It is certainly entirely possible to take down any enemy with a powerful laser gun: this is the king of weapons.

- Imperial Ministry of War

...

Taiping Star Field, Radium Planet.

This is an important industrial world of the Empire, with countless manufacturing factories responsible for supplying the Imperial army with laser guns scattered throughout the planet's nest cities.

Laser guns are reliable, easy to maintain, and easy to produce, which has earned them the honor of being the standard weapon of the Astral Army.

Considering the innumerable number of soldiers in the Astral Army and the sheer size of the Empire, it can be said that the laser gun is probably the most common weapon in the Empire, with the exception of live guns and other broken metal used in the lower levels of the Nest. They can be seen in most imperial worlds.

As an industrial world that produces laser weapons, there are countless laser guns on the Radium Planet. This allows the inhabitants of the planet Radium to have enough weapons to fight the invaders.

When the orcs landed on the planet Radium on a ruined spaceship, countless Radium planetary defense troops and planet dwellers picked up the laser guns they had produced and began a battle with the orcs.

Although the scope of the Empire's revival expedition is currently limited to the solar starfield, the Empire will not allow the casting worlds or industrial worlds of other starfields to waste valuable production capacity by producing outdated weapons or equipment that will be replaced during this time.

Shortly after the Renaissance Expedition began, the Empire selected important worlds from other starfields and gave them some individual technologies. As the production of laser weapons, Radium Planet has obtained a detailed manufacturing information of better laser guns.

Therefore, the laser weapons currently held by the soldiers and residents of the radium planet are not the usual laser weapons of the Astral Army, which are nicknamed "flashlights". It's a new Empire laser weapon that is even better than the Helllaser Gun used by the Stormtroopers.

Not only is it more powerful, but it also concentrates fire more than a laser gun and penetrates light armor more easily, inflicting unique "complete" burns on the victim.

This high-powered, sustained laser firearm is affectionately known as the laser cutter by the soldiers who have used it. In the future, the Empire will gradually use them as the standard weapons of the Astral Army.

But the same weapon can exert different power in the hands of different people. Not to mention the inhabitants of Radium, those planetary defense forces on Radium cannot be compared to the elite Astral Army.

That's not to say they're not heroic enough or loyal enough. But objectively speaking, their training, physical fitness, and equipment are all quite different from those of the Astral Army. Of course, compared to the current Astral Army that has undergone the Imperial Military Reform.

In fact, as an important industrial world for the production of laser weapons, Radium itself has some Astral Army legions stationed here. The combat effectiveness of these astral armies is undoubtedly stronger than that of the planetary defense forces of the radium star, but the strength is limited, and it is not enough to be crushed by the combat power.

If compared with all the current astral armies, the combat effectiveness of the planetary defense force of Radium Light is more than that of many astral armies, and it is very different from many astral army legions. After all, their training is not bad, and their weapons are far better than those of many astral armies.

Coupled with the numerical advantage, it can be said that the planetary defense force of Radium Light is the strongest armed force of Radium Star now.

But the command of the strongest armed force of this radium star has long been handed over to the commander of the astral legion by the clever planetary governor. He understands that professional matters should be left to professional people to solve.

At the behest of the Celestial Commander, most of the troops were sent to one place to build fortifications.

By predicting the orbit of the orc ship, the Celestial Force commander was able to roughly determine where the ship would land.

These orcs had no idea of hiding their course. This gives the soldiers on Radium a lot of time to prepare.

Nearly sixty percent of the troops on Radium were deployed at the place where the orcs landed on the space ship, and these soldiers had already begun to build fortifications and defensive lines here before the orcs landed.

The commander of the Astral Army, who had experience in fighting with orcs, decided to open up after weighing the strength and combat effectiveness of both the enemy and the enemy

Begin a decisive battle with the orcs who landed.

Because there are many astral troops and planetary defense forces on the radium star, far more than the orcs who came to invade. But if such a force is evenly distributed among the various nest cities, then such a large number of soldiers is not enough.

It is impossible for the Astral Commander to let the soldiers stay in the city of the Hive, waiting for the large forces of the orcs to break through them one by one.

Since you can predict where the orcs will land, you should take advantage of your own strength, gather most of the troops, deploy a good defense line, and completely wipe out the orcs in one go.

Even if you don't achieve your goal, just eliminating most of the orcs will greatly reduce the threat to Radium.

If that can't be done, then rely on the defensive line to intercept the orcs in the area where they landed. Put the battlefield here, and don't let them wander to the rest of the radium star. Otherwise, large and small battlefields will cause great damage to various facilities on the radium star.

At the very least, the orc army must not be let go. Otherwise, the remaining troops scattered all over the Radium Star would not be able to resist the attack of the orcs at all.

"Prepare for the onslaught!"

"Boom!"

Even though the Imperial forces had already prepared their fortifications, the impact of the space hulk was far from what people expected. Many soldiers died in the onslaught.

After surviving the impact of the landing of the space wreck, the Imperial forces in the remaining orc landing area quickly returned to their combat positions, despite their dizziness and tinnitus. Before the orcs could get out of the space ship, they quickly began to attack the orc army.

"For the sake of the Emperor, destroy all aliens!"

"Fire!"

As the order of the commander of the Astral Army was given, the artillery positions that had been deployed by the Astral Army and the planetary defense forces began to roar in unison. The Commander of the Astral Force also ordered various types of bomber formations to bomb the orcs.

The pilots flew their planes out of the atmosphere and dropped high-explosive bombs under their fuselages into target areas. After the bombing, it re-enters the atmosphere again before being intercepted by the orcs, replenishes its ammunition, and waits for the next take-off.

In fact, the battle between the Radium and the Orcs began before the landing of the Space Scrap Ship, and nearly a month before the Orc landing battle, the Space Scrap Ship heading towards the Radium Star had easily destroyed many of the Radium Star's defense systems, including old orbiting satellites and some small attack aircraft.

Other Imperial planets in this system have also attacked the Shipwreck, with somewhat unsatisfactory results. Not to mention destroying the wrecked ship, even the speed at which it is moving has not been affected in the slightest.

Aware of this situation, Raylight sent a distress message to the outside world and the Imperial Military Department, hoping to get support.

The nearby Astral Army, the Imperial Navy, and the Space Marine units all responded positively to Radium's call for help and began to organize troops, but it was difficult to reach Radium before Greenskins landed.

Therefore, even if the troops on Radium cannot defeat the orcs, they must be held back before the rest of the Empire's forces arrive. They can't be allowed to wreak havoc on Radium.

With the attack of the powerful artillery units of the Imperial forces, the armored groups and infantry units of the Imperial Forces also began to move forward. They will annihilate the orcs who survive.

On the battlefield at this time, the impact of the landing of the space scrap ship kicked up a lot of dust, making the visibility on the battlefield not high, and no human figure could be seen dozens of meters away.

And this dust is difficult to dissipate for a while, and the Imperial soldiers can only move forward cautiously in this situation. Always be aware of what's going on around you.

However, the strong smell of the orcs, as well as the loud noises they make, make it difficult for people not to notice their movements. As the Imperial soldiers advanced, they could notice if an orc was approaching with a slight attention.

After a powerful fire attack, it is difficult to say how many orcs are left. The dust flying in the sky made it impossible for the Imperial side to effectively know the current situation of the orcs.

But in any case, it is impossible for the orcs to be completely annihilated under artillery fire. The commander of the Astral Army sat in the command room, keeping an eye on him

The debriefing of those advancing troops.

At this time, the orcs, under the orders of the boss, kept moving all kinds of resources from the space waste ship, and some technician boys have begun to disassemble the space waste ship and use various parts on it to knock to create new things.

The Astral Army's artillery attack was very fierce, and the orcs suffered many casualties, if it weren't for the terrible aaagh of the greenskins and millions of orcs, the entire legion might have been exhausted.

But fortunately, now the strength of the Imperial side's attacks has decreased. But suddenly, a huge explosion from nowhere blew up several large craters in the ranks of the greenskinned infantry, mockingly throwing the greenskinned vehicle into the sky.

The orc boss couldn't take it anymore.

“aaagh!”

His roar was echoed by countless orcs.

“aaagh!”

The Orc Boss swung his weapon and unleashed a war machine of endless orcs, cheering from millions of orcs at the same time.

The orcs began to attack.

The advancing Imperial forces heard the loud noise gathered by the roars of countless orcs. The Astral Force Commander, who got the news, immediately told the soldiers to retreat. The casualties of the orcs did not seem to be as great as they had imagined.

The Commander of the Astral Army had no idea what kind of orcs he was dealing with, and although the Astral Army and the Planetary Defense Force were well-equipped, they were not fully prepared for the wave of violence that swept in.

Obviously, the humans underestimated the enemy's strategic capabilities, and they had fought the orcs before, but these green skins were different, they were more powerful and more aaagh than the previous orcs!

The Imperial bomber formation, which was carrying out a bombing mission outside the atmosphere, dropped all the aerial bombs it carried, and although countless dust obscured their vision, the commander had already divided a large area of attack for them.

That's where the orcs landed on the scrap space, and all the bombers had to do was drop bombs into that range. Even if the accuracy is not as good as usual, as long as the base is large enough, it can cause a lot of damage to the orcs.

But just as the bomber formations were about to leave, from the clouds below, many orc planes suddenly appeared and began to pursue these imperial bombing formations.

Like all orc vehicles, these orc planes looked tattered, often suffered damage, and often defied the laws of aerodynamics. But these orc creations still fly, and they don't fly slowly. At the very least, the Reich's bombers couldn't shake off their pursuit.

These crumbling, eye-catching machines, made with typical orc primitive technology, creaked and swayed as parts swayed as they flew.

And the pilots of the Reich noticed that the orc planes that were the fastest and quickly caught up with them were usually red. They looked like they were the same model as some of the planes behind them, but they left them far behind.

Although seemingly crudely manufactured, these orc flying vehicles are often unexpectedly effective and dangerous, as is the case with most orc techniques. Many of the pilots died when the plane was wrecked, and the rest fell to the planet's surface along with the burning wreckage.

After receiving the news, the commander of the Astral Army on the ground immediately had a headache, not only what to do next.

What made the Astral Force commander so uncomfortable was not because a bomber formation was destroyed by orcs, but because of another piece of suffocating bad news.

After Greenskin's landing, a massive subspace storm occurred around Radium, making it impossible for reinforcements to help Radium when it was invaded by orcs.

This made the Commander of the Astral Army suddenly feel the heavy responsibility on his shoulders. Judging from the current situation, his plan to destroy the orcs in one fell swoop has undoubtedly failed.

The best case scenario in the next place can only be to engage in a battle with the orcs here and drag the orcs here.

But can the orcs make the Astral Commander get his wish?

Just as the battle in the sky was in full swing, the Greenskins swarmed out of the space hulk and headed for the Radium defense line in all directions.

The orcs let out a menacing roar, and then easily overwhelmed the line with their numbers

, carry out the in-depth Planetary Defense Corps and some Astral Army soldiers.

Although the Imperial soldiers spotted the Orcs first, the Orcs were the first to attack, and the Orc Bikers and their warbands surrounded the enemy, cutting off the Imperial soldiers' supply lines and rear support.

And because of the smoke and dust, the Imperial soldiers could only face these terrifying green monsters at close range.
