626. Crow and Shadow: Damocles Bay (I)!
Currently, in the entire Void Fleet.
The number of Astartes in the Carcharodon Regiment has always remained at around 500 people, that is, five companies.
Among them, the fifth company is a group of new blood that has just completed the transformation surgery.
They are undergoing more training.
Their combat capabilities are far from those experienced Astartes veterans.
Even though Rorschach has ordered the Chapter Master Tiberus to harvest the "blood tax" on the spot as the support operation proceeds, and expand the sixth and even seventh companies with new blood.
But there is also a problem in terms of training time.
If we simply pursue more numbers, the gene seeds currently possessed by the Carcharodon can barely support the consumption, but the quality of the Astartes' soldiers may plummet.
And I don't know why.
In the early days of the Indomitus Crusade, the batch of Primaris recruits and even Primaris technology that Regent Guilliman should have sent to the Carcharodon Regiment never showed any signs of delivery.
Therefore, the best way for Rorschach at the moment is to rescue people from the prayer support.
In this way, it can save time for training new blood and reduce the consumption of gene seeds.
It can also give the Astartes who would have been sacrificed at various time points a chance to fight again.
So, after a short rest, Rorschach began to select prayer support that could bring out the Astartes.
And after finding that there was no mission worth trying.
He also waited patiently for the next refresh time of prayer support.
------------------------------------
Now, all the Astartes in the Carcharodon have been divided into combat teams according to the difficulty level of the psychic distress signal.
They will first send a combat team to investigate the specific situation of the local area.
Then send more combat teams according to the enemies encountered.
If it is harassment by aliens or heretic rebels, then only one or several combat teams are enough to deal with it.
If it is a small-scale invasion of the Necrons or the green-skinned orcs who are ready to move.
Then the entire company can barely fight.
Of course, facing the kind of large-scale war that is difficult to bite off in a short time.
The entire regiment needs to be dispatched to completely eradicate the enemy.
After repeated attempts, the Sharks will not hesitate to carry out orbital bombardment, and then turn around and leave.
Because it is more important to capture a planet than to bite the bullet and pay a heavy price in casualties.
Recovering more human worlds in the Far East border as soon as possible is the top priority.
And those hard bones, the Sharks did not really give up.
They made detailed marks on the star map and planned to deal with them later.
In this regard, Rorschach, as the Primarch, did not interfere with any action plan of the Sharks.
Because he still had his own things to pay attention to.
Not long after, as the Golden Throne page was refreshed again.
A prayer support mission related to the Raven Guard attracted Rorschach's attention at the first time.
"Damocles Bay? The war with the Tau Empire? Why do I remember that the Empire lost miserably this time?"
At this moment, Rorschach, with his eyes narrowed, sat in the metal throne.
His gaze stared at the information on the simulator and gradually fell into a state of contemplation.
Considering many situations.
The Raven Guard is undoubtedly a very good choice.
First, from the relationship between the Primarchs, Rorschach, who possesses the power of shadow, is naturally closest to the Raven King Corax.
Moreover, he can easily gain the support of all the Raven Guards by taking advantage of the blood worship of the Genetic Offspring for the Genetic Primarch.
Second, the Raven Guards have always carried out their combat philosophy to the end, which fundamentally has no conflict with him personally.
Even if a large number of Raven Guards are sent back to the native world later, there will not be any big problems.
"In that case, then choose your Raven Guards."
"Also let me, the Primarch brother who is most involved with the Raven King, lead you on a new path again!"
At this moment, Rorschach, who broke his contemplative state, slowly exhaled.
The next second, he suddenly performed the Shadow Step.
The whole person left the metal throne as fast as a shadow.
He shuttled continuously into the passage outside the ancient hall!
Not long after, the Weeper Guards and the Crusader Combat Team, which had been repaired for a period of time, also quickly assembled.
Rorschach first briefly told everyone about the alien enemy, the Tau, that they were about to face.
Then, he opened the simulator without hesitation and chose the Raven Guard's prayer support mission.
—————————————————
Buzz.
Accompanied by a sudden buzzing sound in the dry air.
A subspace portal that appeared out of thin air above the ground slowly opened.
Then, a magnetic boot with a faint golden luster stepped out first, stomping heavily on the dusty and cracked ground, splashing some smoke and dust.
The next second, Rorschach, wearing the Starfire Glory Power Armor, carrying the Blood Scythe and the Dawnbringer, stood on the land of this strange world.
Dong Dong Dong——
Almost at the same time, more heavy footsteps resounded around.
One by one, heavily armed Terminators holding bolters and Astartes wearing black cross robes quickly rushed out of the portal, and then launched a security mission around them.
"Black Templar, you immediately send out a reconnaissance team to investigate the surrounding geographical environment. The Lamenters try to access the local communication channel to see if they can establish contact with the imperial forces."
At this moment, Rorschach, who was wearing a skull helmet, quickly glanced at the unfamiliar and desolate scene around him.
He gave orders in a low voice to the people around him.
Everyone who received the order immediately took action.
The Crusader combat team of more than thirty people sent a reconnaissance team of several people forward.
The Weeper Guards were responsible for the security mission while trying to contact the local Imperial Guard through the communication channel.
However, not long after, a Lamenter just listened to the communication channel for a while, and then drove the Terminator armor towards Rorschach.
"Lord Primarch, there is only chaos in the communication channel here. It can be judged from just the few words that can be heard. The local commander seems to have completely given up on the command task, leaving all the mortal troops to fight independently, and the current The war situation is not good."
Rorschach was not much surprised when he heard the Weeper's report.
He pondered for a moment, turned to stare at the other person and said:
"Let's wait for the battle brothers of the Black Templar to complete their investigation first. If the situation gets bad enough, then we may need to jump into battle immediately and try to save the result."
"In addition, the Astartes troops of the Raven Guard Chapter should also join this battle. If we can obtain their command right away, even if we face a group of noseless 'fishermen' and their superiors, Shandao, I don’t think we will lose this war again!”
