From Terra to Terra, the Star Emperor's Holiday

They have neither the time nor the opportunity to understand the knowledge behind these technological devices, so when they see things they have never seen before or that are beyond their comprehension, the Astra Militarum's subconscious reaction is to not look or think about them, because thinking will lead to heresy, and if they see something they shouldn't look at, they may be executed.

"The 7th Regiment's air defense team is moving in. Hurry, don't be dazed."

The Astra Militarum Lord of the Fortress World was more open-minded, although he also felt that these rapidly generated silver metal buildings before him must involve some alien technology.

But in battle, being useful and usable is the most important thing. When the fortress group is severely damaged and a large amount of anti-aircraft firepower and shield equipment are destroyed, having bunkers and equipment to use is always better than fighting hand-to-hand with the greenskins with bayonets.

Fast building blocks.

This is actually a building module commonly used by the Star Empire. When on the Terra continent, Si Ye once funded a batch of it to the dilapidated Kazdel. However, he was afraid that the Sarkaz would have nowhere to use their energy, so he gave them the old model that required manual addition of materials, while the army cluster used the new model with an added nano-recycling module.

By recycling waste from the battlefield and even digging on-site planetary mineral veins, tactical building modules can quickly complete tasks such as building fortresses, bridges and roads. Some simple weapons can also be directly generated from nanometals, which can meet the needs of moving fortresses wherever the army fights.

As the Astra Militarum arrived, more and more anti-aircraft equipment began to open fire, forming a dense fire network. Before being shot down, the green-skinned orc reconnaissance bombers desperately dropped their most proud bombs on the very conspicuous silver fortress group below, but as the bombs landed, there was no big explosion.

The nanometal that was still in the activated state swallowed up the big explosion, like a stone smashed into the water, only splashing a cluster of water and a few bubbles. The nanometal group surged a few times and completely absorbed the energy of the explosion, and the converted energy was charged into the fortress battery on the side.

"The front line has been reorganized, the infantry has been deployed, and the marines have dispersed to the two flanks... After the heavy bombing, the Space Marines followed the heavy armored cluster and advanced, quickly reducing the range of these alien species."

A large number of construction modules were connected together, and a silver wall appeared on the barren land in an instant. At the command of the castle lord, the Astra Militarum quickly took up their defensive positions, and the fortress's defense line, which was on the verge of its limit, was rebuilt in another way.

...

Chapter 337 Sabre-toothed Tiger

fast.

too fast.

This was the only thought in the minds of all the Space Marines of the Carcharodon and Lamenters Chapters as they carried out the simple task of following the heavily armored group.

Fifteen minutes ago, the Space Marines were still frowning at being assigned a strange task of cooperating with the heavy armored cluster. Some Space Marines who attached great importance to the glory of battle even felt a bit resentful towards Manstein, the mysterious airborne commander.

After all, heavy armored vehicles are often synonymous with sluggishness and slowness. Although these heavy vehicles are often valuable, it is a huge waste to let 13 Space Marine companies, nearly 1300 "demigods" in the mouths of the mortal army, protect these heavy armored vehicles.

But as the army cluster began to enter combat status, the resentment in the hearts of the Space Marines quickly turned into astonishment and surprise.

These super-heavy armors travel at an incredibly fast speed.

The super-heavy tanks of the Human Empire, such as the Emperor's Baneblade, can easily weigh over 300 tons. When a steel behemoth of this weight starts moving and can maintain a speed of 18 kilometers per hour, it is often a manifestation of the great joy of the machine spirit.

The Weepers' 1st Company, led by Captain Malakin, was temporarily assigned by Manstein to a super-heavy tank combat team. The team consisted of three super-heavy tanks tentatively named "Sabertooth Tiger" and transport vehicles, and was the new toy of the Star Empire Army.

Based on his experience gained from long service, Malakin roughly judged the data of the super-heavy tanks in front of him from their appearance. He could guarantee that these super-heavy tanks called "Sabertooth Tigers" had a weight far exceeding the previous vehicles of the Human Empire. The weight of the terrifying and huge double-barreled turret alone might be around 150 to 200 tons, and the overall weight was more likely to be close to the outrageous figure of 700 tons.

However, this super steel behemoth, which is seriously overweight and should have strict requirements on the ground it travels on, is running at a speed of 80 kilometers per hour.

Yes, 80 kilometers per hour.

The Chimera armored transport vehicles of the Human Empire could only reach a speed of 70 kilometers per hour in some places with better road conditions, while a 700-ton steel behemoth was running at a speed of 80 kilometers per hour in the rotten land of the Fortress World.

Is this stuff legal?

"Captain, is the helmet's speed detection system broken?"

Not only Malakin was doubting his life, but the members of the regiment who were hanging on the mounting point of the Sabretooth armor with him were also doubting their lives. Some of them had already begun knocking on their helmets, trying to restart the combat parameter system inside the helmets.

"Just...just consider it the Emperor's blessing."

With a lot of doubts accumulated in his mind, Malakin didn't know how to explain these outrageous things that seemed to pop out of cracks in the rocks, so he had to use the universal explanation of the Space Marines.

"Wandering greenskin herd, hardpoint unlocked, ready to engage the enemy."

An enemy alert rang out in the sound array. The Sabretooth tank, as if unconstrained by physics, quickly decelerated with a humming sound. The buckle for the Space Marines was unlocked, and the transport vehicle following behind also opened its compartment, from which Marines and Space Marines quickly jumped out.

"Deploy battle formation!"

Malakin saw the green-skinned orcs rushing towards him in the distance, including some tall and swift green-skinned vehicles. He quickly scanned the surrounding terrain and began to formulate battle plans and strategies for the members of the regiment.

"Tasir, take your men and use grenades to blow a trench on the flank."

The surrounding area is an endless plain. There may have been some hills and gullies, but in the previous round of antimatter ground bombardment, these less solid landforms have been blown away, leaving only the flat and undulating broken rock ground.

Malakin subconsciously deployed defenses in front of the armored squad, building up tiered firepower to create effective output space for the tanks. As long as the Sabretooth Tigers could effectively destroy those green-skinned vehicles, the Astartes would still have a great advantage in fighting against these wandering orcs.

"Please stay within the armored cover, we have better cover."

The Star Empire's combat methods are fundamentally different from those of the Human Empire. Because heavy vehicles are often very expensive in the Human Empire, there are often scenes of Space Marines or Astra Militarum using their bodies to seize attack opportunities for armored units, highlighting that a vehicle is more expensive than a person.

The Star Sea Empire, due to its abundant production capacity, habitually uses armored vehicles as cover and bait. The armored soldiers inside the vehicles often carry short-range transmission beacons, which makes it convenient for them to quickly jump to the surrounding friendly forces when the vehicle is damaged and the self-destruct system is activated, highlighting that one person is more valuable than a vehicle.

"But…"

Before Malakin could say anything, three Sabretooths had already formed a "品" formation and were at the forefront of the battle line. The long-range artillery on the green-skinned orc vehicles hit the armor of the Sabretooths, making a ping-pong sound.

According to the tradition of the Star Empire, heavy and super-heavy vehicles should carry one or more shield generators to enhance their resistance to the enemy while also effectively protecting friendly forces.

However, these Sabretooths, which are the army's new toys, do not carry shield generators. The reason is very simple: they are overweight.

The weight of the [Sabertooth] tank was not the 700 tons estimated by Malakin, but a terrifying 940 tons.

As for why I am overweight...

Because these weapon blueprints were sealed in the early days of the Human Federation, when the Human Federation had not yet grown into the current Star Empire that controls singularity technology and has access to almost unlimited resources, the materials used in the blueprints of these weapons and armor are relatively stingy.

Therefore, after it was unsealed, the Xinghai Empire Military Academy carried out a wave of upgrades on it. However, because the thinking had not yet been converted to shipbuilding, the materials used in the first batch of armored vehicles produced were completely synonymous with excessive use.

The Sabretooth tank, originally planned to weigh 550 to 650 tons, had an extra dead weight of over 300 tons after the installation of zero armor and a nano-coating repair system, approaching the limit of a small anti-gravity engine.

Then, in order to maintain the Star Empire's tradition of high-speed racing, the Sabretooth Tiger had to compress its internal space, and while giving up installing a shield generator, it installed an additional small anti-gravity engine to increase its speed, and then the reactor's energy supply was insufficient.

Although the zero-point energy reactor is an almost unlimited source of energy, the bandwidth of the energy output pipeline has an upper limit. Before the Academy of Sciences planned to replace the zero-point reactor with a dark matter reactor, Grey Wind stopped their unlimited stacking behavior.

At this time, the cost of a Sabretooth was almost one-third of a frigate. If the Academy of Sciences was allowed to continue the transformation, Si Ye felt that he only needed to put a shell on the Sabretooth to satisfy the people's desire to let Type 59 fly.

Although the unlimited stacking of materials has been stopped, with the continuous modifications made by the Academy of Sciences, a batch of [Saber-toothed Tigers] have actually been produced.

Recycling it would be a waste of time, so Si Ye took it and handed it over to the Army Cluster as a new toy, which led to the current batch of new super-heavy armored combat teams.

Zero element main armor plus nano-plating, in land combat vehicles, this combination can be called the Wall of Sighs. The hot melt beam hitting it can only burn the external coating, and the orcs' cannons can't even leave a spot on it.

In this way, the Sabretooth Tiger at the forefront relied on its invincible defensive armor to shield the rear troops from the attacks of the orc troops, turning this encounter into a farcical show.

The two 220mm twin main guns of the Sabretooth Tiger use a simple and rustic nuclear shell combination. After one salvo, two small mushroom clouds will rise from the ground, vaporizing the green orcs' armored vehicles and a large number of greenskins.

The Space Marines and Marines only need to hide behind the Sabretooth Tiger, occasionally peek out to fire to clear out the approaching Greenskins, and avoid some Greenskin explosives flying in parabolic trajectories. Compared with the high-intensity bloody battles of the Space Marines in the past, this battle is as easy as a spring outing.

...

Chapter 338 Emergency Evasion and Short-Distance Jump

"Three salvos in the L41-B11 area. [Fire Badgers] press forward from the flank to create a buffer zone."

"Sabertooth Tiger and Hammer teams, please suspend your assault. A swarm bombing is underway. Pay attention to the ruins of the fortress on the right."

"How come there are still survivors in sector B10? Another round of missile salvos. The infantry in sector A10... the Astra Militarum advance to clear space for the fortress to move."

Compared to the Weepers who were thrown to an idle position on the flank by Nighthawk due to their special unlucky physique, the obedient performance of the Carcharhinus Regiment was valued by Nighthawk and they were placed at various key points of the battle.

嗏

easy.

Even though the regiment was placed in the core area of ​​the entire battlefield, this was still Tiberus's evaluation of this counterattack.

The command channel continued to transmit orders from the commander named Manstein, and the entire battlefield seemed transparent to the enemy.

As long as they obey orders, every Astra Militarum and every team of Space Marines will be arranged by Manstein to the most appropriate position at the most appropriate time.

Those troublesome orc armor and vehicles are often destroyed in various ways before the infantry appear on the scene, and they can easily harvest large groups of green-skinned orcs by just pulling the trigger.

"Amazing command skills... How did the other party know there were aliens here..."

After kicking the head of a screaming orc boy away, Tiberus looked at the orc boss who had been blown to pieces by missiles in the ruins of the building, and felt inexplicably bored.

The orcs' movements were untraceable due to the interference of the orbital monitoring system, and Manstein's command was not some exquisite art.

However, in the Tian Ji horse racing game, when one side has a super horse that is better than the superior horse, the battle becomes the simplest permutation and combination.

Manstein only needs to quantify the combat effectiveness of all troops and allocate sufficient redundancy to them so that they can easily defeat the opponent.

Before the orcs came up with Titan units like Leopardus, Steelgate or Battle Fortress, the Sabretooth loaded with Zero Armor-Piercing Bullets could basically deal with all the enemy's armored vehicles. If the orcs came up with Titan units, Manstein would have to call on the Cybertron battle body sleeping in the space compression warehouse in orbit to appear.

In fact, the reserve technology also includes technologies corresponding to Titan-class units, but with the ultimate answer being the Cyberlux battle body, the discussion on whether or not to produce those Titan-class units is still ongoing in the Academy of Military Sciences. If Emperor Si Ye does not make a direct decision, the debate will probably continue for a long time.

The battle continues.

Although the number of orc troops on the ground is still astonishing, they have completely lost air superiority and can only hide between the mountains and fortress ruins, avoiding air strikes, artillery and indirect missile attacks, and trying to break through the encirclement that is gradually forming under the leadership of the heavy-armored boss.

In space, due to the unreasonable range advantage of the Star Empire warships, less than one-third of the huge Orc warship fleet was left. They were constantly performing evasive maneuvers within the galaxy, relying on the fact that light and arc weapons could not be curved, and they were barely surviving in the shadows between the planets.

Warboss used his huge power claw to smash a trembling fart spirit away. It didn't understand why the good situation a few days ago had turned into what it is now.

But it has no choice. In the world of Warhammer 40k, if the weaker party cannot choose to cut off its limbs and retreat, then there is only one option left.

A desperate assault, then boarding the opposing command ship to decapitate it, relying on the chaos caused by the destruction of the command system to bring about a turning point in the battle.

The remaining orc warships prepared themselves in the shadow of the planet, and took advantage of the opportunity when the Star Empire fleet changed direction to rush out in large numbers. The warlord personally pressed the huge red button on the bridge console, and the huge orc flagship took the lead in the charge.

"waaaaaagh!!!!"

This action naturally led to the decline in the morale of the green-skinned orcs, and a larger and more powerful force field shield began to take shape in the orc warship group, even affecting the green-skins on the fortress world.

"Not good... Go get support."

Ever since Si Ye's fleet took over the battlefield and demonstrated its extraordinary dominance, the Human Empire's naval fleet, knowing it could not help, has been working hard to lick its wounds, striving to restore its combat effectiveness as quickly and as maximally as possible in the shortest possible time.

Seeing the orc fleet launching a desperate charge towards Si Ye's fleet, Usadel, who was commanding servants to repair the wounds on the warships, hurriedly ordered the warships to start afterburning and merged into Si Ye's fleet battle group, intending to nip the orcs' idea of ​​a desperate fight in the bud.

The Imperial Navy also dispatched its combat-capable warships to provide support. The light spears of the Human Empire once again flashed in the galaxy, doing their utmost to reduce the number of green-skinned orc warships.

Usadr and the naval fleet had good intentions to help, but there was a slight problem with the way they were merging into the battle group.

Unlike the battleships of the Human Empire, whose health bars decrease as they are hit, the battleships of the Star Empire from the stars are very difficult to destroy unless they suffer a crushing blow.

The source of this tenacity, in addition to the hard stacking caused by various high-tech cycles, the most crucial point is that as long as the central control host is not ordered to fight to the death, the warships of the Star Empire can forcibly activate the hyperspace engine after the hull damage reaches a certain level, and completely leave the battlefield by immediately escaping into the hyperspace channel.

After the jump engine technology was mastered, this emergency avoidance method was modified and turned into a controllable short-frequency jump induced by the flagship.

So when the orc fleet was making a desperate charge, Si Ye started to play around. He wanted to make a playful move and then jump away through a short distance after the orc fleet rushed over at great losses.
