A sorcerer? I am a Warhammer psyker.

Thus, weapons capable of executing an entire planet have begun to be propelled by robotic arms onto missile transport vehicles.

Kenmei Isayama's tense nerves finally relaxed after he saw the gates of the Imperial Twin Eagles' ammunition depot locked again after the loading and unloading was completed.

Because the armory here also stores another extremely dangerous weapon. Even the slightest leak, down to the last millisecond, would kill the entire Black Ship, including all of Kenmei Isayama's crew. It contains a special viral missile called "The Eater," an incredibly terrifying biological weapon capable of wiping out all life on a planet, including deep-sea creatures, in just one minute.

As Kenmei Isayama stepped out of the gate, he had just brushed the ice crystals off his coat when the communication phone rang from the warship's command center.

"Report, Your Excellency Judge Macanos, the radar has detected an unusually high number of engine signals."

Inside the warship's command center, the communications officer shouted loudly.

"I'll be there soon."

Kenmei Isayama arrived at the ship's command center and took his seat in the captain's position. In front of him was a giant electronic holographic screen, nearly fifty meters long, which was a plan view of the entire Andrea system, basically covering every planet in the screen.

In particular, the planet that had been ordered to be extinct was marked directly, and at this moment, an astonishing number of red dots around the planet completely covered it, scattered like stars.

These countless red, flashing dots, each punctuation mark representing a warship.

Their numbers were about five times that of the Tribunal's Black Ship fleet, and they surrounded the Demon Hunter, where Kenmei Isayama was, with overwhelming numbers.

"It's finally here."

In the silent, dark universe, a spatial light curtain began to distort, rippled with purple water-like patterns, but this was only the beginning. Soon, more and more distortions began to spread densely throughout the area.

When the spatial distortion reached its limit, the first magnificent steel behemoth leaped out of the warp, forcibly tearing apart the sea of ​​souls in the warp. The resulting tidal wave crashed against the warship's purple "Geller Field" shield with a hissing sound, and the massive hull spewed out a bright, long tail flame.

The early standard-type ship's bow was covered with heavy armor, and the sides of the hull were neatly arranged with terrifyingly powerful weapon turrets and missile pods. The super-giant warship, nearly twelve kilometers long, had the imperial flag of the golden eagle flashing. This was an Imperial-class battleship weighing 60 megatons, a symbol of the pride of the Imperial Navy.

The ship's spine is equipped with light spear weapons, and there is a huge golden statue on the bridge with a huge church-like building behind it.

As this massive battleship appeared, countless warships bearing the Imperial Skyhawk banners instantly leaped from the warp into the real world from the clearly rippled light walls beside it, their flashing teleportation beams illuminating the universe.

Each one is a mainstay warship of the human empire's navy, including the Cobra-class destroyer, the new star-class frigate, the Storm-class frigate, and so on.

Warships typically feature church-like structures, serving as shrines to the Emperor. Only under the dual protection of the Geller Stance and the Emperor can the warships of the Imperial Navy navigate the Warp; Warp demons that enter the church's domain are instantly annihilated.

Therefore, the claim that an imperial cathedral was built on an imperial warship is incorrect. (X)

It should be described as an imperial cathedral, with propellers and battleships mounted underneath. ( )

Ironically, all these warships now appearing under this starry sky are not preparing to fight and fire bullets at the Empire's most ferocious enemy, but rather to destroy a homeworld belonging to the Empire.

Kenmei Isayama's command center received a signal from the Imperial-class destroyer.

"This is the Victory Dawn of the 10th Fleet of the Imperial Navy - the Barca Fleet. I am Captain Admiral Sharif Ismail."

Soon, a blond, aloof man with a hooked nose appeared on the screen. He was wearing the uniform of an Imperial Navy admiral, and his chest was covered with medals for his distinguished military achievements.

"Identity verification completed in the Imperial database."

Upon hearing this, Kenmei Isayama spoke in a slightly gentler tone.

"This is Judge Macanos, welcome."

Meanwhile, the admiral was also observing the young judge. Who would have thought that this greenhorn was actually on the same level as him, who could command a theater fleet?

And they were even staring at him like he was a prisoner; the people in the courtroom were all crazy.

"Then, in accordance with orders from higher command, the Baka Fleet will cooperate with our Inquisition's Black Ship Fleet to carry out an extermination order against SPO Homeworld II."

"Everything is for the Emperor."

The judge's icy tone sent a chill down the spines of all of Admiral Sharif's crew. At the same time, the message was broadcast to the entire Baka fleet, a broadcast to the entire force.

Chapter 104 The Extermination Order is Activated!

(3.4k)

The orbit around SPO II homeworld planet is now completely covered by countless Imperial Navy warships, and the basic strategic deployment has been completed.

Now, no matter where you are on this planet, if you look up, you will find at least one massive fleet that is large enough to blot out the sun in the sky.

"Lord Macanos, is it truly beyond redemption?"

The screen in front of Kenmei Isayama showed a middle-aged man on the verge of tears, his face ashen despite being in an extremely luxurious room.

“I still have three million Star Guardians here, and two billion civilians are still alive.”

The middle-aged man was almost kneeling down, pleading in his voice.

Anyone facing this situation would be driven to despair and madness, because not only is he on a planet about to be exterminated, but he is also the only one who knows that this planet has been identified as being on the opposite side of the Empire.

All communications on SPO Planet 2 were blocked as soon as the advance team of the Inquisition arrived.

They finally received a response from the Empire, only to be informed that the entire planet had been abandoned by the Empire and that an extermination order was about to be issued against their home world.

Even the authority to launch anti-aircraft weapons was locked by the experts of the Mechanicus, turning it into a pile of scrap metal.

This was to prevent the remaining troops from mutinying. After all, to prevent the Chaos Fleet from invading the homeworld, they were generally equipped with quite sophisticated anti-air weapons, and even an attack by the Imperial Navy would result in heavy losses.

"Governor Speyer, I am very sorry for what happened to you."

The middle-aged man in front of me is the planetary governor of this SPO II homeworld. Due to the planetary blockade, even a high-ranking official of the empire cannot leave the planet.

"This is a necessary sacrifice for the Emperor."

Even if there are billions of innocent civilians on this planet, their fate was already sealed the moment the extermination order was signed.

Moreover, the fact that these people are alive does not mean they are not infected with the plague, it just means that there has been no outbreak. Even if only a very small number of the 2.5 billion survivors are infected with the plague, they must still be wiped out.

Kenmei Isayama indicated that he could not help, as the extermination order was signed by a higher-ranking member of the Tribunal. He would make this call merely as a routine procedure before the extermination order was issued, to inform the planet's supreme ruler and offer his final regards.

Moreover, the fact that this planet has developed to this point is quite related to the rule of its administrators.

The plague outbreak on this planet was caused by heretics who worshipped the "Lord of Plague" and held a forbidden sacrificial ceremony in a metropolis with a population of hundreds of millions. This attracted the attention of the evil god "Nurgle," which led to such terrible consequences.

Sixty-five percent of life perished during the first wave of the plague, and their corpses were even corrupted by the power of the Chaos God, turning them into monsters that spread the plague. This was due to the planet's management's inadequate oversight.

The Inquisition's duty is to execute heretics among humanity, but the Empire's territory is unimaginably vast. If the Inquisition's personnel were scattered throughout the galaxy, there might not be a single Inquisitor in hundreds of star systems.

This universe is so hopeless. From the moment Horus launched his rebellion and the critically wounded emperor sat on the golden throne, humanity had no hope left.

All the armed forces—Astartes, the Inquisition, the Astral Army, the Imperial Navy, the Battle Sisters, the Custodian Army, and so on—were as desperate as white blood cells in the body of a terminally ill cancer patient, doing nothing but prolonging the life of the Empire as much as possible.

The extermination order is chemotherapy, which kills all cells, whether they are healthy, white blood cells, or cancer cells.

"Governor Speyer, do you have any other questions?"

After seeing him shake his head, Kenmei Isayama said one last thing and ended the call.

"Thank you for your continued contributions to the Empire."

Kenmei Isayama turned to look at Admiral Sharif Ismail, the commander of the Baka fleet, who had arrived at the "Demon Hunter".

Elena immediately took out two suitcases and placed them in front of the two of them.

This is for

To prevent warship captains from disobeying orders that were essentially tantamount to "indiscriminate massacres."

Therefore, the safety switches for all the cannons of all the fleets, including the Baka fleet, were now concentrated on these two briefcases.

There were a total of ninety warships, with Admirals Kaisan Kenmei and Sharif each commanding forty-five warships.

"General Sharif, you and I will count down for ten seconds in a moment."

Kenmei Isayama opened the lid of his briefcase, which contained only a simple slot. He inserted his insignia, a symbol of his identity as a judge, and with a simple twist, he could decide the life or death of 2.5 billion people on this planet.

"General Sharif?"

Kenmei Isayama removed the Type I Judge badge from his chest, only to find that the general was still lost in thought.

"Oh, sorry."

Sharif was staring blankly at the planetary data on the screen in front of him. The blood-red areas were modules of destruction and death, and only 10% of the planet was not covered by red, which was also where the most civilians were.

So not only the main guns of his Dawn of Victory, but also the main guns of Judge Macanos's Demon Hunter were aimed at that spot.

Opening fire will inevitably lead to widespread death and destruction.

This was an unprecedented experience for Sharif during his long military career. He had risen to this position from a civilian background, and his purpose in joining the army was simple: to protect his country.

"Lord Macanos, don't you have even the slightest hesitation?"

To this, Kenmei Isayama simply replied with a cold tone.

"This is all for the Emperor."

He was just an ordinary judge, and with the extermination order already in effect, only if Kenmei Isayama was imitating the Imperial Regent Guilliman could this tragedy be prevented.

All Kenmei Isayama could do was use the most powerful weapons to ensure these people passed away peacefully and without pain.

This simulation was the most terrifying one Kenmei Isayama had ever done so far.

Unlike the cheerful orcs, the empire is filled with ruthless commands and suffocating despair.

A thin piece of paper can control billions, even tens of billions of lives. Even someone as powerful as Kenmei Isayama's mentor, Ahriman, could not defy fate. The homeland of the Thousand Sons Legion was completely destroyed by an order equivalent to an "extermination order."

He even had a question: Was the Empire truly on the side of justice?

Do other races in the galaxy view the Emperor and his imperial power in a similar way to the Four Chaos Gods?

"For the Emperor..."

This perfectly matches the courtroom's response.

Admiral Sharif sighed, took out the badge symbolizing his status as the supreme commander of the Imperial Navy's Baka Fleet, and opened the briefcase in front of him.

When Kenmei Isayama and he simultaneously opened the top safety cover, the sharp bows of all the warships surrounding SPO II opened like a sharp blade, revealing the main guns inside. At the same time, the covers of the missile pods and light spears also opened, revealing the terrifying warheads inside.

"Three, two, one."

Kenmei Isayama and Sharif, each holding a symbol of their respective identities, turned on the switch in front of them together.

After a crisp, pleasant, slight click of the trigger being pulled from inside the suitcase, the sky above SPO Planet 2 seemed to boil over in an instant.

Basically, all 2.5 billion civilians were unaware of what was happening; they simply noticed that many warships had appeared in the sky, blotting out the sun, and then the entire sky brightened.

"Mom, I'm afraid."

A mother hugged her anxious and frightened child tightly, and she said gently...

"Don't be afraid, child, the Emperor will protect us."

Only when Governor Spyr of Planet SPO2 walked out of the administration building and looked at the sky above illuminated by firelight did he know that the extermination order had been issued.
