Ryan listened to what both sides said.
One faction wanted to use the Empire's direct advantage to crush the Undead, and use continuous failures to irritate the nerves of several Undead overlords and cause their alliance to collapse.
One faction wants to use decapitation tactics to eliminate the overlord of the Undead and accelerate the defeat of the Undead.
The conflict between the Silent King and the Storm King is irreconcilable.
The Storm King wants to seize the supreme ruling power.
As the former head of the Triarchal Council, the Silent King would never submit to the rule of the Storm King.
Both sides have some truth in their remarks.
Lai En did not express his opinion clearly, but acted as a listener.
Necessary debate is meaningful.
These generals may not be as good as the Primarch, but their abilities should not be underestimated.
Each of them is an elite of the empire and has rich war experience.
A great empire never relies on a small group of people, but on everyone in the empire.
Ryan knew that the Empire would one day break free from the protection of the Primarch and move towards an unforeseeable future on its own.
Watching the changes in the holographic projection in the conference room and the information in the information window, he evaluated the pros and cons of the two factions' suggestions.
He stood up only after the argument between the two sides came to an end.
"Perhaps, what you said makes sense. A direct war will inevitably cause the disadvantaged Undead to distrust each other and aggravate their collapse. A decapitation operation can allow the Empire to end the war at the fastest speed and with the lowest cost. Both plans have their own advantages and disadvantages. The Undead Overlords have extremely advanced technology in their hands, and it is not an easy task to execute them. In a direct war, facing a disaster that is enough to exterminate them, the various dynasties will speed up the awakening of their still sleeping companions, and the Empire is very likely to face an unprecedented behemoth."
"I don't have a very good idea about this. Maybe we should prepare for both situations. Start a war head-on, and also find a way to execute those high-ranking officials. The impact of executing the Storm King and the Silent King is very likely to affect the changes in the pattern of the Space Undead. Therefore, the execution action cannot be carried out against those overlords who are qualified to compete for the position of supreme ruler, but against those Space Undead who are capable but not qualified to compete."
"The Undead have lost their ability to reproduce. In addition, tens of millions of years of slumber have caused most of them to lose their minds and become soulless machines. The overall planning of the battle can only rely on those senior generals whose minds have not been destroyed. Losing a senior general is an irreparable loss for them, and the weakening of their strength is irreversible."
No one refuted Lai En's remarks, and many military commanders fell into deep thought.
If they thought about it carefully, the strategic concept proposed by Lai En resolved the conflict between the two factions, and they really had nothing to refute.
"Of course, this plan still needs to be carefully planned." Ryan said, "We still have some time before we reach the frontline battlefield. Perhaps we can plan the next battle based on this idea."
... ... ..
... ... ... ... ... ...
Sharp cries echoed across the Macragge's Glory, the piercing alarm sounding from bow to stern, from the metal towers on the top floor to the cabins on the bottom floor, every where echoed.
All the crew members started running, and driven by responsibility and the human instinct for survival, they rushed to deal with the sudden emergency.
The crew members who had just taken their shift and went to sleep got up from their beds as quickly as possible, put on their exoskeleton armors in a well-trained manner, and checked their weapons.
At this moment, all lights on the ship except the red alarm light were off.
"Crimson-class invasion event, quick, quick." A man in an officer's uniform shouted, "Put on your exoskeletons, guard every hatch, move quickly, we must not let them take away the Macragge's Honor."
A large number of attack alert information was distributed to everyone's panel through the battleship's database.
The fleet encountered an ambush, and the flagship, Macragge's Glory, was the enemy's priority target.
A large number of monsters poured into the cabin through unknown means, invading like a virus.
All the crew members were armed, and the only way to survive was to drive out those monsters.
If the ship was lost, they would be dead, and the fate might be even more painful than death.
"In the name of the Emperor, we must defend Macragge's Glory," the officer shouted. "In the name of the Emperor, we must not admit defeat."
"In the name of the Emperor of the Empire."
"In the name of the Emperor of the Empire."
Others also responded loudly.
"Hurry, head to the battle hatch, we have to drive them out." The officer waved his hand, signaling the crew to speed up.
The attack happened quickly.
When the fleet left the warp, it was attacked by the enemy.
The other party had been planning this for a long time and was waiting for the opportunity.
This time the operation should be very secretive.
No one knows why the enemy guessed the coordinates of the Imperial Fleet!!
The Geller force field had not yet been transformed into a deflector shield and a void shield when it was boarded by the enemy.
Even the interceptors didn't have time to be dispatched.
The enemy has already boarded the Empire's warships.
There was no time left for the imperial troops to react.
All those who entered the battleship were monsters or dead people.
Those imperial soldiers who had died in the war were controlled by a mysterious force and crawled up like zombies.
With twisted steps, they launch an attack on the loyalists of the Empire.
No one knows how the enemy does this.
The souls of those corpses have been taken away.
But the other party still made them stand up.
This may be the true meaning of cancer.
Those monsters never cared about souls or anything.
They continue to multiply relying on flesh and blood.
They are like normal cells contaminated by cancer cells.
The dead became soulless corpses and launched attacks under the control of the enemy.
The shrill howls echoed in every corner of the cabin, and the squirming flesh and blood spread like a tide.
A bolt of lightning burst out from the darkness, and hideous monsters rushed towards the defense line organized by the empire with weapons in hand.
The automatic turrets and the soldiers' weapons made a noisy sound, drowning out the suffocating madness.
... ... ...
Main information room.
Countless information poured into the battleship and gathered here.
Men and women connected to the main console sat here listening and issuing orders to various areas according to the emergency tactical manual.
Karga's face looked extremely ugly.
The casualties of the two regiments forced him to give up the mission of pursuing Abaddon and turn to deal with the evil forces hidden behind the Black Legion.
Who would have thought that the assembled fleet would be attacked by the enemy as soon as it jumped out of the subspace.
The other party pounced on them like a hungry wolf, trying to crush their resistance.
"The third hatchway was lost, and the enemy poured in."
"We need more support, there are enemies floating in space, shoot them."
"Requesting emergency support, requesting emergency support."
... ... ... .
The noisy alarm sounded in various communication channels.
"Sir, according to emergency procedures, you should leave the Macragge's Glory." The captain said, "We can't let the Supreme Commander fall into the enemy's encirclement. Emergency transmission has been prepared, please go to a safe area."
"No." Calgar let out a low roar, "I will tear those bastards to pieces. If the Macragge's Glory is lost in my hands, how can I be qualified to see His Majesty?"
"Sir, if you continue to stay here, you will be in danger." A guard also came out. "If you fall into the hands of the enemy, or die in this battle, the consequences will be disastrous. Please leave your useful body behind and be loyal to His Majesty."
Calgar looked at the guard and wanted to refuse angrily.
But he still sighed, realizing that he couldn't let his anger control him.
He is not only a soldier but also a commander. What he has to consider is the victory of the entire battlefield rather than personal glory.
"There is a chaotic energy flow in the space. The other party has blocked the space dimension. The divine brain is analyzing and relocating the transmission coordinates." The monitoring supervisor made a terrified voice, "Sir, the emergency transmission has been closed."
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of many crew members on the bridge changed immediately.
Karga heaved a sigh of relief.
Escaping or staying were both difficult choices for him.
Macragge's Glory is the faith of the Ultramarines. If they are forced to abandon it for the sake of the overall situation, the impact on the entire chapter will be immeasurable, and it may even cause morale to fall apart.
But if he insisted on staying and ignored the overall situation for the sake of Macragge's Glory, the Father of Genes would be disappointed in him.
Now, the enemy cut off the emergency transmission, but helped him make a choice.
"Send an order, the flagship has been blockaded by the enemy, and command will be automatically transferred in accordance with the Imperial wartime regulations. You can evacuate the battlefield when necessary, and do not put yourself in danger for the Macragge's Glory." said Calgar.
"Understood." The communications director conveyed Calgar's original words to the other warships.
A loud bang was heard from outside the door, followed by the sound of bombs exploding and the roar of monsters.
After a moment, the sound subsided again.
"Assemble." Calgar activated his gauntlet and raised the thick muzzle of the bolter. "The enemy is coming."
His guards raised their shields and held activated power weapons, forming a defensive formation at the gate.
The bridge's door is protected by a protective force field and is made of the latest materials, making it extremely sturdy.
But with several loud noises in succession, the door was still broken open by brute force.
The huge cancerous Hulks rushed in and engaged in a melee with the Primaris warriors.
The grenade launcher equipped on Calgar's gloves was ignited like a storm, knocking a five-meter-tall Hulk flying on the spot and crashing it into the thick metal bulkhead.
The Heart of the Empire was operating at full capacity, transforming him into a demigod of the battlefield with nearly infinite power.
These Hulks are not very strong, they just have the blood of the Hulk's ancestor, Dr. Banner, and do not have that kind of almost unlimited potential. They are just powerful cannon fodder.
Calgar roared and swung his huge fists, smashing all the cancerous monsters that rushed in.
Until a black lightning struck him flying.
A monster wearing a winged helmet and lightning armor walked out from the end of the corridor, holding a short-handled warhammer full of cracks in his hand.
"I am the God of Thunder. Everything in this world will belong to the great Yog-Sothoth. Foolish mortals, do you want to resist this destined fate?"
The Thunder God responded with a roar and a powerful punch from Calgar.
Heart of Empire Overload Mode activated
Target: Cancerous creatures-; Thunder Force psychic users
The spatial trajectory has been locked, and the target's mind is suppressed.
Lock the target space dimension and block the opponent's escape route.
... ... ... ... ... ..
As the right-hand man of the current emperor, Calgar has received the most advanced technological support from the empire.
After the third-stage Primaris upgrade came out, he upgraded it immediately.
With the help of the Heart of the Empire, Calgar's power has already increased to a terrifying level.
By distorting the spatial coordinates, he can instantly cross the distance between himself and the enemy.
With just one punch, he smashed the opponent's hammer and grabbed his head.
"Monster, who do you think you are provoking? Do you think you can defeat the human empire with such power?"
Karga punched him hard.
The leaping arc of electricity flashed on the boxing gloves, and with just one punch, the opponent's head was smashed into pieces. Then a few more punches were added, which broke the opponent's armored body into pieces.
Calgar threw the body of the God of Thunder away like garbage and looked outside the bridge at the corridor full of squirming flesh and blood.
There was no trace of joy on his face, only solemnity.
"I know you're there, come out, monster."
"I really shouldn't have underestimated you. The God of Asgard was killed just like that."
A hoarse, distorted voice filled with extreme malice sounded.
The first generation Captain Marvel - Marvel came out, followed by those twisted heroes with powerful powers.
Phoenix power.
The second generation Captain Marvel.
And the original Hulk.
... ... .
Each of them possesses great power, and after being distorted by Yog-Sothoth, they have become extremely terrifying.
The surviving Primaris warriors also gathered around Calgar, raised their shields, and stared at these cancerous monsters.
"Your resistance is meaningless. To the great Yog-Sothoth, it is just a trivial game." Marvell's weird face covered with wriggling flesh revealed his fanaticism for what he was following and a hint of disdain for Calgar and others.
No force has ever been able to stand against them.
The fate of this human empire is sealed.
The cancerous legion will destroy it utterly, and take its ridiculous emperor with it.
"Surrender, and you will be reborn in the eternal realm. When you gain eternal life, you will find how ridiculous everything you once held on to was."
"All I see are a bunch of pathetic monsters." Karga said, "Do you think you've won?"
"Victory is assured." Ma Weil slowly floated up, "You will witness my true power."
