The Cursed Unit
Sitting in the military vehicle, the Lieutenant Colonel Loa Loya seemed very relaxed, and the Marley Soldiers driving the vehicle couldn't help but glance back at Loa every now and then.
Touching the scar on his face, Loa, or rather, Yago who was using Loa's identity, remained calm. If you looked closely at Yago's face now, you would find that it had changed a lot. Based on Loa's face, some facial muscles had also undergone subtle changes.
All of this is thanks to the War Hammer Titan Power. You see, the War Hammer Titan's white skin is also a special kind of Hardening. Therefore, the War Hammer Titan can not only use Hardening to create various weapons, but also manipulate the softened Hardening.
Yago used that special Hardening to subtly alter his appearance, essentially putting on a human skin mask, which allowed Yago to successfully infiltrate the Marley Military Camp.
"Um, Captain Loa, are you familiar with the Eldia Third Regiment?" The Marley Soldiers driving the vehicle seemed unable to bear the oppressive atmosphere inside and took the initiative to ask Yago.
Yago became interested. He hadn't infiltrated the Marley Army to fight for the Marleyan; Yago real purpose was to gather intelligence on the Marleyan and contact Zeke to investigate the Titan created by Ebson.
So Yago pretended to be interested and asked, "I've never heard of this unit before. Do you know anything about it?"
The Marley Soldiers glanced nervously out the car window, but then, unable to contain himself any longer, whispered mysteriously, "Captain Loa, that unit is known as the cursed unit..."
Marley Command Headquarters.
"Bang!" Are you kidding me?! Of the Officer who survived the entire Train, only a Lieutenant Colonel remained, and you've transferred him to that Cursed Unit? General, are you senile? Half of my junior Officer are dead! We're short-handed right now, what kind of commander do those Eldians need?!
A young Marley Colonel angrily slammed his fist on the table in front of the general, demanding to know why the lieutenant Lieutenant Colonel named Loa had been transferred to the Eldia Forces.
Faced with the Colonel's anger, Marley General merely glanced at him before continuing to write something at his desk.
"General!..."
"This is an order from the Ministry of Ministry of Defense!" The general suddenly slammed his pen on the table, his eyes filled with a chilling and menacing look.
"Do you know what the situation is like back home? Those Old Nobility, relying on their established circles, are pointing fingers at us and don't take the Marley military seriously at all! Meanwhile, that Train is full of young Officer from various powerful families. The new Nobility are rising, and the Old Nobility are just obstacles in their way. Do you understand?"
The Colonel was dumbfounded. This was a lot of information. As if he had guessed something, Colonel voice trembled. "You, you mean, those, those Officer were, sacrificed, sacrificed?"
Marley General glared at the Colonel and roared, "No, they sacrificed themselves for their country! It was those damned Middle Easterners! They murdered our fine Officer! Remember that!"
The Colonel nodded, but his heart was ice-cold. No wonder he was still wondering how the Middle Easterners were able to Marley the Rhine Province of Male without being detected, since Middle Easterners are known to have very distinctive features.
"Is there anything else?" Marley General picked up his pen again and asked casually.
The Colonel saluted and said, "Report, that's all!"
Go back to your post.
"Yes!"
Watching the colonel's Colonel figure Marley General shook his head helplessly. This was a decision from above. The Old Nobility had too much influence over Marley, as evidenced by the recent war between Marley and the Middle East. Those Nobility in power were actually hindering the war, so the Supreme Commander had decided to take action against the Old Nobility.
The Tybur family didn't seem to object, which was quite strange, considering that the Tybur family the most power; there was no reason for them not to react.
It's just a pity about those young Nobility Officer. Marley General met those young men; they were all very passionate and patriotic. It's just a shame...
"Cursed Unit? Oh, that's interesting. You mean all five commanders before me were killed in action?" Yago stroked his chin, seemingly quite intrigued.
The Marley Soldiers driving the car nodded, then couldn't help but advise, "Captain Loa, I suggest you apply for a transfer to another unit. That Eldia Third Regiment is a Cursed Unit, always sent to the front lines in every war. Several waves of Eldians have died there; frankly, it's cannon fodder. You're still young; it's best not to take the risk."
Yago smiled. Cursed Unit? Cannon fodder? It seems this Eldia Forces is quite famous. At the same time, Yago felt a slight pang of sadness.
According to the Marley Soldiers, this Eldia Forces had truly given its all in the war against Marley. Several waves of Eldians died, and this force had been replenished several times, so it must have suffered heavy casualties. Yet, in the eyes of the Marleyan, they were Cursed Unit, cannon fodder?
Yago couldn't help but feel sorrow for his compatriots.
Soon, the outline of a simple Military Camp appeared ahead of the military vehicle; that was Yago's destination: the Eldia Third Regiment.
Meanwhile, inside the camp of the Eldia Third Regiment, a dozen soldiers dressed in Marley uniforms gathered in a tent in a corner. Without exception, they all wore silver Armband, which indicated their identities as some of the lower-ranking Eldians commanders within the Eldia Third Regiment.
Just then, an Eldia Soldiers rushed into the tent in a panic, "Something's wrong, boss! A new Marley commander has suddenly appeared outside the Military Camp!"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the tent turned their gaze to the slender figure at the very back of the tent. Her once long hair had been cut into a short bob, her amber eyes were still as bright as ever, and her face was still as beautiful as ever. Her military uniform added to her heroic air. Selina put down the booklet in her hand and looked at the Soldiers who had given the report.
The pamphlet contained a list of members of the Eldia Restorationists organization that Selina had painstakingly developed within the Marley Army over the years, but the brutal war claimed the lives of half of those listed, who perished in the conflict between the Marleyan and the Middle Easterners.
The tent now houses the Eldia Restorationists, led by Selina, and half the Soldiers of the Third Regiment are under their control.
"A new commander? What's there to be afraid of? Several commanders have come before, and none of them survived a month. Let's just take him out next time we go to the battlefield. What do you say, boss?" an Eldians said casually to Selina.
Selina smiled and shook her head, then said, "Let's go meet the new commander."
