Dante didn't have much polite words afterwards, so he went straight to the point.
"The situation is not optimistic. We have achieved some victory over the Greenskin, compressed them on the main continent, but cannot shake the root cause. They are still huge and have huge war machines. We suffer from insufficient air force and cannot completely limit the Greenskin's activities.
We also continued to attack and harass us from the equatorial jungle, which restrained many of our troops."
Then, Dante brought up a holographic map and Randall began to introduce it in detail.
"All the nests on the main continent have fallen, and only two nests are still insisting on them. Hades and Hair Ricks. Hades is the political commissar of Arrek. He organized the defensive force here. It is said that he and many bandits in the nest have reached an agreement to jointly defend the nest. What's amazing is that he really organized a ragged army. The continuous shelling and attack of green skins did not occupy there, but the city's supplies have been exhausted, and people rely on eating mice and insects to survive."
"It's not easy, this political commissar is a talent."
Dante sighed and gave a mortal a very high evaluation. The nearby scribe quickly recorded it. Such things are rare.
"Yes, it is said that the Greenskin warlord... According to the information, it seemed to be called the Bone Brokener. It once personally directed the offensive against Hades's Nest. The Greenskins tried all the tactics that could be imagined, such as airborne elite commandos to the top of the Nest, transferring super siege artillery, and even installing ground-shaking devices on the super giant Gangat. But every time the Political Commissar of Arik could find a response, and he asked the pipe repairman to sneak into the ventilation pipe with a hot melt welding gun to ambush the Greenskin commando, transforming all the public transportation vehicles in the Nest into suicide attack weapons to destroy Greenskin's siege weapons."
"Where is Hailes Ricky?"
"Hairsrich's resistance was also firm. From the commander to the citizens, they all swore to defend to the end. They were inspired by Hades's Crown Capital, adopted the tactic of luring the enemy, abandoned the outer city, and instead ambushed Green Skin in the complex Crown Capital Street. The street fighting between the two sides was extremely cruel. It is said that there were 100,000 casualties every day. The remaining super-heavy tanks in the city were converted into transport vehicles to evacuate the crowd to the military port. However, due to insufficient vehicles, many civilians chose to stay on the front line. They used their own weapons, tied explosives on their bodies and rushed into the orc positions and then detonated. The driver of the giant crane welded the cockpit door to death and fought a desperate battle with Gangat. However, it is said that Green Skin stepped up the siege of the Crown Capital and mobilized a large number of psychics."
"Amyddoton deserves to be a heroic land. The people here are strong and determined, so we cannot hesitate."
Dante turned to his sermon.
"The original plan to take a day off was changed, and everyone only had 10 hours."
"yes."
Dante walked to the map and carefully looked at the terrain of Amyddoton.
"From the position, if Helsrich is the largest port in Armigdon, if it is held, it will be very conducive to the mobilization of subsequent troops."
Then he turned and looked at Randall.
"What do you think?"
"Yes, Hales Ricky is indeed more important, but Hades' Nest has attracted a large number of Greenskin troops. We lose either of them, which may lead to further collapse of the situation."
"When we mentioned the issue of air supremacy, we are also here with us this time. Why don't we open the gap in the air first?"
"It's the best, once air supremacy is regained, we can make the most of air transport to support both nests."
"That's what it's decided to suppress the green-skinned air force first, and then support both nests at the same time."
Ten hours later, the Empire-led counterattack began.
First, there is a large-scale orbital bombing, mainly targeting the outer positions of the Greenskin Siege and the determined location of the Greenskin Airport.
Just as the Amydodon track was filled with light spears and rail artillery fire, the HNA pilots of the 119th battle group affiliated to the Imperial Navy rushed towards their fighter planes, and the fighter formation of the Holy Blood Angels began to warm up.
According to the plan, in order to ensure the state of the fighter jets, they will all enter the atmosphere through transport aircraft. The first batch of transport aircraft in the atmosphere will pass through the combat zone and enter the low outer atmosphere of Amyddoton under the cover of Thunderhawks and Storm Crows. The fighter formations in the transport ship will be divided into two batches to fight: the Raider Bombers will bomb Greenskin's siege position as the first attack wave, destroying the ground defense systems and war machines there, a blitzkrieg squadron will provide cover for them, and the other Raider Bomber Formation will rush to Halesrige and destroy Greenskin's offensive under the cover of the fighter jets.
The plan was smooth at first, the transport ship's void shield was engulfed by fire, the plasma ejected by the spacecraft and the planet's gravity fought against each other, and eventually they arrived at the upper thermoionosphere of the planet.
The airlock on the hull then opened, showing one series of aircraft after another, launch rails and gravity brackets extending towards the thin upper atmosphere of Amyddoton, and then hundreds of Imperial fighters and bombers whistled towards the world below.
Green skin was obviously not unprepared. When the air strike came, various anti-aircraft guns and missiles poured fire into the sky.
Some Imperial aircraft were overturned by explosions or were hit by ground artillery fire, but most of the fighters still rushed towards the target under the cover of orbital fire.
The blitz fighter circled around the edge of the bomber group, and the pilots adopted a standard Skyhawk attack formation. Below them were three squadrons of Raider bombers, which bombed the ground at an altitude of several kilometers from the ground.
At the same time, green-skinned counterattacks followed one after another, and various strange-shaped fighter jets appeared from the hidden wasteland airport, and their red shells were particularly eye-catching in the sun.
A cruel air battle broke out.
Just as thousands of fighters were trapped in a fight, the Raider Bomber began its final sprint.
At the edge of Hailes Ricky's nest, anti-aircraft guns straited the sky. Green skin used tracer bullets poured out from the captured Hydra air defense vehicle, accompanied by the bright flash of the laser cannon, and together with the missiles, they smashed towards the attacking bomber group.
The raiders advanced forward like flying tanks with fierce firepower. Their shells were blasted and the air around them was filled with explosions. Some were hit by missiles, and others were cut in half by lasers. But most of the bombers were already buzzing over the city.
Then dozens of bomb hatches opened in perfect synchronization, and thousands of tons of guided bombs and cluster bombs hit the green-skinned area like raindrops.
The drought-hot port city changed in an instant, with the dust-covered imperial buildings and adobe blocks engulfed by flames, and the attack lasted for a long time until the entire outer area of the city almost turned into burning ruins.
