Warhammer: The Worst Start There Is (40k)

Chapter 74: Extermination Order

Views:

The lumen lights installed on the top of the tunnel flickered, causing the lighting to be very dim.

Korvu and his men, armed with bolters and chainswords, hid in the darkness, waiting for the orcs' counterattack.

They waited for a long time for the expected orc counterattack, but it did not appear.

"This is not in line with the character of an orc."

A team member whispered in the communication channel.

His words resonated with his fellow companions.

In the past, the orcs would have rushed in regardless of the consequences.

But now, there was no movement, which made them feel strange.

"Keep quiet."

Corvo was also surprised.

Holy Emperor, what the hell are these greenskins doing

The tunnel was extraordinarily quiet, with nothing but the crackling sound of poorly maintained electrical circuits and the sound of water dripping from the ceiling in the damp area.

There was no crazy roar of the greenskins.

There was no messy, disorderly footsteps either.

Korwu and his companions went deep underground, so they naturally had no idea that the orcs outside had already been in chaos.

After the orc Ufo killed the clan leader, before he even took the position of clan leader, he learned some bad news from the technician boy.

The shrimps' big ships occupied the sky.

The orcs were isolated on this planet.

"I am the smartest Orc. I don't want to die here. I want to be a warlord and an emperor in the future."

Clan bosses, orc bosses and other big guys were fighting each other all day long, but Wufu felt that they were not as good as himself.

Smart orcs should stay alive so that they can continue to look for enemies to fight with in the future.

Only then can we find better scrap materials and better parts to build bigger, thicker and stronger guns.

To become bigger, greener, stronger and more WAAAGH.

Realizing that he could no longer stay on this planet, Ufo went to find the most powerful mecha king in the clan after the big shrimps entered the tunnel.

It was an orc with many tool hands on his body.

Big Machine can always tinker with all kinds of powerful weapons to help the orcs defeat shrimps, metal boxes and bean sprouts.

In addition to forging weapons, they can also repair various things.

Relying on the prestige of the new clan leader and promising to give the other party a mountain of teeth and a mountain of waste, Ufo got the help of Big Machine.

A twenty-meter-long shrimp transport boat was towed out, and after being tinkered with by the big machine, it flew up and rushed towards the starry sky.

Every part of the transport craft was shaking while in flight.

The engine also puffed out black smoke.

It gives people a feeling that it will fall apart at any time.

But the ship continued to operate steadily in a mode that other races could not understand, rushing into space at an extremely fast speed.

The range of a planet's near-Earth orbit is extremely large.

The Imperial Fleet possesses firepower that the Orks cannot match, but without a defense circle consisting of orbital space stations, weapon satellites, defense platforms and other building structures, it would be difficult to blockade the entire planet.

When the fleet of shrimps was unable to encircle the orcs, Ufo ran away with the Big Mecha and a group of obedient orc boys.

This resulted in the orcs in the area where Corvu and others were located being leaderless.

Countless orcs were fighting each other to the point of bleeding, trying to choose a new clan leader, and they had no time to care about Korwu and the others.

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

Silver Arrow.

Yin Se, the admiral and captain of the Silver Arrow, sat in his command seat, looking at the holographic screen in front of him, his face as cold as ever.

Runes flickered on the dimly lit screen.

These runes represent the rescue team sent by Chapter Master Corvu completing their mission.

The nine runes have turned green, indicating that the mission is completed.

There is one last rune that has not turned green.

The fleet still had to wait.

The communications director, power director, and others each sat in their own seats.

Their scalps were embedded with neural cables connecting them to the battleship's main control center.

The meditators and computer slaves placed behind them are sharing their computing workload, allowing these senior executives to better perform their jobs.

bite!

A clear and pleasant sound was heard, and the last prompt rune turned from red to green.

Representing that all task forces evacuated the surface and went underground.

The original battle plan has been completed, and it is time to move on to the next step.

"Use the virus bomb and launch an extermination order."

Yin Se, sitting on the command throne, straightened his body, turned on the communication channel for the entire fleet, and issued orders.

Following Yin Se's orders, the lower deck became busy, preparing for the extermination order.

Junior officers whipped the lazy crew members with whips to make them do their work more efficiently.

The virus bomb that required several passwords and fingerprint confirmation by officers at all levels was extracted from the Silver Arrow's confidential weapons depot.

It was transported to the gun deck using a huge freight elevator, where it was picked up by a mechanical cantilever and loaded into the macro cannon.

Even when an extermination order was issued that was enough to destroy life on an entire planet, Yin Se remained absolutely calm.

Just stare at the screen in front of you until the prompt rune indicating that the Extinction Order is ready appears on the screen, then take the next step.

"Extinction purification activated." Yin Se pressed the button and whispered.

Amidst the silent roar, shells loaded with microbial viruses were fired by the macro cannon and flew towards the planet.

A large number of shells were detonated on the planet, and waves of green mist were stirred up at the explosion site.

Looking from outer space, the explosion locations of the shells are evenly distributed.

The green mist formed by the explosion expanded rapidly, covering the entire planet.

The Empire possesses many weapons capable of destroying planets.

But if we talk about the best way to purify the greenskins, this virus bomb is undoubtedly the most suitable.

The virus kills those invisible spores, ensuring that there are no future problems.

The original intention of designing this virus bomb was to wipe out all life on the surface of the planet.

It will destroy the target's cell structure at the molecular level.

It only takes a few seconds for the virus to quickly devour everything and then quickly divide and grow.

Any flesh and blood that comes into contact with these viruses will dissolve into a pool of rancid flesh and blood.

The virus shells fired by the Silver Arrow are enough to destroy the world hundreds of times.

They were dropped at different latitudes and altitudes, thoroughly covering every corner of the planet.

Boosted by air currents, the viruses quickly crossed forests and plains, entered oceans and rivers, swept through aquatic algae communities, and covered all life on the planet.

Purifying an entire planet with chainswords and artillery fire is a time-consuming and costly undertaking.

Using viruses is quick and easy.

The orcs roared to the sky, ready to fight those damn shrimps.

Unfortunately, their idea was doomed to fail.

The orcs looked up at the sky. Before they could react, they were already infected by the virus and died on the spot.

The flesh and blood dissolved and flowed from the skeleton, the nervous system collapsed and shattered, and the bones became as soft as jelly.

In a dozen minutes, tens of thousands of orcs fell, disintegrating into decaying flesh and blood.

... ... ..

The giant screen in the battleship's control room showed the virus bomb eroding the entire world.

A dark patch bloomed like an evil flower, quickly expanding into a black ring, swallowing up everything on the surface at an alarming speed, leaving only gray wasteland behind.

On the other side, another wave of decay spread from another area on the surface, leaving behind only decaying flesh and blood wherever it passed.

The two streams of black matter merged and continued to spread across the surface of the planet like some terrible disease.

All life on the planet is screaming.

The orcs roared in extreme pain, but after a moment, they were unable to make any sound.

The virus corroded their internal organs and vocal organs, turning them into silent corpses.

The rotten flesh and blood flowed like a long strange river.

Too bad the orcs have no connection to the warp.

Otherwise, the death of so many orcs would definitely cause a violent warp ether storm.

Korvo and the others stood in the darkness, they already knew that the fleet had launched an extermination order attack.

They were underground, imagining what a horrible hell it was above.

Faced with so many deaths, Yin Se on the bridge was not moved at all and was indifferent to the deaths of the aliens.

Wait until the entire planet is covered by the virus and decays and rots.

Yin Se then issued the second order, preparing to set the entire planet on fire to ensure the effectiveness of the extinction order.
