Warhammer 40: Gods Of Mortals

Chapter 987 The blow outside Terra
……

Beyond Terra's Orbit.

No matter how harsh the environment on Terra's surface is, the void outside Terra remains peaceful and peaceful without contact with the Cygnus X anomaly, the Eye of Terror.

There is nothing outside the void, nothing visible to the naked eyes of all humans on the surface and to the detection equipment mastered by warlords, but in fact it is already very prosperous here.

With the blessing of detection interference devices and invisible force fields, there is a huge space station hidden outside the orbit of Terra. A formation of unmanned transport aircraft fills the distance from the top of the Himalayas to the space station. Countless supplies are transported from the surface To the space station, of course, including the personnel.

This kind of void facility that is not on orbit at all is better called a void fortress than a space station.

Malcador rode a transport plane into the invisible force field, and everything here was captured by his naked eyes.

The transport plane flew towards the huge void building and was deployed by the system to a landing point that could access the space station faster.

After the transport plane docked with the space station, Malcador entered a single-person aircraft to travel through this huge void facility.

On the ground are neatly arranged armies, the mortal armies of the Fire Lord, including their weapons and heavy armored vehicles, as well as those iron-man-like killing machines.

Outside the place where the mortal army is preparing is where the Thunder Warriors and the Imperial Guard gather. These superhuman warriors are making all preparations for the upcoming battle.

Taranis, the commander of the Thunder Warriors, did not respond immediately, but thought carefully.

Qin Mo said as he looked towards the open door, nodded after seeing Malcador, then turned back to Taranis and continued.

Twenty-one defensive positions marked by tactical instruction boxes.

When he opened the door, Malcador saw a vast room filled with various screens and crowded with people with different functions.

The emotional and physiological states of the improved products of the Thunder Warrior Project are very stable, ensuring that their humanity and characteristics before undergoing transformation will not be distorted to the point of extreme violence.

"With what we know, I need you to make a judgment, that is, if you launch an attack with the Thunder Warriors and the Mortal Army, what price will you pay?"

"The defense line they deployed is as we have seen. Even I, without personally leading the battle, would say that it is...impregnable."

Qin Mo, Waldo, Taranis, and the commanders of the mortal army gathered at the tactical table to discuss strategy.

Taranis carefully considered Qin Mo's question and scanned the screens in the room one by one.

When the single-man aircraft stopped, Malcador entered the top floor of the space station. He left the aircraft and walked towards the door at the end of the corridor.

"The Melanthem Alliance is indeed not easy to deal with. They have a large population, advanced technology, and military equipment."

Clear satellite imagery.

A close-up overhead view of each unique killing weapon and the results of the detection program's predictions of its effects.

During the more than two months of preparations for the war against the Melancen Alliance, the Melancen Alliance was also fully prepared, with twenty-one lines of defense, which could still be seen by satellites.

"Are you really thinking about that?" Qin Mo interrupted Taranis' thinking. When Taranis looked at the Lord of Fire with doubtful eyes, Qin Mo pointed to the twenty-one lines of defense displayed on the screen: "We shouldn't think about how to break through this line of defense, we should think of ways to forget about it. I don’t care at all.”

Taranis was stunned for a moment.

"He's right." Malcador walked to the tactical table, "You Thunder Warriors still like to go straight too much, you should learn to avoid their sharp edges."

"This is the tactic I want to tell you." Qin Mo walked in front of the screen around the tactical table and said as he walked, "The teleportation device will teleport the mortal army to the kennel of the Melanson Alliance, but there are Defense devices and information interference cannot be analyzed by transmission devices in places that are too deep, so you Thunder Warriors and Forbidden Forces will take the airdrop cabin of the orbital relay station and directly smash into places that mortals cannot teleport into. "

A holographic projection appeared above the tactical table, which was a model of an orbital drop capsule.

The characteristics of the airdrop pod are marked by several thin lines of light.

Taranis saw that this airdrop pod is equipped with laser drills and energy shields, as well as various heavy fire weapons and support devices. Even if the enemy is under the earth's crust, this airdrop pod can take the crew with it. Place you want to go.

"It doesn't matter how many lines of defense the enemy has."

"They will be slowly eliminated by orbital bombardment. There is no need for you to run over and attack the enemy's position after capturing the enemy's kennel."

The Orbital Drop Pod model was replaced with an Orbital Strike Station.

This is an orbital facility similar to an orbital relay station, equipped with ground attack weapons.

The existence of this kind of orbital weapon is the reason why the Lord of Fire firmly opposed the establishment of an air force in high-level meetings held in the mobile fortress in the past. Even though the Melanthen Alliance's air force is very powerful, it seems necessary to form a military branch to counter it.

But if you control the orbit, you don’t need the air force. Weapons on the orbit will turn any fighter aircraft operating in the space below low-Earth orbit into mosquitoes that are meaningless and unable to resist, unless they are deployed without sufficient time. Orbital weapons for planetary combat otherwise there would be no need for an air force.

"As for why they don't use orbital strike weapons to decapitate people, it's because they have powerful void shield devices, but there aren't enough of them to be used in the defensive positions where the cannon fodder is located."

After speaking, Qin Mo turned to look at Waldo.

The Lord Adeptus Custodes remained silent, expressing no opinion, for his understanding of the Emperor's orders was that he must obey the Fire Lord's arrangements.

"There are many civilians in the Melanson Alliance's lair, and a team of forbidden troops are needed to guide and protect the civilians until mortal soldiers take over." Qin Mo said hesitantly.

In fact, such low-priority matters should be handed over to the Thunder Warriors who are weaker than the Forbidden Army, but it is not feasible to let the Thunder Warriors be responsible for matters such as protection. Gaining the trust of civilians, guiding and protecting them is not what the Thunder Warriors are good at. .

But if the Custodes were allowed to do this, Waldo would have to convince his Custodes soldiers to send a team of people to protect civilians instead of fighting in the name of the Emperor.

"Okay." Waldo agreed without any hesitation and had no objection.

"That's it." Qin Mo closed the tactical table.

Waldo and Taranis left the command room and walked toward where the Custodes and Thunder Warriors were on the space station. The officers of the Mortal Army also dispersed.
