This Terra is a little weird.

"Hey! K-3's position is safe for now. When will the reinforcements arrive?"

“Just three minutes!”

The roar of the Valkyrie sounded above the heads of the stormtroopers and flew towards the sea. Ten seconds later, fire and explosions were heard. Under the fire of the incendiary bombs, a huge figure in the sea was fighting with the Valkyrie.

"Shit…what is that?"

"A monster among them."

The sound of Thunder Eagle sounded, and the Space Marines jumped out of the cabin and stood steadily on the beach.

"Hold your line, guards!"

The stormtroopers made way for the Space Marines armed with heavy weapons. Several squads of stormtroopers and several squads of Space Marines formed a simple line of defense, but such a simple line of defense was a gap that mortals could hardly reach.

In the helmets of the Space Marines and Stormtroopers, the signal of a large school of terrifying fish has appeared on the helmet display screen, and the yellow highlighted triangle has covered the entire screen.

"Wait until they get closer!"

Flares were fired from mortars into the sky, and the flashes that followed illuminated the entire beach. The data operators in the rear immediately calculated the appropriate data and reported it to the artillery in the rear.

"Three rounds of conventional ammunition! Fire!"

The earth-shaking cannons immediately began to roar, and the steel shells symbolizing death fell into the sea bream, annihilating a large number of terrifying fish on the beach. However, due to the insufficient number of earth-shaking cannons deployed outside the beach and the lack of mortars, and the need to distribute firepower across the entire beach, a large number of terrifying fish still crossed the bombing area.

The veterans of the former Imperial Fists legion set up their boarding shields, turning the fragile beach shelter into a solid defensive wall. The shields slammed heavily on the ground, and the signal to open fire had been given.

The bolter and the hell gun fired one after another, each bolt accurately killed the enemy, and the heat from the hell gun evaporated every approaching fish.

Hai Si's blood stained the entire beach, and his broken body was swept into the sea by the tide.

After three rounds of artillery shells, the artillery support stopped, and a large number of sea heirs swarmed in. Several giant beasts also went ashore to act as meat shields and provide cover for the spitters and deep-sea founders.

Soon, various solutions and acids were thrown into the human positions. The sea marks grew unbridled, absorbing the blood on the beach, and soon spread to the land behind the beach.

"Captain, we are running low on explosive bolts, but the enemy is still endless."

"It seems that this attack is not as minor as the previous ones."

"What do we do, brother?"

The Space Marine sergeant turned to the Stormtroopers and said, "You retreat now, inform the command center of the seriousness of the situation, and have the Astra Militarum troops rushing over retreat as well. We will stay here to buy time for the first line of defense to react."

"Yes!"

The stormtroopers boarded the Chimera and retreated to the first line of defense.

The Space Marines stood on the beach holding chainswords or power axes. In front of them was the endless sea and a vast number of sea creatures.

"We will stay here today, brothers! Now is the time to fulfill our duty! The Emperor has given us a mission! We must complete it! For the Imperium!"

"For the Empire!"

The Space Marines rushed forward side by side, firing their bolters to kill the behemoths, the thin steel collided with the thick flesh, the steel blades of the chainsaw faced the teeth of flesh.

The Space Marines broke through the momentum of the Terrorfishes' advance with unstoppable momentum. They surrounded the former Space Wolves and Salamanders warriors who were responsible for the assault. The Imperial Fists stood on the slope between the beach and the plain. They were responsible for blocking the advancement of the Sea Si. The Sea Si who bypassed the Space Marines in front were all shot and killed by bolters.

The squire knight also stepped onto the beach, and the huge chainsword cut through large amounts of flesh and blood like sweeping away garbage, becoming an important pillar of this weak steel defense line.

"Hello? I'm, what?"

The Patriot was awakened from his sleep. He had been working for a long time and finally wanted to have a good rest, but he did not expect to encounter Hai Si's attack in the middle of the night.

"Sir, Haisi launched a massive attack. Except for the beach supported by the Space Marines, all other beaches have fallen. The Stormtroopers are seriously short of numbers and supplies. Some people did not retreat, and..."

"Let those who have retreated join the first line of defense. Let the first line of defense be put into operation now. I will only give you three minutes. After the first line of defense is ready, let the Space Marines withdraw."

"understand!"

"General!"

"what happened again?"

"The Valkyrie Squadron reported that they encountered a huge monster carrying incendiary bombs, which had no effect."

“How big is the target?”

"As big as a castle lord-level knight, or even bigger."

"Have the Linguang family prepared. The heavy armored company will move into the first line of defense. Tell the regiments in Rembil and Sargon to be ready to meet the enemy at any time."

The Patriots have made follow-up deployments, and all that remains is to wait for the development of the battle.

But he still had something to do, call Hellagur.

"Command, the war has begun."

"I didn't expect it to happen so quickly. The second line of defense is only halfway built. Perhaps we should fight more aggressively and confine the enemy to the beach."

"According to the report just now, the Valkyrie discovered a sea monster as big as a castle lord-level knight."

"I thought wild pan crabs were big enough."

"It seems that nature still has many surprises for us."

"Since we are ready, we can only wait and see how the battle develops. There is not much we can do now. I have to make a call to the Joint Conference."

"of course."

The news was quickly passed on to the joint meeting. Representatives from various countries got up in the middle of the night to hold an emergency meeting, which lasted until the next morning. The content of the meeting was then passed on to each country.

At the same time, the situation on the battlefield was not clear. In order to cover the retreat of the Space Marines and the Squires, the Valkyries carried a large number of incendiary bombs and high-explosive bombs. Only the Heavy Bolters were able to take charge of aerial combat. Without the Death Messenger fragmentation missiles, they would have a hard time under the attack of a large number of Wanderers, but relying on their thick skin and flesh, the Valkyries completed the bombing mission perfectly.

The Squire Knights retreated first, and the Space Marines fought and retreated, boarding the Thunderhawks in batches and returning to the first line of defense for preparation.

The Linguang family rushed to the first line of defense. Several huge knight mechas were distributed throughout the battlefield. The castle lord-level knight with the longest range was the first to use the volcanic heat ray cannon to shoot the giant beast on the sea into two pieces. Then a small number of Valkyries who came to support them joined the bombing mission without stopping.

Now the Sixth Corps stationed on the first line of defense has made preparations, all the ammunition has been organized, the encirclement has been set up, and they are just waiting for Hai Si to take the bait.

It was two days later that Dadi learned about the war on the front line. Luo Chen fell into silence after hearing the news.

Since Hai Si has started the attack, it may mean that Skadi has found the truth and made her own choice.

Those deep-sea hunters disappeared, and there was no news about where they went, so there was no way to find them.

Things became very troublesome. The second line of defense had not been completed and the defense force was insufficient. Although many troops were on standby, most of them had to be stationed in other areas.

Iberia is not the only uneasy area, there are also other countries along the route, but the war situation is not as urgent as in Iberia. The northern ice field is also not quiet, and the small group of flesh and blood legions in the east that have not been dealt with in time are also ready to move, and they seem to have ended the civil war.

It seemed as if in an instant, the earth had put all the pressure on us. Humankind was being tested at this moment. If they succeeded, they would survive; if they failed, they would be destroyed.

The tracker that was secretly placed on Skadi lost its signal a few months ago, and it was finally discovered that she was in Colombia.

Luo Chen didn't understand why she went there, but there must be a reason, so Luo Chen directly sent a team of Space Marines to investigate, hoping to find some clues.

During this period of time, they have to focus on the factory. There will definitely be a lot of arms orders in the next period of time. The inventory of the Astra Militarum is not abundant to begin with, and Luo Chen also knows that laser guns will be the absolute ruler of the battlefield at the beginning of the war, including those weapons and equipment pulled out from the holy vessels, but they are always limited in number.

After the shells and fuel are used up, they can only use locally produced fuel and ammunition, which will greatly limit their combat effectiveness. It is not that the laser gun can be used continuously as long as there is an energy magazine. The magazine can be recharged, but the laser gun itself does not have many parts to repair itself.

The number of laser guns will decrease due to being left behind during a retreat, the death of the user with no way to recover them, or the lifespan reaching its limit during use.

As the war progresses, the Astra Militarum will probably be equipped with automatic rifles produced by Agrippina or Lucius. By then, the consumption of spare parts and ammunition will be astronomical, not to mention the demand for artillery shells.

Thinking about those needs gave Luo Chen a headache. Although the original armies of the entire earth mostly used cold weapons, facing Hai Si, relying solely on Originium skills and cold weapons would not be enough. They could rely on various nutrients to replenish their troops.

After research, it was found that the growth cycle of sea cucumbers is very short. If the conditions are right, a large nest can appear in a short period of time. However, the population on earth is limited and the mining speed is not fast, which has brought serious obstacles to the operation of factories and the development of the army.

Luo Chen leaned back in his chair, not knowing what to do.

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in." Luo Chen looked at the person coming in and said, "W, what's wrong?"

"I watched the news. You must be anxious now, right?"

"Well, the order has been sent to me. With this amount, the factory's machines won't be able to produce all the goods even if they run out of wheels."

"Maybe we can be sent abroad."

"Outbound assignment?"

"Well, we will suffer losses in this case, but this is the only way to sustain an attack on a large army. We distribute the technology to various large factories and then assemble them together. We can produce much more than our own dozen factories and industrial parks can produce."

"That's a good idea, but the problem is, we have to find a partner, and the location has to be somewhere with high-quality ore. Who would dare to use something made with low-quality ore?"

"You know a lot of people. Just ask around. I think Victoria is a good option. They have enough factories. At most, you can give some to Black Steel or Kalan. Just get this order done first."

"Okay, Tallulah and Alina are leaving?"

"Well, they went to discuss the location of the new factory. Mudstone and I are also going out to complete the mission."

"Be careful."

"Hehehe, it's just a security mission. There's nothing dangerous."

After W left, Luo Chen began to contact people everywhere and put forward some ideas. Many people wanted the technology of automatic guns. After all, anyone could use it and it was more practical than a gun. Although it was a bit more expensive including the bullets, many people could not see something like a gun.

Victoria, Luo Chen actually wanted to think about it. Although Victoria is such a big country, it did not provide many soldiers to the Star Army. Although it has its own defense needs, even a small border country can provide 30,000 people, but Victoria only provided less than 8,000 people.

Compared to the busy Cadia, Rhodes Island seemed much quieter, or rather, only the top leaders of Rhodes Island were busy. The doctor was negotiating with many people, including medical training, personnel training, and preparations for future participation in the war.

Kal'tsit clearly stated that the Doctor's idea of ​​Skadi being able to maintain her sanity was most likely impossible to achieve. Although she wanted to try, the Doctor did not completely ignore Kal'tsit.

This war between humans and the Sea requires the unity of all mankind. As the country that proposed the alliance, Rhodes Island will naturally join it. Although their efforts have resulted in a loose and bloated alliance, it is better than nothing. At the very least, the Astra Militarum can be stationed on the land of various countries to provide maximum support to the front line.

"Doctor, the silver-gray boss of Kalan Trading wants to meet with you." Amiya was holding a stack of documents. Looking at her flushed face and her chest rising and falling, the doctor knew that she was very tired during this period.

"Amiya, do you feel your strength is still..."

“It’s okay, Doctor. Even if Her Highness Theresa really gives me the Demon King’s inheritance, I will accept it calmly.”

“I don’t know what Kazdel will do to you, even after going through this kind of war.”

"It's okay. We will get through this strong, just like before."

"Amiya...you're right, we will get through this."

"Well, Doctor, come on, the soldiers on the front line are working hard, and we can't be lazy either, we have to work hard."

"Let me drink a pot of hot water first. Where's my thermos?"

Chapter 207: Siege of the Power Station

After a night of high alert, the first line of defense did not face the expected attack. According to the report of the reconnaissance aircraft, Haisi retreated after capturing the beach and advancing more than ten miles. It is not clear why they did this. If they simply removed the warning line on the beach, it would be a waste of resources.

But the reason why wars between humans are similar is that everyone can use psychology or strategic battlefield situations to infer what the enemy wants to do, but when facing the non-human species of Haisi, we still don’t understand their organizational structure, troop deployment and thinking logic.

In other words, the Astra Militarum Command had no idea what they were going to do and was in a state of panic with its hands stretched out.

In addition, scouts reported that some humans were found in the area near the defense line.

But that is simply impossible. All the coastal towns have been evacuated, the tunnels and underground caves have all been sealed, and the beach guard troops have all withdrawn to their defense lines. There should be no one left.

But the scouts clearly said that it was a human, or a creature similar to a human. The Astra Militarum Command discussed the situation and believed that it was very likely that it was an enemy because some of the sea creatures were evolving in the direction of anthropomorphism, or they were imitating humans.

For example, Mizuki, the current operator of Rhodes Island, and Haimo, also an operator of Rhodes Island, are recorded in the archives.

In order to ensure the accuracy of the intelligence, the command specially invited the doctor to serve as a consultant on this urgent issue.

A day later, the Stormtroopers and a team of Rhodes Island operators were responsible for protecting the doctor's safety, but perhaps they knew they had been discovered, so they found nothing after three consecutive days of searching. Only a vague figure was photographed on the fourth day.

When summarizing the results later, everyone was at a loss and the doctor could only give his own suggestions.

"I believe there are many people in the sea who have Shuiyue. I don't know how many of them are willing to be human, so..."

"So now we will treat all life forms outside the first line of defense as enemies."

"In fact, you can try to take the initiative to attack. There is no need to stay here."

"Doctor, our situation is not as optimistic as you think. There are 34 combat-capable corps now, 24 of which are originally from the Republic of Ursus. Except for those who came here and are stationed in Sargon and Rem Bito, the rest are all defending in the Endless Icefield and the Eastern Alienated Land. In other words, there are actually only five corps that can fight now, and we are also facing the problem of insufficient weapons inventory. It is difficult for us to defeat the endless sea on the beach with this kind of troops. And you have to understand that the number of high-powered artillery shells is limited, and we will only use them where they should be used."

"I see, you are short of soldiers now."

"Yes, conscription is a big problem. After conscription and training, the soldiers have to be stationed in other countries according to regulations. I estimate that it will take at least five months to get a new corps. I hope we can really last five months."

"With the knights of the Linguang family here, their firepower is very strong."

"They can only temporarily support the deployment, including a number of tanks, because our fuel is also limited. Again, we will not use them unless it is an important battle, especially the Knight Mech. Every time they are used, the promethium and special energy used up will cause us to bleed heavily. Promethium is not a big deal, it can be used when mixed with Originium, but what as the main energy source... I don't know, anyway, there are only those, and each time they are used, they are less."

"It turns out that the Astra Militarum soldiers have their own grievances that they cannot express."

"Our conditions are already very good. It was really difficult when we were fighting guerrilla warfare on the northern ice sheet."

The messenger suddenly rushed in: "Report! Emergency!"

"What? What's the emergency?"
