Chapter 152, It’s so big and green

Roast Ax, along with the sinful Terror Tank he was driving, were blown up by fifty rounds of 155mm howitzers falling from the sky.

Intense artillery fire came down, and he, who had just regained his power, had no time to leave the explosion range.

And his armor, no matter how powerful it was, could not withstand such a baptism of gunfire.

Of course, accidental injuries are inevitable during this process.

Within two minutes, there were still many soldiers on our side who had no time to run to safety. Even if they found bunkers on the spot, if they were too close to the explosion area, they would still die.

But this is the necessary price.

Gu Hang's proactive attack only minimized the cost.

Of course, it is valuable to save one or two hundred soldiers from dying.

The death of Roasting Ax also marked the complete collapse of the front that led the orcs to confront the human army in this area for more than a month.

Moreover, after their morale collapsed, the greenskins had no way to escape.

There are human armies surrounding them on both sides, and even if they can fly to the sky and escape, they still can't escape.

And this is exactly Gu Hang's goal.

What he wants is not just a defeat, but also an uncompromising battle of annihilation.

Although the casualties were not small in general, I am afraid that more than a thousand soldiers were killed or injured in the full-line attack. But the result was that at least 4,000 greenskins were wiped out. 70% of the enemies died.

Covered by the artillery raining down in the early stage.

At this moment, Gu Hang saw that new changes had taken place in his [Events] panel.

[Event: Green Skin Threat]

[The green-skinned orcs that appeared inexplicably on the planet have grown into a threat that cannot be ignored in the past few years. But under your leadership, the heroic warriors not only defended the intrusion of the green-skinned orcs, but also used orbital bombardment and artillery coverage.

, the whole army attacked and annihilated him

Their main strength. However, whether it is the intelligence from the front or your own feeling, these green-skinned orcs look very unusual. They do not look like wild orcs that developed independently on the Raging Owl Star, but they are also the same.

Not quite like the space orcs invading from extraterrestrial space.]

[Phase 1 Goal: Completed]

[Phase 1 reward: T5 level additional arms training option - Beast Slaughter Group, obtained]

[Phase 2 goal: Find out the reason for the rise of green skins. 】

[Phase 2 reward: an important piece of information]

…

In the [Event] panel, the first phase reward of [Green Skin Threat] has been settled.

Gu Hang can already see the training options for the new additional unit of the 'Beast Slaughter Group' in the [Weapon Card] interface. As long as it is a T5 or above unit, if you spend more gifts, you can add some resistance to green skins to the unit.

Orc's special attack effect.

As for the ‘beast-slaying’ attribute that was directly given to the third independent group for free, it can actually be included in the rewards of this first stage, saving him 60 points of gifts.

As for the second stage, that was what Gu Hang wanted to do. It was just the reward of the so-called ‘important information’ that made him a little concerned.

What could it be?

You'll know then.

After briefly looking at the updated event information, Gu Hang stopped paying attention.

The situation on the battlefield is still the top priority.

After dismantling the main resistance of the green-skinned orcs, the large army rested on the spot. At 5 p.m., they all had dinner delivered by logistics, rested for another hour and a half, and set off again at 6:30 p.m.

, heading towards the depths of the tower ruins.

This isn't radical either.

There should still be a small number of greenskins surviving in this position, but it doesn't matter anymore.

It's not okay to ignore it at all. After all, the follow-up troops will continue to perform tasks deep in the ruins of the tower, and logistical supplies also need to be transported through here. The safety of this place still needs to be protected.

Therefore, Gu Hang left the 6th and 7th garrison divisions, one in the north and one in the south, responsible for continuing to clear out the scattered greenskins that might still be alive in this position, and as a reserve force to ensure the safety of the logistics line.

Let’s not list the clearing mission for now, it’s not too difficult.

The main force advanced into the depths without encountering any difficulties either.

The previous orbital bombing was no joke. Under such a large-scale attack, very few greenskins could survive.

Especially the most important targets: the starting position of the green-skin offensive troops and their base camp, were hit hard.

Other places received relatively light firepower, but the number of greenskins themselves was also small.

As the troops advanced along the way, they could still occasionally see some sporadic greenskins popping up, but they were not a threat at all.

Of course, in order to ensure stability and the future, Gu Haihang Society will leave a garrison every 20 kilometers along the way.

While ensuring logistics access, they are also responsible for clearing out the local green-skinned orcs.

Soon, at nearly 12 o'clock that night, the troops arrived at the assembly area of ​​green-skinned orcs that the Space Marines had previously reported.

According to the latest information before the orbital bombing, there should have been more than 4,000 green-skinned orcs and three times the amount of grot cannon fodder gathered here, as well as a considerable amount of heavy equipment that was more sophisticated than those encountered before.

.

However, now there is only a huge crater and large areas of debris.

In the center of the greenskin assembly area, there is a huge crater with nothing in it. In theory, thousands of people could be united in this huge crater, but at this moment, they are all gone.

There are literally no bones left.

On the periphery of the crater, some suspicious wreckage began to appear.

Judging from the appearance of the wreckage, you can probably guess that these should be the bodies of some greenskins or fragments of equipment.

But that's just speculation.

It's a piece that has no shape at all, something that melted and then cooled down, so I can only guess at it.

Further away, there will be some parts that can be identified as belonging to something before they were destroyed, such as fingers, half-legs, etc. Here, the corpses will appear denser.

Only in further places can you see individual complete equipment wrecks, such as overturned, charred and broken trucks, immovable murder cans, and relatively complete charred corpses.

The green-skinned orcs who gathered here bravely and high-spirited, ready to set out to destroy everything, suffered a devastating blow here.

I don’t know if there were any green-skinned orcs who survived the bombardment, but even if there were, there must not be many alive, and they must have run away long ago.

Gu Hang was still very satisfied with the impact of this attack.

But the only thing that made him feel slightly uneasy was why the Space Marines had not sent him any information about the impact of the strike before?

This is not what it should be.

After the special operations team completed marking the targets for attack more than ten hours ago, they left the area that may be affected by the orbital strike. They have about ten hours to evacuate, so the problem should not be big.

There is no need to retreat so far. As long as you maintain a certain distance and ensure that your area is not marked by orbital strikes, there will be no artillery fire from space, and you will naturally be safe.

After the orbital strike was over and the magnetic field of the wireless communication stabilized, they also had a call with Gu Hang, which was considered safe and showed that they had not been affected by the orbital strike. At the same time, they also accepted Gu Hang's request to go

Go to the two most important strike targets, namely the greenskin army's assembly area and base camp, to explore the effect of orbital strike.

Logically speaking, given their distance, they would be able to find out the situation quickly.

But the actual situation is that the large troops led by Gu Hang have seen with their own eyes the situation of the green-skinned orc assembly area, but the special operations team, which should have reported the information long ago, has not received any news at all.

It is now twelve o'clock at night, already very late. All the officers and soldiers have experienced a battle since eleven o'clock in the morning, and have continued to advance among the ruins, clearing out the greenskins, and have arrived here. In thirteen hours, except for lunch,

I rested for a while. There was no time to rest, and I was already very tired by now.

It's not easy to let large troops move again.

He found a communications soldier and sent a radio communication request to the Phoenix Chapter.

No reply.

He felt even more wrong.

He called Perbov and arranged his troops. After resting, he would make a forward reconnaissance in the direction of the green-skinned orc base camp mentioned in the previous intelligence early tomorrow morning. If he encountered the green-skinned orcs in the process, there was no need to proceed.

The most important task of specialized clearing is to find traces of the special operations team.

Gu Hang was quite worried.

Although there are five space warriors in the action team, theoretically there won't be any big problems, but...

You could sacrifice a Space Marine when fighting against the original Angry Owl Cult, let alone against the Greenskins.

In particular, these greenskins look slightly different from wild greenskins that develop independently from spores.

Wild green skins and space green skins are both green skins. There is no difference in body structure and social form. It is just that the latter are more developed, have higher technical levels, have powerful orc generals, and even orcs.

Warlord rule.

The most terrifying orc disaster in the legend happened seven thousand years ago, and that disaster almost destroyed the entire human empire.

But before the powerful space orc clans are eliminated, the orcs that have grown independently on certain planets and have not yet become a great threat to the galaxy will be called wild orcs.

It is difficult to trace the way in which the green-skin infection spreads to another planet. During an interstellar voyage, a certain cargo carried green-skin spores invisible to the naked eye and boarded the interstellar spacecraft. When unloading, it fell to the ground or was blown by the wind.

Blow somewhere, encounter a suitable environment, and start to produce

The roots sprouted, and the first skogo beast grew. This aggressive and ferocious little beast secreted and divided many spores when hunting, fighting, injured, excreting, and dying...
