Chapter 252 New Hope (Depersonalization is fun but too short)
After evacuating everyone underground, Duanmuhuai activated the underground fire system and filled the entire underground tunnel with magma. Although this is equivalent to a man-made volcano, there aren't many people on this continent now, right?
As for the prisoners who were rescued, the situation was not very good.
Many prisoners had their brains modified by the orcs. They had their frontal lobes removed and turned into living dead who obeyed orders. For such slaves, Duanmuhuai directly gave them the last glory of humanity. Although some people were not transformed, they were brutally tortured by the beasts, and some even chose to commit suicide after being rescued.
But no matter what, some people still came out and returned to the surface.
Duanmu Huai doesn't care whether these prisoners go or stay. As I said before, the Tribunal does not accept living people. If you want to join the Tribunal, you must have pure faith and die for it. After your death and your soul enters the Annihilation Realm, we will talk about officially joining the Star Realm. military problem.
Duanmu Huai was quite helpless about this, and he had no choice. After all, despite his tall appearance, Duanmu Huai was a pure human being, not a modified Astartes with a weak heart and six lungs. Naturally, There is no gene seed, no gene seed, and no machine gunman. Of course, there is no way to directly cultivate the Astartes Legion through human body modification like in the Empire era, so Duanmu Huai had to use his own method to replenish the supply of soldiers.
Although Duanmuhuai did not intend to take in these refugees, these refugees did not leave. On the contrary, they settled directly in a small town not far from the castle. This is also normal. The reason why homeless people migrate is because Orc attack. But now there is hot magma everywhere under this land. It is impossible for the orcs to dig holes here anymore. In addition, there is such a powerful Iron Warrior stronghold next to it. Only a fool would be stupid enough to embark on that unknown adventure again. .
If they leave here and are ambushed by some orc army, it will really make the sky and the earth useless.
Since these homeless people are willing to stay, Duanmuhuai will certainly not drive them away. Although this planet is sparsely populated, it is not entirely without the possibility of being recruited by the Tribunal. After all, it's okay to leave a branch and add some troops to yourself here.
Of course, these homeless people are not just useless people. In addition to working hard to build their own hometowns, they are also working hard to contact other homeless tribes.
So not long after, many wandering tribes learned about the rumors about the Tribunal through various methods-they came from the starry sky and were the divine envoys who protect mankind. In the face of their anger, even if Even the orcs could only be frightened by the news and run for their lives. Even the lairs of the orcs were reduced to ashes in the flames of hell.
If you want to protect mankind and fight for the future hope of mankind, come to the Tribunal. This is the promised land of mankind's future!
Most of the homeless tribes did not take these rumors seriously and only regarded them as another homeless tribe going crazy. After all, this world is at the end of the world. Now if you tell us that gods have come to save mankind, only ghosts will believe your lies. If there really were gods, what would they have been doing? Why did you come just now?
Although most of the homeless people sneered at this, there were still some homeless people who still maintained their faith and hope in the last days and tried to give it a try and chose to go to the land occupied by the Tribunal.
Likewise, news about the Tribunal naturally reached humanity's last bastion of hope, Jacinto.
"…………Is this true?"
Looking at the report in front of him, a man in a suit had a sullen face, frowned and asked, while the man in military uniform standing in front of him nodded.
"We have interviewed several people who can testify, and there are also recorded images of the battlefield at that time..."
"Hey..."
Hearing the answer from the man in military uniform, the man in suit couldn't help but frowned and sighed. The man in a suit sitting at the desk now is none other than Presco, the chairman of the Security Government Alliance. He was originally the vice chairman of the Security Alliance, but after the incident, the leader suddenly fell ill and died, so the general public Lescaut took over his position and became president of the Security League.
Until now, it has been fourteen years.
To be honest, looking at the intelligence report in front of him, Presco felt very complicated. On the one hand, he felt that he saw hope of defeating the orcs. On the other hand, Presco felt extremely scared—— According to the records in this intelligence, the force known as the "Tribunal" has extremely powerful warriors. Their armor can withstand the attacks of Orc bullets, and the weapons they use can easily penetrate The body of an orc warrior.
In addition, they even have earth-penetrating bombs that can penetrate the core of the earth... Although this is just the tip of the iceberg of this mysterious force, Presco still clearly realizes that this force called the Tribunal, Far more powerful than the security government alliance he leads.
At least it is impossible for the Security Government Alliance to make such a bold tactical idea, let alone easily win the victory over the Orcs.
On the other hand, since the opponent can defeat the Orcs so easily, is there any pressure to deal with the defeated generals of the Orcs like myself?
From a military point of view, Presco is happy to have such a powerful group of reinforcements to help the Security Alliance share the pressure of the Orcs, but from a political point of view, the existence of a force with such powerful force but unclear intentions, It really made him feel uneasy. After all, if the other party wants to cooperate with the Security Alliance, they can come directly to them. However, they had no intention of cooperating with the Security Government Alliance. Instead, they started anew and chose to set up camp far away from the Jasintu Plateau... This in itself can explain the other party's attitude.
"...Colonel Hoffman, what do you think?"
Presco looked at the soldier in front of him and asked in a low voice. The latter thought for a moment.
"I think we should cooperate with them. After all, our light raid does need help. Moreover, if we can get the support of this force called the Tribunal, then we can also use this to further strengthen Jacinto's defense. ”
"That's true."
Hearing this, Presco showed a wry smile. The "Operation Light Raid" that Colonel Hoffman mentioned is the current attack plan against the Orcs designated by the Security Government Alliance. Simply put, it is the same as that of the Inquisition. The approach is similar. The Security Government Alliance needs to send multiple elite teams deep into the ground, then locate the orc stronghold, and then release light bombs to destroy it.
It's just that the Security Government Alliance didn't do this by wandering underground like the Inquisition. The reason why they made such a plan was that they were forced to the point of desperation by the Orcs. Unlike the Inquisition, the Security Government Alliance was almost losing ground in the battle with the Orcs. In order to delay the Orcs' attack, they came up with this plan in a desperate attempt to delay the Orcs' strongholds by destroying them. offensive.
Theoretically speaking, if it can get the support of the Inquisition and the kind of ground-penetrating bomb, then this plan will naturally be more reliable, but.........
"We are not qualified to ask the other side for joint operations."
Presco shook his head helplessly. The cooperation between the two forces is not as simple as shouting slogans for the sake of mankind. The exchange of interests is naturally indispensable. But to be honest, Presco did not think that the Security Government Alliance could offer any benefits that would tempt the Inquisition in exchange for the other party to assist in its plan.
On the contrary, Presco felt that if he sat in the other party's position, he would definitely die without saving anything. After all, as long as the Vigilante Government Alliance was finished, then the Tribunal would be the worthy ruler of the world, and they would have far more powerful people than the Vigilantes. The An government is more powerful against the power of the orcs.
"No matter what, we must succeed this time."
Thinking of this, Presco made up his mind, and then he slammed the table.
"Immediately order to block all news about the Tribunal, and the light quality raid will proceed as planned!"
Only when you have results in hand can you have the confidence to meet with the other party. Otherwise, if you go there now, you will just be begging the other party to help you. By that time, the leadership will no longer be in the hands of the Security Government Alliance. Therefore, even if some soldiers will be sacrificed as a result, it is acceptable in Presco's view.
At least in this way, I will be more confident when negotiating with the Tribunal, and from a relatively equal position, it will be easier for both parties to talk. Once you lose your dominance, you will have to give the other party whatever they want. This loss of dominance is not a pleasant feeling. If the other party continues to push further, the entire security government alliance may fall apart or even collapse completely. !
In any case, the Security Government Alliance cannot just be destroyed by its own hands!
Thinking of this, Presco clenched his fists and then made a decision.
"Just do what I say and ask those soldiers to stop spreading all news about the Tribunal. Also, prohibit the spread of all this in Jacinto. Just say that this is just unconfirmed news from the wandering tribe. ”
Although most of the citizens of Jasintu would not take this seriously, after all, those who can enter Jasinto think that their choice is correct. Only the Security Government Alliance can fight against the Orcs. As for this Tribunal, I have never heard of it...it sounds like rumors. As long as there is a certain degree of intelligence control, no one will discuss it.
"………….obey."
Although he was a little dissatisfied with this decision, Colonel Hoffman still bowed silently, then turned and left. Presco let out a long breath, then turned his head and looked at the city outside the window.
I don’t know whether my decision is right or wrong...
