Dedicate loyalty to the good empire

Chapter 215 Demon Star, Part 1
Guilliman said to Taylor. "You have turned the tables on those vicious xenos, something many dare not and cannot do."

"Now we have an unexpected army, even if they may not be loyal."

Taylor said. "Those power armor and heavy vehicles will help us land, but the question now is what that world will look like."

He looked at the star map and information sent by the Tau Empire, which stated that there were ancient human technological relics on that world.

Most of the surface is surrounded by oceans, and because of the abnormal iron content, the oceans of the entire world look bright red and have a bloody smell.

It is suspected to have been modified by humans or elves, and the oxygen on it is enough for normal people to breathe. This is valuable information, at least it seems so for now.

Guilliman said. "What an obvious trap."

Taylor replied. "I admit, I don't want to go either, but I'd rather give it a try than die in this shabby place from hunger or thirst."

He sighed helplessly, looking at the bright red world on the star map with a hint of helplessness and pain.

Perhaps he shouldn't have gone on the expedition with the Primarch. Now it seems that his former ambitions have been thwarted by the Red Corsairs and the Demons.

Being thrown to the ground and smashed to pieces...

The next few days of travel were filled with great anxiety, for no one knew whether Magnus's fleet would approach, or when the Red Corsairs' attack would come.

But now the Ultramar fleet still has two-thirds of its size. With such a size, it would be foolish for the enemy to choose void warfare.

But most people, including Taylor, can't let it go.

After all, few people can put their own lives at risk.

Despite the anxiety, the trip went unexpectedly smoothly, as if blessed by the emperor, but Taylor felt vaguely uneasy.

When the blood-red world became visible from the battleship's window, Taylor sensed something was wrong.

It was a strange and enchanting ruby, hanging high in the endless void. The strange color of the planet's surface complemented the characteristic of this space that it could emit light without the need for stars.

It's not so much that it should exist in reality, but rather that it should be here by nature.

For no star could have illuminated its colors, making it more enchanting than it is now.

At the same time, due to the characteristics of this space, the world in front of Taylor has neither a dark side nor a bright side, which makes people feel indescribably weird.

It was a flawed ruby. As the ship approached, it looked more like an eye, with the land and mountains outlining the pupil, which was chilling.

It may be a visual problem. The human eye always likes to make insinuations about things. In the human brain, which is a processor, grass, dead branches can also become ferocious beasts and evil spirits.

Taylor comforted himself in this way, and at the same time he received the order to go to the meeting room.

He walked in there reluctantly, mostly because of the murderous gaze of the Krieg girl.

When Taylor walked into the metal casting place, the chilling air in the conference room made him feel a little uncomfortable.

He tightened his windbreaker, and at the same time the clothes made a crisp sound, making it seem as if he was giving a hint to others.

he came.

The mortal officers looked at him. Most of them were Ultramar Auxiliary Army and Ultramar Honor Guard. They wore rather exaggerated muscle power armor made of ceramite and power servos, and carried power spears and light bombs.

They looked like a bunch of little Astartes.

They are elite enough to fight alongside the Space Marines, and in theory are no worse than the heroes of Cadia.

Taylor felt like he was almost suffocating under their pressure.

He did not have the confidence to suppress so many heroes. Even if he could talk freely in front of the Primarch, he really could not handle the large number of people.

He might be a bit... what's the name? In his hometown, he's socially anxious.

He licked his dry lips and walked to his seat without saying a word.

But for those elite warriors of Macragge, they knew very well that it was this man who protected their homeland when they and the Primarch drove out Chaos.

They watched Tyler walk into the hall, and without a word, they felt like he was rebuking their souls.

Scolding them for failing to fulfill their responsibilities as soldiers...

So the chamber fell silent, and after a few minutes of mutual self-blame, Ms. Krieger coughed.

She said, "The Skadi First Redemption Corps will be the primary force in this landing operation. Does anyone else have any questions?"

Taylor raised his hand. "Um, what mission?"

Ms. Krieger frowned. "Oh, my dear Captain." She tried to be more emotional, even though her current behavior was a bit...

How should I put it, it's like a puppet reciting lines.

But it is also a kind of progress.

She said. "You forgot to check your tactical tablet."

"According to the Imperial Infantry Manual, officers are required to check their tactical tablets every three hours..."

Taylor said immediately. "Boss, we're in the Warp, surrounded by Chaos Marines and Daemons. How can we read a tactical tablet?"

At this moment, the officers of the Ultramar Auxiliary Army all shook their heads subconsciously...

Taylor curled his lips. "Well, I'm not a qualified officer, so tell me what's going on?"

Ms. Krieger explained, "It will take some time to survey Mandeville Point, but the auspex indicates there are many enemy strongholds on the ground."

"Those traitors stationed themselves within the ruins of an ancient human civilization, using them to attack ships arriving from Macragge."

"Also, our instruments were interfered with by strange electromagnetic waves, making it impossible to detect the location of the Mandeville Point."

"So we must find a way to eliminate the enemies here, otherwise we will not be able to leave here."

Taylor said. "In other words, we need a ground war?"

Miss Krieg replied. "The Space Marines will handle the bulk of the enemy, and the Imperial infantry will only need to clear the flanks and provide escort. According to our detection, there aren't many garrisons here."

"There are only a few Red Pirates and an ancient ruined fortress. According to exploration, that building was built ten thousand years ago, but we can't find any information about it."

"All we know is that it is the largest complex on the entire continent and that it is able to interfere with our detection through sophisticated technology."

"Next, the Tau will be responsible for attracting the enemy, the Space Marines will make a breakthrough, and the Imperial infantry will only need to follow closely behind."

Taylor said. "Sounds easy. All we have to do is follow those supermen. So, who's leading the team?"

Ms. Krieger looked at Taylor.

"Oh..." Taylor immediately realized that he had spoken too much. Who else could this be?
Although he does not object to the principle that those who are capable should do more work, he does not want to do everything.

But Ms. Krieger quickly spoke up, having discovered a perfect spell to use against Taylor.

"This is the will of the Primarch, and it concerns your prosperity and wealth."
