Not long after Soshyan returned to Nessen IV on the brand new Eternal Loyalty, he suddenly heard that a merchant ship was coming from Armageddon and brought bad news.
A year ago, Yarrick led the expeditionary force to the Crucifixion to intercept the green-skinned Bonecrushers. At first, they fought consecutively, but they lost in the final decisive battle, and the entire expeditionary force was almost wiped out!
The life and death of political commissar Yarek, the top commander of the expeditionary force, is even more unclear.
When he first heard the news, Soshyan was shocked. He never expected that things would develop like this.
Afterwards, he checked in many ways and was finally convinced that the news was true.
Yarrick really defeated the Crucifixion!
The loss in that battle was not only his personal loss, but also nearly 700,000 elite troops, countless artillery vehicles, and hundreds of super-heavy armors.
To be honest, even if Yarrick or Terra would not let him have an easy time.
But Soshiyang had a vague feeling that this political commissar would not die so easily, and the emperor must have other plans for him.
However, the Calvary Star is at the edge of the Sun Star Field, very far away from Nessen 4. Even if Soshiyang sends people there now, I am afraid it is too late. Moreover, the greenskins have just won a big victory and are in great momentum. Even Terra High Leader The masters have no good way to deal with the Bonebreakers at the moment, so sending only one or two companies of the Astral Knights may not be enough.
In the end, he could only sit back and watch the subsequent development of the situation, but he still had to send people to Terra to inquire about the news, and if necessary, he had to contact the Imperial Fists to see if he could save Yarrick's life.
Just to inquire about the information, a mortal servant would be enough, so Soshyan left this matter to Ustad.
Next, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to the reorganization of the Astral Knights.
In this reorganization, the main focus is on new recruits.
During Soshiyan's long-term leadership, he discovered that the original Holy Code organization, which allowed recruits to serve as scouts, actually had certain limitations.
Reconnaissance is the most important preparation before a battle, and it is even related to the success or failure of the entire campaign. It is obviously not very suitable for a group of recruits to do such an important job. Although it can train the recruits, it brings a lot of trouble to the tactical commander. pressure.
If the reconnaissance is wrong or the enemy ambushes, it will have a huge impact on the entire tactical deployment.
Moreover, after the recruits come out of the 10th Company, in most cases they will enter the tactical company and become a member of the tactical team. At this time, they have to learn the relevant knowledge and skills of frontal combat.
Of course, infiltration operations are indispensable for the Astartes, but judging from the current combat style and equipment level of the Astral Knights, most of the time the Chapter mainly focuses on assault operations and frontal operations, and large-scale infiltration operations are relatively rare. .
Therefore, in order to effectively shorten the service process of recruits and reduce unnecessary waste of time, Soshyan made certain changes to the battle group structure.
The Tenth Company is still a recruit company, but it will no longer be responsible for the main reconnaissance mission. Reconnaissance will become one of many courses.
The recruit company will fight in conjunction with the veteran company in subsequent battles in order to become familiar with frontal combat methods as soon as possible and shorten the training time required to wear power armor - currently there are not many Astral Knights, but there are many power armors.
After so many rounds of combat, Soshyan realized that being elite was right, but in many cases, quantity was really, really important.
There are too many examples of Astartes being overwhelmed by superior numbers of enemies.
More importantly, there has been some news from the Pai Shang planet. Heretic riots have begun to appear on the planet. It is estimated that something big will happen soon.
Expand the army, expand the army, expand the army!
The only thing Soshiyang thinks about now is this. Only when the number of warriors is large enough can he be more certain to win every next battle!
As for who will be assigned the main reconnaissance mission——
Only officers above the company level of the battle group have the right to know about this matter, because it is a company secretly formed by Soshyan and will not appear in the battle group's establishment, which is the so-called eleventh company.
Just when Soshyan returned to Naisen IV, the company was also executing its first operation since its formation——
Standard Terran Calendar, 41
Storm Star Field, Lenscher Galaxy, Ice Point Nine Planet
The opened subspace rift has slowly healed, and a wisp of midnight light floats on the extinguished nozzle, completely not revealing the existence of this slender battleship.
Right in front of this battleship is a world slowly rotating in the void of space.
The gray desert and desolate continent form the main tone of this world. Even an untrained eye can tell with just a glance that this world is dead and desolate, but it also contains another potential, which is not In order to nourish life, but to be able to obtain precious ores through labor.
The only evidence of human existence hangs in orbit: a huge copper-grey platform stretches its docking arm sullenly into the void, and the main body of the space station is inscribed with the word loyalty in gothic font.
The battleship first hovered in the void, like a hungry beast staring directly at its prey, and then it began to slide slowly——
In its blade-shaped body, a destructive force is brewing.
"worn out--"
Jack Ma collapsed on the sofa, taking off his greasy blue work clothes with the ant logo with difficulty, and then he had no other wish but to stop moving - even if he just lay down for a short while, he It really didn't start.
He didn't even bother to kick off his boots.
The sixteen-hour shift was not the most grueling work for him, but it was very close to the concept of "the most grueling".
Leaning on the dirty sofa and tilting his head back, Jack let his lungs drink a mouthful of the stuffy air in the habitation cabin. At the same time, he felt the pain in his ribs caused by taking a deep breath, and then smelled the smell that he should have thrown away a few days ago. food cartons and the ever-present smell of unwashed socks.
This is truly a sweet home.
When he finished sighing, he ran his thumbs through his closed eyes, trying to take away the sting from staring at the clanking conveyor belt all day.
But the pain cannot be eliminated.
Jackma groaned exaggeratedly and turned to pick up the remote control panel scattered on the ground.
After a few clicks, he reconnected the battery pack, prodding the loosened button with his fingertips.
Strangely enough, it only took a few seconds this time.
The screen mounted on the opposite wall immediately flickered to life—sort of.
It shows a jagged distortion, and then a guy dressed like a clown - or so it seems to Jack Ma - appears on a screen filled with snowflakes.
"...The sixteen-hour work system is a blessing given to us by the emperor. If you want to have a bright future, if you don't want to be eliminated, then you must work hard. Labor is freedom. Sweat is glory, laziness is the root of all corruption.”
If this guy was in front of him, Jackma would definitely punch him.
But before he could change the channel, the screen disappeared.
Then he pressed the remote control.
No image, no sound, nothing.
