Chapter 589, Collapse of the Western Front
What Gallardo declared in the hallowed halls of the High Council shocked everyone.
The high lords were sitting on their seats with different expressions. Some people have serious faces, some grit their teeth, and some can't help but lean forward...
"Tell me carefully, I need to know the details." The question came from the Prime Minister of the Empire, Qi Bodu.
No matter what his mood was, the expression on Gallardo's face was at least serious.
He recounted the entire information.
In the entire three-front battlefield of the Iron Armor War, if they were ranked in order of importance, then the order would undoubtedly be west, north, and south.
Alfonzo's fleet suddenly joined the war, causing the importance of the southern front to soar.
But despite this, it is at most similar to the Northern Front battlefield.
Both of these fronts are inferior to the Western Front.
Let’s not talk about the Southern Front Battle Alliance. On the Northern Front, the fight seems to be lively. There are two founding battle groups, Infinite and Bat, and the Black Cross Army Group also participates in the battle. In addition, many other war groups sent troops. After being blocked by the Zerg aliens, they received the help of the Tribunal of the Outsiders. The Silver Watch, a special war group, joined the battlefield...
However, in fact, the three most important pillars: Infinity and Bat, only one company came, with a total of two hundred people; the Black Crusaders came quite a lot, an entire squadron, Mathieu Leroux Marshal Va led a thousand Black Crusaders and became the backbone.
But this adds up to only 1,200 people.
Other war groups, including the Silver Watch, sent only five hundred Space Marines in total. No one came in full force, they just came to support.
In addition to sending out troops other than Silver Watch, the Tribunal of Foreign Affairs gave relatively small numbers. After all, they have too many other aliens to deal with.
In fact, the main forces of the conventional Imperial Navy and Imperial Astra Militarum are mainly provided by the Galactus space behind the northern front.
Is the power of one universe enough?
Not enough.
The Star Swallowing Space Domain can be said to be one of the two largest and richest space domains in the northern frontier of the empire. But like all other universes in the empire, they also need to face some internal problems. In the Star-Eating Universe, there is a rebel force spanning two star domains, which has never been resolved. They were a group of traitors who believed in Chaos. While they indulged in pleasure, they also had a particularly strong attraction, which had always caused headaches for the Eternal Territory government. Several large armies were sent to quell the rebellion, but not only did they fail to solve the problem, but some troops were corroded and defected. In some surrounding worlds, there will always be internal rebellions.
If it weren't for the fact that the Swallowing Space Domain is located to the north of the Spider Web Space Domain, and has been attacked by Iron Armor, they wouldn't even have provided troops, supplies, and fleets with such intensity to fight south. .
But even so, due to internal problems, they still could not devote all their efforts to the war south.
Unless the start-up battle groups like Infinite and Bat show more determination and send more manpower, or Black Cross calls in another squadron... Otherwise, the northern battlefield will really not change much. possible.
On the contrary, looking at the Western Front is different.
Phoenix called on several sub-regiments to join the battle. After they gradually increased their strength, the manpower of this regiment reached 700.
There were even two battle groups, Black Feather and Devil Bird, and the entire army was dispatched.
Although they are not satisfied with the number, there are still 1,600 people in total.
Including the total of seven sub-regiments, each supported by 2 to 4 companies, the number of Space Marines fighting on the Western Front exceeded 4,500.
More importantly, the Heretic Tribunal, one of the three major tribunals, is the most angry one. After they continued to increase their troops, at least 20,000 battle nuns from the Blood Rose were fighting here. At the same time, they also recruited the state religion sect with which they had a good relationship. Not only did the fleet arrive, but there were also battle nuns.
The total number of battle nuns from all orders exceeds 30,000.
Including the elite stormtroopers and inquisitors of the Inquisition, the Inquisition has invested a considerable amount of troops, and is bound to put down the largest internal rebellion in the empire in the past thousand years.
In fact, the main force of the Iron Armor Chapter is also in the west, fully coping with the joint attack from the Phoenix and the Heretic Tribunal on the Western Front battlefield.
Not just responding to the attack, but even pushing back. The western front is also the main direction of Tiekai's attack.
What's more, the troops in the hands of Phoenix Lord Su Lie are also the result of gradually increasing the number of troops. There are not so many people at once.
At the worst time, the Empire was even pushed out of the Spider Web Universe by Iron Armor and pushed to the Maigret Universe.
It was not until reinforcements from all parties were in place and the alliance launched an offensive from the south that Phoenix regained its footing and began to push back.
Recently, the Phoenix returned to the Spider Web Universe.
Although not fast enough, it is steady enough.
It is precisely because of this situation that the masters of Holy Terra are thinking about how to open up all three manifestations, so that they can reinforce each other, coordinate operations, and even mobilize troops to change the direction of the main attack...
As a result, the Phoenix has now collapsed.
The process of collapse is actually not complicated.
The iron armor on the opposite side suddenly gathered its troops and launched a wave of fierce attacks.
During the naval battle, more than twenty giant ships fought against Su Lie's fleet.
Su Lie had no intention of a decisive battle. Seeing that the enemy was coming so fiercely, he fought and retreated, mainly delaying, and sent out separate troops to attack the rear and flanks of the iron armor.
Tiejai's concentration of troops and fleets must have drawn forces from other places.
Through this strategy, there should be a chance to disrupt Tie Kai's ferocious attack.
This time, however, things were different.
Tie Jiao took the shield of rock and launched a very fierce gang-hopping battle.
There were even some very... strange enemies among the enemies.
Those guys seemed to be just ordinary mortal legions, joining the Space Marines in gangs. But their physical strength is much stronger than that of normal mortals, and they also look different from ordinary people.
But the specific method of the difference is unknown, and there is a lack of further information.
After that war, the flagship of the Phoenix Chapter, the 'Phoenix Crown Feather' Queen of Glory battleship, also disappeared.
After losing this ship, which humanity had completely lost the ability to build, designed by the Emperor himself and built by Mars, the war situation on the Western Front collapsed.
A large number of ships were destroyed, and the surviving ships had to flee in all directions; the transport fleet that followed had to deliver the troops and supplies to the nearest surface of the planet before being destroyed, and then run away quickly...< br>
After the tragic war, it was difficult to estimate the enemy's losses due to the lack of frontline intelligence.
But it shouldn't be too light.
The empire, which retreated and regrouped, lost its chapter leader Su Lie and the Queen of Glory battleship. There were only two hundred Phoenix warriors left, commanded by a company commander; the other chapters combined might have a thousand. People regrouped left and right.
The losses of the Battle Sisters were even more severe. More than 10,000 people were killed or missing. Only 10,000 of the remaining 20,000 people regrouped at the rear. The remaining Battle Sisters, as well as the Space Marines estimated to be about a thousand people, are scattered on the surface of various planets, and their future fate is uncertain.
