Weeping Plain, the center of the barracks.
Although there have been several earthquakes in succession, the tall tower still stands on the ground. For Somm, what really worries him is not the earthquake, but the unfinished projects. The damage caused by the earthquake is very limited, but an unfinished military camp can make Somm lose the title of legion commander. This is not just punishment, it is an insult. For thousands of years, no legion commander has lost his black hat because he failed to build a barracks on time. If he becomes the first, Somme will not face to live. As a soldier who has served in the Army for more than a thousand years, Somm has always believed that the greatest meaning of life is to gain honor and fame.
The problem is that Somm is the commander of the corps, not the commander of the engineering unit.
In fact, Somm doesn't understand engineering construction at all.
Somme is a typical soldier. In the past thousand years, he started as a soldier and was promoted step by step to become a legion commander. Although he has worked in many troops, Somm has never been to an engineering army, and he has never learned engineering knowledge.
Obviously, Somm has the ability to command legions, but he cannot control the progress of the project.
How long will this damn barracks be completed? Som doesn't know, only the responsible engineering commander knows. Although the fleet has sent new engineering commanders and more engineering troops, these newcomers don't know much about the situation in the barracks. What makes Somm even more headache is that the successive earthquakes have delayed the progress of the project to a large extent, at least the situation reported by the project commander.
However, Som is now focusing on the progress of the project.
The Fleet Command has been inquiring about the progress of the project, and Nathan even personally sent an order for Somm to report to him four times a day. He also clearly mentioned that if the barracks cannot be completed on time, Somm will not do it. There will be a new commander to take over.
The pressure from above left Somme no choice.
According to his order, the commander of the engineering unit also reported to him the progress of the project four times a day, and he would report it to Nexen intact.
As for the result, Somm didn't think much about it, and it was useless to think about it.
What he can do is to do his best to help the project construction, such as giving priority to the supply of materials for the project, and providing the most comprehensive logistical support for the officers and soldiers of the engineering unit. If necessary, Som will also launch military officers and soldiers to participate in construction and construction.
As a result, the three legions were completely broken up, scattered in various places.
In this regard, Som was vaguely disturbed.
Although news from the Fleet Command and the grassroots units without exception indicate that they are the only living beings on the Slag Star, the previous strong earthquake and the disappearance of the engineering unit commander Carlson in the earthquake caused Somm is always worried.
Others don't know Carlson, but Somm knows very well.
Quite simply, the two have known each other for more than a thousand years, and they have been serving in the same army. Somme has always been Carlson's immediate boss. More importantly, Somme and Carlson participated in the Fifth Greenwich War together more than a thousand years ago, and they have been fighting together.
In Somme's eyes, Carlson is a very good engineering commander.
Perhaps in terms of combat effectiveness, Carlson can't match the officers of the combat troops, but when it comes to engineering construction, I am afraid that few people can match him. More importantly, Carlson has a strong sense of responsibility. He is meticulous in doing everything and will never shrink from difficulties.
In fact, in terms of combat power, Carlson is not weak.
Somme knew that Carlson had an S-class power converter. Although it was captured on the battlefield, and it was damaged when it was captured, it could not perform all its functions, but the performance is definitely not too bad, at least equivalent to ordinary AAA grade original energy converter. Even if Carlson is not an officer of the combat force, relying on this original energy converter, he has enough ability to deal with natural disasters such as earthquakes.
It is simply impossible for an officer with a power converter to disappear in the earthquake.
Of course, the news received later explained Somme's doubts.
According to the information sent by the Fleet Command, Carlson did not go missing. Instead, he discovered a network of mine tunnels under the Weeping Plain after the earthquake. In order to find out the situation of the underground tunnels, he did not immediately return to the army. Obviously, this is completely consistent with his conscientious performance. In any case, the geological structure has a huge impact on the construction of the barracks, and it is reasonable for Carlson to explore the underground tunnels. However, what puzzled Somm was that Carlson did not contact the Legion Command, but directly reported the situation to the Fleet Command. According to the regulations, Carlson should at least report to the Legion Command at the same time so that Somme knows what he is doing.
It's just that Carlson is still alive, so Somm is somewhat relieved.
In Somme's view, as long as Carlson returns to the barracks after investigating the situation, the later construction work will not be a problem.
The question is, when will Carlson come back
The message sent by the Fleet Command was not clear. It only mentioned that Carlson was still alive and did not mention when Carlson would return to the barracks.
Som can only wait patiently.
Of course, Somm has already made arrangements. After receiving the message from the Fleet Command, he issued an order to make the troops deployed on the periphery pay attention to the abnormal movement, and immediately sent him back to the Legion Command after discovering Carlson. In addition, Somm also asked the new commander of the engineering unit to submit the construction report on time, so that after Carlson returned, he could take over the construction work as soon as possible.
However, a few days later, Carlson still has no news.
Where is he and what is he doing
If you can contact Carlson, Somm would like to ask. The army was about to arrive, but the barracks were not built. Somm didn't know why Carlson was still outside at this time. With Carlson's ability, even if there is a problem with the communication equipment, he can return to the barracks. In any case, as long as Carlson wants to complete the construction of the barracks on time, he shouldn't stay outside, he should have returned long ago.
In fact, this is also the main reason Somm feels uneasy.
Don't forget, Carlson is a very responsible engineering commander. He has no reason to stay outside when he knows that the deadline is coming.
After a few days, Somm's patience has reached its limit, and his anxiety has become stronger.
More importantly, it has reached the last day. In other words, a large force composed of one hundred legions will arrive within twenty-four hours. Although the barracks have been basically completed, many peripheral projects have not been completed, and they cannot accommodate a hundred legions.
Carlson hadn't returned by this time, and it was strange that there was no accident.
The question is, what can happen in this ghost place
Of course, Somme no longer has any hope for Carlson. It's natural that he can come back, but even if he doesn't come back, he won't be able to catch up with everything he has.
The construction of the project had to proceed as usual, with or without Carlson, it had to be completed within a day.
Of course, not all are done.
According to the order issued by the Fleet Command yesterday, Somme must at least ensure that the infrastructure of the camp is completed, that is, it can accommodate the upcoming 100 legions. As for the outer defense line of the barracks, it is not a big problem if it is not completed for the time being. Anyway, there is no enemy on the Slag Star that can threaten the Legion.
Just like this, Somm adjusted the deployment of troops, including engineering troops.
Under his arrangement, the engineering units of the ten corps were all concentrated in the center of the barracks, which is the barracks area. In addition, more than half of the officers and soldiers of the three corps participated in the construction of the project. In any case, building a barracks that can accommodate a hundred legions is definitely not an easy task.
Fortunately, the number of people is great.
In addition, the Fleet Command only requires the completion of the construction of the barracks, and other related infrastructure can be discussed after the arrival of the large forces.
Half a day has passed, most of the barracks have been completed, and the rest are almost complete.
Thinking of being able to complete the task in time, Somm secretly breathed a sigh of relief. In any case, at least you will not lose your black hat because you haven't completed the construction task.
In fact, Somme knew very well that in more than ten hours, he would no longer be the commander here.
You know, Somm is only the legion commander, and he is temporarily in charge of the three legions, only because he is the oldest of the three legion commanders. After the arrival of the large force, a new commander will definitely come to replace him, and he will return to his original position.
For Somme, this is also a relief.
Over the past few days, Somm has realized that great power is not necessarily a good thing.
While he was thinking about this, a staff officer hurried over. When he turned his head and looked at the staff officer, his eyes fell on the man at the door. To be precise, it was not one person, but several people, but one of them caught Somm's attention.
No one else, it was Carlson that Som had thought about a few days ago.
Behind Carlson, there were a few soldiers from the 7th Army.
Somm didn't know the soldiers, but it didn't matter. He had issued an order long ago, no matter who it was, he brought Carlson to the legion command immediately after meeting Carlson. Obviously, it was the soldiers of the 7th Army who met Carlson and then sent Carlson over.
Waved to the staff officer, Somm walked towards Carlson without even thinking about it.
Although the construction is nearing completion, it doesn't matter whether there is Carlson or not, but the two have known each other for more than a thousand years, and Somme is Carlson's immediate boss. Somme is also very happy to see Carlson back safely. Besides, there is still a lot of construction work waiting for Carlson.
Of course, Somm did not know that he was heading for disaster.
That person was indeed Carlson, but the one following Carlson was not a soldier of the Seventh Army, nor a soldier of the Lei Ling clan.
Somm didn't have the slightest precaution, and he didn't need to worry about anything at the legion command.
Besides, there is no one on the slag star, and there are no other living creatures except for the coming Lei Ling Clan officers and soldiers, what else to worry about
