Although the Blood Pact is a Chaos mortal force that worships Khorne, it is extremely organized. Unlike other cultist warbands, the Blood Pact's training and organizational structure are similar to those of the Astra Militarum, and they will also use a large number of looted Supported by tanks, armored vehicles, or armored vehicles produced on occupied forge worlds, their training level is roughly equivalent to that of the Imperial Guard's common Astra Militarum infantry regiments, and the Blood Pact has a more stable chain of command, meaning they can easily Accurate deployment to precise targets.
Even a few Blood Pact soldiers have been trained in intelligence and infiltration, and can act independently for the benefit of the Blood Pact when necessary. This is their danger: the Blood Pact is not a mindless Chaos fanatic, but a loyal loyalist to Chaos. Professional soldiers of the gods.
"Huron is indeed not someone to be taken for granted. If you give him some time, he might be able to get his own Astra Militarum... Sure enough, the preparation time cannot be delayed too long. The longer you delay for an operational expert like him, the greater the risk will be. "
"In addition to training mortal troops, Huron also built a large number of fortresses and defense facilities, as well as detection outposts in the areas he controlled."
As he spoke, Occam lightly pressed a certain area on the desktop, and a rotating large whirlpool star map appeared in Soshyan's sight. This star map combined the data Soshyan had previously obtained from Baiscar. Therefore the accuracy is extremely high.
Occam then used his finger to draw a line on the star map and circled several places.
"The first is the route extending from the Crow System to the Magg Star Cluster. Huron deployed an unknown number of outposts along the way, and built several large-scale void shields on the planets 2, 3, 5, and 8. The fortress of the weapon, and the Magg star cluster circle is mainly the Magg galaxy, the Bloody Skeleton galaxy, and the Kara galaxy are all the core areas of Huron. After all, New Badab is a hell that produces nothing but madmen. There are two ocean worlds and one agricultural world in the Ge galaxy, which can be said to be the main granary of the Red Pirates. There are many hives in the Kara galaxy. Although they still belong to the empire in principle, everyone knows that they have been providing soldiers for the Red Pirates. , and what he got was a promise that Huron would not plunder. Although the Bloody Skeleton Galaxy has a small population, it is extremely rich in minerals. Huron has been developing the galaxy over the years, and most of the slaves he plundered have been invested here. According to the information I have gathered, the current annual production of palladium and various rare metals is about 90 billion tons. These minerals..."
As he spoke, Occam pointed to a place. Soshyan looked over and saw a symbol of the Mechanicus.
"Basically all went to the forging world Angstrom."
There are a total of three forge worlds in the Maelstrom area, namely Aristides in the Kirab galaxy of the Endymion star cluster, Pamela in the García galaxy of the Kliman Drift Belt, and Angus, which occupies a separate galaxy. Thom.
The first two forge worlds are relatively small, have limited production capacity, and do not have the protection of the Titan Legion. They only have knight families. Angstrom is the largest forge world in the Maelstrom area. Although it cannot be compared with the first-line forge world, it is also It can produce most heavy weapons, and there is also a medium-sized Titan factory that can produce Titans below the Warlord level on its own, and the planet is stationed with a small Titan army called Death Gaze.
As far as Soshyan knew, Angstrom remained neutral during the Badab War and made a fortune from the war, selling weapons and supplies to both sides of the war at high prices. In the later stages of the war, in order to cut off Huron's source of weapons , the loyalist coalition launched a raid on Angstrom's transport port and destroyed the transport fleet sent by Huron. However, the loyal side was also attacked by the Forge World, and Angstrom drove both parties out of their own system. , and declared that Space Marines would never be allowed to set foot again.
Soshyan thought for a moment, and then said softly:
"Don't they know who they're dealing with?"
Occam grinned.
"Do you think they won't know?"
"If we deliver evidence of Angstrom's dealings with the Red Pirates to Mars, can we force them to discontinue this behavior?"
Occam shook his head.
"I don't have any definite evidence at first. Those guys are very cunning. All transactions are completed through several middlemen. At most, they can only find that Angstrom sold the weapons to smugglers of unknown origin, but It is difficult for Mars to issue a strict judgment on this kind of behavior. Secondly, all the weapons and equipment sold by Angstrom have their serial numbers erased, making it impossible to detect them in the maelstrom of smuggling. Furthermore, Mars may not necessarily be so helpful to you. , especially since you are so close to Reza publicly."
Occam said this, Soshyan found that this black-and-white forging world is really a bit tricky. If they want to block Huron, they must stop this behavior, but they will listen to themselves, the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force. An order?
It's hard to think about it. They didn't care when the Badab War was going on like that.
"Occam...you say."
After thinking for a long time, Soshyan expressed his thoughts very implicitly.
"Can we use force to force them to change?"
Occam smiled knowingly.
"Unless you are sure of taking over the forge world in a short time, Huron will definitely take the opportunity to intervene, and it is very likely that Angstrom will be completely forced to the Huron side. At the same time, you will have to carry an attacker to attack the forge world. Notorious, after all, they are not rebelling. From Mars’ perspective, you are taking the opportunity to cause trouble, and Terra will definitely interfere in this.”
"Well, that's right. It seems that I have to talk to the director of the forging world in person to see if we can solve it in other ways."
Ockham then went on to describe Huron's defenses.
"The Colkeria galaxy is the focus of Huron's defense, because it is the bridgehead connecting the Badab galaxy, but the empire also has a certain force stationed there. Huron now only controls a few small worlds on the edge of the galaxy. I predict that he will soon launch a full-scale war of conquest on the galaxy and completely open the route to Badab."
As he spoke, he pointed his finger towards the Badab sector.
"As Huron's former home base, although it was driven away, thanks to the empire's garbage-like dominance, the Badab sector became a paradise for pirates in just a dozen years after the Badab War. Huron His power has also returned to the Badab galaxy, and he has built several giant ground fortresses. The surrounding Eschuna galaxy, Decabulus galaxy, and Hattusa planet are all within the radiation range of his power. The rule of those worlds Those who have basically become Huron's secret sons. Now the only support point of the empire in the Badab sector is the Archaea Galaxy, because the Starry Sky Phantom Chapter is stationed there, but they can only barely support it, ensuring that Yin Xin The galaxy and Piero Galaxy are still under the control of the Empire. The Empire also has about 2 million Astra Militarum troops stationed in those two systems, but self-protection is still difficult, so you can't hope to mobilize them.
"
Then Occam drew a small circle in the direction of the Yinxin galaxy close to the pale stars.
"In addition, it is worth noting here that several worlds in the range are already overgrown with greenskins. They frequently plunder the surrounding areas. It is already very difficult for the defenders of the Yinxin System and the Piero System to deal with them."
