Warhammer 40: Saviors Emerging from the Bottom

After a moment's thought, Xiao Yi agreed to the request. Why not give it a try? There was no harm in it anyway, and if it succeeded, it would be a major blow to the enemy.

"Remove the shackles from his hands."

"Yes, Lord Xiao Yi." The jailer, having received the order, jogged back and brought back a rather thin-looking soldier, who was the key to the shackles.

After giving his superior the Imperial Eagle salute, Key walked over to Theodore and placed his index finger on the shackles where fingerprints were to be identified.

After the green scanning light confirmed the situation twice, it clicked and released the shackles from their locked state.

Looking at his hands, which had regained their freedom, Theodore could no longer hide his excitement. The intense emotional change tugged at his facial muscles, making the already hideous scars on his face look even more terrifying.

He placed his hands on the ground and kowtowed to Xiao Yi, then said in an excited tone, "Thank you for giving me this opportunity, sir. I will certainly live up to your expectations and complete the mission."

When people encounter problems, they tend to rely on their past experiences to solve them.

So when Theodore was captured and thrown into a prisoner-of-war camp, he assumed he was already dead, since the noble coalition wouldn't bother feeding prisoners.

Once captured, there were only two paths: those who were good-looking would become toys for the nobles to amuse themselves until they were battered and exhausted and breathed their last; the rest would be executed.

Now that he has earned a chance to survive through his own efforts, how could he not be excited?

Seeing Theodore's success, the other prisoners couldn't help but feel envious, and some who wanted to replicate it immediately got up.

Before they could even say anything, the prison guards around them used their carbines to smash them back.

"Take him to Sage Dominic. If there are any unusual occurrences along the way, you know what to do."

The two jailers nodded and led Theodore out of the temporary prison.

Seeing the other prisoners eager to try, Xiao Yi lost the will to continue taking them along; one attempt was enough.

He has other important things to do next.

Just as Matthias had guessed, Friedrich could not stand idly by and watch the Chaos followers devour the land that belonged to the Emperor.

So on the third day of the war, he left behind a servo skull containing video recordings, personally informing Xiao Yi of his whereabouts and emphasizing the previously mentioned agreement.

Then, with three Astartes, they attempted to reach the Starport through an unguarded area to contact the Gothic-class cruiser "Mars Explorer" docked there.

If nothing unexpected happens, they should have already left Middle Nest and begun their journey to the space elevator located in Upper Nest.

The Bakda Nest has no navy and relies mainly on various defensive facilities on its starports to defend against threats from space.

If the Gothic-class cruisers docked at Starport act first and take out several key orbital defense cannons before the Starport defenders can react, the entire Starport defense mechanism will be close to collapse.

Then Friedrich can lead the ship's friars to occupy the starport and work with Xiao Yi to pressure the nest and the top of the nest.

However, this carries certain risks. Shangchao is the territory of nobles, and once Friedrich's identity is exposed, he will face endless pursuit.

Even three battle-hardened Astartes could not guarantee their own safety under such circumstances, let alone others.

Therefore, Xiao Yi had to continue to put pressure on the noble coalition, so that they could focus all their attention on him and send more soldiers to the front lines.

Whether it's the garrison of Starport or the private soldiers under the nobility, success is achieved as long as the other side is brought down.

In other words, the greater the pressure on Xiao Yi's side, the less pressure on Friedrich's side.

After the first two victories, the morale of Xiao Yi's army had reached its peak, and their weapons and equipment had also been improved to a certain extent. Under these circumstances, they could withstand more pressure without any problem.

Moreover, if this strong offensive desire generated by consecutive victories is not exhausted, something terrible might happen next.

If Xiao Yi hadn't forcefully suppressed it, some people would have already seized the opportunity to launch a surprise attack and attempt to decapitate the enemy commander.

However, war cannot be started at will; a suitable opportunity must be sought.

Xiao Yi now needs to figure out how to create that opportunity.

Fifteen minutes later, Redmond appeared before Xiao Yi with an elite squad.

Next, they will follow Xiao Yi to the enemy's position to create chaos.

Redmond looked at Xiao Yi, who had already changed his clothes, and slowly leaned close to his ear, whispering, "You can leave this mission to me. If anything goes wrong halfway through, then..."

"No need to say anything more," Xiao Yi interrupted him directly.

Replacing someone else might work, but whether the final result will meet expectations is another matter.

Only the three Astartes from the Blackfire Legion met Xiao Yi's criteria for suitable candidates, but they had more important things to do now.

Since the officer insisted on leading the team himself, Redmond couldn't say anything more. He couldn't very well tie him up, could he?

Putting aside the consequences of doing this, they simply don't have the ability to do it with their numbers.

In the end, Redmond could only sigh helplessly.

"Move out." With Xiao Yi's order, the soldiers began to move toward the enemy camp according to the previous plan.

Oliver, who was at the front line, also launched a tentative attack at this time, both to probe the enemy's strength and to buy time for everyone.

Xiao Yi never intended to infiltrate perfectly, which was quite difficult for soldiers who had never received any professional training.

As long as you can reach a distance of 300 to 400 meters from the target before the enemy discovers you, the remaining incendiary rockets will suffice.

Watching the soldiers pass by, Xiao Yi secretly resolved that once he took over Bakda's Nest, he would definitely take the time to build an elite force capable of carrying out special missions.

Ideally, it should be like Astartes, able to strike straight into the heart of the enemy during war.

The war is relatively small now, so he can personally take to the front lines. But if the entire star system were to be at war, all he could do would be slow down the pace of defeat.

However, building an elite force would require a huge amount of time and resources, and Xiao Yi was not sure if he could sustain it.

Wait, it seems like reviving the Blackfire Legion directly is an option, but the only problem is how to get them to obey my commands?

Forget it, I'll think about this kind of thing when things are over and I have nothing else to do.

The most important thing now is to complete the task at hand.
