Warhammer: I live under the watchful eyes of the gods

Chapter 126 Codwina's Promise

Silently listening to the company commander on the stage explaining the battle plan, Karl's frown became deeper and deeper.

This is not a fight, but pure death.

Those war machines that were dropped by air will all bring their drivers to hell to report.

Because that layer of green mist, which seemed as thin as a cicada's wings, covered the huge swamps on the surface of Devon's satellite.

And these swamps are still continuously erupting a large amount of "poisonous mist".

The Astartes with a strong physique are not completely immune to the erosion of these poisonous mist, and it is even more impossible for these real mortals in front of Karl.

But what if you know this?
For now, Carl can't find a reasonable way to remind this unlucky guy without revealing himself.

Fortunately, according to the prompt on the screen, there is still a little more than one day before the login starts.

There are many other things that Carl can do.

However, at the moment when he was stunned, he didn't know whether he had noticed Carl's distraction, or he just wanted to mess with this "new recruit who was just late".

The 7th company commander on the stage suddenly pointed to Karl who was sitting in the corner with blank eyes.

"You, get up and repeat what I just said."

At this moment, since the company commander took the lead, everyone could look at Karl according to the rules.

Sensing the "schadenfreude" gazes around him, someone recovered from the initial surprise.

Here comes the fun.

You can memorize the mechanical scriptures backwards, and you actually suspect that I am absconding in class?

"When attacking, pay attention to coordinating with the nearby War Dog Titans, and adopt a 3-20-1-10 formation to cross cover and advance."

"Ok?"

Now the pressure came to the 7th company commander.

It seemed that Carl was extremely incomprehensible to "recite the plan backwards" in this fugue state, and the commander of the 7th company asked unbelievingly: "Then let's say the first sentence?"

"In the face of complex forest terrain, first use the B-252 incendiary bomb to clear it and then cooperate with the War Dog Titan to advance."

(???)

"Then the first sentence?"

"After landing, deploy the ammunition supply vehicle first, and cooperate with friendly forces to quickly supply ammunition to the Sons of Horus."

(…………)
Finally, even the 7th company commander had to admit that he hit the iron plate this time.

In any case, at least the military regulations only state that you must keep your eyes open when listening to the battle plan briefing.

As for where to look, there is no requirement.

So in every sense, Karl is "innocent".

As long as the 7th company commander can't find evidence that he didn't listen to the lecture, then he has nothing to do with Karl.

Sighing silently, he said: It seems a bit difficult for you to do this favor, Codwina.

Helpless, he could only let Karl sit back in his original position for the time being.

The content of the following meeting was an eye-opener for Karl.

What is a surprise battle in the "Interstellar Age".

Compared with these freshly learned theories, Carl's previous ones can only be regarded as "village fighting".

But this is something that can't be helped, after all, there is no strategic maneuvering space in the hive itself.

The only tactic that can be carried out within the hive is steady progress.

Pile up enough thick armor, carry the firepower of absolute crushing level, and then rush all the way.

This can be seen from the design concept of the MK.3 type, this special power armor for space fighters that is specialized for jumping gangs and street fighting.

But just as the MK.3 type is not as good as the MK.4 type (extreme type) power armor introduced later in most cases.

Mobility, armor, and firepower are important parameters that complement each other and are inseparable on most battlefields.

But good times are always short-lived.

When Karl was still indulging in the tactic that could be called a work of art, the morning meeting also ended here.

The surrounding soldiers dispersed bustlingly.

They will get a rare day off, during which they will self-adjust to the peak state.

But this kind of holiday obviously has nothing to do with Karl.

But while he was waiting for Kedwina, a note was suddenly stuffed into his hand.

=If you are willing to join the association, see you at table F-3 in the restaurant=
Just one sentence sent a chill down Carl's back.

"Association, warrior association."

He knew exactly what it was, but had it already started in the Sun Auxiliary Army?
This is an extremely dangerous signal, which indicates that something may happen earlier than he remembers.

(Hopefully this is just a special case.)
Just as Karl was meditating, Koldwina walked up to Karl.

"As a punishment, you are in charge of following technical priest Sené these few days to repair those big guys."

After speaking, Kedwina took Karl involuntarily and walked towards the deck area inside the battleship.

Codwina knew very well that this was the most severe punishment in the Sun Auxiliary Army.

There's no harsher punishment than having a glory-hungry warrior stay behind and help the Oiler carry bricks.

But he also knew that this new recruit urgently needed such a polishing.

But what he never expected was.

After hearing this "punishment", Karl seemed to be fine.

"Then if I repair those machines in advance, can I return to the team and join the battle?"

Hearing Karl's question, Rao Kordwina almost couldn't help laughing.

He was puzzled that a collateral descendant of the Picanus family could be so blind.

For this kind of super Terra court aristocrat, it must be common sense how complicated the Mechanic Cult's stuff is.

In this way, is the "gilded nobleman" following him at this moment a bit too watery?

However, Kordwina did not have time to teach Karl, because this time the 7th Assault Company was undertaking the combat mission to cooperate with the Astartes, so Kordwina still had a lot of things to prepare.

As for small matters such as doing ideological work for Karl, we will wait until the battle is over.

In the eyes of Kordwina at this moment, the group of "traitors" under his feet will soon be completely torn apart under the saturation attack.

So he faced Carl's "retarded question" and said directly perfunctory: "Of course, as long as you fix those things."

Hearing this, Karl did not continue to dwell on this issue.

In fact, being able to see a technical priest is a life-saving for Karl at this moment.

He desperately needs strength.

Therefore, for him, the Mechanicus, which only recognizes knowledge, is the best breakthrough.

In a sense, Koldwina handed him a pillow for him who was dozing off.

There was no words all the way, only the dull thump of military boots hitting the metal floor.

Ten minutes later, under the guidance of Codwina, Karl came to a deck.

This is a very busy berth deck.

A large number of Thunderhawks are currently loading and unloading a large amount of support materials.

These supplies will be used tomorrow for the Warmaster's full-scale assault.

The farthest part of the deck is a thin layer of blue particle barrier, which can isolate the deck area from the dead space outside the ship.

After pulling his eyes back from a distance and looking around, in a corner of the deck area, Karl saw several loading and unloading machines that seemed to be temporarily paralyzed due to excessive use.

Beside these loading and unloading machines, a technical priest wearing a red robe and holding a mechanical battle is frantically trying to repair the loading and unloading machines in front of him.
