Chapter 136: Rescue Plan, Each with a Ghost Child
The correspondence of Sergeant Katachan, Lieutenant General Macato, officers of the Empire, or other messy forces, and even the Casting Governor had to reproduce a copy of the planning process here.
Truth be told, this was the first time Alan Bair had presided over such a large war plan involving a quarter of a sector of the astral army in such a large area.
Maybe this is the representative of his dedication and recognition of the Empire, but in any case, now he needs to use his own plans and wisdom to complete the much-anticipated rescue operation.
For the Empire, the existence of those mechanical priests is even more precious than the Iron Gate, and at the end of this fortieth millennium, humanity has experienced countless losses and betrayals, and electronic devices are strictly restricted, making it almost impossible to store valuable things, and those mechanical priests are the "hard drives" of humanity today.
They may be arrogant and stupid, but the STC they inherited from their sage teacher is one of the countless long roots that sustain the human empire.
If the loss of a Mecha priest means that the empire may lose something that can be made in the future, as large as the orniths used in this sector, or even sentinel mechs, as small as civilian promethium lamps or laser gun batteries, although there must be more than one priest in the empire who knows about those things, their death may make the precarious situation of this sector even worse.
Saving those fools, the matter becomes urgent, but Alan Bair will not blame General Makato, if it were not for his plan and execution, the Iron Gate would only be destroyed by the heretical Omen's Ark, and there would be no so-called rescue plan at all.
Alan Baier straightened his military uniform and looked at the people here, the entire world of this star system, there were hundreds of thousands of Imperial Guards, hundreds of thousands of Imperial Navy, and hundreds of billions of people were waiting for him.
The president of the previous life was just like that? No, you have to be the head of the Human Alliance or something, Alan Baier smiled self-deprecatingly.
"So." He has no draft, no design, no mess and no so-called PPT, he is not a company report, but naturally wants to express his thoughts.
"Ladies of the Empire, you should know exactly what the so-called orcs are, they only know how to take, they are greedy and stupid, they trample on the land, pollute the environment, they are worthless, aliens are such things."
After the opening remarks, the Imperial officials present couldn't help but nod their heads, this is the orc, aptly described and nimble, as if the green, disgusting thing was in front of them, interfering with their meeting.
"But we can't ignore the fact that the Blood Axe is different from the traditional orcs, they are not messy, they have military traditions, they will form legions, they will plan, they will lurk, they will shell and detour."
"The least alarmist is that in individual cases, the military qualities of the Blood Axes may have surpassed those of the Imperial Guard."
At this moment, an Imperial Navy colonel stood up. "I'm sorry to interrupt you, the emperor is above, how can an orc be—" he thought for a moment. Such order? ”
Alan Bair replied. "The history of the Blood Axe clan is a long time, and in the greatest moment of the empire, those orcs began to imitate when they saw the strength of humans, so they continued, swelled, and changed their constitution."
"Actually, you can open the attachment 034 prepared by General Macato, which records the losses that the Blood Axe Clan has caused in this sector, as well as the appearance of the Blood Axe in several battles between the Empire and the Orcs, and the Blood Axe has also had a record of trading with the human fringe world."
The sound of the pages turning made Alan Baier feel that he was not being a teacher, and this sense of deviation made him uncomfortable.
Others raised objections. "If the Blood Axe was once so powerful, why is it the least common among the mainstream orc clans now?"
Alan Bair replied. "This matter of violating the nature of orcs cannot be changed, no matter how powerful they are, there will be something wrong, the Imperial Research Institute observed a large decrease in the blood axe orcs about hundreds of years ago, and the relevant information can be found in the follow-up document of Annex 034."
"Overall, the Bloodaxe Orcs are decaying, but their characteristics are destined to be cunning and difficult for the Bloodaxe, and I thank General Makato once again for the various attachments he provided for this project, and his investigation has had a great effect on this project."
Old Macato blushed. "Ahem, if it weren't for the arrival of Lieutenant Colonel Alan Bair, this information would just be eating ashes."
The two of them were at each other's knees at the moment, but the officers did realize the importance of this operation and Alan Baier's knowledge of orcs was indeed not bad, and the threat of orcs had always been at the top of the countless enemies the empire faced.
Although the Imperial Guard and the Imperial Navy usually don't deal with each other in terms of mouth, their attitude when a truly capable person comes to power is surprisingly consistent, that is, to keep their mouths shut.
They knew that if the emperor really blessed, then the lieutenant colonel was indeed a good medicine for the empire today, like being shaped by the emperor, a fatal blow to the orcs, and also the emperor's orc killer, then they had to seize the opportunity.
But there were still people who didn't fit in in this atmosphere, and when Icarus realized that the Imperial Guard commander in front of him might be on a par with him in terms of knowledge, even on the orc side, the alien aspect that he paid the least attention to, also had a slight extremity.
His eyes swept over the information, greedy for experience knowledge, and soon he felt that the hunger and thirst were still not gone, he wanted to know more, and the treasure trove was close at hand, and the wet pieces of the Imperial Guard Lieutenant Colonel could give me more.
His restlessness and urgency were cooled by his emotional controller, and in the eyes of ordinary people, he was just an ordinary member of the Mechanics who had lost his arm and honor due to the orc invasion, and ordinary people in the empire lacked mechanical knowledge, and rarely had so much communication with orcs.
It can be said that with the exception of the same mechanical priest or the sophisticated orc commander like Alan Bair, most people can't rely on the difference between sides to judge whether the person in front of them is a heretic.
It may not be the empire that most people imagine, but the empire is not really crazy and stupid, and the Inquisition, while extreme and dangerous, is far from being able to report heresy.
It can even be said that the inquisitors' ambush, hiding, and investigation are the main means and countermeasures of the empire to defeat the demons of the subspace in many cases, if the demons' dislike of something can surpass that of the gray knights, then it must be those conscientious inquisitors, no matter how disgusting their actions are, or those actions are terrifying, but they are all heroes of the empire, whether you approve of it or not.
Today, a heretic is buried in such an important meeting, even taking on the task of a dignitary, but very few people are aware of it.
Lieutenant Colonel Alan Bair could only continue to speak.
"I've studied the orcs here, and first of all, I think the location of the mechanics should be the innermost place of the Iron Gate."
"In the former Church of Ommesaiah, the God of Machines, because the area is large, the space is sufficient, and the location is deep enough to withstand bombardment and invasion."
"On the contrary, the junction of this church is narrow, and because the asteroid interior is full of moisture and is wet and narrow, it is easy to suppress the invasion of large forces and relieve the pressure on the orcs defense."
"It will definitely be difficult for the Imperial forces to break through head-on, and there is no doubt that this position is very suitable."
At this moment, an officer raised his hand, and Alan Baier nodded.
said the officer. "Why there, we have other possibilities, such as the base compared to the warehouses below, and the orcs may scatter the hostage locations."
Alan Bair replied. "Dispersing the hostage position will lead to the possibility of a part of the Mechanic being rescued, the orcs now have almost no military strength or strategic advantage, the Mechanic Sect is their only weight, and losing a little means that their danger increases."
"If I were One-Eyed, I would definitely guard those precious red-robed people, and secondly, I don't recommend a war of attrition, because the greenskins can photosynthesize, and at the same time there are heretics eyeing us next to us, don't forget the Red Pirates, everyone."
The officers fell silent, they weren't sure, but the person in front of them seemed to be the only possibility, but someone still said. "How to break through, large-scale troops can't get close, and orcs may also tear up tickets, if it weren't for the emperor descending to earth, I don't think anyone would be able to get close to so many orcs quietly."
Alan Bair replied. "Drill, we'll parachute from the top of the surface base of the Steel Gate, and then rely on engineering equipment to drill holes, penetrate thick layers of pure gold and terracotta steel, as well as asteroid rock formations, and steal those priests out bit by bit."
At the moment, Makato couldn't sit still. "Oxygen, food, supplies, and how the loud sound of the borehole is buried, although we have the blueprints, if you are close to the interior of the orc habitation, the sound will be transmitted to the ears of the orcs by the metal."
"And I can expect this position to be a full hundred meters deep, even if you drill the best one-man engineering equipment in the empire with all your might, it will take three days to completely penetrate, not to mention that you still need to bring people out."
"The Poldero can't watch you smash supplies!"
Alan Baier nodded. "Our regiment has thousands of powered weapons, and the sabotage stance can pry those things apart, faster and quieter than any drill from humans at the moment, with only a slight buzz and a slight attention to the servo output."
Makato licked his lips. "Are you a madman? Power weapons are not engineering drills, they are uncontrollable, they are murderous things, and the explosion from an overload will kill you all, or if you don't do it properly, you will fall into the circle of orcs, and there will be no place to die. ”
"If you dig slowly, then the oxygen will be empty, and the jump suit is not designed to be able to stay in a vacuum for days."
Alan Bair replied. "One day, give me one day, if we don't finish it, I'll signal that the Imperial Guard has turned the operation into a forced invasion, and we'll be the target of orc fire."
The words ended, and there was a long, silent silence, although the Empire had always emphasized that sacrifice could be exchanged for the honor and approval of the Emperor, no one would want any Imperial Guard to leave this terrible universe, let alone the young man in front of him who was confident and capable.
An officer stood up, he was about forty years old. "I'm here to direct this operation, don't rob me, Lieutenant Colonel Alan Byer, you have to live."
The other also stood up, much younger and promising. "I'm coming, I still have a lot of service to live, and I probably won't live to retire, so this action should be given to me."
Alan Baier looked at them, they were all officers who had just raised the question, but he didn't agree, just said. "Just let Father Icarus come."
"He is one of the designers of the Iron Gate, genius and young, just experienced the Alien Raid, he is also full of anger in his heart, and he can guide the only Skadi regiment to fall accurately into the enemy's interior."
Alan Bair had never been afraid of orcs, and he believed that even in the worst case, the only group of Skadi was surrounded by orcs, they could survive, but only this heresy he couldn't let go.
Before this Mecha heresy can wreak havoc, he needs to kill this thing, lest his madness become a spike buried in the Imperial Guard and ruin the entire plan.
Now it is just dealing with a one-eyed apprentice Blood Axe, if he hides until the decisive battle with the Red Pirates and then goes crazy, the resulting damage may directly cause the empire to lose a star sector, about 400-500 worlds, and countless imperial lives.
As the only intelligent person, he must find a way to deal with this heresy, and the completely unsupervised Void is the best place, and he has many ways to invade the orc gathering place, and he can even invade directly and destroy those aliens before One-Eye can come to his senses.
But a traitor heretic is more hateful than an alien, Alan Baier knows too well what should be the most important thing to deal with, and he will not delay any lesions, if the empire has one percent of his agility, then humanity can now go back to the Golden Age, he thought to himself.
And this guy in front of him can't refuse, he only has two choices, either run away as a heretic, or join the operation as a loyalist, and then give his life to Alan Baier.
Priest Icarus, standing up under the gaze, stretched out his twisted mechanical claws.
"Mechanic priest, data craftsman, Icarus, please advise, Lieutenant Colonel."
Alan Bair replied. "Icarus, the allusion to Guterra, the man who made wings to fly towards the sun, the seeker, the curious, is a good name for you."
Icarus asked, with a faint hint of surprise. "What happened to that gentleman?"
Alan Bair replied. "His waxy wings melted by the sun's temperature and fell to his death above the endless ocean." Then he added inwardly that the void and the ocean were similar, Mr. Icarus.
Driving, please pay attention to the words used by Lieutenant Colonel Alan Beyer when describing the location of the church of the Mechanical
