You make your way to the new reported Infection source.
[3] Soon your Outriders report of strange sightings, mirages shimmering in the air. You know that this must be the advancing Horde of 343.
But as the First wave of the beasts come over a crest only half your army is ready to give off a single salvo before entering close Combat.

LuthiasYou move onwards to the next Area [?] hte lands here seems to have been hit with something, definetly something but you have no idea what it was...anyway the few remaining Xenos don't prove any greater resistance.

1 Parcel Infested Xeno-Farmland (1Mp)
[?] Travelling for Days your men come upon vast stretches of Plains. Some Middling Xeno-Hives in between, the area is mostly covered in Farmlands. As you move in closer you notice the pungent stench of the Dead. [3] You send some Scouts in. [3] But after 3 Days not a single one has come back. You order a scan from your frigate [2] but disturbances in the magnetosphere reveal nothing.
Unsettled, you still decide to move in with your Army...
what you find is
horrible The Land is covered in decaying corpses, even animals not daring to touch the bloated corpses. A close inspection reveals what hit them...it seem they started decaying alive, a process happening in mere days..
The whole countryside is covered in corpses. As you close in on a nearby Hive you find the floors covered to the brim in Dead. Travelling further into the land you find very few survivors, half starved-kids, the few half-crazed survivors who endured and survived this terryfing case of leper and a few small groups of survivors scavenging the land...
Seeing what happened you order a full retreat. Fearing infection your men run for their lives. [5] Although 2 Regiments catch an Infection, your troop manages to escape the lands otherwise unscathed, you quickly order those men quarantined and seeing that no help cna be brought to them in time you show mercy and shoot them...
