As the first ray of dawn rose, 10 giant metal horns let out a sharp and hoarse roar.
woo woo woo woo--------!
The deafening roar echoes in the mountains. These trumpets are actually huge loudspeakers located on the sturdy towers and high castle walls surrounding the monastery fortress.
After more than ten seconds, the hoarse roar of the horns slowly disappeared, like the dim roar of an ancient behemoth that gradually escaped into mythology, and then the sharp music followed - eight hundred silver trumpets and horns played
Bright triumphal music sounded.
Wearing full ceremonial armor, Soshyan stood on a platform specially built for the review like a carved marble god.
This is the northern part of the monastery fortress. A huge plain stretches from the entrance to the monastery fortress into the distance. The magnificent tower gate is enough to allow a huge machine like the Knight Titan to pass through with its head raised.
In this victory celebration ceremony, Soshyan not only allowed the mortal nobles of the entire planet to participate, but also ordinary people. Thirty-five giant stands were even specially built to accommodate these mortals.
The purpose of Soshyan's doing this is to boost the morale of the planet's residents and give them confidence, letting them know that the Astral Knights will give them real security in the future.
The residents of Naisen No. 4 also responded very enthusiastically. One week before the ceremony, more than two million residents gathered near the venue, and three days before the ceremony, the number exceeded five million, and
People have been joining since then.
All roads leading to the fortress of the Astral Knight Monastery have been blocked by various means of transportation, and the only two rail transportations are almost paralyzed due to long-term overload operation.
In order to prevent huge chaos, the planetary governor sent out guards and personnel to maintain order, and mobilized a large number of transport planes and aircraft to transport the residents blocked halfway. Soshyan even sent some vehicles.
Since such a scene had been expected, Soshyan had already ordered engineers to build a large number of tents and temporary houses near the site, and prepared a large amount of food inside - these things basically came from the Star Castle's food warehouse.
Ration bars in a giant warehouse
There were more than 90 billion tons, and Soshyan even wondered whether Huron was still in the business of reselling grain.
Even with these preparations, Soshyan knew that most people might not be able to see the ceremony directly, so he simply dismantled the three huge imaging devices in the Star Castle.
This advanced imager will not be interfered by light and can see clear images from a long distance. They are now standing on the edge of the venue, providing clear viewing angles for viewers in three directions.
For this grand occasion, a large number of banners of the Astral Knights, as well as the banners of the Ascetics, Lamenters, and Ranger Warriors were spread on both sides of the main axis of the entire venue.
The azurite and marble from the Soames quarry were polished and polished to pave the square with an area of 44 square kilometers. Soshyan overlooked it all from a high position, as well as the avenue that ran through the entire square.
It goes all the way north to the majestic long wall surrounding the main peak of Somus. On top of the magnificent cliff-like wall, the majestic towers and solid halls of Somus Hive soar upward, overlooking everything on the planet's surface.
Behind this majestic scene, the distant peaks of Somes pierce the sky. In this month, they are usually blue, but at this moment, the bright sunshine has painted them into a pale gold.
To the east of the fortress is a military barracks area that has begun to be rebuilt, as well as a large anti-aircraft missile array that is being planned to be built. There is also an industrial and residential area extending westward along the canyon. In the distance is a beautiful countryside that houses many retired auxiliary troops.
Some people even call the areas around the Astral Knights Monastery the New City of Soames.
Most Astartes lived solitary lives, but Soshyan did not see it that way.
On the west side of the fortress, a river flows slowly, shining like smoked glass in the daylight, winding between the pyramid-like Mechanicum fortress and the dizzying chimneys and factory buildings.
This area actually existed before the Astral Knights settled down. It was originally just a huge garbage dump. It took Loken and others more than ten years to basically reach this scale - although currently that area can only produce some bullets.
and consumables, but given time, it will definitely be able to
Do more.
The airspace had been cleared. Soshyan could smell the strong scent of holy oil.
The time is coming soon.
The blast of horns shook everyone around, but he knew that the roar of the deceleration engines and landing thrusters would soon completely drown it out.
Soshyan stood on the platform, flanked by the three chapter masters Malakin, Magyar, and Titus. Behind him were Armin and his honor guard, as well as Ustad and other senior officers. In principle, here
That’s all the power of the Astral Knights. For some special reasons, most of them
The Knights of the Astral Realm have no way to participate in the ceremony on the ground.
In addition to the Astartes, there are Sister Velez, officers and battleship commanders of the Mortal Auxiliary Army, the planetary governor of Nessen IV and his family, several top-level nobles of the hive and senior priests of the State Church, and there is also Ness.
Representatives of other planets in the Mori galaxy.
The first burst of trumpets had just ended, and as the second burst of sonorous music played, clear tunes like shining eagles were sent into the summer sky, and the whistles of the steel behemoths also resonated.
Forty armored vehicles of various types stand around the square or stand on both sides of the colonnaded avenue. They represent the steel power of the Astral Knights.
The surrounding air was not only shaking, it was almost bursting.
Soshyan smiled, glanced to his side, and saw the Planet Governor frowning and covering his ears.
Below, the smooth marble slabs covering the square gleamed, reflecting the brilliance of the sun, and a team of twenty thousand people gathered here.
They are the mortal auxiliary troops of the Astral Knights. All of them stand behind their respective company flags, forming a perfect formation. Their polished armor shines in the sunlight.
The soldiers held their heads high and the flag bearers held high the flying military flag.
The trumpet blared loudly, and a servant came to Soshyan and presented him with a data pad with genetic identification.
"The airspace awaits your opening, sir."
The attendant bowed and said.
"permit."
Soshyan took the data pad and clicked on the screen.
The air defense system of the monastery fortress received and interpreted his order, and the airspace above everyone's heads was immediately released, followed by many aircraft appearing from the shadows outside the dark atmosphere.
A group of fighter jets painted in bright yellow bore the brunt of the attack, and their fuselages were all engraved with the black Skyhawk logo - which represented the number of enemies each fighter plane had wiped out. The sword-tail interceptor flying at the front,
Twelve eagle emblems are engraved on the body!
After the fighter jets formed, the Thunderhawk formation appeared immediately. The first batch of Thunderhawks were dark green, with a line of black dotting the edges of the wings, like obsidian.
Behind them are landing ships lined up.
Not only did they form an array, they also maintained perfect, perfect aerial synchronization as they descended.
Those spaceships were like a group of ballet dancers, landing in precisely rehearsed steps.
Soon, the flying vehicles began to land in batches of four, and parked next to the avenue in perfect sequence, next to the square.
The roar of the air flow they stirred up completely drowned out the shriek of the trumpets, and even drowned out the roars of the people.
