Warhammer 40 Spring: Loyalty of the Multiverse

Chapter 338 Reactions from all parties
"Report: The B1 position was hit by the main guns of the Taotie warship just three seconds ago. Scans show no signs of survivors!"

[Data Analysis: Using Zone 1 as the entrance, the two flank defense zones retreat to open up the defense line of Zone B1, luring the main force of Taotie to Zone B2!]
Decoy conditions: Positions B and C can be abandoned after half an hour, and the tactics of area B1 can be repeated!
Assessment: The defending forces at positions B and C have been holding out for over 14 hours. Personnel casualties have reached 70%, and ammunition consumption has reached 87%. They no longer possess defensive value. Deemed an inefficient defensive point, a decoy plan will be implemented. This is expected to reduce logistical pressure by 3.7%. Personnel mobilization rate can be increased by 1.3%.

A chilling message was instantly sent to the command center, and all the soldiers who received the order were stunned for a moment.

[Attention! This is the optimal plan. Please issue this plan to all departments for implementation within five seconds, and begin personnel mobilization within one minute. Discard any irrelevant or emotional information!]

The military region commander had already seen the plan and issued it personally without hesitation, while also contacting the commanders defending positions B and C.

"An Huailin!"

"commander!"

"Your unit is about to be dispatched on a mission that will result in total annihilation. Are you willing?"

Looking at the soldiers fighting bravely against the enemy ahead, An Huailin firmly said, "I'm willing!"

"Alright, then inform your soldiers! We respect everyone's wishes. Those who are unwilling can retreat immediately!"

"Yes!"

An Huailin hung up the phone, touched his helmet, and walked out of the air-raid shelter with a determined look, summoning all the company commanders.

"The commander personally called, and we are to withdraw from this position to defend another one. And our result is total annihilation! The camera should be sending out orders and locations soon. You only have one minute to pass on the orders. If you don't want to, you can return to the rear during the withdrawal!" An Huailin finished speaking, waved his hand, and all the company commanders saluted and quickly left.

Only then did An Huailin open his helmet, look at the photos of his wife and daughter inside, and smile. "Looks like we really can't go back!"

The next second, the order from above came down, but when he picked it up, his face turned bright red.

He was clearly angry!

Because their superiors determined that this defensive unit had no defensive value, they implemented a decoy plan.

Looking at the cold data above and the annotations behind it, only their unit had successfully completed the decoy plan.

Logistics and personnel mobilization rates will increase, playing a crucial role in this battle.

Even just a little bit is enough!

However, seeing the document clearly stating in black and white that they were being sent to hell still made me feel a little sad.

He dared not show the document to his men; he couldn't bear the look they gave him.

And below are the pleas from his brothers and family members afterward!
"Fuck you, you damned alien dog!" he cursed, tearing the documents behind him to shreds and taking only the dispatch order with him.

Then he walked out of the command post!

Inside the military region's headquarters, after the commander hung up the phone, he seemed to have aged decades.

The clear command to send his soldiers to their deaths, and the order to ensure the complete annihilation of the army, put immense pressure on him.

"Why do you want to do this?" The commander walked up to a technical sergeant who was sitting in his seat, rapidly analyzing various data, and asked him in a cold voice.

Meanwhile, the other Chinese soldiers in the room also stared coldly at the technical sergeant, all waiting for an answer.

They knew they shouldn't do this, but their inner anger compelled them to find an outlet.

Even if this towering giant stood up, bowed to them, and said sorry, they could suppress their grief and indignation.

"No sacrifice is too great to be accepted, and no betrayal too small to be forgiven." The technical sergeant didn't even glance at them, continuing to process the data rapidly before him. "The empire was built on sacrifice! And sacrifice is the cornerstone of the empire!"

At this point, the technical sergeant finally turned to face them directly. "And this! This is the fundamental tone of the universe, the universe that your China will face in the future. Adapt to sacrifice in advance, incorporate death and sacrifice into your genes! Let them become the cornerstone of your Chinese continuation!"

Upon hearing these words, the commander staggered back a few steps, but fortunately he was able to lean against the command table and not fall.

It was only at this moment that he realized that everything in the universe was far darker and more cruel than those of them who had never left the universe!
Therefore, all previous judgments about the universe were wrong.

Tie Hui watched this scene without saying a word!
Sacrifice is the cornerstone of empire!
Wars throughout the millennia, every single battle.

Countless mortal warriors died on battlefields unknown to anyone, and even the Imperial Angels Astartes fell one by one.

In that doomed universe, no one is immune to death. Everyone's fate is sealed: death!
And this is the first lesson he is going to teach China on its journey to the universe!

Meanwhile, Mr. Zhou and his group, far away in Shanhaiguan, watched as reports piled up and troops deemed to have no value were ordered to take up positions that were practically impossible for any living beings to survive, and were abandoned like expendable pawns.

They closed their eyes in anguish!

"This is the path we must take! Just like our predecessors! Someone always has to make sacrifices!"

Meanwhile, aboard Taotie's command ship, Shihao stared at his subordinates' furious report. He too fell silent for a moment.
"Your Majesty! Those Chinese don't care about death at all. They're using their heavily damaged troops as bait, constantly luring our main force to launch surprise attacks on key positions! Then they unleash a concentrated barrage, causing us enormous casualties. According to reports from the front lines, our allied forces have suffered more than three times the casualties of the Chinese troops! Even with naval artillery attacks, those bait troops are too few in number to achieve our intended kill count. And there are always sporadic units coming to block our way. But that key area is a strategic point we absolutely must break through. Our casualties are too high; we request a withdrawal from the battlefield for rest and reorganization!"

"We cannot retreat!" Shihao was also very strategic. He knew that with the technological support that China had received, even a minute's gap in the retreat would be crucial.

Then the line formed by that strategic location will be completely lost!
Now all we can do is resort to the "oil-based" tactic!

"But, Your Majesty! If we cannot retreat, please provide more weapons, equipment, and personnel. Especially our warships! I don't know where those Chinese troops got a batch of anti-aircraft firepower! It can even penetrate our energy barrier, and just a few shots can turn a capital ship into a pile of scrap metal! Now the warships dare not lower their altitude easily! As a result, those anti-aircraft firepower are firing horizontally, directly causing huge casualties to our assault troops!"

"Let the armies of other civilizations take the lead first. And didn't we get some auxiliary troops on Earth? Let them serve as cannon fodder. And aren't there still a group of demons? They're just wandering around the planet like mercenaries! We should ask Morgana if she still recognizes those mercenaries. If not, then we'll need to ask them for help!" Howling looked at the screen in front of him. Behind him, two Taotie warriors were maintaining and repairing the mechanical wings on Venus.

"Could we contact those Deno Allied Forces?" Just then, a Taotie officer who had taken his seat asked cautiously.

"Those Deno people have been wandering for ten thousand years! They've finally found a place to settle down, how could they possibly compromise with us?" Shihao clenched his fist. "They'd love for us and Earth civilization to fight to the death so they can reap the benefits! Angels, demons, and even the Blazing Sun are all preparing to seize their own interests on Earth. The higher-ups are still discussing it! Everyone is watching this battle between us and China. If China wins, the angels and demons can intervene even more easily. And don't forget, Blazing Sun Lena is now in our hands, which is also considered an enemy of the Blazing Sun. So we must win this battle! No matter the cost!" The icy tone of Shihao's voice made the Taotie officers shiver involuntarily.

Meanwhile, in the command center of Demon 1, Morgana stared in shock at the data screen displayed by Atai.

"Holy crap, have these Chinese people gone mad?! They're going to fight the Taotie with a do-or-die attitude! Aren't they afraid of a lose-lose situation where those Deno people will get the better of them?"

Atuo stepped forward and handed over a report. "Your Majesty! I'm afraid the Deno people might not even gain the upper hand. After all, China has a huge population. The Deno Taotie, plus all the spacefaring civilizations in the entire Styx Galaxy, barely match the population of China! I think perhaps China is using this crazy tactic to intimidate any civilizations with ambitions!"

Morgana took the report, and her pupils dilated as she looked at the information on it. She pointed to the sentence and exclaimed, "Damn, that's so cool! Sacrifice is the cornerstone of China! No sacrifice is too great to be unacceptable! These two sentences directly express the attitude of the entire nation! Looks like Karl is going to suffer a bit!"

"Your Majesty, what about us?" Atuo asked cautiously. "We discovered many promising talents during this battle!"

Upon hearing this, Morgana put down the report in her hand, tapped her fingers lightly on the armrest next to her chair, and fell into thought.

Half a minute later, he said, "Then let's find an opportunity to bring those brave warriors under our demonic banner!"

"it is good!"

Meanwhile, the angels around the Sichuan region of China were even more shocked by this battle, and they started chattering about it everywhere.

"My God! Has China gone mad?"

"I don't know! I've already sent someone to contact Sister Leng on North Star! The battle China is fighting right now is terrifying! It's practically a matter of lives being sacrificed!"

“I have read their history. They did the same thing decades ago when they faced the invasion of that small country across the sea!”

"They are brave and righteous, and their sense of justice and courage is probably even stronger than that of us angels!"

"Yes, they're so much better than those scumbags recorded in the Heavenly Court of Merlo! They're brave, righteous, and family-oriented! If only those guys were like them!"

"Stop being so lovey-dovey! They only live for a few decades. The pain of parting when the time comes will be unbearable for anyone!"

"By the way, didn't another civilization help them?"

"You mean those five tall, armored men?"

"That's right! They seem to be very powerful!"

"I sensed something unjust about them!"

"Should we help these Chinese soldiers?"

"For justice! Sisters!"

As the last sentence fell, the angel who spoke it spread his wings and launched an attack towards the Styx Alliance.
