Warhammer 40: Gods Of Mortals

Chapter 194 Sacrifice
The teleportation device carried by the merchant ship teleported Creed and his party to the location of the Eighth Regiment.

At this time, Kyle had just organized the Death Squad of Thousands and prepared to lead the team to rescue Creed himself. After seeing Creed suddenly teleported out, he immediately disbanded the Death Squad and let the thousand people return to the defense line to fight.

Creed didn't explain to Kyle how he got out of the command vehicle, and he immediately walked around the entire defense line to observe the situation.

There is no front or rear distinction here, each is at the forefront of the engagement.

Creed marched behind the makeshift bunker, sometimes shouting to his soldiers, and sometimes stopped and raised his binoculars to observe the situation.

A large number of Voscany iron cavalry units are attacking the temporary defense line established by the Eighth Regiment. The soldiers hide behind the bunkers and use various light and heavy weapons to open fire on the enemy.

The friendly troops gathered by the Eighth Regiment were also fighting on the defense line. Some of them were artillery and some were armored soldiers. These friendly troops had no time to find a suitable combat position, so they could only find a position to participate in the battle.

Creed can only see the situation on the side of the [-]th regiment where he is, and he can't see it any further. However, the signal soldiers and scouts in the regiment are constantly running to Creed to report to them the situation of other regiments. , allowing Creed to roughly sort out the situation of the entire Toyoko Plain.

The entire Toyoko Plain has become a battlefield. The Voskani cavalry slaughtered the troops that were closer to them. These troops had no time to respond to the sudden attack during the military parade, and the casualties were extremely heavy.

The closer the army was to the landing position of the Voscany cavalry, the worse it was, while the army farther away from them had time to react and defend on the spot.

While the massacre was taking place, the main force of the Voscany Cavalry was establishing positions one after another in the northern plains, and at the same time part of the mobile force was allocated to snatch the supply points around Toyoko.

The defense line organized by the Eighth Regiment was the farthest from the Voscany cavalry, but it was already being targeted and was being attacked and bombarded.

The loyalists on the Kadiatoyoko Plain could not form a battle line at all. The Voscany cavalry could not only bypass many defending troops and directly attack the Eighth Regiment, but also send armored troops to detour.

The information that Creed deduced is relatively vague. This is because the information he received is inherently vague, and there are even completely contradictory information. All he can do is to make a comprehensive judgment. As for the specific situation on the battlefield, he has to wait for the situation to stabilize Come down and find a way to collect more and more real battlefield information.

After thinking for a few minutes based on the existing information, Creed came up with a countermeasure.

First of all, no matter what, we must stick to this line of defense and gather more defeated allies. As long as the line of defense can continue to exist and expand, then other allies will have a chance to retreat and regroup.

The second is to do everything possible to get in touch with the large-scale friendly forces scattered throughout the plain, reorganize the headquarters and establish a front to resist the attack of the Voscany cavalry.

Then there is to organize a death squad to find a way to recapture the command vehicle.

Creed detailed all the decisions into orders to Kyle, and then Kyle communicated these orders.

The troops of a company were drawn from the defensive line and went to contact other friendly forces in personnel carriers or transport planes.

The political commissar of the Eighth Regiment, Caldred, gave an inspiring speech, encouraging the Eighth Regiment and other friendly forces on the defense line to form a death squad.

From the beginning to the end, Klein observed silently. He wanted to help Creed, but he had no choice but to scan out the situation on the Toyoko Plain without the scanning device on the merchant ship. The means of communication are incompatible...

The only thing Klein thought he could do was to use his merchant ship to help Creed carry out orbital bombing.

But this idea was rejected by Creed as soon as it was put forward, because he has no right to let non-Imperial Navy ships bomb the territory of Cadia, he is just the general of the Eighth Regiment, that's all.

The only thing Creed asked Klein for help was to ask about the situation in his orbit.

Klein immediately asked his subordinates, and then conveyed the result to Creed: "The ship that sent the Voskani Iron Cavalry into the galaxy has long since left, and there are only defense platforms and my merchant ship in the entire orbit. "

"Yeah." Creed nodded to show that he understood, and then talked about other things, "Tell Lord Tyrone about the situation on Cadia."

"Is this a request for help?" Klein asked.

"No, it's far from the time to ask for help." Creed shook his head slowly.

Hearing that Klein looked towards the battlefield, he didn't think it was the time to ask for help, but since Creed said so, it's 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 wandered the entire defense line.

The enemy's artillery shells are constantly falling on various places on the defense line. Occasionally, one or two bombs will explode 500 meters away from Creed, and the shrapnel can directly collapse to Creed's feet.

Klein wanted to persuade Creed to command the battle on his merchant ship, but every time he spoke, he would be drowned out by the sound of gunfire.

Creed continued to walk in the smoke, with one hand behind his back and the other pinching a cigar, with no expression on his face, turning a blind eye to the explosions around him.

Staff Sergeant Jalan Kell was inseparable from Creed. He held up the flag of the Eighth Regiment to announce the arrival of General Creed to the soldiers and even the enemy.

There are advantages and disadvantages to this extremely risky behavior.Occasionally, some enemies would try to bypass the defense line and assassinate Creed, and some would even try to snipe him. Although these threats were all ruled out by the soldiers of the Eighth Regiment, they were still quite dangerous.

But the advantage is that the general of the Eighth Regiment will boost the morale of the soldiers when the general of the Eighth Regiment is in the most dangerous place. Even those friendly troops who are forced to join the battle by Commissar Caldred will also feel inspired, and will serve for the conquerors as if they were their own generals. Reed played.

As the battle progressed, some generals who had withdrawn from the northernmost part of the Toyoko Plain rushed to Creed immediately after seeing him, and asked Creed to give him a combat mission.

A moment later, a shell exploded at a distance of 300 meters from Creed, and the sand that was thrown up even extinguished the burning cigar in his hand, and a shrapnel drew a bloodstain on Creed's face.

"You are looking for death!" Klein bent over and rushed to Creed, yelling into his ear.

"I'm just a general." Creed looked at Klein without any expression on his face, "If I die, another general will take my place immediately, and my death can also boost morale. Sacrifice is valuable when our military is at a serious disadvantage."
