Chapter 3302 Gothic Tactics Simulator
Asterion did not respond to Soshyan's question because he didn't know what else the other party would say. In fact, there have been various speculations about the Minotaur Chapter's gene seeds in the Tribunal, but due to the High Lords Council, authority, these speculations never materialized to the point of investigation.
But that's the problem, it won't go away by ignoring it. Of course, Asterion doesn't care about reputation that much, but after all, he still doesn't want to mention it.
"Ah, I said some useless words, please don't mind it. Now that you are here, let the judges briefly talk about the current situation."
Soshyan gave up the topic, and then Scarman and others began to introduce to Minotaur the process and situation of the bloody hundred days of Orpheus as well as the severe situation facing the current sector.
During this period, Asterion just listened silently for most of the time, and only occasionally asked questions. After twenty minutes, the introduction was over.
When Asterion looked at Soshyan, he only asked one question.
"How are you going to fight?"
His tone was still low and calm, but this question revealed his true thoughts - the situation was far more serious than he expected, and so was the enemy's strength.
"Stick to Amala and wait for work."
"So sure they will come?"
"Not long ago, an inquisitor died in the line of duty because he was implanted with spy equipment by aliens. If they didn't plan to attack, they wouldn't go to such trouble. They didn't come to occupy the planet, but to kill humans. Ama Ra has gathered so many troops that he is undoubtedly the most valuable target for the aliens."
"Specific tactics."
"Jump gang."
"What's the trick?"
Soshyan then briefly explained his super-scale gang-hopping tactics, and Asterion shook his head after listening.
"I don't understand, why?"
"The alien ships have an overwhelming advantage in performance, especially their flagships. We don't have any warships to compete with them now, but the existing number of Astartes is not enough to complete the gang-hopping mission, so a large number of Astartes need to be transferred The troops were sent over. ”
"They have many ships?"
"According to the existing battle records, there are not many, it can even be said that there are very few."
After a moment of silence, Asterion shook his head.
"I don't agree. This tactic is cowardly and inefficient. The Empire's cannons and ships are not afraid of any aliens, and human technology is not inferior to any aliens. It's just that you don't need to go to such trouble to join a gang. The Astartes can complete the task. ”
Asterion's words sounded a bit official, but they were undoubtedly "correct". If Soshyan directly refuted them, his position would be untenable.
But he did not choose to respond directly, but asked:
"My good comrade, I can understand that you don't believe in the Adeptus Mechanicus' research and analysis of alien ships, because you have never fought against such aliens. Let's do this. I will conduct a simulated battle with you, and you will command How about I use one-fifth of the alien ships on Amara's side? If you think you've won, then I'll have no complaints about this battle." "Oh? Simulation method? ”
Afterwards, Soshyan took him to the tactics room of the Randall, while others were waiting outside. Because it was related to a confidential device, he did not intend to let too many people know.
Entering the tactics room, you can see a giant tactical instrument with a diameter of more than fifty meters. Although the appearance looks no different from the tactical instrument of the Mechanicus Order, the inside is full of real Furnace technology.
"I once annihilated a group of Necron in Ekvolia. The sages of the Adeptus Mechanicus recorded the entire battle and collected a large number of wreckage and data of the alien ships. Their small ships mainly There are two types, named the Jackal-class and the Elegy-class. The Sages are classified as assault ships, and here they are classified as frigates. There are two types of medium-sized battleships, one is named the Scythe-class, and the other is named the Scythe-class. Shroud level, the mechanical sages consider it Belonging to an independent ship type, collectively known as harvest ships, but here they are counted as cruisers first, and their flagship is one of the very few battleships the empire has witnessed so far. It is a super battleship that does not exceed the battleship level and is comparable to the legendary Queen of Glory. Tomb ships, their quantified data are all here. They are not necessarily prepared, but they are all calculated by comparing them with human ships in battle, especially their speed and defense capabilities."
Looking at the pictures and data that appeared in front of him, Asterion kept shaking his head, seeming to browse carefully. After about ten minutes, he said slowly:
“Why are such detailed research results only being released now?”
"It's not easy for me to get involved or interfere with matters involving the Adeptus Mechanicus."
"Firepower, speed, maneuverability, defense, and even shields have all been numerically quantified. This level is not something that ordinary meditators can operate."
"Ha, I don't know much about technology. If you, comrade, are interested in this aspect, you can discuss it privately with the sages later. I generally call this thing... Goth."
"Huh, Goth? What are you sarcastic about? I have no problem, but how can I simulate it?"
"These are all the ships in the Amara area now."
After a moment, a star map appeared, which was the Amara galaxy, as well as various defense facilities, and then a large number of ships appeared in front of Asterion.
"Their values refer to the new ships built by the most standard construction process, without taking into account service years and combat readiness issues. A brand-new fleet, the Orps fleet originally had 4 battleships, and will subsequently be launched from the outer reaches of the sector. Several squadrons have been reinforced one after another, plus the Astral Knights' Scion of Mars battlecruiser, so the total There are 7 battleships, and there are currently 63 cruisers of various types, and 478 small ships, ah, not counting the Minotaur fleet. In this way, the battle barges will be configured according to a more conventional configuration, with a total of 4 ships. The cruiser is also deployed according to the standard Vanguard class, is that okay?”
Seeing a dozen more ships in front of him, Asterion suddenly asked:
"What about the ship at your feet?"
"Since the empire does not have standard data for this battleship, it cannot be simulated. Let's just treat it as a reserve force."
"If you don't want to give up, just say it, no problem, what about you?"
Soshyan waved his hand, and more than a hundred crescent-shaped battleships appeared in front of him.
"I only need 2 tomb ships, 20 harvest ships, and the rest are assault ships."
After saying that, the lights in the tactical room suddenly dimmed, including one-third of the star map. Only Amara's star map was still glowing, illuminating Asterion's armor, while Soshyan's , it seemed that only a small lamp under his feet, emitting a faint green light, illuminated his helmeted face, making him really look like a Necrontyr overlord.
"You can't see my deployment, and I can't see your deployment. Let's get started. You have five minutes to set the initial position of the fleet."
Asterion lowered his head and looked at the cable handed over by the Mechanic Priest, and then allowed the other party to access his armor, as did Soshyan. After that, the world in their eyes only had the tactical instrument.
