I am a green-skinned master

Obviously, he wanted to find other troops to share the casualties. Of course, Cornwall only thought so in his mind. He smiled like a fox and said, "Of course, it is my duty to cooperate with the Astra Militarum."
Suddenly, Kester's communicator rang. What could disturb him during such an important occasion as the entry ceremony?
Putting aside the doubts in his mind, Kester answered the call.
"I'm sorry to bother you, Mr. Political Commissar. Commander Pex has sent us information that the orcs have launched an attack on them."
"The leader is the orc warlord Gorbad. Commander Pex is under a lot of pressure. He requested support as soon as possible."
Chapter 111 Tactical Nuclear Bomb
It was indeed a good idea to launch an attack from underground. Iron Claw smashed the four-armed insect in front of him with a hammer, and blood splattered on his body.
The feeling of being wrapped in blood is very good, especially when the insects in front of you are endless.
Jin Ya was right. This desolate place full of rocks was actually full of insects.
These bugs wear shrimp's clothes and use shrimp's weapons. When they find that they cannot stop the orcs' attacks, they will suddenly grow another pair of arms and engage in close combat with the orcs.
The intensity of the fight wasn't very dangerous or exciting enough for Iron Claw, but it was still pretty good compared to having no fight at all.
Inside the command post in the mountains, Pex's face looked very ugly. He acted very cautiously, hoping not to attract too much attention from the orcs. This way, he could develop the power of the Church of the Four-Armed Emperor and prepare for the arrival of the Zerg Fleet.
It’s just that the greenskins were too random. Even though the fighting on Capello’s side was more intense, they still found Stone Ridge.
Through psychic powers, Pex felt that his elite team was almost slaughtered by Gorbad in the underground, and he felt very distressed.
They are all his direct descendants, and after awakening they are also the most powerful among the genie thieves. However, such an elite team can only buy a little time in front of Gorbad.
The underground cave tunnels were originally prepared to resist the invasion of orcs, but now they provide convenience for the invasion of greenskins.
"Are the tactical nuclear bombs ready?" Pex asked his adjutant.
"We're ready. Although we're not at the closest distance, Gorbad's position is within the optimal killing range." After checking the position of the special forces team, the adjutant said with certainty.
"Then, detonate it."
Underground, the team carrying tactical nuclear bombs had their nuclear bombs detonated at the same time that Pex gave the order, leaving them no time to retreat and without their consent.
A white light flashed, and the team carrying the nuclear bomb was instantly wiped out. It was lucky to die without any pain.
Under the ground, a powerful nuclear bomb collapsed most of the passages, and the iron claws located in the core area of the explosion were also submerged in white light.
On the ground, the massive earthquake affected an area of more than ten kilometers. In the direct area of the nuclear bomb explosion, the entire mountain cracked and collapsed like a block of tofu, turning into a concave area in the mountain range.
The headquarters cheered, and the staff and adjutants celebrated with each other. At such a close distance, even a monster like Gorbad would be burned to ashes by the nuclear bomb. As long as he was eliminated, the greenskin attack would collapse.
"Has the greenskins' attack stopped?" Pex's calm words made the celebrating crowd stop cheering and focus their attention on the battlefield command.
An officer with a noticeable bald spot on his head closed his eyes, felt it for a moment, and then opened his eyes in surprise.
"The believers in the front said that the greenskins' attack has become chaotic! Although it is not obvious yet and has not spread on a large scale, the greenskins' offensive momentum has indeed slowed down!"
"Okay!" Pex's serious face finally showed a smile. "Call for the Banshee's bombing support, and wait until the greenskins suffer heavy losses before starting a counterattack!"
"As ordered!"
Without the orc leader, the greenskins are just a group of wild beasts, relying only on brute force. It will only take a short time to defeat them.
In a good mood, Pex answered his own dedicated call line. After he put on the headphones, Kester's voice came from them.
"Commander Pecks, how is the battle going on your side?"
"The front line has been stabilized, and the greenskins' attack has begun to slow down. It was very dangerous before. The greenskin warlord Gorbad attacked our rear through the underground passage. Fortunately, I arranged a tactical nuclear bomb in advance and destroyed the underground passage with it, which probably killed the damn alien warlord."
Pex would definitely not tell Kester that he used an elite team of thieves to hold back Gorbad, which made the nuclear bomb attack effective.
"What! Has the outcome of the battle been confirmed?!" Kester was very surprised.
"Not yet... The explosion area is very deep underground, and the landslide caused by the nuclear explosion buried the entire passage area, so it will be difficult to confirm the results of the battle." Pex always felt uneasy because he didn't see Gorbad's death with his own eyes.
"However, the greenskins were clearly in confusion. I presume that the tactic was successful, as evidenced by their reaction."
"Wait a moment..." Kester immediately opened another communication channel and contacted the fleet in space orbit, asking them to observe from high altitude orbit.
Soon, the Doombringer's superb efficiency made a speculative report that the orcs were really in chaos. Although it was not obvious, they were still attacking, but their organization and momentum had obviously declined.
A photo was also taken from space. In the photo, some of the greenskins, who clearly did not suffer much damage, actually began to run away timidly!
Opportunity! Don’t miss it!
Keister felt somewhat regretful. Why had he doubted Pecos so much before? Such a loyal and capable imperial soldier should be a role model and example, and should be highly respected and promoted!
"Commander Pex, this opportunity is rare. I have a plan." Keister in Glory Castle left the stands and left Cornwall alone at the entry ceremony. The opportunity on the battlefield was fleeting.
Cornwall glanced at Keister, feeling a little unhappy, but he didn't say anything. He had long ceased to have the final say in the Oronian galaxy. It was politically normal for two outsiders to collude and put pressure on him, a local tyrant.
After listening to Keister's description, Pex said worriedly, "There are risks in launching an attack on Pioneer City. The Astra Militarum will suffer a lot of losses. The greenskins will be unconsciously attracted to the battle, and new bosses will be born in the battle to lead the greenskins to fight."
"That's right, so now is the best opportunity to attack. As you know, the southern hemisphere is already full of greenskin spores. Time is on their side. If we don't quickly reduce their war potential, the subsequent battles will be difficult.
The Pioneer City is the key. If the mineral deposits there are left to the orcs, it will greatly enhance their war potential. "Keister insisted on his opinion.
After thinking for a while, Pex said, "You are right, Mr. Political Commissar. We cannot miss this opportunity. The sacrifice of the Astra Militarum now is for the sacrifice of fewer people in the future. I will also launch appropriate counterattacks to attract the attention of the greenskins. After the battle begins, please be careful and cautious."
"You mean the greenskin corridor?" Keister smiled. "I will be careful and will never get involved in a head-on war of attrition with the greenskins."
Chapter 112 Ignite the Earth
After another brief communication, the battle plan was finalized, and Pex would launch a week-long counterattack to attract the attention of the nearby greenskins.
On the right wing, Commissar Kester planned to lead three million Astra Militarum troops to attack the Pioneer City with thunderous force, which had become a ruin and a paradise for the greenskins.
The battle plan was to clear out the greenskins near the Pioneer City within a month, build fortifications, and bring the nearby mineral deposits back into human hands.
This battle plan has a major crisis point, which is the Green Corridor.
Greenskin Corridor is an adjective that refers to the border between the large rainforest on the Right Continent and the mainland, because groups of greenskins walk out of the rainforest at all times.
Looking from the sky, it looks like a green blood vessel that penetrates into every corner of the southern hemisphere. This road that the greenskins often walk on is called the Greenskin Corridor.
The greenskins are very happy in these green rivers. They eat mushrooms and sing songs, happily following the greenskins in front of them and moving forward into battlefields.
For humans, these rivers are terrifying. Anyone who dares to approach them will soon be submerged by endless waves of greenskins.
"Governor Cornwall, good news. The orc warlord Gorbad has most likely been eliminated by Commander Pex. This is a good time to launch a counterattack." Political Commissar Kester's smile was as bright as the sun.
Cornwall smiled in return, "This is great news. How does the Commissar plan to fight back?"
"I have just discussed the plan with Commander Pex, but the Astra Militarum Army is a bit weak in terms of numbers."
"So, I need the assistance of some of the planetary guards, the troops stationed in Capello, with a strength of 500,000. They are the most experienced in combat." Kester was actually still a little embarrassed. The planetary guards had been expanded several times. Now, there were almost five million of them, and they were still continuing to expand.
However, civilians holding laser guns are still civilians. They will not pose a greater threat to the greenskins than gunpowder weapons. Training and morale both take time.
The planetary guards in Capello were the most powerful troops in Cornwall's hands, and the cunning governor was probably reluctant to give them up. On the other hand, Keister did not want his own Astra Militarum to suffer too much loss, so he had to sacrifice Cornwall's troops.
"No problem, Political Commissar Kester, I will contact the officers over there and they will fully cooperate with your Astra Militarum in the battle." To Kester's surprise, the cunning Cornwall agreed directly without putting forward any conditions.
Could it be that his understanding of Cornwall was wrong? The Governor of Cornwall was still very loyal to the Empire in the face of major issues? Caister was very surprised.
"Your Excellency Governor Cornwall, thank you for your support. The empire is in turmoil, and it is your loyalty that allows the empire to stand firm." Kester thanked him emotionally.
"Thank you for your compliment, Mr. Commissar Kester. Piety is my loyal belief." Cornwall still kept smiling.
Now that the troops are secured, the offensive plan can be implemented.
Kester's command ability is much higher than Chuck's. His staff took only one hour to formulate an attack plan, and the outermost Astra Militarum legion has already begun fire preparations.
The General Staff estimates that the total number of greenskins around Pioneer City is about one million. Taking into account the greenskins that will be attracted to the Greenskin Corridor after the battle begins, the worst-case scenario is that they will face two million greenskins.
Three and a half million elite Astra Militarum troops against two million greenskins who had lost their leader and were in a state of chaos. Kester felt that he still had a lot of advantages. As long as he could drive out the greenskins and control the casualties, the battle would not be difficult.
The city of Capello has been in the midst of war, and most of the city has been destroyed by flames. The Astra Militarum engineering team has built countless trenches, ditches, and fortresses on these ruins, and war has always existed in these places.
No matter how many there were, those scattered greenskins would always rush out from every corner and throw all their firepower onto the Astra Militarum's defense line.
Sometimes, the greenskins rushed into the trenches and killed everyone, blowing up one or two fortresses; more often, they were killed in large numbers by lasers, automatic cannons, and petrified lizard self-propelled guns on the way to the charge.
This is a battle line that Kester hates. The greenskins are continuing to bleed the Astra Militarum with their cheap lives.
Looking upward from this front line, the view continues to move higher and higher, passing through the atmosphere and reaching space, into the planet's synchronous orbit.
The Doombringer, along with three other cruisers, a large number of destroyers and frigates, formed a bombing formation.
This is the good thing about the Emperor-class battleship. Its firepower is not the strongest among battleships, and its maneuverability and defense are not outstanding either, but its overall performance is the best.
It has enough hangars to be used as an aircraft carrier, its electronic system is well developed so it can be used as a fleet flagship, its mature manufacturing technology makes it highly reliable, and it also has excellent orbital bombing capabilities.
Such excellent comprehensive performance is also the reason why many imperial fleets choose Emperor-class battleships as their flagships.
As Kester's order was given, the bomb ports under each warship slowly opened, revealing the powerful bombs inside, which were dropped in uniform to the designated location.
When the whistling bomb of death was still on its way, the red laser first broke through the sky and slammed heavily on the ground in front of Capello.
This was not the first time that the greenskins outside the city faced such an attack. They immediately stopped the attack and fled outside.
The direct laser actually only serves to drive away and gather the greenskins, and the real killer move is still on the way.
As the greenskins ran and laughed at the red beam of light behind them for being too slow, one heavy bomb after another fell accurately on where the greenskins gathered.
Each bomb was able to destroy a large number of greenskins. The orbital bombardment lasted for half an hour, and the greenskins surrounding the city of Capello were almost wiped out.
All of this was calculated, all of this was predicted.
For this moment, Keister had been preparing for a long time, calculating for a long time, and storing ammunition for a long time. Now reaping such a brilliant victory is the greatest reward for his hard work.
Only ten minutes later, Capello's Astra Militarum and Planetary Guards braved the high temperatures outside the city and set foot on the area outside the city that had just been ignited into a fiery hell.
Time waits for no one. We have finally cleared out the greenskins outside the city and must advance quickly.
It is not an easy task to mobilize an army of 3.5 million, but the professionalism of the Astra Militarum was fully demonstrated at this moment.
The first to leave the city were the Chimera troop carriers loaded with engineering equipment. They used the shovels in front to level the ground, used pre-installed water guns to cool the surroundings, and some directly sprayed quick-drying materials on the flat ground to harden the ground and began paving the road.
Chapter 113 Kester's Attack
A large number of engineering Chimera troop carriers advanced while clearing the way for the troops in the rear, greatly shortening the advance time of large-scale troops.
As long as the road is built well and quickly, the three million Astra Militarum troops will be able to lay it flat and open, making it easier for them to exert their combat effectiveness and catch the greenskins wandering outside off guard.
In fact, this is indeed the case. Under the steady advance of the Astra Militarum and the Planetary Guard, the scattered and panicked greenskins were basically defeated at the first blow and were basically unable to fight back.
Tens of thousands of greenskins were defeated, the Astra Militarum's lasers, artillery, and steel crushing them like an iron fist.
If Chuck were faced with such a situation, he might become arrogant again, thinking that he was in good command and that the greenskins were nothing to be afraid of.
But Kester was much more stable. He did not allow his troops to pursue the greenskins on a large scale. He only fixed the combat range to the existing target, that is, the war zone of Pioneer City.
When fighting against the greenskins, a temporary victory means nothing. Only by winning continuously and persisting until the final victory can you truly defeat these green war monsters.
Deep in the darkness underground, the high temperature caused by the tactical nuclear explosion melted many rocks, allowing the boiling magma to slowly flow down through the cracks in the rocks.
A stream of boiling magma flowed deeper and deeper along the crack, and actually flowed into a set of metal armor. The armor seemed to be quite large, and the magma accumulated more and more inside.
With a loud bang, a huge explosion came from underground, and a huge force swept away the nearby rocks, magma and various debris. The crowded and cramped space suddenly became spacious.
"It's hot, hot, hot! Why is my chest so hot? Is there some bastard roasting me?" Iron Claw cursed angrily.
After opening the armor on his chest and pouring out the boiling lava inside, Iron Claw felt a little better. He looked at his chest and saw that the skin was burned red!
Iron Claw is angry! The consequences are serious! What happened? !
The shock wave from the explosion hit his head, making him unable to remember what had happened, what he was doing, and how he was buried underground.
"I...I remember I was chopping insects, why am I suddenly sleeping here?"
"That's right! The bugs actually dared to trick me!" After thinking for ten minutes, Tiezhua slapped his head and finally remembered something. He thought he could fight the bugs in the passage for three days and three nights. As long as the bugs were not chopped off, he could keep chopping!
In the end, the bugs actually played a trick on him! How come the bugs are learning from Xiami now, playing tricks when they can't win, Xiami blasted him with sky fire, and the bugs blew him up with a big bomb!
Damn, these guys are unreasonable? They can't even fight one-on-one? Iron Claw can barely take on a group of them alone.
After touching his waist, Iron Claw touched a device, a spherical machine, which was now broken. Ever since Xiami used Skyfire to attack him, he had asked Jiba to buy this thing to ensure that nothing could go wrong. It was said that any attack that was strong enough would be blocked by the shield generated by this machine.
It seems that Jiba was not lying. The Jiba with a crooked mouth is indeed very capable. I will go back to him to buy some good things.
After searching for a while, Iron Claw finally found a communicator that was still usable. He shook it and it seemed to be broken...
Do I have to dig a tunnel myself to get out? That's too un-waaagh, I'm a gentleman boss.
Tiezhua shook this strange idea out of his mind. He tapped on the communicator again, but it didn't seem to work. He tapped again, and finally there was a sound! I think this thing can be used!
