Chapter 13: Alien Biological Constructs
The Lord of Watch is the supreme commander of the fortress. Becoming the Lord of Watch means that they can no longer return to their original regiment. They will fight to annihilate the aliens for the rest of their lives.
The purpose of this is to keep the Lord of Watch's experience of fighting aliens for hundreds of years in the Death Watch regiment, so that the skills of hunting aliens will not be lost because the Astartes return to their original regiment.
The Lord of Watch, Viernus, is an experienced alien hunter. The tall Viernus is not wearing a helmet at this moment. His gray-white face is angular, dotted with pale short hair and beard. The thin scar on his face runs through his right eye, like a cable extending from a red electronic prosthetic eye.
"God Emperor, thank you Master Taiyue for coming to support us!"
Viernus walked forward, his face expressionless, like a machine that kills aliens.
After Taiyue and the other party saluted each other, he introduced Brother Jerome and Sage Dela beside him.
"I previously sent a killing team to secretly sneak into the jungle world of Ziapriya to investigate the reason why the Tiamat Hive Fleet was stationed on this planet. These images are the intelligence sent back by the killing team before they were completely wiped out."
While speaking, Viernus activated the projection of the command room and displayed the previously detected psychic lighthouse images in the air. All the images were recorded by the auspicious instrument on the shoulders of the Death Watch:
The killing team walked on the bare rock surface. There was only a towering gray-white mountain in front of them. The structure of the mountain range looked like a standard cone from a distance, and there were countless huge protruding spike structures.
"God bless, the mountain ahead is like alive!"
The Death Watch walking in the front expressed his doubts.
"I can feel a strong psychic fluctuation in the mountain ahead!"
The think tank of the killing team on the side added.
"Keep going. After we figure out if there are any Tyranids on the planet's surface, we'll leave this damn place!"
After the owner of the auspicious instrument finished speaking, the killing team continued to move forward. After an unknown amount of time, the killing team finally reached the circular ocean outside the unknown mountains.
They finally discovered that the unknown mountains were biological structures made of flesh and blood. The circular ocean was actually a huge digestive pool, and the biomass in it was transported to the continuously extending biological structures through giant capillaries.
The outside of the biological structure was a gray-white chitinous carapace like armor. The protruding spikes of each carapace had a ridge-like structure. Through the cracks between the carapaces, you could see the flesh and brain wrapped inside.
Suddenly, the biological structure began to tremble, and the gushing psychic tsunami instantly engulfed the entire planet.
The skull of the think tank of the killing team was directly cracked, and his soul was wiped out before he could warn. He plunged into the circular ocean and then sank to the bottom of the sea.
The Tiamat Hive Fleet in orbit also discovered the invaders, and the spore airdrop capsules that covered the sky and the sun quickly filled the area where the Killing Team was located. The content of the video ended here.
"The Killing Team uploaded the video content to the spacecraft in orbit at the last minute, and the spacecraft that automatically returned successfully brought back this information."
Viernus finally added.
"Will the Killing Ship be sent to destroy the planet Ziapria in the future?"
Tai Yue asked.
"After that, the enemy strengthened its vigilance. Any spacecraft approaching the planet Ziapria will be attacked by the Hive Fleet. Even the Killing Ship's stealth ability cannot break through. We have lost the opportunity to destroy the alien biological construct."
Viernus sighed. If the extermination order was executed when he first went to the planet Ziapria, the alien biological construct would not be left until now.
Tai Yue fell into deep thought after hearing this. It seems that the Tiamat Hive Fleet is now divided into two fleets. One fleet is going to the surrounding star systems to plunder biomass, and the other fleet is defending the biological structure on the planet Ziapria. The two fleets are likely to support each other.
"We have also reported this matter to the Alien Inquisition, but it has not attracted attention. Inquisitor Kliptman came here after learning the news. I communicated with him face to face. Regardless of whether this biological structure is a beacon to guide other Hive Fleets, it must be destroyed as soon as possible!"
Viernus' eyes sank. For this goal, he was determined to dispatch all the troops in the Hartmoth Watch Fortress.
