Chapter 444, the mobilization ratio must be higher!
In the Temir system, inside the Irontooth Clan fleet's flagship, 'Stone Field', Saru crushed another fart spirit to death and ate its heart.
The dripping blood calmed him down a little, and he was no longer so irritable.
He was a general of the Irontooth Clan and a warlord before the rise of Titus. He was born on a world in the Jiangmeiyu star zone and quickly made a name for himself, becoming the leader of an orc clan. After that, he spent more than a decade fighting on the planet, mainly targeting other greenskin tribes.
As the fighting went on, he became the boss of one of the only two green-skin forces on the planet, and he was at odds with the other one. Small-scale conflicts kept breaking out between the two sides, and they were both accumulating strength to defeat the other side in order to become the boss of the entire planet.
This is actually the daily life of the greenskin forces. Even if there is a unified leader, the various military leaders under him and the small leaders under the military leaders all rely on struggle and fighting. Without a solid ability, you can't be a leader in the orc system, even a small leader.
However, in general, with a unified leader, the orcs' internal struggles are controllable, and they are organized when fighting foreign wars.
However, when Saru went there, it was not like that. The guys under his command had a unified leadership, and the internal struggles were controllable; but when he fought against the orc warlord from the same planet, it was extremely bloody.
But before they could decide the winner, Titus arrived.
The one on the opposite side refused to submit and was killed; he submitted, so he survived, and in the subsequent battles, he made many contributions to the great chief and became a great warlord in the Irontooth Orc Empire.
Saru was unhappy about being ordered away from the main battlefield to "guard the home".
Although the Great Chief explained the pros and cons to him in a style that was rare among the orcs, coupled with his prestige and arrogance, he reluctantly accepted the order and indeed provided quite good support, not only allowing him to bring a valuable main battleship, but also allowing him to take away a group of his elite tribesmen.
Moreover, he can also dispatch the forces in the four major star regions, the base of Iron Teeth.
This force is not small, as much as dozens of green worlds!
After the Second Irontooth War, these planets were completely conquered by the Orcs. The earliest one had been conquered for more than fifty years, and the shortest one was thirty years.
Perhaps there are still humans lingering around, but their numbers are definitely very small and completely non-existent.
Those worlds, as long as they are suitable places, have almost been completely transformed into the appearance of a greenskin ecology. Every day, countless greenskin boys are born, accompanied by several times the number of fart spirits and dozens of times the number of Squiggs.
The former are excellent fighters as soon as they are born; the middle ones are cowardly, lazy, and unusable, but they are generally reliable in logistics, production, cannon fodder, and manipulating large weapons such as artillery; the last ones can be used as food, and the greenskins will starve and become weak if they rely solely on photosynthesis. The larger ones can be used as military dogs to attack and charge on the battlefield, and the larger ones can pull carts as vehicles. The largest one is the Squig, which is a war weapon.
And these worlds are full of garbage cities. That is the core area of the orcs, with countless arsenals born for war and supporting factories serving these arsenals. Under the management of the orcs' technical masters, with countless fart spirits as assistants and laborers, they produce various war weapons day and night, and even build warships that can sail in space.
This is the greenskin, this is the Irontooth clan.
As for the mobilization of various resources and troops in the Iron Tooth Empire's base, as long as the various needs of the main battlefield led by Titus himself are met, Salu can use the remaining part on his own.
So, he transported a lot of troops and weapons and equipment from the Orc Empire's lair and deployed them to the Jinguan Star Region.
Of course, he remembered the order given to him by the Great Chief: garrison the Golden Pass Star Zone and prevent the humans in the east from advancing again, to ensure that the newly conquered star zones such as the Golden Pass, Bronze Pass, and Viree Star Zone located in the eastern part of the star field can be transformed into greenskin worlds normally, and continue to provide resources for Titus's main expedition.
In this case, his primary defense focus is naturally the three worlds of the Temir galaxy.
Temir 2 already has the conditions for a comprehensive transformation into a greenskin world. He has mobilized a large number of personnel to enter here to speed up the transformation operation; there are still a large number of humans living on Temir 5. Although the greenskins have already established a foothold there, it is definitely not enough to just establish a foothold. He has also invested a lot of troops on the surface of this world; there are a large number of mineral resources on Temir 4, but the terrain is too complex and difficult to fight, so let's take it slow.
Ideally, the human forces in worlds 2 and 5 would be eliminated, or at least made insignificant, and then they would be completely green-skinned, a world that continuously produces all kinds of green-skinned creatures, and a large number of garbage cities would be built, anti-orbital firepower would be deployed, and development would be made into the direction of the green-skinned fortress world.
However, this plan has now failed.
The sudden advance of the human army caught him off guard. The ships he brought back, as well as the main fleet composed of the ships left behind by the dead waste Du Yagui, were still patrolling around the Jinguan star area.
There are seven more worlds in the entire sector, and he also needs to work towards a comprehensive transformation, so he needs ships to go to various planets to provide orbital fire support and speed up the progress of the war;
The continuous transport of troops from the Iron Teeth lair to the 12 worlds in the Golden Gate Star Region, especially the three stars of Temir, also requires the occupation of ships.
Although his fleet had more than 200 ships, which seemed like a lot, they were needed here and there and could not be put together at once.
Then, a big trouble happened unexpectedly.
He was indeed unprepared for the sudden actions of humans.
In fact, the essence of this is that he looks down on these shrimps from the bottom of his heart.
It was normal. Ever since the great war started with the rise of Chief Titus, they had been unstoppable. Those shrimps had caused them some troubles, but they were only troublesome. Some places were indeed not easy to fight and required some effort, but those shrimps never dared to take the initiative to attack and only dared to defend themselves by various means.
All the human armies he encountered along the way were of this character. How could he ever look highly upon the fighting power of these shrimps?
He didn't take the initiative to attack and cause trouble for those shrimps to prove that he was much stronger than that waste One-Tooth Ghost. That was because he had to obey the orders of Chief Titus. How dare those shrimps take the initiative to attack?
Even if Xiami really came, he was not afraid. The dozen ships left in Temir were not very useful, but there were more than five billion greenskins on Planets 4 and 5. A small number of them were grown locally, and most of them were transported from the greenskin nest after he returned. Among them, one billion were real orcs!
This is definitely a powerful force! Apart from the troops sent to Chief Titus, this is the largest gathering place for orcs.
How easy is it for humans to conquer the Temir galaxy?
It’s difficult even with orbital support!
As long as you hold on for a while and reunite the scattered fleet, you will be here soon.
However, when he arrived here, he only saw a dead Temir 2.
The surface is still hot and scalding. In some places it has turned gray and black; in some other places, the ground is still red.
The residual heat of the planet has not yet dissipated.
What's this?
It was beyond Salu's imagination that anything could cause such destruction.
He had never heard of or seen it in his life.
But he knew that something was seriously wrong.
On Temir 2, there were 2.5 billion greenskins, including 500 million orcs, which was his biggest capital. A fire burned down the planet and everything on it, which not only wasted all the previous investment, but also dealt a severe blow to the power of the Iron Tooth Empire.
Even if he went to the four occupied star zones to recruit now, he wouldn't be able to recruit so many greenskins.
Especially since it is impossible to recruit so many orc boys.
The total number of greenskins in the Irontooth Orc Empire, counting only orcs and goblins, may be 200 billion; among them, 170 billion have already rushed out of the four major star regions with this grand waaagh.
Of course, it was impossible for all these orcs to be on board. Even if all the ships of the Irontooth Orcs were put together, they would not be able to deliver this much, no matter how crowded or extreme the ships were.
Such a huge number was actually transported out from the four major star regions in waves as the greenskin army advanced, and dropped onto various planets they encountered along the way.
On the one hand, there are wars to fight, and on the other hand, there is also the opportunity to expand.
This is why the green-skinned orcs were able to spread the flames of war to most of the star field so quickly. There were hundreds of worlds that were invaded by them, with tens of millions thrown into the world at the least, and hundreds of millions or even millions thrown into some worlds.
As long as these green-skinned creatures are not completely wiped out on a planet, their blood and limbs will become carriers of new spores, taking root and sprouting in the soil, forming a green-skinned ecosystem, and continuously producing more greenskins.
They don't need to kill all the humans on a planet right away, because that would slow down the Irontooth Tribe's expansion. They only need to leave a group of ground troops that can survive, just like infecting a planet with a tough fungus. In the battle, the orcs will become stronger and stronger, and there will be more and more of them, until they occupy the entire world.
However, such a radical expansion strategy also left the hometown empty.
Saroo had nowhere to deploy his troops.
Under such circumstances, the nearly 2 billion greenskins on Temir 5, especially the nearly 400 million orc boys, cannot be lost.
Otherwise, after Temir lost a total of 5 billion, the number of greenskins in each world in the entire Golden Pass Star Region would only be around 100 million. It was not until entering the Silver Pass Star Region that the average number of greenskins in each world could be guaranteed to be 700 to 800 million.
So how do we resist the attacks of these shrimps?
They may not have enough strength to break into the Silver Pass, but the Golden Pass star zone will definitely be in danger.
Then your head will definitely not be safe.
Chief Titus will not allow such a failure. He needs his iron-toothed boys to thrive in Jinguan. He hopes that Jinguan can also produce a lot of weapons and equipment to meet the needs of this grand waaagh and support his desire for expansion.
From this perspective, Saroo feels that Temir cannot be lost.
Number 2 is gone, and we can ignore the rotten land of number 4 for now, but number 5 must be saved.
But Salu, who had already been hit hard on the head, did not dare to be too reckless.
He wanted to fight a decisive battle with the human fleet. If he won, everything would be fine. He could bomb Temir 5 in orbit, or call up troops from the rear. It was not realistic to deploy hundreds of millions, but it was possible to drop tens of millions, batch by batch.
However, Xiami's fleet did not give him this opportunity.
He didn't hold back and just circled around with him in the vast sea of stars in Temir, but he definitely didn't fight.
But if he showed an attitude of supporting the surface of Planet 5, the human fleet would appear again and watch quietly from a distance. As long as the green ships aimed their firepower at the surface, these shrimp fleets would also open fire and attack the ships.
He tried several times, even trying to lure the human fleet into attacking by offering orbital support to Temir 5, but these plans ultimately failed, and several ships were destroyed.
All he could do was provide a very small amount of orbital firepower, which was almost negligible compared to the size of the entire planet;
He could also barely send some detachments to the rear to transport some greenskins and drop them on the surface, but they had to be careful. During the transportation process, they might be hunted by the shrimp fleet; during the drop, they might also be blocked by the human fleet.
But what to do?
This is the only way.
He was full of anticipation when the commander-in-chief, who had risen from among his personal guards, gathered his troops and launched a massive offensive.
Win the battle. If you win, you will have the upper hand on the ground, be able to keep and even develop more land, and kill all those shrimps!
Then, they can pin their attacks on Temir and keep Xiami's army out of Jinguan, and he can be considered to have completed the mission of the great chief.
But all he saw was a failure.
The situation on the ground suddenly deteriorated.
Although only two million troops were lost, it seemed nothing compared to the total number of more than one billion on the ground.
But in fact, the impact is very great. The death of the leader who supervised the entire planet's ground forces will have a very chaotic impact on the more than one billion orcs on the ground. Even if Saru immediately sent people to take over and reorganize the command system, it would take at least several months. During this period of time, those shrimps, who knows how many capable guys they can kill.
At the same time, among these two million troops, there are also a large number of elite units, and the loss of these things is even more unacceptable. Half of the high-level units on the entire No. 5 star were destroyed.
The combat effectiveness of the remaining troops will be greatly reduced.
It’s no wonder that Saroo was angry and confused.
He even considered going down to the surface himself.
But he still suppressed the thought.
At the same time, he also knew that what was happening in the Jinguan Star Region could no longer be concealed.
He needs to inform the chief about this matter.
Even though he would be scolded or even executed, he had to do it.
Through the power of the prophet, he made contact with the distant great chief.
After listening to the situation report, Titus did not get angry, but his voice became very cold.
This actually frightened Saru.
"I will dispatch a hundred ships back, and I will also pick up the guys scattered on various worlds along the way. You will get a fully loaded army."
"Guard Jinguan for me. This is your last chance, Saru. If you fail again, you know the consequences."
Saroo breathed a sigh of relief.
"I will definitely complete the task! I won't fail again!"
With these one hundred ships and the estimated hundreds of millions of orcs that can be brought back, not counting the small ones, the power at hand will become much more sufficient.
The hundreds of millions of mobile troops are one aspect, but the most important thing is the one hundred warships.
With this capital, he could use the forces at hand to encircle the human fleet in the Temir galaxy, and then free up the hundreds of warships to support the surface.
The battle will become much easier.
He knew that this was truly his last chance.
He couldn't even allow himself to fail.
Of course, before the reinforcements arrived, he still had to do his best to clean up the situation on the surface and prevent any more accidents from happening.
…
Gu Hang also obtained information about the Temir galaxy.
It was he who authorized Du Shiliang to issue the extermination order for Planet No. 2.
As regrettable and cold as it is, it is necessary.
He also knew about the battle on Temir 5.
After the two million greenskins were killed, Perbov took advantage of the situation to pursue them. Not only his own troops were dispatched, but almost all of the Alliance Army on Planet 5 was dispatched, launching a wave of offensive climaxes on the global battlefield. In a very short period of time, taking advantage of the enemy's poor command and disunity, they killed at least 200 million greenskins.
Although most of them were fart spirits, the subsequent destruction of the greenskin ecosystem and garbage city were a major blow to the greenskin forces on the planet.
But it is still far from victory.
Gu Hang has approved a new batch of reinforcements.
Twenty million soldiers from the Dragon Eagle 3rd Legion will rush to Temir 5 to participate in the war.
But delivery is a problem.
He also learned that the greenskins showed no signs of abandoning Temir 5 and were still continuously sending in reinforcements.
This planet shows signs of turning into a long-term battlefield.
Gu Hang had no objection to this.
Just fight.
As long as we can firmly attract part of the greenskins' forces, or even better, force the greenskins to send troops from the main battlefield to support us, that would be great.
As a loyal minister, he is doing his best to fulfill his duties.
Of course, relying solely on the tens of millions of elite humans currently on Temir 5 is not enough to sustain the losses of this long-term war.
The meat grinder is long-term and requires more troops to fill the line.
Gu Hang plans to send Temir No. 5 to take out this part of the troops.
The orc fleet still exists, and it is inconvenient to deploy troops. Gu Hang is unwilling to bear some losses. However, it is easier to deploy a large number of weapons and equipment and arm the local population as much as possible.
He has already ordered the dispatch of officials directly under the Union Military and Political Department to Temir 5. There are still 80 to 90 billion people on this planet, and the mobilization ratio must be increased. Now there are only 400 to 500 million "Allied Forces", which is really outrageous.
Faced with the crisis of genocide, the mobilization rate of the Temir people must be raised to 10% or even higher!
