Chapter 1619 Arrival at Reza
After staying in Chegris for five days, reinforcements from the three battle groups arrived at the parent group one after another as Ogedei said.
However, the troops sent by the three chapters did not have an independent chain of command. In fact, they joined the command chain of the Third Brotherhood as soon as they arrived in Chegris. A total of 306 reinforcements made the Third Brother The size of the meeting reached 395 people.
Kosaro Khan immediately made organizational adjustments to the Brotherhood and divided it into several hunting teams. Even this temporarily formed company had a new name - Falcon Sharp Claw.
In addition to more than three hundred warriors, the three sub-regiments also contributed a strike cruiser each. Together with the strike cruiser of the Third Brotherhood, it is equivalent to having four battleships, which is already in worse condition than some The battle group will become stronger.
Moreover, Soshiyang found that among the reinforcements of the White Scars, the proportion of think tanks was also higher than that of ordinary battle groups. The reinforcements of 300 people included 8 think tanks and 6 trainee think tanks.
A normal battle group of 1,000 people may not necessarily have such a number of think tanks. White Scars is indeed one of the three major legions that contributed to the think tank system that year (the other two are Blood Angels and Thousand Sons). It seems that an excellent think tank training system is still preserved to this day.
Of course, Soshiyang was not idle these days while waiting for reinforcements from the White Scars, but he only did one thing -
persuade everyone to accept the Mantis Warriors.
The Imperial Fists, Dark Angels, Flesh Tearers and other war groups that have not participated in the Badab War naturally have an indifferent attitude towards this. However, the most troublesome one is, as Soshyan thought, the Rangers. warrior.
When he learned that the Mantis Warriors were in Chegolis, Titus almost led his men into the Quanzhou Palace to avenge the sacrifice of his brothers.
No matter how righteous Soshyan was after that, Titus's attitude was very firm. To put it simply -
With me or without him!
Titus bluntly told Soshyan that because of the blood feud back then, it was completely impossible for the Ranger Warriors to accept fighting alongside the Mantis Warriors, and it was even less possible for him to accept it. At that time, he was watching helplessly. The former Chapter Master and his brothers fell under the gunfire of the Mantis Warriors.
Although Soshyan could predict Titus's reaction, he didn't expect it to be so intense.
Speaking of excitement, Titus even slammed the table and shouted to Soshyan that if the Mantis Warriors joined the expedition, the Ranger Warriors would immediately withdraw from the expedition. If Soshyan was dissatisfied with this, he could even withdraw from the alliance!
This is a very serious statement, and it has reached the point of severing all ties.
In fact, at this point, Soshiyang was also a little annoyed. Brotherhood is important, but can we give up our responsibilities and vows for this?
Titus is a chapter leader, he is hundreds of years old, why is he like a child! ?
However, he controlled his emotions very well and never got angry with Titus. He just patiently reasoned with the other party, told the facts, and even negotiated conditions, making various compromises and concessions.
But Titus still insisted on saying that. There were either only rangers or mantis warriors in the expeditionary force. The two could never coexist!
Fortunately, other members of the alliance understood Soshyan and understood that the expeditionary force now desperately needs such a force, so they joined in the persuasion. Not only Magyar, Malakin and others, but also Seth He patiently talked a lot of truth to Titus Barabara.
Finally, Soshyan came up with a way, which was to ask Titus to talk alone with Alhazra Redeth, the think tank director of the Mantis Warriors. He promised that if the two sides were completely unable to After reaching the most basic understanding, Soshyan will think of other strategies and will not force Titus to accept the Mantis Warriors.
Titus, who had been arguing with Soshyan for several days, was also moved by his sincerity, and finally agreed to meet Alhazra Redeth in a reception hall in Quanzhou Palace. What the two parties discussed is unknown to outsiders, but after this meeting, Titus unexpectedly changed his attitude. Although he bluntly said that he still could not forgive the Mantis Warrior, he agreed to join the expeditionary force, but he also put forward a condition, Even if the two sides cannot appear on the same battlefield, he will not be on the same ship as any Mantis Warrior.
Titus's willingness to let go already made Soshyan extremely happy, and naturally he immediately agreed to the other party's request.
At this point, all obstacles for the Mantis Warriors to join the expedition have been cleared. The Maelstrom Expeditionary Force was finally able to leave Chegoris, but its strength has increased from 2571 at the time of departure to 3277.
After leaving the Yashan sector, the expedition fleet moved along the edge of the maelstrom and arrived at another transfer station after three months of sailing.
One of the most powerful forging worlds in the empire, the forge that binds the stars, Ryza
Before approaching the planet, the first thing that appeared in the scope was a magnificent artificial satellite.
Since Reza does not have a natural satellite in its orbit, this has led to many problems, including control issues in the orbital domain.
At the same time, since the Omnissian Flame-blood Sect brought about the full rise of Reza, Reza's space infrastructure and transportation needs have also greatly increased, so the Reza people tried to use machinery and technology to This method once and for all solved the problems of orbit control and space infrastructure, and the final result was the birth of "Ruiwei" that made Reza proud.
From a distance, it looks like a giant hive floating on orbit. It is extremely large and majestic, but it also looks very "civilian".
But Soshiyan knows that this Ruiwei is not only a large maintenance and transit space station, but also exists as Ruiza's first solid line of defense. In the outer ring of its extremely huge space station There are a large number of and powerful weapon arrays hidden in it, and there is also a more deadly plasma array. Its terrifying power can allow it to slowly melt down all ships in a large area if necessary.
The inner ring of Ruiwei is not inferior to the outside in any way. In its intricate and huge internal system that cannot be seen in its entirety, there are countless space ports that can handle huge amounts of goods and people at any time. , even when the empire's largest expedition fleet comes here, Ruiwei can easily install them all and provide them with supplies and maintenance without affecting other functions at all.
In such a huge space station, the interior mainly relies on various passages extending in all directions and the giant maglev train inside to communicate and carry out rapid cargo transfer, and its passages are not generally large. Even the most basic passages can accommodate Three armored Imperial knights strode past with their heads held high.
It can be said that Ruiwei's grandeur, lethal firepower and comprehensive capabilities make it almost a must-control object for anyone trying to establish a position in the extreme star field.
As for why Soshyan knew this, it was because Reza was attacked by the rebels during the Great Crusade and left a large number of written records. Although it doesn’t matter how many of them are true or false, they are The power of the orbital station has been recorded relatively clearly.
"Riza is indeed a forging world that even Mars is afraid of. Its strength is extraordinary."
Looking at the rust-colored planet and the majestic moon Ruiwei getting closer and closer, the bridge Soshyan couldn't help but sigh, and then the voice of the communications director suddenly sounded from the brass speaker.
"Report! A message from the Great Sage Kuautemok Garet of Ryza. On behalf of all the citizens of the Forge World, I would like to welcome the presence of the Maelstrom Expeditionary Force and the Commander of Supreme Lord Soshyan Alexey, Rywei The airport is open and the fleet can enter at any time.”
