Warhammer: Starting with Industrial Revolution

As per Ronin's request, the Planetary Defense Force began a large-scale troop deployment, with bombers and armed helicopters all poised for action.

The main weapons loaded on it are incendiary bombs. After all, the battle takes place in a jungle area, where trees will become the enemy's most natural barrier, but at the same time they will also become accelerants that maximize the power of the incendiary bombs.

Meanwhile, a complete infantry battalion had been assembled and its personnel had been allocated exactly as Ronin had requested.

Their primary objective is to support and escort Ronning. The enemy is numerous, and although they may suffer heavy losses after the first round of bombing, they must also guard against a strong counterattack from the mutants in the subsequent annihilation battle.

After the orders were relayed, the various squads of the advance team assembled in the direction of Luo Ning, following the original route.

Meanwhile, Ronin was also carefully observing the terrain of the entire area and the situation of this group of mutants.

At least for now, there are no signs that these mutants will take action, but their encounter with the planetary defense forces has obviously been reported, with large numbers of mutants carrying weapons out of the cave.

These mutants are not simply mutated monsters in the conventional sense. Clearly, they maintain organization and discipline; otherwise, they could not have formed such a large tribe.

Furthermore, the weapons they brought out were outrageous, ranging from crudely made cold weapons at the beginning to laser guns, heavy machine guns, and even rocket launchers later on.

The unusually muscular mutant was shouting something to the other mutants who had gathered below, but their language had clearly degenerated and was not human at all, so Ronning couldn't understand it at all.

All that is known is that after the burly mutant finished shouting, the other mutants started howling wildly.

In an instant, Luo Ning felt that something terrible was about to happen.

He ordered the soldiers around him to begin setting traps along the mutant camp.

Judging from the current situation, this group of mutants has begun preparing to attack Hive City. If the support forces cannot arrive in time, he will have to retreat, and those trap mines will be the best help to cover his retreat.

After all, no one in the Forest of Death is faster than these monsters.

Just then, the squad leader's voice came through the earpiece. The squads he had sent out to transmit signals were returning to his side one by one.

Fortunately, I discovered it early. This group of mutants gathered so close to the hive city, and by taking advantage of the special mutants among them that could block the scanning, they managed to gather such a large number of people.

If we only react when they launch their attack, it will obviously be devastating for the entire city.

Looking at the returning squads, Luo Ning checked the time again; the bombers' arrival was imminent.

He assigned positions to the squad leaders, and the sixteen squads occupied various high points outside the mutant territory, where their firepower could effectively suppress the enemy.

At the same time, Ronin also issued an order that the first thing each squad should do upon arrival is to set up simple defensive fortifications.

This is to prevent the mutants from launching a counterattack and engaging in open combat directly with the enemy.

Just then, a commotion suddenly broke out in the mutant camp. Ronin looked over and saw them gathered around a large pot in the center, eating frantically, each of them with their faces covered in blood.

Combined with their mutated and twisted bodies, they looked even more like demons from hell.

After finishing their meal, the monsters surprisingly began to orderly collect their weapons in front of the cave!

"Damn it! Are they about to make their move?" Luo Ning cursed inwardly.

According to his plan, the support troops and air force should arrive here around the same time, but they would still have some time before the planned arrival time.

"What should we do? Retreat?" The soldiers beside Luo Ning also looked at him, and Luo Ning saw fear on their faces.

"Sir, the bomber formation is about to be in position. Please confirm that there are no friendly forces at the target location."

The sound that suddenly came through his earpiece was as sweet as heavenly music. It was the air force of the defense force. They were a few minutes ahead of schedule!

"The enemy has begun preparations and has started their attack. Don't give them a chance to retaliate!"

Luo Ning shouted into his headset, and at the same time, the reassuring roar of the engines of the Vulture attack aircraft and the Valkyrie transport aircraft came from the sky.

Following Ronin's earlier orders, countless bombs were thrown at the square where the mutants were gathered, and in an instant, the violent explosions and towering flames turned everything into a sea of ​​fire.

Many mutants were blown to pieces in the first wave of attacks before they even had time to react to what was happening.

The mutants who escaped death picked up their weapons and roared as they fired shots into the sky, but to no avail.

At the same time, Luo Ning gave the order, and the squads that had been lying in wait opened fire.

Having learned from their previous experience, this time they obeyed Ronin's orders completely, all lying in wait and only engaging in long-range precision shooting.

Their primary targets were not those who had completely lost their will to fight in the first round of bombing. Luo Ning kept emphasizing to them in the call that they must first kill those who still had the will to resist. Only by reducing the number of those people as much as possible could the enemy's combat power be reduced rapidly.

The Valkyrie transport planes arrived at this time. In this dense forest, they could not airdrop troops, but they could accurately snipe the enemy above the forest, which had become thinner due to the towering fire.

Amidst gunfire and bombs dropped by crisscrossing attack aircraft, the mutants finally crumbled.

They tried to scatter and escape, but faced with constant gunfire from all directions, they didn't even know where the enemy was and had no way to break through.

In the end, almost all the surviving mutants rushed into the cave at the foot of the mountain.

Until the last mutant escaped into the cave, not a single soldier disobeyed Ronning's orders to rush out of their position. And the result of this battle was almost miraculous: fewer than ten people were injured!

Only then did the soldiers finally react, and they looked at Ronin, who was overlooking the battlefield.

But their hearts were filled with uncontrollable worship.

But Luo Ning didn't have time to think about those things; he was more focused on what to do next.

The mutant hid inside a cave, unaware of its layout and conditions, and even how many enemies were still lurking within. What should he do?

At the same time, a familiar voice came through his earphones.

"Luo Ning!!! Where are you! Are you alright! I've brought some men to help you!!"

It was Governor Karl's voice; his cries made it sound as if Ronin had been killed.

"Governor, I'm still alive," Ronin replied, unable to suppress a laugh.
