Chapter 444 Aoyama · Khan decides on his own
In the vast void between the death world of High Valia and the forged world of Calibacus, warships of all sizes floated quietly here, a swarm of Chaos warships.

A Butcher-class strike cruiser.

"Forging Stone" Suotan Wall Braun sat in his room with a gloomy face, drinking the wine presented by the servants.The war smith didn't wear a helmet, one of his eyes had been replaced by a scarlet mechanical prosthetic eye, and there were implants embedded in his bald forehead.

The result of the final battle in the Ni De Lena sub-star area can be said to be very ironic: the Dark Mechanic Cult, who wanted to abandon the friendly army and used some kind of heresy and blasphemous psychic ritual to open the crack and escape early, was wiped out, and originally planned to fight to the death In the end, the Iron Warriors were able to escape several battleships instead.

But Sotarn Brown was not happy.

On the contrary, the war blacksmith is still angry at this moment.

He boasted in front of the black machine oil guy that he wanted to let the little-known battle group feel the anger of the Iron Warriors. As a result, the gang battle was a complete failure. Of the six warships, one crashed, three were captured, and evacuated two.

It was a complete failure.

The only consolation is that all the black machine oil guys who witnessed the war blacksmith bragging about going to Haikou all died on the landing field, and no one would come to slap him in the face.

The bitterness of the fiasco spread on the tip of the tongue.

The war blacksmith still can't figure it out.

Why are those people so strong?
Just like the command mode of the Iron Lord Perturabo, Sotarn Braun likes to pay attention to every detail and every key information during the battle.When he received the information, the strike cruiser "Panshi" hit a jumping torpedo, and within half an hour, the battleship lost contact. No matter how he called, there was no answer. After another three hours, The battleship suddenly stopped in the void without moving.

Too fast, really too fast.

The opponent can occupy the bridge in 10 minutes, and can paralyze the power system in [-] hours. Are the Iron Warriors on the battleship just a bunch of decorations?All sitting still?

At first it was the "Rock", then the "Iron Chisel", and finally the "Steel Cone", one after another, all three Carnage-class cruisers lost contact during the gang battle.

Then word came from the surface: the Kulissatai Titan Legion and the Untamed Lord Titan Legion had been routed by a single Titan.Although the news was unimaginable, the war blacksmith once suspected that the herald had missed a few zeros, but he did not hesitate too much, and immediately ordered the remaining warships to break through forcibly.

It was difficult to escape the galaxy.

"Hmm...boom!"

The war blacksmith slammed down his wine glass.

The old Astartes Legion had never fought the new Astartes sub-corps, and the humiliating defeat not only made him angry, but also made him feel a little scared—will the Lord of Steel punish us?Eleven smash or other means?

"Sotan, Sotan Braun..."

A sigh sounded from outside the cabin door:
"Warsmith, I'm very scared now~"

Sotarn Brown held the wine glass tightly in his hand, and the bronze casting wine glass was crushed in an instant, roaring in his mouth:

"Who is it? Who is talking outside!"

"laugh……"

The hatch slowly slid open.

A burly and terrifying black figure stood outside the door.

Sotarn Brown squinted his eyes and took a closer look. The person who came was wearing a set of dirty black iron cavalry terminators. The entire armor was seriously distorted. If it weren't for the black leather strips hanging from the shoulders and crotch, the war blacksmith could even recognize it. Don't know its model number.The brass trim around the edges of the armor turned into sharp arrows.The white bone spurs broke through the shoulder armor and stretched towards the sky.There was a mouth full of fangs and sharp teeth split in the abdomen, and a tongue was still dripping saliva in the mouth.Some eye-shaped reliefs and pendants with vertical pupils are inlaid or hung on the outside of the armor. These symbols are very familiar to war blacksmiths, and they once had a name...

It's called the Eye of Horus.

Thorn Brown rose to his feet.

"Farcus Kebo."

The war blacksmith called out the opponent's name in a deep voice:

"Did you come to see my joke?"

"Hehehehe..."

The hoarse laughter seemed to come from hell.

His figure is extremely tall. After wearing the Terminator armor, his back will touch the ceiling, like a door panel to block the light outside the cabin door. There is an ambiguous atmosphere around his body, making it difficult to see his face. Scarlet Light illuminated the contours of his face from gaps around his neckplate.

"I'm here to save you, Forging Stone."

Farcus smiled.

"Save me? I don't need to be saved."

The war blacksmith said coldly.

"No, you need it very much."

Facus said slowly:
"The steel belt is over. You didn't achieve the strategic goal, but you suffered heavy losses. Don't you dare to return to Midgard? After returning to Midgard, how will Perturabo punish you? Have you thought about it? War Does being a blacksmith get you out of punishment, Sotarn?"

Midgard is the demon world of Petrabo and the current home world of the Iron Warriors.That planet is located in the Eye of Terror. It is not only a demon world, but also a fortress world. The entire planet is a fortress, with towering towers and dungeons deep into the earth's core.

Sotarn Braun gritted his teeth. Although he didn't want to admit it, he was indeed a little scared to return to Midgard. He didn't know what the Lord of Steel would do to him. Perturabo, who had been ascended to the devil, seemed to have a reversed temper. It became a little bit normal, but recalling the things the Primarch had done, but Sotan Braun didn't want to gamble with his life.

"Do you have any suggestion, Farcus?"

The war blacksmith asked in a deep voice.

"I can give you a choice, Sotarn."

Farcus Kebo said with a grin.

"What choice?"

"join us."

"to join you guys?"

The war blacksmith seemed to hear some joke, he stared at the other party with wide eyes, and said in disbelief:
"You, who are you? Sons of Horus? Or Luna Wolves? A group of loose warbands with no Primarch and no Legion organization, let me join you? Hahahaha, if this is the solution, then I would rather return to Mi Degarde, it's better to bear his wrath than to wander."

The scarlet light suddenly lit up.

It can be seen that Facus the Terminator is trying to suppress his anger, staring at the war blacksmith and saying:

"Although we don't have the Primarch, we have a new commander, the Warmaster! He will lead us to re-launch the revenge against the lackeys of the false emperor, regain everything that once belonged to us, crush the corrupt throne, and burn the galaxy again!"

"What? The Warmaster?"

Thorn Brown had almost forgotten.

When was the last time you heard this word.

…………

Forge world of Atal Median.

High command in theater.

Many officers are arguing fiercely.

Just now, Generalissimo Huxlow announced that the battle plan will be changed. As the main force, the Titan Legion and the Imperial Guard will no longer follow the original plan: divide and encircle the Chaos army bit by bit, compress the enemy's activity space, and erode the enemy's army. Occupy the territory and eventually trap it inside the galaxy.

Instead, it became an active attack, looking for the main force of the Dark Mechanicus for a decisive battle, no longer sticking to the gains and losses of a planet and a city, and paying more attention to the movements and routes of the Dark Mechanicus fleet.No longer wasting time to recover the planets one by one to build a defense line, but to find where the enemy's main force is, and then fight after finding it.

Titan Legion had no comment.

The representative of Mechanicus is still thinking.

The Regiment of the Imperial Guard has raised strong objections.

"I have to remind, Marshal, this style of play is a waste of our superiority in strength. We can obviously surround them and compress them, trap them in the galaxy, but now we want to use our own strengths to attack the enemy's strengths. yes……"

"Yes, we obviously have more troops..."

"The leak did cause a lot of damage, but it was not fatal. Marshal, the Titan Legion has recovered and adjusted, and we are about to launch an offensive again. As long as we proceed steadily according to the original plan, victory still belongs to us."

"Marshal, you know better than us that the Imperial Guard is not a fast-moving force, and we are not the Astartes battle group! Many regiments have been trained to build defense lines and fortifications, and taking the initiative to attack will inevitably lead to heavy casualties..."

Numerous guard officers expressed their opinions one after another.

There are also some staff and staff who are also opposed.

What they said is all correct. When the military strength is superior, it is reasonable to use the superiority of military strength. If the exchange ratio is consistent with the enemy, then it is a failure.Compared with taking the initiative to attack step by step, the loss will inevitably become greater.

But Grand Marshal Huxlow made this decision based on a premise first: the Dark Mechanicus has a certain way to directly open a subspace rift in the galaxy to leave, without going through the Mandeville point outside the galaxy.

The white-haired old man silently activated the holographic projection.

The photos, materials, and analysis annotations submitted by the Grand Inquisitor are all presented in the projection.Including those "strange things" that happened in the "Steel Calamity" campaign: how the traitor Titan Legion unknowingly evacuated and disappeared.

Play continues with the holographic projection.

The guard officer gradually fell silent.

"The evil power of the heretics is permeating reality. We have encountered this situation countless times in the past, and we have learned the painful lesson. The Imperial Guard must learn to adapt, and learn to adapt to the way the Chaos fight."

Sid Nora looked around and said in a deep voice.

"Where people lose land, all people and land exist."

"If you lose your land, you will lose your land."

Fu Qinghai said a word lightly.

"What do you mean?"

The head of the Bloodthirsty Chapter came over and asked.

"This is a proverb in ancient Terra, which means that in most situations of war, preserving vitality is more important than occupying city strongholds."

Fu Qinghai explained.

For the Dark Mechanicus, they don't care whether they occupy the territory of the empire, they just want to plunder resources.So in response to this situation, we can't just focus on regaining the lost land of the empire, but give priority to attacking the opponent's vital forces, and cut off the looting and transshipment of the Dark Mechanic Cult.

"It felt very philosophical."

The leader of the Bloodthirsty Chapter nodded.

"Sage Xiao Fei, may I ask the Titan... Legion of the Phaeton Forging World, can you fight this time?"

Grand Marshal Huxlow turned his head and asked.

"Uh, the damage from the last battle hasn't been completely repaired, so I won't be able to fight for a long time."

Xiao Fei was stunned for a moment and said.

This was Xiao Fei's first time representing a foundry world to participate in a meeting of this level, so he was a little nervous.The technical priests around the steel ring looked at him with a little bit of unkindness, and they didn't know where this hostility came from.

Could it be jealousy?

"Okay, anyway, thank Master Quinto for me, thank him for helping the Iron Ring war zone, I would like to express my sincerest thanks to him on behalf of the Imperial Guard, Phaeton Forge World is the way of Om Messiah model."

Grand Marshal Huxlow said sincerely.

Also tried to come up with a Mechanicus-style compliment.

"I'll pass it on to him."

Xiao Fei nodded in response.

The "Golden Armor of Broken Army" belongs to the Forge World of Phaeton. Although the Cult of Mechanicus did not require it, the Forged World of Phaeton took the initiative to send the "Golden Armor of Broken Army" to participate in the battle of the steel belt. Marshal Huxlow was naturally very grateful.The nominal foundry director of Phaeton Foundry World is Master Kunto, so he asked Xiao Fei to convey his thanks.Master Kunto was doing experiments in Phaeton, and somehow received a thank you from a Marshal of the Guards.

And the real instigator is Aoyama Khan.

Sitting on the side laughing without saying a word.

It’s also a model... Phaeton’s foundry world is the biggest heresy of the way of the Ohm Messiah. If Mars knows what Phaeton is usually researching, he will be pissed to death.

"Ahem, if you have no comments."

Under the old appearance of Generalissimo Huxlow, his eagle-like sharp eyes scanned the entire venue, especially pausing on Fu Qinghai for a while, and then said loudly:
"Then follow the new battle plan."

The main body of this plan was submitted by Fu Qinghai. Marshal Huxlow only modified and improved it on his basis, enriching the specific steps and arrangements.

"Yes, Marshal."

Imperial Guard officers stood up and saluted.

The Sage Ruler from Mars, representatives of the Mechanic Cult from various forge worlds, and tech priests whispered to each other. After a silent and secret data exchange, they finally agreed and agreed to the new plan.

The meeting adjourned.

Generalissimo Huxlow left Fu Qinghai alone.

"Qingshan, I approve of your battle plan. Besides this, I have a separate task for you."

Although Fu Qinghai is an interstellar warrior and Hexrow is a mortal, Fu Qinghai looks very young, and his actual age is also younger than the Marshal of the Guards, so Grand Marshal Huxrow also addresses him with a bit of the closeness of the elders to the younger smell.

"Please, Marshal."

Fu Qinghai nodded.

"I realized that you are very good at jumping gangs. The Dark Mechanicus can be handed over to the Titan Legion, and the cover Titan Legion can be handed over to the Imperial Guard, but the Chaos Space Marines, I want to hand over to your battle group. My scouting clipper found, Near the remains of the Forge World of High Valia, a Chaos Fleet is gathering on the outskirts of the Forge World galaxy of Calibax. I don't know what their plans are, but I want to send you over there to have a look. I won't set you up Any specific plans and goals."

"It's still the same sentence."

"Everything is up to you to decide."

Generalissimo Huxlow said affirmatively.

"I see, Marshal."

Fu Qinghai nodded calmly.

"May the Emperor bless you, Qingshan."
