Chapter 37: Against the Greenskins (2)
The entire contingent of the greenskins was massacred within a few minutes until none of them remained.
"How are the droids?"
Arcturus asked the Red Queen Alice as he was looking around the empty hangar of the space hulk that belonged to the Greenskin pirates. The entire place was littered with several tens corpses of the Orks, which Arcturus observed curiously, as he finished some that were still living.
It was absolutely staggering to see the Greenskins that were skewered by whole bunchs of shots from the high-end lasguns, and yet, they were still living and breathing, some were even regerating.
This prompted Arcturus to think whenever the Orks were naturally evolved species or they weer just result of the experiment by some super adavcned speices. When he though oover it, this should be beyond even capabilities of the Type 3 technology...
To cretre something this frightening like the Orks, and he had just encouted some lowest rungs of their society, there were no Psionicists, not to mention Ork Psykers, none of them were present.
<Combat capabilities of the battle droids are at the 100%. I need to change the layout of the troops a bit, and also adjust the formation to better counter the charge of the Greenskins. They have proved to be more resilient than my estimations.>
Arcturus frowned a bit hearing that, beucase it was nigh impossible to precisely calcualte the resilience of the Greenskins, beucase it was pretty much individual from Ork to Ork.
Though it was generally accepted that their species was phyiscally extrmely strong and could wuithstand tremendous degrees of punishement.
"The best route to advance? Numbers of the hostiles?"
There were several possible routes from the hangar, though Arcturus needed to reach the center of the space hulk, where the leadership of the Greenskin pirates was concentrated.
To obtain the information he wanted, he needed to capture preferably the captain of the pirates and interrogate the create for information if it would be possible.
<Use the door with the painting of the blue skull that one is leading directly to the center of the space hulk. The Orks have started their charge towards this location, I suggest that you let the Battle Droids remain here in fortified position, that way they would be going to their doom.>
Indeed it would.
The Ork kultur revolved primarily around one sole thing, which was some twister version of the Orkish concept of honor and obviously WAAAGH!, nothing more and nothing less.
For the Greenskins there was nothing more cowardly than anything else, aside from charging at the enemy head one. Yes, to many it sounded utterly foolish and idiotic, but for the Orks, charging at the enemy head on, it was considered as utmost honor.
He knew that they would be attacking even the most heavily fortified position at any cost, ignoring their possible loses and injuries, just for the glory of the war and good fight and battle.
<Just to the note, there are approximately 300 Greenskins remaining in the space hulk, and most of them are hading to our position and would arrive in a few minutes. The chances of my vitocry are exactly 87,98%.>
Hearing the confident statement of the Red Queen, Arcturus pondered for a while if he should just leave her the job of killing the Orks or leave for the captain of the pirates.
In the end, he decided to remain here, beucase he knew that there was no possibility of the Orks escaping the space hulk, as their escape modules were destroyed by the Red Queen during the sapce battle and there was also possibity that the captain of these Orks would lead the charge by himself.
He decided to reamin hidden behind the Spider Bastion Battle Droids, while Red Queen controlled the ABD-Spectre MK Battle Droids to miove some scraps of metal and large metla parts that were scattered around the hangar to create provisionary wall.
She was essentially creating some kind of fortifications of the battle droids, so the battle droids could take cover agasinst the Greenskins ranged weapons and guns.
Around three minutes later, Arcturus already heard the footsteps of the Orks marching, like the thundering sky, becasue each Ork Boy weighted several hundred kilograms, so their march was really thunderous and could be heard from the miles away.
Meanwhile his battle droids that were controlled by the Red Queen Alice was combat ready, as they took strategically best position across the entie hangar and aimed at the two of four entracned from which the Orks soon enough started swarming.
The Spider Bastion Battle Droids as the main heavy hitters among the battle droids took their position and readied their maincanon as they starte shooting under the control of the Red Queen.
As all of the battle droids were controlled by the Super Advanced Hyper Artificitial Intellingece Red Queen the efficinecy of the battle droids reached whole new realm, compared to the state when the battle droids were controlled by basic programming or base Artificial Intelligence that was typically installed in their software.
"ROOAAAR!"
"WAAAGH!"
"WAAAGH!"
"WAAAGH!"
Arcturus heard and saw the Orks roaring for the battle or calling the other Greenskins for the WAAAGH, though with each passing moment more and more of them fell to the ferocious barrage from the lasfire from the lasguns of the battle droids.
Among the ordinary Ork Boys, Arcturus suddnely noticed several more peculiar Orks, that were bigger and uglier than their compariots, meaning that they should be also several times stronger.
Not to mention, he felt from the Psionic Energy, albeit the degree was abysmal and at the same time, it seemed that they were controlling it on the subconscious level, it still gave them enough boost in their power.
'They should be at least Delta-Grade Warriors, far above me, but with the subconscious boost from the Psionic Eneegy, they should be comparable to he Gamma-Grade Warriors.'
With a glace he could tell that these three Orks were far stronger than the others and if left unchecked on the battlefield, they would cause serious problems.
If they managed to penetrate through the line and reach the proximity of the battle droids, then, they coiuld start taking out the battle droids one by one.
