Four months after Lu Yuan landed, he was on the planet Hada. The battle has been going on.

Click, click, a humanoid mechanical warrior moving through the grass, these mechanical warriors were formerly humans, and most of them have now been replaced with mechanical parts, except for the brain and a few organs. The faces are six rows of scanning lenses, which are their shadows, so their gaze is in various forms.

In the basic case, a black lens is applied to the cheek to perceive visible light.

In the dark, infrared vision is used to perceive the outside world.

When it is necessary to establish information and traces, laser scanning is used to record the situation in front of the meter. This information is aggregated with the pastor.

It was a two-hundred-strong team with seven battle priests. (The team in charge of production, the priest stores a fixed amount of knowledge in the brains of his subordinates, and the production team cannot consume it casually.) The Battle Priest, on the other hand, is in charge of the combat team. The cultists, at the priest's command, crawled through the ground like mechanical ghouls.

Suddenly, in the darkness of the night, with the crisp sound of gunfire, the priest who gave orders to the believers disappeared in the perception of the believers.

One of the combat priests in the team fell, his head exploding directly from the bullet. After the death of the combat priest, dozens of congregants paused and stood up en masse to see what had happened to their priest.

For the believers whose brains have been controlled, the priest is their psychological sustenance, and when the priest collapses, there will be loss, panic, emotion in their minds, and despair and sadness will occur after a long time. A new priest must be found.

Human beings are inherently social, and similar emotions will arise when they are separated from society. This is the physiological mechanism of intelligent life that has evolved spontaneously and spontaneously. The purpose is to survive

The Cult of All Things strengthens this function of the brains of the people, making it very cohesive within the Cult. There will be no panic because of the war. But the Cult of All Things was reformed to strengthen the hierarchy, not to survive.

The first priest fell, and the remaining priests were shot and fell.

In Lu Yuan's psionic markers, the psionics in the squad snipe are quite accurate. The psionics sniped out the core of the team in a wave from four kilometers away. The battle squad that had lost the priest was suddenly at a loss in the wilderness like lambs. I want revenge, but I don't know where to charge.

One by one, the psionics looked at the targets in the cross mirror, but to everyone's surprise, the next order from Captain Lu came - withdraw!

During these months of fighting, Lu Yuan was called the "retreater" because in many cases the retreat would be ordered.

Less than two-thirds of the ammunition - withdrawn.

The number of enemies exceeded the projected by a tenth - withdraw.

After killing forty Battle Priests, it is possible for the enemy to retaliate ,—— retreat on a large scale.

Mutated organisms have appeared in the combat area, and the samples are taken back for analysis - evacuated.

Unmanned reconnaissance aircraft with information support in the rear cannot arrive at the position of the theater of operations on time to provide information and ammunition support (even if it is only one second) - withdraw.

……

Judging from the number of missions in the city, Lu Yuan led the team for a long time. And the results achieved are quite effective, but both the soldiers on the front line and the high-level commanders on the planet believe that if Lu Yuan can be more active, he can achieve more results.

For example, this time, Lu Yuan has completed the number of kills again, and one-third of the battlefield dry food has been consumed, and in the eyes of some team members, the team still has the ability to continue fighting, and there is no demon reason to retreat.

Kaai (a native-born psyker): "Sir, I'm not denying the results of your battles these days. It's just that we still have the ability to fight, and if we enter twenty kilometers, we will be able to investigate the enemy one step closer. And the Planetary Defense Agency also asks us to do everything possible to investigate the front. ”

Lu Yuan looked at this psionic warrior, this was the new Li Neng who had joined his team on the native planet. On this planet, Lu Yuan's team has expanded to five hundred.

These native psionics, the source of unrest on their own native planet, are hated immensely. And Lu Yuan didn't let this team suffer a major setback, so they are aggressive now.

Lu Yuan picked up a knife and dug out a grass root from the ground, the taste of the grass root was sweet, and the juice of the grass root, after the precise scalar of spiritual energy, entered Lu Yuan's body, filling the balance of the vitamin gap in the physical fitness part.

Lu Yuan spit out the grass roots that had been "chewed dry", and asked the recruit Kaai, who was 400 meters away, in the communication: "Tell me what we are doing." "We are at war. ”

Lu Yuan nodded and said: "That's right, it's war, at that time, from a tactical level, we were on the verge of death. ”

"War has to be sacrificed," Kaai said. Are you afraid, sir? (The general's words come out of the recruit's mouth without mercy.) ）

Lu Yuan said: "Afraid, of course. ”

After a moment of silence, the Flesh Fang Gang soldier said, "I understand, sir. ”

Lu Yuan nodded and asked the other soldiers in the communication, "Do you understand?" The other psionic warriors didn't answer.

Lu Yuan said with satisfaction: "It seems that there are a lot of stupid people in my team. It's good, sometimes survive better than the average person. ”

This sentence caused a sound of inhalation in the communication, and suddenly someone interceded for Kaai. In the Somudo Federation, there was a strict hierarchy of the military, and when the governor said such a thing, it sometimes meant that some people died.

Lu Yuan heard these pleas: "I didn't say that I would punish the valiant soldiers. It's just that the tactical style is different. The tactical concept is different. I may suppress some of the talents of some people. Kaai, after this mission, you can lead the team independently. I'm here to take care of the fools. ”

Kaay hesitated for a moment, but in the end he did not admit defeat, but stiffened to maintain his face, accepted Lu Yuan's initiative to give up power, and said to Lu Yuan on the public channel: "Thank you, sir." ”

After reaching an agreement, Lu Yuan's party began to return to the city.

###

Eight months have passed since the biochemical disaster, and the bustle in the city has returned. In the building with an average height of 400 meters, lanes with glass plank structures are erected in the sky. And the chassis jet vehicles shuttle through this high-altitude lane.

And when Lu Yuan's team arrived in the city. The air in the cities is filled with the aroma of food, and the high-information carbon atoms have brought a biochemical disaster to the planet, killing a large number of species and bringing a large number of new ones.

Due to the economic devastation in the city, a large number of electronic entertainment devices have regressed. The most basic entertainment and catering industry began to develop, and there were a large number of food stalls on the streets, and some strange creatures were stir-fried on iron plates, all of which were certified non-toxic by the government for a year, and the meat was delicious. These novelty foods and alcohols bring emotional relief to the people of the city after a stressful and busy day.

Lu Yuan also tried these novel foods, but when he ate in Lu Yuan, he would use his psionic energy to cut them into neat squares, which made the people around him often whisper, and the chief ate like a woman. Of course, it will also be ironic that Lu Yuan's style is too conservative in battle.

In the exclusive dining room of the barracks, Aemon came to Lu Yuan's side and said, "Sir, Kaai has gathered a lot of people, and he has all submitted his application to leave the team. ”

Lu Yuan swallowed the cubes on the plate into his mouth, (which split into more dense and neat squares in the esophagus) and said, "Well, I know, do you want to go too?" ”

Edmond paused and said, "Sir, aren't you not worried at all, have all the people gone to them?" ”

Lu Yuan smiled: "Why worry. Lu Yuan pointed to it and said, "The council lords of this city are not satisfied with the way I carry out my mission, but they are not sure if the newly formed team has combat effectiveness. Kaai will not be allowed to tear down our team. ”

Lu Yuan swallowed all the food on the plate, wiped his hands and said, "And this Kaai's behavior is also the meaning of the archons of this planet. So, there is no point in stopping Kaai at all. ”

Aemon said, "You don't think about Kaai? ”

Lu Yuan said: "It depends on what part you are talking about!" If it's a result, I'm quite optimistic about Kaai's actions, and his style can cause great damage to the Cult of All Things. But "

Lu Yuan smiled and said to Emon, "If it's a damage ratio, Kaai's team will have a lot of damage. ”

Ammon frowned and said, "War always involves death, so you can't cower because you're afraid of casualties." ”

Lu Yuan shook his head with a sneer and said, "In some people's tones, you are a pure professional soldier who only obeys orders. ”

Eamon nodded and said, "Soldiers must obey orders, this is the duty of soldiers. ”

Lu Yuan raised his eyes and looked at Emon, his thoughts in the rehearsal recalled the memories of the Third World War, and he exhaled and said: "Soldiers obey orders for the sake of victory, but this is not an excuse for soldiers to stop thinking, soldiers must think for victory." Thus executing the corresponding tactics. The choice of tactics is subordinated to strategic needs. ”

Lu Yuan looked at Emon, who was speechless and didn't know how to refute his reasoning. (I don't know how to refute it, it doesn't mean I'm convinced.) ）

Lu Yuan continued: "If we look at the strategic data, the consumption of our army, materials and other war potentials can fight until the opponent is exhausted. Then in terms of tactics at the grassroots level, it is necessary to adopt the tactics of opening and closing widely. Put casualties secondary. Because the casualties on the other side can't beat us.

And if in terms of strategic data, the consumption of our war potential is greater than that of the opponent. Then it is necessary to pay attention to the preservation of vital forces in inconsequential small battles, and tactically it is necessary to firmly hold back the enemy's forces. ”

Lu Yuan clicked on the light screen on his arm and pulled out the news of the past few days, judging from the news, the battle between the newly formed military government and the Austic Empire has entered incandescent status. (Chinese chess, their own advantageous situation, their own one more chess piece, on the active and fighting, if they are at a disadvantage, their own side is one less chess piece, facing the opposite pair is very cautious.) ）

Looking at Aemon, who was a little ignorant, Lu Yuan said softly: "Do you know, this is the case, the junta is not, and the combat strength is tense and we are mobilized to go back." Guess why? ”

Eamon looked puzzled, but soon his face became nervous and panicked, and he lowered his voice and said, "The war situation on this planet is urgent. ”

Lu Yuan shook his finger slightly and said, "Hehe, you can't say, you can't say, it's been a few months since we arrived on this planet, and the planetary federal government doesn't have any propaganda about the exchange ratio, nor does it have any intelligence about the northern cities." ”
