Storm Star Territory, Nessen Galaxy, Nessen 4
Five years later, Soshyan and his astral knights finally returned to their home planet, and news of the Pandora Battle had already spread here. Therefore, the planet's governor led the people to welcome their guardians and The glorious angels have returned.
But before that, Soshyan had arranged for the flagship to be hidden in a galaxy near the Nessen system. But what surprised him was that Queen Elena Alcaraz actually followed him to Nessin IV—— Originally, he thought that the other party could not leave the flagship.
Elena Alcaraz's explanation is that as long as the flagship has sufficient energy, Mu Hu can ensure basic operation by herself, so she does not need to follow her all the time.
During this process, Soshyan also took Veronica to the flagship. For some reason, when she met Elena, the atmosphere was a little subtle——
Soshyan couldn't tell what it felt like, it was just strange. Elena seemed to have known that Veronica was an Eldar for a long time.
Veronica, on the other hand, always intentionally or unintentionally involves Soshiyang in their conversations, and even reveals some things that happened when they got along, leaving Soshiyang confused as to what she wants to express.
It’s just weird anyway.
Because Elena Alcaraz's identity is too special, Soshyan did not make any arrangements for her. Her personal affairs are basically decided by herself, including her residence and entourage - anyway, Soshyan gave the following The order was also very simple and met all her requirements.
Because she chose to live in the monastery fortress, Soshyan arranged for an additional small palace with a garden to be built outside the main monastery.
As for Veronica's residence, based on Rozim's previous suggestion, a house with excellent lighting and views was chosen in an area near Soshyan, and the two rooms were connected by a secret passage - Dieter During the design process, Li An even asked Soshyan seriously if he needed any 'auxiliary entertainment facilities', which made him very embarrassed.
Veronica didn't have any objections to this, because the house was not only very large, but also had a very nice balcony that could overlook the boundless land and mountains across the mountains.
After handling these "personal matters", Soshyan began to formulate a recent recruitment plan.
He plans to recruit 500 candidates on the planet, and recruit another 500 in ten years. After twenty years, the chapter must be filled up.
When the formation of the battle group is full, he will start the first "resource exchange plan" with Randall, that is, transfer a group of White Templar veterans to the Astral Knights, and at the same time transfer a group of Astral Knight recruits Transferred to the White Templars in order to achieve a balance between the old and the new of the two Chapters, and to fully fill the establishment of both Chapters within fifty years.
Afterwards, he also planned to have the White Temple transfer its home star to the Bracato system. The Sanctuary Star would only be used as a recruiting world - after all, it was in the Sun Star Territory and itself was only a relatively backward world.
If Randall is reluctant to leave the people there, he can even quietly colonize it. After all, the environment of that planet is like that, because it is in the solar star field where the Ministry of Interior has the strongest power. Although there is no tithe, there is a very heavy tax. Trade taxes have kept the standard of living on the planet very low.
In Soshiyan's plan, the Soul Drinkers and Crimson Sabers will also be independent in the future, as long as Soshiyan captures those notorious rebels and lets the "new Chapter Master" take their heads After being sent to Terra, the probability of the two battle groups being restored is still very high. By then, he will have the powerful power of four complete battle groups——
Naturally, he can also be more loyal to the empire.
Don't think too much, Soshyan will never be a warlord like Huron. All he has to do is lead his army to Terra, enter the palace, and then...
Just completing their duties.
Although how to make everyone believe that they are going to perform a mission in the broken webway is inherently difficult, after all, the emperor is speechless now, so the most direct way Soshyan can think of is...
Becoming stronger, so powerful that no force could stop him from entering the palace, at which point he believed the Emperor would react in some way.
The idea is roughly like this, and the specific implementation will definitely be modified. After all, he is not Horus, so he can't drive the Avesta to blast open the palace wall.
Perhaps he could accomplish something great enough to enter the palace to meet the Emperor, such as killing Abaddon and throwing his head in front of the high lords.
But it also requires a lot of strength.
In short, it is definitely just for him to expand his military power now - at least the goal is just.
Soshiyang only told Veronica this explanation, but the Eldar laughed so hard that he said Soshiyang "surprisingly has a very innocent and cute side", which made Soshiyang very angry.
After formulating the recruitment plan, Soshyan did not do it himself because he knew that the soldiers, especially the new commanders, should be given more opportunities to exercise, so the specific implementation was jointly handled by several company commanders and chief chaplains.
He still has a lot to do, such as contacting Malakin and telling him about the Ark Mechanicus Blood Red.
As a result, after Soshyan went to the Trace of Victory, he received unexpected news from Lord Magyar.
Malakin is not here, nor in the Chapter.
He went to Baal with a few personal followers.
After careful questioning, Soshyan found out that something big had happened with the Blood Angels, and that the Flesh Tearers had done something outrageous in Arel.
Soshyan has heard about the Flesh Tearers. This is a very ancient sub-group of the Blood Angels. They are famous for their violence and bloodshed. They have bad rumors among friendly forces. Many war groups have They are considered to be on the verge of heresy - their passion for blood and carnage is the beginning of the fall of many Chapters.
Of course, on the other hand, their combat effectiveness is indeed very strong and they have won many tough battles.
But this time it seemed that they really went out of their way and attracted the attention of the Inquisition. Before the Council of the High Lords of Terra could say anything, Dante of the Blood Angels had first killed the Chapter Master of the Flesh Tearers, Gabriel. Seth summoned Baal.
Malakin's statement was "inquiry," but Soshyan and Mazhar knew very well that there was a high probability that this should be a "trial," and Dante seemed to be cleaning up.
It is relatively rare for a parent group to clean up its sub-groups. Soshyan doesn't know how many chapter leaders Dante has summoned this time, but the result of this incident will definitely cause quite a stir among the empire's top brass. ——In a sense, it was a cover for Soshyan, distracting some of the attention that had previously been focused on him.
Although he was a little curious about what the Flesh Tearers had done to cause such a big disturbance, after all, it was a family matter of the Blood Angels, so Soshyan didn't want to ask more, so he left the Trace of Victory and went to Zhao Akada to check out the Abyss-class ship. Battleship construction progress.
The situation is quite satisfactory. The keel has been basically laid. According to this progress, the construction should be completed before 999 - this is already a very fast speed.
Just when Soshiyang returned from Zhao Akada, an unexpected guest arrived——
