2-57 Fall of Steel (Aftermath)

Tyrell held the phase greatsword in his hand, looked at the battlefield that had been unrecognizable, and let out a long sigh for a long time. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Company commander, the battlefield report has come out, I have already passed it on to you, do you need me to read it to you, company commander." Data Staff Officer Lieutenant Ivatt said on the tactical computer.

"Read it, Lieutenant." "I don't think it's going to be worse than I predicted," Tyrrell said. ”

"The company has lost sixteen killed, another fifteen are seriously wounded, and are now receiving medical treatment, and it is expected that the combat effectiveness will be restored in twelve hours, the lightly wounded have regained their combat effectiveness, and two Conqueror tanks have been completely destroyed, and the nanomachines are no longer able to repair them."

"Where's Thunderhawk?" Tyrrell asked.

"I'm in good condition and ready to go."

Tyrrell nodded, his pale face slightly improving.

"Company Commander, the results of this operation are breakthrough, the Iron Warrior Dalian and its subordinate servant army have all been wiped out except for a few stationed in a few excavation points, their Titans have been destroyed, and the War Blacksmith has also died here."

"Yes, but we couldn't do it all alone without the Blade Wings, and yes, we couldn't do it."

"It's not appropriate to interrupt you, though, company commander." Lieutenant Evatt tapped his data disk twice.

"But our entire company only invested four incomplete squadrons in this operation, which only accounted for about 30% of our actual mobilized forces, and this was when we did not mobilize naval support, although we took advantage of the ambush, but this is also because our data link successfully concealed their detection system. I don't think you need to be so worried. ”

"Perhaps, but there's no denying that our former colleagues fought bravely." Then, Tyrrell turned around and activated the levitation device behind him.

"I went to the pastor to discuss what's next, hoping that we'll not become enemies again so soon. Lieutenant Aiwalt, you're in charge of the transfer and tactics, and by the way, upload a backup of the battle directory to the Incident Elephant and a copy of the Vengeful Waves. ”

It didn't take long for Tyrell to find Pastor Vental, who was bowing his head and praying something.

The priest's armor was covered with scars, burns and sharp marks, and his white cloak was dusty, but it was still intact.

His left hand was lowered, holding a book resembling the scriptures, and his right hand was holding his helmet, revealing his old but not weak, face full of faith and willpower, muttering something in a low voice.

Tyrrell fell to the ground and watched Vanthal's movements silently without interrupting, and after nearly ten minutes, Vantal finished his prayer, put on his helmet, and turned his head to look at Tyrrell standing quietly.

"As an apostate, I am astonished that you should accept my prayer to the Emperor." Wintal said.

"I have always had respect for the martyrs. As for His Majesty the Great Emperor, we are being abandoned by the Empire, not that we are turning our back on the Emperor's guidance. ”

"The heretical claim about the Emperor's path, which is called the truth of the Empire?" Wintal's tone carried a hint of sarcasm: "You are just poor creatures who have been bewitched by the Dark Remnant, turning away from the Empire is turning away from the Emperor, as a traitor, you are not qualified to justify." ”

"Really?" Tyrell's voice rose slightly, "If you want to argue with me after you've dealt with Iron Champion, I can talk to you, but I want you to think about it with your mind, which has been repeatedly deceived by the Empire." You say we're deluded? It is self-evident what constitutes deception between independent thinking and ignorant brainwashing. The Empire tells us nothing but to teach us to be weapons of ignorance, blind obedience. And the Federation, these heretics in your mouths, they have told us nothing, and we have seen everything with our heads and eyes. Have you ever seen any of the planets that have been extinct? You've definitely seen it. Yes, it was a massacre by the Empire in vain under the great name of the Emperor, and perhaps it seemed necessary to you. The flame that burns the world may be called powerful, but I have seen a more respectable and followable force, a power of construction, a power beyond the comprehension of those of you who indulge in destruction and cannibalism. ”

"Thinking breeds heresy, your thoughts are the root of your depravity, look at the empire, those shameful rebellions, it is because of the germination of these ideas that chaos can be exploited, the people of the empire are tempted to deceive, deviate from the emperor's guidance, and become slaves, your so-called federation is just a raccoon dog in another form."

"But the Emperor taught us that wisdom is power, priest. Now that I think about it, I doubt that those imperial quotations written by the state religion, are they really what the emperor said? Emperors are great kings of reason, not self-proclaimed fanatics of gods. If people in the world had their own thinking, they could understand the world for themselves, instead of relying on the distortion of the so-called loyal servants of the emperor, wouldn't they become stronger subjects of the empire, instead of those godless walking corpses in their eyes? If you really think that giving human dignity is depravity, there is nothing to say between us. ”

"No, quite the opposite." Wintar stared at Tyrell, "Your claim validates one of my suspicions. I think we'll have a point of cooperation at least until we expel Tyron and wipe out the Iron Warriors completely. ”

Tyrrell looked at Vental with some surprise, the priest's change in attitude was almost unresponsive, so much so that Tyrrell couldn't figure out what their true attitude was for a while.

"What do you mean, pastor? Your conversion does not convince me of your sincerity. ”

"You don't need to believe in our sincerity, our purpose seems to be non-conflicting now, and that's enough as cooperation, that's what you say, isn't it?" The pastor said, "The conversation was just a confirmation of one of my brothers' last instructions. And now, I've confirmed that result. As long as the result is true, then all other problems can indeed be overcome, and even limited cooperation that deviates from Germany is better than hostility,"

"We welcome your willingness to continue to cooperate." Tyrrell pondered his language for a moment, then continued: "Then I will not be obsessed with meaningless interrogation, our beliefs are not aligned, and it is pointless to resort to language itself. Let's be straight, Reverend Wintar, now that Iron Warriors' ground forces have been annihilated, how can you help us next, and where can we work with you? ”

"Our vehicle units and Blade Knights will work with you to attack Tyron and delay them. On the other hand, we need your artillery and recon forces to work together to destroy all the remaining Iron Warrior bases on Tantalus V. For the next cooperation, you can find Brother Ufo, and I will hand over your communicator to him for safekeeping. As for me personally, I have a brother's mandate to fulfill. ”

The priest strode over to his hoverbike, and then, as if thinking of something, looked back at Tyrell.

"If I were you, I would leave here as soon as possible, with such a small number of troops, you can't stop a hive fleet of this size, you are just doing useless work."

"What about you? You also seem to be short on manpower, but you don't say anything about avoiding the fighting here. Tyrrell responded, activating the hoverpack again and slowly lifting into the air.

"But we have what we have to do and enemies that we have to stop, so we can't go and we won't go." With that, the priest started the motorcycle, quickly disappearing from Tyrell's sight.

"Coincidentally, we thought so too." Tyrell muttered under his breath, then turned, the hovering engine on his back silently beating, and flew with him to the temporary base of the Silver Angel.

The battle is not over yet.
