Boom!!

The entire earth was shaking slightly, and the radiation sandstorm that blocked the sky and the sun was still a hundred kilometers away.

However, Hawke in the trench felt the vibration and heard the terrifying sound of the moving sandstorm.

Hawke has never seen such a huge sandstorm, covering the sky, like the end of the world, and the most terrifying thing is that it is also mixed with lightning.

There is no such terrible sandstorm in his hometown. Only this alien planet, which also belongs to the human empire, has such a sandstorm.

This is the second planet in the Obo galaxy.

Planet No. 2 is an Earth-like planet. The empire's colonists built a hive city on this planet to maintain normal production and life.

Unlike hive cities in other worlds, the hive cities here extend downward.

The Opal Galaxy is a double star, and the intense stellar radiation bombards the four planets in the galaxy all the time, blasting them into barren land.

Hiding underground is undoubtedly a good idea.

The entrance to the hive is a huge mountain. The colonists hollowed out the entire mountain to build an airport. They also built a large number of buildings to collect solar energy to supply energy to the hive.

This structure makes the entire nest easy to defend and difficult to attack.

At least until Hawke and others arrived, the orcs failed to capture the hive city.

Hawke also did not expect that the first battle he participated in the Astra Militarum would be against the orcs.

They have defeated the orcs several times in a row.

But those guys will always come back. If we don't wait until the space battle is over, it will be difficult to end this war.

Hawke belonged to the 65th Natal Regiment, a new regiment.

The Primarch needs enough troops to defeat the enemy and defend the achievements of the reform.

The veterans were dispersed and assigned to different units to lead new recruits.

This ground battle was also Hawke's first battle.

The fear of death made his adrenaline surge, and even after the battle was over, he still found it difficult to calm down.

"Those greenskins are really disgusting." Castine said from the side.

Hawke glanced at Castine, who was also wrapped tightly.

The thick double-layered protective military uniform had completely covered up her beautiful figure. Her young, collagen-filled face was red, and she was obviously bored.

The Emperor's cause requires the devotion of all men and women.

Kastin was from the 68th Regiment, and that regiment was all women.

Men and women are not mixed together in the corps. They are divided separately, so that they can be managed better and avoid some unhealthy trends.

"What enemy of the Emperor is not disgusting??"

Hawke said humorously.

Kastin smiled a little, she was pretty, like the little girl next door.

"It's over, let's go have a drink." Castine said.

"Of course that's great. Such a beautiful female soldier invites you to drink. There's no reason not to go." Hawke smiled.

Castine wanted to say something else, but the piercing siren sounded.

Noisy sounds came from far away.

Along with the smoke and the strong wind brought by the storm, the orcs appeared in front of them.

Those guys were driving extremely horrifyingly modified chariots, shouting WAAAGH, WAAAGH.

"They're coming," shouted an officer wearing black boots and holding a laser pistol.

His voice echoed across the front through the servo skulls.

The sound of artillery fire sounded, and beams of light and shells spurted out from the rear of the line.

Medusa missiles, heavy cannons, and laser cannons were all firing, pouring out ammunition without any scruples.

The rocky plain in front of the trench turned into a sea of ​​fire. Many orc tanks were blown over in the explosion. The large and small orcs above were blown to pieces, and their limbs were scattered all over the ground.

"These damn beasts, hahaha." Castine's voice came, and she shouted, "All aliens deserve to die."

Castine's voice drew echoes from others.

The joy of the soldiers did not last long, as the orcs rushed out of the sea of ​​​​fire brandishing their weapons.

They also pulled out those strange-shaped artillery pieces that looked very much like they were made of scrap metal, and launched a counterattack against the human positions.

A cannonball exploded next to Hawke, kicking up a lot of dust, which then fell down under the pull of the planet's gravity, leaving him covered in mud.

The roar of the explosion made his ears ring.

"Stand up and take aim, they are coming." The squadron leader's voice came.

Hawke stood up, picked up his laser gun, inserted the energy battery into it, and adjusted the output power as he had done during training.

The orcs were approaching, roaring with excitement.

"Fire!" the squadron leader roared.

Ruby-colored beams of light shot out from the trenches, densely forming a red intertwined network.

Countless laser beams were fired at the orcs, causing them to scream in pain.

Hawke aimed at each enemy, trying his best to ensure that his shots would not miss.

Suddenly, a shocked voice came.

"Your Majesty, are these greenskins crazy?"

Hawke turned around and saw that it was another companion, who was looking up into the air.

He followed the other person's gaze, and shock quickly appeared in his confused eyes.

The guy who was called a fart flew over with huge cannonballs in his arms.

Many farts were blown up before they even hit the ground.

There were also some lucky ones who released the shells in time and fell into the trenches.

Hawke had to turn around and deal with these farts first. They were not tall, but their attack power was not bad.

Wielding all kinds of sharp weapons, he slashed at everything he could see.

The appearance of farts caused chaos in the human defense line.

With the help of chaos, those powerful orc warriors quickly rushed through the line of fire, holding those large-caliber muskets and firing in all directions.

The defense line fell into chaos, and the orc warriors were much stronger than the Grots.

Castine's desperate cry came from the side, she hoped someone could help her.

Hawke wanted to turn his head to see what was going on, but he couldn't. He was also in danger.

An orc warrior was about to chop him into pieces with the battle ax in his hand.

"Your enemy is me, the alien."

A Primaris Space Marine dressed in blue and white rushed out from behind the defense line, slashing at the orc with the power sword in his hand. After being blocked by the opponent, he seized the gap and kicked the opponent to the ground.

Then, he swung the power sword in his hand and chopped off the opponent's head with one strike.

"For the Emperor, for the Lord of Ultramar." The warrior roared angrily and rushed towards the other orcs.

More Primaris Space Marines joined the battlefield to assist the Astra Militarum in holding the line.

Hawke got a chance to breathe and ran to where Castine was calling for help, but it was too late.

Kastin lay in the trench, blood flowing from the wounds that tore her body and soaking her uniform. There were several corpses of Orc Boys and Grots lying around.

"No, Castine." Hawke shook his head, his eyes a little moist.

Kastin is a considerate girl who can get along well with anyone. She is positive, courageous and full of infinite loyalty to the emperor.

He longed to fight for the Emperor and the Lord of Ultramar, but died in the first battle.

They had just arranged to go drinking together.

Now, she has become a cold corpse.

"Hurry up and follow the Primaris Space Marines to launch a counterattack. Soldier, don't feel sorry for the deceased. She has fulfilled her oath and mission."

The squadron leader's voice came.
Chapter completed!
