Chapter 676 Heading Underground
Standard Terran Calendar, 942.M41
Planet Armageddon, Northern Continent, Tires Hive
Announced at Termite Borer At dawn the next day after the transformation was completed, Soshyan summoned the senior commanders of Armageddon and announced his plan
In order to prevent the reluctant allies from adding additional weapons to them as much as possible Trouble, he also invited the local Mechanicus bishop and a small group of his attendants to join the meeting. Soshyan's reputation has been blown away these days, and the guests are very happy to get together with the legendary heroes of the new generation of the empire. .
"Thank you all for attending the meeting on time."
Speaking, Soshyan activated the holographic platform. This time it was finally the turn of an engine priest to operate it, although it seemed that it was boring enough to compete with this device. Integrated into one, but the servants of Omnisiah often do this. They have a set of mysterious rituals that the world cannot understand, such as meditating on the valve stem bolt or something on their left hand.
In order to allow everyone present to fully understand, Soshyan skipped complicated data analysis and directly introduced their next plan.
"We believe that at the current rate, the war on Armageddon will be difficult to end."
"Why?"
Mechanical Bishop interjected.
"Reinforcements will be arriving soon."
"The greenskins are conducting some kind of experiment or ritual that we don't know about."
Soshyan carefully considered said.
“Based on the data provided to us by various parties, unusual energy signals have appeared in several places on the planet recently.”
Although the real analysis relies on the battle group's own intelligence, it is necessary to let them know the real situation.
"Let's think the Greenskins may be carrying out some kind of extermination plan."
"Sounds like we have to be in a hurry."
Commander of the Titan Legion Officer Kurtz Mannheim said slowly, took a sip of his tea, and put it aside in a hurry.
“I also think it is unwise to pin our hopes on reinforcements. We cannot count on help from things that do not yet exist.”
Soshyan did not lie about this. When modifying the termite boring machine, the reconnaissance team did find some unknown energy signals, and they all came from the green skin stronghold.
"If we do not take steps to minimize this possibility, we will fail in the responsibility entrusted to us by the Emperor."
"Maybe so."
The commander of the Iron Corps also chimed in.
"But my lord, you haven't made it clear what the plan is."
"Our plan is to use Armageddon's underground cave network to reach Hades' hive from underground, rescue it from the siege of the greenskins, and use it as a stronghold to build a large teleportation array to launch a war on the main continent. Fight for liberation."
As he spoke, the image on the video screen blurred, and no one could tell whether it was the interference caused by the sudden flying snowflakes or static electricity.
The Engine Priest may know, but he never explains it.
Then, it clearly showed a complex underground cave map, but there were some white spots on it.
"Well, the situation is roughly the same. This operation is completely led by the Chapter."
"I think there's no problem."
The commander of the Titan Legion supported Soshyan as always, and most of the others had no objections, but General Gerrit Linden of the Guards had some different opinions.
"My lord, I have a question."
"But it doesn't matter."
"Why Hades?"
The general pointed at the map, and then the servitor on the side handed him an infrared light, allowing him to mark the area he wanted to express with red dots.
“Whether it is in terms of geographical location or importance, Hades is far inferior to the Helrichs Nest. Although I don’t want to say this, Hades was besieged for five months. The situation is already dire, but Herchiris still has enough troops and a complete military factory, and it will be easier to organize a subsequent counterattack. "
In fact, Soshiyang had expected that someone would ask this.
So he turned to the holographic platform and called up a more detailed terrain map. The rows of mountains and nests on the ground were rising and falling like bubble balls in the bathtub, and the crisscrossing tunnels underground were also the same. The tunnels were dizzying, at least hundreds of kilometers long, like the twisted intestines of the Tyranids. Soshyan selected the main tunnels for presentation.
"Because not all underground cave passages are walkable. In fact, there are very few main roads. We have not found the direct road to Haerrichs, and we have no time to look for it anymore."
"That's it."
Grit Linden nodded in realization.
"Thank you for your explanation, sir."
"When the operation is launched, Chapter Commander Randall will exercise command authority on my behalf, and everyone needs to assist him in the operation."
Everyone present nodded, and Soshyan turned his perspective back to the underground passages, highlighting some deeper tunnels.
“If the plan goes well, we will arrive at the Hades Hive in a week. At that time, our army can launch a large-scale attack on the edge of the jungle to divert the green skin’s attention.”
< br>"Understood."
Soon, the meeting ended, everyone dispersed, and Soshyan was about to lead the team underground.
“It’s troublesome to do things with mortals. You have to have meetings to do anything.”
After everyone left, Talos slowly walked to the refreshment table. He had been struggling to hide his figure before - according to his situation, he wanted to do it without attracting people's attention in the current situation. Like Ogryn trying to hide at the dance.
Soshiyang smiled and said nothing, and took a sip of the warm and fragrant imported alien tea that could not be named.
“By the way, isn’t that Miss Inquisitor who dresses sexy every day here?”
Hearing Talos’ words, Soshyan shook his head.
“She doesn’t want others to know her existence, including Randall and the others. I guess this is their professional habit.”
"Then what are you going to do when you get there?"
Talos' words contained some dangerous hint, and Soshyan certainly heard it.
He put down the cup calmly and chuckled:
"Taros, what do you think the position of a judge who is trying to explore the supreme power of subspace would be."< br>
“Oh? Do you suspect she is a heretic?”
"Even if it's not, it's not too different. There are many factions in the Inquisition, and some of them are very radical. Maybe she is the kind of radical Inquisitor."
"So what is your plan?"
Looking at the bottomed tea cup, Soshyan shook his head.
"Just play it by ear. If it gets to that point, I will give you a hint."
"Hey, you are pure, I will do all the dirty work."
"Of course this is the last step. Before that, don't get too close to her. The judge has a very keen sense of smell and may see something."
"I understand~"
At this time, the foundry master of White Temple walked into the conference room and brought a message.
"All machines have been debugged and are ready to go."
Soshiyang nodded and stood up.
"Let's go, Talos."
