Chapter 922: Lawbreakers
There were objective reasons why Martins was unable to bring sufficient troops.
The Disaster Fleet was huge, and a large number of human warships were still on the way to support it. It would take at least several days for them to arrive one after another. Before that, the human fleet was not strong enough to compete with the Disaster Fleet for the remaining part of the planet's orbital area.
The location of the church is naturally below the orbital space controlled by the Disaster Fleet, on the other side of the human fleet.
It's totally normal.
If their goal was the coffin in the tomb under the church, then when they occupied the orbital space of Papalil, they would naturally choose to occupy a specific space. However, before this, humans did not know their goal and did not fight for it, and now there is no chance to fight for it.
It would be very convenient for the Chaos Army to replenish its troops on the ground; they could just airdrop and be done with it.
But it was difficult for Martins to come down this time.
He couldn't lead his troops to parachute directly to the combat zone, so he could only land on the other side of the planet. Then, he would take a fighter plane or a transport plane across almost half of the planet to fly to this side.
It takes a bit of time in between.
Moreover, large landing transport ships are not easy to use. Their penetration capability is average, not to mention long-distance flight in the planet's atmosphere. During the flight, they are easily shot down by the anti-aircraft firepower of the Chaos rebels who have occupied more than 85% of the planet's surface. At the same time, because the target is too large, it will also be directly threatened by the Chaos warships in orbit.
If one ship is lost, at least an entire division will be wiped out, which is a huge loss.
At most, we can only use some large transport aircraft.
It can accommodate almost a light infantry battalion.
And more are the conventional Feng Falcon, Qilin and Dragon Elephant fighters.
Under the premise of ensuring basic combat effectiveness, the load of these fighters is about 6, 20, and 60 people respectively. A Dragon Elephant fighter can fit a tank, but basically after putting the tank crew in, it can't fit more.
This still requires the removal of some weapons and equipment, reducing ammunition, and not carrying missiles, which will seriously affect the combat capability of the fighter.
Under such conditions, the number of soldiers who can follow Martins to the battlefield to support him is destined to be not too many.
And if you want to strive to have an effect that affects the outcome of the battle, then of course you need to be elite enough.
In addition to an airborne brigade, there were also a full thousand Space Marines who came along!
There were five companies of Phoenixes, and the other five companies came from several other different regiments - including two companies of Banyan Lizards, and twenty Yulin soldiers who served as his bodyguards.
Thousands of Space Marines are the core combat force.
Moreover, the airborne brigade was no weakling. Almost all of them were elite soldiers in the army, well-equipped and well-trained.
At the same time, in order to fight against chaos enemies, they are also equipped with a special psychic force - the Spellbreaker Corps.
This is a legion established under the Psychic Order.
Speaking of the Psychic Order, after Gu Hang took on the role of Grand Master of the Psychic Order, a vigorous reform began. The current Psychic Order, at least the Psychic Order within the Alliance, is no longer like a sidewalk as it was before. In addition to the registration and management of psychics undertaken by the Order itself, the Psychic Colleges established in various places are basically planned to be under the management of the Psychic Order.
At the same time, the Psychic Order also recruited psychic experts from all walks of life to send them out for work. Whether psychic power is used for military or civilian purposes, they will record and manage it.
This has greatly alleviated the situation of the Psychic Order being ignored and powerless in the past. Although the Psychic Order will not be able to "manage all psychic affairs" as their original rules and regulations, the precise jurisdiction left after such unrealistic things are thrown away is more important.
Registration, management and research of psychic energy.
In the civilian field, for example, cooperating with the authorities to contact experts to conduct psychic crime investigations, and some industrial operations that require psychic power to help improve efficiency are also included in this category.
As for the military aspect, it directly participated in the construction of two psychic forces.
Needless to say, the Storm Mage Corps did not need to be established by the Psionic Order. It was established by Gu Hang a long time ago. Moreover, rather than saying that the Psionic Order is now managing the Storm Mage Corps, it is better to say that the Storm Mage Corps has been reincarnated into the Psionic Order. At present, many positions in the Psionic Order at all levels of the Alliance are taken up by the archmages of the Storm Mage Corps; many qualified psychics of the old Psionic Order have also been absorbed into the Storm Mage Corps, or sent to teach at the Psionic Academy, or hired by civil affairs, and then registered with the Psionic Order...
As for the other force, it is the 'Lawbreaker Corps' that is currently following Martins.
As the name suggests, this is a military unit specifically designed to counter psykers and the warp.
They were actually established many years ago. The history can be traced back to at least a hundred years ago - that was before the Dark Side Crusade began, and even before the Scarlet Scar appeared.
However, the construction of this unit is still very difficult, and it has always been in the state of an experimental unit. Anti-psychic and anti-subspace units require finding a special kind of talent.
If we say that the essence of a psychic is that he is a "gifted" person, he can contact the subspace more sensitively, and release the power of the subspace into the real universe through his own "funnel", and control it to form psychic power.
Then, there are also people who are completely impervious. These "impervious" are completely insulated from the subspace. Not only are they not affected by psychic energy themselves, they can even spread this insulation outward, achieving the effect of suppressing the subspace connection of an entire area.
what does that mean?
As long as they are within their range of influence, not only will psykers be unable to cast spells, but Warp demons will even be directly expelled from the real universe!
This is a very powerful unit.
But unfortunately, their number is even smaller than that of the top talented psychics.
So far, the Alliance has only found less than a thousand "unmissable ones".
If it really doesn't work, then this is the only option.
It's not to the extent of 'no leakage', but at least it's enough for an 'insensitive person' who is quite insensitive to psychic energy, so it can be used barely.
After undergoing professional military training and anti-psychic technology training, these people together formed the Law Breakers Corps.
And now, the group of law breakers consisting of ten no-leakage ones and six hundred insensitive ones brought by Martins is his other killer move.
