Chapter 1710 The Great Sage of Angstrom
As the area between the Grief Galaxy and the Senglad Galaxy, the Galen Galaxy plays an important role in the entire Maelstrom pattern. During the Badab War in the past , a fierce tug-of-war broke out between the empire and the rebels. The Red Scorpions, the Sons of Medusa, and the combined forces finally occupied the area and established a bridgehead to attack the Badab sector.
The fierce war also caused serious damage to the galaxy. The Galen galaxy originally had six habitable worlds and satellites, but after the war only Galen 3, the capital of the galaxy, and Galen 4 remained. Galen 2 and Galen 7 are still suitable for human habitation, while Galen 2, Galen 5 and Galen 8 have all been reduced to wastelands with only a few human activities.
Today, the almost abandoned Galen V ushered in two large fleets.
One of them is generally in gray iron color, with the symbol of the Astral Knights Chapter, and also contains some Imperial Navy warships. The other one is in the deep red of the Mechanicus, with the symbol of the Forge World. The symbol of Angstrom, two fleets occupy one side of the planet's orbit.
Standing in the observation window of the Eternal Loyalty, looking at the dark brown planet surface and the vaguely visible Mechanicus fleet, Soshiyang looked grim.
Suddenly, footsteps sounded behind him, and Maximilian, wearing heavy Terminator armor, approached him.
"Chapter Commander, Stormbirds are ready."
Soshiyang nodded slightly. In fact, many people advised him before coming, because Angstrom's loyalty is now There is no guarantee that they might collude with the Red Pirates.
But Soshyan is not worried about this matter, because he has made sufficient arrangements. Sengrad's White Scar Fleet and Charadon Fleet left port a week ago, and Iblis's fire The same is true for the Lizard Fleet. If Huron dares to take such a risk, Sosh is so brave that he doesn't mind eating one of his fleets.
According to some mysterious information, Soshyan has probably learned that the size of Huron's fleet is actually smaller than he expected. There are only more than fifty battleships, and most of the ships are actually small and medium-sized warships or even With Huron's character, it is impossible for the pirate ships to come in full force. If only a part of them were present, with the navy currently deployed, they would be able to eat them as soon as they were discovered.
Soshyan felt that Huron might not be that stupid after all.
As for Angstrom, he didn’t believe they had such courage.
As soon as Soshyan turned around, he saw Veronica walking over with a data tablet in her arms, and then handed it to him.
“This is the recent price changes in the maelstrom market given by the Claremont family. The price of food and necessities has increased at an alarming rate. It is certain that some people are hoarding and driving up prices.”
Soshyan just glanced at it and returned it to Veronica.
“Leave these to Inquisitor Marcus and Legal Marshal Rory Figueiredo and let them handle it. Kill those who deserve to be killed and arrest those who deserve to be arrested. I have many things to do, so I have to concentrate on them. In the military aspect."
"Well, Chapter Commander, please be careful when you go down."
Soon several Stormbirds left the flagship, leaving the fleet and heading straight to the surface of the planet, accompanied by another. Fighters from the navy are forming up, and the transmission room on the flagship is also ready, ready to teleport people on the ground back or to the ground at any time.
In fact, Soshyan still gave the other party face, and the location agreed upon by both parties was a Mechanicum mining station on Galen 5.
When the Storm Bird landed, the hatch opened, and as soon as Soshyan stepped out, some yellow sand came to meet him.
He looked around. Apart from the towering equipment, there was endless desert. If there wasn't a protective shield here, it would probably be submerged by the strong wind and gravel.
The Terminators quickly swarmed around the mining station, checked the safety of every place, and occupied the commanding heights. The Mechanicus personnel gathered together and respectfully saluted Soshyan. Suddenly, there was a roar in the sky. Soshiyang looked up and saw several aircraft that looked like flying red beetles swooping down quickly, but when they landed, they were as gentle as falling leaves.
When the hatch opened, a large number of machine soldiers and guards walked out, forming a neat queue, followed by mechanical priests holding incense burners.
And they only prepare for one person to appear.
Soshiyang looked calmly into the distance. A tall figure wrapped in a robe made of graphite and carbon thread appeared in the shadow of the cabin. It was about three meters tall and had four upper limbs. Each finger rests on the top of a chrome cane, its head resting high on a hunched shoulder, its face studded with countless rotating gears, and a violet enhanced observation device embedded on the left side of its face.
Judging from these implants alone, it is enough to conclude that the other party has a very high status within the Mechanicus.
Then there is no doubt that he is Bertus Willibald, the casting director of Angstrom.
Of course, the other party also immediately noticed Soshiyang, who was wearing finely crafted armor. Under the protection of priests and guards, he slowly walked into the dazzling sunlight.
"In the name of Omnisiah, I salute you on behalf of Angstrom..."
After arriving five meters in front of Soshyan, it hissed from its speakers Sound of pure Gothic.
"Commander Supreme Lord Soshyan Alexey."
"On behalf of all the officers and men of the expeditionary force, I also salute you, Great Sage Bertus Willibald ."
After that, the two sides fell into a brief silence, and then Soshyan chose to get to the point directly.
"Great Sage, the war has begun."
Bertus Willibald made a brief ticking sound in his throat, as if he was loading some kind of language module, and then he issued a thick Male voice:
"War is not what we expect."
"There is no peace between the Empire and traitors, and the Empire will not tolerate any heresy raging. The Mechanicum is also a part of the Empire."
But the other party did not respond directly to his words, but turned to another aspect.
"I heard that Chapter Commander Soshiyang is quite close to the heretics of Reza?"
In fact, he would have expected that the other party would use this as a reason, and replied calmly:
"It's just normal cooperation. As I said, the Mechanicum is also a part of the Empire. Everyone in this expedition to the Empire has a duty to do so. In addition, I need to correct one thing. Reza was not declared a technical heretic by Mars. For the sake of two castings For world peace, I hope the great sages will be careful in their words and deeds."
"What do you think of their teachings and views?"
"I am a warrior and a soldier. , an Astartes, a commander, but not a scholar, so I can't express any opinion on this, and the Adeptus Astartes are not allowed to interfere in the internal affairs of the Adeptus Mechanicus. All I ask is You can provide the expeditionary force with the evil-killing weapons of the God of Machines, help us defeat those hateful enemies, and protect the Emperor's territory and people."
