Chapter 207, fire five rounds at full force on the ground!
The accident was a little unexpected.
Not only did Lacrosha have to treat the melta bomb like a grenade and throw it over a distance of a hundred meters, he also had to be accurate enough and complete the task while being chased by a dozen plague flies.
He was really busy while doing this series of things.
He has done his best in taking over the task. It is definitely not that he is in a hurry, but rather that every step is accurately calculated and executed with impeccable ability.
But he couldn't solve all the problems to absolute perfection.
He threw the melta bomb very accurately, but the activation time of the melta bomb was a little early, so that the bomb was detonated before it hit the shield generator.
But it's not a big problem.
The melta bomb that exploded one meter above the shield generator, which was about two and a half meters high, produced a large amount of red high-temperature material that splashed and flowed, contaminating the shield generator.
This triggered a further reaction, the shield generator's outer shell was dissolved, and the energy inside went out of control.
After a crackling sound of blue arcs flashing, there was a bang and the shield generator exploded.
From the perspective of the Alliance's Falcon speedboats outside, the azure shield covering the entire offshore building flashed a few times and then disappeared.
Immediately afterwards, the Wind Falcons fired a few rounds of machine gun fire tentatively, and they actually penetrated smoothly!
Was the ground forces' mission successful?
They immediately passed the relevant information to the commanders below.
Martins, who was fighting a fierce battle with the Great Demon, and Lacrosha, who was using a bolter and a tactical knife to deal with the swarm of plague flies surrounding him, both heard the news.
They were all extremely excited!
They did not forget that their original mission was to destroy the shield generator.
Now, they have completed their mission.
As for the unexpected big demon and the abyss rift...
It seems there is another solution.
Anyway, it seems that this big unclean being can't be killed unless the demon engine behind him is killed; but even with him around, the demon engine can't do anything.
Then don't do it.
"Retreat, retreat, retreat!" As the supreme commander, Martins gave a decisive order.
The crowd fought and retreated.
With Martins as the rear guard, they resisted the pursuit of the Great Unclean One; a group of elite special forces, plus two Phoenix veterans, retreated while firing, killing demons, attacking the Great Unclean One, and providing some cover for Martins.
Previously, the Great Unclean One had no way to deal with them, and now that he was in pursuit, he had even less way to deal with them.
This space is large, with a height of six meters and large areas of empty space. The few equipment and building structures were all destroyed in the previous battle.
However, despite this, for a "fat" guy who is six meters tall and more than six meters wide and thick, this place is still too narrow and not convenient for Gewajia to move around.
The greatly unclean ones who were severely restricted gradually couldn't catch up.
He could only roar in impotence and rage.
It’s so frustrating!
When have I, a great demon, ever been fooled like this?
Even in the most miserable time, when half of his head and an arm were chopped off, plus countless injuries, that was the loss in an upright battle! The enemies fighting against him at the same time were strong and numerous, but in the end he killed them all. Although he rested for a few years afterwards, at least that battle was fought to his heart's content!
But today, it’s all so frustrating!
I feel so frustrated because I don't have enough strength!
Those enemies are so slippery and relentless, it’s so frustrating!
He just had to stare at the shield generator and the demon engine, which he couldn't take care of at the same time. How frustrating!
What's worse is that he realized something was wrong.
Judging from the remaining memories of the body he occupied before, there is a starship stationed in the sky above this world.
Gowaga fully understood what it meant to have a starship in orbit.
Now, he has no anti-orbital equipment at all, only a shield generator, which is still useful thanks to the infinite energy of the spiritual gas field.
Now, the shield generator is gone.
What to do?
Although the Demon Engine and the Abyss rift are still there, the power of the Chaos Abyss is still constantly eroding the real world, transforming the surrounding area into an environment more suitable for the existence of demons, and continuously summoning more demons to come here.
It won't be long before he can gather a demon army with this place as the core, and his own strength will continue to increase and eventually reach its peak.
According to the memory of this body, as long as he reaches that step, conquering the entire planet and presenting another gift to his loving father will be a piece of cake and within his reach.
But...what if an orbital strike falls later?
Nothing has been built yet.
If the devil engine behind him explodes, all will be over.
He would be driven back into the Chaos Abyss because the source of the Chaos Abyss Law was cut off. The little time in between was not enough for him to rebuild a demon engine and continue to transform the energy of the spiritual gas field.
Looking at the group of human insects fleeing into the narrow passage, when he had no way to chase them anymore, his huge body, carrying many plague demons that had just crawled out of the cracks in the abyss and had no idea what kind of results they were about to face. They were all cheering for coming to the real world, and they were at a loss as to what to do in this space.
…
Martins and others' operation of escaping from this offshore platform was quite smooth.
Before this, the elite special forces who had been circulating outside had done a good job of guarding the smooth flow of the entire retreat route from the entrance of the central tower to the landing site.
There should indeed be quite a few deformed monsters and cultists of the Natural Salvation Society inside these superstructures outside, and they have indeed tried to attack the special warfare elites guarding the passage.
At the beginning, the soldiers of the special warfare brigade had a hard time fighting. Although they were all T3 or even T2 elites, and had the most sophisticated individual equipment in the Alliance except for the Space Marines, they were few in number after all, and they had to divide their forces to guard the landing site and the entire passage. Facing attacks from various monsters and cultists that far outnumbered them, it was still a tough fight.
Casualties, running around to support firefighting, and the occasional shift of positions at various defense nodes...
But in the end, they managed to hold on after paying a heavy price in casualties.
The hard days finally came to an end when the energy shield in the air dissipated.
A large number of Fengshen fighter planes suddenly lowered their altitude and began to bombard various places on the ground with machine guns and airborne missiles.
The enemy's limited anti-aircraft firepower, those biochemical anti-aircraft guns, rumbled into the sky, but the effect was minimal. The Feng Falcon's protection was slightly stronger than that of an armored vehicle, and it would not be easily shot down; what's more, after the energy shield was destroyed, they could maintain a higher flight altitude and provide support to the ground.
The higher you fly, the less likely you are to be hit by anti-aircraft fire.
In this case, the pressure faced by the human defenders outside was greatly alleviated.
Then, the friendly troops that had gone down earlier also came up.
At Martins' call, everyone evacuated quickly and assembled at the landing site.
He personally led the team to attack and destroy several enemy anti-aircraft fire points and established a defense line around the landing site.
Immediately afterwards, after the landing site was relatively safe, the Feng Falcons dropped from the sky in batches of three, with each Feng Falcon carrying ten people and then retreating.
This cycle continued until Martins and four other Space Marines were the last to evacuate.
When the last batch of Wind Falcons took off and left the offshore platform, Martins sent the information that orbital strikes could be carried out to the sky.
It is very difficult to communicate with Fuxing City, which is about 5,000 to 6,000 kilometers away. The Alliance has not yet built communication equipment all the way, nor has it launched a communication satellite.
But isn’t there a starship in the sky?
As long as the starship is in the correct position and not on the other side of the planet, communication will be possible.
Before leaving, Gu Hang had already explained to Martins and the Claw Tiger in the sky that Martins had full authority to apply for orbital strikes, and his application was just like his own.
This is a huge authorization.
On the Claw Tiger, Captain Major Du Zhicheng and Brigadier General Ye Lixia both received information about the orbital strike.
Since Gu Hang had previously given the corresponding authorization, the two commanders of the Imperial Navy followed the normal procedures.
It's not that they will execute an orbital strike just because the planetary governor requests it. They are the Imperial Navy, not the Wrathful Star Navy. After the relevant application comes in, they will also have to evaluate it a little.
The main assessment is to look at the value of the target.
If the target is particularly weak, or is not an enemy of the empire, then you have to be more cautious.
And today, after receiving the strike request from Captain Martins, they were also evaluating it.
It’s not about whether the value of the target is enough to assess the attack. A Great Unclean One and an Abyss Rift that is about to open are enough.
What they want to evaluate is...
"Is this true?" Major Du was dumbfounded when he saw the text message on the application report that clearly stated these things.
He was not young anymore, having graduated with honors from the Naval Academy. He had served on the starship for many years, working diligently and gaining experience. With the help of the Fofana family, he was finally promoted to the position of captain at the age of 55 with the rank of major.
But in his thirty years of military career, he mainly fought pirates. The biggest scene he had experienced was when he was not yet a captain and followed the main force of the Pegasus fleet to fight a wave of greenskins. At that time, he was just an administrator of the engine system. During the battle, he only had to follow orders and do his work. He rarely even went into the bridge command room and didn't see much at all.
When he heard the name of the big devil this time, he felt really confused.
Major Du turned his head and looked at Ye Lixia: "Madam Brigadier General, has life in the orbit of the Angry Owl Star always been so exciting?"
“Yes…” Ye Lixia could only smile bitterly.
A few months ago, it was fine to carry out orbital strikes on the proliferating greenskin tribes on the ground, but later, I was inexplicably fooled by Gu Hang and dragged into a one-on-many interstellar naval battle, which was exciting enough.
She thought it would end there.
But the great demon...
To be honest, Gu Hang brought new meaning to me.
She hadn't expected to face such an opponent, but at the same time she realized how big a deal this was.
Let's not talk about why there are so many things on the Wrath of the Owl, but this is not particularly strange. The proliferation of green skins is due to the research in the pre-war era, because the samples leaked out due to the destruction of the world; the demon gap is also normal, because the Wrath of the Owl was originally a planet that was destroyed and rebuilt because of the demon wave.
But what she cared more about was that it seemed to symbolize merit.
The appearance of a great demon means that a great disaster is about to come. The current Angry Owl Star is no longer the rich place it once was, with enough financial resources to support a large planetary defense force. Once the demons become powerful, under the leadership of a great unclean being, they will form a devastating blow to the entire planet.
Ye Lixia admitted that Gu Hang had a way of doing things. In just half a year, he had transformed a wasteland world into what it is today. The army he had was also very good, not even worse than some Star Army corps.
But despite this, quantity is always a problem.
With an army of only a few hundred thousand, it is impossible to withstand the ravages of the demon wave and hold out until the support of the empire arrives.
And if the demons really succeeded in occupying the entire planet and transformed it into a demon world, completely dragging it into the abyss of chaos, then things would be serious.
It is no longer a question of whether or not the Angry Owl Star can be preserved, but that this demonic wave is likely to spread to other galaxies.
After corroding an entire world, the number of demons will be extremely huge; they also have the ability to drag out an entire Chaos fleet from the Chaos Abyss. By then, the entire star region may face war!
Although Gu Hang was finished, Ye Lixia was also likely to have a stain on her body.
The family is still trying to use the profits from the last war to build her reputation and create a new star in the military, so she can't afford to make any mistakes at this moment.
But on the other hand, killing a big demon here and preventing the formation of an abyss rift is also a great achievement.
Although, taking a starship to carry out orbital strikes on the ground is not entirely the work of the navy, and it is not as solid as the merits brought by a hearty naval battle. But overall, it is definitely better than staying idle in the orbit of the planet.
With this in mind, Ye Lixia decisively ordered: "Attack! Attack hard! In the next twenty minutes, at least five rounds of full-force fire must be carried out on the ground! We must stop the demonic forces from raising their heads again on the Wrathful Owl Star!"
"yes!"
Major Du had no objection at all.
