Chapter 1687 The Navy is in Position
T'Shirt's time as a Space Marine was not long. He first served as a sergeant in the 5th Company, and later became the Captain of the 3rd Company. When an Astra Militarum Guards accepted the Tau When he rebelled against his clan's Greater Good, he led his company in destroying his troops stationed on Imhartok.
After the previous Chapter Master of the Salamanders died in a Huron retaliation in 938.M41, Tu'shan was elected as his successor and became Master of the Salamanders Chapter and Regent of Nocturne after a complex ceremony. king.
In other words, his time as chapter leader was much shorter than Soshyan's.
“I have heard about the name of the Soshiyang Chapter Grandmaster of the Astral Knights for a long time, but I have never thought about it and I feel quite regretful. When I saw him today, he is indeed the new star of the empire.”
"They are all just false names."
Then Tu'shan introduced the company commanders and battle group command levels of each company to Soshiyang one by one.
“.This is Captain Peras Mirshan of the Second Company, and is also the oldest company commander in the Chapter. He has been in charge of the Second Company for more than a century. At the same time, the Badab War It was also he who led the second company into battle. "
Soshyan nodded to this formidable veteran and shook hands with him, but regarding this Mill Mountain company commander, Soshyan came from a ranger warrior and a warrior. The Wailers heard some not-so-good things.
The Second Salamander Company he led was defeated after fighting the executioner, and finally chose to surrender. Later, it was because the executioner discovered that he had been deceived and betrayed him, and the Second Company of Salamanders was able to escape. This was also the imperial side. The chapter was a relatively big stain in the Badab War. After all, the Hurons had been declared excommunicated and rebellious at that time. Surrendering to traitors was unacceptable to both the Empire and the Adeptus Astartes. Fortunately, Salamander belonged to the founding group, so the matter was settled in the end. Salamander even saved the executioner after the war for this reason.
"Commander Soshiyang! We must take the lead this time! I swear that the shame of the Second Company must be washed away with flames and blood!"
Looking at the other party's gritted teeth, Soshiyang knew that he was responsible for This matter must be something he is still worried about.
"Yes, I believe that the second company that once fought against the Hurons will play the most critical role."
".This is Adraks A of the third company. Captain Gatun is the most ruthless and deadly warrior among us, and his hammer will bring destruction to the heretics.”
The third commander of the Salamanders also wears fine workmanship, and Soshyan is very early. I heard that the Salamander Armory is very luxurious and abundant, and it turned out to be true when I saw it today. Basically, the company commander has finely crafted armor, and the weapons are not popular. The company commander also has a torch on his backpack, and in the light of the fire Under the reflection, the other party's dark and simple face always gave Soshiyang an illusion of trance.
He seemed to have seen each other before, but he didn't know where to start talking about it. This feeling was very strange.
After shaking hands with the other party, Soshiyang smiled and said:
“Captain Adraks looks very familiar.”
Adraks was stunned. After a moment, he subconsciously said:
“Have Commander-in-Chief Soshiyang met me before?”
"No, I just feel familiar."
At this time, Tu'shan suddenly said something.
"The pharmacist once mentioned that the appearance of the Adraks brothers is most similar to that of the original body."
Soshiyan's face froze, and then he quickly covered it up.
“Ah, really, it would be a great honor to have a glimpse of the Fire Dragon Lord.”
Adraks immediately replied:
"I am also proud of it."
". This is the fourth company commander Gu Kyle, and this is the fifth company commander Moore Xiba, this is the Chief Pharmacist Heras Shen, and this is the Hermit Master Xavier." Soshyan shook hands with everyone one by one, and then discovered a problem.
Looking at the flag, it seemed that the First Company was here, but Tu'shan didn't seem to introduce who the First Company Commander was, so he subconsciously asked.
"Isn't the first company commander of your regiment here?"
Tu'shan was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed, showing his white teeth. The other Salamander company commanders also smiled.
"Of course, I'm preparing to introduce you."
As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed Soshyan's right forearm, raising his hand to say hello like an old friend.
"Salamander Chapter, first company commander, picture shirt."
It turns out that the tradition of the Salamanders Chapter is that the Chapter Commander also serves as the First Company Commander. After Soshiyang knew the reason, he showed a shameful smile.
“It’s funny, it’s funny.”
“Haha, if you have any questions, just say it and be honest with each other. Your thoughts, Captain Soshyan, are in line with Prometheus The way."
As he spoke, Tu'shan stretched out another hand and held Soshiyang's other arm tightly.
“The 503 Salamander warriors will fully support this expedition. The only thing they ask for is to give us a chance for revenge. The blood debt Huron owes us must be paid off.”
A Salamander company has two more squads than a Codex company. Although the third company suffered heavy losses due to previous actions, less than half of its number, the five companies still have 500 people.
"I have received the request of the sons of Vulkan, and I will let you get what you want."
Subsequently, Soshyan introduced other battles to Tu'shan one by one. The leader and representative of the regiment, the Salamanders' style makes it difficult for them to have conflicts with other regiments, so the atmosphere is very harmonious.
The arrival of the Salamanders Chapter seemed to open a plug, and then forces from all aspects of the empire began to converge on the Sagan system.
The first is the long-awaited naval power.
There are three imperial fleets in the first batch of reinforcements. One is from the Armageddon Fleet, led by Admiral Parlor, including 1 Emperor-class battleship, 4 Armageddon-class battlecruisers, and 7 Armageddon-class battlecruisers. A Moon-class cruiser and more than 30 small battleships, Admiral Parlor also knew Soshyan. Although he was not as familiar with Yarik, he was already considered acquainted with him in the expeditionary force.
Part of a Charadon fleet from the Far East Sector, led by Admiral Hurtado, including 1 Emperor-class battleship, 1 Scourge-class battleship, and 1 Mars-class battleship cruisers, 3 Gothic-class cruisers, 2 Moon-class cruisers, 1 Dominator-class cruiser, and more than 40 small battleships.
The last one came from the Solar Fleet in the Solar Star Domain, led by Admiral Edward Hawke XVII. The naval department informed Soshyan through an official document because the Solar Fleet was responsible for guarding the Holy Terra and The crucial Sun Star Domain, so "only" 2 Oberon-class battleships, 1 Emperor-class battleship, 1 Apocalypse-class battleship, 1 Jupiter-class battlecruiser, and 4 Vengeance-class large battleships can be drawn out Cruisers, 3 Dictator-class heavy cruisers, 5 Moon-class cruisers, and more than 40 small battleships form a combined fleet, but this is already the most powerful of the three fleets. More importantly, this solar fleet contains a large number of The fighters and bombers have made up for the expeditionary force's current shortcomings.
After the arrival of these fleets, plus some of the empire’s original fleets in the Maelstrom, Soshyan felt that he might be able to compete with the naval power of the Red Pirates. Of course, such a risky thing would also Just thinking about it, he would not play any big gamble with the enemy.
And how to integrate these naval forces is also a problem. The three admirals have parallel military ranks, and with their pride, it may be difficult for them to accept the command of someone other than Soshyan, but Soshyan It is impossible to command every naval battle, and he himself does not consider himself to be a master of naval battles.
