Chapter 179 The eldest son army

"Mission accomplished?"

Yang Cheng asked after listening to his subordinate's report.

"Yes, Your Majesty, all the enemies of the empire on that planet have been wiped out, and the heretics and aliens have been completely wiped out."

Yang Cheng nodded. To him, this was just a planet, and it was not important to him at all.

But when it came to the planet, Yang Cheng began to wonder if the original conscription world could be redeemed.

Now, except for the newly-built Light Chaser Legion and the Odisius Assault Regiment, the rest of the troops under Yang Cheng's command are all summoned by himself through the system.

This is a problem. If all the troops die, there will be no one left, and I have to use resource points to replenish them. I need a once and for all method.

"Is there any conscription world that I can exchange for?"

"Of course, but when you redeem this conscription world, the soldiers of this Astra Militarum in the mall will also disappear."

“Come and see”

Yang Cheng began to look through the system mall. What he wanted now was a united force that was good at a variety of tactics.

First of all, exclude Krieg, Armageddon, Sintila Fusiliers, Attila Barbarian Cavalry, and Catachan Jungle Warriors. These legions have obvious characteristics and their shortcomings are also obvious.

These Yang Cheng will choose to summon their conscription world in the future, but it is different now. What he needs is a legion that is good at many aspects.

It's best to have something to do with the Forge World, as your own troops also need enough armor.

After Yang Cheng finished thinking, an idea popped into his mind. This Astra Militarum legion can definitely meet his requirements. Of course, except for his clothes, it is a bit retro.

"6 million, conscription world Vostonia"

"Bought"

That's right, the army that Yang Cheng was thinking of was the Vostonian eldest son's army where the eldest son joined the army and served the empire!

Vostonia is an Imperial industrial world located outside the Eye of Terror in the Halo region of the Segmentum Obscurus.

This world is classified as an industrial world between a forge world and a hive world.

Similar to the Forge World, Vostonia has a deep connection with the Mechanicum, but it is not placed under the jurisdiction of the Mechanicum.

This unusual arrangement dates back to the Age of Strife, when Vostonia was a rare independent world, albeit sworn to Mars, rather than being settled and governed by a group of Tech-priests like other forge worlds.

After declaring allegiance to the Mechanicus, Vostonia quickly developed into a highly industrialized world with the influx of Mechanicus personnel, technology, and knowledge.

During the subsequent reign of the Empire, the products of many Vostonian factories provided war supplies for humanity's wars.

This is why Yang Cheng chose to redeem them. They are a serious industrial planet. They can be self-sufficient and even reduce the pressure on other foundry worlds.

As for why they are called the eldest son army?

Stonia, as an industrial world, has had close ties with the Adeptus Mechanicus since the Age of Strife.

Although Vostonia is not a hive world, it is still dotted with factories and densely populated cities.

Since Vostonia was incorporated into the Empire of Man during the Great Crusade, its main purpose has been to produce weapons and ammunition for the Imperial Army.

In the more than 10,000 years since then, the fate of Vostonia has not changed much, and it has always been in the cycle of manufacturing and assembly.

However, during the Horus Heresy, Vostonia refused to provide arms or troops to the Loyalists or the Horus side, remaining neutral in order to keep the population running its factories.

This was a wrong decision, and after the Horus Heresy ended, Vostonia was ashamed to remain neutral and ultimately decided that every first born child of a family would be sworn to serve the Imperium and join the Astral Plane Army, used to atone for sins and repay the "debt" owed to the Empire during the Horus Heresy.

From then on, a new Astra Militarum regiment, the Firstborn of Vostonia, was established.

In the 41st millennium, these Vostonians are still fighting in this dark galaxy to save this crumbling empire and repay the debts of their ancestors.

Each of them knew that when the Empire called upon their ancestors, they failed to act.

This remains a stain on their reputation and honor, and requires continued efforts to erase it.

Yang Cheng looked at the star map next to him. According to the system, the recruiting world would automatically appear where they should appear.

"Let the aliens in this world feel the fearlessness of the First Son Army"

........................

"We need support! Those stupid aliens have broken through the defense line!"

In a trench, an officer was roaring with a communicator. Next to him was a communicator who had just died.

"We are from the 17th Binsek Regiment! The enemy has broken through our right line of defense! Requesting support!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a cannonball flew next to him, and then directly knocked it away.

"I fucked him!!"

The officer picked up the broken radio and cursed, then picked up the rifle beside him.

"Political Commissar, what should we do next?"

"These dirty aliens have broken through the defense line. Should we stay here or retreat?"

"Keep going, the time has come to show our loyalty to the Emperor!"

The political commissar raised the weapon in his hand and shouted, then tied the grenade to his waist.

They have been fighting here for several months. This regiment has fought from hundreds of thousands at the beginning to less than 30,000 now. This seems very serious, but compared with various battle situations in the empire, it is still average.

The Space Marines and the Galactic Fire Brigade now move wherever they are needed. How can it be possible to cover all the battlefields in the entire galaxy?

"Your Majesty, may I return to your side."

Just as the political commissar silently recited the words of praise, the situation of the battle turned.

An unknown force intervened in the battle. The enemy's fighter jets were shot down in the blink of an eye, and the enemies were falling in swarms.

"Your Majesty, do you hear my words?"

"Not only did the Emperor hear it, I heard it too."

An officer wearing a red military uniform and a tall hat walked up to the political commissar.

"Colonel of the 16th Vostonian Regiment, Jonathan Lytton"

"Vostorians?"

The political commissar looked at the officer in red uniform and asked.

"That's right"

Jonathan nodded and handed a cigarette to the political commissar.

Looking at these bearded soldiers who were killing the enemies in front of them with bayonets, the political commissar had mixed feelings in his heart.
