Chapter 2735 (?) How can there be so many green skinned people?
On the outskirts of the Taiwei galaxy, in the orbit of the Four Auxiliary Stars 4 planet, the dark and boundless universe is exuding a quiet and chilling atmosphere.
Because, in that boundless darkness and vastness, the commander of the Second Squadron of the Terra Empire's Great Expedition Fleet, the Legion Commander of the 16th Legion 'Lunar Wolves', Horus, has officially issued an order to his subordinate legions and fleets.
The order to attack the Taiwei Galaxy and the Huagai Star.
Yes, it’s an attack!
Although Horus and Huagai Star can still continue to contact and negotiate, the two sides have not really reached the level of unrequited fighting, and there are no major irreconcilable conflicts. However, in view of the serious failure of the negotiations, in view of the serious failure of Huagai Star,
Unwilling to give in from the beginning to the end, in view of the huge pressure from the Emperor, Horus had no choice but to grit his teeth and issued the somewhat cruel order, not wanting to have long nights and dreams, preparing to directly treat the human government of Huagai Star and the sector as that kind of
Tyrant or dictator to deal with.
Therefore, the war between the Taiwei Galaxy and the Terra Empire was officially declared to have begun at this moment.
However, this is not an undeclared war. Certain clues and signs have undoubtedly emerged during this period. Then, both sides have already begun to make corresponding preparations. Now that such a result has occurred, in the eyes of both sides
There were no big surprises at all.
Anyway!
Following Horus's order, the thousands of ships, like behemoths that had been sleeping for a long time, began to slowly start their engines and move in formation.
In this terrifying fleet, the flagship 'Spirit of Vengeance', as the core of the entire fleet, is standing silently in the center of the fleet. While the huge hull of the Glory Queen class exudes a strong sense of oppression, its bow
The muzzle of the macro cannon seems to be still being inspected and warmed up, which seems to indicate the coming terrible war storm?
For the Terra Empire, every ship is a huge war machine, because building the empire's spaceship is a huge project, and each spacecraft takes a long time and a lot of resources to build.
, but once it is completed, equipped with equipment, weapons, and begins to serve, it will serve for centuries, even thousands of years.
And the flagship of the 'Spirit of Vengeance' is naturally the same.
Although its history of existence is different from that of its sister ship, the Great Tyrant, and is not older than the history of the Empire, it is one of the earliest battleships built for the Empire by the Mechanicus of Mars. It is in the deepest part of the battleship.
At the lowest level, some environments have become not so beautiful after all due to the passage of time. Some places have even become a corrupt paradise full of corruption, stench and pests.
Therefore, in order to prepare for the next battle, when the fleet begins to slowly form and move towards the depths of the Taiwei galaxy, towards the Huagai star, it must also undergo corresponding repairs, modifications, and reconstruction before it can fight
It can fully exert its power without causing unnecessary failures in the process.
In fact, not only the flagship, but other ships in the Horus fleet also had some minor problems.
After all, they have been built for a long time, and the Great Expedition has lasted for decades. But for those terrifying space war machines, unless a major accident occurs or is severely damaged in battle, in most cases, the ship will look like a ship.
Great cities are so immortal.
Even if their crews come and go, live and die, even if their equipment is dismantled, reinstalled, and modified, as long as it is not sunk, destroyed, or exploded, in the course of the ship's service and combat,
They are immortal as they never cease to be rebuilt and renewed.
Because almost every battleship of the Great Expedition is equipped with hundreds or thousands of loyal craftsmen. Their job is to repair and renovate the ship, maintain the normal operation of the ship, and deal with various types of damage that continue to occur.
Struggle, there are even corresponding factories and workshops on the flagship 'Vengeance Spirit', which have huge casting equipment and plasma furnaces, and are even equipped with small smelters and ore smelting equipment for the reconstruction and repair of warships.
There is absolutely no problem in providing raw materials for the work.
And that is the only reason for the existence of a certain little girl Ali and her parents, as well as the thousands of Imperial Navy and staff who exist and thrive on the lower deck and never see the light of day!
Of course, the above things are not important. What is important is: the Horus fleet has moved. Whether you admit it or not, the war has broken out. Both sides have no better choice except to destroy or conquer the other side.
Otherwise!
What is very surprising is that after detecting the big move of the 16th Legion, to everyone's surprise, the Taiwei Galaxy fleet, which was already at an absolute disadvantage and should have been forced to take a defensive stance, reacted quickly to this.
.
Almost instantly!
Under the orders of Darius, the Supreme Commander of the Taiwei Galaxy and the Canopy Star, and the leadership of the flagship 'Noxus', there were at least hundreds of battlecruisers, all of which were 'T' shaped battleships.
He actually suddenly activated the jump, and then instantly appeared behind the formation and slowly starting up of the 'Luna Wolf' fleet?
Then, a well-planned sneak attack began.
Because the fleet of the Taiwei galaxy used advanced warping technology that the empire was completely unaware of and instantly broke the shackles of space and appeared in an unexpected position of the fleet, so before Horus's fleet could react, it turned around and moved the ship behind.
With their secondary guns, the hundreds of battlecruisers brazenly launched a salvo that had been prepared for a long time.
In an instant, an orange-red light lit up in the dark universe, and the destructive plasma cannons were like the scythes of the god of death, directed at the weakly defended supply ships and low-armored ships of the Horus fleet.
The frigates and cruisers bombarded away from the rear!
soon!
Continuous explosions and fires began to reverberate in the universe, but due to the vacuum, apart from the terror and damage that every hit ship and the personnel on the ship could feel, there was no sound.
able to spread.
Those supply ships and frigates were obviously not suitable for frontal combat, otherwise Horus would not have formed them behind the fleet, so they seemed to be vulnerable to the salvo of plasma fire.
Like paper boats, they turned into dust in the universe in the explosion and fire in an instant.
Fortunately, the Horus fleet was strong after all, and their shields, void shields, stasis fields and other protections played a role at critical moments, blocking most of the sneak attacks.
But even so, at least twenty or thirty supply ships and more than a dozen frigates were destroyed instantly. At the same time, less than twenty frigates and cruisers suffered varying degrees of damage to their hulls.
In this regard, seeing their own large fleet being attacked, the Horus fleet reacted quickly after the initial confusion.
With the cooperation of some ship officers, Horus calmly commanded the fleet. While using the macro cannon at the rear of the battleship to fire back hastily, he also hurriedly asked some of the fleet's main ships to change course, preparing to take advantage of the numerical superiority of his own fleet.
The absolute advantage and the large and small main macro cannons on the bow of the ship are used to engage in a decisive battle with the cunning Taiwei galaxy fleet that has the upper hand and is located behind the own fleet.
It's a pity that Taiwei Galaxy's fleet is not stupid and has no intention of giving them a chance.
then!
When we saw that Horus's fleet was experienced and quickly deployed, even one-third of the main ships were divided into several small ships ranging from two to three hundred ships in the first time.
When the fleet was about to encircle it, Taiwei Galaxy's fleet did not choose to confront them head-on. Instead, under the leadership of the Noxus flagship, they cunningly activated the coordinates prepared in advance and conducted a short-distance jump engine.
It instantly disappeared under the bombardment radar of the Horus fleet and the muzzle of the macro cannon that had completed its warm-up.
Just like that, at the orbit of the Sifu 4 star, the dark universe returned to silence again.
In this dark battlefield, only the firelight and aftermath of the ship explosions rippled in the space. Of course, there were also the wreckage of those warships floating in the darkness, and from time to time they lost their targets and were somewhat unknown.
The ships of the Horus fleet rammed away.
As for the mood of the original body Horus and the commanders of the Horus fleet, it is temporarily unknown, but what is certain is that in this sneak attack, the Horus fleet lost at least more than thirty ships.
Supply ships and frigates, as well as more than a dozen cruisers and frigates, suffered varying degrees of damage.
Although that level of casualties is nothing to the Horus fleet, which has three thousand ships in the Sixteenth Legion alone, it is the first time that we have seen the advanced warping technology of the humans in the sector.
and applications, and then suffered a heavy loss, it was inevitable that a shadow would be cast on their hearts.
But no matter what, the war has begun. Now, it cannot be stopped if they want to, and they have no intention of stopping. Therefore, after carrying out corresponding rescue, deployment and preparedness, they have re-completed the reorganization load.
The Russ fleet once again sailed steadily towards the direction of the Canopy Star.
…
At this time, the Huagai Star's raid on the Necron Tombs of the Necrontyr and the 'collection' of those metal skeletons had quietly begun.
Among them, the reason why the head of state of a certain miserable little girl could not be contacted was not only because she had something more fun to do and accidentally forgot about the 'business', but of course she was within the red mist.
That's why he stayed in the area occupied by those subspace demons.
And the reason why she did that was: when the fleet in the sector, led by the 'Noxus', began to launch an asymmetric guerrilla war against the Horus fleet and tried its best to prevent the opponent from approaching the Canopy Star, and even wanted to
When using this to eliminate a large number of the opponent's effective forces and buy more time for our own side, Horus's fleet did not sit still and wait for death. In fact, they had already made corresponding arrangements!
Almost as soon as the sneak attack outside the orbit of the Fourth Auxiliary Star started, several dark imperial warships suddenly appeared in the orbit of the Huagai Star. Then, when the planet's orbital defense platform and several warships hurriedly jumped back to the defense,
When a series of cruisers and a large number of Viking fighter planes took off, preparing to destroy or expel the enemy, a large number of large and small imperial landing ships and fighter planes were already overwhelmingly heading towards the ground of Huagai Star to forcibly 'land on the beach'.
Moreover, the opponent's commander also very cunningly avoided the human-occupied area of ​​​​Huagai Star, and instead chose the area occupied by the subspace demons who had almost no air defense capabilities, which was a certain area that the opponent had occupied before.
Small town!
That’s right!
After a few months of separation, Abaddon is back!
Moreover, they came back with a landing force of nearly 100,000 people in several spaceships, and a larger elite army than the last time!
"Hahaha!"
Watching the large and small Imperial landing ships successfully breaking through the atmosphere and landing on the ground of Canadium without encountering any effective resistance, watching the countless Astra Militarum, Mortal Auxiliary Army, Imperial Navy, and Mechanicus priests
After the huge machines, knights, tanks and a large number of Astartes Space Marines of the 16th Legion set foot on the land of Canopy and regained the dilapidated town fortress they had operated before, they returned to this place.
Where he had fought bloody battles, Abaddon stood proudly on a high ground and roared loudly:
"I--"
"Abaddon the Despoiler is back!"
As Abaddon, who is one of the three heroes of the Great Crusade along with the 'Imperial Fist' Sigismund and the 'Blood Angel' Radolon, and is also one of the Council of Four Kings of the 'Moon Wolves', it is really difficult at the moment.
There is nothing that he would be more proud of and look forward to than being able to personally lead the troops back to the Huagai Star.
Although he didn't know what the father of their legion, the Primarch Horus, and the fourth captain of that legion, Sejanus, had gone crazy about, or what they were planning, but now
, he, Abaddon, is back again, and he’s back even stronger!
Next, he will take root here at a faster speed, then guard this bridgehead and lay out various fortifications, and then start to launch reconnaissance and exploratory attacks on a certain human military base mentioned in the intelligence. When he feels that the time is right or
When more troops arrived, he attacked in one fell swoop and directly seized something important that those cunning sector humans had scattered and hidden among them.
He didn't know what it was, nor why it made the original body and the Legion's fourth captain Sejanus so nervous and concerned. He also did so many abnormal actions for this reason, and even came to the Huagai Planet many times.
He negotiated with the humans in those star areas, but all he knew was that the war had begun, and the all-out war he was most looking forward to began.
Abaddon doesn't care what it is. When the time comes, after he captures the human base city in that sector and gets what the Primarch and Sejanus have repeatedly told him to get, he believes that
, everything will be revealed.
Because now the troops here are under his command, and he has the final say on everything. When he gets the things, he will definitely take a good look at them, regardless of the boring instructions of the original body and Sejanus.
.
But...
What Abaddon never imagined was that he might not have the chance to hold this bridgehead and attack the human base.
"Well?"
Because, at this moment, a group of Astartes drove a low-altitude reconnaissance jet tank towards them with anxious expressions.
"Did the devil appear?"
"Jie!"
Seeing this, Abaddon subconsciously thought it was those troublesome subspace demons again, because the last time they were here, they fought bloody battles with those subspace demons for almost three days and three nights, and now it is not too strange that they are back again.
.
"!!"
"Captain Abaddon!"
However, the Astartes just jumped down in a hurry, staggered a little, rushed to Abaddon, and reported nervously:
"Oh no!"
"Greenskin..."
"A large number of green-skinned orcs appeared near and outside our landing site. Their number is at least hundreds of thousands, and they are getting more and more!"
"We're surrounded!"
The Astartes was breathing heavily and talking angrily.
Although the Astartes were never afraid of any enemies, being surrounded by hundreds of thousands of greenskins as soon as they landed was still a bit nerve-wracking for them, otherwise he wouldn't have rushed to report.
.
"Greenskin?"
"At least hundreds of thousands?"
Hearing this, Abaddon's expression froze at first, and then he opened his eyes angrily, grabbed the scout's collar, dragged him to him, and scolded fiercely:
"That's impossible!"
"you are lying!"
Because there were originally no green-skinned people on this Canopy Star, and more than three months ago, he personally buried the jar of green-skinned spores in the soil outside before evacuating, although he had forgotten the specific location.
, but no matter what, less than four months have passed, how could hundreds of thousands of greenskins appear and surround them?
That was simply nonsense, something he found ridiculous even after hearing it!
Hundreds of thousands of green skins, even in the most ideal situation, are simply impossible without tens or hundreds of years, especially when there are humans and subspace demons on this planet facing off, and the other side wants to develop and reproduce.
It may take hundreds of years or more to get to that point!
In fact, in such a short period of a few months, in Abaddon's opinion, it was impossible to have even one, let alone hundreds of thousands of greenskins!
And that was the reason why he unscrupulously buried the jar of stuff in the first place in a fit of rage.
Even if those greenskins can use spores to reproduce, even if they reproduce very quickly and are as difficult to clean up as pests, and even if they are indeed everywhere in the galaxy, their reproduction is still very limited.
Otherwise, this galaxy would have been occupied by those greenskins long ago.
"In the name of the Emperor!"
After struggling for a while but failing to get away, the Astartes scout retorted angrily and angrily:
"I did not lie!"
"If you don't believe it, you can go see it yourself!"
As a scout, how could he mess around with something like that? So, he naturally showed it to Abaddon and told Abaddon that he could see it with his own eyes. Anyway, the opponent's forward troops were not far from here, and they would be there soon.
We're about to launch an attack. You can't fake that kind of thing.
"!!"
"You'd better not!"
"you!"
"follow me!"
Hearing this, Abaddon couldn't help but frown a little and stared at the Astartes deeply for a while. Finally, he pushed him away, then waved his hand viciously and asked several of his men to move forward with him.
He walked towards the transport plane that had just stopped.
Obviously, he still didn't want to believe it.
Come to think of it!
As the instigator, as the person who personally buried the jar of green-skin spores, Abaddon did not believe that this planet could reproduce hundreds of thousands of green-skinned spores in just three to five months.
The skin came out, that is simply a fantasy!
A few minutes later……
"this!"
When Abaddon followed the transport plane and a dozen of his elite soldiers to the high altitude of the front line and saw the exaggerated scene in the distance clearly, he lay down next to the porthole of the transport plane with eyes wide open.
He stared angrily and couldn't help but exclaimed:
"This is impossible!"
"Absolutely impossible!"
"How could there be so many greenskins?!"
In the distance, what is the dense green sea, but an army of green-skinned orcs armed with various weapons and equipment that looks like a ragtag group of people?
As for why those greenskins could reach such a terrifying number in such a short period of time, he still had no idea.
Otherwise!
Before he could think more, a slanted but firm rocket struck, and with the explosion of fire, the rocket exploded on the outer wall of the transport plane Abaddon was riding.
boom--!
Then!
He and his direct lineage soldiers screamed one after another, and along with the transport plane, dragging the flames and the tail of the black smoke, it tilted towards the ground and fell hard.
"Waaagh!"
"waaagh!!!"
"WAAAGH!!!"
"WAAAGHHHHHHHHH!!!"
And the explosion was like a signal. With the roars of the greenskins soaring into the sky, the green ocean stood firmly towards the small town fortress where the Sixteenth Legion had not yet established a stable foothold and the hurried outskirts.
The defensive positions and other landing sites surged up one after another like a dense tidal wave of ants.
"Big boss!"
"look?"
"I just said that, right?"
"My rocket launcher can not only launch it, but it can also shoot them down!"
"Is it down now?"
And amid the deafening sound of 'waaagh!', on a hill, someone was carrying a rusty green rocket launcher that he didn't know was taken from an abandoned Huagai star city or a military camp warehouse.
The orc then sneered proudly at the "Big Boss", a miserable little girl next to him with a look of disbelief on his face.
Just now, before it was launched, their leader, the little girl in front of them, actually said that its rocket launcher must not be launched, because not only was it broken, but the ammunition did not meet the specifications?
But in the end, it randomly found a missile and fiddled with it a few times. It also removed some stabilizers and a ring of iron sheets and stuffed it in. Not only did it successfully launch it, it also accurately hit the missile in the distant sky.
An enemy transport plane that was snooping in the air was shot down.
"..."
(﹏)
In this regard, a certain bad little girl leader said vividly: Although she has led countless armies of various types, the greenskins like the ones in front of her casually came from the original Huagai Planetary Forces.
It is indeed the first time that some defective products can be tinkered with and used from an abandoned military camp warehouse!
(…)
(●￣￣●)
However, before she could say anything, as she remembered the explosions and firelights in the distance, and as the dense sound of bolters and gunpowder smoke rose into the sky, the green-skinned orcs finally formally and
The Astartes of the Sixteenth Legion and countless mortal auxiliary troops who landed on the Canopy Star collided fiercely.
