Warhammer 40: Saviors Emerging from the Bottom

At the temporary anchorage of the starport, twenty Imperial warships stood ready to depart, prepared to destroy the devastating weapon on the battle moon as planned.

A speech by the leader before departure is essential.

"We have only one objective: to destroy the aliens' weapons of mass destruction. Do not linger in battle. If the situation becomes unfavorable, retreat immediately, preserve our strength, and wait for the next opportunity."

After Xiao Yi finished speaking, the other captains responded in unison over the communication channel, "Understood!"

"In that case, let's set off."

The old knight Valerian was in charge of the specific command of this operation. Only he could overwhelm the other captains in terms of status and ability, making them willingly obey orders.

As for Xiao Yi, he came here to learn.

In the future, there might be a situation where he needs to personally command the fleet in battle, so learning in advance will prevent him from being caught off guard.

After completing the final checks before departure, the twenty Imperial warships flew toward the green-skinned combat moon hanging above the starport.

The Orks, caught in the midst of a civil war, had almost abandoned their air defenses, so the Imperial fleet encountered virtually no resistance as it reached the psionic shields surrounding the Battle Moon.

Atlach Magnus's warships can teleport short distances, passing through shields and directly into the Battle Moon.

But the warships of other imperial worlds couldn't do that, so Valerian chose to break through the defenses by force.

At the forefront, the Fearless Lion and two other warships from the Forge World relentlessly unleashed their firepower at the shield that looked barely thicker than an egg.

Under their frenzied attack, a gap large enough for a warship to pass through was quickly blasted open in the shield.

The surrounding shields are slowly moving toward the gap, trying to fill it completely. Before long, the passage that Valerian and his men have painstakingly created will disappear.

Without hesitation, the captains of the Imperial fleets passed through the gap in the previously arranged order, with Valerian's warship, the Fearless Lion, leading the way.

The desolate battleground on the moon is devoid of any vegetation.

Even if some species could survive under these conditions, they would not be able to survive the devastation caused by the green skin.

Looking around, all that could be seen were large craters left by meteorite impacts and all sorts of green-skinned creatures.

Crude, violent, and utterly devoid of beauty.

Through the armored glass of the Fearless Lion, Xiao Yi could clearly see the giant thrusters that powered the Battle Moon.

The exposed energy conduits are intertwined like tree roots, and to make them more secure, the Greenskins created a ring of rock around their roots.

From a distance, these thrusters look like waste volcanoes suddenly emerging from the interior of an asteroid.

Friedrich had calculated the efficiency of the Green Skin propulsion system, but he got stuck on the first step because he couldn't figure out how these devices solved the heat dissipation problem.

Overheating of a giant engine can easily cause an explosion, so when designing such a device, heat dissipation is a priority.

However, the green-skinned tech giants seem to have no awareness of this. They only need to build the propulsion device according to their own ideas, and leave everything else to the two great gods, Gou and Mao.

All I can say is that the technology used by the Green Skins was far too advanced!

Located at the very center of the battle moon is a traction device made of various technological scraps, which is the primary target of the Imperial fleet's operation.

This device can not only capture smaller ships, providing the Greenskins with opportunities for boarding operations, but also serve as a destructive weapon, inflicting devastating damage on larger targets.

In the early stages of the war between humans and the Orks, the Mega Maniacs used traction devices to forcibly rip parts of planetary orbital defense systems off the starports and threw them around like rocks.

It was precisely because of this less-than-pleasant memory that Liu Yi set it as his top priority when formulating his targets.

"Thinking about it carefully, the reason why the scales of victory tipped in favor of humanity is thanks to that nameless green-skinned warlord. If it hadn't come out on its own and challenged us one-on-one, things would have been quite difficult."

Looking at the large weapons on the moon, Xiao Yi sighed.

Just then, the Mechanic, responsible for communications at the front, issued a warning: "A large number of enemy flying units are approaching the fleet. Captains, please be aware!"

It seems that the previous attack on the shield alerted the Greenskins.

After Hograq's death, the four Greenskin leaders who were subordinate to him immediately launched a massive civil war with their men.

The Empire's reconnaissance forces were unable to penetrate the battle-hardened moon, which was teeming with green-skinned creatures, so humanity had no idea what was going on up there.

Judging from the large-scale conflicts that break out from time to time, the war above is not over yet.

However, when faced with the human invasion, the four warlords united as one, which was unusual. Otherwise, the Greenskins would never have been able to send out such a large number of warplanes.

The area in front of the oracles was almost completely filled with tiny red dots, and several green warships followed behind them.

Unlike the green-skinned boys who have nowhere to run on land, most of the green-skinned boys who own warships choose to run away immediately after learning that their leader has been defeated and killed.

Staying here would only make them targets of the Imperial fleet. Their inferior warships couldn't even defeat the combined fleet assembled by Xiao Yi, let alone Atlas Magnus's heavy cruisers.

To put it bluntly, it's all about survival.

The remaining small group will stay, not because they are particularly brave, but simply because they don't know the pain until they are hit by the stick.

These greenskin captains still retain a certain degree of independence, and they will not easily obey the orders of other greenskin leaders until a new war boss is born.

Therefore, the main force facing the invasion of the Imperial fleet consisted of green-skinned pilots flying inferior warplanes.

"Waaaagh!"

The powerful roar pierced through the armored glass of the Fearless Lion and reached Xiao Yi's ears.

Very energetic!

But that alone is not enough to contend with the Empire's fleet.

Valerian's eyes were fixed on the oracles in front of him, calculating the distance between them.

Once the green-skinned air force entered the range of the light spears and torpedoes, he immediately ordered over the communications channel: "Coverage fire strike!"

Torpedoes and light spears instantly cleared a section of airspace in front of the fleet, and the hit aircraft were destroyed. Even so, the green-skinned pilots showed no intention of retreating.

"Their fighting spirit is quite strong, but unfortunately it's not very useful!"

Valerian's lips curled into a cruel smile. To humans, a dead greenskin is a good greenskin.
