The Emperor’s Angel of Death

While everyone was talking, Colonel Arkat of the Cadian Legion was also carefully observing the tactical map. In the past week, he had been going to the front line with similar doubts to reconnaissance. From his keen tactical mind, the enemy seemed to still be on the move. There is no apparent attempt to achieve a goal.

So he told his thoughts truthfully.

"Maybe the intelligence is wrong? Maybe the enemy thought our front was in the direction of their marching line, but they got it wrong? They knew we were about to launch a general attack and chose to strike first?"

"I doubt it."

Colonel Rafa Walton of Vostonia shook his head and retorted:

"Maybe this is also a possibility. If as you said, then the large enemy troops are attacking the wrong target. They are not so stupid."

"If the enemy makes such a mistake, then we must make good use of it, but if they have other unknown evil intentions, then we can't wait for the situation to develop and must act quickly." The Astral Army officers stopped at the right time. After speaking, they all looked at Soshyan.

Then the commander-in-chief of the campaign began to draw the signs on the map.

"Two days ago, the last batch of support troops arrived, and a total of 110,000 soldiers from various units have been deployed on the defense line. There are still 50,000 soldiers on the track. Due to the inexplicable route of the enemy, we will There will be contact with the enemy's flank, and several Cadian regiments will be responsible for the salient line of defense about nine kilometers long."

Soshyan spoke as he marked new lines of defense and tactical icons on the map with a laser pointer.

"Although I don't want to be overconfident, it seems to me that if the enemy exposes the flank, or tracks other targets, then we will have the opportunity to hit the enemy hard, and the battlefield will soon become a meat grinder in the mouth of the staff. If the situation is as expected, once we attack the enemy's flank, the enemy's forces will retreat to Attica, and we will have the opportunity to break through the enemy's defense."

Then, Soshyan stared closely at Stryker.

"That's it, while we are blocking the enemy's troops, we are stepping up our attack on the periphery of Attica. Colonel Stryker, you remember the dense jungle around Attica and the depth of the fortifications. You have to take advantage of this. , I will not dispatch you on a large scale, the Catachan people will be scattered in platoons in concealed movement, and take the opportunity to retake the Olympia foothills camp that was lost before, I think you will play a mechanized infantry comparable to this. the combat effectiveness of the troops."

The briefing was over, and after receiving their respective orders, the commanders all left the field one after another.

Soshyan stopped Stryker.

"Colonel, what do you think the enemy's goal is?"

Stryker hesitated for a moment, then cautiously glanced at the other Chapter Masters, and said slowly:

"The secret that Guy's family guards?"

Soshyan nodded slowly.

"Not long ago, we detected a weak energy burst signal from the snow field in the extreme north of the continent. The intensity is between the eruption of a small volcano, and the location is exactly one of the five coordinates. The direction of the sudden action of the Black Legion. North too."

Azrael, the chapter leader of the Dark Angels Chapter, also spoke slowly.

"The Stone of Hellfire, the Black Legion may have found the Stone of Hellfire first."

Stryker was at a loss as he stood there. He didn't know why this kind of thing would involve him. He thought it was over.

Soshyan then drew a line on the map.

"But from Attica to that coordinate, the straight-line distance is nearly 8,000 kilometers, and the actual distance must be more than 10,000 kilometers. If the Black Legion only takes the ground road, I am afraid that it will not be able to reach it in ten days and a half, so I guess , they will go to a portal first."

"what?"

"To be honest, I'm not a fan of guesswork."

Soshyan said that, but his hand pointed to the center of a certain area marked on the map as the new front.

"But I believe in this conjecture. The enemy will not dispatch precious troops for no reason and risk being surrounded and wiped out by our army at any time. This shows that there is something worth fighting for, and there are not many such things on the platoon star."

Stryker was silent, his expression already revealing the answer.

"So, when the battle begins, the primary goal of you and your regiment is the Olympia camp, and locate the portal, be sure to find it, you have defended there, and you are most familiar with the surrounding terrain, this matter is only You and your people can do it.... But you have to remember that only the people like us know about this. Just report it to me directly. If the Black Legion knows that we are also looking for this portal, they will It may be destroyed in advance, other troops, including Astartes, will assist in intercepting the enemy's troops, and there will also be a siege of Attica, several things must be done at the same time, the force is tight, you know what I mean."

"Understood, let's be honest. Now I feel honored to take over this task. You must have missed it."

"I trust you."

Soshyan smiled slightly.

"Get ready, you will land in three hours."

After Stryker left, Azrael appropriately expressed his views to Soshyan.

"Is it really good to leave it to them?"

"No problem, I trust Colonel Stryker."

"If that really concerns the Hellfire Stone—"

"If it is true, then Abaddon must be more concerned than us. If he notices any Astartes appearing near the camp, he will immediately order it to be destroyed, and I also Concerned about another thing—"

With that said, Soshyan moved his gaze to the weak energy signal in the extreme north.

"If Abaddon had found the Hellfire Stone earlier, why is Madele still in a half-sealed state? Is there any discord between them? Or maybe Abaddon has another purpose?"

Then he shook his head.

"There are too many uncertainties here. We can't invest all our strength for one uncertain factor. At present, our focus is still on attacking Attica and destroying the enemy directly. This is the best way to avoid all troubles. The war continues to drag on, and I can't imagine what troubles will arise in the future. Don't forget Abaddon's trump card, the Spirit of Vengeance and Planet Killer did not appear. In addition, he captured several Blackstone Fortresses in the Gothic War. threaten."

Hearing Soshyan say that, Azrael thought for a moment and nodded.

"Yes, there is a saying in Gutera that there are many dreams in the night, and the best way now is to cut the mess with a quick knife."

At this time, Randall suddenly said:

"What if the Catachan did find a portal and take it?"

Sosh raised his brows and replied:

"Report it to the Grey Knights and let them deal with it. If they can't get any manpower, then depending on the situation of each regiment, select manpower to organize a team to capture the Hellfire Stone through the portal."

When the meeting was over and Soshyan was about to return to the Eternal Loyalty to discuss the next orbital bombardment with Lothar, an unexpected news brought an unexpected visitor.

When receiving this news, Soshyan was even stunned.

"How...how did she come?"
