Protoss in Warhammer

Chapter 26 26. Calgar’s frustration

Thousands of light years away from El, in Darius, the war has been burning for more than a month.

Since it has been unable to advance on the ground, the Navy even took the risk of sending the warships into low orbit and carrying out orbital bombing against the enemy's fortress artillery.But the effect was not obvious. The attack of the alien turret did not weaken, and the navy lost many warships.

On the main battlefield on land, although the Astartes and mortal auxiliary armies caught the enemy off guard through airborne operations in the early stages of the war, they suffered a strong attack when they were about to arrive at the central city of Gelbulin on the eastern coast. of containment.

The Star Legion responsible for defending the flanks was attacked by the local Planetary Defense Force.Especially in the western forest area, there are a large number of Kroot equipped with exoskeleton power armor and heavy ion guns.

During the battle, the Astral Legion was dismayed to find that the protective capabilities of those alien creations far exceeded the protective effects of bulletproof armor. Some alien officers were even equipped with plasma shields.The weapons they use are also more diverse. In long-distance battles, railguns have better range and firepower and can easily penetrate bulletproof armor and helmets.And when they started to charge, those damn cowardly aliens would actually bend down and let the robotic arms behind them enter shotgun mode, and the powerful electromagnetic bullets would quickly stop their charge.

Due to the technological advantages in individual strength, the Kalai army was able to quickly reorganize its defense line after the initial chaos. If the number of human troops were not excessive, they might even launch a counterattack to push the enemy back to the coastal areas.

As for the armored forces, the large number of Lingbo infantry fighting vehicles and Kirin main battle tanks also pose a large number of threats to them.Especially the Kirin tank. This tank named after an ancient alien has a railgun that is as powerful as the Leman Russ, the main battle tank equipped by the New Territories Army.And when they start to use their own electromagnetic shield, the deflection stance will directly deflect most of the live ammunition attacks, making most of the opponent's attacks directly ineffective.

When Gray knew the names of these weapons, he was still a little confused. After all, why are the names so strange?After understanding it, I realized that most of these names are directly named after species created by the ancient saints. As for why it is so called like a previous human civilization?Maybe the Old Ones got there and scattered these strange creatures!

The Space Marines led by Calgar ran directly into the Templars led by Tassadar.Although they were not attacked or even routed like the Astral Legion, the templars were battle-tested warriors, and it was difficult for the Astartes to move forward.

On the early battlefield, Calga looked at the dark night already illuminated by fire.The fire in the distance illuminated his resolute face. The fire was like the fire in his heart. It would never go out and would burn forever for the Emperor and mankind.Soon, he turned around and left here. There were still more things for him to complete.

He came to the temporary headquarters on the front line, which used to be an alien fortress, but now it has become the frontline headquarters of the human expeditionary force.

In the command room, a group of officers were discussing countermeasures around the holographic projector, and the map above was a holographic image of the entire battlefield.When the huge blue giant led his guards here, the already inadequate command post became even more crowded, but no one had any complaints, because it was the symbol of victory here.

Calgar looked at the map and asked
"How was the battle in the last 12 hours?"

General Wendel Gaug, commander of the Astra Militarum in charge of ground operations, saluted Calgar and said
"The situation is not ideal, sir. Our army is firmly blocked by the aliens. As far as we know, the enemy has deployed a large number of soldiers and armored units around their city. Our army group has been completely blocked. It is about to Enter positional warfare.”

Calgar fell into silence after hearing the news. He did not expect that the other party could still respond well even in positional warfare.At the beginning of the war, they originally carried out a division and encirclement operation, but the result was very tragic. Nearly 4 people were killed and captured in the division and encirclement.Immediately corrected plans were then concentrated on the attack, hoping to repel the enemy in an entire section of assault combat.However, when the Titan Legion was suppressed by the enemy's air force, there was no way to repel the enemy's defense line, which was becoming more stubborn day by day.

The most important thing now is how to rescue the Titan Legion.Kalga asked after thinking for a long time.
"Is the enemy's support fleet on the way?"

General Gaoge on the side shook his head after hearing this and said uncertainly.

"Not sure. There haven't been any fluctuations in the subspace route recently, but the enemy may not be using the subspace route, so there is no way to determine where the enemy's support fleet is."

"Is that so..."

After hearing this, Kalga thought for a long time and suddenly said
"Tell the Navy to send all the fighter jets they use for daily patrols in orbit to the planetary battlefield. We need enough air cover to fight a battle."

General Gaoge's heart trembled after hearing this, and he said worriedly

"But if this is the case, it will be difficult for our navy to detect traces of the enemy in the first place. Moreover, there are still some remaining enemy fleets at the edge of the star system. This will easily lead to our navy being attacked."

The leader of the Ultramarines Chapter shook his head after hearing this and denied what he said.

"So what? If we can't capture the alien city, then all the previous sacrifices will be in vain. Only after we completely capture that city and eliminate the enemy's effective strength can we establish a stable stronghold here and hold on until our support fleet arrives. Arrival. If we blindly preserve the remaining naval warships, then in the end we will only make this expedition fail."

After hearing Calgar's firm words, General Gaug could only agree and send a signal to the naval fleet in orbit.

Although giving up the navy will make Calgar feel frustrated that he is about to fail, as long as he can successfully defeat the enemies on land, everything will not be a problem. The frustration he feels now is destined to be taken away by future victories. replaced by a sense of joy.

And when the human expeditionary force has prepared everything, the battle to determine the fate of Daris is about to break out.Can the human expeditionary force completely eliminate the alien rule here?Or will the Kalai Protoss Empire defend its homeland?

Everything will come to an end in the decisive battle tomorrow morning.
