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

Chapter 222 The thought of only having 50,000 cans left makes me feel insecure.

hiss!
Eighty thousand!

Expedition?
What a military operation this is!

Mobilizing an expeditionary force of 80,000 is almost equivalent to the entire power of the Gamma world.

"This"

"This is unacceptable! Eighty thousand expeditionary troops have drawn away almost seventy percent of the Gamma World's strength, leaving only thirty percent. How can we possibly contend with the enemy?"

"If an enemy attacks, and the Gamma World only has tens of thousands of expeditionary troops left, it will be too dangerous."

"Yes, the thought of that situation makes me feel unsafe."

"My lord, 80,000 expeditionary troops are too many. We can't leave only 40,000 or 50,000 expeditionary troops to guard the home. That would be too unsafe."

As soon as Sisley finished speaking, the others immediately stood up to object.

I'm so anxious.

Of the 80,000 expeditionary soldiers, only 50,000 cans of food remained at home.

Moreover, those 50,000 cans were all made by new recruits.

This is too much anxiety.

What if an enemy breaks in?
How are we supposed to fight those enemies with only 50,000 cans of food?

Macado's eyelids were twitching.

Hearing these people's fear, he assumed that Sisleyn had really sent out all the canned goods.

Not a single one was left.

result.

There are still 50,000 left at home.

Fifty thousand, what does that even mean?

If you expand...

Those Chaos Aliens have been gone for a long time.
Are you really not going to leave the mountains unless you're going to amass an invincible army at home?
Makado had no idea what they were anxious about.

With so many of your expeditionary forces deployed abroad, it's others who should be worried.

After all, back then, an army group in the empire consisted of around 100,000 men.

The enemy would only feel anxious if they saw 100,000 Astartes. But now, the Empire, because of the Astartes Codex written by Guilliman, has limited the number of Astartes soldiers to the maximum allowed for a single chapter. This has led to a large number of chapters being constantly split up, split up again and again.

It is almost impossible to reach the previous scale.

The sudden appearance of an expeditionary force of 80,000 could almost determine the victory or defeat of a major war.

Of course, the Empire's wars cannot be won by Astartes alone.

Astartes is only a part of it; the most important part is the Empire's hundreds of billions, even trillions, of mortal auxiliary troops.

If soldiers could be recruited from the Empire, the gigantic synaptic concentrator of the Gamma world could be crammed with people in a very short time.

Now, it's time for me to go out.

The Empire and the Gamma World need me to mediate between them.

"Yes, my lord."

Sigismund was surprised to find himself given two army groups of expeditionary forces at once.

An army group has about 50,000 men, two have 100,000 men, and although he only received an army group with 80,000 men, it can still be considered a relatively strong military force in the eyes of the outside world.

The Imperium could hardly muster 80,000 Space Marines at once, while the Chaos, though capable of producing a great many Chaos Space Marines, could not possibly reach such a terrifying number as 80,000.

With the addition of the war gunners, powerful firepower tearing nets, and space necromancy technology possessed by the Gamma World, they might actually have a chance to take back all of Abaddon's hard-won Blackrock Fortress in response to this raid.

Moreover, one advantage they have is that they can communicate with each other at any time.

The gamma world, possessing star maps and spacetime communication technology from necromantic beings, can transmit messages to each other with extremely low latency, while simultaneously receiving messages from the other party.

Provide command for the operation.

After the Gamma World issued the order, various parties began to make preparations. After all, raising an army, which required mobilizing 80,000 expeditionary troops, was not something that could be done immediately.

[Mission: Defense of Cadia]

[Mission 1: Obtain Blackrock Fortress 1]

[Mission Two: Obtain Blackrock Fortress 2]

[Mission 3: Obtain Blackrock Fortress 3]

Although it took Warmaster Abaddon a considerable amount of time to collect the six Blackrock Fortresses, on the bright side, the Gamma World wouldn't need to go through the trouble of collecting these powerful ancient technologies.

The technology built by the ancient saints before the War of Heaven was simply a boon to the Gamma World.

The former Holy Blood Angels warband, Idamas, looked at the conscription order and gazed in the direction of Kadia. "Are we going to the Human Empire now? Let me check the list, is my name on it? Actually, it is? Very good."

As someone who once had a blood feud with the Black Legion, Idamas was cruelly hung on their machinery by the Black Legion's chaotic army in his final moments, his body nailed to it, desecrating their home planet. Although the memory of this hatred had faded, their souls and the emotions of anger remained.

Unfortunately.

He has not fully regained his previous memories. His current memories are still driven by past emotions. He can only fully recall his memories if he obtains the genetic seed from the past.

On Energy One. Grave-digging team.

Cyrus, a member of this legion, also saw the order to recruit and was listed at the top of the list.

"Even the Gamma World is heading to support the Human Empire's Cardia, which means..."

Although we haven't seen what the current situation is in Cardia, and while the mission in Gamma World is ostensibly for Blackrock Fortress, it's unlikely that they would go to such great lengths to travel to Cardia, which is extremely far away, to obtain those weapons.

Even if they get it, how many years will it take to transport it over?

Thousands of years?
It might never be delivered.

Therefore, in their view, the operation was absolutely to support the human empire of Kadia, and even the Blackrock Fortress was just a way to convince themselves to send troops.

After all, even if there is a major upheaval in Cardia, it will only result in the loss of a fortress world and put the empire in a predicament, but it will not lead to the true demise of the empire.

Messages are spreading throughout the Gamma World.

Meanwhile, the contents of Cardia, which were sealed in the archives, began to be unsealed.

People who didn't know anything about Cardia at first gradually learned about it from the sealed files.

Of course, most of the content was provided by Blood Raven, and some was provided by people from other empires and Makado.

After all, Makado is an old man from ten thousand years ago. Even if he knows some information about Kadia, his information has become less credible over time.

A large number of soldiers are being mobilized rapidly.

Converging toward the center of the Gamma world.

Then it sailed toward the far eastern frontier of the Tau Empire.

This is the site of the largest gravitational slingshot construction in the Gamma World, a neutron star formed entirely from the collapse of a supermassive red giant.

“Wait, General Sigismund.”

Brown called a halt to Sigismund's campaign. This expedition was not only for the human empire, but also for the Gamma Empire. Therefore, in order to allow Gamma to gain as much benefit as possible in this war, while minimizing their losses, the campaign was launched.

On their way to the expedition, Brown needed to provide them with some equipment.

"Besides the Soul Stones, in the name of humanity, I will protect your safety."

"At the same time, bring these military technologies with you!"

Some of the technical sergeants in white coats were almost the same height as these modified individuals.

"They will transmit some important data to the Gamma World via the network."

They knew that the data about Blackrock Fortress would be extremely obscure and difficult to understand, and would even require extremely complex programs to decipher. However, the data about Blackrock Fortress was absolutely important. Chaos could not decipher this data, but they could.

Once they obtain it, they have a very high probability that they can completely crack the data and then use all the functions of Blackrock Fortress.

"Therefore, the key to the fortress is their data center, protecting these people, getting them into the data center, and then protecting them to gain access to Blackrock Fortress's technology."

They weren't envious of the technology of the human empire, or other factions.

The only thing they coveted was the technology of the Ancient Race, which the Space Necromancers and Star Gods were fighting against together.

After all, in much more ancient times, the Old Ones created creatures even more powerful than the current Greenskins: the Black Orcs.

This technology is from the ancient sages, so if the undead in the real universe cannot be fully resurrected, then the ancient sages' technology is equivalent to a divine artifact in the real universe. Whoever can master it will have the power to speak for themselves.

To prevent the space crater gamma.

They were also looking for opportunities, and obtaining the technology of the ancient saints was one of their backup plans.

If Vashtor hadn't consistently refused to come near them, and even when they tried to lure him with the Web Key, he wouldn't come out, Gamma would have already gone to steal Vashtor's Web technology and dig up the graves of the Ancients.

"Okay, I'll have someone protect them as they acquire the technology."

Sigismund nodded.

Brown also prepared some other technologies that they could use at the moment.

"Ozlax's technology is still under development. If you could leave a little later, you might be able to replace all of that technology directly."

The technology Brown was referring to was a specialized technique for dealing with chaos.

However, the technology of the space necromancers is already sufficient.

They don't need to completely annihilate those chaotic souls. After the technology becomes more widespread, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. They could even open a warp portal themselves and hunt in the warp.

At that time, it is hoped that the demons on the brass throne will not remain sitting there, blocking their way.

"The technology is ready."

"The gravity slingshot is also ready. I hope everything goes well for you."

"Thank you, humanity first, the Gamma World is eternal."

"Humanity first!"

The technology of Blackrock Fortress is indeed impressive, making it worthwhile for the Gamma World to take risks. The troop mobilization by the Gamma World has clearly made the surrounding forces somewhat uneasy.

After all, so many soldiers were being mobilized at once.

They naturally worry about what these people are going to do.
