Chapter 3104 Get away
After Seth found Soshyan, he immediately complained about Bahram’s command during this period. The Flesh Tearer believed that taking away useful supplies on the ground was a mistake. It's understandable, after all, food, ammunition, and even livestock are useful, but what's the use of refugees suspected of rebelling? What is the value of preserving an excess population?
Seth spoke very straightforwardly. He believed that the Space Marine was not a nanny or a slave caretaker, but a killer and an executioner.
Soshyan just told the other party that this matter will be carried out by Bahram, and he will not interfere in the process. As for whether too many refugees are valuable.
He mentioned one thing very vaguely thing.
More than once, the Astral Knights, the White Templars, and the Mantis Warriors have all said that in the areas where the Flesh Tearers are responsible for defense, there are always some bad rumors, and pale and bloodless corpses are torn apart. Shattered wreckage, and giant monsters muttering in dark alleys.
There are even reports that on more than one occasion hundreds of young men and women were escorted onto mysterious red transport planes, never to return.
Soshyan did not directly accuse Seth, but just said one sentence -
"Even the herdsmen in the primitive world know that they must maintain the size of the herd in order to always have meat to eat. ”
In the end, Bahram’s actions allowed an additional six million people who were destined to be destroyed to survive. Although this was still a small number, Bahram even felt guilty about it for many years afterwards. However, But it made Soshiyang see a side of the tenth company commander that was less likely to be noticed.
During the entire evacuation process, Bahram not only visited the front line to inspect the defense situation, but also kept running between various defense zones and battle groups. Even Seth, who was somewhat dissatisfied, admitted that Bahram had a sparkling quality. and perseverance of willpower.
Even though many company commanders and chapter commanders have a lot of doubts and dissatisfaction with him as a new recruit company commander, Bahram, who has always been humble and gentle in Soshiyan's memory, is uncharacteristically strong and determined, and really He also convinced most people to cooperate with him.
And Bahram's gradually mature organizational skills also left a deep impression on Soshyan. Perhaps the biggest gain for the Legion from this Tyrannic War was him.
But this does not mean that he has to change Bahram's position.
In the period of rapid expansion of the legion, the recruit company has an unusual status. Although it may be slightly lower in the company hierarchy, as time goes by and more and more recruits go to other companies, The influence of the Tenth Company Commander will be enhanced as never before.
After the evacuation, Westeros III also ushered in its final destruction. The atmospheric incineration torpedo ignited the surface of the planet, and everything was wiped out in the flames.
The Hive Mind, which had lost so much biomass, was particularly angry. A large number of biological ships came towards the Imperial fleet that was leaving the planet's gravity well, as if they were going to swallow up the tens of billions of creatures in the huge transport fleet. In the belly.
“The shield in area A2 is weakened, and the output power is 21%!”
In the bridge of the Randall, Soshyan sat on the command throne, watching the magnificent naval battle The scene unfolds in front of you. Hearth's unique panoramic projection observation equipment can make people feel like they are standing on the shell of the battleship. Amidst a burst of sirens, bone-shaped biological torpedoes like molluscs bombard the spacecraft. It hits the ship. The void shield disintegrated, and the erupted fragments were like meteors. If they hit the hull, they would tear open large holes.
But the Randall not only had a void shield, but also a Hearthborn shield generator. The powerful energy shield dispelled the remaining fragments.
In a more distant position, the huge Tyranid hive ship tilted at a strange angle and seemed to be drifting. A large number of biological torpedoes and other flying creatures fell off from the wide mouth of the biological battleship like a suction cup. The heavily armored Tyranids continued to spray out balls of flickering biological plasma.
"Follow the mark and use all black light cannons to attack that abominable thing!"
Following Soshyan's instructions, the spine master of the Randall The turret locked onto its target, and a black flash struck the hive ship.
In a burst of disintegration visible to the naked eye, the outer shell of the hive ship cracked, and fragments as big as mountains flew out from the annihilated flesh. Its soft internal organs ruptured as the body decompressed. Kilometers of guts spilled into space, and were then caught in the gravitational field of Westeros III, which had turned orange, and dived towards the planet's surface, its broken shell glowing red.
"How is the situation of the transport fleet?"
"Report to Chapter Commander! The transport fleet has arrived at the edge of the galaxy!"
"Well, order the Second Squadron to maneuver to the right."
"Yes!"
Soon, the rear fleet began to turn at a large angle, like a sickle sweeping across the void. The Tyranid creatures attacked, beating them to pieces and avoiding a direct impact on the transport fleet.
At the same time, the fleet on the left also began to turn, taking over the position of the previous rear fleet and attacking the incoming Tyranids.
This roller-type retreat mode can avoid being killed by Tyranids in the formation to the greatest extent, resulting in chaos. After all, the transport ship has almost no defensive weapons, and any jumping spore can enter any ship. The ship would be a disaster.
Of course, this strategy also requires the cooperation of the Eldar. They have already cleared the retreat direction of the Imperial fleet in advance and used high-speed ships to contain the Tyranid biological ships trying to outflank them.
Although the two parties have not had any "substantive contact" in principle, they have an amazing tacit understanding.
After several days of walking and running, the Imperial fleet finally broke away from the area covered by the Tyranid Hive Mind and immediately made a subspace jump. The Eldar fleet also quickly left after that. In this place of right and wrong, only the Great Devourers are left to continue to eat the leftovers and continue their conquest and destruction.
It is difficult for Soshiyang himself to judge this battle as a failure or a victory. They still failed to defend the key star system. So far, one-third of the archdiocese has been lost, and the remaining two-thirds are also in danger, but at least they destroyed the order. The worrying Tyranid structure, although it is difficult to say whether the Tyranids will be rebuilt in the future, but since the Necrons have attacked, there should be no future troubles - Soshiyan has an intuition that the Necrons should be It's for Tyron.
As for what to do next for defense, Soshyan had no idea for a while and could only watch the movements of the Tyranid Hive Fleet.
During the return trip, Soshyan had a secret meeting with representatives of Zhao Akada. The meeting location was a conference room on the Abyss-class battleship Randall. , and there was only one thing discussed - the banshee who lost control and went berserk during the actual combat test.
