When the fleet of the First Legion completed its formation, the Red Pirates' commander had already found something wrong. However, relying on the "meat degree" that the waste ship, the Barbarian Crucible, could match the Inquisitive Truth, they were determined to launch a frontal impact and directly penetrate the frontal formation of the empire, so that they could avoid being surrounded. Anyway, many troops had been sent to the Moon of Destruction, and according to their vision, it was easy to seize this unmovable planet.
However, just as the Savage Crucible slowly approached towards the Indecisive Truth, which was behind the Moon of Destruction, unexpectedly appeared—
The Moon of Destruction, which the Red Pirates thought would not move, slowly moved!
As early as the construction time, Soshiyan ordered the Mechanics to install a large number of single-use super-power thrusters in the propulsion part of the Moon of Destruction. He had no intention of really letting this thing attack Huron from the beginning. Its real function is to surprise the other party in an unexpected way when the fleet of the Red Pirates approaches!
"This is...the plan of the commander of Soshiyang."
Sappho looked at the gradually accelerated Moon of Destruction and opened his mouth slightly in surprise.
"It seems that he knew in advance that the Red Pirates would have such a waste ship? Otherwise, it would be impossible to arrange such a tactic by such a coincidence. After all, even if there are more thrusters installed in this Moon of Destruction, its speed will not be very fast. It is difficult to hit ordinary ships, but the space waste ship with zero maneuverability is absolutely unavoidable..."
Azriel smiled and said nothing, but watched Moon of Destruction gradually increase to its maximum speed, and the ships of the Red Pirates immediately scattered like frightened fish.
But the ship can run, but the barbaric crucible cannot escape. Although it has incredible subspace power, this does not allow it to avoid a slowly coming asteroid at this distance of more than 300 kilometers.
With the slow to almost static scene, hundreds of kilometers of distances were fleeting, and the barbaric crucible seemed to crash into the moon of destruction. The huge hull collapsed in the violent impact. Many swallowed ships were thrown out directly, and large pieces of rock scattered everywhere. The silent scene could bring people an incomparable shock.
Eventually, the Savage Crucible lost one-third of its hull, while the rest was deeply embedded in the crust of the Moon of Destruction, like a huge tumor.
Azriel took a deep breath, and the moment he had been waiting for a long time finally came. After losing the Savage Crucible, the Red Pirates' fleet was simply waiting to be slaughtered.
"All soldiers, all brothers, attack! Eliminate these heresy for the sake of the Emperor!"
Just as the Imperial fleet began to encircle the surrounded Red Pirates, the defenders in the Moon of Destruction began to experience the real battle of hell. They not only had to face the troops that had jumped into the planet before, but also the enemies in the remaining barbaric crucible who were desperate and fell into desperate situations.
Since part of the Savage Crucible has entered the underground of the Moon of Destruction, a large number of enemies can directly enter the underground through this contact part. The first underground defense line that was already struggling to persist was immediately lost. The 310th Infantry Regiment of Abubakari suddenly became a front-line force, and the A-21-W-118-Z-008 defense zone they were in also immediately faced the craziest enemy.
At this time, everyone in the defensive base where the regiment headquarters is located is making final pre-war preparations, because the regiment in front of them has declared that the position has been lost twenty minutes ago, and the collision just now, which is comparable to a super earthquake also makes everyone feel scared. Many people even think that they will be buried underground forever. What's worse is that some passages collapsed due to impact, and some halls destroyed some fortifications due to huge rocks.
Now there is only one passage left behind the entire regiment. Two of the three defense halls originally supported are no longer available. Behind them is a rail transit center on the Second Ring Line. If it falls here, the enemy may attack the flanks of the surrounding friendly forces.
The order they received was to defend to retreat, or to send new reinforcements to arrive.
However, no one knows when this order will be issued and when reinforcements will arrive-
"Your camp is doing a good job."
Arni went down to the army and came to visit the dirt-covered Olanios and the others. At this time, Hayes and the others were eating the ration sticks voraciously. When they saw the commander, they immediately stood up and saluted.
"It's been hard for you to eat, you've eaten."
Arni smiled and pressed his palms down. Hayes and the others hesitated for a while before sitting down slowly.
“How is the loss?”
"18 were killed and 34 were injured, because we retreated early, otherwise at least half of the people would have to be told, and that place almost collapsed."
Olanios took the kettle and took a bite, then wiped his mouth.
"But the equipment loss is relatively large."
"Just make up for the amount you lack."
He turned around and said to Suhrab on the side:
"Calculate how much equipment they need for battalion."
"yes."
Then Arni called Suhrab aside and asked:
"What do you think about the next defense?"
"The enemy has many Chaos Space Marines and a large number of demon engines, so heavy weapons, especially anti-vehicle weapons, must be concentrated. Don't just click here and there. The three psychics in the regiment should be kept a close eye. Because a large number of sub-space enemies exist, they can easily lose control when using their power. Now our defense zone is compressed very small. It is recommended to move the command center to the back of the passage. The other team will only arrange half of the position and the other half as a reserve team. Otherwise, if the personnel are too dense, it will be easy to be killed on a large scale by the enemy's heavy firepower."
Arni nodded.
"Okay, I'll make arrangements now."
At this moment, he suddenly saw something, patted Olanios and walked over.
It was a group of ragged wounded soldiers, almost intact each, the blood and soil made them look like they had just dug out of the ground.
Arni recognized them from the numbers on part of their armor that they were the regiments that defended the front line before. When the Second Battalion was removed, he originally thought that the army had been wiped out, but unexpectedly, there were still 20 or 30 people who retreated, and there was a stretcher in between them.
"stop."
Hearing Alni's voice, the wounded soldiers stopped and looked at the stretcher, which was covered by a dirty white cloth.
"Who is carrying?"
A soldier turned around and saluted him. Only then did Alni notice that only one finger was left on the other's right hand, and the nose on his face disappeared.
"Report to the Chief, this is our leader."
"How many people are left in your group?"
"The whole group...is here."
Arni walked forward, gently lifted the cloth, and his pupils shrank suddenly.
This is not a person, just a half-baked arm, a bloody thigh without the soles of the feet, a few charred bones and a military cap.
He gently put down the cloth, took two steps back, and saluted the silent wounded soldiers, while they continued to walk towards the passage with their heads hanging down.
Chapter completed!
