"Two, we are here to discuss the situation, not to attack each other."
Seeing the dispute between Seth and Samuel escalating, Soshyan then tapped the table and all the sounds disappeared again.
"And I don't want to hear similar remarks and accusations in the expeditionary army in the future. Here are all loyal servants of the emperor, and all the leaders and warriors who are honored by the battle group. Perhaps the combat style of each battle group will be different, but that is also the result of history and tradition. No one should be suspected and doubted. Everyone's remarks represent not only themselves. We are far less than heresy. If we are not united, we will definitely live up to the emperor's wishes."
Hearing these words, Seth snorted and stopped talking, while Samuel looked at Soshyan.
"Commander-in-Chief, the Badabu sector is very important and must not be abandoned."
Soshiyang smiled and nodded, comforting:
"Don't worry, Mentor Samuel, as the highest leader of the Expeditionary Force, I naturally have the responsibility to defend the land. I will not easily abandon the world and people of any empire unless I have to."
Then he looked at Laishande again.
"But Company Commander Laisander's opinion is also a meticulous and polite statement."
Then he stood up.
"Everyone, I have discussed the situation of the Great Whirlpool with the Great Sage of Reza, and we finally reached a consensus... Let me keep an eye on it first. I'll ask you, who is better, compared to Huron and Abaddon?"
After a moment, the Iron Knight's Company Commander Kaduron said:
“It’s no doubt Abaddon.”
As soon as he spoke, everyone also expressed their opinions that it was indeed Abaddon.
"Why? For soldiers and fleets alone, Huron is not much worse than Abaddon, because Abaddon has more direct troops? But he has also experienced several failures."
"Because Abaddon can afford to lose."
Hullblett calmly answered Soshyan's question.
"The world of heretic mechanical sects in the Eye of Fear basically supports him. As long as his main force is not damaged, relying on the equipment and materials provided by the casting world, he can immediately organize a continuous legion, but the center of the Great Vortex does not have this condition. It will be difficult for Huron to recover if he loses the capital at hand. He can only replenish the losses suffered through continuous plundering."
Soshiyang nodded, and was even more amazed at the strategic vision of the Black Holy Marshal. He also realized that there were too few heroes he had met before, and there were countless such figures in the Milky Way.
"Yes, the consensus I reached with the Great Sage of Reza is that the Red Pirates seem to be at its peak, but their foundation is still shallow. Huron absorbs traitors like a sponge and also pays corresponding costs. Therefore, it is necessary to continuously expand the scale and frequency of plunder. Once Huron is cut off through the channels of plundering and replenishing materials and equipment, then the huge Red Pirates are a mud-footed giant. Their fragile self-sustaining power will not be able to support their huge bodies and eventually crush themselves."
Everyone nodded.
"Then reasonably, quick battles and decisions are more beneficial to Huron, but in the past two years, he has not really launched an active attack, and even did not take action when the expeditionary army is not yet full of strength. What do you think is the reason? Or push forward, why has he never really driven the power of the empire out of the Badab sector in the past few decades?"
"He was worried, or there were still some problems that had not been resolved, so he did not dare to really provoke a total war with the empire."
Malakin answered Soshyan in a low voice.
"There are not only Red Pirates in the vortex, but also another group of larger traitors."
"Who?"
"The Word Bearer, although only part of the former legion, has been standing for ten thousand years. Before he rebelled, Huron had repeatedly attacked the Word Bearer in the Demon World Galmek. Both sides had died and injured each other. During this period, the Black Temple also organized an expedition to almost destroy Galmek. Huron once ordered several whirlpools to be fired at the world, but it seemed that some kind of evil witchcraft did not work... I believe that even though Huron has become a traitor, those Word Bearer are still hostile to him.
Before the Word Bearer was settled, Huron's main force might not dare to launch a long-distance surprise attack easily... In addition, although there are not many soldiers in the Expeditionary Force now, four or five thousand Space Marines cooperate with the local Star Army, Guards, and the Titan Legion. It is difficult for the Red Pirates from afar to have any results without 40,000 to 50,000 people. This number is almost all the core personnel of Huron. As for sending out those peripheral war gangs, not to mention whether they can fight, just such a thankless thing, how could they have a life for Huron?"
At this time, Hullblet suddenly spoke.
"Captain Marlakin, are you talking about the operation called the Angry Expedition conducted by Marshal Corder against the Great Vortex during the 869.M41 period?"
Malakin nodded.
“It was that time.”
"I have seen the records of that battle. The Claws of the Stars, the Crying Ones, and the Mantis Warriors all sent their main forces, and the Expeditionary Force recovered many occupied planets, including the New Badab, who is now occupied by Huron, and also destroyed some completely corrupted planets controlled by the Word Bearers. They also killed several high-level commanders of the Word Bearers, and wiped out the large number of demons they summoned, including a terror-torn demon, who almost came to the demon world Galmek."
"But before the end of the battle, the Black Holy Church suddenly evacuated and claimed to have been recalled by the Empire. We still don't know the reason."
Hulblett answered Malakin with a expressionless face.
"The Grand Marshal was transferred to support the Tyron threat in the Otrama area, and Tyra's attitude was very firm."
"Well, it's like this, but we didn't know at that time, and we had to withdraw from the vortex and couldn't continue to complete the original mission. And because of this retreat, the area that was originally occupied was lost again. However, the hatred between the Word Bearer and Huron was completely formed. In the next few decades, countless small-scale battles broke out between the two sides... Even during the Huron rebellion, the Word Bearer was constantly causing trouble for him, constantly inciting heresy riots and attacking Huron's outposts and supply lines in the rear."
Soshyan thought for a moment, then raised his own questions.
"What is the world occupied by the Word Bearer? It can still stand firm under the siege of the Black Holy Church and the entire Guardian of the Great Vortex?"
Malakin, who had personally participated in the war, explained to him:
"That's not a simple demon world. I have no way of knowing how this world came about, but it looks more like a casting world, with huge furnaces and smelters on it, but it produces not ordinary machinery, but various desecration demon engines. It is precisely through these words that can compete with the military power of the empire."
"It's actually forging the world... How many troops do the Word Bearers have there?"
"We speculated that the troops we had about 6,000 during the Angry Expedition were about 6,000, and at least half of them were recruits. Galmek was also a major source of recruits for the Word Bearers. Boys of the Right Age who they had plundered from all worlds would be concentrated here for transformation... As for the size of the Word Bearers' fleet, it seemed not huge at the time, but we also considered that most of the power of the Word Bearers was in the Eye of Fear. If the war was not good, they might come to reinforce, so they did not dare to invest all warships to attack them at once, and they always retained half of the fleet as a reserve force."
"Who is the ruler or person in charge of this demon world?"
