Warhammer III

The combined fleet's operational meeting lasted for three hours. All parties participating in the meeting had a heated discussion on whether to conduct a landing operation as soon as possible, but there is no result yet.

Most of the participants, including Lord Admiral Wollaston, believed that the Red Pirates' fleet should be repulsed first, and then a landing operation could be carried out. The number of the Red Pirates' fleet was unknown. If the space naval battle failed, the ground forces would be isolated and helpless.

Inquisitor Dolores and Warrick of the Space Wolves believe that the original plan must be carried out. Only by destroying Prospero will the sector be peaceful, and new reinforcements are already on the way. If they are timid, they may miss the opportunity.

"Your Majesty the God-Emperor, I suggest landing for battle as soon as possible. The psychic prophecy tells me that Magnus, the traitorous Primarch of the Thousand Sons, will perform a Chaos Ritual to create more psykers. This ritual may be related to a psychic device. "

As Tai Yue spoke, he motioned to Della, who escorted someone over. He stepped forward and pulled off the prisoner's mask, and explained to everyone attending the meeting:

"This heretic is called Harrison. He was originally the planetary governor of the hive world Octavia II. Because of his cruel and efficient suppression of the surge of psykers, his name still appears in the official records of the empire."

"But Harrison eventually betrayed the Empire. He used the STC template as a bargaining chip to have the Forge Director of the Styx, Lomfield, produce a psychic device for Chaos. The device was called the Circle of Sorcery, and was a Psychic equipment that introduces subspace energy and enhances subspace variation.”

"Where is the STC template for the Circle of Witchcraft now?"

Ignati, the great sage of the Mechanicus, was more concerned about the STC template mentioned by Taiyue at this moment, and his mechanical voice trembled slightly.

"This is not the point. Teacher Taiyue, please continue talking!"

Dolores frowned, interrupting Ignati's irrelevant question.

"The Styx Forge Forge World was later destroyed by the Eldar. Maybe those aliens also discovered something, or this was Harrison's trick to get rid of the Forge World. I checked the production records of the Forge World. The last time the Ring of Witchcraft was The production batch was 16. Although we destroyed the last psychic device produced in the hive world, the destination of the 15 devices produced previously is unknown. "

Tai Yue paused and continued:

"Those psychic devices may be on the planet below, and they may be related to the prophesied witchcraft rituals!"

Taiyue's intelligence made everyone aware of the danger. Because the Styx sector is close to the Great Rift, the number of psykers has increased sharply. If there are still unknown witchcraft rituals, it will be more difficult for the entire sector to purify psykers and chaos pollution.

"We need to confirm this information with the heretics. Who knows whether the information you mentioned is exaggerated or untrue!"

Ignati continued that he had his own purpose in participating in the Wizard Star operation.

Tai Yue hesitated for a moment, but finally unlocked the seal in Harrison's mouth.

Harrison looked at Tai Yue viciously and suddenly laughed evilly:

"I don't know about witchcraft rituals or anything like that, but the person in front of me does know the information about the Almighty Book!"

Harrison's answer caught Taiyue off guard. Della read the memory of the casting director and indeed mentioned the information about the Almighty Book.

The intelligence about the ultimate existence that summarized all STC templates in the Mechanicum legend made Ignati tremble all over, but he did not say anything, but fell into deep thought, and others began to whisper.

"Your Majesty the God Emperor, I agree to start the landing operation in one day!"

Just when the topic of the combat meeting was about to lead to the Book of Almighty, Inquisitor Dolores immediately pulled it back. Under her coordination, the meeting finally reached two combat plans.

The first is a landing operation. The goal is to destroy the planetary defense system on Prospero. It takes place one day later and involves many troops, including Space Marines, Astra Militarum, Inquisition troops and Mechanicum troops.

Space Marine:

The Iron Wolf Company of the Space Wolves, commander Wolf Lord Warrick;

Dark Angels 4th Company, Commander Captain Corathil;

The Third Brotherhood of Gray Knights, Commander Grand Master Voldus.

Tribunal:

There are 10 companies of stormtroopers, and Inquisitor Dolores is responsible for their deployment.

Astra Militarum:

Wastatt Guards, 31 heavy infantry regiment, legion commander Marcus;

Tekkan Iron Fist, 42 Armored Regiment, Legion Commander Gallagher.

The Astra Militarum legion stationed in the Styx Sector was annihilated due to an attack in the early stages of the Chaos Invasion. The two supporting legions were both from the Obscurus Star Region. The Ministry of Military Affairs had set up a staff department as a general staff during the transportation of the two legions. The command and staff members include the two corps commanders and political commissar Halifax.

Mechanicum:

The Krochus Titan Legion and the Cruchus Skitarii Legion in Reza's Forge World are under the command of Ignati, the Archsage of the Mechanicus.

The second is a space naval battle. The goal is to resist the attack of the Red Pirate Fleet. If the mission cannot be completed, the combined fleet needs to hold on until the arrival of the second batch of supporting troops.

The fleets participating in the battle were mainly the remaining fleets from the first space naval battle, including:

The Gray Knights Chapter's battleship "Soul Redeemer" and 3 strike cruisers;

The strike cruiser "Forged Sword" of the 4th Company of the Dark Angels Chapter and the strike cruiser "Iron Torrent" of the Space Wolves Chapter;

An Inquisition Star Fortress;

2 battleships, 3 cruiser squadrons, and 4 escort squadrons of the Imperial Navy's Styx Fleet;

The Adeptus Mechanicus in Ryza's forge world has 1 Mechanic Ark, 2 cruisers and 4 frigates.

The overall command of the fleet was handed over to Lord Admiral Wollaston and Captain Stern of the Third Brotherhood of the Grey Knights.

After the meeting, Taiyue and Della came to a warehouse on the Uruk.

There were more than a thousand Skitarii from the Forge World inside. Their direct leader, the Mechanical Sage Grantham, had died in the mutant energy generated by the Ring of Witchcraft.

Della now took over this force. Her servo head ‘Grantham’ issued combat orders to these Skitarii. They will act together with the Ninth Brotherhood.
