The Protoss in Warhammer

Chapter 91 85. Battle of Croy (5)

Six o'clock in the afternoon, dinner time.

On the ground, in order to boost morale, the levy commanders distributed spirits and Gru beast meat to their soldiers, and also gave them a large number of cigarettes so that they could have a good meal before the war. And regular troops like the Astra Militarum even have movies and open-air performances, and their commanders don't even know where to invite some beautiful girls to reward them.

Encouraged by the food, the soldiers immediately regained their morale. After all, only the Astra Militarum can eat fresh food. They haven't eaten anything like this for a long time. Before, they only ate corpse starch and energy bars. Fresh food and meat are really rare. However, some veterans who have served for a long time will eat less at this time, because they know that if they eat too much, they will not have enough energy to think in future battles and will become drowsy. Will not survive until the end of the battle.

A general from the college mobilization team worked hard to climb to the top of Leman Russ. Under the tank were pots and pots of hot food and soup. The escorts next to him were struggling to stop the hungry soldiers. . The general cleared his throat and shouted:

"Listen up, maggots! It's time for you to dedicate yourself to the emperor soon! Today, the command headquarters decided to give you a feast. When I go to the battlefield, you will all give me 12 points. With spirit and effort, destroy those damn aliens and take back our property!”

After speaking briefly, the general immediately dodged, because the military police under his command were obviously no longer able to suppress the soldiers below. After the commander left, the military police immediately knew what to do. They fired several shots into the sky and shouted:

"Everyone, please stop crowding!! Come one by one, everyone is welcome!! Those who disobey will be dealt with according to the military law of the empire!!"

With the help of the military police, the tangled soldiers managed to form a column. In sharp contrast to these efficient mobilization troops is the Astra Militarum legion next to them.

Under the supervision of the political commissar, they finished their dinner neatly and quietly. For them, those things that were delicacies to the efficient mobilization soldiers were just their necessary food every night, and they really made them spend their efforts. Things are still to come, after all, things in bed can be very exhausting.

But among these chaotic mortal troops, two groups stood out. One is the Skitarii of the Cult of the Mechanicus. After they quietly eat the corpse starch and synthetic food, they return to their station and begin to hibernate. They will remember the teachings of the Mechanicus and will not do more, which will deplete their physical strength. thing.

While the auxiliary troops of the Astartes are all well-educated soldiers, the troops of the Raven Guard obviously prefer to collectively exchange poems they have written after eating, and disdain to engage in low-level entertainment activities.

But dozens of kilometers underground, the coalition soldiers were not in such a good mood.

The soldiers in Odessa are busy cleaning their equipment and replacing some damaged exoskeleton parts. These equipment, which everyone in the army has, is their life dependence, and they dare not be careless. There is no help from the Templars in the auxiliary army. Some of the remaining protoss are phase technicians. Only the Archon Guard is the real fighting force. The rest can only be borne by Odessa itself.

The nightlife of the space dwarves is much easier than theirs at night, because the ironborn warriors are happy to help them repair their exoskeletons, so they can come to the dwarf bar and drink a bottle of very strong algae wine. This delicious brew of the dwarves was created during the Golden Age of Mankind, when they separated from their own kind and lived near the center of the galaxy to mine. Due to the harsh environment, their food is usually algae grown in hydroponic rooms as their staple food, and these foods are naturally turned into wine.

Although most of the space dwarves have now been driven out of their original homes by the human empire and came to Damocles. But they still haven't forgotten how to make this delicious wine. A reminder from Netat that drinking too much would be tantamount to suicide for normal humans.

Soon, night fell, the soldiers on the ground were reveling, and the soldiers underground were preparing. But one thing is the same, that is, their commander did not sleep at all.

The young Chapter Leader of the Raven Guard is discussing the next action with his Chapter members. Although they are now isolated and helpless, it does not mean that they can be captured. If they can successfully defeat the enemy in the decisive battle, then In the future, you can use this as a bargaining chip to continue to defend this planet and wait for the support of the Ultramarines.

Vision, on the other hand, is thinking about how to conduct tomorrow's meeting and how to defeat the enemy with minimal casualties. But this time, while he was thinking about defeating the enemy, he was also thinking about doing something else. Although it was difficult to imagine loyalty to their god after learning from the Old Ones that the Space Marines were indelibly powerful, Farsight desperately wanted to capture a few Space Marines alive.

The next day, eight o'clock in the morning.

The Astra Militarum soldiers and Skitarii had all gotten up an hour ago, and they arrived dozens of kilometers away from the target point and began to wait. Since the expeditionary force does not carry weapons that can penetrate such a depth, they will blast the first layer of mines so that the main force can enter the first layer of mines.

After the warlord-class Titan had arranged the explosives for tunnel blasting, it began to use only volcanic cannons to bombard high explosives hundreds of meters away, successfully causing a sloping land that was strong enough to withstand the warlord-class Titan to collapse downwards, and arrived at the first-level mine at a relatively gentle angle.

When the people above began to carry out armed blasting, the coalition soldiers below had also heard the news, but they did not feel any surprise, because the imperial army had bombarded the surface caves several times before.

However, not everyone did not find the problem. The seismic observatory found that the direction they were bombarding was above the main base, and immediately reported to Farsighted.

"The enemy is bombarding above the main base? What a joke, the meeting is about to start."

Farsighted was embarrassed when he heard the latter. Although the other party might just happen to bombard in this direction, it could not be ruled out that the enemy might have discovered that their main base was under attack.

After thinking for a while, Farsight gave the final order

"Notify the defense team to adjust the alert level to level 2, and the meeting will be held as usual."

When it was almost nine o'clock, Farsight still didn't hear any more noise from above, and he breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the enemy just happened to attack here and didn't really find their base.

However, the Raven Guards had already begun to move towards the base. They successfully used a small tunnel and began to move towards the enemy's base quietly.

After 30 minutes of walking in the dark tunnel, they found their destination, a huge building complex. There was no doubt that this was the main base of the aliens here, and the think tank leader also discovered a powerful psychic signal.

The target was right in front of them.
