On the bridge of A1, as the operation continued, Yang Yi felt more and more that something was wrong.

It was now the seventh hour of the operation, the Imperial fleet was still nowhere to be seen, and the ground forces were engaged in a fierce battle with Orlan's mercenaries. Mira Han's advance fleet also temporarily halted its offensive after several rounds of bombardment to no avail.

But what about the Imperials? According to Renault, Orlan is ready to sell the mission objectives to the Imperials, but where are the Imperials? Don't they want it?

The refrillation drive commonly used by the ships of the Tyranid Empire is the second-generation refractory drive that has been popularized since the old Federation period, and it is unknown whether it is a technology modeled after the ruins of the Sarna family or a portal technology that is simply imitated from the astral spirit, but its reflex speed is absolutely amazing, and it is not at all comparable to the first-generation refrillation drive used by the immigrant ship they were on at that time.

According to the prediction, no matter how slow it is, at least a nearby Imperial Fleet should arrive on the scene to support Orlan, but until now, the Imperial Fleet has not moved at all.

"Maybe the biters are holding back the Imperial fleet?"

This is barely a reason, but is it true that the Empire is so weak that it can't even send a detachment fleet to help Orlan and take away the lieutenants? The Blade Queen's goal is not really to destroy the Empire, she is to capture the artifact. The Empire was attacked in part because there was indeed a feud between the two, and in part because the Mobis Foundation had the data she wanted.

And the Queen of Blades is not stupid, she really forced Mengsk to be in a hurry, what can't this old guy do? Over the years, it's not just the Queen of Blades who has been strengthening her swarm, but Mengsk has also been trying to find a way to deal with the Queen of Blades. There are countless projects that have been stirred up by the Star Spirit and the Swarm alone. If a galaxy-level psionic crusher were to be brought out, the swarm would have to raise their hands and surrender - of course it would be impossible.

“…… Didn't Mengsk care about that adjutant at all? ”

How can he not care, the act of abandoning the refugees from the marginal world is enough to make the low-level civilians dissatisfied with him, and if he throws that adjutant on it, the planets will definitely riot. At this juncture, it is likely to lead to some unpredictable consequences.

It's hard to figure it out, but it's a good thing for them. As long as Mengsk comes later, the greater their advantage. The ultimate winner of this war will definitely be on their side, and the only concern is only a matter of time.

When Black Rose's troops finally blew up their No. 2 Draken railgun, the orbital defense network with three Draken railguns as the main defense force was finally initially dismantled. In order to speed up the attack, A1 and Black Rose and Mira Han's Marauder fleets were asked to descend to begin orbital support.

After arguing to no avail, Yang Yi had to obey the order to ask the fleet to lower the height of the battleship and provide fire support on the ground as much as possible.

With the help of fire from the fleet, the defense on the ground became more and more relaxed. At the same time, the station's surveillance system spotted Orran's forces massing towards the main base, seemingly intending to assemble forces for a decisive battle.

After learning of this news, Renault and his party, who were eager to complete the task, were naturally happy to see this, and began to gather troops to prepare for a decisive battle with Orran. At the same time, Renault sent a communication to Orlan asking him to hand over the adjutant, but Orran quickly refused Renault's request.

"It seems that a decisive battle is inevitable......" Yang Yi looked at the image coming from the ground and said in a deep voice, "A1, send more heavy units to the ground as soon as possible before the decisive battle." God knows what that old guy left behind, and we've got to be ready for everything we can. ”

"Yes."

As soon as he turned around, he saw the hydra that had been silently guarding his side, and suddenly thought of something, and quickly turned his head and asked, "Hydra, do you think you can take that adjutant?" ”

As soon as the words fell, A1 suddenly raised his head and hurriedly stopped: "Commander, this is too dangerous, I don't recommend you to do this." ”

"Why?"

"Orran's base has been in operation for many years, and we have now lost nearly a thousand Marines just by building a landing zone and destroying the orbital defense network, and Orland's main base is now suffering almost no considerable damage. Although Hydra has a high psionic level, it is very likely that Orlan Base also has weapons and equipment that can deal with psionic units. At that time, the hydra is likely to be in prison and die in battle! ”

Since A1 is so opposed, Yang Yi also believes that A1 has a point. After thinking about it for a while, I decided to abandon this idea and focus on the ground battlefield.

A1 breathed a sigh of relief, and Hydra nodded lightly to A1.

At the same time that the ground forces began to gather, the air battle above the sky broke out first. With the support of the capital ships, the fighter squadrons carried by Yang Yi and Mira Han's warships began to compete with Orlan's fighter squadrons for air supremacy over the main bases. Given the lack of quick-strike firepower, Yang Yi had to risk using Banshees and Liberators to strike at enemy starports and air defense facilities. Mira Han's forces suffered from the same problem, as their Wraith fighters struggled to quickly penetrate the ground with ground fire, destroy targets quickly, and then leave quickly, and had to use similar tactics to ensure that Orran's fortified air defense positions could be destroyed.

Orlan's air force mercenaries relied on their excellent air defense fortifications to play a good battle loss ratio in this battle, but in the case of absolute numerical inferiority, the airspace of this wandering asteroid was finally taken by Yang Yi's side at a high price, but at this time, the ground forces had already decided the victory.

The decisive battle of the ground forces was finally provoked by a mechanized squadron of Black Rose. While the main forces were constantly gathering and seeking a decisive field battle with Orran's main force, Orran's troops were confined to the main base with strong fortifications. The commander of the unit, who did not want to suffer the high risk of casualties among the troops, did not want to die directly in the fortifications of the main bases, so he only surrounded the main bases, but never chose to attack.

The Biochemical Forces of the Black Rose are a bunch of pirates. After hours of waiting to no avail, the pirates, tired of waiting, set out on their own initiative to seek a decisive battle. Since the parties belonged to an independent chain of command, no one could stop the group of pirates. They first attempted to attack the main base, but were unable to reach the base after suffering heavy casualties. So they tried to call the fleet for an orbital strike, but the fleet was too busy fighting for air supremacy to take care of a force that had left its post without permission.

After the call for support failed, the pirates began to try other methods, such as insulting people on public channels and making insulting gestures outside the range of enemy weapons, but they were unable to hook even one of Orran's troops, and instead disgusted the friendly forces enough.

Eventually, the pirates had to start thinking of other ways to achieve their goals. This mechanized squadron came up with a method - digging tunnels.
