Chapter 438: Humanity will win
The Temir Galaxy is located in the southeast corner of the Jinguan Star Region. It is the only way to connect Jinguan and Eagle Horse, and it is also an important transportation artery in the entire Jinguan Star Region. In this galaxy, there are five star tunnels, three of which connect the three galaxies in the Jinguan Star District inward, and connect the Tongguan Star District and the Eagle Horse Star District outwards.
At the same time, the value of the Temir Galaxy itself is actually not low. In this star system, there are three habitable planets orbiting the Temir star, namely planets 2, 4 and 5.
Before the dangers of the Iron-toothed Orcs appeared, these three planets combined had a population of 2 billion. No. was a large agricultural world with billion people, but the food produced was enough to supply the entire star region and there was still a surplus.
No. 4 is a mining and industrial world, focusing on heavy industry and raw material exports. Originally there were about billion people.
Planet No. 5 is a civilized world with a population of 120 billion and numerous cities.
Not to mention how many worlds there are, the three worlds in the star system each have their own advantages and can complement each other.
Coupled with the nature of the transportation thoroughfare, this place can be called a pearl - only before the rise of the iron-toothed greenskins.
After the orcs come, don't say anything.
After the fall of the fourth area, the Jinguan Star Area became a battlefield. Although the Temir Galaxy was not in the main battlefield at the beginning, after all, it was located in the hinterland of the Jinguan Star Region at that time. However, precisely because of the close proximity and a little bit of background, when the Star Territory Government fought against the Iron-toothed Orcs, many of its forces were directly transferred from the Three Stars of Temir.
During the several months of occupation, the Irontooth Orcs invested considerable manpower on Temir 2. Not only were all the human residents on the ground slaughtered in just a few months, but they also worked hard to transform the local ecological environment and establish a large green ecosystem.
Grots also have this ability, and their sneaky and slippery nature is of course a negative factor for productivity in most cases. However, once a certain fart is cutting corners, he comes up with something magical. Toy, that represents a big improvement in productivity.
What was once the granary of Jinguan, a world with a population of four billion, beautiful scenery, and a pleasant environment, has been reduced to a place full of green-skinned spores and fireworks everywhere.
It's okay to fight with the wind, they will even be more vicious than their orc masters; but if there is a slight headwind, the bastard's army will collapse in seconds.
This nature of theirs keeps them at the bottom of the green-skinned society for the rest of their lives. They were willing to do this, and in the orc society, they took on all the responsibilities that the orcs were unwilling to take on - in fact, that was all the work except fighting.
The main product of this factory is the green skin itself; it also produces some weapons and equipment, and the resources are plundered from the other two planets of Temir.
They have been drawing blood like this for decades, and several green-skinned orcs have invaded Temir from the south, causing the three planets that were originally quite good to languish.
However, the previous battle that took the initiative to attack but collapsed under Titus' counterattack caused Temer to suffer a disaster.
Waagh is a very outrageous thing. It was originally just a meaningless roar issued by green skins, but in their language environment, it also represents an adjective, describing everything that is positive to green skins; it can also be used as a noun , represents a great war; even the so-called waagh energy is a psychic power unique to the green-skinned race.
Grots are usually the lowest members of greenskin society and are the assistants and servants of orcs. It is smart, cunning, vicious, but at the same time despicable and cowardly. They are not qualified soldiers. Under normal circumstances, if an army is formed purely from farts, the morale will be extremely worrying.
This is where the green-skinned technology is shocking. The accumulation of ridiculous garbage can fly into space and bombard human giant ships. It is simply outrageous.
After investigation, Du Shiliang initially confirmed that the main force of the green-skinned orc fleet was not in the Temir system. The stargazers on the ship only discovered a dozen green-skinned ships here.
Simply put, if they believe something can happen, it will come true.
Although the main force of the Iron Teeth Clan was split into two at Golden Pass, the army headed westward under the leadership of Titus, burning the flames of war into the belly of the star field; a powerful detachment, led by the One Tooth Ghost, marched eastward to the Hippogriff . However, just the green-skinned orcs who stayed in the Jinguan star region still caused the star region to collapse.
The latter, of course, can also be considered a greenskin.
This is the worst misery. The few times the green-skinned orcs came to the Temir Galaxy, they only caused chaos for a short period of time, and their numbers were not large. The human army would still drive them out quickly. After all, the Temir galaxy can be regarded as one of the few base camps in the territory after Jinguan was reduced to a war zone. The human army will certainly not abandon these three worlds unless it is a last resort.
Among them, the situation of Temir 4 is relatively better. The large and small mines, mines and intricate industrial facilities in the mining world allow the humans inside to hold on firmly. Even with the limited troops invested by the greenskins, they have to Chew down the mines one by one. It has been occupied for several months, but not all of it has been eaten up yet.
When the One-Toothed Ghost was destroyed and the green-skinned fleet collapsed and escaped, they escaped into Temir from the jump point of the Steel Wing Star.
He knew that the alliance could not withstand the consequences of the Navy overturning. Although it had to take the initiative, it could not be too careful in its actions.
Farts are not particularly good industrial workers or farmers. They use their cunning energy at work and like to cheat and cheat. But this problem is easier to solve. The orcs will personally hold the whip and serve as overseers, or appoint a favored fart as the overseer. The latter will even be more cruel to their own kind than the orc master.
However, the problem with Temir 4 is that the planet itself is insufficient in supplies. In the past, it also relied on Temir 2 to supply food. Now that interstellar transportation is cut off, when the planet's supplies are exhausted and even the synthetic starch production line cannot withstand it, the many strongholds on Natmir 4 that rely on mining will suffer disaster.
Coupled with their huge numbers and their bodies that can mature in a few months... the current Temir No. 2 has been transformed into a huge green leather factory.
No matter how poor it is, the productivity and population of the planet are here anyway. At most, the development potential will be hollowed out, the population's living standards will be greatly reduced, famine will occur, and various comprehensive problems will lead to a decline in the population...
It sounds miserable enough, but in reality it's not fatal.
Compared with Temir 2, which has almost no detectable signs of human activity, the situation of Temir 4 and 5 is better.
As for the upper limit, it is unfathomable.
However, the situation on the surface is already very bad.
When Du Shiliang brought his fleet to the Temir Galaxy, the first thing he did was to carefully collect information about the entire galaxy.
The situation of Temir No. 5 will be worse, but it will not be completely finished like Temir No. 2. After all, unlike Temir 2, most of the land is a large area of plain fertile soil. In peacetime, it is certainly good and a wonderful farming land; but in war, there is no danger to defend and it is quickly massacred.
The former can be used as food and animal power for the greenskins, and can even cooperate with the greenskin army in battles in a role similar to military dogs.
This made Du Shiliang feel very sad.
The Northern Fleet was destroyed and Yun Luo ran away. After the loss of space power, a large number of elite human ground troops were trapped in the four galaxies in the southern part of the Yinguan Star Zone, and there was no news. The Jinguan star area that had been pacified suddenly suddenly opened wide and orcs swarmed in.
Although most of the green-skinned main ships were wiped out, there were at least two hundred ships left. But now, half of the combined fleet was taken away by Yelicia to patrol the Qima Land, and the fleet strength in his hands was also somewhat insufficient. If you are careless and get bitten by a green skin, it is still possible for the car to overturn.
On Temir 5, at least humans can still have resistance forces in some mountainous areas and inside megacities.
be saved.
The new batch of green-skinned creatures are already thriving. Not only are there green spore plants everywhere, little squiggly beasts are running around, and grunts have sprouted all over the ground.
The environment of Temir 2 belongs to the green skin's favorite, and almost no traces of human activities can be detected on the surface of the planet.
Sometimes, when the orc master is unhappy, he will catch a few farts and eat them to relieve his boredom.
Through these means, Greenskin society will be able to maintain at least a lower limit of production capacity.
As for the green-skinned orcs, they obviously regard Temir 2 as an important breeding base and have invested a lot of effort here.
It's pretty bad though.
After carefully analyzing the situation of the three planets in Temir, Du Shiliang made a set of response plans.
...
Aboard Temir 2.
In this world where no signs of large-scale human activities can be detected, not everyone has been killed.
That is impossible.
Humans are a tough race and will not die so easily.
Even in this case, even if more than 90% of the humans on the planet are slaughtered - this is already a terrifying number, which shows the killing efficiency of the green skins - but if the remaining is less than %, then It also means that there may be two to three billion, or even more, people living in every corner of the planet.
Zhu Zhengbao is one of them. He is now seventy years old.
He was a veteran of the Temir 2 Home Defense Force. He had been recruited by the empire and led the tens of millions of Temir 2 defense troops to fight on the front line against the greenskins.
He was strategic, courageous and brave, and led the defense force to achieve impressive results. Then, when he got older, he retired and returned to his hometown, where he also gained a grand status and was called 'Marshal'.
He had no interest in politics and just wanted to spend his old age in peace. However, when the Greenskins invaded in large numbers, he stood up again and called on the Temir people to fight against these invaders.
The strength gap between the two sides was too large, and at the beginning of the war, the orbit was full of green-skinned ships. The human army was easily defeated, and the Temir people were massacred crazily on the undefended plains.
But despite this, the old coach still did not lose his tenacity.
In Temir's situation, it was impossible to compete head-on with the greenskins. He led the troops decisively, protected the people, and moved elsewhere.
A planet is so big that it is impossible for the orcs to visit every place in a short time.
They went through countless hardships to find places where the orcs had not yet set foot, and struggled to survive. They established a base and moved cautiously, eliminating any small groups of greenskins that might detect their presence.
Among them are warriors, heroes, women and children. Zhu Zhengbao always told everyone that we must have faith. The emperor will not abandon us. As long as we persist, one day we will be saved. The army of the empire will eventually come, and we will be the winner in the end.
Long live humanity!
It wasn't just propaganda, he believed in it.
Without the blessing of this kind of belief, how could a veteran in his seventies and suffering from injuries persevere until now?
Under his leadership, people have become calm in the past few months.
They established a stronghold under the current situation of having nothing. Although it is not big, although the number is only a few hundred thousand, although if a large number of greenskins swarm in, they will still have to run...
But at least they sowed the seeds. Over the past few months, wheat seedlings have sprouted from the ground, and the harvest season is almost here.
Looking at these scenes, many people can feel the hope and faith that Marshal Zhu said.
At the same time, they also contacted several other strongholds, each of which was large or small. They agreed with each other to provide leverage to each other. If they encountered greenskins who could resist, they would fight against them. If they couldn't resist, they would run away. The other strongholds are at least a retreat.
Just persist like this, as long as you work hard and persist, you will definitely be able to see the day that Marshal Zhu said: the army of the empire will surely come, and mankind will win!
And this day came even earlier than imagined.
That day, Zhu Zhengbao was called up early in the morning.
The visitor excitedly said to him: "It's coming! It's coming! It's really coming! The empire's fleet is coming!"
"What did you say?"
"Go and have a look!"
Zhu Zhengbao put on his clothes and came outside the simple house.
He looked up. The weather was very good today, and he could see several shadows in the blue sky.
At this distance, the shadow actually doesn't look that big, and it doesn't look real, but considering the distance, it's a huge thing.
The old marshal's eyes were no longer working well. He urged people to take out the telescope, and now he saw: it was indeed a ship belonging to humans!
With the old marshal's experience, he could even tell that they were human cruisers, and there seemed to be three or four of them!
This is definitely the main force!
The army is coming! There's help!
"Pass the news on! There is hope for our persistence!" Zhu Zhengbao said.
"Okay!" Others were also beaming, "Actually, there's no need to pass it on, everyone can watch it!"
"Then we have to publicize it. This is a good time to ensure morale." Zhu Zhengbao smiled, feeling excited, but still quite calm: "Although the army is approaching, we have hope, but the troops on the ground will fall behind and join us. Before, there was still danger. At this last moment of success, we must not fall before dawn, do you understand?"
"Understood! I'm going to find someone to write a manuscript and boost morale! Marshal, don't worry, we will do all the work and hold on as much as possible."
"Well, let's go."
After sending the adjutant away, Zhu Zhengbao continued to pick up the telescope and look at the sky with a smile.
Our human ships are so beautiful!
At this time, he saw a small black dot falling from the ship, and soon ignited fire upon contact with the atmosphere.
"Huh? Is that a landing module or a landing spacecraft? It seems a bit too big, the size is wrong... Do we need to land in such a hurry? Without orbital bombardment first?"
The old marshal had some questions in his mind.
And then, he saw the small fireball explode within the atmosphere.
Shot down by the greenskins?
It does not seem.
He saw that the rolling waves of fire, not only did not annihilate like when a normal spacecraft was destroyed, but instead continued to expand as if gasoline had been ignited.
In an extremely fast time, the small fireball turned into a big fireball, and then turned into a cloud of fire all over the sky!
But even at this point, the flames showed no signs of shrinking or extinguishing. Instead, they accelerated and expanded until the sky where they entered the sky changed from blue to a sea of fire!
The sea of fire is still extending, and continues to spread downward and in all directions.
All this happened in just a few dozen seconds.
The entire stronghold fell silent, and the cheers that had just risen subsided.
Everyone stared blankly at the sky that had turned into a sea of fire.
All of this was silent, and Zhu Zhengbao could even hear the chirping of insects, birds, and the breeze.
But all his expressions were frozen.
According to this trend, in a minute or two at most, the sea of fire will extend to his stronghold; in less than an hour at most, the sea of fire will spread throughout the entire planet's atmosphere, burning every inch of Temir 2. on land.
At that time, the entire planet will become a 'fireball' burning violently in the universe. The fierce flames covering the earth's surface will continue to burn for more than ten days to a month, burning out the entire planet's atmosphere and oceans, and burning every living thing on the planet to death.
Even if there are lucky people who are not burned to death hiding underground, in mountains, or in sturdy buildings, the completely destroyed ecosystem makes it impossible for the survivors to continue to survive on a planet that has become a dead place.
Temir 2 will change from a rich and beautiful agricultural world to a dead world.
Dead worlds, places that are absolutely unsuitable for human survival in the records, primitive planets that have not been modified, or destroyed planets are all classified as dead worlds.
In his seventy years of life, he never thought that what was only mentioned in rumors and records would one day come to his beautiful hometown.
Now, he knew what it was.
That's the extermination order from the empire, that's the sky-burning torpedo.
