Chapter 1641 Intelligence Feedback
“Yu’er, the commander-in-chief is talking to you.”
Little Yu’er, who was gently pushed forward by his sister, moved his steps. Fortunately, he asked Shi Yang's gentle smile offset part of the pressure. The boy recalled the etiquette taught by his sister, stood up straight, put his right hand on his chest and bowed deeply.
"It's an honor to meet you, Commander-in-Chief Soshyan Alexei, I am Yule of the Clermont family."
"Well, Yule, I am On behalf of the Emperor, we came to eliminate heretics. Everyone sees the dedication of the Clermont family in the past. We hope that we can work together to restore peace to the Maelstrom area as soon as possible.”
As he spoke, he extended his hand.
The boy was a little overwhelmed by the huge palm wrapped in armor, but then he whimsically held Soshyan's index finger with both hands, causing Soshyan to chuckle, and said With everyone watching in surprise, he raised his hand and gently brushed the boy's head with his palm.
"Smart boy, the Claremont family will definitely be revitalized in your hands in the future."
Old Marley, who was not far away, raised his eyelids slightly when he heard this, and then immediately returned to his normal state. The original state of the old monk entering concentration.
After that, Soshyan straightened up and looked at Syllu Clement.
There is no doubt that she is a beautiful woman, with a tall figure that stands out among the crowd. She is only slightly shorter than Veronica in height. However, as a human, her body shape is better than that of Veronica, who is an Eldar. The card is much more exaggerated. The slender legs wrapped in ice crystal blue garters first experienced a round expansion all the way up, and then contracted sharply at the waist. Then they crossed over the flat lower abdomen, and then had to climb over the towering cloud peaks and deep mountains. The ravine - especially when looking over it from a high position, the patch of snow-white that is slightly squeezed by the tunic is even more eye-catching.
And her crystal clear skin also complements the ice blue long dress. Her soft facial lines and pointed chin, coupled with her sharp temperament and sky blue eyes, make her Her overall temperament is very cold and capable, which is exactly the opposite extreme of Veronica, who makes people feel like spring breeze.
But compared to other things, Suoshiyang paid more attention to her snowflake-shaped mechanical eyes. He always felt that the other person's eyes were sweeping back and forth on him.
"Ms. Sillu, the war in the near future will also need the support of the Claremont family. I hope everyone can work together."
As he said that, he picked up a new goblet. , and Silu Clermont also picked up the wine glass, took a step forward, and gently clinked the glass with Soshyan.
"The Clermont family will definitely help you solve your problems, Lord Soshyan."
She smiled gracefully, then took a sip of the wine in the glass, and then slowly returned to her brother's side.
Finally, Soshyan came to the patriarch of the Werner family, the ‘Holy Hound’ Kalvan Werner.
This family seems to have no actual power, but its actual influence is extremely huge. After all, not many things in the empire can exist without the state religion, even at the lowest level of the hive city.
Karvan Werner is a "heresy hunter" personally appointed by the pope of the state religion. He has thousands of witch hunters and bounty hunters under his command, and tens of thousands of people are tortured and executed every year. And no institution or force dares to interfere with them. Even many churches in the Maelstrom area are their family properties. The donations and religious tithes collected do not need to be handed over to the state church headquarters, but can be kept directly for their own use. This is also As a result, this family appears to be simple, but in fact it has extremely strong financial resources, and is often able to organize pilgrims and festivals with millions of people.
To carry out large-scale mobilization and recruitment in the Maelstrom area, it is absolutely impossible to do without this family that can have a huge impact on the grassroots of society. After all, the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Ministry of Interior are expected to do these things. It is estimated that Huron built the fortress to the capital of Sagan. It may not be done well.
Karl van Werner was wearing a dark brown priest's robe, which was incompatible with the men and women in fine clothes around him. The only decoration on his body was a hemp rope belt and a book hanging on his waist. The Book of the Emperor's Words, the Emperor's Elephant Pendant on his chest, and the rosary beads constantly turning in his hands. His appearance is worthy of the title of "Holy Hound". Even though his face is expressionless, there is a hint of ferocity and various self-inflicted scars. It is clearly visible on his cheeks and forehead, and his eyes are slightly protruding but bright like vultures.
It is said that this man practiced hard all his life, did not drink tea or wine, did not eat meat, and did not approach women. After he and his wife gave birth to three children, they did not have sex for twenty years.
It seems that his only pleasure in life is to hunt down and torture heretics. As for whether the other party is a true heretic, it is hard to say. "Hello, Brother Kalfan."
"It is a great honor to see the face of the God-Emperor, the sword of judgment, the angel who brings death and punishment to heretics, the great Commander-in-Chief Soshyan Alexei."
As a member of the state religion , Karl van Werner was more respectful to Soshyan than anyone else, and even knelt down directly, then crawled forward and kissed his boots.
"The anger and will of the God-Emperor will burn out all heretics and evil spirits!"
Soshiyang, who tried hard to control himself from giving the opponent a kick, forced a smile, and then said warmly:
“Yes, we will launch a comprehensive and extermination offensive against heretics, and the state religion will also play an important role in this offensive.”
Kalvan Werner stood up and chanted:
"Only those who have been sacrificed can stand beside the throne. Everyone must be determined to sacrifice, and everyone must be the fuel to burn out the flames of heresy. Material."
"That's right."
After that, there were all kinds of compliments and everyone presented gifts to Soshyan, but he didn't bother to look at these things, so he left them all to his followers. Take it and throw it into the warehouse, and ask Veronica to check if there is anything she likes. If she likes it, she will take it away, and if it is useless, she will eat ashes.
After the banquet, Soshyan returned to the flagship in orbit. There were still a lot of things waiting for him to deal with, but before that, he had to meet someone first.
As Soshyan walked into the secret interview room, the lighting balls on the wall lit up one after another, driving away the darkness and illuminating the figure on the chair with his arms folded.
"Occam, you have worked hard during this time."
Ockham, who was leaning on his chair, straightened up and put his hands on the table, with his helmet at hand.
“This is nothing hard.”
As he said that, he took out a data tablet and handed it to Soshyan.
Soshyan sat on the chair and clicked on the data pad. All kinds of information marked with priority quickly crossed the board.
"Huron received the news of your appointment very early. He has not been idle in the past two years. First, he recruited troops. He rebuilt the Tyrant Army, the mortal auxiliary army that was crushed in the past, and then I don't know where he found a group of blood contract remnants to train a new legion for him. The soldiers were mainly recruited from various worlds and pirates under his control. The current number is estimated to be between 20-50 million. "
"Blood Pact?"
Sosh Yang frowned slightly and put down the data pad. This Chaos force is quite famous. The main opponents of the recent Sabat expedition were these mortal heretics, even the most elite ones in the empire. The Astra Militarum, in cooperation with thousands of Astartes from six chapters, still fought very hard. Even Warmaster Slydo unfortunately died in the battle. You can only imagine the level of these heretics.
For example, 771.M41 occurred in the Battle of Akrit Peninsula on the Becher Double Star, where 200 Blood Pact soldiers were assisted by 4 walking tanks and 2 teams of salamander lizard mercenaries. Under this, the tactics of night attack and division and encirclement were used to eliminate 3,000 Astra Militarum soldiers - this was also one of the few instances where the Astra Militarum was defeated by an inferior number of mortal rebels, although it has been denied by the Ministry of Military Affairs.
