After the handshake was over, Soshyan introduced the White Temple and the new chapter leader Arash to everyone in the Tianshi Chapter. Since both parties met for the first time, Raif seemed very excited and held Arash's hand.
Hands kept talking, and Arash was also very curious about these "cousins" and chatted with them for a long time.
After learning that the former Chapter Master of the White Templars had been assassinated by Huron, Raif angrily said to Soshyan:
"Commander Soshiyang, the 763 warriors of the Tianshi Chapter, including myself, will obey your command and dispatch. I hope you can lead us to teach those damn pirate heretics a harsh lesson! They must be punished with blood.
Pay!"
Raif's words moved Soshyan very much. Even if it is a full battle group, including the new recruits, there are only a thousand people at most. If more than 700 people are sent out at one time, it can be regarded as an overwhelming force, which is equivalent to destroying the entire battle group.
Destiny is placed in his hands.
And what they want is just honor and brotherhood. Compared with others who join the war group, it is extremely pure.
"I will, Brother Raif, I promise!"
At this time Raif held Soshyan's arm, then turned around and looked at all the Tianshi warriors, and said with a smile:
"Let Commander Soshyan tell the story of his first victory over the Hurons, okay?"
"good!"
The Tianshi warriors suddenly let out a thunderous cry, but Soshiyang was a little stunned.
what's going on?
It turns out that the Tianshi war group has also been influenced by the "storyteller" culture of the home planet. Before each battle, they have to gather together for a storytelling session, and everyone who comes to visit the war group also needs to "pay" for the Tianshi war group.
But what they have to pay for is their own experiences and the legends they have heard.
It is also for this reason that the Celestial Lions are very happy to fight side by side with the Astra Militarum. Their purpose is very simple - to trick the opponent into telling a wonderful story.
But Soshyan didn't know. Lysander didn't say it clearly just now. He didn't react at once and said smoothly:
"All right......"
Looking at the cheering Celestial Lion warriors, Soshyan finally echoed Lysander's previous words, but it was too late.
And the culture of Tianshi is not annoying.
Then he began to describe the first surprise attack on Badab to the Tianshi warriors, and expressed it in a more dramatic way. For example, Talos's vision turned into a tense pre-battle probability analysis, and he also compared himself with
Huron's time race was reduced to hours, making the whole story full of tension. The occasional encounter with the Ranger Warriors and the Sisters of Salvation were inserted in the middle, which made the Celestial Lions fascinated.
When they heard the end, when Soshyan almost killed Huron with his sword, but finally allowed him to escape, many Tianshi warriors beat their chests and sighed, obviously they were really immersed in listening.
"Oh, what a pity, what a pity!"
Raif also shook his head repeatedly with a look of regret, then smiled and said:
"Commander Soshyan will tell us how to beat Abaddon on the Death Star and make him run away, okay?"
"Well--"
"Leif Chapter Commander, Commander-in-Chief Soshyan still has many things to deal with."
Lysander's steady voice sounded, and then he walked to Soshyan and said solemnly:
"There will be plenty of time after the victory of the expedition."
The smile on Raif's face disappeared, and he stretched out his hand to Lysander.
"Captain Lysander, long time no see."
After Lysander shook hands with the other party, he said:
"It has been almost more than a hundred years. It seems that you have really not changed at all. Thank you very much for leading the battle group to support the expedition."
Raif said seriously:
"We are the children of Dorne, and we should support each other."
But suddenly he changed the subject.
"But there is something I have to remind you, Brother Soshyan. During this expedition, you must be careful of the group of lunatics and villains in the Tribunal. Once there is a war, they will definitely gather around like flies smelling carrion, and they will keep coming.
It buzzes in your ears and even does things that disrupt your plans."
It was obvious that Raif had great opinions on the Tribunal, and Soshyan smiled slightly.
"Thank you brother for reminding me, I will not let the Inquisition harass us in our battle."
"That's good."
The arrival of the Tianshi Chapter increased the number of Space Marines in the expeditionary force from 3277 to 4040, which can be said to have greatly enhanced the strength of the expeditionary force.
Soshyan then discussed with Raif how to arrange the battle group. After all, it was still some time before the real battle. Raif said that they could just stay on the battleship. If Soshyan had other arrangements, they would obey.
.
In fact, Soshyan does have other plans. He plans to launch an offensive against the green skin nests entrenched outside the Sagan system in the near future. He will clean the house before going out. On the other hand, this operation is also to highlight the children of Dorn.
The unity will be jointly initiated by the Astral Knights, the Imperial Fists and the Tianshi Chapter, which has certain political significance.
So he planned to first arrange the Tianshi Chapter to Sagan 5, which is closest to the edge of the galaxy.
However, this matter was not rushed. The Tianshi Chapter had come all the way and needed to take a break, and he was also planning to hold an internal meeting at the level of Chapter Leader and Company Commander to talk about some of his current strategic plans.
But plans can never keep up with changes. On the third day after the Tianshi Chapter arrived, another group of guests arrived.
The battle barge King's Virtue led four strike cruisers, including the Obsidian Seat, Thunder, Heretic's Noose, and Thrash, and three frigates, jumping out from the subspace node closest to the planet and heading straight for Sagan Prime. At the same time,
The signal sent by the fleet also arrived at Sagan Prime as soon as possible.
The Black Templar is coming!
And an entire expeditionary force!
As a non-canon regiment, the organizational structure of the Black Templars Chapter is different from that of most war groups. Their basic combat unit is a combat company, but this combat company is not equivalent to the company in the canon. The Black Templars
The campaign units are often expeditionary armies.
But the expeditionary force is not a fixed organization. Some are only composed of dozens of warriors, while others are composed of hundreds of warriors - the reason is obvious. In this chaotic, torn by war, and frequent wars in the galaxy,
, the Black Templar, which aims at expedition, must be flexible enough.
But this also brings about another problem, that is, the actual number of Black Templars fighting in the name of the Emperor is not known to anyone except the Grand Marshal. Therefore, the Inquisition has always had accusations that the Black Templars have seriously exceeded the personnel limit.
However, as the descendants of Dorne, they never pay attention to these noisy mortals, let alone care about them.
"The marshal leading the team this time is Helbrecht. He is also the shining star of the Black Templar in recent years and the youngest marshal."
In the reception hall, listening to Lysander's words, Soshyan nodded slightly. He had already heard the name of this marshal.
This time not only Lysander and Arash were there, but Raif of the Tiens Chapter and his Honor Guard were also there.
