Chapter 158 The Death Legion Feels Tricked
Compared to being in a huge space ship, Lin Heng certainly prefers to stay on the planet.
Even if you can only live in a corner, at least the sky is high and the land is vast, and you will feel better looking at the blue sky and white clouds.
After sailing in the warp for 120 Terra hours, the relatively clumsy black ship finally arrived at the Isnora system.
This star is located in the upper left corner of the Storm Star Region star map. Of course, if the star map is rotated, it will become the upper right corner.
But Lin Heng didn't care about these. He just wanted to leave this damn place as soon as possible. Belvis hated him so much that he wanted to see through him when he saw him.
Fortunately, the Grey Knight was not with Belvis at the time, otherwise a group of crazy people would have tortured him again.
"What's the current situation of the planet you transferred me to?" Lin Heng asked.
“Since you said that there are a large number of orcs on the planet where Vulkan is, our countermeasure is to attack the planet occupied by the orcs.
On the planet Isnora, a large number of urban areas have been occupied by orcs, and you will then follow the Krieg Death Legion to launch an attack.
You can discuss the specific matters with those generals when the time comes."
Lin Heng nodded, and then packed his equipment, including Vulkan's armor and sword, and the plasma pistol he got from Governor Ao Qing.
In addition, there was a set of fine full-body armor that Sage Claire had sent over two days ago. Although it was a bit thin, it just met Lin Heng's expectations.
It doesn't look bulky when worn under the political commissar's coat. Although Lin Heng already has various means to resist gunfire, it is better to be cautious.
After all, who knows what kind of monsters and demons the next enemy you meet will be.
When the time came, Lin Heng took a transport ship to the Isnora galaxy.
After several hours of bumpy ride, we passed through the asteroid belt surrounded by meteorites and looked at the clearly distinct two-colored planet.
Lin Heng couldn't help but sigh, thinking that the days from now might be another day of overcoming difficulties.
I just hope that this legion will be easy to talk to and allow him to stay on this planet for a few more days.
When the transport ship docked steadily on the helipad, Lin Heng got off the ship and took a deep breath, feeling the fresh air.
Everything was so refreshing. If it had not been told in advance that there were orcs on this planet, Lin Heng would have come here with the mood of a vacation.
But soon the rumbling of tanks emitting black smoke broke the beauty. Unlike usual, there was not a single soldier waiting to greet his political commissar.
Lin Heng looked at the busy airport. A large number of Star Army soldiers were preparing to board the plane, and their condition was not good.
Most people's armor had various damages, and there were a large number of wounded who were bandaged very tightly. It seemed that the situation on the battlefield was not very good.
A hundred-meter-long transport ship slowly landed on the apron. When the hatch opened, all the Astra Militarum soldiers looked at the newcomers.
They exclaimed and started whispering to each other. Lin Heng looked in the direction of their fingers.
Standard Krieg Death Korps infantry unit
The troops marched forward in a formation as neat as a military parade. They wore the same thick coats. They looked more like soldiers from World War I or World War II than from the future.
Wearing an identical gas mask and carrying a laser rifle, he walked towards us silently.
They did not whisper to each other like the other Astra Militarum soldiers, but just looked forward.
If you remove the clanging sound of its walking, it might really seem like a silent species.
There were no legion symbols on their bodies, or perhaps their appearance was enough to reveal their situation.
Lin Heng went forward to look for officers with badges, but apart from the soldiers wearing coats and walking silently, he did not see a single officer.
Lin Heng observed several transport ships in a row and found that the situation was the same.
Finally he stopped a jeep, and the only person sitting in it was a Krieg soldier with a slightly different coat.
"Hello soldier, I am the newly assigned political commissar of the 358th Regiment. Are you delivering supplies to the regiment headquarters?"
Lin Heng tried his best to appear amiable and easy to talk to.
But the other party just turned his masked face towards him and replied very concisely and clearly.
"Yes."
"Oh, that's great, can you take me there?"
"can."
Is this person so aloof? I am the political commissar. Shouldn't there be two types of communication?
One is flattery; the other is disdain. How come it becomes...oh in your case?
Lin Hengquan thought that there were all kinds of birds in the world, so he sat in the passenger seat of the car and followed the other party out of the airport.
Apart from the sound of the vehicle bumping up and down along the way, Lin Heng felt as if he was sitting next to a dead person. This was quite different from his previous experience as a political commissar.
I wanted to get to know the legion's situation from this person, but I didn't expect that he would be ignored.
Looking back at the transported goods, which were similar in model to the walkie-talkies he had seen in the Star Army, Lin Heng immediately thought of the topic.
"Are you the quartermaster?"
"Yes, Commissar."
"So what are the options for equipment you provide for the commissar?"
"We will give you the best gas masks, matching coats and armor that fits you well.
You can choose between a chainsword and a power sword, and there are three pistols to choose from: a bolt gun, a laser gun, and a plasma gun."
The soldier fell silent after he finished speaking, just like a talking list, and he would not say anything else that was not on the paper.
"Thank you..Oh, your name is..."
Lin Heng asked the quartermaster, who just glanced at him quickly, then looked straight ahead and said indifferently:
"The quartermaster of the 358th Regiment."
Well, you sit down, Lin Heng thought. I just arrived and I saw such a bad guy. What if all the Krieg people are like this? It would be suffocating to be with them.
"call."
Letting out a deep breath and looking at the Krieg soldiers marching on the road, Lin Heng felt that leaving the Black Ship might not be a good thing.
After wandering around for nearly two hours, Lin Heng finally arrived at the regiment headquarters. Since he could not communicate with the opponent's quartermaster, he could only find company-level officers.
But when he opened the tent, he found that there was no one inside except some documents on the table.
Lin Heng walked in the camp and found that there were very few soldiers. There were only a hundred soldiers cleaning the huge camp.
"Is this the camp? Didn't they send me a kitchen?"
Lin Heng was a little confused. This was quite different from his impression of the Star Realm military camp, so he stepped forward to ask a soldier.
The other party also said very concisely:
"Officers at all levels are inspecting the front lines."
"Oh, okay, where is the front line?"
The soldier then pointed in a certain direction, and Lin Heng wondered whether he should find the quartermaster and ask him to give him a ride.
But thinking back on what had just happened, he shook his head and let it go.
"Thank you soldier...what's your name?"
The soldier looked at Lin Heng, and Lin Heng didn't know what the other person's expression was under the opaque lens of the mask.
"My name is Krieger, Commissar."
Lin Heng pursed his lips and nodded. He understood that Belvis had tricked him and was just making him suffer.
This legion is different from other Astra Militarum legions. These people are simply a bunch of dead people with no emotional intelligence.
Even for those who hate the political commissar, at least the face-saving project is acceptable, but this group of people... it seems like nothing can interest them.
So Lin Heng had to walk for two hours to reach the front line, and when he confirmed the authenticity of what was happening before his eyes, he had a new perspective on this group of soldiers.
Everyone was wielding engineering shovels and digging trenches, and a large amount of earth and rocks were piled on the ground.
Lin Heng looked around and couldn't even see the two ends of the trench, and the front was full of gullies.
Right on the mound in the front stood a dozen Kriegs wearing wide-brimmed hats.
The Kriegs don't like medals, believing that they have no value, so the only way to distinguish them is by clothing, because they never take off their gas masks.
They were holding maps and discussing something. If Lin Heng guessed correctly, they might be officers of the 358th Regiment.
Lin Heng crossed over layers of trenches and came in front of the crowd, among whom was actually an officer of the Star Army.
The other party seemed very surprised to see Lin Heng coming. The playful expression on his face made Lin Heng more certain that Belvis had tricked him.
"Lin Heng, the newly transferred political commissar, I presume you are all officers of the 358th Regiment of Krieg."
Lin Heng saw that they were all wearing gas masks, with no skin exposed at all.
They all looked at themselves, not knowing who was speaking.
"Hello, Political Commissar. I am the commander of the 358th Regiment of the Krieg Death Corps. Please call me Colonel ." said one of the officers.
Lin Heng noticed that the other person was somewhat different from the other soldiers, except that his coat was more refined.
The riding boots on his feet reached his knees, and the breastplate on his body also had some exquisite patterns.
A Skyhawk helmet and a slightly decorated cape. Unfortunately, the other person's face could not be seen.

Although Lin Heng wanted to use his astral vision to see what they looked like, he always felt that this behavior was a bit like voyeurism, so he thought about it and gave up.
At least they could still tell each other apart, but the names were still confusing.
"Um.. hello Colonel 358, is there anything I need to know now?"
"Of course, Political Commissar. Thirty kilometers away is the city area occupied by the Orcs, who have transformed it into a base.
They set up defense lines, restarted the foundry's production line, and made the positions impregnable.
Previous Astra Militarum legions have attempted siege warfare, but suffered heavy casualties, as you must have seen on your way here.
But we are Krieg, and siege warfare is our forte. After digging trenches and waiting for the troops to gather.
The team will then launch a siege, and the commissar will be able to see the fearless side of the Kriegs.
You can see how strong their faith in the Emperor is."
Lin Heng nodded and left the officer line, walking towards the Star Army officer who was still snickering.
"I think what you're going to say next might make me understand something."
