After Seth found Soshyan, he immediately complained about Bahram's command during this period. The Flesh Tearer believed that it was understandable to take away useful materials on the ground. After all, food, ammunition, and even livestock were all taken away.
It is useful, but what is the use of refugees suspected of rebellion? What is the value of preserving an excessive population?
Seth spoke very straightforwardly. He believed that the Space Marine was not a nanny or a slave caretaker, but a killer and an executioner.
Soshyan just told the other party that this matter would be carried out by Bahram and that he would not intervene in the process. As for whether there is any value to too many refugees...
He mentioned something very vaguely.
More than once, the Astral Knights, the White Templars, and the Mantis Warriors have all said that in the areas where the Flesh Tearers are responsible for defense, there are always some bad rumors, and pale and bloodless corpses are torn apart.
The fragmented remains, and the huge monster muttering in the dark alley.
There are even reports that on more than one occasion hundreds of young men and women were escorted onto mysterious red transport planes, never to return.
Soshyan did not directly accuse Seth, but just said one sentence——
"Even herdsmen in the primitive world know that they have to maintain the size of their herds so that they can always have meat to eat."
In the end, Bahram's actions allowed an additional six million people who were destined to be destroyed to survive. Although this was still a small number, and Bahram even felt guilty about it for many years afterwards, it made Soshyan see it.
There is a side of this Tenth Company Commander that is less likely to be noticed.
During the entire evacuation process, Bahram not only visited the front lines to inspect the defense situation, but also kept running between various defense zones and battle groups. Even Seth, who was somewhat dissatisfied, admitted that Bahram had a sparkling quality.
and perseverance of willpower.
Even though many company commanders and chapter commanders have a lot of doubts and dissatisfaction with him as a new recruit company commander, Bahram, who has always been humble and gentle in Soshiyan's memory, is uncharacteristically strong and determined, and he really convinced most of them.
People cooperate with him.
Moreover, Bahram's gradually mature organizational skills also left a deep impression on Soshyan. Perhaps the biggest gain for the Legion from this Tyrannic War was him.
But that doesn't mean he has to change Bahram's position.
During the period of rapid expansion of the legion, the recruit company has an unusual status. Although it may be slightly lower in the company hierarchy, as time goes by and more and more recruits go to other companies, the influence of the tenth company commander
There will be an unprecedented improvement.
After the evacuation, Westeros III also ushered in its final destruction. The atmospheric incineration torpedo ignited the surface of the planet, and everything was wiped out in the flames.
The Hive Mind, which had lost so much biomass, was particularly angry. A large number of biological ships came towards the Imperial fleet that was leaving the planet's gravity well, as if they wanted to swallow the tens of billions of creatures in the huge transport fleet.
"The shield in area A2 is weakened, and the output power is 21%!"
In the bridge of the Randall, Soshyan sat on the command throne, watching the magnificent naval battle scene unfold in front of him. Furnace's unique panoramic projection observation equipment can make people feel like they are standing on the outer shell of the battleship.
Amidst a burst of sirens, bone-like biological torpedoes like molluscs bombarded the spacecraft. It disintegrated when it hit the void shield. The erupted fragments were like meteors. If they hit the hull, they would tear open large holes.
.
But the Randall not only had a void shield, but also a Hearthborn shield generator. The powerful energy shield disintegrated the remaining fragments.
At a more distant location, the huge Tyranid hive ship tilted at a strange angle and seemed to be drifting. A large number of biological torpedoes and other flying creatures fell off from the wide mouth of the biological battleship like a suction cup.
The heavily armored Tyranids continued to emit clouds of flickering biological plasma.
"Follow the mark and use all black light cannons to attack that abominable thing!"
Following Soshyan's instructions, the Randall's spine main turret locked onto the target, and then the black flash hit the hive ship.
In a burst of disintegration visible to the naked eye, the shell of the hive ship cracked, and fragments as big as a mountain flew out from the annihilated flesh. Its soft internal organs burst as the body decompressed, and several kilometers of internal organs spilled out.
It went into space, and was then grabbed by the gravitational field of the planet Westeros III, which had turned orange, and dived towards the surface of the planet, its broken shell emitting a red blazing light.
"How is the situation with the transport fleet?"
"Report to Chapter Commander! The transport fleet has arrived at the edge of the galaxy!"
"Well, order the Second Squadron to maneuver to the right."
"yes!"
Soon, the fleet at the rear began to turn at a large angle, like a sickle sweeping through the void. They used fierce cannons on the sides to attack the Tyranids coming from the void, beating them to pieces.
, to avoid direct impact on the transport fleet.
At the same time, the fleet on the left also began to turn, taking over the position of the rear fleet and attacking the incoming Tyranids.
This roller-type retreat mode can minimize the possibility of Tyranids entering the formation and causing chaos. After all, the transport ship has almost no defensive weapons. Any gang-hopping spores entering any ship will be a disaster.
A disaster.
Of course, this strategy also requires the cooperation of the Eldar, who have already cleared the retreat direction of the Imperial fleet in advance and used high-speed ships to contain the Tyranid biological ships trying to outflank them.
Although the two sides have not had any "substantive contact" in principle, they have an amazing tacit understanding.
After several days of walking and running, the Imperial fleet finally broke away from the area covered by the Tyranid Hive Mind and immediately jumped into the subspace. The Eldar fleet also quickly left this place of right and wrong, only to
The Great Devourers are left to continue to eat the scraps and continue their conquest and destruction...
It is difficult for Soshiyang himself to judge this battle as a failure or a victory. They still failed to defend the key star system. So far, one-third of the archdiocese has been lost, and the remaining two-thirds are also in danger, but at least they destroyed the order.
The worrying Tyranid structure, although it is hard to say whether the Tyranids will be rebuilt in the future, but since the Necrons have attacked, there should not be any future troubles - Soshiyan has an intuition that the Necrons should be
It's for Talon.
As for how to carry out the next defense, Soshyan had no idea for a while and could only watch the movements of the Tyranid Hive Fleet.
During the return trip, Soshyan had a secret meeting with representatives of Zhao Akada. The meeting place was chosen to be in a conference room on the Abyss-class battleship Randall, and the matters discussed
There is only one thing - the banshee who lost control and went berserk during the actual combat test.
