The operation to clear the OU-2941 resource belt went very smoothly. Although the green skins resisted fiercely, under such a fierce offensive, they only lasted less than half an hour before being completely defeated.
This time, the Black Templars were awarded the honor of attacking the enemy's core location. Although the location of the green-skinned boss could not be determined, generally speaking, these beasts like to place themselves in conspicuous positions, and this mining station is undoubtedly the most conspicuous. It's the master control tower.
However, during the airdrop battle, due to various reasons, only three combat companies of the Black Templar finally rushed into the main control tower. However, they still completed the task and wiped out all the green skins that were stubbornly resisting inside.
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, Ekut Sullivan, the sword brother of the Black Templar, 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 greenskin, and the sound of the bolter was just right. Covered by the explosions in the surrounding facilities, he didn't know the identity of the green-skinned man, 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-filled battlefield was not good for visibility, and the noise interfered with everything.
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. The public opinion propaganda will definitely write a big book about it. When the war ends in the future, Sosh Yang also wants to award medals to those who have made meritorious deeds, so judging the kill is still very important in the grand scheme of things.
Therefore, when Jacob and others arrived at the scene of the incident, many soldiers had gathered from all regiments participating in the battle, and the killed greenskin leader was lying in the mine cart, his head tilted back, his forehead There is a sword stuck on the top, keeping the expression of opening his mouth and closing his eyes.
"The chapter leader is here too."
After scanning the crowd, Jacob saw Soshyan fifty meters away from the green-skinned corpse. Surrounding him were the leaders of several battle groups, who were checking the helmet image records of the two warriors.
After a few minutes, Soshyan shook his head.
"It's impossible to judge."
Just from the perspective of the two warriors, it is impossible to tell who kills the enemy first, and there is no third party around. If we use the idea of making peace with each other, it will be half and half.
but
He looked at Helbrecht, who also frowned slightly, seeming to be thinking about something.
If we 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 Helbrecht, why don't we blame Sullivan?"
But Helbrecht shook his head, then summoned Sullivan and asked:
"Why did you let the greenskin leader escape?"
"Report, it hides a small teleporter that we were not aware of."
"In other words, it was your mistake?"
Sullivan paused, then replied:
"Yes!"
"So it was your mistake that caused the greenskin leader to escape. If something else happened, he might have escaped successfully, right?"
Sullivan was speechless.
"If the greenskin leader is allowed to escape, then most of this battle will be a failure. I have made it clear before. Then everything you do afterwards is just to make up for the consequences of previous mistakes. This cannot be called credit. You accept it. Is this true?"
Glancing 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 made up for your mistakes, so..."
Helbrecht turned and looked at Soshyan.
"Brother Robin deserves this achievement."
"this"
Soshyan glanced at Sullivan, and then said:
"Well, let's count it as 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 it. 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 cleaned up. Once it is confirmed that there are no major With the greenskins remaining, the rest of the work can be left to the 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, one troubled two Decades of stubborn problems in the galaxy were dealt with in a few days, so the Red Pirates don't seem to be insurmountable. After all, the true number of the Red Pirates has always been a mystery, and most people who don't know just see it as just a larger heretical group. .
Now that the empire's heavenly soldiers have demonstrated their thunderous power, how long can the red pirates struggle?
Just the 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 crimes, and was subsequently collectively suppressed. Trials were held, thousands were executed, tens of thousands awaited verdicts, and hundreds of thousands were arrested.
But when the report was submitted to Soshyan, he saw an even more shocking situation and an unexpected person——
