Chapter 442 06.0441: ‘Those Who Invade Our Borders Will Be Punished No Matter How Far Away They Are’
The destination of the imperial transport fleet is a planet called 'Basol'.
This was once part of the Five Hundred Worlds of Ultramar.
Driven by the theory of Southward Expansion, the Tau Empire's expansionary frontier touched upon the richly produced Five Hundred Worlds, and listed this as an important expansion target.
Gradually, thanks to the insensitive Imperial bureaucracy, many worlds were brought to heel by the Tau Empire's silver bullet offensive and artillery diplomacy.
Bashor is one of them. Before being handed over to the Tau by an incompetent planetary governor, it was once a rudimentary civilized world among the five hundred worlds.
Under the temptation of sugar-coated bullets and small favors, the humans above were tired of the distant "empire" that only came from time to time to harvest their own resources and conquer their children, and happily invested in a more visible and tangible future.
Now, this planet has become part of the realm of the Greater Good. Human beings and aliens live together on it. In the comfortable life brought by a large number of automated equipment, most of the residents have forgotten the past history.
This was once one of the vast worlds of the God-Emperor, part of the empire's sacred territory.
But now, the descendants of Robert Guilliman no longer want to endure the paradise created by the great Primarch himself.
The legendary second emperor——Bang! (This record has been deleted and cleared, access is denied!)
Invaded by aliens, the Sons of Ultramar, who are known for their good administrative skills, will work with the imperial warriors to regain the lost territory and jointly thwart the alien aircraft's conspiracy and ever-expanding ambitions!
"We're almost there. Bashor can be seen from the bridge."
"This is really good news. Arriving at the destination of this trip means that we are already at the forefront of the battlefield. Considering the complex main battle zone, it is not impossible to be behind enemy lines."
"According to military-level intelligence, fleet battles are taking place everywhere around here. Almost all the main fleets of the Tau Empire are fighting with the imperial fleet. The void is so big that they can't care about it."
"Don't let your guard down. Even if you don't encounter the large fleet, you must be wary of the small break-up detachment that is waiting for an opportunity.
So, what do the Astra Militarum and the Brotherhood of Astartes plan to do? "
"Imperial spies have successfully replaced the shuttle pad's security forces.
The 'Guvisa' currently on duty at the airport on the ground are all our people. What we have to do now is to get close enough to the planet, then land from the airport, and immediately attack the city after landing.
When we take control of the planet and make the main defenders above give up resistance, the colonial ships in the fleet will put down the imperial colonists and let the planet return to the embrace of the empire. "
"Sounds good, I hope everything goes as smoothly as you imagined."
Unlike Fal, Horatio, who represented the Imperial Navy at this time, could not interfere in the affairs of the Astra Militarum, and he did not intend to use his precious crew members for orbital airborne landings.
The navy has a naval mission, and time is precious. When he safely delivers the fleet to the orbit of the planet, his mission will be completed.
He didn't want to waste the materials and supplies on the ship just for the fight for one planet.
"We are almost reaching the orbit of the planet. Send me an order to put the entire ship on first-level combat alert and be alert to any situation that may occur around us!" Horatio looked serious, staring at any movement that might appear on the horizon of the planet.
"Level 1 combat alert! Level 1 combat alert! All personnel are in position! All personnel are in position!"
As the vanguard, the attack squadron opened the shadow field and sneaked into the planet's orbit first.
The Fury bomber with its wings folded was pushed from the lift platform to the rear spine of the ship, slowly unfolded its body, and finally, with the dazzling flash of electromagnetic ejection, it shot into the void and began a routine reconnaissance.
"Your mission is to fly around the world to ensure the enemy situation on the back side of the planet, which we cannot detect for the time being. Once we find support from the enemy fleet, we will immediately report to the mothership using the wing signal light.

"Leave it to us! Little Captain! Hee hee." I don't know when Veronica started to imitate Fasha,
He called Horatio "little captain", a treasonous title.
[Squirt, sooner or later I will give you tight ship regulations. ]
Horatio hummed in his heart, but remained calm on the surface as he continued to look at the passive detection display in front of him.
Except for those empty merchant ships with only necessary personnel left behind, the attack squadron has not found any trace of the Tau fleet.
Since the orbits controlled by the Tau Empire often have various small cargo ships taking off and landing due to frequent trade, the Tau usually do not consider planning anti-air orbital defense here, but instead hand over all defense tasks to orbital defense platforms.
However, the empire's spies had disguised themselves and led a secret team to control the defense platform. Therefore, when they saw an imperial transport fleet arriving, the soldiers wearing Tau armor inside pressed the green permission button.
"Everything is going according to plan.'
Horatio watched as the Space Marine strike cruisers passed the Epic with their Gladius escorts.
At this time, the sirens on the transport ship were blaring, and astral officers and soldiers from the Triumph Army of Cathay and other five hundred world planets poured into the corresponding landing bay according to the organization.
Within the agreed time, the strike cruisers and transport ships spread out an overwhelming number of troop-carrying landing craft.
"Nurturers, look, there's a meteor shower in the sky!"
A young Tau child who was raised in a socialized manner stretched out four blue fingers and pointed ignorantly at the bolides drawn by the overwhelming Imperial Army landing craft in the sky, shouting excitedly to its caregiver.
The various aliens and the uninformed humans on the ground were all stunned, watching in horror as the overwhelming offensive of the Human Empire gradually approached.
"It's over—it's over—that's the punishment of the God-Emperor!! We're done! All of us will pay the price for betrayal—haha! Hahahahahaha!"
Some elderly humans in their seventies almost collapsed after being stunned, shouting words that most young humans could not understand. They were born under the rule of the Tau Empire, and their understanding and cognition of the Empire were also very vague.
The flames from the engines of tens of thousands of landing craft fanned the red clouds in the sky. Behind the red clouds, dozens of giant ships in orbit looked down proudly at this land that had deviated from the sacred will, casting contempt.
"When they handed over their sacred universe to the aliens, they should have known that this day would eventually come."
Thei stood in front of the French window of the command bridge, looking at the thousands of wars that broke out on the ground in an instant, and said indifferently:
"Macragge treated them well, but they betrayed the Empire without shame and gratitude while enjoying the special tax-free treatment of 500 worlds that other imperial worlds would never get.
Driven by greed, they handed over the precious planets of the Emperor's territory to these aliens without any resistance.
What do you think of such behavior, Captain."
The female judge smiled coldly and looked at the man beside her.
"You can't always love your country when you win, and you can't betray your country when you lose." "The black-haired young man had a stern face. He looked at the flames of war that had burst out on the originally harmonious and beautiful planet, and tapped his arm with his index finger regularly.
It should be a pity that a beautiful and peaceful world was engulfed in war.
But after learning about "Basor's betrayal", he not only had no sympathy in his heart, but wanted to represent the Imperial Navy to fire a few rounds of macro cannons at the planet to cheer for the landing of the Astra Militarum and the Ultramarines.
"We are the Holy Navy of Chi. It is our only duty to defend the sacred universe. It is our eternal mission to protect the sovereignty and integrity of the Empire's territory.
Since they chose to betray, then they and their descendants will bear the price of betrayal.
He looked at his accountant, a quiet girl with black hair and brown eyes.
"I remember an old saying in Zhendan that fits the situation very well."
"Whoever invades our borders will be punished no matter how far away they are."
"Whoever invades our borders." Horatio repeated the words to the female judge, whose smile was getting brighter and brighter:
"Whoever invades our borders will be punished no matter how far away they are."
