Chapter 456: Winning in one fell swoop
Otis made a move, without the slightest suspense.
When Somme discovers danger, his Origin Converter is under Otis's control, and the Origin he puffs up in desperation becomes a shackle that binds him. It wasn't until his whole body was under control that he couldn't move, but it was too late.
Next, Somme, accompanied by Carlson, returned to the commander's position, and then Carlson gave the order in Somme's name to concentrate the corps.
Although Carlson was giving the order throughout, and Som didn't say a word, in the eyes of those staff officers, Som was on the sidelines, and since there was no opposition, there was no problem. Besides, Carlson is the commander of the Legion's engineering unit, and he has a good relationship with Somme. What's more, the most important thing now is to complete the construction of the barracks on time, and Carlson's order is Somme's.
Subsequently, Carlson assigned specific tasks to each staff officer, mainly to let the staff officers go to the grassroots units, give orders directly to the grassroots officers, and let the grassroots officers take the troops to the designated places, and not take action without receiving other orders.
Of course, this was only for the purpose of taking away the staff officers of the corps command.
When the staff officers left one after another, the soldiers of the Lei Ling tribe disguised as the officers and soldiers of the special reconnaissance brigade arrived one after another and took control of the corps headquarters.
The operation went so smoothly that even Yang Yi couldn't believe that he had taken control of the legion headquarters so easily.
Of course, there is nothing surprising about this.
Prior to this, Carlson had said that no one under the fleet command believed that there was an enemy on the slag planet, otherwise he would not have been so careless. As long as they can reach the Legion Headquarters, they can smoothly control the Legion Commander Thorm. to be able to control the entire corps headquarters.
However, this is only the first step.
Although Somme was the supreme commander here, he was officially the commander of the Ninth Legion, and only temporarily served as the commander-in-chief of the three legions. In other words, what Carlson began to give was only Somme's verbal orders. It only has a short-term effect. It wouldn't be long before the other two corps commanders would send in a message asking Somme to explain why he had sent his troops to the designated location to stand by. If Somme's order had come from his superiors, the fleet command, then at this time, he would have to forward the relevant order to the other two corps commanders. If this were not the case, Somme would have to give a reasonable explanation for the order.
According to the tradition of the Thunderling Legion, if the order did not come from a superior, and Som did not give a reasonable explanation. Then the officer commander of the same rank has the right to ignore the orders given by him, and if necessary, he can also report the situation to his superiors and ask them to revoke unreasonable orders.
Obviously, at this time, it is an unreasonable order to let the officers and men of the three corps, including all engineering troops, put down their work and go to the designated place to stand by. As long as Somme didn't give a reasonable explanation, the other two corps commanders would certainly have contacted the fleet command.
Other words. It's just that controlling Somme is useless, and you have to turn against him.
Although all of them are not very reassured. But Yang Yi did not suspect Carlsen, and handed over the work of plotting against Som to him, and gave him a high level of trust.
Of course, Yang Yi is not without second-hand preparation.
It would be great to be able to plot against Somme, and even if he failed to plot against Som, it would not have much impact. It's a big deal to attack early.
After Shen Chengwen arrived with the officers and soldiers of the special investigation team, Yang Yi asked Carlson to leave with Som.
"I just received a message from Yuyang, and the ten Shadow Ships are in place and ready to attack at any time."
Yang Yi nodded slightly and said, "Is there any other news?" ”
Shen Chengwen shook his head. He knew what Yang Yi was asking.
According to Carlson, in more than ten hours, the deadline for the completion of the barracks will be. Although Carlson could not be sure that the large force would arrive at this time, the fact that the fleet command did not revise the completion date was enough to prove that the hundred regiments were already on their way. From this, Yang Yi deduced that the large army of the Lei Ling Clan would definitely arrive at this time, even if it would not immediately enter the Slag Star, it would join the fleet.
You know, just to transport a hundred legions, you need a lot of landing ships. If these corps are all fully loaded, at least a thousand large landing ships are needed. Among other things, just the delivery of heavy equipment for one corps requires several landing ships. If the accompanying engineering troops carried a large amount of heavy engineering equipment, as well as the supplies necessary for the construction of the advance fortress, more transport ships would have been needed. With so many troops going to the battlefield, there will inevitably be battleships to escort them. That is, it was not just the corps that came, but a large fleet. Normally, the convoy would rendezvous with the previously arrived fleet before sending the legion to the barracks where it was stationed.
Obviously, a fleet of thousands of ships will certainly not be able to operate in stealth.
Even the Lei Ling Clan could not build a transport ship by the standards of a warship. More importantly, transport spacecraft mainly operate in safe areas controlled by their own side, and generally do not go to the front line, so they do not need too strong combat effectiveness, let alone use advanced equipment for covert operations.
To this end, Yang Yi made a deployment and let five Shadow Ships monitor and patrol the periphery.
As long as the transport fleet of the Lei Ling Clan is discovered, it is equivalent to the discovery of the large army of the Lei Ling Clan.
According to Yang Yi's arrangement, he would only launch an attack when the Lei Ling Clan's transport fleet was discovered and it was determined that the Lei Ling Clan's large army was about to arrive.
Occupy the corps headquarters in advance, just to prepare for the next attack.
Not long after, a staff officer sent a message that the grass-roots troops had arrived at the designated place to stand by in accordance with the order, and asked the corps headquarters if there were any other instructions.
Yang Yi did not go to Carlsen, but just gave the order to put the troops on standby according to the previous arrangement.
At this point, even calling Carlson won't help.
Time flies quickly, but the speed of action of the Lei Ling Clan Legion is faster, which makes Yang Yi also sigh, after all, the Lei Ling Clan is a top civilization, and no matter how bad its army is, it will not be much worse. In less than two hours, all the troops of the three legions, as well as all the engineering units, had arrived at the designated standby area as ordered, and sent in one after another to ask why Somme wanted them to go to the designated place to standby.
Yang Yi didn't delay any longer and sent someone to call Carlson over.
The result was not ideal, although Carlson personally intervened and moved out of Prince Arlington, but Som was obviously a confidant of the Wanluo War Emperor, at least loyal to the Wanluo War Emperor, and did not listen to Carlson's words, and did not believe that the person he saw was the Prince of Arlington.
Obviously, there is no way to turn against him.
Yang Yi was very disappointed, but this was also expected by him. If Som can easily rebel, then the Thunder Clan Legion will be too vulnerable.
Then, Shen Chengwen hurried over.
As expected, after all three legions had arrived in the standby area, the other two corps commanders became suspicious of Somme's orders and rushed over in person.
"They've arrived?"
"It's almost there, the scouts I arranged have discovered them, and they will arrive in a few minutes, and they all have retinues, all of them are officers, and their combat strength is definitely not weak."
"Go and prepare, wait for my orders."
Shen Cheng didn't say much wordy when he heard this, and called a few officers and soldiers who accompanied him to leave.
"You're going to deal with them?"
Yang Yi nodded, he didn't tell Carlson about the second-hand arrangement.
"Here?" Carlsen was surprised, even shocked. "They are all legion commanders, and their combat power is equal to your human warriors, or even stronger. Even if you have a lot of warriors, and they are strong, but if you fight here, I'm afraid it will ......."
"Don't worry, everything is under control."
"But ......"
Before Carlsen could say anything, Otis walked over.
Seeing Otis, Carlson was slightly stunned and closed his mouth. He only remembered that Yang Yi was a human being, ignoring that there was also a group of female warriors of the Weaver Star Clan beside Yang Yi. Maybe it was very difficult for humans like Yang Yi to deal with two legion commanders with the combat power of human warriors, but for the female warriors of the Weaver Clan, especially the guard captain of the female warrior guard, Otis, it was not a matter.
You know, Otis's combat power is far above the commander of the corps, and even above the commander of the fleet.
In the Weaver Clan, Otis is one of the most powerful existences, perhaps only below the Empress, so the only one in the Lei Ling Clan whose combat power is above her is the Wanluo War Emperor.
While Carlson's speculation isn't accurate, it's not far off.
As long as Otis makes a move, it will definitely be no problem to deal with the commanders of the two legions.
"What's the matter?"
"As soon as we received the news, the convoy had appeared, which was expected to arrive in eight hours. In addition, the fleet of the Lei Ling clan sent several small warships, which should have been there to pick them up. ”
"Just a few small warships?"
"The transport fleet is escorted by warships, although the situation is not very clear, but there must be a lot of escort warships, among which there may be capital ships."
Yang Yi's brows jumped a few times, this was not in his plan.
The point is the enemy's capital ship, and if there is, then the problem is serious.
"However, the problem is not too serious."
"Are you sure?"
Otis smiled faintly and said: "The Shadow Ship is the most powerful small warship of the Weaver Clan, and it may not be able to defeat a large fleet, but if ten Shadow Ships are dispatched together, it will definitely cause big trouble for the enemy, and it is naturally not difficult to hold the enemy back." ”
Yang Yi pondered for a while, nodded slightly, and said, "You are so confident, I have confidence in you, act according to the plan." ”
Otis didn't say anything more, turned and walked away.
"Wait, you go meet the two Legion Commanders. Presumably, they all know you. ”
"They do know me, it's just ......"
"You just have to hold them back and buy us a little bit of time. When the battle starts, I will come to you personally, and then I won't have to worry about them. ”
Carlsen nodded in agreement, but was still a little worried, after all, he had two corps commanders to face. (To be continued.) )
