Chapter 669, Defeat of the Northern Front Army

Qin Zhiping is sure that this is the biggest challenge in his career.

After joining the Anti-foreign Tribunal and becoming an inquisitor who specializes in fighting alien enemies, he cannot be said to have risen to the top, but at least he has been promoted step by step.

He does not have any special background, he is just lucky - or unlucky.

Qin Zhiping always encounters some particularly serious alien incidents, but they are all resolved smoothly in the end.

Although he paid the price of an eye, three fingers on his left hand, and the entire right arm, in the social environment of the empire, when his identity and status are improved, these physical injuries are not a problem. Installing mechanical prostheses and artificial eyes can solve the problem, and it may be better than the original ones. If there are some requirements for appearance, then in addition to the mechanical limbs, a layer of finely crafted bionic skin can be put on, so that it can look no different from a normal person from the outside.

Of course, ordinary people are not worthy of such a set of things. However, when Qin Zhiping made a great contribution in these serious but successfully resolved alien incidents, he was promoted all the way. As a rising star in the Anti-foreign Inquisition, the problem of not being able to afford or not being worthy of buying was solved.

As the backbone of the Inquisition, he led a whole group of loyal stormtroopers with many assistants who had cooperated with him for the longest time, and also equipped them with many assistants of inquisitors... In this way, a team with top strength was formed, as one of the backbone forces sent by the Anti-foreign Order to the Northern Front Legion.

In other words, when Marshal Leroy, the commander-in-chief of the Northern Front Legion, held a high-level military meeting, Qin Zhiping's identity was enough to sit in and listen.

When the Western Front Legion reorganized and beat the Iron Armor without a trace, all the support from the North Front was in place. Some regiments sent more Space Marine companies, the Black Crusaders sent a full fleet, and more Silver Watch of the Anti-foreign Order arrived on the battlefield... All these greatly increased the strength of the Northern Front Legion.

They did indeed win crucial victories in Lefo and Jianmen star fields with great momentum, annihilating the main forces of the Zerg that had been entangled with the Northern Frontier Legion for several years in those two star fields.

After ensuring that there were only some local Zerg threats on the planets in their rear, and that there were no enemies in space that could harm them on a large scale, the Northern Frontier Legion crossed the border with great vigor and entered the Huangnu Star Field.

At that time, from Marshal Leluwa to Qin Zhiping and ordinary soldiers, they all believed that they would win the biggest medal in this major rebellion war in the eastern border of the empire.

Then, the infected people in the rear were collectively eaten and digested, and the Zerg that was originally thought to be scattered on various planets and posed no threat to the space army, "ascended to heaven".

If the infected parts of a few worlds were digested and ascended to form hive ships, that would be fine, not a big deal; but if there were hundreds or thousands of worlds like this, even if the amount of biomass gathered on a single planet was not large enough, it would be terrible when gathered together.

More importantly, it was meaningless to turn back at this time. They could not disperse the enemy before they reunited. If another group of enemies rushed out of the Queen Star Domain, they would be caught in a pincer attack.

Qin Zhiping really did not expect that the speed of falling from heaven to hell would be so fast.

At this point, there was no choice.

They could only bite the bullet and continue to rush into the core area of ​​the Queen Star Domain, hoping to occupy Reyaduches, win the decisive battle with the Hive Fleet, and eliminate the Queen. In that case, they would not only be able to resolve the crisis, but even turn defeat into victory. At that time, the "biggest medal" would still be on them.

With such a "fantasy", the shadow of the subspace enveloped them, and they lost contact with the outside world.

Then, after arriving at Rhea Duchess, they began to attack the planet fiercely.

At the beginning, their actions were relatively smooth.

They even found traces of the Queen of Worms!

Qin Zhiping suggested to directly launch the extinction order weapons at that time, even if it would cause the troops that had already landed to be buried with them.

However, Leroy did not approve his suggestion.

He had deployed more than 3,000 Space Marines on the ground, including 1,500 Black Crusaders, and even warriors from the Infinite Regiment and the Bat Regiment, the founding regiments. He couldn't bear to do such a thing that would also hit his own regiment, and he was also worried that he couldn't afford to offend the two founding regiments.

Another major factor was that the enemy's anti-orbital firepower and anti-aircraft firepower were not destroyed. They didn't have enough extinction order weapons, and if they were launched blindly, the probability of being intercepted was extremely high. If more were intercepted, they would be useless in the future.

Le Luwa decided to first take down several orbital cannon fortresses occupied by infected traitors, then exterminate several anti-orbital bio-cannons of the Zerg, and then withdraw some ground troops, at least the Space Marines, and then use the extinction order weapon for a try.

Until now, Qin Zhiping was very angry that Le Luwa did not listen to him and just released it.

Although the probability of the extinction order weapon being intercepted is as high as more than 90%, they have 15 in reserve, so they will bomb and smash it, just bet on this probability. As long as it hits and the Zerg is exterminated, the war will be over!

In the face of huge benefits, it is totally worth a gamble!

But the subsequent developments perfectly illustrate the ancient Terran proverb that "Opportunities are rare and never come back".

A powerful Hive Fleet, gathered from all over the Princess Star Region, has been formed and arrived at Readuches.

At this stage, the North Line Legion soon lost in the orbital battle for Readuches. Although their fleet is also large, it is impossible to be beaten by a large-scale Hive Fleet under the orbital firepower of the planet. It is impossible to win by attacking from both sides.

After giving up orbital rights, not only did they lose the opportunity to launch extinction weapons, but the ground troops could not withdraw.

The North Line Fleet also tried to tangle with the Hive Fleet. Even if the ground troops could no longer easily call for orbital support, at least they should not let the biological ship guns of the Zerg hit their own ground troops.

However, even this was soon impossible.

They failed in the space battle.

As the space naval battle became fierce and cruel, the morale of the human fleet collapsed. The first to collapse was the joint fleet of several star domain governments sent by the Devouring Star Universe. Many of their ships took advantage of the war and escaped from the edge.

Regardless of whether they escaped in the end, this set a very bad example!
