Survival of the Stars: Rise of the Fourth Scourge

"This is Boat No. [-]. There is a sparse forest in the direction of eleven o'clock. There is an open space in the forest, which is a good landing point."

"Understood, pay attention to all boats, and follow the No. [-] boat to land."

Five "V3" transport boats flew over the mountains one after another, heading straight for the jungle outside.

With the roar of rumbling engines, five "V3" transport boats slowly landed in a clearing in the forest.

The strong airflow lifted a piece of turf and flew around.

As the hatch at the rear of the transport ship opened, a number of tech priests walked out of the transport ship surrounded by soldiers from the Star Militia Army.

The scientific research work has officially begun.

In the next few months, the tech-priests will analyze the vegetation, water, and rocks on the planet.

"The teams dispersed and stood guard at a distance of 200 meters from the landing point."

The planet appears to have a rich biosphere, with potentially powerful predator creatures living in the forests.

Following Paine's order, the soldiers of the Star Guard who left the boat dispersed in all directions.

Five "V3" transport boats, a total of one hundred soldiers landed on the planet, and ten teams.

The star army's equipment is fairly good, and the carapace combat uniform has a certain degree of protection.

Because it is fully enclosed, with a constant temperature system inside, the helmet also has various sensing devices.

It can assist in the analysis of external things, and can also assist in aiming when using weapons.

There are also miniature auxiliary power units.

Due to the need for energy to maintain the electronic systems inside the combat uniform.

Therefore, each soldier carries a backpack on his back.

That is an energy battery, which can not only power the electronic system of the combat uniform, but also charge the laser rifle in his hand.

In order to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the Star Border Army, the equipment of the soldiers of the Star Border Army has already been upgraded.

The entire combat uniform looks like a pair of silver-gray miniature power armor.

The laser rifle in his hand has also been improved.

Although it consumes more energy, it is also more powerful.

With a battery backpack, the magazine can be recharged anytime, anywhere, and the energy supply problem has been solved very well.

Unlike the empires of the old era, the new empire has a huge population base, and soldiers become consumables.

No need for sophisticated equipment, just enough cheap and enough quantity.

But the new empire can't, because of the sparse population, every soldier's life is precious.

In order to reduce the loss in the battle, we can only find a way on the equipment.

As one of the few officers with the rank of captain in the Astra Militarum, Pyne followed Colonel Mullen to participate in this exploration operation.

He is a restless person.

Watching the scattered team, Pine squatted down and grabbed a handful of dirt on the ground.

The ecological environment of this planet is simply perfect.

It is exactly the same as the planet Terra recorded in ancient history.

A long time ago, Terra was also a blue planet.

There are oceans, forests, deserts, and mountains.

With the development of the times, the surface of the planet Terra was gradually covered by metal cities.

In the end, the planet Terra became a metal ball.

The once forests and oceans all disappeared one by one.

He looked up at the surrounding woods.

The vegetation also gave Pine a sense of déjà vu.

"Boss, we found a lot of mushrooms in the forest."

The communicator suddenly sounded a report from a certain team entering the forest.

This made Pine frown slightly.

Just found mushrooms, need to report?

Did the soldiers find something unusual?
"Is there anything worthy of attention?"

"Yes, the sensing device found that there are life fluctuations in the ground, which seem to be connected to the mushrooms."

Life forms connected to mushrooms?
Pine asked, "Wait, I'll be right over."

It was the third team that reported the discovery.

On the display of the helmet, there is the location of the third team.

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 are looking at the mushroom as tall as a person curiously.

The mushrooms are green and look a little weird.

Pine was also taken aback by the overwhelming mushrooms in the forest.

"What is this?"

At this moment, there was a sudden exclamation from the communicator.

"Kill them quickly..."

There were whispers in the communicator.

And in the forests of the north, the red beams of lasguns shone.

"Fourth team, what happened?"

On the display of the helmet, Pine found that the people of the fourth team were rapidly gathering and retreating towards the landing point.

"Captain Pyne, found little goblin creatures resembling orcs."

Oak barbarians?

Pine's face changed slightly, the group of green skins that couldn't be killed haven't been wiped out yet?
"Roar……"

At this moment, there were roars in the nearby forest.

The powerful roar was deafening.

"Boom..."

A piece of mushroom taller than a person shattered in front of him.

A tall green-skinned figure appeared in Pine's eyes.

They are rampant, wielding all kinds of cold weapons in their hands.

There are axes, sledgehammers, and even some weapons made of bone.

Oak barbarians?

Though Pine never fought an orc.

But in the textbooks of the empire, he had seen information about green skins.

That is an extremely terrifying race that spreads all over the galaxy and is inexhaustible.

Orcs have an extremely savage zeal for war.

They are simply a race born for war.

Wherever he passed, he brought war to thousands of worlds.

"Fire and kill them!"

The soldiers of the third squadron opened fire.

They held laser rifles, raised their muzzles, and pulled the triggers.

Rows of red light beams swept across the forest ahead like raindrops.

The body of the one-man devil and the orc was pierced.

In the roar, the orcs fell in the bullet rain one by one.

But their number was unexpected, black and green figures swarmed out of the forest.

Even if the companions in front were harvested in pieces by the laser beam, they did not escape.

"It's the Orcs, Captain Payne, who found the Orks."

Beasts roared again and again in the forest around the landing point.

The scattered teams encountered orc attacks one after another.

Listen to the reports from the various teams on the communicator.

Pine's face darkened.

I don't know how many years have passed, but I didn't expect to encounter Orc barbarians on this planet.

Fortunately, they are still in a relatively primitive stage, and their weapons are cold weapons.

"Retreat, all teams retreat immediately and assemble at the landing point."

"Attention the pilot of the transport boat, we need your fire support."

Following Paine's order, the teams from all sides fought and retreated.

After a while, various squads of soldiers appeared in the surrounding forest.

They retreated and fired wildly into the forest with their guns.

Red beams swept across the forest like raindrops.

Wherever it passed, trees and orcs were pierced through their bodies.

Looking into the forest, a large number of green figures over two meters tall rushed out of the forest roaring.

Their physique is very strong, giving people a very powerful feeling.
