Chapter 195 The Surprise Attack "Plan"
The war on the front lines has temporarily come to an end. The orcs have ceased their attacks, and the defending forces are no longer able to retaliate.
"Where is Kayans?" Commissar Arek knew that Russell and Kayans were very close and always inseparable, but he did not see him this time.
When Karyans Russell was mentioned, his expression immediately darkened.
"He was killed; the Death Guard killed him!"
"That's such a pity!"
How have you been these past few years?
“I’ve been fighting orcs all these years, and I heard from them that you saved me?” Commissar Arek had been thinking about this all along.
"Yes, I rescued you from the ruins!" Russell told the truth without hiding anything.
“Thank you so much!” Commissar Arek said to Russell.
Russell smiled and waved his hand, saying: "It was nothing, don't worry about it."
“It’s just a small favor for you, but for me it’s my life!” Commissar Arek didn’t think it was a small matter at all.
The two reminisced for a long time.
…………
The first group of Space Marines finally arrived at the battlefield, with Captain Aksu leading fifty Space Marines bearing the name of the Aegis.
Upon arriving, Aksu immediately devised a daring plan: to assassinate the Orc war leader.
Even for Space Marines, this was no easy task; they probably couldn't have accomplished it alone.
However, something unexpected happened: neither faction was willing to help him, so he had no choice but to contact Russell through Vice Admiral Jill.
When Company Commander Aksu came to find Russell, Russell was discussing matters related to the Black Pirate Alliance with Political Commissar Arek.
Commissar Arrek also has some knowledge of the Black Pirate Alliance, possibly more than Russell.
“Completely eradicating the Black Pirate Alliance is no easy task,” Commissar Arek said.
Russell frowned slightly and said: Why do you say that too?
"The Black Pirate Alliance was formed after the Nachmond Corridor appeared. Many high-ranking leaders of the Empire have tried to wipe them out. In my memory, the 'Outward Expedition' once tried to do this, but it ended in failure."
Russell was unaware of this matter, but he had heard of the "Revive Order" and believed that if even they could not accomplish something, they alone would be even less capable of doing it.
Just as Russell was hesitating about how to answer, Leos walked in from outside.
"Lord Russell, Company Commander Aksu wishes to see you!"
Company Commander Aksu and Russell were old friends, but Russell had never really paid any attention to him before. This time, however, Russell had actually condescended to come and find him.
Russell quickly stood up and said, "Let's go and welcome Company Commander Aksu together!"
The Aksu company commander was still wearing the same gear: a massive Iron Cavalry-style Terminator suit, a power axe hanging from his waist, a storm assault cannon mounted on his left arm, and no helmet.
The two met soon after. The Aksu company commander glanced at Russell, and Russell also glanced at the company commander. They both recognized each other. The Aksu company commander hadn't changed much, but Russell had changed a lot. The Aksu company commander was stunned for a moment and couldn't be sure that the strong man in front of him was "Russell".
"Company Commander Aksu, don't you recognize me?" Russell said with a smile.
Aksu thought for a moment and said: I don't think you used to be this tall and strong. How did you become like this? Did you also undergo a modification surgery?
Aksu believed that only those who had undergone Space Marine modification surgery could be so strong, but in fact even Space Marine recruits were not as strong as Russell.
Russell shook his head and said: I haven't undergone any transformation. As for why I became like this? I don't know, and neither do the judges.
The Aksu company commander gave a wry smile and said: "We haven't seen each other for many years, have we?"
Russell nodded and said: Yes.
"It's clear that you've made a lot of progress over the years. You've not only become stronger and healthier, but you've also become a Kashejin warrior."
“Captain of the Blade of Fire!” Russell said seriously.
Company Commander Aksu smiled and said: Very good, Captain Russell, I came here this time to ask for your help!
Russell frowned slightly and said, "Did I hear that right? What can I do to help you, Company Commander?"
Upon hearing this, Aksu's face immediately darkened. He said, "This is truly infuriating. I've fought for the Empire for a hundred years, and this is the first time I've encountered such a situation. The Imperial Navy, the Defense Force, the Mechanicus, the Knight Families, and so on, have all turned a deaf ear to my requests? I had no choice but to come to you!"
"Who sent you to find me?" Russell guessed it must be Jill.
"It was General Gil, he said you were willing to help me!" The Aksu company commander's answer confirmed Russell's conjecture.
Russell did not immediately agree to Aksu's request, but instead said: "I feel there's something wrong with this."
"Something's not right?" Company Commander Aksu didn't understand why Russell was saying this.
"I think this is a bit of a reversal of the natural order, isn't it? In the past, they were the ones who needed your help, but now you're asking them for help. Why?"
“At this rate, the orcs will soon break through the hive world and destroy it completely. I don’t want to see that happen, so my decision is to use appropriate tactics to temporarily undermine the orcs’ cohesion, so that we can hold out until the arrival of the ‘Unyielding Expedition’ fleet.”
"That's a great tactic!" Russell exclaimed.
“But those noble lords wouldn’t think that way, those bastards who eat the fruits of others’ labor!” Aksu cursed angrily.
“Company Commander Aksu, I can support you, but the Fireblade's manpower is limited and we can’t provide much support!” Russell said, explaining his predicament.
"How many people do you have?"
“67 people!” Russell answered truthfully.
Company Commander Aksu was silent for a moment before saying, "I only brought 50 Space Marines with me. In total, we only have a little over a hundred men. It won't be an easy task for such a small force to successfully kill the Orc War Chief."
"I have no choice but to mobilize the members of the Blade of Fire. As for the Imperial Navy, the Star Force, and the Defense Force, I have no authority to mobilize them."
“Perhaps I can help you!” Commissar Arrek, who had been silent until Russell finished speaking, said.
The Aksu company commander glanced at the political commissar and said: "Political commissar, do you have any good ideas?"
“I can mobilize several thousand Astral Army soldiers, but the composition of this force is quite diverse.” Commissar Arek was unsure whether Company Commander Aksu would be interested in his troops.
"I need strong firepower support, a rapid attack, and a rapid withdrawal, because we are about to carry out a decapitation strike!" Aksu Company Commander stated his requirements.
“They can do it!” Commissar Arek said.
