The serpent lay down from a sandbag slope outside the command post to watch what was happening in the trench area, those stupid works were undoubtedly an obstacle to the war, as he expected, but even without the help of pdf, there were only 10,000 people here, unable to resist the menacing evil.

This is destined, it will not change because the project is poorly done, it will be cruel, they can only delay time, just like the people in the myth of Sisyphus, who keep pushing stones, but they are destined to die of exhaustion because of this matter.

The floggers were riveting the broken fence, and even though it was still creaking and moving the broken planks, the muscular monsters had done their job well, and the soldiers had come out of the bunkers on both sides, fastening them with sandbags and barbed wire to cover the monsters, and the monsters that stood still were used to slaughter the enemies who charged in front of the Imperial Loyalists.

Now it has become a stalemate, the enemy cannot take this place by taking the position, and the soldiers of the PDF and the lord cannot sweep those who have tarnished the emperor's honor from the ground, and now the war has turned into the wreckage of the wall breaker that is constantly churned by the blades, and both the invaders and the defenders continue to give their lives, exploding, shooting, dying, and repeating.

"Emperor, it's like a tavern that is about to close its doors and filthy ghosts who haven't had enough of it." Wild Snake's not-so-good sense of humor made him say this, and although no one listened, he smiled at it, even though it was not a good joke.

He didn't know how long those "nails" would last, he needed a while, find a way to get into the command post, and then close to the lord, or take him away

It's just that his fake identity will be carefully investigated, and if there is a colonel-level officer, the rank that does not need to be checked is much more convenient, but they still can't imitate the complex array of small contemplatives, that kind of thing requires supporting technology and real-time updated information.

He licked his mouth anxiously, but suddenly heard hurried and familiar footsteps, he naturally jumped down the slope, his military boots landed skillfully, with some landing skills called parkour or acrobatics, like a cat, and then to the right corner, where the view was obstructed by sandbags, before he saw anyone, he said exactly. "Major, long time no see, what's the matter?"

His sudden fall scared the young man half to death, the major walked around the corner, he was so frightened that he covered his chest, but his right hand subconsciously attached to the firearm on his belt, at this moment the young man was covered with blood, coagulated liquid promethium and tiredness, it looked like he had fought for three days and three nights, but the war had only begun for half an hour.

The major saw the man clearly, and he cursed. "Sergeant, you're going to scare me to death! Where are your soldiers? Why are you here, how did you bypass the officers' warlords! "He was full of wonders, why was a non-commissioned officer so close to the command post, how did he come here, where were his soldiers, that is, his troops?

The serpent waved his hand to signal his calmness. "Sir, I answered one by one, first of all, my soldiers were left on the battlefield, they were probably dead, and I was recalled by my direct boss at the beginning, and now I am running errands for him, and I have seen the cruelty of the battlefield."

"Sir, I never thought it would be that bad."

Those words stirred up the Major's thoughts, and he had just survived the battlefield and couldn't help but say them in a veteran-like tone. "Yes, Emperor bless, non-commissioned officer, a skilled person like you must be valuable, and it is most important to live, to live." His eyes were firm, as if this matter was some kind of wise saying, after all, it was the first time to face such a large-scale war, and he had managed a low-level gang at most before, and at most five hundred people were considered a chaotic war, which was worthy of being recorded in history.

The serpent nodded. "Yes, sir." But he didn't think so, he had seen too much hell, there was only one person, and there was no shortage of those endless darkness in this world, this era, like ink entering the ocean, dyeing a large area of the sea black, but no one realized that this sea was originally pitch black and without light.

The serpent saw that innocence in the Major, but a man who grew up in a metal castle that humans had forged for himself certainly couldn't understand what he had seen.

He looked at the Major's fading cheeks, the blood not only dried up, but absorbed by it, removing the impurities from his heart, leaving behind the purest, madness and loyalty.

The serpent spoke. "Sir, where are you going?"

The major replied. "I need to bring a vital piece of information to the colonel."

"It's very important, it can change the tide of the battle, I've seen it with my own eyes, it's generally hard to get."

"Forgive my curiosity, sir, what is it?" The wild snake asked, rubbing his chin, a playful expression on his face, and the already thin and handsome melon seed face had a hint of treacherous feeling.

"I trust you, it's okay, but I hope you follow me, with your protection, I will be relieved and much better on the next journey, I am not used to the time without reliable people around." The second lieutenant was still apprehensive about this matter, not to mention that he was still worth a lot of money, it was a walking vault, and he needed good hands to protect him.

The wild snake didn't think long, he lacked this, a ticket to the command room, and nothing else mattered. "Of course, I'm willing to help, and my mission is accomplished." He patted his tactical backpack on the back, it was full, even though most of it was actually all kinds of toys and food, alcohol, and tobacco to pass the time.

The Major smiled. "It's really the emperor's blessing, let's talk as we go, first of all." He walked along the road, which was not difficult to walk, the size of this port, the length and width of which were at most five kilometers, but not very large, and the battlefield of the defensive battle alone used four-fifths of it, and now there were not many places left, but it was not too close for one or two.

On the road, military trucks roared from the entrance to transport resources, and the wild snake noticed that many of them were damaged to a certain extent, obviously the enemy bombardment was still continuing, and the razor-class clipper was still attacking the supply line, obviously the trucks here were all transported from the military base, trying to shorten the route, but even then there were a lot of losses.

The serpent looked at the trucks, and had a rough idea of the situation of the war, the enemy had occupied the void, and now they were struggling, and it was natural that those heretics were making the most of those advantages...

The Major also noticed that the atmosphere was different, and he wiped his clothes, trying not to look so embarrassed, and giving the drivers of the transporters a little comfort, albeit minimally, he greeted them as much as he could, and said optimistically.

"I found out that the enemy uses a lot of stimulants, probably the more traditional ones, like some special alkali or nerve drugs, in large quantities, cheap, pill-shaped."

"Everybody, from private to officer, regularly swallows that stuff to boost their combat effectiveness, to make them fearless, to charge, to shoot, and to never sleep."

The wild snake gave a bad expression. "Then then their attacks will become more and more intense, the battle will be deadlocked, they will start forcing the soldiers to swallow a lot of medicine, soon those people will attack like zombies, and most importantly they will choose a time when our soldiers are tired and the enemy will rely on medicine to charge."

The Major nodded. "You ought to be a colonel, so sensitive, with a special sense of war, like the Emperor's hounds, and if you had enough intelligence, you might be better than the Colonel."

The serpent shook his head, pointing his finger at the Major's chest. "Look, not everyone has this beautiful family crest, sir, I was born cheap, it is impossible to come here, it has nothing to do with fate, it can only be regarded as inevitable."

"Secondly, I can't make this thing better, I can only relieve the burden of the enemy when charging at night by arranging for the soldiers to rest reasonably, those madmen God knows when it will collapse, it may be 5 hours, it will be 5 days, it will be fine if we have professional personnel to analyze the situation of the medicine and enough experiments, but we don't even know what that medicine is."

The Major shook his head. "Who said there wasn't! The Emperor bless me, see what I get? He took out a bloodstained metal box from his pocket, about the size of the palm of his hand, and could see how many sins it had in, and the pills inside were heretics' sins against his own people, and the blood on the outside could be imagined.

The wild snake unveiled the thing, and he who was originally pessimistic saw hope at the moment, a faint hope of victory, and he could use it to create a timetable against the enemy and lay the foundation for this war, and he picked up those pills, the white demon, which only needed a little bit to keep people sleepless, more terrible than caffeine, nicotine, alcohol.

His fingers crushed, and the tremendous force powdered the crudely workmanship, and he lowered his head to sniff as the pill followed his nostrils into his mind, and he immediately realized that this was not something that the Imperial Guard used regularly, but a special plant extract.

He had changed hands, though not much, but it had come to his mind. "Orc wine."

"Wine?" It was impossible for the Major to look at those pills, this thing was so different from the drink, how could it be?

The serpent spoke. "A variant of fungal beer, an orc goodie brewed with poisonous mutant fungi, and then mixed with a lot of normal stimulants, such as tablets composed of caffeine, hallucinogenic and excited, hemostatic and make the user feel a sense of choice, this is a specialty, only here in the Empire, this special asteroid fortress environment in this star sector has a production, similar to the specialty of the infamous Neklomunda, a sun-dried purple plant that can awaken psychic energy."

"To a certain extent, it is the narrow and oppressive environment that makes the will of intelligent beings change what is born in reality from a common perspective, that is, the high density of the nest capital to the terrible density of several people per square meter makes people have a common need in their hearts, and then such a situation is born."

"This plant is similar to that kind of thing, but the specific is different, here, the fortress of humans is in the void, and the population is not dense, but the orcs are different, they only need a small amount of materials to reproduce wildly, so the orc tribe can give birth to such a thing."

The major said incredulously. "You're a scholar? I've never seen anyone know that much with their nose! And, you say that people's will changes something? How is it possible, such a situation is only witchcraft! ”

The serpent replied. "We are all wizards, but you and I are too weak to move stones, to be fearful, to summon flames, so we are ordinary people."

The major swallowed. "It's the most disgusting heresy I've ever heard, but how logical, I'll remember, but I don't want you to bring this up again." He sensed that those words touched on too much he shouldn't know, and he stopped instantly.

The wild snake also stopped there, he looked at the powder in his hand, and said predictively. "Ten hours, it should be the trough of the efficacy of the medicine, the enemy will attack in three hours, into the night, and the early hours of the morning is the time for our counterattack." He replied categorically, although there were no clinical trials, but he knew very well the ability of that kind of orc medicinal wine, with that kind of thing as the main thing, then the effect was very similar, but the point was why they got those things?

Before those thoughts could be answered, however, the Serpent reached its destination, and after the Major passed through the guards and skull detectors with the badge on his chest, he entered as his guard, most of whom saluted the Major until they entered the inner command hall.

It was a large space, and everyone in it was at least an officer at the colonel level or above, and the whole place was in full swing to command everything here, and the arrival of the major made several people's eyes take away from the holographic indicator, and then quickly returned to their original positions, the major shouted. "I have important information to report!" But no one answered, because his position was not enough to communicate directly with the colonel, and his superiors, the lieutenant colonels, had to be vigilant about the battle situation at all times.

Like an invisible wall, the cumbersome officers used their words as an obstacle, and literally separated the whole command post, into two things: the working man and the "idler" like the major, and it was a hot kitchen, where everyone was cooking the feast called Victory with all his own, so that no one cared about him.

The major's face became embarrassed, he had nothing to do about this, neither his status nor his rank was enough, he was now like a corporal, worthless.

But the "real" non-commissioned officer suddenly shouted. "Your lord, your Serpent Wine has arrived!"

Margron paused, he didn't drink, and then he reacted quickly. "Bring it! Bring it as soon as possible, my dear child, and this is exactly what we need now! ”

This sentence almost indicated what the lord was planning, and the wild snake wine was a code, so the noisy officers immediately quieted down, stopped their work, and moved their bodies away without saying a word, and lined up a wide and empty path for the major to reach the peak of power here, leaving only the major's not very surprised, but very curious expression.
