Chapter 144 Red Pirates Invade Old Enemies Return

The second lieutenant of the only regiment of Skadi, a native of Skadi, has experienced several wars, but he has never experienced the Greenskin War. Therefore, he and most of the recruits were left in the garrison, as if fate was kidding, those The undead stalked those who had defeated him like zombies.

Although Makator and the captain passed the test, and Alan Bair and the staff took away the greenskins again, those minions of chaos still did not give up. Those who descended from the sky to tear apart the mortal homeland were greedy and rude.

But the second lieutenant still didn't know. He didn't look so immature, but at this moment when the veterans had left, he was the only real veteran among the approximately 3,000 people left in Skadi's regiment.

Although he is a bit short and tall, but just looking at his war experience, General Coco Makato's armored division in the east may not be as legendary as him.

The world would never treat him as kindly as his comrades-in-arms, but at this moment, the second lieutenant was chewing cooked starchy lunch meat in the exhaust-filled military camp canteen, those things that were soaked in water and boiled to pieces. The weird pink thing made me sigh.

"Eating that thing again?"

His face was already not good, but the Imperial Guard had already denied the full supply of that star system. He never thought that the heretics at this moment had run out of ammunition and food, and would even launch an assault ship invasion right under the eyes of the Imperial Navy. That world.

That behavior seems okay, but it is very crazy. If they are discovered, the light spear can wipe out most of their effective forces. The densely packed assault ships are not suitable for crossing large-scale star fields. Firstly, they are very fast. Secondly, They lack landing capability and will be shot down by anti-orbital weapons.

That was also the reason why the Imperial Navy didn't detect those enemies, but the second lieutenant probably never thought in his life that those people who had gone through all the trouble to come here would just get the disgusting starchy lunch meat in his legs.

The eldest sister of Fraxia hit him on the head, and the lieutenant covered his head in pain. "I feel disgusted. When they were surrounded by titanium, they cut off their supplies. They could even eat soil to fill their stomachs, so several brothers died from starvation."

She said it easily, but the few words revealed the cruel hardship. Even if it was not a year of famine, it could only be described in just a few words. People cannibalize each other and starve to death everywhere.

At the end of that dark forty millennium, people must be grateful for food, whether they are climbing in the hive, standing in the primitive world, working in the feudal world, or even in the agricultural world. people.

The population of the Empire is so large that it exceeds human civilization's previous understanding of human reproductive capabilities. The number of men and women in the Empire is almost as many as the stars in the Milky Way.

The value of food to life is the most troublesome thing for the empire. Even if it is wrong for the empire, those crops are still one of the best resources to obtain, but they still need to face the terrible astronomical figures. consumption.

People in the empire hardly need preaching, and being picky about food is not a luxury. Although the second lieutenant complained, he still swallowed those bland things. After all, no matter how bad it was, it was better than a confinement period eating corpse starch.

Crush those things with a spoon, dissolve them in the soup, drink it up in one gulp with a greasy feeling, and add a measurable piece full of sugar to satisfy tomorrow's training. The food of the Imperial Guard is getting worse and worse, but the Imperial Guard morale has not weakened.

In that terrible universe, there was killing the enemy and being killed. Terra's countless mutinies and defections in the external battles of mankind became a handful in the face of the pressure of the empire and existential crises.

Even if they are not eating those bland canned starch cubes, the Imperial Guard will spread their fury on their enemies.

But tomorrow's confinement does not look as peaceful as usual. It's only half way through lunch time, and roars like thunder and lightning flash out. The atmosphere of that world does not have so-called clouds or enough water molecules. In other words, there is no thunder and lightning there.

The soldiers of the Imperial Guard were even more aware of the agitation. Lunch time ended early. They stuffed food into their mouths and put on their helmets and weapons. They even carried their guns with them even if they did not eat.

Because if it's war, it's not the sound of gunfire, or the strafing of orbital defense automatic cannons. The scarlet airdrop pods streaking across the indifferent and cloudless atmosphere also represent those who come with bad intentions, those who are extremely fast east. The fallen angel wings cut through the sky like sharp blades, and the invasion weapons that the Empire had fully built were the reason why the Space Marines were invincible.

Now whether those things will attack the empire's weapons in turn, the Skitarii gathered early and were under the command of the data craftsmen in an orderly manner, but those heretical airdrops were extremely accurate, falling directly into the residential areas, with the counter-propulsion of the flame jets at their tails Lidong is stable and hits the destination, destroying a piece of rubble, blood and death.

Directly smashing into residential areas, violently passing over anti-orbital equipment at speed, the residents of the empire have heard of such behavior, such as the arrival of angels, but the servitors of the Mechanicum were not angels that they encountered that time, insist on it Say, they are not demons, to be more precise, they are red pirates, traitors!

The tower city in the residential area was smashed through, the scarlet angels of death stepped out of their halls, explosive bombs and chain saws sang together, and the screams of the skitarii and the death of civilians created a perfect sound.

The resistance was not strong, and the city was occupied instantly. The Mechanicus were more researchers than soldiers, but the Imperial Guard was not a professional.

After just a moment in the Imperial Guard's base, the heads of the major regiments shouted. However, there was no head of Skadi Ruming, and even the regimental staff was not there. The second lieutenant walked directly to the front of the crowd. He was not big and had an average figure. He was neither strong nor experienced.

But his experience of life and death with Alan Baier still gave him the right to speak. Even when people realized that the war had begun and there was no commander, the "Sentinel Knight" became the best candidate.

His voice was childish but sonorous. No one would doubt his loyalty and strength, and would run forward with him.

"Although he is not a high-ranking official, he is still the oldest veteran. Brothers who joined the army with him, come out!"

About 20% of the Skadi's only regiment walked out.

"We are the first company of Ruming!"

'Get ready to die! "

The soldiers raised their heads and answered. "No! "

Although he doesn't seem to be a child, the lieutenant has grown up. He has seen too much along the way, including the teachings of veterans and the cruel battlefields. In that damn dark universe, there are still few people with bright eyes like him. This is why Alanbair has always been cruel to him.

In that dark universe, there is a real ability to stand up in times of crisis. Then he will be a hero of the empire, regardless of age, gender, and experience. Although the lieutenant lives under the wings of Lieutenant Colonel Alanbair, it is clear that there are no useless Skadi people living in this universe!

"Start the war, start the war, let those heretics see! "

At this moment, the murderous intention of the Imperial Guard even makes people doubt whether Khorne will land here, but the hostility is more about the hatred between the Red Corsairs and the Skadi, the hatred of destroying the family, the hatred of comrades, and the Red Corsairs. When they step on the same land, they are destined to fight.

The so-called grudges and loyalty are like this. Those things burn on the blue earth of the Forge World, making the already solidified air there even more suffocating.

The leader of the 12th Regiment of Loengahui couldn't help but admire the young man in front of him. Their camp is next to the only Skadi regiment. There are more people, but they don't have that kind of temperament. Those qualities that can kill the enemy.

Secondly, without Commander Alanbair, they could not form a mixed formation with the armored regiment according to the military regulations of the Empire, and he could not coordinate the battle without reading the relevant manuals.

That war was fought without a commander. Because the Imperial Guard was doomed to fail, he also attached more importance to the cooperation with the Skadi regiment. They were all infantry regiments and could fight together, and even actively form a close battle group to resist the enemy.

He took off his military cap and stretched out his leg to the lieutenant. "Captain of the 12th Gray Garon Regiment, Sakata Tsunesuke, the Emperor is here, and they need to cooperate."

The lieutenant replied. "Skadi, I just need to know that, sir, because his command is worthless compared to the lieutenant colonel's."

"No need to belittle yourself, your will is like a jewel on the golden throne, lieutenant. "Captain Sakata can look at the badge on the lieutenant's shoulder to determine his only clear information, his rank.

Skadi is not short of such unsung heroes. In fact, everyone's name is no longer important in the battle. They just want to sacrifice their loyalty and life to the Emperor, and vent their bullets and death to heresy.

The 113th Regiment of Furaxia also developed a heroic feeling with the 1st Armored Regiment of Pangea. After the battle, they decided not to activate the armored battle group.

Their enemies are not ordinary people. The Space Marines are not short of heavy firepower. Urban battles are also full of surprises and accidents. If the rich experience of the traitor space marines and those damned heretical weapons destroyed any nuclear war engine of the Empire, it would be a considerable loss.

The Red Corsairs fell into the complex terrain of the hive city D area. The hive worlds built by the Mechanicus are different from the standard hive cities. Their goal is to transport a large amount of materials like blood vessels, rather than living, so their area is not large, but it is connected in all directions.

If the Imperial Guard cannot stop those traitors like viruses, the Chaos Space Marines will spread like a disease to plunder everywhere in the world.

The Imperial Guard is like a red blood cell blocking, but not In other words, they need to deploy to the main roads of the city in a very short time to block the enemy's attack, which means they need to evacuate manpower. In this way, to completely block the city, there will be 1,000 people stationed on one main road.

Although the Skitarii of that world can help, the character of the Mechanicus is not good at cooperation. The strength of one thousand people is not strong, and it is destined that the branch of the Imperial Guard will be attacked and suffer heavy losses, just to report the enemy's presence there.

Such actions and tactics are very unfavorable, and the Emperor's currency, people, will be wasted. It was like fighting human life as consumables, but there was really no better way in the short term.

But the lieutenant wondered, would Alanbair agree to such a stupid act? A stupid tactic used by loyal men and women of the empire as signal machines or alarms in the future.

The lieutenant had never fought a war of attrition in his life, and it was extremely abnormal to be in the Imperial Guard, because humans were too weak compared to the countless monsters in the universe.

In many cases, humans used endless wars and logistics, death and blood to drag the enemy to death, or the powerful firepower of armored regiments and artillery regiments to directly destroy the enemy.

Many complex actions are unnecessary for the human empire. That set of military theories can defeat 90% of the enemies in the entire galaxy. Most of the aliens or native creatures of that world will be destroyed by the wrath of the empire or the empire's hugeness. Productivity is exhausted.

In contrast, most Imperial Guards are quite averse to complex tactical planning, because the Imperial Guards are huge, making large-scale command extremely difficult and prone to losses.

Unless the soldiers are of extremely high quality and have a strong will to fight, even if the formation is separated and there is no staff, there will be no collapse and despair, and they can charge against countless monsters in the dark universe, otherwise most tactics will be useless.

There are only a handful of Imperial Guard regiments like this in the entire galaxy, and each one of them is the backbone and backbone of the Empire, and most ordinary Imperial Guards will choose the tactics described above.

Procrastinate, consume, wait.

But Cady didn't deny it. They fought the orcs in the forest without communication, killed the enemy in the dominated nest, and even defeated the red pirates, so much so that the second lieutenant proposed a bold battle at this critical moment.

It can even be said that it is crazy, at least in the eyes of Captain Sakata, it is definitely crazy.

The ensign said. "He refused. Deploying soldiers to the intersection means that if the path to the edge area is approached by the enemy, their soldiers will not have time to set up bunkers. They will directly come into contact with the Space Marines, and they will be at a numerical disadvantage."

Captain Sakata asked. "Did I mean that?"

the lieutenant replied. "They would die. He could not so radiate the Emperor's currency. He refused such action."

Captain Sakata shook his head. "If they can't stop the enemy, and they spread, the world will never be able to recover."

The ensign knew they didn't have time to waste time, so he spoke directly.

"He begged for urban street fighting with those Space Marine traitors. The Skadi would crush those things, just like before."

Sakata scolded him directly. "He knows my miracle, but it's not the same as in the forest or the hive city."

The second lieutenant looked at the regiment commander without hesitation. "Same, exactly the same. The Skadis are Hive City residents. They just went home that time. Realistically, if they can't defeat the heretics there, the defense line will be easily breached, sir!"

Sakata looked at the young man in front of him, and then at the clock that kept beating. He had no choice. He had to choose a tactic, no matter what...

But he saw the few soldiers standing behind the second lieutenant. They were all the emperor's miracles and heroes. They were determined, loyal, powerful, and ridiculously well-equipped.

He took a deep breath when he realized he couldn't stop the young man in front of him. "Go ahead and try it! Skadi people!"
