Him and their stars

The marines led by Major General Misaro, who has a strong hairstyle, and Miss Knight Giafel are really working hard. They had just regained Yuanxiang City, but they had to fight for the fortress again.

In the entire battle of the Asti system, there was almost no fierce gang-hopping fighting. The stormtroopers led by the strong-haired General Misaro were like soy sauce for the whole battle, and they could get military honors just by lying down. . Now it's finally time for them to perform, and it's normal for them to work harder.

Sure enough, if you come out to hang out, you have to pay it back.

Fortunately, the battle to regain the Far Country went smoothly, and nearly 20,000 Marauder Chapter soldiers in the city were completely wiped out at a very small cost, including three psykers. The number of our own casualties has not reached three digits.

The biggest losses were actually the civilians taken hostage by the looters. Although exact figures are not yet available, it is said that more than 100,000 people died in the city's offensive and defensive battles. Some died from the aftermath of stray bullets and artillery fire, while others were the result of desperate plunderers seeking revenge before their deaths.

However, considering that the looters threatened to throw all 800,000 civilians in the city into the protein compressor before, "only" 100,000 people were lost this time, which is already pretty good.

This is probably why Brunhildt, after receiving the casualty order, just spent another minute to read the brief battle report of no more than 100 words, and then stopped asking any more questions.

Of course, there are probably still many remnants of predators walking in the deserts, hills and grasslands of the Far Country Star, as well as the surrounding towns and villages, and continue to endanger public security, but this is already a matter for the local government in the future.

Then, more than 10,000 armored grenadiers and elite stormtroopers who had just achieved a great victory only had time to have a meal and repaired for less than half a day before they once again engaged in the fortress landing battle.

King Suliuka is fully prepared to use his marines as livestock. In order to keep everyone fighting, Major General Misaro even ordered all soldiers to be injected with stimulants.

No one seems to think there is anything wrong with this operation.

Immediately afterwards, under the cover of the battleship firepower, the Marine Corps successfully launched a landing battle from the port area of ​​the fortress. Major General Misaro, who has a strong hair style, takes the lead and is unstoppable. You must know that this person is a war-mad "blood path" psyker, and he is also a fifth-ring "Victory Warrior".

As the name suggests, the more thorns it is covered with, the more blood it will bleed, and the more violent and powerful it will be... Of course, the actual situation is that in the "blood path" of this realm, within a certain period of time, every time an enemy is killed, By accumulating evil spirit and power, you will naturally become stronger.

To put it bluntly, it's an evil trick of killing people one after another to buff yourself.

In the previous battle to recapture the distant countryside, Major General Misaro naturally took the lead. It is said that he was the first to parachute into the enemy's position. He completely regards himself as a warrior who first ascends to the battlefield, rather than as the highest (nominal) commander with 15,000 soldiers under his command.

He drove his heraldry machine and carried two giant vortex swords that were so big that they could be used as propellers for helicopters, and broke into the enemy's formation, almost crushing them with force.

Thanks to this strong man's hard work, it only took the Imperial Army an hour to recapture the city.

According to the records of the computer carried by his heraldry machine, Major General Misaro killed at least four hundred people along the way, including two troll psykers.

And when they began to attack the fortress, Major General Misaro was of course at his peak, so he did what he had done in the distant city and did it again when he landed.

The looters originally wanted to save it. However, the two psykers on the front line of defense, with the reconnaissance support of the imperial fleet, looked like they were dancing in a mass grave, and they were immediately targeted by Misaro.

Therefore, in the tenth minute after the two sides formally engaged in battle, the Myshandar Troll psyker was hit on the spot by a giant sword as big as a door panel thrown by General Misaro. As for the other long-bearded demon, he was so frightened that he ran away, and then he was chased by Giafiel and shot you in the back.

The army of marauders guarding the port were scattered.

In short, neither the trapped predators nor the alien monsters that had become beasts caused much trouble. Half a day after landing, the Marines reunited with Brigadier General Kesore's troops.

The fortress security director was trapped for two weeks, but he still led his men to resist bravely until reinforcements arrived. No matter how you look at it, Brigadier General Kesore is definitely a hero. Of course, as the security director of the fortress, he lost control of the fortress and also lost the life of Admiral Selerius, who was supposed to be protecting him. According to the imperial military law, this would be severely punished.

So, after the brigadier general handed over the command of his men to Misaro and Giafel, he locked himself in a single prison, as if he was waiting for punishment at any time.

For a moment, it was difficult for Brunhild to judge whether this was a veteran knight full of honor and a single-minded man, or a master of showmanship. She didn't have time to tell the difference at this time, so she just ordered her subordinates to ensure the safety of Brigadier General Kesore, and the food and water supply must be in accordance with the general's standards. After learning that the other party had no intention of going on a hunger strike, Miss Xuanwang felt that the former was more likely, so she temporarily relaxed her mind and focused on the battle in the fortress.

To be honest, she doesn't need to worry too much about the battle to attack the fortress. Although Major General Misaro looks like a foolhardy one and is unreliable in the command position, Miss Giafel is. Quite reliable. As one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Astral Knights (youth group), she not only possesses outstanding supernatural and combat talents, but also has the judgment to serve as the core of tactics and command of the knight team. She has indeed shown her talent in the field of command.

Under her arrangement, the Panzergrenadiers and Stormtroopers advanced in batches of pre-organized combat units. Whenever they arrived at a fortress area, they would prioritize taking back control of the area's passages and life-support systems to ensure that they could Use the fortress's own abilities to kill enemies.

Of course, in this process, you will inevitably have to drill pipelines and climb trails, and you will inevitably have to deal with various insect swarms and little monsters, and there will inevitably be additional sacrifices. However, thanks to the advice of an expert who knows "no one knows the swarm better than me", the Stormtroopers improvised a variety of insecticides - straight from the nerve gas bombs carried by the fleet. The warhead was thrown into the warhead - one or two rounds would be thrown into each pipe, so the overall casualties were controlled at a pretty good level.

As for why the glorious Imperial warships carry such a discordant weapon as nerve gas bombs. All we can say is that this kind of thing really shouldn’t be talked about in too much detail.

"It seems that as long as we find the right method, these bugs are not very powerful." Miss Nelhana Mehra said.

In short, under the steady but flexible unified command of King Suliuka's best friend, the fortress attack went very smoothly. At the 12th hour of the official landing battle, that is, at 17:00 pm standard time on November 11, 832 in the common calendar, Brunhildt issued an order to stop the attack.

At this time, the Imperial Marines had successfully recaptured the fortress central control room, energy center, most warehouse areas, the first fortress defense command room, hangars 1 and 3, the first dry dock and other important areas and facilities. , and completed the rendezvous with Brigadier General Kesore’s holding force.

In the 12 hours of fighting, they lost more than 1,400 lives and killed and captured more than 50,000 marauder soldiers. There are countless different species of alien insects.

However, Brunhildt soon discovered that of the more than 1,400 people known to have died in the battle, 1,000 died in the last two hours.

Obviously, when the space for General Lange and his last men to move became smaller and smaller, they had to fight hard.

"Now, according to the judgment of the life source scanner, there are still about 100,000 looters in the fortress, but they have been suppressed in such a narrow space as Barracks No. 6, Storage Area No. 2 and Pier 12." Stana outlined an area on the fortress structure map. The current situation is clear at a glance. The area controlled by the predators is no longer 10% of the fortress.

"Comrade Lamut will report that we have captured twelve predator warships at Pier 4, plus those they destroyed during their retreat, it can be concluded that they have twenty-three warships left, all of which are They were crowded on the berths of Pier 12 and Dry Dock No. 2." Miss Chief of Staff added.

"I remember there were four large aircraft carriers and two battlecruiser-class fire-breathing ships, right?" Ms. Suliuka Wang couldn't help but be happy: "Sardine cans can't be stuffed like this."

"It's not difficult to understand. The Predator can even pack ten assault boats and hundreds of fighters on a light aircraft carrier. Naturally, it has special skills in utilizing space." Admiral Farrell said. His words may indeed be sarcastic to his enemies, but who's to say they aren't filled with admiration?

Brunhild thought for a moment and asked: "What is the main purpose of the No. 2 storage area that is still in the hands of the enemy?"

"Mechanical parts, energy packs, ammunition, a few military chemicals and crystal minerals." Miss Chief of Staff said.

"Oh, there is no food~~~~~" Miss Brunhilt said in a long voice.

Admiral Farrell and Major General Ostana Barr exchanged glances and instantly understood what His Highness meant.

"Let everyone stop the attack, maintain the front line and don't let the other side break through. The fleet changes direction and blocks Pier 12. In addition, it starts repairs and waits for the next order. Oh, at this time, the technical department landed and began to collect the alien debris." Renhilt ordered.

Ostana nodded and was about to leave when another message came from a staff officer: "Your Highness, Colonel Yu Lian just wanted to apply to us again. He said that it is almost possible to stop the attack now and further collect information about the insect swarm. Yes, I hope to accompany you."

On the projector, the female captain had a poker face, held two fists and stretched out her index finger to swipe in front of Brynhilt: "He also said that no one understands the insect swarm better than him. .”

Brunhilt was silent for nearly half a minute, and then he showed a headache expression: "...Is he sure that I will stop attacking?"

Admiral Farrell began to turn his head out of the window again, preparing to observe the ultimate secret of the universe of stellar evolution. Ostana could only smile and said: "I can only say that he and you have a tacit understanding. This is not a good thing." ?"

Brunhild glared at the other party, but Ostana had already quickened her pace and went downstairs, so the former could only say to the poker-faced captain who appeared on the screen: "Tell him that I am still very grateful for his selfless service." dedication, and a respectable spirit of internationalism. However, the empire has its own national conditions, and the glorious imperial army has no reason to let international friends endure danger for us for a second time. Please believe in his imperial friends We will also adopt the attitude of a responsible big country and share everything we have gained with the entire galaxy as soon as possible and when necessary."

The captain made a clear gesture with an expressionless face and exited the line.

King Suliuka impatiently drank a large glass of ice honey wine in one go, and then began to issue the next order in an orderly manner.

To put it bluntly, the fleet and army completely blocked the fortress and did not allow an enemy to escape. Shift from attack to blockade and defense, so of course you don't have to worry too much about casualties.

In addition, the working ships of the fleet must repair all monitoring stations, automatic trains, orbital energy compressors and other space structures destroyed by the predators. The technical ship also needs to find out the law of collapse of the No. 3 gravity well in this galaxy leading to the galactic center, and ensure that there are no predator reinforcements in the galactic center.

All in all, there are many things to be done if you want to regain this Lion's Den Galaxy. Originally, after the fortress was completely recovered, a special team appointed by the Chancellor's Office and the Grand Marshal's Office should carry out these tasks, but Brunhildt wanted to sit in front of everything.

During this period, she was renovating her troops while waiting for the raiders to run out of food and shut themselves down. At the same time, she also announced to nearby areas that the border alert had been generally lifted, and requested follow-up reinforcements to lead the marine troops to arrive. At the same time, she also noted that it was necessary A sizeable army of slave servants.

For the imperial military, non-human slaves and servants are just consumables and renewable resources, and the cost required is even less than ammunition and energy consumption.

As a result, the battle far away in the Modan Galaxy was fierce, but the main battlefield in the Lion's Den Galaxy was unusually calm.

Marshal Este, who was sitting in the Luyuan Galaxy, quickly responded: reinforcements from the Imperial Capital would arrive in the Extreme Star Region within twenty-four hours, and would rush directly to the Lion's Den. On the other hand, the Grand Marshal's Mansion had already completed the mobilization of the entire star region seventy-two hours ago. Now, the marine troops mobilized from various major star regions have arranged escort ships and are rushing to the lion's den in batches.

In short, based on this calculation, Brunhild will receive at least 100,000 marine reinforcements within three days (this does not include the cannon fodder of the servant army, because it does not count people), and will also receive reinforcements of at least 100,000 marines within ten days. A large fleet was replenished.

King Suliuka was completely relieved and felt that nothing would happen in the lion's den. The only thing worth worrying about is the movement of the Erro people's main fleet.

After the Battle of Asti, she had already learned from the captives that the main force of the Elor people, personally led by their trusted Great Khan, headed towards the Gate of Glory in batches and has since been lost.

She estimated that these fleets should be moving quietly along the channel close to the center of the galaxy. There are no inhabited star areas in this channel, only some observation stations and automatic mining fields, which is why it has not been discovered.

However, when they asked the Generalissimo's Mansion, they knew nothing.

Brynhilt also knew that the direction of the Gate of Glory was the heavy military group commanded by King Slenn. It was one of the front lines in the confrontation with the Alliance camp. Naturally, it also controlled one of the largest strategic clusters in the empire. It should be impossible for anything to go wrong.

……I guess so.
