Protoss in Warhammer

Chapter 309 297. Charon Expedition
After Gray Nettat left, he immediately contacted his troops. He will not go out on his own in this operation.This time it is not like a special operation like in Blackstone Fortress, but it may be a big battle with an entire forging world. In this way, the fighting intensity will be much higher.

Without a powerful fleet as a shield, the result can be imagined. His purpose will never be achieved, and the fragment will fall into the hands of the Mechanicus forever.

Although Gray himself has a huge fleet, he has no intention of pulling out such an ace fleet for battle.

Unlike the other so-called Ancient Saint navies, this huge private fleet only obeys Gray's orders. They are the Forbidden Army of the Ancient Saints. Most of the actual command rights of other armies are divided between the Parliament and their generals. .The Imperial Guard of the Old Ones is undoubtedly one of the most powerful armies in the entire Eastern Galaxy, capable of defending more than 200 planets centered on Aiur.

The reason why Gray does not intend to fully activate such a fleet is very simple, because their main goal is to protect the entire Great El area and prevent the five evil gods in the subspace from doing something strange when they are not around.Moreover, this trump card must always be kept, and Gray must keep his power throughout the Ayr region to maintain his influence.

This is not a sign of uneasiness or vigilance against Aldaris, but rather a warning against the dissatisfaction of certain parliamentarians and leaders of political factions.They are not enemies, but they have some small thoughts. It is best to prevent them from having such small thoughts.

Aldarius quickly got his propaganda machine going and informed the sect as well.Soon, with the vigorous propaganda of the Supreme Chancellor's conservative faction and religious factions, the tone of this war has been set:

The conservatives claim that this is an invasion of the empire's territory by the Mechanicum. They have taken away the remains of the former gods. This is a trample on the dignity of the country. They must fight back to protect the common dignity and property of the Kalai race and all races in the empire.The religious sect directly claimed that this was a holy war. They called on all races to make donations so that the army of the ancient saints could be ready to attack those backward and superstitious technological shamans, recapture the remains of the gods, and protect the purity of their faith.

When Gray saw the news report, he couldn't help but laugh at himself:

"Who could have imagined that one day religious belief would become essential to our race?"

Faith, religion, superstition.Sometimes you have to lament that these things are very useful, because in some cases, it will become the few things in common among a group, and it is also the best healer for pain.

War costs money, and Kale doesn't have the ability to make people angry every time like the expeditions launched by the human empire, and at the same time, he himself is fine.There is no way, who wants it? The old foundation of the Golden Humans and the Emperor during the Golden Age and the Great Crusade is really too strong. No matter how the wastes and maggots of the High Lords Council spend it, it can still stand proudly above the stars. .

Therefore, Gray is doing his best to avoid war, not only to reduce the internal friction in the so-called Order camp, but also to find ways to reduce Kalai's internal expenses so that he can be prepared for the inevitable war in the fable hundreds of years later.But in a galaxy filled with war, where is peace?Karai actually has a war breaking out every week, on the long border of the empire, with the Human Empire, the Orcs, the Tyranids, the Eldar pirates, and even those unnamed alien races. conflict.If it had been neutral in the past, I am afraid that there would have been an uproar in the country because of this situation.But the ancient saints appeared, and the old gods returned to his people. Religious fanaticism erased the damage and pain caused by the war. More and more people believed that in such wars, for The Old Ones and Galactic Peace.The more reason is that the opponents they are fighting are indeed a bit too cruel, which makes their impression even more profound, and they believe that this kind of war brings freedom and liberation.

Under the call for freedom and liberation, the people worked bravely. They learned from the propaganda what the Mechanicum did: turning living people into mechanical slaves without thoughts and feelings, disregarding life, believing in stupid technological shamans, etc. Wait, all the most ordinary darkness in this galaxy is unreasonable in their eyes. In their eyes, everything must be modified and corrected to restore the order and light of hundreds of millions of years ago.

Under this concept, the army was formed, with 4 mother ships, 14 aircraft carriers, 56 auxiliary battleships, and of course, the most terrifying amphibious landing ship the Ancient Sage.

In fact, if you just want to deal with a forging world, you don't have to spend so much effort at all. The main thing is the soul fragment. I don't know what the fragment became after being beaten by Kelarion. Don't get a Karai in the end. The Protoss version of the C'tan shard.What's even more terrible is that the ripples in the subspace have begun to stir violently, and the Chaos Gods who have smelled it have begun to take action. They must be prepared for a two-front battle.That's why he needed such a huge army to deal with all these problems and win victory.

And the arrival of the amphibious landing ship also has another benefit, because this thing is also a mobile dock. For example, the aircraft carrier and part of the mother ship can be docked directly inside the amphibious landing ship.After all, this voyage in the Webway will take no less than five months. Due to the fluctuations in the sea of ​​souls in the subspace, even the web.The road is also affected, so the journey will be longer than originally expected. It will be safer for the battleship to be placed in the mother ship.

If they suffer terrible losses on the battlefield, they can even build four aircraft carriers or one medium-sized carrier directly in the shipyard in the belly of the ship, relying on the parts inside, which can directly play a key role in the direction of the war.

Therefore, the amphibious landing ship is like a space castle that can prepare for the long-term tug-of-war that it may face in the future.After all, millions of soldiers can be stored in it. If it is really used up, the expeditionary force will be worthy of the Forge World and possible imperial reinforcements and the forces of Chaos.

After feeling that he was fully prepared, Gray also began to arrange his plan to leave the underground facility and stop the large-scale search for books. Erda and Marcus would try not to leave Al. Phoenix's imperial army would begin daily patrols after entering the underground. , to prevent accidents.

The shining blue sun appears again in the sky of Aiur, and the huge fleet will cross tens of thousands of lights and come to the Obscure Star Territory to seize their inheritance.

So in m41 938, the Charon Expedition began.
