Chapter 879 Bad News from afar
Not long after Soshyan returned to Nessen IV on the brand new Eternal Loyalty, he suddenly heard that a merchant ship had arrived from Armageddon and brought bad news.
Yarrick led the expeditionary force to the Crucifixion to intercept the green-skinned Bonecrushers a year ago. At first, they fought consecutively, but they were defeated in the final decisive battle. The entire expeditionary force was almost completely destroyed. Overturned!
The top commander of the expeditionary force, political commissar Yarek, is even more unclear about his life or death.
When he first heard the news, Soshyan was shocked. He never expected that things would develop like this.
Afterwards, he checked in many ways and was finally convinced that the news was true.
Yarrick really defeated the Crucifixion!
The loss in that battle was not only his personal loss, but also nearly 700,000 elite troops, countless artillery vehicles, and hundreds of super-heavy armors.
Honestly, even if Yarrick is alive, I am afraid Terra will not let him have an easy time.
But Soshiyang had a vague feeling that this political commissar would not die so easily, and the emperor must have other plans for him.
However, the Calvary Star is at the edge of the Sun Star Field, very far away from Nessen 4. Even if Soshiyang sends people there now, I am afraid it is too late. Moreover, the greenskins have just won a big victory and are in great momentum. Even Terra High Leader The masters have no good way to deal with the Bonebreakers at the moment, so sending only one or two companies of the Astral Knights may not be enough.
In the end, he could only sit back and watch the subsequent development of the situation, but he still had to send people to Terra to inquire about the news, and if necessary, he had to contact the Imperial Fists to see if Rick could be saved One life.
Just to inquire about the information, a mortal servant is enough, so Soshyan left this matter to Ustad.
Then he devoted himself wholeheartedly to the reorganization of the Astral Knights.
In this reorganization, the main focus is on new recruits.
During Soshiyang's long-term leadership, he discovered that the original Holy Code organization, which allowed recruits to serve as scouts, actually had certain limitations.
Reconnaissance is the most important preparation before a battle, and is even related to the success or failure of the entire campaign. It is obviously not very suitable for a group of recruits to do such an important job. Although it can train the recruits, it does not provide tactical command. The official brought a lot of pressure.
If the reconnaissance is wrong or the enemy ambushes, it will have a huge impact on the entire tactical deployment.
In this regard, Soshyan agrees more with the Space Wolves' tactical philosophy, that is, reconnaissance should be the job of veterans.
And after the recruits come out of the 10th Company, in most cases they will enter the tactical company and become a member of the tactical team. At this time, they have to learn the relevant knowledge and skills of frontal combat.
Of course, infiltration operations are indispensable for the Astartes, but judging from the current combat style and equipment level of the Astral Knights, most of the time the Chapter mainly focuses on assault operations and frontal operations, and large-scale infiltration operations are relatively rare. .
Therefore, in order to effectively shorten the service process of recruits and reduce unnecessary waste of time, Soshyan made certain modifications to the battle group structure.
The Tenth Company is still a recruit company, but it will no longer be responsible for the main reconnaissance mission. Reconnaissance will become one of many courses.
The new recruit company will fight in conjunction with the veteran company in subsequent battles in order to become familiar with the frontal combat methods as soon as possible and shorten the training time required to wear power armor - currently there is not much in the Astral Knights, just power armor many.
After so many rounds of combat, Soshyan realized that being elite was right, but in many cases, quantity was really, really important.
There are too many examples of Astartes being overwhelmed by superior numbers of enemies.
More importantly, there has been some news from the Pai Shang planet. Signs of heresy riots have begun to appear on the planet. It is estimated that something big will happen soon.
Expand the army, expand the army, expand the army!
The only thing Soshiyang thinks about now is this. Only when the number of warriors is large enough can he be more certain to win every next battle!
As for who will be assigned the main reconnaissance mission——
Only officers above the company level of the battle group have the right to know about this matter, because it is a company secretly formed by Soshyan and will not appear in the battle group's establishment, which is the so-called eleventh company. Even as Soshyan returned to Nessen IV, the company was conducting its first operation since its formation -
Standard Terran Calendar, 950.M41
< br>The Storm Star Territory, the Lenscher Galaxy, and the Ice Point Nine Planet
The opened subspace rift has slowly healed, and a wisp of midnight-like light floated on the flameout nozzle, completely not exposing the ship. The existence of a slender battleship.
Right in front of this battleship is a world slowly rotating in the void of space.
The gray desert and desolate continent form the main tone of this world. Even an untrained eye can tell with just a glance that this world is dead and desolate, but it also contains another kind of potential. , this potential is not to nourish life, but to be able to obtain precious ores through labor.
The only evidence of human existence hangs in orbit: a huge copper-grey platform depressingly extends its docking arm into the void, and the main body of the space station has the word loyalty engraved in Gothic font.
The battleship first hovered in the void, like a hungry beast staring directly at its prey, and then it began to slide slowly——
In its blade shape In his body, a destructive force is brewing.
"I'm so exhausted——"
Jack Ma collapsed on the sofa, took off his greasy blue work clothes with the ant logo on it with difficulty, and then did nothing but stop himself. Please - just lie down for a little while, he really can't move.
He didn't even bother to kick off his boots.
The sixteen-hour shift was not the most painful work for him, but it was very close to the concept of "the most painful".
Leaning on the dirty sofa and tilting his head back, Jack let his lungs take a gulp of the stuffy air in the cabin. At the same time, he felt the pain in his ribs caused by taking a deep breath, and then smelled a few Food cartons that should have been thrown out days ago and the ever-present smell of unwashed socks.
This is truly a sweet home.
When he finished sighing, he ran his thumbs through his closed eyes, trying to remove the sting from staring at the clanking conveyor belt all day.
But the pain cannot be eliminated.
Jack Ma groaned exaggeratedly and turned around to get the remote control panel scattered on the ground.
After a few clicks, he reconnected the battery pack and kept poking the loosened button with his fingertips.
Oddly enough, it only took a few seconds this time.
The screen mounted on the opposite wall immediately flashed - almost like that.
It showed a jagged distortion, and then a guy dressed like a clown - or so it seemed to Jack Ma - appeared on a screen filled with snowflakes.
“The sixteen-hour work system is a blessing given to us by the emperor. If you want to have a bright future, if you don’t want to be eliminated, then you must work hard. Labor is freedom. Sweat is glory, laziness is the root of all corruption.”
If this guy is in front of him, Jackma will definitely punch him.
But before he could change the channel, the screen disappeared.
Then he pressed the remote control.
No image, no sound, nothing.
