Chapter 144: The Back and the Front

The battle was in full swing in the front, and the regiment was annihilated in hours. Lin Fan and his men found a place to rest in the huge and wide orc industrial zone in the back.

Under Joseph's shocked gaze, Lin Fan casually opened an explosion-proof door and entered it. The soldiers of the third company were not at all strange, as they had long been accustomed to it.

Swallowing his saliva, Joseph asked a soldier of the third company: "Your captain is really too powerful. I have never seen anyone open an industrial explosion-proof door with bare hands."

The soldier who was questioned snorted disdainfully, "You haven't seen our captain fight yet, have you seen that orc can?"

The soldier pointed at the King Kong operated by Diliya, who was repairing the damage on the King Kong and the lightning launcher on the side of his head.

"Do you know how that thing was captured? Our invincible captain killed all the orcs in front of him, jumped onto the can, tore it apart, and crushed the orcs inside like chickens." The soldiers were very proud of Lin Fan's great achievements, and they were very fanatical.

"The captain is not only fierce in battle, but also gentle. He is not like some political commissars or lonely veterans who always have a cold face. The captain understands a lot of great principles and teaches us how to be a man."

Joseph listened to the introduction of Lin Fan by the soldiers of the third company and nodded from time to time.

Lin Fan opened the explosion-proof door and walked in. It looked like a warehouse for storing dangerous and explosive items, but there was nothing inside now. Either new goods had not been received yet, or they had been emptied.

This hidden place was detected by Xiaoyi, so that Lin Fan and his men would have a place to rest at night. They were not space warriors and could not learn from those supermen to stay awake for nights.

A few soldiers were left to guard the door, alerting the surrounding situation, but this was just a pretense. If something really came, Xiaoyi would be the first to remind Lin Fan.

"It was really difficult. We encountered the orcs' Titan just after we came out. If it weren't for the captain and priest Dilia, we would have been finished long ago." Old Jock tore open a bag of military rations with his teeth.

Throw the dehydrated blocks into a jar of water, waiting for it to be soaked in hot water and turned into a thick soup.

Then he took out a few nutrition bars and gave one to Lin Fan and one to Domian.

Everyone sat in the warehouse in groups of three or two, making a fire and eating.

As for Joseph and other people who had just been recruited, Lin Fan had called a drill truck just now, took out the supplies and backup weapons inside, and asked him to go back for supplies.

Annie looked at the bag of military rations in her hand. This was the first time she had eaten something decent since she became a slave. She was a little excited, and her hands were shaking as she grabbed the bag. She wanted to tear it open but couldn't do it.

"Let me do it." Joseph's voice came from the side. He took the bag from Annie's hand, tore it open, and distributed the dehydrated soup and nutrition bars inside.

Don't look at the small size of this nutrition bar, but the nutrition and calories contained in it are enough to sustain a person's daily needs. Combined with dehydrated soup and purified water, it is enough to fill your stomach.

"Thank you." Annie held the nutrition bar in her hand, tore open the package, and smelled a faint sweet fragrance, which made her appetite open, and the hunger from her abdomen became more obvious.

Everyone was concentrating on solving the nutrition bars in their hands, and waiting for the dehydrated soup to be cooked.

Lin Fan chewed a nutrition bar and looked at the soldiers around him. They didn't have the stiff faces of enduring nausea as before, but cherished the food in their hands.

These peach-flavored nutrition bars tasted good. Although the fragrance of the fruit was just imitated, it was an extremely precious treasure for those who had never seen fresh fruit in their lives.

He could even see a few soldiers who were not from the agricultural world of Cammarklan crying while eating nutrition bars.

This was good, because food obviously improved morale. Everyone could tolerate eating bad food for one or two days, but once this time was extended to a year or even several years.

Bad food would only torture the morale of the soldiers.

Although this was not a problem for the Kriegs of the Death Corps, most of the soldiers recruited by the Empire were normal people. We couldn't make everyone inhuman just because a few of them were inhuman.

For the officials of the Military Affairs Department, this was very easy, but for the soldiers struggling in the trenches on the front line, it was a painful torture.

"Ah, this reminds me of the rebels I saw at the beginning, those who resisted the crazy machines." Xiaoyi recalled the past with a sigh. She was very relaxed now. Lin Fan hadn't felt the clothes tighten for a while.

"It was the same back then. A group of young people who were passionate about the stars. They were also eating hot pot and singing in such a difficult environment."

"Then what?"

"Then they were discovered to be a heat source by the super surveillance system installed on the stars in the galaxy. A burst of extracted star fragments traveled through billions of kilometers and directly turned them into steam."

"."

Xiao Yi stopped talking, as if she was lost in memories of the past.

After finishing his meal, Lin Fan called Joseph and Old Jock over, "Take a good rest. Tomorrow we will try to move towards the Titan Fall Basin. The headquarters has always been vigilant about the industrial zone built by the orcs on the Titan ruins, but in order not to destroy the Emperor's sacred creation, we need to see what the orcs are doing, and then establish a signal point so that the fleet can directly and accurately smash the troops down."

"This job sounds like what the angels should do. Can we really get in? You know, how many orcs we can encounter along the way is completely unknown."

Lin Fan smiled, "If it was before, we would definitely not be able to do it. At most, we would sabotage behind enemy lines with Joseph and his people to attract the attention of the orcs. But now, we have the orc titan controlled by Priest Delia"

"Oh! That's it!" Old Jock understood what Lin Fan meant. They had to use the disguise of the orc titan to sneak in and create chaos and destruction inside.

"Can that thing hold so many people?" Joseph was a little worried. The soldiers of the third company plus the newly recruited slaves totaled more than 400 people. Although the orcish King Kong looked like it had a big belly and could hold a lot of people, it still felt a little short.

Unless everyone was stacked up like goods on a shelf.

"Well, I'll have to continue to wrong you."

Lin Fan gave Joseph an apologetic smile.

The conversation between the Emperor and the head of the Mechanicus when they met.
