Chapter 50: Arrived
There was silence in the communicator, even the occasional gunshot, and it was not known whether the enemy had stopped attacking or the people on the other side had turned off the communicator.
Probably everyone was questioning that order, including myself. Otherwise, I should have taken the order as soon as possible.
But after all, the order was made by a judge with the most solemn attitude, and as the judge's direct subordinates, they had no right to refuse. As for me......
Why should I refuse? Am I still afraid that a team of nuns will not succeed? After all, even if a ground-moving cannonball that was about to explode in front of me didn't make me frown, how could a group of women be more terrible than a ground-moving cannonball? It's a big deal to make them disappear, and although I can't make all the traces of a person's existence completely disappear like the Inquisition, it is not difficult to make the physical disappearance possible.
Even a heavily armed woman.
So after a long awkward silence, I first said, "In the name of the immortal Golden Throne, I will live up to the trust of the Empire." ”
I vaguely stated my qualifications. Just like the name of the emperor mentioned when Eddie gave the order just now, this is not a casual statement, because the power of the inquisitor comes from the emperor himself in name, and every inquisitor needs to meet the emperor and get his own recognition when he is about to take office, although the emperor has been asleep and no one knows whether he has really admitted it, but even if it is a routine formality, at least every inquisitor has the qualifications of superiority. As for me, although ordinary registered psionics have no right to meet the emperor, and have only glanced at the Golden Throne from afar, this glance is enough for me to have the qualifications and status above most people in the empire. At the very least, I believe that the women of this monastery who jumped out of some remote area - at least the ordinary members - should not be qualified to visit the Golden Throne - can you afford to pay for the journey?! But not everyone has a free black boat to ride like me!
However, it is a bit risky for me to start like this, after all, I have always appeared in front of the nuns as an ordinary guard officer, but for the defense army, it is much more difficult to get a chance to visit the golden throne than for a soldier to retire alive after many battles, if the nuns think about it a little, maybe they will guess my identity as a psyker.
As soon as the great name of the Golden Throne came out, several inhaling voices sounded in the channel, presumably all of them were envious, jealous and hateful. Taking advantage of the good opportunity when the other party was in a state of shock, I gave my first order: "Emperor's daughter, report your position!" ”
The first to answer was a calm and soft middle-aged female voice, "Grand Sister Dostina, my immediate guard is in charge of guarding the Inquisitor, I'm sorry I can't join your sequence. Sisters, report location. ”
I hit a nail as soon as I came up, but I wasn't discouraged. The eldest nun, in this nun system, she is equivalent to the supreme existence of the head of the regiment, and her power is great enough and her qualifications are old enough, even if it is an order issued by the judge himself, she can disobey it. At the very least, she had acquiesced to the fact that I could take over the command of her for the time being, but at the same time she had vaguely pointed out that the orders I had issued would need to be confirmed by her before they could be executed.
Next, the reports rang out one by one.
"The first squad and the second squad of the Silver Holy Sword Squadron, a total of seventeen people, are stationed in the main engine room. There are a lot of enemies and they need reinforcements urgently! ”
"The seventh squad of the Silver Holy Sword, stationed in the second hangar, can still hold on."
"Silver Holy Sword Fourth Squad, we are in a weapons warehouse, the exact location is unknown."
"Silver Holy Flame Squad, no casualties, stationed in the officer's cafeteria. We are running out of ammunition. ”…,
"Silver Wings, we...... Hmm...... "Ashwarya, who was beside me, was about to speak, when she was interrupted by a slap on Sylvia's helmet.
It's also very smooth, and it's beyond my imagination. However, I will have to go through a seemingly difficult process before I can fully take command. The nuns were divided and surrounded, and some didn't even know where they were.
The casualties were not reported, but only four of the at least seven squads in the main squadron could be contacted, which already shows how bad the situation is. Even if they were all gathered together, it would be estimated that it would be the size of forty or fifty people, barely a platoon of troops, and all of them were infantry, although they were much more powerful hoplites than ordinary defense forces, but in front of thousands of enemies, what was this number?
No artillery, no armor, no fortifications, how can this battle be fought......
Wrong! Why is my mentality so low, I can't fight if I only have infantry?
Let's think about how to free the besieged nuns.
Secondly, they need to be given sufficient and appropriate ammunition. When faced with this kind of problem, I realized what a wise and correct decision it was to install laser rifles on a large scale in the Empire, all kinds of special weapons are indeed powerful enough, but they will definitely make the logistics officer cry to death!
The Grand Nun's voice sounded again, "Your Excellency Lieutenant Colonel, I will ask you to rescue one of our logistics teams first. They were not combatants and had some wounded with them. ”
"Location?"
"It should be in the core logic engine room."
"It's a well-defended place," Sylvia interjected, "and it's not going to be easy to fall into." And, if I can't capture the bridge quickly, I'll also go and capture the logic engine first. ”
I also think it's a good idea. The bridge can issue orders to the crew of the whole ship and command the overall situation in a unified manner, while the core logic engine is actually more powerful and can directly control the battleship itself. Of course, many of the functions of the battleship must be operated manually, and the logic engine cannot be operated to every detail, but at least in general it can still give us a great advantage.
And, in addition to the core logic engine, the non-combatants of the nuns were a temptation for me.
The Sisters of Combat are the direct armed forces of the Holy See, but our defense forces always hate the Sisters of Battle, but few of them directly hate the Holy See, except because the Holy See will send us Imperial Bishops who are good at boosting morale and do not like to shoot people like political commissars, the medical nuns and scribe nuns sent by the Sisters are also very popular with everyone. No one dared to guarantee that they were not wounded, and although the medical nuns were not combatants, they could go directly to the battlefield to rescue the wounded, which alone allowed the medical nuns to earn a higher status in the eyes of the soldiers than most officers. The scribe nun is a civilian trained by the state religion, and often helps the defense force deal with some copywriting problems, after all, the defense army is mostly rough people, even if it is a literate officer from a regular military academy, most of them do not like to squat in the office. Don't underestimate these trivial paperwork, if there is no civilian responsible for the vast amount of documents, the army will not be able to record its own merits and honors, will not be able to deal with personnel changes, and in many cases it will be difficult to complete such a life-and-death major matter as applying for the transfer of materials. Moreover, according to reliable sources, requests for supplies, which are filled out by the scribe nuns, are often more likely to be approved than those written by officers. As a staff officer with some formal education and therefore a frequent guest appearance in the civilian service, I am all too aware of the importance of civilian work.
Considering that I still have a company recruiting quota in my hand, I suddenly want to go there and dig up a few people. Anyway, for the sake of the face I took care of him so much, Eddie should be able to meet my little request.
Just as I was about to ask Sylvia to lead the way, there was a small commotion among the crew members walking in front.
As we approached the nuns along the way, the crew in front of us had also encountered several skirmishes, all of which had won without any danger, and had never encountered such a situation as before. It's not normal......
