Chapter 41: Crisis
The questions that the nun wants to ask are nothing more than what contact you have with the subspace, what kind of heresy your mind has been polluted by, and so on, and many times, so to speak, at any time, they don't give you a chance to answer at all, and they directly label you as a heretic and put them on the stake and make them barbecue. This is exactly why the Battle Nuns are hated and even hated by all the Imperial Guards. If a monastery were to come and vet a formed defense army, then perhaps the entire company or even the entire regiment would have to be burned. Dare to resist? It is no longer a matter of heresy, but of becoming a true traitor, and the traitor will have to deal with more than just a nun.
In front of the nuns, the fate of the defense army is so tragic. Who made them subordinate to the high authority of the state religion, and we are only the lowest class of the empire......
But fortunately, there is only one nun here, as long as she cleanly does it and destroys the body before she contacts her superiors, there will basically be no consequences of being too strict. As a veteran who has served for more than ten years, it is an easy task for me to deal with a political commissar or a combat nun.
Just as I was considering whether to choose a laser pistol or an explosive pistol, Sylvia replied, "You ask, but I don't promise to answer." โ
Strangely, Sylvia had been deliberately working against the nun.
But it's nothing, the navy is different from our miserable defense forces, people are very high-level, not to mention the state religion, and even the court seems to be difficult to directly intervene in the internal affairs of the navy. After all, in terms of history and strength, the Imperial Navy has thrown a few streets away from the national religion.
I looked at the prospective opponent and saw that she wasn't as tall and stout as the usual battle nuns, just a little taller than me, and if she took off her thick-soled steel boots, she might not be as tall as me, and even in power armor, she could still see that she was a little slender, not like she had been genetically modifiedโwell, in the eyes of the nuns, mutants were as intolerable as heretics and aliens, and the nuns themselves didn't seem to be genetically modified. She looks very young, in her early twenties, and although there are some traces of battle on her body, it is obvious that they are all new, and they are left behind in the current combat strength, which means that she is not a veteran. Being able to become a Seraphic Angel shows that she has excellent training performance and courage, but even if she has been trained in combat since she learned to walk, her training years may not have been as long as my military battles. In the eyes of veterans, the champions who came out of the training ground are still rookies.
So in the current situation, if there is really a conflict, power, status, or something is all floating clouds, and big fists are the last word. Not to mention that I and Sylvia were dealing with a rookie nun, even if I were to deal with them both myself, I would be more than enough. If the nuns are still dominant in an environment where their feet don't touch the ground outside the spaceship, but at this time it's reversed.
However, to her surprise, the nun did not get angry because of the confrontation, and continued to ask calmly: "Lord Edrius told us that support from the Imperial Navy and the Imperial Defense Force will arrive soon, are you the advance personnel of the support force?" โ
Hey, the attitude is surprisingly good, and it's completely different from when I'm outside. Could it be that the enemy ship was destroyed?
Moreover, this guy is actually Eddie's subordinate......
It's strange to think that my younger brother is now more developed than me, and even a group of women under my command can casually dictate to my class. We'll see you later......
Sylvia gave a somewhat perfunctory salute, but her voice was sonorous and powerful, "Imperial Navy Logistics Fleet, Major Sylvia, Captain of the Mervid Picker!" The momentum is obviously overpowering the other party. โฆ,
Then she continued, "I have destroyed the enemy ship and now I am going to start the rescue operation against the heresy redemption." My large force is still behind and is expected to arrive in two hours. โ
Cut, the nuns are just armed with religion, and they are not regular soldiers, so what qualifications do they have to accept military salutes?! I sneered in my heart, but my face was much more respectful than Sylvia's, and I raised my hand to beat my chest, "Imperial Guard, Chief of Staff and Acting Head of the 251st Regiment of Kadian, Lieutenant Colonel Ilshan." I have brought with me a regiment of troops, which has landed on this ship and is ready for battle. Emperor bless! โ
Sometimes, it is necessary to lie to your own people, which can also be effective in boosting morale. And it must be true. I got on the boat, and my regiment was naturally on the boat. In the past, my combat strength was equivalent to half a regiment, but now that I have achieved the feat of sinking the capital ship alone, I feel that I am very modest to claim the strength of a regiment.
Sure enough, it worked, and the nun showed an excited look, "Really? The strength of a regiment? Where did they get there? Also, aren't you transports, how did you sink enemy ships? โ
"Watch your attitude, nun!" Sylvia scolded her harshly, "You're trying to find out the Imperial Navy's secret tactics!" I will report the whole process of this operation to the naval superiors in detail, but I will never do it to you! If your Inquisitor authority is high enough, you may be able to see my report, and you can go to your superiors after the war to satisfy your boring curiosity. โ
After a pause, she added, "By the way, we've already made our identities clear, now it's your turn." I will give you the confidential privileges you deserve depending on your rank. โ
This attitude can be said to be a naked slap in the face, but the nun still did not have any unhappy looks, and replied honestly: "The Silver Sacred Monument Monastery, Captain Ashvalya of the Silver Wing Commando!" โ
What does it mean to be able to endure this kind of process? It shows that they have been beaten by the enemy and cannot find the north, and if they catch someone, they will be their saviors - of course, we are the real saviors.
"How many of you commandos are there?" Sylvia asked.
"There are nine people, but when I come out, there are only ...... left to fight."
"Got it." Sylvia interrupted her, "With only one squad of troops, you're a non-commissioned officer, right?" โ
No matter how much the nun could endure it, this kind ......of problem involving class division still hurt her, but it didn't seem to have touched the bottom line, she just had an angry look on her face, and she didn't really have a seizure.
Not to mention that the nun can't stand it, even I can't see it from the side. Although he is only a small captain, the captain of the Seraphic Angel has a high status in the monastery, which can be said to be second only to the status of the Grand Nun. If the Grand Nun is equivalent to the commander of the colonel, the captain of the Seraphic Angel is at least a lieutenant colonel or a major company commander, and he also has the status of a staff officer in the command. And in fact, even an ordinary nun can stand tall when she sees the head of the defense corps, and her status in the empire is not of a grade at all.
"Okay, okay," Sylvia waved her hand, "even if you nuns are strong in combat and can fight ten of them at a time, you can count one in line, right?" Now, second lieutenant, you are to be completely obedient to me in the rest of the battle.
With a few words, Sylvia took it upon herself to promote the family to the next level. If you want to be promoted from non-commissioned officer to second lieutenant in the Defence Force just as quickly, you must have the original second lieutenant just transferred or died in battle, and no one else will compete for the position. However, the nun was clearly not happy about the promotion, but was even more angry.
Now that she had confirmed that Sylvia was not a good person to talk to, she spoke to me instead, "Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, isn't this your highest-ranking military officer?" Why should you listen to her? โโฆ,
Oh, is this to divide and co-opt? It's not clever at all. I skillfully pushed the hand, "The captain has the supreme right to do the internal affairs of a ship. โ
"But she's not ......" she just wanted to refute, but seeing that my attitude still changed, "Your number is the 251st Regiment of Kadian, right?" I will take note of your exploits and sign the certificate of loyalty to you after the battle. โ
If Sylvia's confrontation only made the nun angry, the nun's words just now caused me to be completely angry. At this moment, I really want to ignore the consequences of the backlash of the spiritual energy and pinch her to death!
My regiment has already proved its loyalty to the Empire with the lives of more than 4,000 people, and there is no need to get your scrap of paper again......
However, after all, my city is not comparable to this kind of rookie girl. Even though my anger was about to burn out my mind, I was still able to keep my face expressionless, "I'll go directly to Editius to ask for this." Now, you should first report to us on the fighting on this ship. You have two psionic Inquisitors, why haven't we heard any communication after so long? โ
It's not Sylvia's kind of shelf that relies on a position of power, I exude the murderous aura unique to an iron-blooded soldier who has been fighting for more than ten years, even if I was wearing the most ordinary defense uniform, I didn't use any tough tone, but Aishvarya didn't dare to show any affection in front of me, and obediently reported: "Lord Adrius fought against a warlock of Chaos before, and both sides were defeated. Mistress Akvetia has been out of touch for a long time with her Storm Strike Team on the front lines. Before he fell unconscious, Lord Edrius told me that there would be reinforcements, and told me to come out and contact the scattered soldiers,...... Pick you up by the way. โ
I rub! That's a lot of information.
First of all, there is a warlock in the chaos. I don't know what Eddie's abilities are, but now that he's been selected to enter the courtroom, he's certainly not far behind. If I can fight with Eddie, my strength will not be under me...... But fortunately, since it is a defeat for both sides, the enemy's combat effectiveness will not be considered for the time being.
Second, Acvetia, if she was Avi, although she also didn't know the strength of psionic powers, she was already a good fighter fifteen years ago, and after all these years, I was not sure to win against her in terms of martial arts. As a judge, she had to go into battle in person, and she was beaten and lost contact......
Of course, the most important thing is to lose contact. Only if there is an organization can it be called an army, and if there is no organization, it can only be called a rabble armed mob. The various units of a unit that have been beaten have lost contact with each other, which can be said to have failed. If it was a battlefield on the surface of the planet, it might have already begun to rout at this time. That is, on this kind of spacecraft with no way out, the scattered troops must hold on.
Even if there is no means of psionic communication, what about technological means? Radio doesn't work, what about wired communication on board? If it is in some relatively poor defense regiments, which are not worthy of radio, it is normal for communication to rely on roaring, but what kind of trouble is it to send people out to contact on the battleship? How bad is this battle?
Taking a deep breath, I slowly blew my anger out and asked in a deep voice, "Have you lost your bridge?" โ
