Chapter 11 Garrison Mission
In the capital of Gondvar, the Astra Militarum resting in the church of Kalu City did not rest for too long. When lunch was over, the captain could be heard making arrangements.
At present, the main goal of the Astra Militarum is to guard the star port in Kalu City, so that the continuous support and assistance will not be interrupted, and the Astra Militarum will face the attitude of most enemies.
Anyway, losing the Empire's points in that world will not make things worse, but fighting a war of attrition will definitely not allow the Astra Militarum to successfully defeat the enemy.
100,000 people will be 200,000, and 200,000 people will be 400,000. The only thing is to defend that world.
Compared with the loss of the Emperor's territory to the aliens, life may be insignificant...
When Alan Baier, the platoon leader, looked at the map issued in front of him, there were a lot of dense forests around Kalu City, and their current goal was to go to the reconnaissance base built by the Qi army near Kalu City.
When the orcs come, they will warn the main force and delay the enemy's attack. In other words, the main force will not be dispatched for the time being, and the dense forests in that world are huge, and there are no armored regiments and artillery regiments to provide cover.
Ailanbaier sighed, his regiment was destined to be cannon fodder...
The company commander saw his dissatisfaction and scolded him. "What am I doing?"
Ailanbaier rolled up his bedding and told his legs to take the huge supply package, because they also had the intention of supporting the supply when they went to the outpost. "All troops are dispatched, they go to guard the No. 3 reconnaissance station in the south of the city!"
They left the outside of Kalu City through the Chimera transport vehicle, passed through the complex human city, witnessed countless statues praising the emperor and heroes, and drove from the east to the west. When they really stepped on the land, they realized why the armored forces were not assigned.
Fallen leaves, or the rotten collapse of the rampant ferns, as thick as the blizzard in the suburbs of their hometown, Kadis, the terrible radioactive snow that was as tall as a person.
John Dongshi couldn't help complaining. "Oh my god, what are those things? Are plants so disgusting?"
Kelan also raised his machine gun with his legs. "I can't see it in the nest, so I don't want to see it there!"
Alan Baier used the bayonet on the butt of the gun to cut the vines in the forest. The environment there was really too outrageous. Obviously, most of the cars couldn't drive. When he pushed away a branch, the branch bounced back and hit the people behind him, and the complaints never stopped.
The residents of the nest have never seen the true appearance of the garden world, but the colonization of the empire is not the star sea civilization in science fiction stories that can transform the huge forest into a truly habitable place.
And the influence of many greenskins there also confined human defenses near the city of Kalu, and the greenskins could not completely clean up the humans there.
God knows how long that damn situation lasted, more than a dozen years? In a hundred years?
The ferns that covered the sky and the moon blocked the light, the complex and lush forest made it difficult for people to walk, and the large number of corrupt ferns made the terrain there ridiculously bad.
The buzzing sound continued. At first, Alanbair thought it was just an ordinary bug until a bug as big as his fist flew towards his face.
He had to tilt his head back and wave his bayonet like crazy. In fact, he was quite scared of that thing, especially the feeling of the dragonfly-like compound eyes staring at him.
But the bug seemed to ignore his resistance and continued to circle around his head. When the bug flew past his ear, it was like the engine of a Valkyrie transport plane humming non-stop.
Obviously, it didn't find anything interesting and flew away soon, flying between dense mossy trees and hanging vines, and finally hanging upside down in the dense forest.
"God Emperor, what is that..." John looked at the upside-down bug. The people in the hive city saw too many new things tomorrow. They lacked someone who was really familiar with the forest...
Interestingly, those guys were living in extremely disgusting, full of radiation and waste, and constantly recycled air, eating starch blocks recycled from layers of excrement.
Facing the "beautiful" forest, they actually felt helpless.
The hot and humid environment was consuming their physical strength very quickly, especially the three strong men of the heavy weapons team and the supply soldiers carrying a large amount of supplies, because the thick rotten plants were like swamp coal around their waists.
People were highly nervous, in an unfamiliar environment, without the guidance of veterans, there was no compass and approximate direction, which was also a big reason for the death of the new recruits of the Star Army. The local environment of the planet was bad.
When Ailanbaier saw the local Star Army's signpost, there was a sign in the forest full of vines and high Gothic. If they went forward, they should be at the outpost, and there should be two platoons of soldiers waiting for their support.
"We're almost there." Ailanbaier lowered his voice and shut up. Although the sounds of animals in the forest were bustling and the sound of ferns colliding with each other was constant, he still did so.
I don't know if such behavior touched the spirit of the residents of the nest, and a soldier suddenly couldn't help shouting.
"Enemy contact! Fifty yards west!"
The soldiers had done countless enemy contact training, at least thirty times if not fifty, but now it was a mess. Let's not talk about whether the reporting point of fifty yards west was really messy, let's just say whether the group of recruits could react and whether they didn't know the directions.
The instructor emphasized identifying the target, reporting the type and characteristics, but none of them were done.
A moment later, chaotic beams fired in the forest, with a whooshing sound, the heat of the laser ignited, scorched the trunks of the ferns, and left black bullet holes.
Alan Bayer felt terrible and was about to shout, but someone took a step ahead of him.
"Cease fire! Everyone fucking cease fire!" John ordered the anxious team to stop. The recruits were panting. Many of them had already fired the beam of a measurable battery, and the so-called enemy was falling from the tree canopy.
Then it's just a small dark green animal with three eyes, like a house cat.
Alan Bair walked over to it and looked at the yelling recruit. "Is that the enemy I'm talking about?"
The recruit hesitated. "At least it's green..."
After the farce was finally over, Alan Bayer felt a little more desperate. Such bad things would happen in Shenhuang Ruimudong...
"It's good that I didn't hit my teammates. If I hit one of my own, he would doubt your loyalty without hesitation and give me a shot."
Ke Guo had been hanging out with the political commissar for a long time. His tone made people believe that it was rare for a group of people to move forward honestly. After walking for a long time, they saw a piece of flat land in the distance of the forest.
There was an Astra Militarum-style outpost, with trenches, barbed wire, battle fortresses, and a two-story building with the word "3" written on it. There were many set-up heavy firearms and veterans there.
Alan Bair raised the flag issued in advance and painted the symbol of the Astra Militarum, and waved it.
