Chapter 1672: Victory and return
The operation to clear out the OU-2941 resource belt went very smoothly. Although the green skins resisted fiercely, they only lasted less than half an hour under such a fierce offensive. Was completely defeated.
The Black Templars were awarded the honor of attacking the enemy's core position this time. Although the location of the green-skinned boss cannot be determined, generally speaking, these beasts like to place themselves in conspicuous positions, and this mining station The most conspicuous thing is undoubtedly the master control tower.
However, during the airdrop battle, due to various reasons, only three combat companies of the Black Templars finally rushed into the main control tower. However, they still completed the task and wiped out the stubborn green skins inside. Empty.
Just when they found the leader of this group of green-skinned pirates and fought fiercely with him, the other party actually used a secret teleportation device to teleport directly to the tower, and then ran all the way.
The Black Templar warriors naturally couldn't let the duck they got fly. Killing the enemy chief was both an honor and a responsibility, so they pursued them desperately.
By coincidence, the green-skinned leader actually escaped to the area in charge of the Second Company of the Astral Knights. Just when he was about to jump into a minecart and escape underground, the sword brother of the Black Templar, Ai Kurt Sullivan chased him to a distance of 100 meters and fired a fatal bullet.
Just when the bomb hit the green leader in the middle of the buttocks and exploded, a sword flew over and plunged directly into the green leader's head.
The one who threw the sword was Robin who heard the noise and rushed to see the situation. Because he and Sullivan were separated by a wall at the time, he did not notice that someone was chasing the green skin. The sound of the bolt gun happened to be masked by the explosions of the surrounding facilities. He didn't know the identity of this greenskin, so he just thought it was a fish that slipped through the net, so he threw the sword in a joking manner and hit it accurately. .
An accident created a problem.
Who counts this kill?
In fact, the two of them couldn't tell whether the sword was inserted into the green skin's forehead first, or whether the explosive bomb penetrated the green skin's butt first, because the smoke on the battlefield was not good, and the noise was different. interference.
But this matter has to be resolved, because killing the enemy chief is undoubtedly a huge achievement, and this is the first battle of the expeditionary force, and the public opinion propaganda will definitely write it down. At the end of the future war, Soshyan will also award medals to those who have made meritorious service, so it is still very important to judge the kill in the bigger picture.
So when Jacob and others arrived at the scene of the incident, many soldiers had gathered from all the regiments participating in the battle, and the killed greenskin leader was lying in the mine cart. He tilted his head back with a sword stuck on his forehead, keeping his mouth open and eyes closed.
“The Chapter Leader is here too.”
After scanning the crowd, Jacob saw Soshyan fifty meters away from the green-skinned body. Surrounded by him were the leaders of several battle groups, who were checking the helmet image records of the two warriors.
A few minutes later, Soshyan shook his head.
“It’s impossible to judge.”
It’s impossible to tell who killed the enemy first from the perspective of the two warriors, and there is no third party around. If we use the idea of harmony, That's half and half.
But
He looked at Helbrecht, who also frowned slightly, seeming to be thinking about something.
If you consider the overall situation, this kill makes Black Templar more reasonable. After all, Black Templar has put in so much effort to kill the enemy, and Robin looks like he missed it.
So he walked to the other party and whispered:
"Brother Herbrecht, how about you blame Sullivan?"
But He Albrecht shook his head, then summoned Sullivan and asked:
"Why did the greenskin leader escape?"
"Report, it hides a small teleportation device, which we were not aware of before."
"In other words, it is Your mistake?" Sullivan paused, then replied:
"Yes!"
"So it was your mistake that caused the greenskin leader to escape. If another accident happened, it might have escaped successfully, right?"
Sullivan was speechless.
“If the greenskin leader is allowed to escape, then half of this battle will be considered a failure. I made this very clear before. Then all you do afterwards is just to make up for the consequences of previous mistakes. This cannot be called Do you accept this as a credit?"
Looking at the serious Helbrecht, Sullivan nodded silently.
“Your shot may not really kill the greenskin leader. Their vitality is always surprisingly tenacious. That bullet cannot even cause fatal injuries. Brother Robin’s sword really makes up for it for you. An error occurred, so."
Helbrecht turned and looked at Soshyan.
“Brother Robin deserves this achievement.”
“This”
Soshiyan glanced at Sullivan, and then said:
“ Let’s consider it a joint kill.”
Just as Helbrecht was about to speak, Soshyan stretched out his hand and interrupted him.
"Let's just decide. Robin didn't do anything. It's not a good thing for a young warrior like him to be too pushy. The subsequent public battle reports will be calculated based on joint kills."
Then. Soshyan called Robin and told him his decision. Robin had no doubts about this. He actually felt that he had gotten a bargain. He really didn't know that this was the green-skinned leader at the time.
Even if Soshyan awarded this credit to the other party, he didn't think it was anything. For a proud person like him, he didn't bother to strive for such unexpected merit.
With the end of this episode, only the final clean-up work is left in the battle in this area. First, the huge number of green skin corpses must be burned, and then the remaining green skins that may exist must be burned. After clearing out and confirming that no large group of greenskins remain, the rest of the work can be left to mortal soldiers and Mechanicum staff.
The entire battle lasted less than three days. When the fleet returned and announced that it had cleared out the green-skinned pirates in the OU-2941 resource belt, not only the Sagan Galaxy, but also the public opinion of the Grief Galaxy was shaken because of this group of green-skinned pirates. It has troubled them for too long, many merchant fleets have been robbed by it, and the senior officials of the Sagan system were even more shocked, because Soshyan announced that he would go to the edge of the system for a combat readiness inspection just a week ago, but only a few days later, he told They actually went to exterminate the green-skinned pirates and completed the task. Everyone had a new understanding of the power of the expeditionary force.
Under the great publicity of the imperial agency (claiming that the expeditionary force had wiped out tens of billions of greenskins), some previous public opinions about the expeditionary force's delay were suppressed, and people began to regain their confidence in the empire. After all, a stubborn disease that has plagued two galaxies for decades was solved in a few days, so it seems that the Red Pirates are not insurmountable. After all, the true number of Red Pirates has always been a mystery, and most people who don't know just see it as a group. Just a larger heretical group.
Now that the empire’s heavenly soldiers have demonstrated their thunderous power, how long can the red pirates struggle?
On the second day after Soshyan returned to the Sagan system, Sagan II's operation to kill gene stealers also took a major turn. The local ruling family was accused by the Ministry of Justice of committing serious heresy crimes and smuggling. The crimes were subsequently tried en masse, thousands were executed, tens of thousands awaited sentencing, and hundreds of thousands were arrested.
When the report was submitted to Soshyan, he saw an even more shocking situation and an unexpected person——
