Star Survival: The Rise of the Fourth Scourge

"Da da!"

The sound of gunshots like tearing cloth suddenly resounded throughout the world.

The fiery red bullet marks turned into fire dragons and swept away at the charging orc motorcycle.

"laugh!"

Wherever it passed, the green-skinned orcs were smashed into pieces.

The Astra Militarum soldiers behind the Leman Russ tanks also began covering fire.

The laser rifle in his hand shot out red beams.

The on-board weapons of the accompanying armored vehicles also began to spit out tongues of fire.

The dense metal storm caused heavy losses to the orc motorcycle gang.

They were about to rush into the Astra Militarum lines, but were destroyed one by one.

"Destroy the opponent's artillery position immediately, quickly!"

On the top of the dune, Pine has been observing the battlefield situation.

On the battlefield, the two sides were already exchanging fire.

Fire marks, bullet marks, and rumbling explosions were heard.

The only thing that can cause damage to the army is the Orcs' long-range artillery.

It is extremely powerful, no less powerful than a basilisk.

Although they are not as numerous as the Basilisk Self-Propelled Artillery, their firepower is extremely fierce.

From time to time, a mushroom cloud of flames will rise in the Astra Militarum's lines.

Following Pine's order, the Basilisk Self-Propelled Artillery Position stopped firing.

The long barrel was lowered slightly, locking the green-skinned orc's artillery position.

"Fire, let go!"

With a loud roar from the flag bearer.

Hundreds of basilisks self-propelled artillery roared.

The muzzle of the cannon shook violently, spitting out long tongues of flame.

Seconds later, in the oasis.

Fire flickered across a large area, and mushroom clouds of flames rose into the sky.

The huge power blew away a large amount of vegetation, and some metal debris could also be seen among them.

One shelling completely silenced the orc artillery positions in the oasis.

"Each regiment stopped advancing, fought and then retreated, focusing on defense and avoiding close combat with the enemy."

At this time, on the battlefield, the Orc army was less than five miles away from the Astra Militarum line.

Payne gave the order for the regiments to stop charging.

Following Payne's order, the Astra Militarum regiments that were covering each other's advance on the battlefield suddenly stopped advancing.

The advancing Leman Russ tanks began to retreat.

Behind the sand dunes, the Basilisk self-propelled artillery roared again.

The rumble of artillery fire echoed throughout the world.

A few seconds later, mushroom clouds of flames suddenly rose from the orc army.

Glittering firelight, surging flames, and shock waves swept through everything around them.

A large number of ferocious-looking green-skinned orcs were swallowed up by the flames, their bodies were torn apart, and they were blown away by the shock wave.

Faced with the bombing, the green-skinned orcs also responded.

There is a very strange unit in the orc army.

Similar to a mecha, it has an orcish appearance and structure.

It is nearly five meters tall and walks on two legs.

They stopped, their bloated sides rising slightly.

The diameter of the fire flickered, and the whistling sound of "Woo-Woo" resounded throughout the world.

From weapons similar to rocket nests in their hands, they fired a series of twisting and flying missiles.

Just like a goddess scattering flowers, dense missiles flew twisted in the sky and rushed towards the Astra Militarum line.

"boom!"

A dense explosion suddenly occurred in the Astra Militarum's line.

The missiles may seem small, but they are incredibly powerful.

Only the Leman Russ tank can withstand a hit.

Once the armored vehicle behind it is hit, it will be destroyed.

Those big guys also became the focus of Leman Russ tanks.

For a time, the sound of artillery boomed on the battlefield, and both sides came and went.

"Don't the green-skinned orcs have flying units?"

Pine had been paying attention to the movement in the oasis.

If the Ork barbarians only have the few troops on the battlefield, the victor will only be the Astra Militarum.

Although the army of green-skinned orcs began to become densely packed and overwhelming.

But their number will not exceed ten thousand.

It's just that they are scattered and chaotic.

Its charging momentum is extremely fierce, which will give people the illusion of infinity.

Compared with before the battle started, the number of green-skinned orcs has been greatly reduced.

In such an open place, both sides are targets.

It's just an extension of the Astra Militarum's Leman Russ tanks and armored vehicles.

But the green-skinned orcs don't have this condition.

They were directly exposed to the firepower of the Astra Militarum.

Although they are armored, they will be quickly penetrated by continuous fire from the laser rifles in the hands of the Astra Militarum.

Pine had been worried that the Orks would have air units.

Although he has dozens of Hydra anti-aircraft tanks in his army.

However, the mobility of air units is enough to cause a large number of casualties to soldiers before being shot down.

Although he also has the right to call for aviation support.

But at this time, he was too far away from the frontline base.

Even if there are aviation patrols in the nearby airspace, it will take time to get there.

In terms of the speed of arriving at the battlefield, it is naturally unable to compare with the defending Ork barbarians.

However, it turned out that Pine's worries were unfounded.

The oasis he attacked was just a small tribe of Ork barbarians.

The battle lasted for more than an hour or two. Until the last green-skinned orc fell, no orc aerial units appeared.

Shatuo star, orbiting over the North Pole.

Imperial fleet, flagship.

"The initial operation went well. The Astra Militarum has already attacked near the equator and is advancing west and east. In order to better cooperate with the ground troops, the frontline base is divided into two. Wherever the main force attacks, the frontline base will be built. Well, with the main force opening the way, the airspace behind is safe. As long as the transport ship flies at low altitude, there is no need to worry about being locked by the green-skinned orcs' missiles. "

To put it bluntly, the forward base of the Astra Militarum is the docking place for the Storm-class transport ship.

When designing the Storm-class transport ship, the needs of combat in the atmosphere were taken into consideration.

Therefore, it is equipped with an anti-gravity device and has the ability to fly within the atmosphere.

The Storm-class transport ship is not small, it is a big guy with a length of two kilometers.

Therefore, there is a great demand for the strength of the hull structure.

It is precisely because of this that the cost of building a Storm-class transport ship is very high.

Almost equivalent to a Cobra destroyer.

In order to reduce the weight of the transport ship, the Storm-class transport ship does not have too thick armor.

It can be said to be a real thin-skinned filling.

Half a month has passed since the expedition fleet arrived at Shatuo Planet.

The ground battle was going well.

Although there are a lot of green-skinned orcs on Shatuo Planet.

But it is a piece of loose sand, scattered in various oases.

Perhaps the orc expedition fleet took away most of the orcs.

As a result, the scale of the green-skinned orcs on Shatuo is relatively limited.

Although the green-skinned orcs reproduce very quickly.

But it could not return to its heyday in just a few years.

The ground troops were devastated wherever they went and did not encounter strong resistance.

Listening to Malen's report, Li Meng looked thoughtful.

"Is there a gathering of Ork barbarians?"

Malen, who was standing aside, shook his head and said: "No gathering phenomenon has been found yet. The desert has effectively isolated their contact."
