Starting from the Planetary Governor-Chapter 1634 - 925-2: The White Wolf Guard Assemble
No matter which direction the outcome of events ultimately develops, at least, Zachariah can forget about quietly waiting on the sidelines until the main Alliance forces depart and then easily obtaining what he wants; the human side can also forget about systematically completing the reclamation of a planet. Both sides are destined to engage in a major battle on Papalier over that ’thing’ which has surfaced.
Zachariah no longer has the leisure to consider the likely presence of Jian Qi amidst all this.
Such considerations will have to wait; for now, he must intensify his efforts.
When forced to take action, he can only do so while the Alliance still has only a portion of its power on Papalier. He aims to seize half of the planet’s orbit at the fastest speed and then strive with all his might to deploy his forces in the shortest possible time to attempt a forceful attack to secure the target.
Exploiting the time when the Alliance’s main force has merely a hundred warships present, while other fleets are reinforcing from other planets within their Star Sector, capturing the target quickly and retreating is the priority.
However, due to the garrison’s staunch defense of the cathedral and Martins’ overly swift support, Zachariah’s primary objective was thus thwarted.
Zachariah is plunged deep into regret.
He regrets his arrogance, questioning why he did not full-heartedly commit during the first wave?
Why didn’t he personally engage in battle? If he and his White Wolf Guards had joined the assault on the cathedral from the very beginning, perhaps the battle would have long been won?
In truth, it’s not his fault.
The Chaos forces have consistently operated this way.
Not only him, but it’s also the usual practice among other Chaos Lords and the masters of the Calamity Fleet—to preserve elite forces while sending others to their deaths.
From the leaders of smaller warbands to Chaos Warlord Alchaton himself, they all behave this way.
After all, within the factions of Chaos, strength is the most crucial thing. Completing a task while draining one’s own power means no recognition will remain; instead, another ambitious one who preserved their strength will soon rise to replace them.
He merely committed an error that all Chaos Lords tend to make.
And he has realized it, now resolved to correct this mistake personally.
He rises from his throne, already fully armed.
Surrounding him, the White Wolf Guards clad in Terminator Power Armor are poised to move behind him.
These warriors almost all boast battle experience of at least a thousand engagements. Their most prominent feature, apart from the grey and white paint speckled with some black dots unique to the White Wolf lineage, is a strip of genuine white wolf pelt draped over their shoulders, akin to a scarf, although it actually endows them with formidable powers from deep within Subspace.
This blessing—or curse—elevates the White Wolf Guards’ abilities far beyond normal circumstances.
In critical moments, the Wolf Soul hidden within their White Wolf cloaks can fully replace the soul of the Interstellar Warrior, transforming them entirely into werewolves.
While transformed into ’werewolves,’ the warriors’ personalities and memories are entirely obliterated, which could be considered a kind of death in itself. But the power gained at this cost is undeniably real.
They will become complete werewolves, clad in the most advanced Terminator Power Armor, a Subspace-blessed werewolf with strength rivaling that of a superior Demon!
Such White Wolf Guards number seven hundred strong by Zachariah’s side.
This forms his core elite fighting force, along with over two thousand White Wolf warband warriors, composing the main force commanding the entire Calamity Fleet.
Attached to these two to three thousand core forces are about four thousand other Chaos warriors from over a hundred different warbands, alongside a multitude of conscripted and enslaved Chaos minions, support troops sent by Chaos Warlords from the Dark Mechanic Cult, and an army formed by Demon Engines procured from Bas Sol.
Among the over a thousand Chaos Starfield Warriors sent to the front, only a little over a hundred were Zachariah’s White Wolf cubs; the rest were Chaos warriors from other warbands.
As a result, there were hardly any left after the battle.
And facing the current situation, since he himself plans to go down personally, he won’t conserve any power.
Even with limited deployment capabilities, he must immediately bring all the most elite forces down.
This is not just about committing all forces to ensure the task is foolproof. More importantly, he must bring all unsafe factors to his side.
To put it bluntly, even if he dies below, he must ensure all those who need to die do so alongside him. He absolutely won’t leave anyone on board the ship capable of taking over the fleet in the event something happens to him below.
...
The cathedral on Papalier wasn’t particularly famous in the past.
The world itself is not a famous world, and the cathedral isn’t famous anywhere within it, let alone externally.
But from today onwards, the name ’Savinier Cathedral’ will leave a prominent mark in many human historical texts.
A battle with tremendous impact on the cosmic landscape will commence here without much preamble.
When Zachariah leads over six thousand Chaos Starfield Warriors of various attires and origins, backed by a multitude of dark mechanical constructs and Demon Engines, forming a terrifying army, to launch an assault on Savinier Cathedral.
