Chapter 39: When you are not a family, you don’t know how expensive oil and salt are
In fact, it is easy to understand why Fujimaru Ritsuka only thought of asking the Dark Angel for the Night Lord prisoners at the first time, instead of realizing that she could actually collect the entire ship together.

Putting aside the impact of her own personality, there are also the problems that will arise when two incompatible departments work together.From the perspective of disastrous interpersonal relationships, Fujimaru Ritsuka has never seen anything like this.Coupled with the experience she gained from commanding legions in illusions, she is already aware of problems that may arise in the future, such as incompatible chains of command, mutual backstabbing, over-the-top support, and back-stabbing.

The real trouble she subconsciously wanted to avoid by avoiding taking over the entire Lion's Mane was actually the Lion's Mane itself:
An Imperial ship—a battle barge commanded by the Astartes during the Great Crusade, a Gladius-class light cruiser that had not yet had its firepower reduced by the Codex Astartes—required a lot of maintenance. resources and time, and at least one military port with technology and production capacity that can keep up.Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't conjure these things out of her Storm Frontier, which looked not much bigger than a jumping torpedo.

What's more, this kind of old object, which was popular during the Great Crusade and has been discontinued for various reasons, is not sure whether it can be successfully opened again if it is really opened in a forging world.

The current Jestal is a civilized world with a medium-sized airport and corresponding supporting equipment and personnel.Thanks to the excellent standardization and compatibility of Imperial technology (in other words, not only has there not been much progress or even a slight regression in the past 1 years), the Lion's Mane can be inspected and maintained here. It is suitable for any Imperial ship that can conduct subspace navigation. Let's talk about the most critical parts: the subspace engine and the Geller force field, and then we can sort out the corner issues such as the sealing of the ship's hull and cabins.But as for the weapons system, the civilian port is helpless and can only pray that the redundancy of the system itself is enough to allow the Lion's Mane to continue to operate normally.

——The very desperate thing is that there are no technical sergeants left on the Dark Angel's ship, not even the members of the Iron Wings, not a single one!
This cannot be said to be a problem with personnel arrangements: when the Lion's Mane set off, there were a total of 220 Space Marines on board, and an appropriate number of technical sergeants were indeed deployed in proportion.But unfortunately, in the process of encountering the subspace storm, 92 people unfortunately died in some accidents and conflicts that ordinary people could not explain - including all technical personnel.

In other words, only counting the Space Marines, there are currently 120 Dark Angels on the Lion's Mane, as well as 45 Night Lords who are still alive under escort.Including the 18 people on board the Stormbound, they could barely make up the number of two Codex companies.

Some Lanmarok didn't say it clearly, but the fact that Fujimaru Ritsuka understood from various clues was that the order the Lion's Mane carried when leaving the fleet was to "escort the prisoners of the Night Lord back to Caliban", and in this After the mission is successfully completed, the next mission is to "bring some new blood from Caliban back to the battlefield."

Considering that this team is led by the Firewing Grand Master, and the remaining members should normally be equipped with some Ravenwings and Stormwings, a Dreadwing Captain can appear out of nowhere. Fujimaru Ritsuka can even guess , on the return journey, the speaker of this ship will be the decorated Terran veteran, and the Space Marines on board will form a large company of Dreadwings.Ranmarok didn't show her the specific configuration of the Lion's Mane and the various equipment it carried. If more detailed information could be known, perhaps Fujimaru Ritsuka's guess would be more accurate.

It's a pity that the relationship between the two parties is not that close yet.The Dark Angels have always been known for the suspicious character they inherited from their genetic father. Fujimaru Ritsuka is very clear that her current relationship with any crew member on the Lion's Mane is far from trustworthy.The relationship between the two is only an extremely unstable cooperative relationship based on some external forces such as force of the situation and mutual benefit. It is hard to say that Lan Malok will have some brains to think about how to deal with Fujimaru Ritsuka when he sleeps. After collecting all the information she had promised, she was given a sword, and finally she took the entire ship away.

——This does not prevent Ritsuka Fujimaru from taking preemptive strikes and commanding as much as possible when he can.She gave the specific coordinates measured on the Stormbound and directly asked the Dreadwing Captain Zantik Afoppa to lead a team to the surface of Jestal and blow up the Eldar Webway Gate. .The advantage of having more people is that she can hand over some tasks that are not difficult or risky, and eat cookies in the main control room.

I don’t know what prophecy they have listened to, and the spirit tribe who suddenly appeared through the web and wanted to kill her is really annoying. However, Fujimaru Ritsuka had already deduced this possibility with the emperor, and the conclusion reached at that time was that Not enough to be afraid of.The ripples caused by humanity's "Children of Hope" in the subspace may herald the rise of the entire human race again, but for the Eldar, the threat of Chaos will always be primary.

There may be some Eldar prophets who are stubborn about the past and stubbornly believe that the rise of mankind will once again bring a heavy blow to their entire race. Unfortunately, this argument is unlikely to become the mainstream among the already scattered Eldar.This means that small-scale probing attacks from the Eldar like before may appear from time to time, but they do not need to involve too much energy.To be honest, Fujimaru Ritsuka said that the Eldar issue was not even as troublesome to her as the supply problem.

The basic living supplies are okay. The Astartes-specific rations are too redundant on the Lion's Mane (another proof that the ship will carry reinforcements when it returns). There is no need to think too much about it for the time being. The problem is that each model The repair of power armor and the replenishment of various conventional and unconventional ammunition, as well as the issue of naval guns.Lan Malok had already hinted to her that if she couldn't find a suitable place to resupply, it would be best to pray that the Lion's Mane would not encounter a scenario that required a naval battle.

When it comes to naval battles, there are even more problems.Fujimaru Ritsuka has never fought a naval battle with anyone in the past six months. First of all, the Storm Frontier does not have the ability to sail outside the atmosphere. Secondly, this ship does not need to pass through Mandeville Point to navigate in subspace.As long as you don't go to the void, you won't need to fight the enemy in the void... But the essential difference between the Lion's Mane and the Emperor's Dream is that it cannot be transformed into Somni and then stuffed into the Stormbound together. Call out and fire when necessary.

In other words, after absorbing such a ship, Fujimaru Ritsuka had to give up his advantage in ship flexibility and move in a more imperial manner. The Storm Frontier would naturally take a back seat and become a transport. Positioning of landing craft and the like.In addition, such a large battle barge is difficult to hide in various dimensions. The Storm Frontier could have done some things, such as passing through the veil from subspace and landing on the planet without anyone noticing, or driving directly into the enemy grid. Operations such as Naku also have less room to perform.Not to mention the space-jumping ritual based on the Emperor's psychic energy and the light of the Star Torch - towing a small ship like the Stormbound is already strenuous enough. If you want to use this ritual to move the Lion's Mane, you might as well kill her directly. .

——In her original plan, an imperial ship should be one of the last things to appear in the team!
Fujimaru Ritsuka wanted to give up thinking, but the schedule she made on her tablet clearly told her that she couldn't rest yet.Although it will take about ten days for the Lion's Mane to be resupplied and repaired at Jestal Airport, the sooner some things can be planned the better.

She sighed, grabbed Xiaoku into her arms and squeezed him.The soft touch of the doll was very healing, but Xiaoku was not satisfied and ran away from her hands complaining.She sighed again at this, threw herself back on the bed, and continued to think.

Next is the issue of personnel - she now has the manpower of almost two Holy Code companies, but this does not mean that she can really split these nearly 200 people into two Holy Code companies.Not to mention that the Dark Angels themselves have a unique command system. Before a perfect trust relationship is established, this command system cannot be opened to Fujimaru Ritsuka. At present, they can only be regarded as a relatively reliable but with a probability of rejection. Requested allies.And then there's the Night Lords...well...

Fujimaru Ritsuka prayed sincerely: I hope Severita Leon is okay.

Putting aside the issue of the Night Lords' command, Ritsuka Fujimaru doesn't think mixing them with the Dark Angels is a good idea.This is true at all times.All in all, I hope that fighting next to their genetic father will give them some enthusiasm, and I also hope that the legendary captain of the Night Lords can suppress them all and prevent them from holding each other back on the battlefield.

——Fujimaru Ritsuka doesn’t even expect them to choose not to hold the Dark Angel back, as long as they don’t hold themselves back.

One thing that must be noted is that the Legion of Night Lords has a tradition of forming cliques since ancient times under the connivance (or in other words, spoiling) of the original body, and the Night Lords currently placed inside the Stormbound are very They were obviously divided into two groups: the 40K Chaos War Gang Night Lords, who were previously taken into custody by Fujimaru Ritsuka, and gained certain rights of free movement after being tried by Konrad Curze and successfully surviving; and Salamas At the end of the expedition, we followed Konrad Curze and Yago Savitarion, who joined the Invincible Reason and were captured by the 30K veteran Night Lord.

It is trivial to say that the differences between the two sides are obvious here.What's more fatal is that Konrad Curze is the kind of primarch who will have a significant temperature difference when dealing with the offspring he likes and dislikes.Except for Savita, who was the only one, Fujimaru Ritsuka felt that he seemed to like the eighteen people who passed the trial more recently. ...He didn't even think about it... He probably didn't think about it.

Even if those who were willing to jump into gangs back then were all members of the Red Glove Faction, there was a high probability that Savita would not be able to suppress the excitement of the forty or so people.What's more, what's the chance that those eighteen people can resist showing off in front of the seniors?Anyway, Fujimaru Ritsuka thought it was so small that it could be ignored.

The Stormbound was designed and built at a time when there were no Astartes in the world, so the ship had no dueling cages from the start.Fujimaru Ritsuka is thinking about whether to restart the simulation room. In name, it allows these people to solve problems in their own way. In fact, it gives them a bunch of messy monsters to make them doubt their life, and also makes them realize. Who is the woman at the top of the food chain on this ship.

Speaking of the trial of Konrad Coze, it reminds Fujimaru Ritsuka of the cause and effect of the whole incident: these people inevitably encountered Chaos pollution during their long wandering career in subspace.She also had to think about whether to modify some religious magic spells used in baptismal chants and apply them to the Empire's national religion, so that they could be used directly when encountering similar situations in the future.Although the effect is not much different, she can guarantee that the user experience of baptismal chanting is definitely much better than that of Curze using his own essence to cut off the parts of the subject that are contaminated by Chaos.

What's more, it also has the power of "guilty must be punished". Who can guarantee that his life is pure and flawless and he has never committed a crime?At least the eighteen Night Lords who successfully survived the "Journey of Judgment" will most likely wear "red gloves" dyed with their own blood for the rest of their lives.After Fujimaru Ritsuka discovered this change in appearance, he didn't ask in detail. However, considering the meaning of this tradition itself, there is a high probability that it is not just a change in appearance.

Conrad Coates was not kind enough to give the punishment within the Red Glove a time limit to lift, as she did.Even in the illusion, her side's Savita Leon finally replaced his red gloves.

Thinking of this, she remembered that she had not asked yet why the Terminator armor of Savita looked so familiar and when did Jeanne d'Arc Alter come.

She had seen this combination many times in fantasy, and it was so familiar that she felt it was a natural thing in her desperation. It was only now that she suddenly realized something was wrong.The fact that Konrad Coze suddenly realized his true nature is also very suspicious - you all want to play solo manifestation counter-summoning for me, right?
Fujimaru Ritsuka immediately locked a few troublemakers in her mind, then stood up again, quickly grabbed Xiaoku who was wandering by her window, and asked the doll: "In the past two days, apart from my usual... Is there anyone else manifesting on this ship outside of the daily calling of operations?”

Considering that Savita Leon and Jeanne d'Arc Alter are a combination that only exists in illusions (dreams), Fujimaru Ritsuka has quickly eliminated the suspects until only Merlin and Oberon are left.She had even made a plan in an instant on how to punish the real criminal, but Xiaoku's answer surprised her:

"When you were sleeping, a golden shadow fell in the summoning room." The doll said, "There was no hostility. It walked around in a circle and then left. I don't know what it came for."

……what?

Fujimaru Ritsuka was confused.

 An excessive chapter that is annoying but must exist.jpg
  To summarize the current problems faced by Guda:
  1. Logistics, maintenance and supplies mainly focus on armaments.

  2. The personnel command is not good enough, and the combat methods must be changed.

  3. There will be some annoying spirits coming to shoot you coldly.

  4. Subordinates form cliques and hold each other back, while the immediate boss is adding fuel to the flames even if he cannot take the lead.

  5. Gain some chaos countermeasure technology.

  6. The old members of Storm Border came without even saying hello, and some of them came and left again. It’s very shameful for the Master to be like you.

  7. The emperor wanted to peek at the screen, but found that there was no place for him on the ship, so he turned around and went back.

  In fact, not all problems need to be solved immediately...

  Let’s talk about whether you like to read the daily stuff. If you like it, I will write down the ten-day supply period in detail. If you don’t like it, I will just throw in some important information and fly away in the next chapter.
