The Bizarre Adventures of the Oil Man, but Starting with Warhammer 32K

Although no large-scale direct conflict broke out, the orc warlord who decided to suspend the attack could not restrain all his men. The warlike greenskins naturally would not wait quietly for Gada's orders, so small-scale conflicts continued to occur frequently.

Leon could naturally see from these small-scale conflicts the level of the greenskins entrenched in the main nest.

From throwing a few pieces of iron sheets on the body, to the tattered four-wheel drive vehicle with armor plates on the front, to the more than three-meter-high infantry fighting mecha killing iron can.

In just ten days, the greenskins' equipment had undergone an iteration that was unbelievable to humans.

If they hadn't used their limited transportation capacity to move the usable production lines and the Titan wreckage left over from the previous civil war, Leon had no doubt they could have created a giant ancient garbage dump over ten meters high.

Fortunately, they didn't. I think it's not a power that comes out of nothing. This level is already the temporary limit of the greenskins.

But this is enough. Gada is now sure that he and his guys have the strength to defeat those shrimps head-on.

They have more people than the shrimps, and now even their weapons and equipment are better than the shrimps. How could they not defeat those shrimps?

The only thing that puzzled him was that Gold Teeth and the priest had not arrived yet.

Of course, he had the upper hand thanks to his better thinking, but even he knew that this advantage would not allow him to maintain for such a long time.

He couldn't understand why this was happening, but a sense of urgency arose in his heart.

Time has passed long enough, he must kill those shrimps as soon as possible, otherwise his achievements will be plundered by the other two orc warlords.

Especially the pastor, he actually said that he could hear the conversation between Gao Ge and Mao Ge?

Although the boy did point out the direction of the shrimps, making the words sound somewhat credible, it was only temporary.

The warlord that Mao Zedong trusted the most could only be Gada!

Unlike when he first came down, Gadda now had the confidence to crush these shrimps with his powerful weapons. In order to attract more attention from Mao Ge, he had to continue this great expedition of Waaaagh!

Gada emerged from the top floor of the main nest. Although he didn't understand why there was a huge pit there, it didn't stop him from using it as his base.

Countless fart spirits and boys worked day and night at his urging, and finally built a huge monster in the deep pit that was as tall as the deep pit.

It was a Gangart.

Under Gada's command, the Steelgate slowly climbed out of the pit. A seventeen-meter-tall steel giant gradually revealed its true form at the top of the main nest.

Covered in rough armor plates, its surface dotted with spikes and protrusions, and driven by tracks at the bottom—this behemoth clearly fully conformed to the aesthetic tastes of the orcs. It had an ugly orc-like head, two parallel cannons on its left arm, a massive mechanical spear on its right, and a small artillery device at its hips.

Standing on top of this steel behemoth, Gada roared with satisfaction.

"We'll use this to send all those shrimps to the sky!"

His words ignited the enthusiasm of the greenskins who had not fought for ten days, and they responded to Gada with the same excitement.

"Waaagh!"

Chapter 92: The defense line collapsed.

Just ten days later, the greenskins' attack began again.

Orcs may not be able to count like Ogryn, but they have a natural acumen and intuition in warfare.

The greenskins, who had realized that the secondary hive was a tough nut to crack, did not focus on attacking the secondary hive, but instead placed their main forces on the resource area planned by Leon, which extended into the wilderness.

There is a lack of hive buildings here that serve as natural barriers. Even though Leon and the Imperial Fists spent a lot of effort to build fortifications in these plains, the orc troops were still able to deploy their entire forces here.

Their numerical advantage is fully demonstrated here.

The orcs drove the Squiggle and the Grot, launching the first wave of attack on the enemy like a tide.

The Astra Militarum fought off the first wave of Orks with all their might, using lasguns and lumberjacks to repel the gremlins, but this was merely a probing attack that drained their energy and ammunition.

The real killer move is coming.

A strangely shaped four-wheel drive vehicle kicked off the main attack of the Orks, rumbling towards the Astra Militarum position.

Several worn metal boxes were welded to the front armor plate of this four-wheel-drive vehicle, and a string of discarded car tires was dragged behind it. The orc driver sat at a homemade console, his two large feet pressing directly on the accelerator pedal.

It doesn't even have a steering wheel!

"Wow, wow, wow—" The large speakers mounted on the four-wheel drive vehicle played some strange music, and the orcs sitting in the vehicle twisted their bodies wildly to the rhythm. It didn't look like they were attacking at all.

But this does not affect the combat effectiveness of this four-wheel drive vehicle - it was the grenade it fired just now that blew up a large open space in the Astra Militarum's defense line.

The soldiers tried to shoot at the four-wheel drive vehicle with laser guns and logging guns, but apart from killing a few orcs singing on it, they had no effect on the vehicle itself.

Looking at the four-wheel drive vehicle that was getting closer and closer to the defense line, the company commander in charge of guarding this section of the defense line angrily pulled off his hat.

"Where's the artillery crew? Where did they go?"

He shouted, "Bring up your heavy weapons and deal with this thing!"

An anti-vehicle cannon was brought to the front line, powerful enough to penetrate a Leman Russ from the side. Several men hurriedly set up the cannon and aimed it at the advancing 4x4.

The orcs on the four-wheel drive vehicles were completely unaware of the long cannons. With only the thought of killing as many shrimps as possible in their heads, they continued to pour fire on the crowded areas.

Their performance made the artillery crew members who would have been the focus of attention as soon as they arrived at the front line feel relaxed. The gunners pushed a shell into the breech block and were confident in the results that the shell would achieve.

But underestimating the enemy is a big taboo in fighting against orcs.

The gun crew's aiming was clearly the weak point of this vehicle, but the rapidly fired shells hit the pile of scrap metal welded to the front of the four-wheel drive vehicle as if attracted by a magnet, and became silent after sinking into the scrap metal.

"What the hell?!"

"Never mind! Fire!" the old soldier shouted.

A barrage of intense fire poured down on the orc chariot. Although most of the firepower was deflected by the crooked four-wheel drive vehicle, the few shells that hit the target still achieved good results. The chariot, which had previously been unscathed by the single-shot fire, was obviously unable to withstand this saturation attack. It began to emit sparks and black smoke, and was on the verge of exploding.

But the orc driving the chariot was not surprised but delighted. He stepped on the accelerator and the chariot rushed into the Astra Militarum position like an arrow. He shouted excitedly: "Hey, shrimps, try my mushrooms!"

A four-wheel drive vehicle that crashed into the Astra Militarum position exploded with a bang, and the green-skinned driver was torn to pieces by the explosion. What greeted the Astra Militarum was not the blood and limbs splattered in the explosion, but a cloud of green spores.

"What is this???" All the soldiers were dumbfounded.

The tension of not knowing what this was caused the Astra Militarum soldiers to breathe harder, and this heavy breathing caused them to inhale more of the spores. As dizziness and exhaustion set in, the Astra Militarum soldiers, unable to hold their guns, realized that this thing was far more terrifying than a simple bomb.

"It's actually a biological weapon?"

The commander of the Astra Militarum finally reacted: "Damn it, everyone put on gas masks!"

But it was too late, the other orc chariots had already seized the opportunity to launch a charge.

Their shapes are jaw-dropping—some tanks are made of wood and scrap metal, some don't even have round wheels, and some are simply converted from oversized trash cans. But these "toys" are equipped with real killing weapons and their firepower is undeniable.

This frenzied and disorganized attack left the Astra Militarum at a loss. Even the most well-trained veterans felt deeply bewildered when faced with such an absurd battlefield.

"What the hell! Where the hell did these greenskins come from? Who could have created such a bunch of freaks?!" the commander roared into the communicator.

No one could answer his question.

Although the humans still fought hard on the first line of defense, the defenses, shattered by the high-speed maneuvering Ork vehicles, had long since made it impossible to form an effective concentrated firepower attack. Before the Astra Militarum had even finished clearing out the scrap metal-like four-wheel drive vehicles, tens of thousands of three-meter-tall killing canisters appeared in their sight.

The gathering and advancing of the iron cans made the entire earth tremble slightly, and the crazy King Kongs interspersed in these killing iron cans made the Star Army on the defense line feel despair.

The commanders were still trying their best to reorganize the resistance, but a huge mecha more than ten meters high that appeared on the distant horizon completely destroyed any thoughts of resistance from the Astra Militarum.

The mortal armies were powerless against these mechanized Orks, and the Astra Militarum's defeat was inevitable.

At Hayes's instruction, the regimental commanders on the front began to arrange the retreat of their troops, but this retreat was no longer as orderly as it had been a few days ago.

The difference between retreat and rout is not difficult for orcs to distinguish. Looking at the shrimps who began to flee, Gada was very satisfied.

He had achieved such a huge breakthrough without even using Gangat. These shrimps were even more despicable than he thought.

"Without those canned shrimp, they're nothing!"

He triumphantly declared, "Forward, boys!"

The greenskins cheered again.

Nearly a million of them followed Gada and poured into the defense line along the gaps in the Astra Militarum Army's positions. The rest of the Iron Can Army dispersed to various parts of the defense line, hoping to make this holy war launched in the name of Mao Zedong even more intense.

Fortunately, the scattered orcs did not have many vehicles and iron tanks, and the Astra Militarum troops who were reorganizing their defenses in other directions were still able to hold off a few after the pressure suddenly decreased.

But the gap that was opened was the most important thing - if the orcs broke in from here, the secondary hive, which was the current industrial center, would be cut off from supplies.

Once the place where they mined resources was lost, Maxim's reserves, which had been emptied by the fleeing sages, would only be enough to last less than a week.

This is the most fatal point in Leon's defense line, and this is why Thorne was not optimistic about the defense plan before.

The orcs obviously don't understand these principles, but as long as they can stick together, they can always unconsciously make the most correct choice.

Maybe there really is some weird guy guiding them?

Leon, who was watching from a distance, knew that the war had reached its most critical moment.

Win or lose, it’s all done!

He issued the first order of this decisive battle: "CMC troops, move out!"

Chapter 93: Intercept the Offensive.

The mortal troops wearing CMC power armor were all the absolute elite selected from the Star Army by Leon and Hayes. Hayes even arranged his own guards into this unit.

Unlike the simple version that Leon had previously pieced together on the Blue Star, these power armors that have entered the mass production stage on the forging world use high-quality ceramic steel to provide excellent fully enclosed protection.

Although this power armor has been stripped of most auxiliary systems due to the prohibition of AI in the Warhammer world, the power armor and the electromagnetic rifles in their hands alone are far superior to the armament level of most Imperial Guards.

These battle-hardened veterans were already resolute, and now, clad in armor even more advanced than that of the Storm Heirs, they appear even more formidable.

After Li Ang gave the order, they, who had been lying in ambush for a long time, rushed out from both sides of the exposed position like wolves and tigers.

Although there were only two thousand of them, the Penetrator electromagnetic rifles in their hands with a firing rate of up to 5,600 rounds per minute spewed out firepower more ferocious than that of tens of thousands of ordinary Astra Militarum troops.

The dense steel nail bullets covered the defenseless greenskins, and in an instant, countless greenskins were shot into honeycombs.

These weapons were originally equipped for mortals, but now they truly show their power!

The orc troops, happily advancing into the defense line, paused. Realizing that these shrimps' weapons were different from the laser guns, they hurriedly sought cover, but ended up being pierced through by supersonic steel spikes.

Some of the orcs tried to fight back with their own muskets, but these veterans wearing CMC power armor relied on their range advantage to keep a considerable distance from them.

The greenskins' impressive accuracy was no threat to the veterans at this distance. Occasionally, a few rounds hit the veterans, but they were all deflected by the ceramic steel armor, leaving only a few inconspicuous dents.

The orcs shouted in anger. After a brief commotion, they finally pushed forward a few haphazard vehicles. They crept stealthily behind their armor plating, hoping to close the gap between them and the CMC forces.

But Leon would not let them off. He picked up the intercom and gave the second order.

"Siege tanks, fire!"

Unlike the Basilisk artillery with a range of only fifteen kilometers, the piercing shock cannon has a range nearly twice that of the Basilisk, allowing Leon to deploy these tanks in areas where the greenskins cannot see them.

Propelled by electromagnetic force, the shells drew a graceful arc in the air, and finally, following the shooting parameters given by the observer, they penetrated into the orcs who were trying to approach the CMC troops.

High-explosive shells exploded on impact, sending a firework of slaughter through the beasts. Vehicle parts and greenskin limbs flew off in a flurry, marking the beginning of the counterattack.

The orc attack was defeated.

But the bloodthirsty artillery troops were obviously not satisfied with this. According to the plan previously arranged by Li Ang, they used a barrage of bullets to cover the entire gap in the position previously opened by the orcs.

The electromagnetic cannon, which didn't need to wait for the barrel to cool down, fired a rapid and dense barrage, quickly routing the following greenskins. Even if there were occasional fish that slipped through the net, they would be wiped out one by one by the CMC troops advancing with the artillery fire.

No matter how brave the orcs were, their struggle was futile in the face of such firepower.

This is artillery, this is the god of war.

Amidst the wrath of heaven and earth, the Orks could no longer hold the gap they had previously opened. The seemingly unstoppable green tide was now split in half by this elite mortal force, like Moses parting the sea. The ordinary Astra Militarum, serving as a reserve, quickly surged forward to fill this defensive line.

This marked the success of the first phase of Leon's plan. Hayes became excited. He had originally doubted the army's combat effectiveness, but now he pumped his fist vigorously, showing an indescribable excitement.

Li Ang didn't say anything, because all this was within his expectations.

The main force of the orcs, led by Ganggat, has penetrated deep into the front line under the leadership of Gada. Although millions of orcs are still pouring in through this gap, the subsequent orc troops no longer have many of those strange and bizarre armors, so it is reasonable that they are stopped by the elite troops carefully prepared by Leon.

Besides the fact that the ammunition he was handed over was making Leon feel dizzy...

The small number of CMC troops have consumed millions of rounds of ammunition in such a short period of time. If they were not backed by a Forge World, the poor logistics of Warhammer would not be able to withstand their efforts.

Fortunately, Leon was well prepared for this battle. Cartloads of ammunition were pulled towards the newly rebuilt Astra Militarum line, and artillery platoons were also deployed behind them to support them. With the blessing of the right time, place, and people, the veterans of the Astra Militarum, growing stronger with each battle, beat the greenskins who tried to open a gap and rejoin their WarBoss into tears.

In evenly matched battles, orcs can often rely on their power of imagination to achieve a surprise victory, but in the current situation of pure crushing, the might of the two brothers can't help these green-skinned guys who can't imagine any possibility of winning.

The powerful firepower slaughtered these greenskins who continued to crash into the defense line like headless flies. The place where the gap was originally opened has now become a slaughterhouse for the greenskins.

This means that the orcs' advance deep into the defense line has been cut off!

At this point, even Gada realized that this was a trap.

But he doesn't care.

He didn't even consider turning his army back to break out, but instead continued to charge through the defense line with the greenskins around him.
