Hearing Bahram talk about the rebel army, Jacob was stunned for a moment, then lowered his voice and asked:
"What a rebel legion...it can't be the Sons of Horus..."
"It's the Thousand Sons. Zhao Akada used to be the equipment supply world for the Thousand Sons Legion. He had deep connections with the Legion and also deployed part of the funeral corps in the Thousand Sons' former home planet. Later, the Great Rebellion broke out and the Empire
Send a legion to suppress it. It is said to be the Space Wolves? I haven't read much of this history. It should be the Space Wolves. The primarch Leman Russ led the troops to exterminate the Thousand Sons, and in the process the legion station was killed.
On the side of the Thousand Sons to resist the empire, although Zhao Akada did not side with the rebels, the stain was still left... By the way, the chapter leader also said that the bereavement corps performed very well in that battle.
, defeated the Death Skull Legion, one of the top tier of the Adeptus Mechanicus at the time, and it was precisely because of this incident that Mars erased most of the records about the mourning legion, and these were Zhao Akada’s own records.”
Jacob's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Huh? Deathskulls, wait! Aren't they traitors? Why... No, let me think about it. The Thousand Sons were traitors at that time. The Funeral Corps helped the Thousand Sons, and Deathskulls helped the Space Wolves, but Deathskulls were also traitors...
.Why does it sound so strange? And why should Mars cover up for the traitor?"
"Ha, of course I don't know the so-called self-esteem. The most powerful legion of Mars was defeated by a small legion in a remote place. Even if the most powerful legion rebelled, Mars is not willing to admit this shame, because it represents the Titan of Mars.
The technology is not as good as the backcountry in their eyes."
"I thought those reformers didn't have any emotions like honor and disgrace."
"Be careful what you say. If the mechanical priests hear you, you may be blacklisted in the Forge World... Anyway, although it has not been liquidated, Zhao Akada still hid the remaining Titan Legion. If it weren't for the war group
They would never show it to save face, but it is not entirely due to the chapter leader. The Archdiocese is very close to the Forge World. If it falls, the Tyranids may attack the Forge World mainland next.
The sages still know the truth behind the death of lips and teeth. Even if they don't know, the chapter leader will explain the pros and cons to them clearly. It is better to contribute now than to contribute in one's own territory."
"I see...how many Titans did Zhao Akada send this time?"
"There seem to be 16 units, two detachments. One detachment of the mourning corps contains 2 Warlords and 6 Marauders. They support here and will soon be transferred to support other areas."
Just as Bahram was talking, the Titan detachment had already ceased fire and changed direction, moving with heavy steps towards another battlefield that needed their support. This is the main purpose of the mourning corps in this battle, as mobile support.
Power, although the divine machines seem to be very cumbersome when walking, they are actually very fast due to their size, and there is no need to worry about the ambush of small Tyranid creatures during the journey, unless they are insect saints or fierce women.
Level things appear, otherwise no Tyranid creatures can threaten them, so they also shoulder the task of protecting the smooth traffic on the roads between various strongholds.
"Huh? Wait, I just found out..."
Jacob picked up the telescope and took a look, and then asked doubtfully:
"Isn't there a war dog titan? Why are they all predators and war generals? This composition...isn't normal? Is there no faction or..."
"Ah, I have had this problem too. The chapter leader's explanation is that because the mourning corps spends most of its time in the security zone around the forge world and rarely participates in expeditions, since the main battlefields are places that have been guarded for many years,
The crew's familiarity with the terrain made deployment of Scout Titans unnecessary, so building War Dogs was seen as a waste of precious resources, and the Legion had very few War Dogs."
"I see... But looking at how flexible they are and how precise their attacks are, I think Zhao Akada's technology in making Titans should be very powerful. He should build more big ones, like Warmaster level, Emperor level, etc.
How awesome is that."
"Who doesn't understand the truth? Why don't you give me resources?"
Bahram rolled his eyes, then turned around and picked up his helmet.
"It seems someone has been killed on the knight's side. I want to take a look. You keep an eye on this place and report the situation immediately."
"yes!"
However, just as Bahram walked down the stairs, a harsh roar suddenly came from the sky. He then lay down on the rotating metal handrail, turned his head and looked up, only to see a huge wreckage falling, with a heavy
Chitinous carapace and long tentacles, but these are burning.
"Is the fleet coming to support again?"
But soon, a second and a third one appeared.
Bahram felt something was wrong. Although the fleet would come to support regularly, it was rarely this efficient...
It wasn't until the wreckage of a huge hive mothership slowly fell that he became convinced that something was going on in space.
"What happened?"
"This is the Abyss class... It is indeed a battleship made of gold, worthy of its cost."
On the wide bridge of the Abyss-class battleship Randall, Talos smacked his tongue while staring at the "halved" hive mothership being slowly dragged to the ground by the gravity of the planet. Kassati was also beside him,
There was also an expression of surprise on his face, and around the Abyss, many ships of the Human Empire gathered like small creatures clinging to a big fish, firing fiercely at the Tyranid creatures in all directions.
Not long ago, when this ship suddenly arrived near the Westeros galaxy under the escort of the Hearthborn battleship, all the captains of the empire were shocked. None of them recognized this type of ship.
The system was unable to identify the ship type information, and some people even thought it was an Eldar or other ship of the opposite sex.
Of course, this does not include several chapter leaders of the Tribulation Alliance, because Soshyan has already passed the Qi in advance and informed everyone that the Astral Knights have such a ship - a ship acquired from the Hearthborn.
That's right, Soshyan's external caliber was bought from Lu Yi. As for how Lu Yi got it, he didn't know.
Anyway, there is no rule in the empire that says you cannot buy short-manned ships. After all, the Imperial Merchant Fleet itself occasionally buys short-manned transport ships, and the rogue traders also buy second-hand short-manned products every day to go to various worlds in the empire, including Terra.
At most, his behavior may be questioned, but Soshyan doesn't care so much about gossip now, there is enough anyway.
Luko then communicated with fleet commander Malakin, briefly informing him that he was ordered to drive the newly completed Randall to assist in the battle. With such an invincible ship, Malakin immediately felt confident.
A counterattack was immediately organized.
The effect of the Abyss class has lived up to expectations. In fact, many people are curious about the power of this giant ship.
When the black light cannon on the ship's spine directly killed a hive mothership with a single volley, the channel was full of exclamations and praises, and even Malakin was shocked.
Talos ran directly from the Unbound Soul to the Abyss, and Cassati also came with him, visiting the bridge of the completed ship with great interest, although they had already seen it once.
