Dark Angels? Now I have to get involved.
Putting aside everything else, based on their style of doing things, if this trip were to uncover any of their secrets, wouldn't being executed be a certainty?
The bad news brought by the Adeptus Mechanicus earlier was swept away from Zhang Ge's mind, and he asked the White Scar Space Marine directly:
"How many people are needed, and what method of deployment?"
"The more elites the better, but ordinary soldiers are not necessary. We are not sure what kind of enemy we will face. As for the deployment method, of course it is an aerial drop, otherwise the matter will be over long before we arrive."
Elites, that's easy to say. The most elite soldiers in the entire regiment have already been selected, namely, the veterans of each company assigned with Power Armor and his Schola Progenium close guards. However, in this way, there are as many as several hundred people, and the regiment's transport aircraft are not enough.
But this difficulty is not difficult to overcome. In Zhang Ge's name, many Valkyries should be able to be borrowed. Even with the elites of the Sisters of Battle and the Titan Guard, it's enough.
After confirming this, Zhang Ge replied:
"Okay, where to gather, and when to depart?"
After this question, Zhang Ge exchanged some specific plans for the action with the White Scar Space Marine and quickly finalized the matter.
Soon, the Space Marines left, and Zhang Ge also began to mobilize the various resources needed through Vox-caster communication.
However, he soon realized that things seemed to be getting out of control.
Because he had previously confirmed with the White Scars whether this was a covert operation, and the answer he received was "no, on the contrary, the more people who know the better", so Zhang Ge did not deliberately hide anything when contacting other regiments to borrow planes... Then, he realized that his influence seemed to be a bit too great.
After a series of borrowings, the number of aircraft needed increased instead, because when the communication was connected, the dialogue was generally like this.
"Hello? Do you have any spare aircraft in your regiment that I can borrow?"
"Yes, what for?"
"A mission requires an aerial drop of elite troops, and I don't have enough planes."
"Oh, I just happen to have a group of elites idle under my command. Let's transfer them together."
Whether it was because of Zhang Ge's previous achievements, or for some other reason, the allied forces that he could contact seemed to have a strange trust in him, as if what he was going to do was definitely right.
This even made Zhang Ge afraid to continue contacting others in the end. He was afraid that if he contacted again, these elites would gather together and be enough to form a new regiment on the spot.
To be fair, apart from the fact that I haven't missed or lost a battle, can you guys be a little more cautious?
Zhang Ge was speechless, and finally solved the problem by taking advantage of the nobles' shuttles.
Several Terran Hours later, when Zhang Ge drove a light armored vehicle to the designated gathering location, he found that this small square, described as "don't worry, it's spacious enough", had been basically filled with people.
At a glance, the more eye-catching ones were Kasrkin Veterans, Krieg Grenadiers, Storm Troopers, Heavy Ogryn, and the "less conspicuous" Schola Progenium Cadets, Carapace Armor Veterans, and the like were even more numerous. Including Zhang Ge's own hundreds of Power Armor elites, the total number of people was at least more than five thousand.
As for adding the Sisters of Battle, the Titan Guard, and the Skitarii vanguard, who didn't know where they got the intelligence and also joined in, there were at least about eight thousand personnel gathered here.
At the same time, it was not only these mortal troops who gave face. Even though the Imperial Fists originally didn't have many troops deployed on Vigilus, and they had suffered major losses before, they still squeezed out a large part of their remaining forces.
In addition to sending several Terminator Veterans, they also gathered more than seventy regular Space Marines and even sent a Dreadnought and a Land Raider.
In this case, it was obviously not only Zhang Ge who couldn't hold back. The White Scar Space Marine who had been with him before almost immediately approached him after seeing Zhang Ge get out of the car and asked:
"Where did you find so many people?"
"Do you think I would have this expression if I knew?"
Now, throwing a small pebble on the square can hit even the best of the best in the Astra Militarum. These backbone forces are extremely rare on weekdays. A battle-hardened regiment can normally only draw out a hundred or so people in total.
And the people concentrated here are so numerous that it represents hundreds of Astra Militarum regiments. This is still in the case of a sudden action with not much time to prepare. Even with the name of the Founding Chapter, it is extremely difficult to contact so many regiments in a short period of time. Are you telling me that this is something that a Colonel Regiment Commander can do?
The White Scar Space Marine looked at Zhang Ge for a long time, but ultimately didn't say anything, after all, he himself said that the more elites the better... Are there many or not?
The two's brief exchange ended quickly. The scheduled departure time soon arrived. Hundreds of Valkyries, shuttles, and dozens of escort fighters landed on the various streets extending out from the square, and the various troops also entered the interior of these fighters in an orderly manner in batches.
The multitude of aircraft even extended all the way to the corner at the end of the street. Many uninformed regiments exploded their Vox-casters for this, thinking that they had launched a counterattack without taking them along.
Of course, the most eye-catching among the many fighters were the eight Thunderhawk Gunships. In addition to the six used to transport hundreds of Space Marines and a large number of light and heavy vehicles and equipment, there were also two CAS Thunderhawks that did not carry troops, but spent the payload on the installation of ground-to-ground weapons sufficient to destroy super-heavy tank formations.
After confirming that everything was in place, the roar of countless engines began to echo in the streets, and the hot flames sprayed on the ground by the vertical take-off and landing burned out rows of charred marks.
Nearly ten thousand elites ascended into the sky of the Deadwood Sector, and began to fly at high speed towards the giant sandstorm, which was as large as a small hive city... Although they didn't even know what the purpose of this trip was.
But, a temporary regiment like this is enough to break through the siege even in the face of millions of cultists, or even to divide and annihilate them. It should not be them who fear the unknown, but the unknown should fear them.
The Vox-silent aircraft formation advanced, and as time passed, it was soon possible to capture the storm that looked like a sand wall connecting to the sky in the line of sight.
Countless fine sands were rolled up, and even above the clouds, the top of this storm could not be seen. Even the sunlight was blocked by a large part of the countless sand and dust that were thrown out, making the surrounding environment dark and terrifying.
And it is in such an environment that countless light spots representing the tail flames of fighters are flying at high speed, as if they are about to plunge into it.
