The priest and the captains all looked at Opal.
They remained silent, awaiting the Chapter Master's next words.
The Chapter Master is the soul of a Chapter, and other warriors must have absolute respect and obedience towards him.
The Chapter Master of the Silver Skulls is always the strongest warrior in the entire chapter, the one who charges at the front and possesses strategy.
Every brother in the chapter also supports it from the bottom of their hearts.
"I will take some of my brothers to rescue those oppressed miners and let them hide in a safe place. Some of my brothers will stay on the warship to be alert to possible accidents. After receiving the order that the rescue is completed, the fleet will immediately launch orbital bombardment to flatten all the orc fortresses."
Opal looked at his brothers and stated his proposal.
After saying this, he placed his armor-covered fist on his chest.
"The Silver Skull Chapter will never forget the teachings of the Primarch. We fight for humanity, we fight for the Holy Emperor, and we fight for the Lord of Ultramar. Protection is our duty and oath. We will give selfless salvation to the weak and give our enemies the wrath of destruction."
The think tank, the pastor, and the company commanders looked at each other and nodded, indicating that they agreed with the proposal.
"Now that everything has been approved, let's make a sufficiently detailed plan and try to save as many people as possible in the fastest time." Opal looked at the holographic projection and clicked his fingers on the built-in sensing module continuously.
"The Orks' space combat capability is not strong. We will be able to wipe them out quickly." The Think Tank expressed his opinion. "Our fleet is far stronger than theirs. There is no way we can lose this void war."
"This is our advantage, but it is not something to be proud of. The real difficulty lies on the ground. The orcs are stupid and powerful, just like the psoriasis of the galaxy, which can never be cleared away. The orcs' buildings may look rough, but their lethality should not be underestimated. They are likely to cause a large number of casualties on our side."
The priest pointed to the crude, aesthetically pleasing buildings in the projection of the planet's surface.
The buildings were full of guns and their exteriors were covered with all kinds of spikes.
Human beings would never adopt such crude and barbaric architecture.
Obviously, those buildings belonged to the orcs.
These guys have invaded human planets, made various modifications to them, and built war fortresses.
"Aren't we created and given power to fight against these abominations?" Opal said, "Those captured humans are basically imprisoned in mines to mine minerals for the orcs."
"Those mines are interconnected. From the thermal imaging and electromagnetic detection data, these mines are very deep. If there is an orbital bombardment, the survivors can go deep into them and survive."
"We have a total of 200 Primaris brothers. We can select 150 of them and divide them into 10 teams. Each team will be responsible for an important mine. After seizing the mine, we will let the survivors escape deep underground. In this way, most of the survivors can survive."
Everyone nodded in agreement at Opal's strategic arrangement, as there were no flaws in it.
"How do we determine the right time to launch orbital bombardment? If we delay too long, the orcs may hide underground," the think tank asked.
"Subject to my orders. If there are no orders, then launch an orbital bombardment in three hours. If there are no problems, then prepare yourselves. The space battle is expected to end in an hour, and then we will airdrop into the planet."
The think tank, the chaplain, and the company commanders performed the Sky Eagle salute and then turned and left.
The footsteps of the crowd gradually faded away, and only the Chapter Master Opal stood alone in front of the slowly rotating image of the Yelia Galaxy.
He stared at the holographic projection, trying to see through all the secrets of this galaxy.
The device continuously focuses, emitting the unique mechanical sound of rotation and vibration, and showing the user all the strategic data collected.
Planetary topography, settlement maps, known military forces, and more.
Opal looked at this information, and his mind kept deducing possible emergencies and practical solutions that might arise on the battlefield.
After thinking for a long time, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
Blood surged through his majestic body, air flowed back and forth in his lungs at four times the speed of an ordinary person, and the breath he brought up seemed to carry the power of a tide.
Opal controlled his breathing rhythm, silently prayed to the Primarch and the Emperor, then walked out and headed for the drop deck.
In the control room of the Silver Arrow battleship.
Navy General Yin Se was browsing the battlefield data. When the orc battle barges saw the arrival of the Imperial warships, they turned around and rushed towards the Imperial fleet.
As analyzed by Korvu and others, the space power possessed by the orcs in the Yelia galaxy is not strong.
A fleet of tattered battle barges, some oddly assembled small combat boats, and several space defense stations.
Orcs are violent and violent, and they want to destroy things all the time, which makes those things look tattered and even emit black smoke and electric sparks.
"What a terrible race." Looking at the images sent back by the augury instrument, Yin Se did not hide his disgust for the orcs.
These crude and clumsy orcs can always use their innate talents unexpectedly to assemble all kinds of machines that seem to be unusable.
This green race is like space vultures, searching space for any usable garbage.
Many of the Ork ships are Imperial abandoned fleets that have been repaired by the Mechanic Boys.
Sometimes, the Ork ships floated in the void, and the Empire could not tell whether they were wrecks or not.
There was black smoke, sparks, and it might even be on fire.
Such a ship looks like an abandoned ship no matter how you look at it, and it may explode at any time while being operated.
The orcs can use these ships to roam and plunder among the stars.
Yin Se used tactical holographic projection to observe the position of each orc battle barge and predict their possible battlefield reactions.
It is worth mentioning that the battlefield in space can only be displayed using holographic stereoscopic projection.
Space is three-dimensional. In addition to front, back, left, and right, there is also up and down, which is one more dimension than the sea surface.
This resulted in battles between warships being far more complicated than people imagined.
Every naval general who can command a space battle is a rare elite.
It is not an easy task to dispatch every warship on the complex battlefield and ensure that it can win as planned.
It is difficult for ordinary people to even sort out the information of the fleet, let alone command it.
In order to respond to the attack of the Imperial Fleet, the Orc Fleet deployed a front line full of loopholes.
Yin Se could tell at a glance that these orcs did not have a unified command.
Without a strong orc leader, the orc fleets are always in such chaos.
There are more than twenty orc battle barges, which is not a small number. Each one is equipped with a large number of cannons and light spear arrays.
Every usable space on the battle barge has been installed with weapons by the orcs.
In the orcs' simple understanding, the bigger and more artillery, the stronger it is.
Yin Se issued a battle order, "Use the spearhead tactics, divide and encircle them, and teach these damn greenskins a lesson."
The Imperial fleet launched an attack in unison, piercing the Orcs' crude space defenses like spears.
Such an engagement cannot be considered a battle; it is simply a one-sided crushing.
The Imperial fleet destroyed the Orks' only space force with ease.
One after another, the orcs' battle barges exploded silently in space.
The space station in low-Earth orbit was quickly reduced to ashes under the powerful firepower of the Imperial fleet.
Yin Se looked at the communications director who was connected to the console via a neural cable.
"Tell Chapter Master Opal that the Ork space forces have been cleared and he can implement his airborne plan."
