This time Soshyan brought basically no Space Marines to Volistad, because there seemed to be equipment in all aspects, and troops must be on standby for support, so he brought a company of Astral Knights and four members of the Star Steel
An exploration team composed of priests and sages from the Forge World went there.
After all, Volistad is not very far away. It is located in the Storm Star Territory and close to the Pacific Star Territory, so there is nothing wrong with it.
However, before he got there, Soshyan received the news.
Volistad has been invaded by greenskins!
Well, Soshyan also had to lament that it seems that the green skins are really becoming more and more rampant. Three or four of the subspace warnings received now are related to the green skins. It seems that they have suddenly ushered in an outbreak period and started to spread all over the world.
Attack.
But in a sense, Soshyan did come to the right place, because at this time the greenskins had penetrated deep into the core of the Volistad galaxy, occupied most of the area in the galaxy, and were besieging the main star of Volistad, and Volistad
The astrological message sent by Lystad did not receive a response quickly. If we wait for reinforcements to arrive, the situation may have seriously deteriorated.
At this time, the power Soshiyang had in his hands was a company of Space Marines and an Abyss-class battleship, as well as part of the accompanying armed forces of the Holy Flame Religion. Soshiyang's idea was to come and do it.
Give this "sad place" a good makeover.
The Adeptus Mechanicus has 18 ships, including 4 large ships, as well as about 400,000 skitarii and accompanying automatons and war engines.
But the scale of the invading greenskins seems to be quite large. According to scans, there are nearly a hundred ships operating in the entire galaxy. They should all be greenskins, but most of them are gathered near the main star of Volistad.
Soshyan then quickly formulated a plan, first liberating Volistad Planet 4, because there is an orbital airport here. The damage does not seem to be serious, but it has been occupied by the greenskins, which can be used as an offensive springboard, or in other words, to
The greenskin fleet was attracted.
With the Randall around, Soshyan wasn't too worried about how big a splash those green-skinned splicing ships would make. As long as they weren't joined on a large scale, they wouldn't lose.
After making a plan, they immediately started taking action. The fleet plunged like a sharp sword into the galaxy where the green skins were raging, and was immediately discovered by the green skin boats wandering around. But I have to say that the green skins are really brave.
Even if he saw a giant ship like the Abyss and dared to launch an attack with the mentality of "giving it a try", of course it would be wiped out of the universe in an instant, leaving no residue behind.
Afterwards, the fleet arrived all the way to Volistad IV. The greenskins here did not expect that enemies would suddenly appear, and all the ships were destroyed before they could even escape from the vicinity of the planet.
Then there is the Tiao Gang led by Soshyan himself.
It took him and a company of soldiers half an hour to fight through the airport and eliminate the Greenskin gang and their technical leader who were entrenched in the control center deep inside the airport. At this time, the Greenskins had already begun to dismantle the airport facilities and prepare to piece together a new wasteland.
Ship, if Soshyan hadn't arrived, the airport might have disappeared.
After taking control of the airport, Soshyan ordered all defensive weapons to be activated to prevent other greenskin ships from attacking the planet. Immediately afterwards, the Adeptus Mechanicus' skitarii began to enter in large numbers to clean up the remaining greenskins.
After the track was processed, it was the turn of the ground. Volistad IV itself was not big and had few important resources, just food and minerals. The invading greenskins were not many, but they were already overwhelmed. There were corpses everywhere.
The tragic situation is all over the land, and now most of the population is huddled in a few big cities, trembling under the siege of the greenskins.
This didn't even require the Space Marines to take action. The air strike force composed of ornithopters and dragon-winged soldiers defeated all the greenskins in just a few hours. However, it was not that fast to completely eliminate the greenskins on the planet.
Shi Yang could only leave a part of the skitarii, and then sent a few small boats to the front
Go to Volistad to attack the fleets that besieged the planet - the greenskins are very sharp in many cases, but also often show incredible slowness. Volistad IV has been liberated, and the fleet that besieged the main star seems to be still intact.
There is no decision-making, or they do not have an early warning mechanism.
Green-skinned enemies such as Soshyan are still very familiar. They may be cunning, but they all have one characteristic, that is, they cannot withstand provocation and can be easily provoked and launch reckless attacks.
What happened was just as he thought. The green-skinned ship that was "bored" in orbit throwing garbage at the planet, when it saw a new enemy appeared, it immediately gave up like a disturbed swarm of bees.
After completing their original mission, they rushed towards the ships of the Adeptus Mechanicus, but those ships did not hesitate to fight and turned around and left.
Naturally, the green-skinned ships also launched a chaotic pursuit, and due to the inconsistency of their speeds, a line was quickly formed behind several fast ships. When they approached Volistad IV, the trajectory started
The weapons fired first, destroying several green-skinned ships. Not only did this not stop their pursuit, but it aroused the desire to attack and pushed the ship's engines to the limit.
At this moment, the Randall, which was ready to go, launched an attack. It and several large Adeptus Mechanicus ships attacked the pursuing greenskin ships from the side.
Just like a sharp knife slicing through muscle, the green fleet that had been pulled into a straight line was directly divided into two. The Randall seemed to be a predator rushing into the school of fish, using terrifying heavy cannons to cut the formation into two pieces.
The greenskin ships in the rear were vaporized one by one, while the ships of the Adeptus Mechanicus began to encircle and destroy the enemies in the front half.
Although it is a very clichéd and simple tactic of luring the enemy into ambush, it can only be said that it has always been very suitable for dealing with green skins.
Facing the human fleet with crushing firepower, the greenskins also showed their second characteristic - they are not afraid of ruthless enemies, but afraid of having many enemies.
Even though they were destroyed like a massacre by the Randall, they still attacked the giant ship one after another, just like the primitive tribes wielding their spears and besieging the giant beast. In this case, some green-skinned aircraft really got close to the Randall.
Fortunately, there was a powerful fighter formation in the engine room of the Randall, and these annoying flies did not successfully land on the Randall.
After several hours of fierce fighting, most of the green-skinned ships were wiped out. The remaining green-skinned ships immediately dispersed after realizing that their numbers were insufficient.
The only losses on the human side were two Adeptus Mechanicus frigates and some scars on the Randall's hull.
After the victory in the naval battle, the fleet immediately approached the main planet of Volistad and quickly made contact with the planet's defenders.
After a brief communication, Soshyan's judgment is that the current situation on the planet can only be said to be relatively bad, but not that bad.
