Being a lord in another world begins with farming

Chapter 625 Astral Army

When the light beam reaching the sky dissipated, the 100,000 Astra Militarum troops based on the alien plane were a little panicked at first, and then started to act individually under the scolding of the veterans.

The Astra Militarum had just arrived, and the first thing they did was to dig trenches and build positions. As long as you were not blind, you could see the transmission of the Rainbow Bridge from hundreds of miles away. Who knew whether the people attracted were enemies or friends.

As the one-eyed eagle took off, the terrain projection with a radius of hundreds of miles gradually improved. Experienced imperial officers built defensive fortifications in dots and sections according to the location of each unit, and then built artillery positions, camps, warehouses, field hospitals, and command posts in sequence. Wait and be prepared for a long battle.

Although I don’t know who my opponent will be this time, it’s definitely a good idea to be prepared.

After hearing the commander's order, the Astra Militarum expertly took off the engineer shovel from his backpack. This short and sturdy shovel is very suitable for digging trenches in a kneeling position. In addition, he spent most of the year learning to dig trenches and repair fortifications. So it's very fast.

One hundred thousand people took action together, and the efficiency was terrifying. Soon a crude defense line appeared on the ground. It looked very ugly, but it gave the Astra Militarum a rare sense of security.

In addition to continuing to strengthen and improve the fortifications, a group of soldiers also entered the trenches to set up machine guns and lay out minefields. At the same time, artillery positions were also deployed to prepare for firing at any time.

The reason for being so cautious is not because of anything else, but because the situation in this plane is very bad and has been seriously polluted by the power of the ancient gods.

For the Divine Net, the Ancient God is like a virus that brings pollution. Therefore, once the Ancient God is found to have broken away from the seal, the nearby Divine Net and Demonic Net will automatically disconnect to prevent being infected by the power of the Ancient God until the Ancient God is Re-seal.

Then there is the fact that this work is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the return rate is extremely low. You might lose time but also money.

In the previous battle, although the God of Order who was responsible for the deal re-sealed the Ancient God, a large number of residual limbs and the power of the Ancient God still leaked out, causing a lot of pollution to the nearby planes and void.

The God of Order who was responsible for suppressing the sealed ancient gods would not care about this, so he left it to the Greenland of Order. After all, the Greenland of Order was better at this. As for whether he was willing to do so, he must be willing.

The Ancient God is like a radiation source. Even a drop of blood can cause a large area of ​​pollution, and it is difficult to purify. Even the void cannot decompose the power of the Ancient God, but will continue to expand the area of ​​pollution.

Just like the evil energy in the main world, it was originally just a tooth of the ancient god, but after crossing the void, it first polluted a pocket secret realm, and later it almost spread all over the world, even in the underground world. The pollution ability of the ancient god It can be seen.

But if you are good at it, no one wants to do this job.

First of all, even the gods of order have to be careful when facing the pollution of the ancient gods, for fear of being contaminated. Otherwise, in order to remove the pollution, they will inevitably have to cut the flesh and bones and severely damage their vitality.

It just so happens that the Ancient God has an immortal body, and he fights without losing his life. He always causes blood and flesh to fly everywhere, causing large areas of pollution in every battle.

It is so serious mainly because it is impossible to completely clean up a contaminated plane, at least not after the origin of the plane is contaminated, and it cannot be directly destroyed.

This is not because you are soft-hearted and can't take action, but once a seriously polluted plane is destroyed, a large area of ​​void will become a polluted area. At that time, it will not only cause pollution to other planes, but also cause terrible consequences when new planes are formed.

Therefore, it is necessary to continuously clean up the polluted plane, and it will take hundreds of years to reduce the pollution concentration. During this period, a lot of divine power and energy must be continuously invested. Even if the population is relocated and developed into a faith ranch, it will be very difficult to recover the cost. .

Therefore, the God of Order will try his best to reduce costs, and Owen is no exception. This is why he formed the Astra Militarum. There is not much time left for the Astra Militarum to build fortifications, because the Cyclops Eagle has already detected the enemy.

"In addition to beasts, there are also humans, orcs, elves, and rats from so many races. It seems like it will be a tough battle." The officer in the command center looked at the projected image and said seriously.

"No matter who they are, as long as they are enemies of the empire, they will only end up in destruction." A general who looked quite old said sonorously, and he immediately received a roar of approval.

This is not flattery, but they really think so, but whether it can be realized depends on the performance of the newly established Astra Militarum. Even they don't have much certainty about this, so they can only do their best.

There is no way. These Astra Militarum have only received one year of training. Most of them are in physical fitness, discipline and civil engineering training. They have a poor grasp of vehicles and precision weapons. Now they mainly rely on Imperial veterans, which greatly limits the combat effectiveness of the Astra Militarum. .

What's more, no one can say whether the obedience and discipline developed over a year can withstand the test of war and death. We can only take it one step at a time.

Under successive orders, the artillery began to adjust its angle, while the engineers were busy placing more mines. The tense atmosphere suddenly spread, and everyone knew that the war was about to begin.

Except for a few veterans, most of the Astra Militarum are recruits who have just completed one year of training. They are acting in different ways at this moment. Some are so nervous that their gun-holding hands are turning white, some are holding sacred scriptures and praying in a low voice, and some are praying in a low voice with both hands. Hugging my knees and sobbing.

No matter which one, the expression of the veteran who is the squad leader has not changed much. There is no persuasion, no comfort, or even morale boosting. Instead, he calmly arranges the equipment and then lights a cigarette to kill time.

A year of training has made all the recruits regard the squad leader as their backbone. Seeing his appearance, they calmed down unconsciously. Some followed suit, some checked equipment, some helped carry ammunition, and some learned to light fires. Of cigarettes.

It's not that the veterans have the style of generals, but they know very well that before the strategic goal is achieved, they can't go anywhere except the position, because they were teleported here and there is no way out.

The most important thing is that these veterans from the Empire know that death is not terrible and faith is not blind, but real.

As long as they fight bravely for the empire, even if they die in battle, they will just live in a different place, or even live a better life. In this case, there is nothing to be afraid of.

As for these new recruits, they are too lazy to care. After a few battles, they will learn how to fight without dying.

The tense atmosphere dissipated silently. Under the leadership of the veteran, everything was in order until the wave of black shadows in the distance appeared in front of them.

It is said to be a wave, but in fact the components are quite complex. Many common races can see it, and uncommon ones can also see it. But now they have all become like zombies, with pale skin, gray eyes, and staggering towards the star world. The army's position came running.

The most eye-catching thing is the strange dandelion-like plant more than a foot high above the zombies' heads. As the zombies run, they are constantly swaying, and the white catkins like dandelion seeds are floating in the air. It looks quite interesting.

But the officers at the headquarters knew very well what this was, and all of them had serious expressions on their faces.
