Chapter 462: It’s time to supervise
Two years passed in a flash.
It was originally thought that after the Fury Corps launched an almost all-out attack, the war situation in the Dragon Eagle Star Region would be completely reversed.
Even if the threat from the Irontooth Clan cannot be quickly quelled, at least the human army should, under the leadership of the Space Marines, launch a full-scale counterattack.
But that is not the case.
The situation has certainly changed. From being overwhelmingly defeated by the greenskins in the past, we are now able to hold on.
However, the strength of the Irontooth Clan still exceeded many people's imagination. When the Fury of Flame first arrived, they took the lead and launched several beautiful offensives, which frustrated the greenskins. However, if they did not kill Titus, it could not be considered a great success.
Hundreds of worlds in the entire star field were plunged into a two-year-long war. The battle line was very long, and the Space Marines, the Mingyang Sect that had recovered from the shock, and the star field government that was constantly recruiting new soldiers... Everyone was doing their best to deal with this war, but the stalemate of the war never changed.
Their greatest achievement was driving the greenskins out of the Steel Fire Dragon Star area and winning the battle of Jindi Star.
However, rather than saying it was a victory, it would be more accurate to say that the greenskin chieftain realized that under the current circumstances, it was not cost-effective to continue the focused offensive, so he took the initiative to withdraw.
The human army, pursuing the victory, recovered many worlds along the way and was in high spirits, but suffered a great loss on Eagle Star in the Snow Eagle Star Region. Even the Fury of Flame directly lost an entire company.
Screaming Eagle became a focal battlefield again, but this time, it was the humans who took the lead. The green-skinned orcs on Screaming Eagle had already equipped themselves with a large number of anti-orbital guns, and were not afraid of being besieged by the fleet; the green-skinned battle moons also retreated to Screaming Eagle early on.
Whether it is space warfare or deploying ground troops, the battle for Eagle Star has become extremely difficult.
On other fronts, from the Dragonbiter star zone to the Thunder Dragon, to the Snow Eagle, and then to the Cursed Bone star zone, spanning four star zones, the orcs stopped retreating, began to hold their ground and try to counterattack.
Even if the human army has the Space Marines as its backbone, it cannot push forward this front.
Casimir Erso, the Chapter Master of the Fury, had a bad temper for a long time.
In his long career, he and his warband had fought against greenskins before, but he had to admit that the Irontooth Clan was the most powerful orc clan he had ever seen in his life.
He never admitted that he was careless. When he decided to accept the call for help from the Dragon Eagle Star Region and come here to fight, he had already made all the preparations and brought an entire battle group with him.
Although this was not the full strength of the Fury Corps, under normal circumstances, they would not be able to deploy more than a thousand troops in one battlefield. That was too unreasonable.
This is not in the Princess Star Region. It is not their lair where they and the Iron Armored Corps can cover the sky with one hand. They should act low-key.
But as it stands now, the effort he puts in is still not enough.
After two years of fighting, the Fury Regiment has lost more than three hundred brothers' lives here.
For an average regiment, a 30% casualty loss in just one battle is considered a heavy loss. Even if they win the battle immediately, it will take a long time for an average regiment to make up for the 30% loss.
What's more, with the Empire now in a state of leaks everywhere, the Space Marines, as an important mobile force, can be regarded as the most important tinkers of the Empire. How can an ordinary regiment have the time to rest for a long time, replenish personnel, and get equipment, and then meet the next challenge in full condition?
Normally, they would not finish the last battle before new requests for help and new orders from the Empire would come like snowflakes. At the very least, they would have to send out half a company, or even multiple companies, with different ships, to different battlefields; at most, the entire regiment would not have a chance to rest, and would either be divided into multiple companies to deal with multiple battlefields, or the entire army would have to attack.
The Fury of Flame would not be in such a miserable state. If Erso wanted, he could immediately dispatch more than 300 people to make up for the loss of the regiment.
Following the Iron Armored Regiment, they were also a super-reborn regiment. Although not as large as the Iron Armored Regiment, their number of people was already more than the 1,000 stipulated by the Empire. It was only the Empire's regulations that restricted them from sending too many troops at once.
Now here comes the awkward problem.
Erso wanted to end the war as soon as possible, and he didn't want the main force of the regiment to be dragged here for too long.
It’s been two years!
They are responsible for expanding the influence of the combined three major legions of Iron Armor, Fury of Fury and Stone Shield in the Eastern Universe. The core method is to gain huge reputation through one war after another, and then use the special political identity of Space Marines to make this region their supporters.
However, they stayed in the Dragonhawk Star Region for too long.
Although, because war is difficult, the reputation of those who stay after winning will definitely be greater, and it will also be more convenient for them to turn the entire star field into a vassal later. But they cannot really exhaust their strength or spend too much time, otherwise it will not be worth the loss.
Erso was eager to end the war.
On the one hand, he has relied on his reputation to directly dispatch more fleets and defense forces from other star fields, and even from the headquarters of the three regiments, that is, the Princess Star Field under the Spider Web Field in the north of the Eastern Field. He will also transfer two hundred "new recruits" to make up for the losses of the regiment.
But on the other hand, he himself was not sure whether just such an additional move would be enough to destroy the Iron Tooth Clan.
Therefore, opening up a second battlefield and making enough breakthroughs in another place to bring about major changes in the front battlefield, which has been deadlocked for two years and is like a meat grinder, has become an option worthy of serious consideration.
And in the Dragon Eagle star field, there is naturally a suitable battlefield - the Qimadi in the eastern part of the star field.
If a breakthrough can be achieved in the current Battle of Temir, the human army can attack the greenskins' lair from the east, without having to worry about Titus not returning to defend.
At the very least, it can greatly undermine the Iron Tooth Clan's war potential.
In the past, Erso believed that the so-called Alliance, as well as the remnants of the Phoenix mixed with the Alliance, were simply too weak to be defeated.
But in the past two years, as he learned about the alliance's past history and recently mentioned that the number of phoenixes had even recovered to more than 500, he realized that he was wrong before.
They definitely have the strength to break through the greenskins' eastern defense line.
They just weren't serious enough.
It seems that it is time to supervise it.
