The Dominion-class battlecruiser sent as the flagship of the fleet this time is also the last Dominion-class in the Baka fleet. It is called the Light of Faith and has a very rough life. Its construction coincided with the internal fire of the Baka fleet.
And, as a result, the half-built hull was almost dismantled, and the reconstruction was finally completed. In the first deployment of her career, she and the escort fleet were attacked by Necron raiders who did not know where they came from.
She was driven out of the galaxy, and the escort fleet was almost wiped out. This led to her first captain being dismissed for dereliction of duty less than half a year after taking office. After that, she was sent to carry out insignificant training missions until the
A Tyrannic war broke out, which was also the highlight moment of the Light of Faith. After eliminating the aircraft carrier, the air defense force of the Baka fleet was unprecedentedly weak. It could only rely on the ship's own anti-aircraft guns to resist the attacks of a large number of small Zerg units. At this time, the commander-in-chief
The Royal class played a key role, using its only flight deck to well cover the fleet flagship, and providing fire support output from a relatively safe distance.
And it became one of the twelve battleships that survived the war.
From this point of view, the Light of Faith can be regarded as a meritorious service against insects, but this did not change its marginal status in the Baka fleet. As an excluded "remnant", the Light of Faith still performed various idle tasks after the war.
Mission, even many damaged facilities during the battle were not repaired immediately. By sending such a flagship, you can imagine the mentality of the senior officials of the Baka Fleet Naval Base, and aside from the light of faith, this
The remaining 18 ships in the fleet are all Duty-class and Endurance-class light cruisers, and Sword-class frigates, and they are all old ships that have been in service for more than a thousand years.
Although Soshyan knows that the Baka fleet is known as "old and broken", it is not like this. This so-called support fleet is not enough to give Terrence a bite.
"I don't believe that the Baka fleet can't produce a decent fleet! They clearly saw that the Suffering Alliance was here, and they wanted to reduce investment and losses!"
After Soshiyang complained for a while, he suddenly lowered his voice.
"However, Major General Sandy Woodward is very motivated. He is very eager to continue the glory of the Light of Faith in the Tyran War. This man's fighting spirit has not been worn down by long-term boring missions. This is the only thing to be thankful for.
.”
"Perhaps the Baka fleet did suffer too heavy losses in the previous Battle of Macragge. I looked at the files and it can be said that the Baka fleet deployed nearly half of its main force at that time, and more than two hundred ships went to support the limit.
Warrior, as a result, only 12 battleships survived after the war, and even the commander of the Baka fleet died."
"Yes, the Baka fleet has not recovered from this battle two hundred years ago. It may be because of this reason that they have become... a little hesitant to fight against the Tyranids."
"That means you didn't come back because of the Baka fleet."
"No, it's other things. On the one hand, people from the state church are here, and I have to deal with it. Velez means that Ustad may not be able to handle it. In addition... there are some things in that place that I need to deal with personally."
Hearing Soshyan's vague words, Talos immediately guessed what "that place" was, so he asked softly:
"problem occurs?"
"Well, the Bayetan was attacked... According to the description, it was the power of the Empire, a fleet of Imperial ships and a group of unmarked Astartes that attacked the shifting Bayetan, although they didn't
It caused a lot of damage, but seriously damaged Bejetan's navigation system. Not long after these mysterious people left, a fleet from the Third Army arrived. Fortunately, the Royal Court sent a fleet and reinforcements in time to prevent the incident from worsening.
, but hundreds of Bejetan residents were killed or injured... The Bejetan people were very angry and wanted revenge."
After Talos pondered for a moment, he whispered:
"Soshiyang, you can't maintain this position for long. Many forces already know your identity. They will destroy the balance you have worked so hard to maintain and force you to make a choice."
"I also thought at first that the first group of people were disguised by the Third Legion, but the prophet of Bayetan is very sure that it is not, so the only possibility is..."
Soshyan walked aside, lowered his head slightly, and supported the pillar with his hands.
"Thor has been gone for a while, and Sevita doesn't know where he went... Tell me, how can I not suspect that it's them?"
"Actually, it doesn't matter anymore. You just need to know that someone is going to make a fuss about your identity. But I think this matter is a bit weird. At least I don't think they will join forces with the Third Army, even if it is just an unintentional union.
No, there is something fishy about this matter, the Astartes without markings... I think you need to investigate it carefully."
Soshyan sighed, straightened up and turned around.
"But now that the Tyranid Hive Fleet is so close, I really don't have the resources to do anything. I can only do some simple processing now... But it will still waste some time, so I'm afraid you need to take a closer look at the front line.
Now I have entrusted Arash to take command, but as you know, he has no combat experience on this scale. Fortunately, the Tyranids have just been hit and are in the stage of recovering biomass. They should not launch an attack immediately, but their long range
The sailing speed is very fast, so you still have to pay attention to this."
"Then what plans do you have next?"
"Deployment... Well, actually I haven't thought about it. Tyranid is not an opponent that requires complex strategic games, but simple and straightforward force crushing is often the most difficult to deal with. There are tens of thousands of Tyranid biological ships.
This is the biggest difficulty, and I don’t care about the losses. My idea is to wait until the Abyss class can be put into combat and see if there is a chance to destroy the hive mothership, so that the situation can be stabilized at least temporarily."
"It seems...you have plans to stay here for a long time."
"Friend, haven't you noticed that this place is nice? The sky is high and the earth is far away. The products are quite abundant in the Storm Star Territory. Moreover, there is no interference from imperial institutions. The National Religion is a very easy-to-get-together force. If we want to return to the legion era,
The power of two galaxies alone is not enough, but there is a star sector here, as well as very abundant human resources, most of which have firm beliefs and simple thoughts. It is an ideal source of troops, not only for the Astartes, but also for the Astartes.
Mortal troops can also be recruited in large numbers, and I think your company can also replenish its personnel here."
"Ha, this matter is actually already being done, but Cassati is in charge, and I won't interfere much."
Hearing Kasati, Soshyan's eyes darkened slightly and asked:
"Do you trust him so much? You have to know that he is... a person who has defected to another original body. Are you not worried that the people he recruits are different from what you think? Or even tampering with the recruits?"
