The Protoss in Warhammer

Chapter 552 540. Ultramarines' reinforcements and huge allies

The priests and popes of the state religion on the ground were excitedly promoting the glory of the great angels of the Emperor to the worshippers, and the Imperial Navy also saw the warships of the Astartes.

This naturally did not escape the eyes of the two captains of the main battleships. The two white-haired captains stood up in the small garden, holding plates and bone china teacups, and quietly watched the huge warships sail out of Mandeville Point.

However, after they paid attention for nearly five or six minutes, they found something wrong:

Is there something wrong with the number of these ships?

Indeed, the number of those warships is really wrong. Look up at the sky. Until now, there are still a large number of warships passing through Mandeville Point. Judging from the naked eyes of the two captains, there are at least five main battleships here, including cruisers, battlecruisers, and strike cruisers. Such behemoths also exist.

"How many warships does that warship commander have?!"

Grius looked at the warships that kept coming and finally couldn't help but ask such a question, which was also the question that almost all the senior officers present wanted to ask, that is, they really couldn't imagine that a warship would have so many warships!

Moreover, according to the Astartes Festival, each warship can only have cruisers and warships of the following types. Except for the behemoths like the Queen of Glory class, which is the inheritance of the entire warship, other warships should not violate this Astartes Code? How come the Ultramarines' fleet now has a huge battlecruiser?

At this time, the captain of the ironclad ship next to him stretched out his shriveled finger, pointed at the battlecruiser, and said with a surprised tone

"Look at the logo on that warship, I know that warship! It's the "Supreme Dignity" of the Black Templar! Did they also participate in this expedition?"

At this time, everyone realized that there were not only warships of the Ultramarines in the sky, but also warships from other Astartes. People saw the strike cruiser "Endless Fury" of the Crimson Dogs Fist Regiment, and the moon-class cruiser "Slay Heretics" of the Invaders Regiment. Of course, there were warships from more regiments, some from the Nova Marines, some from the Eagle Marines, and at least seven regiments, including the Ultramarines, sent troops to participate in this expedition.

This was far beyond the expectations of the expeditionary command. They originally thought that only the Ultramarines would come to this expedition.

When the Ultramarines were summoned by the High Lord and decided to participate in the Jericho Expedition, they began to call for their flesh and blood brothers and cousins. With Calgar's excellent political ability and good reputation for hundreds of years, he has accumulated a lot of good relationships among the Space Marines, so when the Ultramarines are in trouble, many Space Marines are willing to lend a hand.

The first to accept Calgar's response were the Sons of Guilliman. These chapters that separated from the Ultramarines Legion in the past have now once again responded to the call of the mother group. In addition to helping the Ultramarines in this expedition, their mission is to guard the defense measures here after the Ultramarines leave Macragge.

The Astartes who stay in the Ultramarines homeland must not only be careful at all times, but also be vigilant against the Tyranids and Karai Protoss that may attack from the eastern borders, and also need to be vigilant against threats from within the Empire.

Those aliens who have been huddled at the border of the Empire are likely to take advantage of the Ultramarines leaving the edge of the Ultramarine to launch a new invasion of the eastern borders of the entire star field. As for the threats within the Empire, it naturally refers to the Inquisition and the High Lords Council. After all, those bastards are good at doing nothing. For example, when the Celestial Lions faced the invasion of Chaos, they even voluntarily gave up their home planet to resist the enemy of the country, and the Inquisition actually cut off the head of the chapter leader who advocated fighting Chaos in front of everyone.

This incident caused a huge uproar within the Astartes, and made everyone understand what the so-called majority of the Inquisition did.

The Ultramarines must beware of this possibility.

When Captain Calgar successfully let his blood relatives defend the Ultramarines' homeland, he also began to call on his cousins ​​who had fought with the Ultramarines. The Sons of Dorn, the Sons of Sanguinius, the Sons of Ferrus, and a large number of warbands that were helped by the Ultramarines responded to the call of the Ultramarines, and they more or less sent their own troops and warships.

Some people sent a warship, some sent a company, and the most surprising was the Black Templar Marshal Malrich and his battle brothers, a full 700 Space Marines, a battlecruiser and a strike cruiser joined the expedition. If you add those Space Marine warbands that did not send fleets, there are actually 13 Space Marine warbands participating in this expedition.

After receiving the support sent by these brave cousins, Calgar expressed his gratitude to all of them equally. With this huge support, plus his own Ultramarines, the number of Astartes in this expedition exceeded 5,000, which was a force that should not be underestimated.

When Calgar, the leader of the station, came to the center of the Jericho expeditionary fleet, he found an embarrassing problem.

The order of the Terra High Lords' Council came down, and the expeditionary fleet was indeed organized, and the supplies were almost in place, but no one expected that Calgar could actually pull so many Space Marines, which led to a new problem:

The supporting resources were not enough again!

The reason is very simple. The Space Marines are a group. You can't expect them to fill the line like ordinary soldiers. These powerful warriors are responsible for special operations and spearheads. This leads to the need for the Expeditionary Council to recruit more Star Army and resources again!

Calgar was a little surprised to learn of this news, because this means that the High Lords' Council is not here to cheat people this time, but really needs an expedition.

This is really surprising.

But anyway, this is good news, which means that this expedition will be more pure and smoother.

This is good news for the Space Marines, because the victory of this expedition will be greatly increased.

For the citizens of the Empire who lived on the edge of the Jericho region, the arrival of these warriors would simply add to their already heavy taxes.

Anyway, for the civilians of the Empire, no matter how much tax was imposed, it didn't matter, because many people already had nothing.
