Umbrella, The Light of Humanity

For Vulkan and Anakin…

To be honest, Leon completely despises him from the bottom of his heart.

Literally disdainful.

Being young, inexperienced, and the alien being too powerful are all excuses. Isn't he as young as the older generation of Primarchs?

At the beginning, he, Robert, John and others didn't even have psychic powers, so they killed an elementary demon by physical means.

You must know that the elementary demons at that time could be easily destroyed and sacrificed to humans who had just embarked on interstellar voyages.

After reviewing the battle report submitted by Yelena (the man-eating shark artificial intelligence), Leon even wanted to skin Anakin alive.

Those were twenty century-old Terminator veterans, the champions of four battalions, and six thousand Krieg elites, all gone just like that?

How wasteful is this...

But Leon also understood that Anakin and Wokkan had actually done a good job, but he just couldn't stand it (his father was not around and his temper had not calmed down).

Why can the new Primarch get "everything" when he comes up?

Why can we directly enjoy the ready-made human empire without experiencing poverty, hatred and injustice personally?

As for the fact that he arranged for the Night Lords, Luna Wolves, Sons of Man, and the Trapped Legion to serve as bait, did he hope that these new legions could take this opportunity to gain more military exploits and enhance their political status and popular influence within the empire?

Or was it deliberately arranged for these new legions to face the Necrons, suffer the most casualties, and weaken the political capital within the empire?

The original bodies participating in this war meeting, even Volcan and Anakin, will make assumptions based on Leon's words and attitude.

However, there is absolutely no flaw in Leon's attitude and words, as well as the assigned tasks and strategic policies.

Those trapped in the battle belong to local operations. Even if Leon did not mention it, Sui Meng would not be able to abandon his own star sector.

While the Luna Wolves are good at raids, the Sons of Man tend to be all-powerful legions, but their individual combat capabilities are a bit higher than those of the Ultramarines. The Night Lords are also proficient in infiltration and beheading, and are best suited to join the frontal assault of trappers in the war zone. combination.

What's more, Leon has deployed highly mobile White Scars for patrols and guerrillas. Glory Iron Fist and Iron Warriors like to build fortifications, so they are most suitable for defense.

The right to mobilize 550,000 reserve forces was given to Rogge because Rogge was more senior and experienced.

Finally, the Spartans, Dark Angels, and Raven Guard remained.

Although the Raven Guard's primary mission is "reconnaissance," the targets they are responsible for reconnaissance are all unknown planets selected by the Red Queen. It is very likely that the High King of the Necrons exists, and they can be said to bear extremely high risks alone.

The Spartans and Dark Angels are on standby, but they will also act as firefighters while waiting. Wherever support is needed, they will rush there and fill it in as soon as possible.

Moreover, this approach also sends a signal to the empire and the outside world, that is, as a war commander, he would rather give his brothers the opportunity to easily obtain military exploits...

What a wonderful person, right? No one can fault him.

But if you look carefully, it is not difficult to find that the old legion is the actual beneficiary.

If the Necron High King did not take the bait and the seduction plan failed, but the High King was found by the Raven Guard first, wouldn't Corax be the "biggest contributor" to this war?

Or perhaps the High King took the bait in order to prevent the Necrons' kings, overlords, and lords from being wiped out by the four new legions. At that time, Sparta and the Dark Angels, who maintained all their strength, would also face heavy casualties. Decisive battle, and the feat of "one battle determines the outcome."

The Glory Iron Fist, which is responsible for defense and logistics, can preserve its own strength no matter how the war goes. It can also obtain more equipment, supplies, etc. from the empire by holding 550,000 reserves.

In fact, as the original body, Leon has a small mind, but according to the plan he arranged, all legions can participate in it, whether openly or secretly, and can obtain corresponding military exploits and trophies.

Of course, Leon has not forgotten the main purpose of this war, which is to eliminate the Necrons.

Return to the present moment.

Hearing Leon ask them to take Tiberius as their leader, Anakin and Volkan just nodded in response without saying much.

After all, Leon is the Warmaster. Apart from the Emperor, he has the highest command authority during the war. Even other legions that cannot participate in the war, such as the Ultramarines, need to cooperate as much as possible.

However, Anakin's eyes flashed with imperceptible loss and unwillingness.

Even though he was a minor, with the insight of the original body, Anakin understood that he was labeled as "what a waste" by Leon.

However, it turned out to be like "waste", and the assault force he led was wiped out except for him. Therefore, Anakin had to endure and shut up, waiting for the opportunity to prove that he was not as unsightly as the Warmaster thought.

Seeing that the two youngest brothers had no complaints, at least on the surface, Leon nodded with satisfaction, and then continued:

"At present, the White Scars and Dark Angels have already completed their assembly due to the favorable location, and the remaining legions immediately followed the plan made by me after entering Universe 03 through the space gate of the border fortress.

For legions that do not need to engage in battle, please evacuate the Trapped Star Zone immediately. As for those that need to engage in combat, please immediately assist the Trapped Ones to stabilize the situation and clear out the undead tombs on the colonial star as much as possible, and then carry out the seduction plan.

Okay, let's break up the meeting. "

After that, Leon ended the holographic imaging directly.

Followed by John, Rogge and Corax, and then the remaining new primarchs looked at each other, and finally dissipated their respective holographic images one by one.

However, most of the new primarchs did not notice that Horus hesitated to speak for a moment, but it was quickly covered up.

End of the meeting.

As the center console returned to its original state, Sui Meng was no longer as motionless as a sculpture. Instead, he called up more battle reports and information and displayed them on the center console for reading.

However, the original body, whose combat power was at the top of the list, was thinking about how to assign the battalion headquarters to be responsible for which space regions and which planets. At the same time, he was also thinking about the details of the meeting.

He has a deep relationship with the new Primarchs, just like the first Primarchs such as Robert, John, and Leon, who shared a common childhood and received personal teachings from his father, Rebecca, and Alexia.

Sui Meng happened to be standing opposite Horus, which also meant that he was the first and the only one to notice Horus' fleeting microexpression.

Just like the "iron buddies" relationship between John and Robert, the same is true between Sui Meng and Horus. He knew that Horus originally wanted to open his mouth to encourage people, so that the brothers (freshmen) should not worry and do their best, but On second thought, Horus felt that it was inappropriate to say such a thing.

After all, Leon's attitude is there.

After a while of silence, Sui Meng gave an order to Ban Zhao, who was standing silently in the corner of the center console:

"Inform the battalions with jurisdictions and colonies to hold their positions. Support is on the way. At the same time, notify the 45th, 46th, and 47th battalions to form a temporary ship to go to the 012 space area, so that they must arrive within half an Earth day. Notify the 52nd , 58th, 59th Battalion Headquarters...

…”

After giving instructions for nearly five minutes, Sui Meng turned his attention to Ban Zhao and continued:

"Help me inform Sui Wu that the situation in Charonta has been stabilized. Let him and his 36th Battalion act together with the Man-Eating Shark Battalion. Also, let Sui Wu follow the advice of the two new Primarchs as much as possible, and finally The main thing is to cooperate with both of them as much as possible.”

"yes."

Upon hearing this, Ban Zhao immediately conveyed the instructions to the 36th Battalion.

After a while, Ban Zhao replied to Sui Meng: "Sir, Battalion Commander Sui Wu is asking for the reason. After all, the order given by the War Commander is for the original bodies Anakin and Volkan to obey the command of the man-eating shark."

"After all, he is a young man and may come up with some interesting ideas." As he spoke, Sui Meng added: "Tell him that what I said was not a suggestion, but an order."

"yes."

Ban Zhao continued to convey the original body's instructions.

As for why Sui Meng did this, he simply felt that the two youngest brothers needed to be taken care of...

No more, that’s all.

As the original body, although he may be weaker than Robert and Horus in the political field, he is definitely far stronger than ordinary people. Sui Meng knew that his actions could win the favor of Anakin and Volkan.

Just imagine, you were ridiculed in public by an older brother you have never met, and then an older brother who is also famous for being cold and cold gives you enough trust (gives you a certain degree of command) in private, especially if the person involved is not yet an adult. In this case, the favorability and dependence will skyrocket.

However, Sui Meng did not do it to build a relationship between the original bodies. On the one hand, he took care of his brothers' emotions, and secondly, he used it to express some dissatisfaction to the war commander.

"Ban Zhao." Thinking of this, Sui Meng asked: "The planet with the most severe fighting situation at present is Pastoral. If we build a model based on Pastoral and apply it to the entire star sector, it will last for another Earth month...

How many people are left in our army? "

The Trappers were founded less than a hundred years ago, but the Trappers and all the new legions caught up with the establishment of the Human Empire and the period of ultra-rapid technological and economic development, so their scale also expanded rapidly.

Regardless of whether the trappers are still undergoing trials in other universes or are called up as reserves, there are currently 144 official battalions, and each battalion has approximately 500-700 trappers. This means that the entire legion has nearly One hundred thousand Astartes.

Normally, an Astartes will be assisted by 5-7 auxiliary troops, and a battalion also has an auxiliary assault group of 3,000-5,000 people, and the Trappers are no exception, so the auxiliary force of the entire legion The number of soldiers is approximately 570,000.

Of course, each battalion is not only composed of Astartes and auxiliary troops, but also a considerable number of marines, hell paratroopers, engineering departments (oil guys), technical, aircrew and ground crews, etc.

Therefore, the total number of battalions of a legion is between 700,000 and 1.7 million.

For example, the Imperial Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Krydoug in each colony and space domain are considered auxiliary units. Although their expenses are controlled by the Legion, they are only directly incorporated into the Legion during wartime.

However, more often than not, it depends on the local economic situation and whether these affiliated units are "rich or poor". In any case, no matter which legion, the size of the affiliated units is always calculated in "100 million".

As soon as Sui Meng finished speaking, Ban Zhao gave the answer: "The remaining number of Astartes is 11,742, and the remaining number of auxiliary troops is 91,445. This value depends on the calculation of Pastoral's mathematical model, and the error is relatively large.

If the number of people in the entire battalion headquarters and affiliated units is included..."

"No need to say anything." Sui Meng raised his hand to interrupt Ban Zhao's report.

11742.

91445,

This is equivalent to the legion's combat strength shrinking by about 85%.

Even if the pastoral model with the most severe battle situation is used, if one really plans for the worst outcome, then those trapped in the battle will definitely be severely damaged.

Are the Night Lords, Luna Wolves, and Children of Men joining the fight?

At most, it is to ensure that it does not shrink to the extreme ending of 85%.

Thinking that his "heirs" would die in the tens of thousands, or even tens of thousands, Sui Meng's already cold face became even more gloomy.

Everyone knows the truth. Those who are trapped cannot and are not allowed to leave their own star sector, and they need to be responsible for the seduction plan. These are very correct decisions.

It's just that this gloomy and unhappy energy is not all dissatisfaction with the Warmaster, but the inevitable casualties.

After a moment of slowing down, Sui Meng's face and demeanor returned to their original state, then he raised his right hand, picked up the Blood Dragon Blade again, and directly started the short-distance teleportation.

"."

Looking at the dissipating light group, even Ban Zhao, who was speechless, understood that the original body was preparing to pour out its anger on the soulless Necron.

Next.

Everything was going according to Leon's plan. After passing through the space gate, the main forces of the three legions, the Night Lords, the Moon Wolves, and the Sons of Man, dispersed directly into the Trapper Sector.

Glory Iron Fist and Iron Warriors used their proud engineering department to start construction work at strategic locations on the edge of the star sector.

The White Scars are "riding", the Raven Guard is "searching", and the Spartans and the Dark Angels are waiting in the solar system of Universe 03 and the Orion cantilever range to ensure that while acting as firefighters, they must also beware of the Necron. He will charge towards Earth Zero-3 (the capital of the universe) like a convulsion.

Everything seems to be in order.

at the same time……

In a different space...

"Wu-wu--~!"

"Huh——~!"

The most appropriate way to describe this place is the howling of ghosts and wolves. I don’t know if it’s the sound of the wind or the wailing of creatures from another space.

I saw that the sky here was "bright", but the sky was exuding a coquettish light purple light.

An island with an area of ​​about 660,000 square kilometers is located in the center of a lake that also reflects deep purple. There are many "artistic" palaces, gardens and other luxurious buildings on the island.

Just looking at the appearance and style of this place, it is not difficult to guess that this is the realm of a great demon related to Slaanesh, or a "wild" demon realm that likes different extreme emotions and desires.

but…

The previous cries of ghosts and wolf howls did not originate from activities such as skinning alive, extreme sexual desire, and nail-piercing. The real source seemed to be the owners of this domain who could not stop shivering out of fear of certain things.

Zoom in.

Entering this strange and luxurious garden, you can see countless demons, banshees and other alien space creatures running away like crazy.

What chased them was a group of "big gray guys" wearing Aegis Terminators, and a man of average height...

"Macho Man".
