Chapter 371 Ork Barbarians
"This is boat number one. There is a sparse forest at 11 o'clock. There is an open space in the forest. It is a good landing point."
"Understood. All boats, pay attention and follow boat number one to land."
Five "V3" transport boats flew over the mountains one after another and headed straight for the sparse forest outside.
Amid the rumbling sound of the engine, five "V3" transport boats slowly landed in an open space in the forest.
The strong airflow lifted a piece of grass and flew everywhere.
As the hatch at the rear of the transport boat opened, several technology priests walked out of the transport boat surrounded by the soldiers of the Star Army.
The scientific research work officially began.
In the next few months, the technology priests will analyze the vegetation, water, and rocks on the planet.
"Each team will disperse and be on guard 200 meters away from the landing point."
This planet seems to have a rich ecosystem, and there may be powerful predators in the forest.
With Pine's order, the Star Army soldiers who left the boat scattered around.
Five "V3" transport boats, a total of 100 soldiers landed on the planet, ten teams.
The equipment of the Star Army is quite sophisticated, and the armored combat suit has a certain degree of protection.
Because it is fully enclosed, with a constant temperature system inside, the helmet also has various sensors.
It can assist in analyzing things outside and assist in aiming when using weapons.
There is also a micro auxiliary power device.
Because energy is needed to maintain the electronic system inside the combat suit.
Therefore, each soldier carries a backpack on his back.
That is an energy battery, which can not only provide electronic system functions for the combat suit, but also charge the laser rifle in his hand.
In order to enhance the combat effectiveness of the Star Army, the equipment of the Star Army soldiers has long been upgraded.
The whole set of combat uniforms looks like a silver-gray micro-powered armor.
And the laser rifle in his hand has also been improved.
Although it consumes more energy, it is more powerful.
With a battery backpack, the magazine can be charged anytime and anywhere, and the energy supply problem has been well solved.
Unlike the empire of the old era, the new empire has a huge population base, and soldiers have become consumables.
No need for sophisticated equipment, just cheap enough and enough.
But the New Empire can't do that. Due to the sparse population, the life of every soldier is precious.
In order to reduce losses in battle, we can only think of ways to improve the equipment.
As one of the few officers with the rank of captain in the Astra Militarum, Pine followed Colonel Mullen to participate in this exploration operation.
He is a man who can't sit still.
Looking at the scattered team, Pine squatted down and grabbed a handful of soil on the ground.
The ecological environment of this planet is simply perfect.
It is exactly the same as the Terra planet recorded in ancient history.
A long, long time ago, Terra was also a blue planet.
There are oceans, forests, deserts, and mountains on it.
With the development of the times, the surface of Terra was gradually covered by metal cities.
In the end, Terra became a metal ball.
The former forests and oceans disappeared one by one.
He looked up at the surrounding woods again.
Those vegetation also gave Pine a sense of déjà vu.
"Sir, we found a lot of mushrooms in the forest."
A report from a team that entered the forest suddenly sounded in the communicator.
This made Pine frown slightly.
Just finding mushrooms, is it necessary to report?
Did the soldiers find something unusual?
"Is there anything worth paying attention to?"
"Yes, the sensor device found that there was a life fluctuation underground, which seemed to be connected to the mushrooms."
A life form connected to mushrooms?
Pine asked: "Wait, I'll be here soon."
The report was made by the third team.
The location of the third team was on the display of the helmet.
After leaving the landing point in a hurry, Pine entered the forest and found the third team.
In a huge group of mushrooms, Pine found the third team.
They were curiously looking at the mushrooms that were more than one person tall.
The mushrooms were green and looked a little weird.
The overwhelming mushrooms in the forest also scared Pine.
"What is this?"
At this moment, a cry of surprise suddenly came from the communicator.
"Kill them quickly..."
In the communicator, whispers were heard everywhere.
In the forest in the north, the red beam of the laser gun was shining.
"Team 4, what happened?"
On the display of the helmet, Pine found that the people of Team 4 were gathering quickly and retreating to the landing point.
"Captain Pine, we found a small goblin creature similar to the Orks."
Orks?
Pine's face changed slightly. Have the group of greenskins who can't be killed been exterminated yet?
"Roar..."
Just then, there were roars in the nearby forest.
The strong roar was deafening.
"Bang..."
A mushroom as tall as a person in front of him shattered.
Tall greenskin figures appeared in Pine's eyes.
They rushed around, wielding all kinds of cold weapons in their hands.
There were axes, sledgehammers, and even some weapons made of bones.
Orks?
Although Pine had never fought with orcs.
But in the textbooks of the Empire, he had seen information about greenskins.
It was an extremely terrible race, spread all over the galaxy, and could not be killed.
The Orcs have an extremely savage passion for war.
They are simply a race born for war.
Wherever they go, they bring war to the world.
"Fire, kill them!"
The soldiers of the third team opened fire.
They held laser rifles, raised the muzzle, and pulled the trigger.
The red beams swept across the forest in front like raindrops.
The devil of one man, the orcs' bodies were all pierced.
In the roar, one orc fell in the rain of bullets.
But their number was unexpected, and a black mass of green figures swarmed out of the forest.
Even though the companions in front were harvested by laser beams, they did not escape.
"It's the Orcs, Captain Pine, the Orcs were found."
The forest around the landing point roared continuously.
The scattered teams were attacked by orcs one after another.
Listening to the reports from each team on the communicator.
Pine's face was gloomy.
After who knows how many years, I didn't expect to encounter Orks on this planet.
Fortunately, they are still in a relatively primitive stage, and their weapons are all cold weapons.
"Retreat, all teams retreat immediately and assemble at the landing point."
"Attention, transport boat drivers, we need your fire support."
With Pine's order, the teams of all parties fought and retreated.
Soon, soldiers from various teams appeared in the surrounding forests.
They retreated, holding guns and firing wildly into the forest.
The red beam swept across the forest like raindrops.
Wherever it passed, trees and orcs were pierced.
Looking into the forest, a large number of green figures over two meters and two meters tall roared out of the forest.
They are very strong, giving people a very powerful feeling.
