Chapter 3357 The prospect is bleak
The Dubandlin family also participated in this expedition, but Soshyan considered that they had just ended the war in the archdiocese and really needed repairs, so they only dispatched 3 gun formations, led by a duke. They were in the Karosh nest. Du performed very well in the defensive battle, destroying 7 enemy obelisks and a large number of infantry. It only lost one ranger and one horned viper knight.
As for the Space Marines, the main ones deployed on the ground were the Predator Chapter and the Eleventh Company. The Predator Chapter's company lost 23 people, while the Eleventh Company lost 27 people, and another three seriously injured people were going to enter the Dreadnought. For a company, it was already a very serious casualty.
"Thanks to you taking charge this time, Talos."
Hearing Soshyan's praise, Talos sighed and put his helmet aside.
"Just don't blame me for causing too many casualties."
"How could it be? I believe that after seeing the power of the Necrons, no one will have anything to say about this number of casualties. No one can do better than you."
"Ha, I have never been a strategist. Before I met you, I didn't even command more than twenty people, but you believe that I can command tens of millions of troops."
Talos shook his head helplessly.
"If you let others know, they will think you are crazy."
Then he cast his gaze out the observation window.
"Now Orpheus is also in a mess, what are you going to do next?"
Soshyan raised his hand and pointed to the right, where the star was emitting strong light.
"The Necrontyr has attacked Amara's star. Now the Adeptus Mechanicus is trying to stabilize it, but it will become irreversibly active. The surface temperature of Amara's main star may rise to a certain extent, but it is still at an acceptable level. range, but there must be a nest city to accommodate the excess population, otherwise the temperature rise will Killing a lot of people, the top priority right now is to ensure the safety and survival of the people after the war. I plan to transfer part of the population to Amara No. 3 and No. 4, and at the same time change the main nest to Tritos Hive, as soon as possible Restore Karosh's hive, repair Amara's orbital facilities, airport, etc."
Talos turned to ask:
"Are you going to stay here forever?"
"I'm not sure. It's just a temporary plan. It depends on Terra's attitude. But Menak's retreat is a bit strange. I suspect there are other reasons, so I really have to stay for a while and observe. After all, I finally won. , the fruits of victory must be preserved, otherwise it will be meaningless.”
"What reaction do you think Terra will have? For example, handing over this place to you?"
Soshyan shook his head.
"It's unlikely. The Moffs are still there, and they won't be so generous and openly hand over a sector, or half a sector, to an Astartes chapter. After all, the last one had such a scale of power. It’s the Star Claw that occupies the entire maelstrom.”
Sol suddenly said:
"This is not necessarily true. After Terra sees such a huge loss figure, they may give up on Orpheus."
"Give up."
Soshyan thought for a while and shook his head.
"This is a huge historical responsibility. Who is willing to bear it? Publicly announcing the abandonment of a sector or after victory is undoubtedly a kind of political suicide."
"But it is impossible for Terra to continue investing, especially for a sector that only provides manpower tithes. This is undoubtedly very unworthy. The prospect of this sector is still very bleak. .”
Soshyan immediately understood what Sol meant.
"So, is it really possible that they handed Orps over to me and asked me to take on this responsibility, thinking that this victory would drain my blood until I had to abandon the sector myself?"
< br>
Talos smiled and took the red ant bull from the servant, took a sip and said softly:
"The possibility is indeed not low, and it is very consistent with the thinking of politicians."
After Soshiyang pondered for a moment, he shook his head.
"I don't think it's that easy. They're not that generous, and they're not that stupid. Even if they are clumsy and slow in strategy, they must be the most cunning bastards in their Machiavellian tactics. They can think of better and more disgusting things." Means to deal with Orps ”
Talos glanced at Thor and nodded.
"You are indeed better at this. Maybe your intuition is right, so just wait and see."
"By the way, Talos, the 11th Company has lost so many people this time, so we might as well recruit a group of new soldiers in Orps and replenish them on the spot." "Yes, as long as you agree."
"Then you don't have to worry about other things. You can go and see all the existing worlds in Orps, and communicate directly with the locals if appropriate."
Talos smiled slightly.
"You don't have to go to other places, Amara is pretty good. Only souls who have experienced cruel wars can better understand what dark justice is. In addition, Casa has identified a few interesting seedlings early."
"Interesting?"
Soshyan heard what Talos was implying.
"Think tank?"
Talos nodded.
"Well, think tanks are still useful. This time, something big happened because there were no think tanks."
"What happened?"
The latest chapter of this book
Take a look at the 16-9 book bar!
Soshyan then briefly told Talos about the quantum ghost. After listening, Talos nodded in enlightenment.
"No wonder these bastards are coming to trouble you. It turns out it's all a conspiracy. It seems that the think tank really has to be put on the agenda. I'll check it myself. If there are no problems, we can start the drug adaptation stage."
"Well, just concentrate on handling the company's affairs. By the way, the Unbound Soul sank, but the main body of the ship is still there. What's your opinion?"
Talos held his chin with his fist and thought for a while before replying:
"Is it difficult to repair?"
"The main structure may need to be replaced with a new one, but the difficulty should not be very difficult."
"Then repair it. After all, it carries a piece of history."
As he spoke, Talos suddenly laughed.
"That little bastard Li Lin is really a bit prescient. He has been pestering me before, saying that the battle might be brutal and that important personnel and items on the ship should be moved to the ground first. I was so annoyed by him that I asked him to arrange the people himself. I did it, and I didn’t expect it to actually work.”
"Are Sablin and Li Lin okay?"
"Ah, nothing happened. Sablin was solely responsible for the defensive battle of New Wasburg this time. Let him get a good training."
Soshyan smiled slightly.
"The children have grown up, which is a good thing."
At this time, Talos suddenly looked at Thor.
"You have also seen that the King of Silence can be said to have turned against him. Didn't you show any sign?"
Sol pursed his lips, pondered for a moment and replied:
"I can only report how to respond. It can only be decided by those few people. The situation is very complicated now and I can't explain it clearly. There are many accidents."
Talos sneered.
"It's been 10,000 years. Is there anyone who really thinks that there will be no accidents in a plan? It's long past time to wake up from the dream. It's painful to face reality, but it's more effective."
Sol sighed and stopped talking, while Soshyan shook his head, walked to the console, and continued his review work.
