The strongest astral army in Warhammer 40K

"The Silver Knights", "The Teutonic Knights", "The Hospitallers".

"With the addition of these three battle groups, victory is practically guaranteed," Russell said calmly.

"This kind of major battle is not our responsibility; we should be quelling the rebellion."

…………

As the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone, but Russell recovered much faster, in about a month his injuries were completely healed.

…………

“Commander Borg, Russell reporting for duty!” Russell returned to the Cardian Legion and found Borg.

When he saw Russell Burger again, he was quite happy and asked: "Have your injuries healed?"

Russell nodded and said: He has fully recovered and can go to the battlefield at any time.

"The orcs have failed and are now driven into a valley. Chapter Commander Vangrey has joined forces with two other chapters to launch a final all-out attack on the orcs. They need our assistance. The general has decided to send 20 Kadian warriors to assist them. If you are willing to participate in this mission, I can assign you a thousand men to command."

Russell immediately replied: I am willing, Commander.

Borg smiled and said: Very good. Your mission this time is to intercept the orcs. Your weapons, ammunition and equipment are very sufficient.

Russell desperately needed a fight to get his body moving; a month in bed wasn't going to be easy.

"I guarantee the mission will be accomplished!" Russell saluted and then left.

Both orcs and insectoids have a weakness: once a decapitation strike is carried out and their leader is successfully killed, the victory is basically secured. The insectoids lose their command, and the orcs fight each other.

In response to the massive influx of Orcs into the valley, Vangrave and the other two chapter commanders devised a plan. First, they deployed Destroyer missiles into the valley to wipe out most of the Orcs. Then, they sent Space Marines to eliminate the remaining Orcs. Outside, the Astrai Army blocked all exits to prevent any Orcs from escaping.

Soon, a shooting star appeared in the sky and fell straight into the valley.

After a deafening explosion that shook the earth, a huge mushroom cloud rose into the air.

Several more meteors fell into the valley, and explosions continued to occur.

The bombardment of the Destroyer missiles covered almost the entire valley.

The Destroyer's explosion was deafening, and Russell unconsciously covered his ears with his hands.

He felt a pity watching the Destroyer missiles explode one by one. It was a pity for these "muscle fragments". If the attribute fragments produced by the explosion of these Destroyer missiles could be given to him, who knows how powerful he would have become because of these explosions.

To ensure that no orc could escape, the Knights Hospitaller assigned two Space Marines to assist Russell and his men in guarding the place.

This was Russell's first time seeing the Hospitallers, and these Space Marines were clearly much more flamboyant in appearance than the Silver Knights.

The Space Marines of the Knights Hospitaller wear fully enclosed helmets with black and red stripes and two prominent, curved horns that are particularly eye-catching.

The shoulder armor was enormous, with cross emblems carved on it. The heavy breastplate was also carved with cross emblems, and a thick red cloak was draped over his back, with black cross emblems embroidered on it.

Their weapons included a heavy bomb gun engraved with cross emblems and a two-handed cross-shaped cleaver with a gleaming blade. Russell couldn't tell whether the cleavers they used were power swords or ordinary swords, and even if they were ordinary swords, the materials used by the Space Marines would definitely be different.

In addition to the bomb gun and the cross-shaped sword, there was also a light pickaxe warhammer at his waist. The light warhammer was completely black, and it was unknown what material it was made of. But as the saying goes, the ones used by Space Marines are never bad.

The two Hospitallers stood there quietly, their hands gripping heavy bomb muskets, ready for battle at any moment.

Russell withdrew his gaze. No one doubted the combat prowess of these two Space Marines, and he was eager to see for himself. He was also looking forward to witnessing the combat strength of the Hospitallers' Space Marines.

Approximately four thousand Space Marines from the three chapters entered the valley to begin the cleanup mission.

Russell believed that the Orcs were truly doomed this time; no matter how powerful they were, they could not withstand the attack of four thousand Space Marines.

This battle lasted for a very long time.

A few days later, Russell grew impatient, as did the Cadian warriors, but the two Hospitallers remained remarkably calm.

"The orcs are coming," warned the Kadian warrior on lookout duty.

Russell's expression immediately turned serious, and he said in a deep voice: "Everyone, prepare to fire."

A group of orc boys rushed towards them in a panic.

Russell raised the Fire Kirin and unleashed a barrage of fire, while the Cadian warriors also opened fire at the same time.

Dozens of orc boys were knocked to the ground. Some orc shooting boys began to fight back, but their crudely made weapons were no match for the Astragalus Army's laser guns, so their counterattacks were ineffective.

As orc casualties increased, elite orc units began to appear, the first to be seen being a few panicked orc warriors.

They looked like they had been in a battle; some of their weapons were deformed, some were injured, and some of their armor was warped.

They were no match for the powerful Space Marines and could only flee. But when they saw the Asgardian Army, they immediately perked up, because the Asgardian Army was far weaker than the Space Marines.

The orc warrior roared and charged forward, brandishing his weapon.

"Don't waste bullets, shoot their weak points," Russell ordered.

Orc warriors have heavy armor that is difficult for laser guns to penetrate. However, orc warriors are not fully armored; their arms and legs are generally unarmored. If lasers are fired at these areas, the orc warriors can be rendered incapable of fighting.

The laser beam struck the orcs' arms and thighs, knocking several orc warriors to the ground and severing some of their arms.

A Hospitaller Space Marine leaped in.

He held the sword in both hands, the massive blade swirling back and forth between his nimble hands.

The orc warrior with the missing arm roared and charged forward, heading straight for the Space Marine.

The Space Marine easily turned and dodged, then swung his sword at the Orc warrior's neck.

The bright sword drew a silver arc before striking the orc's neck with precision.

The armor on his neck could not stop the sharp blade and was easily cut open. The flesh inside could not be stopped either, and the orc warrior's head flew into the air with a pillar of blood.
