Chapter 170 Legendary Pirates
Due to the huge differences in language and culture, it is actually difficult for humans to interpret what green skins call themselves, so it is actually very rare for green skins to leave their names on the imperial alien list of.
And this means that all those who can leave their names are all characters who have caused serious threats and harm to the empire and are very difficult to deal with.
Nazdreg Ebony Ud'Grubb is a greenskin warlord who can leave his name on the Alien Tribunal and the Death Watch list.
In the early stages of his activities, little was known about Nazdraig, with only sporadic information indicating that he was a member of the extremely wealthy Bad Moon Tribe.
As time went by, he gradually became well-known as a green-skinned pirate who posed a great threat to imperial shipping. What really made him famous was that he transformed the wreckage of an Apocalypse-class battleship into his own flagship and attacked Gothic. A forge world in the Special Sector robbed a large amount of supplies, ambushed a fleet in the Gothic Sector, and sank more than a dozen battleships.
Afterwards, the Death Watch pursued him several times, but he cunningly escaped every time. He even ambushed the Death Watch's killing team on a planet, causing serious casualties.
In the following days, as Nazdregg's activities became more and more frequent, his fleet also gradually grew, becoming a serious threat to the Imperial Navy.
According to According to the report of the Inquisition, this pirate warlord appears to be much smarter than most known greenskins. He can also speak fluent Gothic and even knows how to use the "carrot and stick" reward and punishment system to urge the unfortunate ones. Slaves worked for him.
He is also one of the few greenskin warlords who uses human slaves.
Putting aside the alien's own abilities, just the huge pirate fleet under his command would be a huge disaster for a star region.
Once the opponent intervenes in the battle in the Fulun Galaxy, it will be difficult to say whether the battle will be successful or not.
The tactics room fell into silence.
A few minutes later, Soshyan took the lead to break the deadlock.
"Arrival time?"
"Insufficient information, but Nazdraig last appeared in the Armageddon sector. If we follow the normal subspace navigation speed, we can reach the edge of the galaxy in about one standard month."
"One month? ..."
Soshiyang crossed his chest with his left hand and held his chin with his right hand, thinking for a moment and then said.
"Time is indeed too tight, and the greenskins on Fulen will definitely fight to the death if they know there are reinforcements. I'm afraid it will be difficult to fight on the ground."
Mazhar nodded.
"I considered landing and beheading, but -"
He then shook his head.
“We are still unable to determine the specific location of the green-skinned warlord. It knows what methods we will use and hides itself very well. All communication uses wired equipment and even oral transmission.”
“A prisoner?”
The green skins are not incommunicable. In fact, the green skins with higher status still have enough thinking ability. There are also scholars who are proficient in Ork language in the expedition fleet. Sosh Young's proposal isn't outrageous.
"I've thought about it, and I've caught it, but I don't even know the location of those things' heads."
"What a cunning beast."
Once you can't get the green one in a short time, If Boss Pi is defeated, then the battle situation will evolve into an embarrassing situation under a fortified city. Once external forces intervene, it may be caught in an internal and external attack.
"Lord Magyar, what's your opinion?"
Soshiyang couldn't think of any good solution for a while and could only look at the initiator of this battle.
"My approach is for all fleets to join the orbital bombing sequence, destroy as much surface facilities on this planet as possible, and then the fleets evacuate from the galaxy as quickly as possible to avoid attracting more trouble."
As he spoke, the hologram The image shows a comparison of the sizes of the main star Ferron and several of its moons.
Because they are artificial satellites, these stars are not large.
Soshyan then expressed his opinion.
“It is feasible, but it does not guarantee complete destruction of the enemy.”
"Yes, but this is the fastest and most direct way. At least the greenskins here won't be able to cause trouble for a long time."
"Not necessarily."
Soshi Yang Shake his head.
“The technology of the green skins here has evolved to the level of subspace navigation, and there are still some remnants of their fleets in the galaxy. If they cannot be eradicated, I think it will not take long for them to recover, and they will Because this attack has become even more crazy." Mazhar frowned, knowing that Soshyan was telling the truth.
But this was the only way he could think of.
“I have an idea.”
Soshiyan’s finger clicked on the imager, and then the holographic image zoomed in to the entire galaxy.
He then drew several circles around the edge of the galaxy.
“My lord, I’d like to ask this offensively, if you were the green-skinned pirate warlord, where would you choose to intervene in the war?”
Lord Magyar stared at the image for a while, and then whispered:
"If I were a greedy and cunning guy, then I would definitely choose the outer reaches of the few remaining galaxies where the green-skinned forces of the Flon Star are still alive. The stronghold is used as an intervention point, which is safe and can capture the materials and troops in the opponent's stronghold, making a sure profit."
He paused for a while and pointed to an asteroid belt on the edge of the galaxy. .
“Gantlu 3, this is a stable space jump point, and there is an asteroid belt around it as a shield. It is very safe. I will definitely choose this place, and then annex nearby strongholds and sit back and watch the battle. The development of the situation... If humans are unable to attack for a long time, then they will launch a large-scale raid on the human fleet from behind and relieve the siege of Fulun Planet in one fell swoop. If humans are on guard, then they will send out small fleets to continuously harass the rear of the human fleet. , attack the occupied planets and supply stations, let the human fleets continue to disperse during the defensive escort, and then wait for opportunities to seek the main force for a decisive battle. "
Soshiyang clapped his hands gently.
"I'm so lucky, Lord Magyar, you are not a greenskin, otherwise I might have to retreat in this battle."
"Hahaha! This compliment sounds strange enough, Soshiyan Chapter "Long."
After letting the heavy atmosphere ease a little, Soshiyang stopped smiling.
“My opinion is to maintain a minimum blockade of the Fulun planet, and then the main force of the entire army will be gathered in the Gantru No. 3 area to ambush Nazdrege’s fleet and severely damage the opponent, or perhaps in one fell swoop Destroy! At that time, the green skins on Fulun will be indistinguishable from corpses."
The tactics room fell into silence again.
Lord Magyar placed his hands on the metal edge of the imaging device, staring intently at the three-dimensional image emitting light green fluorescence, wondering what prophecies he could see from it.
Soshiyang noticed that the corners of the other party's eyes even twitched.
“This——”
Ten minutes later, Lord Magyar said in a hoarse voice:
“——It’s a big gamble, Soshyan.”
"Yes."
"Not to mention whether we can ambush Nazdregg's main fleet, with the power we currently have, can we defeat the enemy head-on?"
In fact, The strength of this expedition fleet is not weak. There are several detachments, as well as the battle group fleet of the Ascetic, and there are nearly fifty large battleships of cruiser level and above, including the battleship level super battleship Eternal Night. Large battleship.
But most of them are actually multi-functional cruisers like the Moon-class and Gothic-class.
What they faced was a large pirate warlord running rampant in several star fields. In addition to their flagships, they also collected a large number of scrap ships to form an unknown ancient giant garbage in space. In terms of firepower, these warships were all It has reached the standard of a large cruiser and is enough to give even the Imperial Navy in a star region a headache.
All they have is a sector fleet.
"We have a chance to prevent this battle from turning into a shameful defeat."
Mazhar raised his head slightly and looked at Soshyan.
“You insist on that.”
“Yes.”
At this time, the miniature communicator in Lord Magyar's neck armor suddenly rang.
"What's wrong?"
"Chapter Commander, there is a new situation. We found a strange fleet approaching the edge of the galaxy."
A new chapter is about to enter the scene. Okay, I just finished participating in the Battle of the Maelstrom, guess which one it is????
