Chapter 373 Oak Forest
The green ocean collides together.
The orcs greeted each other with the weapons in their hands, each blow full of power.
The battle with cold weapons is cruel.
It was bloody, with broken limbs and broken bodies flying everywhere.
But the orcs are full of enthusiasm for war.
Even if his hand is cut off or he is hit with his body, he must continue to fight.
Just when a chaotic fight was fierce.
In the southern sky, a "Cobra" destroyer appeared.
"A battle between orcs?"
Planet orbit, Imperial squadron, flagship, in the bridge.
In front of the window, Mullen looked at the planet outside.
The report from the fleet channel pointed the battleship's optical equipment at a certain point on the planet's surface.
On the holographic screen in the window, a battle between orcs was breaking out in the Gobi Desert.
There were a large number of people on both sides. At a glance, there were nearly a hundred thousand at least.
Its figures are spread over several kilometers.
This scene made Maren's face darken.
Obviously, this planet has become a paradise for the Ork barbarians.
I don't know how long it will take to clear them out.
With a wave of his hand, Malen said in a deep voice: "All warships are dispatched to observe the surface and search for the Okman tribe. Once the Okman settlement is discovered, they will immediately use close-range firepower to bomb it and eliminate the Okman's vitality."
At this stage, we can only eliminate as many Ork barbarians as possible.
Then the Astra Militarum will be sent to land for the final clearing work.
Although it will take a long time, there is no way around it.
The ecological environment of this planet is too good to give up just like this.
At this time, on the surface of the planet.
On the Gobi Desert where the green-skinned orcs were fighting a civil war, the Cobra destroyer launched an attack.
Amidst the rumbling cannons, death fire rained down from the sky, ruthlessly harvesting the lives of the Ork barbarians.
The battlefield soon turned into a sea of flames.
Countless green-skinned orcs had their bodies torn apart and were engulfed in flames.
The green-skinned orcs who had been fighting each other were stunned.
They also saw enemies in the sky.
"Waaagh!"
They roared loudly and rushed towards the direction of the Cobra destroyer under gunfire.
But the Ork barbarians, who were still in the cold weapon age, could do nothing.
They could only fall to the ground under the fire.
On the track, Mullen gave the order.
The remaining three Firestorm-class escort ships also dispersed.
They will cruise in low-Earth orbit, looking for Ork barbarian settlements on the surface.
On the planet, the Ork barbarians have survived for an unknown number of years.
But today, their end has come.
In the following months, unilateral crackdowns continued.
Every day, large numbers of Ork tribes were discovered and destroyed.
The tribes of Ork barbarians range from large to small.
Small tribes have only a few hundred to thousands of people.
Large tribes numbered tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands.
It's a new day.
On the surface of the planet, over a grassland, the Cobra destroyer slowly passed by.
Wherever he passed, a huge shadow was cast on the earth.
"A tribe of giant Ork barbarians was discovered, but no trace of the Ork barbarians was found."
Just in front of the battleship, there is a giant tribe on the ground.
The messy animal skin tents scattered on the ground stretched for hundreds of miles. At a glance, they looked very huge.
But there was nothing in the tribe.
In the bridge, a trace of doubt flashed in Markas's eyes.
Did the Ork barbarians escape?
Although he is a naval captain and the captain of this battleship.
But even in the old empire, Markarth never fought against the Orc barbarians.
The territory of the empire is so large that most naval generals will spend their entire lives cruising the stars with battleships.
Only when there is an invasion or rebellion in a certain star field, the fleet will be assembled.
During Markarth's naval service, he only fought in two rebellions.
The process was very relaxed. It was not a war at all, but a one-sided suppression.
"Captain Markas, a dense forest was discovered in the north, and some discarded items were found outside the dense forest."
The blue light flashed in front of the window, and Marcus saw a picture.
It was an extremely dense forest with no end as far as the eye could see.
Could it be that the Ork barbarians hid in the dense forest?
If that were the case, that would be troublesome.
The Astra Militarum can only be sent into the forest to clear it up.
"Report the situation here to Colonel Mullen immediately."
Planet orbit, Lunar-class cruiser, in the bridge.
A report from Captain Marcus brought Mullen's attention to the largest forest on the planet.
That forest covers a huge area.
The longest distance between north and south is more than 7,000 kilometers.
There is only one continent on the entire planet.
And that forest occupies one-fifth of the area.
A direct orbital strike and bombing of the forest would cause great damage to the planet's ecological environment.
Send the Astra Militarum into the forest to clear it up?
This time I went to explore the dark area, so I was well prepared.
The strength of the Astra Militarum was 30,000, scattered on various battleships.
There are 10,000 interstellar troops on board the Lunar-class cruiser alone.
In the old empire, even if a world's rebellion was suppressed, the Astra Militarum deployed would be in the millions or tens of millions.
But at present, it is quite difficult for the new empire to come up with 50,000 Astra Militarum troops.
Before arriving in the Dark Star Territory, the Astra Militarum was less than ten thousand people in size.
After arriving in the Dark Star Region, the population rose to more than 10 million, and only then did the Astra Militarum expand its army.
"Notify Captain Marcus to immediately dispatch the Astra Militarum to land and fight, and disperse into the forest in companies to clear out the Orks."
Captain Marcus's Cobra destroyer has 1,000 Astra Militarum troops, or five companies.
This number is certainly not enough.
"Also, notify the Astra Militarum troops on the ship to gather in the harbor and prepare for landing operations."
With Maren's order, the Astra Militarum began to move.
Marcus, who was in the planet's atmosphere, also received an order from Colonel Maren.
In the sky thousands of meters outside the forest, a Cobra destroyer was quietly floating.
After a while, the harbor gates on both sides of the ship slowly opened.
As the harbor gates opened, a number of "V3" transport boats flew out and rushed straight into the forest.
The "V3" transport boat is not small, with a length of nearly 50 meters.
It can carry half a company of soldiers at a time, that is, 100 people.
In the wilderness outside the forest, ten "V3" transport boats landed one after another.
For a moment, the engines roared, the air waves rolled, and the dust flew.
"The first and second platoons are responsible for the right wing, and they will follow the main team to search forward one mile apart. The third and fourth platoons are responsible for the left wing."
"Follow up, act immediately!"
As soon as the transport boat landed, the Star Army Captain "Marcus" issued an order.
A thousand Star Army troops immediately dispersed in platoons and followed the main team into the forest.
Although there were only a thousand Star Army troops, it was also a dense mass at a glance.
At the same time, in the orbit of the planet.
One after another, "V3" transport boats flew out of the harbor of the Moon-class cruiser and broke into the atmosphere.
Soon, one fireball after another appeared in the sky above the surface of the planet.
Dozens of "V3" transport boats carrying thousands of Star Army troops suddenly landed in the Ork Forest.
Yes, not long ago, Maren gave this forest a name.
Since it is the hiding place of the Ork barbarians, let's call it the Ork Forest.
There is no better name for this forest than Oak Forest.
