Chapter 158: As the Commander, Gerhardt's Personal Guard
[Demon] Force, VEGAN's elite force, all members are above-average X-Rounder users, a total of 16 people.
In VEGAN, they have been trained as elites since childhood, and have always maintained excellent results in training, so they have developed arrogant and domineering personalities and look down on everyone.
They recognize Jehart's MS driving skills and his X-Rounder ability, but Jehart is younger than them, but he is valued by Izelkanda and directly appointed as the commander-in-chief of the attack on the earth, which makes them quite unconvinced.
And Medel Sant, just an old guy who is about to die, is still an inferior species who has not awakened the X field. Even if he has more qualifications than them, they will not look down on him.
"If you have any objections to Lord Izelkanda's appointment, you can ask Lord Izelkanda to remove my position as the commander-in-chief after the battle is over. But now, the battle is about to start. As my subordinates, you must obey my orders. If any of you act on your own and destroy the entire battle plan, resulting in Lord Izelkanda's goal, none of you can bear this responsibility." Gerhardt said sternly.
After the battle in the Reef Universe, Gerhardt also grew up, not in his MS driving skills or X-Rounder ability, but in his awareness as a commander.
As a commander, he carries the lives of the entire army. This is also the truth taught to him by the soldiers who survived in the Reef Universe. He can no longer act according to his own ideas and desires. Ensuring the achievement of combat goals is the only priority.
Therefore, he must have the majesty of being the commander-in-chief. He cannot let the other party act recklessly just because they are excellent, and he cannot allow them to disrupt his battle plan and let more soldiers die innocently.
"What did you say!?"
"Don't think you are so great, you are just..."
The [Demon] troops were furious when they heard this. They were already very unhappy with Gerhardt, and now Gerhardt dared to put on the airs of a commander in front of them, so they immediately gave him a severe lesson.
But Gerhardt's next words made them hold back all their anger, and they could only burn in their hearts.
"If you don't accept my order, don't participate in the battle. Daz, order the maintenance department to lock all their bodies, bring a team of guards to guard them."
"How dare you..."
"I am the commander, I don't allow anyone to act recklessly in my operations, and I don't allow my subordinates to sacrifice because of your unauthorized actions!" Gerhardt shouted.
"You..."
"So... obey my orders, or be locked in the room, choose for yourself." Gerhardt threw the choice in front of them.
"...Tsk, don't think you can be so proud for long, I will keep watching you!"
"I hope you are indeed qualified to be valued by Lord Izelkanda, 'Commander~' Your Excellency."
Although there was no direct answer, the [Demon] troops had chosen to surrender, but...
"Lord Jehart, aren't you too hasty to do this? What if they..."
"I know, but we are about to enter the reconnaissance range of the Earth Federation Army. There is no time to subdue them. The [Demon] troops are also a powerful force and cannot be wasted. If they really don't know what's good for them..." As he said this, Jehart's eyes flashed fiercely under the mask.
Of course, Jehart knew that these arrogant and domineering people would not surrender because of his one or two threats. Although they agreed on the surface, they were still time bombs on the battlefield. It would not be possible to subdue a group of unruly geniuses in a short time, but time and situation did not allow Jehart to take his time.
But this does not mean that Jehart has no means to restrain them.
"Daz, contact the maintenance team and turn on the remote control system on their aircraft."
"This! I know." Daz Roden was shocked and did it immediately. To be on the safe side, he even had to watch the work himself and have someone secretly monitor the [Demon] troops to prevent them from knowing about this matter in advance.
It must be said that his idea coincided with Gerhardt's idea. Daz Roden was Gerhardt's old subordinate, and he knew what to do without being told too clearly.
"Commander Gerhardt, will this be too..." Medel Sant was worried that the [Demon] troops would make more trouble when they found out. If it was not handled properly, the entire army would fall apart.
"Don't worry, I know my limits."
"Since you know, then let's do it."
Medel Sant was a little worried about the consequences of Gerhardt's move. He naturally hoped that the group of young people in the [Demon] troops who didn't know how to respect the elderly and predecessors would suffer a little, but he was more concerned about the stability of the entire army and whether Izelkanda's plan could be achieved.
But since Gerhardt knew his limits, he couldn't persuade him.
At this moment, the door of the bridge opened again, and three people wearing different uniforms from the [Demon] troops walked in and saluted Gerhardt.
"The [Demon] Guards report to you, Commander Gerhardt."
"Guards? Are you also members of the [Demon] Army?" Hearing this, Gerhard and Medel Sander frowned. They had received advance notice of the arrival of the [Demon] Army, but they had no news of the Guards that appeared now. The word "Guards" was particularly sensitive. The Guards were someone's private army. No one except that person had the right to give them orders.
"Excuse me, Commander Gerhardt. The [Demon] Guards were specially formed for you by Lord Izelkanda. I am the captain, Dor Frost."
"Same as above, team member Ofa Fadian."
"Same as above, team member Dieter Lance."
"My troops?"
"Yes, the [Demon] Guards were specially formed by Lord Izelkanda to protect you. Lord Izelkanda has always known that you have fought with the Death God of the Federation and encountered danger. So in order to protect your safety from the hands of the Death God, Lord Izelkanda specially pulled the three of us out of the [Demon] troops to form your guards. From now on, the three of us will only accept your orders." Dor Frost replied.
"Lord Izelkanda..." Although Jehart's idea was different from Izelkanda's goal, he was still moved, "I know, you go down first."
"Yes." X3
After the three left, Medel Sant put down a big stone in his heart and said to Jehart: "It seems that Lord Izelkanda really values you, Jehart, as a commander, you are the pillar of the entire army, you must not act rashly."
"Well, Lord Izelkanda's kindness must be remembered in my heart. Now... let's focus on the battle in front of us."
"Yes."
Medel Sant glanced at Jehart's back meaningfully. He knew Jehart. If the [Tenjin] Brigade appeared on the battlefield, Jehart would definitely drive [Jedra] to attack with his personality. He also knew that Jehart at this time would be more useful to be on the front line than to stay on the bridge and command remotely. Not only could he make more accurate judgments on the front line of the battlefield, but he was also a force that could not be ignored.
"Alas, I am old, but I still have to keep warming up." Medel Sant thought, "In that case, let me help you take up the post of commander, Gerhart, don't let Lord Izelkanda down."
...
After Dor Frost and the other two left the bridge, Os Fadian whispered to Dor Frost: "Captain, what do you think of Commander Gerhart?"
"What do you think?" Dor Frost asked the two in return.
"Too young." Os Fadian shook his head.
"Well, judging from his information, his MS driving skills and X-Rounder abilities are both very good, but combat command... Excuse me, Captain, even if Commander Gerhart is really a genius, combat command is not something that can be achieved overnight, and it requires a lot of practical command experience to settle." Dieter Lance analyzed rationally.
"Well, you are right, but since Lord Izelkanda has arranged it this way, Commander Jehart has better special equipment, and our mission is only to protect Commander Jehart's safety, we don't need to worry about the rest." Dor Frost said.
"Yes."
"I understand."
Although the people of the [Demon] Army also disagreed with Jehart's command ability, it was obvious that the three members of the Royal Guards were much calmer. They were still proud in their hearts, but they were more mature and stable in their dealings with others, and they also understood what to do and when to do it.
...
The VEGAN fleet is about to enter the reconnaissance range of the [Giant Ring] base, and the federal army has also arranged the defense line according to Fleet's instructions. In at most an hour, the battle will begin, and both sides are now conducting the final war mobilization.
"This [Giant Ring] base is the gateway for our Earth Federation Army to defend the Earth. If it is captured, the Earth will easily fall into their clutches. VEGAN, who is planning the attack, will mobilize a large number of troops. We will also try our best to deploy troops to defend here. The battle will be unprecedentedly fierce, but I believe in your courage and the dignity of being an Earth Federation Army. I wish you all good luck!"
"Yes!" XN
...
"Glorious VEGAN warriors! Now, let us liberate the Earth imprisoned by the Devil's Ring and launch a general attack on the Earth Federation Army's headquarters-the [Giant Ring] base!"
"Oh~!!"
No matter which side, a pre-war mobilization will unprecedentedly mobilize the morale of the troops. The Earth Federation Army wants to protect their homeland, and VEGAN wants to defeat the Earthlings who abandoned them and then return to their homeland.
Fleet is right. The collision between the two armies will be unprecedentedly fierce. Which side can achieve its goal? How many people will sleep forever in the silent cosmic cemetery for their respective goals?
