Chapter 55: The Orbit Descends
"Here they are."
On an astrological platform in the Golden Palace, Su Ziyu slowly opened his eyes, he glanced at the blonde angel not far away, nodded slightly, and then turned to Empress Isabella behind him and said, "The frontal battlefield will be handed over to you." ”
"Hmm. Leave it to us. Empress Isabella nodded resolutely, and then a figure wearing 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 military system of the Empire, and his existence is equivalent to a hole card, which will only be launched when necessary, giving the Orc a fatal blow. Empress Isabella is the best person to command, and only she can fully mobilize the entire empire's army, and Su Ziyu can't be too far away from the Golden Palace in this battle, because he must enter the Psychic Harmony Center when the situation is critical.
Empress Isabella glanced back at Su Ziyu, then put down her cold mask and turned to walk to the square in the distance.
A large number of troops have been gathered there, almost all the main forces of the empire have been transferred, and all the imperial cities have been blocked, because most of the empire's cities are built underground, which is equivalent to a natural shelter, as long as the outer defense system is not breached, then the safety of the civilians inside does not have to worry for the time being.
One passage after another is opened.
As Empress Isabella boarded the Titan-class main battleship Queen, tens of thousands of warplanes also took to the skies.
The ground forces had already been assembled on the surface, and the army of more than a million men was divided into twelve legions, which were deployed near all the important cities of the empire, and the defensive front was tens of thousands of kilometers. They couldn't pinpoint where the Orks would be their first target, but Imperial forces with orbital launch technology could send the supporting Space Marines to any corner of the planet in thirty minutes.
"Her Majesty."
"The forces in outer space have lost contact." An icy electronic sound sounded.
Empress Isabella nodded silently when she heard this, her expression was slightly bitter, the civilization route of the empire is developing by leaps and bounds, and they who accepted the legacy of the ancient lost empire directly entered the interstellar era from the medieval civilization, which also led to their technology tree being incomplete, not climbing up step by step.
Under normal circumstances, the Empire could have spent thousands of years replenishing these tech trees, but before they could do so, they suffered a terrible defeat.
The failure of psionic ascension directly led to a huge fault in the empire's tech tree.
The main fault point is that in terms of the corresponding interstellar navigation technology, they are completely incapable of building new starships, which leads to their complete loss of the ability to fight a tough battle with the Orcs in outer space.
But fortunately, in this crystal wall system, there are two other races that don't like outer space combat at all, and on the contrary, they like to actively seek landing operations.
These two races are the Zerg and the Orcs.
The Zerg's ability to fight on the ground is quite strong, and the flying troops must be in a planetary environment to exert their most powerful strength. The reproduction and energy source of the insect swarm must rely on the resources of the planet, and once a protracted war breaks out in the environment of outer space, the insect swarm without sufficient energy supply will be greatly affected.
Therefore, the first wave of the swarm 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 Eldarits, but they haven't been seen for thousands of years.
They were directly hammered by the Orc Empire once during the Golden Age, and the Orc army forcibly advanced in an almost barbaric way, forcing it into the interior of the Elven planet, and then the endless orc troops directly bulldozed the Elven stronghold.
in the sky.
The number of flaming meteors falling from the sky is almost incalculable, and even in broad daylight, you can still see the meteor shower that obscures the sky.
This is the main fleet of orcs in orbit, and their warships are not directly inside the planet.
It seems that because of the fear of certain existences, the orcs took the lead in launching a tentative offensive.
But even if it was just a tentative offensive, judging from the incalculable number of orbital modules in the sky, the Orcs had invested more than a million troops!
"Prepare to fight back!"
The figure of Empress Isabella stood in the captain's room, and the projections of the entire system appeared in the hundreds of command rooms at the same time.
With her order, tens of thousands of missile units began to operate frantically on this front, which stretched for hundreds of kilometers, one by one the dusty missile silos were opened, and a large number of missile units used radar to lock on to the target.
More than 200,000 surface-to-air missiles were launched almost simultaneously!
In the first wave of exploratory attacks, Empress Isabella did not directly use nuclear weapons, but used conventional missiles to test the strength of a wave of enemies.
Thundered!
The sound of explosions covering the sky continued, everyone stared nervously at the projection screen, the continuous explosion seemed to ignite a grand fireworks in the sky, and all the missiles launched almost hit the target perfectly, but before they could show happy expressions, the next second they saw the picture made them stand in place.
The meteor-like orbital modules are still descending rapidly.
Although it crudely looked like a gigantic iron coffin, the missiles fired had little effect on them.
"Replay!"
The footage in the command room was played again, and under the careful observation of the others, they saw the moment the missiles exploded, and on those rough and rudimentary iron bumps, an invisible energy force field appeared, which directly and completely isolated the damage of these missiles, and could not shake them at all.
"WAAAGH Force Field! ......" muttered a bitter smile on the corner of a forty-something officer's mouth.
The orc is still the same orc.
But the empire is not what it once was.
Inside the battleship Queen, Empress Isabella seemed to have anticipated everything in front of her, her expression did not change at all, she just clenched her hands into fists and said in a condensed voice: "Everything is according to plan. ”
"Prepare your laser weapons!"
"The electromagnetic railgun is starting to charge!"
The first wave of attacks was almost completely ineffective, and it was clear that only more powerful energy attacks could break through the Oak Orc's WAAAGH field.
Airplanes.
With Empress Isabella's order, there was a buzzing tremor on the defense line of the imperial army, and a faint blue light began to emerge, accompanied by a huge convergence of electromagnetic energy, and in an instant, thousands of energy beams directly pierced the sky.
Rumble!
Rumble!
Rumble!
Explosions sounded one after another, and on the holographic projection screen, the orbital modules of the orcs exploded one after another, turning into brilliant fireworks.
"The attack works!"
"Keep charging! Kill them all! ”
There was a cheer from the command room.
But they weren't happy for long, there was a loud noise on the ground not far away, as if it was an earthquake to kick up a cloud of dust, a huge iron bump with a diameter of about twenty meters and a length of about fifty meters had fallen from the sky, and with a bang, with the heavy hatch being opened, a group of extremely strong green-skinned giants had rushed out of the orbital module, their bodies were equipped with all kinds of mechanical armor, and they were holding extremely heavy rocket launchers in their hands, and as soon as they appeared, they were pouring out artillery fire in the sky.
“WAAAGH!!!”
Under the protection of this group of green-skinned giants, a slightly smaller orc jumped out, its muscles were far less strong than other orcs, but its eyes showed a hint of cunning, only to see it pick up a somewhat strangely shaped firearm, the gun was also inlaid with some kind of energy crystal, with the green-skinned boy pulling the trigger, and in an instant, a beam of light came and aimed at the Thunderbird fighter in the distance.
Space warps.
There was a strange ripple shock in the space around the Thunderbird fighter, and in the next second, the Thunderbird fighter exploded instantly, turning into a huge fireball and falling into the sky.
"Dimensional Concussion Gun! ……”
"It's an orc psyker! ......" An old man said in a deep voice in the command room.
The sudden downing of the Thunderbird did not cause any panic among the Imperial troops, and with a large number of guns shifting targets, dozens of shells were aimed at the orbital module that landed first in the distance.
Boom Boom!
In the rising flames of the explosion, these orcs who rushed out were directly overwhelmed by the artillery fire, and in the blink of an eye, only a piece of minced meat remained.
Bang.
Almost at the same time that these orcs were overwhelmed by artillery fire, another orbital module fell from the sky, this time it descended directly on the Empire's defensive line, and the heavy orbital module instantly crushed the heavy tank to pieces, and then with a muffled sound, dozens of green-skinned orcs rushed over.
“WAAAGH!!!”
When the roar of the orcs rang out, the nearby heavily armed astral army immediately poured out a terrible metal storm, countless bullets completely submerged the green-skinned orcs, but these bullets only left shallow bullet marks on their bodies, and the bullet storm that was enough for humans to sweep their entire bodies into pieces only hit them hard.
Rumble!
The visible wave of air spread like a shock wave, and a spiderweb-like crack appeared on the hard ground, extending out for more than thirty meters, and the central position had completely collapsed into a pit.
After those orc boys attracted the first wave of firepower, a green-skinned giant with a height of nearly seven meters in the orbital module rushed out.
Flash of fire!
The figure of this green-skinned giant flew a distance of nearly two hundred meters, and directly appeared in front of the soldier wearing a heavy exoskeleton, accompanied by WAAAGH's roar, he threw a punch for no reason, and instantly knocked the figure of this heavy exoskeleton warrior fifty meters away.
There were exaggerated dent marks on the incomparably hard exoskeleton alloy steel, and the Astral Army soldiers inside were probably more than lucky, and there was no movement after landing, only wisps of blood seeping out of the armor.
A sawtooth blade more than three meters long ejected from the armor attached to the green-skinned giant's body, and it roared and rushed towards the heavy tank in front of it, a jump and a distance of tens of meters, and the moment it landed, it smashed into the heavy tank like a cannonball.
The dark red serrated blade sliced directly through the tank in front of it, and with a rumbling explosion, its figure leaped out of the rising flames and swooped directly at the next target.
“WAAAGH!!!”
A hazy light distorted around the green-skinned giant's body, and the bullets hit it as if it were tickling, and with its roar, the green-skinned orcs that had successfully landed around it seemed to have entered a state of rage in an instant.
The WAAAGH force field emanating from these orcs exhibited some kind of strange frequency synchronization, which was further strengthened in a resonant way.
Meanwhile.
In the Golden Palace, Su Ziyu looked at the green-skinned giant that appeared on the holographic projection, and the expression of the whole person instantly became solemn.
"So strong?"
"Hulk is nothing more than that, right?" Su Ziyu's face was a little ugly, in the holographic projection, the green-skinned giant was almost rampage within the Empire's defense line, no one could stop its pace, tearing the tank with his bare hands was nothing, it could even hit the super-large exoskeleton mecha head-on.
This is the Orc boss unit.
To make matters worse, as more and more orbital modules descend, there is far more than one such orc leader, and there are more than a dozen targets captured on the holographic projection alone.
If they were allowed to run rampant within the line, the entire Astral Army's defenses would be in shambles.
Inside the command room.
A man in his thirties with a serious expression stood up, dressed like a nobleman, and after leaning slightly towards Empress Isabella, he said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty! ”
"Let my knights take care of them."
These orc leaders are not at all able to be fought against by mortal strength, even with heavy exoskeleton armor, because there is no terrifying mobility of the other party, the bodies of these orc leaders have been strengthened to an incredible extent, and the WAAAGH force field around the body is enough to block most of the cannon fire.
"It's not time yet."
"Keep the Knights and Space Marines on standby." Empress Isabella shook her head slowly.
This is just a tentative attack by the Orcs.
If this requires the dispatch of the Empire's most elite knights and space marines, then this battle will not be fought at all.
"Dreadnought!"
"Get ready to attack!" A cold order was given.
In the holographic projection screen, I instantly saw silver-white hatches open, and then dull footsteps came, and a heavy mecha with a respect of nearly 12 tons appeared on the battlefield.
"Flame Leap!"
The reactor inside the dreadnought instantly increased its output power, and a blazing fire appeared behind these heavy mechs, and then their figures soared into the air, directly flying thousands of kilometers away, like cannonballs falling from the sky, directly around those green-skinned giants.
"Power Sword!"
With a buzzing sound, power swords forged from dark blue metal ricocheted from the arms of the dreadnought mechs, and visible electromagnetic beams converged on the unopened blade.
The green-skinned giants stopped their furious onslaught, their eyes narrowed slightly, and their gaze fell on the dreadnought mechs around them.
These huge iron bumps already made them feel a hint of danger in their battle-hardened bodies.
And.
Unlike the heavy exoskeleton soldiers who were easily dealt with earlier, these dreadnoughts are too agile to move. Conventional heavy exoskeleton armor is difficult to even do with a tumbling action, but these dreadnought mechs can span thousands of kilometers and use the balance of their bodies to unload the impact at the moment they land.
"Are the electrical nerve bundles connected?"
Su Ziyu's gaze also fell on these dreadnought mechas, the pilots inside were all the most elite astral troops, and electronic nerve bundles were implanted in the parts where their spines were connected to their brains, which were directly connected to the neuromagnetic force field of the dreadnought mechas.
In other words, this massive mecha is an extension of their body.
Although the price for them to gain this power is also heavy.
