Although the Red Pirate retreated, the remaining poison he left in the Angustorm galaxy was not cleared. Before Huron left, he massacred all the cultists who remained in the galaxy, and used their lives and blood to turn the occupied planets in the galaxy into forbidden areas where demons and evil spirits were rampant. Those huge fortresses also turned into demon nests. In order to ensure that the production after the world was not disturbed, Soshiyang could only stay for a while to clean up the chaos pollution in the planets. Of course, this matter was mainly dominated by the gray knights, after all, they were more professional.
As the battle of Angustorm was basically over, the subspace fog that enveloped the galaxy created by Chaos Wizard gradually dissipated, and news from the outside quickly rushed towards Soshiyang like a tide.
There are four most important things, and each of them makes Soshiyan a headache.
The first thing was from the Badabu War Zone. Helblet led the army to spend a lot of time and effort to finally solve all the defenses of the Badabu Galaxy, including the demon world. However, he encountered huge obstacles when attacking the Badabu Main Star. According to the instructor's personal narrative and video data submitted by the messenger, the entire Badabu Main Star was almost the demon world. And Hongsuo was likely to summon a Tsengchi Demon, which caused not only ineffective orbital bombing, but even the extinction weapons they put out, such as bipolar torpedo, turned into some kind of strange living creature before they entered the atmosphere. Some warships gradually saw the control personnel suddenly opening the air gate, and there were also shooting commanders or riots.
Although the Tianliu War Chapter, the Cryer, and even the Red Hunter who came to help had a think tank, they could only barely fight against the powerful malice from the main star of Badabu. In the end, the fleet had to leave Badabu's orbit and could no longer perform extinction and bombing missions.
Now Badab has become an unstable bomb. If you don’t deal with it, you may cause some big news at any time, but if you deal with it, you may blow yourself up to a bloody and bloody situation.
According to military common sense, the optimal solution at this time is to ignore it and throw it aside.
But two points were particularly emphasized in the report sent by Hullblet.
First of all, there are a large number of Red Pirates defending Badab, and they are relatively elite. If they escape, they will inevitably cause huge trouble or even strategic crisis. It is absolutely not enough to guard them by relying solely on the navy and the astral army. This means that implementing the siege plan requires a large amount of valuable mobile forces - Space Marines.
The second is that the person who defends this place is a Chaos Lord named Hong Suo.
This guy, Soshyan, is naturally familiar with him, but according to Helblet, Hongsuo may have returned to the Fourth Legion, because when he besieged Badab, there were warships of Iron Warriors trying to break through the edge of the galaxy and enter Badab. If Hongsuo is allowed to be here, then there may be a steady stream of Iron Warriors War Gangs to join the battle in the future. Once the scale is formed, Hongsuo will definitely try to counterattack, and the troops will be needed at that time.
After looking carefully, Soshiyan knew that Herblet's idea was clear-Badab must fight, and he had to fight quickly, and the more he dragged, the harder he would be to fight.
In fact, he basically agreed with this idea, mainly because the Fourth Legion was a huge variable, which he had not expected before. After all, it was already very difficult to deal with the Red Pirates. Another rebel legion, even if it was only a small part of it, was enough for Soshiyang to suffer.
I thought that occupying Angustorm would trap Badab's defenders, but now I think it's too ideal.
But the question is, how to fight?
At least, according to Herblet's description, there is no good attack method for Badab, but Soshiyan is not there now, and I don't know the specific situation. Judging from his feelings after getting along with Herblet these days, the Black Temple Marshal has a very firm and even cold-hearted heart, and is quite fanatical about his beliefs. Since the other party has this tactical intention, there should be corresponding tactical arrangements, and in the end he just gave a guidance-
Acting at the camera, fighting with caution
In addition, Hulblette also had a request, hoping that the Grey Knight could help in the war, so Soshiyan immediately contacted the great mentor, who expressed his willingness to perform the mission. Then the Eighth Brotherhood immediately set off for Badab and brought a large number of Angustorm's transport ships, filled with weapons, equipment and military supplies produced by the world.
The second thing is from the salamander, mainly from the second one who returned from Endymion.
But in fact, the news was first conveyed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, then the logistics agency of the Expeditionary Force, the messy nobles of the Nest Du, and finally the salamander.
Generally speaking, when Salamander cleaned up the mess and prepared for war, his logistics supplies were "deliberately delayed", and even the soldiers' food rations were short. However, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the logistics department said that they had given enough corresponding materials according to indicators and data requirements. So what was the problem?
In Tushan's report, he was indignantly accused Endymion of the many nests of the rulers and nobles of "starting all their people to death, while hoarding food in private warehouses for high prices", and told Soshiyan that a famine was spreading throughout the whirlpool area, and the prices of various major foods increased ten times compared to last year. Some nests had already had large-scale cannibalism. He really couldn't bear to see so many people starved to death, and had to use a large amount of military supplies to help the hungry people.
Picture 'Shan said it was very serious and scary, but Soshiyang didn't believe it. Although the Great Whirlpool was frequent, due to a large number of trade activities, the Empire was actually a relatively wealthy area as a whole. Although the Demon Prince had destroyed a lot of agricultural worlds before, most of the residents of the Empire could not eat those things, so synthetic food should be enough.
He speculated that Endymion might have been because of the stockpiling of a large number of troops, and the military logistics transportation has squeezed out part of the share of private trade routes, which has caused food prices to rise, and a slight supply problem has emerged. Salamanders are more famous for caring for the people, so they have the illusion that the situation is very serious.
As for the virtues of those rulers and nobles in the nest, Soshiyang naturally knew very well, but how to say that, in a sense, they were the grassroots managers of the empire. Some things even if he was in power, he could not change them. This was determined by the empire's state system, and he could understand Tu Shan's anger.
But even if Tu'Shan killed those people, it would not be of use, so the key point is not to let the contradiction between the two continue to intensify.
Soshiyang personally wrote a letter to Tu Shan. On the one hand, he sincerely comforted the other party. He did not blame Tu Shan for embezzling military funds privately, but he hoped that he would first consider the combat issues, and on the other hand, he also explained the current situation and told the Salamander's commander that they were Space Marines after all, and it was not their responsibility to govern the empire, and some things could only be invisible.
