At least from Soshyan's perspective on the battlefield, facing an enemy of Tyran form, extremely powerful long-range gunboats are particularly needed. Before the small Tyran ships can form a siege, they can kill the opponent's large creatures from a very long distance.
ship, and then transfer. The linear speed of the imperial ship is still very fast. As long as it turns around, it can quickly use subspace jump to escape.
This tactic of using "decapitating gunboats" to break away with one blow can cause maximum damage to the Tyranids fleet at the lowest cost, and can also effectively hinder the Tyranids' progress.
Therefore, in this battle, the Abyssal Class will undoubtedly participate in the battle. In this case, instead of being asked and scratching their heads afterwards, it is better to take the initiative to get vaccinated first. This way the explanation will be more convincing, and at least it will not be so embarrassing.
Besides, the Abyss level is actually not that shameful. At least it is newly built and not of unknown origin. Of course, that is provided that no one checks its internal system and construction process...
Mazar blinked, suddenly grinned, and shook his head.
"Soshiyan, you are so courageous. Do you know what the Inquisition will do if they find out that you secretly built a notorious traitor-type ship? They will definitely pounce on you like a mad dog and bite them.
you."
"I didn't think about it so much at the time. I just thought that this ship is quite powerful. If it can be built to destroy as many of the empire's enemies as possible, wouldn't it be valuable?"
"That's what you say, but after all... it took you a long time to build it, right?"
"More than fifty years ago."
"That is, has it been built?"
"It's basically completed, mainly construction is going on in Reza."
Soshyan still told a lie in the end. Mazhar seemed to understand something and said thoughtfully:
"No wonder you got so close to Reza's gang of plasma fanatics during the Maelstrom Expedition... This is likely to anger Mars. You told us out of trust, and I don't have any objections. After all, it's just a ship.
It’s not like the empire has never used traitor ships. The Queen of Glory of the Nemesis Chapter is still the former flagship of the Word Bearers, so it’s still used in the same way. But you’d better keep a tight lid on others, at least for now, you
We just had such a stalemate with the Inquisition, don't give them any excuses, don't use this battleship unless absolutely necessary, and if you use it, it's best to make sure there are no witnesses around."
"Yes, I will remember it."
"Brother Soshyan, how powerful is this ship?"
Seth doesn't care so much, his focus is different from others.
Faced with such a problem, Soshiyang helplessly spread his hands and said:
"I can't say that...after all, I have never been in actual combat."
Mazar then replied instead:
"According to historical records, two Abyss-class ships destroyed Macragge's orbital defense facility, which is known as the empire's second only to Terra. There is no doubt about its power, but this kind of ship seems to be afraid of joining gangs. The two ships were attacked
The heavy losses are all due to the desperate efforts of the Extreme Ancestors to join forces to fight, but even such a powerful warship may not be able to withstand the pace of Tyranids. This war still requires the full cooperation of the Astra Militarum and the Navy, but this will involve another party.
one question."
Soshyan nodded.
"Yes, Lord Magyar, you are right. This is a war that affects the entire sector. Not only the Astra Militarum and the Navy, but also the local state religion, imperial institutions, and even the Death Watch are all involved, so what?
Coordinating command has become a serious problem. If you wait for Terra to order the formation of a command, it will be too late. Generally speaking, according to tradition, the supreme ruler of the local sector usually serves as the wartime commander, but the situation in the Archdiocese
Specially, their ruling class is basically composed of state-religion priests and nobles who are attached to the state-religion. According to the taming edict, state-religion priests cannot serve as military commanders, so when I arrive at St. Casparon, I will communicate with the local patriarch.
Establish the St. Casperon War Zone and form a chain of command based on the model of the Maelstrom Expedition."
"Then it seems that you have already considered it, so I feel relieved."
After saying this, Mazhar let out a long sigh.
"This Tyranid invasion is not a good sign. The priest conducted a divination and the results were very unfavorable. I hope we can get through this difficulty again."
After a moment of silence, Soshiyang said slowly:
"To be honest, I don't have much confidence. If this is really the largest Tyranid invasion in history, Saint Casperon will definitely not be able to withstand such a craze. Moreover, the Storm Star Territory has been weak for a long time and cannot support long-term huge consumption.
war, so I personally believe that the entire star field should increase its vigilance and war readiness level, and must start to prepare for war in an all-round way, so as to avoid that when the worst outcome does occur, everyone will be at a loss."
Seth laughed dryly and sighed:
"No one will listen. Most people will always regard warnings as sensational stories unless they are facing a catastrophe. In the past hundreds of years of war, we have more or less encountered this kind of thing. 99% of those mortals are
Short-sighted guys, their concept is always that if something happens, others can block it, but whether they can block it or not has nothing to do with them."
At the end of the meeting, everyone discussed some things about the Scar of Victory. Considering that the early stage of this war may be based on mobile warfare and evacuation, there is no need for such an immovable fortress, so they will not move for the time being, but there is no need to move.
Representing non-work, Mazar will become the manager of the Scar of Victory. His main job is to collect combat readiness materials as much as possible, including power armor, weapons and other equipment, and fill all combat readiness warehouses to ensure that when they are needed for combat, they will be available immediately.
It can become a strategic point of support for the front line, and this job is not easy at all, because it requires visiting many forge worlds and gaining their support through trading and lobbying.
In addition, although the Knights Errant are already stationed in the Maelstrom and have relatively heavy patrol and defense tasks, they have sworn an oath of suffering after all. If the Weeper suffers, they also promise to dedicate three companies to this war.
Fortunately, Soshyan also understood their current problems and did not let them join the battle immediately. He only temporarily sent a company to be stationed at the Scar of Victory as a "reserve".
After the meeting, everyone immediately became busy. The representative of the White Templar claimed that the Chapter still had some companies performing tasks outside and needed to wait for their return. In fact, they were just waiting for Soshyan, and Soshyan asked the Mantis Warriors Chapter and Tear
The two war groups, the Fleshmen Chapter, set out first, and specially replenished their weapons from the armory of the Alliance of Suffering. At the same time, considering that the Mantis Warrior Chapter also needed to recruit new soldiers, it was hinted that they could privately recruit soldiers in the Archdiocese.
Recruiting recruits, that place is good because there is no supervision. The recruits they recruit can be sent to the Scar of Victory. There is a large-scale transformation facility here, which can provide transformation surgeries for two hundred recruits at a time. At the same time, other soldiers stationed at the Scar of Victory
Chapter Apothecaries can provide technical support in the transformation of their recruits under the Alliance Apothecary Assistance Case.
After the two war groups set off, Soshyan handed the Scar of Victory to Mazar and hurried to Bracato. If it weren't for the fact that there were warriors from the war group around him, he might have used the webway directly.
