Chapter 805: Post-War Deployment (1)

Ninth Defense Zone Military Region Meeting Room.

"Lao Lu, immediately summon the personnel currently available to attend the meeting; prepare to conduct the meeting."

The blast-proof alloy door slid open silently; Yingzhou walked in quickly, speaking to Lu Zhenda, who was following closely behind him.

Sanguinius followed quietly at his side, his snow-white wings casting a soft halo under the lights of the command room.

"My Lord!"

Nuochaqigan and Gewanuosai saluted simultaneously, then stopped on either side of the meeting room door.

"Understood."

After hearing Yingzhou's instructions, Lu Zhenda immediately began summoning the relevant personnel.

Yingzhou waved his hand casually and sat in the main seat, while Sanguinius sat in his own designated seat.

Yingzhou's gaze swept over the massive holographic planet projection in the center—at this moment, it displayed the detailed topographical map of the Ninth Defense Zone, marked with the factory zone, Planting Zone, residential areas, defensive fortifications, and resource points.

There were also several newly built city-states nearby, showing icons indicating they were under construction.

He rubbed his brow, his face carrying a trace of fatigue from the long-distance raid, but his eyes remained sharp.

"Lao Lu,"

Yingzhou looked at Lu Zhenda, cutting straight to the point.

"The Cyberk core has been destroyed; the war is over. But this planet, Xiuluo Holy Star, our home, is in ruins and awaiting restoration, and the starry sky above is not absolutely safe. We cannot let our guard down."

Lu Zhenda nodded with a solemn expression.

"Yes. The news of the war's end has spread throughout the defense zone, and the people's morale is high, but the long-standing accumulated problems and future threats indeed need to be addressed immediately."

He paused for a moment, then looked at Yingzhou and asked.

"What did you mean earlier when you mentioned a 'greater crisis'?"

Yingzhou did not answer immediately, but instead raised his hand to operate the Control Console a few times.

Hum—

In the air on both sides of the command room, pale green light screens lit up, and several tall, majestic figures rapidly solidified from a blur.

Horus (projection) appeared before his seat, his gaze sweeping across the room as he nodded slightly.

Dorn (projection) appeared before his seat, his gaze observing the positions of the planetary defense nodes.

Vulkan's (projection) massive and heavy figure appeared before his seat, his gaze looking toward Yingzhou.

Angron (projection) appeared before his seat, looking at his other brothers with a relaxed expression.

Perturabo (projection) appeared before his seat, his gaze critically examining the data streams of the planetary projection.

Ferrus (projection) and Corax (projection) appeared before their respective seats.

Besides the projections of the seven Primarchs, the command room also contained Lu Zhenda, Chief of Logistics Jack, and Selina, who stood quietly behind Yingzhou to his side, pale green data streams flickering silently in her pupils.

"Ahem, everyone,"

Seeing that the personnel had all arrived, Yingzhou cleared his throat and spoke.

"The Cyberk have been wiped out, and the state of war is lifted. But our path has not ended.

This planet is our foundation, the home upon which countless compatriots depend for survival.

Now, we must do two things: rebuild our home and consolidate our Fortress."

He pointed to the locations marked as the factory zone, Planting Zone, and residential areas on the planetary projection.

"First, the restoration and reconstruction of people's livelihoods."

"Lao Lu,"

Yingzhou looked at Lu Zhenda and continued.

"Immediately set to work on two things: one, war compensation for the Reserve Army; ensure it is issued in full and on time to the families of every fallen soldier and to the disabled soldiers.

Two, organize the 'Home Reconstruction Committee,' absorbing representatives from every zone and grassroots personnel from all fields to jointly formulate a recovery plan and listen to the people's most urgent needs."

"Jack," Yingzhou turned to Jack, whose hairline was receding.

"Lift the wartime maximum rationing restrictions. Prioritize the stability of food, basic medical care, and energy supplies.

The production capacity of the factory zone should gradually shift from ordnance to civilian necessities—tools, building materials, and water purification equipment.

Also, the damaged residential houses, public facilities, roads, and bridges are the focus of reconstruction.

Utilize the captured Cyberk engineering machinery and materials to improve efficiency.

Especially the Planting Zone; it must be prioritized for repair and expansion, as food is the foundation."

"Corax,"

Yingzhou looked at Corax, who had a pale complexion and black hair.

"The war is over, but order must not be chaotic. Strictly crack down on looting and hoarding during this time of chaos.

Strengthen care and monitoring for those who have installed inferior Cyberk prosthetics and may experience rejection or mental instability; provide medical and psychological support.

Strengthen community patrol forces to give the residents a sense of security."

"Vulkan," Yingzhou looked at Vulkan's projection.

"Your legion warriors have a good reputation among the populace. Detach some squads to assist in the repair of large public facilities, especially for heavy manual labor and technical difficulties. Their presence is, in itself, a symbol of peace of mind."

Vulkan's projection nodded slightly, his voice deep and reliable.

"Understood, Father. The Salamanders are happy to help rebuild our home, and the Forge Power can also forge peace."

"Second, defense consolidation and internal purging."

"Dorn, the outer defensive line of the Ninth Defense Zone will be evaluated and reinforced under your lead.

Maximize the utilization of our Void Shield generators.

Internally, clear out all unactivated traps left by the Alien Race.

Shift the defense system from 'resisting invasion' to 'early warning and rapid response'."

"Yes! Father!"

"Angron, you continue to handle all matters in the Ninth Defense Zone Outer City; you must ensure that every task is implemented thoroughly."

"Also, regarding those 'Biological Processor' survivors we discovered in the First Defense Zone. Their situation is special; I need you to cooperate with Selina to formulate a recovery plan, ensuring they can integrate into society while monitoring potential risks."

"Understood, Father."

"Perturabo, consolidate all captured Cyberk weapons, vehicles, and energy cores. Evaluate their usability; those that can be modified and utilized should be used to strengthen our defensive power, while those that pose hidden dangers or cannot be utilized should have safe and efficient dismantling or sealing plans designed by you."

"Ferrus, cooperate with the Tech-Priests to improve our early warning range and anti-infiltration capabilities."

"Selina, cooperate fully with Dorn's defense upgrades, Ferrus's technical research, and Corax's surveillance network."

"At the same time, establish an information dissemination system covering the entire defense zone to ensure that information such as reconstruction policies, material allocation, and safety warnings can be transmitted quickly and accurately to every community, eliminating room for rumors."

Selina nodded gently and replied.

"Understood."
