Chapter 10 Guerrilla warfare
However, the situation on the planet left everyone dumbfounded.
All the houses were blown up by dynamite, the steel bars twisted into clumps of thin noodles, the surrounding mining mechs turned to powder, and the shards of steel were swept around by the wind.
The underground mine 'holes' that originally extended in all directions, including the mines above, have now all been blown up by high-energy explosives, and the mine 'holes' have been firmly sealed, and the mountains above may collapse twice at any time, and unless hundreds of millions of cubic meters of earthwork are carried out, they no longer have the value of mining.
Not to mention the serious nuclear radiation and electromagnetic interference that the soldiers felt as soon as they got off the spacecraft, and even the military electronic equipment and air circulation system were a little unable to resist, would the miners be asked to wear military supplies in the future?
That's too much to cost, isn't it...... An even more important problem is that the miners are all gone.
"What, what did you say?"
On the command ship "Sandbank", a drop of cold sweat oozed from Shabak's shiny forehead.
Shabak was a 'fine' burly man, and his oily forehead made him look like a rock, dry and stable.
But now the rocks are also 'messed up'.
"Report to the captain, all the miners are gone." There was also a hint of strangeness in his subordinates' voices, and he remembered the legend of the ghost pirate.
The situation has been wrong since the beginning of entering the wilderness, and the wreckage of the transport ships is scattered everywhere, which is even more frustrating for the soldiers who have just come from the front line and fought to the death against the regular army of the four star fields. Despite the best efforts of their superiors to stop it, the legend of the ghost pirate gradually spread among the soldiers, and gradually became more and more terrifying. This legend naturally added the element of the "undead people", the sworn enemies of the Holy See, and in the end, it was rumored that their enemy turned into "the dark lord of the universe with thousands of white bones".
To some extent, this speculation is not entirely unfounded.
At least, the fighting ahead has not ended within a month, as the Holy See top brass said, but has been going on for more than half a year, without seeing a glimmer of victory.
Doesn't this mean that there is a very powerful enemy who is secretly working against the Holy See?
What's more, a mysterious enemy has run out of their rear...... Morale is declining irretrievably.
And now, there is such a strange thing on the mining planet, all the miners are gone.
"Maybe it was killed by nuclear radiation and the collapse of the mine." Shabak judged.
"We've been carefully checked, Captain." The subordinate voice trembled slightly, "But no body has been found anywhere, and the results of the bio-energy radar detection show no signs of biological decay even in the deepest part of the mine 'hole' collapse." All the people on this planet have all disappeared for no reason. ”
"'Bastard'! These damn alien ***, actually, actually! ”
Shabak finds himself caught in a subtle trap. His mission is not only to eradicate pirates, but also to get the mines back up and running.
His army is followed by a convoy directly subordinate to the Holy See's own convoy, and when he settles down the situation, he will directly begin to accept all the mining stars and collect all the resources into the possession of the Holy See.
However, in any case, the mine star requires the hard work of slaves to produce resources, and now there are no slaves, even if they accept it, what if they accept it?
Not to mention that damn pollution!
Shabak was like a boxer who threw his fist violently, but he felt extremely uncomfortable when he found that his whole body was swept away by it.
He only hoped that this would be a very isolated phenomenon.
Shabak soon discovered that this was just an unrealistic fantasy, and that the situation before him was definitely not just an accident, but a very comprehensive retreat.
Searching three large resource planets, no trace of a half-orc was found, and all the mining areas were the same as the first planet, useful equipment was completely destroyed, and the mine 'holes' were heavily contaminated.
After analysis, it was found that the type of explosives used by the other party was exactly the same, and the methods of burying the explosives were also very similar, so it can be seen that the same group of people must have done it.
Shabak's eyes were red, like a hungry tiger full of anger but unable to find a place to vent, and he believed that if he found the enemy, he would be able to completely destroy that army in half an hour, and even a single screw would be turned into molten iron!
Now, however, where is the enemy?
There has been a 'commotion' and 'chaos' among the soldiers, and although Shabak tried his best to suppress the soldiers and strictly forbid the soldiers to discuss the uninhabited planet, it instead 'provoked' the uneasiness of the soldiers at the bottom.
Those soldiers who entered the unmanned mine star exaggerated everything they saw, and said that those mine stars were like a ghost domain, and the morale was originally very low, which made it even worse.
What's more, even the most unbelieving soldiers understand that to win a war you need resources, and resources need orc miners to dig them up.
Now that there are not even half miners, how can the resources obediently run from the center of the earth to the surface and then be transported to the arsenal of the Holy See?
Thankfully, after searching more than thirty planets and spending five days, the radar of the Shabak fleet finally found traces of life on the surface of the mining planet ahead.
Although it was only a barren planet of the third rank, Shabak could not manage that much. Just in case, he sent up to two squads of a hundred armed mech-armed landing craft to the land of this planet.
However, when the knights marched to the mines, they felt as if they were in the middle of a real horror movie.
Dozens of terrifying mechs shouted and ran towards them, all of them covered with thick energy armor, surging with colorful and strange 'color' tones, and the mecha knights were holding huge war hammers or battle axes, like a group of barbarians who were not afraid of death and sprinted at an astonishing speed!
The papal knights were horrified to find that after the weapon in their hands 'shot' the opponent's armor, it had no effect at all except for causing a wave of energy flow!
And even if it is 'shot' through the body through the joints and other parts, it doesn't seem to have the slightest effect on damage.
The bloodthirsty enemy rushed into the knights even more frantically!
This is a one-sided ***, the fragile nerves of the Holy See soldiers were completely crushed by this last straw, and the ghosts of the undead seemed to emerge from the ground, completely unable to resist in the face of this inhuman force, and could only flee in all directions.
Each mech is destroyed by the most brutal methods of the mad enemy, including the pilot inside, blood and entrails roll down on the desolate and barren land, nourishing the insects and plants deep underground.
Before the last knight was smashed, he seemed to see through the transparent panel of the enemy's cockpit the ugly and murderous face inside, two sharp fangs betraying the enemy's identity.
"Half-half-orc!"
On the Sandbank, Shabak and a group of staff members silently watched the entire battle through the monitor, until finally those guys took off their mechs and vigorously waved the big 'stick' in their hands and roared into the sky.
It's clear they're in trouble, very big trouble. The guys in the four star fields don't know what kind of technology they have researched, and they actually make the mentally handicapped orcs able to drive mechas.
But - why were orcs able to learn to fight so quickly? Mecha is a very advanced knowledge, and it is definitely not something that can be mastered after just one or two days of training, and the soldiers of the Holy See have all mastered the mystery after more than ten years of hard work, not to mention those orcs with low IQs.
Shabak didn't know that there were still mechs in the world that could directly convert instinct into combat effectiveness.
After thinking about it, he ordered the heavily armed forces to be dispatched.
Heavy weapons include ground assault ships, which are designed to suppress ground targets from atmospheric heights during ground operations.
High-explosive and thermobaric shells are usually used, which are capable of raising the temperature within the attack range to thousands of degrees Celsius in an instant.
However, the mine 'hole' did the orcs a great favor.
The mine 'hole' thousands of meters deep is the best refuge, and even the most powerful bombs cannot penetrate into such a position, as long as enough food and water are stored underneath, the orcs can hold out for at least half a year.
Shabak felt a headache splitting, and a tiny orc seemed to be slamming into his brain, trying to crack his skull open from within...... If the purpose is completely destruction, then the planetary nuclear weapon can be used to completely destroy the planet.
However, the goal now is resources! If you destroy the planet, won't you destroy it along with the resources on it?
After searching hundreds of planets in a row, Shabak's face became more and more ugly - there was not even half a beast 'hair' on those large resource planets, and all the mining areas were polluted, and on the barren mining planets, a group of crazy barbarians who seemed to have stimulants were waiting for them, these barbarians had no tactics at all, but rushed up to engage in 'hand-to-hand' combat with a bloody bravery.
