The strongest astral army in Warhammer 40K

Although the battle on the ship was fierce, Russell gained very little; the high risk and low reward of such a battle were simply not worth it.

Russell felt it would be better to participate in fewer battles like this in the future.

Time flies, and several months have passed in the blink of an eye. The orcs have stopped attacking this place.

Many changes have occurred in the past few months. The orcs have been defeated on multiple battlefields and forced to remain on planet 774. The High Lords of the Empire have finally reached a decision to mobilize all military forces in the surrounding star sectors to launch a fatal blow against the orcs on planet 774, and preferably drive them out of there.

As the protectors of this planet, the Silver Knights naturally had to participate in this attack against the orcs, and they were even at the forefront.

The high command of the Cadian Legion also received orders to provide full assistance to the Silver Knights.

Borg was extremely excited when he received the order.

"Captain Russell, would you be willing to follow the Cadian Legion to Planet 774 to fight the Orks?" Commander Borg asked excitedly.

Upon hearing this, Russell's eyes immediately lit up and he said, "Of course I'd like to."

The last battle made him realize the importance of becoming stronger. He needed more "Overlord Body" to improve his strength. Planet 774 undoubtedly had a huge number of orcs, and he was sure to get more "Big Muscle Overlord Fragments" there! He was naturally excited.

"That's good. This time I'll give you a thousand Cardian warriors. Your first objective is to form a special strike team with the Space Marines of the Silver Knights to seize a derelict spaceship in orbit. The Space Marines will carry out the specific implementation plan, and your mission is to assist them."

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

Planet 774 is home to many orcish junk warships. The Imperial Navy's high command has decided to first seize orbit, and to do so, they must destroy all the junk warships on it.

There are two ways to destroy these junk warships. One is for the Imperial Navy to push forward and engage the Orks in a massive space battle. However, the Imperial high command felt that this would be too costly, so they rejected the decision. They decided to adopt the second plan: to use Space Marines and the Astronauts to conduct precision strikes on the Ork junk warships, destroying their cockpits. This would turn the Ork junk warships into true junk, rendering them unusable and only able to stand there and be attacked.

To ensure the successful completion of this plan, the Silver Knights deployed a thousand Space Marines, while the Astronautical Army deployed hundreds of thousands.

Russell was lucky that his small unit was assigned to Commander Van Grey.

Their small unit had a total of 1010 people, including 10 Space Marines and 3 Terminator Warriors.

Instead of using Thunderhawk fighters to send them there, Captain Van Grey opted for a Falcon fighter, which is faster and can also be stealthy.

A dozen or so Falcon fighters took off from the Imperial destroyer and flew toward an orcish junk warship.

The orcs on this junk warship are fighting amongst themselves because they can't fight humans, and the battle is no less intense than when they fight human shrimps.

The Falcon fighter jets roared in and unleashed a volley of fire on the orcs on the deck. The frenzied firepower felled one orc after another, and the remaining orcs chose to take cover.

One by one, Space Marine drop pods were launched.

After a series of loud explosions, the drop pod landed on the ground, and Van Grey led the Space Marines out, followed closely by the Astronauts.

"Form a defensive formation!" Russell commanded.

Van Grey's objective was clear: he headed straight for the cockpit, with the Space Marines close behind.

The sudden appearance of the human shrimp excited the beastmen. They could finally fight, and they could have a good fight with these human canned food.

Mad roars came from all directions as orc boys and orc warriors, wielding crudely made weapons, swarmed in.

"Fire!" Under Russell's command, the Cardinal warriors opened fire with all their might, retreating as they fired to close in on the Space Marines.

Their mission was to hold off the Orcs coming from all sides and prevent the Space Marines from being engulfed in a green tide.

Van Grey was rushing toward the cockpit when he was suddenly blocked by several orc warriors.

Without wasting words, Van Grey twirled his sword and charged forward.

An orc warrior, wielding a heavy sword, roared and swung it at Vangrey.

Van Grey didn't even glance at the greatsword and continued charging forward. Just as the greatsword was about to strike him, he swung his power sword at the orc warrior's heavy sword. The crudely made weapon was no match for the finely crafted power sword.

The power sword cuts the greatsword in two like cutting tofu.

After easily severing the greatsword, he swung his sword backhand and decapitated the orc warrior.

Vangret's movements were light, skillful, and fluid. When the orc warrior's head flew off, the other orc warriors were stunned for a moment.

To be stunned in the face of a swordsman like Vangret would be fatal. Vangret wielded his power sword, and the heads of several orc warriors flew into the air.

After easily taking down several orc warriors, Vangre continued charging forward; the cockpit was now quite close.

The few orc boys tried to put up a fight but were cut into pieces by Vangret's swords.

Van Grey rushed into the cockpit, raised his power sword, and began hacking wildly. Soon, the entire cockpit was smashed to pieces and rendered unusable.

That doesn't even include the fact that after Van Grey exited the cockpit, he threw another explosive grenade inside.

The cockpit was in even worse shape after the violent explosion.

The orc horde surged forward. At first, the Kadian warriors' laser guns could hold them off, but as more and more orc warriors joined in, they quickly became unable to resist.

Russell has already used up the energy of three batteries, and there is only one battery left in the Fire Kirin.

The laser bullets struck the orc warriors' armor and bounced off.

Just as the orc warriors drew ever closer, the Space Marines completed their mission and began to retreat.

An orc warrior charging at the front was almost in front of Russell.

A Space Marine wielding a power hammer descended from the sky, the massive hammer slamming into the ground with a deafening roar, after which energy waves emanated from the hammer and spread outwards.

The orc boy was blasted away, and the orc warrior was also knocked to the ground.

The Space Marines swarmed forward, wielding their chainswords wildly, slaughtering both Orc warriors and Orc lads.

"Calling, Falcon fighter jets, mission accomplished, we need to retreat," Van Grey said into the communicator.

"Received, Commander."
