The Astartes Family's Notebook

Under the cover of the fleet, the meritorious frigate withdrew from the battle sequence. Taking advantage of the Orcs' gravity weapons' recharging interval, the four capital ships concentrated all their firepower to blast open a corner of the Orcish boulder, creating a usable landing zone for boarding torpedoes.

Then, the company brothers in power armor happily wailed as they went inside.

Once they were inside the orcish megalith, they activated the teleportation beacon, bringing in the Terminator squad that was waiting in full force.

While the orcs' Waaaaagh force field is amazing, in fact, it conforms to the common sense of physics more than some human technologies.

As long as the orc's power module is destroyed.

Although it's unclear how the orcs' power engines work, you can cripple the orcish megalith's energy supply by blowing up any seemingly legitimate modules.

It's likely that the orcs thought, "We've cut off the power," and so they really did.

Kars was itching to go and join the battle, wishing he could actually transform into the ultimate creature and fly over there.

Unfortunately, the company commander wouldn't include him. What could he do but obediently watch the space fireworks show and learn the ship's command skills?

Ugh, what a curse! Sephiroth, when are you finally going to die?

Having experience fighting the Orks, the Fourth Company, with the Victory Balance and the Pioneer Star having no intention of conserving ammunition, relentlessly suppressed the Orks' Waaaaaagh force field strength with their frenzied output.

Meanwhile, Judge Odachi paced impatiently back and forth on his newly acquired ship.

He wanted to give the captain some orders, but space warfare wasn't a required course for the Inquisitors, and the young Inquisitor had no idea what to do next. He could only hope that the Fourth Company's operation would go smoothly.

Finally, the tedious and anxious wait came to an end. As the Terminator Squadron teleported back to the Victory Balance, the Imperial Naval Air Force, having received the sortie signal, immediately used fighter squadrons to cover the Thunderhawk gunboats as they went to pick up the Astartes.

As the Wagggggh field failed, the orcish megalith began to crumble, the fragments captured by the planet's gravity and raining down on the ground as meteors.

Without time to rest, Tyrant ordered Katz to immediately return to the Victory Balance to prepare for the second wave of airborne operations.

"Those two idiots, Madsich and Ingus, knew I wasn't good at commanding, so why didn't they send one back? Now look what happened, we're still stuck rescuing them anyway, what a waste of effort."

Unsurprisingly, the Fourth Company's boarding operation encountered the Orc WarBoss. After achieving their tactical objective, the company commander and the company champion stayed behind to cover the retreat, and the Thunderhawk Boulder disintegrated before it could make the return trip.

However, Tyrant was not worried that the two would die because of this. With the Terminator armor, landing on the planet's surface in their physical form was not a difficult task.

The problem now is that the four-man squad must bring them back before the orcs can overwhelm them with sheer numbers.

We must act quickly.

The raid and boarding maneuver resulted in the loss of only one combat comrade, which can be considered a success. However, thirteen men were seriously injured and must be immediately moved into the hydroponic silo to save their lives while awaiting further treatment from the company's pharmacist.

Even after deducting those with severely damaged power armor, missing limbs, or those weakened after the effects of the medication wore off, Tyrant could only spare forty-two people, even if he included the company chaplains and Kaz.

Hopefully, it will be enough.

In the end, they finally defeated the Orcish giant and seized air superiority. Even the artillery fire of the escort ships could effectively suppress the Orcish giant.

The Thunderhawk is too slow; just use an airdropped pod.

Saving Private Mad Sich and Ingus.

The operation begins.

After a simple weapon swap and ammunition replenishment, the first drop pod crashed down one minute and forty-seven seconds later, almost chasing after the disintegrating orc boulder.

After Kaz flew away from Pioneer Star aboard the Thunderhawk gunship, he immediately realized, "Why go back to the Victory Balance? Just head straight for the surface!"

Thus, having missed the chance to experience the drop pod once again, Katz ordered the pilot to lock onto the drop pod's location and give chase.

Chapter 68 Titanus, just Little Katz

Aside from Bloodraven, no Astartes can trade one for one with an Orc.

-------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------

Hey, Vigas, your good days of driving around in your old junk are over. Hand over the Motor Sich company commander now.

Before the Wings of the Wasteland joined the war, the orbit above the planet above Anvislan was occupied by the Orcish Giants. Without the firepower support of the Imperial Navy, the Astragalus could only watch helplessly as the Orcish Giants and Golems rampaged and wreaked havoc.

If it weren't for the massive cannons on the city walls of the hive city effectively suppressing the orcish Titan units, the morale of the Astragalus Army would have collapsed long ago.

Now, although the boulder has fallen and natural disasters have struck again, the Astronauts are in high spirits, cheering for the Emperor's angels from their shelters.

The orcs' good days are over. Titans are not omnipotent. Even the Imperial Titans of the Empire can only manage to ram into destroyers. The firepower of any frigate can easily defeat an Imperial Titan.

So the orcish ancient giants, who were comparable to Emperor-level Titans, had their happy days of running wild.

The problem now is that the orcs' Waaaaagh force field is really unreasonable. The orcs on the planet's surface collectively thought that the giant rocks in the sky should fall on their side. So the broken rocks really did press down on Newton's coffin lid, tracing an extremely unscientific trajectory, and lurching the four airdrop pods that fell in succession.

Tyrant is cursing.JPG.

Despite being part of the second batch of rescuers, Katz and his Thunderhawk gunboat were the first to arrive at the accident site.

As expected, Motor Sich and Ingus were unharmed; Terminator A was indeed awesome.

However, the green-skinned orcs who were filling mountains and seas were besieging the boulder fragments where the two were holding, and a hundred kilometers away, the ancient orc giants and three hairy Vajras were rushing towards them.

The situation is very pessimistic.

It's unrealistic to simply use Thunder Eagle to rescue people and then run away.

Because Kaz had already spotted the orc jet fighter squadron.

No need to guess, it's the Goff clan.

A Thunderhawk could easily take on one or two Orc fighters, but that was an entire squadron of them.

So before the orc fighter squadron could encircle them, Kaz jumped off the Thunderhawk, dragging the ammunition supply box with him, and ordered the pilots to lure the orc fighters away, not to fight them head-on, and to wait for the Imperial Navy's air squadron to provide support.

Given the current battlefield situation, piecemeal tactics are an unavoidable choice.

Although Katz also became a soldier in need of rescue, at least he brought a whole box full of ammunition supplies.

"You shouldn't have come."

A terrible scratch ran across Ingus's breastplate, probably left by the orc WarBoss with his power claws. But since the company champion and company commander were both alive, the outcome of that battle was not hard to guess.

Kaz ignored Ingus's taunts, while Company Commander Mad Sich took the opportunity of Kaz taking over his firing position to quickly replenish his ammunition.

That really saved my life.

Although Motor Sich didn't say it aloud, he silently gave Kaz extra points in his heart.

One hundred points, it has to be one hundred points!

Huge chunks of rock kept crashing onto the ground, causing violent tremors and kicking up clouds of dust.

Astartes had tactical helmets to filter the air, but the orcs breathed in the deadly smoke and dust, enough to suffocate mortals, as if they were on stimulants.

It seems like the green-skinned orcs are having a blast right now.

Even though the boulders have been destroyed, the Empire's warships will soon be able to launch ground attacks from low orbit, and the orcs are about to face annihilation.

These unlucky bastards are having a blast.

I'm having a blast for no reason.

But it's not a big problem, and Katz is having a blast.

So what if they're just green-skinned orcs with a starting price of five figures? Watch me slaughter them to entertain the Emperor!

After resupplying the ammunition, Motor Sich took over Ingus's position and sent the company champion to resupply as well.

Then, the fourth company commander voiced his confusion.

"Kaz, why did you put four chainsaw swords in the supply crate?"

"Because even the largest ammunition supply box can't hold five thousand rounds of explosives."

Motor Sich was confused, while Ingus couldn't help but roll his eyes.

That bastard, he's a real piece of trash...

For Motor Sich and Ingus, Kars's addition was not simply about having another fighting brother.

Without Kaz bringing ammunition supplies, the two would have occupied this small hill only to observe the situation, and would have had to rely on mobile warfare to harass the orcs before they could encircle them.

But then Katz arrived, bringing ammunition and supplies, allowing the three to form a combat team and hold their ground while awaiting reinforcements.

Even the Astartes, despite their incredible endurance, would tire and suffer from muscle strain.

Even Ingus, if surrounded by layers of green-skinned orcs, could only kill three or five hundred at most before his stamina waned, his offense faltered, and his defense faltered, ultimately being overwhelmed by the orcs' corpses.

However, with Motor Sich helping to share the pressure, the two were able to break through the encirclement by fighting back to back and recover their strength while maneuvering.

The Astartes are terrifying, aren't they? Running 100 meters in seven seconds, they can actually relax their bodies and recover their strength.

With Kaz joining the fray, the three can take turns reducing the intensity of their battles and taking short breaks, which can greatly alleviate combat fatigue and extend their high-efficiency combat period.

This is the true meaning of fighting brothers.

Orcs speak a very primitive language, and many words and phrases require the user's emotional tone to understand.

Therefore, the empire's class division of orcs was a translation based on its own interpretation of what it meant to be faithful, expressive, and elegant.

The main force of the attack is the Orc Boys, roughly equivalent to ordinary soldiers of the Imperial Astral Army. Three Astartes can easily take them down with a single shot.

However, with the orc-modified chariots appearing on the horizon, the orc leader, a large orc who could pose a certain threat to Astartes, is about to join the battlefield.

If this drags on any longer, the fart-monger canned food and the orc canned food will inevitably follow.

Finally, more orc leaders and orc warlords appeared.

Don't be curious. Although Madsich and Ingus have already killed one WarBoss at Orc Rock, the fact that the morale of the Orcs on the surface hasn't collapsed is enough to tell that the Greenskin Orcs who invaded Anwizland have at least two WarBosses.

Two orcish giant rocks, two WarBosses, one hanging in the sky, one smashed to the ground, one dead, one alive—it makes sense.

The one that survives and absorbs more green-skinned orcs will only become stronger.

This battle won't be easy.

However, now is not the time to think about these things; the most urgent task is to stop wave after wave of green tides.

The morale of the green-skinned orcs is a mystery.

Despite the corpses strewn across the field, the orcs showed no fear as they stepped over the bodies of their own kind.

However, if Mad Sich were to snipe an orc leader with a single shot, the orc lads around the corpse would immediately collapse in morale and fall into chaos.

Then the next orc leader kicked a few orc lads in the butt and shot a few who tried to escape, and the morale of the greenskins was miraculously restored.

Anyway, it's really amazing.

Ingus was indeed well-rounded, while Madsich was known as a sharpshooter, and the company champion could even compete with his superior in sniping.

The silent duel between the two sharpshooters made Katz look rather dull in comparison.

Is this really necessary? My shooting score is excellent; I hit the bullseye every time within 400 meters during training!

Sorry, but for Astartes, 400 meters is no different from a stationary target.

Little brother, you still need to practice.

Chapter 69 Facing the Power of Naval Guns

Laying down anti-aircraft guns is nothing special; bringing naval guns ashore is what truly makes a hero.

-------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------

Finally, Motor Sich discovered that Katz's act of stuffing the chainsaw sword into the supply box was actually quite farsighted.

The massive dust cloud kicked up by the orcish boulder crashing to the ground obscured the sky, preventing the Imperial Navy from launching an immediate orbital strike despite having gained air superiority.

If we don't use thousands of explosive rounds sparingly, we won't last long.

Furthermore, if the barrel of a bomb gun overheats, its shooting accuracy will be severely reduced.

It's time to catch my breath and mow down the grass.

"Would you like to dance too?"

Ingus listened to Katz's witty remarks and thought the lines were good; he was destined to win the company championship, and it should be his.

Motor Sich felt as if he had been isolated again.

Do you think those green-skinned orcs understand what you're saying? You're pretending...

Forget it, Kaz did a good job protecting me. It's just some trash talk, it's no big deal.

Motor Sich stood out from so many gangs in the Wasteland Wings because of his excellent military skills and his mastery of the explosive gun.

However, when it came to close-quarters combat and mowing down enemies, Ingus and Kaz completely outshone their company commander.
