This is our Warhammer journey

Chapter 132 Black Templars: What, there are Iron Warriors?
Romulus tilted his head slightly, his eyes falling on the wandering merchant Hendaris beside him. The voices of Arthur and Ramses echoed in his mind, and their words confirmed the truthfulness of Hendaris's words from different angles.

Despite this, Romulus's face remained calm, without showing any worry.

"I understand."

Romulus nodded slightly.

These Rogue Traders followed the expeditionary fleet all the way, witnessing the various battles the fleet went through during the process of rebuilding the trade routes. They had a clear understanding of the intensity of the wars the expeditionary fleet encountered.

Many conflicts that are extremely difficult for local star regions are seen as "relaxing activities" that can be resolved in an instant in the eyes of the expeditionary fleet. In some cases, the attacking forces will even have a duel internally to warm up.

However, the Iron Warriors are a little different.

In the void war, the Iron Warriors may not be considered powerful among the Astartes, but if they are allowed to fight in a fortress, the situation will be completely different.

Take Dantioch as an example. He once led several tactical teams to resist the attack of tens of thousands of Space Marines, not only annihilating thousands of people, but also destroying an Emperor-class Titan.

Although other warsmiths may not have the same exaggerated battle record as Dantioch, their basic skills are still there under the harsh torture of Perturabo.

These fortresses are usually equipped with permanent void shields, and the fleet's support strikes can hardly cause effective damage to them.

Romulus's eyes flickered slightly, and he continued to ask:

"So, Mr. Hendaris, what does your dynasty seek to gain?"

Hendris waved his hand gently, a wry smile appearing on his face. His eyes revealed a hint of helplessness and relief, as if he had already seen through some unchangeable fate.

"Ever since the Dark Eldar annihilated our entire mobile fleet, I realized that the things on that planet were no longer within my reach."

Romulus narrowed his eyes slightly and saw through Hendaris's expression and his inner thoughts.

The Rogue Trader's mentality was obvious - since he could no longer obtain the things on that planet, no one else could easily get them.

"So that's why the Iron Warriors are singled out for emphasis, right?"

Romulus thought to himself, with a faint smile on his lips.

It can be seen that the dynasty that Hendris belongs to is indeed of a long history, and it is even well aware of the feud between the Iron Warriors and the Imperial Fists.

Romulus would bet that anyone who casually mentioned that "the fortress on this planet was built by the Iron Warriors, and now these Chaos traitors have reoccupied it" would be a good idea.

Then, Supreme Marshal Ledotus would charge forward without hesitation with the warriors of the Black Templars, completely capture the fortress on the planet with unprecedented offensive enthusiasm, and finally build a more solid one to replace it.

We can also get a glimpse of this from the change in Ledotus' attitude.

The Supreme Grand Marshal, who had been sharing combat experience with the Primaris Space Marines, had now begun to listen, and was obviously very interested in the situation on this planet.

The lord of the dynasty did not even distance himself or adopt an isolated stance, but talked about these things directly in front of Astarte, which was obviously intentional.

"There are quite a lot of little thoughts."

Romulus thought to himself, but his face remained calm.

"Thank you for your reminder."

Romulus nodded slightly, with a hint of alienation in his tone.

Hendaris's actions were nothing more than hinting that there was something important on that planet, while also pointing out the risks involved, in an attempt to coerce the Astartes into his own use.

The leader of the dynasty was indeed perceptive and seemed to have grasped the real purpose of the expeditionary fleet from some clues.

"One of the raw materials supplied to the Ominous Order's Psychic Titans in the past, could it be the Eldar's Eternal Circuit?"

Ramses' voice rang out in Romulus' mind, with a hint of interest.

Everyone knew what the most precious thing was on the Eldar ruins planet, and it was a great pity that they did not encounter any Eldar pirates during the expedition. They also copied the soul stones collected by those wandering merchants, but they did not have much clue about what to do with the soul stones alone.

Romulus felt that they needed to go and see for themselves, even for safety reasons.

Although the Iron Warriors are considered a relatively rare type of Chaos Space Marines who reject mutations, this does not mean that they will not use the power of Chaos.

The Eldar, whether their creations or themselves, are considered the highest quality Chaos sacrificial materials in this universe.

"What I can tell you is that we will still go to that planet."

Romulus' voice was calm and firm:
"If it still resists, we will rescue it. If it has already fallen, we will destroy it and reclaim the galaxy. But if we choose to flee, I'm afraid a whole new war and crisis will engulf the entire human world."

"Ah."

Hendaris responded seriously, with no emotion visible on his face.

Seeing the other party's reaction, the traveling merchant realized that he should not say any more. He bowed slightly and saluted respectfully, then took out a letter from his arms and handed it over with both hands.

"Then I'll take my leave."

Hendaris's voice was respectful.

"May victory always be with you."

Romulus took the letter, put it in his arms, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

“I wish you can move towards exploration and the unknown.”

He said, then turned and left the table with a steady and leisurely step.

The lights in the room flickered slightly, reflecting on Romulus's armor, reflecting a cold light, and his back gradually disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Hendaris stood not far away, his eyes deep, as if thinking about something, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

-

"Lord Romulus."

Ledotes hurried over with a rare eagerness in his steps. Behind him, Pedro and the executioner's priest followed closely, as if they had smelled something important.

Clearly, the Imperial Fist's reaction to the Iron Warriors was truly extraordinary.

"This is the detailed information on the situation on the planet Opt."

Romulus raised his eyes slightly, glanced at a few people, then took out the carefully wrapped letter from the storage box and handed it over.

"Each regiment began tactical planning and then concentrated on tactical discussions."

"Yes."

Ledotus took the letter without hesitation.

He did not think that Romulus's actions were unnecessary, but instead took it very seriously.

Although on the battlefield, Romulus's command can free the commanders of each chapter from heavy tactical thinking and focus on displaying their martial arts, the expedition will eventually end, and Romulus cannot serve as their commander forever.

Romulus' greatest advantage lies in his analytical ability, which is like that of a battlefield AI. Although his combat experience may not be richer than that of these battle-hardened warriors, he can quickly integrate existing cases and select the most suitable tactics from them.

In any case, the summarized combat ideas are worth referring to and learning, and have considerable practical application value.

Apart from being reserved about subspace knowledge, the time travelers do not have many taboos about the spread of other knowledge.

After two years of expedition, Romulus has compiled many war cases into books. Currently, the commanders of the expedition fleet are studying them intensively. Even if they will not be applied, this process is needed to constantly encourage them to think and select members who are suitable for taking on command responsibilities.
