Soshyan recalled the message Yaric sent from Sagan not long ago, which mentioned that the Terran envoy frequently met with Sagan's local nobles and heads of imperial institutions. Although Yaric's tough attitude
, they have not been able to interfere with the military operations of the expeditionary force for the time being, but part of Soshyan's previously formulated strategy has been destroyed.
Especially the lockdown orders against smuggling and black markets.
In addition, the special envoy seemed to have arranged for people to investigate the criminal aristocrats who had been punished by Soshyan before, in the name of checking whether there were "unjust, false and wrongful convictions", but in fact there was a clear tendency to overturn the convictions.
It seems that the press control order issued before was also broken by the special envoy, and the other party kept sending him letters hoping to meet with him in person and convey some "instructions" from the High Lords Council.
But he doesn't come to Angstrom, so that means Soshyan will go back to Sagan.
At this critical moment of the war, Soshiyang would definitely be unable to escape. So besides wanting to cause trouble, he couldn't think of a second reason for the other party's actions.
In addition, the Man-Eating Shark Chapter who came to the Maelstrom without making a sound behaved very strangely. They just stopped in place and did nothing, as if they were waiting for something. This forced Arash to allocate his strength to monitor
them.
Looking at these, Soshiyang suppressed his anger and sneered:
"The high lords seem to think that my fighting skills are not good enough, so why not just replace me with someone else instead of doing these little tricks."
After hearing this, everyone looked at him with different expressions. Lysander, who was more familiar with Terra, sighed softly and comforted:
"After all, you are the first Astartes commander to control such a large force since the Great Rebellion. It is normal for Terra to have some doubts, but don't worry, as long as the Phalanx is still flying in Terra's orbit, they will not
Dare to go too far."
This may not have occurred to Huron in any case.
"If we can capture the Huron Dog Head this time, this expedition will basically be over!"
"Indeed."
After listening to Soshyan's deployment, Lysander nodded.
"Forget it, I made you guys laugh, I couldn't control my emotions for a while, but now the situation can only be solved here before we deal with Sagan."
"Then you have other arrangements."
"The Red Pirates are now gathering heavy troops in Angstrom. Our troops are already struggling just to defend. If they continue to increase their troops, no matter how strong the planetary defense of Angstrom is and how obvious our firepower advantage is, it will not be impossible after all.
The upper limit is that although the Gray Knights are very good at dealing with heretics and demons, their fleet is not strong enough after all, and I am afraid it will be difficult to break through the blockade of the Red Pirates."
After the meeting, Soshyan quickly received news from the Angstrom Astropath Hall. All the astropaths had been hit by a vicious curse. When they woke up, they were informed that the astropath communication had been blocked.
Blocked messages.
Soshyan smiled slightly.
Due to the blockade of the route, Angstrom's senior management showed a certain degree of uneasiness and told Soshyan that if the raw materials were not replenished, according to the current combat intensity, peak productivity could be maintained for at most two weeks, and then the inevitable
decline.
Soshyan sighed softly.
It turns out that as early as half a year ago, Soshyan had discussed with all members of the Suffering Alliance. This expedition was in line with the conditions sworn when the alliance was originally established. Therefore, as the alliance commander, Soshyan had the power to mobilize the Scar of Victory Fortress to the war zone.
.
In other words, the reinforcements this time include not only the Gray Knights and Traces of Victory, but also the exploration fleets from Fenris IV, Zhao-Akadar, and Greia.
Seth even gave a high-five.
Then he shook his head.
"The attack in the fifth and sixth theaters requires the cooperation of the fleet, and the siege of Badab also requires the fleet to perform vigilance missions. A quarter of the expeditionary fleet has already been assembled in Angstrom. If they are mobilized from other places, they will be affected.
Fight."
Soshyan nodded.
When he took off his armor and returned to his office, he saw Velez placing some files on the table, and his other hand was still scratching dots on the data pad, as if he was processing some information.
Then he began to explain his plan to everyone.
Soshyan shook his head.
"Huron will definitely send people to contain Corsaro Khan. That's good. We can also ask Corsaro to contain the Red Pirates' fleet. I plan to transfer the Gray Knights to near Angstrom, and in Huron,
When Lun focuses all his energy here, Endymion's two war zones will launch attacks on the enemy's territory at the same time. Arash's attack direction is the Lamptan system, and Tu'shan's attack direction is the Crow system.
, the second batch of trained recruits will be given priority to these two theaters. Once we occupy these two systems, we will be able to directly threaten Huron's strategic hinterland, which means that the expedition has entered the second stage."
Lysander looked at the strategic diagram drawn by Soshyan, and then pointed at Angstrom.
It was Ulan Huda's fleet that was responsible for escorting the fortress, and it was also because of the secret protection of the Eldar that Soshyan dared to stake all the family assets of the Suffering Alliance.
But Lysander's words didn't make Soshyan's expression any better. He threw the data board directly on the imager, causing the star map to flicker, and then mocked:
"They are waiting for me to make mistakes or fail, so Huron can lose eight out of ten times in this expedition, but I, Soshyan, cannot afford to lose even once."
Then he looked at Magyar and Titus, and they both nodded at the same time. Only then did Soshyan tell the whole story.
"That's no problem."
"Only the Gray Knights?"
Soshiyang, who had known this for a long time, was not surprised. He just ordered that the matter be banned from external reports, and then made some adjustments to the planetary defense. However, the Red Pirates suspended their attack, retreated to the planet they occupied, and blocked the planet.
route, apparently preparing to wait for their reinforcements to arrive.
However, Soshyan knew that there would be no fierce fighting for the time being, so he just comforted him for a while and reassured the Mechanicus to recover the wreckage and damaged ships on the battlefield. If these things could be repaired, they would be repaired. If they could not be repaired, they would be disassembled.
into raw materials and transferred to the production line.
"So do we need to mobilize fleets from other theaters?"
"Indeed there is."
"I'm afraid it won't be that easy. In any case, the more troops we can hold back the Red Pirates in Angstrom, the smoother the attack will be in other areas, and the easier the subsequent battles will be."
In addition, it is not just the Traces of Victory. Although the exploration fleets cast by various Mechanicums that arrived at the Maelstrom with Soshyan originally had their own goals and are currently scattered in various galaxies to carry out their archaeological excavations, Soshyan once worked with them
It was agreed that when necessary, he could ask these fleets to cooperate with him in fighting.
Because she was bent over, even though she was wearing armor, she could still see from behind her graceful waist curve outlined by the power armor and her round and plump hips covered by the white hem around her waist.
Suoshiyang didn't expect that the other party was already here, so he subconsciously stopped.
"Um?"
Hearing the movement at the door, Velez straightened up, turned to look at the door, and saw Soshyan and said immediately:
"Soshiyan, here are the previous battle reports, and some are messages transmitted from various war zones before the star language communication failed."
