Chapter 192 Sacrifice is the cornerstone of the empire

The Overlord-class battlecruiser of the Imperial Navy is a battleship designed by the Adeptus Mechanicus on the basis of the Yellow Springs-class heavy cruiser. It aims to have the long-range strike capability and powerful firepower of a battleship in a cruiser-sized hull.

The entire ship still uses a simple but reliable and effective weapon combination of macro cannons, light spears and torpedoes, without wasting space on a huge attack aircraft hangar or a moody Nova Cannon.

In addition, it is also equipped with a powerful void shield and close-defense artillery group, which can better resist incoming firepower and enemy attack aircraft.

Although the Overlord-class is generally considered to be a low-end beggar version of the Retribution-class battleship, facts have proven that it is still a powerful battleship.

Not only can it compete with ships of similar tonnage, but it can even win with its longer range and thicker armor.

This battleship was selected by Rear Admiral Hipper of the Imperial Navy, and was then named Prinz Eugen.

The subordinate squadron of the Empire's 3rd Fleet to which he belongs has enough firepower to frighten many enemy warships.

"How is the situation? Have the Space Marines withdrawn?"

Hipper looked at his watch, and then looked out the window at Jerusalem. The black nest was particularly conspicuous on the sandy yellow surface of Jerusalem.

"Let the attacking mortal auxiliaries retreat and prepare the small cyclone torpedoes and ground-attack spears for launch."

Hipper stood on the console, waiting for the next information.

"The 358th Light Chaser Brigade has withdrawn to a safe location!"

"The Lunn Family Guards have withdrawn to a safe location!"

"The First Odisius Commando Regiment has withdrawn to a safe location!"

"The new planetary defense forces have been withdrawn to a safe location!"

"The Space Marine Kill Team has been withdrawn to a safe location! The void shield has been destroyed! The drop mission can be carried out!"

Hipper, who was waiting, heard the voice of the Space Marines, and then took the communicator to make the next battle deployment.

"Attention all personnel! I am the captain of the Overlord-class battlecruiser Prinz Eugen! Now start broadcasting orders! Prepare to bomb the Koch Hive! The light spear enters the charging stage! All priests begin to enter their positions to pray! All personnel stay at their posts!"

"I know! Many of you are new recruits! You have no experience of throwing light spears at your own city!"

"But let me tell you! This hive has been occupied! The empire needs to pay a heavier price to capture it! We must bomb this hive!"

"After calculation! If we want to capture this hive, it may cost hundreds of times, but the empire's frontline does not allow us to do so, everyone! Sacrifice is the cornerstone of the empire! Without sacrifice, how can the empire continue! Without sacrifice It’s too big to accept! No betrayal is small enough to be forgiven!”

"We will blow up millions of Empire citizens! Our hands will be stained with blood! But! For the continuation of the Empire! We must do it!"

"This is what we mean! Sacrifice! Dedication! In exchange for the road to human survival!"

Hipper's voice spread throughout the battleship, and every crew member heard Hipper's sonorous and powerful voice. They knew the significance of what they were doing, and they understood that what they were doing was necessary for the empire. evil.

For the continuation of the race, everything can be sacrificed, whether it is you or me.

"Start charging!"

Dozens of crew members began to operate, and under the operation of countless people, the anti-ground light spear was aimed at the high tower in the center of the ground hive.

"start!"

The golden spear of light streaked across the sky, and terrifying energy surged toward the ground.

"There are still 10 seconds until the attack arrives!"

"5 seconds!"

The light spear shone in the sky of the hive city, and then hit the high tower in the middle of the hive city. The terrifying energy melted the tower in the blink of an eye, and the energy spread to the surroundings.

"Soldiers! Don't think too much! This hive has been occupied by heretics! Remember! The sacrifices of these Imperial citizens! Those dirty aliens and despicable heretics will all pay the price!"

Hipper's voice continued to ring, and then poured into the soldiers' ears.

The power of the light spear began to devour the hive. The upper hive at the top was destroyed first. Countless rebel high-ranking officials were reduced to ashes along with the buildings, followed by the middle hive.

The terrifying shock wave uprooted the buildings in the middle nest, and then blew these hundreds of thousands of tons of buildings away. Countless small buildings were even destroyed in an instant.

The rebels and the civilians of the hive were reduced to ashes in the flames. Their sacrifice was worth it. After this operation, there will be a massive cleanup plan, and millions of traitors will be buried with them.

The entire hive was enveloped by the energy emitted by the light spear, and the Imperial citizens and rebels were reduced to ashes. These rebel leaders could not even imagine that the Imperial army had really bombed the hive, and really blown them and millions of civilians into pieces. broken into pieces.

"Block the news here and declare it to the outside world as the work of aliens and rebels."

After Hipper gave the next order, he chose to go home.
