Chapter 467, I’ve had enough!
The war has begun.
In other words, the war never ended.
"Report to the commander! The astronomical observation agency has found the enemy's traces! They have appeared!
"They are on standby outside Temir-5, and their status is similar to before. Once we start to provide large-scale fire support to the ground, they should rush over immediately and attack our rear."
"Please give me instructions, Commander!"
“Perform as planned.”
"yes!"
After watching the adjutant go down, Ye Lisia stood on the bridge and stared at the void in front of her.
She was now on the Quintet, which had replaced the Opera as the flagship of the Combined Fleet.
For the past two years, she has been on the front lines of the battlefields of Telmir, fighting the Greenskins.
But although it was called a battle, it was not actually fierce.
She also knew part of Gu Hang's plan. The decisive battle had not yet arrived, so there was no need for her to fight the greenskin fleet. Although according to her own thinking, with the forces at hand, if they really wanted to fight, they actually had a 70% chance of winning.
but……
no need.
A 70% winning rate is not enough.
Moreover, victory alone would not be enough? According to Gu Hang's idea, what they wanted was a big victory with a small enough cost. Not only did they have to destroy the main fleet of the greenskins, but they also had to avoid any losses.
To achieve this goal, the power Ye Lishia has at hand is not enough.
The greenskin fleet had even less idea.
They were much worse in terms of strength, and naval battles were not like land battles. Warships were also very valuable to the greenskins. Even with the greenskins' character, they would not go up to fight recklessly.
The common bottom line for both sides is that neither side is allowed to launch large-scale orbital firepower onto Temir-5.
The battle on the ground is equally important. Orcs have been gradually deployed and born from the local ecosystem, with a total force of 4 billion, of which more than 1 billion are real green-skinned orcs;
The total number of Allied Army troops fighting here is close to 100 million; and, by arming local forces, the Alliance has been investing a considerable amount of money in Temir 5. The total number of Allied forces here has exceeded 1.5 billion - compared to their total population, this is already a very high mobilization ratio, reaching a total mobilization level of 20%.
There are only 80 to 90 billion people on their planet, a considerable part of the population has been evacuated, and a considerable part of the manpower has been consumed in the wars in the past few years. Now the total force of 1.5 billion can be maintained, which has reached the limit of this planet.
But this scale alone is definitely not enough. The Alliance also recruited more than 800 million troops from other planets and deployed them to Temir 5.
Currently, there are 2.4 billion human soldiers fighting, and there are more than 6 billion civilians in the rear.
At this scale, no one can withstand large-scale orbital bombardment and the losses will be very heavy.
Due to various factors, the fleets of both sides were actually very cautious and no large-scale battle broke out. The two sides still fought wits and courage around two things.
The first is to strangle the enemy's troops sent to provide reinforcements to the ground of Temir 5. They can go around the jump point to ambush, or even invade the enemy's rear area from the jump point and rob the transport ship.
Losing a transport ship is very painful. The value of the ship itself is not important, but the most important thing is that all the people and supplies on the ship will be lost.
Later, both sides began to increase their strength to protect their own transport ships. No single ship would go on the road. When a large wave of ships gathered, they would almost go out in full force, accompanied by the main fleet for protection. Without the idea of fighting a decisive battle, the other side would basically give up on this big one.
The second is to secretly bombard the surface, hit one and run away to avoid being caught by the enemy.
The human fleet had the upper hand in this regard. The combined fleet was larger than the greenskins, which meant they were able to send enough ships to confront the greenskins while also being able to spare a few ships to bomb the ground.
When the greenskins get angry, they will show that they are ready to fight to the death. Often at this time, the human side will retreat and stop bombing; but they will not retreat far. Once the greenskins show that they also want to fire a few shots at the ground, the combined fleet will rush up and say, "If you dare to bomb, we will fight a decisive battle."
At this time, the greenskins also have to retreat.
The main focus of both sides is entanglement and pulling.
In this case, there is a high possibility of accidental firing. Every conflict actually risks turning into a fleet battle, with everyone fighting to the death.
In fact, this kind of thing has happened several times, but it was restrained in the end.
It is foreseeable that if this situation continues for a long time, sooner or later something really big will happen.
But fortunately, this has never happened.
But this time, it's different.
Ye Lishia showed an attitude of going all out to launch an orbital bombardment on the ground. Previously, the greenskin fleet that had been somewhere unknown in the galaxy had indeed arrived.
It seemed like this had been a daily routine for the past two years, and every time it seemed like a dangerous cheek-to-cheek duet.
But often, both sides will retreat tacitly at the last and most dangerous moment.
The greenskins haven't realized yet that this time is different.
As usual, they put on a desperate look, but this time, the human fleet had no intention of retreating. There were still more than a dozen ships carrying out orbital bombardment.
Saru on the greenskin flagship was now in a dilemma.
Why don't you play by the rules?
Hasn’t everyone been cooperating well in acting over the past two years?
Why did it change suddenly?
So what should I do?
Before Saru could think clearly, news of the captains of various ships requesting to fight floated to his flagship like snowflakes.
The specific words are different, but what is the same is that they contain a lot of vulgar language and waaagh, and the meaning expressed is the same: kill these shrimp ships!
In fact, the greenskins have accumulated too much anger in the past two years of repeated tug-of-war. Not to mention others, Saru is the same.
However, as the leader, Saroo had to ensure that his basic sanity did not drop, and he suppressed the warlike nature in the orcs' blood.
But it has come to this point and it can no longer be suppressed.
What's more, even from a rational point of view, is continuing with appeasement a good choice?
Can he lead the fleet and sit back and watch the four billion greenskins on the Temir 5 being completely exposed to the shrimp's naval guns?
cannot.
Then don't hesitate.
The fierceness in Saroo's eyes gradually intensified. He picked up the intercom and shouted at the
"They are immoral! Boys! Follow me! Kill them all!"
"waaagh!!!"
Soon after, the communicator transmitted information, and there were sounds of ghosts howling and waaagh sounds everywhere. The greenskins no longer had to suppress the fire of war in their hearts, and the entire fleet began to swarm forward and attack the human fleet with all their might.
This scene made Saroo feel proud.
Fuck it!
I've had enough!
However, during the charge of the greenskin fleet, the first shell fired from the human fleet instantly cooled the anger in Saru's heart.
Instead, a doubt arose:
That shot hit nothing and passed through the air, but its brilliance and the tremendous power it displayed in the field of vision made Saroo recall:
Could Xiami’s biggest ship before have fired this kind of cannon?
The power of this shot is even comparable to the main gun of Chief Titus's flagship, right?
Am I facing... the same opponent as before?
Insidious shrimp!!

Short ones are cute too... ahem, the main thing is that I have an important meeting tomorrow morning and can’t stay up until four or five.
I will try to update more tomorrow night to make up for what I missed today.
