Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 229

Chapter 229: Phoenix’s New Blood’s First Battle

The so-called C7 area is not the urban area defined by Polar Industrial City itself, but a part of the battle area divided by the Alliance Staff according to the map of Polar Industrial City obtained by the nuns in the early stage when formulating the battle plan.

In terms of the industrial city itself, this should be the location of a raw material warehouse somewhere in Polar Industry.

At the same time, this C7 area is also a place that the nuns of Holy Lily focused on during the early investigation.

According to the intelligence obtained in the early stage, there may be a secret underground space under this area.

The nuns are basically convinced that this is the headquarters of the original Angry Owl Sect.

This group of cultists played a trick of hiding the dark under the lamp and built their headquarters in the underground of the storage center of Polar Industry.

Obviously, their infiltration of Polar Industry is quite good. After hiding for so long, even Pierre, the president of the group, did not know about this space.

The nuns were able to get this information by digging it out from the mouths of the high-level personnel of the original Angry Owl Sect who had been captured many times in the periphery.

Even so, there are still many areas of doubt, and it is not necessarily confirmed that it is this C7 area.

However, in the current raid on the Polar Industrial City, the resistance of C7 area is particularly firm.

This firmness has never changed after Pierre, as the president of the group, spoke.

That’s very strange.

After gradually sweeping away the resistance in other areas, thirty combat sisters under Grit’s command went to investigate the four areas that they also suspected to be the underground headquarters of the original Angry Owl Sect, and found nothing special.

There are indeed traces of cult activities there, and even many were caught alive on the spot.

However, in terms of scale, it is definitely not related to the “headquarters”. I’m afraid it’s just a few areas that are deliberately set up, plus some contact points.

To be honest, their hiding ability is very strong, so much so that the combat sisters can only confirm five suspected areas in almost a year of investigation, and they are not sure whether any one of them is real.

However… what’s the use of hiding well?

All the means of hiding the original Angry Owl Sect probably never thought that one day they would encounter a situation of turning the table.

Who has the time to check which of your five possible areas is real and which is fake? If we destroy one, we are afraid that we will alert you and make you move. We

will directly take down the entire Polar Industrial City, and take it directly when no one can react. We will block the way out of the city to transfer the base, and then the regular army will attack the five areas at the same time.

Caught off guard, they can’t run away, and they can’t really be wiped out like this. The cultists who have been hiding very secretly before finally can’t hide at all.

C7 area, as the headquarters, has been exposed.

They even broke the jar and some cultists with special abilities put on blue robes openly, and used some simple but useful storm magic to block the attack of the alliance soldiers.

If it weren’t for these blue robes, the 31st Airborne Division would not have been helpless here, and even left more than 200 bodies, which made Lieutenant Colonel Drake very angry, and even wanted to take this place himself.

Of course, he was dissuaded by Thaddeus in the name of the commander-in-chief.

It’s not impossible for the 31st Airborne Division to handle it. However, even with the assistance of the Air Force, the soldiers still have to go in and explore the complex indoor environment when they reach the underground part.

There is no need to waste the lives of soldiers in the face of cultists with sorcery abilities.

Now, there are more professional teams in the Polar Industrial City to deal with this kind of situation.

At this moment, at the blockade line of Area C7, there are a total of four teams gathered.

There is only one team belonging to the Alliance military: the special warfare elites of the 10th Brigade.

This time, they came with more than 500 people.

Almost half of the entire 10th Brigade.

The remaining half was incorporated into the expeditionary force, and it is estimated that they have already arrived at Black Arrow Star.

And the remaining three, strictly speaking, do not belong to the Alliance military.

Not to mention the battle sisters, they can’t even be considered members of the Alliance.

There are twelve Phoenix Space Warriors.

In addition to the four century-old veterans who have experienced the Atonement Expedition, there are eight more, all of whom are new blood in the regiment.

At present, there are actually more than 30 new blood in the Phoenix. But these new bloods were discovered and cultivated by the Governor one after another. The latter batches are not yet “mature”, and the superhuman organs in their bodies have not grown completely.

Even among the first three batches, a total of twelve people, it has been half a year since they were implanted with gene seeds, but only eight have completed the growth of superhuman organs.

Especially the “black shell”, which is usually the last one to grow out of the nineteen superhuman organs. The black shell generates nerve bundles inward, connecting with the brain and many different organs of the body; and outward, it will form many insertion points on the body surface, which can be connected to the power armor.

This is why the power armor of the Space Marines is called their second skin. In a sense, the power armor really grows with the Space Marines.

They control the power armor just like controlling a part of their own limbs. Without the assistance of the black shell, the power armor of the Space Marines is almost completely useless.

Other mortals or elite troops like the Sisters of Battle cannot use real Space Marine power armor, and can only use adapted force feedback power armor.

These eight new recruits have grown black shells, indicating that they have grown mature. Now they can wear the power armor that the Governor bought last time and have completed the external painting, and fight side by side with their predecessors.

Martins took them all with him on this mission.

He had to admit that the new recruits of the war group trained by the Governor in his magical way, which made people dare not delve into it, were very high in terms of pure technical and tactical level, even exceeding the level of recruits trained in the heyday of the war group in the past. (T1 level training)

But no matter how mature the technical and tactical level is, the experience of war, the instinct of war, and the mentality that has been refined in countless battles are all impossible to produce by any simple training.

Only those who have experienced blood and fire can do it.

Then let’s experience the battle.

As for the fourth team, it belongs to a new organization of the alliance – the Heretic Demon Hunters.

A mysterious team of fifty people.

At present, all the personnel of the entire action team add up to about six hundred people.

Captain Martins Salas is the commander-in-chief of the special operation and is responsible for the final annihilation of the original wrathful owl sect.

Sister Grit is the highest advisor.

The other teams are under the command of the two of them.

When necessary, Martins can contact the battle commander Brigadier General Taddius at any time. The latter will do his best to meet all of Martins’s requirements.

And now, Martins and Grit are standing at the front of the entire team, chatting about something.

“I didn’t expect that you have such a strong ability to persuade people.” Martins showed a little smile on his face.

Grace responded seriously: “No, I never showed off my eloquence when facing President Pierre. I just told the actual situation one by one. He is not an incurable fool. When all the facts were laid out before him, he made the right choice, that’s all.”

“But that’s the key, isn’t it? Being able to weave facts into a reasonable way and put them in front of reasonable people is an outstanding ability in itself.”

Grace glanced at him sideways: “Captain Martins, do you have to flatter me today?”

“Hahaha!” Martins said with a smile, “I’m not flattering, I’m just telling the facts one by one.”

Grit also smiled: “Thank you for being so honest.”

Suddenly, a slight “beeping” sound rang in the ears of both of them at the same time.

This was the signal that the action time agreed upon earlier had arrived.

They both restrained all the emotions on their faces and put on their helmets. At this point, the temperament left on them was only ice and fire.

“Action… Start!”

…

“Action… Start!”

Listening to the order of the war captain in the communication signal in the helmet, Anatol coldly waved his hand and led the team to step forward first.

To be honest, this was his first actual combat.

Although he had personally experienced in the past training that he was no longer the same as the thin little boy who fled from the Qinggu area in the past, he was still nervous.

However, no matter how nervous he was in his heart, his expression, his words, and his actions would not show it at all.

He is the Phoenix, he is the Emperor’s Angel of Death, he is the Governor’s most powerful warrior.

He should do his best!

At this moment, he was accompanied by thirty elite special forces wearing exoskeleton armor and three demon hunters wearing special leather armor.

They were the first vanguard team to advance.

He rushed to the front.

After crossing a certain line, the enemy’s counterattack began immediately.

The storage building in front, about five to six meters above the ground, had many shooting windows from the inside. The traitors who were entrenched inside should have temporarily built shooting platforms in those places.

After noticing that the Alliance had launched another attack, many of those shooting platforms opened fire.

Some kind of homemade heavy machine guns emitted fire.

These tight shooting windows had brought many casualties to the soldiers of the 31st Airborne Division a few hours ago.

But at this moment, in front of Anato, they were meaningless.

He had already observed these shooting windows, and when he vaguely saw a figure flashing inside, the grenade launcher in his hand shot the bombs into those windows first.

The sound of “bang bang bang” of the bombs instantly made seven or eight shooting windows completely silent.

The remaining flames that fell on him would never penetrate the protection of the power armor.

On the contrary, the gunfire pointed out the direction of their attack.

Anato didn’t even need to do anything. The special warfare elites behind him took out the individual rocket launchers that had been prepared long ago. When the Space Marines in front of them helped them attract the firepower, they mercilessly fired the rocket launchers into the shooting holes.

The enemy’s troublesome counterattack window was completely blocked.

In a quick step, Anato had already arrived in front of the closed door.

This place had been hit by the company-level firepower of the 31st Airborne Division. At present, the Alliance has been promoting the distribution of heavy bolters as fixed firepower points to company-level units.

Heavy bombs and 88-caliber mortars have bombed here. This was originally the side door of the storage building, which was blown up, but now it was blocked tightly by many debris.

But there is nothing to worry about.

Anato quickly ran to the side and attached a hot melt bomb to the wall of the building at the edge.

Bang.

After the orange light flashed, an irregular hole of 4×4 meters appeared where the hot melt bomb touched.

At this moment, another wave of comrades also came up, also led by a Space Marine.

Anato knew him.

That was Kalia Gabriel, a new blood absorbed by the chapter a month later than him.

The two nodded to each other, and then tacitly threw tactical grenades into the hole, one point to the left and one point to the right.

When the explosion sounded, Anato entered first, with the muzzle pointed directly to the right.

In an instant, he found seven or eight targets.

He stepped forward to avoid blocking his battle brothers from following up, and fired while moving.

His brain quickly analyzed the threat level of these seven or eight targets, and instantly dyed these people with different colors through the built-in eyepiece of the tactical helmet.

Then, the grenade launcher found these enemies one by one according to the analysis results.

The first to be killed were the three blue robes. The ability of storm magic mentioned in these intelligence may threaten the power armor;

the second is the enemy who tried to take out grenades or had individual rocket launchers, and heavy firepower is also a threat.

And those who were confused and holding ordinary guns were placed at the end.

However, these things are long to talk about, but in fact all happened almost in an instant.

From the perspective of those cultists, they saw a red giant coming in. Before they recovered from the explosion of the previous tactical grenade, they quickly took three or five steps, and the grenade launcher fired eight times, and eight of them who dared to show their heads fell directly.

The same thing happened on the left side of the broken hole.

The two Space Marines expanded their forward position on the spot. They occupied both sides of the cave entrance, found temporary shelters, and suppressed anyone who might threaten the hole in the wall with their bolters.

At the same time, elite special forces and demon hunters filed in from the cave entrance.

When enough people came in, they began to expand inwards, slaughtering everyone who dared to appear in front of them.

At this moment, there were five additional explosions in succession from five other places in the warehouse.

The exact same situation as theirs occurred in five other places.

Under the leadership of the Space Marines, they can be regarded as the most elite group of people in the alliance. With an unstoppable momentum, they broke through the warehouse defense line that had caused the 31st Airborne Division a lot of trouble before, and entered the interior.

The casualties in this process were minimal.
