Chapter 3126: The Suspicion of the Holy Eagle
“Defender Network? Chapter Leader, what is that?”
Oscar caught an unfamiliar term in Soshiyan’s words, so he boldly asked , Soshyan also explained to everyone in detail.
The so-called Defender fleet network is a defense plan that has been proposed very early but has not yet been implemented. Due to the short range of the Defender fighter planes, it is difficult to cover the entire galaxy and can only defend key planets. Therefore, in When the construction of the Defender fighter jets began, Soshyan had a bold idea, which was to build a large number of air stations in the galaxy. These air stations were mainly located on asteroids with relatively fixed positions, and they were hollowed out to build hangars. , command centers and other facilities do not need to be too large. They can accommodate a thousand fighters at a time. The distance between them is almost half of the ultimate range of the Defender fighters. This ensures that the range of operations of the fleet is expanded, even in Enemies can be stopped at the edge of the galaxy.
The only problem is that the amount of work is relatively large. According to the estimates of the Mechanical Sage, if this network is to be completed, the entire Neisen galaxy will require nearly 2,000 air stations.
After weighing the pros and cons, Soshyan further modified the plan, abandoning the method of using natural stars and switching to using "containers" as the air station!
Of course, this container is not a real transport container, but a code name. Its appearance does look very similar to a container. It is a huge rectangular parallelepiped. Its structure is so simple that it is almost crude. It is a storage warehouse and a launch platform. The supply depot and control center have no engines and almost no defensive weapons. Movement and deployment require towing by transport ships.
The disadvantages are almost all-encompassing, but there is only one advantage -
It is cheap and easy to manufacture. With the industrial capabilities of Nessen Galaxy, it will not take long to produce a large number of them.
However, this plan has not been finalized, because Soshyan is also considering whether such a tight defense network is needed, but this attack made him determined.
"Also, have you noticed that the ship types of the guerrillas are very different from those of the empire?"
The company commanders all nodded after hearing this.
“Did you notice it? Do you have any profound meaning?”
“This is the designer’s ingenuity. The reason why it is designed to be flat is to easily fit it into the cabin of a large ship. , and its width and weight have been carefully calculated, and it can be completely inserted into the flight deck of the Emperor-class battleship, and a large anti-gravity plate can be temporarily installed on its bottom, which means that it can actually be carried by the Emperor-class Although they can’t carry many ships for subspace navigation.”
When the surrounding company commanders heard this, they all marveled.
After that, Soshyan went to check out a battleship belonging to the Third Army captured in the last naval battle, the Retribution-class battleship Mystery.
The ship lost the ability to control after the entire bridge was destroyed. Later, for safety reasons, Luke had people drag it to a satellite of Nathan 6, and then Elena took control of it. Avesta approaches the hulk and releases the eagle.
The specific process, including how many holy vultures Elena released, was unknown even to Luke. Elena just said hello to him, and he didn't even know what a holy vulture was at the time.
About 10 hours later, Elena told Luke that the interior of the ship had been cleaned up, but it was best to wait until Soshyan came back to deal with it. At that time, Luke was in a hurry to go to the Archdiocese for support, that is, Didn't check it out.
So when Soshyan boarded this huge battleship, the first thing he felt was the cold.
Although there were many holes in the ship, most of the internal structure was intact. When the gate was opened, a chill hit the face, even colder than the void outside. Walking all the way into the depths of the ship, in addition to the various blasphemous and twisted decorations that are essential to the Third Legion, there are all kinds of ugly and disgusting slaves, such as a girl whose body has been forcibly sewn together with three legs and five hands, and men and women with Mortals of different types, young and old, were stitched together from the front and back to form the uncomfortable human centipede, which was more than ten meters long, all of which showed how deeply the army that once bore the name of the Emperor had fallen.
But these have all turned into corpses, frozen corpses that will shatter at the slightest touch.
The soldiers who followed Soshyan all the way were surprised by all this, and whispered about what killed them.
After walking for a long time, they saw the Chaos Space Marines for the first time. Several corpses wearing blasphemous armor were piled in the corner of a hellish torture chamber, as if they were mice being chased by cats, nowhere to be found. Those who could escape were crowded together.
When Soshyan lifted their corpses to the front with his feet, he saw that the highly mutated heads showed a strange gray-brown color, their mouths opened wide, as if they were still screaming before death, and there was a deep slit on the front of the armor. The scratches seemed to be made by some ferocious beast.
In addition, Soshyan also saw traces of ablation on their armor, but it was only limited to a small area, as if something spontaneously ignited.
Looking at these corpses, a scene appeared in his mind. The symbols of worshiping the evil god on the Chaos Space Marines suddenly burned. At the same time, they began to scream in pain, and then ran as hard as they could, but something was chasing them. Reluctant to give up.
In the end, they escaped here, turned around and wanted to resist, but were shot away. They could only huddle back to back and wave their weapons in vain.
Then they fell, on top of each other.
The heat in their bodies was drained, their souls were eaten away, and even their gods could not save them.
“.This is the Holy Vulture.”
Soshiyang was thoughtful. He nodded. He had never used this thing once. On the one hand, it was not needed. On the other hand, Elena said that they could not be deployed without Avista, otherwise accidents would occur.
But he always remembered that sentence, the holy eagle was prepared by Xerxes for the "primarchs".
But as time went by, Soshyan gradually became suspicious of this sentence. With Xerxes's character, he should not secretly plot against his brother.
Unless
Unless he knew the Primarchs would rebel?
Then it would make sense if these holy eagles were prepared for the rebel primarchs.
Wait a minute——
Soshiyang suddenly remembered that there were nine holy eagles in total, and the original body of the rebellion also happened to be nine!
No, it is rumored that Alpha is the twin primarch.
Or, one of Alpha did not actually rebel.
If this is true, why didn't Xerxes stop it? And why didn’t the Emperor use the Holy Vulture
Did Xerxes never tell the Emperor about this?
The reason?
Also, why can the Holy Vulture deal with the rebellious Primarch? And why should the numbers match the mutineers?
All kinds of questions came one after another, and suddenly Soshyan realized that Xerxes was by no means a simple victim, he seemed to be planning something.
Is everything just a disguise? ?
Will he know what I am thinking at this moment?
Will he explain?
