According to the instructions of the Inquisition text, the rangers went to the "unmanned" world and found a wild kingdom, but not only the wild kingdom. There are several huge network gates in this virgin world, but most of them are closed, and only one is still in a state of use. According to the statements of local residents, this gate leads to a powerful ark world, called Iyanden!
It is obvious that the first attack on the human colonial fleet was Yiyangdeng to ensure that the net gate would not be discovered by humans. However, local residents also said that Yiyangdeng's personnel and ships had not appeared from it for many years.
Because it is located in a deserted corner of the Milky Way and has not contacted other arks for many years, the kingdom named Sotai is very isolated. The residents also have strong distrust and rejection from outsiders. Although they have not driven away the rangers, they have also made it clear that they are not interested in the eternal royal court and just want to live a life without interruption.
Soshiyan has a lot of things now and has no time to deal with it. After listening to Salanya's report, he signaled to send envoys to contact him slowly, bring some gifts to the local residents, and inform them of what was happening in Orps, reminding them of possible dangers. Of course, the rapid response fleet must also patrol there frequently to ensure that its safety will not be attacked by those who fear the death.
After dealing with these things, Soshiyang rushed back to Amala without stopping. The information brought by Lana was actually quite useful. At least he now knows how the enemy plays, and he has a better mind. He can make adjustments in military deployment.
But as soon as he returned to Amara, he immediately heard something that surprised him-
A company of the Raiders' Chapter arrived at Amara.
This is an old friend. One of the White Scar Sponges that participated in the battle at the Great Vortex was also the mother group of the Mantis Warriors. This time he led the team, Julio, who was familiar to Soshiyang.
Soshiyan immediately met with Julio. After ten years of meeting again, both of them were quite excited and had a long greeting. Then Julio told Soshiyan that the battle group was currently helping the local galaxy fight against the green skins in the Taiping Star Domain near the Storm Star Domain. However, after receiving the support request from the High Lord, a company was sent here. Because he knew that Soshiyan was also there, he came to Julio, who was more familiar with him.
Although a company of Space Marines can play a limited role in this war, it is better than that. Soshiyan is also very grateful to the other party for choosing to reinforce when the troops are in short supply.
Then he devoted himself to the intense and continuous preparations.
The information provided by Lana actually confirmed Soshiyan's previous speculation that when the enemy started war, it is highly likely that the enemy would choose to first bomb the main star, then launch a large number of infantry, then turn around to fight against the human fleet, and use the speed difference to kill two birds with one stone. Therefore, he would continue to strengthen Amara's orbital defense, and at the same time increase the large void shield and other protective facilities on the surface of the planet, as well as a sufficiently solid underground bunker, while the deployment of the fleet remains unchanged.
During this period, the spider group of Necromonda had a small riot due to food and treatment issues. Fortunately, the handling was prompt and it was quickly appeased. However, Soshiyan was also a little curious about this army from the famous recruitment world of Empire Fist. Their equipment was quite good, even better than the Krieg Death Legion, especially the infantry support weapons. The company-level support firepower was higher than that of Soshiyan, and many of them had never been seen before.
Moreover, they are actually very unique in the entire Necromonda Legion. The Necromonda Task Force sent to Orps to support this time had a total of twelve regiments, nearly 600,000. Except for the Scheming Spider Regiment, the other regiments' equipment is not much different from the normal Astral Army, which is just a slight difference in personal equipment, but this regiment is too unique.
After a deeper understanding, Soshiyan realized that the Nekromonda spider regiment was a very unique "efficient mobilization force" in the military department's organization. This organization is often used for the gangs who have a very high level of civilization and have a certain degree of organization to recruit soldiers. The recruited gangs can use their equipment and only need to add the logo of the Astral Army to the equipment. In other words, they should actually be considered "militia" - using their own weapons, equipment and organizational models, but they will join the political commissar and the priest of the army.
And there is another very interesting thing, that is, Necromonda's spider group all comes from a family in the world, named the Van Sauer family. Soshiyan didn't understand the situation there. At first, he thought it was Necromonda's ruling family, but the supreme political commissar of the spider group relieved his doubts.
It turns out that the Van Sauer family was not the Necromonda family, but it has a technical empire that monopolized the entire planet, controlling most of the key facilities involving complex technologies, as well as most energy production facilities such as electricity, progesterone, etc. In addition, they also have huge factories and top-notch technical workshops. The nobles will also spend a lot of money to purchase various technical products of the Van Sauer family. For example, the very famous Jue Hunter mostly comes from the family's workshops, and there are even many nests that even their basic operations require the technical support and maintenance of the Van Sauer family. It can be said that in a sense, it replaced the function of the Mechanical Cultivation Council in Necromonda.
So in Necromonda, although they were all under the rule of the emperor, they naturally accepted the doctrine of the Mechanical God from the Mechanical Cult so that their factories and production lines could maintain production. However, once the dogma of the Mechanical Cult is not effective and the arrogant technical priests of the Mechanical Cult cannot be called, the factory owners will naturally look for people from the Van Sauer family not far from them.
In this unique atmosphere, the Van Sauer family also has a high degree of organization and discipline that many Nest Gangs do not possess, so they are regarded by the Ministry of Military Affairs and become extremely unique and efficient mobilization soldiers. The spider mark of the Scheming Spider Group is said to be derived from the badge of the Van Sauer family. However, the direct members of the Van Sauer family will hardly leave Necromonda. The soldiers are basically members of the subordinate gangs and Ogmek members of the sidelines - this is a unique warrior class in the Van Sauer family, which is famous for its technological power.
With some intense curiosity, Soshiyan examined some of the unique equipment of the Necromonda spider group.
