdrawn from our firing range." The adjutant came up.
His protective suit was covered in rancid sludge.
The goggles were also filthy.
A dead fly was swatted to death on the heavy military uniform, leaving a pale, pus-filled stain.
"Be prepared for the rotation." Andy took a look at the communication from the command center and spoke.
Hearing this, the soldier next to him smiled palely.
They have been soaked in mud and water for more than three months.
Eating, drinking, defecating, urinating and sleeping were basically done in the muddy trenches.
For safety reasons, they did not take off their dirty military uniforms whether eating or sleeping.
The food is a tasteless, high-calorie nutrient solution.
Without even taking off his military uniform, he used the food interface to connect to the nutrients and sucked them in directly.
The long battle had stretched their physical and mental strength to the limit.
The Son of Sara needs to rest before he can fight again.
The plague is no joke.
With just one bite, those flies can spread a plague enough to bring down an entire army in seconds.
They endured these harsh conditions and held out in the muddy trenches until the arrival of relief troops.
This battle is destined not to be decided in a short time.
The Plague God wants to overwhelm the empire with disease.
This is not an easy thing to do.
It is not an easy task for the empire to completely expel the minions of the God of Plague.
Cultists, traitors, and radicals dissatisfied with the current state of the Empire are also strengthening the power of the Plague God and supporting Mortarion's plans.
The two sides have been engaged in a tug-of-war.
Maintaining the war on the edge world.
Soon, soldiers who were changing guard arrived from the ruined city.
They were the Catachan troops who had just had a rest.
Like the Sarah Corps, they also wore heavy military uniforms and exoskeleton armor over the uniforms to isolate the epidemic area and avoid excessive casualties due to the plague.
The Sara Corps withdrew from the front line, their exoskeleton armor and vehicles were all dirty and covered in mud.
When fighting against the minions of the God of Plague, the most uncomfortable thing is not their offensive, but things like plague rain, flies and invisible diseases.
Just one breath of unpurified air could bring in a virus powerful enough to wipe out an entire army.
In the early stages of the invasion by the Plague God's minions, many troops encountered such things.
The plague was transmitted through flies and the air. In just a few days, it transformed an entire army and turned them all into zombies.
Andy led his troops towards the center of the ruined city.
The ruins are still protected by void shields, but the workers inside still wear heavy work clothes to avoid being infected by the plague.
The city is much cleaner and drier than outside.
Many troops who retreated temporarily hid in the charred buildings to rest.
Their vehicles were scattered on the streets.
There was also mud all over it.
Even the knight mechas were the same, dirty and looked extremely shabby.
Andy was sitting on the troop carrier, and she occasionally saw the soldiers taking a rest.
Here, even when they sleep, they need to wear heavy military uniforms to avoid being infected by the ubiquitous plague.
In the center of the ruined city stands a building made of complex metal structures, covering a vast area, like a giant city.
A bright beam of light was like a giant pillar supporting the sky, emitting a strong blue and white light like a fluorescent tube, very dazzling.
When Andy and others approached the building, they heard a roaring sound.
The whole earth was shaking and the little stones were trembling.
That building was a massive transporter that maintained a space channel to the Celestial-class battleships, allowing Imperial forces to travel to and from planets and battleships without the need for drop pods.
A huge energy supply device is installed underground, drawing stable geothermal energy to maintain the space channel.
The shaking of the earth was caused by those huge devices, shaking the entire stratum.
Andy sat on the troop carrier and stared at the building. Even though she had been there several times, she was still shocked by it.
This is a miracle of human technology.
After the Imperial Regent took power, Imperial technology began a comprehensive reform.
This space device that can maintain a stable channel is also a product of reform and innovation.
For the veterans of the former empire's troops, these things are simply subversive.
It completely changed their inherent perception of war.
The generals occasionally talked about things in the past.
They could only land on the surface with the help of the Empire's transport planes.
This process is very thrilling.
You need to avoid the enemy's anti-aircraft firepower and hunting by fighter jets before you have a chance to establish a front line on the ground.
In every landing battle, there are at least 10% casualties.
In serious cases, it is not uncommon for the entire team to be wiped out.
And now, with the maturity of the Empire's teleportation technology.
The Empire has basically abandoned the use of transport aircraft for landing operations, and is now exclusively using space teleportation to transport ground forces.
It is not so easy to enter the passage and return to the battleship to rest.
You need to go through a complex security process before you can pass through the security channel.
The diseases spread by the enemy have supernatural activity.
Therefore, strict quarantine procedures are required.
This is a very important job.
Andy and her troops need to be thoroughly cleansed to eliminate the plague.
They were asked to lay down all weapons and equipment.
In a sterile, enclosed space filled with the pungent smell of disinfectant, take off your clothes and rinse every part of your body.
It will then be checked and sent to the next procedure only after it is confirmed that there are no problems.
In addition to the medical quarantine procedures at the real level, there are also exorcism ceremonies presided over by the state religion and the demon inquisitor.
Every soldier was required to drink the holy water that had been prayed for on the spot and chant the Emperor's poems.
This is a necessary safety inspection procedure.
Medical procedures can only check the body for latent plague.
But the God of Plague’s methods are not limited to these. The plague can not only harm the body, but also the soul. This is what makes it so scary.
Many patients are physically healthy, but their souls have fallen into darkness, becoming minions and vessels of those monsters.
After completing all the inspections, Andy and others put on simple clothes and lined up to walk towards the transmission channel.
The quartermaster will disinfect and clean their equipment and weapons, and if the situation is not urgent, they will be sealed and await their next use.
If the situation is tense, they may be assigned to other corps.
This is necessary cooperation.
If we bring the equipment back, it will take more energy and resources.
In order to optimize the use of resources, commanders are tough on this matter.
All the corps' equipment and personnel were separated to ensure absolute safety.
The passage is very bright.
The servo skull was suspended, and from time to time it would randomly check one or two soldiers to check their identity information.
Automatic turrets and machine guns moved back and forth in an orderly manner, and radar devices locked onto all soldiers within range.
"March forward, line up and move forward." The law enforcement officer, wearing full protective gear and holding a baton, stood aside to maintain order in the passage.
At the end of the passage, people walked into the light hole emitting strong light one by one.
The light hole was like a gluttonous beast, devouring the surging crowd.
After completing the complicated inspection procedures and waiting in such a long line, Andy was already exhausted by the time he reached the light hole at the end of the passage.
She didn't want to understand how the complex machines worked, or how these mysterious machines could create a stable space channel leading to the warship.
She just wanted to go back, have a good rest for a while, and then continue to fight on the battlefield.
The pungent smell of ionized ozone rushed into Andy's nose, but she didn't care about it and just walked straight towards the light hole.
The stray arcs of static electricity gave her goose bumps all over her body.
A very special feeling came over her.
The moment she entered the light hole, she felt that time had stopped.
It's like the flow of time has returned to zero.
Instead, there is a very wonderful sense of transcendence.
The feeling of being outside of everything and transcending everything.
Everything went dark before her eyes.
However, the feeling soon disappeared, and then the light reappeared.
"Go forward and don't block the people behind you." A cold voice came.
Andy looked in the direction of the voice and saw a helmeted law enforcement officer standing on a platform nearby, asking her to continue moving forward.
She had arrived at a huge dome hall.
