Chapter 344: Man-Eating Shark: I can’t live this life any longer!
After Ron issued the order for additional supplies, he continued to listen to Taco's report.
Currently.
The Redemption Fleet has collectively headed to Baal, with about a thousand large battleships and more affiliated battle groups;
Thunder Guards, War Angels, Void Angels, Sons of Man, and Alien Hunters Nearly 60,000 Space Marines were also in place.
The Storm Army dispatched a large number of armored troops, investing 300 Redemption Titans, more than 2,000 Imperial Knights, and a large number of heavy vehicles and artillery.
Not only that.
The Tau Empire will also dispatch more than a hundred large battleships and many combat uniform squads. As for the green-skinned Steel Teeth tribe, they will use combat satellites and multiple battleships to go out, basically all of them will be dispatched. .
And.
The Savior Territory sent not only the army, but also more transport fleets and engineering teams to cooperate with the evacuation of the population and the construction of fortifications.
There is no way.
If ordinary people are not evacuated, they will most likely become Tyranid's biomass supply once the war breaks out.
All the population must be evacuated.
Fortunately, there are not many planets involved this time, only three planets in the Baal galaxy and six or seven small colonial planets in the surrounding galaxies.
The transport fleet and engineering troops are estimated to be able to move these places to about the same extent.
"Savior."
Taco said quite confidently: "The evacuation and transportation project has been going on for some time. We guarantee that all the work will be completed before Tyron arrives!"
Buzz ~
The porthole armor on the left side slowly rose, and the warm light of the star poured into the cabin.
Ron stood up and walked to the porthole, looking outside through the tempered glass. Not far away was a planet of light yellow and light green.
This is the closest colonial planet to Baal. The surface is covered with forests and rivers, and is rich in biomass.
It is very likely to become the only place that the Tyranids nest must pass, and it is also an important area for evacuation work.
At this moment.
He could see the densely packed large black spots in the orbit of the planet, almost covering the entire space of the planet and surrounding it tightly.
Those are huge transport ships one after another.
The light yellow smoke is dust caused by construction. There are at least dozens of engineering Titans and countless large-scale engineering equipment at work.
There are tens of millions of engineers operating the machines alone!
Ron nodded and expressed his appreciation for the evacuation work organized by Taco: "Yes, remember to move it clean and leave nothing behind for the bugs!"
Because there is plenty of time.
This time the evacuation work will not only transport away the population, but also the plants, animals, rivers and other things on the surface that contain a large amount of biomass. Even the river water and land will be pumped away and moved away.
Let the Tyranids lose any supplies!
That is to say, the Savior's territory is still relatively small and cannot develop a larger transportation fleet. Otherwise, these mechanized transportation engineering teams would be much more efficient than the Tyranid swarm.
A little extreme.
Just send people to keep an eye on the Tyranid nest. Whichever target they lock on, the engineering team will use the network channel to transport all the valuables in advance.
Then leaving a bare earth ball equipped with a cyclone torpedo.
It won't starve to death!
Of course.
If the savior's armed forces can defeat the insects, there is no need to go to such extreme lengths.
This transportation work was really a helpless move.
If the Savior Territory does not interfere and conduct evacuation work, the Blood Angels will not have the ability to evacuate the population of these planets.
Follow the original situation.
In order to deal with the terrifying Tyranid Hive, Dante imitated a radical Inquisitor and issued an extermination order for the systems along the way.
Create an isolation belt in the universe to weaken and isolate Tyranids.
When the people in the colony watched with hope as the angel fleet arrived over the planet, expecting to be rescued.
What fell from their heads was an extermination order without any explanation. They died in the hands of the angels who protected them.
That's also something that can't be helped.
The Tyranids are coming.
The fate of these colonies has been doomed. Even if an extermination order is not issued, they will die from the insect's mouth and become nourishment for the Tyranids to replenish their troops.
It’s not just the people in the colonies.
The fate of the sons of Sanguinius was equally tragic, with many of their warriors voluntarily accepting death missions with no chance of survival.
To hold back Tyron's pace.
This is the cruel galaxy that mankind has to face. Whether it is chaos heresy or aliens, it can bring a lot of despair and painful sacrifices to people.
For all this.
The warriors of the Empire have become accustomed to this.
But the arrival of the savior changed everything slightly, making the war less cruel.
Humanity has more hope.
The Savior’s Armed Forces adhere to the sustainable development war concept of “enemy’s belongings are mine” and “armed encirclement and crushing”.
Not only does it give the enemies of mankind a head-on blow, but it also makes them richer the more they fight.
For example, the battle of the Hades galaxy.
Not only did they defeat the Tyranids and save the population, creatures, wealth and other living resources of the Hades galaxy, they also dug up the tombs of the Necron and obtained a large amount of precious technology.
This will further develop the technology in the Savior’s territory.
Even for this Battle of Baal, the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Ministry of Interior have made detailed plans. The Savior Territory must not only assist Baal in defeating the Tyranids, but also consider post-war recovery and reconstruction.
As much as possible, let the Baal system prosper and develop after the war, and greatly improve the living environment and standard of the people of Baal.
The resource transportation work of these planets is not meaningless.
Those are good things, relatively rare resources. In the future, these vegetation, organisms, clean water and fertile soil will be used for the reconstruction of Baal.
Baal may not be able to digest the evacuated population from these colonial planets.
Then they can only go to the Savior Territory to live a better life, at least it will be much better than they are in the colony.
After Ron looked at it for a while, he turned to look at Taco: "I will not look at the other evacuation work and go directly to Barr. That guy Dante must be waiting impatiently."
< br>"Yes, Lord Savior."
Taco immediately sent the captain the order to set sail, and then reported the new situation:
"The statistics of Space Marine related equipment and vehicles in the Webway arsenal have been completed. There are approximately 20,000 sets of armor and supporting equipment, nearly 1,000 vehicles of various types, and the latest delivery of 2,500 sets of Centurion armor. .
These are already being loaded on the ship and are expected to arrive in Baal sooner than we do.”
In order to allow the Space Marines to quickly replenish their equipment, the Military Affairs Department and the Logistics Department jointly launched the network. An armaments warehouse was built.
The rapid delivery of relevant equipment and resources through network logistics allows space warriors to fight without worries and complete their missions.
In addition to the arsenal of the Space Marines, the arsenal of the Storm Army is also under construction, but due to the large area, it may take another year to a year and a half to complete.
After all, there are too many things to consider when building a warehouse on the Internet.
Many factors will affect the storage status of equipment, vehicles, and ammunition.
Fortunately.
These problems will be perfectly solved after the sacred tower is established.
What is being built now are the latest models of sacred towers, high energy consumption types, only one of which is large and arrogant.
Ron believed that the God Emperor would be very happy and love these creations to death.
Those sacred towers will frantically extract the energy of the golden sun and create more sacred light to bless the relevant areas.
Under the illumination of the sacred light, the equipment in the arsenal will not only not be corroded, but also be protected, making it even more powerful!
Actually.
After the equipment and vehicles produced in the forging world of the Savior's Territory come off the psychic automated production line, not only the machine soul has to be trained by the Mechanical Goddess program.
They will also be sent to a special venue to be bathed in divine light under the golden sun and the savior’s hymns.
Only after the equipment and vehicles have been exposed to the sun for 13 days can they be anointed with holy oil and be officially packaged and shipped out of the factory to various institutions.
It can be said.
The equipment and vehicles in the Savior’s Territory have the potential to become holy relics, which is a guarantee of quality in the galaxy!
“The logistics department is very fast...”
Ron nodded, very satisfied with the logistics speed of the logistics department.
This way.
After he arrives in Baal, he will be able to distribute equipment more quickly to the Blood Angels and the war groups who come to help.
Give them more time to adapt to the new equipment. While talking.
The armor on the porthole slowly fell down, sealing the cabin, which meant that the Dream was about to enter subspace.
See this.
After finishing the report, Taco bowed and silently retreated. He knew that the savior was ready to rest.
Ron stretched and walked along the back passage into the miniature garden.
There is an environment no less than that of a garden planet and lighting that is no different from the real sun.
He didn't like the feeling of traveling in subspace, so he took this time to have a good sleep under the shade of a tree.
In the airspace.
A rotating subspace channel filled with dark purple arcs appeared.
The Dream sailed towards the passage at a low speed and disappeared in this airspace in an instant...
——
nearby airspace.
The old cruiser jumped out of the subspace, making a creaking sound.
This is a Tyrant-class cruiser produced during the exile period. It is about three kilometers long and has a white ferocious shark mark on the hull.
That represents the name of the ship, the White Mammoth, which is one of the Shark Space Marine Chapter's most valuable possessions.
The Sharks are a nomadic, ship-based Space Marine Chapter loyal to the Imperium.
Known for being brutal and ferocious.
But more famous is their poverty.
The Devouring Shark is not loyal to any one Primarch, nor does it accept the command of the Holy High Lord of Terra, but is loyal only to the Emperor himself.
This also makes it difficult for the Chapter to receive any resource subsidies from the empire, which is even worse than the Son of Man Chapter.
When these brothers and sisters meet, they may hold each other's hands and cry.
Due to various reasons, the man-eating shark has been in a state of exile for thousands of years, often operating in foreign lands, that is, areas outside the empire's territory, to eliminate any enemies of the empire it encounters.
In addition to destroying enemies.
Their more important purpose is to find resources to "subsidize their families."
For example, through the "grey tax", that is, by searching for technological relics in the outer realm and exchanging the equipment and ammunition needed by the Mechanicus for the battle group.
However, they are often subject to price reductions from gold engine oil guys, but there is nothing they can do about it.
After all, that is the most important source of equipment, and only oil guys will collect those messy things.
Of course, enemies are also one of the resources.
After killing the enemy, you can remove the equipment.
The new blood of the Devouring Shark and the replenishment of the group's servants are through the "red tax", that is, randomly picking a planet to catch strong men to replenish related population resources.
However, due to high-intensity fighting and scarce and unstable resource sources, they often fall into a situation of resource shortage.
A bolter is truly passed down from generation to generation, and each one is a pure "holy relic".
After centuries of maintenance, some bolters can even have all their parts replaced. As for the bolter with all the parts replaced, it is still the same bolter.
It is a philosophical question.
Anyway, the warriors of the Man-Eating Shark will swear that yes, it is definitely the original holy relic!
The fact that a Space Marine chapter and the Emperor's Angels could reach this level is enough to make people cry.
Inside the cabin of the battle barge.
The warriors of the man-eating shark come and go.
When they passed through the passage, they were extremely careful to avoid collisions, so as not to scratch and damage the armor they had pieced together and painted with gray paint to pretend to be a complete set.
Although these warriors are extremely brave when fighting the enemy, outside of battle, they will try their best to maintain their precious equipment.
Chapter Leader Tiberos was wearing an ancient Terminator armor, with pale skin, and his black eyes were looking at the holy relics on the table with great concentration.
They were ancient relic gloves named "Hunger" and "Thirst". The power blade with barbs on the gloves was combined with the vicious serrated blade inside to form a very deadly and destructive structure.
Its style and manufacturing method are quite rare, even the Mechanicum is amazed.
This is also his most important weapon. It is almost impossible to copy and regards it as his life.
Tiberos carefully used an oilcloth to stick a little holy oil on it, and then carefully wiped the power blade of the glove and any area to ensure that it was fully maintained.
Maintaining one's own equipment is a compulsory course for all Man-Eating Shark warriors, and it is also one of the greatest joys of their daily lives.
His movements were extremely gentle.
No one can imagine that this is a person with a great reputation.
Tiberos once single-handedly entered a Tyranid ship and dismembered all the bugs inside.
It is said that his eyes have no soul, only deep black.
Some people say that he is a bloody killing machine that is so fast that it is difficult to see with the naked eye, leaving only torn corpses wherever it passes.
What's even scarier is.
He displays extremely precise and deadly intentions in his brutal battles, as if every massacre was calculated in advance rather than the product of rage.
Actually.
With Tiberos's fighting style, he is mainly worried about damaging his precious equipment.
As long as he is fast enough and precise enough to kill the enemy as quickly as possible, he can minimize the loss of equipment.
After Tiberos completed the maintenance procedures, he carefully covered the holy relics with oilcloth.
Think tank director Ti Kahuranji walked in at the right time.
He actually waited for a while.
But it would be impolite to disturb a man-eating shark who was maintaining his equipment, so he didn’t come in.
The director of the think tank came here this time to report on the financial situation and gains of the war group.
During this period, the battle group suffered heavy losses, and their equipment was severely consumed by the operations in the outer realm. If this continued, the battle group would have to go into battle shirtless.
Of course.
The man-eating shark also wrote many times to apply for resources from the empire.
But usually, the exchange of letters between the Devouring Shark and the Empire is roughly as follows:
The Devouring Shark: Requesting material and manpower support from Holy Terra!
Empire: Financial constraints cannot support it, please tighten your belt.
Man-Eating Shark: Please give me the belt...
Empire: I suggest you grab it yourself, thank you!
There is no way, the equipment of the Space Marines is too expensive, and the Holy Terra Interior Ministry and the high lords are unwilling to pay for such a war group.
In order to solve the financial problems of the war group.
Tiberos even sent the captain of the 3rd company and the head of the Librarian to contact the renegade Space Marine pirate warband, the Ember Claws, to make some gray transactions.
"Sir, the harvest from the last exploration of the outer domain was very rich..."
The director of the think tank began his financial report as usual.
Hear the words.
The legendary soulless black eyes of Tiberos shone brightly.
According to the report.
The items obtained from this exploration of the outer domain are:
A void computing cable, 70% usable; a precious ship fragment from the Third Dawn Exploration Expedition, and even less valuable Fei's red amulet.
Through these.
The items they obtained include:
A company's worth of bolters, lots of ammunition, and two Land Raiders, their hulls gleaming silver.
More importantly, they got 6 pieces of Terminator armor!
Although the original quantity was 12 pieces, the result was satisfactory enough, and those oil guys did not lower the price any harder.
The think tank director spent almost a whole day to complete the handover of the equipment, carefully checking every piece of equipment, especially the six pieces of Terminator armor, to ensure that they were in perfect condition.
Tiberos listened with a smile on his face.
Soon, he heard better news. The captain of the third company accepted the challenge of Ash Claw when he went to trade with Ash Claw.
The company commander won three consecutive victories in the duel field and won back an additional batch of children!
This is excellent news.
After.
The director of the think tank talked about this mission to support Barr again. Those bugs are not easy to deal with.
Tiberos gritted his teeth and said:
"That guy Dante must give me some supplies. In addition to regular equipment, at least 12...not 24 pieces of Terminator armor, brand new ones!"
