After learning the reason why Yarek suddenly praised Arni, Soshyan had to admit that those people's tricks were really deep, and this long circle could actually get them in front of him.
Old Morales is indeed a veteran in the military world. He is still very familiar with the system of the Astra Militarum. He thought of such a roundabout strategy and supported it by promoting the political commissar of the regiment. Remember his son.
From a personal preference, Soshyan prefers old Morales’s roundabout, or more euphemistic way of recommendation. Count Vaughn has indeed worked very hard, but it is also too much. It was so deep that it made people uncomfortable, and Veronica was a taboo for him, but this guy tried to get to the bottom of it, which was a little too ignorant. Maybe he planned to use Veronica as a handle to blackmail him?
Although the probability is very low, it is not impossible. These nobles like to play conspiracy tricks the most, so if they have to choose one of the two, Soshyan personally prefers Arni, but those two Liliths The Jade did make Veronica very happy, because that kind of gem has long disappeared even among the Eldar. There are many theories about the end of Lilith, the goddess of dreams, in the Great Fall, although it is generally believed that she is the same as the other gods. Devoured by Slaanesh, some Eldar prophets and scholars believe that the Dream Goddess may have hid in her mysterious Dream Kingdom under the cover of the Mother Goddess Isha - in the Eldar myth "Paradise Falls", Lilith was Described as the daughter of Isa.
As a divination and prayer object for the goddess of dreams, the Lilith Jade can not only be used to build a new Lilith shrine, but can also give Veronica the ability to dream walk, which may help her decipher the secrets about Iraq. There are so many different roles in Sarah's dilemma.
Such an important treasure cannot be ignored.
However, there were more than just these two people entering the venue. A month ago, Velez sent a message from the patriarch from far away. It has to be said that there are many people from the state religion, and that patriarch The bishop recommended Porter, a high-ranking paladin (the highest level of the Crusaders) of the Santa Cruz family to Soshyan.
That Potter was also in this expedition. He led a "militia group" called the Eternal Burning Sword. If you don't take into account their closed carapace and all their manpower, Taking into account the Hell Gun and a large number of Punisher and Exorcist armors, it is completely a regular armed force of the state religion in terms of composition. He joined the expedition in the middle of the expedition and participated in more than a dozen battles, as well as the subsequent siege of Badab. He has outstanding military exploits, and even led the Paladins around him to take the initiative to charge against the enemy's Chaos Space Marine squad.
The State Church is obviously also very interested in controlling the center of the maelstrom, and may even want to transform Badab into a pilgrimage world or a religious world, and their price is also the highest. After the expedition, The state church will declare Soshyan himself to be the eternal guardian of the Maelstrom and the most powerful angel of punishment in the empire. All churches will be engraved with his image and name, and there will be several festivals or special events named after him. Rituals, these seem very nihilistic and have no real benefits, but they can bring Soshyan a reputation that almost no one can match in these 41 millennia. After all, the Maelstrom is the central node of the imperial trade route, and his name and deeds will be It will spread to the entire galaxy with the help of the maelstrom, and will be praised for centuries and thousands of years.
For space warriors whose life is glory, this is almost the most impeccable reward.
Having said that, Soshyan does not have much confidence in the state religion. If we talk about the nobles, Terra may have various means to smooth things over, but the state religion has been the object of vigilance for the high lords since the Apostasy Rebellion, even if If he really appoints a governor with a state religion background, it will be difficult for him to secure his position under the pressure of various forces. If he cannot keep his position, then there will be no point in talking about it.
However, for now, Soshiyang doesn’t have a really confirmed candidate in mind, and all the forces of the maelstrom are still on your side, and everything may be known after the battle is over.
So when meeting Arni, Soshyan couldn't help but chat a few more words with him. The young "general" seemed very excited and vowed to fight the enemy to the end and to die. Loyal to the emperor, Soshyan just told the other party with a smile that life is harder than death, especially if he can make his soldiers survive as much as possible in the battle. After arranging the defense forces of the Moon of Destruction, Soshyan also made arrangements for the various Astartes battle groups and fleets. Generally speaking, he divided each battle group into four parts.
The first is the fleet that assists in the defense of the Moon of Destruction. This fleet is mainly composed of the Dark Angels and their sub-fleets, as well as the Navy's Gogotan cruise fleet. The flagship is the Queen of Glory and Unyielding Truth. It includes 2 battleships, 1 battlecruiser, 7 battle barges, 23 strike cruisers, 21 heavy/large cruisers, 14 light cruisers, and 92 destroyers/frigates. The fleet is protected by the Dark Angel. There are four chapters including the Devotees, Disciples of Caliban, and Star Phantoms. Their main mission is to attack the enemy's space hulk Savage Crucible and protect the capital ship against the enemy's gang-hopping troops.
The second part is to intercept Zhu Fu's fleet, which is mainly composed of the White Scars and several battle groups, as well as the Navy's Armageddon fleet. The flagship is the Emperor-class battleship HMS Courage, including 4 battlecruisers. 2 battle barges, 19 strike cruisers, 14 heavy/large cruisers, 31 light cruisers, and 85 destroyers/frigates. The fleet is protected by five White Scars, Predators, Destroyers, Berserkers, and Storm Lords. The battle group, their mission is not to defend, but to attack. This is what Kosaro Khan meant. Zhu Fu led a group of stragglers, which seemed to be powerful, but in fact was full of flaws. This hunting master was confident in the naval battle. Cut off this rebellious son of the Khan.
Since Corsaro has this confidence, Soshyan cannot refuse, and he believes that Huron will not give Zhu Fu too much power. In a sense, the Black Heart King may still count on the empire to help. He solved the problem.
The third part is the troops and fleets stationed in the Kara system, which includes most of the Charaton fleet. The flagship is the Emperor-class battleship, including 1 Scourge-class battleship and 1 Mars-class battlecruiser. ships, 3 battle barges, 12 strike cruisers, 10 heavy/large cruisers, 14 light cruisers, 52 destroyers/frigates, protecting the fleet are Salamanders, Blood Swords, Star Dragons, Ascetics, Rangers They are protected by five battle groups including Warriors and Nova Warriors. Their mission is to prevent the Red Pirates from attacking the Kara system and to support the other two battlefields at any time. But more importantly, they create the illusion for Huron that the defenses of the Kara system are empty.
For Huron, Soshyan's move must be exactly what he wanted. A trap set in the Kara galaxy is part of Huron's plan. According to what he thought, Soshyan would definitely be there. When he personally led the troops to attack the Kara system, he launched his ambush. By then, Soshyan would no longer have any extra power. At this time, as long as the Blackstone Fortress could travel through the subspace, he could counterattack Soshyan. One hand.
What Soshyan has to do is to follow Huron's ideas, but he believes that the final result will be different. When Huron fully expects his Blackstone Fortress to create miracles, he will find that the Blackstone Fortress will never catch up. No more battlefield.
So the fourth part is also Soshyan's formation. In addition to the Sun Fleet, it also includes the Astral Knights, the White Templar, the Imperial Fists, the Sons of Dorn, the Iron Knights, the Black Templar, the Crimson Fist, and the Celestial Lion Chapter. , Weeper, Flesh Tearer, Crimson Blade, Minotaur and other 12 battle groups, with a total of 68 large battleships, and hundreds of small and medium-sized battleships, with only one target.
Huron!
