Chapter 1624 Reza’s true strength
After knowing that the other party was asking for a guarantee, Soshiyang thought for a moment and gave an answer.
“Riza supports the expedition so strongly, so the expeditionary force is naturally responsible for Riza’s safety. After arriving in the Sagan system, I will form a rapid reaction force of at least 300 space warriors as a Reserve army, once Reza is invaded, I will send them to support Reza. At the same time, I will also send fleets to patrol between Reza and Sagan systems to protect transportation lines. In addition, the Astral Knights will work with Reza signed a defense contract. Even after the expedition is over, if Reza is invaded, the Astral Knights will send troops to support him no matter what happens. "
Ultramok nodded slightly.
“This is so good.”
Afterwards, Soshyan came to the welcome banquet prepared for him by Reza and enjoyed the highest courtesy in the forging world.
At the banquet, Soshiyang publicly announced to the sages that as a supporter of the expeditionary force, Reza, the resource world recovered by the expeditionary force in the future, would have priority in development rights, and Reza's fleet could be used without any Obstructed entry and exit from the maelstrom area - regardless of whether there is any, the pie is drawn first.
After the banquet, Ultramok and several sages had a secret conversation with Soshyan. During the secret conversation, Soshyan learned something that surprised him even more.
It turns out that the 158 Titans of the Warmongers are just superficial numbers. In order to avoid Mars' attention, Reza has been making a fortune silently. Many Titans are built secretly and are not recorded in the establishment. The actual number of Warmongers is There are 231 troops!
This is Reza’s true strength.
Ultramok also expressed their expectations for this expedition. In fact, during the many years of being suppressed by Mars, Reza has always been eager to "break the situation." The most important point is the supply of rare materials and trade lines. The nearest maelstrom area is obviously rich in resources and has many routes, but Reza cannot get any benefit due to the supervision of Mars and the rampage of red pirates. They have long wanted to change all this.
The appearance of the expeditionary force was the opportunity for Reza to break the situation this time, but after all, they were not familiar enough with Soshyan, so Ultramok tried it out.
In the end, Ultramok finally "saw the picture" and revealed Ryza's true request, that is, during the expedition, Ryza would build a maintenance route from the Forge World to the Maelstrom. The "Steel Corridor" of the Yani galaxy is simply to build a number of militarized fortresses on a series of planets and asteroids to form a stable route, and to spread their unique Omnissian blood in the maelstrom area. sect!
The sages admitted that this matter was very taboo for Mars. Although they would do it secretly in the early stage, over time, it would be impossible to stop the fire. Once discovered by Mars, Sosh would definitely be the first to bear the pressure. Yang, the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force.
Although the Omnissiah Flame-Blooded Sect is not a heresy, it is a non-mainstream sect after all. Soshiyan opening the door to preaching for Reza is equivalent to endorsing this sect. This is almost a direct provocation to Mars. The authority of the interpreters of Adeptus Mechanicus doctrine.
As expected, there is no free lunch in the world. Soshyan knew that getting Reza's full support would cost him, but he didn't expect the price to be so high.
Being at odds with Mars is no joke. Although the Astral Knights are far away from Mars, Terra is very close to Mars.
But now Soshiyan doesn’t have so many choices, because Mars’s help in this expedition is almost zero. If he wants to win, he can only rely on Reza, so he can only take one step at a time. .
After receiving the guarantee, Ultramok seemed very happy. With a stroke of his pen, thousands of plasma weapons became the first material aid to the expeditionary force.
Not only that, Ultramok later took Soshyan to review a special skitarii army newly "developed" by Reza. In fact, just looking at the appearance, the skitarii are not much different from the ordinary ones. The vanguards and chasseurs are also similar, but the weapons they use are very special.
"This is."
Soshiyan carefully looked at the strange weapon in his hand. At first glance, it looked like Reza's common plasma carbine, but the gun body was longer and thicker. , and both sides are covered with slightly curved silver metal strips.
Then he handed the weapon to the Alpha Vanguard soldier on the side, and the other party immediately began to operate it. He picked up the gun and shot five times at the distant target. The hot plasma accurately hit three hundred targets. Target meters away.
Suddenly, more than a dozen targets appeared at the shooting range. Then Soshyan saw the metal strips on both sides of the plasma weapon in the vanguard's hand pop out, instantly turning the gun into a The shape of the crossbow.
Immediately afterwards, the weapon in the hands of the vanguard began to spray plasma at an extremely fast speed. Hundreds of projectiles instantly covered the dozen targets, breaking them all into burning fragments.
“Awesome.”
Soshiyan took over the deformed plasma weapon and discovered that the two metal plates that resembled crossbow arms turned out to be heat dissipation devices, with fine stripes on the inside. , because of the high temperature, it turns dark red.
“This is a model we have improved and produced based on the stc template you gave us. Although the weight has increased a lot, it can fire 400 rounds of bullets in fully automatic mode, and its firepower is twice as high as the rainstorm type. It is currently named For Yannu."
"Riza is indeed one of the most innovative worlds in the Mechanicus."
"Because being conservative means a single method, it means that the enemy will gradually get used to your combat method, which means that existing resources must be used to fight a war of attrition with the enemy. This is not the style of the Reza people. We firmly believe that the only way to improve the current situation is to Only with certain weapons and the invention of new war weapons can we have an unequal advantage over the enemy."
Soshyan nodded and looked at the vanguards and chasseurs lined up. Basically every one of them was equipped. This kind of flame crossbow - Reza's terrifying productivity can be seen clearly.
Some Skitarii are equipped with a unique model similar to the Rainstorm plasma pistol but smaller in size.
Riza's infiltrator holds a unique plasma scorching rod. This weapon stores extremely amazing and terrifying energy in the capacitor at the base. Once a solid impact occurs, it will be a melee impact. , will cause this energy to be released forward in a fan shape as scorching plasma heat. Although it is difficult to use it a second time in a short period of time, the power is very impressive.
At the same time, these infiltrators are also equipped with a type of impact gun. This rapid-fire firearm that fires high-speed solid ammunition may not be small in size, but it relies on black technologies such as acceleration, large charges, and impact warheads. The small-caliber dense ammunition it fires has a greater stopping effect than the large-caliber heavy machine guns on the Astra Militarum tanks. Once a group of infiltrators fire collectively, it will be difficult for even the greenskins to rush up at medium distances.
As for Ryza's Rust Seekers, they don't seem to be very special. Their main weapon is still the sonic blade, but they have Ryza's best small plasma core inside, which makes their reaction speed and movement speed far faster than other worlds. The rust seeker.
