Nurgle is gentle, but what he has decided is difficult to change.

When he decided that Kane was a threat to the Warhammer 40K universe, a truly massive war was inevitable.

Nurgle did not continue to watch the battle, he thought that it was basically enough to know who the enemy was and where it was, and that it was easy to be misled by the opponent and fall into the cognitive trap by observing too much.

Intelligence gathering is of course important, but if you are led by the other party because of this, and unconsciously enter the competition mode and rhythm that the other party is good at, it is far from being able to make up for it by obtaining some information.

To be fair, Nurgle did not develop a strategic and tactical concept of 'you fight yours, I fight mine'. But he's the kind of temperament that would rather suffer a little bit than bring out the unique style he loves to the end. This has always led to an effect similar to 'you fight yours, I hit mine', so that his plague corrodes, in the previous wars, it feels like the ink is slow to take effect, but the final result is eye-catching, even if it is He who loses, the other party is definitely a miserable victory.

As Kane once concluded: Most people are both successful and defeated. Plague corrosion brought self-confidence, success, and then pride, and failure.

It's hard to say what stage Nurgle is at right now, but he does rely heavily on plague corrosion and the strategy and tactics that were born around the concept.

This is the root of His belief that it is enough to know who the enemy is and where it is. After determining that Kane and his master were the enemies that had to be eliminated, he went back to preparing for war with all his might.

For many years, Nurgle has been preparing for many years, with many sharp plagues and toxins in his hands, and has been conducting laboratory-level evolutionary research and improvement, and now, these hole cards will be transformed into real weapons, and will be put into battle at the right time, setting off a grand war.

Slaanesh sent his subordinates to attack, but not against the battlefield of Gradius, but against the core of the human empire, Terra.

He is the one who is the best at the way of 'four or two thousand catties' among the four evil gods, and this operation, he also exerted this style, taking advantage of the fact that Kane and the First Order had no time to take care of him, driving the assassins to raid more, not only capturing a group of clergy of the Holy Light Sect for research and experiments, but also shocking the human empire, and fiercely brushing a wave of existence, thus stimulating and harvesting a wave of spiritual energy.

The thick and small terror has at least one purpose, and that is to establish two bridgeheads in the Gradius system.

One is on the fifth planet of Gradius, and the other is a lava dome on the planet Gradius.

Planet 5 is a Saturn-like planet with spectacular meteorite belts and numerous resource-rich moons.

Kane and his First Order, despite all they could, gathered the resources of the Gradius system, but gave them too little time to operate.

After Miranda's thorough analysis, the first order focused on Gradius' fourth gaseous star, and the outermost sixth frozen star.

Because ice water, as well as gas, are relatively easy resources to digest.

This perspective of judgment is naturally not the First Order, but from the perspective of the primary hypothetical enemy of the time, the Tyranid Swarm.

The swarm must have been very hungry all the way. And just like a camel after a long journey, when resting in an oasis, a large amount of drinking water, easily digestible ice and gas resources can quickly alleviate the state of the insect swarm, combined with their own hoarded essence resources, to form the materials needed for the insect swarm explosion.

Generally speaking, this wave of explosive troops can crush the enemy with overwhelming momentum, and then it will be reaped wantonly. If it doesn't work, the harvested resources will also be invested in the second round of explosions.

According to this speculation, the first order preferentially occupies the sixth planet, also so that the large and small ice meteorites in the outermost part of the Gradius star system, which resemble the Kuiper Belt of the solar system, can be collected more efficiently.

Concretely, the First Order adopted the 'fallen' method of collection.

It is to use the gravitational pull of the sixth planet to hit all the ice meteorites in the Kuiper belt on it.

Not only that, the First Order also used planetary modification technology on Planet Six, using the gamma-ray cannon on the star Dyson ring (before the Dyson sphere was built) to drill holes and bombardment to heat the core of Planet Six.

The whole plan was weirdly named 'Korean-style plastic surgery' by Kane, naturally, the stalk in it is only understood by himself, and it is nothing more than the meaning of 'big change of life'. After all, the surface and core of the earth have changed at the same time, and the changes are indeed very large.

According to Miranda's calculations, this brutal heating and fattening will eventually seriously change the established orbit of Planet 6 and collide with Planet 5, which will then have a more serious chain reaction.

However, the whole process is calculated in millions of years, and the first order is adjusted in time, if it is deemed necessary at that time.

As the Earth's core heats up, the electromagnetic layer of Planet 6 is formed, a large number of ice meteorite impacts, and gamma rays irradiate, so that Planet 6, although it is the farthest away from the star, has formed a false prosperity in a short period of time, with melting snow and ice, atmospheric formation, torrential rain, and an extremely terrifying plasma storm environment.

The environment is extremely harsh, the earth's crust is also unstable, earthquakes are frequent, thousands of meters of mountain peaks are squeezed by the movement of the earth's crust overnight, and of course, tens of thousands of meters of ravines and abysses.

However, the First Order relied on the technology of the high pole, and took advantage of the opportunity of the formation of the new world to complete its own arrangement and achieve the purpose of the planet's resource banking.

Such a planet, it can be said that there are operations of the First Order from the inside to the outside, at that time, Tzeentch and his subordinates had not yet broken with the First Order, but only the Caustic orcs and the demon lord Orson the Cruel were active, and they did not poke the weakness of the First Order, so the sixth planet was completely controlled by the First Order.

Later, the Tzeentch Demon very much wanted to use this planet as his base camp in Gradius, but he used soldiers several times to beat the dogs with all the meat buns. In particular, the action of the underground dome to open up a bridgehead was put on a long line by the first order, and the big fish was dropped, and the loss was so heavy that even Tzeentch was painful and never forgot it.

In this way, the Gate of Gradius, or more simply the 'Gate Star', fell into the control of the First Order, and became a tacit fact even to the demons.

Gradius is the second star of the star system, and the distance from the star, compared to the solar system that Kane is most familiar with, is about between Mars and Earth, and the first star is similar to Mercury, originally because the distance from the star was too tight, the environment was too cruel, but with the formation of the Dyson sphere, the environment there also improved rapidly.

And the First Order has a comprehensive plan, and it has long expected this change in the First Star, and it is also early to strike, so the smallest planet in the Gradius star system also fell into the hands of the First Order without suspense.

Between Gradius and the third star, there was originally a meteorite belt similar to the edge of the planetary circle in the solar system, but they were all pushed by the First Order with a planetary engine and crashed to the first star. The specific operation is somewhat similar to that of the Gate Star, but instead of heating the earth's core and establishing an atmospheric system, it is implanted with evil god cells and compressed to make it stronger, and then used as a hive fortress.

Because of its role, the first star is called the 'Worm Guard' by the First Order, the worm is the hive, and the guard is the guardian star, but the demons are more directly called the 'Nest Star', and later called it widely the name 'Nest Star'.

Gradius means 'sword fighting', but the demons more literally refer to it as the Battlestar, or Battlefield.

The fourth planet is a gaseous star, which was once the focus of contention between the First Order and the demons.

After a series of failed attempts to occupy the demons, the Tzeentch Demon was furious and tried to set the massive planet on fire.

Unfortunately, the plan ultimately failed.

Now, the battle for the Fourth Planet has come to an end, and 40% of its resources have been siphoned off by the First Order for the construction of the Dyson Sphere.

In other words, a considerable part of the 'clothes' that Gradius is wearing now are converted from the resources of the fourth planet.

The remaining 60% was compressed, and the largest planet is now the smallest, narrowly missing the ranks of dwarf planets.

This planet is a veritable resource star of the First Order, the demon calls it the 'Blood Star', the blood transports nutrients for life, and the Fourth Planet provides resources for the First Order, hence its name due to its rust-red color.

At the beginning, the First Order was started on almost all planets, including stars, and Gradius, with billions of inhabitants, spent extra energy and material resources, and the Fifth Planet, which had a complex star situation, could not be dealt with in time.

This is the main reason why it has become the focus of contention between the two sides of the current battle.

Especially when the demons consumed too much resources and couldn't bear it, they focused on the fifth planet.

Tzeentch Demons once rejuvenated a large army regardless of the cost and occupied a satellite rich in natural gas. Methane and hydrogen sulfide in natural gas are near-direct resources for demons, and carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide are equally useful.

Therefore, after taking possession of this satellite, the Tzeentch demon flatteringly named it Satellite Nine, because Tzeentch's holy number is nine.

In addition to the ninth satellite, Tzeentch Demon later occupied three other moons, which, although barren, gave Tzeentch a place to settle his huge army. Of course, they are not in harmony with each other, and they get together to make all kinds of cynicism, so they are stationed separately, and for this reason the Tzeentch demons will not say anything to the public.

Today, Tzeentch has a total of four moons and a home field advantage in the billions of cubic kilometers of meteorite belt, which is the main result of the Tzeentch demons who have been fighting in the Graius star system for more than five years.

The First Order once had a lot of tears with the Tzeentch Demons on the Fifth Planet, but since occupying the ten largest resource mining areas on the Fifth Planet, it has changed to a defensive strategy.

In the meteorite belt, on the surface of the planet, and in the underground vault, the elite soldiers on both sides come and go, often the demons who are happy to achieve great achievements gain face, and the first order for the purpose of destroying the living force is the inside, but the scale is not large.

The Demon Legion of Horror entered with a thunderous force, but it failed to make any waves. After all, what they seized was an area that the Tzeentch demons had taken in the Face War, a large island surrounded by the Gobi Sand Sea, and only this large island was high and rocky, almost the size of Madagascar.

Another successful bridgehead for the Demon Army is Gradius. The same is to take advantage of the Tzeentch demon and eat ready-made.

However, this force is a bit interesting, and Kane can even name them by name after learning about their actions - the Soul Raiders!

In the Fear and Abuse series, the most active is not the Demon Legion, but the War Gang.

And the Sadomasochistic War Gang, the most impressive, in addition to the thirst for killing, is madness.

And the predecessor of the Soul Raider Legion, the Soul Raider Gang, can be said to be the most abnormal one among the mentally abnormal Sadistic War Gang.

The hobby and specialty of the Soul Raiders is defensive warfare.

Defense, Defense, Battle!

Many people will wonder how they can calm down and build fortresses, and how can they endure loneliness and wait for the enemy to come to the door?

The Soul Raiders say we have a solution!

In order to take part in their favorite close-quarters bloody battles within the walls, and to sacrifice the blood of their own martyrs (which is important, these fanatics don't mind giving their lives in the slightest), the Soul Raiders can be summed up in three steps.

As a first step, the Soul Raiders will find a suitable stronghold.

It must be crushed by a large army, and in the face of a great threat, it is better to be surrounded and helpless.

Then, in the second step, the Soul Raider Gang's well-known Dimensional Claw team (special team, positioned as a high-end technical unit similar to the army, such as the Chemical Weapons Expert Group) will tear open the barriers of the material universe and establish a subspace channel.

As a result, the Soul Raiders overcame all physical barriers and appeared at the heart of the fortress.

From here, they will slaughter all the defenders with a thunderous force until they completely control the defense system.

Finally, in the third step, they sit in the sea of blood of the defenders, waiting for the arrival of the enemy army that the defenders were facing.

As for who the defenders are, and who the enemy they are facing, does it matter to the madmen who can sacrifice their own lives and just want to fight in the mode they want?

By the way, they often don't survive.

Of course, this is also in line with the hearts of these people.

With such a distinctive force, it is not easy for Kane not to remember.

Therefore, as soon as he heard that the demon had raided the ruins of a town occupied by the Tzeentch demon and under attack, he knew that it was probably a Soul Raider.

According to the original historical trajectory, the Soul Raider Legion is really known to the intelligent creatures of the real universe, and it will be a few hundred years later, in the context of the Tyranid swarm's large-scale invasion of the galaxy, this Tyrannical Legion is a well-known anti-insect Biaozi group, and the corpse mountain and blood sea killed by the Tyranid Worm, and the death of its own system, but the footsteps of the Tyranid Worm have also been blocked.

Of course, it is still not as good as the green skin, mainly because their military source is not compared with the green skin, the green skin is a good leek, the cutting is diligent, the long is also diligent, and the more the war atmosphere is rich, the more inspiration emerges from the technician boys, all kinds of amazing spiritual weapons emerge in endlessly, and the birth probability of the heroic green skin is also under the effect of the Waaaagh force field, which has improved a lot.

Kane felt that the addition of the Soul Raiders would make the overall occupation much more interesting, after all, the long-term probing of the First Order had shown that there was a mysterious latent force in Gradius......
