The Emperor’s Angel of Death - Vol 2 Chapter 1624
Hearing Soshyan’s answer, the great sage’s eyes flashed for a moment, and then he said warmly:
“It can be seen that the huge force and fleet of the Red Pirates put a lot of pressure on you, but I don’t think your biggest trouble is the Red Pirates.”
“Oh? What do you say?”
“Huron seems to have hundreds of thousands of Chaos Space Marines, but why is he still curled up in the depths of the Maelstrom after so many years? Even the old nest like Badab Star Fan is only indirectly controlled.”
Soshyan thought for a moment and said:
“At present, he is still unable to fight against the huge army of the empire, and the traitors under him are not really determined to fight to the death for him, at least most of them are not.”
“Actually, in my opinion, although Huron has looted countless wealth over the years and even worked hard to build his small kingdom, his domain still does not have the ability to maintain a legion. Why is the black legion so terrible? Because there is something in the eyes of fear. More than a dozen technical heretical worlds serve him, and the endless supply of equipment and materials provided by those worlds can support a real legion. Even if the big plunderer does not plunder, he can still launch his war plan, but Huron No, he seems to be very rich and powerful now. It is based on constant plundering. Once this process is interrupted or strictly guarded, his warehouse will be depleted very quickly… Maybe he The reserves can supply him to fight a hundred battles, or even a thousand battles, but what about 10,000 battles? Once there is no sufficient supplies, the war gang under his command will fall apart and leave him. Chaos heresy has never endured. After all, they won’t serve a lord on an empty stomach.”
At this point in Ultramoc, Soshyan really felt a little bit relieved. He had been staring at the huge force and fleet of the Red Pirates before, and he really ignored the fragile self-sustaining ability of the Red Pirates.
Huron raises so many people and fleets, and the supplies he consumes every day must be massive. In a non-war state, he can replenish it through frequent looting, but once he enters a state of full-scale war, when all the fleets are engaged in war, only his existing Territory, it is impossible to maintain the consumption of such a huge army.
And this, as Altmork said, is the biggest Achilles heel of the Red Pirates – they can’t actually fight a protracted war and a war of attrition!
If the battlefield of the two sides is changed from the field of competition of guns and blades to the field of logistics competition, then Huron will undoubtedly lose. This is the reason why he has not made big moves for so many years. He should also know this very well.
Without those wealth and supplies, his allies, mercenaries, and even his subordinates would leave. After all, everyone went against the empire and returned to the empire, but it was not to the point where they fought for nothing and went against it for free.
Soshyan smiled and praised:
“I didn’t expect you, Great Sage, to be a master of war. I would like to invite you to be my staff.”
“Everyone in Reza must be a master of war, because we have too little time for peace, and for 10,000 years, various alien and heretical invasions have never stopped.”
“Then what would you say is my biggest trouble?”
“So in my opinion, the focus of Soshyan’s war is not how to attack, but how to defend, how to drag Huron’s fleet on the front line, how to make his plundering futile, how to make him Valuable resources are poured into continuous and pointless battles, if this can be done, even if the Expeditionary Force does not have any decisive victory, I believe that in a few years, the Red Pirates will naturally disappear… That’s why I say Your biggest trouble is not the red pirates, because to do this, it is bound to need the cooperation of all local institutions and forces, because the wealth plundered by the red pirates will not be turned into logistics and equipment out of thin air, and their sales routes are basically the same as the rampant in the Maelstrom. The smuggling routes overlap. If you want to block the red pirates, the first step is to cut off the smuggling, which will affect the interests of many, many people.”
After Soshyan listened, there was a long silence, only the sound of fingers tapped on the railing.
When the outline of Endeavour City appeared on the horizon, he suddenly said solemnly:
“I didn’t expect that although you are not in the Maelstrom area, you have a good eye for it… I have heard a little about this kind of evil. It seems that there are some hive ruling families and trade lords involved in it. Those people don’t know how to deal with heretics. Is smuggling a capital offense?”
“There are enough interests, they will even sell the ropes to hang themselves, and their backgrounds are far less simple than you think. For example, some families have been serving the Inquisition all the time, and some organizations are from Terra The powerful family, and some people are simply the white gloves of certain departments.”
“A lot of things in the empire are broken in the hands of these silverfish, they really deserve to be killed!”
Just when Soshyan was full of resentment because of the intertwined situation of the maelstrom, they had gradually approached Endeavour City.
From a high altitude, Endeavour City is a towering and extremely dense hive-style building complex with a radius of hundreds of kilometers, and has a large number of metal “tentacles” extending in all directions, covering a wider area.
The essence of these “tentacles” are the tracks and related facilities of the super-giant train, which pass through various cities and production complexes throughout the continent, connecting the entire Knowledge Continent together. In this network, the farthest node is in The forge group located in the westernmost part of the mainland, where hundreds of large and small foundries are concentrated, all of which are high-quality forging furnaces for the production of various types of war machines, and even dozens of them are dedicated to the production of famous Manufacturer of the Storm Blade.
As the core of the knowledgeable continent, Endeavour City is also the core of Reza’s manufacturing industry. Every day, it continues to produce a huge amount of war machines, from assembling the internal key equipment of imperial warships to various heavy tanks. Everything, and these from casting gods The equipment and machines produced in the temple are loaded onto super-giant trains at large sites, and then transported to the east of the northern continent via the Isthmus of Atonement, which is the transfer site Omega 9.
In addition to the complex and magnificent ground facilities, the underground of Endeavour City is also huge. It has established the largest data crypt in Reza. Its hugeness and completeness cover all the knowledge that Reza knows. Deeper, more unknown enemies, there are underground war facilities built with Reza, and legends have sealed various technologies and items prohibited by the Emperor.
But the whole picture of Reza burrows and even what is there in the end, until after the Horus Heresy, it was impossible to know~www.mtlnovel.com~ The only information that can be said to be known is probably only here is the secret Reza Knight, the blockbuster after that, The Starshine Family – They were unknown until their appearance and had been engaged in endless mock battles underground until Reza was invaded by the rebels and they were summoned, and their existence was not known.
“Bringing a butcher’s knife directly is a very simple and straightforward solution, but the reality is that many things can be solved not only by killing, and the Great Rebellion has shown this.”
“Sounds like, Great Sage, you don’t seem to be optimistic about this expedition?”
“If I use data to simulate your expedition, my logic processor concludes that your probability of victory is only 13.4%.”
As the airship slowly descended, the towering alloy city wall of the magnificent Endeavour City was getting closer and closer.
“It’s so bad, do you think there’s no hope?”
