It was endless light and heat. The light spear was originally a powerful energy weapon. This light-speed energy ray could easily melt the armor of a battleship and evaporate all organic life forms. It was one of the most common means of attack for the human empire.

The way for the battleship to defend against the light spears is to transfer the high-speed attacks to the void shield in the subspace, but there is no such thing as a void shield on Pandora.

For the Savage Eldar who had no orbital resistance capability, the cruiser fleet suspended in orbit was like a sword of Damocles hanging over their heads. They could only passively take the beating and endure the bombardment of light spears.

Of course, Roche was also very careful in carrying out orbital bombing. After all, he and the colonists were still on the surface of the planet and could not let go and use full firepower.

His action was not intended to destroy the planet. If he had this purpose in mind from the beginning, he could have simply dropped an atmospheric incineration torpedo, and this colorful planet with life would have been burned to ashes after the atmosphere was ignited.

This is a counterattack, but also a warning.

At this moment, the warship in the space orbit has the intelligent computer on the Red Alert taken over the program. It is absolutely accurate and can fully maximize the precision characteristics of the light spear weapon.

One after another, pillars of light reached the sky and fell at a speed that was difficult to capture with the naked eye. They instantly hit the earth. The huge roar came from the evaporated surface. The high temperature of hundreds of millions of degrees was enough to evaporate everything.

The soil and rocks on the ground instantly crystallized, forming a shimmering mineral similar to glass.

Under high temperatures, these minerals dissolve again and gather into rivers and lakes like magma.

The earth was shaking, and the huge "boom bang" sound seemed to be knocking on the heart of the planet. A mysterious wailing sound faintly came to Luo Xi's ears, as if an unknown existence had suffered serious trauma.

The light spears that landed one after another followed the predetermined trajectory and carried out a sweeping attack within a radius of thirty kilometers around the forward base. Everything disappeared, even the floating mountains floating in the sky and the towering trees hundreds of meters high, all disappeared in the dazzling light spears.

This is the terrifying power generated by ship-based weapons when attacking the ground. All land units are insignificant.

Not only that, the huge heat transmitted by the light spear completely disrupted the atmospheric circulation here. The rapidly heated air lost its original state and could not continue to destroy in the original tornado form.

Tornadoes are a stable meteorological disaster, but now that the atmosphere in this area has been completely disrupted, it is naturally impossible for such a natural disaster to form.

The rainwater accumulated on the ground was evaporated by the light and heat, and the hot water vapor rose to the sky, making the ground appear drier than ever before.

In the diffuse fog, the Knight Mechs marched forward, followed by the Space Marines, to the edge of the orbital bombardment.

All the enemies disappeared, leaving only one shocking hole after another, and crystalline minerals mixed with a large amount of impurities were still flowing.

Luo Xi proved with his actual actions that the Savage Eldar might be able to mobilize the power of this planet by some unknown means, but he proved that this power is not invincible. Under the coverage of human martial arts firepower, even the consciousness of the planet has to bow its head.

"The light spear array ceases fire and remains on standby."

Luo Xi was reluctant to let the warships open fire again. Not to mention the previous round of attacks, many floating mountains had been completely destroyed, and the black stones contained in them were naturally reduced to ashes.

These are all his treasures. Luo Xi, who has long regarded this planet as his own, cannot accept that his property is damaged.

Chapter 245 Don't be free, or die

After the baptism of the light spear orbital bombardment, the malice from the planet Pandora dissipated a lot, the storm within a radius of hundreds of kilometers was dissipating, and the constantly flashing thunder disappeared.

Luo Xi came to the open space outside the open-air base. There was a hot breath in the air, and the Space Marines continued to clean up the remaining fungal plants in the base with promethium flamethrowers.

After losing the support of the entire ecosystem, these originally very difficult plants lost most of their vitality. With the efforts of everyone, the entire base was finally freed from those annoying green plagues.

Hill was counting the casualties. The intelligent computer had already listed the damaged base buildings and fortifications. Without Roche's further orders, the automatic robots had already started repair work.

Even after learning lessons, intelligence has designed base buildings that cannot withstand extreme natural disaster environments through big data simulation and exhaustive calculations.

If those wild elves dare to repeat the same trick, they will find that these actions are meaningless.

For an intelligent brain, a mistake will only be made once, and the loophole will be fixed next time.

"65 auxiliary soldiers are missing, 16 died from building collapse and hazardous materials leaks caused by extreme weather, and dozens of mortals are still receiving treatment."

"There are no reports of casualties from the Astartes side. The joint exploration team of the White Scars and Space Wolves we sent out has sent back intelligence that they were just trapped in the mountain torrents and have now escaped."

Luo Xi was not very worried about those Astartes. As the designer of the Star-type power armor, he was well aware of the defense and safety of this power armor. If there were casualties due to a natural disaster of this magnitude, then he would have to reflect on it carefully.

"Tell the warriors to stay alert. We have not seen the real bodies of the Savage Eldar until now. They are just using the power of this planet to launch a test attack on us."

Luo Xi knew very well in his mind that as long as he wanted to take over the planet intact, he would inevitably limit his ultra-long-range orbital bombing capability.

This is a kind of rat-eat-the-pot approach, and those Eldar are the nasty rats.

Hill nodded in agreement. He was responsible for coordinating the distribution of the number of Space Marines on Pandora and controlling the overall situation with his multi-threaded thinking, which was an advantage of the Extreme Marines.

Hill will mobilize the military forces as the highest-ranking Space Marine commander on the planet. Roche is very confident in him. After all, as early as the Battle of Calth, he had already deeply experienced the value of the Red Helmet Ultramarines.

While humans were still carrying out intensive post-disaster reconstruction, the wild elves hiding in the dense forest were sweating coldly.

Out of caution, they did not get too close to the battlefield ahead. Although the sacred tree Eva would not harm them, under the raging natural forces, even unconscious movements could cost their lives.

The population of the Savage Elf is sparse, and they would never let their people take risks.

"The World Soul told me that its essence has been damaged. Those evaporated plants and mountains are part of the ecosystem. It is terrified by the terrorist attacks launched by humans."

"Without the help of the Ark Eldar, those warships in space alone would be enough to destroy us all. The reason why humans didn't do this is because they want to occupy our home."

Karen, the chief of the Savage Eldar, lamented that for them, the souls of their ancestors had become part of the soul of the world. They were sleeping in it, forever in a state between life and death.

The soul of the world represented by Eva is their spiritual home, and now this soul home has suffered a heavy blow from human beings.

"Have we really been out of the universe for too long? Those weak bipedal upright apes have actually mastered such terrifying power."

"What should we do?"

Chief Karen heard the whispers coming from the tribesmen behind him. They were full of doubt, shock, and fear. They found that humans were not at all what they had imagined.

"enough!"

Karen was roaring. He yelled at his people: "We haven't failed yet. Eva needs to rest for a while to accumulate stronger strength. What about you? What are you doing? Have you already thought about how to escape?"

"We are the proud Eldar. Even if we return to our original state, we are still the Eldar. We are the eldest sons of the Creator. Should we flee without a fight when facing those inferior creatures?"

The patriarch's roar made many Aida lower their heads in shame. How many years had it been since they had experienced a war? Four thousand years or five thousand years?

They have long forgotten what war is, and that war requires bloodshed and sacrifice.

Karen suddenly felt as if he had just woken up from a dream. He turned his eyes and stared at the group of his fellow tribesmen gathered together, not knowing what to do. Suddenly, he recalled the look that Dragon Knight Keen gave him when he turned and left.

It is the hatred for their lack of struggle, the disgust for their complacency, and the mockery of those who sit in the well and watch the world from a narrow perspective.

Thinking of this, he looked at the crowd again, but did not see the figure of the dragon knight.

Before, he had blindly rejected Keane's request and just asked him to gather other dragon knights. Now they can only place their hopes on the dragon knights.

He gritted his teeth and decided that he could no longer sit there and wait for death as Keane had said.

All the war forces of the tribe were mobilized. No matter whether they were the elderly, women or children, everyone wore wraithbone armor and tough beast leather armor. They took out the weapons made and provided by the Ark Eldar and recalled the long-forgotten way of war.

The dragon knight Keen led the manpower of other wild elves he had assembled to the forefront of the war.

They witnessed the terrifying spears of light bombarding the vibrant primeval forest, and everything disappeared in the explosion.

It's not that Keane doesn't have fear in his heart, but his willpower temporarily suppresses the fear. If he collapses first, what will those who follow him think?

He understood that if he showed any signs of cowardice, the soldiers behind him would question and waver.

There is even a good chance that they will sneak away and abandon the assembled troops.

The dragon under Keane's body was not the huge orange six-winged flying dragon, but a bipedal dinosaur that was seven or eight meters tall and had a ferocious mouth.

This terrifying beast has a mouth full of thick, sharp conical teeth, and its strong bite muscles are stretched by its gray-brown pebble skin. There is a row of sharp bone spurs on its back, and its equally huge tail maintains its balance. Dragon Knight Keen gently strokes his fighting partner.

In addition to this giant beast similar to the Tyrannosaurus Rex on ancient Earth, Keane's team also has four-legged dinosaurs that are more than 20 meters long and have thick and slender necks. These thick-skinned and thick-fleshed guys carry powerful laser lances on their backs, which can launch long-range laser beam attacks on the enemy.

"Keen, are you sure we want to attack those humans? We can ask our cousins ​​from the Ark Eldar for help. There is no shame in that."

"I feel like we're just courting death, and they won't compete with us in a cavalry duel."

Some people stood up to question Keen's actions. Although they were dragon knights, compared with their cousins, the Ark Eldar and Dark Eldar, they had pitifully little combat experience.

The so-called dragon taming is nothing more than honing the skills of controlling dragons, and they are not proficient in real combat.

Keane's eyes were terrifying. He scanned the eyes of his comrades one by one, and under the sharp light, everyone chose to shut up.

"This is a battle for us, the Savage Eldar. Listen carefully. Our relatives survive in a dangerous universe. They bravely fight against death for the continuation of their race. We lack the experience and ability in this regard."

"Are we going to run away in disgrace and leave the responsibility of defending Pandora to our distant cousins? If you still have a little sense of shame and honor, then you should fight against humans like I did."

Keane didn't have much experience as a leader. He just held the spear in his hand, trying to draw confidence and strength from it, and looked directly at the warriors who followed him.

Their eyes met, and the other dragon knights seemed to be convinced and lowered their heads.

Perhaps Keen is a good leader who can lead them to do things that the Savage Eldar wouldn't normally do.

He brought courage, boldness, and the firm determination to thrust the spear at the enemy.

Chapter 246 Charge, Dragon Knight

The dragon knight Keen, who stepped forward in the crisis, made two plans: on the one hand, he would lead hundreds of assembled dragon knights and attack humans together with a larger tide of wild beasts.

The number of beasts that besieged humans before was too small, so they were defeated one by one by humans. Keane decided to go big this time. He will send his dragon knight comrades to the entire Pandora star to summon the most powerful beasts.

Pandora gave birth to so many giant beasts, some of which were so dangerous that even the Savage Elves were unwilling to approach them. But in this dangerous situation, what he needed most were those terrifying and threatening creatures.

On the other hand, he had taken out the long-distance communicator given to him by his Ark Eldar friend, and used this psychic item made by the prophet of the Ark World of Alaitok to call for the assistance of the Ark Eldar.

At the very least, those Ark Eldar could help him pin down the human warships on the orbital platform, making it impossible for the enemy to launch their terrifying light spear bombardment.

The Ark Eldar who had previously visited Pandora had already left, and it would take some time for them to return to provide support, but Keane was not worried about that.

Only the Eldar know that on this wild planet, there exists an ancient creation called the Webway, a superluminal path created by the former Creator. With the help of the Webway entrance, they can travel freely among the stars in the universe.

With the help of the six-winged dragons, the dragon riders were able to quickly shuttle through the sky of Pandora. They had to avoid the sight of human air forces. Previous encounters had proved the excellence of human flying armor.

Keane had never imagined that those crude machines of mankind would develop into this state. Not only did the Tengu mecha have more explosive power than the flying dragons they tamed, but even in close-range aerial dogfights, it was more agile than the six-winged dragon.

The humans who ride them are definitely the best riders. The Dragon Knight firmly believes this because he has invested a lot of time and energy to become one with the intelligent six-winged dragon. They can communicate and cooperate with each other.

Human fighter planes are completely dependent on the control of the riders. Keane doesn't know how they do it, but his competitive spirit is burning. If he has the chance, he must compete with those riders called White Scars.

The dangerous creatures on Pandora usually have their own ethnic groups and power distribution. They have a clear sense of territory and will fight any creature that invades their territory.

However, the Savage Eldar are an exception, and the root of their problem lies in the soul of their world, the sacred tree Eva.

Since the soul stones of the Savage Eldar who died from generation to generation would be sent to the shrine of the World Soul and integrated into the overall psychic circuit of the World Soul there, Eva prefers these Eldars, and the creatures in the planet's ecosystem also have a good impression of the Eldar.

They generally do not harm the Savage Eldar, but will obey the orders of the Eldar people and are willing to fight for them.

Keen reached a cooperation with those powerful creatures. In the name of the sacred tree Eva, all the powerful beasts of Pandora will fight to defend their homes.

A surging tide of beasts began to spread from all over the planet. Driven by the Soul of the World, tens of thousands of Pandora species, including the Hammer-headed Thunder Beast, the Death Beast and other beasts, rushed madly towards the place where humans landed.
