Chapter 848 Good News and Bad News

"Another quagmire of war."

Lian tried his best to hide his anger and impatience. His expression was calm, but his voice and tone could let others perceive his emotions at the moment.

"It seems that the situation of Bloom, who was captured by us before, is still good. At least we speculate that the big melee was caused by that bastard Fabius and the situation got out of control again."

"Instead of the current situation, a traitor legion that is good at fighting defensive battles designed such a ghost thing for us."

As he said, Ryan paced back and forth in front of the projection shown by Chuck, and many questions and complaints appeared in his mind again.

"Why?"

"Why can those traitors who have to fight to wear power armor come up with such a thing? It doesn't seem to have much psychic content, and it seems to be able to work in the real universe, but this damn thing is actually a huge ring that encompasses seven planets!"

"Where did they get so many resources and labor to build such a damn thing?"

For Lion's complaints, Guilliman and Qin Mo only agreed and had the same feelings at this time, and had no idea of ​​persuading Lion not to complain or settle down.

In Qin Mo's opinion, what Lion said was a little wrong.

Most of the traitors in the Eye of Terror had a bad life. They had to rely on snatching for weapons, equipment and survival supplies, and even for reinforcements, but not all traitors had such a hard life.

The Black Legion taken over by Vashtor did not suffer so much, and the Iron Warriors who believed in Chaos Without Division did not suffer so much.

But Qin Mo still agreed with the Lion King's complaint because even if the Iron Warriors had Chaos Fetal Sacs to replenish their members and their blacksmiths to make a large number of weapons and equipment, they should not be able to come up with such a large amount of money at the moment.

It could only be that someone else helped them.

For example, a lesser god in the warp who was anxious to become a god, the guy named Vashtor.

"Maybe Vashtor helped the Iron Warriors build this thing." Qin Mo spoke frankly about his speculation.

"Why did it do this?" Ryan asked, "I mean, I understand that Vashtor is facilitating the union of the traitors so that the traitors will not continue to fight among themselves when the Eye of Terror is about to be closed by us, but why is it so concerned about the Eye of Terror, the traitor's nest?"

The reason why Ryan asked this was because he knew that the creatures of the warp and the traitors were often short-sighted.

"For the Eye of Terror, for the warp, for the great cause of fighting against the enemies of the warp, we unite!" This idea could not appear in the head of a creature of the warp.

Vashtor was running around everywhere, giving equipment and weapons, and even helping to build a giant defense project, obviously not for a great reason.

"I don't know why it helps the traitors defend the Eye of Terror, I only know that it does help the traitors defend the Eye of Terror." Guilliman ended the discussion about Vashtor's motives, "Forget his motives, how can we understand the brain circuits of that kind of warp creatures?"

Hearing "How can we understand the brain circuits of warp creatures", Ryan subconsciously looked around, and stopped looking around when he saw that someone was not there.

The topic was now involved in the defense line created by the Iron Warriors.

Qin Mo looked at the projection and thought about a question, that is, whether such a huge defense line is maintained by the Iron Warriors alone?

The answer is obviously not.

Although the Iron Warriors have a vicious way of replenishing personnel called Chaos Fetal Sac, their number is definitely not enough to maintain the operation of such a huge defense line.

After realizing that there must be more than just the Iron Warriors in the defense line, Qin Mo began to speculate about which human traitors from which forces might assist the Iron Warriors, or serve Vashtor intentionally or unintentionally with the Iron Warriors.

But this kind of thing obviously requires the support of the Inquisitor and many intelligence departments in the Talon Sector. Thinking alone can only lead to the conclusion that all traitors may maintain the defense line together.

Qin Mo's thinking process was a bit slow, and Guilliman on the side immediately realized it after a simultaneous and extremely fast thinking.

Guilliman thought about more things, then looked at Qin Mo, and just as he was about to speak, he inferred from the latter's eyes that the latter had realized what he was going to say next.

This is the tacit understanding between the Lord of Talon and the Regent of the Empire.

Guilliman turned his head and told everyone what he had thought of: "I found that Vashtor has been intentionally or unintentionally gathering more traitors together, just like on Brume."

"Eisenhorn's apprentices found several webway exits on Brume before, and many traitors who later rushed to Brume appeared in those webways. Otherwise, if we control the void outside Brume, how can the traitors reinforce Brume?"

After Guilliman finished speaking, he looked at his brothers and Qin Mo.

After hearing what he said, Qin Mo also realized it.

He even knew more, such as not all hostile forces on Brume were willing to fight, and many people or war gangs came to Brume inexplicably, and then were forced to join the battle by the situation.

"According to what you said..."

Lian stroked the beard on his chin and stared at the two people who were discussing with him.

And the three realized one thing at the same time.

That is, if the guess is correct, then Vashtor may put many human enemies on the battlefield, so that the situation forces the latter to participate in the battle.

For example, put a tough guy or a warband into the occupied webway and throw them on the battlefield when the war starts.

"Forget it, don't guess. We have to fight against the enemy." Lion stopped everyone's speculation and then expressed his own thoughts, "We must prepare well before the war."

Speaking of preparation, Guilliman, who rarely interferes in war affairs, has something to say.

"Not enough black stones, this is fatal." Guilliman said.

Ryan asked: "Then Huangquan No. 8..."

"Don't say Huangquan No. 8, even the production of several other planets with black stone deposits is not enough, because the efficiency of the Mechanicus is too low."

"You can let Cawl..."

"I gave an order to Cawl when there were enough black stones. He installed some things around a planet with black stones not long ago. These things allow the planet to be towed to the Eye of Terror by the Explorer King."

"That's enough..."

"Not enough, there are places in the Eye of Terror that need black stones everywhere, and there is not enough at all."

Every question of Ryan was interrupted and answered by Guilliman, because Guilliman knew these logistics and resource mobilization matters too well.

Now Ryan decided to prepare well before attacking the Iron Warriors' star defense line, so the demand for black stone is imminent.

"I have two news about black stone. Do you want to hear good or bad news?" Qin Mo suddenly spoke.

"Good news!" Ryan asked decisively.

"The good news is that a planet with extremely high black stone reserves has been discovered in the Talon star zone." Qin Mo said.

Guilliman and Lion both breathed a sigh of relief.

Since the establishment of the Talon Sector, no planet with black stone deposits has ever been found, and now one has finally been found.

If the Talonians mined black stone, the efficiency would be as high as it could be.

But Qin Mo also said there was bad news...

"What about the bad news?" Guilliman asked cautiously.

"The planet with black stone deposits is very close to the sector, but it is not in the sector."

Qin Mo raised his hand and projected an image on the table.

It was a report from the sector's resource exploration department, and the report date was the 29th of the 73rd of the Eye of Terror, which was the day before yesterday.

It reported the location of the black stone deposit planet.

"In a new colony of a non-human civilization called Titanium."
