Warhammer: From the Devouring C'tan Fragments

When the Imperial Combined Fleet entered the Manda Galaxy, the entire galaxy seemed to be shrouded in a thick haze.

On the planet Manda, the defense soldiers stationed there quickly took action under the orderly deployment of Andrada - they were organizing civilians to move to underground bunkers in a tense and orderly manner to avoid the brutal war that was about to break out.

"Reporting to Captain Doc! We're having some trouble. Some civilians are unwilling to seek refuge in the underground bunker, and even more unwilling to follow the main force out of the surface, insisting on staying where they are."

A company commander who was in charge of commanding the defense soldiers to evacuate civilians walked up to Doc with a serious expression and reported to him the news he had just received from the soldiers below.

Upon hearing this, Captain Doke frowned slightly, a look of surprise on his face. "What? How could such a situation actually happen? In such a dire situation, someone actually dared to ignore the threat of war and insisted on staying here?"

The company commander nodded and said firmly, "Yes, Commander. These people are determined. No matter how we persuade them, they just won't leave."

Captain Doke was silent for a moment, then gently stroked his chin, lost in thought. After a moment, he asked again, "So, have you figured out the identities of these people?"

"Find out, these people used to be nobles and merchants in this world." The company commander quickly sent the collected information to Doc.

After the Star Army captured the planet, many nobles and merchants saw that the situation was not good and chose to surrender instead of resisting. These people were lucky enough to survive.

Moreover, the Star Army had just recaptured the planet, and these nobles and merchants surrendered voluntarily. As long as they had not violated the law, it would be difficult to cause trouble for these people even if they wanted to.

If you want a planet to be peaceful and stable, you need to make your position clear. Governing a planet requires not only strong power but also fair legal support.

Since these nobles and merchants chose to surrender voluntarily, if they continued to cause trouble for these people, it would only cause more civilians to feel fear, which would be detrimental to the stability of the planet. This also allowed these nobles and merchants to escape.

Doc sat at the table, carefully reviewing the information the company commander had sent him about those people. After reading the information, a disdainful smile gradually appeared on the corner of Doc's mouth, followed by a contemptuous sneer:

"Humph! It seems that under our strong governance, these guys have finally realized that the power and wealth they once possessed are now useless and are no different from ordinary people.

It is understandable that he is dissatisfied with the current situation. As soon as he heard that the pseudo-emperor's lackeys were attacking, he couldn't wait to stay and help those lackeys.

They hope that once the false emperor's lackeys regain control of the world, they can once again enjoy the feeling of having the power of life and death in their hands."

The company commander standing nearby listened to Doc's words, and his originally calm eyes instantly turned fierce. He clenched his fists tightly and said with gritted teeth:

"Captain Doc, in my opinion, we should just get rid of all these people! To avoid any future troubles."

This captain had been a slave who had been oppressed in the past, and he hated the nobles and merchants with a deep hatred. Hearing Captain Doc's words, he naturally wanted to exterminate them.

"No." Doc waved his hand, rejecting the captain's idea without hesitation.

"Inform everyone. Anyone who doesn't want to evacuate with us can be ignored and left to fend for themselves."

"Yes!" Although the company commander was somewhat reluctant, he still chose to resolutely execute the order given by Captain Doc.

…………

Five massive and majestic Imperial cruisers, loaded with fearless Astra Militarum soldiers, swooped down on Manda at lightning speed. They were like five bolts of lightning piercing the dark void, each emitting a chilling aura.

Next to these five Imperial cruisers, there was a strike cruiser belonging to the Flesh Tearers Chapter flying closely behind them.

This strike cruiser has a ferocious shape, and its hull is covered with various weapons and equipment. It is like a ferocious beast, ready to open its bloody mouth and devour the enemy at any time.

At this time, a company commander of the defense force stationed at the Manda planet's spaceport saw the six cruisers rushing towards them from afar through the porthole, and his face instantly became solemn.

He held the communicator tightly in his hand and gave orders to all the defenders in a low and firm voice:

"Everyone, attention! Launch an attack immediately. We must not let these pseudo-emperor's lackeys' warships get even a step closer to our spaceport!"

"Yes!" A uniform response came from the communication channel.

After receiving the order, the defense soldiers took quick action. They were distributed in every corner of the spaceport and skillfully operated those powerful weapon systems.

At the same time, teams of combat robots also joined the defense array with mechanical steps, fighting side by side with human soldiers.

Soon, all kinds of high-powered weapons such as macro cannons, light spears, plasma fortress cannons, etc. that had been silent on the spaceport woke up one after another.

Accompanied by a deafening roar, dense beams of energy like rain gushed out from the spaceport, like countless snarling fire dragons, sweeping straight towards the six rapidly approaching cruisers.

In an instant, the entire spaceport was illuminated by these dazzling lights, forming a colorful yet thrilling picture.

The six-ship fleet of the Empire's cruisers, facing the attacks coming from the spaceport, relied on the void shields on board the cruisers for defense, and rushed forward towards the spaceport despite the fierce attacks from the spaceport.

The six Imperial cruisers faced the attack from the spaceport, and various artillery pieces quickly launched an attack towards the spaceport. In a short period of time, the massive energy attack launched by both sides illuminated half of the starry sky.

The dense firepower output from the spaceport put the void shield engines of the six cruisers, which were constantly suffering damage, in danger of overloading.

The firepower launched from the spaceport was extremely fierce. For a moment, the six suppressed Imperial cruisers could not get close at all and could only choose to bombard the spaceport from a distance.

"Captain Spike, continuing this bombardment is not good for us. We won't be able to quickly break the deadlock and relieve the pressure on the fleet."

The company chaplain of the 5th Company of the Flesh Tearers looked at the scene of the two sides fighting each other in front of them and said to Spike helplessly.
