Chapter 615: The Original Sin of the Torch Warrior

Chapter 615: The Original Sin of the Torch Warrior
Lacroxia was very calm as he put on his equipment one by one.

Although they now have only a small number of people, they are already in the enemy's core world of Aramita. Their next task is to eliminate key figures and capture important places behind enemy lines, which is extremely dangerous.

But he really had nothing to worry about.

This was not the most dangerous battle he had ever faced.

Besides, he always remained calm even in the most dangerous battles.

However, he could sense that the big guy next to him was a little nervous.

Even Captain Moretti's breathing was heavy.

After thinking for a while, Lacroxia finally spoke: "Don't be too nervous, it will only make things worse."

The young chapter leader turned his head and looked at Lakrosa, who was not even as tall as his belly, without any contempt on his face.

How dare you look down on him? This fifty-year-old veteran, though only a mortal, has a very wide reputation in the Alliance. He is a hero of the Alliance who has fought bravely with the Governor since he was in Angry Owl Star, and has made great achievements on many battlefields.

The Glory Guards Corps, which evolved from the '10th Special Operations Brigade' of that year, is also an elite mortal force built based on him.

Although Lacroxia was unwilling to take on the responsibility of command and leadership, and the Grand Commander of the Glory Guards was someone else, there was no doubt that he was the most famous guard warrior, who was given the title of "Chief".

Even during the establishment of the New World Torch, when 800 new recruits had just completed implantation surgery and were undergoing intensive training, Lakrossia served as their instructor for a month!
Now, even though he has grown all his superhuman organs and is still the most outstanding warrior among the alliance of the 800 New World Torch, and was chosen by Governor Gu to be the commander of the chapter, he still needs to respect Lakrosa.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

There is some effect, but not much.

Lacroxia thought for a moment and asked, "Just tell me, why do you feel nervous? This is just a battle. According to the lifespan of you Space Marines, you will face countless battles like this in the future."

"But this time is different!" Moretti emphasized, "This is my first important battle as a commander, and also the first battle after the New World Torch was reborn..."

"No, you have already fought for the alliance before."

La Crosha was referring to some ground battles after entering the Alfonzo star field, in which the New World Torch took action.

"But that's different! Those battles can't be considered battles at all... that..."

"Every battle is important, keep your mind calm."

Moretti was silent for a while, then he let out a long breath and said, "Instructor Lacroxia, what you said certainly makes sense. But... you don't understand."

At this point, Lacroxia could see Moretti gritting his teeth. "You really don't understand. We, the New World Torches, are born with original sin. Our ancestors committed great crimes, betrayed the Empire, became enemies of the Alliance, and even betrayed our allies on the battlefield many times... A sentence of a hundred years of atonement expedition is too light in my opinion!"

"Don't be afraid of your laughing at me. In the regiment, many battle brothers have actually complained about why we didn't join the Phoenix. We are all children of the Alliance, and we grew up under the rule of Governor Gu. We have all shown excellent levels and are always looking forward to being loyal to the Governor. However, when we could serve the Alliance and the Governor, we were assigned to a regiment full of sins, and we were born without any honor..."

"But I won't say it's unfair. This is our choice. It's a great honor to become a Space Marine and serve the Emperor and the Alliance forever."

"All we can do is to use more achievements and more loyalty to prove to the world that New World Torch has completely cut ties with the past. I will use my unquestionable achievements to shut everyone up!"

"How can those small-scale battles be enough? Anyone can do it. Sending the Glory Guards or even the special forces in the army can solve the problem. They sent us out just because we were newly established and they wanted to find some targets and train their troops... but this is not what we want."

"It's Aramita. We know that this battle is very dangerous, and many people may die here. However, each of us is fully aware of this! Some shame can only be washed away with achievements gained through blood!"

"Do you know how important this operation is to us now? We must not fail, absolutely not!" Lacroxia nodded slightly, then shook his head and said, "I understand. But what I want to say is that although I don't quite understand your concept of honor, there is a basic fact: the less you can adjust your current state, the greater the probability of our failure. You are the commander-in-chief, now think carefully about how to fight the battle, figure out every detail, and don't think about things like meaning, value, merit, and shame."

He said this with all his heart.

Lacroxia has always been such a pure soldier.

Moretti nodded, but the situation didn't actually improve.

Lacroxia added: "You can go find Wang Mengsong and ask for some advice."

In this regard, Moretti was firm in his attitude: "No, absolutely not! He is a sinner, the one who brought the New World Torch into the abyss. The fact that he can live in the Penitentiary Camp and shed his last drop of blood for the Emperor is already an extra reward from the Governor. His opinion will not have any value!"

Moretti had no intention of giving in.

Lacroxia didn't persuade him any more, and said, "Well, tell me your plan from beginning to end."

"Will you help me with the corrections?"

"I don't have that ability." Lacroxia said, "It's just that if you say it a few more times, maybe you can find some problems that you missed before."

"What if I can't find it?"

"That means there is no problem. You are the best." Lacroxia said this in a dry tone, which seemed very special with his expressionless face.

"Hahaha……"

Moretti laughed softly. Although he was treated half-sarcastically and half-perfunctorily, he felt that his mood unexpectedly improved.

He really began to do as Lacroxia said, and explained the plan one by one.

Talk and think at the same time.

Lacroix is ​​just the most silent listener here.

Before I knew it, the time had come.

"Then take action."

Moretti's tension had reached its peak, but no matter what, the arrow was on the string.

He closed his eyes and issued an order for the entire army to move.

He was the first one to rush out and get into an armored vehicle.

The armored vehicles moved out, and soon the entire convoy was driving on the road in the core industrial production area of ​​the Aramita Foundry World.

Their target, the newly appointed General Aramita Foundry, had just finished inspecting the industrial zone and was on his way out.

According to intelligence, it will take about 15 minutes of driving on the ground until it leaves the industrial area with a large roof, and then the hovercraft can take off.

And this is the time window for them to act.
