Chapter 620 Beast Wars: Assault Preparation
Vito looked at the mining world outside the energy shield. It was just below the Infinite Frontier. The exploding ships and burning wreckage were falling from the outer atmosphere and into the planet's atmosphere. In a desolate landscape, There are some fireballs lit on the land, and that is the only color worth mentioning on this planet.
In addition, this planet is as Vito first knew, barren and worthless. Judging from the situation on the surface, it seems that the planet has long been exhausted, and the precious metals brought by the asteroid rain have all been destroyed by the previous The Adeptus Mechanicus, and now the Greenskins, dug it out.
Vito looked at the huge Orc transport ship, which was burning with raging fire. The many transport cabins tied to the ends fell from the sky and turned into fireballs and fell to the surface of the planet.
"Vito, we're ready."
Cole came over and said to the side, Vito turned around, glanced at the planet aside and nodded.
"Without further delay, act as quickly as possible before the orcs react."
Vito walked towards the assembly point, and Cole followed him through the Thunderhawks preparing to take off on the entire deck. The place was covered with busy ground crews, Mechanicum priests, and flying servo skulls. of ground and sky.
"Similar to the results obtained by Omega, there are very few greenskin fleets on this planet. I guess it is because there is not much development value here, and the orcs are also preparing to evacuate."
Cole said from behind as he bent down and slipped under a Thunderhawk that was welding bomb racks.
He and Vito slipped between the sparks while Cole continued talking.
"I'm afraid this planet will have little value in the future. The green skins and years of development have long since exhausted it. I think the Ministry of Government may not want to return here."
"Listen to what you mean, do you think our efforts here are in vain? This planet is useless anyway."
Vito walked in front and asked, while Cole shook his head. If he were an ordinary person, he would have been frightened just now.
But Cole won't. He and Vito have been together for many years, and he knows that those words are casual and those words are serious.
"No, any planet is valuable to the empire. Even if this planet's resources are exhausted, it can be used as a radar station or early warning planet in the future. The empire can always make the best use of it."
This is true. Any planet, even the most dangerous dead planets, can exert its remaining heat in the hands of the empire.
Maybe this is human potential.
"Then please leave the greenskins here, but their things cannot be taken away."
"You know what? Vito."
"what do you know?"
"You are starting to look like you again, the person you were before as the Inquisitor."
Vito smiled, raised his head and crawled through the hanging pipe.
"I'm glad you said that. I still prefer being that Vito rather than a marshal."
Cole followed him through the many hanging pipes, as if he had emerged from a forest of leather and steel. They arrived after the thunder shadows were parked and the follow-up landing began.
A reserved clearing between heavy transports for rapid delivery of troops.
There are many chairs placed here, all arranged in square positions. Stormtroopers, Imperial Army soldiers, and Navy pilots are all sitting here.
They were already fully armed, leaning their guns on their shoulders and looking at Vito who was approaching.
There was also a huge steel chair among them. Olaf and Lancelot were sitting on it, standing out among the crowd of mortals, looking at Vito who was approaching with their arms folded.
In front of them, there was a temporary holographic display. Because it was temporarily built, various pipelines were everywhere on the ground.
Between the thick pipes, Vito stepped across the pipes and stood in front of everyone. After nodding to the priest of the Mechanicus behind him, he activated the holographic image.
Tactical information and a map appeared on it, and Vito raised his hand and pointed at the map.
"Everyone here should be familiar with this map when they came from the subspace voyage. You have enough time to understand and learn from it."
"Then don't let me talk now. Let Captain Cole speak. Let me see how much everyone understands."
Vito said and stepped aside, Cole nodded and walked over.
In fact, this was Vito's selfishness. He had no time to look at the map and understand the complicated tactical information along the way.
He has been busy having "divine love" with Lilith, and is dragged to the realm of Slaanesh by her every night. Helena is also there a few times.
But apart from the chaos in his mind like a sandstorm after those nights, Vito was thinking about Fulgrim's words every time he was awake.
So far, Vito has not figured out what he meant by that.
But Cole didn't know this, and they didn't know this, so Vito sat on a chair on the side and watched Cole occupying the holographic device. He turned around and pointed at the tactical map behind him. The map was enlarged in time. Quite a few.
"The information we have obtained shows that most of the greenskin's ground forces are now concentrated in these areas. We plan to force them back here, the core factory area, through follow-up strikes."
Cole said as a red circle flashed on the map behind him. It was a huge single building in a valley.
Cole pointed at it.
"The aliens built an arsenal here. According to our current understanding, there are a large number of weapons and giant structures stored here. It will be very difficult to attack, so we plan to gather the greenskins together first."
"And the greenskins have built many defense lines and fortresses around, especially here."
Cole said, pointing to a corner of the map, which was no longer in the display range, but after zooming out and then zooming in, a huge building structure really appeared there.
It fully shows that Cole knows this map well.
"In this valley, the aliens built a wall fortress, which leads directly to the outer perimeter of the nest behind the valley. There is a straight road leading to the core factory area. The aliens will definitely keep a close watch here, and no ground troops can get close to it before then."
Cole clapped his hands in his palms, and then pointed to the members of the Mechanicus sitting here, the representatives of the Titan Order whose bodies were painted red and white.
"The Titans of the Titan Order will be deployed later. This is what I said before. After the Titans are deployed, they will use heavy weapons to destroy this wall."
Vito and the people around him looked at the members of the Titan Order. They sat there and nodded, then looked at Cole. The captain also nodded to them, then slammed his fist on the palm of his other hand and looked at the people around him.
"The Navy will control the orbit in a few minutes, and then the Infinite Frontier will descend into the atmosphere and send you close enough, but after that it will be up to you."
Vito stood up, walked to Cole, put his hands behind his back and turned to face everyone.
"The aliens on this planet have no way to retreat. They will launch a desperate counterattack. We must stop them. Do you have confidence?"
"Yes."
The stormtroopers, army, and navy members present responded at the same time in a calm but firm tone. Vito looked at them and nodded, then pointed to Ragnar.
"Little Wolf, you lead a team to land here and then go to the rendezvous point."
The beacon was marked on the tactical map behind Vito. Ragnar nodded after reading it, and Vito then pointed to Olaf.
"Old Wolf, you lead the heavy troops, follow up, land here and come as soon as possible."
"As the All-Father wishes."
Olav lowered his head to respond, Vito nodded and looked at Eisenstein, who stood up and looked.
"Eisenstein, you lead the team to land here, Lancelot's team is here, and then head to the rendezvous point."
The two nodded at the same time, and Vito looked at the people sitting in front of him with his hands behind his back.
"Any questions?"
"No!"
"Then the Emperor's Eye is above, let him be proud of us."
Vito stood at attention and saluted the soldiers in front of him.
"Long live the Emperor."
They all stood up at the same time and saluted him.
"Long live the Emperor!"
