Chapter 514: Dividing the Forces, Koronis

Calvin's guess was correct. The hive world of Koronis was in the midst of war.

In the void of the vast Orgodon galaxy, the wreckage of the warships of the human empire was floating with the outer planetary meteorite belt.

And around the galaxy capital of Koronis, located in the third orbit of the star, the originally prosperous starport and the heavily guarded galaxy defense system were already broken and silent after the war.

But fortunately, there was still life here. At least Calvin saw enough souls on the ground of Koronis from the feedback of the subspace.

"Life signal!" Calvin ordered the battleship at the first time, but was embarrassed to find that the detection array of the Lava Blood could not support such a powerful function.

But fortunately, the Silver Dawn was behind him, and at this moment, Sir Sutherland and Admiral Tibers had similar ideas to Calvin.

The reactor of the Queen of Glory-class battleship was once again increased by 1% of power.

As the final destination of this huge energy, the detection array composed of many complex devices on the Silver Dawn, after converting the energy into multi-dimensional fluctuations, began to release it in the direction of Koronis.

"Thank God!"

In the video conference that had just completed the connection, the Imperial Navy Commodore, Georgy Koub, who had been accompanying the fleet, exclaimed loudly.

And just five minutes before the meeting was convened temporarily, the fleet was continuously feeding back the surrounding information to the command level according to the functions of their respective detection arrays.

This of course includes the previous Silver Dawn.

As the flagship that focuses on Koronis, the information brought by the Silver Dawn excited everyone present!

Koronis is still fighting, and the imperial army there is still resisting!

Even from the perspective of the fleet, on the ground battlefield of the entire Koronis hive world, the imperial army is not as embarrassed as expected, but has a clear advantage!

"Orcs!" Sir Sutherland's voice was low, but the commanders in the communication channel could hear the anger in it.

On the continental plate of Koronis, humans still occupy all the nests and major transportation hubs, but anyone can tell what fate the people there have suffered from the smoke hovering over the fallen secondary cities.

"Prepare for intra-atmospheric combat!

Weapon units and airborne troops are on standby at any time! Wait for the fighter group to get in touch with the ground, I want to see the effect of the orbital strike after the first wave of fighter bombing!"

"No!" Tibers' voice successfully attracted everyone's attention, and Sir Sutherland, who had just given the order, frowned and looked down.

It was the first time for him to cooperate with Tibers, but it was the first time that the fleet admiral on the command deck under his feet refused his order without hesitation.

"This is not their style!" Tibers explained.

Everyone turned their eyes to little Calvin, who finally chose to respect.

Talos secretly looked at the Primarch behind him, but Calvin did not respond.

"Explain it." Little Calvin took a deep breath and said to Tibers, and the atmosphere of the meeting finally eased from the stiffness.

"Here...here...and here." Tabers pointed to the servo in front of him.

The wreckage of the Koronis orbital defense system appeared in front of everyone as he operated it.

"Do you see the traces on these star forts and weapon base stations?" Tabers pointed to a star fort and its surrounding weapon base stations and asked.

And at the position where his finger pointed, a narrow perforation appeared on the broken armor.

"The traces of ablation by energy weapons, that means..." Cobb showed the qualified qualities of a naval commander, and little Calvin finally reacted to this information.

"That means the traces and aftereffects on these defense systems are not caused by kinetic weapons.

They are almost all penetrated by energy weapons, and then exploded from the inside out?"

"I'm afraid so..." Tabers nodded, finally reaching an agreement with his commander.

This is not the fighting style that the orcs are good at, at least not the orcs at this stage.

They are much more direct when doing this job, and the collision of live ammunition weapons and warships is the most aesthetic choice for them.

"Where did they come from?"

"Here..."

Faced with Calvin's question, Tabers zoomed in on a meteorite in Koronis' orbit.

On this "micro-celestial body" covered with ice crystals and metal oxides, he saw some metal pipes that were twisted and deformed after being hit by energy weapons.

Well, even if it hadn't been hit, this thing that could barely be understood as a plasma engine jet was beyond Calvin's bottom line.

He could hardly imagine how horrible it would be if he were to use this thing to travel across galaxies...

"They were driven or lured here, and then deliberately sunk here."

Tabers' speech continued, and after his reminder, everyone found more similar "meteorites" around Koronis.

"Good tricks..." Calvin said angrily.

He could already imagine the scene of the attack here, and the enemies hiding behind were exactly what attracted these orcs here, and then launched a long-planned raid on Koronis.

"Eldar..." Calvin whispered, and Talos turned around when he heard the voice.

This is consistent with the two people's inherent impression of the Eldar:

They like to play tricks, but are unwilling to take action themselves...

And the purpose of this behavior is quite clear, which is to contain the support forces of the Empire.

This is an open conspiracy, and it is also a problem that the Empire must solve.

"Leave it to me." After getting Calvin's permission, Talos finally began to speak in the video conference.

The enemy here is his old enemy, and Koronis, as a recruiting world of the Astra Militarum, its current war situation is far from the time when the first-level units of the war group are needed to go out.

A light cruiser and two or three full-strength Death Watch are almost the best solution to deal with the current situation.

And as long as Calvin agrees, Talos can easily get all the command rights of the local garrison.

"Agree in principle, well, I suggest that a Tindalos Legion be deployed here..." Little Calvin said somewhat unwillingly.

In the face of the war, sending friendly forces to the battlefield first does not conform to Little Calvin's style of doing things, but it is indeed the best suggestion at the moment.

And he also had a little "selfish" thing here:

If these Death Watch were delayed by the mission, then shouldn't the original master who had left his family come back...

And it was precisely out of compensation for this "selfishness" that he subconsciously decided to leave a directly subordinate regiment here, as a core force that Taros could trust.

"Second!" said Tibers.

+Second! +The discussion within the Grey Knights battle group was equally efficient.

"Second!" Commodore Cobb knew that this was equivalent to a decision, so he felt at ease to be the atmosphere group.

As long as he was not asked to stand on the front line of the war, everything would not be a problem.

The other commanders did not object, so this task officially fell into Taros's hands.
