Warhammer III

A month later, the planetary governors of the Nachmond sub-sector came to the parliament hall of the Red Earth with their advisory groups. The planetary governors who could not attend sent representatives to attend the meeting, and the planetary governors who had not arrived here could only attend the meeting through the astropathic live broadcast.

The theme of this meeting was the mobilization of the Tiamat expedition, summoning the elite planetary defense forces of various planets to go to the dark side of the empire to destroy the Tiamat hive fleet and the psychic lighthouse, which required a large number of ground troops to fight against the Tyranids.

"God Emperor, Lord, the hive fleet of the dark side of the empire is too far away from us. Should we recruit troops from the worlds around the aliens? That would be more reasonable."

Horace, the planetary governor of the industrial world Esu, mustered up the courage to speak out his thoughts.

"We should indeed recruit troops nearby."

"If we go, the distance is too far and the logistics are not guaranteed."

"The Star Army from all over the world should participate in this expedition!"

"It is also a big problem that the Planetary Defense Force has no combat experience against the Tyranids."

Other planetary governors who questioned this operation echoed that although Tai Yue saved the Nachmond sub-sector from the threat of Chaos, most people do not support this expedition in their hearts to let everyone fight against the Tyranid Hive Fleet at the other end of the galaxy.

Tai Yue had discussed these issues in advance with the leadership of the Ninth Brotherhood, and he explained the doubts of the planetary governors one by one.

"Emperor, the entire galaxy will face the threat of the Tyranids. Although we are in the Nebulous Star Region, we are not immune. Inquisitor Kryptman of the Inquisition has already gone to the dark side of the Empire. He will summon the Astra Militarum and Astartes of the dark side of the Empire. We are not alone."

"This expedition is not only to purify the aliens for the Empire and the Emperor, but also to accumulate strength for the entire star region. The victory of the Darova expedition gave us the capital to establish the Nachmond Fleet, and this expedition is no exception. After the victory of the expedition, I will grant the warriors who return here the right to form the Nachmond Guard, which is similar to the Astra Militarum Corps. The main task is to protect the safety of the entire star region. . "

"The newly transformed forge world Hellik III will give priority to providing weapons and ground vehicles to the expeditionary force. We will be equipped with the most advanced weapons to fight against the alien enemies. "

"The expeditionary force will be stationed on the Blackstone Fortress. On the way to the dark side of the empire, they will receive targeted training against the Tyranids. Now I have sent the Astartes of the Ninth Brotherhood to the Watch Fortress to learn. After they have mastered the experience of dealing with the Tyranids, they will train the defense forces participating in this expedition. "

In Taiyue's plan, another purpose of this expedition is to select loyal and powerful mortal warriors. They will become seeds to cultivate more imperial residents to fight against the Tyranids.

After Taiyue finished speaking, the venue fell into silence. Partridge, the new planetary governor of Chidi, stood up and said loudly:

"For the Emperor, for Lord Taiyue, and for the Nachmond Sector, I will fully support the Tiamat Expedition!"

Other planetary governors also began to express their support for this expedition, and then discussed the specific details of the conscription.

After three days of discussion, the selection criteria, faith review, physical fitness test, organization formation, publicity and recruitment of the expeditionary force were determined.

After the meeting, the planetary governors returned to their respective territories under the escort of the Nachmund fleet. They began to publicize and mobilize the Tiamat expedition in the worlds they ruled.

Tai Yue personally went to three worlds, and the troops in these worlds were the absolute main force of this expedition.

The first stop was the Knight World of Okomia. After the Knights led by the Supreme King Okomier followed the Ninth Brotherhood to win the Darova Expedition, Tai Yue and Sisela purified and repaired the damaged Chaos Knight Titans and provided them to the Supreme King Okomier, further enhancing the power of the Knight World of Okomia.

Baron Lancelot of Okomia will bring half of the Knight Titans, about fifty Knight Titans, to participate in the Tiamat expedition. After returning victorious from this expedition, the young baron will become the new Supreme King.

The second stop is the Sentinel World of Nonavore. As a star army directly under the Ministry of Military Affairs, the Nonavore Iron Guard is responsible for guarding the safety of the Nahmond Corridor and dispatched one-third of its armored forces to participate in this expedition.

The third stop is the new forge world Herik III. The Great Sage Caul took over this forge world. He is the forge general here, and Dela became the forge deputy supervisor of the new forge world. She will lead a macro branch (four battalions, twelve squadrons) of the Crusaders to participate in the expedition as the ruling sage.

In order to ensure that there is sufficient ammunition for this expedition, weapons and vehicles combined with alien technology are being produced day and night, and then transported to the Tianyuanfang Black Stone Fortress.

Half a year later, the Tianyuanfang Black Stone Fortress left the Red Earth Star with 20 warships, and millions of planetary defense forces from different worlds began training.

The Blackstone Fortress entered the Dark Side of the Empire through the Nachmond Corridor. Since the Dark Side of the Empire no longer had the Star Torch navigation, the navigator Yin Lishabai could only let the Blackstone Fortress sail a short distance, then jump out of the subspace, compare the position of the real world, and then sail for the next short distance.

The Astronomican Singing Class received chaotic Astronomican signals one after another, and it was unknown whether it was a demon trap or a distorted Astronomican information.

"The Anthem Engine used for navigation in the Dark Side of the Empire has been destroyed by the demon primarch Angron, and the Fourth Fleet of the Indomitable Crusade has also been corrupted by Chaos. It is easy to encounter Chaos Fleets when sailing over such a short distance."

Jerome, who was at the command center of the Blackstone Fortress, said worriedly. With the failure of the Fourth Fleet of the Indomitable Crusade, the Fourth Fleet, which had become a Chaos Fleet, had been removed from the Empire's records. The Dark Side of the Empire had not yet been reunited, and countless Imperial worlds had once again fallen into the same despair as the Dark Technology Age.

"According to the records of the Inquisition, the psychic energy generated by the Tiamat Psychic Lighthouse distorted a large range of space. I may be able to sense its projection in the subspace."

Tai Yue also realized this problem. He decided to use psychic energy to sense the location of the Tiamat Psychic Lighthouse. If successful, he would share the location information with Yin Lishabe, and maybe he could sail directly to the Tiamat galaxy.

(The timeline of the Dark Side of the Empire in this book is set at the end of the second part of the official novel Ark of Doom, after Angron destroyed Malak Bell and the Anthem Engine, and before the Lion King awakens. This is also the timeline after the Indomitable Crusade.)
