Hammer 40k: Far East Storm

Although Li's decision was a bit too arbitrary, he only used the information he obtained and some parts he learned to deduce the general situation of the entire battlefield, and then made the choice that was most beneficial to him. To Elizabeth, this behavior seemed extremely unreliable, because the process looked a bit like a blind man touching an elephant. The blind man made an overall guess and evaluation of the elephant based only on the part of reality he touched. , the results of such evaluations and inferences are often extremely ridiculous.

But in fact, this is the real battlefield. When setting foot on the battlefield, frontline commanders cannot have a comprehensive understanding of everything. Most of the time, they only understand part of it, or even a small part. I understand, because the higher-ups above have many requirements for some frontline commanders, but they rarely have "learn to think about the overall situation" because this is the job of the theater commander and staff.

For frontline commanders, most of the orders they receive are "Hold here!" "Get that high ground for me!" "Get to this location within XX time!" "Go behind the enemy and destroy everything!" Simple orders, thinking about the overall situation are not among their compulsory courses. Moreover, the people above will not share all the information with a grassroots commander, even the Ling clan people. Li contacted and was able to The intelligence obtained was extremely limited, and he did not even have permission to question his superiors. All he had to do was execute orders.

Fortunately, even from simple orders, Li can see a lot of information. For example, the message Li now received after sending a signal for help as the master of Oak Pavilion was "Hold on, reinforcements are far away, or you can evacuate, you can go on your own." decision."

What was exposed in such a brief order was the indifference with which Li's stronghold was treated. It was obvious that the war commanders did not care whether the stronghold of Oak Pavilion could be held, nor did they care what they could do, regardless of victory. Or fail, the Oak Pavilion area is not within the plans of those big shots, and it will be difficult to have an impact on the overall situation.

This shows that the Eldar army is not hiding in the Oak Pavilion area. So as long as they pretend to be powerful, the demons will not choose the Oak Pavilion area as a breakthrough point for their attack in the early stages of the invasion. As for what happens after that, We can only wait until later, at least until the situation changes further, any judgment made is meaningless.

So after making the decision, Li began to prepare how to achieve his goal.

"You mean to use our existing troops to capture the enemy's stronghold without reinforcements?" After hearing Li's judgment, William's face became even heavier. Most of Li and Elizabeth these days He stayed on top of the tower all the time. Although Li's judgments and orders were still quick and accurate, as a leader of a region, he had to do more than just give out messages and orders. They also need to maintain the morale of the soldiers, supervise the work of the Bonesingers, and coordinate and arrange all kinds of debris in the area. In fact, the messy debris is the real troublesome thing in the camp that makes people tired and troublesome. In short, we must ensure that every warrior is happy physically and mentally and in good condition! Li's approach was simple. He simply threw away his hand and handed everything over to William.

This also caused William to have a gloomy look on his face and a desperate look for the past few days, as if the evil god Slaanesh was living in his home.

As a result, after hearing Li's words, William's face became even more gloomy, and the despair that enveloped him became thicker.

"Why are you acting like this? You seem desperate?"

"Because in my imagination, you have done all the things that the leader can do that make me happy, and those tiring things that I can't imagine, I do every day. I will bear hardships, and you will enjoy them." , This universe is so unfair." Although he was complaining, William's look was extremely detached when he said these words. His eyes were looking into the void ahead without focus, and his voice It also became empty, with a detached look that seemed to be transcending the world and drifting away. "Such an unfair universe has made me very desperate and tired. I feel like I am being rotated by a hundred tyrannosaurs." After the rape, my body and soul have been greatly traumatized. Now I just want to wait for this to be over and go back to the forest to hunt. "

Li did not speak, letting the Eldar man in front of him fall into the beautiful memories. After a while, William pulled himself out of the beautiful memories of the forest and continued to complain: "I have never been so tired, I have to worry Everyone's condition, I have to worry about whether they sleep well, whether the food is delicious, whether they are accustomed to the environment, whether they have fears in their hearts, in short, I feel like a child tutor in the childhood garden, almost everything I have to worry about it, but those bastards are still bothering me. And you? You originally said that you were not interested in the position of leader, but now you are bossing everyone around every day. It’s so majestic.”

"I'm not dictating, I'm just issuing orders." Li couldn't stand the resentful look in William's eyes, and resisted the urge to kill the Spirit Tribe man in front of him, and explained: "Besides, the demon was attacking at that time. Before we had time to discuss the issue of power transfer, problems had already arisen, and I had no way to give in under such circumstances.”

"Yes, you can't give in, and you can't give in at that time. If you still give in under that situation and give me the position of master of Oak Pavilion, in that case I will really despise you and hate you. , because that can only prove that you are a selfish person, and you put your own statement and credibility above the safety of the collective." William sighed and continued: "But you didn't do that, you took the responsibility. You have done your job well, at least so far, I have not found any mistakes on your part.”

"Then why are you desperate?"

"It is precisely because of this that I am even more desperate. Besides, you just said something that made me even more desperate. Are you going to lead us to attack the invading enemy?" William shook his head and said, "You should know clearly that the other party is Who are they, the number of people on the other side, and the fighting power of the other side?”

"I know clearly."

"Then why are you doing this? You are seeking death! You want to take us to death together." William said sadly: "The other party is a warrior of Khorne! Although I know this is against the rules, I still want to Let me ask, is there a reason why you are leading us to death in such a hurry?"

For some commanders, they will be used to explaining to their soldiers before the battle why they are going to the battlefield, so that the soldiers know the role and value they play on the battlefield. That is, the commander will use sufficient The reason tells the soldiers that you are about to embark on a battlefield full of dangers and crises, and you may have to sacrifice there, but your sacrifice is meaningful! What's the point? Balababal, the commander will talk a lot, and in the end the speech will be successful and morale will soar.

But this is not popular among the Eldar people. Of course, their commanders will also say, warriors, your sacrifice is meaningful! But what’s the point? Why what? But they won't explain it, because most of the time they can't explain it. The prophet always makes people do some strange things, even completely unreasonable things, and the effect of these things is often not even the prophet himself. It is very clear that it often takes ten years or hundreds of years to prove that things are correct.

That's why William said it was against the rules, but he still had to ask because he was really unwilling to do so.

You actually want to take us on a counterattack against an enemy that is obviously very difficult to resist even if we stick to our guns. There should be an explanation for such an extremely risky thing, right?

Li hesitated for a while. He was thinking of an excuse. How should he say it?

Talk about a counterattack and destroy those scary-looking group of Khornes. Will we be safer in the future?

Or I won't be sad even if you all die. As long as we can destroy that group of Khorne warriors, which will reduce the chance of the demon army suddenly arriving here, I will be safe.

Of course, these cannot be said, there must be a good reason. Of course, Li is a veteran on the battlefield, so it is not difficult for him to think of a suitable reason.

After just a moment of hesitation, Li said: "William, I shouldn't have said more. The authority of the commander cannot be offended. As long as it is a decision I make, you are obliged to implement it. If not, the existence of the army will be compromised." It has lost its meaning. You must also know this, but I will still explain it to you. The other party is a demon. You also know this. So when the demons arrive at a place, they are not busy looting, killing, or doing anything else. What they really like to do is to build camps and build fortifications, so what do you think this group of abnormal demons want to do? "

"Hold on and wait for help?"

"Yes, the devil's advance team has to stand firm and wait for reinforcements. This is a landing. The advance team that has just landed will create good conditions for the subsequent landing of the army, and we cannot let them get what they want. So we must wait for them This is the only chance to completely eliminate them before we gain a foothold. Once we lose this opportunity, our situation will become even more passive."

William suddenly realized that he agreed with Li's statement, "You are right, the demon's behavior is indeed unreasonable. We must kill them completely before they gain a foothold, otherwise we will be even more passive when their follow-up troops arrive. ! So, what should I do?”
