Chapter 208 Luther’s Dream(1/3)
Luther is here.
He brought a whole fleet with him.
It's enough to arm an army, start a war, or make a bright star fall into the abyss of destruction and oblivion.
[Enough to arm 50,000 Astartes with individual weapons at once, 800 armored vehicles of various types, 400 artillery pieces of various types, 1,000 Terminator tactical armors of various types, and three Stormbird squadrons
, as well as supporting ammunition supplies and medical supplies that are enough to consume an apocalyptic war from beginning to end.】
[There are also transport ships responsible for transporting these supplies, as well as a naval fleet that provides military support: fifteen capital ships and a number of light ships. The ships themselves and all their crews are also part of this gift. ]
[The majority of the 225 Dark Angels are veterans who have experienced the Terra Unification War and the Randan War. 150 of them are senior technical sergeants, who are responsible for the management and maintenance of weapons and equipment that do not use common technologies. 】
[More than 100,000 volumes of explanatory books, which record in detail all the disclosed alien races that the Dark Angels Legion has encountered, as well as the specific experiences and lessons learned in [all] battles in the past, and is accompanied by the most detailed copy of the Eastern Galaxy
Star map, as well as several unique contact information of the Rogue Trader dynasty and the feudal world of knights.]
[Finally, there is the most important existence, whose individual value is greater than the sum of all other gifts. 】
【Knight of Caliban:Luthor.】
【My best friend.】
The words as heavy as a thousand were not recorded on the electronic board, but were recorded on a roll of parchment with some vigorous and powerful pen power. It even exuded something from Caliban, something belonging to the deep forest and decay.
The smell of leaves.
Morgan leaned on her silver throne. Today, she has been sitting on this extremely uncomfortable throne for too long, receiving batch after batch of visitors who all have their own needs.
Without exception, these visitors brought gifts, but there was no doubt that the heavy gifts brought by a certain old knight of Caliban, with the champion swordsman of the First Legion behind him, were the most valuable.
Morgan grabbed one side of the parchment roll and let the other side lie on her lap. She whispered bit by bit this most profound gift, which was enough to arm the entire Dawnbreaker Legion.
Even more than enough, the most sincere and heroic gift from Caliban.
The Spider Queen did not even really read out the most important part: Although there were only Luther and Morgan in the throne room, due to a certain cautious nature, the Lord of the Second Legion still did not read out the last part of the inestimable value.
Gift.
Production lines for firearms, power armor, terminators, various armored vehicles and artillery.
Their large number and rich variety are enough for the newly born Second Legion to establish a medium-sized industrial world of their own in an instant, achieving the most basic and important self-sufficiency.
Of course, while giving all these rich gifts, the King of Knights of Caliban was not completely dazzled: all the production lines are those with [normal] equipment that can be found in any large forging world
The same items, without involving the mysterious science and technology and ancient relics unique to the Dark Angel Legion.
As for those armored vehicles and artillery, there are indeed a very few [Specialties of the First Legion] among them, but their numbers are so rare that they are not worth mentioning, and they are under the strict supervision of senior technical sergeants.
Even if Jonson didn't say it explicitly, Morgan knew very well: These Dark Angels' unique equipment would only be used by her at the most dangerous moments, and when necessary, all unfortunate outside witnesses would need to shut them up forever.
mouth.
Having been together for more than ten years, this tacit understanding does not require additional reminders.
There seemed to be a few words at the end of the parchment scroll, but Morgan was no longer in the mood to finish reading it. The Queen of Dawn kept a kind smile. Her expression at this time was worse than when she faced the envoys of Trazin and Reza.
, simply too sincere and sincere.
He raised his head and saw Luther: the old knight was smiling because of the words "my best friend" from Morgan's mouth. He looked a few years older, compared with the appearance that was barely high-spirited in Morgan's memory.
, I felt a little lonely behind bars.
It seems that some people don't really like Caliban's deep woods that much.
【We haven’t seen each other for a long time, Lord Luther.】
Morgan kept that smile that no one could refuse. She stood up, first moved her numb limbs, then slowly walked down the stairs and led Luther to the space behind the throne.
With a wave of his hand, a set of simple wooden tables and chairs appeared out of thin air.
Compared with being high in the throne and facing her "best friend", the Spider Queen has another way of getting along with her: whether it is Ahriman before, Luther now, or Kelly Fanny later.
, they will not feel from Morgan the arrogance and coercion of being half a Primarch. In the eyes of Morgan's pen pals, what they see will only be a true friend.
Morgan is happy to maintain a closer friendship with these key figures in her heart. After all, compared to some of her brothers, the Spider Queen knows very well that there are some things that the superior authority and the status of the Primarch cannot do.
Yes, on the contrary, sincere friendship and a gesture of equality will work wonders.
【any drinks?】
The old knight of Caliban is still a little constrained. He still doesn't seem to have reacted to the fact that his pen pal is actually a Primarch. However, when faced with Morgan, the sincere friendship is the same as before.
, Luther still showed a rare smile.
Following the guidance of the Primarch, he looked at the shelf on the side, where several types of wine were clearly grouped, and the names of their respective types were written on the labels below.
【This is all brewed by me myself.】
Golden Fleece, Burgundy, Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache, Acadian Acorn...
Bottles of wine that looked extremely mellow and fragrant made Luther dazzle his eyes. The old knight, who had never been interested in this, kept looking at his fine wines that were carefully wrapped in long bottles.
Another problem was discovered.
"this……?"
The old knight pointed to the obvious empty area on the wine shelf: it was empty, there was no bottle of wine, only a lonely brand with a series of beautiful characters written on it.
【Classical Craft】
Morgan blinked.
[Classical craftsmanship...its taste is rather sour, which may not suit your taste.]
Luther did not see the momentary pause on the Primarch's face. He nodded, picked a bottle at random, and slowly started chatting with the extraordinary pen pal in front of him.
[I thought I would see you in the Battle of Tuckers. After all, it was a battle in which the First Legion devoted all its strength.]
Morgan stood up and poured a glass for Luther herself without using her psychic powers. Her words were casual and silky, easily raising the topic and making Luther's pupils darken involuntarily.
"Jonson sent me back to Caliban, hoping that I can recruit and train enough new blood for the next war to ensure the combat endurance of the Dark Angel Legion."
Morgan lowered her head and poured herself a drink. Her eyes avoided the old knight Caliban, who looked a little unnatural, so that he could not see the gleaming light in her pupils.
[Yes, I know, Zhuang Sen discussed this with me before the war started. 】
The Primarch nodded. She did not look at Luther, but was immersed in her own words.
[However, I feel that this is not a very correct move. The temporary recruitment of new blood is almost meaningless for a battle of the level of Tuckers. Instead, we need a commander who has experienced hundreds of battles.
Play a unique role.]
[What's more, in a battle of this level, no matter whether the final result is victory or defeat, the Dark Angel Legion, as the absolute main force, should take a break to make up for the damage caused by more than ten years of fierce fighting.
.]
[Jonson can completely wait and then personally deal with issues such as recruiting new blood.]
[My brother is a little short-sighted in handling this matter, but of course I don’t blame him, he is too tired.]
"..."
Luther was silent for a moment, as if he was hesitating whether to agree with this sentence, but after seeing his white as new armor, the old knight of Caliban still sighed softly.
"yes……"
"And he has never learned such a macro strategic command. Caliban restricted him."
Morgan nodded, she seemed to be awakened by Luther's words.
[Speaking of Caliban...]
【How is Caliban?】
[As far as I know, the First Legion almost only recruits recruits in Caliban. After more than ten years of fierce fighting, the pressure on Caliban should be quite big, right? 】
"……indeed so."
Luther lowered his head and drank to cover up the shock in his pupils.
He even had an illusion and an extremely absurd feeling.
After Jonson led the Dark Angels Legion back to Caliban, Luther also had several conversations with his original body and adopted son, all of which were about Legion business.
Zhuang Sen is concerned about many things: he is concerned about the direction of the Great Expedition, he is concerned about the search for Randan's home planet, he is concerned about the recruitment of the next batch of soldiers, he is concerned about the safety of those important warehouses...
However, he has never cared about Caliban, nor has he ever cared...
Luther blinked.
In the end, the first words of concern for Caliban he heard came from an "outsider" in a sense.
It's really... funny.
He sighed.
"Generally speaking, it's pretty good. The population structure is still normal. It can provide sufficient troops and manpower. The legion's rest and reorganization work has also been on the right track. In fact, Zhuang Sen has taken the main force of the first legion to the industry.
World Gramaya, he didn't stay in Caliban long."
【You didn’t follow?】
