Warhammer 40,000: Mortal Gods

The teleportation device carried by the merchant ship teleported Creed and his party to the location of the Eighth Regiment.

At this time, Kyle had just organized a thousand-man suicide squad and was about to personally lead the team to rescue Creed. After seeing Creed who was suddenly teleported, he immediately disbanded the suicide squad and let the thousand men return to the defense line to fight.

Creed did not explain to Kyle how he got out of the command vehicle. He immediately wandered around the entire defense line to observe the situation.

There is no distinction between front or rear here, everyone is at the forefront of the battle.

Creed marched behind the makeshift bunker, sometimes shouting to his soldiers, sometimes stopping to raise his binoculars to observe the situation.

A large number of Voskani Iron Cavalry troops are attacking the temporarily established defense line of the Eighth Regiment. The soldiers hide behind bunkers and use various light and heavy weapons to fire at the enemy.

The friendly forces gathered by the Eighth Regiment were also fighting on the defense line. Some of them were artillery and armored troops. These friendly forces had no time to find a suitable combat position and could only find a random position to join the battle.

Creed could only see the situation on his own side of the 8th Regiment, and could not see it any further away. However, the communications and scouts in the regiment were running to Creed to report to them the situation of other regiments. , allowing Creed to roughly sort out the situation of the entire Toyoko Plain.

The entire Toyoko Plain has turned into a battlefield. The Voskani Iron Cavalry slaughtered the troops closer to them. These troops were suddenly attacked during the military parade and had no time to react, resulting in extremely heavy casualties.

The troops closer to the landing position of the Voskani Iron Cavalry will be in more dire straits, while the troops farther away from them will have time to react and defend on the spot.

While the massacre was being carried out, the main force of the Voskani Iron Cavalry was establishing positions one after another in the northern part of the plain, and at the same time, a part of the mobile force was also separated to seize the supply points around Toyoko.

The defense line organized by the 8th Regiment was the furthest away from the Voscani Cataphract, but it had been targeted and was being attacked and bombarded.

The loyalists on the plains of Cadiatoyuco were unable to form a battle line at all. The Voskani cavalry could not only bypass many defending troops and attack the 8th Regiment directly, but they could also send armored troops to circle back.

The information Creed deduced was relatively vague. This was because the information he received was inherently vague and even completely contradictory. All he could do was make a comprehensive judgment. As for the specific situation on the battlefield, he had to wait until the situation stabilized. Come down and think of ways to collect more real battlefield information.

After thinking for a few minutes based on the existing information, Creed came up with a countermeasure.

First of all, we must hold on to this line of defense no matter what and gather more defeated friendly forces. As long as the line of defense can continue to exist and expand, other friendly forces will have the opportunity to retreat and reorganize.

The second step is to try every means to get in touch with the large-scale friendly forces scattered across the plains, reorganize the headquarters and establish a front to resist the attack of the Voskani Iron Cavalry.

The next step is to organize a death squad to find a way to recapture the command vehicle.

Creed broke down all the decisions into orders and told them to Kyle, who then passed them on.

A company's troops were withdrawn from the defense line and boarded personnel carriers or transport aircraft to contact other friendly forces.

Caldred, the political commissar of the Eighth Regiment, gave an inspiring speech, encouraging the Eighth Regiment and other friendly forces on the defense line to use manpower to form death squads.

Klein was observing silently from beginning to end. He wanted to help Creed, but unfortunately the merchant ship was not equipped with a scanning device and could not directly scan out the situation on the Toyoko Plain. The communication device carried by the merchant ship was also in contact with the Astra Militarum. The communication means are incompatible...

The only thing Klein could think of that he could do was to use his merchant ships to help Creed carry out orbital bombing.

But this idea was rejected by Creed as soon as it was proposed, because he did not have the right to let non-Imperial Navy ships bombard the territory of Cadia. He was only the general of the Eighth Regiment, nothing more.

The only thing Creed asked Klein for help was to ask him about the situation on the track.

Klein immediately asked his subordinates, and then conveyed the result of the inquiry to Creed: "The ship that sent the Voscani Iron Cavalry into the galaxy has long since escaped, and there are only defense platforms and my merchant ships in the entire orbit. "

"Yes." Creed nodded to show that he understood, and then turned to talk about other things, "Inform the Lord of Tyrone about the situation on Cadia."

"Is this an application for help?" Klein asked.

"No, it's far from time to ask for help." Creed shook his head slowly.

Hearing this, Klein looked towards the battlefield. He didn't think it was time to ask for help now, but since Creed said so, it would be better to listen to him.

Time passed by minute by minute.

The battle is getting fiercer.

Creed never went to the safest place but still roamed the entire defense line.

Enemy shells were constantly falling at various places on the defense line, and occasionally one or two bombs would explode five hundred meters away from Creed, and the shrapnel could fall directly to Creed's feet.

Klein wanted to persuade Creed to go to his merchant ship to command the battle, but every time he spoke, he was drowned by the sound of cannons.

Creed continued to walk in the smoke, with one hand behind his back and the other holding a cigar. There was no expression on his face, and he turned a blind eye to the surrounding explosions.

Sergeant Jaran Kyle stayed with Creed. He held high the flag of the 8th Regiment to announce General Creed's arrival to the soldiers and even the enemy.

This extremely risky behavior has its pros and cons. Occasionally, some enemies would try to bypass the defense line to assassinate Creed, and some would even try to snipe him. Although these threats were all eliminated by the soldiers of the Eighth Regiment, they were still quite dangerous.

But the good thing is that the general of the Eighth Regiment will boost the morale of the soldiers by visiting the most dangerous places. Even the friendly troops who were forced by Commissar Caldred to join the battle will feel inspired and serve the conquerors as if they were their own generals. Reed plays.

As the battle progressed, some generals who had withdrawn from the northernmost part of the Toyoko Plain rushed to Creed's side immediately after seeing him and asked Creed to give him combat missions.

A moment later, a cannonball exploded three hundred meters away from Creed. The sand kicked up even extinguished the burning cigar in his hand, and a shrapnel scratched a bloody mark on Creed's face.

"You are simply seeking death!" Klein bent over and rushed to Creed, shouting into his ear.

"I'm just a general." Creed looked at Klein with no expression on his face. "If I die, another general will take my place immediately, and my death can also boost morale. This kind of Sacrifice is valuable when our troops are at a great disadvantage.”
