Count Tatier put his body in a sturdy heraldic machine and stood on the ground of the fortress like a gorgeous sculpture.
With the current strength of the Knight Commander, the heraldic machine can no longer add combat effectiveness. It can at most provide a certain protection and survival effect. However, Count Tatier is after all a knight and a model soldier. For him,
He said that the heraldic machine served as a uniform. More importantly, when the entire Panzer Grenadier battalion was wiped out and the four Astral Knights died without any corpses, he needed to keep the people alive even more.
The ordinary soldiers saw that the knight captain with god-like power was acting with them.
Therefore, Count Tatier not only put on the heraldic machine that he had not used for ten years, he even tattooed a very gorgeous ribbon on his armor, and used a gold fastener supported by a special material to fix an inlaid
A long cloak with a personal coat of arms. A huge flag was erected on the back of the armor, with the logo of the Astral Knights and the military emblem of the empire painted on it.
The Lord Knight of the dignified Astral Knights dresses himself up like an exaggerated mascot, but as long as he accepts this setting, the overall effect is still very good.
As long as the soldiers of the stormtroopers saw the gorgeous and over-the-top appearance of the Knight Commander, they felt inspired. It was as if they couldn't feel any pain or fear, and they only knew how to move forward bravely. So, this time, they paid more efforts.
Although there were many casualties, it still caused a lot of damage to the enemy.
As a result, the entire front finally began to slowly advance toward the interior of the fortress.
Count Tatier looked down at an enemy corpse lying in front of him. From the appearance, this seemed to be a very ordinary Wulfling man, wearing a space anti-ship suit and mask, and even a decent suit.
There is no power armor.
However, such a person just rushed in front of the grenadiers carrying dozens of rounds of bullets, and was then stabbed through by seven or eight melted bayonets.
But even so, before the Wulfling lost the ability to move, he still used a carbon tomahawk to chop off the helmet-covered head of a grenadier.
There is no psychic energy fluctuation in this guy's body. An ordinary Wulfling should not have such strong physical strength, nor should he be hit by a bullet, but the gods should have a metal-like collision.
"This is a prosthetic man. We were fighting this thing just now." An officer wearing power armor squatted down next to the corpse and used a small laser cutter protruding from the arm armor to cut open the Wulfling man's face.
The fur revealed a layer of armor plate, and then the torso was torn open, and a large series of mechanical parts that smelled of blood were taken out from behind the broken organs.
This person's name is Lieutenant Colonel Ernst Metig, a young and promising young officer, a very insightful military engineer, and currently serving as the assistant to the Knight Commander's adjutant.
Count Tatier pondered for a moment: "The Serpents of the World are a bunch of wanton evil people, so it's not surprising that they would commit such blasphemous acts. But Ernst, I don't know that there can be so many prosthetics.
Can be turned into cannon fodder."
"...There are two types of prosthetic people, those who still regard themselves as human beings, and those who are about to become robots. These people are the latter."
He took out a chip about the size of a fingernail from the mechanical parts: "This kind of neural chip is the important connection between limbs and organs and mechanical dynamics. There are not many countries and organizations with this kind of technical capabilities."
"So, you don't think this chip is directly produced by World Snake?"
"Of course we can't rule this out. However, the process conditions for this thing are relatively complex, and the materials and production environment are also very demanding. Even if the World Snake has mastered many secret factories and secret strongholds, there should be something more important.
Production must be prioritized.”
Count Tatier nodded: "So, it is the Iron Army Complex?"
"...Actually, the Alliance and the Empire are also okay."
The Earl thought: "So, the data for coordinating the robot factory was completely taken over by Feilin Laboratory. Moreover, they have always had business dealings with Tiejun in this area..."
Lieutenant Colonel Maytig hurriedly said: "More evidence is needed. There must be relevant information in this fortress."
He opened another holographic fortress structure diagram and reported: "Your Excellency, we have occupied the crossroads of the A72 area. The 3rd Grenadier Company is conducting a search with a drone. The terrain environment here is consistent with what was obtained during the meeting.
The information does not match.”
The lieutenant colonel almost said, "This is an intelligence error by the alliance." However, he did not say it out loud after all, and seemed to be a very polite and fastidious person.
"What's the situation with the Alliance and the Community?" the knight asked.
"The Alliance is also trying to land, but three consecutive attacks have failed. It is said that 500 people were killed, as well as two inspectors." The young adjutant's voice was a bit sad, and he did not mean to gloat at all.
Of course, although the losses on the Empire's side were actually more than twice that of the Alliance, with four of the two Astral Knights dying, they were still killed inside the fortress anyway, which was much higher than the death of the other side on the outer layer of the armor plate.
Do you know where it went? From this perspective, the Empire is indeed qualified to laugh at the Alliance.
"...As for the community, I heard that even the temporary maintenance sheds for armored vehicles have been repaired. People from the Grand Marshal's Palace said that the troops under the Dragon of Dawn, the God's Chosen Champion, may not be good at fighting, but they must be good at civil engineering.
.This is truly a well-deserved reputation.”
The knight commander could tell that although the adjutant's words seemed to be a joke, there was a hint of doubt and solemnity in his tone, but there was no trace of ridicule or contempt.
Count Tatier was quite surprised. You must know that although his adjutant is young, he is also a top student at the Royal Naval Academy, and majors in staff planning and strategic research. Rather than being his adjutant, he is more
Chief of Staff, the Earl himself also values this non-psyker subordinate very highly.
"It seems that the civil engineering work is very useful?" the knight commander asked.
"Yes. Snake's attempts to regain the beachhead were beaten back several times, but it lost a lot of strength. This is indeed due to the fact that after the Earthlings landed, they did not advance rashly, but chose to defend on the spot, and even
Start building conservative tactics for civil engineering operations." Lieutenant Colonel Mei's tone contained a hint of regret.
"When you don't know the situation between ourselves and the enemy, perhaps you should choose more conservative tactics."
Count Tatiere grinned: "Ernst, are you preparing to accuse me of trespassing?"
"If we want to accuse, we can only blame ourselves. When our first batch of landing troops marched towards the interior of the important snake cave, the subordinate did not give any advice on this."
"This is the job of the chief of staff, not the adjutant. However, Ernst, I remember that when you were in school, you were a very offensive type! You have always believed that the best defense is offense." Tati
Count Ai continued to move forward while chatting with his adjutant in the headset.
"Xiaguan was too young and ignorant at that time," the adjutant said sheepishly.
"You are also very young now." The Count smiled.
"Fortunately, after serving in the army, Xianguan has access to all the cutting-edge military theories in the universe, including the work that has just been completed. As an imperial soldier, Xianguan has to point out that "The Theory of Defense Almighty" is a great military revolutionary work
.The Generalissimo's Office should not designate it as an internal journal that only a few people can read, but use it as a new textbook and send it to the military academy."
"The Theory of Omnipotent Defense? I've read that book too, and I just feel that the earth is really blessed with people. That young man is indeed a genius, but he never thought that his unbridled military theory could be seamlessly used in actual combat so quickly.
"The knight commander pondered: "Then what we say..."
"The conditions are different. The Earthlings tore apart the outer wall of the snake pit by bombing the weak points, and logged in directly to occupy the entire hangar. The width of the battlefield they control is not comparable to ours. Now if we consider retreating to defend, there is no space.
Let us use it." The adjutant paused: "Perhaps, we should not use the traditional way of attacking fortresses from the beginning."
"Very well, young man." Count Tatieri smiled: "I know now that you are indeed accusing me of trespassing."
"Your Excellency, if we don't dare to take the time, there is no need to worry too much." The adjutant said with a smile.
"I really want to take a leisurely stroll at any time, but now I can only do my best." The knight commander thought for a while and added: "Also, what action does King Valente have?"
"He has prepared his heraldic machine, is with his retainers and palace guards, and is also on standby in the stormtrooper camp. In fact, to tell you the truth, Your Excellency, I originally thought that King Wei was a pure scientist and
Civil servant. However, the eliteness of his palace guards exceeded my expectations."
"I know, and his two retainers are also experts." The Earl nodded: "Okay, then tell him that in 30 minutes, he can land with the fourth batch of troops. Just stay here.
Coordinate all subsequent landing units."
Lieutenant Colonel Ernst Metig knew that he was not the type to follow his superiors into battle, so he said "Follow the order", and then said: "However, Your Excellency, if we proceed according to our current strategy, after 30 minutes
, it’s not even enough for the planned second batch of troops to deploy, let alone the subsequent third and fourth batches.”
"Haha, I hope I can make the situation a little better."
The knight commander and his adjutant passed by, chatting on the headset, and continued to move forward, and soon came to a crossroads. At this time, his field of vision seemed to be wider, but only relatively speaking.
In fact, the three forks that separated in front of him were only five or six meters wide, and the height would never exceed four meters. Even if you entered them wearing a heraldry machine, you would feel extremely cramped and narrow.
It was in the small square inside the fortress formed by this fork that Count Tatier found Count Hronchi, who was over seventy years old, and two other elite knights with five rings.
"The two companies have begun exploratory attacks, but because the battlefield is too narrow, the troops cannot be deployed for the time being."
To put it bluntly, the attack is not progressing very smoothly.
Regarding the problem of being unable to deploy troops due to the narrow battlefield, he had heard it countless times today from various subordinates. At this time, even the knight commander would begin to feel a little regretful. However, Count Tatier also knew
, the biggest taboo among military strategists is not to make mistakes in judgment or to be reckless, but to regret something half done.
The potential risk of losing ground between snake and mouse is far higher than executing wrong tactics.
Count Tatier asked: "Where is the front passage?"
"It is full of powerful toxins and unstable high-explosive particles. We are temporarily unable to use heavy weapons and energy weapons. Moreover, we can feel a very obvious spiritual reaction deep in the corridor, which is much stronger than me." Veteran General
With a worried expression: "In my opinion, Your Excellency, this is actually a very obvious challenge to the honor of a psyker."
Count Tatier couldn't help but sneered: "Very good, he is quite clean. Do you know who he is?"
"An eredar elf." Knight A, who had eagle eyes and spiritual body detection, replied: "Wearing an alchemy armor and a double-headed machete. As for his strength... it is indeed unfathomable."
Knight B, who was holding the shield, added: "But, to us, you are also unfathomable."
"I didn't expect to hear flattery here." Knight Commander Tatier laughed loudly: "But gentlemen, does an upright snake who wants to issue an honorary challenge conform to the habits of a snake?"
"Maybe he doesn't want to win the battle, my squad leader. Maybe he just wants to divert attention." Count Heronqi said. This 78-year-old veteran used to be Count Taae's instructor. Of course.
Well, even if it doesn't matter, with his age, strength and qualifications, there is really no need to use honorifics all the time.
"Diversion of attention?" Tatier pondered: "What kind of diversion should this be?"
"I can't guess what the snake is thinking. However, the other party's unreasonable postures are all to confuse the audience. This should be common sense in the art of war." The veteran pondered for a moment and then said:
"Perhaps, such a powerful snake head needs to divert all our attention to him. This way, his companions can launch a counterattack through other paths... Yes, if they counterattack to the flagship, it will still be very dangerous.
.In our time period, only King Valente, his two retainers, and the navigator are psykers. As long as there is a master like the 'Hunter' who appeared in the New World Campaign or even 'now'
, the flagship will be very dangerous."
What the knight commander said made sense. If the operational issues were put aside, Snake might be able to reverse the situation by doing this, so he said to the two knights.
"What do you think about being here?"
"The robot is removing highly sensitive particles and poisonous gas, but it will take at least half an hour." Knight A said.
"Xiaguan has considered using high explosive energy to detonate the passage directly. It is impossible to collapse a passage and cause the structure of such a large fortress to become unbalanced. However, the opponent's snake head must have ulterior motives in adopting such a posture."
"So?" asked the Knight Commander.
"Either blow up the tunnel and see what happens, or wait for the results of the other two attacks. We can also go into battle."
The knight commander nodded and ordered: "Okay, in that case, you stay here and don't move around."
The three knights looked at each other and seemed to have guessed this. They stood at attention and tapped their chests with their fists.
Then, under the fascinated gazes of the Astral Knights and the Grenadier, the Knight Commander strode into the narrow corridor. He had just walked less than fifty meters when the heraldic machine's built-in AI emitted an
It reminded that the air does contain a large number of toxic chemicals and high-explosive particles that are fatal to the human body, and then a long list of red data was pulled out.
