"...Due to the unstable crust of Medusa, the clan of the Iron Hands does not have a fixed chapter monastery. Their home is built in a giant land fortress called the 'Court of Conquest'. This
Brother Yosip, the creator, made a smaller version of the Court of Conquest, called the Mobile Tactics Node, and added many of his unique ideas into it. For example, the Court of Conquest is purely crawler-type, and Medusa is dry and solid.
There is no problem on the ground, but once it is placed on other terrain, it is difficult to move. Therefore, Brother Yosip added anti-gravity equipment to the original crawler type. Although its power cannot lift the entire structure, it can lift the weight on the crawler.
Reduced to the size of a Leman Russ, coupled with our Ryza's powerful plasma heart, it is enough to make it capable of walking on most terrains..."
"Anti-gravity device?"
"Actually, it is an enlarged version of the anti-gravity model of the Rand speed attack craft. We have been studying anti-gravity devices over the years, and have made some breakthroughs after absorbing some... non-heretical technologies."
"I see. The artillery above seems to be of the same type as Leman Russ?"
"Yes, the Destruction Cannon equipped on it is similar to the Leman Russ, which is enough to pose a threat to the enemy's strong fortress. At the same time, its own void shield generator can withstand direct firepower at the Knight Mecha level, but its essence is not combat.
A fortress or frontline breaker is a frontline support node. It has a joint repair room and a small material circulation system inside, which can quickly repair most vehicles and weapons, and continuously produce various products by recycling battlefield debris.
It also has similar ammunition and simple individual ordnance, as well as a well-equipped operating room that can treat injured Space Marines in a timely manner. It is tactically more suitable for deployment on the second line."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, that's incredible."
Listening to the great sage's introduction, Soshyan looked at the war fortress and was speechless. He never expected that a technical sergeant who had been "working behind closed doors" for twenty years could build such a majestic thing.
Then, he looked at Yosip.
"Brother Yosip, does it have a name?"
"Blood Flame Barrier."
"Good name."
Soshiyang nodded, and then said warmly:
"Brother Yosip, do you need me to provide you with anything?"
After a moment of silence, Iron Hand said:
"I want a ship to store the Flame-blood Barrier alone. I also need three thousand servitors, five hundred technicians, and one hundred technical priests."
Soshyan turned to Ultramok aside.
"Great Sage, is it convenient here?"
"no problem."
In fact, Ultramok wanted Yosip to join the expedition for some personal reasons. When Yosip wanted to come to Reza to study, he was very happy because it was to expand the influence of Reza and the Flame-Blood Sect.
Good opportunity. After all, the relationship between Iron Hands and Mars is well known. Being able to poach a corner from Mars would be a great shakeup to Mars' authority.
Ultramok even wanted to support Yosip to become the Iron Father and let him take charge of the Bogus clan. In this way, Reza would even have the opportunity to turn the Iron Hands' partner into himself, which would be terrible.
But who would have thought that this Yosip was a "homebody". After coming to Reza, he would never leave the house or leave the house. He concentrated on pondering his works, hoping that when he returned to the clan after a hundred years of exile, he would let the man who exiled him
Tiefu was shocked and even regretted it.
Sometimes Ultramok feels that this guy is really naive. Even if he really creates a perfect work, he will still slap the iron father in the face when he goes back. Will he make it easier for you?
There is a high probability that you will still need to be punished!
In his imagination, Yosip should have gained some fame with Reza's army, made achievements, and become a hero. Only by returning to the clan in this manner, and with Reza's support, would he have the opportunity to become the new Iron Father, and
I'm not just thinking about maneuvering tactics here.
That's why he semi-forced Yosip to board Soshyan's expedition train this time. Anyway, there is nothing that can be improved on the Flame-Blood Barrier at the moment, so it's better to let Yosip use this to make achievements.
If you are lucky, maybe this technical sergeant can become an expedition hero, and then the return on your investment will be very large.
At this time, Soshyan had already walked up to Yosip and held out his hand.
"Welcome to the expeditionary force."
The other party hesitated for a moment, and then took Soshyan's hand.
"Honored."
After lingering for a few days, when Soshyan left Reza, not only did he have a powerful skitarii and a technical sergeant of the Iron Hands, but there were also dozens of large and small transport ships, full of Reza.
The equipment and supplies produced include 20 powerful Storm Blades.
But what really satisfied Soshyan was the 80 Titans of all sizes!
After all, the Red Pirates do not have the 10,000-year heritage of the Black Legion. Perhaps their fleet is very powerful, but they lack decisive ground forces such as the Titan Legion. The first choice for those technological heretics in the world must still be the veteran overlord Abaddon, the new and cutting-edge
Even though Huron's strength has grown rapidly, he still won't be recognized by them in a short period of time.
After all, in the past ten thousand years, Chaos Warlords have experienced too many ups and downs. Many Chaos Warlords were prosperous one moment, but disappeared in the next second due to various reasons.
Even if they become heretics, for the Mechanicus people, investment must still be directed towards the stable side. Just like if Soshyan did not have the title of Commander-in-Chief of the Expeditionary Force, Reza would never invest so heavily.
Note.
Huron's current problem is that his foundation is shallow. If he can achieve a complete victory in this expedition, then maybe he will get more attention.
But he may not have such a chance.
Now that Soshyan already has a powerful Titan Legion (part of it), even if the number of Space Marines is smaller than that of the opponent, Soshyan has the confidence to compete head-on with the opponent.
In fact, he now has a vague strategy, which is to first block the main waterways in the Maelstrom area and compress the scope of the Red Pirates' activities. Then he will go through the Badab sector and adopt a step-by-step strategy to force Huron to use his power.
He threw himself into the vast front line, and then used a large number of Astra Militarum troops to cooperate with the Skitarii to contain the main force of Huron's Chaos Space Marines. Then he tried to find a way to locate Huron himself, and led a beheading assault to eliminate the opponent.
As one of the few people who has ever fought against Huron, Soshyan is well aware that the Red Pirate has another shortcoming, that is, Huron's own combat power is mediocre, at least he can easily defeat him.
As long as he can fight Huron at close range again, no matter how many bodyguards there are around Huron, he can ensure that the opponent has no chance to escape.
However, this strategy is still in the brewing stage. He has not even discussed it with others. After the expeditionary force arrives on Sagan Prime, he will work out a detailed battle plan with other chapter leaders and command. His plan is to win
It took five years to basically put down the maelstrom.
No matter what happens, the problem must be solved within ten years. After all, his time is very tight. There are many things waiting for him to do, and there is not much time to waste in a war zone.
Just as Soshyan was meditating in his spacious private room in the flagship, a crisp sound of high heels sounded, and then a cup of hot tea was placed on the table in front of him.
