Chapter 71 Support, Black Lion Legion
Just as everyone was still wondering, the dragon bone's code number was transmitted through the Star Speaker's calibration.
This has been confirmed to be a warship belonging to the Empire.
Before anyone could react, a communication request was received.
The people present looked at each other in bewilderment.
After a moment's thought, Cage said, "Bring him in!"
The next second, the holographic image unfolds.
An ordinary yet resolute human face appeared on the holographic screen, along with the clothing he was wearing.
Ceramic Steel Power Armor!
The Ultimate Mark Power Armor, and its color is a dark green.
This alone tells us the basic origins of this warband.
"We are the Black Lions!" The man's first words silenced Cage.
The other ordinary people and officers, including Tie Hui, were completely bewildered.
When did the Empire ever have this chapter?
Seeing the silence on everyone's faces, the man continued, "I am Chapter Commander Monkar Gaz. Thanks to the Emperor's blessing, our fleet encountered a warp storm while on a mission. Some time ago, we saw the Emperor's immense power shining in this area of the warp, which allowed us to escape the warp's maze. We now need to dock for resupply, inspect the fleet, and update our logs."
Cage fell completely silent, as did Tie Hui, and everyone in the command room fell silent.
Tie Hui turned his head and looked at Cage with a puzzled expression, his eyes filled with questions and curiosity.
This silent scene made the battle commander uneasy.
He was aware of the characteristics of subspace.
Seeing the silence of the group opposite him, he panicked even more and hurriedly asked, "What time is it now?"
"156.M42"
One of them slowly spoke.
Upon hearing these words, Moncal Gaz immediately felt dizzy and nearly collapsed.
Fortunately, his companions behind him caught him in time.
Monkar Gaz felt utterly devastated. They had assumed that their comrades on the escaped frigate had found the Empire and rescued them.
That's why they were able to return to the real universe guided by the Emperor's Light.
Who the hell could have imagined that all of this was purely coincidental and accidental? It's been almost 1 years.
The company commanders behind him almost fainted when they heard the news.
1 years!
Who would have thought that one could travel for 1 years in the subspace?
According to their timing data, it's only been a little over a year in total.
They thought they were heading to the Ghoul Starfield, which explained the long journey.
Who the hell would have thought it would still be in the Hazy Starfield?
Even Moncal Gazi believed that Astartes was overwhelmed by the news.
After a long while, he said wearily, "Brother, could you perhaps connect the information from the past 1 years?"
Cage nodded. He knew about most of the Empire's public and official news, and almost every world or fleet connected to the Empire had backups of it.
So, with just one data transmission, Moncal Gaz and the others experienced another collective fainting spell.
Tie Hui looked at Monkar Gaz on the screen, and the many panicked Astartes behind him.
He leaned close to Cage and whispered, "Is the Black Lions band very famous?"
He genuinely didn't know about this warband.
Cage nodded. "I don't know much about this chapter either, just from some documents. The parent chapter is the Dark Angels Legion. They were swallowed by a warp storm during the 500-600.M32 period while on a mission, with only one escort ship escaping with 17 survivors. Then the Imperium unilaterally declared their chapter completely annihilated. That's all I know; I don't know anything else."
After briefly explaining the general information he knew, Cage shrugged and shook his head.
Tie Hui nodded to indicate that he understood; he didn't know much about these things, just the general idea was enough.
"Can they support us now?" Tie Hui was most concerned about the situation on the planet Volda below.
Cage shook his head: "That's hard to say."
After all, now that the Black Lions know about the Empire's nearly 1-year history, one wonders what they will think.
The holographic screen continued playing, clearly indicating that the other side had forgotten to turn it off.
As Tie Hui and his group watched Monkar Gaz and the others examine the data, their expressions shifted from sadness and heartbreak to deep regret and then to radiant joy and high spirits.
Tie Hui couldn't help but complain, "It's like watching videos on a computer!"
It took Moncal Ghazi a while to finish reading the materials.
He took a few deep breaths to calm his turbulent emotions and said with a smile, "So, brother, when I arrived here, I found your fleet in a defensive and evacuation posture. May I ask what happened? Do you need our battle group's assistance?"
Cage nodded and immediately recounted everything that had happened in this star system.
However, he only briefly mentioned Tie Hui and was unwilling to elaborate.
Monkar Gaz immediately nodded in agreement, saying, "Alright, our chapter still has over 900 men. That's enough to clear the Chaos invasion from the planet below!"
Cage nodded in agreement, and then confidently handed over the fleet's command channel and command hierarchy.
The opponent was a chapter commander, and a chapter commander from nearly 1 years ago.
They are higher than me in both position and seniority.
Why am I so at ease?
That's because the Star Speakers gave a very safe warning after the Black Lions appeared.
It even subtly suggests that this battle group might be a backup plan arranged by the God Emperor.
Moreover, Tie Hui said there was nothing unusual, so he felt relieved and handed over command.
Moncal Gaz took a few deep breaths the moment he took command.
For now, we can only resolve the trouble here and then return to the Dark Angels' Tower, also known as the Stone Fortress, to report.
With this in mind, he put aside his jumbled thoughts.
He then began issuing orders: "All fleets are merged, their codes are unified, and all command channels except the fleet channels are silenced."
Moncal Gaz proved to be a veteran; under his command, the two fleets, comprising over 50 warships, quickly formed a complete fleet and deployed it over the planet of Volda.
Meanwhile, Moncal Gaz began preparations for an orbital airborne operation, now was the time when he had a large and capable force.
He'll just drop the airships right away, and send out hundreds of Astartes. He doesn't believe he can't find that Chaos Mage.
Cage and Ironfellow exchanged glances, then accepted the order and headed to the Thunderhawk gunboat.
From the moment the two fleets converged to the moment they prepared for the orbital drop, it took only a dozen or so Terran minutes.
Then, fire rain began to fall from the sky over the world of Volda.
The cunning sorcerer gritted his teeth as he looked at the scene in the sky.
