The universe, whose size cannot be measured, contains billions of galaxies.
The Milky Way is just one of billions of galaxies.
The Milky Way, which humans call home, has 300 billion stars and a diameter of 100,000 light years.
It is difficult for humans to understand the universe, at least not at this stage.
They still need the glory of the Emperor to barely survive in this remote corner of the universe.
For the people living in this era, the Human Empire is the most powerful existence they have ever known.
And to the cold, boundless universe, the vast human empire is insignificant.
... ... ... ... ...
The emergence of the Great Rift has made the connection between the subspace and the real universe closer, and the wind of ether is raging.
It also makes the chaos and killing even more terrifying.
The flames of war spread everywhere.
Even if one of the Emperor's own children were resurrected, the Empire would have to pay a heavy price to continue to maintain the survival of mankind.
Countless war engines set out from the Konor system and, led by the Emperor's own children, headed towards the Charadon sector.
The first battle took place in the Orbor system in the Charadon sector.
The Orb galaxy is a galaxy with a binary star system.
A star in its prime, emitting blue-white light, uses tidal forces to lock onto another aging red dwarf star.
The red dwarf and other planets in the Orb system are controlled by the powerful gravity of the main star and are forced to move around it in periodic motion.
The distance between the two stars is equivalent to a thousand times that from the Sun to Pluto, which is more than 4,000 light hours, or 166 light days.
Converted into conventional units, it is nearly 8,000 astronomical units, or 1.2 trillion kilometers.
Based on Superman's speed, he would probably fly until he starved to death.
Such a distance is unimaginable for ordinary humans.
But from the perspective of stars, the distance between the two stars is already hanging by a thread.
Due to their close proximity, the four planets in this system suffer from chaotic and unstable orbits and are tormented by conflicting solar winds.
This type of star system is very common in the Milky Way.
Multiple star systems often cause planets within the galaxy to be swallowed by stars or ejected into the dark and cold void to drift.
The Orbor system was relatively lucky, as it had four planets left.
Thanks to a combination of gravitational currents and fierce solar winds, these four worlds have become cosmic crucibles, their atmospheres enriched with heavy elements and precious isotopes.
In order to develop these precious resources, humans established mining sites one after another.
A giant hive city extending deep into the ground was also built on Planet No. 2.
The residents live deep underground, avoiding the terrible radiation and stellar storms and maintaining a normal life.
The mining stations in the orbits of various planets collect resources from various planets in the Orbor system day and night to feed the empire's industrial machinery.
The orcs have no desire to develop; they are more accustomed to plundering and destroying.
Every once in a while they come to plunder.
Either hand over some of the supplies or destroy everything.
In the past, their extortion attempts were always successful.
The nobles did not want to waste too much time waging war with them, so being able to use part of their resources to buy peace was a very cost-effective deal for them.
Unfortunately, the orcs were not lucky this time.
They ran into a fleet setting out for war, and a great battle broke out.
In the orbit of the third gas giant in the Orbor system, countless energy beams and explosions flickered in space.
The Ork warships operate on a principle that the Mechanicus priests cannot understand.
It's covered with patches and looks extremely rough.
There were several large warships that were still puffing out black smoke, just like steamships in the Age of Discovery.
The thick black smoke made the mechanical priests wonder if the orcs were using boilers to burn coal, causing those warships that looked like they would fall apart to fly.
No one could believe that something like this could fly into space to fight.
But the orcs have this ability.
Their technology is always so incredible.
The fleets of both sides walked and fought in space, it was brutal and silent.
Humans and orcs alike are bent on destroying each other, unleashing devastating attacks on each other at will.
The warships were fighting each other tightly.
Space was filled with straight lines of lasers, parabolas of torpedoes, and the devastation left by explosions.
A large number of delayed-action nuclear bombs were scattered all over the battlefield. Once touched, the ship would be destroyed and people would die.
Atomic shock waves exploded in the void between the two fleets, and electromagnetic shocks produced long-lasting auditory hallucinations.
Space battles often start at distances of tens of thousands of kilometers, but now the two warring parties are very close.
The distance was so close that even the orc raiders couldn't restrain themselves.
These crazy greenskins simply lit up their crudely made jet packs and tried to jump into battle directly.
The Primaris Space Marines retaliated, beheading every Ork who attempted to board the ship.
The fighting and roaring of both sides resounded through every communication channel.
In the horrific war, an ugly and bloated orc warship was seriously injured in the siege and was on the verge of death.
The orc mecha on the ship knocked on the heads of those orc boys, asking them to cooperate with him to save the battleship.
But what they did was doomed to failure.
Under the continuous bombardment of the Imperial warships, a series of chain explosions occurred in the armory of the Orc warships.
Accompanied by gushing fuel and ion arcs, countless orc corpses exploded from the interior of the orc warship.
The scene was like a mushroom spewing spores.
On the huge main ship of the Orc fleet, the Orc boss saw a powerful warship being destroyed and couldn't help but let out a low roar.
He grabbed a fart spirit and slammed it against the wall to vent his anger.
This action caused the other orcs to cheer excitedly.
"Destroy those damn shrimp ships, this system is ours."
The orc leader roared and demanded that the fleet launch a more fierce attack.
Cheers came across the communications of all the Ork warships.
"WAAAGH."
"WAAAGH."
"WAAAGH."
The orcs cheered because of the order to attack. Even though such an order was almost like sending someone to their death, they did not show any fear but were instead extremely excited.
As the happiest race in the galaxy.
Death does not scare orcs, it only makes them happier.
Faced with the orcs' frenzied counterattack, humans refused to give in, and the battle between the two sides became increasingly intense.
Chapter Master Corvu of the Nova Chapter was in charge of leading the fleet that was battling the Orks.
His ship is the Emperor's Sword, a prestigious battleship.
At this moment, he was standing in front of the control console of the Emperor's Sword.
The Chapter Chaplain stood to his left, the Librarian to his right.
The captains of the first and second companies stood in front of him.
The faces of the five people were illuminated by the scattered light of the holographic projection in front of them, and they looked a little pale.
They have completed the upgrade of the Primaris Space Marines in accordance with the Primarch's orders.
The body covered in power armor looks even taller and more majestic.
"They are losing." Corvu examined the battlefield projection, his voice calm and composed, "But I think we can win faster and then support the ground war on Planet Two."
Before they arrived, the orcs threw a group of orc boys onto the surface of Planet No. 2 in the Orb system.
The Astra Militarum and some of the Primaris Space Marines have gone to the surface to fight.
But facing the orc warriors who were like waves, they could only barely hold on.
Corvu understood that more support was needed on the surface.
If the surface war drags on for a long time, it will be very disadvantageous for mankind.
Orcs are a very powerful and strange race.
They can run and move, but they are not animals, but fungi.
Planting fish in the ground does not necessarily mean you will get fish.
Plant orcs in the ground and you will definitely get a large group of orcs.
Once the orcs who land on the surface are allowed to spread, the planet Orb II will spend a long time to clean up the legacy of the green-skinned orcs.
"Then what should we do?" The captain of the Nova Corps looked at Corvu and asked.
"Join the team and kill their orc boss."
Corvu's finger tapped the largest Ork warship in the holographic projection.
