"Here they come."
On an astrological platform in the Golden Palace, Su Ziyu slowly opened his eyes. He glanced at the blond angel not far away, nodded slightly, then turned to Queen Isabella behind him and said: "Front The battlefield is left to you.”
"Yes. Leave it to us." Queen Isabella nodded resolutely, and then a figure wearing a blood-red interstellar armor floated down from the second floor.
It is impossible for Su Ziyu to take over the command of the imperial army. He is not familiar with the imperial military system. His existence is equivalent to a trump card. He will only be activated when necessary to give the Orcs a fatal blow. Queen Isabella is the best commander, and only she can fully mobilize the entire empire's army. Su Ziyu cannot be too far away from the Golden Palace for this battle, because when the situation is critical, he must enter the psychic synchronization center.
Queen Isabella looked back at Su Ziyu, then put down her cold mask and turned towards the square in the distance.
A huge number of troops have been gathered there, almost all the main forces of the empire have been mobilized, and all the cities of the empire have been sealed off, because most of the cities of the empire are built underground, which is equivalent to a natural refuge. As long as the outer defense system is not breached, there is no need to worry about the safety of the civilians inside.
Channels were opened one after another.
As Queen Isabella boarded the Titan-class battleship Queen, tens of thousands of fighter planes also took off.
The ground troops have already been assembled on the surface. The army of more than one million people is divided into twelve legions and is deployed near all important cities in the empire. The defensive front is tens of thousands of kilometers long. They were unable to determine where the Orks' first attack target would be, but the Imperial forces with orbital launch technology could land supporting Space Marines anywhere on the planet within thirty minutes.
"Her Majesty the Queen."
"The troops in outer space have lost contact." A cold electronic sound sounded.
Queen Isabella nodded silently when she heard this, with a slightly bitter look on her expression. The empire's civilization route was a leap forward. Accepting the legacy of the ancient lost empire, they directly entered the interstellar era from the ancient civilization, which also led to their The technology tree is not complete and does not climb up step by step.
Under normal circumstances, the empire could have spent thousands of years completing these technology trees, but before they had time to do so, they suffered a terrible failure.
The failure of psychic ascension directly led to a huge gap in the empire's technology tree.
The main fault is that in terms of corresponding interstellar navigation technology, they are completely unable to build new interstellar battleships, which also leads to them completely losing the ability to fight a tough battle with the Orcs in outer space.
Fortunately, in this crystal wall system, there are still two races that do not like outer space combat at all. On the contrary, they like to actively seek landing operations.
These two races are Zerg and Orcs.
The Zerg's ground combat capabilities are quite strong, and the flying troops must be at their strongest in a planetary environment. The reproduction and energy source of the insect swarm must rely on the planet's resources. Once a protracted war breaks out in the outer space environment, the insect swarm without sufficient energy supplement will be greatly affected.
Therefore, the first wave of the insect swarm's offensive often starts with a forced landing on the planet.
The Orcs are in a similar situation. They are quite confident in their ability to fight on the ground, and only in a planetary environment can they maximize their racial advantages.
The race that loves space combat the most is the legendary Eldar, but it has not been seen for thousands of years.
They were directly hammered by the Orc Empire once in the Golden Age. The Orc army forced its way in in an almost barbaric manner and inserted itself into the Eldar planet. Then the endless Orc troops directly bulldozed the Eldar base camp.
In the sky.
Meteors burning with flames fell from the sky one after another. Their number was almost impossible to count. Even in broad daylight, one could still see the meteor shower covering the sky.
This is the main fleet of the Orcs making an orbital descent, and their warships have not directly entered the interior of the planet.
Seemingly out of fear of certain existences, the orcs took the lead in launching a wave of exploratory offensives.
But even if it is just a tentative offensive, judging from the incalculable number of orbital modules in the sky, the Orcs have invested more than one million troops!
"Prepare a counterattack!"
The figure of Queen Isabella stood in the captain's room, and projections of the entire system appeared in hundreds of command rooms at the same time.
As her order was issued, tens of thousands of missile units began to operate frantically on this front that stretched for hundreds of kilometers. The dusty underground missile silos were opened one by one, and a large number of missile units locked targets with radars. A cold command was given, and the dust raised by the fire in an instant covered the entire battlefield.
More than 200,000 surface-to-air missiles were launched almost simultaneously!
In the first wave of probing attacks, Queen Isabella did not directly use nuclear weapons. Instead, she used conventional missiles to test the strength of the enemy.
Boom!
The sound of explosions that covered the sky continued, and everyone stared nervously at the projection screen. The continuous explosions seemed to light up a grand fireworks in the sky. All the missiles launched almost hit the target perfectly. But before they could show their happy expressions, what they saw in the next second made them freeze in place.
The orbital modules that looked like meteors were still falling rapidly.
Although it roughly looked like a huge iron coffin, the missiles launched had almost no impact on them.
"Screen replay!"
The scene in the command room was replayed. Under the careful observation of others, they saw the moment the missile exploded. An invisible energy field emerged on those rough and crude iron lumps, which directly and completely isolated them. The damage from the missiles cannot shake them at all.
"WAAAGH force field!..." A forty-year-old officer murmured with a bitter smile on his lips.
The orcs are still the same orcs.
But the empire is no longer the empire it once was.
In the battleship Queen, Queen Isabella seemed to have anticipated everything before her. Her expression did not change at all. She just clenched her hands into fists and said in a solemn voice: "Everything is going according to plan."
"Prepare laser weapons!"
"The electromagnetic railgun starts charging!"
The first wave of attacks was almost completely ineffective. It was obvious that only more powerful energy attacks could break through the Orcs' WAAAGH force field.
Buzz.
As Queen Isabella's order was issued, a buzzing sound was immediately heard from the imperial army's defense line, and streaks of faint blue light began to emerge. Along with the huge accumulation of electromagnetic energy, thousands of people were killed in an instant. The energy beam of the Tao pierced the sky directly.
boom!
boom!
boom!
Explosions sounded one after another, and on the holographic projection screen, the Orc's orbital modules exploded one after another, turning into bright fireworks.
"The attack works!"
"Keep charging! Kill them all!"
There was a burst of cheers in the command room.
But before they were happy for long, there was a loud noise on the ground not far away, and a cloud of sand and dust was stirred up like an earthquake. A huge iron lump with a diameter of about 20 meters and a length of about 50 meters fell from the sky. , with a hiss, as the heavy hatch was opened, a group of extremely sturdy green-skinned men rushed out of the orbital cabin. They were equipped with various mechanical armors and held extremely heavy weapons in their hands. The rocket launcher, as soon as it appeared, poured out a sky full of artillery fire forward.
"WAAAGH!!!"
Under the protection of these green-skinned giants, a slightly smaller orc jumped out. Its muscles were far less strong than the other orcs, but its eyes had a cunning light, and it was seen holding up a handful. It was a gun with a weird shape, and there was some kind of energy crystal inlaid on the top of the gun. As the green boy pulled the trigger, a beam of light struck in an instant and was aimed at the Thunderbird fighter in the distance.
Space is distorted.
A strange ripple appeared in the space around the Thunderbird fighter. The next second, the Thunderbird fighter exploded and turned into a huge fireball falling into the sky.
"Dimensional shock gun!..."
"It's the orc psyker!..." In the command room, an old man said in a low voice.
The sudden downing of the Thunderbird fighter did not cause any panic in the empire's army. Along with a large number of muzzle transfer targets, dozens of shells were aimed at the orbital module that landed first in the distance in the next second.
Boom boom boom!
In the rising flames of the explosion, the orcs who rushed out were directly submerged by the gunfire, and in the blink of an eye, only minced meat was left on the ground.
boom.
Almost at the same time that these orcs were overwhelmed by artillery fire, another orbital capsule fell from the sky. This time it landed directly within the empire's defense line. The heavy orbital capsule instantly crushed the heavy tank into pieces, and then there was a roar. Amidst the muffled sound, dozens more green-skinned orcs rushed over.
"WAAAGH!!!"
When the roar of the orcs sounded, the nearby heavy-armed Astra Militarum immediately poured out a terrifying metal storm. Countless bullets completely engulfed these green-skinned orcs, but these bullets only left a shallow mark on their bodies. There were shallow bullet marks. For humans, the bullet storm that was enough to shoot the entire body into pieces only severely damaged them.
boom!
The air waves visible to the naked eye spread like shock waves, and a spiderweb-like crack mark appeared on the hard ground, extending for more than thirty meters, and the center had completely collapsed into a pit.
After those orc boys attracted the first wave of firepower, a green-skinned giant nearly seven meters tall rushed out of the orbital cabin.
The fire suddenly appeared!
The green-skinned giant flew over a distance of nearly 200 meters and appeared directly in front of the soldiers wearing heavy-duty exoskeletons. With the roar of WAAAGH, he punched out unreasonably, instantly knocking out the heavy-duty exoskeleton. The figure of the skeletal warrior flew fifty meters away.
Exaggerated dent marks appeared on the extremely hard alloy steel of the exoskeleton. The Astra Militarum soldiers inside were probably in danger. There was no movement after landing, and only wisps of blood seeping out of the armor could be seen.
A serrated blade more than three meters long ejected from the armor installed on the green giant. It roared and rushed towards the heavy tank in front. It jumped a distance of tens of meters and landed on the ground. It was like a cannonball hitting this heavily armored tank.
The dark red serrated blade directly sliced open the tank in front of him. With a rumbling explosion, its figure leaped out among the rising flames and pounced directly on the next target.
"WAAAGH!!!"
There was a hazy light distortion around the green-skinned giant's body. Those bullets hitting its body were like being tickled. Along with its roar, the entire battlefield was resounding. The green-skinned orcs who had successfully landed around seemed to have entered a violent state in an instant. .
The WAAAGH force field emitted by these orcs has some strange frequency synchronization, and is further strengthened in a resonance manner.
at the same time.
In the Golden Palace, Su Ziyu looked at the green-skinned giant that appeared on the holographic projection, and his expression instantly became serious.
"So strong?"
"The Hulk is nothing more than that, right?" Su Ziyu's face looked a little ugly. In the holographic projection, the green giant was almost running rampant within the empire's defense line. No one could stop its pace. It could no longer tear apart the tank with its bare hands. No matter what, it can even hit a super large exoskeleton mecha head-on.
This is the leader unit (BOSS) of the Orcs.
What's worse is that as more and more orbital modules arrive, there is far more than one such orc leader. There are more than ten targets captured on the holographic projection alone.
If they are allowed to rampage within the lines, the entire Astra Militarum defense line will become riddled with holes.
In the command room.
A man in his thirties with a serious expression stood up. He was dressed like a noble. After leaning slightly towards Queen Isabella in front of him, he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty the Queen!"
"Let the knights under my command deal with them."
These orc leaders cannot be resisted by mortals at all, even with heavy exoskeleton armor, because they do not have the terrifying mobility of their opponents. The bodies of these orc leaders have been strengthened to an incredible level. The WAAAGH force field is enough to block most artillery fire.
"not the right time yet."
"Let the Knights and Space Marines be on standby." Queen Isabella shook her head slowly.
This was just a probing attack from the Orcs.
If this requires dispatching the empire's most elite knights and space warriors, then there is no need to fight this battle at all.
"Dreadnought Mecha!"
"Prepare to attack!" A cold order was issued.
In the holographic projection screen, silver-white hatches were instantly seen opening, and then dull footsteps were heard, and a heavy-duty mecha weighing nearly 12 tons appeared on the battlefield.
"Flame Leap!"
The reactors inside the fearless mechas instantly increased their output power, and blazing fire appeared behind these heavy mechas. Then their figures rose into the air, flying directly over a distance of thousands of meters, like cannonballs. Falling from the sky, they appeared directly around those green-skinned giants.
"Power sword!"
With a buzzing sound, power swords made of dark blue metal were ejected from the arms of the Dreadnought mechas, and electromagnetic beams visible to the naked eye converged on the unopened sword blade.
The green-skinned giants stopped their violent offensive. They narrowed their eyes slightly and focused on the fearless mechas around them.
These huge iron lumps have given them a sense of danger after having experienced many battles.
and.
Unlike the heavily armored exoskeleton soldiers that were easily dealt with earlier, the movements of these fearless mechas are really too flexible. It is difficult for conventional heavy-duty exoskeleton armor to even perform a tumbling action, but these fearless mechas can span distances of thousands of meters and use their body balance to remove the impact the moment they land.
"Electronic bundle connection?"
Su Ziyu's eyes also fell on these Dreadnought Mechas. The pilots inside were all the most elite Astra Militarum troops. Electronic nerve beams were implanted at the connection between their spines and brains, which were directly connected to the Dreadnought Mechas. A neuromagnetic force field.
In other words, this huge mecha is an extension of their bodies.
Although the price they paid for this power was also heavy.
