Hearing Calgar's words, smiles appeared on the mechanical faces of several Mechanicus sages, including Regula and Proyin.
Apparently, Calgar meant that they could use Vigilance as a testing ground for new weapons and equipment.
This is indeed good news for them.
The awakened Guilliman abandoned many old rules and allowed the Mechanicus to develop new war vehicles and new technical equipment without the STC standard construction template.
It can be expected that in the future, there will inevitably be many mechanical sages participating in the transformation and research and development.
Human technological creations will surely emerge like mushrooms after rain.
Mechanical sages will also undergo earth-shaking changes. Learning old knowledge is no longer enough for them to maintain their current superior status.
We must come up with sufficiently amazing scientific research results in order to stand out in the tide of the future; otherwise we will be eliminated by the times.
The meeting lasted a long time.
Calgar conducted a comprehensive analysis of Vigilance's current situation.
The Vigilant Star, a super-large subspace amplifier, allows demons to appear in the world continuously.
As time goes by, the number and power of demons will increase, and the Vigilance Star will gradually become more demonic.
The Human Empire possesses many new technologies and weapons, but that does not mean that Calgar and others can ignore those demons.
Calgar has no other choice now. He can only hold the alert star and try his best to prevent the situation from getting worse.
"Perhaps we should not just focus on Alert Star. There are other places that need our support." Anvil said, "The Nakmond Corridor spans the Great Rift. In addition to Alert Star, there is also Red Earth Star and many other worlds. If these worlds are controlled by Chaos, it will inevitably accelerate the disappearance of the Nakmond Corridor. By then, even if we reverse Alert Star, the Nakmond Corridor will not be able to reappear. For this reason, I suggest that the Human Empire control the worlds contained in the entire corridor as much as possible."
After hearing the words of the Eldar prophet, many officers started talking to each other.
Karga raised his eyebrows slightly, then nodded, "He makes sense. We must take control of this corridor."
At Anville's suggestion, Calgar and others incorporated the entire Nachmond Corridor into the overall strategy.
Soon, a large number of vanguard fleets and intelligence gathering personnel set out from the Alert Planet to check out other worlds.
A lot of information was collected by them.
It was delivered to high-ranking military commanders such as Calgar.
The Nakmund Corridor is one of the most strategically important locations in the Empire today.
Although this is a narrow passage on a galactic scale.
Yet it was still large enough to allow two Imperial fleets to pass through simultaneously without noticing each other.
A large number of planetary satellites and asteroid belts are wrapped in it.
However, the situation in the Nakmond Corridor is not easy to be optimistic.
Many of the worlds encompassed by this corridor had already escaped the control of the Empire before the Great Rift.
Countless lives live in the Nak'mond Corridor. Due to its special geographical location, it has become a gathering place for pirates, traitor mutants, criminal exiles and various aliens before the Great Rift.
Even without the fluctuations in the Warp energy and the numerous monsters, this is still an area that is hostile to the Empire.
Although there are many Imperial worlds that still remain loyal to the Empire, they are outnumbered and as weak as a candle in a long winter night.
After the Great Rift appeared, life became even more difficult for these loyalist worlds.
Many worlds will be hit by energy storms from time to time, and even under the influence of unpredictable warp tides, the worlds near the edge of the corridor will be intermittently completely submerged by violent warp storms.
This resulted in many worlds in the Nachmond Corridor falling into madness due to space pollution and demonic invasion.
Many Imperial ships were consumed by evil and an insatiable hunger.
Launched a savage attack on the crew inside.
Hundreds of warbands plunder the space tunnels, opportunistic Dark Eldar preying on the weak and the fearful, and Ork rogues seeking the biggest loot and the best fight.
The heretic Astartes established their own empire through terrible massacres, doing all kinds of terrible things to win the favor of the Power of Destruction.
Pirates from different races came here to conquer, enslave, trade and fight for the highest bidder.
Soon, Karga and others listed several worlds that needed special attention.
The first one is Red Earth. There is a large amount of black stone under its strata, which also forms an anti-subspace force field. Like the Alert Star, it is the key to the construction of the Nakmond Corridor.
If this world were also contaminated by the Black Stone Crown Ritual created by Chaos, the consequences would be disastrous.
By then, even if we find a way to reverse the alert star, I'm afraid there will be no way to open the corridor again.
For this reason, Chidi Star was listed as a first-level strategic target, with priority given to ensuring supplies and military forces in the region.
The second is the knight world of Darova, ruled by an ancient knight dynasty with the Mandecor Knight Family as the High King.
After the Great Rift, the Knight High King of the world of Darova became increasingly radical, and his loyalty to the Empire was slowly diminishing.
He believed that loyalty to the empire was no longer in the interests of his subjects.
Especially after news of Guilliman's various reforms in Ultramar came out, the other side cut off its ties with the Empire.
Those Imperial ships that attempted to pass through the Dalova system were attacked, resulting in heavy casualties.
After the civil war, some loyal knights left the world of Darova and came to the Vigilant Star to continue fighting alongside the Empire.
The world of Darova fell into the hands of the knights led by the High King. According to some escaped knights, the High King of Darova had betrayed humanity and joined Chaos.
In this situation, Calgar knew that he had to use thundering means to show the empire's attitude.
There are many people in the empire who have independent ideas.
The scary thing is that, thanks to the imperial system, they also have independent strength.
Now, with the Great Rift opening, the Imperium is in chaos.
Naturally, they are eager to take action.
If the suppression of the Darova world is not strong enough, it is very likely to cause a thousand waves and set off a chain reaction, accelerating those guys towards betrayal and independence.
Once the situation on Vigilance stabilizes or support from Terra arrives, Calgar will seize the opportunity to launch a counterattack on the world of Darova and bring it back under the control of the Empire.
In addition, there are some important strategic worlds and some worlds within the corridor that need support.
Karga and others conducted a comprehensive analysis and developed a complete strategic plan.
Try to preserve as many worlds in the Nachmond Corridor as possible, and even if they are inevitably cut off by the Great Rift, evacuate the many civilians loyal to the Empire to safe worlds.
The Nakmond Corridor is destined to be a long and arduous struggle.
Calgar knew that he had let Guilliman down by failing to hold the Nachmund Corridor.
But he must minimize the harm caused by the Blackstone Crown Ritual, and even find a way to reshape the Nakmond Corridor. Only in this way can he atone for his sins.

Far East Star Region.
This is the territory where the empire's control is weakest.
This is also where the Tau Empire rose.
Compared with the huge empire, the Thai Empire was still an extremely weak alien force.
However, the Tau Empire can now be considered a rising star in the galactic civilization.
So far, they have made several expansions, reaching a territory of one percent of the empire.
Compared with other alien civilizations, it is a very powerful civilization.
If nothing unexpected happens, they may really have the possibility of replacing the human empire.
Compared to the human empire which is constantly infighting, the Tau Empire is united and very studious. Even if it is a race they conquer, they will sincerely learn the knowledge and advantages of the other party. If possible, they will also accept those races as their vassals.
For this reason, the Tau also consider themselves to be the destiny of the galaxy and often promote themselves as such.
However, the battle in the Havers galaxy made the arrogant Tau Empire realize that the human empire's ability to stand in the dark universe was not a fluke.
They have a powerful enough army and terrifying technological power.
In the past, these forces were suppressed.
The top leaders of the empire will not allow those forces to emerge, let alone those technological forces to get out of control. They must be controlled within a certain scale and designated path.
But a resurrected king lifted these restrictions, allowing the human empire to regain vitality.
The human empire is like a towering tree that has passed the winter. It looks rotten, dilapidated, and on the verge of collapse.
However, its roots and essence remain unchanged.
Human beings are a greedy race, an intelligent race, and a race that despises everything.
They are smart, full of desires, and possess all the evil nature of the devil, but they are loyal, brave and fearless enough.
When it is suppressed, it is as soft as a harmless sheep, but once it releases its nature, its terrible side is revealed.
The Battle of Havers was a disastrous defeat.
The Tau Empire was completely crushed both tactically and technologically.
The life or death of an ether is unknown.
Many elite commanders of the Tau Empire were killed.
This is a huge loss.
It was also a heavy blow to the Tau Empire.
When the news reached the Tau Empire, countless Tau people clamored for revenge.
We must let humans know how powerful the Titanium Lords are, and let them taste the invincible iron fist of the Titanium Empire.
However, humans took the lead.
The massive fleet crossed the Damocles Buffer Zone and began its assault on the home world of the Tau Empire.
But the Tau Empire is fearless. They want to make humanity suffer a bloody defeat once again in Damocles.
The confidence of the Tau is not their arrogance.
Rather, their past battle records convinced them that they could defeat humans.
It was like the first Battle of Damocles.
During the third expansion of the Tau Empire, humans and the Tau Empire came into direct conflict.
It was a disaster for the human empire.
The Imperial army, exhausted by the Zerg, rushed from one battlefield to another.
However, the local world had betrayed the Empire, making it impossible for them to build enough defenses and obtain enough supplies.
The Imperial commanders at the time were unaware of the emerging threat posed by the Tau Empire.
Consider them to be insignificant aliens.
Due to the accumulation of various unfavorable conditions, the empire suffered greatly in the Battle of Damocles.
Finally they had to acknowledge the power of the Tau Empire and face up to the threat.
Later, the resurgence of the Zerg threat forced the Empire to abandon that extremely disastrous expedition, withdraw from the Battle of Damocles, and burn many worlds controlled by the Tau Empire, creating a very large buffer zone.
The Battle of Damocles was undoubtedly a disastrous failure.
A large number of Astra Militarum troops were abandoned, huge amounts of armaments were left behind, and even the Space Marines suffered heavy casualties.
Many worlds betrayed the empire, causing the expeditionary force to be attacked from all sides.
Many commanders of the Tau Empire felt that they could repeat the glory of the Battle of Damocles and send humanity packing.
The Star Tide Hub is an important technological device newly developed by the Tau Empire for use in subspace navigation.
It is huge, like a giant space station, helping warships open the subspace entrance so that they can quickly connect the two places.
Of course, this technological device also brings certain consequences.
The fourth expansion fleet suffered heavy casualties due to the Star Tide Nexus, but the surviving Tau revealed an important piece of information.
With the continued belief of the Tau Empire, a being of the Greater Good was born in the Warp.
Although it is still weak, its power should not be underestimated.
It helped the Fourth Expansion Fleet escape the madness of the Warp, and helped the Tau Empire establish stable passages through the chaotic Warp, allowing them to travel to the Dark Side of the Empire and to travel between worlds within the Tau Empire much faster than before.
The appearance of this sub-space being of the Greater Good caused panic among the top leaders.
Many Tau high-ranking believe that it was the worship of vassal races, especially humans, that led to the creation of the Greater Good.
Especially those in the fourth expansion fleet, they believed it firmly.
They also massacred the vassal forces of the Fourth Expansion Fleet, but were eventually ordered to stop by the Aethers, and to keep the matter secret, continue to maintain their faith in the Greater Good, and continue to unite the entire Tau Empire.
With the decisions made by the Ethers, the panic slowly disappeared, the Tau gradually accepted the existence of the Greater Good, and the fleets of the Tau Empire also sailed in those stable warp channels, sailing quickly in the interstellar space.
With the acquisition of more superior FTL technology, the confidence of the Tau Empire grew even more.
The Battle of Havers was a manifestation of this inflated confidence.
It's a pity that it failed.
But the Titanium people did not think that they were inferior to humans, they were just caught off guard.
Now, many high-ranking officials of the Tau Empire have put aside their contempt and are ready to take it seriously.
“Here they come.”
In the Star Tide Hub, a Tau scientist from the Qi clan looked at the flickering screen in front of him, with countless symbols appearing on it.
The human empire crossed the vast interstellar distance and arrived at the Damocles buffer zone, heralding the beginning of a battle.
