Chapter 160 152. We must discuss it before issuing an order? !
In the sky, a Necron ship suddenly appeared at a location that no one expected. Without any warning, this strange fleet rushed straight towards the Iron Warriors and Death Guard fleets.
Compared with the ship group that the Iron Warriors greeted before, the scale of this ship group is obviously larger. Surrounded by countless Jackal-class raiders, a larger mothership stands out among them.
But what is puzzling is that this mothership seems to be a complete replica of those small assault ships, but anyone who knows a little bit about ship design will see that this ship can be more "gorgeous".
Yes, in order to prevent these human ships from escaping directly, the Necrons deliberately chose this "camouflage" method.
【Delta Queue! 】
The moment the Iron Warriors detected the Necron fleet, Perturabo immediately issued his order!
Among Perturabo's 256 battlefield predictions, this situation is naturally included in his calculations.
From the perspective of Perturabo, who had no idea about the internal thinking of the Necron, the fact that these Necron suddenly attacked the group of ships preparing for airdrop could only mean one thing - that is,
they attacked the right place!
But this time the Necron's speed once again set a new record.
At this moment, the air supremacy of No. 03 is still in competition.
No time to drop in.
Originally, in Perturabo's calculations, based on the experience of the last attack, even if the Necron ships appeared again, they could complete this airborne activity.
But this time, the enemy is speeding up again!
There is no time, Perturabo thought, as he led the main fleet of Iron Warriors in an attempt to confront the Necron.
In his calculations, the Death Guard's fleet couldn't guard against the Necron at all, but he couldn't let a "brother" die directly in front of him.
As the commander-in-chief of the battlefield, this would be a lifelong shame for him.
Perturabo felt himself becoming irritable again.
On the Fourth Knight, Mortarion was frowning.
"The Iron Warriors can't even provide such a short-term air superiority?"
The original body was extremely dissatisfied, but Mortarion also realized that the target of the Necron ships was here. Knowing the terror of the Necron ships, he knew that he had no time. Hesitantly, Mortarion emerged from the drop pod and strode towards the command room.
Mortarion opened the communication,
[Hades,]
[Received, can hear it. ]
A familiar voice penetrated the sound of electricity,
[The second airborne landing has been temporarily cancelled. Your first priority now is to join up with the vanguard troops on the ground to ensure that you will not be surrounded and killed. 】
If there is no second airdrop support, this army inserted in the enemy's rear will be very difficult.
The Necron ships have already arrived, and Mortarion does not believe that the ground forces can complete the destruction of the target point in such a short time to achieve the effect of helping the fleet.
Therefore, the Death Guard on the ground should preserve their strength and wait for the end of the battle in the universe.
Hades was stunned, the sickle in his hand still tore into pieces the snake-shaped figure in front of him.
【good. ]
On the other side, Dantioch also received an order from Perturabo,
[Be sure to capture the target point, Dantioch. ]
[My war blacksmiths, prove your toughness to the world,]
The casualties on the ground are irrelevant, but their actions will support the forces in space, so they must destroy the underworld forges that send signals to the air fleet.
【I'll give you an hour. ]
Perturabo gave the order,
and Dantioch stopped digging trenches,
[Okay. ]
An hour, which means that Perturabo does not want to give them any room to retreat and avoid air attacks. It’s
like this again, every time!
Perturabo would only give them the maximum amount of time and tasks each time. Obviously with a little forgiveness, the difficulty of the tasks would be greatly reduced, and the blood spilled by the Iron Warriors would also be reduced.
But Perturabo wouldn't do that!
The hardest steel will not be knocked down by tempering, they need to prove their toughness on the fiercest battlefield.
Dantioch cursed, then opened the public communication resignedly,
[All Iron Warriors, return to the front line immediately. ]
[The legion commander has an order to capture the target point at all costs. 】
?
Hearing Dantioch's completely opposite words, Hades slowly raised a question mark in his mind.
No way.?
An unpleasant thought slowly emerged in Hades' mind. He controlled himself to continue killing enemies, and at the same time opened Dantioch's private communication channel.
[Brother, what is the order you received? ]
Dantioch, who had just crawled out of the trench, was confused and irritable and shot an undead warrior in the head with his gun.
He originally had a good impression of Hades, but why did the commander of the Death Guard ask such a stupid question? !
Although he felt irritable, Dantioch still had his own cultivation, so he spoke angrily,
[The commander of the legion ordered that the target point must be captured within one hour. 】
Before he finished speaking, Hades over there had already begun to scream silently in his heart -
sure enough!
Hades suddenly didn't know how to speak, but he had to speak,
[Brother Dantioch,]
[The order I received from the commander of the Death Guard Corps is to immediately join up with the advance troops to ensure the strength of the airborne troops. 】
The other side was silent.
Hades shifted his mind to the battlefield again, but he felt that Dantioch's side looked quite bad.
After a long silence, Dantioch's voice came again, but it seemed to be a hundred years older.
He said weakly,
[The instructions are different. ]
The next thing Dantioch didn't say was -
Who should we listen to?
Originally, the overall command of the entire war rested with Perturabo, but in this ground battle, the plan was that Mortarion would personally participate in the battle, and most of the participants in the battle were also Death Guards, so the direct commander of this battle was It's Mortarion.
According to normal procedures, they should have obeyed Mortarion's orders, but unexpectedly, Perturabo, who had been observing all the situations, issued orders directly to Dantioch.
Dantioch knew that because the Death Guards were still the majority, he actually couldn't decide this matter. These Death Guards all listened to Hades.
Hades will most likely directly execute Mortarion's orders, and Dantioch, as an auxiliary, can only follow suit.
But after returning from this battle, as Iron Warriors, they will face
Pertura Bodantioch. Why is it like this every time? Why is it like this every time?
He looked at the green-and-white Death Guard and realized that in some ways, they
were, well, fucked.
Dantioch stopped thinking.
Compared to Dantioch, who had almost given up thinking, Hades was frantically thinking of countermeasures.
Not long ago, new news came from the main battlefield over there. All the Necrons were rushing back desperately, and even gave up their defense completely.
After all, even if they are killed, these warriors can still get up from the underworld structure behind them, but they may suffer some losses.
The Iron Warriors and the Gray Skitarii followed the retreating army, trying to kill as many enemy soldiers as possible.
Above the sky, in the yellow sand, according to intermittent air force information, the Iron Warriors can provide an air support in about thirty to forty minutes.
Even if Hades chooses to join the vanguard now, there is a high probability that he will encounter a large army of undead returning to defend.
And they will definitely not be able to obey the orders of the legion commanders in the ship. Mortarion and Perturabo have already diverted their attention to naval battles, making it difficult to direct the war on the ground.
Hades pondered for a moment.
In other words, the command of the ground forces fell on him and Dantioch.
Hades spoke,
[Brother Dantioch, can you direct the battle on the frontal battlefield? ]
Dantioch was stunned. As a trident, he did have command authority under the original body.
But he also suddenly realized that he might be able to use this to negotiate conditions with Hades to launch an attack on the target point
. ]
Dantioch said categorically. At the same time, he was about to talk about the terms, but was interrupted by Hades,
[Okay, you tell them to give up chasing the soldiers on the opposite side now and focus their firepower on the armored troops on the opposite side. 】
【The frontal battlefield must hold back the enemy's heavy firepower troops. ]
[Also, let the flying troops persist in this airspace for another fifteen minutes, and then immediately go to support the frontal battlefield. 】
Sonorous, powerful, and extremely fluent Gothic sounded clearly. The tone of the original discussion changed. With unquestionable oppression,
Dantioch looked at Hades who was killing the enemy on the front line. What was he going to do?
Hades answered his doubts,
[Brother, we will attack the target point now,]
[within fifteen minutes. 】
Fifteen minutes later, they will be fighting the enemy in the buildings of the Underworld Structure. Even if the opponent has air superiority, they will not be able to bomb them because it will destroy their own buildings.
Among the armored units on the opposite side, there are some light armors that can fight in the streets and alleys of these building complexes while minimizing damage to the buildings, so they must be held back.
Hades knew that the sudden large number of defenses from the opposite side already showed the importance of the building complex they attacked.
It is likely that there is a structure for sending messages, as well as a structure responsible for the resurrection protocol.
Destroying them would cause unbearable damage to enemy ground operations and would also support naval warfare in space.
And even if they don't succeed, the urban terrain brought by the Underworld structure complex will allow this airborne force to survive the Necron's human sea tactics for a while. After all, the narrow terrain will weaken their advantage.
This is the best solution Hades can think of so far.
But Dantioch may have misunderstood him.
This trident also silently went to the front line where Hades was.
[Thank you, brother. ]
Dantioch's hoarse and heavy voice sounded.
It seemed that Dantioch understood Hades to execute Perturabo's order.
Hades blinked, he was not going to explain.
