“…”
Looking at the cold universe that has returned to tranquility and darkness. The four primarchs who were at the forefront of the expeditionary battleship group and piloted their respective god bodies couldn't help but stagnate.
this…
Is this solved?
Robert's original plan was to let Angron, who was good at charging into battle, and Sanguinius, who was at the top of his psychic abilities, break into the battle planet together if the star bomb failed to destroy the Ulan Behemoth's waaagh stance. On the surface, they join forces to carry out strangulation operations.
Then, he and Leon led four legions of Glory Guards to eliminate another eighteen orc bosses and destroy the battle planet at close range.
At this time, Nova, and Sarah Kerrigan, who has been baptized by war, will be sitting in the psychic "amplification" device on the Dawn Guardian, taking over from the Primarchs piloting the God's Body, and continuing to suppress the Orc fleet and the Battle Moon The resulting waaagh position.
After all, when the plan was specified before the war, Robert estimated the shield world's firepower at the bare minimum.
I never expected that the firepower of the Shield World would be so powerful, but... this is not a bad thing.
If Ruth were here, he might complain, "Fuck, I didn't get to fight that giant beast with my own hands. My hands are so damn itchy." However, Robert prefers this kind of thing that exceeds expectations and keeps the number of casualties under control. "Surprise" results within the acceptable range.
Moreover, after dealing with the main force of the orcs and the giant Ulan beast, the green-skin empire, which only has eleven orc bosses left, is not a big problem for the current expeditionary force.
The most important thing is…
They got a complete shield world!
And it is more than two circles larger than the shield world that was destroyed by Magnus and Leon due to the flooding of the Flood. It has all kinds of facilities. The only flaw is that the surface is covered with hot and scalding magma.
But it doesn't get in the way.
"This time..." In the driving bolt filled with viscous, transparent liquid, Robert looked at the shield world through the sight provided by the body of God. He couldn't help but show excitement and said to himself: "Finally, I found a suitable flagship for my father. Got it!"
"Warmaster, what is the next order?"
At this moment, Corax's inquiry came from the communication, which made Robert stop his excitement, calm down for a moment, opened the communication and ordered: "You and your guards are on standby for the time being, and at the same time, let the memory storage body try to Cool down the shield world."
"Yes, Warmaster."
Corax responded briefly and ended the communication, while Robert had completely calmed down and focused on the post-war finishing matters.

…
Four hours later.
More than 11,000 expeditionary warships and more than 900 "scrap" warships are anchored in the low-Earth orbit of the shield world where the surface has cooled and heavy rains have begun to wreak havoc.
Countless engineering boats and repair ships were seen shuttled between the "scrapped" warships and the expeditionary force, repairing the warships whose hulls were damaged and could no longer maintain full air pressure.
Some battleships that are riddled with holes and have distorted hull structures will be dismantled, recycled, and sent to Phoenix-class support boats, supply ships, and transport ships.
As for the battleship with unstable engines and the risk of exploding at any time, it was forcibly destroyed after the expeditionary force gathered in front of the shield world's low-Earth orbit and completed the evacuation of personnel.
The casualty count has not yet been completed, but Robert believes that it is at least between 5.1 and 5.4 million.
Many of them suffered the psychic impact from the waaagh position, or the high-energy beams emitted by the fighting moon and fighting planets, and even their men and ships sacrificed their lives.
If Robert looked at this number according to rational thinking, it would be "insignificant". After all, his pre-war estimate was to double this number several times.
What's more, in a naval battle of this scale, "only" about five million people were lost, which was definitely considered a complete victory and worthy of celebration.
But humans, as perceptual animals, cannot only look at the surface when thinking about anything.
five million…
He was also the leader of mankind's first expedition against the Covenant Empire, but the total number of casualties was only 240,000, and this was still counting the Sangheili.
Therefore, the joy of victory was quickly washed away by the sadness that followed.
At the same time, the Umbrella headquarters building.
Sui Bian, who is located in the center of the top-floor office, uses a realistic holographic projection to simulate the real-life images next to the center console of the Dawn Guardian, including Robert, Leon, Corax, Angron and Sanguinius, making him immersed in the scene. Standing next to his sons like this.
"You did a good job." Sui Bian looked at Robert and said first, "Don't feel guilty."
In fact, when the image appeared, the first time he saw Robert, Sui Bian could see through his micro-expressions what his eldest son was worried about.
After all, as the "old" father of the original bodies, he knew each of his sons well, so he looked around and said with habitual appreciation and affirmation: "You have all made the right decision and you have not made any mistakes, children. , I believe it won’t be long before you can completely eliminate the green-skinned beast disaster.”
"Father, don't worry." Robert also responded on behalf of all the brothers: "We are fine, we just feel a little sorry."
"Yes." Sui Bian nodded lightly, then looked at the "sphere" suspended on Robert's right hand side, and said, "Then let's get started. It's time to understand the relationship between those greenskins and the administrators' civilization."
"yes."
Robert stretched out his right hand and placed it on the "sphere" for sensing. When he retracted his right hand, the "sphere" had completed its imaging, showing Sui Bian and the others the appearance of the storage body named Merck.
See this.
Sui Bian raised his head slightly, faced the storage body and asked directly: "Please explain the relationship between the administrator and the green-skinned orcs."
After hearing this, the storage body was first scanned through Sui Bian's holographic imaging, and after confirming that Sui Bian was a human being, he explained without emotion:
"The kror people are a biological weapon developed by the managers using biotechnology due to the raging storm in another space, to help the managers fight against various races that are willing or forced to corrupt and degenerate.
In order to speed up reproduction, the managers removed the gender distinction of the Kor people, implanted spore propagation and photosynthetic reactions into them, and also implanted knowledge in weapons use, rapid learning, and tactical coordination into their genes.
After they complete their development and grow into human form and emerge from the ground, they can directly go into battle as qualified soldiers with a considerable level of IQ.
Whenever an individual among them kills one or more enemies, they will continue to stimulate their own potential, becoming taller, better, and stronger.
In the early stage of the war between the managers and the alien space, the Kor people performed well. At the same time, the Kor people, who retained their personal emotions, would also burst out a strange psychic impact, which could cause heavy damage to evil gods and demons.
However, due to the "devouring vaccine (Flood)" developed by the radicals, as well as the interference and secret sabotage of the evil god, the Kor people's genetic makeup was severely damaged. Even if the administrators made improvements and "repairs", subsequent reproduction would not be possible. The Kor people who emerged were no longer qualified soldiers. Instead, they were replaced by a group of "orcs" with low IQs who only knew how to fight.
By the middle of the Administrator-Different Space War, the Administrator had to take measures to destroy the Kor Orcs because they were becoming increasingly out of control and unable to execute orders efficiently.
In the end, only a few spores remained, placed in the surface soil of a few shield worlds as a passive defense mechanism. "
“…”
After listening to the words of the storage body, the father and son at the "scene" fell into silence for a while.
In fact, Sui Bian, including his original sons, had already guessed that the green-skinned orcs were most likely a biological weapon created by the administrators when they learned that the green-skinned empire came from a shield world.
Without gender, they are "born" to make and use weapons, and can release psychic energy that can affect different dimensions. These characteristics indicate that these green skins are excellent weapons.
As for Sui Bian, it is certain that the orcs in the main universe are not the same as the green skins in "Warhammer 40k", and have nothing to do with the "Old Saints" clan who created the green skins.
After a moment of silence, Sui Bian continued to ask: "Since it is a passive defense mechanism, then I want to know what exactly caused the proliferation of Kor orcs this time."
"Yes." The storage body responded immediately: "The emerging race Taipu people once bombed the surface of Shield World 003 and tried to enter the interior of Shield World 003. Therefore, I launched a devastating counterattack against the Taipu people at that time.
However, the bombing of the Titanium people inadvertently awakened the Kor orcs buried deep in the soil. Moreover, due to the long burial time and the destruction of the administrator's civilization, the Kor orcs without restrictive measures overflowed. disaster. "
"This Tipu race really deserves to be beaten."
Knowing that it was the Taipu people who caused the trouble again, Leon, who had a bad temper to begin with, couldn't help but say something.
"Yes." All the brothers nodded in agreement.
These blue-skinned, noseless things are not very capable, but they like to cause trouble everywhere, which really makes the Primarch extremely unhappy.
As for their father, Sui Bian had a normal attitude. After all, everything had happened, so he asked again: "Do you have any information about the Kor people or the Kor orcs?"
"Possessing incomplete data," the storage body replied.
"Very good." Sui Bian asked: "What kind of technology can you provide us humans?"
"In my database, I have complete nano-biotechnology, biological exoskeleton technology, and Ark and Halo construction technology." The storage body still responded expressionlessly.
?
Sui Bian's expression froze.
? !
The Primarchs looked surprised at first, then excited.
I thought I was just "stealing" a shield world for my father, but I never thought that the construction technology of the Ark and Halo was actually "successfully" given to me!
With the halo, this means that mankind has one of the ultimate weapons in the "ceiling" ranks, which can target a single race, and can also implement true extermination against all living things.
Moreover, the halo is enough to make other dimensions despair.
Forty years ago, when Sui Bian learned about the past war between the Manager and the evil god from another space, and then learned that the Manager had halo technology that was more advanced than the Forerunners, he considered a plan that was absolutely "reliable"...
That is to obtain Ark and Halo technology, invest all resources in their construction, build a sufficient number of shield worlds, and then transmit Ark and Halo to the entire galaxy and even the entire universe, and then exterminate all races except humans.
As a result, there will only be humans in the universe who have been injected with "vaccination" and are relatively isolated from other spaces. And evil gods and demons lack the "food" provided by other races in terms of emotions, emotions, desires, etc., so what awaits them? There is only destruction.
Just like 60 million years ago, the administrator opened the halo matrix and made the sea of souls in the alien space calm for tens of millions of years. It was not until life flourished again and various races spread across the galaxy that evil gods and demons returned again.
Unlike the managers, Sui Bian can choose to "regularly unify" and open the halo matrix every 20 million or 30 million years to curb the number of races. In this way, the sea of souls will no longer breed evil gods and demons. hotbed.
How nice.
but…
This move seemed a little extreme, and at that time, the Sangheili and the Marles had not yet been integrated into human society. Moreover, with Sui Bian in the physical universe now, the other side of the space did not dare to start a war at will. In a short time There is no need for a halo to exterminate everything.
But the ark and the halo must be built. After all, having a sword and not using it are completely different things.
"good."
Relaxing his mind, Sui Bian did not make any further comments. He just said "not bad" and then ordered the original bodies: "The expedition is not over yet. Children, continue to sterilize and burn all the planets invaded by the green skins." , and then transfer the shield world to the solar system after the sterilization operation is completed."
"Yes, Father," the Primarchs responded in unison.
"Well, let's go get busy."
"yes!"
As soon as the words fell, the holographic projection dissipated, returning the office to its original state.
The red and white queens standing in front of the desk also carefully removed the shading of the floor-to-ceiling windows, allowing the midday sunlight outside the windows to shine into the office and also shine on Sui Bian's body.
"Chairman, do you need to summon the company's senior researchers now?" Bai Hou asked proactively.
"No, Robert and the others need that storage body to control the shield world. It won't be too late to call in the researchers after the expedition is over." Sui Bian turned around the desk, sat back on the office chair, and asked his two secretaries:
"I would like to know whether you two have the confidence to completely take over control from the storage body and make the Shield World completely the property of us humans."
"Of course." Empress Bai raised her chin lightly without thinking, her tone also rising slightly.
"No problem." The Red Queen was not like her "sister", but was as indifferent as ever.
"That's good." Sui Bian smiled slightly and said: "Help me inform Ferus and ask him to postpone the construction of his home world and wait for subsequent improvements."
"It is good)."
As for Shield World 003…
Since it was a gift prepared by his sons for his "old" father, Sui Bian naturally had no reason to refuse. Besides, it was time for him to change to a "flagship".
