Infinite Stream Metaverse

Chapter 342 Riding and Blade
As dawn dawned on the gray sky, as its first rays swept across the wasteland plains, sentries staring with sore eyelids at the cold, dust-covered earth.

Footsteps sounded behind him. The sentry standing guard, the sentry who was waiting to switch defenses, and the sentry wrapped in sleeping bags all looked back. It was Qingshan Khan, the commander of the Iron Buddha Chapter, leading several space fighters, Patrol the perimeter defenses.

Several thinly clothed sentries quickly got up to salute, and stared at the group of space fighters in black gold power armor with awe.The tall ceramic steel giant looked very indifferent, the eyepiece scanned them and then the surrounding fortifications, then turned and left.

They didn't speak—perhaps they did, on the intercom channel, but it was clear that the Space Marines didn't want to share those conversations with them.

The sentinel guessed right, Fu Qinghai was indeed discussing the defensive deployment of the hive capital with several subordinates.

"Minefields, barbed wire, tank traps, anti-tank trenches...it looks pretty decent."

Fu Qinghai's voice sounded on the communication channel.

The trenches and parapets connected to the bunkers were simply reinforced with quick-hardening cement and plastic steel bars.The bunker is equipped with multiple perforations for heavy weapons, sandbags are piled up around the weapon positions, and roadblocks composed of oil tanks filled with gravel, corrugated steel plates and bulletproof armor are specially arranged at the passages.

This is the outer line of defense outside the wall, and the main body of the hive including the wall is protected by multiple void shield arrays.

"Sturdy fortresses are often breached from the inside. It took a lot of time for Satfaran and me to identify, screen and eliminate the heretical forces inside the Hive City."

Kalamanda said.

The planet Kernak [-] is not big. It is the only hive city where a large number of human beings gather. Fu Qinghai first needs to confirm its defenses to ensure that the hive is safe and sound, and then consider whether he can go out and kill the orcs and Traitor, otherwise the Hive Capital would not be defended, and this battle would be in vain.

Now it seems that although the local planetary defense force is the same as most planetary defense forces of the empire: morale is average, training is sparse, and equipment is poor.But at least they've put some effort into building their fortifications, with no obvious loopholes.

As for blows from space orbit...

Suzheng and Warhorse were moored above the Hive Capital.

"Call the Planetary Governor over here."

After the inspection, Fu Qinghai said.

……

On the balcony of a watchtower.

The governor of the planet hurried over in disheveled clothes, brocade embroidery and emerald-studded robes, brought a few servants to Fu Qinghai's side, and said flatteringly:
"Master Battle Leader, I heard that you are looking for me?"

Fu Qinghai looked into the distance and said:
"The fortifications are well built, go back and strengthen it, from semi-permanent to permanent fortifications."

A trace of hesitation flashed across the planetary governor's face:
"Uh, what do you mean... this war will last for a long time?"

"Do not."

Fu Qinghai shook his head, and stretched his fingers to the distance:

"what is that?"

There was some smoke and dust rising in the distance.

"That's a greenskin, my lord."

Fu Qinghai raised his finger to the sky:
"What's that?"

The sky was clear and the sun was blinding.

"That's the sun, my lord."

"There are green-skinned spores and the sun shines. What does it mean? Under photosynthesis, even if I kill all the Orcs now, you will still have to spend one or two hundred years to completely wipe out the Orks on this planet." Clean up."

Fu Qinghai said calmly:

"So it's just my suggestion. I suggest that you strengthen the fortifications. After all, we won't be stationed here forever, and there will be more wars in the hive world in the future."

"I see, my lord."

The planetary governor nodded and said.

……

Fu Qinghai is dispatching troops and generals.

To be honest, he doesn't really understand the role and positioning of traditional cavalry in the era of interstellar war.

The Death Corps of Krieger is a large and complete regiment of the Imperial Guard, they have infantry, artillery, grenadiers, and armor.Kriegs are particularly good at siege warfare, and they have a variety of burrowers.The three major military sequences of the Empire: Space Warrior, Mechanicus, and Imperial Guard, Space Warriors do not have their own earth-penetrating vehicles, but Krieger does.

Strictly speaking, the death cavalry is only the second-line force of the death corps. It was during the civil war in Krieger. Because the civil war ran out of resources and there was not enough fuel to refuel the tanks, the cavalry was reintroduced, because the actual combat effect was not bad. Not bad, so it was retained after the Civil War.

What the death troopers do is the work of the sentinel mecha, reconnaissance, harassment, guerrilla, support... It is not considered the frontal force and main force of the Krieger death corps.

And what is so special about Attila's barbarian cavalry?

Attila was a feudal world.

Krieger joined the Human Empire as a hive world. As mentioned earlier, the technological level of the hive world is similar to the overall technological level of the empire, while the technological level of the feudal world is about to lag far behind the empire.

The officials of the Ministry of Military Affairs realized the bravery of Attila's barbarian cavalry, and equipped them with a special cavalry weapon that was sufficient to participate in interstellar wars-hunting spears, but this could not change the fact that the traditional cavalry itself was very flawed.

In the 41K era, Attila's barbarian cavalry once repelled the invasion of space necromancers, but it should be noted that the necron dynasty itself was not strong, and Attila's barbarian cavalry also suffered heavy casualties and paid a heavy price .

Therefore, the two cavalry units were formed for various special reasons. Normally speaking, no one would still play traditional cavalry in the interstellar war era.

Fortunately, Fu Qinghai didn't completely rely on the cavalry units of the two imperial guards as the main force. He had three companies of space fighters, all of which were equipped with jet motorcycles—and this was what the cavalry in the interstellar war era should really look like.

The space fighters of the fifth company and the sixth company are taking the time to familiarize themselves with the operation of jet motorcycles. These young and completely different space fighters have never driven jet motorcycles in the past, and it takes a while to master them, but they are engraved in The genetic talent in the gene seeds allows them to master it very quickly, and they can quickly perform various fancy moves.

Although the defense of the hive capital is acceptable and safe for the time being, it is impossible for Fu Qinghai to allow the greenskins and chaos to occupy other areas on this planet, other vast areas.

All is ready except for the opportunity.

Now, Fu Qinghai only needs to wait for an opportunity.

A perfect time to go all out.

…………

Planet Karnak III, Garbage Hills.

Deep in the mountains of the hive world stands a rusted iron idol.On top of the ten-story building is a crude barrel-shaped head and a large patchwork face.

A cruel face, a grim face, a face full of Orc-like confidence and Ork-like strength, it towered among the sparse trees, surrounded by improvised improvised fences between the garbage pit and the technician boy in the factory where he lives.

Behind it were trees and fetid jungle mud.

The statue is looking down at the Orc shack, as if looking at the war in the distance. This is obviously an unfinished statue. The messy Ork shacks are scattered around the statue, and the rags picked up by the scavengers are piled up in the gaps. , the technician boy is picking and choosing, pondering, and then starting to splice.

Li Hanxing put down the binoculars.

His face was hidden under the gas mask. Although he couldn't see his expression, his breathing obviously started to become short of breath.

Ancient rubbish!
Orcs are making ancient garbage!

Li Hanxing doesn't know much about Orc vehicles, but judging only by its size, this unfinished behemoth is by no means a mecha unit like Killer Can, Gorgo King Kong or Mao Ge King Kong, but a serious Titan. unit.

When their titan unit and their siege weapon—the ancient giant garbage are manufactured, can the defenses of the hive city withstand the blow of this behemoth?

"Purlulu."

The sitting biochemical beast snorted.

The sharp hooves stomped on the grass.

"Sir, what should we do now?"

A death cavalry beside him asked.

He is asking: Attack?Or go back and report?

Li Hanxing pondered and hesitated in his heart.

The task Qingshan Khan arranged for himself was just to scout the enemy, and he didn't have an order to fight, but the opportunity is very rare right now - the fleet of the Xie Ri clan has disappeared, and there are only a group of technician boys and farts in this temporary stronghold.Although the technician boy is not bad at fighting, he is not the real main force after all. This hill is far away from the hive city. If he returns now... the next time he comes back, the orc's ancient garbage may have been completed.

Li Hanxing picked up the telescope again.

Take another look at the statue:
The orcs were using cranes and hinges to hoist a huge multi-barreled revolver weapon on the shoulders of the ancient garbage, and a group of grits were lined up, chanting "hey, hey, hey" under the whip of the orc overseer, Pulling the rope under the pulley block, trying to drag a cannon with a weird orc style.

At this moment, outside the fence behind the garbage truck and the garbage pile, in the dense bushes, a pair of cunning eyes are also looking at the death troopers on the top of the hill in the distance.

The orc hunter was dressed very differently from the technician boy in the stronghold—mud and battle paint were smeared on his face, fangs and claws hung around his neck, and a large ragged animal skin vest was draped over his body.

The orc patiently stroked the Scrooge war pig under his crotch, and signaled the mount to stay calm. This round and strong red monster twisted restlessly and rubbed against the rough tree trunk next to it.As the corners of the orc's mouth curled up, the hooked fangs protruded more and more, and a pair of cruel and cunning eyes stared closely at Li Hanxing.

Can't wait!
After thinking about it, the death cavalry company commander finally made up his mind and said:
"Cancel the radio silence and inform the Hive Capital of our current location coordinates."

"receive."

The death trooper with the messenger caster on his back immediately picked up the microphone and began to transmit the message.

After the cavalryman finished operating, Li Hanxing grasped the hollow metal barrel of the hunting spear with his right hand, and lifted the reins of the biochemical cavalry with his left hand. The horse "Herod" neighed and said in a deep voice:

"Everyone, rush with me!"

……

The top of the hill.

The death cavalry whipped their horses, and the war horses began to speed up. Various stimulating drugs have been injected into their blood vessels. The metabolism and hormone secretion are intensifying, making the war horses more aggressive and fierce. These biochemical cavalry without body hair and tails The beast's nose began to emit scalding hot air.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The ground began to tremble.

The tremors grew stronger.

In the stronghold not far away, the technician boys who were busy with their heads were taken aback, subconsciously stopped their work, and looked up over the fence.

The sun shone on the gray chrome-plated plastic-steel breastplates of the death cavalry, and the reflection was slightly dull. A row of hunting spears and lances stood tall, and flags fluttered.

"Wow!"

It was the farts who exploded in an instant.

They dropped the ropes and parts in their hands one after another, scurrying in all directions in a panic, like a group of headless flies, despite the crackling of the orc supervisor's whip, the vibration of the ground spread into the grit's heart along the soles of its feet, before it could organize its defense , these low-level orc creatures have already collapsed first.

"Xiami, Xiami is here!"

An orc opened his mouth to yell, and the mechanic boys grabbed every available weapon, from poker guns to machetes, and even wrenches, crowbars, and screwdrivers.

However, before they were ready, Li Hanxing took the lead, leaped over the low fence, and trampled on the chest of the orc with a sharp hoof the size of a human head.

"Oh!"

The burly orc's chest collapsed, his ribs were broken and his internal organs were crushed, and he died immediately. The death cavalry behind him followed the company commander and rushed into the stronghold, trampling the fence to pieces.

The tip of the spear in Li Hanxing's hand was raised, instead of using a hunting spear, he manipulated the horse to slam the orcs who were blocking the way. Pang Bang" brought a group of boys over.

Sporadic gunshots sounded, and the bullets hit the horses, splashing clusters of blood. However, these biochemical beasts seemed to have no pain, and they were still charging forward.

It wasn't until he rushed in front of Gu Jujun that Li Hanxing lowered his body and pressed the hunting spear. The tip of the spear stabbed hard on the joint of the Iron God Statue. The promethium tank under the tip of the molten spear sprayed out an extremely compressed yellow flame jet, and the hinge Fuse together with the gears!
"Crack...creak..."

The half-finished Gu Jujun tilted his body.

Li Hanxing threw down the disposable hunting spear, turned over to avoid the attacking chain axe, pulled out the laser pistol at his waist, and raised his hand to shoot.The death cavalry behind them imitated the example and stabbed their hunting spears at the ancient giant garbage. Amid the continuous explosion of plasma spear points and hot melt spear points, the steel giant fell to the ground with a bang.

Smoke and dust filled the stronghold, and the death cavalry slowed down one after another. The sheds, rags, and garbage prevented them from galloping on horseback, and could only draw out their sabers and pistols to fight.

Fortunately, the morale of the orcs has collapsed...

Li Hanxing was thinking in his heart.

The biochemical beast under the crotch has already lowered its head and bit the corpse of a snotling, chewing the squashed little green skin and swallowing it. The horse's broad chest is full of pits of flesh and blood. Blood trickled down the horse's legs.

"Waaaagh—"

A roar interrupted Li Hanxing's thoughts.

The smoke slowly dissipated.

Li Hanxing suddenly turned his head and looked, the entire stronghold was already surrounded by densely packed orc cavalry, with two-legged red-skinned Squig war pigs under his crotch, and a green coiled snake battle flag different from that of the Xieri clan tied on his back. They had grim smiles on their faces, holding exaggerated killing saws and power claws with flickering arcs in their hands, looking at the death troopers with malicious intent.

There are even giant Squigs carrying giant cannons and carriages, and wearing thick armor, like hills.

Snake Bite Clan!

when did they come
Under the gas mask, Li Hanxing's face was pale.

The most powerful hunting spears have all been used up, and only the death cavalry with ordinary sabers and laser pistols are left. What do they use to fight the war pig cavalry of the Snakebite clan?

"Hey Hey……"

The orc cavalry headed by drove the pig to come.

This orc is surprisingly strong, with an iron jaw, a hard head, and a scrooge leather armor. Under its crotch is a white scrooge dragon, smiling as it walks, showing a mouthful of yellow fangs. Muttering in half-baked Low Gothic:

"Crush the dried shrimps, use your head as a chamber pot!"

"The shrimps are all dead, and the ground is filled with plasma!"

Li Hanxing took a deep breath, ignored the orc boss's words and taunts, drew out his saber and held it in the air, and shouted in a low voice:
"Death troopers, assemble!"

In the stronghold, all the remaining death cavalry formed a circle and gathered around Li Hanxing, with the heads of horses unanimously facing the outside.

Facing the besieged beasts of the death cavalry, the boss of the orcs showed no fear at all. He continued to walk a few steps forward, raised the chain saw ax in his hand, pointed at Li Hanxing's head, and said:
"Boss Xiami, thin and dry, I want to..."

"Shh!"

In the shed next to the boss of the orc, a black shadow flashed in an instant, the lightning claws in his hand went straight up, and the four sharp and long claws wrapped in the cracking force field ruthlessly pierced the boss of the orc's iron chin and hard skull , emerging from the sky cap.

! ! ? ?
The death troopers froze.

The orc cavalry were also stunned.

Sutterfaran withdrew his Lightning Claw, turned his head to look at Li Hanxing with a sluggish face, and said lightly:

"I'm here to take prisoners, what are you here for?"

"Are you here to die?"

Before Li Hanxing could answer, the roar of engines and the howling of piercing air sounded in the sky, "咻——", five jet motorcycles passed over the orc stronghold, and several stasis bombs were dropped.

"boom--"

Several orcs are locked in the time-dilated ball of light.

On the top of the hills around the stronghold, several war horses climbed up the ridge one after another, carrying guard soldiers dressed as nomads on their backs. They held hunting spears in their hands and looked down at the orc stronghold at the foot of the mountain.Then, more and more cavalry appeared on the ridge, forming a new ridge, densely packed with black heads...

Tariha raised his hunting spear with one hand and shouted loudly:

"Attila barbarians!"

"Huh! Ha!"

3000 people uttered a battle cry like a mountain roar and a tsunami.

"Follow me, charge!"

"Warhammer 40: Mount and Blade"
