"So, Father is determined to use psionic energy to open a direct passage for us to bring the fleet close to the Ring? I'm worrying about this with Kiliman. ”

"Great, Lane, great!"

After Qin Mo returned to the flagship bridge, he told Ryan and Killiman everything the emperor had said.

On the way here, Qin Mo proposed to all the clones including Horus the idea of staying in the iron ring and waiting for the opportunity, and Horus agreed.

Now the clones are in the tribe of the Skinless, and if the "true test" of the Emperor comes in the future, perhaps the Skinless will be able to fight alongside them.

"Father seems to be more willing to help than usual now, and I thought he was only here to see how we fought."

"Don't say that, Killiman. At least he was willing to help and saved us a lot of trouble. ”

“……”

While Killiman and Ryan were rejoicing, Qin Mo sat at the tactical table, his head bowed and silent.

His mind was not on the iron rings built by the traitors, but on what he had just talked about with the Emperor.

The Emperor's attitude just now was quite resolute, but after he said those words, he said that there was nothing to worry about, he just wanted Qin Mo to understand that he was willing to pay the price for the human race, and hoped that Qin Mo could help him convey this idea to the ontology of Kiriman and Ryan, so that the two Primordial Commanders would not habitually ignore him when making decisions.

Qin Mo also understood, but he still couldn't help but think about it.

Until Kiliman's question brought Qin Mo back to the affairs of the expedition: "We had better destroy the traitors' iron rings, the fleets of the Ultramarines and the Dark Angels through the fleet, and I have also mobilized the fleets of the four star sectors in the empire, including the solar system fleet......"

When Ryan got impatient with Killman's roundabout and slapped Killiman on the back of the head, Killeman said bluntly, "How much fleet power can the Tyrone Navy deploy." ”

If he had been alone in private, Killiman would have asked directly, but now he was on the bridge.

The Sector has already taken on the heaviest logistical tasks, and it is difficult for them to be happy if they have to devote the most force to the war.

The war commander only needs to think about the war, but Kiliman, as the regent of the empire, needs to think about more, even including how Qin Mo should explain it to the Tyrone.

"The Tyrone Navy can dispatch forty-four thousand warships." Qin Mo said.

"Are you sure?" Ryan was surprised, "I thought you had all the warships you put into the main force of the expeditionary force and other branch fleets. ”

"Not all." Qin Mo shook his head.

As the war has progressed so far, not only the main fleet has incorporated the warships of the Tyrone Navy, but also the fleets of St. Giles and Chagatai have a large number of Tyrone Navy warships.

Less than 30,000 warships was almost all before the war began, if not counting the number of patrol fleets in the sector.

But time flows faster in the Eye of Fear than outside, and the Sector Fleet is constantly evolving.

The Naval School was expanded, and more orbital dockyards were built.

Even in the core of the sector, several of the systems near the capital of Tyrone are engaged in shipbuilding, with one system responsible for the extraction and supply of complex raw materials, one system responsible for making raw materials into components, and the remaining systems responsible for assembly.

The huge population of the worlds that were originally in the Sector and later joined the Sector also provided the basis for the selection of naval crews.

And Qin Mo also asked the Admiralty of the Star Sector not long ago to provide an accurate number of warships that could participate in the battle, which was about forty-four thousand, if the patrol fleet was not dispatched to the Eye of Fear to participate in the battle.

"Great." Killman looked at Ryan and said excitedly, "With the Imperial fleet, it is estimated that there will be more than 50,000 ships. ”

"The Cadia fleet, the Karissis fleet, the Bellisco Corona fleet, the Sun fleet......" Ryan said, "These Imperial navies will be led into battle by Admiral Quaron." ”

Due to the Horus Rebellion and other factors, the number of warships in the Imperial Navy was not very large, and the Empire's large territory made it difficult to assemble fleets scattered in various places.

While the expedition to the Eye of Dread is the largest war in 10,000 years, protracted wars are still raging throughout the Empire and across the galaxy, and the Empire is in a state where it can't afford to take care of its head.

Qin Mo knew and understood these reasons and hardships, but he still inevitably felt that the number of warships invested by the Imperial Navy in this war was too small: "Plus the navy led by Quarun is only about 50,000 ships, is it that the Supreme Ministers are disobedient to you again?" ”

"Not really." Ryan shook his head, "The Imperial Navy warships assembled this time are all carefully selected, first of all, they must have combat experience, secondly, they must have never been boarded by the forces of Chaos, and secondly, they must have a long time of experience in operating and fighting with the new faster-than-light engine." ”

"Okay." Qin Mo could only express his understanding.

Then Ryan and Killiman talked a little more about the Army.

The most important of these is the massive deployment of the Army to the Eye of Fear.

Although the empire can invest less in the navy, it has more land forces, and considering that the Eye of Fear is more of a ghost planet that orbital bombardment is like fireworks, these army investments are extremely necessary.

Compared to the first wave of the Astral Army's mortal corps that were drawn to participate in the Golden Expedition, the army that was later drawn was not a formation, and it looked a bit scattered, but the number was definitely sufficient, and on the way to and from the Eye of Fear, joint exercises and training with other mortal corps were conducted.

Compared to the mortal corps, the transfer of the Space Marines warband was the most surprising to Qin Mo.

Nearly fifty warbands of Space Marines were drawn to participate in the expedition.

In addition, there are more than 20,000 original casts of Astarte.

The genetic seeds of these Astarte primordial Space Marines came from various loyal primordials, and the makeshift warbands formed by these Astartes were even equipped with more new dreadnought mechs.

"Kaul is here." "He brought with him twenty thousand Astartes, as well as a large number of Blackstones, and a fleet of the Order of Mechanics." ”

Ryan added: "The original Astarte he brought with him was all in stock. ”

"It's all made by Kaul?" Qin Mo smiled and shook his head, "Kaul can't solve the problem by making more original cast Astartes. ”

"Hahahaha, of course I can."

A heavy footstep sound reached Qin Mo's ears.

A large, sturdy figure dressed in a red robe slowly stepped onto the bridge.

"Long time no see, Lord of Tyrone."
