I, Superman, the Supreme Commander

Chapter 227: The Final Choice

With the addition of powerful Necron warships, the situation on the battlefield suddenly reversed and the advantage came to the human side.

One Chaos warship after another was blown apart by the powerful fire bombardment, and the warships and tens of thousands of Chaos troops became dust fragments in space.

The planet killer, who had been so arrogant just now, was completely unable to fight back under the attack of the Necron warship.

It's like a clumsy big guy being teased by a nimble assassin and getting beaten up in all kinds of ways, with all his brute force but unable to hit the opponent.

Even the flagship of the Planet Killer, which was blessed by the Chaos Gods, could not withstand the continuous attacks of the Necromancer warships and let out a mournful cry of disintegration.

Seeing that it was impossible to save the situation, the commander-in-chief of the Chaos Fleet reluctantly issued a retreat order.

With the Warp's empty flickering sound, the Planet Killer and the remaining thirty or so Chaos warships escaped into the Warp, completely withdrawing from the battlefield.

The flames in space gradually subsided, leaving only a dozen damaged human warships and the wreckage of countless warships floating in the silent universe.

But the human warriors did not relax their nerves and still kept a vigilant eye on the Necron alien warship, ready to continue fighting at any time.

On the command deck of the Fire Phoenix, a green light curtain emerged from the void in front of Chapter Captain Nerva and others.

"Human, I am Hatas, Lord of the Ulanska Dynasty. I am impressed by your courage in battle."

The alien creature with a humanoid metal body on the screen spoke in a hoarse electronic voice with an indifferent tone. The slender metal body covered with grooves exuded a green glow, giving people the feeling of a living metal skeleton.

Chapter Master Nerva said in a deep voice: "Alien, what do you want?"

"I came here to investigate something. A few months ago, three stars in this galaxy underwent incredible changes and merged into a new star. This happened shortly after you came to this galaxy... As far as I know, some interesting things have happened in this galaxy..."

"As the supreme ruler here, perhaps you can provide me with some useful information..."

The Necron Lord's pair of green-glowing electronic eyes stared at the chapter leader through the screen.

The Chapter Master said with a straight face: "Sorry, we don't know what's going on here. Please go back. And please leave the human territory immediately!"

"Haha, humans who don't know what gratitude and fear are."

"You've been hiding something from me until now, and you don't know how to appreciate my kindness."

"You should know that the place where you are standing was our territory 60 million years ago. You are just a group of thieves who arrived late!"

"Barbarians! Fools!"

"It seems that I can only teach you the truth of the galaxy by force."

The Necromancer said in a hostile tone: "I declare that from today on, the Ulanska Dynasty will officially take back the territory here."

"According to the tradition of my clan, you have one year to prepare for war."

"But do not even think about escaping, human. I will continue to monitor you."

After the Necron Lord finished his cold threat, countless regular hexagonal light films appeared around the Necron warship and quickly covered the hull.

Finally, a green light flashed, and the Undead warship was wrapped in a film of light and disappeared directly into the void.

【The enemy ship's signal disappears.】

【No subspace jump reaction detected.】

The divination supervisor sent a report.

Chapter Master Nerva was in a heavy mood. They had just escaped from the wolf's den and were now in the tiger's mouth.

Although the enemy only had one warship, Nerva had no confidence in defeating the enemy. Judging from the performance of the enemy's warships in previous battles, no matter the firepower, defense, or maneuverability, they all crushed the imperial warships, and their technological level was obviously much higher.

The gap in hard power brought about by this technological gap can only be made up with a large number of lives. Even that cannot be made up...

And Nerva was not naive enough to think that the other side only had one warship.

As for the one year...it is true that the Necrons have this tradition and will issue a war notice in advance before attacking a planet.

"What's the situation like on the other two hive worlds?"

"Not good. Most of the nests have been lost, and there are still hundreds of millions of demon troops left on the planet."

Although the Black Legion retreated, the demon army they summoned through the Chaos Ritual is still wreaking havoc in the Hades galaxy.

Not to mention Persephone, tens of billions of people have been almost completely massacred. Except for the tens of millions of rebels in the Supreme Hive, the rest of the survivors have all become captives of the demons.

In the two worlds of Hecate and Melinoe, the human resistance has been almost wiped out, and billions of humans have fallen into the hands of demons. It is only a matter of time before they are completely destroyed.

What's even more terrible is that with the war and the bloody killings and blasphemous sacrificial rituals of the Chaos demons, the subspace energy in the Hades galaxy has become increasingly vigorous and powerful, and the subspace storm group in space has expanded to a diameter of tens of thousands of kilometers.

Moreover, the shape has been distorted. The clouds have turned into giant tentacles made of purple light, swaying like a living thing, and the tentacles have monster-like fangs and big mouths.

This is a sign that the Warp is encroaching on the physical universe, and in the near future - a few months or years - this galaxy will be swallowed up by the Warp.

Chapter Master Nerva gathered everyone together and said to the commanders with a serious expression: "Everyone, we have no choice but to implement the extermination order."

"Seconded."

"Seconded."

The top leaders of the Ash Claws Chapter quickly reached a consensus.

The Chapter Master ordered each fleet to immediately clean up the space battlefield, recover the bodies of the fallen Space Marines (especially the gene seeds on the bodies), and important supplies.

At the same time, a large number of shuttles were dispatched to various planets to recover important technologies and technicians, and to pick up the surviving soldiers of the Second Company of the Ash Claws on Persephone.

When the Ash Claw recovery force arrived at Persephone's High Hive, the battle there was actually nearing its end.

Under the leadership of Kratos and the Angel of Vengeance, the two high-end fighters, all the high-level demons were killed. The remaining demons became a mess without their commanders, and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.

Under the command of Julius' four Astartes veterans, the human resistance army worked closely together, readjusted their defenses, efficiently eliminated the enemy, and stabilized the situation.

As a fleet of shuttles descended from the sky, light spear orbital strikes and fighter bombings landed precisely in the middle of the demon army, destroying it in large sections, and the demon army was soon completely wiped out.

"Sith!"

Julius laughed. "Good to see you, old friends."

"Julius, you are a very lucky boy."

The first company commander, Sis, said jokingly. The two company commanders have been friends for thousands of years, and the first company commander is the senior of the second company commander.

The Ash Claws were responsible for the evacuation and recovery of Persephone.

After the greetings, Sith asked seriously, "Where is the Great Sage?"

The Chapter Master heard that Persephone had a master of the Adeptus Mechanicus with outstanding technical capabilities, and he specifically emphasized to the Sith that this person must be brought back, as the Ash Claws were in great need of such talents.

Julius took him to a room in the spire area.

On the hospital bed, there lay a young man without any limbs, thin and haggard. His face was tired, but his eyes were still kind, like two clear flames.

He was wearing a mechanical suit, supported by three pairs of mechanical feet to move, and operated by six pairs of mechanical tentacles behind his back that acted as arms. He had a golden hoop on his forehead, and seemed to have the ability to remotely control the machine with his consciousness.

When the two arrived, the young man was busy preparing medicine in the hall.

"Great Sage, this is Sith, the captain of the first company of the Ash Claws."

Julius introduced.

Unexpectedly, the great sage ignored the two and continued to busy himself.
