Chapter 2736 (▽`) Shooting yourself in the foot
Almost at the same time that the greenskins officially began to attack Abaddon's landing force position, the image data detected and photographed by the Banshee stealth reconnaissance aircraft were quickly transmitted through relay equipment to areas outside the range of the red mist.
In the command center of the mine base.
"ah!"
"That is how the matter?"
"strangeness!"
"Why do the guys from the Terra Empire start fighting directly with the greenskins?"
"Aren't they here to beat us?"
"This is really rare!"
The first military intelligence officer who saw the information subconsciously exclaimed, and then hurriedly shared the intelligence information and images with the entire staff room where he was.
"Let me see!"
"Ha ha!"
"It's really rare!"
"Those greenskins had just beaten away the subspace demons not long ago. Now, Terra's fools have just forced their way in and occupied the high ground near the greenskins' lair. Isn't this right?
Looking for a fight?”
"Wait!"
"The intelligence coming back from the front shows that the army of greenskins has abandoned the demons and returned. Now they are just appetizers. They will have a better time next!"
Another staff officer also began to gloat after seeing those images.
"marvelous!"
"I really hope the greenskins can wipe out all those Terrans, so that we won't have to worry too much when the time comes."
"Just now the commander on the front line over there was still asking for instructions whether to send fighter planes and missiles to intercept those landing craft. Now it's okay. They don't have to worry about it anymore. The greenskins will help us eliminate them."
"hope so……"
"But to be honest, those Astartes are not easy to deal with. Whether the greenskins can win is still questionable."
"Too!"
"Those are just the rear troops of the greenskins. The main force is still fighting the demons further east. It's fine now. Their home was stolen by Terra's people."
"They must be very angry, right?"
"It's okay to be angry!"
"It would be best for them to send back all the main forces fighting against the demons, and then continue to fight Terra's people to the end. Then the pressure on us will be much less."
"I really hope it comes to that."
"It's not hope, it has already evolved into that. If you don't believe it, just wait and see?"
After watching it for a while, the group of staff responsible for analyzing intelligence in the base command center began to discuss the situation with unabashed gloating while pointing at the situation on the image and video.
"Hello!"
"You said..."
Suddenly, a staff officer said eagerly:
"If we take the opportunity to carry out a fusion strike on their battlefield now, will the effect be very good?"
"Think about it!"
"Although the people of the Terra Empire, especially those Astartes vehicles with armor, may not be able to kill many people with direct hits only through shock waves and high temperatures, but if we use large-yield strategic fusion strike weapons and fire a few more
, the effect must be explosive, right?”
"While they are having fun fighting each other, let's have a quickie?"
Although the place is shrouded in red mist, but now they know the coordinates and the accurate battlefield. In this case, the strike weapons of their mine base can hit accurately. That is not a big problem. At most, it is just that after the strike, there is no way.
It was just a matter of time to scout and tally the results.
"ah!"
"What a great idea!"
"What do you think?"
Another staff officer quickly agreed and began simulation calculations.
"Why do you need so much trouble?"
But soon, another staff member from Huagai Star expressed her objection.
"Now the war has just begun. We need to save a little on fusion strike weapons. The energy they produce will be in vain. We might as well just let our battlecruisers launch orbital strikes directly on the ground!"
"The effect and power are no worse than fusion strikes, and the damage to the planet is less than fusion strikes."
“And it’s not wasted!”
In her opinion, fusion strike weapons, especially those with large yields, emit precious energy. As for the CMC armor worn by the Marines, they all use cold fusion reactors.
It is said that the yield of one fusion strike weapon, especially one of strategic level, is estimated to be enough to supply 100,000 people, which is the energy supply for an army for more than a month.
Therefore, for Hua Gaixing, who is still a little nervous in terms of energy and materials, she is not willing to waste it so much, especially when her own troops are not fighting.
“In this case, it doesn’t matter whether it is wasted or not!”
"Let's just blow it up!"
“I think it’s feasible!”
"Sir!"
"what do you think?"
"Would you like a few rounds?"
In this way, after several staff members discussed for a while, they all turned to look at their chief of staff, as if they wanted to ask the other party to judge the plan they discussed and issue permission to strike.
"Forget it about the orbital strike."
"Our warships currently don't have time to carry out strike missions on the ground."
"The main fleet is fighting with Horus's large fleet on the outskirts of the galaxy. It is said that they have fought several times, but they have not gained much."
"As for the remaining two small fleets, they only have less than ten battlecruisers in total. They still need to expel or even destroy enemy battleships. They also need to patrol and intercept the enemy's infiltrating and lurking troop carrier fleet at all times.
You better not expect any ground strikes."
"As for the fusion strike..."
"The commander has said that it is currently in our interests to let the greenskins and the people of Terra consume each other. I'm afraid it will be counterproductive to intervene rashly."
"Once they are alerted, it is likely that they will stop the conflict and set their sights on us?"
"That's not a situation we want to see."
"So, don't think too much, just keep an eye on them. There is no need for any intervention or attack, at least not for now."
However, what made those staff officers slightly disappointed was that their superiors directly and ruthlessly refuted all their ideas, whether it was fusion strike or orbital strike.
"The focus of our work now is defense. At the same time, we have to be alert to the counterattack of the subspace demons. We cannot spare too much troops and energy."
"After the plan to conquer the Necrons is successful, the subspace demons will become irrelevant. By then, whether it is the green skins or Terra's landing force, they will be able to deal with them much more easily."
"The main threat right now is still the subspace demon. Don't confuse the priorities!"
Then, seeing the disappointed expressions of several people, the chief of staff thought for a moment and patiently added the following two sentences.
"Conquer the Necrons..."
"Sir, I heard that we have started a secret operation, haven't we?"
"No news yet?"
Because this is the command center of the mine base, and it is also the staff department. They are one of the officers of the staff group, so they still know some things, especially after the operation has started, there is no need to keep it secret.
It's just that they don't know much, and they are not responsible for that operation, and the intelligence data does not pass through their staff room.
"have no idea!"
"That was handled by Adjutant Alia personally. She is directly responsible to Commander Darius. We just have to wait for the news."
As he said that, the chief of staff couldn't help but frown and looked towards a certain command room.
Then he saw that there, there were not only the female adjutant Alia he just mentioned, but also several senior staff officers and generals in the command center, and even Chief Darius himself seemed to be there, and that command room
It directly connects with that action and all major strategies currently on Huagai Star and even the battleship guerrilla warfare in the universe.
It's a pity that their military rank is not enough to enter the command room. They, the new staff officers of Huagai Star, can only handle and analyze some less important intelligence outside and execute some less critical actions and plans.
That's it, it's not their turn to dictate matters at a higher level of strategic level.
"cough!"
"Hope it goes well?"
"This trouble comes one after another. At first I thought I would just defeat the demon and that would be it, but I never thought..."
"you do not say!"
"In the beginning, there were only subspace demons, but what about now?"
"Terra's Great Crusade Fleet, the Necrontyr Necrons, Star Gods, green-skinned orcs, the bastards of the Secret Cult, and a few other Chaos Demons are making trouble..."
"Oh my God!"
"Is this a rhythm that will drive the people of our Taiwei galaxy to death?"
"Who did we offend whom?"
"how so?"
"We didn't provoke anyone, it was those bastards who took the initiative to provoke us!"
"honestly……"
"If Head of State Anne hadn't happened to come to the Taiwei Galaxy, and if Wang Qing, the 'savior', hadn't happened to meet him, you and I would have either turned into corpses, or turned into mutated and corrupted walking zombies."
"How nice was it here before?"
"before?"
"I……"
"I kind of think about my family..."
"Me too."
"I originally had two children and a small villa with a garden in Guixi Market, but now..."
"Ah!"
"I hate those Terran guys now!"
"??"
"What does it have to do with those Terran people? Shouldn't we hate demons?"
"The devil hates it too!"
"But now it's the Terran people who are causing trouble. If it weren't for them, it would be much easier for us to eliminate the demons in the sector, right?"
"this……"
"It seems true?"
"If nothing else, without those bastards from Terra, with our current military strength and hundreds of battlecruisers, wouldn't fighting those demons be just a joke?"
"Maybe you don't even need to take risks to implement the plan to recruit the Necron!"
"ah!"
"Listen to what you said..."
"I also feel like those Terran bastards are the culprits?"
"!!"
"Damn it, according to what you said, I really want to find a chance to cut down their bullshit Emperor and then stuff a fusion bomb under his ass!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"Don't think about it, the smallest tactical fusion bomb is very big, it will definitely not fit in, even if their Emperor is three meters high, it will be choked!"
"Is the deuterium-8 grenade okay?"
"No no no!"
"That thing is unstable. You'd better pray that you never touch that thing. It's no joke if it explodes."
"Then beat him to pieces with a spiked rifle!"
"Come on!"
"Don't deny it, they are very powerful!"
"Not to mention the Emperor, even if it is their original body or the worst kind of Astartes, you are probably very tough. I think you will definitely not be able to defeat it!"
"Can't beat it?"
"How do you know I can't beat you if you haven't tried?"
"Well..."
"I think it's better for you to hold back and try. Maybe you'll die after trying."
"!!"
At this point, before several people could continue to talk nonsense, their commander cast a stern look at them with unkind eyes, and then several people were so frightened that they quickly stopped the boring topics and turned to concentrate on
They pretended to be working hard in their respective positions and no longer dared to discuss issues unrelated to work among themselves.
…
At the same time, far away on the other side of the planet.
"..."
(　ヘ)　
Within the sphere of influence of the demons and greenskins in that subspace, that is, within the scope of the red mist, a certain troubled little girl Head of State was still looking at the greenskin army and the Sixteenth Legion of the Terra Empire in the distance with relish
During the bloody battle between the Luna Wolves, she was completely unaware of the fact that she and the greenskins under her command almost suffered a fusion strike and an orbital strike because she did not report it to the base.
At this moment, she was just holding a telescope on a hill and staring at the battlefield in the distance, watching the greenskins rushing into the battle lines of the Terra Empire and starting to fight against the Sixteenth Legion of the Empire.
The scene of the Luna Wolves' troops fighting.
"Waaagh!!"
"WAAAGH!!!!"
In the distance, the roars of the greenskins continued.
Although countless greenskins were blown to pieces by the terrifying long-range fire of the giant Titan mechas and armored troops of the Mechanicum, and although their dense formations even created huge open areas with the explosion,
However, there were still countless greenskins who braved the indiscriminate bombardment and hail of bolter bullets and fiercely rushed to the first line of defense, which was mainly composed of tall warriors, and fought with the Luna Wolves.
The Astartes Space Marines fought together in a melee.
"kill!"
"Kill those heretics!"
"Crush them!"
"rush out!"
When the green-skinned orcs rushed to the front, finally, in the chaotic and bombarded battlefield, with waves of roars, the Astartes Space Marines of the 16th Legion's Luna Wolves began to shout.
Use the power backpack's jet to actively eject out of the trench.
"For the Emperor!"
"For the glory of the empire!"
"Kill!!!!"
Then, they stood directly in front of the war-torn position with their bodies like steel barriers, and then resolutely launched a counterattack against the incoming green-skinned orc army.
Facing the greenskins who have an absolute numerical advantage, the Astartes are wearing heavy power armor and armed with bolters and chainswords, or power hammers, power axes, power swords, and even kinetic claws and other weapons.
None of the soldiers retreated. Instead, they waved the chainswords in their hands without fear and launched a counterattack.
For the sake of their emperor and their loyalty, every slash they made was accompanied by the sound of electric sparks and tearing metal, easily dismembering the green-skinned orcs at the front into pieces of stumps in an instant.
In the melee, terrifying power hammers and power axes danced in the hands of the warriors, and each heavy blow fell like thunder, smashing the green-skinned orcs to pieces.
The kinetic sword is their right-hand assistant in killing. The sword body is shining with a faint blue light. Every time it is swung, it seems to be able to split the space, cutting the greenskins into two or more pieces easily and instantly, as if there is no any.
The obstacles are general.
The roars of those bolters echoed throughout the sky, and the explosions illuminated the faces of both sides that were either resolute, ferocious, or hysterical.
However, there were so many green-skinned orcs that they seemed to be endless, and one wave after another came over them before they were all killed.
soon!
Even if they are as strong as the Astartes, their armor will inevitably be broken by the greenskins' multiple slashes, smashes and bites, or they will start to be bombarded by the messy weapons at close range.
They were damaged and collapsed, and then one after another began to slump to the ground.
But even so, none of them flinched. On the contrary, more Astartes rushed up from the rear to join the battle group, and with the shooting support of the massive mortal auxiliaries further behind, they were nailed to the ground.
He reached the front line and firmly held the line.
"..."
(_)
Seeing this, Anne put down the telescope and did not continue to look down.
Because she knew that the greenskins couldn't easily attack it.
And similarly, it is not easy for the bad guys of the Terra Empire to settle down. If the two sides don't confront each other for ten days and eight days, there will definitely be no winner!
Therefore, since the situation here has been stabilized for the time being, and since the bad guys of the Terra Empire have no way to launch any attacks on their nearest base city, then of course she, Head of State Anne, is not going to stay any longer, but resolutely moves towards the back
She walked over to a Viking fighter jet parked there.
"??"
"Big boss?"
"What are you going to do?"
Seeing Annie about to leave, of course, the green-skinned orc, who had just shot down the transport plane carrying the enemy leader with one shot, couldn't help but be a little puzzled, so he asked in a naive voice.
"I have something very important to do!"
(*^▽^*)
"I'll leave this to you, work hard and people will look after you!"
(゜▽^*)
After saying that, regardless of the stupid green skin that was a little dull, Annie just happily jumped into the cockpit of her Viking fighter plane hidden in the dense forest, and then quickly rose up amidst the roar of the plane and
Fly to the west.
"Well?!"
At this time, outside the Terran Empire's position, next to a burning transport plane, a group of greenskins had just been killed, and the power swords and power claws in their hands were still full of green and dirty blood.
Of course Abaddon the Despoiler also saw the Viking fighter slowly taking off from the formation behind the greenskins and leaving majestically.
"!!"
"Sure enough, it's those humans who did it!"
"I will never spare them!!"
Then, subconsciously, he blamed the humans from the Koprulu sector for the reason why there were so many green skins here.
Although he didn't know what method those humans in the sector used to give birth to the green skins, nor what method the other side used to control the green skins, he only knew that since the opponent's fighter jets could take off from the green skins' camp
And if he hasn't been attacked yet, then the situation is basically the same as what he just guessed.
Of course!
As for Abaddon, who actually planted the green skins here with his own hands, and who might have done something stupid to shoot himself in the foot, he selectively ignored that bad fact and directly
All the blame is placed on those humans from the sector.
