Chapter 2020 Fighting without Bloodshed
Standard Terra Calendar 967.M41
Maelstrom Area, Colkeria System, Expeditionary Force Central Battle Group, Flagship Eternal Loyalty
The Red Corsairs' strength in Korkria had been greatly weakened by Talos' previous "Breakdown" operations, so when the expeditionary force assembled in Angstrom and subsequently launched its attack, the Red Corsairs were in that system. The defense force soon collapsed.
The Red Pirates obviously did a good job in intelligence work. They already knew about the arrival of the Dark Angel and the Indomitable Truth. They did not choose to engage in a decisive battle with the main fleet. They simply resisted and gave up a few stars in the galaxy. At a key location, all important facilities and personnel were taken away before leaving, and those that could not be taken away were basically destroyed.
It can be said that the expeditionary force recaptured Colkeria without any bloodshed.
Although the battle between galaxies ended quickly, the battle on the planet did not end quickly.
As an area that once belonged to the Empire and then actively rebelled against it, most people in Korkria already know that they have no way back. The return of the Empire means that many people must die, and more people And their descendants need to be slaves and maids for several generations or even dozens of generations.
Therefore, the people in this galaxy are very resistant to the expeditionary force. In addition, Huron knew that Soshyan would not execute the extermination order in the territory he had already obtained, so he specially arranged for a large number of agents and the Scattered War Gang to enter. After lurking and instigating in various planetary hives, the expeditionary force immediately faced the problem of security warfare.
In this case, Soshyan made an immediate decision.
It was unrealistic and a waste of time to kill everyone directly. Therefore, he demanded that all the indigenous people be driven out of the nest and controlled to go to the huge "temporary closed camps" built in the wild for strict surveillance. and management, and those who choose to stay in the hive will be regarded as enemies and killed without mercy.
Later, a large number of Astra Militarum entered the hive city to carry out the "scorched earth policy", and erected barbed wire fences and various defense facilities in various areas of the hive city to block the flow of enemies in the hive city.
While the expeditionary force was clearing Colkria, Azrael, the Supreme Master of the Dark Angels, also led his troops to attack the Red Pirate Outpost of the Magog Star Cluster, but their main goal was to search for the demon prince. There were traces of him, but he had not shown up since the Sad Galaxy Incident, and there were no eyewitness reports, so it was not easy to find him for a while.
The Central Strike Group of the Expeditionary Force made no further moves for the time being after taking over Colkeria. On the one hand, Huron's decisive retreat surprised Soshyan, and he was not sure what was true for a while. , on the other hand, Occam has not sent information for a while. He is not sure if something has happened to the other party, so he needs to send a reconnaissance fleet to the occupied area of the Red Pirates to conduct an investigation. It happens that Korkeria It still needs to be suppressed for a while. After all, as a galaxy that was once prosperous in the Maelstrom area, Soshyan cannot be so mad as to directly issue a mass extermination order. Talos's virus bomb on the capital of the galaxy has seriously damaged the vitality of the place. Although Huron Most of the industrial facilities were taken away and destroyed, but so many habitable worlds are still useful as a forward rear, at least to house wounded soldiers and provide logistical ports.
The key point is that Huron's choice to give in proactively forced Soshyan to be more cautious. An opponent who knows the trade-offs is obviously much more troublesome than a fierce opponent who doesn't know how to retreat.
During this time, Soshyan also received some other news.
“This is the contact report from the hive of Planet Three in the past week.”
Veronica came to Soshyan on black high heels and put her thumb-thick A stack of papers is placed on the table.
Soshyan sat at the desk in the office, picked up the documents, and started reading.
It only took him about ten minutes to read this.
"It seems that the activities of the rebel gangs have been basically restricted."
As he spoke, he raised his eyes from the reading report and looked at Veronica, smiling:
" Speaking of which, some interesting news came from various war zones a few days ago. "Oh? What is it?" , some document pictures are reflected in mid-air. "This is the outstanding young general I asked them to count in each theater. Look at this one."
Soshiyan stretched out his hand and enlarged a document. Veronica looked at the other person's name and said with some surprise:
"Arni Morales? It's Lao Mo Lares’ son?”
“Well, that’s the noble prince. At first I thought he was just a showman, but Arash spoke highly of him. Look at the regiment he led, a C-level regiment. , is the so-called cannon fodder, but look at his record. Not only did he lead the battle several times, he also had several cases of annihilating enemy Chaos Space Marines. The latest time, he went deep alone and captured the enemy's key stronghold in one fell swoop. , as expected, people cannot be judged by their appearance.”
“Strange, why did old Morales arrange a C-level group for his son?”
"I heard that it was Arni who asked for it, but it could also be that someone gave old Morales a stumbling block. Speaking of which, I have a guess."
As he said that, he asked Shi Yang pulled out another document.
"Chinedo Silva, captain of a destroyer, attached to the Phil formation, performed the task of escorting the fifth theater transport ship, and attacked the Crow System in the fifth theater three months ago At that time, they were covering a transport fleet carrying supplies and more than three million troops to the war zone. However, on the way they were attacked by a red pirate fleet led by a cruiser and composed of more than thirty warships. The Er formation only had six destroyers and four frigates, but under the leadership of the fleet commander Rear Admiral Clifford, they decided to buy time for the transport team. They used an accidental flare activity in the asteroid belt and surrounding stars as a cover to commit suicide. However, Commander Major General Clifford's flagship was unfortunately sunk in the first wave of firefights and he himself died. Afterwards, Chinedu Silva took over the command and through a series of clever tactics and generals The temporarily formed death squads and massacre servitors were sent to the enemy's flagship by jumping gangs to disrupt the opponent's command, delaying the enemy for a full three hours and buying time for the transport team to leave. In the end, after changing flagships twice, they took the remaining The three warships broke away from the battle."
"Oh, it's a miraculous battle. This Chinedu is only 31 years old."
"Haha, I'm afraid something is wrong. Unexpectedly, he is also the illegitimate son of Earl Stern Vaughan.”
Veronica covered her mouth with her hand in surprise.
“Isa, unexpectedly.”
“Earl Vaughan has many illegitimate children, but the one he values most is this one. He has been sent to aristocratic schools since childhood, and has been sent to aristocratic schools all the way. Promoted to the Naval Academy. "
"Then why is he willing to let him go to such a dangerous place? Is it possible that this is not his arrangement?"
Soshiyang said with a smile. nodded.
"Most likely not. I guess it's an act of revenge after someone was tripped up."
"Oh, you are playing tricks on each other's sons. I still can't understand the way you humans fight."< br>
"There are a lot of things in the royal court, but I just let Doral handle them. Not to mention this, there are also these other things, Colonel Creed from Cadian, Colonel Haron Tanz from Mordian , Dankizik, son of Attila's Chanyu, etc. So many outstanding young commanders appeared in this expedition. These people are the pillars and pillars of the future of the empire. I have ordered the state religion to be given to everyone on the list. A team of Crusaders are sent as battlefield bodyguards. Although they still need to be tempered by the brutal war, if one more is saved, it will save a huge loss for the empire. "
Just now. While the two were talking, the communicator suddenly sounded, and Soshyan immediately pressed the button, and Ustad's voice came from inside.
"Chapter Commander, we have captured a special prisoner. He may know some important information."
