Chapter 456, the war situation has changed greatly
The arrival of the Flame Legion is the savior that the Star Domain Government has been desperately looking for.
In their understanding, as long as a serious space marines such as the Flame Legion arrive, then all problems should be solved.
But in reality, this is not the case.
The Flame Warband is a standard Space Marine warband - at least they are pretty standard. It was a thousand angry flames who came; With a complete fleet of space marines, the mortal servants and mortal auxiliaries in the fleet are also very normal.
Can such a warband really turn the tide of the war as they expected?
Yes, indeed.
At least, when they arrived and participated in the battle, the situation of Jin Dixing did not deteriorate further.
The Space Marines have come up with one of their best tactics, and one that is very effective against the Greenskins, decapitation.
On the ground battlefield, the decapitation of several orc overseers who led the battle was successful.
The blows to those Overseers directly caused a very serious disarray in the Greenskins' ground offensive.
The human army is also the leader of the Flame Warband, Becker Mattessis, known as the 'Firewalker', took over all the command of the entire war zone, and commanded the human army, fought several beautiful battles, annihilated a large number of orc elites, and even countered the Greenskin's offensive for a while.
And in space, the battle barge called the 'Spirit' that the Flame Warband participated in the battle also brought a lot of pressure to the greenskins.
The Space Marine's mothership, known as the Battle Barge, is even larger and more powerful than the average Imperial battleship.
In its first attack, it inflicted damage on the Iron Tooth Clan's Battle Moon, and even destroyed three Greenskin's cruisers.
However, the battle moon was still fierce, and with the original Iron Tooth flagship, which was a powerful warship at least the same level as the battlecruiser, it eventually drove the 'Spirit' away.
But even so, the Space Marines of the Flame Warband looked back when they were 'forced' to evacuate.
They launched a gang-hopping raid on the Greenskin's flagship.
What they hoped for most was to catch Titus there and behead the great chief of the orc empire. As long as this is destroyed, the entire Greenskin Empire will be plunged into a long period of chaos and collapse, and there will be a large-scale civil war.
This is the experience of the Empire when it fought against the Greenskins across the entire universe, and there were few exceptions.
And if they can't catch the Great Chief of Titus on the ship, they can destroy the enemy ship from the inside by jumping gang fighting, which can be regarded as destroying a green-skinned core main warship, which will definitely be of great help in future wars.
However, the plan for this gang-jumping battle did not succeed. Titus was indeed there, and they did find it, but when it came to fighting, the Black Beast Guards around the Great Chief showed that they were not at all weaker than the Space Marines.
Even if the Flames dragged the battle into the hand-to-hand combat they were best at, would the most elite of the Greenskinned Orcs be afraid of hand-to-hand combat?
That obviously won't.
In the midst of a short but brutal confrontation, the Space Marines of the Flame Bands soon realized that with the capabilities of their boarding force, they were not enough to destroy Titus.
At this time, their decision was also decisive. They happily abandoned their original plans and began to retreat.
After someone broke off, someone took a bomb that was supposed to enter the core of the ship and then detonate, and exploded in a random place. Even if it can't destroy the ship, at least it can cause some damage to the greenskin flagship. Moreover, it can also form chaos on the warship, so as to facilitate their evacuation.
They did fight their way out of the boat, boarded the ship, and left the battleship.
However, in the whole process, they also paid a lot of price. A warband champion, a company commander, were killed in the battle. Only one-third of the entire elite team that was thrown into the battle was withdrawn.
But even so, after the Flame Warband entered this war, Greenskin was a slap in the face.
They had never been beaten like this before.
On the two battlefields on the ground and in space, there were no orcs who bargained for anything, and they were very angry, but the fact that Titus was able to become the Great Chief meant that he had not only bravery and domineering, but also cunning and wisdom were indispensable.
The green-skinned orcs, who had suffered heavy losses, had apparently become more cautious under his command.
On the surface, they shrank their fronts and no longer fought so aggressively; In space, they no longer needlessly expand the battle line, but more closely huddle the entire fleet together, with the inconvenient and fast-moving combat moon as the core.
This also made it impossible for the Flame Warband to find any more opportunities.
The fighting style of the Flame Warband is actually undoubtedly revealed in their series of actions, and what they pay attention to is that they are irritable and ferocious.
However, after a defeat, they also realized that the enemy they faced this time was not the same as most of the enemies they encountered in the Star Sea War, and they could be quickly defeated by them.
Both sides learned a lesson, and the whole battlefield situation calmed down a little as a result.
But this calm did not last long, and soon, the two sides began to show their powers, with the Jindi Star Battlefield as the core, and the surrounding galaxies as the expanded battlefield, and began to constantly clash.
The more Jindi Star fights, the more it can't be defeated, and the greenskin will definitely think of ways from other galaxies, and even try to invade the Yunluo Star Region from the lower plateau star in the Snow Eagle Star Region to the southwest, trying to directly threaten the capital of the Dragon Eagle Star Domain.
But isn't that a coincidence?
After realizing that the main force of the greenskin is in Jindixing, there are not many ways to fight the moon in space warfare, and directly start a fleet decisive battle, even if there is the existence of the battle barge of the 'Spirit', it may not be able to take advantage. As a result, Matthesis also thought about whether he could open up a second battlefield and start from the Snow Eagle Star Zone. If you can take down the upper and lower plateau stars, and then attack from the Dragon Trainer Star Zone, and block the north side of the Steel Fire Dragon Star Zone, it will be equivalent to locking the main force of the Green Skin in the Steel Fire Dragon.
The green skins are less dependent on logistics, which is also relative. With such a huge fleet and so many green-skinned armies gathered around Jindixing, if there is really no support from the rear, new ships, soldiers, and supplies cannot be transported from the rear after continuous plunder, then the orc legion will also be significantly affected, and the combat ability will be greatly reduced.
Both sides have similar ideas, so naturally, the high intensity of the war has evolved from focusing on the surrounding areas of Jindi Star to the four or five surrounding star districts that have begun to fight fiercely.
Just looking at Jindi Star, perhaps the intensity of the war has dropped a notch; But judging from the course of the whole war, it is clear that the two sides fought more fiercely.
……
When this series of information was sent to Gu Hang, he was much more relieved.
At least, looking at the current situation, the situation of the war has changed from almost a mountain of defeat before, and the orcs crushed all the way, to a back and forth on both sides.
Gu Hang didn't have to worry anymore, the Star Domain Government would be quickly destroyed, and then the main force of the orcs would turn around and come to him for trouble.
However, soon Gu Hang had a new trouble.
What happened on Kindi began to occur in the Temir system.
When Elicia led her fleet to the Temir system, she was still slightly faster than the orc reinforcements.
She unified Zhao Shiliang's command, assembled the alliance fleet, and launched a fierce attack on the green-skinned orcs.
But the orc overseer that Gu Hang already knew was called Saru, and he was obviously not a fool with only recklessness in his head. It knows how to avoid the edge for the time being, and will even pull on the wider battlefield scope.
He refused to fight a decisive battle with the human fleet, but instead expanded the scope of the battlefield.
After paying a certain amount of losses, it escaped the pursuit of the human fleet. But he didn't completely withdraw from the entire galaxy, he was still eyeing the surface, and once the human fleet made a strong large-scale orbital support to the surface of the planet of Temir 5, his ships would appear, threatening that the human fleet would not be able to devote itself to supporting the ground.
Of course, such a threat is not enough, and if the human fleet continues to fight desperately, such as splitting the team into two parts, one pulling with the green skins, and the other continuing to provide ground support, what can Saru do?
In order to solve this problem, some of Saru's ships went north to enter the Tongguan Star Zone, and from Tongguan I, they entered Cuiquan I in the Wuma Star Zone.
This makes it clear that if the Alliance is really desperate to attack the Temir system, it's for you.
However, don't think about getting it too easily, the price you pay will not be too small; At the same time, the orc fleet, which could not be taken care of for a while, would drive straight into the Fog Horse Star Zone, turning the world upside down.
This is something that Gu Hang can't quite accept.
The Foggy Horse Sector signed the Seven Horse Entente very early, only slightly later than the Hippogriff. If there is great turmoil here, and the alliance is unable to settle down quickly, the credibility of the Seven Horse Entente will be greatly reduced. Even the purple horses, side horses, and iron horses in the rear will waver, and they will begin to wonder if the alliance is really capable of keeping them safe, as they say.
After all, the premise of these star regions and planets for relinquishing power, and even being willing to be sucked blood, is the security guarantee provided by the alliance.
When the orcs really want to expand the scope of the war, the alliance has no choice but to call.
To rescue the Fog Horse Star Zone means dividing the troops.
After the division of troops, the green-skinned man was driven out of Cuiquan I, and the human fleet also went north along the Fog Horse Star Zone, further burning the war into the Tongguan Star Zone, and even beating the Tongguan I and Brass Galaxy back.
There is only one industrial world in Tongguan I, but there are three human worlds in the Brass Galaxy. These two galaxies, four planets, together have a total of six billion human populations. Due to the perennial war, the population has been severely damaged, and the industrial base has also been severely damaged, but at least two billion people remain.
The Alliance simply set up observer missions in all four worlds, supported the Acting Governor, and had them all join the Seven Horse Entente.
The operation method is similar to that on the Temir 4.
On the one hand, try to relocate the survivor population as much as possible, leave the war zone, and send them back to the Pegasus Star Zone to fill the core population of the Alliance;
On the other hand, they mobilize the local population as much as possible, send weapons and equipment, arm them, and try to solve the green skins that still exist on the planet by themselves.
The Coalition will provide arms aid as well as orbital fire support.
On top of this, they also have to resume production as much as possible, and work hard to turn the entire planet into a fortress and build more rail batteries.
But the Greenskins obviously wouldn't give up so easily, and their ships, which had just run away, but had not been destroyed, had also brought in troops from other places back and forth, and sent them to the surface when they saw the opportunity; They will attack human transports out of nowhere; Even a few shots were fired at the surface.
In the process of pulling back and forth, the Greenskin's support fleet is also in place.
On the whole, in terms of naval strength on both sides, the alliance fleet still has the advantage. But the degree of superiority is no longer enough to form a crush.
Moreover, the fleets of both sides no longer limited the battlefield to one galaxy, but expanded the battlefield to the two star regions of Jinguan and Tongguan.
The main army units of both sides are still fighting like meat grinders on the Temir 5, but the fleet is running around. Orcs will attack the supply lines of the humans, and of course the humans will have to defend them; The human fleet will also return color, and even hit the Bright Fortune Star as far away.
Guangfu Star is the Greenskin Empire, the only way to reach the main battlefield on the Western Front from the Jinguan Star District. A large amount of the resources transported from the core area of the greenskin to the main battlefield are all transported from here.
A mad shark and two silver swords formed a detachment to intercept and kill two waves of greenskinned transport ships here, making at least more than 200 million greenskins become space junk along with their transports and a large number of war materials.
Such a heavy loss made Saru suffer another scolding. The orc army on the main battlefield of the Western Front was not going well, and this supply was still suffering, who did he like to scold? 、
Saru was also forced to divide his forces like the human fleet, go to the rear communication arteries, drive away the human attack ships, and protect the safety of the transport ships transporting supplies to the front line.
All in all, the whole battlefield situation, the two sides have become bigger and wider.
And they are more inclined to compete for 'internal strength', and the victory or defeat of two battles alone is no longer enough to change much. It depends on the overall heritage of both sides, who can withstand more losses.
This also makes the economic pressure on the alliance even greater.
