Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 156

156. Chapter 156, What’s up with those black boxes?

When Gu Hang received the news, the battle was over.

The First Battalion of the Quiet Wind Brigade set out early in the morning. Under the command of Perbov, they advanced rapidly and soon discovered the group of greenskins who were still fighting among themselves and had no intention of covering their tracks.

They were roughly divided into several groups, fighting each other endlessly.

Perbov was not in a hurry to provoke them.

There was no need. These greenskins fought so fiercely among themselves, so let them fight. It would be best if more people died, or even if they all died. He would not be stupid enough to sit back and watch the enemy kill each other while he would fight with the lives of his soldiers.

He passed the news on and sent out some action teams to look for the missing special operations team. The main force was in the distance, patiently monitoring this place from a distance.

A few hours later, the second and third battalions also arrived.

After gathering three combined battalions with nearly 2,000 men, Perbov chose to take action when he saw that the greenskins were about to be defeated, a big guy was about to be unified, and some orc boys were even running away.

He didn’t want some of the greenskins who were still alive to run away, which would increase the difficulty of subsequent clearing.

Before taking action, Perbov also asked the rear for artillery support.

If it had been earlier, the artillery would really not be able to help them. They had just mounted the towed artillery on the truck and arrived at the designated artillery position in the late night of yesterday.

As a result, early this morning, before they had time to catch their breath, they received a request for artillery support from his side.

There were not many shells left, and the artillery brothers were also very tired. At this time, they could only draw out about 20 guns, fired five rounds, and dropped 100 shells.

But it was enough.

The greenskins who were fighting each other just now had no time to build any anti-artillery positions at all, and were bombarded to pieces.

After the bombardment, the three mechanized combined battalions began to charge.

Perbov’s battalion took the lead, and the second and third battalions flanked on the left and right.

They had an advantage in numbers and a fully mechanized team. Except for the artillery units that were left in the joint artillery positions behind, they had tanks, armored vehicles, and infantry brought by troop transport trucks. The overall combat effectiveness was quite strong.

On the other hand, the greenskins had only a thousand people, and a large number of them died in the internal strife. The most threatening killing tank walkers among them were destroyed in the internal strife, and many were also blown up by the artillery.

The rest were still threatening when facing armored vehicles and tanks, but they also became the focus of the attack.

But fortunately, the killing tank is different from the powerful death can or even the heavy armored orc warlord, which has a defense comparable to the strength of the Space Marine power armor. The killing tanks, which were much smaller and thinner, faced the bombardment of at least ten double-barreled machine guns at the same time. The dense machine guns would cause the metal armor to deform continuously, and eventually be broken and torn.

In addition to the machine guns on the armored vehicles, the 76mm smoothbore guns on the domestically produced Challenger tanks, combined with the machine guns on the Wanderers, could cause considerable damage to the killing tanks with one shot.

If they had a unified command and sufficient armored forces, they might have been able to break out with the strong physique of the green-skinned orcs.

But obviously, they didn’t.

The greenskins would not surrender, but they would run, charge without thinking, and fight on their own…

It would not be a problem to wipe out this group of green-skinned orcs.

The cost of casualties was inevitable, but this should be the last group of organized green-skinned orcs.

This was the last battle before victory.

…

After the battle and when the battlefield was cleaned up, Perbov received news from the people who had been sent out to search for the special operations team.

They found the Space Marines.

The Chapter Master of the Phoenix asked to see the commander here.

So, Perbov met Martins, who looked grim.

The two did not communicate much. Martins just told Perbov and mentioned the underground space where they had hidden before.

Before, Martins had ordered several soldiers of the Storm Team to investigate there in depth. The original intention was to find other exits, prepare a way out, and avoid being robbed. But unexpectedly, the soldiers of the Storm Team had other gains.

There was indeed a research institute there, doing some biological research work, from the prosperous era before the destruction of the Wrathful Owl Star. The information contained in it may reveal the origin of this group of strange and fast-growing green orcs in the ruins of the tower.

However, because they were mainly engaged in combat at the time, they did not explore further. Martins suggested that Major Perbov take good care of and protect the place in preparation for the subsequent exploration work.

After saying this, Martins took his four brothers, including the bodies of two combat brothers, asked for a troop transport truck and left.

The two Space Marines took the two bodies and headed for Renaissance City.

They had completed their mission and it was time to leave.

Martins, on the other hand, went straight to the rear to find Governor Gu.

…

Gu Hang met Martins on the way to the pre-war research institute.

Beforehand, he had received information reports and roughly knew what had happened before, especially that two Space Marines had died.

To be honest, this was not what Gu Hang wanted to see.

He had thought before that after all the Space Marines died, he would use the gene seeds granted by the event [Phoenix is dying] to mass-produce his own superhuman warriors.

But regardless of whether this was done in a fucked-up way or not, even if it was done, it shouldn’t be now.

Not only did the gift points cost a lot, he also couldn’t find a place to buy power armor.

He had already felt the role of super warriors like Space Marines in war. The Phoenix Regiment led by Martins had always cooperated well with him. They never refused his mission requests and did it as soon as they said.

Wouldn’t that be great? Gu Hang wouldn’t expect them all to die.

In fact, he was also very sad about the death of two people, just like he felt when two of his own elite men died.

After meeting Martins, he comforted the captain who lost his brother, and then said that he could tell him if he needed anything in the future. For example, he had asked someone to buy the equipment suitable for gene seed surgery mentioned before.

This was not to fool Martins. In fact, he did contact a merchant from the Imperial Chamber of Commerce through Ye Lishia. That caravan had agreed to adjust the trade route slightly and pass through the Angry Owl Star. It would probably arrive soon.

However, despite hearing what Gu Hang said, Martins’ expression did not improve much.

Since he came to Gu Hang, he had already made plans to talk about everything.

“Governor, your secret research institute…what’s the matter with those black boxes?”

I didn’t come back until ten o’clock after working overtime…That’s it for today. I’ll stay up a little bit at night and resume the stable update at noon.
