Colonel Yeager Soback's strength is actually not high on this ship, but after all, he is the only active soldier of the empire who has participated in the boss battle of the God of War Festival.
His heroic appearance during the battle was seen by audiences across the galaxy.
When the cannonball he fired penetrated the Diamond Dragon Turtle, many people who were holding their breath finally felt relieved. More importantly, the colonel was the murderous demon whose name cannot be mentioned... ah no, that God's Chosen one
In front of the champion, his performance of not being afraid of life or death, neither being humble nor being arrogant has won him a lot of fans.
You know, the one whose name cannot even be mentioned, uh, the God's Chosen Champion, really single-handedly defeated the entire audience, and also killed two of the Four Heavenly Kings, as well as Earl Remmen, Sir Elda, etc.
A wise general and a strong hand. Many young astral knights carefully reviewed the scene at that time and felt that if it were them, facing that divinely chosen champion, they would have to do their best if they could hold back the trembling and stand upright.
However, although Colonel Soback was weak in strength, he was able to argue his case in front of that man and try his best to maintain the dignity of the Empire and the Knights. Based on this alone, his magnanimity is much greater than that of the rest of us.
In addition, his actual combat experience is indeed very rich, and it is indeed incomparable to the children of top wealthy families who grew up in the greenhouse. So, after everyone's unanimous decision, the colonel who originally just wanted to mess around with his qualifications in this exercise became
Inexplicably, he assumed the role of Shamaine's chief of staff.
Viscount Shameen really trusted this newcomer. He felt that the latter, who was a junior officer in the New World, should be able to bring something different to the stagnant Knights.
Faced with the reminder from the "Chief of Staff", Viscount Shameen explained in detail: "Admiral Farrell is a meticulous person and cannot leave us a big loophole. They will definitely deploy defenses on the Sarna planet.
Yes, but the number of knights that can be stationed here must be limited. The red side needs to attack our planet fortress group head-on, and it also needs extraordinary combat power."
"Yes, so they will definitely take all precautions to the extreme based on their limited strength. And since we are attacking by surprise, the time is actually on the other side." Colonel Soback hesitated for a moment, as if he had just made up his mind.
He made up his mind and said seriously: "Your Excellency, if the battle situation is unfavorable, we must have a second plan. Therefore, I have formulated a backup plan in the past few days, please review it."
After all, Colonel Soback graduated from a formal military academy, and he was considered a hard-working academic, and his staff work was very professional.
The plan he formulated is certainly not a genius idea. To put it bluntly, if our side fails to attack the enemy and cannot achieve a breakthrough within 48 hours, there is a possibility of being surrounded by enemy reinforcements and annihilated, and the side needs to evacuate immediately.
It's the battlefield. At that time, the fleet needs to leave the Sarna system and go to the DS-124 system beyond the three jump channels to stand by while the entire army repairs and looks for fighters.
This is an uninhabited galaxy, but it has a natural ice crystal asteroid belt where it can hide itself, and there are many available military resources there. To this day, there are still many unmanned mining machines in operation.
"Although d124 is an unmanned galaxy, its location is still important. It is located exactly in the center of the battlefield, so we can choose the target to attack based on the changes in the real-time battlefield."
Seeing that everyone had listened, he continued: "I have prepared a lot of production equipment in advance and have already sent it to the ship. The unmanned mining machines in the asteroid belt can also be used by us. Ship materials, energy packages and artillery shells
There will be no shortage of them, so we can continue fighting for a long time. As long as we still exist, we can constitute a natural deterrent to any tactical node of the red side, and even have the possibility of reversing the situation of the war. Existence is everything, everything
To exist!”
Strictly speaking, Sobek's words had a bit of a hint of unexpected victory and defeat, which is quite inconsistent with the aesthetics of the imperial army. For thousands of years, they have always implemented the principle of advancing without retreating, and always pursuing progress without retreating.
I am invincible. If I have an iron head, I will break through the universe's behavior.
Immediately at the scene, several young knights made dissatisfied scoldings. They did not understand the strategic wisdom of "existence is everything, and everything is for existence."
A flush flashed across Colonel Soback's face, and he secretly clenched his fists hidden under the table. He wanted to retaliate, but considering his family background and hard power, he was definitely not one of these people.
The opponent of the Young Faction still put on an impeccable business smile on his face and tilted his head slightly.
Anyway, when he was serving in the colony, he was often bullied by the larger leaders. This level of civility and self-cultivation are just basic skills.
He didn't speak. Since he couldn't retaliate, of course he didn't know what to say. However, in the eyes of several rational officers at the scene, he suddenly felt a bit of coolness and "those who know me say that I am worried".
Be magnanimous.
"Shut up! This is a military meeting! This is not some brothel where you get drunk, curse and fight!"
Viscount Shameen's prestige among the young knights has always existed. With a shout, these knights immediately shut up.
He expressed his apology to Colonel Soback with his eyes again, and then opened the other party's plan. As a fourth-ring psyker, he has a quick mind and can read things faster. He read more than a dozen books in a few minutes.
The plan is quite reasonable and can be used as a supplement to one's own combat plan.
However, this kind of method of protecting ships, avoiding battles, observing secretly and farming at the same time, always feels like I have encountered it somewhere.
"Did you...did you learn this from that person?" Viscount Shameen's expression was a little stiff.
Colonel Soback was silent for a few seconds, and then he spoke righteously, as if with some heavy consciousness: "That man's fighting method is indeed suitable for us now. If you have any questions, I'm willing to
Take all responsibility.”
"No, I'm not blaming you. It's not your turn to bear the responsibility." Viscount Shameen shook his head, a trace of shame flashed across his face: "Obviously I was the one who defeated him.
We should work harder to learn from all his strengths, but it is still difficult to overcome the mental obstacle. Sure enough, it is still due to my own lack of practice! Yeager, in terms of measurement, I am indeed not as good as you."
Soback looked at Shameen who was beginning to reflect on himself, and felt that he was almost blinded by the light of his noble soul.
The other party is obviously such a genius, but he still has such awareness and broadmindedness. It really makes ordinary people like me jealous even if they want to.
"Baron Soback, please don't restrain your wisdom in the future!"
I am a newcomer who has just joined, but I am so valued by the leader of the Four Heavenly Kings? Isn’t this appropriate for the future of the Knights? Colonel Soback felt that he could already see the ladder leading to the pinnacle of life, and he quickly took it.
The other person's hands were full of emotion and he said: "Just do what you want."
In this way, the small fleet carrying more than 200 astral knights changed its direction and began to sail towards the direction of the Sarna galaxy.
At this time, there are still four hours before the official start of the exercise. Most of the arrangements for the red and blue sides have actually been completed, and they are just waiting to start the first round of exploratory attacks.
Admiral Farrell, who was about to leave the Lion's Den Fortress aboard the Titan ship Aurora Goddess, the flagship of the red team, and rush to the frontline system. However, before boarding the ship, he was intercepted by another commander of the red team, the Knight of the Astral Knights.
Count Theodoro called out.
"Planet Sarna may be a flaw," the Knight Commander said.
"Yes, a fleet can bypass the frontal battlefield and directly attack the Lion's Den Fortress. However, in order to achieve the purpose of a surprise attack, the fleet must have a certain scale. I have arranged the gravity wells on both sides of the Sarna system in advance.
By destroying the mine group, they can delay their attack route." Admiral Farrell said.
In addition, the blue side is already at a disadvantage in terms of fleet. If it really uses a large fleet to conduct a detour and surprise attack, there will definitely be gaps in the frontal battlefield. Admiral Farrell is eager for the opponent to do this.
"What if it's a small fleet?" the knight commander asked again.
Admiral Farrier was startled for a moment, and then realized that the small fleet the other party was talking about must be referring to a surprise attack force composed of psykers. This was a bit of a headache. Admiral Farrier himself was not a psyker.
But he also knew that it was really difficult to estimate the combat effectiveness of these extraordinary beings using the common sense of mortals like me.
One or two hundred people train countless elite psychic warriors, and then equip them with heraldic machines. It is really possible to suppress a Titan ship, a giant planet fortress, or even an inhabitable planet with hundreds of millions of people and millions of garrison troops.
of.
"Tsk, that's really troublesome." The gray-haired, thin General Farrell pressed his temple: "However, when the exercise begins, our military strength will have a certain advantage. How can you conclude that,
Will the other side use their precious Astral Knights for such an uncertain surprise attack?"
Admiral Farrell did have some doubts.
You know, as the first knight commander of the Astral Knights, Count Theodoro has always been regarded as the candidate for the next leader, and he has never disappointed. But he has always played the role of
As the Imperial Double Red Stick, his personal strength is trustworthy, and he can indeed perfectly play the role of the patron saint in the minds of the people, but he has never shown any outstanding performance in the art of war.
The knight commander probably knew his shortcomings, but he didn't feel offended at all, so he said in a deep voice: "Because that person is in Sarna."
"that person?"
"Yes, that person! The newly elected champion that I personally invited." There was a self-deprecating smile on the knight commander's face: "My friend told me that he is on the Sarna planet now, and he is still
He chose it himself. If Sarna is not important, why did he choose it like this?"
"Ah, this..." Admiral Farrell wanted to laugh a little, thinking that if it were someone else who gave this reason, he would definitely think that the other person was playing a trick on him, and he would be dragged out and killed on the spot.
"That person may be the most dangerous enemy of the empire in the future, but I must also admit that this is also the most talented young man I have ever seen. Therefore, I am willing to believe in his intuition. The other party will definitely pass through the Sarna galaxy.
Launch a surprise attack on us." The count said. He then felt that he spoke too slowly and did not conform to his model of gentle and courteous knights, so he added: "At least, this possibility is very high! He is also psychic.
He will never miss the opportunity to learn about the performance of our heraldic machine and the tactics of the psykers at close range."
Isn't this a bit of a reverse effect? Although Admiral Farrell couldn't help but think so, he also knew that the metaphysical manifestations of psykers were not once or twice, so he would rather believe that this kind of thing is not true.
of.
However, Admiral Farrell still thought this situation was particularly funny, so he laughed frankly: "We people actually have to use the locations of members of foreign observation groups to formulate tactics? Is this considered cheating?"
"
"No, it's just making full use of our human resources." The knight commander said in a matter-of-fact tone.
This is the Astral Knight! The glorious and noble patron saint of the empire! I really can’t help but love you! Admiral Farrell suppressed laughter while quickly turning his head to calculate the current situation between us and the enemy:
"In front of our army, there are more than a hundred space fortresses to gnaw at."
The implication is that the extraordinary combat power he currently has in his hands is also stretched thin.
"I understand. When I was formulating the strategy plan for the front line, I was fully involved. Although I didn't help much, I still understand the details of the combat power of both sides." Theodoro shrugged self-deprecatingly.
Admiral Farrell could only quickly express that you were being too modest. In fact, he still had some respect for Count Theodoro.
This kind of superman who can literally ride over a million on his own can be his greatest partner as long as he has the self-awareness to not interfere with his command in the "secular" sense.
"I know that all our combat power must be used on the edge, and it is really difficult to save free power." Theodoro thought for a moment: "So, I will go to Sarna in person.
trip."
"...It's too exaggerated." Admiral Farrell pressed his temples again, and couldn't help but mourn for the blue team's (possible existence) surprise attack force on the opposite side. Although he is an ordinary person, he also knows that the spirit of the seventh ring
What is the concept of being capable?
In addition, does this mean that the big one bullies the small ones? Is it too ungrateful? Moreover, it is not in line with the purpose of the exercise!
"I remember that you made it clear at the beginning that you would only be responsible for commanding your own knights and would not take action yourself."
"Yes. So this time when I go to Sarna, I will not personally take action. I will only provide certain psychic support to our garrison. If so, Viscount Shamaine can still win, then the future of the Knights will be
It is worth entrusting to him."
Admiral Farrell nodded slightly. In fact, he is not very interested in the future of your knights, but he also knows that Viscount Shameen's grades when he was an auditor at the Naval University were also very good. If he just becomes the next Sai O
Doro, it's actually quite a pity.
"Speaking of which, the divinely chosen champion from Earth was actually invited by me personally, but I have never met him. This actually shows that the knights lack the etiquette of hospitality. Moreover, Dan
Tai Jing is also in Sarna now, which makes it even more worthwhile." The knight commander paused and then said: "As for the frontline command of our knights, you can leave it to Sir Nalunga."
Admiral Farrell nodded, but his expression was a little distressed, as if to say, "Who, I haven't heard of this name."
Theodoro said: "He is my adjutant and disciple, a knight from the Knights, and a lieutenant colonel of the Imperial Stormtroopers. This kid is not well-known, and his combat talent is only mediocre, but his tactical sense is top-notch. Don't worry.
, I will let him hold my sword as an agent, and the knights will obey his command. He will be a useful field officer, and you can trust him."
Admiral Farrell chuckled: "Very good, what I need is your words."
At this time, he felt that it was a good thing that Theodoro left. It was easier to command an unknown knight than to command a first knight.
