Warhammer: Angron Training Manual

Chapter 358 The Main Force
……

The war room of the Indomitable Truth.

Officers from all the legion's elite forces gathered in an operations room that was only slightly smaller than the flagship command deck, standing solemnly around a holographic image amidst various information devices.

The holographic image accurately displayed an entire galaxy, as well as the human empire fleet in the galaxy. The fleets of each legion had already been carrying out different void combat missions after the Lion King had issued orders to his brothers.

This style is obviously different from the holographic imaging equipment of this era. It can even accurately display the entire process of various legions dismantling the void facilities of the Randan Galaxy.

Some warships, led by the Queen of Glory-class flagships of their respective legion fleets, broke through the firepower network, approached the bizarre void facilities of the Randan Empire, and continued to bombard the energy shields protecting the void facilities.

Transport planes, boarding torpedoes, think tank teleportation, and various other means of delivering the army into void facilities were used in turn.

While the main forces were gathering on the Indomitable Truth and the top brass were waiting in the operations room for the Lion King to issue combat orders, the fleets of each legion were already engaging in battle against the void facilities, and the soldiers of each legion were also engaging in battle against the Randan aliens in those void facilities.

You can imagine how fierce the battle was.

The information of each legion is summarized in real time in the holographic imaging equipment in the operations room. The various precise combat information provided allows Ryan, who is next to the image, to accurately judge the battle situation.

The Lion King's strategic mind utilized the Primarch's superhuman thinking ability and the experience from every past war, ultimately allowing Lion to quickly develop a perfect plan that would take mortals a long time to discuss.

But unlike the previous two Randan wars, where all parties could use various tricks and commanders could engage in strategic games without restraint, this annihilation war was about capturing cities and strongholds.

Ryan can clearly infer the enemy's intentions when deploying defenses on various planets, but what he can do is not to use sophisticated tactics to undermine the enemy's intentions. Instead, he can only be limited by the form of war and try to achieve perfection as much as possible in head-on combat.

This means that even though we know that some traps prepared by the enemy exist, we have no choice but to step into them and break them.

"If the 4th Legion Iron Warriors could come to fight... that would be great."

Kiel, who was beside Qin Xia, whispered.

It was hard for Qin Xia not to agree.

But it was a pity that Perturabo was not here, otherwise a siege master like him would be suitable for showing his prowess in this kind of war where one had to attack a stronghold and fight a stupid battle.

Qin Xia continued to observe the holographic image.

In the entire Randan galaxy shown above, there are three planets, named Randan No. 1, Randan No. 2, and No. 3.

The void facilities near Randan III are under attack, and the fleet is now approaching Randan III.

Then, in the fleet marked as the Fifth Legion in the image, a warship quickly broke away from the friendly fleet and headed towards Randan No. 3 after a void defense facility in front was destroyed.

The battleship launches whirlwind torpedoes.

The mark marked as a whirlwind torpedo on the image suddenly disappeared after approaching the Randan No. 3.

Ryan was no longer surprised by this situation.

The warships began to deploy rapid reconnaissance forces of the White Scars Legion.

Everyone waited for a while, and then, beyond everyone's expectations, the reconnaissance team disappeared from the holographic image after spreading out, and when they reappeared, they were rapidly approaching the warship that launched them from the Randan III.

"They're moving too fast," Kil said.

"The White Scars are fast, but not this fast." Qin Xia stared at the holographic image, "I think it may be that the flow of time on Ran Dan No. 3 is inconsistent with ours, but I don't know the specific reason."

After saying that, Qin Xia looked at the Dark Angels again. Those Dark Angels stood upright with their helmets in their hands, but were also whispering to each other.

Obviously they don't know why the time flow of Ran Dan No. 3 is so fast.

This shows that the First Legion had never encountered such a situation before when fighting against the Randan aliens.

However, the fast flow of time can also bring benefits to the human side. The White Scar Legion completed the long and difficult reconnaissance mission from their subjective perspective in just a few minutes. Then a series of marks appeared on the planet Randan III, which had no marks on the holographic image.

The mobilization of the Randan army, the suspected fortress-like buildings built on Randan No. 3, and various giant weapons that were sufficient to be presented as strategic targets.

"The Randan aliens will use a technology similar to the void shield to resist attacks."

"In the last Randan War, a Queen of Glory-class battleship of the First Legion was unable to break through the shield of the war celestial body, so it chose to directly ram it, which was how it resolved the war celestial body."

Ryan repeated some of the information he had previously given to those present.

"This defense is known to be able to intercept attacks, but like the void shield, it cannot intercept objects that are not extremely fast. We can still deploy troops onto the planet."

Ryan scanned all the marked points on the planet and pointed to one of them marked as a resource mining facility.

"Our goal is to use this facility to send cyclone torpedoes into the planet's ground and detonate them."

When the Primarch's finger pointed to the mark, the White Scars scouts' reconnaissance process of the facility and the video footage they had taken automatically popped up on the mark.

The images showed that this spike-like building was rapidly mining resources on the planet. It was like a creature, using its tubular mouthparts to penetrate deep into the ground and then suck up the resources. A White Scar warrior sneaked into the building and recorded the scene of its tubular mouthparts penetrating deep into the ground. He also used detection equipment to detect that the deepest part of the pipe was indeed about to reach the center of the planet.

When this video footage is captured, the holographic imaging device automatically classifies it as a mining device.

The White Scar warrior who captured the footage left the mining device and reunited with the Storm Prophet, teleporting away with him, and then the information he collected was summarized.

The device that presents holographic images is a tactical device that is not from this era and is capable of aggregating and processing large amounts of information and presenting it intuitively as images.

"This thing is pretty good." Qin Xia looked at the holographic imaging device.

The First Legion has a secret, which contains many ancient relics that the Emperor once collected. What Ryan is displaying in front of him should be the most common and ordinary thing among them.

Ryan stretched out his hand to enlarge the "resource mining" device mark on the holographic image, and then the planet Randan No. 3 was enlarged, and a huge building built around the mining facility appeared in front of everyone.

Every structure of the building is presented with incredible clarity.

"This kind of fortress should be built specifically for defensive warfare and does not rely on supply lines to maintain operation. Considering that the mining facilities are located underground in the fortress and provide a steady supply of resources, there should also be industrial facilities in the fortress to supply weapons and ammunition."

After Ryan expressed his views, he began to issue specific combat orders.

With the exception of the Dreadwing of the First Legion and the First Chapter of the XII Legion, the troops sent by the other Legions to join the main force were ordered to supply directly to the fortress itself.

Finally, Lion gave orders to Dreadwing and the First Regiment individually.

"Dreadwing is responsible for intercepting the enemy's reinforcements here." Ryan stretched out his hand to zoom in on the holographic image of Randan No. 3.

The fortress chosen as the target is located in an underground cavity, and there is only one way to enter the underground cavity.

There are fortresses everywhere on Randan No. 3. The distance between them and the time it takes for troops to travel between two different fortresses are all calculated by the Randan aliens. Once a fortress is attacked, other fortresses will immediately provide support.

Only the fortress chosen as the target was located differently from the other fortresses, in an underground cavity, which was why Ryan chose it immediately.

Dreadwing was ordered to set up interceptors along the path leading to the underground cavity.

The next thing left was the 1st Regiment of the 12th Legion.

"Your mission is simple. No matter what difficulties or obstacles our friendly forces face, you only need to open up a path to the mining facilities, ensure that the mining facilities are under our control, and can be sent underground and detonated immediately after the whirlwind torpedoes arrive," Ryan said.

Kiel thought that the World Eaters were still being used as assault troops, but then he realized that the mining facilities, as the lifeline of the fortress, must be strictly guarded, and there really needed to be World Eaters who were good at assault and who, after being reorganized, could have comprehensive capabilities as a regiment, or even a knight unit, to be responsible for the attack.

Qin Xia wanted to ask Ryan.

Since the White Scars' Storm Prophet can teleport people directly into the fortress, why does a large group of people have to rush down honestly and conduct an assault or something?

Why can't I just stuff the cyclone torpedoes directly into the ground under the mining facility?

Any mining facility in any fortress will do. After all, Randan III is not a colonial ship from the Golden Age, and it does not have the ability to intercept psychic energy.

So Qin Xia raised his hand.

Ryan originally wanted to ignore it, but considering Qin Xia's usefulness in his plan, he nodded to indicate that Qin Xia could speak.

"First, I can use large-scale psionic teleportation to transport the army directly into the fortress. The other think tanks present may find this a bit unbelievable, but I can do it."

"Secondly, I can directly transport the whirlwind torpedoes used by the battleships, which are huge, directly into the bottom of the Randan alien fortress that has no anti-psychic penetration ability, and stuff them into the pipelines of the mining facilities."

"So I suggest that no one of us go down, and let the whirlwind torpedo go down."

Qin Xia said and waited quietly for Ryan's response.

"During the Second Randan War, a very high-ranking psychic alien among the Randan aliens caused heavy losses to the Fifth Legion."

Ryan explained patiently.

"This type of psychic alien is not a warrior. Because their number is extremely small, they will only perform the most critical tasks at the most critical time and place."

"Your psychic power is indeed very strong, to be honest, but those psychic aliens are fighting on their home turf, and they have many ways to ensure that the whirlwind torpedoes you sent down will not be detonated."

"Also, I know you have the ability to teleport many people, but in my opinion, this ability should be used to assist the main force in teleporting directly into the fortress, rather than making pointless attempts."

Hearing this, Qin Xia thought for a moment and asked again: "Why didn't the psychic alien prevent our main force from being teleported, and why did it focus on intercepting the whirlwind torpedoes?"

Ryan lowered his head and looked at Randan No. 3, then raised his head again: "The decisions I make now are all repeatedly thought over and confirmed by self-doubt. In addition, the Dark Angels have no shortage of powerful think tanks. They have also tried what you want to try, but they have paid a heavy price. You will find out the reason later."

After that, Ryan looked at Luther and said, "Go and prepare for the large-scale teleportation of my brother's adoptive father."
