Chapter 1601 Alliance Will
Ustad's words instantly opened everyone's conversation, and everyone denounced this rather ridiculous appointment one after another.
“The Ministry of Military Affairs says there are 300 million Astra Militarum troops, but there is no telling how many they can really reach.”
“Besides, even if we recruit our own troops, it’s useless just to have guns and cannons. Ah, where did the heavy armor come from? Where did the transport ships and transport vehicles come from? What if the Mechanicum doesn't provide them with so many people? "
"The most outrageous thing is that we need to obtain supplies locally. Well, it turns out that it is so easy for the empire to fight now? So what does the Ministry of Military Affairs do?"
Listening to everyone's discussion, Soshyan, who was a little upset, sighed and then raised his hand.
"Okay, everyone, stop complaining. The facts cannot be changed. We can only obey orders. However, please do not spread this matter first. We will talk about it after I have discussed it with several chapter leaders in the alliance. Everyone goes back. Digestive preparation."
After that, he turned to look at Lysander.
"Captain Lysander, please come with me to the Trace of Victory."
"Haha, I am always responsive to requests, and you are now the lord commander, speak up In fact, you can be tougher.”
"How dare I be so presumptuous in front of you."
While everyone was talking, Kayon and Thor quietly exited the hall and then came to a secluded corner.
"This thing is weird. It was most likely arranged by that person."
Hearing Kayon's judgment, Thor nodded.
"It should be him, otherwise the high lord would not make such a decision for no reason, at least he intervened."
"The question is what does he want to do? It's not wise to let Soshyan go head-to-head with Huron."
"Oh, who can guess this. Savita is coming soon, so I'll ask him then. He knew it, but I guess he might not know it either.”
The next day after welcoming the envoys from Terra, Soshyan set off for the Scar of Victory and summoned the still-unknown person. Chapter Commanders of Nessen 6, but he did not want to terminate the exercise, he just left the exercise to the company commanders to control, and at the same time summoned Talos to his side.
After learning that Soshyan was appointed as the commander of the expedition supreme lord, he also seemed very shocked. Obviously the decision of the high lord was beyond the scope of normal people's understanding, but he immediately became acutely aware of it. There may be people on Terra who want to rectify Soshiyan, or there may be other purposes for this expedition.
After giving Talos such a reminder, Soshyan also felt that this appointment and the expedition were weird in every way, but now he had no good solution but to use troops to cover up the water.
When the other members of the Suffering Alliance learned the news, it was like a bolt from the blue.
"I xx him xxx! Did those high lords of Terra eat too much shit and become panicked?"
The grumpy Seth immediately scolded him, and his anger even The brazier in the middle of the round table shook. In addition to a few chapter leaders, there was also Lysander. Although he was not a chapter leader, the high prestige of the first company commander made everyone have no objections.
The main thing is that he is from Terra and can tell everyone a lot of inside information, which is far more convincing than Soshyan's own narrative.
Malakin crossed his arms, as if in deep thought. After Seth finished spraying, he said slowly:
"In this way, our plan has completely failed. Huron's intelligence network is very wide, and there is no confidentiality at all on the Empire's side. I guess he already knows about it by now."
Chapter Leader of the Ranger Warriors Titus frowned too.
"That doesn't mean we have to go to war with the well-prepared Red Pirates? This is much more difficult than a surprise attack." Magyar sighed and shook his head.
"Not only are we well prepared, the Maelstrom is Huron's home base. He has been running it for so many years. We are equivalent to fighting on the enemy's home turf. We are at a disadvantage in terms of intelligence, strength, and resources."
The strength of the Red Corsairs is obvious to all, and everyone is a little worried about the surprise attack. Now if it turns into a head-on battle, the huge fleet and the large number of Chaos Space Marines will be almost like a mountain weighing on everyone's heart.
Moreover, both the Ranger Warriors and the Lamenters participated in the Badab War. The shadow left by that war has not even dissipated. If they engage in a large-scale war again, even if they win in the end, they How heavy should the loss be?
You must know that the battle groups that participated in the war, whether it was the Huron side or the Imperial side, ended up losing troops and generals. Battle groups like the Starry Sky Phantom Ranger Warriors also lost more than half, the Mantis Warriors and the Lamenters Not to mention, the team was almost wiped out.
In a large-scale war, even the Astartes Chapter is very vulnerable, let alone a war of this level.
Even the bellicose Seth lost his voice after venting his anger.
In the rotunda, it was so quiet that you could hear the sound of a pin dropping. After all, those present were all Chapter Masters. They not only had to serve the Empire, but also considered the continuation of the Chapter.
If it is not necessary, the Ranger Warriors actually do not want to get involved in this kind of war, but they cannot break their oaths and abandon the Astral Knights and the Alliance of Suffering. After all, honor is also the life of the Star Warriors.
Soshiyang glanced at the worried people, then took a deep breath and said:
"I know that each battle group has its own difficulties. Here I I also stated that I will not force any member of the alliance to participate in this expedition. This is not part of the alliance plan. Moreover, I dare not draw a conclusion about the final outcome of this war without fear of your brothers laughing. Now I am very panicked in my heart. , I have never commanded a battle of this level, and even thinking about the astronomical number of soldiers and equipment makes me a little dizzy. I can defeat the Huron fleet, and I can defeat Abaddon on the Death Star, but it does not mean that I Can command more than a billion people and thousands of battle brothers to sweep across the maelstrom, so for this expedition, you don’t need to——"
Before Soshiyan could finish speaking, Malakin turned around and walked to him , putting a hand on his shoulder.
"If the Emperor is determined to have the Lamenter return to his throne in a great battle, then we would rather die fighting and bleeding alongside our brothers than die alone in the cold void."
Seth also came over and took Soshyan's left hand.
"The Flesh Tearers crave the blood of traitors, the more the better!"
Arash also put his hand on one of Soshyan's shoulders.
“The White Temple must make the Red Pirates pay with blood!”
Magyar and Titus came over and put their hands on Soshyan's arms and shoulders respectively.
"No matter what the outcome is, we will fight side by side."
Lysander, who was not far away, looked at this scene, nodded secretly, and was once again surprised by Soshyan's personal charm.
Soshiyang held those big hands wrapped in armor. In addition to the indescribable excitement in his heart, he felt that the responsibilities on his shoulders were much heavier -
Heavy as if To crush him.
So many battle brothers, so many mortal soldiers, so many fleets, so many worlds in the Maelstrom, so many people.
All victory or defeat depends on his decision-making.
Can he really carry the lives of hundreds of billions of people?
Up to this moment, Soshyan still had no sense of substance about his appointment as commander-in-chief of the expedition. It seemed like a fantasy caused by hysteria.
