Him and their stars

These missiles are just very ordinary atmospheric missiles. Their accuracy and speed can only be considered mediocre, and their power cannot be the same as the neutron bombs that fall from the sky on orbit.

But even so, it is still a powerful high-explosive sub-munition warhead. The explosion shock wave and shrapnel of one warhead are enough to cover two or three celestial courts. What's more, the distance is really too close. Although the monitoring systems in outer space orbit, in the sky, and on the ground all discovered dangerous heat sources at the first time, it is not impossible to completely intercept them.

For the assembled imperial soldiers, this was indeed a sudden disaster.

Preliminary statistics show that more than 2,000 people were killed on the spot. Three main stormtrooper regiments lost their basic organization.

So, when the adjutant brought the news to Major General Surmei, his first reaction was: "It's here again, it's here again? It's endless, right?"

After wasting two months on this small area of ​​​​the planet, every time he attacks, he will encounter an unexpected blow from the opponent. Major General Surmei has become completely accustomed to such surprises.

These words may sound extremely contradictory, but they really reflect my state of mind at this time.

"So, it was shot from the other side of the sea?"

"Yes, there are 4 small submarines less than 20 kilometers away from the coastline. Our airships have sunk them all, but no bodies were found." The adjutant arrived.

"That's not a submarine, but an automatic robot." Major General Surmei quickly thought of the reason: "People on Earth actually dare to lurk in the sea! Aren't they afraid of being eaten?"

Ever since the Imperial Army saw the shadow of the island-like beast on the sea, they gave up their plan to attack Marshal Li Gela under the sea. In fact, the Galactic Empire looks quite civilized, but it can almost be regarded as the race in the universe that is best at dealing with giant beasts. They know very well that these giant beasts, which are huge and exceed the common sense of biology, are actually phantom beasts with mystical attributes.

Some of the phantom beasts are mild-tempered and some are friendly to humans, but there are certainly none that are easy to mess with.

Later, the Empire conducted some exploration of the planet's sea. It has been initially determined that the number of planet-level super beasts of the same level as the giant turtle that served as a delicacy at the 250th God of War Festival has reached double digits.

This is still just a preliminary observation.

All I can say is that it is indeed the holy planet left by the enlightened ones. If this planet falls into the hands of the empire, not only its rich products and perfect climate, but also the spiritual influence of the planet-level beasts will make this the best place for extraordinary people to practice, and it will definitely There will be big shots coming here to buy land and build manors.

Anyone who can be the chief executive here will naturally have a bright future.

Of course, those are all good prospects for the future. But at least for now, the vibrant sea is still difficult to disturb casually.

However, it is very embarrassing and unscientific for your opponent to take advantage of something that you dare not use.

"What did Colonel Arianne Enach say?" Rear Admiral Sulmey thought of the fleet's chief navigator and the fleet's number one psyker master.

"Chief Ainach believes that the shells of those ships have been specially treated to shield them from sound and heat sources, so that they will not be discovered by the giant beasts."

"You won't be discovered by us, right?"

The adjutant could not answer and could only remain silent.

"However, if it is a special material, has it undergone some kind of mystical treatment? That means that the cost of this kind of automatic small submarine will be very high, and the quantity will not be too large? Is that right?"

The adjutant had to bite the bullet and answer this time: "Chief Ainach believes that there is no possibility of occult treatment, but that the material coating has undergone special treatment. We have collected as many submarine fragments as possible."

Major General Surmei did not want to care about this. Even if the Wisdom Palace and Tiangong Institute restored this paint based on these material fragments and reverse research, it would still take ten years as a cycle. This cannot be regarded as their own credit at all.

What he really cares about is that if it is an advanced coating in the field of technology, it means that the cost is controllable.

"It's very possible that there are hundreds of these small submarines hidden in that sea, right?"

The adjutant remained silent.

"Moreover, we don't even know where Marshal Li's water channel in Grad City is opened!" Major General Surmei's voice became brighter again.

The adjutant looked ashamed. None of this is his responsibility, but since the officer is raging, of course he must maintain a low-brow attitude. This is actually a kind of professionalism as an adjutant.

Sure enough, Major General Surmei finally regained his composure after seeing the adjutant's innocent, weak, helpless and pitiful look. He sighed faintly: "Tell the fleet in orbit to increase the warning range. All sea surfaces within 1,000...no, 2,000 kilometers offshore of Marshal Li Grad will be included in the surveillance. Three additional surface monitoring stations should be established near the coastline. Four anti-aircraft companies, and two lines of automatic sentry artillery.”

The adjutant finished recording and was about to pass the order when he was stopped by Major General Surmei: "Have the troops that were attacked just now withdrawn?"

The adjutant shook his head and reported cleanly: "Our army just stopped advancing. On the other hand, the auxiliary troops from Gombulin and Angmans wanted to withdraw, but were stopped by the war supervisory team. Their commander was executed by General Honkas. . The troops are reorganizing and are still preparing to press forward again. "

"Thousands of casualties all at once, or are we going to press on?"

The adjutant nodded: "Yes, even the two reserve brigades on standby have begun to advance."

Major General Surmei sighed in admiration. Regardless of whether there was a command error or not, this fierceness really put him at a disadvantage.

However, what can Major General Hongkasi do? In fact, he doesn't want to be a bad guy.

If the large force responsible for the peripheral attack does not have time to follow up, wouldn't our own armored grenadiers, which have been airdropped above the city, become a lone force? By that time, it will definitely not be a central flowering, but will be given away in batches.

So, wouldn’t the person who formulated this tactic look like a fool? He is not a human being, let alone a noble man. If he is really regarded as a fool by the big bosses above, the outcome will definitely not be better than that of the unlucky ones who were executed by him.

Again, the Empire is actually pretty good at taking casualties. If there is a supervising team that is more ferocious than the enemy, the same will be true for the Imperial Alliance Army.

However, both shelling and casualties exist and they exist objectively.

No matter how powerful General Hongkas was and how hard he tried, it was impossible for the soldiers who had been bombed to regain their organization in a short period of time.

When these imperial soldiers mustered up the courage to reorganize and form, once again deployed their attack formations, set foot on the wasteland plowed by neutron bombs, gritted their teeth and advanced towards Marshal Li's city of Grad, fifty kilometers away, they had already A full three hours have passed.

What then unfolded was just as the two generals expected. The armored grenadiers who took the landing pod to launch a forceful landing on Marshal Li's city of Grad received attacks from all directions as soon as they left the cannonball-like landing pod. .

As we all know, Marshal Li Grad City was built from the beginning to be a metropolis with tens of millions of people. According to their mayor, General Longba, there is only a house waiting for people, and there is no reason for people to wait for a house.

Anyway, Yaochi Star in Nuoda has no shortage of land, labor force and construction tools. Besides, most of the citizens here are slaves liberated from predators. They have lived in cramped and cramped cabins like rat holes for a long time. What if they want to live in a big house now?

As a result, the main body of the underground city was extended to 10,000 meters underground, enough to accommodate millions of people. If time permits, a nation from the underground world may really be born.

As for the buildings and urban areas on the surface, there are also large groups of buildings that have just been repaired.

The empire's bombing of Marshal Li Grad indeed turned all these buildings into ruins, but instead they formed a huge hunting ground. Prey and hunter, in this world, can be reversed at any time.

Once the armored grenadiers of two regiments and one reinforced company were sprinkled into the vast ruins of the city, they were like pepper noodles sprinkled into the lake, and they soon disappeared.

Brigadier General Mando was slightly panicked. It's not that the narrator's guard was beaten coldly as soon as he landed, but that he suddenly discovered that he couldn't communicate with the warships in low-Earth orbit and the former enemy headquarters 200 kilometers away.

"People on Earth are just doing these despicable little tricks! You really have no martial ethics!" He said to his subordinates, as if his whole body was filled with courage and fearlessness.

"So, Your Excellency, what should we do?" the subordinate asked.

Brigadier General Mando looked around and found that the ruined battlefield was actually much larger than he had imagined. He suddenly hesitated. He felt that he should gather all his subordinates and wait for the follow-up troops to arrive. However, he was surrounded by the most elite armored grenadiers, and it was the first time he had invaded the opponent's city. Choosing a conservative approach seemed too cautious, and even a bit cowardly.

Wulflings are the most ferocious hounds in the empire, so they can't degenerate into sheepdogs!

"The 171st Regiment, set up detectors at the surrounding intersections to search for cavities in the lower floors! Set up a defense line on the spot, install high-frequency communication devices, contact the surrounding reinforcements, and the headquarters to report our location!"

"The 433rd Regiment, and the Iron Broken Tooth Commandos, come with me! Go to the city station!"

Of course, the Imperial Army has Marshal Li's simplified map of Grad. This was drawn by Major General Aduka when the two sides were still "good neighbors and friendly" on Yaochi Planet.

Generally speaking, the entrance to the urban lower space must be the rail station hub, which is in line with basic urban planning principles.

Nearly 2,000 grenadiers wearing power armor moved toward the station based on a crude map. But soon, General Woflin discovered that he could no longer follow the shortest route. Collapsed high-rise buildings, bridges and tunnels turned this huge emerging city into a crisis-ridden maze.

The battle started after the troops he led separated themselves from the 171st Regiment, which was on the spot.

He didn't know how many attackers there were, or how many enemies he had killed. Brigadier General Woflin only knew that there were explosions, shootings and shouts of death everywhere, as well as the sudden rise of dense fog, turning the huge city into separate small battlefields.

He soon lost contact with the two regiment headquarters, and soon after, he could not find the nearby company commander.

Soon, the dignified general suddenly discovered that there was only one guard squad left under his command.

"XX's, just what I want!" He shouted loudly in the communication channel: "Soldiers, fight to the end! Our reinforcements will be here soon! We are in the heart of the enemy. The longer we fight, the closer victory will be! This Everything in the city is your spoils!"

He heard the cheers in the communication channel, but it always seemed a little thin, and it was more of an uneasy noise.

As a warrior who hasn't read many books, Brigadier General Mando certainly doesn't understand what kind of technology this is, not to mention that he has no time to think about it now. Within his line of sight, there are already enemies with loaded guns and ammunition.

The battle line was compressed to the extreme, and the density of killings naturally became denser. The Wulfling general and his guards fought and fled, trying to gather more soldiers, but they could not succeed.

Raiders appeared from all directions and moved nimbly through the ruins, dividing the Imperial Panzergrenadiers into smaller and smaller units.

This is a pretty tough group of enemies. Although most of their troops are indigenous Rumina and sand people, they are all outstandingly brave and fearless of death, and the mechas and ordnance they are equipped with are also very high-performance. Even a head-on confrontation is enough to go head-to-head with the most elite armored grenadiers.

This point, after two months of fighting, has already become the consensus of the imperial soldiers.

However, when he actually reached the city and launched a close-range ambush and breakout battle in the opponent's home field, Brigadier General Mando suddenly realized that he still underestimated these New World natives.

They are no longer ordinary natives, so a larger force should be mobilized to defeat them completely.

"Where are the reinforcements? Where are our reinforcements? Where are the promised reinforcements?" Brigadier General Mando roared loudly.

But now, no one can respond to him. Unknowingly, he had become separated from his guards.

The Wulfling snorted coldly, and then felt some strange emotions.

He dropped the rifle that had exhausted its energy, took out a high-mounted carbon crystal battle ax as big as a windmill from his back, and turned to face a tall and burly figure who appeared beside him.

"Ke, Brigadier General Keita?" He said solemnly, with fear and even panic suppressed in his hoarse voice.

"...Um, oh, your name is Mando, right? Hahahaha, last time we drank together at the Steel Wolf Officers Club, and we even called each other a chick! Hahahaha, long time no see."

This is also a Wulfling general, also wearing the imperial "Grace" heraldic machine. However, the imperial military emblem on the left shoulder pad has been scratched by a knife. In contrast, the community military emblem appeared on the right shoulder. It looked like it had just been sprayed on, and the paint was not even dry.

This man is Brigadier General Keita, who was once the deputy commander of the Imperial Yaochi Garrison, and was also a powerful and heroic psyker. According to the official statement, after the despicable and shameless Earthlings launched a brazen sneak attack, he and the Yaochi garrison commander Major General Aduka died on the battlefield.

However, looking at how angry he is now, he doesn't look like a zombie who has come back to life at all.

Brigadier General Takai may have felt the complicated gaze behind the helmet of his old comrade, so he just shrugged and said: "If I told you that it was the spirit of the universe that resurrected me. Do you believe it?"

Mando gritted his teeth and said: "The country has long known about your surrender to the people on Earth. It's just that it has not been announced to the outside world."

"Oh, it was actually discovered? Hahaha, since you have discovered it, just tell it directly." Brigadier General Takai laughed sarcastically: "Why didn't you tell me? Is it because, the majestic empire A brigadier general, a life-long nobleman with a title, actually surrendered. If word spreads like this, will it look bad? But is the face of the Privy Council gentlemen really so important?"

"Traitor! You traitor! Do you know how others treat us? All senior Wulfling officers were interrogated by the Grand Inquisition. Even the Steel Wolf Club was disbanded. Obviously, oh our Steel Wolf Club We are all loyal imperial officers! We all live our lives obviously! But it’s all because of you..."

"Then I don't understand? Why should my behavior be elevated to that of all Wulflings?"

"Stop, shut up!"

"What I don't understand even more is that there have never been fewer human officers who surrendered in history? How many noble nobles with a long history would surrender to the Alliance and enjoy decent preferential treatment? Why can't the Wulflings do the same? ? It seems that in this world, even if you want to be a dog, you will never get it."

"Shut up!"

With an angry roar, the battle ax in Mando's hand turned into a fiery flash.

However, his opponent just sneered, took a step back, and raised the blaster cannon in his hand.
