Protoss in Warhammer

Chapter 550. 538. The Belonging of Glory, the Soldier's Sigh

When the Ultramarines were preparing to prepare, at the Stargate on the edge of Jericho, a very large Imperial Expeditionary Force was ready.

The Obscure Star Territory government has made the most basic preparations for this expedition. The local navy has organized an Emperor-class battlecruiser, a Hyperion-class battleship, an ironclad, and fourteen A huge force composed of 41 Lunar Cruiser-class cruiser and its variants, 100 cruisers and more than [-] small auxiliary battleships and troop carriers.

The New Territories Army troops accompanying the Imperial Navy numbered in the tens of millions. Among them were not only conscripted soldiers from unknown areas, but also millions of truly elite troops.For example, the Iron Legion from Armageddon, the jungle warriors of Catachan, the Krieg Legion from the Death World, the devout Macbane personal soldiers, and of course, the most heroic and fearless Cadian at the Cadian Gate. Assault Army.

Theoretically, such a powerful mortal force is enough to support a great expedition, eliminate several alien civilizations, and conquer hundreds of planets.But this is not the war zones of the past. This is Jericho, which is second only to the Eye of Terror in terms of intensity and danger.

In this place, there is a mixture of fish and dragons, heretics, aliens, as well as the forces of the empire, the state religion, and the Mechanicus.This is not only a place to test combat effectiveness, but also a place to test commanders and outstanding political skills.This is why the commander-in-chief of this expeditionary force needs someone with amazing force and an excellent politician.

Because when you come here, you need to handle various local relationships very safely.

For example, if the Inquisition and the Imperial State Church are left in charge, it is very likely that the Imperial Expeditionary Force will be targeted throughout the entire region.If an aristocrat is allowed to sort it out, it is very likely that this expedition will basically be a military parade in name only, and the safest thing is to let the right person lead the war.

Although the High Lords Council is very reluctant, and the nobles of the Empire here are also very reluctant, the Astartes, these powerful Emperor's Angels are obviously the best leaders, at least among mortals. They are the best option until there is another Makarian.

In the small officer's garden on the Emperor-class battleship "Howl of Heresy", Admiral Grius is comfortably drinking a cup of hot cocoa produced in the heavenly world, this unimaginable, floral delicacy, It's not something that can be compared to the Reca coffee produced in the ordinary industrial world.

After taking a sip of the fragrant sweet cocoa, the whole person can instantly enter a state of refreshment, and it can also make the old general feel that his body is full of strength again.On the opposite side of a pure white marble table was Admiral Uramis, the captain of the ironclad ship "Emperor Glory".The bearded Admiral Uramis looked at the hot cocoa in the white porcelain cup in front of him and couldn't help admiring
"It is an unimaginable treat to enjoy such a wonderful drink as is customary here, my friend."

After hearing the other party's appreciation, Grius smiled and shook the silver spoon in the bone china teacup. He looked at the rare and exotic plants from the Imperial Garden World and the Eldar Ark World around him and said with a smile.

"Do you like my garden, my old chap?"

"Of course, my friend, the plants here have a natural fragrance and unimaginable beauty. Although they are not as rich in variety, rich and bright as the gardens in my upper-level hive city in Sintila, in such a warship It just astounds me that there is so much refinement and perfection inside."

Uramis praised the smallness and precision of the opponent's garden without hesitation. This is indeed a good place, and it is still in such a compact place where the Emperor-class battlecruiser can have such a flawless one that can see Going to the garden under the stars is indeed refreshing and breathtaking.

After hearing the other party's gorgeous compliment, Grius asked half-jokingly, "Do you want my garden-making family to build such a small garden on your battleship? After that kind of glorious war, The fatigue will definitely set in and I think you definitely need some rest."

The captain in front of him smiled and rejected the other party's request after hearing it, and then explained the reason
"No, man, that armored ship is old enough and will be decommissioned soon. This expedition is probably the last time this battleship will go out. Next time, I will probably replace it with a new one. Battleship, maybe Hyperion class, or other battleship. After all, that ironclad ship has been driven by our family since my grandfather. They are all admirals, but they all hope to get a new one. Battleship.”

Grius nodded in agreement after hearing this. After all, although the structure of the armored ship is very hard, it was built so long ago that it is even equipped with an old plasma shield that was later installed instead of a void shield. Today, The increasingly grim battlefields of this galaxy are truly an anachronism.

"Just relying on steel is not enough, just like it is impossible to only have those powerful war angels in a war, more mortals are needed to pay for it with blood."

"But sadly, after every battle, people will only remember the saints and angels who were placed on the church, but no one has asked about the glory of our navy and Star Militia."

The captain of the iron-clad ship said angrily, after all, after every war, the only name people sang was Astartes, without them, which is really unfair in a sense.

Another captain thought the same way. At this moment, he asked

"Say, when will those space fighters come? I heard that it's the Ultramarines who are here this time."

Uramis sneered after hearing this and said in a teasing tone
"That's right, the sons of the great Augustus are full of supreme glory and unimaginable wealth. They are the greatest warriors in the universe, and their merits are sung throughout the galaxy!
Oh, my God, we are attacked by heretics and need rescue. Who will rescue us?It's the great Space Marines. Thank you to the great Ultramarines. You saved us, but no one took care of us. When these Space Marines were playing cool on the ground, who was using blood and tears for these in space? The angels blocked the attacks of heretics and aliens. "

Hearing such disrespectful words from the other party, the captain in front of him burst into laughter, and then the smile disappeared and turned serious, not because of the other party's words, but because the commander this time was still an Astartes. .

"Yes, but the people think so, the nobles think so, and the state religion is eager to promote it every day. This time, we are destined to follow these angels."

The two navy captains smiled wryly at each other. It is useless for them to say too much here. For those angels, the lives of mortals can be crushed. If these reckless people do not pursue any price, Like the Space Wolves, the Inquisition is nothing more than a herd of livestock to be killed.

This is the fundamental gap between angels and mortals in this 40th millennium.
