Chapter 564 Star Burners: Griffin IV (IV)
Time passed by bit by bit.
The countless combat forces on Griffin IV have been fully mobilized.
With the help of the priests of the State Religion, a large number of people in the industrial hive cities received a high-intensity war mobilization with the Primarch personally arriving and giving a passionate speech.
Almost every mortal, regardless of gender, age or status, has become part of the full preparation for war.
Even at this time, the upper echelons of the Mechanicus had already realized the little tricks of Rorschach and others.
However, they faced a serious threat from the Tyranid main fleet.
They had no choice but to swallow this loss.
Moreover, there was no attempt to regain command of the entire Forge World as Rorschach and his companions had anticipated in the worst-case scenario.
Even the oil men of Griffin IV took the initiative to contact the Griffin Titan Legion and the Winter Knights family, which was also under the Titan Legion, to meet with Rorschach and others.
As for another knight family, the Cadmus family, they are currently on the route from their base planet 'Lysa' to the Forge World.
It was not until this time that Rorschach and others learned about it unexpectedly from the oil men.
The reason why they choose this kind of cooperation.
The main reason is the eight surrounding galaxies with rich mineral resources, mainly the forging world Griffin IV.
Two distant galaxies that were blocking the way of the Terran main fleet have completely disappeared.
And every astropath who tried to contact each other either fell into madness.
Otherwise, one can only receive the desperate and horrific dying cries of countless mortals who are gradually reduced to living things.
At this moment, the wild wolf Rorschach couldn't help but bare his fangs.
He stared at the four most honorable mechanical sages or great sages in front of him with his pair of blue wolf eyes.
"Why are you willing to believe us now? Your arrogance and stubbornness easily destroyed all human homes in a galaxy! Billions of mortals became the price!"
"In my opinion, even tearing you guys apart with my own hands would be the lightest punishment!"
Seeing the wild wolf Rorschach's anger rising.
Rorschach, whose expression remained indifferent, immediately raised his hand to stop the other party's subsequent actions.
He stared at the Mechanical Sages who represented all the members of the Mechanicus, as well as the commanders from the Titan Legion and the Knight Family, and said calmly,
"The disaster that has occurred was not what you wanted, so there is no need to pursue responsibility. The only good news is that we have learned the direction of the arrival of the Tyranid main fleet, which has also allowed us to find the right location for the focus of our battle."
"From now on, you, the Mechanicus, will pack up all the technological blueprints and precious STCs and take them away. At the same time, one-third of the Mechanicus fleet still in orbit around the Forge World will head to the back of the planet in the opposite direction of the Tyranid fleet. Once the war situation becomes unfavorable, the only mission of this fleet will be to escape from the Storm Segmentum with everything that can be used to rebuild the Forge World..."
"Besides, I have already completed the war mobilization in many industrial nest cities and cannot evacuate civilians. Otherwise, it will definitely cause a large-scale riot that is difficult to suppress because of who will become the survivor, thus disrupting our defense plan and mission..."
"I can only pray as the Primarch, may the Emperor bless countless people, because once the war situation falls into an irreversible situation, they who know nothing but are extremely loyal to the Emperor must live and die with Griffin IV!"
However, at this time, facing Rorschach's series of cold-blooded and utilitarian orders.
The wild wolf Rorschach suddenly opened his eyes wide and was about to explode.
He was stopped by Sefrosa who had been standing aside in silence for a long time.
He slowly stared deeply in the direction of Rorschach, and then said to everyone with different expressions:
"The Primarch's words sound a bit cold-blooded, but he has some unfinished words for me to add, which is that we actually still have a chance to defend this Forge World..."
"If we can completely reduce the efficiency of the Tyranids in acquiring biomass, and make the Hive Mind think that attacking this planet is not worth the cost, and thus have the idea of retreating, that is the battle goal we are working hard for!"
"When necessary, we can even use a large amount of promethium to ignite the air of the entire Forge World... Of course, I personally cannot estimate the specific operation method and the subsequent losses caused, but compared to becoming a lifeless dead planet, I think any price is bearable!"
At this moment, Sefrosha's calm words made everyone present seem to forget to breathe.
Even those mechanical sages who showed no outward emotion could not help but let out the subtle sound of gears turning from their mechanical bodies.
If before this, these oil men were secretly resentful that Rorschach and others had usurped their command.
Well now, the oil guys have to admit it.
They certainly did not have the cold, insane ability to make decisions that the Primarch and his Astartes had.
Not long after, this short meeting came to an end.
Rorschach gained command of Griffin IV's forge world without a single drop of blood.
At the same time, he also won the warm support of the commanders of the Griffin Titan Legion.
Six Tech Guards equipped with heavily armored vehicles, forty medium-sized Reaver-class Titans, twenty Warhound-class Titans, ten Warlord-class Titans, and two Punisher-class Titans.
A total of seventy-two Titans of various sizes became one of the important fighting forces in resisting the invasion of the Zerg swarm.
And this is actually only about half of the number of Titans in the Griffin Titan Legion.
Since more Titans are distributed throughout the Storm Star Region, there is no time to mobilize them.
At the same time, the Cadmus Knight Family, which quickly arrived at the Forge World, also brought Rorschach a mixed knight formation of about two hundred squire-level knights and master-level knights.
Plus nearly three hundred sets of Jiaokui-class knight armor from the Hanyi Knight family.
More than 500 knight armors combined with the heavy firepower that the Forge World has never lacked are enough to give the Tyranid insects that launched the first round of attacks a good beating.
The most surprising thing is...
The current head of the Cadmus Knight Family, an ambitious middle-aged noble, Baron Roland, learned that the command authority of Griffin IV belonged to a mysterious Primarch.
The other party led all the knight captains to meet Rorschach himself without hesitation.
He also swore allegiance to the Primarch in front of a great sage of the Adeptus Mechanicus.
Rorschach was overjoyed and naturally had no intention of refusing.
And when he secretly asked the other party why it was so.
Only then did he know that the Cadmus Knight Family had made a pledge of protection with the Griffin No. 4 Forge World.
It was only because they had to bow down to the strength of the Mechanicus.
Rorschach didn't know what to say about this.
At present, the three of them no longer have to deal with the oil guys' expressions.
Moreover, it is just a family of knights, and the productivity of the local world can fully support it.
What's more, Sefrosa sneaked into the escape fleet that was transporting a large number of technological blueprints and precious STCs and purchased them at will.
They don't care about offending the oil guys anymore.
And as time goes by again.
The mobilization and combat preparations of all mortals and Skitarii troops, as well as the Titan Legion and even the Knights' armor on Griffin IV, had already been completed.
Soon after, numerous large auspicious instruments running at full power began to show dense and clearly visible terrifying shadows!
And this was the only way for the Tyranids to cross the cold void, the traces left by a large number of narwhal ships!
The Tyranid Tide… has arrived!
Thank you for your support!
