Of course, compared to the complicated and cumbersome landing operations, some people have proposed to directly solve the problem with a simple extermination order. Anyway, this world does not have much value, so it is better to completely wipe it out.
But Soshyan took a fancy to the key location of this area. From here, it is relatively close to the Sagan Galaxy and the Grief Galaxy. It is just within the range of long-range communication equipment. In this way, it only needs to build a large communication relay station on it and configure some Peripheral communication equipment can connect the communications between two galaxies without the help of astropaths.
Therefore, Soshyan plans to build this place into a route relay node in the future, turn it into a satellite fortress, deploy large detection arrays and subspace probes, and place detection satellites in the surrounding void, so that a cordon can be established. Be prepared for enemy raids on the Sagan system and block the smuggling routes to Signacs - many small smuggling ships do not have subspace engines and are first transported to the corresponding nodes by large smuggling ships before passing through The small boat ant moving mode transports the goods to the destination, which can avoid the inspection and patrol of the subspace jump node by the Imperial Navy to the greatest extent.
After everything was prepared, the power that could destroy an entire star region was poured onto the icy planet.
"Prepare to land."
Suddenly, the shriveled voice of the servitor sounded. Everyone stood up instantly, hung the chain saw on their waist, then picked up the bolt gun and their respective main weapons to quickly conduct a final inspection on it, and silently recited the battle prayer.
Jacob still held the sword, and at the same time he had a plasma pistol in his left hand. He did not check it because he had confirmed it countless times before setting off.
boom!
Suddenly, with a harsh impact, the Thunder Eagle shook violently, and everyone shook as well. Fortunately, the restraint device had not yet made contact, but Jacob guessed that the Thunder Eagle had been shot.
Fortunately, the Thunderhawk was already at a safe altitude.
"Left engine damaged, landing."
This time it was more of an emergency landing than a landing. Amidst the roar of the engine, the Thunderhawk slid to the ground with a roar, causing a harsh scream to resound in the cabin.
Then the hatch opened and the ramp crashed down.
"Let's go! Brothers, take action!"
Jacob yelled and rushed out of the cabin. He glanced around and found that they were in an open area with walls on all sides. There were some abandoned piles around it, which might be a storage area.
"Battle formation!"
The team members quickly formed a battle formation with Jacob as the center. He took out the auspicious device and took a look. There were many friendly troops around. Then he took a look at the sky. There were also Thunderhawks and airborne pods falling. At the same time, a large number of The Storm Crow and other fighter planes were frantically shooting at the green-skinned gun emplacement. The lair had been covered in flames and thick smoke, and there was basically no way to fight back.
If they move slowly, they may not be able to kill a single greenskin. I heard that the brothers of the Black Templar are very efficient in killing.
According to the plan, the 10th Company only needed to capture the storage area, but Jacob felt that this was overkill.
But an order is an order.
"go ahead!"
As he spoke, he turned on the company communicator, and then a burst of fierce gunfire mixed with the noise of beasts roaring and screaming came.
"Report to the company commander! The fourth tactical team has landed, please give instructions!"
Armin's voice came seconds later.
"Got it, you go and occupy the marked area now, and defend this position to prevent the underground greenskins from escaping. There are a lot of greenskins here, more than expected. Go to hell, you bastard! Jacob! Be careful, the Adeptus Mechanicus has dug the ground too deep. Many greenskins are hiding in the underground mines. The Chapter Master has ordered deadly poisonous gas to be poured into the ground. They will definitely swarm out like frightened cockroaches! We cannot let them escape. come out!"
"Received, execute the order resolutely!"
After taking a look at the marked location, Jacob quickly led the team and rushed inside.
As soon as they entered the mining station, their vision suddenly became narrow, because the ventilation facilities here had long been shut down, and a large amount of thick smoke could not be dispersed, making the visibility very low. Jacob immediately asked everyone to change their helmet vision to thermal imaging mode.
As soon as he switched vision, he saw three thick figures emerging from the fog, followed by more. Jacob spotted them in time, raised his sword and prepared to meet his opponent.
WAAAAAGH! ! ! !
With a harsh roar, they roared towards them. Half of Jacob's eyepieces were in thermal imaging mode and half in normal mode, so he could see their appearance clearly when they got closer.
These were the greenskins, and though Jacob had never seen them in person before, one look at their protruding jaws and rough brows told the beast's features enough for him to recognize them based on the knowledge instilled in him by the Crown of Knowledge.
Each orc is equipped with a crude pistol and a huge weapon similar to a meat cleaver. While the human opponents quickly form a fighting formation, these beasts do not consider any tactics at all. They roar forward and charge forward with red eyes. Sparkling under the temptation of blood.
"kill!"
The next moment, the bolt gun roared, shattering the huge heads one after another. The greenskins who had originally planned to hit the opponent by surprise fell to death before they could engage in battle.
However, their charge was just as described in the instilled knowledge. It was very terrifying. Even with such a dense rain of bullets, something still rushed up.
One of them charged towards Jacob, and he, recalling his simulated experience fighting the greenskins in the training room, stepped forward to meet the challenge.
When the opponent slashed hard with his sword, he pretended to parry with his sword, but at the last moment he dodged the attack.
The green-skinned sword fell into the air, and Jacob quickly thrust the sword into the enemy's opening. The sword hit the target with lightning flashing, piercing the thick skin and burying deeply into its chest.
When he drew the sword free, the beast roared in agony and fell backwards - the disintegration field had destroyed its entrails.
After a kill, he returned to his alert posture, because with a provocative roar, another greenskin rushed towards him brandishing a blade, trying to kill him with all his strength.
Jacob dodged the blow and made another fake move, as if he was going to turn right, and then suddenly rushed to the left. This action exposed the right half of the green skin's body with the knife raised, which made Jacob Bu was able to push his sword forward easily.
Amidst the screams, the blade of the sword pierced between the ribs of the beast, piercing deeply.
When he pulled out the sword, before the opponent could react, he stabbed his target again, this time in the throat, and cut off the head directly.
Jacob did not break away from the team, quickly retreated after killing the opponent, and retreated to a safe position beyond their reach.
Then he raised the plasma gun in his hand and fired continuously, killing several guys who were shooting randomly with big guns. The smoke also interfered with the green skin's sight, making their already poor accuracy even more outrageous, but stray bullets were also a big threat. .
During the battle, Jacob was focused on destroying the enemy and was only vaguely aware of the sounds around him.
As the enemy dwindled, he noticed he could hear the sounds of fighting nearby.
There are friendly forces fighting nearby, but according to the instructions of the auspicious device, other tactical teams in the company should not appear here, but there are always many surprises on the battlefield——
And the key is, the location of the sound is exactly in the direction they are going.
Book reviews are open, and the map of the maelstrom has been updated simultaneously with works related to it.
