The Emperor’s Angel of Death

After closing the images of the Necrons, Sorshian turned his gaze to the Fabricator-General.

"Has your research over the past century yielded any findings?"

"Besides knowing that the metal they use is quite magical, and some unique building materials, there are no further results at present."

"Have you discovered any unique items?"

"No, we have not."

Sorshian nodded, pondered for a moment, and then said loudly:

"I understand now, Fabricator-General Przemyslaw. The situation is basically clear, the nature of this war has changed, and we are no longer facing just a Genestealer uprising. The enemy is not just that small group of aliens and infected, but also the more terrifying Necrons. These ancient remnants of the dead are worse and more cruel opponents than the former. They even have the ability to destroy the entire forge world. Therefore, in order for Ekholaria to survive, we must go all out."

The Fabricator-General immediately responded:

"Of course, it is Ekholaria's honor to have your help. We will definitely assist you in the battle with all our strength."

"Assistance is not enough, Fabricator-General. In order to ensure the unified execution of the war, I need command of all the armed forces of the forge world. Also, I do not recommend that you continue to stay on the ground, as it would be very dangerous. You should move to orbit as soon as possible to work and command. This war may not end in a short time, but you don't have to worry about Ekholaria's production quota. I promise Ulan Hud will bear a part of it."

Although Sorshian's words were gentle, they did not carry a tone that could be negotiated. Przemyslaw knew that he had no choice but to agree after a moment of silence.

"Then I will leave the subsequent war to Chapter Master Sorshian."

Sorshian turned his gaze back to the planet projection model.

"Based on the changed war goals and nature, our strategy also needs to be adjusted, but I also very much agree with the Second Company Captain's plan. Since the enemy forces in Trevnack City have been isolated, we have no reason not to solve them first. After eliminating this enemy force, we will turn our guns to attack the Slag Mountains, compressing the aliens' space from two directions, but there is no need to rush to eliminate them."

As soon as this was said, some of the surrounding company captains looked puzzled, some fell into contemplation, and a few quickly understood.

First Company Captain Nadir was one of the few who quickly reacted. After a brief silence, he said slowly:

"Chapter Master means, drive these aliens back underground? Let them fight each other with the Necrons."

"Haha, driving them back underground is right, but Genestealers are like mice compared to pythons, and it would be too optimistic to expect mice and pythons to fight each other. But struggling mice can make the giant python hidden in the underwater silt surface, then we can know its size and strength."

"In other words, the Genestealers have now become bait?"

"Not just bait, we need to use them to attract the attention of the Necrons, and infer the specific location and depth of their tombs based on the Necrons' activity routes and ranges. And when they are fighting with the Genestealers, send elite troops to detour from other directions to carry out precise destruction strikes on their nests! This is the most effective way to eliminate this alien, otherwise once a protracted war is formed with them underground, the other party will definitely have the advantage with its constantly resurrecting technology and elusive technology. Furthermore, the Necrons' weapons are a great threat to the warriors, and large-scale frontal conflicts will only increase casualties."

As he spoke, many past events flooded into Sorshian's mind like a tide.

"For the honor of the Emperor and the tireless dedication of his defenders, we beseech you."

"Hail, our Emperor!"

"Those who give their lives, those who exchange immortal eternal torment for our survival, we implore you, recall the souls from the deaths of our brothers, and bring them back to your side!"

"Deathless is his name!"

"Nade! Nade! Wake up!"

"I know you can survive, the officers... are right, you are destined to be great."

"Aksay! Aksay! Can you hear me!"

"Fight...I...can still..."

"For a noble purpose, sometimes we have to do things that violate our principles. This may be explained by expediency, but Alexei, you must remember that there is a line between use and conspiracy, and never cross that line."

With a crack, the metal railing as thick as a mortal's forearm was twisted into a twist in Sorshian's hand, and even the picture on the display shook. The surrounding company captains and Przemyslaw were startled, but did not speak, just looked at Sorshian, wondering what had angered him.

After a moment, Sorshian, who had recovered, blinked and sighed softly.

"The 9th and 10th companies will go to the No. 3 Sacred Furnace Mining Area to deploy first, creating the illusion that we will launch a main attack here to attract the attention of the Genestealers. Other companies will gather in Trevnack City."

Sorshian did not explain his abnormality, but directly issued specific deployments. The company captains immediately turned their attention back to the holographic map of Trevnack City that had been unfolded in the display.

"The aliens occupy a triangular area composed of the 29th Light Weapons Factory, the 11th Engine Assembly Workshop, and the Crimson Temple. There is also a large orbital transportation transfer station and a chemical plant. Three rail routes and nine fast main roads pass through it. The entire occupied area is nearly 540 square kilometers, plus part of the underground space, the overall area exceeds 700 square kilometers, and the number of enemies gathered in this area is about 300,000, but this is only a conservative estimate. Genestealers are infectious. Although most of the personnel in the area have been evacuated, there are still nearly 200,000 slave laborers who have not been evacuated in time (the Mechanicum not only has servitors, but also a large number of slaves). Most of them are likely to have been infected and become enemies. At the same time, there are about 1.8 million servitors. Although the Fabricator-General has timely issued destruction orders to the servitors in the occupied area, it cannot be guaranteed that the aliens have not retained some of them. Therefore, from a realistic point of view, it should be predicted that the number of enemies is likely to reach one million!"

Although the combat details of the Mechanicum are really sloppy, the intelligence is still done very well. It can even calculate the approximate number of the enemy and the number of heavy weapons through the firepower density during the enemy's defense. These are marked on the map in the form of numbers. Although it is not as useful as the simulated tactical projection that Sorshian used with the Eldar, it is enough.

"From the overall defense of the enemy, it is obvious that the Crimson Temple is the focus of the alien defense, with at least 50,000 to 80,000, or even 100,000 enemies entrenched there, because it is very solid. The main body of the building is a huge alloy structure, and the entire block of giant granite constitutes its walls and is secondarily reinforced with metal casting technology. Even the main gun of the Leman Russ will not cause any damage to it, not to mention that there is a ship-borne high-power void shield generator on its top. Even orbital bombardment will not be able to take it down for a while. Moreover, it is the main commanding height of the surrounding urban area, which can block routes within a range of thousands of meters. The pious believers of the Mechanicum are more afraid of damaging the Omnissiah's temple, and dare not use destructive weapons to carry out a strong attack. Therefore, it can be seen that the heavy firepower deployed here is also relatively dense."
