Chapter 618, The Abilities of the New World Torch
Wang Mengsong watched the battle with cold eyes.
What did he have to say? He is just an ordinary soldier in the battle group's atonement camp. He is the person who led the battle group to commit serious crimes. What qualifications do he have to speak?
No one will listen.
And Wang Mengsong himself was in a very awkward state of mind.
The Alliance wanted to surrender, but he had already surrendered, and was still on the Moon Star, participating in a crucial backstab against the Raging Flames.
The Alliance wanted to sentence the entire chapter to a redemption expedition, and he admitted it. After all, he had committed a crime. What's more, this kind of atonement expedition under the protection of the alliance is actually no different from normal conditions, and there is no suffering.
The Alliance removed him as Chapter Master and did not allow him to continue to command and lead the Chapter. Instead, he was asked to enter the Atonement Camp, which he still accepted. It is understandable that Gu Hang would not trust him. Moreover, he asked himself that everything he did was selfless and was for the survival and even development of the war group. It's okay if he doesn't serve as the chapter leader. It doesn't matter if he goes to the Atonement Camp and becomes an ordinary soldier. He would do anything for the sake of the Chapter.
However, what happened next made him feel that something was wrong.
The Chapter was quickly replenished.
It was so fast that he found it incredible!
He is a Chapter Master who once took charge of the operations of the entire Chapter. He knows better than anyone how troublesome and time-consuming it is to replenish the Chapter.
The alliance simply found 800 young people who fully met the conditions for gene seed surgery?
Then in just over half a year, these people completed the implantation of gene seeds, and then they all grew superhuman organs?
The alliance has a big secret!
And it’s not pretending at all, it’s just plainly displayed!
Are these really the cubs of our New Age torch?
He is one of the ten thousand unbelievers.
There are not that many gene seeds!
He also secretly found the pharmacist of the war group, the one who was also sent to the atonement camp with him, and secretly obtained some biological samples of these new and new world torches for testing.
He is really the seed of his own war group, and there is no problem with his bloodline.
Moreover, these ‘new recruits’ showed a very strong level of strength. Although he has become a Space Marine not long ago, he is as skilled as the previous veterans of the Chapter, or even better.
The new chapter leader named Moretti is particularly outstanding. If such a character had appeared in the battle group, Wang Mengsong would definitely be ecstatic. The thing that he has always been most worried about is that there will be no successor to the war group. He barely managed to grow up on his own, and compared favorably with the champions of other Chapters. However, no new members have grown up in the war group, which makes him quite worried.
But now, the new chapter leader has a very good level. Although Wang Mengsong is relieved a lot, he still feels a little bit sour in his heart.
Although he didn't want to admit it, when he dreamed back in the middle of the night, he did have a picture in his mind: the battle group was all a bunch of new recruits with little experience, and then they were defeated in each operation. As for myself, as the former Chapter Leader, I was more or less respected and would be asked for my opinions...
However, this did not happen at all.
The Atonement Camp, the Atonement Camp, is exactly what it sounds like. They old people are all guilty.
The new blood of the Chapter, hating them.
Especially he hates Wang Mengsong himself.
These new recruits have fully accepted their identity as the 'Torch of the New Era', have a strong sense of honor, and have the mission of rebuilding the glory of the Chapter. But precisely because of this, the chapter was considered a traitor to the empire, and even committed two extremely atrocious acts of stabbing friendly troops in the back. After becoming famous, it is normal for the initiator to be hated.
The poor treatment and isolated attitude made Wang Mengsong and others feel uncomfortable.
Even if they follow the general usage of the atonement camp and send people to the most brutal battles to be consumed as punishment, they may still be able to accept it.
But there is none of these.
The new warriors regard every battle as a great opportunity to wash away their sins and gain merit, and they want to fight every battle beautifully, no matter the cost. Under such circumstances, how could they be willing to let the Atonement Camp go? Wouldn’t that bring shame on one’s own achievements?
This feeling of being ignored and marginalized makes them even more uncomfortable.
Moreover, the group culture formed within these recruits is also very... strange.
They have never received guidance from the old Torch in terms of tactical style, but they spontaneously formed a fighting and tactical style similar to the old Torch. This is normal. They have the same bloodline, the same seeds, and the same things they are good at and not good at, so their tactical styles will naturally tend to be the same.
However, apart from the tactical style, the rest of the group culture is really very different.
In the past, the New Age Torch didn't pay much attention to it. The relationship with mortals was good or bad, the internal atmosphere was relatively friendly, and they were polite to each other... But the new war group has a very strict internal atmosphere, and everyone suffers and hates each other. deep.
Moreover, the Alliance's set of things have been profoundly moved in. The Chapter Chaplain plays a role similar to the political commissar in the Alliance army. The entire war group is very fanatically loyal to the Alliance, believing that they were born with original sin, so all sacrifices are what they deserve.
He has such a sacrificial spirit and a strong tendency towards martyrdom, which is completely different from the New Age torches of the past.
Wang Mengsong also had a lot of opinions on this, thinking that it didn't look like the New World Torch at all. He even sadly thought that the New World Torch was gone, and now there was just a loyal dog of the alliance, borrowing the corpse of the New World Torch. Resurrection.
Of course, what he thinks is unimportant and meaningless.
In this way, he accepted his fate and followed the battle group in a daze, descending to the surface of Alamita to carry out his mission.
Moretti rarely brought them along.
After all, the difficulty of the task is here, and its importance is beyond doubt. He had to use all the strength of the battle group, even the Atonement Camp.
Wang Mengsong is just like an ordinary soldier - oh, that's what he is - fighting with the battle group.
First, they forcibly entered the space elevator. The alliance agents had arranged this step in advance, and the local oil man provided help.
The next step was to quickly launch a surprise attack after the elevator arrived at the star port.
This is divided into three parts:
First, expand the scale of the battle, attract attention, and create chaos.
Second, capture key areas as much as possible. This point can be coordinated with the previous point.
Third, behead a hawkish sage from the Mechanicum who was managing the starport.
Of course Wang Mengsong is not qualified to do the third point, he can only do the first and second tasks.
To be honest, he didn't do a bad job.
He and his old brothers from the Atonement Battalion killed many enemies and occupied many strategic locations, including a command center, which paralyzed communications between enemies in a large area.
He has accomplished his mission.
On the contrary, it was the so-called elites of the battle group who were responsible for beheadings who encountered a problem.
The elites of the Mechanicus are not really that easy to deal with.
After the sage reacted, his own combat strength was here, and the fully armed mechanical sage was not easy to deal with.
At the same time, a large number of elite skitarii deployed a strong defense line to resist the attack of the New Age Torch.
The second company commander in charge was obviously anxious.
He began to suppress the strength of the battle group regardless of casualties, and launched a crazy attack regardless of casualties and losses.
Wang Mengsong couldn't help it, and led a small team to get closer.
He did not participate in the battle. After all, he did not receive orders and could not act without authorization.
He could only see with his own eyes from a distance how each New Age Torch died in the dense firepower net of the Skitarii.
The powerful mechas carried by the Knight Titans, combined with the Cyborg troops of the Skitarii, showed strong combat strength.
Their front was constantly being squeezed, and the New Age Torch's attack seemed to have achieved good results despite huge sacrifices.
However, the experienced Wang Mengsong could see that it was the opponent's intention. They are trading space for the vitality of the Space Marines.
The price of blood paid for every step forward by the New Age Torch is too high.
Fighting like this won't work.
But what to do?
Continue to sit on the sidelines?
He thought he could calmly watch these recruits who hated him die one by one, even if they all died, it didn't matter.
After all, in his understanding, he does not think that these people whose culture and ethos are completely different from those of the old Torches are the Torches of the New Age. So what's the big deal if they all die?
What's more, he didn't get any orders. At this critical moment, the second company commander did not try to call them from the Atonement Camp to come over for help.
Deserve it!
He thought so in his heart, and every time a New World Torch Warrior was in front of him, his brows would raise unconsciously.
In the battle group's communication channel, he heard the roars of these new warriors one after another:
"For the alliance!" Wang Mengsong even sneered at this.
"For the empire! For the emperor!" Wang Mengsong didn't care too much. For hundreds of years, the New Age Torch had been shouting this, and he was tired of shouting.
"For the New Age Torch!" Well, that's a little interesting.
"To wash away our sins!" Who are you talking about?
"With my blood, history will be made!" This seems to be their new group slogan? Is it necessary?
…
With a cold face, Wang Mengsong clenched his teeth.
He still refused to admit that he had made a mistake. After all, what would the New Age Torch be like today without his decisions? I'm afraid it has long since disappeared into history.
If he hadn't followed Tie Kai in the rebellion, could Tie Kai let them go? The war situation seven or eight years ago was not what it was like these two years. The power of the empire has not yet gathered, and at that stage, with the power of the New Age Torch, fighting against the iron armor will undoubtedly lead to death, and the only outcome will be the destruction of the entire group.
Well, it’s just a matter of backstabbing friendly troops, destroying a battle group, and defeating the first batch of troops of the Ordo Hereticus. It’s a little bit fucked up...
On Huan Yue Star, although he stabbed him in the back again, wasn't that to bring order to the chaos and give the alliance a certificate of honor? This can't be regarded as one's own sin, right?
Although it ruined the reputation of the war group...
And what are these young new bloods doing now?
The reason why they were born with so much suffering, and the whole atmosphere of the war group is serious and emphasizes sacrifice, then what is the reason?
No matter how much he didn't want to admit it, he had to admit it, in order to fill in the many big holes he had buried back then.
Why does the torch of the New Age need to ‘make history with my blood’? Because their past is so shameful.
These disgraceful things, no matter how many objective reasons Wang Mengsong has to defend himself, they still exist.
But now, can he really stay here with peace of mind and watch these juniors who are different from him and even hate him die one by one?
He slowly raised his hand and connected the communication channel: "You can't fight like this. I suggest you withdraw for a while and leave some troops to continue to fight here and look for breakthroughs in other directions."
"Shut up, traitor, you have no place to speak here."
It is not surprising at all that the second company commander, who has already received a red eye, has such an attitude.
Although he was scolded, Wang Mengsong had already made his decision.
"Atonement Camp, come with me. We have to let those young brats take a serious look at what the New Age Torch's true abilities are!"
