Warhammer III

After the military meeting, the Astartes of the Ninth Brotherhood became busy. While conducting regular training, they checked their weapons and ground combat vehicles to ensure that they could respond to the enemy in the best condition when the call for battle sounded.

In addition to the Ninth Brotherhood, other Imperial forces also conducted training on the Blackstone Fortress. The space inside the fortress is large enough for tanks, armor, and even Knight Titans to pass freely.

In order to carry out actual combat exercises and improve combat capabilities, the unknown areas of Blackstone Fortress are open to imperial troops. Each force can apply to go to the unknown areas to annihilate all kinds of aliens hiding in the dark.

Taiyue, Sissela and Della held a technical meeting in the command center to discuss how to deal with the planet Herik III and the surviving imperial residents on it.

"Is this planet suitable for transformation into a Forge World?"

Taiyue sat at the conference table, clicked on the three-dimensional map of the Nachmond Corridor, and asked straight to the point.

To maintain the long-term security of the Nachmund Corridor, weapons and fleets are essential, and these require the support of a forge world, preferably one within the Nachmund Corridor.

Della reached out and flipped the three-dimensional map, zoomed in on the image of Herrick III, and fell into deep thought.

After thinking for a moment, she gave the evaluation result:

In terms of resources: Herrick III lacks mineral resources, but the gaseous planets on the periphery of the galaxy have metal cores that can be collected, making up for the shortcomings of the planet itself.

In terms of subspace stability: The planet is located inside the Nachmund Corridor and is surrounded by a large rift. The subspace tidal station located at the Lagrange point is now activated, which can stabilize the subspace of the entire galaxy and ensure the safety of the planet.

In terms of production capacity: The Red Earth Star and the Vigilant Star on both sides of the Nachmund Corridor are important fortress worlds of the empire. They serve as the front line against Chaos all year round. The weapons and vehicles they produce can supply the surrounding worlds.

Administrative aspect: This planet was originally classified as a hive world of the Empire. After the warp tide swallowed the planet, it was reclassified as a death world. The Ninth Brotherhood now regains control of the planet and has the right to use it.

Speaking of which, Della finally gave a conclusion:

"In conclusion, as mentioned above, Planet Herik III has the conditions to be transformed into a forge world. However, in order to transform this planet into a forge world, it needs the approval of the Adeptus Mechanicus. The initial investment in equipment and facilities on the planet also requires casting. Only high-level support at the level of director or great sage will do.”

"How to apply specifically? Go to the Ministry of Military Affairs and submit an application to the Adeptus Mechanicus on Mars? Or does anyone know the High Lord of Terra and ask the people above to help us connect."

Sisela on the side asked doubtfully, as she did not know much about the current situation within the empire.

"In this case, it is estimated that it will take a hundred years to wait for approval. I suggest that after the Davaro expedition, contact the planetary governor in the Nachmund Corridor and submit an application to Lord Guilliman to explain the importance and urgency of transforming the Forge World."

Taiyue directly vetoed it. Regardless of whether the Davaro expedition was successful or not, the Nachmund Corridor was the focus of competition between Chaos and the Empire. It needed support from the Forge World as soon as possible. All of this was inseparable from the Imperial Regent. Lord Guilliman's support.

"Your Majesty the God Emperor, let me coordinate this matter from now on."

Sisera took the initiative to take on this task. As the former Dragon Guard who guarded the Labyrinth of Night for ten thousand years, the Imperial Regent Guilliman will also consider her opinions.

After the problem was solved, Della continued:

"The initial investment in planetary equipment and facilities requires the support of the foundry director or the great sage, which will involve the exchange of interests. We currently have two STC templates, one is a memory expansion component, which is an auxiliary brain device and is equipped with AI data silence; the second is subspace The engine variant equipment is a subspace energy mutagenesis device and is equipped with AI data deletion.

In order to build a foundry for the production of psychic weapons on Blackstone Fortress, we have provided the STC template of the subspace energy mutagenesis device to Archsage Caul. The only bargaining chip in hand is the STC template of the memory expansion component. "

"The memory expansion component will be used for research on infiltrating the Genestealer Order. It will not be handed over to others. Let's discuss the second topic."

Tai Yue knew that it was not easy to establish a forging world in a short period of time. He ended the discussion and entered the second discussion topic, how to deal with the inhabitants of the planet.

Most of the Imperial inhabitants of Helic III became criminals during the rule of the Night Lords warband, and even served as puppet troops of the warband to aid the enemies of Chaos.

The Emperor's blessing was that there were still a few who did not succumb to the warp and the Chaos warbands. They remained loyal to the emperor, and they even organized loyalists to maintain order in the city after the warp tide disappeared and the Chaos warbands left.

According to the Inquisition's practice, this planet assisted Chaos, and all residents could be directly executed. Considering the subsequent transformation plan of this planet, their fate has changed.

The final result of the discussion was to select 3,000 loyalists as servants of the war group to directly serve the Ninth Brotherhood and Blackstone Fortress. The last servants recruited by the Ninth Brotherhood were selected from the bishop's world where Cardinal Catherine is located. Yes, with the increase in the number of battleships, there is a serious shortage of manpower.

The rest were all transformed into servitors to eliminate the possibility of Chaos corruption and serve as a labor reserve for the Forge World.

Thai Yue gave the task of recruiting servants to the recruits and battle sisters of the Ninth Brotherhood. They had to carefully select suitable personnel. It would be a supreme honor for the servants who successfully joined the Blackstone Fortress.

The task of catching criminals was given to the Paladin Sentinel Regiment. Political Commissar Saroyan led the troops to the surface to capture people and brought them back to the foundry in the Blackstone Fortress for transformation.

Soon after, the newly recruited servants of the warband came to the Blackstone Fortress. They did not fall under the influence of the warp tide and showed warp resistance. This is the most important point to become the servants of the Ninth Brotherhood. They are still loyal to the Empire in the face of the threat of the Midnight Lords War Gang, and now they will also be loyal to the Ninth Brotherhood.

The relevant training of the warband servants was carried out one after another. Those who had experience in entering the factory became artisan servants who assisted technical sergeants in maintaining machinery, those who had contact with medical care became medical servants who assisted pharmacists in managing gene seeds, those with cooking skills became logistics servants, those who had experience in fighting against the puppet army became armed servants, and those who had no experience naturally became labor servants.

During this period, Tai Yue stayed in the command center, and the astropath Su Jingrong beside him reported the situation of the expedition fleet at any time.

"Grand Master, the advance fleet of the Imperial Navy has entered the Davaro system."

Su Jingrong just received the encrypted astropathic signal sent by the expedition fleet. Tai Yue stood up immediately after hearing it. He knew that the battle for Davaro had begun!
