Star Survival: The Rise of the Fourth Scourge

"This is the No. 1 boat. There is a sparse forest at 11 o'clock. There is an open space in the forest, which is a good landing point."

"Understood. Please pay attention to all boats and follow the No. 1 boat to land."

Five "V3" transport boats flew over the mountains one after another and headed straight into the jungle outside.

With the roar of engines, five "V3" transport boats slowly landed in a clearing in the forest.

The strong air current lifted up a piece of turf and flew everywhere.

As the hatch at the rear of the transport ship opened, several Tech-Priests walked out of the transport ship surrounded by Astra Militarum soldiers.

Scientific research work has officially begun.

In the coming months, the Tech-Priests will analyze the planet's vegetation, water, and rocks.

"Each team dispersed and stood guard two hundred meters away from the landing point."

This planet seems to have a rich ecosystem, and there may be powerful predators in the forest.

Following Payne's order, the Astra Militarum soldiers who left the boat dispersed in all directions.

Five "V3" transport boats, a total of one hundred soldiers landed on the planet, ten teams.

The equipment of the Astra Militarum is quite sophisticated, and the carapace combat uniform has certain protective capabilities.

Because it is fully enclosed and has a constant temperature system inside, the helmet also has various sensing devices.

It can assist in analyzing external things and assist in aiming when using weapons.

There is also a micro auxiliary power unit.

Due to the energy required to maintain the electronic systems inside the combat suit.

Therefore, each soldier carries a backpack on his back.

That is an energy battery, which can not only power the electronic system functions of the combat suit, but also charge the laser rifle in the hand.

In order to enhance the combat effectiveness of the Astra Militarum, the equipment of the Astra Militarum soldiers has been upgraded.

The entire combat uniform looks like a pair of silver-gray miniature power armor.

The laser rifle in hand has also been improved.

Although it consumes more energy, it is also more powerful.

With a battery backpack, the magazine can be recharged anytime and anywhere, and the energy supply problem is well solved.

The new empire is not like the empire of the old era. It has a huge population base and soldiers have become expendable.

There is no need for sophisticated equipment, it just needs to be cheap enough and sufficient.

But not the new empire. Due to the sparse population, the life of every soldier is precious.

In order to reduce losses in battle, one can only think of ways to improve equipment.

As one of the few officers in the Astra Militarum with the rank of captain, Payne followed Colonel Mullen in this exploration operation.

He is a restless person.

Watching the team disperse, Pine squatted down and grabbed a handful of dirt on the ground.

The ecological environment of this planet is simply perfect.

It is exactly the same as the planet Terra recorded in ancient history.

A long time ago, Terra was also a blue planet.

There are oceans, forests, deserts, and mountains above.

With the development of the times, the surface of the planet Terra was gradually covered by metal cities.

Eventually, the planet Terra turned into a metal ball.

The forests and oceans that once existed have disappeared one by one.

He looked up again and looked at the surrounding woods.

The vegetation also gave Pine a sense of déjà vu.

"Come on, we found a lot of mushrooms in the forest."

A report from a certain team entering the forest suddenly sounded on the communicator.

This made Pine frown slightly.

I just discovered a mushroom, do I need to report it?

Did the soldiers discover something unusual?

"Is there anything worthy of attention?"

"Yes, the sensing device discovered that there are life fluctuations underground, which seem to be connected to the mushrooms."

A living being connected to a mushroom?

Pine asked, "Wait, I'll be right over."

The report found the third team.

On the helmet's display, there is the location of the third team.

Hurrying away from the landing point, Pine entered the forest and found the third team.

In a huge group of mushrooms, Pine found the third team.

They were looking curiously at the mushroom, which was as tall as one person.

The mushrooms are green and look a bit weird.

Pine was also startled by the overwhelming amount of mushrooms in the forest.

"What is this?"

At this moment, an exclamation suddenly came from the communicator.

"Kill them quickly..."

There were whispers in the communicator.

In the northern forest, the red beam of the laser gun is shining.

"Team 4, what happened?"

On the helmet's display, Pine noticed that the members of the fourth team were quickly gathering and retreating towards the landing point.

"Captain Pine, found small goblin creatures similar to Ork barbarians."

Orks?

Pine's face changed slightly. Those greenskins who can't be killed haven't been exterminated yet?

"Roar……"

At this moment, there were roars in the nearby forest.

The powerful roar was deafening.

"Bang..."

A mushroom as tall as a person in front of him shattered.

Tall green-skinned figures appeared in Pine's eyes.

They were running rampant, waving all kinds of cold weapons in their hands.

There are axes, sledgehammers, and even some weapons made from bones.

Orks?

Although Pine has never fought an orc.

But in the imperial textbooks, he had seen information about greenskins.

That is an extremely terrifying race, spread all over the galaxy, and endlessly killing them.

The Ork barbarians have an extremely savage fanaticism for war.

They are simply a race born for war.

Wherever it went, it brought war to thousands of worlds.

"Fire and kill them!"

Soldiers from the third squad opened fire.

They held laser rifles, raised their muzzles, and pulled the triggers.

Red beams of light swept across the forest ahead like raindrops.

One man's devil, all the orcs' bodies were pierced.

In the roar, one by one the orcs fell in the hail of bullets.

But they were so numerous that black and green figures swarmed out of the forest.

Even if their companions in front were harvested in pieces by laser beams, they did not escape.

"It's the Orks, Captain Pine, discovered the Orks."

Beasts roared in the forest around the landing point.

The scattered teams were attacked by orcs one after another.

Listen to the reports from each team on the communicator.

The look on Pine's face was gloomy.

I don't know how many years have passed, but I didn't expect to encounter Ork barbarians on this planet.

Fortunately, they are still in a relatively primitive stage, and their weapons are all cold weapons.

"Retreat, each team will retreat immediately and assemble at the landing point."

"Attention transport boat pilots, we need your fire support."

Following Pine's order, teams from all sides fought and retreated.

After a while, small groups of soldiers appeared in the surrounding forest.

They retreated and fired wildly into the forest with their guns.

Red beams of light swept across the forest like raindrops.

Everywhere it passed, trees and orcs were pierced.

Looking into the forest, a large number of green figures over two meters tall roared out of the forest.

Their bodies are very strong and give people a very powerful feeling.
