Chapter 3424 Weighing the pros and cons
"Canto, you are Astarte! Don't forget what our mission is? What is our responsibility? If the Empire suffers losses due to our momentary confusion, it is our responsibility! It is the responsibility of the entire Scarlet Fist! Don't let the entire war team bear the blame because of you alone! And I can tell you that if the Spirits launch an attack, it will definitely attract the judges from the alien Inquisition. Do you think those vultures will notice the sudden appearance of food? Don't notice that ship? If they follow along.Canto, don't let the Scarlet Fist become a model Fist!!"
Canto was silent for a moment and said slowly:
"Canto, I'll ask you three questions."
"What?"
"What?"
"What is Ryan's biggest threat now?"
"Green skin."
"Do we remove this threat now?"
"No."
"Can we eliminate most of the green skin on the planet in a short time with reinforcements?"
Cortez hesitated for a moment, but finally shook his head.
"It's very difficult, especially the Green Skin Group in the Desolate Valley. They are under the danger and are not easy to deal with. Even with the support of the Titan Legion, it is difficult to play in that terrain."
"So why should we rush to cause trouble for ourselves?"
"This"
"Don't forget that Snaglod, the arsonist of Charlaton, is not here, and may return at any time. The longer we drag, the higher the risk. If Snaglod really leads the main force to arrive at Ryan and Cortez again, even if we can defend the planet, what are we left? If the situation develops to the worst and the Empire cannot resist Snaglod, what do you think the Empire will make?"
"You mean the order of extinction."
"At least, the Steel Fort would not accept the fall of Ryan and become a springboard for the Greenskin attack to cast the world. It would rather choose to destroy Ryan."
Cortez looked at Canto and finally nodded. "I get it, then okay, do it as you think, but I hope it's for the sake of the big picture, not your personal view of honor."
Cantor did not answer, but walked past him.
"Everyone remember that everything you see here must be strictly confidential. Without my orders, you must not disclose it to anyone!"
"Yes!"
There are less than two hundred warriors left after the hard battle of the Crimson Fist. After a long battle of siege, they regained their confidence in the battle leader. Therefore, although Canto's decision puzzled some people, he still obeyed unconditionally.
"A company left a stationed here and notified the Mechanical Society to send people and equipment as soon as possible. Many relics from the war group may still be buried underground and in the ruins. In addition, there may be green skins nearby, so a basic defense system needs to be established as soon as possible." Canto made a series of deployments at the fastest speed. Almost in the evening, a large number of wing aircraft hang various equipment to reach the fortress ruins deep in the Hell Blade Mountains. Then the Mechanical Society started a temporary generator set and set up a large number of monitoring equipment and automatic turrets, and then began to advance construction and excavation operations in an orderly manner.
At this time, Canto had already taken his men away. He had no time to rest and chose to go straight to the north of the mainland.
There was there that the empire's attack on the last greenskin group of the main continent had already begun. The leader was Modred van Hocic, the senior political commissar of the Star Army. He deployed more than three million star army here and was about to launch an attack on the Desolate Valley. After experiencing a series of failures, the fighting spirit of the Greenskins has not been extinguished. They still have a strong desire to fight and are waiting for their true boss to return.
This time, the offense and defense will change, and the greens must stick to the reinforcements.
But what everyone doesn't know is that there is a secret war on the other continent across the sea, on the continent of Caliona.
Ivan had always loved the sea when he was in the Kingdom of Lirasus. His childhood grew up on the diamond-like beach in his hometown. The harbor of the Hailong clan was snuggling safely on the dazzling coastline. The new birth of the rising sun and the sunny oceans weave his longest memories, and also includes the creaking sound of barefoot stepping on the soft beach, the gentle slap of waves, the breath of salty salt and gravel, and the thunder that exploded when a rare storm was about to sweep the coast.
But this beach belonging to humans is a different way: the rocks are steep and the sea cliffs are extremely sharp, as if they have been carefully carved on a magical blade of a magic weapon. The strong wind whistles around the reefs, and the sound of the raging waves slamming the shore is like the hammers of thousands of blacksmiths.
Even so, Ivan still felt that this was a very magnificent coast.
And it is only four hundred kilometers away from Black Reef City.
After several weeks of carpet-style search, relying on the pursuit and inference of the green skin activity trails near Black Reef City, the Royal Court Expeditionary Force finally found evidence of the gathering of green skins in this dangerous shoal near the sea.
There may have been a hidden naval base here. Its history is quite ancient. The residents who came here, including the Crimson Fist, who came later, did not know its existence. In ancient times, the local natives built warships that could penetrate the water in that hidden base, probably to fight against enemies from another continent, but after the arrival of the empire, the hostility ended, the base was forgotten, and it was not mentioned again.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
However, Green Skin discovered it, and I have to say that this matter is a bit ironic.
So now Yifan is here to personally confirm what the hell is Green Skin doing in this place!
"Are you sure it's here?"
Along the low hills, Yifan and his party quickly swept across the jagged coast like ghosts in the night, and then stopped near a small earthen mountain.
"Yes, prince, it should be here. Green Skin built a bunker, which was hidden very well. I think it should be the entrance to the base below."
Ivan looked at the small Tushan with the help of the shrubs. Its height was about fifty meters, which seemed very ordinary. It was made up of various rocks and soil, and there were even trees, but you could see the clues at a closer look. Its outline was too regular, and four inclined surfaces could be seen, and some other rock cracks were dimly shining.
After retracting his gaze, Yifan turned around and glanced at the soldiers behind him. There were twenty people in total, all of them, all of them, dragon knights under his command and his tribe members. They were wearing spiritual bone armor decorated with jade and animal bones, equipped with pistols, long swords, spears, double swords and other weapons of personal preference, and their helmets were carved into dragon shapes.
No matter when and where, the assistance of his tribesmen always makes him feel at ease and at ease. All the wild people firmly believe in the bond and power of blood.
"Wait."
Let everyone stop moving, Yifan held the spear and stabbed the spear tip into the soil. Then he sat down cross-leggedly, closed his eyes, and penetrated an extremely faint sensation into the out of reach darkness.
