The strongest astral army in Warhammer 40K

Russell was just saying that; whether he would repeat the mistake was hard to say, since he needed more attributes to become stronger.

"Wasn't it said that the rebels were very resilient?" Commissar Kane asked, somewhat puzzled.

"It was the orcs who helped us!"

"So that's it!"

“The orcs have now entered the hive, and most of the Krieg Legion’s soldiers have also moved in. Should our Cadian Legion enter the hive?” Russell wanted to follow the Cadian Legion.

Commissar Kane shook his head and said: No, the orcs are extremely dangerous in the hive city. The Kadian army must not enter easily.

“The hives are cramped, and the orcs are so big that they have difficulty moving around. How could they be more dangerous?” Russell was a little puzzled.

“I have fought against orcs in hives before. They have an advantage in confined spaces. These guys are incredibly strong and extremely difficult to deal with,” Commissar Kane said with lingering fear.

Russell believed what Commissar Kane said.

"Luckily, I didn't go in with the Krieg guards."

“If there are orders from above, we have to go in too,” Commissar Kane said helplessly.

Russell fell silent; he knew Kane was telling the truth.

“Borg, he’s waiting for you. You need to meet with him. If there’s a mission, I’ll arrange it for him directly.”

“Okay!” Russell replied and went to find Borg.

When Russell arrived at the Cadian camp, many people recognized him, and some even greeted him, to which Russell responded in kind.

"Lieutenant of the Cardia Commando, Russell reporting for duty."

"Come in!"

Russell entered the operations room.

Borg looked at him with a smile and said: Where are your good brothers? Where is your 357th Regiment?

"He was wounded, a very serious wound, and he will probably need to rest for several months. The entire 357th Regiment was killed in action."

"I can see that your battle was extremely fierce."

"Commander Borg, what mission should we take next?" Russell's purpose in coming here was to find a mission to take place.

“I do have a mission. I wonder if you dare to go?” Borg asked tentatively.

"Enter the hive capital? I'm ready, I can enter at any time?"

Borg shook his head and said: "It's not more dangerous than this."

"What kind of mission could it be?" Russell was a little unsure.

"We don't need to worry about the hive city. I estimate our next mission is to enter the orcs' battle moon and study in depth what exactly the orcs' battle moon is all about?"

"Enter the battle moon?" Russell was somewhat incredulous.

"Yes, that's my guess. Let's wait for Commissar Kane to give us the mission. The people in the military affairs department are all contacting him."

No sooner had Borg finished speaking than Commissar Kane spoke into the communicator: Commander Borg, are you there?

Borg quickly picked up the intercom and said: "I'm here, Commissar Kane."

"The Imperial high command has reached an agreement. The Silver Knights' Captain Vangrey and the Shield of the Holy War's Second Company Commander Aksu will each lead a squad of Space Marines. Then you will send 2000 Cadian Legion soldiers to assist them in entering the Battle Moon."

Although Borg guessed correctly, he seemed very heavy-hearted.

"Commissar Kane, could you tell me the details inside?"

"The Grand Inquisitor of the Demon Tribunal has a theory that there is an important strategic substance in the Orcs' Battle Moon, but he cannot be sure what it is."

Borg sighed and said: "The Orcs' Battle Moon is their lair, teeming with Orcs. Just because of the High Inquisitor's speculation, are we going to send people there to their deaths?"

Listening to Borg complain, Commissar Kane said: "Follow orders. This may be meaningless, but we have to do it."

"Fine!" Borg reluctantly put down the communicator.

“Am I right?” Borg said to Russell with a smile.

Russell nodded and said: Since there are orders from above, we need to cooperate.

"How about you lead the team again this time?"

"I'm afraid I can't. My rank is too low to command 2000 men, especially the soldiers of the Kadian Legion."

"Others may not know you, but I do. Although you are just a Kadia commando, your abilities are almost on par with Kashejin's elite soldiers. You are the most suitable person to lead this team."

“They will not obey me!” Russell expressed his concern.

“You don’t need to worry about that. They wouldn’t dare disobey my orders. Besides, this isn’t the first time you’ve led the Cadian Legion’s warriors. They trust you a lot,” Borg said confidently.

"Since you've put it that way, I have no choice but to reluctantly agree," Russell said helplessly.

Borg smiled and patted Russell on the shoulder, saying, "I was supposed to lead the team this time, but I know very well that I am no match for you in terms of ability."

"Commander, you are far too modest!"

…………

Two thousand Cadian Legion warriors followed Russell aboard the flagship of the Silver Knights.

Chapter Master Van Grey led 20 Space Marines, while Aksu led 10 Terminators and five Arbitrator squads, for a total of 60 Space Marines.

This time, their strength was truly overwhelming, consisting of over 80 Space Marines and 2000 Cadian Legion warriors.

Van Grey recognized Russell and said: "You're leading the team this time, Borg?"

“Sir, he has something to attend to, so he sent me,” Russell said.

Van Grey nodded and said: "No matter who is leading the team, you all need to do your support work well."

“Yes, Commander.” Russell replied respectfully.

Van Gret said nothing more and turned to Aksu, saying: Aksu, let's go!

Although the Silver Knights were a small order, Vangre was a senior figure to Aksu, and Aksu respected him greatly, so he had no objections.

"Yes, Captain, the warriors of the Second Company of the Aegis are ready."

"My plan this time is to first send Space Marines to board the Battle Moon, then let the Cadian Legion clean up the mess, and then we will go into the Battle Moon together to search for strategic resources."

No one dared to contradict the words of the Van Grey Commander.

Upon receiving the Inquisitor's orders, Admiral Cook ordered the Imperial Navy to cease its attack, lest the Orcs' Battle Moon be completely destroyed along with its "strategic resources" if they continued.

…………

One after another, silver space capsules flew toward the orcs' battle moon.

After the naval ceasefire, the surviving orcs in the Battle Moon slowly began to emerge from its depths.

The green-skinned monsters that had just emerged saw the silver spaceship in the sky.
