Warhammer: I am the Hammer of the Empire - #107 - Chapter 102 “Orcs” meet
The journey was long and the flight was slow. The orcs were laughing and playing with each other. They sang, they thought, they begged to catch shrimps for food and to feed their pets.
The void is vast, and the orcs are fast, flying by, not in a hurry, staying by their side, hitting and beating, ignoring the original, just fighting. In the world of mortals, there is no existence beyond them, except Orks, only orcs, and only greenskins.
The weapons of the Snakebite Boys have rough serrations, and their clothes are hung with teeth and human skin. They believe that such weapons can protect them. Such an attitude even infected the captain of Blood Axe. He was taking care of his decorative rack. In the face of it, he knows all the powerful things.
Let them see, the shelves are scrawled, simple, made of garbage and death, and his favorite collection is placed on the top of the shelf, the teeth of the giant beast Scrooge, as thick as legs and arms, as red as jade, priceless. (wrong for orcs).
Secondly, there is a kid named Ti who he knows, who looks like a bean sprout and wears beautiful ornate armor, like a can. The Blood Ax kid doesn’t know how to describe him, but he calls him, a canned bean.
The second most conspicuous thing on the trophy shelf is the helmet of the Tau XV8 Crisis Battle Suit. Although it is in tatters and the camera is smashed, the rusty red color on it still represents whether the helmet can be used by the captain.
The third trophy is the military insignia used by the Imperial Guard non-commissioned officers. His military rank can be seen on it, Lieutenant.
That kind of fighting power always expresses the experience of the Blood Ax, and it can be integrated into other clans. As the race least favored by other orcs, the Blood Ax can command troops in a composite group composed of several Snakebite clans. , obviously he will not deny the weak green skin.
The uniforms of the Imperial Navy and the Snakebite’s distinctive decorations give it a damn weird feeling, not to mention the fact that it’s green-skinned.
That damn alien Yongyuan Tellurium was ruining things, whether now or in the future. He looked at the star map, and the various enemies in the boundless void made him look forward to his future with great anticipation.
But it was quite simple to see what he was facing. A metal world full of shrimps. He could see the looming human warships in the orbit of the planet, and he could also vaguely smell that damn promethium smell.
“Boys, turn off the equipment, they sneak over, and then hit the Antarctic of that world as fast as they can!”
The technical boy scratched his head. “Boss, what is Antarctica?”
Those words choked Captain Bloodaxe, Antarctica… “Antarctica is the southernmost point in the world!”
Tech Guy replied. “Boss, it’s not round, and it doesn’t work at any point in the south…”
“Okay, I’ll sign the bid. If there’s any problem with me, I’ll tear my head open!” Blood Ax was also unscrupulous. After threats and rage, the battleship slowly approached that world.
And the landing place he chose was not an uninhabited place. It was the second largest place after the capital’s main nest, with countless close-in defense guns and anti-orbital firepower, but it was not the only star port in the world. The port city is a huge creation extending hundreds of kilometers from the ground to the sky. If you control the star port, you can control wealth, strength, mobility, support, supplies, etc.
Can they ensure that they will not be detected by the auspicious device, lest they be beaten into wasps when they land? Can they turn off any equipment that can send out pulses and just rely on the inertia of the engine to drift towards that world? Even in the appearance of the orc warship, it looks like No a piece of garbage.
Although the speed is slow, such an action can ensure maximum efficiency before landing, and the boys will not suffer heavy losses due to defensive artillery.
And that kind of intelligence is what the Imperial Guard fears the most, but in most cases the Eastern Orks are not proficient in tactics. He learned this technique from an Imperial Marine. The Orks don’t like to learn, but when they realize that If something helps the war effort, they learn it quickly, no matter what.
That’s why the orcs are one of the most difficult things to fight against in the dark galaxy. The young orcs are not only strong warriors and nightmares, but also terrifying commanders who are proficient in various tactical plans.
Of course, it would be difficult for an orc to live to that point. Their warlike personality makes them destined not to reach the peak of their lives easily, but if an orc does it, his name will definitely be one of the nightmares in the galaxy.
Captain Bloodaxe is very unqualified, but he still has potential. The only problem is that he didn’t notice one thing, that is, he didn’t ask the orcs to turn off the lights. After all, it’s not what he learned, it’s not If you invent your own tactics, there will be no problem if there are any flaws in the execution.
The captain of the Bordeaux just watched the “space junk” brightly approaching the planet like a lumen ball in the void.
Tong Xun said. “Captain, what should I do?”
The captain took a sip of coffee. To be honest, even if the greenskins didn’t open their shields, he could hit about four orc battleships as soon as he got the battleships in, but they were very slow.
“Inform the ground forces that they have limited firepower. The ships currently in orbit around the world are all commercial ships. Let the ground conduct evacuation and defense…”
Soon, the command headquarters on the ground received the news, and as resident officers, Alan Bayer and Ryan naturally received the news immediately.
Ryan said thoughtfully. “There is no doubt that the orcs want to take root in that world. They probably all landed at the South Pole of that world. He thinks it should be fake, otherwise they wouldn’t be so arrogant.”
“He speculated that they would land next to the Antarctic hive city on a planet without orbital defenses, and then start attacking with ground forces.”
“When they were alert to Antarctica and spent a lot of manpower, the orcs had already attacked other places and taken root. His suggestion was to keep the troops in place, continue to scout their positions, and use trench warfare to consume the enemy after landing.”
“Although he did not deny that speed is of the essence, it is also a terrible plan to take the enemy by surprise. It is obviously better to use the most common tactics of the Imperial Guard to catch the enemy.”
After listening to this, Alan Baier shook his head immediately. That guy is not an ordinary Imperial officer. He is an old gambler. The wars he has fought in his legs have never lasted more than one year. The Empire’s decades of attrition wars seem worthless in front of him.
“Attrition war? He dared to say that those greenskins must want to sneak but forgot to turn off the lights. Their goal is to directly use airdrop warehouses and infantry to smash through the Antarctic hive city, and then occupy the starport, and then connect the large troops to the east, continuously input soldiers, and then occupy that world.”
Lian asked. “Why? The aliens have no need to risk fighting like this. They have the advantage in numbers and supplies. If they are aliens, they will definitely choose to slowly annex rather than risk failure to attack the main hive.”
Alan Baier answered. “I think the greenskins like to fight every day. They accidentally hit each other in the subspace. They are tired of fighting the greenskins. Now they finally get out, they must want to find some other races to waagh.”
“They will definitely land in densely populated areas and directly attack the local PDF, while turning the world upside down. When they come to their senses, they have already occupied the starport, and then countless war engines will be sent out from the wreckage.”
These words made Ryan shudder. He couldn’t accept that his home world was so ruined, but he didn’t think the orcs would be stupid enough to attack the strictly defended Antarctic main nest.
“He still has his own opinion. He has fought with the aliens several times. Do you seem to be looking down on the aliens’ tactical planning?”
“He admits that the Empire is supreme and humans are also very good, but arrogance is the root of failure. He will take his troops to intercept the surroundings. If I still maintain my opinion, I will go to the main nest in Antarctica to be lazy.”
Alan Baier did not refute. First, he felt that the action was not an attack on the sky hulk. Second, it was not a local battle. Third, it was obvious that he was a professional and had fought with the Titans for too long. He felt that war was about planning and strategy, iron blood and materials.
But war is not something that I can execute according to the casualties and plans by investing 3 people for 1 alien. It is full of horror, blood, and uncertainty. Obviously, the iron blood troops of that world have completed the mission of the school for the first time, which makes him feel that tactics are the most important thing.
But in that terrible universe, sensibility and experience are the most valuable. Otherwise, the Empire will rely on various attrition wars like a nuclear weapon to contain countless aliens in its own worlds? Those tactics are not superb, they just rely on the sacrifice and death of countless men and women in the Empire.
But Alanbair will not blame him, and will answer the Bordello. “Don’t ask for interception, let them slowly enter the anti-ship light spear range of the main nest in low-Earth orbit, and then I will shoot with other civilian warships.”
“Don’t ask for the landing enemies, let them deal with those greenskins, we just need to ensure that the alien warships come and go. Remember, if the mission cannot be completed, give priority to ensuring the structural integrity of the Bordello, and I can retreat to the capital hive to hide.”
The captain answered in a heavy voice. “Hide? No, the Bordello is already thirsty for the blood of those aliens. Compared with that, can our ground forces face tens of thousands of greenskins, coal-fired?”
Alanbair looked at the dark starry sky that can only be seen on the top floor of the hive. “It’s night, as dark as a dense forest. When it’s day, reinforced concrete will replace the forest, and new soldiers will replace old soldiers. The greenskin battlefield will never change.” The captain knew that battle and knew what he was talking about. It was completely different from Gondwa VI. Partoria had stronger defenses, a better economy, more people, and no plants or strange magnetic fields. But for the Imperial Guard, the battlefield was a battlefield. It was the same as Gondwa VI. No matter if they were in the world of the Empire or faced greenskin aliens, they had never changed. Therefore, he would win. The captain stroked his beard and looked at the greenskin battleship approaching. “It’s clear, Lieutenant Colonel of the 4th Regiment of Skadi, the damn Imperial Guard officer, if I fail, he will start the engine to leave that star zone and look for the Imperial fleet, but it will take decades, and I have always believed that he is the only hope for that war.” “He doesn’t want to leave like a deserter. He watched the destruction of the Bakka base, just like I saw the disappearance of a place like Cadia, which is completely unacceptable and makes people feel extremely painful.” “That universe is too terrible and evil. He needs me to ignite the miracle again. In return, I will see the greenskinned warships turn into fireworks outside the atmosphere.” Alan Baier replied. “He knows, Captain, he will complete the mission, very likely, Cadia, stand firm…” “She is always in their hearts, pressing the traitors. She is Abaddon’s nightmare, the thing he wants to destroy the most, and thousands of Cadia men and women are the heavy nails that lock the traitors in the desperate eye of fear. Even if she is gone, the Empire will remember her.”
The captain sighed, feeling the touch of his heart rolling, and then he remembered something. “Isn’t Cadia fine?”
Alanbair scratched his head. No, it’s the end of the 40th millennium now, and the 13th Dark Crusade is not coming…
“Well, how to say it, he assumes that everything in that universe can happen.”
The captain cursed. “Cadia will not be destroyed, I don’t talk nonsense, go to the ground to stop the greenskins!”
Alanbair watched Ryan leave just now, and the transport plane took the entire Imperial Guard Infantry Regiment away, and he also replied. “The war has begun again, those aliens will never let them go, Captain, let them pay with blood.”
The captain replied. “It’s the Emperor.”
Alanbair replied. “No, Emperor.”
After the communication ended, Alanbair told the staff to start the mobilization. The companies walked in the transport plane in an orderly manner. Alanbair had long predicted that the complex terrain outside the hive city would make the war tense. He was ready to bomb the hive city composed of the empire’s citizens and countless wealth with missile vehicles.
The transport plane roared forward, and several tracked suspension vehicles of the 113th Armored Regiment of Fraxia were hung by the transport plane and flew to the South Pole.
The orcs finally approached the atmosphere by inertia. In the low-Earth orbit, Blood Axe walked excitedly in the airdrop chamber, and then skillfully cushioned his body with fart spirits as a buffer zone.
The other greenskins followed suit. It must be said that the fart spirits of the Snakebite Clan are not only smarter than those of other clans, but also walk much softer.
Blood Axe twisted his butt and asked. “How many airdrops were there that time?”
The technical boy next to him answered. “Four thousand, there are probably two big ones.”
And those tattered airdrop pods can carry hundreds of orcs each, and the big ones may even contain war weapons of the Snakebite Clan…
Blood Axe was determined to win the war, and 40,000 orcs fell like raindrops in a moment. The dense airdrop pods approached the spires, the dark steel forest, and the nest deep in the clouds. The main nest’s close-in defense guns and anti-aircraft guns roared…
Blood Axe was not afraid of being hit. As a commander, his airdrop armor was very thick, but the others would burst instantly.
Blood Axe estimated that the number of landings might be halved, but it would still be enough to take the nest. He grinned and laughed happily, and asked to control the main tower of the entire nest and turn off the anti-ship light spears. In this case, the greenskins had no warships to support the garbage guns…
He had seen the faces of the shrimps struggling!
But the communicator roared unexpectedly. “Boss! Those battleships! They’re exposed!”
“What, how come?” Blood Axe answered in surprise, but the main tower fired a fierce anti-ship light spear towards the low-Earth orbit, and light and death passed through his airdrop chamber, evaporating about three or four thousand greenskins at the same time…
In the sky, the battleship he had just boarded fell eastward with thick smoke, and in the east of the hive, those shrimps seemed to be wearing military uniforms?
It seems that the situation is a bit good?
