In the fierce air battle, the fleet began to venture into the high-altitude orbit of the Baisher, due to the fierce firepower of the orbital defense facilities of the Star Spirit, the capital ship could not go down to the low-earth orbit at all, and could only make blind drops in the high-altitude orbit.

There are many meanings of blind casting, and in the Marine Corps Commander's Combat Manual, blind casting means marking an approximate location and airdropping it to the surface from a height above the intended drop location. The higher the altitude, the more likely it is to deviate from the destination, and the greater the range of walks in the drop pod. Although the navigation system and thrusters of the drop pod itself are capable of landing corrections to a certain extent, the extent is limited, and it is impossible to fully expect the drop pod to pull them back to the target location no matter how far away.

Blind pitching is an extremely unpopular term for the Marine Corps because it represents high risk, high casualties, and a possible complete defeat. Ever since humanity had capital ships and marines, there have been countless examples of warfare that demonstrate the risks of such behavior. In the best-case scenario, the ground forces can quickly retract, establish a landing zone, place low-frequency laser beacons, and create defensive positions to wait for the arrival of subsequent landing forces. In the worst-case scenario, none of the troops will be dropped, either destroyed by the enemy's orbital defenses during the airdrop, or few will fall to the target location, and the troops that are lucky enough to reach the ground will be scattered throughout the mission area, broken one by one, and the whole army will be annihilated.

It's just that this is an order from above, and the marines can only grit their teeth and curse while preparing their equipment to enter the drop capsule.

Generally speaking, if you want to make a blind drop, it is basically a situation where the enemy's orbital defense system cannot be eliminated in a short period of time, and there is an urgent need for landing. Originally, the enemy's orbital defense system would have brought considerable losses to these airdrop troops, plus the ground's orbital defense system, plus the loss of airdrop accuracy caused by blind dropping......

"At least one probe plane can reach the surface and have a chance to ......," Yang Yi silently looked at the picture from the monitor.

After the scheduled time, under the fire of the Phoenix fighters, hundreds of drop pods were ejected from the hulls of the Black Rose and A1 at the same time, and they rushed straight to the ground. At the same time, hundreds of airdrop sacs were sprayed from Behemoth's hull, smashing towards the surface as they approached the human drop pod.

At the same time, inside the Pride of Ortaris, in front of the portal, Shantila's astral forces were already in full array. However, this army does not have very advanced combat units, only the most basic units such as Zealots, Dragon Knights, and Mechanical Sentinels, and units such as the Immortals and Colossias are not yet capable of building, let alone any Star Fleet.

However, there is also a problem, Shantila lacks the ability to craft units of Nerazim and Tadarin. Because she didn't have the skills to do so, and she lacked the ability to use the Void Psychic Energy. She does have manufacturing skills for the Purifier unit, and this landing army is indeed mixed with a lot of Purifier units.

Units such as the Stalker and the Void Glow Ship actually wield Nerazim's technology and Void Psionic energy, while Shantila had fallen asleep long before the fall of the El, making it impossible to have access to such technology. Although Yang Yi has some regrets, he can only give up. He had wanted to arrange for a few Dark Templars to protect him at all times......

Amidst the violent shaking of the battleship, Yang Yi silently waited for the latest progress of the battle. And the first one to make new progress is the air battlefield that has been stalemate for quite a long time. The Star Spirit Fleet was forced to retreat after destroying 4 Phoenix Fighters and 1 Void Glow Ship, but it did not evacuate the orbital defense system, and it still wandered around the orbital defense facilities, keeping an eye on the human fleet. And the act of rushing back after the airdrop just rushed into the high-altitude orbit caused the fleet to suffer more damage than expected, and it was unable to continue the pursuit.

The situation is somewhat unfavorable for humanity. There was no further news from the ground forces, and Yang Yi was worried that the landing force would be sent away without any progress. A1 and Black Rose's damage pipes are urgently repairing damaged areas of the ship's armor, and Behemoth is using the crystal ore and high-energy gas stored in his ship's hull to speed up the repair of his damaged epidermal tissue, while constantly unleashing xenosaurs and corruptors to harass the astral forces.

"Shantila, calibrate the railgun, and in fifteen minutes, blow that railgun out! A1, Black Rose, Behemoth, attack Tadarin's orbital defenses as soon as that facility is blown up, Santila, you continue to try to target other facilities and bomb them, make sure you win this battle as quickly as possible! ”

After reaching level 10 with the bonus of his psionic powers, he finally had the ability to use the command network to give orders. But he doesn't use it much in general, because the shipwives know what to do and what not to do. Most of the time, I just sat in the captain's seat on the A1 bridge and listened to the report.

"Commander ......"

"We need to take the high-altitude orbit of Bysher as soon as possible, and establish an orbital defense line as soon as possible in case of the possible arrival of the Tadarin death fleet."

“…… Yes, Commander. ”

The Pride of Ortaris received orders to adjust course, aiming the bow at a Tadarin orbital defense, and the solar core began to charge the railgun.

The two capital ships, which were originally undergoing emergency repairs, have also readjusted their combat status and prepared for a surprise attack. Behemoth retracted his forces and prepared for a decisive battle.

However, before the pride of Ortaris could fire, the ground forces were the first to hear the news - although a unit that had arrived at the surface had failed to land at the designated location, it had still successfully reached the established position and established a landing zone, and was gathering other troops who had successfully reached the surface and waiting for reinforcements.

Yang Yi immediately informed Shantila through Kara, asking him to immediately send his troops to the available beacon jumping force on the surface. At the same time, the Pride of Ortaris's railgun is fully charged, and as the first Zealot enters the portal, the Pride of Ortaris's railgun unleashes its own roar.

Tadarin had been keeping an eye on the movement on this side, and when the orbital gun energy level of the Ark ship gradually increased, and the other ships began to adjust their combat attitudes, Tadarin had already realized the problem. But their broken fleet was also incapable of any effective counterattack, so they could only watch dryly.

When the Pride of Ortaris's cannonballs pierced the starry sky and rushed directly to the orbital defenses, the remaining 4 Phoenix fighters immediately judged the direction of their attack and tried to force them with their fuselages, but failed to block them because of the small number of them. One of the closer Phoenix fighters was destroyed by a shell, and the other two were damaged in the previous battle and were just undergoing emergency repairs, so they didn't have time to arrive, they were hit by a shell in the wing, lost their balance, and basically scrapped, and one did not catch up.

The orbital defenses were hit by the remaining artillery fire, with three of them hitting the main power chamber of the facility, and the reactor that powered it was destroyed, and the associated explosion reaction completely tore the entire facility to shreds.

At the same time, the human fleet quickly struck forward, launching a general attack on the remaining orbital defense system, which had lost the core of orbital facilities, in an attempt to quickly occupy the airspace of Baisher.
