Warhammer: I am the Hammer of the Empire - #11 - Chapter 11 Garrison Mission
In the capital of Gondwa, the Astra Militarum resting in the church of Karu City did not rest for long. After lunch, there was no sound of the company commander making arrangements.
At present, the main goal of the Astra Militarum is to guard the starport in Karu City so that the continuous protection and support will not be interrupted. This will also mean that the Astra Militarum will face the attitude of most enemies.
Anyway, losing the Empire’s hold on that world will not make things worse, but fighting a war of attrition will definitely prevent the Astra Militarum from successfully defeating the enemy.
One hundred thousand people are worth 200,000, and two hundred thousand people are worth 400,000. Just try to defend that world.
Life may be nothing compared to the loss of surrendering the Emperor’s realm to the xenos…
When Alan Bair, the platoon leader, looked at the map presented above, there were a large number of dense forests around Karu City, and their current goal was to go to the reconnaissance base created by the Qianqi Army near Karu City.
When the orcs attack, they can warn large forces and delay the enemy’s attack. In other words, the main force will not be dispatched for the time being, and the dense forests in that world are huge, and there are no armored regiments and artillery regiments to cover them.
Alan Bair sighed, his regiment was destined to be cannon fodder…
The company commander saw his dissatisfaction and scolded him. “What am I doing?”
Alan Bayer packed up his bedding and asked his legs to carry the huge supply package, because they also had the intention of supporting the supply when they went to the outpost. “The entire army is dispatched, they are going to protect the No. 3 reconnaissance station in the south of the city!”
They left the outside of Karu City through the Chimera Transporter, passed through the complicated human city, and saw countless statues praising the emperor and heroes, driving from the upper floor to the east floor. When they really stepped on the ground, they realized Why not allocate armored forces.
The fallen leaves, or the overflowing ferns, rotted and collapsed, were as thick as the terrible radiation snow left behind by the snowstorm on the outskirts of their home city of Cadiz, which was as high as a person.
John East couldn’t help complaining. “Oh my god, are those things? Are plants so disgusting?”
Kellan also held his own machine gun high with his legs. “I can’t see the nest, I don’t want to see it there!”
Alan Bayer used the bayonet on the butt of his gun to cut off the vines in the forest. The environment there was really too outrageous. Apparently most cars couldn’t drive. When he pushed aside a branch, it bounced back and hit the people behind. People, the complaints never stop coming.
The residents of the hive city have never seen the true appearance of the garden world, but the colonization of the empire is not like the star sea civilization in science fiction stories that can transform the huge forest into a truly livable place.
Moreover, the influence of many green skins there also caused the human defense to be imprisoned near Karu City, and the green skins were unable to completely clean up the humans there.
God knows how long that damn situation lasted, more than ten years? In a hundred years?
The sky-blocking ferns block the light, the complex and lush forest makes it difficult to move, and the large number of decaying ferns make the terrain there ridiculously bad.
The buzzing sound continued, and at first Alan Beyer thought it was just an ordinary insect until an insect as big as his fist flew towards his face.
He had to tilt his head back and wave the bayonet wildly. In fact, he was quite scared of that thing, especially the dragonfly-like compound eyes staring at him.
But the bug seemed to ignore his resistance and continued to circle around his head. When the bug flew past his ears, it buzzed like the engine of a Valkyrie transport plane.
Apparently finding nothing of interest, it soon flew away, flitting among dense mossy trees and hanging vines, initially hanging upside down in the dense forest.
“God Emperor, what is that…” John looked at the upside-down insect. People in the hive city will see too many new things tomorrow. They lack someone who is truly familiar with the forest…
What’s interesting is that in the extremely disgusting, radioactive and waste-filled air, which is constantly being recycled, those people are alive after eating the starch blocks recycled from the excrement on the ground floor.
Facing the “beautiful” forest environment, I actually felt at a loss.
The hot and humid environment quickly consumed their physical strength, especially the three tough men in the heavy weapons team and the supply soldiers carrying a large amount of supplies, because the thick rotten vegetation was like swamp coal hanging around their waists.
People’s spirits are highly tense, and they are in a strange environment. Without the leadership of veterans, they only have a compass and a general direction. This is also the main reason why the Astra Militarum recruits died. The local environment of the planet is terrible.
When Alan Bair saw the sign pointing the way for the local Astra Militarum, it was covered with vines in the forest and had a sign in High Gothic. Going forward, there should be the outpost. There should be two platoons inside. soldiers are waiting for their support.
“Almost there.” Alan Bairdong lowered his voice and shut up consciously. Although the sounds of animals in the forest were bustling and the sounds of ferns colliding with each other were constant, he still did so.
I don’t know if that behavior touched the spirit of the hive city residents, but one of the soldiers suddenly couldn’t help shouting.
“Enter the enemy! Fifty yards to the west!”
The soldiers had done countless enemy engagement trainings, maybe thirty times if not fifty, but now they were in a mess. Not to mention whether the reporting point of fifty yards to the west was really a mess, but whether the recruits could respond. I don’t know whether it’s going to the southeast, northwest, or east.
None of the identification goals, report types and characteristics emphasized by the instructor were achieved.
A moment later, a chaotic beam of light was fired in the forest. With a whooshing sound, the heat of the laser ignited, scorching the fern trees and leaving dark bullet holes.
Alan Baier felt terrible and was about to shout, but someone got there first.
“Cease fire! Everyone, stop fire!” John shouted at the anxious team to stop. The recruits were panting, and many of them had already fired a battery-powered beam, and the so-called enemy was falling from the treetops.
That was a dark green animal with three eyes, like a house cat.
Alan Baier walked to it and blamed the yelling recruit. “Is that the enemy I’m talking about?” The recruit hesitated. “At least it’s green…”
The farce finally ended, and Alanbair felt even more desperate. Such a thing would happen in Shenhuang Ruomudong…
“It’s a good thing I didn’t hit my teammates. If I hit one of my own, he would doubt your loyalty without hesitation and then give me a shot.”
Kekeke has been with the political commissar for a long time, and his tone makes people believe it. The group walked forward honestly for a long time before seeing a flat land in the distance of the forest.
There was an outpost in the style of the Star Army, trenches, barbed wire, battle fortresses, and a two-story building with a big 3 written on it. There were heavy guns and veterans installed.
Alanbair raised the flag with the Star Army logo drawn on it that was distributed in advance and waved it.
