Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!

Chapter 340 05.0339: ‘New Skill: War Sandbox’

As soon as these words came out, all the astral military officers beside the command sand table fell silent, surprised, curious, vigilant,

Displeased, everyone looked at the young man wearing a distinctive blue military uniform among a group of Astra Militarum officers with various expressions.

Sir Wellesley held his chin and looked at him with narrowed eyes, as if he was meeting him for the first time.

[Where does he get his confidence? It is interesting that the Navy people are interested in the Astra Militarum. ]

Jazz thought this young man was very interesting, and then thought that he had actually laid a landing point on the ground.

It shows that his command ability should be fine.

As the beginning of a battle, the battle at the landing point is often the most chaotic part. A general who can command this part well must have rich experience and outstanding abilities.

The other lieutenant colonels were unable to speak and remained silent, so they looked at the brigadier general.

For the Astra Militarum, an advisor is an advisor and an advisor is an advisor.

The powers of the two are completely different.

Advisors usually only have the power to advise, but not to participate in command.

What's more, according to the provisions of the code, the Navy and the Astra Militarum are two forces that check and balance each other under the system design. The sea tanker officer in front of him obviously wanted to make an outrageous statement.

So much so that the military supervisory committee member of the regiment on the side frowned subconsciously.

The staff power can be regarded as directly commanding the troops.

As the Imperial Navy, this clearly crossed the line.

Then, the military supervisor looked at Jazz and shook his head to indicate his rejection.

Sir Wellesley folded his arms and pointed his fingers again, with a peaceful smile on his face after he had finished thinking.

"Navy Captain Corcoran is an outstanding naval officer who laid down forward landing points and destroyed many enemy defense points. I think his level is obvious to everyone. Maybe the battle reports will be deceiving, but the battle line will not be."

Sir Wellesley straightened his chest, stretched out his hand to Horatio decently, tilted his head slightly and smiled at the other people in the headquarters:

"All the kings are loyal servants of the God Emperor, so what's the harm in giving advice and suggestions from capable people? Open up the avenues of speech,

It never hurts to have more energetic young brains join the battle discussion, and they can better assist us in directing the battle situation. "

The regimental military supervisor heard a hint from his words. Horatio would only have the power of staff and advice, but would not have direct command of the troops. He raised his eyebrows and maintained his robot-like stance.

Didn't say anything either.

"Of course, I sincerely hope to participate in everyone's strategic discussions. As a young man, I still have a lot to learn from the seniors on the battlefield." Horatio understood, echoed, downplaying some of the sharp content, and expressed Project an image of a humble and studious junior.

"The staff welcomes you, Mr. Horatio Cochrane." Sir Wellesley took off his hat in greeting.

Horatio also took off his hat and saluted, and then walked from the artillery mirror to the staff table.

After briefly greeting the officer who was looking at him with a completely different look, he connected his iron hand to the holographic sandbox.

On the screen that only he could see, a link in the skill tree of the Hand of Command branch lit up.

In the previous battle, after Horatio accumulated three cycles of Soul Fire, he deliberately saved 3 skill points for future emergencies, and activated other corresponding skills on the skill tree according to the specific situation.

Now, he plans to take a step further under his own command.

‘Activate the ‘War Sandbox’ primary skill’

Three points of black and gold light poured into the branch of the command hand, and under the abstract terrain icon, the four words "War Sand Table" faintly appeared.

"I now formally grant you staff authority, Mr. Corcoran."

Sir Wellesley had just finished speaking.

Horatio entered the dark field of vision, and suddenly there was a little light in the darkness in front of him.

Light poured out from the dots and spread, covering his entire field of vision in a short time.

The image in front of him became clearer. It was a rectangular war sand table exactly like the one in front of him in reality.

But unlike the holographic war sandbox, the war sandbox skill of the Hand of Command shows the seamless situation of the real battlefield, and every place can be zoomed in or out as he wishes.

Looking closer, every infantryman on the big map is clearly visible. Guns as thin as hair shoot out lasers. Toy-like villains and tank models step across the muddy battlefield, and clouds of black and gray dust rise from time to time. . Everything within the sight of friendly forces on the battlefield is displayed in his eyes.

Through the scale, Horatio could tell that the sand table in front of him was 15 kilometers by 30 kilometers. The battlefield covering hundreds of square kilometers is displayed in real time, which is only the size of a sandbox for primary skills.

On this sand table, he could see the terrain of the Astra Militarum and the enemy 15 kilometers behind each.

On the Astra Militarum side, he can clearly see the enemy's movements as long as they are within the field of vision of his unit that can be detected by the naked eye or the bird's radar.

The parts that have not been detected and investigated are shrouded in a hazy gray-white 'fog of war', which shows only the basic terrain and the enemy's layout and fighting positions cannot be seen.

(The look and feel of the war sandbox is similar to this)

"Harvey, Leidos, can you hear me?"

"Roger, we are doing the cross-winding as per your request." Ledos answered first.

"Great, Ledos, now I need you and the rifle squad next to you to help me test a new 'tech' while on a mission. said Horatio.

"No problem, what do you need us to do?"

"Captain Sharp, have you and your men seen my markings?" After only a few seconds of silence, Horatio's voice came again, asking a seemingly incoherent question.

Facing the voice of the naval officer who had met once in the command channel, Captain Sharp, who was in charge of leading two rifle reconnaissance squads, hesitated for a while and replied:

"Yes, sir."

"A holographic beacon? No human figure?"

"Yes, are you... asking us to move forward to the marking?"

"Yes. You go over there, there should be a small transport road behind the marking." Horatio said, looking at the terrain that had appeared after aerial reconnaissance despite being in the fog of war.

The rifle squad half-believed and half-doubtedly followed the guidance of his command beacon, changed the direction of travel, and passed through the plant hedge in front of them.

The tall cash crops around them, which looked like green onions, were much taller than people. Although they could help them conceal their whereabouts, they also blocked their vision. They had to look at the navigation auspicious instrument for a long time every time they walked a distance to confirm the direction of travel, otherwise they would easily get lost in this unrecognizable environment.

After walking for a while, they got out of the tall crop hedges and actually saw a road.

"Report to the commander, we have arrived at the marked place. There is indeed a two-lane road here, which is not recorded on our map. How do you know there is such a road here?"

"Thank you for your assistance, Captain. This is just a new type of command sand table application technology provided by a technical priest." Horatio said under the guise of a pretext.

"Pay attention to the enemy's logistics convoy!" Suddenly, the young officer shouted in the communication equipment.
