The strongest astral army in Warhammer 40K

Chapter 196 The Surprise Attack "Operation"

“I don’t think assassinating the orc war leader would be very effective!” Russell offered his opinion.

“Didn’t you just say it was a good plan?” Aksu frowned.

Russell chuckled and said: "There are just too many war leaders among the orcs now. Unless we can find the biggest one, but even that kind of opponent is beyond our capabilities."

Aksu fell silent and into deep thought. After a long while, he finally said: "Then what do you think we should do?"

Russell replied without hesitation: "Just destroy the orcs' war factory. I think that's a better approach."

"That's even less reliable!" Company Commander Aksu immediately rejected Russell's suggestion.

"I think we should just carry out a decapitation strike..." Company Commander Aksu's voice trailed off as he spoke, then he paused for a moment and said, "Your suggestion is worth considering. What do you think, Political Commissar Arek?"

Commissar Arek thought for a moment and said: I can't judge.

"Russell, can you explain this plan in detail?" Seeing that Political Commissar Arek couldn't explain it clearly, Company Commander Aksu asked Russell to elaborate.

"I encountered something similar in the Oaktalius sector a few years ago. Back then, a group of Raven Guards, led by a Super Raven Guard, were trying to stop the Orcs by constantly destroying their War Factories. Finding the Orc War Leader among the Orcs is not an easy task, but finding the Orc War Factories is much easier."

After Russell finished speaking, Company Commander Aksu pondered for a moment and said: "In any case, this suggestion is worth a try. However, before we organize the attack, we need to find out exactly how many orc war factories there are in this world."

…………

It is not difficult to find out how many "war factories" the orcs have built.

“I’ve investigated thoroughly. There are currently five orc war factories in the world, one of which is a super war factory where many enormous war machines are being manufactured,” Aksu said excitedly.

He now realizes that destroying the orcs' war factory is far more significant than killing an ordinary orc war leader.

“Then let’s start with this super war factory!” Russell thought this was the most suitable option.

"That's what I think too!" Aksu agreed.

“Although the War Factory is a larger target and its defenses must be very tight, we must go all out to have any chance of success!” Commissar Arek said.

After a period of discussion, they formulated an attack plan.

There were approximately hundreds of huge chimneys constantly spewing out thick black smoke.

Huge production workshops were built amidst the mountains, and powerful orc war machines were being manufactured.

This is the orcs' super war factory, and it's the target they want to destroy.

The defenses here are far superior to those of the orc world. To better protect this super war factory, the orc warlords built a tall steel wall, which was covered with anti-aircraft artillery. Outside the steel wall, an elite orc legion was stationed.

At night, all around was quiet.

Several orc warriors were sitting around a campfire listening to an older orc warrior tell a story.

If you listen carefully, you'll hear that the elderly orc warrior is telling the story of the orc prophet "Bonecrusher".

This "Bonecrusher" is extremely famous among the orcs. He is known as the Prophet, the spokesperson for the orcs, and the leader of all orcs.

The orc warriors listened intently, completely forgetting to pay attention to their surroundings.

A dark figure peeked out from behind a large tree; it was Russell.

After careful observation, Russell realized that now was the perfect time to attack.

"Attack!" Russell growled.

Dozens of dark figures rushed out of the darkness and pounced on the orc warrior.

An orc warrior suddenly sensed something was wrong. Just as it was about to turn around to take a look, its head was already flying away.

Russell immediately beheaded it.

Their raid was a great success; the orc sentries made no sound.

Leos, carrying the head of an orc warrior, approached Russell and asked, "My lord, what should we do with these orc corpses?"

"Put those heads back on and let them sit here and listen to the story. Also, have a few people guard the fire so it doesn't go out."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right now!"

Russell guessed that the orc watchers on the orc fortress were mainly observing these campfires, which was why they were arranged this way.

Russell led a dozen or so Kashejin warriors and quietly approached the city gate.

What they had to do was blow open the city gates and then launch a surprise attack on Aksu. The company commander would lead his men in a surprise attack.

"Boom" a loud noise.

The simple city gate was blown to pieces.

"Charge in!" Russell roared and was the first to rush in.

The orcs inside the fortress were stunned by the explosion. They didn't understand what was happening. The sentries hadn't sent any messages, so how could the city gate have been blown up?

After the city gates were blown open, Aksu led the Space Marines in.

The Space Marines charged forward at full firepower.

The Stormblaster opened fire wildly, and any orc who dared to stand in their way was blasted to pieces.

Kashejin warriors, the Astral Army, followed closely behind and advanced inward.

Countless orc warriors perished in this raid, and Aksu and his men quickly broke through the fortress and reached the Iron Wall.

Aksu raised the Storm Assault Gun in his left hand and bombarded the wall.

After a dozen or so shots, a large hole was finally blasted in the wall.

Aksu was the first to rush in.

Aksu was hit by a cannonball as soon as it rushed in.

After a loud "boom", the shell exploded on Aksu. Although the defensive force field blocked most of the damage, the huge shock still threw him into the air.

Countless orc warriors charged forward, wielding heavy weapons.

While they were launching a full-scale attack on the fortress, the orc guards in the War Factory had already been mobilized.

Although Aksu was blown away, another Terminator rushed in, this Terminator wielding a Storm Shield.

Instead of thinking about how to attack, he raised his shield to block the way so that the soldiers behind him could pass through one after another.

The barrage of firepower, like a raging storm, instantly overwhelmed him. The sturdy Storm Shield did not last long under such intense firepower and was shattered into pieces.

Fortunately, there was enough time, and the raider squad rushed in and launched a counterattack against the orc warriors.

Aksu pushed his power to the limit and charged towards the orc warriors like a cannonball.

More than a dozen orc warriors were knocked to the ground.

The power axe, gleaming with blue flames, unleashed powerful slashes, each one cleaving the orc warrior into pieces along with the weapon.
