Chapter 845, Brotherhood
Batchelor looked at the troops coming down from the transport plane, opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
Is this still the 'Iron-Fisted Ambassador' he is familiar with?
Batchel is the Chapter Master of the Steel Butchers. Their Chapter is descended from the Punisher Legion, and their home planet is located in the Forward Universe.
The Iron Fist Ambassadors have a very good relationship with the Steel Bone Butcher, because the Iron Fist Ambassadors's regiment is also a sub-group of the Punisher Legion. The relationship between the two sides is quite good, not only because they are both sub-groups of the Punisher and are connected by blood, but also because of another reason.
The Iron Fist Ambassadors are a fleet-based regiment. Their main activity area is roughly around the Forward Space Domain and the Magre Space Domain.
Just like any other fleet-based regiment, they mainly rely on the spoils of war, war commissions, and rewards from the empire after completing their war objectives...
But it was obvious that it was difficult for ordinary fleet-based regiments to achieve the same level as the Black Crusaders. The Iron-fisted Ambassadors did not have such a great background and their lives were not very good.
In this not-so-smooth fleet-based regiment operation, there was another brother regiment that provided them with considerable help, that was the Steel Butcher.
The two sides have the same bloodline, and the Steel Bone Butcher, who has a relatively good recruitment world, has provided a lot of help to the Iron Fist Ambassador of the Fleet-Based Warship, who is not living a comfortable life. From recruiting soldiers to equipment replenishment, and when encountering some difficult tasks, the two sides invite each other and will fight side by side.
In this sense, Steel Butcher is the 'beneficiary' of Iron Fist Ambassador. Steel Butcher has helped Iron Fist Ambassador a lot, and of course, Iron Fist Ambassador is also very loyal, and will arrive in time to fight with them when Steel Butcher encounters some difficulties.
The two regiments with common blood help each other and have a very close relationship.
Of course, in this kind of mutual assistance, the Steel Butcher is the relatively strong party, the helper, and the leader; in contrast, the Iron-Fisted Ambassador is the one being helped, and the subordinate party.
This relationship was not interrupted until the catastrophe occurred.
When information and navigation were cut off due to the catastrophe, the two sides were unable to contact each other.
For a long time, Batchelor was very worried about the situation of the brother regiment.
In fact, the situation of the Cyborg Butcher and his men was not very good. They were cut off from external support, there was a rebellion among the mortals, and they also encountered an invasion by a group of green-skinned orcs. After they had finally repelled them and established contact with the outside world, they encountered the major events in Omgiria.
They were lucky. When the first batch of wars broke out in Ohmgeria, they had not yet sent out their troops, thus avoiding the worst first batch of battles where all the troops were annihilated. However, when the greenskin army inside Ohmgeria subsequently overflowed and threatened the outside world, the Steel Butcher put a lot of effort into fighting these enemies.
They suffered heavy losses in the war that lasted for many years, but due to the impact of the catastrophe, their blood replenishment was not smooth, and recently, they only had more than 400 soldiers left.
However, Batchelor was actually more worried about the strong-handed ambassador.
It's already difficult on my side, but as the iron-fisted ambassador of the fleet-based regiment, the situation will probably be even worse.
At the time of the Cataclysm, as far as Batchelor knew, the last news of the Brotherhood was that they had accepted a request for assistance from a planet in the Magre space where there was a serious rebellion.
At that time, the Iron Fist Ambassador had only more than 400 soldiers, and their equipment was not ideal.
It was hard for Batchelor to imagine how the iron-fisted ambassador, who was in the middle of a war, would be able to break the deadlock when he was suddenly cut off from all contact with the outside world, unable to replenish his personnel or equipment, and still on the battlefield.
Even if they could rely on their own military strength to solve the problem of that planet, what would the Iron-Fisted Ambassador do in the subsequent disaster era when demons and monsters were rampant?
Even the Steel Butcher, who has his own home planet and was in a much better condition than the Iron Fist Ambassador before the Age of Cataclysm, had a hard life, let alone the Iron Fist Ambassador who had no foundation at all.
However, soon Batchel had no time to think about the Brotherhood, because the wars they had to face and the challenges their star field was facing from the green-skinned orcs were becoming increasingly severe.
The situation did not improve until the alliance's troops arrived around Omgeria and provided a backbone.
At this time, Bachelor learned the latest news about his brother regiment: when the Dark Side Expedition reached the Magre Universe, the Alliance contacted Ambassador Iron Fist and rescued them. At present, Ambassador Iron Fist joined the Alliance even earlier than Cyborg Butcher.
While joining Taishichen's forces to deal with the crisis in Omgilia, he also found time to inquire about the Iron-Fisted Ambassador's condition.
The information he received was that after being rescued by the Alliance, Ambassador Iron Fist had received support and funding from the Alliance, and was in the process of replenishing his troops and recuperating, waiting to arrange tasks after the battle group had recovered.
However, Batchelor did not expect that the time when he would meet his brother regiment again and fight side by side once again would come so soon.
After the Alliance formulated a grand strategy to attack Omgeria, Cyborg Butcher of course followed suit and participated in a series of preliminary wars. Recently, he took on a new mission: attacking the planet Syrfeng.
The planet was inhabited by a large number of green-skinned orcs, and it could even be said that it served as an important logistics base in the decisive battle between the Zerg and the green-skinned. The "green-skinned farms" there hatched countless green-skinned creatures every day, and then transported them to the front line to participate in the war.
Such an important place naturally has a large number of greenskin troops stationed there, and it is a target that can only be conquered with the participation of Space Marines.
This time, Batchelor brought in only 270 steel-bone butcher warriors. Even if all of them were deployed, plus the Alliance Army's troops, it would be difficult to complete the mission objectives.
When they were trying to break through to the surface but progress was difficult, he reported the battle situation to the headquarters.
The alliance also decisively sent reinforcements.
That was a regiment sent from the Magre universe along with Governor Gu, from the main force of the so-called Western Expeditionary Force.
It was Batchelor’s old friend, the Iron Fist Ambassadors!
Batchelor was quite shocked when he saw the warriors with iron-gray paint and orange-red arms walking down from the transport ship one by one.
In his eyes, these brothers in the regiment seemed so familiar yet strange.
The familiarity lies in their paint.
The strangeness was that he didn't seem to know these people. There were a thousand Space Marines, which was definitely not the number of troops that the Iron Fist Ambassador should have. The armor they wore was not the most common Skyhawk type that the Iron Fist Ambassador had worn, but the more rare and expensive Majestic type. The more conventional combat weapons of the Space Marines, such as chainswords, chainsaw axes, and bolt guns, were very complete, and at the same time, the number of more advanced power weapons, plasma guns, and Terminator armors was also quite sufficient.
Not to mention some of the "little items" on these warriors. Those blessed marks of purity, sacred emblems; those heavy vehicle armors carried by the mortal auxiliary forces that cooperate with the Space Marines...
These things seemed so strange to Butcher's eyes.
Is this the equipment that the old brother he knows who is as poor as a ghost should have?
How come there are so many of them?
Bachelor knew that this was funding and support from the Alliance. But how much money would it cost? ? Could it provide this much support?
He even had some vague doubts in his heart.
But these doubts were largely dispelled after meeting old friends.
That was the Chapter Master of the Iron Fist Ambassador, Owe. The two of them had a friendship of more than 140 years. When they were not yet Chapter Masters, they had represented their respective Chapters in swordfights and fought side by side on the battlefield of life and death, forming a deep friendship. After they both became Chapter Masters, they promoted further cooperation between the two Chapters, and the friendship of mutual assistance was established between the two of them.
Now, when old friends meet again, it is inevitable that their friendship is deep.
The burly Owei walked down from the transport ship, saw Batchelor, took off his helmet, and walked towards him laughing.
Batchelor recognized his old friend, put aside any doubts in his heart, opened his arms and walked up to him, and the two of them gave each other a deep hug.
"I didn't expect to be able to fight alongside you again so soon, Brother Butcher."
"I didn't expect that either." Bachelor hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but said, "You guys are in very good condition now."
"Yes, thanks to the alliance." Ou Wei's words were filled with emotion and relief that could not be concealed.
He briefly told Batchelor what had happened.
The Iron-Fisted Ambassador was really close to being wiped out. After the Cataclysm, at their worst, their total force was less than a hundred.
But the arrival of the alliance changed their fate.
Not only did they save their remnant army from a dangerous situation, but after they signed an agreement to join the Dark Crusade and were willing to fully accept the management of the Dark Space Marine Association, they received the full support of the Alliance.
Equipment and other things are easy to deal with, it's nothing more than a matter of productivity and resources. The wealth of the Alliance is something that they, who are far away, have heard of before the Cataclysm.
The most important thing is the new recruits.
The Iron Fist Ambassador handed over all of his gene seed bank, which actually only had more than 400 seeds in total. But the Alliance, in less than two years, added more than 900 warriors to them, directly bringing them to full strength.
Ou Wei was also greatly shocked, and even doubted: Even if the training level of your new blood center is very high, and the success rate of the operation is 100%, I have only given your alliance more than 400 seeds in total, where are you going to give me 900 soldiers? Where did the extra 500 seeds come from?
The Space Marine Management Association gave a clear answer to this question: As a high lord, Gu Hang kept a part of the Space Marine gene seed bank. The seed types in this general bank were diverse, and the extra Space Marines used the Punisher gene seed, which had the same roots and bloodline as the Iron Fist Ambassador.
If the war group has any doubts, they can screen it themselves to see if they are all the same seeds.
The Iron-Fisted Ambassador will certainly investigate, and the Alliance's frank attitude almost determines the final result: it will be exactly the same.
What else is there to say?
My only emotion towards the alliance is gratitude.
We can proactively provide such comprehensive support, from gene seeds to recruits to equipment, a one-stop service.
In the past, if the empire said that its own regiment was about to be finished, and asked the imperial center to take out some of the gene seed taxes that had been paid in the past to fill the shortage of the regiment, it would be an extremely difficult thing. Without a deep background and undisputed great merit, don't even think about it.
At this point, Owei patted Bachelor's shoulder with emotion and said, "You have had a difficult time these days, but it doesn't matter. When the war is over, no matter how great the losses are, they will be made up under the leadership of the Alliance. The Steel Butcher will also recover to the level of the most prosperous period of the regiment, just like us. In the future, our two regiments will have countless opportunities to fight side by side!"
