"Captain, you're doing a great job. You showed me the true power of the Iron Warriors. I must take credit for you, and it is no exaggeration to say that you are the real warriors. ”

Su Hao put away the blood-stained chainsaw sword, breathed a sigh of relief, raised his right hand over his forehead, and casually returned the salute: "This is what we should do." General, let's put away those boring politeness on the surface! Say, what do you want to sue me? ”

Lieutenant General Karakov was not at all angry at this direct, almost impudent attitude. He was silent for a few seconds and said, "You must have heard rumors about 'haunting' from those garrisons when the F18 position was changing guards, right?" ”

Su Hao seemed to feel something, didn't speak, just nodded.

"That's not a meaningless rumor. In a sense, it's true. Don't get me wrong, I don't believe in ghosts in the world. I've been in the DS A66 space domain for a long time, and I know more and more about this than you do. ”

Lieutenant General Karakov on the screen looked sharp-eyed: "You should have heard those sounds, they came from the helmet headphones. The soldiers called it "the whisper of the soul." Some even went crazy about it and committed suicide by swallowing a gun in front of the officers. ”

Su Hao was originally very calm, but his face changed slightly at this moment: "Is this a hypnotic tactic?" Creatures of darkness have a knack for this. They are very good at doing this, especially those dark variants with the ability to disturb minds. ”

"That's a rebel legion."

Lieutenant General Karakov finally revealed the long-sealed secret: "According to normal procedures, the main army will not support us right now. It was precisely because I found that there were traces of the rebel legion here that the Holy See shortened the time to apply for reinforcements. I only have a few blurry photographs, but if I'm not mistaken, they're hidden inside the mountain pass you've just captured. ”

Su Hao's expression became solemn.

In the Human Empire, the Rebel Legion is a very sensitive topic. Since the relevant materials were sealed by the Holy See, no one knew what happened to these legions, and it would lead them to a complete rebellion from the Empire. They possess strong fighting instincts, and their overall strength is on par with the main Empire legion, and even has special abilities that surpass the main legion. They no longer worship the emperor, are condemned heretics by the Holy See, and are eternal enemies of the empire.

There are so many space realms that it's impossible to know where these rebel legions are? They have existed for tens of thousands of years, and the area of control may even be beyond imagination. They knew that they would never be pardoned and that it was simply impossible to surrender on the battlefield.

"Rebel Legion ......"

Su Hao chewed each word slowly and asked seriously, "Do you know which legion it is?" ”

Lieutenant General Karakov said calmly: "I don't know much about this. However, judging from the news fed back from the Holy See, it is very likely to be the "Children of a Thousand Wounds" legion. It is said that they tend to avoid hand-to-hand combat, relying more on mental strength and unbelievable abilities to win battles. They are treacherous and hypocritical, and they are accustomed to misleading their opponents by using circumstances and various energy factors to win from chaos. All the tactics of the "Child of a Thousand Sores" are accustomed to being used from a distance. In such cases, even friendly forces that fought with them often suffered heavy casualties. But they won't. Illusions and trickery ensure that they are absolutely safe. At least. Rumor says so. ”

Su Hao nodded silently.

None of this information is a secret. As for the Rebel Legion, scattered information can be found in many Imperial departments. Although it is far less complete than the closed part of the Holy See, it can also give people a small amount of secrets.

Synthesizing "Haunted", as well as a qiē that I have personally experienced here, all signs are consistent with the legendary "Children of a Thousand Sores" legion.

The Holy See must have more information about this than Su Hao himself. But one thing is certain: the number of rebels in the space domain of DS A66 will not be too large. Otherwise, what came here would not be just a recruit squad composed of dozens of people under Su Hao's command, but a complete main army company, or even more.

After thinking for a moment, Su Hao said lightly: "I am short of manpower and need support." ”

General Karakov nodded: "I have ordered the urgent construction of a passage on the cliff. By early tomorrow morning, more fighters and technical equipment will be able to be transported. ”

Su Hao's face, which had been tense, gradually eased. He was only now sure that Lieutenant General Karakov did not mean anything and did not want to kill himself and his teammates in vain.

'We'll go back and attack in 10 minutes. General, I hope your men will follow. We're in charge of dealing with the ghosts who are always talking gibberish in your ears at all times, and you're in charge of dealing with the creatures of darkness. What do you think of this distribution? ”

"That's fair, just do as you say."

……

The progress of the engineering units was very smooth. On the basis of the original, the mountain road was rapidly widened, and several light self-propelled guns were brought up and erected on the firing positions of the F18 position. This kind of thing would have been unthinkable before. The dark creatures on the opposite pass controlled part of the shooting range leading to here, and even if they stayed in the position, they had to lie on the ground and hide behind cover. Heavy throwing rifles thrown from a distance blew every qiē to pieces, and occasionally a few mortars fired back, but the terrain did not threaten them.

Behind the pass is a fortress built inside the mountain. The creatures of darkness built parapets with disguise and steel, reinforcing fortifications, barricades, and heavy steel bollards. There are even a lot of burrowing larvae that breed from the wombs of living things. It is an evil creature that functions similarly to the Human Empire's electronic sensor, possessing extremely keen sensing abilities. They are not combative and pose no threat to humans, but they can emit strong bioelectric waves to warn their counterparts inside the fortress.

With the advantage of high and steep slopes, as well as the help of snow and ice covering the way, the dark creatures held the Wehrmacht firmly in the opposite direction, making it difficult to move an inch.

Now, they don't have any chance of winning.

Under Su Hao's leadership, the legionnaires braved the dense rain of arrows fired from inside the fortress and the heavy throwing spears full of death power, and continued to advance despite a single qiē. They used tomahawks and chainsaw swords to slash down protective walls, and magnetic grenades to blast open doors, smashing the qiē blocks in front of them. Not far behind the fighters, the Wehrmacht maneuvered two light construction machines to push through the barricades, and up to hundreds of armed soldiers in snow camouflage shouted and poured in. They followed closely behind Su Hao and the other legionnaires, as if it was a sharp and hard mechanical drill bit, no matter what was in the way, it would be easily broken.

The fortress inside the mountain was very hidden, and only a part of the firing port at the top was located, which could be observed from the outside. But most of the buildings are preserved inside the zài and the peaks, protected by rocks hundreds of meters behind the mountain itself. The legionnaires rushed through the blasted steel gates, and leaped high into the air along the mountain wall with their jetpacks, like a flock of red flame birds, and fell directly to the top of the fortress, beginning to weave through the rooftops and various rooms. This means the greatest crisis that must be solved for the recalcitrant dark creatures. Led by dozens of heavily armored Dark Knights, hundreds of Dark Warriors howled and counterattacked. The Wehrmacht brigade that followed immediately set up heavy weapons on the spot and beat these men who dared to resist into a sieve one by one.

"Plant a bomb at position three."

"I need more grenades."

"Immediately replenish the ammunition, the others will be prepared on the spot, and the attack will be launched in two minutes."

Skillful tactical coordination is the key to success. As the logistics assault personnel brought up the backpacks full of ammunition and supplies, there was a dull and shocking loud bang from the fortress gates. Under the action of high explosives, the heavy steel door broke a large hole, exposing the inside of the fortress. At the same time, on the mountains outside, large swaths of ice and snow were shaken, and tons fell down the cliffs, triggering a massive avalanche.

Inside the fortress is a labyrinth of damp black caves. Occasionally, old tiles can be seen on the walls and floors. Strong winds blew strongly in the passage, and the entire tunnel system whistled hoarsely like an asthma patient struggling to breathe. As far as the eye could see, there were corpses of enemies everywhere, twisted and lying to the ground, arms and legs extended, flesh and bones broken. Either human limbs severed by knives and axes, or dark creatures whose bodies have been blown off by bullets. At such times, neither the attacker nor the defender will leave their hands behind. They knew very well that there was no pity for each other at all. Weakness and pity will only lead to more heavy casualties on one's own side.

Su Hao pulled out a chainsaw sword from the chest of a dark knight, wiped a handful of blood splashed on his face, and stepped over the corpses. His heart was filled with the wrath of the dark world, and a faint pity. The latter, of course, was aimed at the rebels who were hiding inside the fortress. They no longer believe in the Emperor, and the dark culture has deceived them and forced them into the camp of resistance. This rebellion is destined to be destroyed, and the one they do is only inviting disaster to befall them.

Perhaps, this is the biggest difference between Earth, the Red Dragon Planet and the Third Phase World.

Terrible screams echoed through the rocky passages, followed by the sound of stiff and crude gunshots. Su Hao didn't deliberately keep track of the number of enemies he killed, this operation was just a necessary process for him to change his identity and gain more power. For the emperor, Su Hao did not have the fanatical worship of others. He just felt that he had to do his duty, and that he had to lead his young soldiers to victory in order to get out of the battlefield alive. In this respect, the combat mission is more like a clean-up of dark creatures. It is only when their numbers are reduced to a minimum that the Overworld will have true peace.

The word "loyalty" is worthless in Su Hao's eyes. He was an emperor in his own right. As a former practitioner, Su Hao certainly understood the anesthetic and commanding effects of the supreme power on others. Especially if you glorify a person as a god, as long as you have enough power and a convincing foundation of wealth and power, they will believe whatever you say.

A dark warrior armed with a bow and arrow stood in the shadows, shooting arrows full of hatred at Su Hao. The sharp arrow bounced off the surface of the power armor, and Su Hao raised his shotgun, subconsciously pulled the trigger, and shot down the enemy who attacked him. Flesh and blood splattered all over the stone wall. Looking at the dark warrior who was gradually dying amid the screams, Su Hao suddenly had a very wonderful feeling.

If they are willing to surrender, Su Hao will gladly accept it. After all, the victory or defeat of a war, that is, the victory of one side and the defeat of the other, as long as there are no combatants, it is naturally impossible to talk about killing.

The problem is that there is simply no peaceful coexistence between dark creatures and humans. They are natural mortal enemies.

"Go this way."

Two legionnaires followed, and according to Su Hao's order, several people rushed towards the next intersection. Su Hao followed the footsteps of the warriors, and the passage soon came to an end, and his vision became wider. Sporadic gunshots came from another passage next to him, and Su Hao saw a seriously wounded rebel soldier lying on the ground. He lay in his own blood, his wounds irreparable. The dying soldier turned his head with difficulty and looked at Su Hao with glass-like eyes, his lips furrowed, as if he wanted to say something.

He was indeed a rebel. He wears a gray-black combat uniform and wears a special insignia on his chest as a member of the Legion of the "Son of a Thousand Sores".

Like the main Imperial Legion, the Rebel Legion also has its own minions. They select the elite from among them, constantly replenish themselves, and continue to grow.

Su Hao looked at him for a few seconds, knelt down on one knee with a deep face, helped the soldier's head up with his strong arms, and asked seriously, "What did you say?" ”

The soldier was young, no more than twenty-five years old, and while breathing, blood was constantly oozing from the wound in his chest pierced by a bow and arrow: "Bless me...... I, I need the blessing of the pastor. ”

Su Hao raised his head and looked around, the military priest Torugal should be fighting somewhere else, and there was no clergy in the army nearby. In a short time, they could not make it to come. But even if he came, he could not meet the soldier's request and gave him a dying prayer.

No rebel could be forgiven unless the emperor himself agreed. The only thing the chaplain can do in this situation is to use flames to completely purify the rebel from body to soul.

He looked at the soldier and shook his head: "I can't do it. You may not last that long. ”

With the last of his strength, the soldier pleaded out in a loud voice: "Please...... If, at the time of my death, I do not receive any prayers, the other world will refuse my rest. ”

He was very sincere, and from the intermittent words, Su Hao felt that the soldier was full of remorse and wanted to repent of what he had done.

"I'm sorry."

Su Hao's voice became heavy: "You are dying, the truth is like this, it can't be changed." ”

"Help me...... Please, help me ......," the dying rebel soldier whimpered.

He was really bitter and remorseful.

"Okay!"

Su Hao sighed. He drew his combat saber, the standard short-stabbing knife. Then the power switch of the saber was turned on. The gray cutter begins to glow as the energy field activates. Su Hao quickly swung his knife, the blade cut the neck of the rebel soldier, and then gently put the man's head on the ground.

Su Hao was the only one in the passage, and everyone saw him cut a small piece of meat from the corpse of the dead soldier, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed it slowly.

There was too much information that Su Hao had never seen, impacting his brain.

The next room was unusually large. The melted snow from the mountain flowed down through a hole in the ceiling, and a cluster of rock pillars flowed down the ceiling like a silver beard, and a pool was cut out of the ground to hold the snow that flowed down, probably one of the main sources of water for the fortress.

The battle squad that had been sent according to the order was standing next to the pool.

Su Hao strode in and said to the soldiers who saw him, "Report the battle situation, what have you found?" ”

One of the warriors raised his head, glanced around, and asked curiously, "Sir, what are these?" ”

Su Hao walked up to them, and he saw that there were a lot of bottles placed around the pool, and some of them were placed in the right places where water was dripping.

At first, Su Hao thought it was to collect water. However, he saw something else: coins, brooches, strange clay dolls, small mammals, and lizard skulls. The water dripping from above fell on these items, and, it looks like they've been sitting there for a while. Su Hao even saw that some bottles and items were already attached to the mineral crystals brought by the running water. Above the pool, on the huge convex rock, there were ancient, corroded inscriptions. Su Hao couldn't recognize the words, and then he realized that he didn't want to recognize them, and these things made him feel uneasy.

After coming to the third stage of the world, Su Hao felt this way for the first time. It's strange, with a hint of fear, like a corrosive thought that is slowly devouring the inner part of your body, including the soul.

"It's a shrine."

Su Hao looked for clues from the memories of the dead rebel soldiers, and then said: "The primitive inhabitants here are in a state of ignorance, they believe in ghosts and gods, and these are their offerings to ghosts and gods. ”

The other legionnaires looked at each other, not quite understanding what Su Hao said. This is contrary to the basic concept of the Overworld, and the Holy See will never recognize gods other than the Emperor, and it will always be. The substance crystallizes.
