Chapter 656: Not a traitor?
"Report, Major."
Akanji's throat moved and he looked a little nervous.
The person in front of him was a Space Marine, and he should show respect to him. However, looking at the paint on his body, he didn't know what to say.
That Space Marine with a white main body and green paint.
From the paint job, Akanji could recognize that they were from the Spear of the Dragon King.
He knew this regiment not because of how famous the Dragon King's Spear was, but because before he joined the expeditionary force and set out, during the internal officer training, they mentioned the enemies they would face on this expedition. The focus of this training was of course the mention of the various rebel regiments in the rebellion.
Iron Armor is the top priority, but other traitor chapters also need attention.
Such as Stone Shield, Raging Flame, New World Torch... Akangji has seen and learned all their paint schemes, just to make sure he wouldn't make the mistake if he met them on the battlefield.
Isn't this 'Spear of the Dragon King' painted in white and green one of the traitor chapters?
If they encounter them on the battlefield, they should open fire at full power to stop these Space Marines and not let them enter the defense line.
But... they came under the banner of the alliance.
From the observatory, Akangi's technical specialist saw that the ships flying the Alliance flag were cooperating with Changqi Star's orbital defense system to attack the Iron Armor fleet. Good results have been achieved so far. At least the originally shaky orbital defense system can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
In addition, many landing spacecraft flew out from the alliance ships and entered the star ports and star fortresses as reinforcements.
When Akanji heard the news, he was of course very happy. He was almost doomed, and if some reinforcements could come, it would really save his life.
However, he never expected that what was coming was the Spear of the Dragon King.
At first, he thought that the reinforcements had not arrived yet and the powerful enemy had arrived first.
With only 200 men left, Akanji felt doomed. The three Dragon King Spears alone could kill all his troops, not to mention that the Space Marines were accompanied by two fully staffed infantry battalions.
He was prepared to die on the battlefield, but the subsequent changes in events surprised him a little.
The scouts reported that the three warriors of the Dragon King's Spear, with their troops, cleared all the insects they encountered around them.
At the same time, there is another detail.
The Space Marines are wrapped in armor and cannot be seen clearly, but the ordinary soldiers next to them, although they are certainly fully wrapped in armor in space battles, but judging from their body shapes, they are normal humans, unlike the infected who have extremely exaggerated deformities.
That is why when they said they came on behalf of the alliance, Akanji believed it a little.
Of course, the most important reason why he let the other party in was... he couldn't be stopped.
It would be better to take a gamble that it is reinforcements.
So, he not only let these people in, but also reported what he knew at the request of the leading Space Marine officer.
Then he looked at the other person anxiously again.
Until now, they still couldn't rule out the possibility that they were enemies. They might have come to steal their intelligence and then kill all the remaining people.
But he made the right bet.
The worst did not happen.
The Space Marine nodded slightly, then called over another commander from his side, who, judging by his rank, was also a major.
After a conversation, the major stepped forward and saluted Akanji: "I am Major Li Guojin of the 8th Regiment of the 277th Division of the 6th Alliance Army Group. We decided to follow the intelligence you provided and see what the direction of support was like for the Ortopis warrior who took your troops away. However, your defense line here also looks precarious. I will leave you a combat battalion, and they will obey your orders. I hope you can hold on."
Akanji was stunned for a moment, and then he was filled with great surprise!
He thanked them again and again, but the Space Marines and Major Li Guojin did not talk to him any more. Time was short and the mission was heavy, so they had to go to support as soon as possible.
Akanji watched them leave, then looked at the enemy's remaining combat battalion, which was actually more numerous than his current living subordinates, and felt a little overwhelmed.
It's not just about reinforcements, even the style of work is different.
With the addition of this new force, his strength was once again close to one thousand.
However, he would not be so reckless as to command these friendly forces. Although the other side only had a captain battalion commander, the current situations of the two sides were very different after all.
Working together and keeping the place safe is Akanji’s greatest wish.
…
"Captain."
The captain of the 4th Company of the Dragon King's Spear, Riccardo Lazio, who strode over, was in charge of this operation.
His company, boarding a fast strike cruiser and bringing with it eight other small and medium-sized warships, arrived at Changqi Star as the vanguard of the entire army. It was the most critical moment for the entire planet.
They immediately threw themselves into the battle. Not only did they have a fleet outside, but they also attacked the armored warships from both sides together with the planetary orbital system. At the same time, they also deployed troops to the star port to relieve the pressure inside.
But it’s a bit ridiculous...
"The Changqi Star side is still constantly asking us to prove our identities." The mortal liaison officer spoke with a somewhat annoyed tone.
It's normal. It's already this time, why are you still arguing about it?
When they arrived near the galaxy, they took great pains and finally managed to get in touch with the command center on Changqi Star.
However, a general of the Sun Legion who was in charge of the war command and a non-commissioned officer of the Ortopis Regiment were very suspicious of them.
On the one hand, although the Spear of the Dragon King didn't do anything "bad", they were part of the rebels before. Now they say they followed the Alliance and came to support. Isn't it normal that they don't believe it?
On the other hand, the alliance was so far away, but it suddenly arrived in the Baimu Star Region, which was a bit unbelievable.
Lazio waved his hand and said, "It's normal for them to have doubts. After all, we acted too quickly. Moreover, we are the only ones present at the moment. Most of the regiment, including the main force led by Captain Martins, are still on their way."
"We have to forgive them and move on."
As he spoke, he held out an electronic file board.
The contact took it in his hand and his pupils shrank: "This is..."
"On the other hand, we have contacted the commander of the Salilius Chapter. On behalf of the Ortaupis Chapter and the entire Western Front Legion, he welcomed us and ordered all the imperial troops and Ortaupis warriors on Changqi Star to cooperate with our actions."
"Now, convey the order and encrypted documents to Changqi Star. Next, I will take over the battle of Changqi Star. Let those dirty iron armor liars go to hell!"
