Dedicate loyalty to the good empire

Chapter 468 No, the bugs are digging trenches?!

Be the Emperor, Taylor's enemies are always smart and sharp, especially after they tasted defeat, the speed at which they summarize is always incredible.

Of course, such an enemy is challenging, but it was the first time that Taylor felt that his tactical style was so difficult to deal with.

Aren’t those bugs a little too pragmatic?
Why use all means?
It is hard to imagine that Taylor will have to evaluate his opponent in this way one day. After all, his methods are pretty much the same. It is indeed a bit aggrieved that he is now being "learned from the barbarians to defeat them".

The insects' ability to adapt now really surprised him, but this matter was not a big deal. After all, even if the insects began to imitate humans, they would not rely on this to make a living.

Human beings have an ancient history of trench warfare that dates back 40,000 years. Taylor is not exaggerating, but he believes that the ancient race that lived with the soil is probably the best abbreviation for human beings.

Thinking about it now, Taylor also realized that it was not feasible to continue letting the greenskins dig trenches, because he could see that the Zerg's trenches were gradually eating up their front lines.

Those things with chitinous exoskeleton defense fortresses and bone spike launchers almost perfectly replicated human tactics, and the living front fortresses gave the trenches mobility.

Although the heavy giant bone spikes and acid launchers could not move under the weight of the exaggerated chitinous skeleton, those exaggerated war equipment had their own will.

Those things were probably still node creatures. It could be said that the Zerg had completely abandoned its usual swift and fiery fighting style because of the Krieg's desperate resistance.

Now, almost in an instant, they changed into a war pattern that was more suitable for the current surface of the Krieg world, like a highly efficient war decision-maker.

Taylor had to admit that the ridiculous greenskins under his command could hardly compare to those things, and he also had to admit that the Krieg people's demands were not meaningless.

At this critical juncture, he was forced to hold a war council for the Kriegs and make his point clear.

In the Krieg command room, lit by the light of promethium lamps and filled with the hissing sounds of breathing from the underground ventilation ducts, Taylor looked at the brown-haired Krieg cavalry girl in front of him.

She was about 24 years old, in the prime of her life, with a determined gaze and a cavalry sword at her waist. Behind her was a cloak representing the cavalry regiment commander, which was flying across the ground.

She had already made all preparations calmly. After all, for the Krieg people, rebelling against superiors means death, recklessness, and disloyalty.

Their ancestors were humiliated for this, and they are still punished for it today. Her questioning of Taylor now is a questioning of the Empire and the Primarch.

Therefore, she came here to die, hoping to change the situation of the war with her own views. She was very uneasy because of this, but her Krieg education prevented her from expressing her emotions.

And her uneasiness was not due to death, but because she was questioning the representatives of the Empire.

And they are absolutely loyal, so it is impossible to question. For her, her questioning is disloyalty.

Infidelity is betrayal. Even if there is no price to pay, she will be unable to sleep or eat. Of course, she is not afraid of death. She is only afraid that Taylor will use a bomb to take her life and let her die here.

So that she could not sacrifice her life for the Emperor...

That was how the Kriegs were. Even if Taylor judged loyalty by the strictest standards he could imagine, he couldn't draw any connection between the Kriegs' behavior and disloyalty.

Of course, Taylor doesn't like to put on airs, and he said it almost directly.

"I have a problem, don't I?"

The cavalry lady simply replied calmly, "Yes, sir."

Taylor continued. "I loved you too much to allow those xenos to replace the Empire's best warriors and cause us to miss our chance."

The cavalry girl continued to answer. "Yes! My lord!" Taylor said. "Well, the situation is pretty much as you described. I can accept it, by the Emperor."

"I need to send you to the front lines..."

"My lord, you?" She choked. This was the most exaggerated emotion she could muster in front of Krieg. To be precise, this did not meet the standards for new recruits, but she had actually served the Emperor for almost five years.

First of all, Kriegs go to war at the age of 16, and secondly, she is almost 24.

She had seen a lot of bastards, especially those rubbish commanders whose noses were higher than their heads and whose minds were full of honor and victory.

She didn't want to admit that there were so many parasites in the empire, but today she actually saw hope again. It was a kind of happiness that came from the heart, an emotion she had not tasted for a long time.

hope……

"My Lord, I would go through fire and water for you..." She almost replied sincerely, but Taylor just said it.

"Then I'll make up for my mistake and call a few reliable brothers to the surface. I don't care about the damage the radiation may cause you now, but I'll remember this."

"Even for the Emperor, do not shed your life in the trenches and in the soil."

The Krieg trooper asked doubtfully, "Are you worried about us?"

Taylor replied. "You are my soldiers. I must worry about you, I must care for you. This is the duty the Emperor has placed upon me, since my bitter days during the Plague Wars."

"You may not have heard, but most Imperial commanders think that being too kind to my soldiers is a serious flaw. They even deducted 3 points from my tactical assessment because of it."

"But to be honest, I can't change it."

"Let me put it this way. I have quite a few iodine tablets and antibiotics, and I'm transporting them to the Death World of Krieg at all costs. Meanwhile, the best medical nuns and genetic sages are on standby."

"The Emperor, I truly dote on you to no end, but I know you won't let me down."

"The new engineer's shovel is ready. It's Cawl's invention. It can pierce, chop, dig, and smash. It has a complex deformation mechanism and is made of reliable ceramic steel. It is the best in the Empire and the only one of its kind."

The Krieger lady sighed. "My Lord, this is the first time I feel so sorry for being a cavalryman."

"I want to try those, the feel of that engineer shovel."

"I'm sorry I questioned you, for I now realize that you are the Emperor's will..."

Taylor said with a laugh. "I've worn the top hat!"

"I'm not. I'm just an ordinary person. I've been through the trenches with you guys and I know those days are tough."

Ms. Krieger didn't answer, but she actually understood it completely in her heart.

If the Emperor's divinity and power remained on the Golden Throne, the man before her now must surely be the last of his humanity...
