Traveling through time, I'm making pancakes in Warhammer

Chapter 207 The mission begins

When the Orks defeated the Mechanicus Guards in the Blackwater Section decades ago, a psychic shield beyond ordinary people's cognition was opened at the will of the Orks, covering the entire Blackwater Section, along with the Karenya gold vein below, and making it the Orcs' territory.

This barrier allows orcs to enter and exit freely, but it will repel anything the orcs don't like.

During the years of war with the Orcs, this counterintuitive psychic shield was the biggest obstacle for the Empire.

No matter how the Empire bombarded it with artillery, irradiated it with laser guns, or used psychic blasts, the protective shield remained undiminished.

Six years ago, the technical monks of the Mechanicus had selected an asteroid. They installed thrusters on this hundred-ton asteroid floating in the universe, eventually forcing the asteroid to leave its original orbit and fall under the gravity of Karenya.

After careful control by the technical monks, the asteroid finally fell towards the Black Water Node. Even after burning, the asteroid still had a mass of more than ten tons remaining. If the asteroid had hit the ground directly, it would have had catastrophic consequences and would have left permanent traces on Karenya.

But when this asteroid, traveling at a speed of several kilometers per second, hit the orc shield in the Blackwater Section, it shattered instantly like an egg falling on a stone.

Today, you can occasionally see some strange rocks scattered in the desert, which are fragments of the asteroid.

Just now, by using orc wizards to detonate the orcs' own psychic energy, the Empire's army tore a huge hole in the orc shield in the Blackwater Festival area for the first time.

But this method cannot be used frequently, because the human side has captured only a dozen orc wizards, and this is the total number of orc wizards captured in the past year. The orc species cannot be imprisoned for too long. When there is no fighting for a long time, these aliens will begin to degenerate and eventually degenerate into small monsters without self-awareness, completely losing their value.

The Sisters of Silence cannot directly sense psychic energy, but after long-term training, they can keenly observe some phenomena caused by the influence of psychic energy on the real world.

And just now, the heads of the orcs outside the anti-psychic field of the Sister of Silence exploded in pieces. If this was not caused by some more powerful unknown force, then there was only one possibility: the Sister of Silence who was sent out successfully detonated the orcs' energy.

The captain of the Silent Sisters guarding the center did not rashly choose to take advantage of this opportunity to advance, but gave the entire human army five minutes to count the number of people and equipment and take a brief rest. During this process, the Silent Sister who was previously sent to lead an orc wizard to detonate the orc waaagh energy also returned to the team, proving the initial success of the operation.

Five minutes later, just when the Sisters of Silence decided to take advantage of this opportunity to break into the Blackwater Section, the Battle Sister Gloria also returned to the main force, but she did not intend to cooperate with the action. Instead, she stood in front of the Sisters of Silence captain with her chainsaw sword.

"You stole my prey!" Gloria, who was in a killing spree, pointed her weapon at the Silent Sister and questioned her.

After this period of fighting, the power armor on Gloria's body became even more damaged, and it was no longer recognizable as armor. It looked like a pile of debris and scrap metal draped over her body. At the same time, the combat nun had several more wounds on her body. The exposed muscle layers at the wounds did not bleed, but instead emitted white steam.

After consuming an orc wizard, the Empire's army finally had the opportunity to launch a surprise attack. At this moment, every minute and every second was more precious than gold, and Gloria's unreasonable behavior would obviously slow down the entire combat deployment.

The Silent Sisters had neither the time nor the energy to explain to the Battle Sister. While Gloria was losing her mind and struggling, the other Silent Sisters had already secretly loaded bullets into their guns.

In this case, a bullet is far more effective than words.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Howard hurriedly spoke to mediate:

"No, Sister. Are you here to fight or to fulfill a mission for the Empire?"

Howard had just said this casually, but the angry Gloria seemed to have been poured a bucket of cold water on her head. She stood there in a daze, with a confused expression on her face.

Seeing that Gloria had no intention of continuing to pester them, the Sisters of Silence had no reason to shoot at her anymore. The Sisters of Silence's captain made a gesture, and the human soldiers moved out silently and swiftly. Rows of Astra Militarum troops and various vehicles bypassed the Sisters of Combat who were standing still and advanced forward, and the Sisters of Combat did not make any attempt to stop them.

Bullets are indeed more useful and efficient than tongues, but this does not mean that tongues are useless. If people can speak properly and not act like riddlers, more than 90% of the bad things in this world can actually be avoided.

When two-thirds of the army had reached the front of Gloria, the battle nun came back to her senses from her confusion. She then slammed her head hard, picked up her chainsword again, and caught up with the advancing human troops.

The killing range of the orc wizard's explosion was so huge that it created a huge circular orc vacuum on the battlefield. All the orcs within this range died, and it would take some time for the orcs outside the range to infiltrate and fill in. The advancing human army only encountered sporadic harassment from orcs, and its advance speed was unprecedentedly fast.

Finally, when the entire human army crossed the orc psychic shield of the Blackwater Section, there were no new casualties in the human army during this advance.

But entering the Black Water Festival area does not mean the end of the mission, but rather means that the real mission has just begun.

In the Blackwater Festival area, the human army has to face orcs who are more numerous, better equipped and more cunningly commanded. Relying solely on these human soldiers who enter the Blackwater Festival area, even if they can achieve a miraculous casualty ratio of one for a hundred and one for a thousand, the impact on the orcs in the Blackwater Festival area will be nothing more than a tickle.

In order to achieve substantial results, a human army entering the Blackwater Section must kill valuable targets instead of wasting its energy on the orc minions.

Among the orcs, the most valuable target is their war leader, also known as the warboss.

The orcs do not have a so-called hive will. Killing the warboss will not cause the orc organization in the Blackwater Section to disintegrate directly. However, when the old warboss dies, the lower-level combat leaders under the warboss will begin to compete with each other for this position. Then, before the new warboss is selected, the orcs in the Blackwater Section will inevitably fall into internal strife, which will greatly weaken the threat of the orcs in this area.

If the orcs really fight among themselves, after waiting for a dozen days or so, when the Space Marines arrive, they can easily eliminate the stronghold occupied by the orcs.

The Sisters of Silence's plan is actually very simple and violent.

That is to clear the way for the Empire's army by continuously detonating the Orcs' psykers until the Orc warboss entrenched deep in the Blackwater Section is found and killed.
