Chapter 1613 Chegoris
Standard Terra Calendar, 963.M41
Ultimate Star Region, Great Whirlpool Belt, Yashan Star Region
In the vast universe, a large number of battleships Like a school of fish gathering in the void, running at low power under the light of distant stars.
The most conspicuous of them are the two dozen huge battleships hanging still, the searchlights on the bows flickering slightly in the void, and each battleship is surrounded by a group of smaller ships. : Transport ships, frigates, destroyers and supply ships, as well as extremely large transport ships, a Mechanicum design that consists of redundant carriers and supply facilities stacked to form a huge ship
Few fleets in the galaxy possess such a form, and only an Expeditionary Battle Group capable of unleashing its wrath upon the enemies of the Emperor can muster such terrifying power.
But the logos and colors throughout the fleet are very different, including gray iron, dark green, yellow-black, gold-red, off-white, and the pure red of the Mechanicus, with their own logos.
Despite this, they are the most powerful killing weapons of mankind. Each ship is built to reflect the murderous heart of their operator - all warships are ferocious spears, forged Extremely sharp, driven by roaring, endless flames.
The Eternal Loyalty is the core of the fleet. Although it is not the largest in tonnage, its firepower is among the best. A large number of turrets and laser arrays are attached to the back, showing a jagged outline, surrounded by Follow other small ships like clouds on the mountains.
The flagship has a huge circular bridge, with shiny granite pillars supporting a bronze and marble dome. Inside the circular walls, thousands of gray-uniformed crew members are on their Work silently at your post.
Under a massive armored glass roof stood a broad stone, glittering with a series of holographic projections, kaleidoscopes of neon beams swirling and reflecting off countless screens and viewing lenses.
There are towering Terminators standing everywhere on the bridge. They are terrible gods of death and tough guards who only protect one person.
Soshyan Alexey, the supreme lord commander of the expeditionary force, stood silently in front of the monitor, his sharp eyes sometimes staring at the readings or lenses on the stone monitor, sometimes staring ahead.
The company commanders of the battle group and the command team stood in a loose circle around him. Through the huge observation window not far away, a vibrant world was slowly turning, and its high orbit The upper one surrounds a small satellite that was transformed into a military port.
Suddenly, the voice of the communications officer sounded from the brass horn on the bridge.
"Lord Soshiyan, Juba Khan, the leader of the White Scars Chapter, invites you to meet at Quanzhou Palace!"
Yes, where they are now is the home planet of the White Scars, Chege Reese.
As for why he appears here, it is because Soshyan does not intend to go directly to the Maelstrom. On the one hand, it is easy to be ambushed by the red pirates on the way. On the other hand, he also wants to visit Chogolis here. The founding group, as the closest starting group to the Maelstrom, White Scar must have a better understanding of the situation and information about the Red Pirates.
If possible, it would be best if the other party could join the expedition.
"Maximilian, one company will go down with me. The others will be on standby in the fleet and keep the fleet on alert to prevent the red pirates from raiding."
"Yes."
Soon, a small transport ship broke away from the fleet and sailed towards the surface of the planet.
After entering the atmosphere, Soshyan couldn't help but sigh that this was indeed a rich world as the rumors said.
As an Astartes home planet, the environment of Chegoris is very well maintained. Not only are the grass green and the mountains towering, but even the ocean is blue and pure.
The monastery of the White Scars Chapter is called Quanzhou Palace. It is located on the top of the inaccessible Qom Karta Mountains in the Chegoris Mountains. The mountains are surrounded by endless vast grasslands, even in the high mountains. From the air, you can see scattered tents and large herds of cattle and sheep dotted on the grassland. It seems that White Scar has not deliberately avoided mortals.
Soon, as the height of the transport ship dropped, a huge stone fortress appeared in Soshyan's sight. The Quanzhou Palace was originally the location of the ruling palace of the original Chagatai Khan. After returning to the empire, it was transformed into a military fortress using a large amount of advanced technology. However, it seems that the Khan had other plans for his planet. In addition to the Quanzhou Palace , there are almost no traces of the empire's technology in this world, and it seems to have always remained in the state before returning to the empire.
Thinking of this, Soshyan couldn't help but think of what Veronica once said, that it was Chagatai Khan who rescued him at the last moment of Comoros.
It is said that the White Scars warriors have been looking for their original body. Should this be said?
But it seems that Veronica doesn’t know exactly where Khan is, she just knows that it is somewhere similar to the soul realm, and if the other party gets to the bottom of this matter, it will be hard for him to explain how he knows it. , and what the process is like.
"That's all, I won't say it if I can't explain it, so as not to cause any misunderstanding."
Withdrawing his attention from his thoughts, before the transport ship landed, Soshyan saw the door of this great fortress. Mounted with the heads of countless enemies defeated by the White Scars Space Marines.
Like all fortress monasteries, this fortress has thick armor protection and void shields that can withstand any artillery siege. Its walls are covered with enough firepower to level a city, and its defense system Including a series of Icarus-type laser cannons and a giant laser cannon known as the "Wrath of Khan".
The archives of Quanzhou Palace are located on a spire struck by lightning. There, the think tanks of the Chapter known as the Storm Prophets learn knowledge and record the deeds of their khans, Storm The Prophet is also in charge of the White Scars' astropaths, ordering them to send astrological messages into space.
At this time, all the defense systems of Quanzhou Palace have been closed, the gates have been opened, and the walls are covered with flags.
The roaring transport ship quickly came to a stop in the huge landing zone opened in front of the fortress. When the hatch opened, the tall terminator held the battle flag of the Astral Knights, the company flag of the first company and the eagle flag of the expeditionary force, stepping on the heavy Walking out slowly, they walked in unison and were strong and determined, like a slow-moving steel wall.
And guarded by this impenetrable high wall is Soshiyang, who is wearing a suit of finely crafted armor. At this time, he is not wearing a helmet, and there is an iron halo behind his head. The eagle emblem on his chest is bright and covered with The oath brand and scroll strips, a burgundy cloak behind him, and a golden ribbon hanging from the shoulder armor to the chest.
In front of the huge main entrance of Quanzhou Palace, one hundred veterans from the White Scar Company's "Spear Club" and their leader Suboden Khan were already waiting there.
They were wearing the oldest armor, holding a flagpole in one hand and a scimitar in the other.
When Soshyan strode forward, they all drew out their machetes and pointed them at the sky at an angle of 45 degrees, forming a blade corridor.
"Welcome, Commander-in-Chief Soshyan Alexei, on behalf of all the White Scars warriors, I would like to pay tribute to you and the expeditionary force."
Suboden Khan greeted Soshyan with a smile, he He has a standard Chegoris appearance, with a face as steep as a mountain, a knife-like forehead and sharp, narrow eagle eyes that show the ability of a warrior, while the two slender mustaches and the goatee on his chin are also white scars One of the characteristics. (Ahem, this is basically the look of Asians made up by the British, so you don’t need to pay too much attention to it)
“I have heard about the famous name for a long time, Subodeng Khan, but compared to you, I am just a junior.”
< br>After the two shook hands cordially, the soldiers of the White Scar Company shouted "Salute to the Expeditionary Force" three times before putting away their knives.
After that, Soshyan entered the ancient Quanzhou Palace under the guidance of Subodeng Khan.
