Warhammer III
Chapter 52: The Cross Blade Fleet and Guerrilla Tactics
When Taiyue and others arrived at the conference room, a three-meter-tall Death Watch captain stood outside the conference room to take charge of the meeting's security. The cross on his right shoulder armor indicated that he was from the Black Temple.
The Death Watch stopped Taiyue and others and said in a routine manner:
"Only one commander from each regiment is allowed to attend the meeting. Unrelated personnel please wait outside the conference room!"
The familiar voice made Taiyue stunned. He couldn't help but think of his brother Porter, who had never seen each other again after being taken away by the Lord of the Black Temple in Marsdan.
This is a very normal thing. On the one hand, the selection of Space Marines is one in ten thousand, and the process of implanting gene seeds will also eliminate a large number of candidates. Porter may not successfully become an Astartes of the Black Temple.
On the other hand, even if Porter successfully became a recruit of the Black Temple, he would most likely follow the expeditionary warship of the regiment to sail in a corner of the galaxy, and the probability of meeting Taiyue is almost zero.
"This is Master Taiyue of the Grey Knights and Inquisitor Sisela. The three of us will attend this meeting."
Inquisitor Kriptman personally stepped forward to introduce, and the captain of the Watch then made way for the entrance to the meeting.
Taiyue thought for a moment and shook his head. He did not ask the captain of the Watch to take off his helmet to see if the other party was his childhood brother. He and Sisela walked into the meeting room together, leaving Nelson and Jerome outside the meeting room.
There were other Astartes of the Primaris Space Marines outside the meeting room. They were all exchanging information about the two split fleets of Leviathan, and some Astartes also began to spar with each other in martial arts.
The activity track of the Nautilus Hive Fleet was projected on the round table in the conference room. The Astartes participants in front of the table were sitting or standing:
The Rift Lords Chapter, Chapter Master Bastien had a blank expression, staring at the projection meticulously, as serious as a statue;
The Necromancer Falcons Chapter, Chapter Master Lakiron frowned, looking serious and thoughtful, frowning from time to time;
The Void Trident Chapter, Chapter Master Theodore crossed his hands in front of him, looking embarrassed;
The Heroic Blades Chapter, Chapter Master Lucas listened attentively to the audio received by the servo head beside him;
The Storm is gathering The Reaper Chapter, Chapter Master Hadanbaatar looked tired, staring at the table, not knowing what he was thinking;
The Roaring Chapter, Chapter Master Oliver had cold and dull eyes, making it hard to understand;
The Wolf Spear Chapter, Chapter Master Hank was calm and stroked his beard from time to time;
The Phoenix Son Chapter, Chapter Master Badron turned around and looked at the newcomers after hearing the footsteps;
These participants were all members of the temporary fleet ‘Crossblade’, a small rapid response fleet used to harass and guard the Leviathan Tentacle Nautilus and Prometheus Hive Fleet in the Pacific Star Region.
When the Imperial forces discovered that the two split fleets posed a threat, it would take a long time to mobilize the Imperial forces on a large scale, and there was no time to deal with the crisis. The Third Fleet of the Indomitable Expedition had not yet reassembled, so some Astra Chapters formed the ‘Crossblade’ fleet first.
The ‘Crossblade’ fleet acted alone as a chapter, sharing intelligence and going deep into the activity area of the Hive Fleet.
They attacked and retreated quickly like multiple sharp blades. When they had an advantage, they destroyed one or two Hive ships, and evacuated immediately when they were at risk of being surrounded by the Hive Fleet.
The ‘Interlaced Blades’ fleet slowed down the advance of the Hive Fleet to a certain extent through guerrilla warfare. Now the Third Fleet has regrouped in the Storm Star Field and started to attack the Hive Fleet Prometho.
Tai Yue scanned the people in the meeting hall at this moment. Most of the participants were strangers. He only knew a few of them, such as Hadan Batel, the commander of the Storm Reapers, who had met in the Wizard Star, and Bastian, the commander of the Rift Lord, who had met during the Darova Expedition.
“You two should join the meeting too.”
Inquisitor Kliptman invited Tai Yue and Sisela, and then he went to the side of the Watch Master Astoron. The general person in charge of intercepting the Hive Fleet Nautilus was the Watch Master Astoron, and Inquisitor Kliptman was responsible for assisting him.
After Tai Yue and Sisela took their seats, this combat meeting officially began.
Master Astoron swept through the venue, and after confirming that all the participants were present, he went straight to the topic of the meeting:
"The Third Fleet is the main force against the Leviathan Hive Fleet. Our mission is to delay the Hive Fleet Nautilus. After the Third Fleet annihilates the Hive Fleet Promethos, they will join us in annihilating the Hive Fleet Nautilus."
"What are the specific mission objectives?"
The Rift Lord Chapter Leader Bastian asked.
"There are two mission objectives. The first mission objective is to prevent the Nautilus tentacles from supporting the Promethos tentacles during the Third Fleet's attack on the Promethos tentacles. The second mission objective is to prevent the Nautilus tentacles from entering the Solar Sector!"
"Does the Third Fleet have the ability to deal with the Promethos tentacles? The Second Fleet of the same size was defeated by the Chaos Fleet long ago."
Theodore, the Void Trident Chapter Leader, questioned. He then glanced at Tai Yue, who killed the World Reaper Haken. The World Reaper Haken also participated in the operation to defeat the Second Fleet.
The destination of the Second Fleet of the Indomitable Crusade is the Eye of Terror in the Hazy Star Region. Their purpose is to contain the Chaos Fleet and create favorable conditions for the expeditions of other fleets.
After the Third Fleet set out, the Second Fleet set out immediately. They attracted the attention of the Chaos Fleet in the Hazy Star Region. After that, the Imperial Forces won the Battle of the Vigilant Star, and the First Fleet successfully passed through the Nachmond Corridor and entered the Dark Side of the Empire to carry out the Indomitable Expedition.
After that, there was the Nachmond Rift War. The Second Fleet was defeated by the Chaos Fleet in the early stages of the Rift War. The Void Trident Chapter Leader Theod supported the Second Fleet during this period and had a little understanding of the strength of the expedition fleet.
"This time, the Third Fleet is a reassembled force. It not only includes the original Indomitable Expedition Third Fleet, but also most of the fleets of the Imperial Holy Frontier. The addition of new warships makes the Third Fleet much stronger than before!"
Watch Master Astoron explained that there were more than a dozen Astartes Chapters, the Battle Sisters of the Ebony Holy Grail Sisters, the Silver Shroud Sisters and the Holy Rose Sisters, as well as the support of multiple Knight Families and dozens of Star Legions in the battle against the Prometheus Tentacles.
This also means that if the Hive Fleet cannot be defeated this time, the Hive Fleet will enter the heart of the Solar Segment and directly threaten Holy Terra.
After the meeting, the heads of each chapter also shared their guerrilla warfare experience and summarized the combat strategy:
When the Tyranid Fleet attacks, we retreat in time; when the Tyranid Fleet is dormant, we land inside to sabotage; when the Tyranid Fleet eats, we destroy biomass; when the Tyranid Fleet disperses, we try our best to defeat the weak tendrils.
After the meeting, Tai Yue led the Nachmond Fleet to the Vinor System. The Ninth Brotherhood will defend the Hive World Capre. If this world is swallowed by the Hive Fleet Nautilus, the Hive Fleet will replenish a large amount of biomass, and the results of the guerrilla warfare of the Interlaced Blade Fleet will be meaningless.
(Because the official book is eaten, many major events are confused, such as the timeline of the Indomitable Crusade and the Plague War has been changed. This book tries to write these backgrounds clearly, and spoilers in advance————
In this volume, the Dark Angels Primarch Lion King Ryan will wake up, asking for monthly tickets and recommendation tickets!)
