Klein was observing silently from beginning to end. He wanted to help Creed, but unfortunately the merchant ship was not equipped with a scanning device and could not directly scan out the situation on the Toyoko Plain. The communication device carried by the merchant ship was also in contact with the Astra Militarum. The communication means are incompatible...
The only thing Klein could think of that he could do was to use his merchant ships to help Creed carry out orbital bombing.
But this idea was rejected by Creed as soon as it was proposed, because he did not have the right to let non-Imperial Navy ships bombard the territory of Cadia. He was only the general of the Eighth Regiment, nothing more.
The only thing Creed asked Klein for help was to ask him about the situation on the track.
Klein immediately asked his subordinates, and then conveyed the result of the inquiry to Creed: "The ship that sent the Voskani Iron Cavalry into the galaxy has long since escaped, and there are only defense platforms and my merchant ships in the entire orbit. "
"Yes." Creed nodded to show that he understood, and then turned to talk about other things, "Inform the Lord of Tyrone about the situation on Cadia."
"Is this an application for help?" Klein asked.
"No, it's far from time to ask for help." Creed shook his head slowly.
Hearing this, Klein looked towards the battlefield. He didn't think it was time to ask for help now, but since Creed said so, it would be better to listen to him.
Time passed by minute by minute.
The battle is getting fiercer.
Creed never went to the safest place but still roamed the entire defense line.
Enemy shells were constantly falling at various places on the defense line, and occasionally one or two bombs would explode five hundred meters away from Creed, and the shrapnel could fall directly to Creed's feet.
Klein wanted to persuade Creed to go to his merchant ship to command the battle, but every time he spoke, he was drowned by the sound of cannons.
Creed continued to walk in the smoke, with one hand behind his back and the other holding a cigar. There was no expression on his face, and he turned a blind eye to the surrounding explosions.
Sergeant Jaran Kyle stayed with Creed. He held high the flag of the 8th Regiment and announced General Creed's arrival to the soldiers and even the enemy.
This extremely risky behavior has its pros and cons. Occasionally, some enemies would try to bypass the defense line to assassinate Creed, and some would even try to snipe him. Although these threats were all eliminated by the soldiers of the Eighth Regiment, they were still quite dangerous.
But the good thing is that the general of the Eighth Regiment will boost the morale of the soldiers by visiting the most dangerous places. Even the friendly troops who were forced by Commissar Caldred to join the battle will feel inspired and serve the conquerors as if they were their own generals. Reed plays.
As the battle progressed, some generals who had withdrawn from the northernmost part of the Toyoko Plain rushed to Creed's side immediately after seeing him and asked Creed to give him combat missions.
A moment later, a cannonball exploded three hundred meters away from Creed. The sand kicked up even extinguished the burning cigar in his hand, and a shrapnel scratched a bloody mark on Creed's face.
"You are simply seeking death!" Klein bent over and rushed to Creed, shouting into his ear.
"I'm just a general." Creed looked at Klein with no expression on his face. "If I die, another general will take my place immediately, and my death can also boost morale. This kind of Sacrifice is valuable when our troops are at a great disadvantage.”
Chapter 195 A born general
"You are a natural born general."
"A lot of people have said that about me."
Creed and Klein briefly exchanged a few words and then continued busy with the war.
Under Creed's control, the originally chaotic situation gradually became orderly, and the death squad responsible for seizing the command vehicle had already assembled.
Creed did not put forward a detailed plan for forming a death squad when he asked Kyle to convey the order. This is because the Eighth Regiment had a precedent of forming a death squad before, and many times Creed did not need to break his decision into pieces. Broken down into step-by-step orders, his men all knew what to do.
A death squad of 2,000 people was formed. Each member was an elite from different companies, and everyone had their own strengths.
When the Suicide Squad was ready to perform their mission, Creed left the most dangerous frontier for the first time and took Kyle and Klein into a Chimera personnel carrier.
Kyle knew what Creed wanted to do and immediately prepared a pen and paper for him.
Creed held a pen in one hand and pinched a cigar in the other, and asked Klein: "Can you lend me the transmission device on your merchant ship?"
"Do you want to personally command the suicide squad to snatch the command vehicle?" Klein suddenly guessed Creed's thoughts and nodded: "Of course, but there are only two hundred protective devices on the ship, and it is impossible to arm everyone."
"That's enough. Send the protective device down." Creed nodded, then looked at Kyle aside, "Let Talens and the others put on the protective device, and then let the others board the transport plane and enter the command vehicle."
"Yes, sir." Kyle immediately picked up the communicator and roared to convey Creed's order.
Klein also issued an order to the merchant ship to send the teleportation protection device to the Eighth Regiment.
Talens is not a personal name but the name of a team. The name comes from the name of Creed's favorite Goro beast on the family ranch during his childhood.
There are exactly 200 people in Talens team.
After the transport plane flew to the command vehicle with everyone except Talens team, Creed contacted every officer in the death squad and asked them to go to different floors inside the command vehicle.
These officers were in constant contact with Creed. They told Creed everything they saw, and Creed used this information to summarize the situation inside the command vehicle.
"There are still more than 5,000 friendly troops left in the command vehicle. They are protecting the void shield and the command room. It's a smart choice." Creed drew the location of the friendly troops on the paper with a sloppy sketch while holding a cigar in his mouth.
Klein watched and studied silently from the side, and then he was surprised to find that Creed even drew the location of the enemy.
This is not deduced from the communications from the front line of the battle, but Creed is extremely familiar with every detail inside the command vehicle, and he knows which routes the enemy will definitely use to attack the void shield device.
Since Leviathan command vehicles are not mass-produced, and there is no standard design for the internal structure of each command vehicle, the reason Creed is so familiar with command vehicles belonging to two former castle owners must be because he has tried to find a way Explored.
"I have actually been preparing for it a long time ago." Creed suddenly began to explain, "I fought side by side with the Voskani people seven years ago, and they were a little abnormal..."
"Have you known this for a long time? Then why didn't you report it to the castle master?" Klein asked.
"If you tell Lord Tyrone that there are guards who want to assassinate him, what will he think? The same thing." Creed replied without raising his head.
Klein thought about it carefully and felt that he was helpless. It was the wisest thing for Creed to prepare in advance.
Creed continues to direct the operation to recapture the Leviathan command vehicle.
During this period, Kyle will report some troubles on the defensive line, and then Creed will deal with the troubles in the gap of command.
There were even generals from two other regiments who came, and Creed received them while taking command.
The Talens team made many teleportations. They would pass back and forth in the open areas on each level of the Leviathan command vehicle. The battle after each teleportation would achieve a result, either assassinating the enemy's officers or blowing up the enemy. A transport aircraft used to land the command vehicle, or to cooperate with friendly forces to attack the enemy from a pincer attack.
After giving the last transmission order, Creed put the pen on the paper and asked Kyle to do other things.
The battle in the command vehicle is still going on, but it has reached the final stage. Creed does not need to issue any more orders and just needs to wait for the news that the command vehicle has been recaptured.
"The Golden Throne." Creed suddenly sighed, and a smile appeared on his face that had never wavered. "The commander of your Tyrone Army is really comfortable. I have always dreamed of having an assault rifle that could reach the battle site instantly. Team."
"Isn't it enough to join the Tyrone Army? You can become a marshal." Klein joked.
Although this was just a joke, Creed thought seriously and gave a very serious answer: "Every Cadian is given a sacred duty by the God-Emperor at birth, which is to serve the entire Cadian Gate. I fought in the defense zone until the last moment of my life, so I can’t go to your place.”
"Can you not be so serious?" Klein was a little helpless. He just wanted to liven up the atmosphere, rather than discuss grand topics like responsibility with Creed.
"The command vehicle has been captured!" Kyle walked into the personnel carrier and reported in a loud voice.
Creed was not surprised at all by the news. He just nodded and said to Kyle in a calm tone: "I will not get on the command vehicle for the time being unless more than two digits of generals can get in touch with me and enter the command together. Let’s discuss strategy in the car and send the wounded up first.”
Kyle was about to ask Creed if he wanted to go to the command car.
"Is there anything else?" Creed asked.
"General Sein came over on a transport plane, and he was accompanied by twenty other generals." Kyle reported another incident.
It was a good thing that a total of twenty-one generals had arrived, because it meant that the Eighth Regiment had established contact with the twenty-one regiments, and everyone could work together to deal with the Voskani Iron Cavalry.
Sein, who leads the 97th Regiment of the Cadian Assault Army, is no different from the other twenty generals, but there is a reason why Kyle singled him out to report.
"Sein..." Creed frowned.
This colleague named Sein left many bad impressions on Creed. This person can be regarded as the representative of all those who are dissatisfied with Creed. Creed even heard a rumor that Sein As a result, a group of officers was formed, called the "Cadian Gate Anti-Creed Alliance".
Creed didn't think this ridiculous rumor was true, but he knew that it was a fact that many of his colleagues, led by Esein, were very dissatisfied with his promotion speed and were trying to make trouble in various ways.
"Do you need to tell Sein to get out?" Kyle asked, clenching his fists.
"This is war time." Creed stood up and walked out of the troop carrier. "As long as Sein is as hostile to the Voskani as he is to me."
Chapter 196 Traitors must die
In the open space outside the Chimera personnel carrier, a transport plane had just stopped. After the hatch was opened, all the passengers inside stepped out.
There were twenty-one generals in total, and they all had deputies like Kyle. These deputies also held the flags of their respective regiments. They soon saw Creed, Kyle, and a businessman coming over.
When these people saw Creed, some were relieved, some were happy, and some had a very awkward attitude.
Creed saluted each of his colleagues and asked them about the status of their respective units and whether they needed help.
When someone said that his side could not even guarantee air superiority, Creed would ask the company in the 8th Regiment that was good at air defense to rush over to provide support.
Everyone can get solutions or help from Creed, and Sein is the last person to talk to Creed.
"What's going on there?" Creed asked Sein.
A trace of displeasure flashed across Sein's face. He felt as if Creed was not his colleague but his superior.
However, Sein is not a fool. He happens to need help: "My people are holding on to the westernmost side of the plain, and a Titan army is coming towards the plain. They were originally going to Harlan Fort, but suddenly They came in a hurry after learning about the situation on the plains of Toyoko, but there was no infantry that could cooperate with them in the battle, so someone had to go and greet them."
Creed thought for a moment after hearing this.
The greeting Sein was talking about was not a group of people running to the Titans waving flags with warm welcome, but breaking out of the siege of the Voskani people and rushing to the Titan Legion to explain the situation to them and cooperate with them in fighting.
Giant war machines like Titans are not only defeated by enemies of the same size. Infantry can also kill them with a small probability. The Voskani Iron Cavalry, known for its toughness, is a threat to Titans, and they also have Titans.
"I will plan an operation to cover your 97th regiment's escape from the encirclement." Creed said.
Sein was originally worried that Creed would not agree, or that Creed wanted his friends to greet the Titan Legion and obtain corresponding credit... but Creed agreed anyway.
"The air defense troops of the 97th Regiment will stay to help you fight." Sein said.
"That's great." Creed smiled and patted Sein on the shoulder.
At this time, Sein no longer resisted Creed. He understood that it was war time, and when the war situation was in chaos, he had to have a capable person in charge of the overall situation.
Although he didn't want to admit it, Sein knew in his heart that his abilities were incomparable to Creed's, and he had better not dismantle this short-necked bastard before the war was over.
"What's the situation with our command vehicle?" Someone stood up and asked Creed, "The Voskani's command vehicle is killing everyone 1,400 kilometers away."
"The command vehicle almost fell, but it has been recaptured now. You can get on at any time." Creed responded.
The generals all breathed a sigh of relief and immediately lined up to board the plane and prepare to fly to the command vehicle.
Creed did not refuse to board the command vehicle this time because he also had to discuss strategies with these generals.
……
Creed spent the next four days in the command vehicle discussing strategy with his colleagues.
Everyone had not rested since they gathered together four days ago. Creed smoked cigars one after another, filling the entire command room with smoke. In the eyes of others, it seemed that he could never finish smoking his cigars. Just reach around your waist and touch it to take out another cigar.
During the past four days, the troops who survived the sudden attack by the Voskani Iron Cavalry successively contacted Creed, and more generals arrived in the command vehicle on transport planes from various locations on the plain.
Until now, four days later, hundreds of people have gathered in the command room, and the situation on the Toyoko Plain has gradually stabilized. At least the loyalists can organize a front to resist the traitors' attack.
