I am a green-skinned master

"I know that when I followed the smart boss, we were together..."

Well, PUA has happened too many times, and Kidd has become immune to it.

Cheng Mingrui gritted his teeth and said, "How about this, although the orc war star we create belongs to the clan, you will have full command and the naming rights will also be given to you."

Kidd wanted to say something but was quickly interrupted by Cheng Mingrui.

"Just think about it. When we meet Dio again, Dio will be driving an ancient giant and you will be driving an orc war star. That would be so impressive. Just think about how envious and jealous Dio will be."

This was something Kidd had not expected. His eyes lit up and he readily agreed to Cheng Mingrui's request, saying that he would definitely build the Orc War Star on time and wait for the sly boss to come back to install the engine.

After convincing Kidd, Cheng Mingrui was very proud. The orc was still naive, and he used a little trick to trick Kidd into continuing to work.

However, his own work tasks are also full. The shipyard on No. 4, the fortress on No. 5, and the cunning boss on No. 3 all require his overall planning, and he is personally in charge of part of the construction.

Fortunately, his body functions no longer make him feel tired, otherwise he would have to work so many hours a day after traveling through time and space, which would have been unbearable.

When Cheng Mingrui started a new construction plan, a small meeting was being held in the office of Inquisitor Sahansen on the Unbreakable Defense Line.

"General Hanks, um, out of respect for Commissar Kester who died in the Oronya galaxy, I will call you that." Inquisitor Sahansen sat in the center position and said in an elderly voice.

When he was young, Inquisitor Sahansen was also a fierce man. He fought in the galaxy, participated in many difficult battles, and survived. These battles not only accumulated prestige for him, but also accumulated connections for him. People like him can be called the backbone of the empire. It is people like them who have supported the human empire through one difficult millennium after another.

But now, due to the passage of time and old injuries on his body, Inquisitor Sahansen's health is getting worse day by day, and he may return to the Golden Throne at any time.

Under such circumstances, he did not choose to spend his old age in peace, but came to Octares to build an unbreakable defense line and continue to shine for the human empire.

However, some voices still opposed him, thinking that he was old and did not dare to take risks, and actually proposed such an extremely conservative plan of not breaking the defense line.

It is only because of Sahhansen's extremely high prestige that these dissenting voices cannot be heard.

"Thank you for meeting with Judge Sahansen. We..." Hanks stood up and saluted, preparing to start his speech, but Sahansen stretched out his hand to stop him.

"I am old, but I am neither blind nor deaf. When you came back, I heard the relevant news. The surviving Astra Militarum and nobles have never been able to control their mouths."

"Orcs as tall as mountains, beast wars, demons, and Tyranids. What they say is too confusing and too mixed. Everyone's statement is different, and no one can be sure of the truthfulness of what they say." Sahansen paused and took a sip of water.

"It's like this, Your Honor..." Hanks wanted to say something else.

"Shut up!" Sahansen shouted angrily. His voice was so loud and full of energy that he didn't sound like an old man at all.

Chapter 209: The Empire has too few troops and too many enemies

"General Hanks! I am being very tolerant by sitting here patiently instead of locking you up! A Space Marine Chapter, 20 million Astra Militarum, and the support of the Adeptus Mechanicus can't even defend a remote galaxy!"

Anger burned in Sahansen's eyes, which had become cloudy due to old age.

"According to my plan, you can at least hold the Oronya galaxy for more than a hundred years. If the Empire's army is so weak, the Human Empire would have perished long ago!"

Hanks' cheeks turned red because of the insults that Sahansen had pointed out. He stiffened his neck and spoke very quickly, "Your Excellency the Inquisitor! I cannot accept your insults. The soldiers of the Astra Militarum fought bravely and sacrificed for the Emperor. The officers of the Navy worked together to fight the Tyranids, who were several times their number, in space. The Space Marines chose to airdrop even when the battle situation was still devastating, and almost killed the Greenskin Boss."

"They are all brave warriors, and they are all loyal beyond words!"

Lawrence, the Chapter Master of the Alien Slayers, also looked at Sahansen with a murderous gaze, his hands tapping nervously at his sides, as if he would do something irrational if this human made any more disrespectful remarks towards his brothers.

"Yes! They are all brave soldiers, and they are all loyal!" Sa Hansen repeated in a higher voice, completely overwhelmed Hanks in momentum.

"I have read some battle records. I know Keister. He is a loyal and brave guy. This time, the Imperial Navy, which often looks down on the Astra Militarum, also actively cooperated in the battle and fought a bloody battle with the Tyranids." Sahansen looked at Lawrence. "The Astartes Brothers not only lost three companies of brothers, but also lost their own think tank and precious 10,000-year-old dreadnoughts."

Hanks and Lawrence both stared at Sahansen with wide eyes. It turned out that he knew everything... If he knew everything, why did he say what he just said?

The loud voice just now overdrew Sahansen's strength, and he coughed violently for a while. A Mechanicus priest came up and operated on his life-support equipment for a long time, and injected him with some strange liquid, and Sahansen finally recovered.

"Sacrifice... Sacrifice... It's always sacrifice... We always say that sacrifice is the cornerstone of the empire, cough cough cough... But what's the point of sacrifice if it doesn't bring victory?" Sahansen lowered his head, looking into the distance, and the words in his mouth seemed as if he was talking to the heroic spirits in the distance.

"But...if we don't sacrifice, how do we know if we can win?" Chapter Master Lawrence took over the conversation. He felt that he was qualified to say this. Although the Astra Militarum had lost 20 million casualties, in his mind, 20 million Astra Militarum and more than 200 Space Marines, plus two 10,000-year-old Dreadnoughts, and a large amount of lost equipment were not on the same level.

Can the fate of Astartes be the same as that of mortals?

The Chapter Master of the Astartes talked about sacrifice, and Sahansen looked at him. Sahansen knew in his heart that he could scold Hanks, but he had to respect this angel of the Emperor.

"On behalf of the Empire, I thank the Astartes for their dedication to the Empire."

"For the Emperor." Lawrence gave the Sky Eagle Salute and said, "Although this was indeed a shameful defeat and I should have died there, my Librarian risked his life to save me. One of the two 10,000-year-old Dreadnoughts was even a former Chapter Master. With such a huge loss, I was brought back to serve as a warning."

"The words of mortals do not carry enough weight." Lawrence glanced at Hanks beside him, and the young Astra Militarum general lost his temper. How could the Astra Militarum be compared with the Astartes?

"So, some of those rumors are true?" Sahansen's voice also became serious and heavy.

"Your Excellency the Inquisitor, I don't know how many rumors you have heard, but unfortunately those rumors may also be true. I have fought against countless aliens, and in Octarus, I have fought against greenskins the most. I have encountered many powerful greenskin bosses.

Can you imagine? In order to behead the greenskin boss on Euronia 3, I arranged the strongest combat force in the company, and only after sacrificing two Terminator brothers, could I have the chance to behead him. However..." Lawrence recounted the battle and his feelings.

Sahansen listened quietly, without asking a question or interrupting Lawrence.

After Lawrence had finished speaking, he waited a moment longer before saying, "In a remote galaxy that is not important in terms of defense, a new, extremely powerful orc boss has appeared, one that can rival the orc boss once known as 'the beast'."

"To be honest, I don't believe this from anyone. Even with my status, not many people would believe me if I said this to Terra." Sahansen sneered, "What those high lords lack most is the courage to face the truth. When they faced the orc diplomats, some of them really considered surrendering to the orc empire."

"This! How can this be! So many brothers have sacrificed their lives, and the information I brought is absolutely true! I guarantee it with my life and the faith of the Emperor!" Lawrence became excited. How could he allow his life to have no effect at all? He might as well die on the battlefield with his brothers.

"Please calm down, Captain Lawrence. This doesn't mean that I don't trust you, nor does it mean that some important people don't trust you. For example, I suggest you try your luck with the Regent." Sahansen's words and expression were very calm, so calm that it seemed as if the new 'beast' would not be a threat to the empire.

"Also, I suggest you have a very good mindset. Suppose, I mean suppose. Suppose everyone in the upper echelons of the empire believes what you said is true, and a powerful orc boss descends from the sky, drives away the demons and bugs, is tall in stature, and has unfathomable strength."

"How much power will the empire have to fight back?" Finally, Sahansen said a truth that everyone present knew but no one dared to accept.

The human empire does not have enough power to deal with the crisis. Not to mention the possibility of a new beast war, the occasional Tyranid tentacle fleets that appear on the unbreakable line of defense are enough to make the empire anxious.

The meeting fell into a long silence. No matter how much Hanks and Lawrence said or how angry they were, they could not answer the questions raised by Sahnson.

The empire has too few troops and too many enemies.

"That's it for the meeting. Hanks, I will give you a formal letter of appointment as a general. You will have a position if the defense line is not broken. You must also manage your subordinates and don't let them talk nonsense. If someone can't control his mouth, I will make him shut up."

After finishing speaking, Sahansen waved his hands, indicating that he was very tired and needed to rest.

Chapter 210: Casting General Plex

After coming out of Sahansen's official residence, Hanks and Lawrence looked at each other and then parted ways. Just as Sahansen had arranged, Lawrence would find a way to find the Imperial Regent, and Hanks would take the appointment letter to the front to perform his duties.

Sahansen watched the two people leave from the high platform and sighed slightly. Plans can never keep up with changes.

Originally, he deployed so many troops in the Oronia galaxy just to reinforce the flanks of the defense line. The reason for reinforcing the flanks was that he wanted to launch an attack on the salient part of the defense line without breaking it, recapture a few worlds, and level the front line.

This is a secret, he secretly planned it, most people don't know about it. He is indeed very conservative, but that's just because he has seen too many sacrifices, so in order to have fewer sacrifices in the future, he will choose to be radical.

The Eustari system is the core system of the Unbreakable Line salient. This system belongs to the Mechanicus and is a famous forging world. It is also very important.

It is the weapons, ammunition, and equipment manufactured in the Forge World that allow the secondary star regions near the Eustari galaxy to continue fighting. Equipment supply is always the main theme of war.

Not only that, the Eustari system is not only a supply center, but also a defense fortress. When the time is right, it can also be a forward base for the Empire to launch an offensive.

Forging General Plex was in control of this place. When he was communicating with his men about production and defense priorities, a flashing red light beside his ear indicated that a communication was coming in from Inquisitor Sahansen.

General Plex, who was wearing a solid iron armor and looked like a steel giant, waved his hands, called away his subordinates, and then connected the communication.

"God of Machines, respected Inquisitor, I hope you bring good news, such as reinforcements. Eustarii is a sacred planet, and the Machine Souls (the Mechanicus believes that machines are alive and have souls, so they use complicated rituals to pray to machines in the hope of awakening the Machine Souls so that the machines can operate efficiently) are very active here.

Such a sacred world should not fall into the hands of the aliens, and to ensure this, we need more troops."

What Plex cares most about is the safety of the planet Eustarii. This is his world, and he will protect it with his life for the sake of the God of All Machines.

"Of course it's good news. A new Astra Militarum Corps and several Space Marine companies will be sent to the Eustari system to strengthen the defense here." Sahansen told a little lie. The Astra Militarum Corps had been prepared long ago and was formed urgently, so it's hard to say how effective it is.

As for the Space Marine company, Chapter Captain Lawrence would only take one company away to look for the Imperial Regent. The other Space Marines of the Alien Slayer Chapter were supposed to be deployed on the front line to fight the aliens.

"It's still not enough. I hope for more reinforcements." Plex's electronic voice was emotionless.

"Of course, I will send any extra troops I have. You should have heard of the recent news from the Oronya galaxy." Sahansen brought up the topic casually.

"I know that a priest named Carter escaped here. Thanks to the blessing of the God of All Machinery, he actually brought back important construction modules before the galaxy fell. It's great that these sacred modules were not lost." Plex didn't care about the loss of the galaxy and the passing of billions of lives on it. What he cared about was the STC standard construction modules.

The STC standard construction module is the most valuable technological item in the human empire since the technological gap. It is a complex analytical construction program and different from artificial intelligence. It is the core and brain of the production line. The human empire can mass-produce Leman Russ tanks because it has the corresponding STC.

Of course, there are many types of STCs, and not every one of them is very useful. The Adeptus Mechanicus is committed to finding and repairing STCs in an attempt to recreate the technology of the former human empire.

"Now, on the unbroken defense line, Eustarii is the assembly and supply point for many legions and troops. Almost all the imperial killing teams heading to Octarius for reconnaissance and sabotage set out from Eustarii.

I hope you can convince some killing teams to go to the Oronian system to conduct reconnaissance and confirm the disturbing news. "Sahansen was already accustomed to Plex's character, and he called to hope that Plex could do something.

"I have sent out a killing squad and a fleet. That galaxy is indeed very strange. Father Carter said that the machine spirits are very active there. This information is very important." Plex's answer was beyond Sahansen's expectations.

"Oh~ So that's how it is. This is really good news. Please inform me as soon as you have confirmed intelligence." Sahansen's tone seemed very happy. "Also, General Plex, I have read the recent battle reports. The harassment from the Tyranids and the Orcs has decreased a lot, and those imperial killing squads have also confirmed better news. It seems that the Tyranids and the Orcs are in a war of attrition again."

"Well... I don't think this information will change the current situation much. Once they decide the winner, we will still be in danger. Moreover, the refugees fleeing from many fallen worlds will fill up Eustarii, and we are starting to run out of food." Plex's linear thinking did not immediately understand what Sahansen meant.

"You just feed these refugees, or select strong ones from them to be miners or servitors. There will be more and more of them, and the burden will become heavier and heavier. Many of them have combat capabilities and are very healthy, otherwise they would not have been able to escape from the hands of the Tyranids or orcs. Organize and equip them into new troops..."

"Haven't your people been doing this all the time? I am also providing equipment to your people and the newly formed troops as agreed, but I am worried that they are not well trained and will just waste the equipment." Plex interrupted the Inquisitor rudely.

"Of course not. Some simple training can let them hold a simple defense line and pull the trigger. Normally, the battle line is defended by sacrifice. What I want to say is that we can launch a counterattack while the orcs and Tyranids have not launched a large-scale attack. From the Eustari galaxy to the north, flatten the battle line and reduce the defense area..." Sahansen said while describing his general offensive plan.

After patiently listening to Sahansen's description, Plex did not support his plan. He said calmly: "From the general theory of calculation, your plan has a high probability of success."

"But... my friend." Plex's voice rarely showed some fluctuations, "But... I think you are taking a risk, you are forcing yourself, and the safest option is for us to continue to reinforce Eustarie."

"It's still worth taking the risk. What if a huge Zerg fleet or a new 'beast' orc leader emerges from Octareus soon? The current arrangement can at least buy some more time for humanity."

Sahansen's words were tired and helpless, "I am already very old and don't have much time left."

Chapter 211: Grom of the Snakebite Clan

In the Oronian system, whether it was Planet 3 or Planet 4, the greenskins were caught in a war. This time the enemy was very traditional, a civil war among the greenskins themselves.

Grom, the leader of the Snakebite clan, led his fleet to attack the Oronian system. He was originally chasing the Zerg fleet, but he didn't expect that the Zerg was gone. He was so angry that he ordered all the greenskins in the system to submit to him and recognize him as the boss.

It is obvious that after witnessing the power and bravery of the sly boss, no greenskin in the Oronia galaxy thinks that Grom can be their boss.

The greenskins thought that if they couldn't reach an agreement through negotiation, they would just fight. So the two groups of greenskins fought each other, pushing the Oronian system into war again.

The greenskins left behind by Cheng Mingrui in the Oronya galaxy are not a group of scattered sand, but there is a boss. This boss is very special, he is a fart spirit, he is Jin Ya.

Jin Ya is an ambitious guy. He initially trained Squig, a shark that can fight underwater, for Cheng Mingrui in order to win the favor of the sly boss. As for Tie Claw, the boss who was not strong enough was no longer in his eyes.

When Cheng Mingrui was about to set off, Jin Ya pushed all the powerful greenskins who could compete with him onto the ship, and helped them build the ancient giant garbage and provided them with teeth.

Sure enough, when Cheng Mingrui set off, those left in the Oroniya galaxy were a group of newborn greenskins, and no one could compete with him for the boss.

The orcs are also greenskins, they also have dreams, they hope to be the boss, they hope to lead the boys to do exciting waaagh. Even if their physical fitness does not allow them, they will find other ways to do it. Compared with the orcs, they are more cunning and cruel.

In the early stages of the war, Grom temporarily suppressed Planets 3 and 4 with the advantage of his space fleet and a large number of guys. He confidently felt that his victory was overwhelming and unquestionable.

But reality slapped him in the face very quickly. After entering the ground battle, it became increasingly difficult for his guys to expand the advantages gained from the initial attack.

The Snakebite Clan is good at breeding Squiggs, and all kinds of Squigg war beasts come from this clan. Their attacks also start with various Squigg war beasts, ranging from more than ten meters tall to several dozen meters tall, as the vanguard.

The outstanding individuals among these war beasts are no less powerful than the Tyranitar war beasts, and they are even wilder and more violent.

On the Oronia III, Grom sat on his giant Squig. This Squig was the largest, with strong limbs, long fangs, and a back that was wide enough for the boys to build a three-story small palace.

With Grom's Squig as the vanguard, more than a dozen Squigs formed a charging formation and prepared to attack the defense line set up by Gold Fang.

The battlefield was also a familiar old place, Capello in the southern hemisphere of Euronia III. The city was trampled into ruins by the green tide brought by Cheng Mingrui, and Jin Ya rebuilt it.

In fact, it is very troublesome to build such a broken place. It would be better to use those human cities in the north to build a new greenskin gathering place. However, this is the first place that the sly boss has visited, so it is very commemorative. Therefore, the boys enthusiastically built this place into the largest greenskin gathering place on the planet.

In the past month, Grom's troops and Gold Fang's troops have been fighting here continuously but to no avail, which led to Grom personally joining the battle.

Grom's advantage was that he had a large number of them. He brought thousands of Orc warships and could airdrop hundreds of millions of them at a time. On the other hand, Gold Fang only had less than 100 million good guys, so he had no choice but to use a lot of fart spirits to fill the battle line and make up for the difference in numbers.

As the war continued, more and more new guys were planted and joined Jin Ya's army, slowly closing the gap in military strength. Moreover, Jin Ya also had an advantage in equipment. It might be because Cheng Mingrui had established the relationship with the Screw Clan, the new guys all had a talent for mechanics, they could make guns with junk and cars with a wrench.

As a result, everyone in the Screw Clan under Gold Fang on Capello's defense line had at least a Chopper and a Big Gun. The firepower also increased accordingly. Normally, Grom's boys would lose half of their troops when they rushed to close combat.

This time, with the giant Squig beast attracting firepower, their losses were reduced.

Since the most talented technical guys were taken away by Cheng Mingrui, it would take some time for the new guys to accumulate experience and awaken the technology in their genes, so large orc mechas were not produced in large quantities.

Occasionally, some canned kills are one of the few ways that Gold Fang has to deal with the giant Squig war beasts.

After Grom, the eldest brother, launched the attack, his boys started to fight back. In addition, the Snakebite Clan advocated ancient-style combat, so the boys were thick-skinned and durable.

For a while, the bullets fired by the Screw Clan could hardly penetrate the waaagh position that protected the Snake Bite Clan boys and cause fatal damage to them.

After losing one-third of the giant Squig war beasts, Graeme's mount was the first to break through the defensive position. Its huge feet crushed the trenches and its long fangs pushed down the turrets.

After finding a breakthrough, the boys from the Snake Bite Clan rushed in and fought with the boys from the Screw Clan. Since the boys from the Snake Bite Clan were taller and more numerous, it was often the case that one boy from the Screw Clan would block two boys from the Snake Bite Clan, and even fart spirits would entangle the Snake Bite boys.

After entering the close combat, Jin Ya and his clan boys were at a disadvantage, even if he threw his own sneaky boys into the battle. He was a little annoyed, why did the slippery boss take away the elite of the clan only a few days after he became the boss, and the enemy came, but he would not admit that this was the sin caused by his ambition.

Of course, if he surrenders to Grom now, there is still hope. As long as he hands over enough teeth, Grom may not necessarily kill Gold Fang.
