Chapter 185 "Lieutenant Leos"
Having finally escaped, Russell was extremely frustrated, and he had no idea what to do next.
Just when he was at his wit's end, good news arrived.
A Kashejin soldier delivered a letter written by his instructor, Sancho.
Russell took the "letter" and quickly opened it, where he read:
"Captain Russell, how have you been lately?"
"After three years of training, I have trained over a hundred more Kashejin warriors. Most of these Kashejin warriors have been taken away by other Kashejin divisions. I have only left you 30 elite warriors. I know your Blade of Fire needs more warriors, but this is my limit. I can only leave you this many people."
"There is also good news. A division of Kashejin warriors was almost completely wiped out in the battle against the Chaos Enemy. Now only twenty men remain in the division. On my recommendation, Lieutenant Leos has decided to join the Blade of Fire. He is an experienced warrior and will be a good assistant."
"Good luck!" were the last three words in the letter.
Russell felt a strange sense of gratitude. He slowly put away the letter and pondered for a long time before saying, "Let's not go anywhere for a while and let the brothers have a good rest."
He had to wait, firstly for Leos to arrive, and secondly to carefully plan what they should do next.
This time, killing the orc war leader did not earn him 10,000 "Great Muscle Fragments," but only 1,000. Russell felt that this might be related to his strength. Of course, if he wanted to truly understand what was going on, he would need to meet "A." This was just the code name of that mysterious man, the system and weapon he gave him. As for how this system worked, only he probably knew best.
Russell was already quite satisfied with the reward of only 1,000 points, since killing the orc leader was an easy task.
No matter how you look at it, killing one orc warlord is easier than killing a thousand orc lads.
Time passed quickly, and Leos finally arrived at Vigilant Planet with his men and found Russell.
Since it was their first time meeting, they sized each other up.
Leos was 2 meters tall and had a very strong physique. He wore a light green shell armor, which was riddled with bullet holes. He was not wearing a helmet, had short hair, a square face, and countless scars on his dark face. One of the most obvious scars ran from his nostril to his chin. There was a notch on both his upper and lower lips. Russell's assessment of him was that he was an upright and tough guy. He liked this kind of "warrior!"
Leos also had his own evaluation of Russell.
In Leos's eyes, this captain was also a rare tough warrior. He had never seen anyone as strong as him. He was considered a big man wherever he went, but in front of this captain, he looked like a skinny guy. The captain also had short hair, a neatly trimmed beard, bright eyes, a high nose, thin lips, and a pointed chin. He looked heroic. This appearance reminded Leos of a Terran veteran, but that veteran had already died in battle.
“Captain Russell!” Leos saluted Russell.
Russell nodded and said: Lieutenant Leos?
Leos nodded and said: I am Lieutenant Leos.
“It’s a pleasure to have you here, Lieutenant Leos. Come, let’s sit down and talk.”
At Russell's invitation, the two sat down.
"My lord, are you a Terran?" Leos couldn't help but ask.
Russell thought for a moment and said: I am a Cardian, not a Terran.
"But you look a lot like the Terrans."
Russell smiled and then changed the subject: "I heard from Instructor Sandra that you are an experienced warrior. You suffered heavy losses when you fought against the Chaos Enemy. Can you tell me about that incident?"
Leos nodded and said: "We were ambushed by the traitors 'Word Bearers' while we were fighting them. It was the offspring of 'Lion' who saved us. It was a very brutal battle..."
After Leos finished speaking, Russell said: "Our main enemy next is the orcs. Do you have any experience in dealing with orcs?"
"There are some. Every orc tribe, regardless of size, has an orc leader. The best way to deal with orcs is to kill their leader. Once their leader is killed, the orcs will fall into chaos."
After Leos finished speaking, Russell also said: "That's what I think too, but the number of orcs far exceeds ours, and the orc kids are very dangerous. If we get into a fight, we probably won't be a match for them."
Every soldier in the Empire knows this: the physical strength of ordinary humans cannot compare to that of orcs, and even Kashezan warriors cannot match them, unless they are Space Marines.
“I have studied some of the methods used by Space Marines to fight Orks. Those superhuman warriors also carried out rapid decapitation strikes against Orks. Our individual soldier quality is naturally not comparable to that of the Space Marines, so we have no choice but to adopt this method.”
"I want to form a fully mechanized force, such as all our Blade Warriors riding motorcycles and racing orcs in the wild. This way, we can not only wear down the enemy's strength but also find opportunities to kill the orc leader," Russell said, expressing his idea.
This is not a novel idea; in fact, it's quite ordinary.
How many people are there in total now?
Russell thought for a moment and said: 76 people.
“It’s not difficult for us to mechanize our entire force since we don’t have many people, but it seems that our soldiers don’t have any experience in this area?” Leos had his own concerns.
Russell laughed indifferently: "You'll have experience after two battles."
"That's true, but our soldiers aren't those trash orcs whose deaths don't matter. Kashejin are elite warriors who have undergone long-term training and development, requiring countless manpower and resources. Losing even one of them is a huge loss for us."
Leos was telling the truth, and Russell thought so too. They couldn't bear to suffer losses; even the death of a single warrior would break Russell's heart. But then he thought: That's true, but we were born for war, and all Kashejin warriors were born for war. Fighting orcs is dangerous, but fighting any other enemy is just as dangerous. We are Kashejin warriors, and we must fight the most dangerous and cruel enemies. Only in this way can we live up to the name "Kashejin".
Leos remained silent and said, "You're right, sir. I haven't gotten over the shadow of my last defeat yet!"
