Chapter 1660 War Conference


Chapter 1660 War Meeting

In the main conference room of the Eternal Loyalty, hundreds of Space Marines wearing armors of different colors and bearing different logos have gathered here. They come from more than a dozen different battles. Chapter Masters and Captains of all Space Marine Chapters in the Crusade are here.

Not since the Horus Heresy have Space Marines from so many different Chapter cultures come together.

The entire conference room is oval in shape, with a huge long table in the center. The chapter leader or the company commander representing the chapter sits on chairs on both sides of the long table, while others sit close to the wall. On the chairs, they also instinctively gathered together in their original legion form.

Before the meeting began, the servitor gave each Space Marine present a data pad, which recorded a large amount of intelligence data about the Red Pirates, as well as a recent report on the Red Pirates brought by Occam. The trends of the series, as well as the situation of the Maelstrom and various alien threats.

The Space Marines, who were supposed to be quiet, began to chatter non-stop because of this information.

The Imperial Fists faction war group with the largest number has been the liveliest from the beginning. The lively Tianshi war group, the Sons of Dorn, the Iron Knights and the Crimson Fist have been talking about each other since they entered. After a pause, Lysander and Helbrecht kept whispering something, while Raif and Arash kept chattering about the situation in the Badab sector.

The ascetics and ranger warriors of the Ultramarines line, the Lamenters and Flesh Tearers of the Blood Angels line, the White Scar's "Hunting Team" and Mantis Warriors, as well as the Dark Angels and Star Phantoms, are all They had their own issues to discuss, and the company commanders were also discussing in low voices the information provided on the data board, especially the strength of the Red Pirates - Soshyan only chose a more conservative figure of 100,000. In fact, Oka Mu speculated that it was around 120,000. Even so, this number made many company commanders worried. After all, this was equivalent to a legion during the Great Expedition.

"Supreme Lord Commander Soshiyang, here!"

With a dull and loud voice, the door to the conference room opened. Everyone fell silent for a moment, then stood up neatly and walked towards the door. Perform the Eagle Ceremony.

Soshiyang walked into the conference room under the guard of the Terminator, then came to the end of the long table, stretched out his hands to press it, and said with a smile:

"Brothers, there is no need to be polite, sit down, all sit down. . ”

After everyone sat down neatly, Soshyan clicked on the table, and a huge and slowly rotating star map appeared above the conference room, which clearly marked the boundaries between the empire and the red pirates, and The scope of other alien forces is even marked with the garrison situation in various places.

"You must have read the war zone intelligence. Let me add one more point. Two days ago, the Astropath Choir received a request for help from the Colkeria system. It said that the Red Pirates had blocked it. As for the external channels of the galaxy, the six worlds of Korkeria have now entered a state of complete alert, but panic and heretical beliefs have begun to spread among the people. They hope that the empire will send reinforcements as soon as possible. According to the instructions of the Astropath Tower It is inferred that the message has been sent for about half a month."

Soshiyang glanced at everyone. Everyone was staring at the star map, but their expressions were different. Some were thinking, some were frowning, and some were frowning. Shaking his head, some people were eager to try.

Afterwards, he said in a very humble and gentle tone:

"Frankly speaking, many of you present are my seniors and have served the emperor much earlier than me. I have been entrusted with this important task." I am terrified, but as an Astartes I must do my best to serve the Emperor and humanity even if I die. However, I am fully aware of my shortcomings in intelligence and ability, so I really need your help. If you have any questions or comments, , or ideas, you can talk about it."

After everyone was silent for a moment, Malakin raised his hand slightly, Soshyan nodded, extended his hand and invited:

"Brother Malakin, Your understanding of the Maelstrom should be the deepest among the people here, please say."

"Thank you, Commander Soshyan, for your trust. Let me boldly say that Kolkria is the Maga Star Cluster. The connection point with the Badab Sector has been stationed as a node fortress by the Tyrant Legion during the years when Huron ruled as Master of the Starclaw Chapter. The people there actually worship Huron very much, because it is Huron. The alien pirates that had plagued that galaxy for five hundred years were eliminated. Although the Empire now has more than three million Astra Militarum troops stationed there, and they also recruited soldiers from other galaxies, this power is not worth mentioning in front of Huron. ." Malakin's words caused a slight murmur.

"To put it simply, if Huron really wanted to take it, there was no need to wait until now. Even though he controlled half of the Badab sector, he did not occupy this system or destroy the empire in the system. Power, why is this?”

Soshyan looked at a galaxy near the Colkeria galaxy, where there was a symbol of the Mechanicum.

"Angerstrom."

"Yes, Angstrom, the largest arms dealer in the Maelstrom region, respected the Hurons before they rebelled. Plus, he wanted to completely turn this forging world into his ally. Even after the rebellion, he did not attack this world. It can be seen that he is very afraid of this group of mechanical cultists. If you think about it carefully, even if he has the strength to take it. In this world, the sages of Angstrom are fully capable of completely destroying the industry of the Forge World before the planet falls. Huron is far from building its own industrial power. Without Angstrom, only Looting may be able to meet the needs of a warband, but it can never meet the equipment needs of a legion.”

"So, Huron has not taken action against the Colkeria system because he does not want to irritate Angstrom, but now he has taken action."

Looking at Malakin, Lysander suddenly said:

“Obviously Huron intends to attract us to rescue the Colkeria system and force us to fight him without any preparation.”

"Maybe it's just one aspect"

Helbrecht crossed his fingers with his hands, propped his chin and stared at the star map above, and then said meaningfully.

"Judging from the current reactions from all parties, I personally think Angstrom's position is very questionable. If the Red Pirates are forcing the Corkria system, do they have an excuse to blockade this system? Put themselves in a completely independent position ? Or are they themselves wall-riders? Judging from the situation in the Colkeria galaxy over the years, they should have some kind of tacit understanding with the Red Pirates. I feel that this heretical operation is not a simple military operation."

Soshyang was very amazed at Helbrecht's acumen. It was amazing that the other party could make such an analysis without knowing anything about Angstrom's inside story.

The youngest marshal of the Black Temple should not be underestimated.

"Yes, Angstrom's position is problematic. Before the Astropathic signal from the Colkeria system was sent, they used the excuse that the neighboring system was being harassed by red pirates. Reduce or even stop the supply of materials and equipment to us."

"What a bunch of heretics!"

Titus slammed the table and said angrily:

"They attacked the imperial military forces during the Badab War and refused to provide help to the imperial armed forces. Now they dare to Hooking up with Huron, the Empire is so tolerant of the Mechanicus!”
