Chapter 640, so stupid
Lofo Star Territory.
The main fleet on the northern front is gathering.
Marshal Leroy, as the commander-in-chief of the theater, is holding an important military meeting here.
Great and decisive progress has been made on the Northern Front.
At least, that's what Leroy reported to Holy Terra.
He wasn't lying either.
From the beginning, the northern front battlefield did not receive high attention, and it was probably better than the southern front. At the beginning of the Iron Armor Rebellion, the Empire was actually counting on the Phoenix Chapter on the Western Front. Later, the Phoenix Chapter collapsed, and Holy Terra made great efforts to form a large army. He even sent out the direct lineage Chapter Otaupis at the bottom of the box, together with the Sun Fleet and the Sun Auxiliary Army. The combined army also reconstructed the Western Front. military.
In contrast, the Northern Front received less support.
At the beginning, the Northern Front, like Gu Hang on the Southern Front, were just local troops formed in the local space domain.
Different from the southern front, Iron Armor's invasion of the Star Swallowing Universe was much more violent than their attack on the Eastern Universe. On the one hand, the Galactus Universe deployed its own troops and generals and requested the support of several war groups operating in the Galactus Universe. On the other hand, it also quickly asked for help from the outside.
The two founding war groups, Space Marines and Bats, both accepted the call.
Of course, they all had their own reasons for accepting the call-up. Bat is its own home planet, and it is swallowing the star. The Infinite Chapter is because it was his son who rebelled, and it wasn't too far away.
But only one company came from both battle groups.
Not much, and there's a reason for that. The start-up team has a lot of work and is very busy. There are often dozens or hundreds of them, scattered throughout the universe, and have different tasks. It's already pretty good to be able to spare a full company. Moreover, the equipment level and strength level of the start-up battle group are top-notch.
But after all, the number of founding groups is too small, and even the several fighting groups in the Star Swallowing Universe have their own threats to face.
To be honest, where are the Space Marines raised by the Empire for nothing? There is work to be done. The empire recruits, the war group responds to requests for help from various places, and the war group's power expands to a star field. Naturally, it is necessary to ensure the safety of a star field. Rebellion, aliens, Chaos corruption... you have to do it all.
There are even many battle groups that have been directly placed by the empire in places where the threat is particularly great and directly guarded by the battle groups.
Unless their home planet is directly threatened by a fatal threat, it will be difficult for the war group to concentrate all its forces to do one thing.
Oh, Phoenix, Raging Flame, New Age Torch, Blood Shark...these war groups are different.
They have no other work to do but alliance work.
Because of this, there were only a little over a thousand Space Marines gathered on the Northern Front at the beginning. Such a force can only barely stabilize the battle situation in the Star-Eating Universe Territory, and can only make the situation of continuous retreat become less severe.
Counterattack is even more impossible.
Until the arrival of the Black Crusaders.
Leroy is the marshal of the Third Fleet of the Black Crusade, which not only has a battle barge and two battlecruisers as the main force, but also a thousand Space Marines.
Hmm... When it comes to the topic of 'transcendence', it's hard to say which one is better, Iron Armor or Black Crusaders. The Black Crusade has eight expeditionary fleets on the surface, each with a thousand Space Marines. It is hard to say how many "preparatory recruits" are secretly prepared. Anyway, when the Black Crusaders lose troops, they can quickly replace them.
Their reincarnation is legal.
The Holy Code also stipulates that during the expedition, the maximum number of personnel can be exceeded to a certain extent.
The Black Cross is using this bill to make their actions legal. As for why other war groups can't do this... first let's see if the name of our own war group is called Black Cross.
In addition, Black Cross people do work. There is no home star, and the eight fleets are located throughout the empire, fighting on the front lines of various battlefields. They actively respond to the war calls of various empires and have almost no misdeeds.
They are strong, have few conflicts of interest, are proactive and have a good background... indeed no one will cause trouble for them.
The arrival of a thousand men from the Fourth Fleet directly stabilized the Galactus Space Domain, and even allowed for a counterattack.
Until they entered the Lefo Star Territory, they were only one step away from the Queen's Star Territory. Then, they encountered an entire Hive Fleet and were firmly blocked outside.
Until they received reinforcements.
The Foreign Tribunal is very interested in the war here and how the Void Zerg will cooperate with Iron Armor's strategy. They sent Inquisitors to join the battle, as well as the Silver Watch Space Marines, who were formed by drawing elites from various battle groups and specializing in fighting alien enemies.
Coupled with a large number of stormtroopers, they formed the support provided by the Foreign Order.
Although there are not many Space Marines, there are three hundred Silver Watch, but they are all combat experts against the void insect swarm; the hundreds of thousands of stormtroopers led by the Inquisitors are also a force that cannot be underestimated.
This also allowed the war on the northern front to advance with difficulty.
Then when the Phoenix on the Western Front collapsed, Holy Terra also panicked. They not only engaged in fierce political struggles internally, but also defeated Prime Minister Ogüren. Gallardo came to the forefront and quickly reorganized the main force on the Western Front. At the same time, they also looked for people from all sides to reinforce the battlefield.
It was against this background that Gu Hang received considerable strategic material support on the southern route.
There were of course reinforcements on the northern front.
Not to mention the various soldiers and horses, the most important one is the Black Crusaders.
They came with another expedition fleet.
The Black Cross Seventh Fleet joined the battle sequence, which also increased the number of Space Marines active on the northern front to nearly four thousand, and the fleet was powerful.
Marshal of the Third Fleet of the Black Cross, Mathieu Leroy, as the Commander-in-Chief of the Northern Front, led his army with high spirits, changing from the previous difficult advance. It was not overwhelming, but at least it was progressing rapidly.
It is not easy to completely eradicate the insect swarm.
They won a relatively crucial battle, using a planet as the battlefield and turning it into a flesh and blood mill, attracting billions of insect swarms to it, and also attracted the main force of the Hive Fleet.
Then, they won the battle and destroyed the main force of the Hive Fleet, with only a small number of them escaping; the billions of bugs on the ground were reduced to ashes under a sky-burning torpedo.
Although there are still traces of Zerg everywhere in the Lefo Star Territory, Leroy no longer wants to drag his army into this quagmire.
The Hive Fleet is no longer able to threaten the main force of the Northern Army, so shouldn't we take this opportunity to directly invade the Queen's Star Territory?
Before leaving, he needed to pass a military meeting to confirm the thoughts of the entire legion.
There is nothing wrong with him being the commander-in-chief, but the so-called Northern Front Army is so complex that it does not mean that everything can be done with just one order from him.
The first topic of the meeting was not their next strategic and tactical direction. Instead, it was discussing the southern battlefield far away, and a reply that Gu Hang sent him.
"That Gu Hang, rejected the strategy of cooperating with us from the southern front and entering the Queen's Star Territory together?"
"How stupid."
