When the green-skinned forces in the Ferron system were basically crushed, the Imperial Navy and the Astra Militarum took the lead in withdrawing from the war zone.
The navy was severely damaged in the continuous battles. Many warships were in urgent need of repairs, and a large amount of supplies and personnel needed to be replenished. Only one patrol fleet was left in the system and it quickly left the sector.
The Astra Militarum only left a few regiments in the system, and then set off to places where they were needed more.
As the initiator of the campaign, the Ascetic Chapter, after relieving the great trouble in the Fulen System, will also set off to the edge of the Storm Star Territory to deal with the increasingly serious problem of gene stealers - this task the Ascetic Chapter intends to complete alone
.
On the other hand, the greenskins on the main planet of Fulun were not completely wiped out, and there were still some strongholds that were still resisting. However, the greenskins who lost their top command quickly fell into internal fighting and had no time to organize a powerful counterattack.
The Weeper Chapter will finally eliminate this problem. They will temporarily stay in the Ferron System and use the temporary space orbital station of Gages as a base. On the one hand, they will continue to suppress the green skin activities in the system.
To protect the colony ships coming from other galaxies - the Ferron galaxy and some valuable mining planets, the Sector Governor has already made corresponding development plans.
However, at the request of the Magyar Lords, most of the traces of the Weeper's existence were erased, and it was announced that they had gone on expeditions to other areas - except for a very few people, no one would know that this war group is currently staying in Fu.
In the Lun Galaxy, all activities are secret.
The real mastermind, Soshyan Alexei, the Chapter Master of the Astral Knights Chapter that was the last to leave the galaxy, determined the Chapter's plan for the next thirty years.
Hibernate, accumulate strength, and work hard to collect any information about the planet Ullanor.
Specifically, it is to increase the number of new blood in the battle group as much as possible and restore the size of the battle group to at least one company of troops.
After leading the battle group back to Nessen IV, the first thing Soshyan did was to actively contact Griffin IV near the Forge World in an attempt to repair the Vengeance-class large cruiser they had captured from the Orks.
However, the Mechanicus of Griffin IV did not seem to be too concerned about this project. Instead, they hoped that Soshyan would transfer this warship to them, which may contain some ancient relic technology.
The price is a squad of Indomitable Terminator armor, or a certain number of armored vehicles, such as Leman Russ tanks, or some variants of Chimera, and flying vehicles such as Storm Raven gunships, or a large number of them.
individual weapons and equipment.
It has to be said that the people of the Mechanicus are very down-to-earth in doing business, and the prices they charge are not low.
But Soshyan only wants to make the battle group's fleet stronger. They are currently very few in number. Even if they have the combat equipment, there will not be enough manpower to use it for a while. As for the equipment used by the auxiliary army, there is not much equipment.
value.
So the plan to repair the battleship can only be put on hold, waiting for an opportunity, or looking for a new forge world - there are several forge worlds in the Storm Star Territory, but they are all relatively far away.
As for the Spark, according to Loken, based on the current level of technology and industrial power, it will take at least three to five years for her to regain the combat capabilities of her heyday.
It is equivalent to saying that the Astral Knights Chapter will no longer be able to conduct any expedition activities or battles for a long time, and can only stay on the temporary home planet - unless they want to drive a frigate to fight.
At this point, Soshyan could only suppress his inner urgency and slow down his pace.
The battle group thus entered a long period of calm. The soldiers were separated from the fierce battles and trained, studied, and polished their combat skills every day to fully prepare for the next battle.
As for Soshyan himself, in addition to participating in daily training, what he does most is to inspect the transformation of new recruits.
The operation has now entered the fourth stage, and only 35 recruits have survived.
The situation is not optimistic.
But besides encouraging and appeasing the pharmacist as much as possible, he had no better way.
Because that's the way it is.
In addition, in his spare time, he would occasionally ask Brother Seid about some old events and problems of the Legion during the Great Crusade, especially about the original body and the aliens he traded with, as well as the way they used to fight.
Soshiyang understood this not only out of curiosity, he was also a little confused as to what allowed the original body to touch the Emperor's taboos at all costs. If it was just the webway, then Soshiyang felt that such a drastic method was not necessary.
.
There must be other reasons inside.
But whenever he talked about this, Said would choose to avoid it and just told him that he would understand everything after finding the flagship.
"Welcome back, sir."
Before walking through the corridor to reach his private room, Soshyan had to pass through his private armed room, where his servants were already waiting.
"Thank you."
Soshyan sincerely thanked his servant. After the day's training, his body was eager to relax.
After he stood in front of the weapon, before he could say anything, the servant came up.
The three men took off the Holy Flame Sword from his waist and placed it on the weapon rack.
The other two people removed the bolter from the left thigh and placed it on the weapon rack as well.
Then, Soshyan walked to the armor rack and touched its touch screen.
In an instant, the red light above the glass door turned green, and the sound generated by the equalization of air pressure turned on.
The candlelight swayed due to this brief and sudden airflow, and the armor platform stretched out with a burst of mechanical sound.
It stopped, opened its fixed claws, and Soshyan turned around and retreated inside.
Then, the round-headed claws grabbed his backpack.
Then he raised his arms, and the other fixed claws grabbed his elbows.
The support frame was lifted up to support his forearm, and the fixed frame grabbed the back of his shin guard.
He turned off the last bit of data flow on the visor, and then turned off the engine that powered the armor.
The armor suddenly lost power and pressed heavily on his shoulders, retracting the data interface connecting his nerves to the armor.
The servants stepped forward, and they pushed the metal cart forward. On the cart were many tools for dismantling the armor.
While chanting the armor removal prayer, they began to dismantle Soshyan's armor.
Soshyan also closed his eyes and quietly recited the armor-removing prayer together with his attendants.
"The battle is over, but the war never ends."
They chanted:
"Rest belongs to warriors, repair belongs to ordnance, and praise the machine soul that protects us."
The helmet is the first part to be removed.
Among all the equipment, this one is the heaviest, although it is not the one with the greatest mass.
As the helmet was removed from Soshyan's head, he breathed in the air mixed with incense and holy oil in the monastery, which made his lungs relax.
The air-tight part of the neck is the second to be removed.
The part peeled off his slimy skin, releasing the moist air between the gaps in the armor.
The strenuous training gave him a smell of sweat, and Soshiyang couldn't help but frown.
The body odor produced by angels is not much better than that of ordinary people, and there are many pungent chemical compounds in it - these are by-products of his strengthened body, which flow out of the body with sweat.
