Chapter 43: War is Coming
While the construction of the warship was underway, the Holy Forges also underwent a large-scale refitting improvement.
The reason for the improvement is because of a piece of intelligence.
The rebels have gathered at least a million troops on Karsk 5, and this is still with the main rebel forces besieging Karsk 1, so it is conceivable how many troops the rebels will gather to deal with the loyalists once they pull out their hands.
On the other hand, the strength of the Cast Saint Army, even in the case of large-scale conscription on Karsk VII and VI, the total strength is only one million.
If it is impossible to expand the number of soldiers, then there is only one way to make the Saint Forge Army match the rebels, and that is to increase the combat effectiveness of individual soldiers at any cost.
First of all, Chen Mo designed a single soldier power armor, this power armor is of course inferior to the nun's force feedback armor, the principle is to inlay armor plates on the exoskeleton, but even this can greatly improve the soldier's combat effectiveness and survival rate.
Each squad now has 10 regular infantry members and a specialist class.
An armored hunter with a miniature version of a hot melt cannon.
Heavy artillery armed with a multi-barrel rapid-fire machine gun and wearing a heavy power armor with a small mortar.
An assault soldier wearing jet armor and wielding a chainsaw sword.
A communications soldier who has the latest communication equipment, wears specialized protective power armor, and is not responsible for combat at all, but is only responsible for communication and calling for support with the captain.
In addition, each regiment was issued a mobile support platform, a miniaturized mobile fortress that dismantled the temple to support each squad with thousands of guns and fighter planes.
This set of re-equipment improvements has led to a huge increase in the cost of equipment per soldier, but it has also given a soldier the ability to deal with enemies many times his own.
There is no way, the quantity is not as good as others, so you can only fight for quality.
The new equipment was meant to improve the quality of the army, but the morale of the soldiers skyrocketed when they learned about it.
Everything was going on in an orderly manner until two years later.
……
Karlske VI.
In the room on the top floor of the giant fortress, Chen Mo stood in front of the bed and looked up at the fleet in the sky.
By this time it was already the winter of the following year, and Karsk-6 could no longer see even half a tree, but the weather had not changed, and it would still snow as before.
Just as Chen Mo was staring at the Saint Casting Army below, Xu Yi stepped into the room.
The guards at the door immediately saluted, and 025, who had been in charge of the guards, didn't even look at Xu Yi.
"As soon as I got the information, Karsk-1 fell half a year ago."
"A terrible psionic spell has turned the defenders of the entire planet into mud."
Xu Yi said bad news.
Hearing the news, Chen Mo just nodded silently, without anger or sorrow.
In fact, everyone knew that Karsk-1 was bound to fall, and that the naval fleet that had just been built had only now been trained, something that no one could stop.
The rebels have captured Karsk 1 for more than half a year, and they must have gathered forces on Karsk 5 to wipe out the remaining loyalists in the system.
"Remember the strategy we had agreed on a long time ago?" Chen Mo asked.
"Yes." Of course Xu Yi remembers.
The current situation has already been predicted, and everyone is discussing how to deal with it.
The strategy is not to be passively beaten but to take the initiative, and the newly built twenty warships will be airborne to Karsk-5, turning Karsk-5 into a battlefield, and fighting a war on it that will determine the future fate of the galaxy.
As for Karsk VI, the fortress world is only the defense line of Karsk VI after all, the support is far away and the rebels are several times their own, if they really stick to Karsk VI, then when this place is broken, Karsk VI can only face a strong enemy alone.
"Prophecy the next war, and then go to war." Chen Mo ordered.
"Yes." Xu Yi nodded.
……
A moment later.
Temple of Ten Thousand Machines.
Xu Yi sat on the high platform, his head bowed and his eyes closed.
Some former Anglican personnel aboard Karsk VI walked back and forth beside Xu Yi with incense in hand.
Xu Yi saw the war that would break out next.
The newly built fleet arrived at Karlsk V and dropped the fortress into the air, but the fortress was attacked by rebel anti-aircraft fire, losing more than half of it, and only one army parachuted into the South Pole survived.
The fleet had to withdraw to Karsk-5 for defense.
The fortress world lasted for a long time, but eventually a warship dropped the drop pod, and the fifty Midnight Lord Space Marines who came out of the drop pod infiltrated the fortress and began to slaughter the defenders.
The rebel fleet of three battle barges and four Tempest-class frigates wiped out a fleet of twenty converted merchant ships outside the Karsk VI, and nearly half of the twenty merchant ships had already been killed in the evacuation due to panic.
In the end, Karsk VI was lost.
Xu Yi calmly looked at these flashing pictures, he knew that this was something that would happen in the future, but there was a certain chance that it could be avoided.
Xu Yi focused his attention on the Midnight Lord Space Marines, trying to find where they were now.
The exertion of the clear prophecy had left Xu Yi on the verge of collapse, and he was powerless to probe anything more until he felt an external force appear in his brain.
Xu Yi instantly knew that the Midnight Lord Space Marines were now located on Karsk IV, and that this planet had been built into a supply hub, where a large number of rebel troops and those Midnight Lords were repairing.
The prophecy was so clear that Xu Yi even knew why the Midnight Lords had come, as they had been promised material support from the Karsk system by the High Priest of the Flame Angel after the battle.
After the prophecy was completed, Xu Yi opened his eyes.
"Finished?" Chen Mo walked into the Temple of Ten Thousand Machines and asked Xu Yi a question.
"Hmm." Xu Yi nodded, and then told Chen Mo everything he had predicted.
After listening, Chen Mo thought for a while and came up with a detailed strategy: "All the troops will be airborne to the Antarctic region of Karsk 5, and then just like we attacked the rebels on Karsk 6, we will build a defensive line with fortresses, layer by layer, until we build an extremely strong defense line so that more troops can come down safely." ”
"I agree." Xu Yi nodded, "But what about those Midnight Lord Space Marines?" ”
"There's a way to deal with it, and I promise you won't see the Space Marines in the full-fledged battle." Chen Mo said calmly.
"I believe in you." Although Chen Mo's promise was a bit outrageous, Xu Yi was still willing to believe him, if not for anything else, but habitually believing it.
"Go and get my orders across, and start preparing for war." With that, Chen Mo turned around and walked out of the Temple of Ten Thousand Machines.
