Chapter 2813: Oath of Watch
“Lord Vidrianburg.”
Soshiyan paused and gave the order, took two steps, and considered his words.
"I really can't ask the members to do anything. I hope you can understand. Moreover, the whereabouts of the Eldar are erratic. How long do you think this operation will take and how many troops will it take to complete?"
< br>"Considering the size of this Arkworld, I am afraid that at least three battle groups will be needed to coordinate with our dozen or so killing squads, and since it takes time for the killing squads to assemble, the battle groups need to hold them back first and delay their escape, so It may require about five battle groups, plus a certain number of Astra Militarum troops and fleets. Considering the speed and mobility of the aliens, it will need to be encircled and suppressed on all sides. It is estimated that it will take half a year to a year. "
Upon hearing this request, Soshyan finally knew why the other party found him. Together, they also knew that Bejetan was a behemoth. If they tried to swallow it in one bite, they would only choke to death, so they planned to get involved with the Suffering Alliance and have a risk-sharing game. burden.
The alliance even needs to attract the firepower of the Eldar Ark first, giving them time to gather their troops.
“With so many troops and so many fleets gathered, what if they are defeated?”
“The Tribunal is certain.”
“We don’t talk about probabilities now, only the results. What should we do if we miss the mark? And in one year, ascetics, flesh-tearers, including The Lamenters are all an important force in stabilizing the Storm Star Territory. With all due respect, you may have stayed in the Pacific Star Territory for too long and don’t know the current situation in the Storm Star Territory. The activities of gene stealers have increased compared to ten years ago. A full nineteen times more, many worlds and hives have been poisoned, but we have hardly seen any Death Watch activity, only us 'non-professionals' running around, and now we have suddenly left, and we have to leave In one year or even two years, have you ever considered whether the situation in other worlds will deteriorate drastically? ”
Although Soshyan's words were calm, there was a hint of accusation in them, making Vidrian's eyes narrow slightly.
“The Empire is always full of threats, but we must have the ability to distinguish threats from big to big. How can those scattered gene stealers compare with Beetan, the ark that carries a large number of Eldar? More Needless to say, the real target this time is the potential challenger to the empire's hegemony."
"There is nothing that can challenge the empire's hegemony. You are too alarmist. Besides, gene stealers are never a small threat. Don’t you think the aliens in human genes are creepy? Or do you think the doves occupying the magpie’s nest of the gene stealers are not as serious as the wandering Eldar?”
Perhaps you feel that your tone is too harsh? , Soshyan then lowered his voice a little.
"In fact, I am personally willing to help you with your plan, but now the war group is performing tasks elsewhere, and there are only so many people around me. I am afraid that I can't help. I can't make the decision for other war groups. You can personally Go ask them.”
Seeing Soshiyang's attitude, Vidrian also knew that there was no chance. He actually didn't have much confidence in persuading other chapter leaders to implement this plan. The reason why he chose Soshiyang was to rely on the power of this alliance leader and imperial hero. To lead the entire Suffering Alliance, and now that the other party has shown that it does not support it, one can imagine the attitude of others.
“I understand.”
Vedrian is not the kind of person who stalks you. Since the other party has made his attitude clear, there is nothing more to say.
"Then at least, please give us the necessary manpower support and reiterate the Star Knights' oath of watch."
Soshiyang frowned, he had been asked about this more than once However, the Death Watch Captain who supported the Maelstrom Expedition once asked him if he could provide manpower support, because the Astral Knights also initiated the Watch Oath in the past. The so-called watch oath is to provide troops for the death watch. The number of each regiment is different, but more or less some people will be provided.
The Astral Knights had not reiterated their oath of watch many years before the World Engine incident. Soshyan was not sure whether this was intentional, but now that the other party suddenly mentioned it, he really couldn't react at the moment. Come.
After a few seconds, he said slowly:
"You also know that the battle group has been rebuilt less than a hundred years ago, and almost all the soldiers are new recruits. Although some battles have been fought, the targets are basically We are all Chaos traitors. We only fought against the Greenskins at Armageddon. I am ashamed to say that the Astral Knights’ tactics against aliens are still very unfamiliar. I will wait until the warriors hone their skills and improve their experience in fighting against aliens. What do you think about choosing a suitable person to report to Watch Fortress?”
Vidrian didn’t speak, but his eyes expressed his dissatisfaction. Although what Soshiyang said was reasonable, he didn’t say anything. There is no doubt that there is a suspicion of shirk.
Thinking that it was really hard to let the other party return empty-handed, Soshiyang thought for a moment and said softly:
"Well, I am also very concerned about the cause of Death Watch. I just happened to get it during the Maelstrom Expedition. In order to replenish some equipment, the Astral Knights donated 5 Land Speeders and 2 Thunderhawks to the Watcher Fortress. What do you think?”
Hearing this, Vidrian’s tense face finally softened. Slowed down and nodded:
"Thank you for your generous donation, then I won't disturb you, but I still hope that you can pay enough attention to the threat of the Eldar, otherwise maybe all of us will be in trouble in the future. To regret.”
“I will.”
When Vidrian turned to leave, Soshyan couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. At least things didn't develop to the worst, and it seemed to be covered up for the time being.
But what about the future?
The Inquisition has already set its sights. They are patient and will always dig up something.
And he seems to have no choice. Relying on killing people will definitely not work. On the contrary, it will attract more attention. The only way is to draw the attention of the Inquisition to the Death Army.
Considering that Everene is active near the Eye of Terror, perhaps something can be done here.
After persuading Soshyan to no avail, Vidrian went to the Ascetic to lobby, and finally got two veterans to watch the fortress. Then he went to the Flesh Tearer to lobby, and also got one person. This made Soshyan Shijan thought of those tithe collectors in the Ministry of the Interior.
Fortunately, the White Templar has already left, and Vidrian made a mistake. The other party’s nominal home planet is in the Sun Star Domain and is not under his jurisdiction, so he was spared. The battle groups in the Storm Star Territory, including the Mantis Warriors, were all picked up, and at least one person was found.
And during this period, Soshyan was worried that the other party was carrying some device that could detect "alien energy", and he did not dare to have any contact with the Royal Court, until Vidrian pulled a circle of heads and left with satisfaction. After that, he immediately contacted the Royal Court and asked them to send a message to Bejetan and ask them to change their movement route. The Tribunal had already set its sights on the Ark and hurriedly left the Storm Star Territory.
Not long after this incident passed, the ranger he sent to find the Weeper also received news, a news that shocked and angered Soshyan——
