Warhammer: From the Devouring C'tan Fragments

Chapter 156 Heroes Monument

"Yes, Captain Gray, we will complete your order perfectly." After receiving the order from Gray, Nak assured loudly in the communication channel.

Another captain also heard Gray's order on the communication channel, and both of them made solemn promises to Gray at the same time.

Two thousand Star Space Marines attacked the flagship of the Mechanicus together. If they still could not completely eliminate the Mechanicus personnel inside the battleship, Nak and the others would feel their own incompetence.

After contacting the personnel inside the battleship, Gray began to contact all the officers who led the boarding operation. The first one Gray contacted was Motuo.

Medog immediately answered the call from Gray: "Captain Gray."

"Medog, how's the situation over there?"

"I'm still in the middle of a battle here. The four Astartes regiments can't be dealt with so quickly. It will take some time to completely eliminate these pseudo-emperor's lackeys.

Although the leaders of these false emperor's lackeys have been beheaded, the Space Marines are still resisting stubbornly, and it will take some time to completely eliminate them."

In response to Gray's questions, Medog explained to Gray everything. The Second Company led by Medog faced four Astartes regiments, with more than 7,000 Star Space Marines fighting against more than 3,000 Astartes Space Marines, as well as countless servitors and crew members inside the battleship.

Although the Space Marines on the Medog side have the advantage in numbers and weapons and equipment, the Astartes Space Marines on the Empire's side are not a group of people who can be easily controlled.

These Space Marines will rely on their own advantages to continuously engage in bloody and brutal battles with the attacking Star Space Marines. Both sides will suffer heavy casualties, but in the end the Star Space Marines will have the upper hand.

Although the Star Marines are a group of new recruits, they are much stronger than the Astartes in terms of weapons and equipment as well as their physical fitness.

But anything can happen in battle. Battles cannot be compared based on paper data. As long as there is a battle, there will be a large number of casualties. However, the losses of these Star Warriors in the battle were all within the expectations of Medog and Gray.

"Very good. How are the casualties on your side?" Although Gray knew that there would be casualties among the Star Marines, he still couldn't help but ask.

"The casualties are not very large. The deaths and serious injuries combined are less than one-tenth." In response to Gray's inquiry, Motuo told Gray the information he had received in a deep voice.

Obviously, Motuo also felt sad about the casualties. Although the decision to launch the boarding operation was made by Motuo and Gray together to train the newly joined Star Space Marines, the casualties still made Motuo feel sad.

After hearing the detailed information from Medog, although Gray was mentally prepared, he still couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache. These people were slowly trained by him and the first batch of space warriors who joined the Lord of Stars.

Although the seriously injured can be rescued with the help of the medical equipment developed by the Lord of the Stars and become true elite veterans, the Space Marines who have already died cannot be rescued.

"Don't be sad. They sacrificed their lives for the great Lord of the Stars. This proves their unwavering faith. We should be happy for them."

When Gray heard Motuo's heavy words, he couldn't help but speak out to comfort Motuo.

Although Gray was trying to comfort Motuo, Motuo could still hear sadness in Gray's words. Obviously, what Gray said was not what he really thought in his heart. These people were cultivated by them together, and it was impossible for him to be indifferent to their sacrifice.

Although Medog had heard the sadness in Gray's words, he did not choose to expose Gray. Instead, he echoed Gray's words and said:

"Yes, they sacrificed themselves for the great Lord of the Stars. Their sacrifices were meaningful. We don't need to be sad. We should be happy for them."

"I will always remember the fallen brothers in battle, let them live in my heart, and their names will be engraved on the heroes' monument."

Gray put away the sadness in his heart and said to Motuo with a smile.

The Heroes' Monument is a tall building standing on the Recruit Training Star. The monument is engraved with the names and life stories of all those who sacrificed their lives for the great Star Lord and for the liberation of mankind.

A grand sacrificial ceremony is held every year at the location of the Heroes Monument to commemorate those who sacrificed their lives and to show that no one will forget their contributions.

As long as the monument to heroes remains there, future generations will continue to search for the figures of the heroes. If a force has forgotten the contributions of the heroes, then this force will not be far from collapse.

This is a situation that no one is willing to accept, so a huge hero monument was built on the recruit training planet to commemorate all those who sacrificed their lives for the cause of liberating humanity.

"Captain Medog, continue to attack the pseudo-emperor's lackeys. Make sure to eliminate all of them inside the warship. Don't leave any trace of trouble behind."

After calming down, Gray gave his orders to Motuo.

"Yes, Captain Gray, we will definitely clean out the Imperial lackeys inside the battleship."

Medog said solemnly to Gray.

Obviously, Motuo had no objection to completely clearing out the personnel inside the imperial warship. Since both sides were now completely hostile, it was normal to clear out all those on the other side who were unwilling to surrender. Only those who were willing to accept surrender would have a chance to survive.

After Gray hung up the call with Medog, he connected to Andrada's communication channel. When Andrada saw that the call was from Gray, he immediately agreed to Gray's call request.

As soon as the call was connected, Anrida immediately asked, "Captain Gray, how is the situation over there? Do you need help from the defense forces?"

Andrada thought that the Space Marines had encountered some trouble and needed to send a large number of defense soldiers to support the Space Marines in breaking through the defenses of the Mechanicus.

"Our attack is going smoothly and we don't need the help of the defense soldiers. I just came to ask your defense forces about the progress of the attack on the Imperial Fleet."

When Gray heard Andrada's concern, he couldn't help but explain. Gray didn't want the defense forces to mistakenly believe that the Space Marines' attack was not going well and they needed their help.
