Chapter 1897 You Come and Me (Part 2)
“Divide the enemy into squads and attack the enemy Space Marines first!”
When the Terminator Company destroyed the demon army, the recruits of the Tenth Company They used Land Speeders and motorcycles to outflank and maneuver again and again, releasing bursts of bullets and violently attacking the flanks of the Red Corsairs. The remaining Chaos Space Marines either escaped or were completely strangled.
Half an hour later, thousands of Chaos Space Marines were lying on the cratered battlefield. After seeing all this through the equipment, Soshyan on the Storm Bird nodded and gave the order to the company. instruction.
“That’s enough, the battle will be over in ten minutes.”
Although some scattered guys escaped, Soshyan did not intend to waste time anymore. The goal had been achieved. He did not even show up, just hoping to confuse Huron.
Soon, the Imperial fleet withdrew, and Huron, who was attracted by Lysander, received news of the attack after discovering that Lysander had retreated to the main star of Ogstrom, which made him very angry. After all, this is not a war gang, it is the core force that he has carefully recruited. The lack of a thousand men makes him feel as if he has lost a piece of meat.
However, according to the survivors' reports, Soshyan did not show up, so Huron guessed that this might be a separate action by the Flesh Tearers, perhaps to distract him.
Not long after, the imperial fleet attacked again. Huron felt that his previous guess was correct. Soshyan must have wanted to distract him, making him think that the attack would happen again and separate the fleet. To defend those many stations, he achieved a certain strategic purpose, so he did not make any response, but still led the main fleet to fight.
The result made him furious. The imperial fleet was still just a show, and another station was attacked, and more than four hundred direct lineage soldiers were killed.
Huron, who was angry because he had been tricked, immediately launched an attack on Radium Guard 2 under the control of the empire, but was repelled again and lost his troops. In this case, Huron could only shrink his direct troops, but it allowed him to create The blockade is no longer tight, leaving only isolated planetary strongholds and fleets that look like nothing.
It’s not like Huron didn’t think about counterattack. He also tried to ambush the Empire’s “Defying Autumn Wind” fleet, but Soshiyang suddenly seemed to have fallen asleep and there was no movement again.
Even in order to learn about Soshyan's actions, Huron also turned to dark divination and witchcraft. Unfortunately, he did not get any useful signs and predictions after sacrificing a large number of slaves. He almost killed those The dark priest and the wizard were all chopped up.
But not long after it stopped, the main fleet of the empire was dispatched again. At this time, Huron was a little unsure. After careful consideration, he chose to "wait" first to see what tricks Soshiyang played.
As a result, the empire came for real this time. The fleet attacked Angstrom V without any obstruction, and bombarded the dark fortress on the planet indiscriminately. The huge amount of firepower instantly overwhelmed the void shield deployed by the Red Pirates on the planet's surface, especially the hidden main gun of the Eternal Loyalty, directly erasing several major strongholds on the planet from the surface. Only two strongholds survived, and a large number of Mortal servants and Chaos Space Marines died in the orbital bombardment.
Although the damage caused by the raid was not unacceptable, it made Huron very embarrassed. He even suspected that there was a spy. Otherwise, how could Soshiyan always know what he was going to do?
Huron himself is a somewhat suspicious person. Once he has doubts, he begins to test his men, mainly using the ability of his evil pet to detect people's hearts, but the result is, including No one in his inner circle, including his intelligence chief, showed signs of abnormality or rebellion.
Then he came up with another way to test whether there was a mole around him. First, he announced in public that he would launch a concentrated all-out attack from a certain direction. However, when the time came, he did not launch an attack, nor did he attack in advance. Anyone explained that he just wanted to see if Soshyan would take precautions in advance.
As a result, Soshyan did not mobilize the fleet in advance. Instead, when the Huron pretended to assemble the fleet, he launched a small-scale raid, destroying a stronghold and killing more than two hundred Chaos Space Marines. Huron was embarrassed at this time. He didn't really want to attack. After all, the troops were scattered along the blockade. They couldn't actually gather for a while. It was obvious that he had to use his direct lineage to break into Angstrom's powerful defense system. If you are irrational, you will eventually die.
Afterwards, Huron had doubts for a while——
Could his commanding ability really be much worse than Soshyan's?
Is he really not as good as that hypocritical guy?
Huron is not a person who lacks confidence, but the many disadvantages of this expedition did make him a little less confident.
Fortunately, he was a hero after all. He quickly adjusted and realized that it was actually possible for Soshyan to break through, so he made a desperate move to drain half of the Colkerian fleet to Angstrom, and once again increased the recruitment effort, requiring the system to add 30 million more soldiers within a month - the system had already recruited 100 million soldiers three months ago.
The territory that the Red Pirates could operate was already very small, and Huron could only maintain the war by squeezing out every drop of blood.
The other is to strengthen the defense of various planets and satellites, especially the anti-orbital bombing capabilities. The previously deployed void shields proved to be far from enough. Huron used the few remaining resources to attack each The stronghold's void shield was superimposed several more layers, and it directly used the core of the planet as its energy source, as if it was building an iron barrel array.
Of course, Huron did not forget about Badab. Seeing the imperial army gradually surrounding the Badab system, Huron gave instructions to the squadron cruising in the sector to take the initiative to fight and find He was waiting for an opportunity to launch a surprise attack on the empire, and could not allow the expeditionary force to siege Badab so easily. Moreover, he secretly met with a demon prince, hoping that the other party could go to the Badab sector to assist in the battle, without directly joining the offensive and defensive battle. , even if it harasses the empire’s rear.
At this time, he did not know the news about the destruction of Shadow Ghost, and he could not contact that person, so he could only find another one.
Huron knew everything about the deployment of troops in the Badab war zone, and he also knew about the empty situation in the rear where the imperial army was gathering. This was of course due to the efforts of his "intelligence director", but what he didn't know was , everything he did ended up in Soshyan's hands.
Although Huron blocked Angstrom's communications and routes, it was easier for Ockham to pass on information. This is why Soshyan was always able to predict Huron's actions.
After learning that Huron was going to invite another demon prince to cause trouble in the Badab sector, Soshyan found that he seemed to have no way to pass on the news, let alone contact Talos and the others. .
Just then, a certain sage from Angstrom brought an unexpected guest.
