Chapter 457: The war situation has changed drastically

The arrival of the Raging Flame Legion is the savior that the Star Territory Government has longed for.

In their understanding, as long as a serious Space Marine battle group like the Legion of Fury arrives, then all problems should be solved.

But in fact, this is not the case.

The Wrathful Flames are a standard Space Marine Chapter - or so they appear to be. What came was the genuine One Thousand Fury Flames; they had an entire fleet of Space Marines, and the mortal servants and mortal auxiliaries in the fleet were also very normal.

Can such a battle group really turn the tide of the war as they expected?
It is indeed possible.

At least, after they arrived and participated in the battle, the situation on Jindi Star did not deteriorate further.

The Space Marines used their best tactic, which was also very effective against the green-skinned orcs - beheading.

On the ground battlefield, the beheadings of several orc warlords who led the battle were all successful.

The attack on those warlords directly caused serious chaos in the greenskin's ground offensive.

On both the ground and space battlefields, the orcs were very angry because they had not found any bargains. However, Titus' ability to become the warchief meant that he possessed not only bravery and domineering, but also indispensable cunning and wisdom. of.

They launched a gang-hopping raid on the Greenskin flagship.

However, during this entire process, they also paid a heavy price. A chapter champion and a company commander were killed in this battle. Of the entire elite team that went into battle, only one third was withdrawn.

Even if the Raging Flames drag the battle into close combat, which they are best at, are the most elite among the green-skinned orcs afraid of close combat?

The human army is also fighting. The leader of the Raging Flame Chapter, Becker Matsis, known as the 'Fire Walker', took over all the command of the entire war zone and commanded the human army to fight. Several beautiful battles, annihilating a large number of orc elites, and even countering the greenskin offensive for a while.

They indeed fought their way out again, boarded the corresponding spaceship, and left the battleship.

After someone broke off, someone took the bomb that was supposed to enter the core of the ship and detonate it, and then exploded anywhere. Even if it cannot destroy the ship, it can at least cause considerable damage to the green-skinned flagship. Moreover, they can also create chaos on the warship to facilitate their evacuation.

However, the battle moon was still fierce, and combined with the original Iron Teeth flagship, which was a powerful warship at least as high as a battlecruiser, it finally drove away the Fierce Soul.

This is the summed up experience of the empire and the greenskins when they fought across the entire universe, with almost no exceptions.

That obviously won't happen either.

What they hoped for most was to catch Titus there and behead the great chief of the Orc Empire. As long as this is eliminated, the entire Greenskin Empire will fall into a long period of chaos and collapse, and a large-scale civil war will occur.

In space, the battle barge named 'Fire Soul' where the Raging Flames participated in the battle also put a lot of pressure on the greenskins.

They had never been beaten like this before.

However, this gang-hopping plan failed to succeed. Titus was indeed there, and they did find it, but during the fight, the Black Beast Guards around the warchief showed a fighting power that was no weaker than that of the Space Marines.

The Space Marine's mothership, called the Battle Barge, is even larger and more powerful than the average Imperial battleship.

But even so, after the Wrathful Flames entered this war, the greenskins received a wake-up call.

During the brief and brutal confrontation, the Space Marines of the Furious Flame Chapter soon realized that the capabilities of their boarding troops were not enough to eliminate Titus.

In its first attack, it caused damage to the Iron Teeth clan's battle moon, and even destroyed three green-skinned cruisers.

But even so, when the space warriors of the Wrathful Flames were 'forced' to evacuate, they took another blow.

At this time, their decision was also decisive. They readily gave up their original plan and began to retreat.

And if they fail to catch Chief Titus on the ship, they can fight by jumping gangs and destroy the enemy ship from the inside, which can be regarded as destroying a green-skinned core main battleship. It will definitely be of great help in future wars.

The green-skinned orcs, who had suffered serious losses, obviously became more cautious under his command.

On the surface, they shrunk their battle lines and no longer fought so aggressively; in space, they no longer expanded their battle lines needlessly, but instead hugged the entire fleet more closely, using the inconvenient and slow Battle Moon as their base. core.

This also makes it impossible for the Raging Flames to find any more opportunities.

The fighting style of the Raging Flame Chapter is actually revealed in their series of actions, which emphasizes being violent and ferocious.

However, after a failure, they also realized that the enemy they faced this time was not like most of the enemies they encountered in the Star Sea War, which could be quickly defeated by them.

Both sides have learned a lesson, and the entire battlefield situation has calmed down a little.

But this calmness did not last long. Soon, both sides began to show their magical powers. With the Jindi Star battlefield as the core and multiple surrounding galaxies as expanded battlefields, they began to engage in constant confrontations.

The Jindi Star is getting harder and harder to defeat. The greenskins will definitely think of ways from other star systems, and even try to invade the Yunluo Star Area from the Lower Plateau Star in the Snow Eagle Star Area to the southwest, trying to directly threaten the Dragon Eagle Star Area. the capital of.

But isn’t that a coincidence?

After realizing that the main force of the greenskins is on the Jindi planet, there are not many ways to fight the moon in the space battle, so they directly launch a fleet decisive battle. Even with the existence of the battle barge "Fierce Soul", they may not be able to take advantage. Therefore, Matthis also wondered whether he could open up a second battlefield, starting from the Snow Eagle Sector. If we can capture both the Upper and Lower Plateau Stars, and then attack from the Dragon Tamer Sector to block the northern side of the Steel Fire Dragon Sector, it will be equivalent to locking the main greenskin force inside the Steel Fire Dragon. .

The greenskins are weakly dependent on logistics, and that is also relative. Such a huge fleet and so many green-skinned troops are gathered around Jindi. If there is really no support from the rear, and there is no way to continuously plunder and transport new ships, troops, and supplies from the rear, then the orc army will It will also be significantly affected, and its combat capabilities will be significantly reduced.

Both sides had similar thoughts, so naturally, the high intensity of the war began to focus on the area around Jindi Star, and now the four or five surrounding star districts began to fight fiercely.

Just looking at Jindi Star, the intensity of the war may have dropped by a notch; but looking at the entire process of the war, it is obvious that the two sides fought more fiercely. …

When this series of information was delivered to Gu Hang, he felt a lot more relieved.

At least, looking at it now, the situation of the war has changed from the previous situation where the army was almost defeated and the orcs were crushing them all the way, to a situation where both sides are back and forth.

Gu Hang no longer has to worry that the star domain government will be quickly destroyed, and then the main force of the orcs will turn around to cause trouble for him.

However, Gu Hang soon had a new worry.

What happened on the Jindi star began to appear in the Temir galaxy.

When Yelicia led her fleet to the Temir system, her speed was still slightly faster than the orc reinforcements.

She integrated Zhao Shiliang's command, assembled the alliance fleet, and launched a fierce attack on the green-skinned orcs.

But Gu Hang already knew the orc warlord named Saru, and he was obviously not a fool with only recklessness in his mind. He knows how to avoid the sharp edge temporarily, and even pulls it on a wider battlefield.

He refused to engage in a decisive battle with the human fleet, but instead expanded the scope of the battlefield.

After suffering a certain amount of losses, it escaped the pursuit of the human fleet. But he has not completely withdrawn from the entire galaxy. He is still keeping an eye on the human fleet. Once the human fleet makes a strong move to provide large-scale orbital support to the surface of Temir 5, his ships will appear and threaten the human fleet. There is no way to devote yourself to supporting the ground.

Of course, such a threat is not enough. If the human fleet continues to fight regardless of everything, such as dividing the team into two parts, one part fights with the greenskins, and the other part continues to provide ground support, what can Saru do?

In order to solve this problem, some of Saru's ships went north and entered the Tongguan star area, and from Tongguan I, entered Cuiquan I in the Wuma star area.

This clearly means that if the alliance is really desperate to attack the Temir galaxy with all its strength, then it will be given to you.

However, don't think about getting it too easily, the price you pay will not be too small; at the same time, the orc fleet that can't be taken care of for a moment will march straight into the Wuma Star District, causing an uproar.

This is something Gu Hang cannot accept.

The Fog Horse Sector signed the Seven-Horse Agreement very early, only slightly later than the Hippogriff Sector. If there is huge turmoil here and the alliance is unable to calm it down quickly, the credibility of the Seven-Horse Agreement will be greatly reduced. Even the purple horses, side horses, and iron horses in the rear will be shaken and begin to doubt whether the alliance is really capable of ensuring their safety as they say.

After all, the prerequisite for transferring power in these star regions and planets, and even being willing to be sucked blood, is the safety guarantee provided by the alliance.

When the orcs really want to expand the scope of the war, the alliance has no choice but to follow suit.

Going to rescue the Wuma Sector means dividing the troops.

After the troops were divided, the green-skinned troops were driven out of Cuiquan I. The human fleet also moved north along the Wuma Sector, burning the war further into the Tongguan Sector, and even attacked Tongguan I and the Brass Galaxy. Come back.

There is only one industrial world in Tongguan I, but there are three human worlds in the Brass Galaxy. These two galaxies and four planets have a total human population of 6 billion. Due to years of war, the population has been severely damaged, and the industrial base has also been severely damaged, but at least two billion people are left.

The Alliance simply set up observation groups in these four worlds, supported acting governors, and allowed them to join the Seven Horse Agreement.

The operation method is similar to that on Temir No. 4.

On the one hand, try to migrate the survivor population as much as possible, leave the war zone, and send it back to the Pegasus star area to fill the core population of the alliance;
On the other hand, they try to mobilize the local population as much as possible, deliver weapons and equipment, arm them, and try to deal with the green skins that still exist on the planet by themselves.

The Alliance will provide munitions assistance and orbital fire support.

On this basis, they must also resume production as much as possible, and work hard to fortify the entire planet and build more orbital turrets.

But the greenskins obviously won't give up so easily. Their ships that just ran away but were not destroyed also transported troops from other places and sent them to the surface when they saw the opportunity; they would attack humans mysteriously. transport ship; even fired a few shots at the surface.

During this back and forth process, the green-skinned support fleet also arrived.

Overall, the Alliance fleet still has the upper hand in terms of naval strength on both sides. But the degree of advantage is no longer enough to form a crushing victory.

Moreover, the fleets of both sides no longer limited the battlefield to one star system, but expanded the battlefield to the two star areas of Jinguan and Tongguan.

The main army units on both sides were still fighting like a meat grinder on Temir 5, but the fleets were scurrying around. The orcs will attack the human supply lines, and the humans will of course have to defend them; the human fleets will also fight back, and the furthest places will even reach the Star of Light.

Guangfu Star is the Green Skin Empire, the only way from the Jinguan Star Zone to the main battlefield on the Western Front. A large number of resources transported from the core area of ​​​​the Greenskins to the main battlefield all go from here.

A Mad Shark and two Silver Swords formed a team and intercepted two waves of greenskin transport ships here, turning at least more than 200 million greenskins into space junk along with their transport ships and a large amount of war materials.

Such a heavy loss earned Saru another scolding. The orc army on the main battlefield on the Western Front was not going well to begin with, but the supplies were also suffering. Who would be scolded if he didn't like scolding? ,

Saru was also forced to act like the human fleet, detaching troops to go to the transportation thoroughfares in the rear, driving away human attacking ships, and protecting the safety of transport ships transporting supplies to the front line.

In general, the entire battlefield situation has become larger and wider for both sides.

And they have become more inclined to compete for 'internal strength'. Winning or losing one or two battles alone is no longer enough to change much. It depends on the overall background of both parties, who can withstand more losses.

This also puts greater economic pressure on the league.
