Standard Terra Calendar 975.41, Tempest Sector, Dark Frontier Area, Ekvolia System
"How is the situation now?"
In the orbit of the forging world Ekvolia, an unprecedentedly powerful fleet visited here, so much so that the foundry director here, Prezemyslo, was not mentally prepared, especially knowing that it was the famous star from the star realm who came. He was even more shocked when he met Knight Chapter Master Soshyan Alexey.
And more than that, why did this imperial hero get involved with a "heretical" forging world like Ulan Huda?
Why did he lead the White Templars instead of the Astral Knights? There has never been an example of a Chapter Master leading another Chapter in the Empire!
Most importantly, what is he doing here? ?
This series of questions may or may not have been answered after he had a secret conversation with the sages sent by Bangura, but he did not express doubts again.
Soshyan doesn't care what deal Bangura made with the other party, or in other words, coercion and inducement. Now that he's here, he has to do what he wants to do. He has to manage the war here, and this forging world will also become his power. Scope, it's that simple - how much power can you do? This is a reality he finally accepted after so many years of ups and downs.
"The situation is basically under control now."
The foundry director with eight arms stood next to the huge prototype display. Although his highly mechanized figure was quite tall, he was still smaller than Soshyan.
"The current production efficiency of the planet has dropped by 43%. If the war continues for another three months, it will expand to 51%. The production plan for the next seventy years will also be affected, and Mars may be held accountable."
Soshyan did not respond to him immediately, but looked at the patches of color on the planet and a series of images that appeared next to them, all of which were scenes of the Skitarii fighting the Genestealers.
Prezemyslow finished describing a general battlefield situation in a very fluent tone, and then pulled out a series of forms and data.
Under the rapid operation of his robotic arm, many color blocks appeared in the planet projection, and a large amount of information was marked, including enemy-occupied areas, firefighting areas, control areas, and the locations of various skitarii. Since it is a small forging world, Therefore, they have no Titans to deploy, but they do have three legions of Cybertronic battle robots, which are also the main force in suppressing the Genestealer sect.
".Scorch Oven City has completely fallen, which is where these aliens now mainly gather. One-third of Cui Fank City on the east side of Scorch Oven City has been invaded, and the Steel Teeth Legion is fighting against them. This city is It is the location of the most important fortification industry in the Forge World. It is very important. Currently, the radiation wasteland from Scorch Oven City to Trevank City has been blocked by an interception force composed of rangers and dune crawlers, and ornithopters patrol the sky day and night. The possibility of the aliens in Scorch Oven City to support their troops in Trevank City from the ground has disappeared. The only worry now is the underground passage. To the north of Scorch Oven City is the Slag Mountains, which is also a commanding height overlooking the entire city. The Skitarii have been trying to Control there, but the aliens are very cunning, digging a large number of caves and passages, and using earthwork and guerrilla warfare to confront us, resulting in very slow progress in the war. To the west of Scorch Oven City is the No. 3 Holy Furnace Mining Area. Currently, about half of the area is occupied by aliens. Control, they have desecrated many excavation machines as their war machines, and the Black Flash Legion is currently at war with them. There is currently no sign of enemy activity in the Acid Lake Swamp area south of Scorch Oven City. It is very unsuitable for life activities and can be judged as A natural obstacle."
Nothing too special either.
After a while, a smile suddenly appeared on his face and he said:
"Director Przemyslo, do you know anything about the gene stealers?"
"Some priests in the field of alien biology have done research, but it may not be too in-depth."
Soshyan gently knocked on the console with his hand. After a moment, the hatch opened, and two white Templar Terminators walked in pushing a huge shelf, followed by a man wearing a red robe, with a pale and thin face, and one eye. The Mechanic Priest has been replaced with the Mechanical Doctrine Eye.
The foundry director turned around and saw that it was a specimen of a pure-blood gene stealer.
Soshyan walked slowly to the specimen, then patted the carapace on the gene stealer's body with his hand, and said to the technical priest beside him:
"Father Falla, please introduce Director Przemyslo."
This technical priest was Falla, whom Soshyan brought back to the battle group when he found Savita. He later studied with biological priest Ford, and then went to Zhao Akada to study. His main focus was alien biology. Especially the Tyranids and Genestealers. All the mentors who taught him praised him for being very talented. He only ended his studies and returned to the war group in recent years. At this time, he has changed from the young apprentice in the past to a A erudite tech-priest with a passion for knowledge.
Because he would be participating in the battle against the gene stealers this time, Soshyan simply summoned him from Naisen IV. After all, it was not good to rely too much on the scholars of Ulan Huda.
In a huge group with increasingly complex interests and personnel, balance is very important.
Faya nodded, and unfolded three auxiliary arms behind her back that had a distinct biological texture that resembled insect limbs. Then she pointed at the various parts of the Gene Stealer and began to explain.
"Director Przemyslo, the chitin carapace of gene stealers may not be very strong, but they are not afraid of cold or heat, and are very resistant to high pressure and corrosion. Normal acidic substances are just like normal to them. Just like people taking a bath with clean water, their sensing organs are also very unique."
Soon, the communication between the two Mechanic Priests changed from language to pure data. Soshyan was not in a hurry. It was not until Faya finished speaking that he smiled and said:
"So your assumptions about the Sour Lake Swamp area are too optimistic. I can even conclude that they have already established a stronghold there, but they are just dormant. When you use all your general forces in the other three directions, it will be very difficult. They may suddenly come out in force and head straight to your city, and then you will make the sky and the earth unable to respond, and the earth and the earth will not work."
"This-this-yes."
Prezemyslow finally admitted this, because after adding a series of conditions and data mentioned by Falla, his logic operator quickly came to the conclusion that what the other party was talking about was a high-probability event.
Soshyan then walked back to the imaging device. In fact, he had expected this situation. Although the mechanical sages were good at calculation and analysis, they were often short of strategy and planning. This seemed a bit strange. The contradictory statement is actually reflected in the followers of the Mechanicus. Perhaps they are easily confused by the straightforward data and ignore the many variables outside the data.
This is also the reason why the Skitarii are obviously very powerful, but often find it difficult to play a decisive role.
