Chapter 980 Everyone has their own thoughts
Since the war began, the 11th Company has lost 12 people and seriously injured 1 person. The 10th Company supporting Fortress No. 6 has lost 6 people and seriously injured 2 people. It is responsible for the main force of Fortress No. 7. The second company on the defensive mission suffered the most casualties, with 19 killed and 5 seriously injured, while the third company defending Fortress 5 suffered 2 casualties. Only the first company had no casualties because it had not yet gone to the surface of the planet to fight.
Overall, the Astral Knights have killed 39 warriors and 10 seriously wounded. Whether any of them need to enter the Dreadnought Mecha depends on the subsequent treatment of the pharmacist, but basically in this battle They can no longer be counted as combat effectiveness during the battle, so the Astral Knights lost 49 people.
The loss of half a company, based on the current wealth of the Astral Knights, is equivalent to a loss of 10% of the strength. It is already a heavy loss. Even the chapter has not recovered from the last battle with the Minotaur Chapter. Recovering from combat losses.
What’s more important is that among the 49 people here, 4 of them followed Soshyan out of the Obsidian Fortress. Most of them have become non-commissioned officers. After losing them, the "old" star There are only 7 world knights left, namely Soshyan, Ustad, Farzad, Armin, Yazdan, Balitaem, and Rogris.
This made Soshyan very sad and a little scared. He didn't know where this fear came from, but he just felt that something important was slipping away from him.
He often talks about the Renaissance Legion, but when he is alone, he also thinks about it.
What about the war group?
For thousands of years the banner of the Astral Knights has been flying in the empire, generations of warriors have fought and sacrificed for it, and most of them are unaware of the existence of the 11th Legion.
When he realized that he was replacing the original Astral Knights with another chapter culture, Soshyan occasionally felt hesitant, and he even felt that he was destroying the Astral Knights.
While he served and became a warrior, he was only an Astral Knight, not a descendant of the 11th Legion.
When one day his soul returns to the throne, perhaps the Emperor will pity him, but what about the martyrs of those Chapters?
When they ask where the war group is going, how should I answer?
But the battle group is already what it is now, and Soshyan himself can no longer change it. Once certain things are on track, it cannot be deflected by human power.
Therefore, he became particularly precious about the remaining people and things of the old Astral Knights.
"Valier, do everything you can to save the lives of these two people, no matter what method you use. If they have any doubts, just say it was my order."
After reading the casualty report with sadness, he asked Shiyan gave new orders to Pharmacist Valier, and the two people he was referring to were two seriously injured old Astral Knight sergeants.
Valier’s reply was also very quick.
"I will try my best, but I must be prepared to add two Dreadnoughts to the battle group."
"You can use the Dreadnoughts in the armory as you wish."
After making arrangements for the treatment of the wounded, Soshyan turned his attention to another secret report.
The initiator of the report is Thor, and the task assigned to him by Soshyan is to find the entrance to the webway that exists on the planet.
Because the planet is now full of forces from all sides, this matter must be kept extremely confidential, there cannot be too many people, and it must go deep into the area occupied by the enemy. After thinking about it, Soshiyang finally discovered that the war Only Thor and Talos in the group are qualified.
But Talos must lead the Eleventh Company, so the only candidate left is Thor.
Saul also readily agreed to the matter, and did not bring anyone with him. He only asked Soshyan for temporary command authority of the cyborg YT-001.
In this way, one man and one machine used the chaos to sneak into the area occupied by the Black Legion while the battle was launched.
Thor has been away for two months. During this period, communication has been silent for the sake of confidentiality. It was not until the fortress war was launched and the planet was completely in chaos that he sent the first text message to Soshyan.
The content of the text message is also very simple, just a few sentences.
"The entrance has not yet been found, but several Eldar ruins have been discovered. However, recent observations have found that demonic activities have intensified. This planet may undergo drastic changes, and we should respond early." Sosh, the first two sentences Yang was mentally prepared, after all, it was not easy for one person to find such a hidden alien relic, but what he said next made Soshiyang fall into thinking.
Thor's words were very vague. He didn't quite understand what "dramatic change" meant, but since the other party said so, based on his understanding and trust in Thor, there must be a reason for it.
At this time, he remembered the report that Kayon gave him.
The demon Mardel has begun to act, and seems to have found a way to deal with the gray marrow. Ustad almost suffered a loss,
"Veronica, I want to go to the surface of the planet. Command.”
Finally, he made his decision.
"This way, even if there is any emergency, I can respond in time, and you can stay on track."
When facing the huge subspace threat, Soshiyan knew that he was the leader of the battle group. The backbone, as for the Gray Knights, I can't command them at all, and I can't put my hope in them.
"No, I'll go with you."
Veronica looked at Soshyan calmly.
“You’re going to need my help.”
Soshyan suddenly smiled.
"Then you have to restrain your power. I don't want others to know that I have a witch with me. Others will mistakenly think that I am imitating Abaddon. I heard Khayon say, "The Great Plunder" The reporter was often alone in the room with the white lady day and night, and there were a lot of gossip at first. "
"Don't worry."
Said Veronica suddenly. Frowning.
“Where are those Gray Knights?”
"Ignore them."
"They feel sneaky to me. When we first met, I felt a spiritual power spying on the entire battleship, and this happened from time to time. ."
Soshiyang sighed, of course he knew what the Gray Knights had done.
These monitors of heretical forces are not only monitoring this world and the mortals above, including the Astartes participating in the battle, it seems that they are also within the scope of their surveillance.
It’s just that they did it very covertly, so Soshiyang just pretended not to see it. He believed that the Dark Angel should also know about it.
But since we are on the same battlefield, it is not easy to break up. As long as it is not too much, we can only tolerate each other.
As for the Dark Angels, they are not restless. At least Soshyan knows that. Their interrogation priests often break away from the main army to do secret things, probably looking for the fallen ones in their imaginations. Angel.
Everyone has their own secrets, so they maintain a diplomatic boundary and try not to touch each other's bottom line. This situation has resulted in several war groups only maintaining basic contact.
However, after catching a big fish in Fortress No. 7, Soshyan believed that this situation should end.
They must fight together in a true sense to hope to withstand Abaddon's next fierce counterattack.
