While waiting for news from afar, Soshiyang did not devote himself to the matters of the battle group. In fact, he asked the company commanders to discuss and solve many things by themselves, and he spent the main time improving himself.
These days he often conducted tactical exercises with the commanders of Magyar and Joel, and also conducted several major war deductions. Because since the Battle of Pai Shangxing, Soshiyan has deeply felt his shortcomings in command of large-scale battles. In the past, the command training he received was basically company-level, and the battles of millions still have difficulties that he needs to overcome.
In addition, another thing that attracted Soshiyang the most was the fleet of the battle group.
When the Battle of Pandora was launched, the group had a total of 7 main battleships, including the flagship Soul Unbound, the large cruiser [Eternal Loyalty], the combat barge [Soul Messenger], the strike cruiser [Skyfire], and the moon-class cruiser [Absolute Power] [Ration] [Golden Wind]. However, in the second Battle of Pandora, the Reason was sunk and the Golden Wind suffered a heavy blow. It needed to be squatted in the dock for at least a year and a half to use. Moreover, due to the tactics of Losa sacrificing small battleships, only 3 of the 10 destroyers and frigates before departure were left.
In the previous battle, a massacre-class cruiser [Great Huron] was seized, which was later renamed [Atonement] and was also being repaired in the dock. At the same time, the seized [Never Confession] was handed over to the White Temple.
In addition, after the war, he obtained a Pioneer-class strike cruiser from the Navy, named [Pandora]. However, Soshiyan still remembered that Mars owed him two strike cruisers, so he asked the Stars to urge him, but he did not expect that the other party said that the ship was already on the way.
After waiting for a month, Mars indeed brought two strike cruisers.
But Soshiyan was not happy. Instead, he was a little surprised. It is logical that there are almost five years before the delivery period. Why did Mars actively send the ship?
Faced with his problems, the technical priest in charge of transportation could not say anything, but Soshiyang had a bad premonition in his heart.
Mars......
Sending these two ships is probably just a sideways. It is very likely that they have received information from the Mechanical Ark and sent a fleet to fight with Ruizha.
Realizing that his guess might be correct, Soshiyan immediately went to Victory Trace to check the detection records there - as a large star fort, Victory Trace has an ultra-large scanning device that can detect subspace disturbances in the star area.
As a result, things turned out to be as I had imagined. One fleet marked as Mars was divided into two at the edge of the star zone, one headed to the Nassen Galaxy, which is the two strike cruisers, and the other quickly left the star zone and its whereabouts were unknown.
Thinking that Mars might end, Soshiyan was not nervous, but also secretly happy.
In the current situation, the more muted the water, the more beneficial it is to him. Let the mechanical trainee make trouble first. Only when the trouble breaks out will you have a reason to come forward to clean up the mess.
And now that Riza has not replied, Soshiyang is sure that the great sage is going to break his promise.
But he had no more expectations for mechanical teaching.
If you are not kind, don't blame me for being unrighteous.
Putting this aside in advance, Soshiyan immediately took over two strike cruisers and named them Dawn Guard and Primitive Strike respectively.
At the same time, Soshiyan ordered some small warships from the surrounding casting world. After all, frigates and destroyers in a fleet are also very important. A fleet composed of only large ships will be very bulky in actual use.
Seeing that the Star Knight had three more attack cruisers, Joel's eyes were straightened. He didn't understand when the warship turned into a weed on the roadside, and he could have it if he wanted it.
The Blood Knight now has only one strike cruiser left, and he is lying in the dock of Victory Trace for maintenance. He can't run for less than half a year.
Just when the Knight of the Astrology contacted the surrounding area to order warships, Zhao Akada's representative suddenly came up, and then met and told Soshiyan whether to work together to excavate a scrap ship that contained a mechanical ark.
At that time, Soshiyang was stunned and asked him how he learned the news.
As a result, the other party's answer left him speechless.
Black market for intelligence—
Soshiyan can only say that Riza's confidentiality work is far less sophisticated than they are in the field of plasma. A matter that should have been very confidential is now known to everyone.
When Zhao Akada's representative saw Soshiyang's attitude, he realized that the other party had known it for a long time, so he proposed cooperation very simply.
But what Soshiyan is concerned about is how many people or forces are there who know about this?
Then he used all available information to inquire about this matter, and the result he got was quite unsatisfactory.
Judging from the situation at present, most of the casting worlds in the Storm Field know, and only Lucius and Faeton know about the casting worlds outside the Storm Field at this time, and their fleets have appeared in other locations in the Storm Field.
Soshiyan had to face up to this situation. If it was just a conflict between Mars and Riza, then he could sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight. But if he was involved in several or even a dozen forged worlds, then as the guardian of the empire, the spacemarines must intervene as soon as possible to prevent large-scale internal struggles from occurring and affecting other innocent worlds.
Fortunately, the specific location of the scrap ship should not have been exposed, so the casting worlds are relatively restrained and are just observing in secret. They obviously also consider that it may attract the attention of other institutions of the empire at this time, such as the Astart Memorial Society.
Zhao Akada came to Soshiyan in the hope of using his influence in the star field to increase his voice in this competition.
Soshiyan did not return to the absolute side, but said that this matter still needs to be "see" and it is not too late to talk about the specific situation when the scrap ship appears. Zhao Akada himself is a relatively weak casting world. In this storm, he also holds the mentality of making benefits, not forcing no chance or forcing them.
Just as Soshiyan was actively preparing for this operation, he suddenly received a very unexpected news-
Talos fell.
During a recruit training, he suddenly fell into a coma without warning. This scared the people around him and hurriedly found Valer.
After seeing Talos's condition, Valer told everyone that nothing was wrong, but he then found Soshiyan and after hesitating, he told Soshiyan something about Talos's body.
After hearing that Talos might have died shortly after his death due to genetic seed problems, Soshiyan was very shocked.
I don't know when he started, but he was used to having someone around him who should have been rebuked by him as a "heretic". Whether in the battle group or the legion, he was used to asking Talos's opinion. Even in the most tense battle, he could hand over his back to the other party with full trust.
By Astarte's standards, their relationship can be called-
