Chapter 6 Persuasion

This is not very likely, because Shabak needs to command the battle head-on, and he always has to appear in front of everyone, and if he also becomes that hideous-looking deified puppet, then he will definitely not be able to mobilize troops for battle.

In fact, only the leaders of the Knights of the Holy Cross who were above the rank of captain were "deified" by the Three-Faced Beast.

These people are all sitting in the light star, giving orders through the Internet, so they are not afraid of being discovered by others.

Shabak and others, who were fighting on the front line, still thought that they were following the orders of the real Sass Dante.

But he didn't know that the light star had long been occupied by the evil forces of the three-faced beast.

The fleet entered the alert range of the Shabak regiment.

This is the rear of the Shabak Legion, and in front of it is the Orc mining area.

The Shabak Legion is a powerful force, but the Orcs are not unmatched. Relying on the superb technology of the Star Clan, they transformed one mining planet after another into a fortress full of holes, and drove the powerful mecha to start a decisive battle with the Shabak Legion inch by inch!

Shabak had a terrible headache.

On the front line of the four star fields, he had never encountered such a stubborn and tenacious enemy. No matter how fierce the warriors of the four star fields are, at least the unarmed people there are still weak.

When the occupying forces have eliminated the last of the resistance in the area, they can usually sit back and breathe for a while, and the unarmed population will not do anything to them.

But everything seems to have changed in the Orc Mine, and these Orcs, whether they are armed mechs or seemingly harmless civilians, all have extremely fanatical combat***! Before the planet was occupied, they fought to the death in the universe, but after the surface of the planet was occupied by the Holy See army, they went into the underground mine 'hole' to continue to resist. If the occupying forces are negligent in their mech, then there is a good chance that what awaits them is a secret stinger!

Shabak couldn't understand why these orcs cared so much about their land that they would fight for even a single mine at the cost of their lives.

He had already spent too much 'fine' energy and soldiers in this place, and the idea of solving the logistical problem in half a month envisaged in the march road seemed to have become a very unrealistic castle in the air......

"A new fleet has appeared in the rear of our line of defense." The adjutant stepped forward and reported to Shabak, "The other party seems to be an ally of the Radiant Star Domain, but he can't get the order presented by the combat staff, and he doesn't know what mission he is performing." ”

"Oh?"

Could it be the reinforcements from the light star?

No, it's impossible, because the bad battle situation on his side hasn't been known to anyone, including the battle headquarters on the light star. In the concept of the combat headquarters, with a huge army of tens of thousands of mecha knights and thousands of warships like the Shabak Legion, attacking the small orc mining area is already a very overkill deployment, and the combat headquarters even asked him to go straight to the Spartan star field after pacifying the security of the mining area!

A communication request came, and Shabak dressed up and went to the communication room.

To his surprise, what appeared on the screen were more than a dozen archbishops as well as ***.

"Captain ***, Archbishop Surban, why are you here?" Shabak was a little surprised, "The war zone ahead has not yet been pacified, and the strength of your fleet is really insufficient, I think it may be difficult to pass." If you're on an important mission, then I can send a battleship to escort you. ”

"Commander Shabak......" said Archbishop Surban, with great majesty, "you are still as brave and loyal as you were three years ago, well, we haven't seen each other for so long, haven't we?" ”

"Yes, Lord Bishop." Shabak said with sincere trepidation.

He was born in the Kathu system, and Archbishop Silvan has been the regional archbishop of Kathu for as long as he can remember.

The star field of the Holy See is very vast, including hundreds of galaxies in total, and it is not convenient to travel back and forth.

For most believers, the center of the Holy See and the star of light are only vague concepts, and it is the archbishop of each galaxy who actually leads them in religious ceremonies.

It is the archbishop who has absolute authority in his own galaxy, and all believers regard them as direct spokesmen of God.

Although Shabak became the deputy squadron leader of the Crusader Knights with his own combat strength and commanded a large fleet, he did not dare to offend his archbishop.

"We've just arrived from the Radiant Star Department." Archbishop Sierban said slowly, "I have not very good news for you, Shabak. The Light Star System has been occupied by demons, and most of the high-ranking personnel of the Knights of the Holy Cross have thrown themselves into the arms of demons, and the entire human world is facing a crisis! ”

"You, what are you talking about?" Shabak frowned, if it wasn't Archbishop Surban, and there were so many high-ranking bishops standing behind him, Shabak thought who was joking.

Now, of course, you can't think so.

"What the hell is going on?" Shabak asked in a deep voice, "Radiance star system...... Your ships are badly damaged, but most of them seem to be corrosive 'sex' scars, not like they were hit by battleship guns or mech weapons......"

"That's the demon's fire!" "You don't know that since the Holy See and the Four Star Fields went to war, there has been a sea change in the Light Star, and the demons have descended from the sky to take over the entire Light Star and pollute most of the clergy with its filthy cells. We, the high-ranking who refused to give in, had been imprisoned by it for three months, and only now has Commander Azelica appeared and saved us with his life! ”

"Azelika?" Shabak frowned tightly, Azelica was the commander of the same group of troops who returned to the rear of the Holy See with him, and the two were usually 'friendly'. Originally, the Azelica fleet was assigned to him to carry out auxiliary "sex" missions, but later received an urgent dispatch from the combat headquarters to carry out secret missions.

Archbishop Surban said: "The whole thing is very difficult to explain, I have some images here, you can see what is happening in the center of the Sacred Star Field. ”

He Ruozhi transferred the data to the flagship of Shabak.

On the big screen in front of Shabak, explosions, sacrifices, courage and terror are displayed one by one.

This battle-hardened general finally couldn't bear it anymore, and asked in a trembling voice: "This, is all this true?" ”

He said: "Commander Shabak, you are also a professional soldier, you should know that these images are all taken from the camera cameras of mecha and warships for tactical research, and this kind of image is completely impossible to be artificially modified to 'manipulate' the column, so it is the most realistic report of the battle situation." ”

Shabak clenched his fists in pain: "Could it be that the Light Star Department has really become like that?" What the hell are those bizarre bug armies? It's so tough! ”

"Now we only know that it is a mysterious cosmic creature that can control the human brain in various ways. It was after Sass Dante and the others were controlled by this creature that they gave the order to fight against the four star fields. When you warriors loyal to the God of Light are sent out to fight, this monster will be able to wreak havoc inside the Sanctuary and corrupt it into the hell it envisions without hesitation! ”

Archbishop Surban: "Shabak, you have to understand that the problem now is not the religious holy war between our Holy See and the heretics, but the final battle between the entire human world and the alien demons!" No matter what contradictions we have within the human race, we should put aside our differences and unite in the face of a powerful enemy! ”

Shabak was silent for a long time.

Suddenly an alarm sounded on his battleship, and a red light flashed.

I heard a burst of shouts, and violent explosions followed one after another.

Somehow, some insect soldiers infiltrated his battleship and began to march towards headquarters.

The battleship soldiers put up desperate resistance, and it took a lot of effort to resist the enemy's attack.

The flagship, however, was badly damaged.

He frowned and said: "These insect soldiers must have been sent by the Three-Faced Beast to ambush your flagship a long time ago, this time they know that Shabak you have already understood the truth, and you will not be killed by the Three-Faced Beast again, so they will use the last resort to attack!" ”

Shabak looked at the ugly rancid insect soldier that his men brought in, and his face was full of thought.

Archbishop Surban shouted: "Shabak, are you still unconscious? Do you really want to be a sinners for all mankind? ”

Shabak's body trembled, and finally made up his mind, and slowly exhaled a breath and said: "Now I can no longer follow the orders of the commander, the problem is that both sides are now in a state of 'war', our fleet has millions of soldiers, whether it is food or energy supply is a heavy burden." In the past, it was possible to receive support from the Holy See, but if there is a truce now, how can the problem of food and drink for so many people be solved? ”

For the soldiers, only having enough to eat is the most important task. No matter how noble the beliefs and goals, if there is no adequate guarantee of logistical supplies, then the soldiers will definitely mutini at the first opportunity.

This is also one of the main reasons for the low morale of the Holy See Army in recent months.

He Ruozhi stood up: "Commander Shabak, don't worry, as long as you announce to your own regiment that the battle will be suspended immediately, I can immediately arrange a batch of food to be supplied to your ship, ensuring that every soldier can eat sweet and delicious food." If you need it, I can also arrange for you to enter the planet immediately to repair, so that the wounded soldiers can be well healed, and the broken ships can be repaired in the best possible way. ”

"It can't be!"

Shabak scoffed.

The supply of millions of soldiers is huge, and the repair of warships can only be carried out by entering a special 'gate' factory set up on the planetary orbit, and the fleet of Surbans is only a hundred warships, and most of them are light cruisers with fast speed but small hulls, and they have no ability to repair warships and mechas.

Now the situation of the Shabak army is very awkward.

In front of them was the Spartan Field, which was in the midst of an 'engagement', and the Spartans showed no signs of complete rout, but were firmly entangled with the invading Papal forces like kraft candy. According to the Spartan Legion, the battle there was also very difficult, the supply was very difficult, the morale was seriously low, and they could only rely on biological weapons such as the Cancer Warriors to gain a small advantage, while the ordinary human soldiers were more and more afraid of the Cancer Warriors and the Apotheosis Warriors.

Now everyone hopes that Shabak will quickly clear the orc mining area, so that this resource planet area can be connected with the territory occupied by the Holy See army on the Spartan side for easy supply.

And in the short term this is simply impossible, these orcs are simply more oily than loaches, longer than turtles, more than mice! They certainly don't have that strength to defeat the Shabak fleet, but it's easy to stop Shabak from taking over the planet and starting to mine for resources.

A long war of attrition is inevitable.

The Shabak legion, on the other hand, was short of supplies.

As for the rear, the Holy See Headquarters, which could have been relied on, was able to provide some supplies to some extent anyway.

Now Archbishop Sirban and *** and others have brought Shabak such news like a bolt from the blue.

This puts the Shabak army in an embattled situation.

For the good of all mankind, he certainly could no longer act as a thug of the Three-Faced Beast.

But then the supply will be completely cut off.

You must know that a strict rationing system is already being implemented in the legion, and the remaining *** and supplies are simply impossible to hold out for a month.

In just one month, where did he go to find steaming food for these nearly a million soldiers?

"Who are you?" Shabak asked in a very bad mood, the guy on the screen didn't look like a high-ranking member of the Holy See, he had never seen it before, maybe it was the newly promoted young general during this battle...... A young man with a full mind of ideals, but he doesn't know how to solve real problems.

Shabak patiently explained: "To solve the problem of the supply of our millions of soldiers, as well as the maintenance of thousands of warships and tens of thousands of mechas, we need at least five planets with a medium level of agricultural resources, and the same number of industrial planets, and only the important industrial areas of the five star fields have this strength. We can now say that we have become a lone army, where are we going to get such a repair? ”

He Ruozhi said with a smile: "You are wrong, Commander Shabak. Those of you who have been 'dealing' with orcs for so long should understand that the industrial level on the orc planet is not inferior to the industrial areas of the five star fields. ”

"This ...... Of course! ”

Shabak gritted his teeth and admitted! Originally, he thought that these orcs were all barbarians who drank blood, and would only rush up with sticks and tomahawks roaring.

When I arrived at this damn place, I found that those orcs actually controlled warships and mecha that were not inferior to themselves! Some weapons are even more effective and powerful than any weapon of the same rank as the Holy See Army! What the hell is this, who exactly is the barbarian?

Luckily, it doesn't seem that there are too many well-trained 'elite' warriors among the orcs, and most of the orcs are just militias with simple training. Relying on the quality of the warriors, the Shabak regiment barely gained the upper hand.

Shabak was frustrated by this, believing that if he had exchanged the weapons of both sides, he would be able to destroy those stupid orcs in two days!

The hatred in Shabak's heart, as a professional soldier, it was terrible to see the orcs "spoiling" those excellent weapons like that, and he had excellent soldiers in his own air, but the mechs and warships were inferior to their opponents!

"Which legion are you the commander of?" Shabak asked with some amusement, "You said you could give us supplies, but where are those supplies?" ”

"I'm not an officer of the Holy See." He Ruozhi replied lightly, "Have you heard of the Half-Orc Autonomous Alliance?" ”

Shabak's eyes narrowed.

The Orc Autonomous Alliance is the group of these damned orcs who are currently fighting him.

To be honest, from a soldier's point of view, Shabak still admires these half-orc warriors very much, because they have obviously only carried out a few weeks or even only a few days of military training, and they are not afraid to put on their mechs and charge forward to fight against the 'elite' warriors of the Holy See, and they are unwilling to give up their tactical goals no matter how many people are sacrificed.

He admired this natural warrior.

But from the enemy's point of view, the Orc Autonomous Alliance is definitely a more difficult horn 'color' than the four star fields.

If possible, Shabak would rather face ten squadrons of human enemies than a squad of half-orcs. God knows how these orcs went from cowardly slaves to brave warriors all at once.

And it was the Orc Autonomous League that organized them to fight.

"Are you kidding me?" Shabak held back his anger and said, "Isn't the Orc Autonomous Alliance the biggest enemy in front of us? ”

"With your word, they will never cease to be your enemies, Commander Shabak." He Ruozhi smiled and said, "They will become your most loyal comrades-in-arms, and together with you they will destroy the hateful Three-Faced Beast!" ”

"Huh? You, who are you? ”

"My name is He Ruozhi, and I am the chief of staff of the Half-Orc Autonomous Alliance!"
