Chapter 1756: A fortified city is hard to break
"Sage, I understand your feelings, but if we really want to break in and pull that guy out, how many Space Marines need to be sacrificed? Our power must be reserved for the Red Pirates, not It’s wasted here.”
Seth was the first to respond to Sage Reza’s words, changing from his usual reckless image and looking very calm.
"At worst, we will hand over the orbit to you, and you will slowly play with the people of Angstrom in the future, but our mission is to eliminate the heretics first."
"This——"
Soshiyang raised his hand, interrupted the conversation between the two, and then said in a deep voice:
"What Sage Reza said is not unreasonable. Loyalty is not absolute, which is absolutely disloyal. The rebellion they have given birth to If you think about it, you will definitely try to cross the line in the future. We cannot leave such a time bomb behind us, and the Angstrom galaxy is likely to become a battlefield in the future. We must ensure that this world is absolutely loyal to the empire and does not stray. It’s difficult to get blood just by intimidation.”
Lysander nodded and agreed with Soshyan’s view.
"Yes, Angstrom surrendered today because of our series of plans. Their strength has not been damaged, and they will never obey in their hearts. Once they get a chance to breathe and take back the control of the Titan Army If you have power, it is very likely that you will directly rebel. There are many such lessons in history.”
“But if you want to fight.”
Helbrecht pressed his hands on the guardrail of the imaging device and leaned forward slightly, seeming to observe every detail of the city.
"Where should we start? Direct orbital airdrop? This may cause heavy casualties, or use the Titan Legion to advance from the ground? But then we have to reserve troops to block the enemy from other cities when attacking the capital. Reinforcements, coming and going, may not end the battle in a short time, and there is not much time left for us now. The red pirate fleet may arrive at any time.”
Because of the need for lightning operations, so. All the soldiers have already entered the airdrop position and teleportation position very early, and can immediately launch an attack on the planet just waiting for an order.
Lysander then revealed another concern.
“According to intelligence, Angstrom’s orbital defense system contains a large number of combat aircraft. Previously, those combat aircraft were not available because the defense center on the orbit was paralyzed and the opponent had not yet fully reacted. We are mobilized, but if we give the other party time to react, it will be difficult to predict. Then we will be very passive, so we must make a decision immediately!”
Because they are in a maelstrom area with frequent pirate activities, Angstrom has developed a unique defense theory - they believe that pirates are very accustomed to using small ships and aircraft to carry out harassment and gang-hopping operations, and it is difficult to rely solely on fixed firepower points. To protect all parts of the planet, they deployed a large number of combat aircraft in the planet's defense system, specifically used to deal with the enemy's small targets.
As for the number of these combat aircraft, because they are mainly deployed on several satellites of the planet, Soshyan does not have a clear number at hand, but what is certain is that there are very, very many of them.
Fortunately, none of these things have appeared so far. Perhaps the reason is that the orbital station was invaded, as Lysander said, but Soshyan thinks it is more likely that Angstrom’s senior management has not yet Determined to fight to the death or break the net.
It is precisely for this reason that there is really not much time left for them, but Soshiyang suddenly showed a secret smile.
"I have already written a letter to the great sage and written some conditions. Now they probably think that we will suspend the attack, which can buy some time."
Then Soshyan said what he really thought.
"Time waits for us not, so this operation is mainly based on airdrop and teleportation, directly hitting the enemy's central hub." As he said, he pointed out several key locations and transmitted these data to the airdrop dispatching room of each warship. And the teleportation control room, Helbrecht was a little confused, and seemed to be about to attack.
But right now Soshyan has not revealed any specific strategy. Is he planning to just throw the soldiers directly to the ground?
“But the enemy has a void shield and a large number of anti-aircraft weapons, so if we drop it directly.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Helbrecht's pupils shrank sharply.
Not only him, but all the astropaths, navigators and Astartes think tanks in the fleet felt that an extremely powerful spiritual energy suddenly erupted from the surface of the planet!
After receiving the signal, Sosh raised his eyebrows, and then said loudly:
"Now! All attack!"
————————
Time goes back to an hour ago.
On the streets of the huge mechanical city of Quintanilla, piercing sirens echoed in the air. All vehicles on the originally bustling and busy roads were parked on the roadside, with low-level technicians and priests guarding them. Under the protection of the teaching army, they rushed to their posts in groups. At the same time, the tops of the giant spiers in the city also lit up with sparks, and then invisible shields gradually covered the sky.
As the ground trembled, the buildings began to move, and a deep hole opened in the ground. One after another, majestic giant weapons slowly rose, and the muzzles were pointed at the sky. Those moving metal buildings and buildings It was also spliced into some kind of ground fortification. A large number of combat robots took to the streets and occupied key positions, while the Skitarii gathered near the key facilities and were on standby.
Amidst this stormy tension, in a luxurious villa located in the reception area for foreign guests in Quintanilla, Sorge was wearing a white dress and a black trench coat, with long hair tied back in thorns. He was standing quietly in the basement.
In the dim space, there was only the strange firelight from five blue candles, and a mysterious symbol was drawn on the ground with pure silver powder, surrounded by three grotesque white statues that formed them The material is the mysterious spiritual bone.
Suddenly, all the candles were extinguished, but the light did not disappear. Sparks burst out from the flickering silver lines through the mysterious substance. The air was filled with sparkling substances, stirring up mysterious ripples like starlight, and then the spirits on the ground. The bones began to liquefy, gradually forming a narrow door, and the figures of the two people were reflected on the irregular shimmering curtain.
Suddenly, following a silent and invisible signal, the two agents suddenly became quiet, then knelt down on one knee and lowered their heads towards the subspace energy field just created in the heart of the mechanical city.
With proper timing, the materialized psychic tendrils began to poke out from the glittering curtain, like countless green vines, exploring the thick and rough real world, and then winding Grow, stretch, thicken, twine, intertwine, and become a ladder.
Crying footsteps sounded, and a light cyan aura illuminated the basement. An elegant figure slowly walked down the stairs, dragging ripples of subspace energy behind him.
The two agents immediately welcomed them in unison:
"Salute to you, Mrs. Veronica."
