Warhammer: From the Devouring C'tan Fragments

Under the attack of the three armies under the command of the art students, a large number of cities in the bottom nest and residential areas under the radiation of major cities were captured. The garrison personnel of the defense force took over the management, and for a time the population under the command of the art students increased rapidly.

For the troops under the command of the art student, it was extremely easy to capture a city. After occupying a large number of cities, the population reached more than 30 million.

More than 100,000 gang members and various alien creatures were killed. Under the attack of powerful firepower, the three armies under the command of the art student suffered no casualties.

After capturing a large number of cities in the bottom nest, each city required personnel management, which led to a continuous reduction in combat personnel.

It is very easy to capture a city, but it is extremely troublesome to manage a city.

As the population under his command increases rapidly, various problems will gradually emerge. There are hundreds of thousands of people in a city, and there are wilderness outside the city, where there are also large and small population gathering places.

Within the radius of a city, at least one thousand armed personnel must be stationed there, and administrative personnel are also needed to effectively manage it, otherwise the conquered territory and population will become as chaotic as an empire.

For art students, every piece of territory they conquer requires safe management. Only by safe and effective management can they gain more.

The acquired population can be turned into actual resources. One person can become a civilian, a soldier, a logistics staff, or an administrative staff, allowing the population under his command to grow like a snowball.

In the battleship's bridge, an art student sat lazily on a throne made of fine gold, with several pretty women serving beside him, pouring tea and water for him.

In front of the art students was a huge virtual projection, where several senior managers were present, giving their respective reports.

The few of them didn't pay much attention to the maids standing next to the art student.

"Now that everyone is here, tell us about the problems you've encountered so we can help you solve them."

The art student slumped on the throne and spoke lazily.

"My Lord, our defense forces are severely understaffed. Many cities now require garrisons, and we are no longer able to divide our forces to attack and capture cities."

Anrida reported with his head lowered.

"In that case, let's stop the attack and digest what we've gained first. Take your time. You can't rush this kind of thing."

The art student waved his hand and said with a smile.

The art student himself had been mentally prepared for the information reported by Anrida, and his initial plan was not to completely take over the base nest in one go.

It is easy to conquer territory, but management is a more troublesome thing. Various people were born in the bottom nest under the command of the art student. The longest time they have been taught by Gaia is only ten years. It is impossible for them to learn management all at once. Management work requires accumulation over time.

What's more, there are a large number of alien creatures mixed in with humans in the bottom nest, which also need to be identified and cleaned up one by one.

The art student does not want to be as laissez-faire as the emperor, as long as the people under his command are managed by humans.

Under the whole world, is it not the king's land, and the coast of leading the land is not the king's ministers.

The Bottom Nest is the largest area in the entire hive world. The human population is about one billion, and there are also countless alien creatures and evil god believers in the Bottom Nest.

"My Lord, we now have a large population under our command, and our food and water consumption is enormous. Our previous reserves are insufficient, and we need your help."

Logistics Minister Angele raised the problems he encountered.

"Since there is a shortage of food and water, I will have Gaia increase food and water production to ensure that my men have sufficient supplies."

The art student responded to Angelet's proposal.

"Gaia, increase the extraction of food starch to ensure that the personnel have sufficient food and water."

"My Lord, I will increase the efficiency of extracting food starch."

Gaia's reply echoed in the bridge.

Food starch is extracted by industrial machinery. In the past, the amount of food starch extracted was enough for everyone to eat, but now the population explosion requires increased extraction of food starch.

"My Lord, this is the first time for us, the internal affairs management staff, to officially manage such a large population. We lack experience and need to learn while managing. Therefore, we have held the military personnel back. I apologize."

Administrative Minister Hawgood lowered his head and said apologetically.

"That's fine. Experience can't be rushed. It needs to be learned slowly. No one is born with it. With the help of the defense forces, you're managing a population of tens of millions for the first time, and you haven't caused any trouble yet. That's pretty good."

"Thank you for the praise, my Lord."

Hogood said with a happy expression when he heard the praise from the art student.

Hogood had not expected to receive praise, so he was very happy after receiving recognition from the art students.

"My Lord, we have no problems in the navy."

Navy Captain Mendeleev said calmly.

The navy performed well in the bottom nest this time. There were no problems and no outstanding performances, so Mendeleev was in a good mood.

"My Lord, we Space Marines have a small problem."

After Gray saw that his colleagues had finished reporting on their work, he spoke to the art student somewhat embarrassedly.

"Oh, what problems did you have?"

After hearing Gray's report, the art student immediately became alert and sat straighter on the throne.

The Space Marines are the most important unit to art students, and they have put a lot of effort into genetic enhancement, but they encountered problems in the first battle.

"Our Space Marines are too few in number to fully demonstrate their strength. In some larger battles, we need the help of the Guards to better complete the mission. So we are wondering if we can assign the Guards to our Space Marines."

Gray looked at Andrada carefully before speaking cautiously.

Hearing Gray's words, the other managers looked at Gray in surprise, especially Andreida, who looked at Gray with a weird look.

The other managers were fine, after all, Gray's proposal was only for the defense forces and had nothing to do with them, but Andrada was not in a good mood.

Andrada knew very well that although the Defense Force had a large number of personnel, its overall strength was the weakest among the three armies. The new recruits trained by the Defense Force would be selected first by the Space Marines, then the Navy, and finally the remaining personnel would be incorporated into the Defense Force.

Originally, the mission of the defense force was to assist the corps, but under the planning of the artists, they still accepted the direct command of the artists, and could barely be on par with the Space Marines and the Navy.

If Gray's proposal is passed this time, the status of the defense force will be further lowered, and Andrada is very reluctant.

But Andrada also knew that the final decision was in the hands of the art students, and Andrada could only look at the art students with hope.
