Chapter 345 Blood Angel: Ah, are these for us? !
"You are right..."
The director of the think tank nodded: "Although the Baal Galaxy is barren, the Blood Angels should still be able to afford these things, and they will definitely not refuse. Our request.”
After all, the man-eating shark is a brother who has come all the way to support us.
The Blood Angels are not that rich and are considered poor among large war groups, but even if they cannot meet all the supply requests of the Devouring Sharks, they will give more or less.
At least it can alleviate the financial crisis of the war group.
Since the Man-Eating Shark has no home planet as a base, it also has no financial supplies from the empire.
Not only was he reduced to making gray deals with pirate war gangs, but the dignified Captain Shark also went to engage in black boxing in order to get some resources.
Duel with the Chaos Space Marines.
I am so poor that I am almost wearing my pants, and I have fallen into a vicious cycle of getting poorer and poorer.
certainly.
If the man-eating sharks stopped fighting and fought fewer battles, these problems would be greatly alleviated.
But that is impossible.
The man-eating shark cannot stop fighting and its sacred mission of destroying the enemies of mankind, otherwise there would be no need to exist.
So.
After they received the Blood Angel's request for help, they rushed over immediately
The director of the think tank sighed slightly and continued to report:
"Sir, we have recently completed the harvest and battle A comprehensive statistical analysis of the damage situation, the results are not optimistic..."
Chapter leader Tiberos suddenly raised his head.
He asked tremblingly:
"Your Majesty, have we lost more money?"
The director of the think tank nodded: "Yes, we have lost more money than before in the outer realm..."
>Hear the words.
The black eyes of this ruthless chapter leader seemed to have lost their souls, as if the sky had fallen: "Alas, the life of the man-eating shark is almost over..."
He looked at the think tank director:
"You are the brains and wisdom of the war group. I beg you to come up with a solution quickly!"
"Sir, I have tried my best. Why don't you find another think tank to manage the finances..."< br>
The director of the think tank said indifferently, and immediately smashed it.
He was so worried about financial problems that he had no time to meditate.
Every day, I work hard to find new sources of resources, control expenditures, and even reduce the research funding of myself and the think tank apprentices by more than half.
Still unable to do anything.
He should not have accepted the invitation to join the Man-Eating Shark in the first place, otherwise he would have become famous in the wealthy war group!
The director of the think tank complained secretly in his heart.
But that was just a complaint. His feelings for the man-eating shark were no less than anyone else.
He looked at the Chapter Leader:
"Sir, I have warned you long ago that coming back from the outside world is not a wise choice, but you don't believe it. Now the facts prove that you should believe in the wisdom of the think tank!"
Tiberos was unable to refute and had to sigh. Said: "Who would have thought that the empire would become so poor..."
In order to break out of the vicious circle of getting poorer and poorer.
He did not hesitate to violate the tradition of the chapter and temporarily led five companies of soldiers from the outer lands back to the empire's borders to work.
Come to support some imperial planets that are attacked by heretics and aliens, hoping to get more supplies.
This can not only eliminate human enemies, but also solve the problem of man-eating sharks.
Unexpectedly, those planets are getting poorer than the other and cannot provide decent supplies. In particular, the resources required by the Space Marines are relatively expensive, and many planets simply cannot afford them.
But since they accepted the other party's request for help, they could not ignore it, otherwise they would violate their faith and loyalty to the emperor.
So they had no choice but to fight hard.
After several battles, the battle group's losses were greater than those in the outer realm.
Just like last time.
The man-eating shark finally captured a planet that was relatively wealthy in historical records and assisted the local governor in eliminating the threat of gene stealers.
After the fight was over, I found that the supplies provided by the opponent were so meager.
It’s almost like sending away a beggar.
This made Tiberos feel humiliated. He grabbed the governor and questioned him, and ordered the other party to provide more resources.
However.
The governor said that this was all the resources they could muster, and there was really no way to pay more.
I hope the angels can forgive me.
Tiberos was furious.
He thought he had been deceived, so he led his soldiers to break into the treasure house of the governor's palace and prepare to loot it.
Make a fortune once and for all.
However, what I didn’t expect was that the palace treasury was so empty that a mouse could run away, and there was almost nothing of value.
When the governor saw this scene, he lost his arrogance and elegance, and completely lost his aristocratic demeanor.
He burst into tears and told the truth.
Tiberos then learned that this planet was indeed relatively wealthy in history.
But that was all before.
Since the empire raised the tax level of this planet decades ago, it has been unable to make ends meet.
The governor had to sell off the property in the family treasury to make up for the shortfall in the tithe.
To save your life.
In recent years, the Regent has launched the Indomitable Expedition.
In order to make up for the financial gap caused by the Indomitus Crusade, the Empire levied additional taxes on these wealthy planets, making the situation on the planets even worse.
The governor frowned and told Tiberius.
They really can’t afford any more compensation, and even the next tithe tax may not be enough!
See this.
Tiberos had no choice but to spare the governor's life. He always had a different kind of tolerance for poor people.
After all, that guy is poorer than me, and he might get bombed next time because he can't pay taxes, so just forgive him once.
The Governor prayed to the angels of the Shark, hoping that they could report the situation on this planet to Holy Terra in order to lower the tithe level.
Otherwise, if we pay a few more rounds of taxes, the planet will be destroyed!
To this.
There is nothing Tiberos can do. The influence of the man-eating shark in Holy Terra is almost non-existent, and his rash suggestion may have counter-effects.
But the chapter leader still thought of a way.
He told the governor that he could report more losses, saying that the planet's population and property had been plundered by man-eating sharks.
Only in this way can the court and relevant agencies pay close attention to it and get the opportunity to re-evaluate and reduce taxes.
Actually.
The empire’s tithe is not too cruel.
It is basically set based on the bearing capacity of the planet. For some planets that cannot afford it due to disasters, they will be re-evaluated and given a level of 11 taxes that they can afford.
But the law is a law, but it changes when it is implemented.
Some overwhelmed planets have indeed issued applications for re-evaluation, but they may not be seen by those responsible for handling the matter for decades or even hundreds of years.
Or you may see it and don’t want to take responsibility or take care of it.
Even if some assessment applications are seen and entered into the execution process, by the time someone is sent to complete the process, no one knows how many years have passed.
It doesn’t matter whether those planets are still there or not.
So, the law exists, and whether it can be re-evaluated falls within the scope of metaphysics.
Often only a very small number of planets that are lucky or have the support of nobles can be re-evaluated and the tithe tax reduced.
Tiberos's suggestion was to find another way and choose to let the man-eating shark take the blame to attract the empire's attention.
When people from the Inquisition and other institutions rush over, no one will be able to ignore the demands of this planet, especially when it comes to the Imperial Angels.
In this case, the planet will most likely be re-evaluated for the tithe tax.
The governor heard Tiberos's suggestion.
As if he saw hope, he knelt down with tears in his eyes, grateful for the mercy of the Emperor's Angel.
Angels saved the people of this planet again!
But when the governor raised his head, he saw the unkind eyes of the man-eating shark angels.
Tiberos beat the governor violently and asked the director of the think tank to personally erase the governor's memory in order to cope with the review of the Inquisition.
After.
He also led the man-eating sharks to plunder some resources and people in the local area.
Go away.
It seems to Tiberos that the man-eating shark has taken the blame for this planet, so it must collect some interest, right?
The governor got a tax break, and the man-eating shark got some resources without any burden.
This is a win-win situation.
As for the investigation by the Tribunal, he was not too worried.
The man-eating shark has long been notorious.
In some dark and cruel legends, they are extremely cruel, like to kill humans, and even kill the entire population of the galaxy.
However in reality.
Much of this is not the shark's responsibility.
Such as the Badab War.
The man-eating sharks who returned from the outside world were accepted into the Empire's army to fight against the renegade Space Marines.
They followed the scorched earth strategy of the high-ranking noble commanders and attacked the traitorous planets one after another with the Imperial Army and the Fire Angel Chapter.
The man-eating shark performed its task perfectly.
They destroyed major infrastructure on command and dispatched any enemy who stood in their way with brutal ferocity.
Finally crushed all the traitors.
Of course.
This war also paid a price. The fierce fighting led to the destruction of several planets.
However.
After the Man-Eating Shark took the loot and left as agreed, the empire dumped all the blame on the Man-Eating Shark, causing it to suffer a lot of criticism.
Become infamous.
To this.
Tiberos is also very numb.
As the main force, the Fire Angel Chapter did something similar to the Man-Eating Sharks. In the end, they not only gained the right to rule the galaxy, but also sealed up all the dark legends about them.
Become an angel who saves the galaxy.
He just came to help. The order was given by the empire, and everyone fought the war together, but he took all the blame.
Not to mention.
The man-eating sharks did not achieve much benefit. They only plundered the property in the traitor Space Marine fortress.
That was the agreement made.
An even more unjust evidence is that the man-eating shark plundered an entire generation of young people in the galaxy.
How many people can the man-eating sharks carry in just those broken boats?
Even if it is full, it cannot take many people away, and it cannot afford the material needs of so many people.
True. The man-eating shark indeed took away a group of people, threw those people into the arena to participate in trials, and selected those who survived to become new blood.
But that is by no means the reason for the empire to criticize and judge them.
Due to lack of population and poverty.
The requirements for the man-eating shark to select new blood are already very low. It is just an arena duel, which is about one draw out of ten.
When large war groups select new blood, they often summon young people from an entire planet or even a galaxy to participate in several brutal trials before finally entering the arena.
After these processes, there are often mountains of corpses.
The Man-Eating Shark only has about a thousand Space Marines. Each time it replenishes new blood, it can only invest so many people, and it is only one out of ten, which is already very conservative.
The process by which some planetary governors select their guards is more cruel than this.
In short, Tiberos felt that he was wronged.
He has seen the shamelessness of the imperial nobles and decided not to get involved in these things.
After supporting Baal.
He led the man-eating sharks back to the outer realm and stopped paying attention to the empire's troubles!
After the director of the think tank reported the situation of the man-eating shark, the giant white slogan also located Barr's location and set sail again.
At this moment.
The cabin was shaking violently, and the roar of the engine could be clearly heard.
The ship's power engine was like an asthma patient, dragging the ship forward with difficulty.
Tiberos stabilized his figure.
He raised his head to look at the director of the think tank, and said earnestly:
"Go and remind those boys who are sailing the boat again, and ask them to be gentle and careful when sailing, don't let this This old thing fell apart.”
This old Tyrant-class cruiser is already the most dignified car of the Man-Eating Shark.
In case it falls apart.
From now on, he, a dignified chapter leader, can only travel by frigate or battle barge.
That would be so embarrassing...
Soon.
The Geller force field with a huge white slogan rose, and black smoke emitted from its butt as it entered the subspace passage.
——
The depths of the extreme star field.
The red scar opened the bloody curtain.
The aging supergiant star is imprisoned in this red prison, sending heat to the sparse planets around it.
Making this wild area full of radiation even more unsuitable for people to survive.
In fact, the red scar area is unfit for any human habitation.
It’s not just the scarcity of water.
Deadly red mist that can obscure the sun often appears on some planets.
But because there are some scarce resources here, coupled with some kind of religious belief, there are still many humans living here.
Rely on your own genes or certain drugs to resist the terrible radiation.
But even so, their bodies still suffered from varying degrees of pathology and suffered from common cancers.
For people with red scar areas.
Cancer is just a common disease, just like hunger, it is a normal part of life.
But all this is not without hope of change.
In addition to the deformed mortals, there are also a group of angels living here. They have fair skin, handsome faces, and powerful bodies that are pure and flawless and free from deformations.
As long as you go through a test that is more painful than death and survive successfully, you can become one of them
This is the Baal Galaxy.
And those angels are the descendants of Sanguinius - the Blood Angels.
Today.
Talon accumulated the fury of revenge and locked onto this area.
Dante, the leader of the Blood Angels Chapter, issued a rallying order, summoning all the descendants of Sanguinius and the brothers who could support them to defend this sacred mother star.
At this moment.
Bar's cloudless red sky is filled with the cross-trails left by shuttles.
The blunt-nosed assault ships of the Space Marines crowded the anchorage in orbit, and dozens of battle barges were arranged in narrow formations, forming a long line.
The descendants of Saint Gilliam have arrived.
On the orbital anchorage platform, the servants of the Blood Angels were eagerly entertaining the coming sub-regiment warriors.
Guide them to the monastery.
Most of the warriors of these sub-groups have old armor, and it seems that the descendants of Sanguinius are not having a hard time.
A certain sub-regiment disembarked from a small battle barge carrying a broken yellow battle flag that had been repaired many times.
The yellow armor on their bodies is full of signs of damage, and their faces show sadness.
But he exuded an indomitable momentum.
The blood servants paid homage to the warriors of the Sons of Sanguinius and silently mourned their tragic fate in their hearts.
I heard that this sub-regiment was ambushed again during the battle and lost most of its soldiers, equipment and combat barges.
This made the already difficult battle group even worse.
Suddenly.
Boundless shadows covered the entire anchorage and all the battle barges.
Such a change made the blood servants scream in surprise.
They looked up and saw an unimaginably huge fleet, each one larger than a battle barge and shining brightly.
The appearance of such a steel behemoth in the airspace is undoubtedly terrifying.
But the blood servants soon smiled.
Because they saw a familiar sign, that was the fleet of the great savior!
To be more precise, it is the savior's transport fleet.
Different from the sub-groups who don’t know why.
When the Blood Angels saw the arrival of the transport ship, they all felt inexplicable excitement and anticipation.
In the battle of the Hades galaxy, they felt the majesty and grandeur of the savior, and knew well what was carried on these transport ships.
It will be rich equipment and materials that they can't imagine.
As for the Redemption Armed Fleet, they have already deployed defenses in the area around Baal.
Soon.
The blood servants followed the Lord's guidance and mobilized the orbital air defense.
Let the Savior’s transport fleet pass freely.
According to Dante's words, the Baal galaxy is handed over to the savior. That being can do whatever he wants, as long as Baal is not completely blown up.
Planet surface.
A sacred building larger than a city stands around an extinct volcano in the middle of the blood-red desert.
That is the monastery of the Blood Angels.
On the high wall of the "Ax Wall" built along the edge of the ancient crater, tall defensive towers were built.
The Angel Dome's vast, triangular, armored glass dome of several square kilometers has been closed, covering the ancient crater with impenetrable diamond.
The interior of the extinct volcano has also undergone tremendous changes. The interior has been excavated and developed into one area after another, and buttresses shaped into giant angels surround the interior.
Thousands of gleaming windows are interspersed between the walls.
There are passages one after another here, allowing you to go to any area without any obstruction.
In a warehouse area on the periphery.
Blood Angels First Captain Karan breathed a sigh of relief and used an oilcloth dipped in holy oil to wipe the leg armor of a large piece of equipment.
He took a step back and looked at the Destroyer Centurion Armor with satisfaction.
After careful polishing and application of holy oil.
The entire armor is so sacred and majestic under the light.
Karaen couldn't put it down, and loved the feeling of driving it to conquer the enemy.
It is truly a creation given by the Savior, and the driving experience is simply unparalleled.
He looked up and sighed piously: "Praise the Savior!"
At this moment, there were another two hundred Centurion armors parked behind them. These sacred armors were Blood Angels's!
After the Hades Galaxy War ended.
The Savior saw that the Blood Angels were reluctantly wearing these armors as if they were treasures, so he had no heart to take them back.
Instead, he gave them all to them with a wave of his hand, which moved the Blood Angel warriors deeply.
After this period of experience, the Savior has gained unrivaled prestige within the Blood Angels.
It can be said.
These descendants of Sanguinius are about to take on the shape of the Savior.
Suddenly.
Karan heard the roar outside the warehouse and received contact from the Savior's logistics department.
Ask them to come out and receive supplies.
After Karan received the communication, he jogged all the way to the door of the warehouse.
“Emperor!”
The scene in front of him stunned the first company commander.
The square area at the entrance is already filled with equipment and supplies. Centurion armors stand one after another, almost as far as the eye can see. Next to them are mountains of armor boxes, almost all of which are Terminator armors.
The other pile of higher mountains contains ordinary armor, bolt guns, power swords and other equipment, as well as countless ammunition.
These inestimable pieces of equipment were piled on the ground so casually!
Not far away.
There are also construction machinery that continuously unloads goods from the transport ship to the ground at extremely fast speeds.
Karan seemed to be shocked and a little dazed.
All the Blood Angels’ equipment combined can’t compare to these, right?
"Hello, Mr. Karan, I am Fuli, the person in charge of this logistics..."
A gentle female voice sounded.
Fuli looked at the First Company Commander and reminded: "Twenty thousand sets of Space Marine supporting equipment and 2,500 Centurion armors have been shipped. Please sign for them..."
She handed the data pad to the other person and motioned for him to sign.
“Emperor, savior, are all these equipments given to us?!”
Karan roared in his heart.
That is the wealth that the Blood Angels have never had before, and their backs are hardened!
He suppressed his inner excitement, glanced at the "Equipment Mountain" again, swallowed and asked: "Ms. Fuli, look at the number of these equipments...it seems that there are more than 20,000 sets, right?"
He took a cursory look and saw that there were more than 20,000 sets of armor and equipment in front of him.
That is at least several times the number, enough to arm tens of thousands of space warriors!
Not to mention there are more equipment and vehicles being unloaded.
Hear the words.
Fuli frowned, a little nervous:
"Could it be that there was an error in the logistics delivery? We need to be held accountable!"
