The Great Vortex Zone, Lamptan Galaxy, Lamptan Planet

The attack troops of the 6th War Zone of the Imperial Expeditionary Army have occupied the world for more than a month. Commanded by the White Temple Commander Alash is a unit composed of the Astral Army, the Planetary Guards, and the fanatical jihadists.

Yes, Soshiyan handed these religious "non-combats" to the Sixth War Zone, allowing Arash to make full use of their fanaticism.

This also brought the entire attacking force in the Sixth War Zone to 300 million. Although the sufficient force allowed Alash to quickly submerge the world occupied by heresy using the tactics of the man-sea, it also brought serious logistical problems. In addition, the jihadists from the foreign religion would burn every stronghold and house they saw. Anyone or thing that was related to the Red Pirates would be thrown into the sea of ​​fire by them. On the main planet alone, more than 500 million people were burned to death, so that the entire planet seemed to have turned into a huge crematorium. Charged heretic corpses were crucified everywhere on the earth and on the roads, almost becoming street lights.

As early as the Badab War, Lamptan was a rear important town of the Star Claw Rebels. It was not only an important material and manpower supply point for the rebels, but also the warehouse where Star Claws used to store genetic seeds harvested in the war. The Salamander Chapter's strike force launched a raid from Lamptan, fought with a company of the Minotao Chapter, quickly occupied the world, regained the genetic seeds obtained by Star Claw on the battlefield, and used this as a stronghold to launch an offensive deep in the rebel territory.

Since salamanders are light in their attacks, the main planet of Lamptan has not been damaged too seriously. The local industrial facilities and a small amount of agricultural industries have been preserved, including a population of 10 billion, and there are not many casualties. However, as one of the territory Huron has worked hard to manage, the people here obviously love Badabu's monarch more than imperial bureaucrats. The first time after Huron's re-emerging rise, Lamptan broke out in a large-scale rebellion and soon returned to the hands of his former masters. Huron did not make too many changes to the planet, and even prohibited the Chaos Space Marines from entering the planet, but simply asked them to provide supplies and manpower. Even the managers were selected by the locals themselves or were once loyal to the Star Claws, so many residents of the bottom nest did not even know that their world had rebelled against the empire.

Until the arrival of the imperial army of justice.

For Arash, burning heresy was not a big problem, but the key is that the fanatical jihad army would also burn things used by heresy, and even their residences, which made the expeditionary army almost just a piece of scorched earth, and it was difficult to obtain any effective additional supplies. These people even destroyed factories. Although Arash had repeatedly banned the destruction of facilities, this did not work for religious people at all.

As the Expeditionary Force wasted too much time on the main star of Lamptan, the Red Pirates' defense in other areas of the Lamptan system was also enhanced. The Imperial Navy failed to win a fierce battle, and the two sides temporarily stalemate. Now what Arash needs is not troops, but logistics and naval power.

During this period of stopping, the attacking troops temporarily rested on the planet that had almost turned into scorched earth.

Among them, naturally, Hayes and his comrades also included.

They were lucky enough to avoid the most intense battles, and simply attacked a small stronghold and killed more than a hundred heresies. They might just be farmers, because the place was said to be a stronghold, but in fact it was more like a farm.

And those heretics seemed to have just picked up guns to protect their property and farmland. As for the old people, women and children inside, although they did not fight, they were still handed over to the top as prisoners. As for the fate of these people in the end, Hayes couldn't think of it. Maybe it was just a coolie...

In fact, this was the first time Hayes realized that the so-called "heretic" seemed to live the same life as humans in other worlds and also needed to eat and sleep.

But no matter what, they had at least captured a good place, which was much better than a nest full of corpse stinking and crazy believers, and they seized a lot of food hidden in the cellar.

Unfortunately, they had been eating corpse starch for four months and were not lucky enough to enjoy the fresh fruits and vegetables, because soon the supplies here were requisitioned by their leader to hold a banquet to invite his friends.

The banquet is in the manor's mansion.

Hayes was lucky to be called to the scene because his regiment commander wanted the officers from other regiments to see their regiment's "Little Fortune Star". Of course, everyone was amazed by his thirteen hairs, and then they were sent outside the restaurant to watch the door.

"Come on, everyone have a drink!"

Hearing the noise from the door beside him, Hays stood tall and stood straight like a javelin, but it was just to cover up his hungry belly.

Due to logistical difficulties, the food rations of their ordinary soldiers have been reduced by one-third. Now it is difficult to even eat corpse starch. Everyone has begun to capture wild animals. Unfortunately, there are not many wild animals on this planet to eat, but there are some plants that are difficult to swallow. Therefore, some people have invented the way to eat the plants by mashing them and removing the crude fibers and mixing them with corpse starch into cakes. It is called "Loyalty Cake".

But Hayes was plucked here for a long time today and didn't even eat the loyalty cake. He has been supporting him with his strong willpower.

However, something is constantly trying to defeat him.

With rapid pace, the chefs and servants surrounded by white bibs walked up the stairs with huge plates, and then walked past Hayes one by one. The huge pieces of meat filled with soup, the poultry with crispy skin, brightly colored soup, green vegetables and exquisite baking desserts, each smell like a bomb gun in Astarter's hand, shooting at Hayes' fragile nerves.

"I'm not hungry! I'm not hungry! I'm not hungry!"

Hayes kept hypnotizing himself like this in his heart, but his gusting belly was still a little loose even if he tied the belt to the tightest.

Taking advantage of the last waiter walking in with a plate, Hays glanced into the crack of the door.

Many people in officers' uniforms were sitting at a large table covered with white tablecloths, eating and drinking, and mouth full of oil.

When he saw a man rudely pulling one leg from a roasted golden and crispy bird, the splashing juice seemed to splash on Hayes' tongue instantly, causing him to secrete saliva madly.

"It's really not easy for everyone to get together alive. For all the good luck, come and have a drink!"

Their leader Alni Morales wiped his mouth and smiled and picked up the goblet filled with light red wine. The others raised their glasses when they saw this.

These people are all young nobles from Sagan. Although they had a mediocre relationship in the past, after joining the army, they became close because of their geographical relationship and their fellow villagers. This time, Arni held a fellow villagers' party and they immediately rushed from their respective stations.
