The death of the Superintendent was quite a heavy blow to the rebels, and the soldiers were loyal to the Superintendent and they relied on a lot of support for their victory, and the Superintendent's grasp of the battle situation and high-intensity computing power also depended on them.

Now that the Imperial Guard has taken over the war mission, the Mechanic Forge world and the settlements are still in ruins, and the pain left on the surface by the messy traces of death and ruins will not heal in the short term.

Only a strong centralized power can exert the unity and will of the citizens of the empire, but how his disciples can do it, even the emperor does not know.

And what pains Alan Bair's heart is that his badge and one of Skady's non-commissioned officers need to follow the Mechonist sages or they'll dry up like a dehydrated fish.

At the same time, the Imperial Guard needed to conquer the Himalaya-like man-made object in a short time, a huge fortress that was almost impregnable under the strong industrial and material science foundation of the Empire.

The officers of the Imperial Guard gathered under the dim, promethium lamps, and in the makeshift trenches and engineering equipment, the field command post was still made of the strongest metal, or at least the strongest they could find.

But there are no cluttered lines, just a few tables, chairs, benches, and hand-drawn strategic maps drawn by the oilman in a cramped, stuffy, fully enclosed space on a rough concrete foundation and thick imperial metal.

It was rudimentary, but it was enough with the communicators down, and the tables were set out in squares around the middle of the place around which the few officers of Skadi were around.

Although they were all experts in tactics and the war had experienced numbness, now that the radio was down, the Imperial Guard needed to plan it all at once, and determine the three bases, place, time, target, or code.

The absence of sound and connection represents disorder and reduced combat effectiveness, and the absence of heavy armor cover represents sacrifice and death, and there is no doubt that this will be a tough battle, Alan Bair looked at the map of the nest capital, his finger running across the rough plane.

"The communicator is almost gone, and I'm honored to feel the smell of the forest again, and of course our hometown is much better than this."

"We must determine all the goals and circumstances at once, and ensure that victory and the Emperor's favor are close to us."

"First of all, we need to understand the situation, second lieutenant, and report on where we are at the moment."

The second lieutenant straightened out his uniform, especially his carapace, which was wiped clean at the moment, he couldn't even set foot in such a place before, but after the last time he defended the cathar castle and "almost" won a Chaos Space Marine championship single-handedly, he was obviously promoted, although not in terms of rank, but it also said that his status is now.

"Ahem, you may be seeing me here for the first time, but you're probably no stranger to me, and I'm honored to be able to..."

Alan Baier scolded suddenly. "What kind of are you talking about, we all ate in the same trench, enough is enough, you go down and listen, private."

The second lieutenant froze. "Boss, you can't, I... Well? What... Private ?! ”

At this moment, a young man is wearing a baggy military uniform and new body armor, and his hair is greasy and stained.

"That's right, it's me, sir, good day, now please step down."

The second lieutenant choked up for a long time, he wanted to use his rank to suppress it, but he saw the appearance of the non-commissioned officer Katachang over there rolling up his sleeves.

Military rank? The rank has a P!

He stepped down immediately, humiliated under the watchful eye of Skadi and the other bigwigs, but Alan Baier didn't need a small staff member to introduce himself, he only needed two kinds of people: soldiers and commanders.

It's not that Alan Baier doesn't like soldiers to express themselves, it's just that on this battlefield, he doesn't need people, only things, on the contrary, he starts talking directly after the private walks to the central area.

He opened his backpack and pulled out a hand-drawn strategy map comparable to that of a professional level, clearly marking the difference between the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Guard and the Mechonism and the general situation of the capture points, as well as his personal opinion on recommending that company to suppress and attack, compared to which the second lieutenant seemed more overstretched.

It's not that he doesn't care, it's just that the point is wrong, Alan Baier doesn't blame him for the concept, it's just that his professional background does have advantages.

Private also spoke at this moment.

"We are currently fighting in this core city of the Imperial Casting World called Pan Lan, which covers an area of about 2,435 square kilometers, but the core area is actually only a few tens of kilometers away, such as military equipment and factories that can make munitions and a location like Starport, so this core area of the main nest can be roughly divided into."

He coughed, pointed his finger at the strategy map, and said. "This is the factory area, which produces most of the guns and ammunition, and then this is the residential area, full of human resources, and then the main roads, and monitoring this is equivalent to mastering the transportation core of Pan Lan."

"Then there is the area of the city wall, where there are many cathars, so their firepower cuts off the people inside the city from fleeing, and secondly, even if they leave the city, the temperature outside the nest capital is enough to burn ordinary people."

"But I think it's sad enough that the walls that once protected the citizens of the Empire are now accomplices in their killing."

"Next up is the Cathar base, which is a gathering place for the traitorous sages, because the Governor did not allow anything wise to come near the core of the Divine Calculation Tower after the betrayal, so it has also become a gathering point for the core of the traitors, and it is also the fortress of the Mechanics, the monastery, full of the worship of the god of all machines by the once loyalists."

"It's tentatively estimated that it's equipped with a large Void Shield generator and about 100,000 fighter servants and countless weapons."

"Personally, I'm inclined to fight in the heart, and I can use the captured Mechinakon sages to spread the word about the arrival of the Imperial Guard and the Empire's attitude toward them to create division and panic."

Alan Baier nodded lightly, this plan is indeed good, the current mechanical religion has indeed become loose and fearful because of the Governor's abnormal xenophobia at the moment, but it does not mean that this task is easy, fear is one thing, expectation and faith are another, they are also afraid of the Empire, and they are also afraid of the Governor, but the choice between the two, they have already done it.

And this task must be someone who understands the oil guy very well and is oriented towards the Imperial Guard, and Alan Baier's candidate is already there.

The second is that they have a military source, and even if the current governor is strong because of the heretic power, he is only a man, and his pride and greed have isolated him.

As long as this plan can be accomplished, it is obviously easier to deal with a governor than it is to deal with half of the Foundry World.

At this moment, the private continued. "There is also an area where the leader of the heresy is located, a disgusting traitor who has killed countless of my fellow sinners."

"That's the Divine Calculation Tower, which is also the starport of this world, the tallest building in the sky, and the core of the traitors."

"It has the world's most powerful Void Shield system and a heavy Adamantite structure to maintain its absolute power, and the underlying foundation is almost embedded in the center of the earth."

"So it's almost impossible for us to break through the enemy's defenses from underground, and it's hard for long-range firepower to break through the battleship-level void shield."

"So... We need to assemble a special assault force that can force a breach of the enemy's interior and then destroy the enemy's Void Shield generator, but I also know that I, as a newcomer, should not make such a choice, and I am asking the Imperial officers for this at this time, I think this is the best way to go. ”

Silence, this is the choice of death, even the Skadis can't accept such a plan casually, but Alan Bair stood up. "I agree, if it were me I would too."

Then he smiled wryly. "Of course, I also know that this operation will be dead, but I will also go to it, and during this time the command of the troops will be handed over to the private, who will organize the Imperial Guard to carry out the sabotage and invasion of the base of the Mechonia Cathar.

At the end of this sentence, the second lieutenant immediately shouted. "No, what, he just joined the group, and such an adventure shouldn't be carried out by you, boss, let me go!"

The other officers were also agitated, and they stood up straight, as if to say that they would not listen to the order, but Alan Barr slapped the table angrily.

Boom! The thick metal table was smashed in whole and broken in half, and the metal spikes slashed through Alan Bair's palm, and blood trickled down his face.

"What are the responsibilities of a soldier?!" He asked.

Others answered. "Obey, kill, protect!"

Alan Baier nodded. "So the next step is for me, Katachan, and the elite officers of the 1st Company to form this unit and go inside the enemy to wreak havoc."

"And your temporary commander will be executed by a private, he is still very immature, you will be his adjutant second lieutenant, and you will also join the chief of staff."

The staff officer, who had been acquiescing to Alan Bair's actions, suddenly coughed. "What..."

"You don't have the right to command me, I'm independent of the only Skadi Regiment, so I choose to go to the Divine Calculation Tower with you, you are the core of the Skadi, understand?"

Alan Beyer replied. "Then what if I leave! What if the Skadians became the ones who couldn't fight without me? I don't need soldiers to be my subordinates, I want you to live under all circumstances, not arrogantly contempt for other commanders, and not just dependent on me. ”

"Now I said it directly, the second lieutenant and private are my heirs, and if one day I can no longer maintain the titles of War Lord and Skady Commander, then they are the only commanders!"

The officers were partly talked, watching in silence, the staff officer's face was gloomy, he knew that the lieutenant colonel was right, everyone in this dark universe didn't know what would happen, if one day Skady couldn't contact the lieutenant colonel, would it be wiped out?

The private is also very clever and understands people's feelings, and continues to speak. "We currently occupy the factory area, the residential area, and the main street, but the Mechanic Cathar Corps has disabled our equipment and servants with the help of psionic electromagnetic pulses, and in this time they have taken over most of the military locations with the help of mechanical power."

The officers turned their heads and sat down, and acquiesced in the execution of this matter, although it was still difficult to accept that this young man who was not in the middle of the world was their commander, but it must also be recognized.

Only the second lieutenant was different, and when he received orders from Alan Bair, he understood one thing, he was the "big brother".

He is the "eldest brother of the family" and his eldest approves of it, then there is no doubt about it.

The second lieutenant held out his hand to stop the recruit. "You kid is really, a miracle soldier from the sky, the boss doesn't believe that I can live a good life with my brothers, does he?"

He thought for a moment, and then said to Alan Baier. "Boss, I'm sure I'll take care of this kid, you don't have to worry about other things, the chief of staff is also with me, you just need to kill that heretic, and then wait for us to come to support."

Alan Baier sighed. "It's me who supports you, Skadi, we must always remember that the proud army will be defeated, and we have always despised the Koban origins, but there are many things that link us beyond blood and tradition, for the sake of our fellow human beings, whether it is Koban or Katachan, it is enough to kill the enemy."

"There are only two kinds of people in this world, the victors and the losers, and I ask all the people who are still alive to be the winners, no matter how much it costs and how many sacrifices it takes."

"The price of obedience is simply not high in comparison."

"Now, Katakan is out of line!"

At the sound of an order, the Katakhams stepped out of the crowd. "Yes, Captain!"

Alan Bair said again. "Officers out of the ranks!"

People in military uniforms with numerous badges on their chests came out of the ranks.

"Yes, Captain."

Alan Bair said. "We have to fight the heretics again, no matter what, whenever and wherever we are, we have to do so, and we have always been prepared for this, as the oldest members of this regiment, we have a responsibility, this responsibility is inherited from the predecessors of the Imperial Guard when the orcs attacked from the trenches, and it is still preserved today, and now, it is time for us to fulfill it!"

"Action goal, turn off the Void Shield, kill the heretics, and protect the Empire!"

"Nothing else, do you still have questions?"

The soldiers replied. "Nope!"

But a few "recruits" raised their hands. "Boss, I want to go too!"

Alan Bair said. "You're not former members of the Third Regiment, we are, you know."

"If you think you're qualified, go head-to-head and pick up one of our old things."

At this moment, the Katachan soldier raised his arm, revealing his bronze arm and the Katachan demon tattoo on his horse.

And this scene looked in the eyes of the private, the appearance and experience of being pushed away by the adjutant that day suddenly repeated, vividly, and he understood why he joined the Imperial Guard.

This is the inheritance, the thing that keeps the empire going, what continues to this day...
