The Emperor’s Angel of Death - Vol 2 Chapter 1620
What makes the Mantis Warriors even more unique is that they are very active and active in the Badab War compared to the passive combat of the Weepers.
It can even be said that the entire Badab War Mantis Warriors filled the audience, the wailers left early, the executioners joined in the middle, and even the Star Claws only shot at the later stage of the war, and the Mantis Warriors started from the first conflict. It was fought until the war was almost over, when the coalition forces began to lay siege to the Badab galaxy.
In this case, they can be forgiven, and it is difficult for Soshyan not to think whether White Scars contributed to it.
And even if you put aside the label of the rebel and die-hard mantis warrior, the target of this expedition is Huron. As Huron’s former allies, even if Soshyan doesn’t care, they will be criticized by others in terms of loyalty.
Although the Weepers were once Huron’s allies, after the last surprise attack on the Eye of Hell, the Weepers proved their loyalty, and the Redemption Crusade ended ahead of schedule. If the Mantis Warriors joined, it would have a great impact in all aspects. Large, especially within the expeditionary force.
This was the first time Soshyan had a hesitant look in front of the white-scarred warrior. His hands were on his knees and his fingers lightly tapped the armor, as if he was engaged in a fierce ideological struggle.
Juba Khan didn’t rush to see it, he just sipped his wine. The other Khans just whispered and didn’t express any opinions, and the Astral Knights just watched their Chapter Master make a decision.
If Soshyan remembers correctly, the Mantis Warriors are a sub-group of the Marauders, that is, a sub-group of the White Scars Sub-group, and Juba Khan must have expected this when he mentioned it.
In fact, one more Chapter’s strength, even if it is a crippled Chapter, is always good for the expedition, but—
He then briefly recalled the process of the Badab War. In fact, the cause of the war was originally from the conflict between the Firehawks and the Mantis Warriors who came to investigate the Maelstrom area. The turning point of the war was the fire The process of the failed negotiation between the Scorpion Chapter Master Odiz and the Mantis Warrior Chapter Master Saltak representing Huron on the planet Shadim in the Sorrow System is unknown, but the result was a negotiation. It turned into a firefight, and the two chapter leaders died, which also caused the Badab War to completely lose the room for negotiation, and the Tranquility Galaxy, where the original home planet of the Mantis Warriors was located, was finally attacked by the ruthless raid by the sharks. Slaughter, before Huron’s other allies had withdrawn from the fight.
And after careful calculation, there are many chapters that have fought with Mantis Warriors, including Firehawks, Rangers, Raptors, Salamanders, Flame Angels, Red Scorpions, and Sharks… …
Soshyan is very clear that under the influence of honor and brotherhood, Space Marines are generally more vengeful. If the Mantis Warriors are accepted into the expedition, it is very likely that these chapters will refuse the call of the expedition – although they do not accept the Mantis Warriors. They don’t necessarily come, but if they accept it, they certainly won’t come.
After all, he didn’t have the time or strength to explain to the various regiments like he was here at White Scars.
In fact, at this time, Soshyan was already inclined to reject the Mantis Warriors, but he thought about it, if Juba Khan brought up this matter, would there be any hidden feelings?
So after pondering for a while, he said to Juba Khan:
“Juba Khan, why are the Mantis warriors so eager to join the expedition? Just to wash away the shame?”
“Not at all.”
Juba Khan put down the wine bowl and replied in a deep voice:
“At the time of the trial, Khoisan Nieldella took all the guilt alone. The Mantis Warriors thought it was their Chapter Master who sacrificed himself to protect the Chapter. In fact, it was the former Chapter Master Thrall who joined the Huron camp. Tucker’s decision, when Khoisan Neldra took over the Chapter was out of control…they hoped to use the exploits of this expedition to redeem their Chapter Master who had been sentenced to life imprisonment.”
Soshyan was about to say “how is this possible”, but immediately caught the words in his throat.
The mantis warrior is indeed impossible, but if he is the commander of the supreme lord, with the prestige of the expedition and victory, it is possible to fish people out of the prison of the Inquisition.
Soshyan looked at the solemn face of the Juba Khan, unable to guess what the other party meant, and Okuotai on the side also looked like an ancient well without waves.
But since the other party has already pointed it out, it means that there is hope in this regard,
At this time, Soshyan knew what it meant to be short-handed and soft-hearted. Since the white scar was willing to mobilize the sub-group to participate in the expedition, and his attitude was there, it was difficult to say his refusal.
There were so many things to do before the expedition started, and Soshyan felt really tired.
Thinking about it this way, it really is still the Fist of the Empire. If you say support, you will support it, and there will be no requirements and conditions attached.
“And what about their redemption crusade?”
“I have already greeted all parties about this matter, and the Tribunal has no opinion on this.”
Now that the other party has said this, after weighing it again and again, Soshyang nodded.
“I understand, then I will allow the mantis warriors to join the expedition, but they must fully accept my command. If they feel that it is not appropriate, they will give up, and ask Juba Khan to convey my meaning.”
In fact, the mantis warriors in this state are also beneficial. At least in order to rescue their chapter leaders, they will fight very hard. If they can be commanded properly, their combat effectiveness must be very guaranteed.
But Juba Khan nodded directly with a smile:
“No problem, they can take it.”
“Uh…you’d better tell them, after all…”
“Ahazra, come in.”
As the door of the main hall was pushed open, a warrior wearing ancient green power armor, a psionic hood, and a Chegris-style beard walked in.
Soshyan noticed that the think tank was holding a long staff made of wood and bone similar to Ogotai, and there were many Chegris runes on his body, and there were also traces of lightning ablation on his armor.
He vaguely guessed that White Scars’ means of maintaining contact with the sub-group should be the think tank.
“This is the mantis warrior’s think tank curator, Ahazra Reds, who is currently serving as the head of the chapter.”
Then Juba introduced it to the think tank.
“This is the supreme lord commander of the Maelstrom Expeditionary Force, Soshyan Alexei Chapter Commander.”
Ahazra Reds then bowed deeply to Soshyan, and then said solemnly in high Gothic with a Chegris accent:
“Thank you so much for giving us this opportunity to atone for this sin.”
Soshyan didn’t react for a moment, then he nodded, but looked at Juba Khan.
“Mantis Warriors are not…”
“Wokuotai has already sensed your arrival, so I notified them in advance. They just arrived a few days earlier than the expeditionary army.”
Soshyang sighed in his heart, the seemingly bold Chegris, and such a cunning side, he did not expect.
But now that it was over, he couldn’t go back and said to Ahazra Reds:
“How many soldiers are there in your regiment now?”
“Report to the commander-in-chief, there are currently 311 warriors, 2 fearless people~www.mtlnovel.com~ three battleships, battle barge Endless Redemption, strike cruiser Penitent Pursuit and Penitent Sword.”
Sure enough, few who participated in the Badab War had good results. The Mantis Warriors were full in their heyday. After a war, only one-third remained, and being sentenced to the Redemption Expedition meant that there were no recruits.
But more than 300 veterans, it’s okay.
“How is the combat readiness?”
“It’s not very good. Since the end of the Badab War, we have not received effective material replenishment for a long time. Most of the existing vehicles of the chapter cannot be used due to the lack of maintenance parts, and the soldiers’ power armor basically relies on casting sergeants. Repair use.”
Yes, it is a master who needs a lot of money.
Soshyan is now extremely grateful that he was well prepared before setting off.
“Understood, I will restore your regiment’s combat readiness, but as I just said, I hope your regiment can obey my command.”
“We are willing to put our life and honor in your hands.”
“That’s fine.”
Soshyan’s bad mood finally eased, and then he looked at Juba Khan.
“Maybe we still need to hang around in the orbit of the planet for a few days. The Mantis Warriors are not in a hurry to show up. I want to make it clear to the other chapters of the expeditionary army.”
Juba Khan nodded.
“It doesn’t matter, it just so happens that the reinforcements from those sub-groups should arrive in a few days.”
