By the time Soshyan and Talos arrived on the surface, the planet's continents had begun to fall apart.
They were lucky enough to return to Thunder Eagle's landing site before the earth was completely submerged by magma, and left before everything was destroyed.
Only after returning to the Unbound Soul did Soshiyang know what happened. It turned out that after the Necron warships were destroyed one after another, the only two remaining ones left the battlefield and fled into the distance. After the battle, , the Minotaur fleet left quietly, firing several vortex torpedoes towards the planet before leaving.
At that time, Malakin had returned to space. After learning that the other party had launched an extermination order privately, he was so angry that he almost drove the Thunderhawk to chase the other party.
After listening to these, Soshyan suddenly felt like he had narrowly escaped death. If he and Talos had been a little slower, they might have really fallen into it.
Out of fear, Soshyan ordered another vortex torpedo to be fired towards the planet, and the target was the location of the Necromancer Tomb.
He wants to eliminate the roots.
After dealing with the Necron affairs, Soshyan discovered that the Shark Chapter had not yet left. They seemed to be collecting the remains of the Necron warships in orbit.
So Soshiyan formally sent a meeting invitation to the Chapter Master of the Shark Chapter.
But unexpectedly, the other party immediately refused outright.
Soshyan rarely faced such a defeat, so he issued a second one.
But this time the other party simply didn't respond. Instead, they packed up the things on the track and left, just as silently as when they came.
After realizing that not all chapters were so easy to communicate with, Soshyan planned to end this sudden incident completely, so he did not let the fleet return to Nessen IV, but went straight to the forging world of Grea.
Two weeks later, a servitor head, half a Necron corpse, and a data pad were still found on Archbishop Grea's desk.
At the same time, more than four hundred murderous Space Marines came.
Soshyan's request was simple, either Grea would give a reasonable compensation, or they would take Grea's crown as "compensation".
Although Grea is a forge world, its main industrial facilities are not actually on the ground, but in a huge artificial satellite in orbit. This satellite is also called the Crown of Grea.
Moreover, the Crown of Grea is not only the core of the forge world, but also has a network of main forges. It can fly independently. The huge nuclear fusion engine on the satellite can make it escape from the planet's gravity and travel to the nearest Mandeville Point. There it can travel through the warp.
The sages of Grea obviously did not expect Soshyan to be so single. Under the coercion and inducement of the Astartes, and with the leverage in their hands, they finally had to bow their heads.
Since Grea had previously signed an agreement with the Lamenters, and Soshiyan pointed out that the mission was actually a fraud, and that the world of Grea had unilaterally deceived the Lamenters Chapter, Malakin had the authority to propose Compensation ten times the reward!
But the sages of Grea were not at the mercy of others. After about three days of back-and-forth between the two parties, they finally reached an agreement for five times the compensation.
Over the next three years, the Weeper Chapter will receive two hundred new pairs of power armor, already equipped with bolters and attachments, as well as ten sets of Dreadnought Terminators, and two frigates.
Malakin was very satisfied with this, and even with his character, he vaguely felt that this amount of compensation was close to blackmail.
Compensating the Wailers is only part of it. Soshyan's attitude is very clear. This time the Astral Knights are involved, and Grea is involved.
The sages were very stubborn at this time and resolutely refused to give anything to the Astral Knights. Their reason was that the conflict between the Astral Knights and the Minotaur was completely led by Terra, and they had no prior knowledge.
After trying hard and soft methods to no avail, Soshyan still chose not to fall out with Grea. He changed a plan, which was to exchange part of the remains of the Necron with Grea.
The sages of Grea are willing to accept this, especially after they know that the Astral Knights once went deep into the underground, they often try to explore Shiyan and ask him if he has found any "strange things".
Soshyan, of course, denied it.
After a day of negotiation, the two sides decided on the exchange amount. Soshyan handed over ordinary alien debris to Grea, while Grea used his "specialties" to trade with the Astral Knights.
The most important one is the individual weapon called the Revenge Launcher. This individual grenade, combined with the extended-range projectile produced by Grea, can reach twice the range of ordinary grenade launchers, and the warhead can be explosive. It can also use incendiary bombs, chemical bombs, and grenades that can kill light infantry. It is a very excellent deflection weapon.
The others are various vehicles, the most famous of which is the Grea type dagger laser destroyer.
The Gladius-type destroyer is an ancient creation, one of the technological relics that can be traced back to the beginning of the Human Empire. Its heavy tracked armored body is equipped with a powerful self-operating reactor, and it is equipped with a powerful anti-tank. The weapon, and more importantly, is that it is simpler and lighter than the armor of the same era, and often only requires two to three Astartes to operate it.
Therefore, the dagger-type destroyer has also become one of the standard anti-vehicle weapons of the Astartes Legion during the Great Crusade, and has been used on a large scale on various battlefields.
However, after the Great Crusade, the equipment of this model became increasingly scarce, and in the end only the Grea was still in production. The biggest feature of the Grea dagger destroyer was that its weapon was a quadruple laser array, so it was also Called a laser destroyer, its short burst is terrifying enough to destroy most ground armored vehicles.
Another key product of Grea is the independent model Manticore missile launcher. The Grea Manticore missile launcher can be compared with the famous Huangquan No. 8 Manticore. The ordinary Manticore launcher Both are considered Storm Eagle missiles, and these two independent models launch powerful incendiary bombs, but the burning medium is slightly different.
It stands to reason that the Astartes would not use the equipment of the Astra Militarum, but considering the growing auxiliary army, Soshyan still shamelessly ordered a batch of Grea type manticores.
As for other armored vehicles such as Cerberus, he didn't catch a cold very much.
Likewise, this batch of transactions will be completed within three years.
Before leaving, Soshyan also revealed a piece of news to the sages of Grea.
The Astral Knights currently have a batch of very complete STC templates on hand. In the future, the Suffering Alliance will hold several anonymous auctions at the Scar of Victory Fortress. If the sages of Grea are interested, they can participate at that time. He then left three tickets.
This idea came to him recently, because it was too time-consuming and laborious to contact the buyers one by one, and the results of the two transactions did not satisfy Soshyan.
The price could be higher.
As for the reaction of the Mechanicus, I believe that after the news that he defeated the Minotaur war group spread, they should only have cooperation.
For the first auction, Soshyan invited twenty-three forging worlds, including Mars. As for the source of stc, he did not hide it. He clearly informed that it was obtained from the underground ruins of Armageddon. He wanted to come to Mars. It wouldn’t be too strange, after all, they were the ones who moved Ullanor to that place.
As for how Mars will go there to investigate in the future, that is their business.
With many thoughts in mind, Soshyan led the fleet towards Naisen IV, preparing to go back and let the battle group rest and recuperate for a while to cope with the huge challenges that are coming in the future——
