Chapter 2295 Urging the Return
Suchyan chose the Oberon-class battleship, a relatively "mediocre" model, for the same reason as the Mars-class battlecruiser. The ancient ship type also adhered to the popular "all-round warrior" concept at the time and was equipped with a wide variety of weapons, including light spears, macro cannons and attack aircraft squadrons. The ship's weapon array was sufficient to defeat enemies of the same level at long distances. The ship causes damage, and when used in conjunction with the light spear, it can severely damage a cruiser-class ship in a short period of time. At the same time, the attack aircraft it carries can directly destroy the opponent, continue to protect the mothership, and can also be sent to attack other targets. In addition, The warship also has a strong self-sustainability and includes a complete resource recovery and recycling system, which allows the warship to operate in the void for a long time.
Of course, although this kind of all-rounder battleship can be suitable for any mission, it is good at everything but not good at anything. It is not as good as the heavy artillery battleship in terms of firepower and sturdiness, and it is not as good as the light cruiser in rapid support, and it is not as good as the light cruiser in flying formation. Its capacity and command are far inferior to professional aircraft carriers such as the Emperor class.
But it suits the Astartes very well!
In Soshyan's vision, after returning, the Astral Knights will no longer operate as a battle group in a short period of time. The command level needs to be tempered, and the company will go out to perform tasks alone, and under different circumstances For missions, they can choose different types of ships. For example, if they are just suppressing cultists or gene stealers and do not have obvious naval power, they will use strike cruisers. If they are just suppressing cultists or gene stealers and have certain naval power, they will use higher-level ships. If the battlecruisers are going to perform key missions in relatively distant areas, then Oberon-class battleships will be used to cooperate with other battleships, while the main battleships that are not suitable for the Astartes combat style will stay on the home planet to maintain combat readiness. Be prepared to respond to emergencies at any time.
Based on these thoughts, Soshyan made his choice.
The founding general was also very happy (he thought he had killed Soshyan), and packaged it together with the ship's technicians and slave workers as gifts.
In addition, Soshyan asked the other party for 6 more Goliath-class foundry ships. He knew that the Foundry General would definitely agree to him, because the price he had given before was already "generous" enough. .
The Goliath-class foundry ship is a light cruiser-sized ship in the Adeptus Mechanicus fleet. These ships provide maintenance and repair services to capital ships, remote outposts, and merchant fleets, although their size is not the same. It is small but its crew capacity is only equivalent to that of a standard transport ship, but it carries a large number of maintenance boats and engineering ships inside, as well as a super-large gravitational traction device that can anchor battleship-level capital ships to its side. Damaged ships are then quickly repaired using various repair and maintenance facilities.
The combat effectiveness of a fleet is not just about who has more guns, more torpedoes, and more fighters. Logistics support is also a very important part. This is why many battle groups have difficulty executing long-term naval battles even though they have strong fleets. Due to the mission, once a ship is damaged, it will easily lose its combat effectiveness, making it somewhat timid during fleet operations.
General Casting agreed to Soshyan's request without much thought.
However, it takes a certain amount of time to revive the ship's machine soul, so Soshyan and the Astral Knights also temporarily stayed in the airport of Mars, but he had no time to idle, and quickly discussed with Andal to rebuild the Tiger Claw matters.
Soshiyan’s idea is to first let the apothecary of the Astral Knights transform about a company of recruits, and then Andal will join the Suffering Alliance as the chapter leader. Tiger Claw will then move to the Victory. Anyway, there is still a lot of space there. Under the current circumstances, building a home planet is too conspicuous. It can only exist as a ship-based battle group first, and the equipment these Astral Knights will provide.
But just as Soshyan was planning a series of matters after his return, he was startled by several sudden visitors.
“Your Highness.”
When Ada, who was wearing a ranger cloak, took off her mask, Soshyan was really speechless. You must know that this is the solar system, the heart of the empire. As a result, several Eldar jumped out of the moon in vampire lurkers. After that, it flew all the way to Mars. No one discovered it in the critical period. Soshyan had to worry about the defense of the solar system.
But this may also be related to the vehicle they use. The Vampire Lurker is a variant of the Vampire Raider, the main transport gunship in the Ada Craftworld. It has long-distance void navigation just like the Thunderhawk gunship. Ability, and very fast, can carry thirty Ada soldiers at the same time. The vampire lurker sacrifices part of its carrying capacity to enhance its stealth performance. Although it can only transport twenty soldiers at a time, it can activate a phantom The shield is the most advanced shielding device of the Eldar. It is immune to almost all existing human detection equipment and can also achieve complete invisibility at the visual level.
However, they were discovered after getting close to Mars, but not by Mars, but by Amnak and Li. The former asked him to meet Ada quickly to prevent them from being discovered by others. , the latter told Soshyan to finish the matter quickly and let these spirit tribes leave. Sun Watch is not just for free, and they will find out soon after the moon's webway gate is activated - as for why the moon is... Soshyan didn't even find it strange that there was a webway portal.
So Soshyan quickly called these Eldar to meet on the flagship.
"What happened? Who asked you to come?"
In the hidden flight deck, parked was a completely black and perfectly streamlined Ada fighter jet. Soshyan, who was wearing regular clothes, looked helplessly at the Adas who were half-kneeling on the ground. "Stop kneeling and say it quickly."
"It's Your Majesty."
"What's wrong with Veronica?"
Soshiyan His voice suddenly became a little nervous.
"Your Majesty, there's nothing wrong. Just let us come and see you to see if you are okay."
"I"
Soshiyang rubbed his head helplessly, but he knew and There was no point in getting angry with these errands, so he calmed down and said slowly:
"I'm fine, tell her not to be nervous, I'll be back soon."
"Yes, Your Highness."
"Is there anything going on in the royal court recently?"
"No big deal, just some wanderers and some envoys from the Craftworld and the Savage Clan. Lord Doral is still reorganizing his troops recently. , but there were many different voices in the parliament, and it didn’t seem to be going very smoothly.”
Obviously, Doral was also urging him to go back through these subtexts. Soshyan was silent for a moment and nodded.
"Go back and tell Mr. Doral that you need to strengthen the security of the royal court and be wary of possible enemies. Also, tell him that I got the Phoenix Holy Grail and let him investigate the function of this thing first."
Hearing the Phoenix Holy Grail, several Aida showed expressions of surprise and confusion. Obviously they did not know what it was.
"Okay, you go back quickly. This is the solar system and there are many eyes and ears. Once exposed, the Imperial Army will be attracted."
"Yes."
