Chapter 429, Landing
Fear? Of course they were. When the huge fleet appeared in outer space, even if they were standing on the planet, they could clearly see the shadow cast from outside the planet.
It was one-sided and difficult to fight back until they were defeated miserably. When these fleets appeared, they curled up in the planet in fear. But even so, no temple priest chose to give up, surrender, or anything else.
How to say it? The current Rat Empire needs a traitor. Shenqi Star is special. This is a special planet. Even Qi admits this.
Even though the Soul Scream is not very destructive to the planet, no one dares to make the decision to drop such a weapon on Shenqi Star. This gives these temple priests a chance to breathe. Even if they want to land on Shenqi Star, the best and last resort will probably be the landing war.
Those temple priests did not choose to surrender. This is a very understandable problem. They could not let go. They were entangled by the curse of eternal life. They could not face death calmly, and could not give up the power after eternal life. They were a group of ghouls, a group of ghouls who could not see clearly.
Until now, they were still shouting, united together, guarding their graves filled with rotten smell. All the guys in the Ratman Empire who were qualified to watch the situation at this time could easily draw a conclusion, that is, these temple priests had already lost, and there was no possibility of turning back. It was only they themselves who could not see clearly, or were unwilling to see clearly.
The general attack on Shenqi Star did not start so quickly. After completely seizing the initiative by blocking the starport of Shenqi Star, the soul moon of the death comet, and the outer space, this war was no longer so urgent. The commander who had just taken office began to wait and was not prepared to deploy the ground troops of the Second Expeditionary Fleet. These guys were expensive elite soldiers and should not be deployed in this meat grinder-like battlefield.
The thinking of these professional captains was different from that of the previous rat warlords. They no longer pursued glory, and they would not wantonly wield the power in their hands. Smaller casualties, better combat damage ratio, and greater gains were what they pursued, like a group of shrewd businessmen. Although this was understandable, after all, even with the disorderly proliferating industrial power of the rats, they could not create a fleet of rats from the dock starport.
These increasingly complex and huge weapons can no longer be fast. The personnel, operators, and even the rat-man lineage on the warships need to be selected. It is no longer like before. Just sort out a rat-man city with a road opened, and a large number of rat-man will continue to flow into the army, and then you can sway them at will.
Of course, in fact, such a situation is not uncommon now, such as the planetary guards, or the Imperial Army, they still bear such responsibilities. Now, the commander of the second rat-man expedition fleet is waiting for these guys to take their positions.
The situation is different from before. I dare not think about it. If these rat-man generals knew that they were going to attack or recover the Shenqi Star, even the underground rat city was included in this sequence, how excited they would be, I am afraid they would jump up with joy, and then they would be impatient and keep screaming, pressing all the power in their hands at all costs, and rushing forward in a piece of chaos.
While waiting, the planet guards arrived. These guys who had undergone simple training were loaded into transport ships and transported here from the other six planets of the rat people. They were not directly dropped, but stopped around the second expedition fleet of the rat people. The newly appointed commander was looking for a suitable landing site. Shenqi Star, Scarlet Grassland, this is a desolate Gobi, yellow land, dry shrubs, and the wide abandoned road. This is the former Scarlet Grassland. Once, when the rat people just started to move towards the starry sky, this grassland generously gave the first wave of funds. The only giant iron ore vein on Shenqi Star was found in the depths of the Scarlet Grassland.
This giant ore vein contributed to the Gobiization of the Scarlet Grassland. At that time, the rat people who were frantically launching spacecrafts outward were eager for quick success and violently mined this giant ore vein, which also made this grassland, which was dyed red by the rat people, completely degraded into a Gobi desert.
Now, this giant mineral vein has completely entered a semi-exhausted state. There are only large and small mine tunnels, huge mine caves, abandoned industrial cities, and the group of goblins left on this grassland. Perhaps because of the desolation here, it was chosen by the commander of the second expeditionary fleet as the landing site.
At the scheduled time, a huge fleet of warships pressed towards Shenqi Star. The various fortress cannons that were placed by the temple priests began to fire deterrently. A large number of small warships were released by the flagship. They shuttled at high speed in outer space, leaving streaks of light, and suddenly plunged into the Shenqi Star in front of them.
A group of small warships also rose on Shenqi Star. These small warships were far from being wiped out. When he realized that it was impossible to do anything, the rat commander on the star port did not hesitate to return to Shenqi Star with these small ships.
It was a pity that his good intentions were not recognized by the temple priests. He was regarded as a coward who was afraid of fighting and hanged in front of the bright and magnificent temple. Yes, this group of temple priests rebuilt the temple again. After the collapse of the New Holy City, this was almost the first thing they did. Obviously, they were a group of betrayers and cowards, but the first thing they built was still the temple.
These small ships that took off from the Shenqi Star were entangled with those guys who broke in from outer space. The fierce exchange of fire in the atmosphere ensured that the air supremacy was not completely lost. For a while, relying on the support of the ground fortress, they actually fought back and forth.
It was a pity that they did not dominate the outer space of Shenqi Star at all. When these small warships dispatched from the Second Expeditionary Fleet were bitten, they only needed to pull up and directly leave the atmosphere of Shenqi Star, then there would be no problem at all. On the contrary, if these warships taking off from Shenqi Star dared to leave the atmosphere, they would face the fatal attack from the Second Expeditionary Fleet.
This pulling created an opportunity for the landing of the Planet Guard.
