"Now Soshyan has divided the front line into six war zones, and tens of millions of troops are in front of us. Although the onslaught is not small, it is also a bit too naive."
As soon as Huron finished speaking, Gan Martin of the Blood Snake Demon suddenly spoke:
"King of Black Heart, I am a straight person, so I will say some things directly. The best opportunity was actually a year ago, when the Puppet Emperor's expeditionary force had not yet been assembled. We should have concentrated all our efforts to launch a surprise attack on their gathering place. Even if we had to Pay a certain price, instead of waiting until now to deal with it. It is somewhat too late. The enemy has already gathered enough superior land and sea forces. In this case, Abaddon would not dare to open a posture and engage the empire head-on."
Huron didn't expect anyone to throw cold water at the beginning, but the more than 2,000 well-disciplined Chaos Space Marines and millions of servant soldiers under Ganmartin's command were a considerable force, and he couldn't get angry for a while.
In fact, he knew that Ganmartin was right, but he also had his own difficulties, and he couldn't tell outsiders——
The several waves of envoys he sent to Galmyk were all sacrificed by the other side and their heads were sent back. This is enough to show the attitude of those Word Bearers bastards. They made it clear that they wanted to see their own show and were waiting for the opportunity to take revenge on those years ago. of hatred.
It stands to reason that their strength is not impossible to solve on their own, but Huron is really not sure about the attitude of the Word Bearers Legion and the demonic primarch who is said to have not appeared again after the Great Rebellion. If the other party is angered, then Huron What Lun has to face is not the thousands of Word Bearers in Galmyk.
He also sent envoys to Sikaros, the current home planet of the Word Bearers Legion, in order to reach a reconciliation between the two parties, but there was no news from all the people he sent. They were neither alive nor dead, and there was no response from Sikaros. It made him angry, hateful and helpless.
It was precisely because of this huge threat behind him that Huron did not dare to make a decision, let alone hastily spend all his wealth and cross the entire maelstrom to go to the Sagan system to fight Soshyan and the Imperial Expeditionary Force to the death. Prepare as much as possible for war.
It was not until some time ago that Amenus Vartex was basically able to control the thing sent by Abaddon that Huron had a solution, which was to deploy the thing between Galmyk and New Badab. area, relying on the powerful power of that thing to intimidate those bastards who worship gods every day.
"I'm afraid El-Sade is exaggerating."
War Lord Fabrizio Cacciatore suddenly made a low voice. He was originally a sergeant of the White Archon Chapter. After the Chapter's monastery was destroyed, he finally defected to the Red Pirates for unknown reasons. , and became one of Huron's most trusted "Four Masts" and the only non-Star Claw member among the Four Masts, commanding the 5,000 most elite members of the Red Pirates Headquarters.
"The Empire seems to have a large number of troops, but most of them are mortal soldiers. According to intelligence, the number of Space Marines in the Empire's expeditionary force is only between 6,000-4,000."
"No matter how many mortals there are..."
Demetrius suddenly laughed softly.
"They are just pigs and dogs waiting to be slaughtered on the battlefield. The more the empire sends, the more abundant our slave deck will be. This is a good thing."
Ganmartin glanced sideways at the other party. He hated the followers of Slaanesh the most in his life, so he said sarcastically:
"Every guy who thinks this way will die in the end. Only third-rate commanders will despise the enemy."
Onius immediately broke off the possible quarrel between the two.
"I do not look down upon the Puppet Emperor's army, but the shortcomings of the mortal troops are obvious. They mobilize very slowly, move relatively slowly, and have relatively rigid tactics."
Ganmartin nodded.
"I agree with this, and mortal soldiers need more logistics and a wider battlefield front, which means that their ability to choose the battlefield is very weak. This is why I am willing to come. Our biggest advantage is that we have many Space Marines can deploy and act very flexibly."
As he spoke, he pointed to the map and expressed his opinion.
"Now that the Colkeria system has been occupied, I personally suggest that the Badab sector be abandoned. You can see that Soshyan has deployed four theaters around that area, with tens of millions of Astra Militarum troops, making it clear that Fight with us there. If we go, we will be throwing ourselves into a trap. Even if we do not fail, we will still be trapped in the quagmire of a war of attrition. The empire can afford it. King Black Heart, can your strategic reserves afford it? ?”
Huron frowned slightly and asked instead of answering the question.
"And after that?"
"After shrinking the defense line, we can use our advantages to penetrate the gaps in the empire's defense line with small fleets and small units from several directions and attack the opponent's logistics nodes. At the same time, the main force will set off from the Colkeria system. A long-distance attack on the Pale Planet, which is farthest from other war zones and the most difficult for the empire to rescue. We concentrated our superior forces to quickly eliminate a war zone in Soshyan. After we succeeded, we immediately retreated and took advantage of our shorter defense line to attack instead. The system of abundance, which also mobilizes the Imperial forces back and forth to tire and weaken them, does not need to care about where to occupy, it only needs to eliminate the Empire's mobile forces as much as possible, especially the Astartes. As long as there are not enough Astartes, The Empire's Astra Militarum has lost its strategic support and can basically only hold on to the planet. At that time, the initiative on the battlefield will be entirely on our side."
After listening, Huron felt that it made sense and nodded slightly. Martin Gan was worthy of the title of strategic master. There are countless champions and fools among the Chaos Space Marines, but such a calm strategic mind is very rare.
But Huron was a little confused about giving up the Badab sector. On the one hand, that place had unique political significance. It was the place where Huron swore to return. He once said in front of many people that this place would always be the place. It will no longer belong to the empire. If he gives up his prestige, it will be a big blow, especially those mortal pirates, who are likely to sway. On the other hand, he has also invested a lot of resources there, especially those giant pirates. It felt a little sad to give up the fortress and defense facilities. Years of hard work had made Huron very sensitive to "waste". Even when distributing ammunition, he would remind him to use what he had accumulated in the past first.
Just as he was deep in thought, an objectionable voice sounded.
“The Badab sector cannot give up.”
When everyone saw it, it was Hong Suo who spoke.
Honso pointed to the star map and stated his point of view straightforwardly.
"Although the Badab sector is surrounded by the empire, it also restrains a large number of the empire's troops, and a complete defense system has been built there. It is definitely not a smart commander to abandon the strong fortifications and take risks to carry out any kind of attack. Think carefully about what you are doing. If you abandon the Badab sector, then the empire will use a large number of mobile troops. Then they will attack the Mago star cluster in a large scale. How to resist it? Moreover, the location of the Badab sector is so critical. If we lose this place, it means that we are completely trapped and unable to move in this small area!"
As soon as Hongsuo said this, everyone immediately started talking, and Huron also nodded slightly.
