At dawn the next day after the Termite Borer announced that the transformation was complete, Soshyan summoned Armageddon's senior commanders to announce his plan
In order to prevent the reluctant allies from causing them as much trouble as possible, he also invited the local Mechanicus bishop and a small group of his attendants to join the meeting. Soshiyang's reputation has been blown these days.
Quite outrageously, the guests were more than happy to gather with the legendary heroes of the new generation of the Empire.
“Thank you everyone for attending the meeting on time.”
With that said, Soshyan activated the holographic platform. This time it was finally the turn of an engine priest to operate it. Although it seemed that it was so boring that it blended in with the device, the servants of Omnissiah did often
In this way, they have a set of mysterious rituals that the world cannot understand, such as meditating on the valve stem bolt or something on their left hand.
In order to allow everyone present to fully understand, Soshyan directly skipped complicated data analysis and directly introduced their next plan.
"We believe that at the current rate, the war on Armageddon will be difficult to end."
"Why?"
Mechanical Bishop interjected.
"Reinforcements are coming soon."
"The greenskins are conducting some kind of experiment or ritual that we don't know about."
Soshyan said carefully.
"Based on the data provided to us by various parties, unusual energy signals have appeared in several places on the planet recently."
Although the real analysis relies on the battle group's own intelligence, it is necessary to let them know the real situation.
"Let's think the greenskins may be carrying out some kind of extermination plan."
"Sounds like we have to be in a hurry."
Kurtz Mannheim, the commander of the Titan Legion, said slowly, took a sip of his tea, and put it aside in a hurry.
"I also think it's unwise to pin our hopes on reinforcements. We can't count on help from things that don't exist yet."
Soshyan did not lie about this. When modifying the termite boring machine, the reconnaissance team did find some unknown energy signals, and they all came from the green skin stronghold.
"If we do not take steps to minimize this possibility, we will fail to live up to the responsibility entrusted to us by the Emperor."
"Maybe so."
The commander of the Iron Corps also chimed in.
"But my lord, you haven't made it clear what the plan is."
"Our plan is to use Armageddon's underground cave network to reach the Hades nest from underground, rescue it from the siege of the green skins, and use it as a stronghold to build a large teleportation array to launch a war on the main continent.
The battle of liberation.”
As he spoke, the image on the video screen blurred for a while, and no one could tell whether it was interference caused by sudden flying snowflakes or static electricity.
The Engine Priest may have known, but he never explained it.
Then, it clearly showed a complex underground cave map, but there were some white spots on it.
"Well, that's roughly the situation. This operation is completely led by the battle group."
"I think it's okay."
The commander of the Titan Legion supported Soshyan as always, and most of the others had no objections, but the Guards General Gerrit Linden had some different opinions.
"Sir, I have a question."
"But it doesn't matter."
"Why Hades?"
The general pointed at the map, and then the servitor on the side handed him an infrared light, allowing him to mark the area he wanted to express with red dots.
"Whether it is in terms of geographical location or importance, Hades is far inferior to the Helrichs Nest. Although I don't want to say this, Hades has been besieged for five months, and it is already in danger.
, but Hercules still has enough troops and a complete military factory, so it will be easier to organize a subsequent counterattack."
In fact, Soshyan had expected that someone would ask this question.
So he turned to the holographic platform and called up a more detailed topographic map. The rows of mountains and nests on the ground were rising and falling like bubble balls in the bathtub. The crisscrossing tunnels underground were equally dazzling. Those tunnels
At least hundreds of kilometers long, like the twisted intestines of the Tyranids.
Soshyan selected the main tunnels for introduction.
"Because not all underground cave passages are walkable. In fact, there are very few main roads. We have not yet found the road directly leading to Haerrichs, and we don't have time to look for it anymore."
"I see."
Gerrit Linden nodded in realization.
"Thank you for your explanation, sir."
"When the operation is launched, Chapter Commander Randall will exercise command authority on my behalf. Everyone needs to assist him in the operation."
Everyone present nodded, and Soshyan turned his perspective back to the underground passages, highlighting some deeper tunnels.
"If the plan goes well, we will arrive at Hades's nest in a week. At that time, our army can launch a large-scale attack on the edge of the jungle to divert the green skin's attention."
"clear."
Soon, the meeting ended, everyone dispersed, and Soshyan was about to lead the team underground.
"It's troublesome to do things with ordinary people. You have to have meetings to do anything."
After everyone left, Talos slowly walked to the refreshment table. He had been struggling to hide his figure before - according to his situation, he wanted to do it without attracting people's attention in the current situation.
Like Ogryn trying to hide at the dance.
Soshiyang smiled and said nothing, and took a sip of the warm and fragrant imported alien tea that could not be named.
"By the way, isn't that Miss Inquisitor who dresses sexy every day here?"
Hearing Talos' words, Soshyan shook his head.
"She doesn't want others to know her existence, including Randall and the others. I guess this is their professional habit."
"Then what are you going to do when you get there?"
Talos' words contained some dangerous hints, and Soshyan certainly heard it.
He calmly put down the cup and chuckled:
"Taros, what do you think the position of an inquisitor trying to explore the supreme power of subspace would be."
"Oh? Do you suspect that she is a heretic?"
"Even if it's not, it's not too different. There are many factions among the inquisitors, and some of them are very radical. Maybe she is the kind of radical inquisitor."
"So what's your plan?"
Glancing at the bottomed teacup, Soshyan shook his head.
"It's just a matter of playing it by ear. If it gets to that point, I'll give you a hint."
"Hey, you are pure, I have done all the dirty work."
"Of course this is the last step. Before that, don't get too close to her. The inquisitor has a very keen sense of smell and may see something."
"I understand~"
At this time, the foundry master of White Temple walked into the conference room and brought a message.
"All machines have been debugged and are ready to go."
