Warhammer: Just unified the Empire, you said it was 40K

Chapter 116 Calgar: No manpower, Titus calls for work

To conquer worlds isolated from the world by Warp Storm activity and the depredations of vile Eldar pirates.

The Imperium of Man launched an expedition against the Lizehi Sector in 742.M41.

However.
This expedition was far more difficult than they had imagined.

As the expedition progressed, they encountered much resistance.

Some worlds were recaptured by them, but some worlds, having been out of Terra's control for a long time, rebelled against humans.

Even more unfortunate is that.

They discovered that along the edge of the sky anomaly in the Gulf of Damocles, it had been infiltrated by an alien race called the Tau Empire. A large number of forces, Rogue Traders, and Planetary Governors were involved, and they were preventing the Empire from dealing with this alien world.

As more and more human empires break away from the empire and join the Tau Empire world.

The human empire finally could no longer ignore it.

Launched an expeditionary war against the Tau Empire.

However, in this battle, they seriously underestimated the strength of the Tau Empire, treating it as a low-level heretic, thinking that they could use their extremely loyal Astartes fleet and the naval fleet loyal to the Emperor at any time to wipe them out, just like they eliminated other aliens that resisted the Empire.

However.
After they successfully purified the world of Ves'il and marched non-stop across the Gulf of Damocles towards the Tau Empire's world of Pra'yen, the Emperor's warriors encountered the most terrifying counterattack. The Tau Empire's counterattack instantly made the White Scars, the Ultramarines, the Iron Hands, and the Scythes of the Emperor feel a catastrophe was imminent. The Tau Empire was not the weak race they had seen before. They owned an entire star kingdom.

And, coiled around the star kingdom, there are hundreds of worlds.

at the same time.

Hundreds of allied races emerged within the Tau Empire's forces.

However, the most horrific internal strife occurred among the forces of the Human Empire.

A large number of planetary governors rebelled in order to continue trading with the Tau Empire, and the wandering merchant daughter of Grit attacked the inquisitors from the Tribunal. The internal rift in the empire caused the Supreme Council of the Expedition to directly become a place of mutual attacks.

The first expedition against the Tau Empire ultimately ended in failure.

However, the Empire still seems to have not learned from its experience, and is now raising troops for this expedition against the Tau Empire.

The Tau Empire is also constantly drawing forces from their military recruitment to resist the attack of the Human Empire.

"I don't think it's the right time to continue raising troops to attack the Tau Empire. The Tau Empire is powerful, with at least hundreds of worlds and thousands of allied races. Their sphere of influence already encompasses nearly half of the star region. Although we can destroy it, we would need to mobilize too many fleets. What would that bring us? Every part of the Empire is being invaded by aliens. We should use a small part of the fleet to prevent the expansion of the Tau Empire, and then use these fleets for more important operations, rather than attacking a world that has no benefit to us right now."

Relying on its powerful diplomatic means and the promise and delivery of various benefits, the Tau Empire has completely incorporated many human empires into the damn caste system. The humans on some planets have completely forgotten about humanity and thrown themselves into the arms of the Tau Empire.

Even some planetary governors and Rogue Traders who participated with the signature of the High Lords were unwilling to let the Empire attack the aliens at this moment.

Instead, they hope the fleet will evacuate as soon as possible.

The pretext is to put the fleet on more important battles, rather than attacking the useless Tau Empire, but in fact it is to continue to maintain the transfer of interests with the Tau Empire.

The Inquisition of this star zone sent Inquisitors to this star zone to supervise this battlefield. Even so, these vested interests have never felt afraid. It is enough to show that after the last victory of the Tau Empire, these guys who have already developed heresy in their hearts no longer care about the empire's ideas. It seems that they don't care at all who is the master of this star zone. As long as they are allowed to grab enough benefits here, they don't care even if the master is an alien.

A planetary governor said, "It's not that we don't want to fight. As long as the Empire needs us, I am very willing to fight the Tau Empire. I am even willing to contribute my own private fleet and all the private soldiers I have recruited and trained. This is simply because of our loyalty to the Empire and the Emperor. However, I hope that they can be used in more important battles and on more important battlefields."

"That's right, Governor Rickert's words are exactly what I want to say. We are willing to use all our fleets to support the Empire, but judging by the current situation, the Tau Empire has stockpiled thousands of alien races on the border. They have even recruited a large number of Eldar pirates and interstellar pirate forces roaming around. If a war breaks out, it will only open up another war for the Empire on this border. The Empire should not be trapped in such a passive battlefield."

"This is a meaningless war of attrition. We should have understood from our first attack that this is a completely new race. We can't fight them like we did against those greenskin warlords, storming their home planet and carrying out a decapitation operation. We should change our strategy and use defense as an offense to prevent their expansion. As long as we stop their expansion, they will never be able to develop, and we can slowly devour the worlds they have plundered."

"How much benefit have you taken from the Tau Empire? It's what makes you protect the Tau Empire so much."

The Iron Hands captain remained silent, his entire body transformed into a mechanical one, emitting a deadly coldness. Even his expression became as cold as steel, and his eyes revealed impatience, as if he regarded the human in front of him as a dead person.

Humanity, remains the same.

The last Damocles Crusade that the Iron Hands participated in was filled with constant infighting and wrangling between various interest groups.

It was obviously a very simple matter, just to kill into the Tau Empire and their home planet.

However, the leaks of various intelligence and the dragging of the Empire caused several of their regiments' companies to fall into a trap.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Taking advantage of the Tau Empire? If we took advantage of the Tau Empire, would we still be standing here? If we took advantage of the Tau Empire, would we still support you with supplies and your fleet? Attack the Tau Empire. You can insult me, but you cannot insult my loyalty to the Emperor. I will regard this as the greatest insult you have ever given to me and the Empire. However, even if you insult me ​​like this, I will still give everything I have to the Empire, because this is not for you, but for the Empire, for the Emperor."

A nearby Rogue Trader chimed in, "Even if you doubt us, we're still willing to sacrifice everything we have to prove our innocence. In this world, you're not the only ones loyal to the Empire. Our loyalty is absolutely no less than yours! Our willingness to participate means we're willing to put everything on the line. If you fail, you can withdraw, but as the Planetary Governor and Rogue Traders, having chosen to stake everything on this, we will never leave."

"."

"."

"Our purpose has never been for ourselves, but to maximize the interests of the Empire." "If you think attacking the Tau Empire is the best way, then fine, we will follow you, but we will still maintain our original opinion. Our fleet is for the Empire, for the Emperor, for the future of mankind, and never for ourselves."

"well said."

In the Supreme Council of the Navy.

A voice came from outside.

Whether it was the planetary governor, the captain of the nearby chapter who was summoned by the omen, or the inquisitor, the supreme lord and admiral of the naval fleet, all looked outside.

A burly old warrior, much taller than the average Space Marine, was walking in with exaggerated strides. Two honor guards holding force field shields were following him on both sides.

Everyone who saw him knew his identity.

Ultramarines, Chapter Master.

Star Lord Macragge.

An important pillar of the empire.

Invincible blue group.

Returner.

Marius Augustus Calgar.

Why is this guy here?

Didn’t they say he went to the Wolf Pack?
Prepare to cause trouble for the Hurons.

Calgar's life is full of legends.

The true ICU God of War, he was on the verge of death countless times in battles and was pinned to the ground by various powerful characters, but he reshaped himself countless times with his strong will. The blue group he led won countless victories in the war, and he was always at the forefront of the charge.

Even some planetary governors know his name.

When the other regiments saw Calgar's arrival, they knew they were safe.

As for those mortal forces, their hearts skipped a beat when they saw Calgar coming.

Calgar was feeling irritated. Not long after he left, he received bad news from the world of Ultramar. Angron had appeared in the real world, and Chaos had attracted a large number of Tyranid Hive Fleets. These things were getting bigger and bigger. He did not have enough manpower on hand, so he planned to find the Inquisition of this star zone and ask them to transfer Titus back to him.

So, as soon as I got here and heard these people arguing, I immediately became dissatisfied.

What the hell time is it, and you are still arguing, still arguing.

Angron has appeared in the real universe.

The Tyranids are coming your way soon.

They are still arguing and calculating their own interests.

It's really for the sake of profit that they don't even care about the future of the empire and the fate of mankind.

So when he looked at the mortal governors and other forces who were still arguing and trying to gain more benefits at this time, he glanced at them with a sullen face, and finally stopped at the dynasty lord of the traveling merchant.

"So, you are eager to contribute to the empire?"

"Very good. I need some fleets to fight against the Zerg. The World Eaters from the Red Angels of Chaos have also appeared in the real universe. You should have enough troops."

"."

"."

Hearing Calgar talking about the Tyranids.

There was also the appearance of the Red Angel, Angron's legion of World Eaters.

The wandering trader who knew about the Tyranids immediately shut his loyal mouth.

If you fight the Tau Empire, you might still survive.

But if you fight the Zerg, you will definitely die.

To fight against the World Devourer is to suffer a fate worse than death.
