Chapter 3091 The Abyss Enters the Battle
Hearing Bahram talk about the rebel army, Jacob was startled for a moment, then lowered his voice and asked:
"What rebel army? It can't be anything. Son of Horus."
"It's the Thousand Sons. Zhao Akada used to be the equipment supply world for the Thousand Sons Legion. It has deep connections with the Legion and also deployed part of the funeral corps in the world. The former home planet of the Thousand Sons, a great rebellion broke out, and the Empire sent a legion to suppress it. It was said to be the Space Wolves? I didn't know much about this history. It should be the Space Wolves, led by the original body Leman Russ. The troops went to exterminate the Thousand Sons. In the process, the mourning corps sided with the Thousand Sons to resist the Empire. Although Zhao Akada did not side with the rebels, the stain was still left. Right, the chapter leader also said , the mourning corps performed very well in that battle, defeating the Death Skull Legion, one of the top tier of the Adeptus Mechanicus at the time. It was precisely because of this incident that Mars erased most of the records about the mourning corps. These were all attributed to Zhao Akada himself. "
Jacob's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Huh? Deathskulls, wait! Aren't they traitors? Why isn't it right? Let me think about it. The Thousand Sons were traitors at that time. The Funeral Corps helped the Thousand Sons, and the Deathskulls helped the Space Wolves. But Deathskulls were also traitors. Why does it sound so weird? Ah? And why did Mars cover up for the traitor? "
"Ha, of course it was due to the so-called self-esteem. The most powerful legion of Mars was defeated by a small legion in a remote place, even if the most powerful legion rebelled. , Mars is not willing to admit this shame, because it means that Mars' Titan technology is not as good as the backcountry in their eyes."
"I thought those transformed people didn't have emotions like honor and disgrace."
"Be careful what you say. If the mechanical priests hear it, you may be blacklisted in the Forge World. Anyway, although it has not been liquidated, Zhao Akada still hid the remaining Titan Legion. If it weren't for the war, The Chapter Leader is too proud to give it to them, but it is not entirely because of the Chapter Leader. The Archdiocese is very close to the Forge World. If it falls, the Tyranids may attack the Forge World itself next. , the sages still know the truth of the death of lips and teeth. Even if they don't know, the chapter leader will explain the pros and cons to them clearly. It is better to contribute now than to contribute in one's own territory."
"That's it. This time. How many Titans did Zhao-Akada send? ”
"There seem to be 16 units, two detachments. One detachment of the mourning corps contains 2 Warlords and 6 Marauders. After they support here, they will immediately be transferred to support other areas."
Right in Bahra. When Mu was talking, the Titan detachment had already ceased fire and changed direction, moving with heavy steps towards another battlefield that needed their support. This is the main purpose of the mourning regiment in this battle. As a mobile support force, don't look at it. The God Machines seem to be very cumbersome when walking, but due to their size, they are actually very fast, and there is no need to worry about the ambush of small Tyranid creatures during the journey, unless something of the level of the Insect Saint or the Harvest Insect appears. , otherwise no Tyranid creatures can threaten them, so they also bear the task of protecting smooth road traffic between various strongholds.
"Huh? Wait, I just found out"
Jacob picked up the telescope and took a look, and then asked doubtfully:
"There is no War Dog Titan Are they all predators and generals? Isn’t this a normal composition? Is there no faction?”
"Ah, I have had this problem too. The chapter leader's explanation is that because the mourning corps spends most of its time in the security zone around the forge world and rarely participates in expeditions, since the main battlefields are places that have been guarded for many years, The crew's familiarity with the terrain makes it unnecessary to deploy Scout Titans, so building War Dogs is seen as a waste of precious resources. The Legion has very few War Dogs."
"That's it. But. Seeing that they are quite flexible and their attacks are very accurate, I think Zhao Akada's technology in making titans should be very powerful. He should build more big ones, such as Warmaster level, Emperor level, etc. How powerful would that be?" br>
"Who doesn't understand the truth? Why don't you give me resources?"
Bahram rolled his eyes, then turned around and picked up the helmet.
"It seems like someone has been killed on the knight side. I want to take a look. You keep an eye on this place and report the situation immediately."
"Yes!" However, just as Bahram walked down the stairs, a harsh roar suddenly came from the sky. He then lay down on the rotating metal handrail, turned his head and looked up, and saw a huge wreckage falling. It had a thick chitinous carapace and long tentacles, but these were burning.
"Did the fleet come to support again?"
But soon, a second and a third one appeared.
Bahram senses something is wrong. Although the fleet comes regularly to support, it is rarely this efficient.
It wasn't until the wreckage of a huge hive mothership slowly fell that he was convinced that something was going on in space.
"What happened?"
"This is the Abyss-class battleship. It is indeed a battleship made of gold, worthy of its cost."
Abyss-class battleship Lan On the broad bridge of the Doyle, Talos smacked his tongue while staring at the "cut in half" hive mothership being slowly dragged to the ground by the gravity of the planet. Kassati was also beside him, with the same expression on his face. With a surprised expression, around the Abyss-class, many ships of the Human Empire gathered like small creatures clinging to a big fish, firing fiercely at the Tyranid creatures in all directions.
Not long ago, when this ship suddenly arrived near the Westeros system under the escort of the Hearthborn battleship, all the captains of the empire were shocked. No one among them recognized this model. The ship's system was unable to identify the ship type, and some people even thought it was an Eldar or other ship of the opposite sex.
Of course, this does not include several chapter leaders of the Tribulation Alliance, because Soshyan has passed the Qi in advance and informed everyone that the Astral Knights have such a ship-a ship acquired from the Hearthborn.
That’s right, Soshyan’s external caliber was bought from Lu Yi. As for how Lu Yi got it, he didn’t know.
Anyway, there is no rule in the empire that says you cannot buy short-manned ships. After all, the Imperial Merchant Fleet itself occasionally buys short-manned transport ships, and the rogue merchants also sell second-hand short-manned products to various worlds in the empire every day. Including Terra.
At most, his behavior may be questioned, but Soshiyang doesn't care so much about gossip now, there is enough anyway.
Luco then communicated with fleet commander Malakin, briefly informing him that he was ordered to drive the newly completed Randall to assist in the battle, and to obtain such an invincible giant ship, Malakin Jin immediately felt confident and immediately organized a counterattack.
The effect of the Abyss class has lived up to expectations. In fact, many people are curious about the power of this giant ship.
When the black light cannon on the ship's spine fired a salvo and instantly killed a hive mothership, the channel was full of exclamations and praises, and even Malakin was shocked.
Talos ran directly from the Unbound Soul to the Abyss, and Kassati also came with him, visiting the bridge of the completed ship with great interest, although they had already seen it once .
