Chapter 640: So Stupid

Lefo star field.

The main fleet on the northern front is gathering.

Marshal Le Roy, commander-in-chief of the theater, was holding an important military meeting here.

Huge and decisive advances had been made on the northern front.

At least, that's what Leroy reported to Holy Terra.

He wasn't really lying.

From the beginning, the northern battlefield was not given much attention, and was only slightly stronger than the southern battlefield. At the beginning of the Ironclad Rebellion, the Empire actually relied on the Phoenix Regiment on the western front. Later, the Phoenix Regiment collapsed, and Holy Terra put a lot of effort into forming a large army, and even sent out the most powerful regiment, Ortopis, together with the Solar Fleet and the Solar Auxiliary Army, to form a large army to reconstruct the western front army.

In contrast, the northern route received less support.

At the beginning, the northern line and the southern line, like Gu Hang, were just local troops formed in the local area.

Unlike the southern front, the Iron Armor's invasion of the Devouring Stars Domain was much more fierce than their attack on the Eastern Domain. On the one hand, the Devouring Stars Domain deployed its own troops and requested support from several war groups operating in the Devouring Stars Domain. On the other hand, it also quickly sought help from outside.

Both of the founding chapters, the Space Marines and the Bats, accepted the call-up.

Of course, they all had their own reasons for accepting the call-up. The Bats were on Galactus, their home planet. The Infinity Corps accepted the call-up because the one who rebelled was their own child, and it wasn't too far away.

But only one company came from each regiment.

There are not many, and there are reasons for that. The initial war group has a lot of work to do, and it is very busy. They are usually dozens or hundreds of them, scattered in various places throughout the universe, with different tasks. It is already good to be able to spare a full company. Moreover, the equipment level and strength level of the initial war group are all top-notch.

But after all, the number of startup groups is too small, and even the few battle groups within the Star-Swallowing Universe have their own threats to face.

To be honest, the Space Marines raised by the Empire are not raised in vain. They all have jobs to do. The Empire calls for the conscription, the Chapter responds to requests for assistance from all over the world, and the Chapter expands its power to a star field, so naturally they have to protect the safety of the star field. Rebellion, aliens, chaos corruption... all kinds of jobs have to be done.

There were even many chapters whose home planets were placed by the Empire in places with particularly high threats, and the chapters were directly assigned to guard them.

Unless the mother planet is directly threatened with fatal threat, it is difficult for a regiment to concentrate all its forces to do one thing.

Oh, Phoenix, Raging Flame, New World Torch, Blood Shark...these regiments are different.

They have no other work to do but the Alliance's work.

Because of this, there were only a little over a thousand Space Marines gathered at the northern front at the beginning. With such a force, it was barely enough to stabilize the situation in the Devouring Star Realm, and it could only make the situation of retreating step by step less severe.

A counterattack is even more impossible.

Until the Black Crusaders arrived.

Le Roy is the marshal of the Black Crusade's Third Fleet, which not only has a battle barge and two battlecruisers as its main force, but also thousands of Space Marines.

Well... speaking of the topic of "overpopulation", it's hard to say which one is more overpopulated, the Iron Armor or the Black Crusaders. The Black Crusaders have eight expeditionary fleets, each with a thousand Space Marines, but it's hard to say how many "reserve recruits" they have prepared secretly. Anyway, when the Black Crusaders lose troops, they can quickly make up for it.

Their having more children than allowed is legal.

The Holy Scriptures also stipulate that during an expedition, the personnel limit can be exceeded to a certain extent.

The Black Cross is using this law to make their actions legal. As for why other chapters can't do the same... first check whether the name of your chapter is Black Cross.

In addition, the Black Cross did work. Without a home planet, the eight fleets were all over the empire, fighting on the front lines of various battlefields, actively responding to the war calls of various empires, and had almost no bad records.

They are strong, have few conflicts of interest, work enthusiastically, and have good backgrounds...there really is no one who would bother them.

The arrival of the 1,000 men of the Fourth Fleet immediately stabilized the Star-Devouring Universe and even enabled a counterattack.

Until they entered the Lefo Star Region, which was only one step away from the Princess Star Region. Then, they encountered an entire Hive Fleet and were firmly blocked outside.

Until they got reinforcements.

The Inquisition was very interested in the war here and the fact that the Void Zerg would cooperate with Iron Armor's strategy. They sent Inquisitors and also sent Silver Watch Space Marines, elites from various chapters, to participate in the war.

Together with a large number of storm troopers, they constitute the support provided by the anti-foreign order.

Although there are not many Space Marines, there are only three hundred Silver Watch, all of whom are experts in combating Void Zergs; the hundreds of thousands of Stormtroopers led by the Inquisitors are also a force that should not be underestimated.

This also allowed the war on the northern front to begin to move forward with difficulty.

After the Phoenix on the Western Front collapsed, Holy Terra also panicked. Not only did they engage in fierce political struggles internally, they fired Prime Minister Ojuren, put Gallardo on the front line, and quickly reorganized the main force on the Western Front. At the same time, they also looked for people from all sides to reinforce the battlefield.

It was against this backdrop that Gu Hang was able to obtain a wealth of strategic material support on the southern front.

Of course, there were reinforcements on the northern front.

I won’t mention the various troops, the most important one is the Black Crusaders.

They have another expeditionary fleet.

The Black Cross Seventh Fleet joined the battle sequence, and the number of Space Marines active on the northern front directly increased to nearly four thousand, and the fleet was powerful.

Marshal of the Black Crusade's Third Fleet, Mathieu Le Roy, as the commander-in-chief of the northern front, led his legion with great enthusiasm. The previous difficult advancement was changed. Although not unstoppable, the progress was at least rapid.

It is not easy to completely eradicate the insect swarm.

They won a relatively crucial battle, using a planet as a battlefield and turning it into a meat grinder, attracting billions of Zerg and the main force of the Zerg Hive Fleet.

Then, they won the battle and destroyed the main force of the Zerg Hive Fleet, with only a small number escaping; billions of Zerg on the ground were reduced to ashes under a Sky-burning Torpedo.

Although there are still traces of Zerg everywhere in the Lefo star field, Leruva no longer wants to continue to drag his army into this quagmire.

The Zerg Fleet can no longer threaten the main force of the Northern Army, so shouldn't they take this opportunity to directly attack the Princess Star Region?
Before setting off, he needed to hold a military meeting to confirm the thoughts of all parties in the entire legion.

It is true that he is the commander-in-chief, but the composition of the so-called Northern Front Army is so complicated that it is not true that he can do whatever he wants at the command of one person.

However, the first topic of the meeting was not their next strategic and tactical direction, but rather a discussion of the battlefield on the distant southern front and a reply sent to him by Gu Hang.

"That Gu Hang refused the strategy of cooperating with us in advancing from the south and entering the Princess Star Region together?"

"How stupid."
