Chapter 685: Cleaning the battlefield
"Master, are you okay?"
A clear and pleasant sound rang in my ears.
Without waiting for the reminder in his mind to finish, Fu Qinghai suddenly woke up from the trance and dullness brought by the transmission, and immediately turned to the surrounding mortal crew members and shouted:
"Medical deck ready!"
Without the commander's orders, the surrounding servants of the regiments rushed forward, some driving ground vehicles, some commanding engineering servitors, and began to race against time to drag the Terminator lying on the transport block. Without the assistance of these engineering vehicles, mortals could not move the iron pagoda Terminator weighing several tons. The Space Marine automatic medical platform in the medical deck was also ready, and anyone with a head left could be saved.
"Where's Tristan?"
Fu Qinghai then issued the second order:
"No matter where he is, tell him to come here immediately!"
"Okay, master."
The mechanical girl turned around and went to pass on the message.
"Contact the Storm Lords' Battle Barge."
Fu Qinghai said as he walked down the teleportation block:
"Ask them how Targujin Khan is doing."
"Understood, Khan."
A chapter servant turned and left in a hurry.
Soon, a communications officer trotted over, caught up with Fu Qinghai, and reported in a low voice:
"Khan, the battle barge Storm's Fury has sent a reply. Targujin Khan has been successfully teleported back to the battle barge's teleportation deck, but... there is only a headless corpse."
"Tsk..."
Fu Qinghai raised his hand, pinched his brow and said:
"Tell them to hand over the body to us and tell them that we have a way to revive Targukin, provided we can find his head on the battlefield... As for Tristan, have him leave the battle immediately and talk to me."
A communications servo skull floated beside him. After the blue light in its eye sockets briefly flickered a few times, the metal skull opened its jaw and a long, hidden voice rang out from the speaker:
"Khan, what do you want?"
The voice of the Word Bearers Paladin was filled with noisy electrical interference, indicating the instability of the signal, and from time to time there were explosions from the main gun firing and the screams of energy weapons.
"How much holy light magic do you have left?"
Fu Qinghai asked straight to the point:
"Is it enough to cast a resurrection spell?"
"If it's just once, it's fine."
Tristan replied cautiously.
"Very good, hand over your work to others, leave the battle immediately and go to the satellite core with me. By the way, tell the three chapter commanders commanding at the front line: the gate has been blown up, the beast is dead, and there will be no more support from the orcs. Speed up the attack and eliminate all remaining orcs!"
Fu Qinghai said in a firm tone.
"Understood, Khan!"
Tristan answered, beating his chest excitedly.
When he heard this order, he knew:
The Chapter Master's plan was successful.
……
The key to the Orks' ability to resist the Space Marines and even launch a counterattack is the gate that can continuously transport reinforcements. Once the gate is destroyed, no matter how many Orks are left in the depths of the satellite, they will inevitably be destroyed. Defeat is only a matter of time. What's more, the beast was accidentally killed in the explosion of the gate. The Orks lost their command center and the source of courage, and they were defeated and retreated completely.
Yes, unexpected.
Fu Qinghai concluded silently in his heart.
It was an accident that he was able to kill the beast.
Afterwards, objectively evaluating, all the Space Marines who participated in this flanking raid did not have the conditions and ability to kill the beast. Fu Qinghai's final blow did not cause fatal damage to the beast. What really killed the beast was the gravity disorder caused by the explosion of the gate. Fu Qinghai saw it clearly at the last moment of the teleportation.
The beast's chest was squeezed by an invisible force and almost turned into a thin piece of paper. The Blue Fang Chainsaw Sword happened to be inserted into its chest at that time. True Adamantium alloy has no other properties, but pure hardness, so hard that even gravity disturbance can't make it deform at all, so it accidentally completed the last fatal blow to the beast.
However, the reincarnation world still attributed most of the credit for killing the beast to Fu Qinghai.
【You killed a beast! 】
[Bonus assimilation points...17734 points! ]
In fact, there is nothing wrong with this calculation. After all, the hot melt bomb and micro-nuclear bomb that destroyed the gate were also placed by Fu Qinghai and his men. It was just that they did not expect the chain reaction caused by the explosion to kill the beast. Luck was not on the side of the Orks, and this was an unexpected result.
Chapter Commander Fu Qinghai and Hermit Master Tristan each drove a jet motorcycle and led the Fifth Company Hussar Battalion to take a detour and return to the huge cave deep in the satellite.
In the moment before the teleportation, Fu Qinghai only saw the green fire circle exploding and sweeping across the beast. However, after returning to the cave, he found that the damage and chain reaction caused by the collapse of the gate were even greater than he had imagined.
The entire cave was in a mess, with wreckage of machines emitting black smoke, flames, and sparks scattered everywhere, and three metal corners buried in a pile of twisted green corpses. Under the influence of gravity disorder, these corpses showed all kinds of strange and varied ways of death. Some of the Orks who survived by chance also lost the desire to resist, and wanted to escape but didn't know where to escape.
"Kill them."
Fu Qinghai waved his hand casually, then jumped off the jet bike and walked towards the top of the pile of greenskin corpses. He stopped in front of the largest corpse. The beast's face was gray and hideous, frozen in the last second before death. Its chest was like an empty can flattened by a hydraulic press, and the Blue Fang Chainsaw Sword was still stuck there.
Fu Qinghai raised his hand to hold the hilt and tried to pull it out, but found that the saw teeth were firmly stuck in the dense armor and flesh and bones that were pressed into a pancake. So he rubbed the slider on the hilt with his thumb, and the chain saw sword suddenly rotated, and the curved hook saw teeth turned into a blurred edge, and then he pulled it out smoothly.
"Khan, found it!"
Suddenly, I heard my subordinates shouting in surprise.
Fu Qinghai turned his head and saw a Space Marine standing not far from the beast's body, holding high in his hand the head of a Space Marine wearing a helmet. Under the helmet were still hanging broken flesh wrapped in scarlet blood, spinal joints and white trachea, which showed how violently the head was pulled off from the shoulders.
The head of Targujin Khan.
The helmet is in perfect shape with no dents.
The brain should be intact.
There is no need to perform resurrection, the medical platform is enough.
Fu Qinghai breathed a sigh of relief and immediately gave the order:
"You guys send his head back to the medical deck first."
"Yes, Khan!"
The two Space Marines turned and walked away hastily.
"Crack, crack, boom, boom..."
At this moment, the armored clusters of the seven regiments also eliminated the remaining orc troops in the main passage, and various chariots, tanks and knight mechas rumbled into the cave.
Looking at Qingshan Khan standing on top of the pile of corpses with a chainsaw sword in his hand, stepping on a super giant orc corpse that was as big as a knight mecha, the Space Marines of the seven regiments were all shocked and awed by this scene.
The three commanders of the Berserker, Destroyer, and Plunderer got out of a Damocles-type Rhino command vehicle, took off their helmets and held them at their sides, came to the foot of the mountain of corpses, looked up at Fu Qinghai, pounded their chests and saluted, and said respectfully:
"Mission accomplished, Commander Qingshan."
Fu Qinghai nodded, picked up his sword and walked down the pile of corpses.
"Congratulations on conquering a battle moon."
The Destroyer Chapter Master then praised:
"And hunted the biggest orc ever!"
"Thanks, but it's not me, it's us."
Fu Qinghai nodded, thanked him and corrected him.
"You should saw off its head and bring it back to decorate your flagship. It is the most gorgeous decoration."
The Marauder Chapter Master gave a reminder and suggestion.
"I will."
Fu Qinghai nodded in agreement.
The White Scars have always had a "barbaric tradition" of using enemy body parts as trophies and decorations. There is a huge orc head in Ogedei's weapon room, but it is far inferior to the giant head of the beast.
Fu Qinghai did not kill the beast alone. Fu Qinghai was also thinking about how to distribute the beast's body parts: I will take the head, and the remaining limbs, feet and weapons can be distributed to Mandulatu, Targukin and Jeb.
The other two captains were teleported back to their respective flagships, both of them were seriously injured and unconscious, and the Sassan meninges activated the suspended animation state. Mandulatu's two hearts and lungs were crushed, and half of Jeb Khan's body was torn apart.
However, for the Space Marines' automated medical platforms, these horrific fatal injuries were actually not a big deal. Currently, all seriously injured Space Marines were receiving treatment on the medical decks of the Iron Pagoda's battleships and cruisers.
"Clean up the battlefield, eliminate the remaining orcs, and purify the Ork spores. This is the first battle moon we have captured. It has great reference value and must be disassembled and studied carefully."
Fu Qinghai immediately gave the order.
His mind was very clear, and he did not indulge in the illusory satisfaction of making achievements and winning honors. This is only the first battle moon, how far is it? The original book does not say how many battle moons appeared during the entire Beast War, but it has been confirmed that there will be no less than six, and possibly even more. The Legion has only achieved a phased victory.
After the battle with the Orks, it is necessary to purify the battlefield. This is common sense in the Warhammer 40K universe. Otherwise, mushrooms may grow in the corners after being exposed to light.
It is important to note here that not all places where the Orks pass through will see new Orcs appear, and the Orks' ability to reproduce and spread is not as exaggerated as rumored.
First of all, ork spores grow and develop through photosynthesis, which means they need light. Ork spores cannot reproduce in places without stars or underground spaces where stars cannot shine. Secondly, even if there are stars in this place, but the surface resources are scarce, lacking water or organic matter, then at most some small ork subspecies, such as Squiggle, will be born in the mushrooms, and normal orcs cannot be born.
When it comes to cleaning up battlefields, Tiefutu is a professional.
The technical sergeant began to command the warband servants and the servitor slaves to drag and clean up the greenskin corpses, and dismantle the Ork machines buried in the corpses for research. Generally speaking, the Ork orcs' technological creations are secondary processing and reuse of fragments of other races' technological creations, and have little research value. But at the level of the battle moon, Ork technology shows a unique value that other races do not have.
Planetary-scale gravity weapon.
Very large range of electromagnetic interference.
Planet teleportation technology that ignores the galaxy's gravitational field.
A permanent teleportation facility that is as efficient as the Webway Gate.
These are technologies that other races have not mastered.
The Orks are the best example of the phrase "quantity changes lead to qualitative changes" in the Warhammer 40K universe. Once the number of Orks reaches a certain scale, their size, combat power, and technology will increase exponentially. God knows what kind of magical code the Old Ones wrote in the Orks' genetic chain.
All the technical sergeants of the entire warband, as well as the technical priests who went on the expedition with the ship, now went into the interior of the battle moon and began to study the various technological facilities in the battle moon. The warband servants commanded the mechanical servants to start carrying the orc corpses. These massive green-skinned corpses would be put into the grooves of the water of life to make new water of life.
That's right, the current Iron Pagoda Corps doesn't even spare corpses. When the water of life is electrified with high voltage, it will transform other life substances in the water into water of life, whether animals, plants, bacteria or fungi. These life substances are everywhere on a habitable planet and are not rare, but once the fleet leaves the port and sails into space, everything becomes a resource.
Even corpses are resources.
"The Iron Broom Regiment really lives up to its reputation."
The Marauder Chapter Master was choking with gritted teeth as he watched.
I feel that the other party is the real "predator".
His regiment is just a name in name only.
"I have also heard of their legends. It is hard to imagine the fear their enemies will have when facing them. Just think about it, if you are defeated in the battle, not even your body will be left. They even use the spoils more than the Death Skull Clan among the orcs - at least the Death Skull Clan is not interested in the corpses of their enemies. This is really terrifying."
The Destroyer Chapter Leader shook his head and sighed.
"Perhaps this is why the Iron Pagoda is so powerful."
The Berserker Chapter Master said with deep conviction.
