Chapter 468 Bad things come in pairs
"Torgadon, order the three teams to attack point D!"
Horus was already numb. The Vanguard Army had said before that they had engaged in a skirmish with a large group of Orcs. He took a look at the intelligence and found that it was indeed a large battle, but that was all. A hundred thousand Luna Wolves were ready to go, so it was not difficult to suppress it.
As a result, the Spirit of Vengeance jumped out of Mandeville Point and collided head-on with a metallic celestial body that was so huge that it was comparable to a star.
The expeditionary fleet had no time to change direction and plunged into the surface of the planet, and was captured by the gravity well of an astonishingly large range.
Fortunately, the Primarch's amazing wisdom helped the expedition find a chance to survive - the giant structure had an equally huge star dock, and the orcs did not expect to be ambushed.
The green big-headed dolls were not disciplined enough, and their close-in defense weapons and fortifications did not have time to be deployed, so the Imperial Army's broadside firepower was fully utilized at extremely close range.
As a Glorious Queen-class ship, the Spirit of Vengeance fired two rounds of secondary guns in 40 seconds, and the compressed nuclear weapons melted the entrance of the dock, turning the dock into a metal barrier to protect the expeditionary force from landing.
Yes, the situation was so bad that it was unimaginable. Twenty thousand Astartes, three million Imperial auxiliary troops and thousands of air fighters needed to land and fight.
In order to ensure the orderly turning of the fleet, escape from the gravity well, and conduct reconnaissance again in order to destroy the Orc Empire in the future, someone must attack the orcs and rescue them in order to achieve the tactical goal of restraining the orcs' vision and delaying time.
The initial war was not going well. As an important planet for the orcs, the biological psychic network on the battle star was so dense that it almost became a reality.
Under extremely unfavorable circumstances, the Imperial psykers were unable to suppress the illusion of roaring orc heads appearing in their souls. Low-level psykers lost control and their brains were blown out by the limiter, preventing them from blowing their teammates up into the sky.
The more advanced psychics were unable to cast spells to counter, but for the sake of the overall situation, knowing that they were infected by the orcs' psychic energy and could not return, they commanded their soldiers to desperately attack the orc psionic warlocks, and then they seized the opportunity to self-destruct face to face with the psychic units.
The psychics' sacrifice had an outstanding effect. The rhythm of the orc psychics who wanted to concentrate their psychic energy to launch an attack was interrupted, and their self-explosion caused a chain reaction. The node collapse killed a large number of orc warriors and even injured the orc warlord of a higher level.
It was not until this time that the landing troops discovered that the enemy had a large number of mechanical structures. However, the previous task was to delay time. The Astartes and auxiliary troops used long-range weapons to suppress the firepower, and there were not many opportunities for close combat.
The orcs' limbs flew everywhere due to the detonation of their psychic energy, and their mechanical components swept through the defensive positions like high-speed personnel-killing shotgun shells. Even the steel-type power armor did not dare to look up. Only the Iron Cavalry Terminator with its own force field shield could stand up and observe.
It is not known whether it was fortunate or unfortunate that the expeditionary force actually found the vanguard troops sent out earlier at the dock.
They were not killed in the battle, but were captured by a battle star that suddenly leapt in, and are still fighting tenaciously in the streets with the orcs.
The centurion wearing the Iron Knight Terminator wielding a thunder hammer smashed orcs into pieces one after another.
The chainsaw sword cannot be used at all. Although the Imperial technology is unreasonable and the chainsaw can easily cut through flesh and bones without getting stuck, the orcs have undergone too many mechanized modifications. Under high-speed impact, the chainsaw sword is like cutting iron and will soon get stuck and become scrapped.
The power sword is indeed useful, and it is not difficult to bully steel without shield protection, but the battery and the sword body cannot withstand overload work for a long time.
Those Astartes and auxiliary troops who used weapons unsuitable for the battlefield had all been killed in the battle, and they were overwhelmed by the vast number of orc warriors, war beasts, and killing cans.
Plasma weapons overheat too quickly, explosive weapons consume ammunition too quickly to be replenished, laser guns are not powerful enough, gravity weapons are neutralized by the psychic fog and have difficulty in working, and even incendiary weapons that are special attacks against organic beings are greatly reduced in effectiveness when facing the orc biological psychic field.
Those who are still alive today are either holding a thunder hammer or holding a hot-melt weapon to attack.
"Hurry up, there are Orc Warlords here, lots of them! Don't use Power Iron (Power Swords), use Hammers and Melta!"
The Centurion shouted loudly in the channel. He didn't ask for his allies to survive, but at least their deaths would be meaningful and the Empire could get more useful information.
Unfortunately, the signal was too noisy and severely distorted, so the landing troops sent out a special team to go back and deliver the message.
Horus, who was adjusting the fleet, frowned slightly and instantly came up with a countermeasure.
“For a stellar-class structure to collapse unnaturally, it either has excessive psychic energy support or is empty inside.
The former requires a super-class psychic to be in charge. If such a strong person really exists, at least he would be able to take action. Now we have to abandon our army and escape.
Therefore, the feasible method now is for half of the landing force to immediately attack the core, without worrying about other things or dividing the troops.
Give them more melta weapons and provide them with vehicles.
They were no longer needed in the defensive positions, the frigates destroyed the defense system and then maintained the suppression.
Order the fleet's light spears to gather and bombard, and create as deep a passage as possible for the commandos.
The remaining forces will search for and destroy the gravity generators, freeing the fleet."
After the herald left, Horus called Torgadon and whispered, "Take out the Extermination Order weapons. Don't worry about the model. Use whatever you have."
This was an order to disregard the life and death of the assault troops. Horus usually loved his soldiers like his own sons and used them with great care. He would not waste military strength like this unless it was necessary.
"Any unexpected situation?"
The other members of the Council of Four Kings received the news and asked cautiously.
"Well, there's something big coming out of there... I don't know what it is, but we can't wait any longer, so we have to hold off for as long as possible.
Is the fleet formation ready for action?
How's the gravity generator doing?"
The Urlak Empire
The Orc Emperor is debugging the battle star mobile engine. It has unified the Orc tribes in more than half of the galaxy and will continue to unify them.
The core of the empire is the Gorong tribe where it is located. With the blessing of Goka and Maoka, they are restoring the glory of their ancestors.
The emperor's body is over sixty meters long. His powerful body brings strength, and all orcs think that he is the only emperor.
Likewise, its intelligence continues to develop, and its battle stars are engineering miracles that it personally designs and assembles.
Today, subordinates reported that a human fleet had been captured, but it didn't take it seriously. What's wrong with hitting something on the road?
It's normal, okay!
You can't avoid it yourself, so you blame me?
Say hello to stellar armor plates!
Then there were a lot more surprises.
First, the dock was blown up, and then the armor plates were burned by human light spears, piercing through thousands of kilometers of interlayer.
The countless casualties of orcs forced it to stop its work and come out to pacify the situation.
As a result, humans began to throw star-destroying weapons that could directly hit the core of a planet. Even more abominable was that some people threw virus bombs!
This is my flagship! A flagship that is as important as my human companion!
Someone threw dirty things at me!
This was too much to bear, so the red-faced orc emperor decided to personally teach the rude human fleet a lesson.
The Orc Emperor took off on the spot and raised his psychic shield to deflect the falling debris.
"what is this?"
The Orc Emperor was a little puzzled when he used psychic power to shrink a kilometer-sized missile and played with it in his hands. Is it popular these days to stuff your brain inside it for human guidance?
The cracks shone through the metal shell, and the Orc Emperor suddenly felt like he was home.
"Shit, it turned out to be a vortex grenade. This is getting worse."
The emperor regretted his mistake very much and was then sucked into the subspace.
