Between going to the rear for rest and protection, or picking up weapons and launching an attack, these Imperium of Man soldiers had no hesitation at all.
"Sir, we are willing to take up arms and launch an attack with you to avenge our loved ones!"
Just now, the officer of this hive city PDF troops had already told him that they were the only ones resisting on the entire planet.
This meant that the entire planet had fallen, and their loved ones were already dead.
If all their relatives, friends, and acquaintances were dead, what was the meaning of their lives?
Rather than cling to life, it was better to take up arms and make a final stand.
If they were to die, they would die on the battlefield, attacking Chaos.
The PDF troops of this logging world gripped their weapons and followed the PDF troops under Noah's command, continuing to advance and eliminate all Chaos threats.
This planet was large enough, so the war lasted for a full 10 days, until the 11th day arrived, and the light of the star once again shone upon this land.
When the last Chaos cultist was slain, it signified that this planet had achieved its final liberation. However, while it was liberated, the planet's population had dwindled from its original 1 billion to just 13 people remaining.
But no matter what, the planet was saved, and 13 people remained on it.
As long as there were people, there was hope, at least for Noah.
He had, in essence, acquired a new colony world again. Even though it had a small population, that wasn't the main point.
As for population, his planet had over 36 billion people; he could just move 6 billion people here to fill it up. The most important thing was that he had completely gained control of the entire star system.
However, it was regrettable that, because this planet had been completely engulfed by the power of Chaos, even though he had rescued it from Chaos, he was unable to obtain any information he desired.
To understand what was happening in the universe, it seemed he could only dispatch a fleet to other star systems for exploration.
Although the Terran Federation's fleet could be considered powerful, even their warships could only explore within approximately 800 light-years.
The Warp energy in the Warp was too dense; it obstructed the warships' exploration.
As a result, ordinary cruisers could only explore up to about 800 light-years.
A question was laid before Noah: should he dispatch a fleet to other star sectors for detailed exploration to investigate what had happened in this star sector?
This was a difficult decision to make, because everything that had just happened on the adjacent planet had already sounded an alarm for Noah.
The power of Chaos had appeared on these planets. If the fleet departed, would it lead to his star system being attacked by Chaos forces?
Perhaps there was no need to defend that newly acquired planet.
However, his main colony world absolutely had to be defended, because it contained the foundation and base he had accumulated over two years.
If the main colony world was lost, then he would have to start over again.
Although he had done this once before and should be quite adept at it, Chaos energy was everywhere.
He might find it very difficult to find another suitable colony world.
Should he dispatch a fleet to search for what was happening in the universe, or should he keep the fleet to defend his foundation?
Noah thought it over carefully, and finally, he made his decision.
He would personally take a cruiser to explore what was happening beyond the galaxy.
As for the remaining warships and military units, they would stay in his star system for defense.
To easily confirm the location of his star system, Noah specifically marked it on the star map and then changed its name.
Trajan IV —
This star system was officially renamed Trajan IV by him, to commemorate the Terran Federation and his former homeland.
It was also in imitation of the Terran Federation's style, preparing to set sail anew from Trajan IV, to build a powerful Terran Federation and thus fulfill humanity's destiny.
Humanity's supreme destiny.
Noah transmitted his orders to the former Bethel, now the Trajan IV planet.
The fleet began patrolling the entire star system to respond to any potential enemy that might appear.
To ensure the effectiveness of the patrol, the entire fleet maintained a cruising speed of 60,000 times the speed of light.
Enemies might jump out of the Warp.
Although the starbase could detect Warp anomalies, patrols were still essential.
The warships began patrolling.
Noah quickly allocated 10 million people to the newly acquired colony world to begin construction.
He also brought 4 million PDF troops to protect the newly recovered planet.
He was currently quite short on alloys, so the ultimate fate of this planet would inevitably be to become an Ideal city.
Ideal Cities were excellent for producing alloys.
Until he unlocked the federation's ancient technology, he could only rely on these so-called Ideal Cities.
Of course, if he had the federation's applied technology, he wouldn't need these things.
After everything was properly arranged, Noah embarked on his journey.
Accompanying him, besides 20,000 PDF troops, were 400 Psionic Assault Team soldiers.
Beyond that, there was Noah's own Mechanical Legion. Apart from the 4,000 bodyguard-model robots brought from the federation, he only had the remaining 200 military combat robot.
Noah had never brought out the military combat robot before, but now, for exploration, he had taken them out.
The military combat robot's size and physique were no different from ordinary humans.
Thanks to the federation's advanced technology, if one was not from the federation, it would be impossible to determine whether they were human or robot.
At the same time, their combat power also became stronger; after all, they were combat robot, so combat power was what they truly needed.
From the simplest single-hand strength, a military-grade combat robot's single-hand strength reached 4 billion tons, and the combined strength of both hands could reach 12 billion tons.
This was a power that truly defied the laws of physics. They were also equipped with Disintegration Cannon, phase particle light lances, and arc emitters.
The military combat robot were entirely constructed from dragon-scale armor, theoretically capable of withstanding the Big Bang.
In addition, they carried cyclone missile, cataclysm missiles, and proton torpedoes and neutron torpedoes as fire support.
Every federation military combat robot was a crystallization of federation technology; the price of each of these combat military robot was almost equivalent to a cruiser.
If Noah hadn't been a three-system researcher for the federation, already considered a well-known scientist of the federation who could independently pilot a research vessel, and was considered one of the federation's treasures and leaders,
He would not have been qualified to be issued 200 military combat robot.
Normally, an ordinary federation Scientist would only be issued two military robot for protection.
With the protection of these military robot, Noah was confident that he could fight any enemy he encountered.
