Chapter 1072 The belated Gray Knight
Looking at the angels who decided the fate of the empire from a distance, Stryker suddenly realized what he had overlooked.
It seems——
A group of people wearing silver armor didn’t show up?
But he didn't dare to say this kind of thing, because someone had secretly warned him that everything about those people was top secret, and if it was leaked, he would definitely die.
Stryker is not afraid of death, but he does not want to die at the gunpoint of an inquisitor or anyone else.
The discussion among the Chapter Masters continued, and occasionally they would call the people they needed, such as a naval representative or a senior officer of the Astra Militarum. Stryker felt that he was not capable of participating, so he kept Hovering on the edge.
Then he saw Colonel Rafa Walton of the Vostonian 116th Armored Regiment, so he stopped to talk to him.
He has only known this person for a week, but they have already been able to talk happily, mainly because in Stryker's opinion, Vostonians are the kind of people who are closer to Kata. Chang temper type.
Although their respective worlds are very different.
Catachan is a hot jungle world, while Vostonia is mostly covered in ice and snow.
The Vostonian Regiment is also called the First Son Regiment. The origin of this unit can be traced back to the period after the Great Rebellion.
Vostonia was an industrially developed planet during the Great Crusade. It was located near the Halo Star Group in the Obscurity Star Field. As an important industrial manufacturing center, Vostonia provided important weapons and equipment to the armed forces of the Human Empire. ammunition.
But after the Horus Heresy broke out, the Empire was in desperate need of any loyal world to send troops to defend the Empire from the threat of Warmaster Horus and the Traitor Legions, but Vostonia refused, Because Vostonia believes that the world's foundries continue to provide weapons to the empire is the way to truly serve the empire, and mobilizing so many people will undoubtedly reduce production efficiency and fail to produce enough weapons.
Although Vostonia did not rebel, their behavior was no different from betrayal in the eyes of many people.
After the Horus Heresy, the Empire also began to liquidate various worlds, which naturally included Vostonia.
When they faced the wrath of the Primarch Guilliman, Vostonia frankly explained how he was loyal to the Empire. The Primarch tolerated the world, but Vostonia must be responsible for their Actions pay a price. From then on, every Vostonian family was required to send their eldest son to join the Astra Militarum, and this was true for every Vostonian family, high or low.
But this is not enough. For every ten solar hours of work of every worker on Vostonia, one solar hour is dedicated to providing equipment for the Firstborn Regiment. They all work with perseverance and determination. Donate your time to serve the eldest son group.
The quality of the weapons they produce is impeccable, because the First Sons have their sons and daughters, their brothers, their only hope for salvation, so the weapons that the First Sons bring to the battlefield and install on their vehicles are not in large quantities They are not mass-produced goods, but are exquisitely crafted weapons carefully crafted by craftsmen.
Thanks to the harsh climate of Vostonia, the Firstborn Regiment will train in the harshest environment. They continue to improve their combat skills in the collapsed ruins, and because of the group of mechanical weapons in Vostonia, The triumvirate of technocracy, composed of religious officials and nobles, is responsible for ruling and managing the entire planet, so the color of the uniforms of the Firstborn tends to be the red of Mars.
The 116th Armored Regiment of Vostonia had just been dispatched to the Pavilion Planet not long before it had time to engage in ground combat.
"I heard that all the locals on the ground have rebelled? This is the last thing we want to happen."
Colonel Walton whispered to Stryker:
< br>"What do you think of them?"
"It's hard to say, some of them are tenacious warriors, but more of them. To be honest, they are damn lazy, except of course Apart from being lazy, the most troublesome thing is that they are also superstitious. They are the most superstitious people I have ever met. They will be scared to death if there are any rumors about wizards. When Chaos first invaded, the whole planet was in chaos. "
"I also heard that they performed very well under your leadership. I read the battle report on Paidu last year. It seems that even the Astartes commented that you played a key role in the early stages of the battle."< br>
“Well, everyone has their highlight moments, don’t take a moment as eternity.”
At this time, Stryker noticed that Colonel Walton was looking over his shoulder, staring at something. look.
"Do you feel like a thorn in your back? It seems like someone is talking about you."
"Huh?"
"That Cadian? What an arrogant piece of shit."
Strike didn't look back.
“Let me guess, is he a man with deep eyes and as strong as an ox?”
“Don’t they all look like this?”
“But even if they are By their Cadian standards, this man looks outstanding.”
"Do you know him?" "Not very well, and I'm too lazy to get to know him."
"Now it's your turn to talk secretly behind their backs."
History Trek smiled, but it was dark.
“Shouldn’t we discuss it together?”
At this time, everyone saw an astral knight hurriedly approach the strategy room, went straight to several chapter leaders, and then whispered something.
Soon the loudspeaker in the strategy room rang.
"Except for the Astartes, please step out for a moment."
There was no explanation, but everyone obeyed.
The same goes for Stryker.
However, the excellent hearing he had developed in the jungle helped him hear someone's annoyed complaints among the chaotic voices.
".What are those Gray Knights doing!?"
Not long after many mortals left, the Gray Knights mentor Joan Herold arrived in embarrassment from the secret passage. Strategy room.
To say he was in embarrassment is actually not an exaggeration at all, because not only was his armor in tatters, but even the arm armor on his left arm was completely stripped off, revealing a bloody arm, and there was also a lot of blood and blood on his face. scar.
But Soshyan had no sympathy at all. He and Azrael looked at the Gray Knight mentor indifferently, and then slammed the table.
"I need an explanation, Joan Herald."
The Gray Knight mentor snorted from his nose with resentment and annoyance, and then responded hoarsely:
"We mistakenly He fell into the devil's trap and suffered heavy losses. He finally managed to break out of the encirclement. "I'm not asking you what you did!"
Sushi Yang punched the big one. , the marble table collapsed.
"Why did you leave the command without saying a word! You know how many brothers, how many soldiers, and how many citizens of the empire were killed by your actions!"
Herald was also annoyed, and he spat on the ground. Xue Mo, then stared at Soshiyang, gritted his teeth and said:
"We have our mission! We have our mission! Soshiyang, you have no right to accuse us! Do you think our sacrifice is small? ! Twenty brothers! A total of twenty Gray Knight brothers were killed!"
Soshiyang didn't take the opponent's advice and pointed at the Gray Knight mentor with his finger. nose, and shouted sternly:
"Whose responsibility is that! Who do you think caused it! It was you, an incompetent commander who killed them!"
"You!!!"
Herald was instantly overwhelmed by blood and suddenly pulled out the blood-stained sword from his waist.
In an instant, Magyar, Randall, and Titus all drew their swords.
Azrael held down the handle of the gun and released the magnetic lock. (First Legion’s Traditional Martial Arts: Rapidly Drawing a Gun)
Suddenly, a deep voice sounded.
"Brothers, calm down."
