Warhammer, but Emperor's Chosen

Huron sat in the main seat, a frown on his helmetless face.

But when he saw Noah, Huron's face immediately broke into a smile, and he stood up to greet him:

"Noah, sit down."

"Mr. Noah."

Chapter Master of the Lamenters, Foros, and Chapter Master of the Mantis Warriors, Sartak, looked solemn and also stood up to greet them.

"What are you talking about?"

Noah asked in a lighthearted tone.

"We are discussing whether we should ask for help."

Huron did not hide it. He did not sit in the main seat anymore. Instead, he sat down next to Noah and explained, "I am going to thoroughly clean up the threats in the Great Whirlpool Universe, but I still have some concerns."

Noah asked in surprise:

"With your current military strength? Isn't it enough to solve the bandit problem in the Great Whirlpool?"

A few hundred years ago, the Maelstrom's four chapters alone were enough to overwhelm Chaos and the Greenskins.

The total number of the three regiments now totals at least 8600 people, and even though almost two-thirds of them are recruits with less than 2 years of service and have not experienced much of the test of war, they are genuine Space Marines after all, and their actual combat effectiveness will definitely not be bad.

In this situation, what reinforcements are needed?

Huron shook his head and said in a deep voice:

"If it was a few years ago, it might not be a big deal, but it's different now."

"A few years ago, the Titan Legion of Fortitude's Wrath betrayed the Empire and almost destroyed Saint Cilia. Since then, they have completely disappeared from the Empire's sight. But not long ago, our reconnaissance team reported that they found traces of the Titan Legion of Fortitude's Wrath on a planet in the Great Vortex Universe!"

Titan Legion?

Noah sat up straight, looking a little serious:

"So you are now considering asking for help from other Titan Corps?"

"Do not."

Huron shook his head and said in a deep voice, "We are considering whether we should ask for help. If we don't ask for help, how can we destroy this Titan Legion!"

Although the three chapters are now extremely wealthy, it is still somewhat arrogant to think that they can deal with an entire Titan army alone.

Chapter 156 It doesn’t matter, it’s all the same

There are approximately 1000 Space Marine Chapters in the Imperium of Man in the galaxy.

Compared to the endless number of IG big heads, this number is definitely rare. The Space Marines are worthy of their rare numbers and are the real elite force of the Empire.

But even the Space Marines are slightly inferior to the precious Forge Worlds of which there are only a few hundred in the Imperium, and the Titan Legions that belong to them.

The simplest example is that the Inquisition may easily destroy an entire Space Marine Chapter for various strange reasons, but they will not do so to the Titan Legion.

To deal with an entire Titan army, even the weakest one, the Maelstrom's own defensive strength is far from enough.

Although the Empire also has super-heavy tanks such as the Shadow Sword, its volcanic cannon gives the Shadow Sword terrifying anti-armor firepower, earning it the reputation of "Titan Killer".

But a killer is a killer. If Shadow Sword really wants to compete with Titan, it must have at least multiple Shadow Swords to form a coalition. With thousands of tank companies acting as cannon fodder to provide cover for Shadow Sword, only with close coordination and sneak attacks can they have a chance to destroy a Titan.

If it were during the Great Crusade, the Space Marine Legion could indeed be equipped with Shadow Swords on a large scale.

For example, a certain Mr. Pixar who does not want to reveal his name owns a Shadow Sword as his personal car.

But in 40K, due to the restrictions of the Codex Astartes, the power of the Space Marine Chapter is greatly limited. They do not have shadow swords, nor are they allowed to have shadow swords, nor do they have thousands of armored troops.

So most of the time, only Titans can defeat Titans.

Therefore, they must have the support of the Titan Legion in order to compete with the Titan Legion of Resolute Fury.

But the problem is...

"Noah, you know that too."

Huron said politely, "At our current level, it is indeed not suitable for us to have too much contact with other forces in the empire."

Noah glanced at him.

What level?

The level of scale!

The easiest way to deal with the Titan Legion is to invite a Titan Legion. But inviting the Titan Legion will inevitably lead to contact with many forces such as the Mechanicus. By then, the phenomenon of over-birth and over-fertility that is rampant in the Great Whirlpool Universe may be exposed.

Although they all consider themselves loyal subjects of the empire and have more children than allowed in order to better defend the empire's borders, how will the empire view them?

Noah thought for a moment and asked:

"How many of you are there now?"

Although he knew the answer, he still had to ask in order not to sell Huron.

Huron said seriously:

"Not counting recruits, the Astral Claws have four thousand battle brothers."

Foros and Saltak were about to speak, but when they heard this, they looked at Huron in surprise.

They originally thought that Star Claws would have at most 2500 to 3000 people, but it turned out that there were over 4000, not counting the new recruits.

You are really good at giving birth!

Foros was silent for a while, then he spoke:

"The Weepers have sixteen hundred battle-brothers."

"The Mantis Warriors have two thousand two hundred battle brothers." Saltak also replied.

Although the topic of over-birth is very sensitive, we are all family, and the reason why they can reach their current scale is all due to Noah's support. There is no need to hide it.

What's more, their power armor was all provided by Star Claws, and the specific scale was no secret.

"Where's Tiger Claw?" Noah asked.

“No.” Huron shook his head. “They must rebuild under the supervision of the Ultramarines. They are too few in number.”

Noah understood that with the Ultramarines, Tiger Claw could only train new soldiers at a rate of 100 at a time, and even at the fastest rate, it would take nearly 120 years to restore combat power.

But for Tiger Claw, being able to rebuild the regiment is a great blessing, and he cannot ask for too much.

Noah knocked on the table:

"With a scale of nearly eight chapters, it is more than enough to eliminate the threats in the Great Whirlpool Universe. As for the Titan Legion, leave it to me."

Huron asked, "You have a Titan Legion?"

Noah admitted frankly:

"I have a Warlord-class Titan and a Mechanical Ark."

A Titan?

Sartak frowned slightly, not that he didn't believe Noah.

But there is indeed a small gap between a single Titan and an entire Titan army. Do we really want to take such a risk?

"You can try it."

Huron saw the hesitation of others and said in a deep voice, "At least we must drive the enemy out of the Empire's control area first!"

Foros thought for a moment:

"Then we must attack on all fronts and not give the enemy a chance to breathe."

Sartak could not raise any more objections after hearing this, and after a moment's silence, he said:

"This is a large-scale battle. We also need the cooperation of the navy and the Astra Militarum."

The Space Marines are the elite, the sharp sword of the Empire.

But the mission of the spearhead is to attack, not defend.

Even if a full-scale attack is launched, the captured planets must be defended.

"Don't worry about the navy. We can call on the navy of the Great Whirlpool Space at any time. As for the Astra Militarum, we can draw PDF from it."

“Will PDF work?”

"Don't worry, this was trained by Star Claw himself."

Huron paused, then said, "According to the standards of the Ultramar Auxiliary Army."

Over the past few decades, the development of Star Claws has been extremely aggressive.

They may not have anything else, but their military strength is barely enough.

Noah immediately made the decision:

"Then fight. Only by fighting can we achieve long-term peace and stability!"

Two hundred years ago, the Guardians of the Maelstrom launched an expedition against the enemies of the Maelstrom, going deep into the heart of the Maelstrom and trying to destroy the enemy with battle. However, the war ended in failure as the Tomb Guards withdrew from the battle under the order of the High Lord.

But now, they will launch another expedition to complete the unfinished business of their predecessors!

-----------------

The Great Vortex in a broad sense includes the entire Great Vortex. However, the Great Vortex defined by the Human Empire actually only includes a small star field on the southwest side of the Great Vortex. The real Great Vortex is actually outside the borders of the Human Empire.

In fact, the Great Vortex Universe is not a geographical or administrative division, nor is it a truly coherent area.

Although the Maelstrom region contains many major Imperial worlds and colonies, the Imperium of Man has never been able to fully centralize and control the region, and even short-term control is difficult.

Because in the Maelstrom, there are at least 20 Orc Empires, as well as a large number of aliens, pirates and Chaos traitors.

of course.

Only small-time humans would be bothered by these little things; real manly orcs never care.

"Waaagh!"

Hundreds of millions of orcs are fighting each other on the planet, roaring and screaming excitedly, smashing each other's heads. Even in the orc empire ruled by Warboss, fighting is the only desire among orcs that never stops.

In geostationary orbit around the planet's equator, a large fleet of junk ships is being built, and the Great Gear is modifying them so that the Orks can travel across the stars.

Until then, only fighting can comfort their boredom.

Warboss sat on his throne, playing with the thick fang necklace hanging on his chest with his big green hands, watching the boys fighting each other in boredom and yawned.

Since becoming the Warboss, no one in the tribe dared to challenge him. He hadn't fought a real life-and-death battle for a long time.

That's why he is so eager to travel between stars, to find more powerful enemies in the universe to fight, to carry out the mission given to him by Brother Goof, and to launch a great Waaagh across the galaxy!

It is said that in the neighboring Badab star region, among those shrimp-like humans there are also big guys like the orcs, and the strongest one is called Huron. This is the information Warboss got from a lost human merchant ship.

Ever since learning this information, Warboss has been excitedly planning.

He thought that one day he would kill the big guy of the human race, so that Big Brother would continue to bless him and make him become more and more Waaagh!

suddenly.

The orc Warboss' eyes lit up and he looked up at the sky.

The exploding spacecraft was flickering like a star, and a huge fireball was falling from the sky.

It was a junk ship they were building, and it was attacked without warning.

"Waaagh!!"

Warboss stood up from his throne, roaring with great anger and excitement.

He was angry that the great master on the track didn't call him during the fight, and excited that humans were finally coming to fight him!

"Waaagh!!!"

Infected by the Warboss's excitement, more and more orcs gathered together and watched the battle in the sky excitedly.

Although their original plan was to go to the human world to fight, it was indeed a bit unexpected that humans would come to them on their own initiative.

But so what?
