As Gu Juzhu stopped all movements, the Greenskins completely lost their courage to defend. They began to flee outside the city in groups, and the Tarans did not chase after him. After all, their primary task was to consolidate the fruit of victory. In addition, millions of enslaved humans were liberated in the city. According to them, the people who were enslaved before were ten times the current number. The Taranskins did find a large number of bones in various caves and garbage disposal centers of the Dark Iron Fort, which almost filled the entire underground space of the Dark Iron Fort, and also confirmed the Greenskin's atrocities.
But regaining the Dark Iron Fort does not mean victory, because there are still a huge number of green-skinned tribes on this planet. The savages were in charge of the Dark Iron Fort before, and this was its territory. Therefore, other green-skinned tribes dare not covet it. However, after humans regained it, the Dark Iron Fort once again became a "bored thing" and would soon attract many green-skinned tribes to compete for it.
This is also part of the Oscar-designed combat plan, because humans have too few existing forces and troops, which are not enough to clear the green skins of the entire planet, and they like to run around, so the best way is to let them take the initiative to deliver them to their door.
Then the Dark Iron Castle is such a meat grinder.
After recapturing the Dark Iron Fort, the three company commanders of the Knights of the Star Realm - the Fourth Company Commander Lothar, the Fifth Company Commander Oscar, and the Ninth Company Commander Telshak met at the Dark Iron Fort, and representatives of the Mechanical Cultivation Society and the Star Realm Army were also involved.
Through analysis of the situation, we have different opinions on how to defend the galaxy.
The Astral Knight came with the instructions of the founding director. The order at that time was only to liberate the key industrial facilities of Proktus. Later, Riza's troops and more Astral Army would take over the defense.
However, since there are still green-skinned fleets near the galaxy, the Space Marines themselves don’t know when the troops taking over the defense will come.
Telshak didn't want to stay here for a long time. According to the previous series of combat experiences, the place is likely to become a quagmire in the end. This is determined by the war ideas of the Mechanical Cultivation Society. They will only find ways to hold back their opponents and try to kill them. But Green Skin is really not afraid of this. They really have a stubborn spirit to accompany them to the end. The Mechanical Cultivation Society's idea is obviously not applicable to Green Skin.
But there is no way. The mechanical priests are actually not necessarily much more intelligent than the green skin, and they are more stubborn and stubborn.
But the Mechanical Cultivator likes to fight a broken war, which does not mean that others like it. At least Telshak doesn't like it. He feels that the mission of the Astral Knight here has been completed and should be withdrawn in time and move to a more important battlefield to wait for an opportunity to strike the enemy's key targets. This is the greatest tactical value of Space Marines - flexible deployment, rapid offensive, and one-hit kill.
Instead of falling into trench warfare and tug-of-war where there is no end, counting casualties every day.
But Oscar felt that if he left at this time, even if Green Skin could no longer occupy the Dark Iron Fort, Proktus's situation was still in a state of decay, not to mention that there were many enslaved humans in various factories and minerals that were not liberated. If they left, they would seem too irresponsible.
Telshak asked back, what's the point of staying here if he continues to defend himself? What's the effect of saving millions and tens of millions of people in the battle?
His idea was to find the green warlord as quickly as possible and chop off the other party with one knife. But for more than a year, he has never seen the shadow of the warlord before. He was all doing some shitty things. Ruizha only cared about their important industrial assets and had no intention of finding where the green warlord was. Therefore, Telshak became more and more irritable and became more and more disgusted with the mechanical cultivator.
But Oscar also said that when they came, the commander of the battle told him that they were here to assist Reza in defense and fulfill his obligations as ally, and naturally, they should focus on Reza's ideas and plans. As the saying goes, guests will follow the host's will, and they do not join the battle by themselves.
As the most inconspicuous and low-key team, Losa, who has always been the most experienced in the battle, had to come forward to mediate the increasingly fierce dispute between the two.
As an old soldier who served in the battle group longer than the commander of the battle group, Soshyan, Lothar rarely spoke or expressed his opinions, but when he spoke, few people would not listen. Even the "outsider" Telshak had some respect for the old company commander.
Losa's opinion is also very simple. Green skin's threat cannot be ignored, but it is not appropriate for three companies to be trapped in the same battlefield, so they just wait for three months. Three months later, if Riza's defense replacement troops do not come, they will leave and destroy the facilities on the planet to prevent them from being used by Green skin again.
This is actually a bit mixed, but even if it is mixed, it depends on who is in harmony. Lothar's intervention can be said to be just right.
Of course, the Mechanical Society is definitely not satisfied with this decision. They naturally hope that the longer the Space Marines will stay, the better, and it is best not to leave. Therefore, they immediately requested their own requests, hoping that the Space Marines could leave after receiving the direct order issued by the founding director.
It has to be said that most of the mechanical cultivators lack emotional intelligence and empathy, which made all the three Space Marine Company Commanders angry as soon as they were said.
What does it mean to wait for instructions before leaving?
Are they Riza's armed forces?
Or are they subordinates of the foundry director?
The officers on the Star Army are more aware of the world. They also hope that the Space Marines can stay longer. However, they know what the Space Marines style is, so they took out the enslaved people and talked about the tragic situation everywhere on the planet, as well as the lack of troops after the Star Army's struggle for many days.
For Space Marines, selling miserable things must be more useful than showing off.
And their goal is to play Oscar's personal emotional card, but the result is really useful. Oscar personally agreed that even if he still left in the end, he would definitely liberate all enslaved humans on the planet before leaving.
Losa also proposed that local residents could form temporary weapons, and weapons would come directly from the Mechanical Religion Factory. The reason why this matter was emphasized alone was that there were very abstract things when Green Skin invaded. There were many newly produced weapons in the Mechanical Religion warehouse, and the local defenders also hoped to develop warehouses to send weapons to civilians to form militia regiments. However, the Mechanical Deputy Superintendent refused this requirement on the grounds that it did not comply with the process and rules and regulations. The factory was even producing "orders" from other battlefields instead of giving them to the local troops first. The rigidity of the Mechanical Religion made everyone angry but helpless, so that a large number of weapons fell directly into Green Skin's hands.
This time the Space Marines directly proposed it, and the Mechanical Society could not object, so they could only accept it.
However, things always progressed beyond people's expectations. Within two months, the troops of Riza arrived, but the number was not large, and they also brought an emergency message from the foundry director.
Green-skinned warlord Gorax led the fleet to suddenly break through the outer defense circle of Reza, and now he is approaching Reza's own star. The starry army general Mobid von Hoderick from the Sun Star Domain sets a trap on a key planet leading to Reza, preparing to defeat all the Green-skinned warlords here. Now the founding director urgently dispatches three companies of the Star Knight to support.
Faced with such an important military situation, the three company commanders did not hesitate at all. They immediately set off to the battlefield and participated in the decision of the most critical battle in the Ruizha defense war...
