Chapter 452: Thaddeus's First Command
My name is Thaddeus, and I was originally a Spartan, and now I am a soldier in the Kingdom of Winter.
I serve in the Winter Knights, the ace unit of the Winter Kingdom, but I'm not a powerful knight, just a very ordinary member of the Knights.
So when Commander Gareth Stanton ordered me to lead a team dedicated to eliminating the mages whose enemies were hiding, I was a little nervous.
Take a deep breath, then exhale ~ take another deep breath and exhale ~
After adjusting his mentality, he turned around and faced the team members I led: "This mission, the temporary code name of our team is Echo, and it is responsible for cleaning up all the temple mages on the west side of the battlefield, do you have any questions?" β
"Nope!"
I was relieved that the four men replied crisply, with their voices sonorous and powerful, and they didn't joke or joke.
It was the first time I was officially a commander, and I was so nervous, thankfully they couldn't see my face while I was wearing a helmet......
"Captain."
"What?"
"Your helmet."
ββ¦β¦β
I felt my cheeks steaming hot as I took the helmet and put it on, but I decided to ignore him and act as if nothing had happened.
At this moment, the hatch of the Kun fighter opened, and the originally dazzling red light went out, and the green light, which symbolized the battle, lit up.
"Echo Squad, let's go!"
"Dog, dog!"
"Wuhu~"
"The stupid 'beep-'s-'s, 'Uncle, is here!'
Listening to the various shouts coming from the communication channel, the original tension suddenly disappeared.
"Watch your distance and stay in formation!" While paying attention to the data on the screen, I looked at the target location that was about to 'land', and soon I found the target: "Mark, clear the field!" β
"Roger!"
Watching Mark in the lower right turn on the missile launcher and bombard all the archers and full-armed infantry on the ground, I glanced at the altimeter again.
"Adjust your posture and slow down!"
Rumble!
The thruster was activated, and the teammates who had been falling like a large lump of iron were all in the air, and then they 'smashed' on the ground one after another.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
I was the last to land, and this was the first time I had enjoyed this treatment when the commander was protected by his crew when he landed.
To be honest, nothing special.
"Keep an eye on your surroundings."
While ordering the team to search for targets, I couldn't help but glance in the direction of the main battlefield not far away.
"Huh~ It looks so spectacular."
Three thousand heavily armored knights, dressed in heavy armor and shining with various lights on their armor, were charging north.
Three thousand well-built horses, equally heavily armoured, galloped across the earth with a loud rumbling sound that reached the ears as if several hammers were striking the heart.
It's a feeling to stand from a distance and watch, let alone face the impact head-on.
"Very strong cavalry troops, alas...... Pick the wrong opponent. β
Glancing in the direction of the Knights of Tiran in the distance, the three Apocalypse tanks in the center and on the sides were adjusting their turrets......
Boom Boom!
The apocalypse fired, and so did his teammates.
"Captain, it's a mage!"
"Kill them!" I no longer pay attention to the situation on the main battlefield, I focus on the task at hand, and through the search device on the helmet, I have already found a lot of hostile targets: "Keep your distance, pay attention to your surroundings, this time it is a group action, do not scatter ......"
"Fifty meters in front of the left, a team of archers!"
"High-explosive missiles!"
"Mage, there's a shield!"
"Flashbangs, fires!"
"Assassin spotted in the rear!"
Hearing the team's report, I immediately stopped firing and handed over the mage and his guards to my teammates: "Assassin to me!" β
After turning around again, he immediately used various detection systems to search for the assassin's location, and after a second of nothing, he immediately raised his foot and stepped on the ground hard.
Dedication!
Although it didn't take long to learn this skill, it couldn't perfectly convert the holy light released on the ground into enough damage, but it was enough to force the invisible assassin to reveal his body.
"Humph!"
A muffled grunt came from beside me, and when I turned my head, I realized that the assassin had reached out and grabbed my assault rifle, as if trying to snatch my weapon away.
For this kind of naΓ―ve stupidity, I didn't bother to say anything to him, 'I want to snatch the rifle from the Winter Knight wearing Blizzard Power Armor, it's absolutely impossible', I directly threw my arms to the side, and directly threw the assassin away, and fell heavily on the ground ten meters away.
Raise your gun, aim, shoot!
A bright mist of blood exploded, and a tactical flashbang was fired from his left arm: "Watch out for flashbangs!" β
Bang!
A bright light flashed, and after releasing a few more dedications, no more assassins were found, and it seemed that there was only one such thing in ambush here.
Turning around, the team members had already killed the mages and the guards.
"What an easy task."
"It's a pity, if only we followed the brigade to assault the position of the mage troops on the opposite side."
"That's no different from now, isn't it?"
"You can fire a few more shots......"
Listening to the conversation in the team channel, I couldn't help but open my mouth: "Maybe it's because there are too many teammates, I haven't got a single kill." β
"Hahaha, it's really possible!"
People say things like, 'After all, we were too weak to be assigned to clean up some miscellaneous soldiers on the edge of the battlefield,' and by the way, they hope that they can become stronger in the future.
Although they are indeed the weaker ones in the Winter Knights, they have passed all kinds of rigorous training, successfully mastered the Holy Light, and become real paladins.
So, we all have a bright future!
What's more, the Winter Knights will definitely continue to expand, and those present will at least be able to mix the captaincy at that time.
"When the time comes, our captain can be promoted again."
"You don't have to wait for the recruits to join, when you go back this time, the captain will be able to rise to the rank of general, right?"
"Definitely...... By the way, what's up to the captain? β
"O school officer! As a soldier in Winterfell, don't you even remember such an important thing? β
"I can't go up again, why do you remember this? Hey...... Look over there, the Knights Templar have been crushed by the Knights of Tiran......"
Listening to the conversation of the team members, I was still thinking about whether I could be promoted from lieutenant to captain after I went back this time, but a sentence once again attracted my attention to the main battlefield.
On the wide plain, thousands of Knights Templar in gorgeous armor were easily destroyed by the Knights of Tiran using heavy artillery, rifles, and grenades to destroy the formation and the momentum of the charge, and then they were killed by the Knights of Tiran, who wore heavy cavalry systems.
Even if a small number of Knights Templar deliberately left the 'battlefield' and reorganized their formation, they would be killed by the Apocalypse Tank not far away.
Looking at the Knights Templar, who were powerless to fight back, I don't think that the Holy Gaunt Kingdom would be able to turn the tables around.
Not only the war ahead, but also the complete destruction of the Holy Gaunt Kingdom and the Temple awaits.
"It looks like this war is over."
Continuing to search for enemy mages on the flanks of the battlefield, I contacted Megatron after finding no enemies around.
Megatron, who was in the air and could overlook the entire battlefield, quickly provided me with new target information - even if the enemy had the ability to hide himself, once the mage started casting spells, any concealment skills would lose their effect, and Megatron in the air could easily spot them.
With the new target location information, I took my four Winter Knights and rushed over as fast as I could, and then eliminated the target.
However, after getting the target information three times, I didn't receive any new location information, and only got the command to 'stand by'.
"What's wrong?"
Looking at the team members who were looking at me, I could only spread my hands and give my guess: "Maybe there are no enemies nearby." β
"It seems that this is it."
"This Sacred Gaunt Kingdom is too unresistant, so dare to provoke Winterfell?"
"I hope the battle will be a little more exciting."
"Impossible, this battle should wipe out all the soldiers of the Holy Gaunt Kingdom and the Temple."
Three thousand Knights Templar, five thousand fully armed infantry, and more than a thousand mages, and with this 'terrifying' number in mind, I seriously doubt that there are still young men in the Holy Gaunt Kingdom who can serve as soldiers.
In this case, won't there be anything going on with the Winter Knights in the future?
If I want to be promoted to Captain, will I have to wait until Winterfell goes to war with the Sodurum Empire, or the New Elean Federation?
If you think a little further, will you never be promoted to the rank of school officer?
After all, there are only a few countries around the Winter Kingdom, and maybe after unifying the human kingdom, there will be no battles in the future.
Smacking my lips, I began to seriously think about whether the soldiers would still have such good welfare benefits if Winterfell didn't fight in the future. Shouldn't I be looking into what else I can do to make a living?
Open a restaurant? Tavern? Or get a wife before that? How many big fat boys and big fat girls are born?
Alas, but most of the time I stayed in the barracks, and I didn't know who to find as a wife for a while, and after this war was over, I had to look for a good woman, and I must find a good woman with strong enough bones.
By the way, Shirley, as a cop in Winterfell, knows a lot of people, maybe I can ask her to introduce me to a suitable person.
If you ask someone for help, do you have to give a gift, a meal, or something?
What should I give?
Before I could figure out the answer, the order to retreat had been given, and after standing in place for a long time, my team and I were quickly picked up by the Kun fighter and flew back to the garrison together.
