In fact, Alvin had tried to dissuade the Commissar.

However, he keenly gleaned a message from the other party's weary response.

That is... it can't be stopped!

Unlike many Astra Militarum legions, the Commissar of the Death Korps of Krieg often have this special mission.

That is to do everything in our power to prevent Krieg's soldiers from sacrificing themselves on unnecessary battlefields.

It's hard to imagine that Imperium that has always been ruthless would make such a "humane" decision. However, this is actually because the Krieg soldiers are so "loyal" that they never consider the concept of sacrifice.

As long as we can complete the mission and capture trenches and positions, even if it's just a useless stronghold, we will spare no effort and sacrifice!

To describe the Krieg's fighting style in the simplest two words, it would be: fanaticism and silence!

Even if it costs 50,000 or 100,000 lives, as long as the battle can be won, they will not hesitate for a moment, and will even think it is worth it!

Krieg's fighting style is outrageously simple.

But equally, it is extremely efficient.

The grenadiers threw high-explosive grenades, waited for the enemy to approach, and fired under the cover of the trenches.

Then, the commander, also wearing Gas Mask, made a simple gesture, and the Krieg soldiers lying in ambush in the trenches would load their bayonets, wait for the smoke grenades to be fired, and after three whistles and the sounding of horns, they would rush out of the trenches.

Laser gun, bayonet, Entrenching Tool, High-explosive grenade —this appears to be the complete equipment of a Krieg soldier.

Yet this simple equipment unleashed a terrifying power that would shock even the Transformers.

Optimus Prime witnessed a Krieg soldier being devoured by the Terra Insectoid, half of his body being consumed. His Gas Mask shattered, revealing an extremely youthful face, seemingly only nineteen years old, with pale skin. Yet, there was no trace of fear of death in his eyes.

The masked Krieg boy pulled the pin on High-explosive grenade at his waist as the Terra Insectoid devoured his body.

With a deafening roar, he perished along with the Tyran Rex.

This scene was happening all over the battlefield every moment. It seemed that as long as the Krieg were not completely killed, as long as they had a breath left, they would do their best to achieve a one-for-one exchange, or even a ten-for-one exchange!

As the battle raged on the ground, the fighting in the sky gradually intensified.

Despite the Terra fleet's relentless bombardment, it could not stop the Death Korps of Krieg's relentless airborne assault, and more and more Krieg soldiers landed on the battlefield!

That's insane!

The Krieg Death Korps actually broke through the Terra fleet's blockade!

Then, after the artillery deployment was completed, the Krieg soldiers finally got to their "comfort zone".

Amidst the continuous artillery barrage, a silent, deadly charge began. Neither the artillerymen in the rear nor the soldiers charging ahead seemed to care whether the shells would accidentally harm friendly forces.

This is... way too outrageous.

As a silicon-based Transformers, Krieg's unique, silent death charge deeply shocked me.

From beginning to end, the soldiers wearing Gas Mask did not exchange a single word with each other, as if it were an instinct etched into their very bones.

Despite being human, this legion unleashed a level of combat power that even the Transformers couldn't help but be shocked.

The first wave of Death Korps of Krieg that successfully landed in Pertita numbered only around 40,000 to 50,000, but with their high efficiency and fervent morale, they managed to hold off the almost frenzied onslaught of millions of Tyranid Swarm!

It was a defensive line that seemed precarious, as if it could be breached with the slightest effort.

However, despite the fierce attack of hundreds of Terra Insectoid, they still held their ground!

Even with severed limbs, as long as they could still move and had a breath left, Krieg's soldiers would still try to kill a Tyranid Swarm.

The Transformers and the Holy Terra Auxiliary Forces are as green as raw recruits compared to the true elite of the Astra Militarum!

Even setting aside Krieg's fanatical morale, Alvin was amazed by Alvin's tactical skill in fighting against overwhelming odds and holding his own against Tyran.

When the Decepticons and Krieg artillery worked together to completely clear the sky, allowing the Death Korps of Krieg to catch their breath, Alvin finally met Kevin Leslie, the regimental Commissar.

"Count Alvin, Kevin Leslie, is here by the highest order of the Departmento Munitorum to reinforce Pertita!"

Colonel Kevin looked very tired, and there was always a deep sorrow between his brows.

"Thank you for your support. May the Emperor bless you, Colonel Kevin." Alvin could finally breathe a sigh of relief. With the Krieg Death Korps around, he could at least be a little more at ease for the time being.

After a hasty greeting, Commissar Kevin immediately went to the front lines, not to command the battle, but simply to minimize the number of Krieg soldiers who died, especially to prevent them from dying in unnecessary places.

This is no exaggeration; if it hadn't been stopped in time, the Krieg soldiers would have suffered casualties many times, even dozens of times, greater.

Fight for every inch of ground!

In war, not every position requires such heavy casualties to capture.

This is precisely the main job of the Commissar of the Krieg Regiment. Unlike other Astra Militarum Legion, they sometimes need to boost morale and execute deserters.

In Krieg, there are no deserters and very few instances of morale collapse. Their main job is to ensure that the Krieg soldiers dedicate their lives to more appropriate causes.

When Kevin arrived at the front lines, he saw Optimus Prime resting. Half of its body was smashed, and it was lying in the trench receiving repairs from medical equipment.

"You—are they their commander?" Optimus Prime looked at the human. From the epaulets, it was easy to tell that he was a high-ranking officer of this legion.

"..-yes."

Despite Kevin's great doubts about Optimus Prime's existence, he wisely chose not to delve into it, adhering to the principle that it's better to avoid trouble.

After all, he believed that the person behind Alvin was someone he couldn't afford to offend—someone who could command the Department of the Munitorum to issue an order to rush to his aid at all costs.

"Why... not retreat temporarily?"

In the silence, Optimus Prime looked at Krieg, who was still charging forward, and asked the question in a heavy tone.

It is the only leader in the Transformers who is relatively fond of humans, but after seeing Krieg charge forward at great cost and with extremely high efficiency, it is filled with confusion and heartache.

From the commander's perspective, a temporary retreat and preservation of manpower would be the most appropriate decision given the current situation, but this "Krieg Death Korps" gave it a completely different feeling.

They are more ruthless, more efficient, and more decisive than mechanical soldiers; they are more like "machines" in their own right.

Each person is like a precise gear in a complex machine. Through their cooperation, this terrifying War Machine can unleash its maximum power and ruthlessly crush any enemy that dares to stand in its way!

However, the only response Optimus Prime received was a single sentence from Kevin Leslie, a sentence that was both complex and incomprehensible.

"This is the Krieg Death Korps."

"To be born a disgrace is to die a peaceful death."
