Chapter 247 The Crimson King (Please subscribe)

After the fleets assigned to the New Expeditionary Force received the order, they stepped up their preparations and then headed to the Tannus system in the Otanius sector to assemble.

The huge fleet group stayed near various ports and space stations in the Tannus system, completing final personnel adjustments and waiting for the final order to set sail.

A large number of transport ships are shuttling between different warships to complete loading tasks.

Personnel also used these shuttle ships to travel between different ships, preparing for the upcoming expedition with unprecedented enthusiasm.

After deliberation and discussion by the Ministry of Military Affairs, this new expeditionary force was designated as the Fourth Expeditionary Force in the empire, with Li Xin as its commander, and its flagship being the battleship Holy Glow.

The number of the Fourth Expeditionary Force has changed many times. Many people think that this number will definitely be given to a new army. After all, the first, second, and third expeditionary forces have all used numbers that match the legion, making them consistency.

The three major legions made great contributions to the expansion of the empire's territory. Wang Ben, Bai Qi, and Zhang Han once became heroes sung by the empire.

Many children are proud to play Imperial Stormtroopers.

The children who play the roles of the three regiment commanders often have to be the king of children among their friends, and are highly trusted and admired in order to have such an honor.

It is the influence of the three major legions that makes people agree that the number of the Galactic Empire's fourth expeditionary force should be given to the Fourth Legion.

However, no one could have imagined that it was Li Xin, the ancestral warrior, who received the number of the Fourth Expeditionary Force, and that the new legion strengthened by the former Spartan warriors was their auxiliary.

This decision confused many people and did not understand why the empire made such a decision.

The legion composed of storm warriors is the strongest and most powerful combat force in the empire, but now it has been reduced to auxiliary status.

However, what the world thinks of is the influence and illustrious military exploits of the three legions, while the Imperial Council considers the comprehensive promotion of the Ancestral Warriors.

Although Storm Warriors are powerful, they require greater investment and cost, and large-scale deployment is unrealistic.

The technology used by the Ancestral Warrior is more mature and cheaper, more suitable for large-scale promotion, and can be produced according to industrial standards.

The empire needs military exploits and meritorious deeds to prove to the world the superiority of the ancestral warriors.

In order to achieve this goal, the expeditionary force formed mainly with the ancestor warriors received the green light all the way through the approval process and successfully obtained the number of the Fourth Expeditionary Force.

At the same time, he was also assisted by strengthened Spartan warriors.

As long as nothing big goes wrong, it is only a matter of time before the Fourth Expeditionary Force becomes famous and the Founding Warriors become widely known.

In terms of weapons and equipment, the empire also fully supports it. All kinds of advanced power armor, vehicles, and weapons are priority supplies.

The only shortcoming is in terms of battleships. The Celestial-class battleships designed independently by the Galactic Empire are still under construction. The Fourth Expeditionary Force can only use battleships as flagships.

The technology and time required to build a giant battleship comparable to the size of a planet are completely different from ship units such as battleships.

At this stage, all major expeditionary forces use weapons recovered during expeditions.

There are still some Celestial-class battleships in the empire.

But those celestial-class battleships were all captured by various legion expeditions.

They have priority in allocation, and as the three major legions are about to be split, those Celestial-class battleships will definitely be taken away by the companies that will be separated, and used as a trump card for the new legion and the new expeditionary force to start.

For the sake of fairness and to take care of those soldiers who were fighting incessant bloody battles, the Ministry of Military Affairs gave up the idea of ​​forcibly conscripting Celestial Body-class fortresses from various legions, thus encouraging the Fourth Expeditionary Force, which did not have Celestial Body-class battleships, to grab one themselves.

The senior officials of the Fourth Expeditionary Force did not have much objection to this.

They had no intention of relying too heavily on friendly forces. Instead, they planned to make a great military exploit and sail on the Celestial-class battleship they obtained.

With the fluctuation and distortion of the void, several battleships flew out of the subspace and arrived at the Tannus system.

The Spartans led by Master Chief John are on these battleships.

The Spartans originally followed the Third Expeditionary Force against the Covenant. After the Battle of Calaputh, they returned to the Otanius sector, completed preparations there, and were then transferred to the Fourth Expeditionary Force.

After receiving the order, John did not question or complain. He immediately gathered all the Spartans who had completed the transformation and rushed to the assembly point in the Tannus system.

The Tannus galaxy is a standard industrial galaxy, with a series of spaceports and orbital defense platforms suspended in the void, and a large number of ships docked inside, waiting for final maintenance and material shipments.

Their arrival immediately alerted the patrol fleet and armed space station, and the light spear array and electromagnetic turret locked onto them immediately.

It wasn't until they completed the safety procedures that the weapons gave up their locks and turned in other directions.

After the warship anchored at the designated port, several transport boats flew out.

John took several Spartans to attend the expeditionary force meeting.

The Holy Glow of the Fourth Expeditionary Force fleet is anchored in the inner ring of the Tannus system for final replenishment of supplies.

Outside, supply and repair ships hovered near the battleship, like worker bees feeding a bloated queen.

After the transport boat that Master Chief John was on completed the review process, it entered the apron of the Holy Glow.

Although he accepted the transformation of the Legion, John knew very well about himself that he was an excellent soldier, not an excellent commander.

It was too difficult for him to command the entire army and complete the strategic layout.

When fighting against the Covenant, General Keith Lovell was basically in charge of commanding the battle. He usually just carried out orders and charged at the front.

The arrival of John and others was warmly welcomed. Several military officials received him and guided him to the strategy room where the senior commanders were located.

The battleship Holy Glory was still busy inside.

Staff on every floor are working hard to prepare for the war.

Scaffolding covers large swaths of the walls, and trains rumble and run non-stop to deliver supplies.

John saw a train carrying armored containers, heavy tanks, weapons, armor and other supplies.

A large amount of military supplies are continuously flowing into this huge battleship and being transported to various storage centers for storage.

There are also many enhanced warriors in the ship. They are shorter than the storm warriors, but they also wear power armor and seem to have good combat capabilities. The best among them may be as good as the storm warriors.

More importantly, there are a lot of them, and they can be seen standing guard everywhere on the ship.

Sometimes, you can see an organized team performing patrol missions. They are fully armed, led by combat drones, and followed by supply trucks.

"Are these the ancestor warriors?" Jerome, a Spartan warrior who also underwent enhanced surgery, said in the communication, "Their number is really amazing."

"According to the establishment of the Imperial Council, each Ancestral Corps can reach the level of people, and there can be multiple Ancestral Corps in an expeditionary force, which means that they can expand without restriction and are more controlled than Storm Troopers. It's much smaller." John told the information he had obtained, which made several of his companions quietly exclaim.

"Is the empire going to comprehensively strengthen its basic troops? Promote the Ancestral Warriors on such a large scale." Tire, the companion on the side, also spoke.

"It should be a new policy that takes into account some powerful alien races and the difficulty for ordinary armies to fight against those alien races." Johnson, who is also a Spartan warrior, also expressed his opinion, "Ordinary infantry teams are too hard to fight against those alien races. It’s difficult, Jiralhanae, and the Sangheili battles have caused us heavy casualties.”

While discussing, several Spartans went deep into the Holy Glow under the leadership of officials.

<divclass="contentadv">They passed through the train hub, left the main road and entered the cargo hold passage under the watchful eyes of the soldiers.

It's also busy here, with lift trucks loading giant transport ships and medium and large mechas.

John saw several giant mechas that were more than fifty meters tall. They were like giants, standing in the middle of the cargo bay, waiting to be activated and become steel behemoths that controlled the war situation.

The personnel of the Logistics Department and the Engineering Department kept shouting and were busy sending those precious war materials into the huge cargo holds, while using automatic crawlers and robotic arms to transport them to high places.

Countless huge, armor-covered silos were arranged in a hexagonal shape and stacked on top of each other.

These silos are filled with various equipment and ammunition.

Automatic defense artillery hung above the arch, and the detectors flashed red, scanning for every enemy.

These detectors have multiple scanning modes, which are electromagnetic communications, and they can also capture and even analyze their contents.

When John and others passed by, the gun was pointed at them, and it was not moved away until their identities were confirmed.

After the cargo compartment is a food compartment with a refrigeration function.

Every battleship has a life cycle system, but it still needs to store enough food for the crew.

After all, a voyage lasted for several years, and he always took nutritional ointments, fearing that he would go crazy before the enemy could be conquered.

As John and others walked by, some food storage compartments were opened by the staff, and the cold fog instantly spread in the corridor, shrouding them.

However, the freezing cold air was soon sucked away by the roaring air ducts, and at the same time, streams of fresh air were sprayed out to maintain the appropriate temperature and oxygen content. Otherwise, too low a temperature would cause certain hazards to the staff. physical injury.

Walk past the food cabin and take the elevator to the upper floors.

After getting out of the elevator, they passed through a huge arch and walked more than a hundred meters to their destination.

Jerome, Till, Johnson and others were all asked to wait outside. Only John was allowed to enter the strategy room.

Letting Jerome and others wait outside, John walked in alone.

After crossing the door of the strategy room, the first thing I saw was the shrine enshrining the sculpture of the God-Emperor. It was embedded in the wall, majestic and tall, and its head almost touched the edge of the ceiling dome.

A brazier is placed at the foot of the sculpture, crackling and burning.

The strategy room is very large, even if a hundred people are standing there at the same time, it still looks very spacious.

In the middle is a huge round table strategic platform. The projection machine outlines the projection of the Fourth Expeditionary Force in the Tannus system on the strategic platform. There are also interfaces full of various information such as the expeditionary force's warships, troops, and logistics supplies. .

There are no lights in the strategy room, but the dim light emitted by the holographic projection and information interface and the firelight of the brazier illuminate the entire strategy room.

The senior commanders of the Fourth Expeditionary Force have all gathered here.

Fleet Captain-Asagai, female, is also the captain of the Holy Glow. She has a perfect resume. She graduated with honors and served in the First Expeditionary Force. After the establishment of the New Expeditionary Force, she was selected as the Fourth Expeditionary Fleet. Captain of the fleet.

The leader of the demon hunters - Geralt, male, was born in the Rigel galaxy. He graduated from the demon hunting academy with honors. He has followed Dante on multiple demon hunting missions and also went to the Cape Town galaxy to eliminate the Weeping Angels. He has experience Rich, after the empire launched its army expansion plan, he was promoted smoothly and was transferred to the Fourth Expeditionary Force as the demon hunting leader.

Triss, the supreme commander of the psyker force, is a powerful psyker recognized by the state religion. She once assisted Dante in completing the mission of wiping out the Weeping Angels in the Cape Town Galaxy. The 177th psionic force was also transferred to the fourth position. Expedition.

Archbishop De Asis, he is responsible for leading the saint warriors and the state priests. Faith is particularly important in the expeditionary army. The soldiers will be fearless because of the blessings of the priests.

As the most devout fanatics of the God-Emperor, saint warriors and priests often hold high their banners and charge at the forefront, leading this holy war expedition that highlights the glory of the God-Emperor.

The state religion is also responsible for the purification of conquered areas. Pious faith is mankind's strongest weapon against evil spirits and all unspeakable things.

In addition to them, there are also Zelik who serves as the general technical advisor, several army generals, heads of the mecha corps, etc.

Each one is vital to the expedition.

John's arrival attracted everyone's attention, after all, he was so tall.

Li Xin smiled, "Welcome our Master Chief, thank God, I thought you would miss the entire meeting."

"I'm sorry, we encountered turbulence when we came here, which caused us to be an hour behind schedule." John gave the other party an imperial salute.

"After all, subspace is not our territory. This kind of mistake is not a big problem." Li Xin said, "It's just that the strategy meeting is already halfway through. I can't return it for you, but I will have someone copy the meeting content to You shouldn’t have any big problems, right?”

"There is no problem." John said. He did not dwell on this matter. The Spartan Army was only assisting, and Li Xin was the real commander of the Fourth Expeditionary Force.

"Then go back to your seat. The previous topic only discussed the supply issue of the expeditionary force and did not involve real combat. Therefore, even if you did not participate in the previous meeting, it will not affect what you hear next. "

John walks towards his own position, which is easy to identify.

The chairs and tables used by Storm Troopers are specially made because they are one size larger than those used by ordinary people.

When he sat down in his seat, the official who had stopped before continued speaking, and the fixed projection screen also changed again.

"The Nephilim Sector is the sector where the Human Alliance will store sealed objects in the later period. Based on the information obtained from various expeditionary forces and the Imperial Exploration Team, the Human Alliance may store to percent of the sealed objects. Sent to the Nephilim Sector in an attempt to exclude sources of danger from human society, thereby ensuring the integrity of human civilization. Of course, this plan ultimately failed. Humanity did not survive as a result, and the Nephilim Sector due to its containment There are too many sealed objects, and it has become the first star sector in the Human Alliance to lose contact. No one knows what happened there. Some people speculate that high-level sealed objects are out of control!!"

"High level? How high level?" Zelik asked curiously.

"The Human Alliance divides sealed artifacts into F, E, D, C, B, A, and the highest, S. So far, the empire has a total of tens of thousands of S-class sealed artifacts. Sealed artifacts that reach this level , they often involve concepts such as time, space, cause and effect, etc. S-level also has a name in the Human Alliance, and that is the unsolvable level."

"No solution?" Li Xin frowned slightly. Just from the names, he could tell that those sealed objects were difficult to deal with.

The expressions of other people also changed according to the intelligence officer's description.

The official ignored everyone's changes and continued, "But S-level is not the highest level set by the Human Alliance. There are more terrifying things above. This type of sealed artifact is set to the highest level of encryption. Real information can only be seen by a few people. They have no hierarchy and are not open to the public. Sometimes, even the people who come into contact do not know the information about the items they are really in contact with. Once this type of sealed item gets out of control, it often It will cause large-scale casualties, even cause natural disasters, and cause large-scale memetic contamination. We have reason to suspect that it is the loss of control of such sealed objects that is the culprit that caused the Nephilim Star District to lose contact."

John looked at the crowd and found that they had the same surprised look as him.

An unsolvable S-class containment object is already a big problem.

"If all the contained objects in the Nephilim Sector are out of control, the expeditionary force may not face simple enemies, but must fight against out-of-control contained objects. Some of them may even lead to the destruction of the expeditionary force, so we must Be cautious and careful.”

The official paused for a moment before continuing, "The Expeditionary Force's ship database already contains information on all low-level sealed objects within S-class. Although these objects are very harmful and difficult to destroy, as long as you master the appropriate methods, they can be destroyed." It can be safely contained. Once you encounter a contained object that cannot be divided into levels, remember to treat it with caution, do not act rashly, and contact the expeditionary force headquarters as soon as possible. For safety reasons, information about the highest-level sealed objects will also be sent to everyone present. Commander. Remember not to spread this information. Some sealed objects can use people's memories and imagination to cause harm."

Following the official's words, the data packet was quickly sent to everyone's database.

Geralt glanced at what had been sent to the personal database.

"The association's seal is called the Crimson King."

Five thousand words, and strive for another five thousand at night.

If you collect enough , you can correct any typos.
