Chapter 473, Go straight to Huanglong

Titus was the great chief who unified the Iron Teeth clan and started an earth-shattering 'waaagh'.

It is the dream of all Iron-toothed Greenskins to participate in this mighty expedition with the character of an Greenskin.

What's the point of being in your own nest? The greenskins are tired of the civil war among themselves, so where can there be any fun in going out to fight with Xiami?

This is what most greenskins thought. If Titus' fleet hadn't been able to accommodate so many people, the greenskins in Irontooth's lair would have wished they all followed.

Here we still need to explain what the ecology of green skins is like on these planets that are almost completely occupied by green skins.

Large and small garbage cities, as well as the ecological circle surrounding the garbage cities, are the core environment of green society.

The garbage city is their camp and their factory, and the surrounding ecological circle is the birthplace of the greenskins.

There is no distinction between male and female greenskins. There is a kind of spore in their bodies. When the concentration of spores reaches a certain level, the host's consciousness will become confused, and he will stay away from his tribe and wander alone in the wild.

At this time, the spores are released from the body and lodge in the soil. Afterwards, the greenskins will return to their own clan, and even they themselves don't know what happened at that time.

In addition to natural reproduction, greenskins can also reproduce under other circumstances, and that is when an ork is forced to release the spores in his body - injured or killed. The spores carried in their blood and skin will fly into the air and drift to certain lands with the wind, where they can also take root and germinate.

Of course, the Scroogemon at this stage is not a giant beast, at most it is the size of a wolfdog. They are a source of food and livestock power for the greenskins, and at certain times they are also used for war purposes, such as letting dogs bite people on the battlefield, or helping with explosive packs to carry out suicide attacks.

But they also have some problems, and their warlike blood makes the internal fighting among them completely unstoppable. When an entire area is filled with green-skinned ecosystems and there is nothing else to fight with them, then they will fight on their own.

The entire ecosystem does not require extra nutrients from external sources, ensuring that the orcs will never lack manpower and food resources no matter where they march.

This is a race born for war.

The main use is food. It is true that green skins do not need to eat, but it is obviously better to eat, which will significantly increase their physical fitness and further grow.

Compared with humans, the two sexes need to be combined, it takes up a mother's ten months to conceive, and it takes more than ten years to reach adulthood. Half of the babies that grow are female, which is not a suitable source of troops...

In the third year, the cultivation of fart spirits begins. The cultivation time of a fart spirit is also about half a year.

If there is no leader, there will be fierce fighting between tribes; and even if they are unified under the banner of a leader, the most they can do is contain the overall internal fighting and allow the greenskins to try their best to support their fellow tribesmen. Fighting for a war goal, but it cannot end the individual struggle.

In the four major star regions occupied by the green skins for a long time, the green skins have developed a population of hundreds of billions in just a few decades. For a human being, this would be unthinkable.

As long as there are sufficient nutrients and water, the first batch of green-skinned creatures will begin to be cultivated in the plant ovary at this time: squig beasts.

Although three to five years is a long time, it is already a very scary speed. Greenskins are adults as soon as they are born. They are at least 1.8 or 1.9 meters tall. They are considered short and weak. They are the doormats who will be bullied in the group of orc boys. Normally, they are two meters away from each other. The body is stocky and strong.

A greenskin can't live very long at all, and there is no process of birth, old age, sickness and death. They would compete with each other to create a squad leader. The squad leader would fight with other squad leaders to create a squadron leader... and so on.

Spores in the soil slowly germinate and spread underground, forming countless plant ovaries. This process takes about a year.

By the beginning of the fourth year, serious green-skinned orcs can be cultivated. But overall, the number of green-skinned orcs cultivated is much less than the previous two: squig beasts and grunts. Moreover, the development time of an orc boy in the ovary is as long as three to five years, mainly depending on whether the environment is suitable.

It is also because the green skins will directly carry out the work of passing on the family line when the host dies. This nature existing in the living body makes the green skins only have two thoughts in their minds: beating people and being beaten. This nature also explains why the green skins Tribes are keen on fighting.

Moreover, the green-skin technology is shocking. Those great tech masters can even use their whimsical ideas in their minds to create starships with their bare hands, which is simply outrageous.

What about the greenskins? Regardless of male or female, as soon as they are sown, the land will be covered with green-skinned plants. They will become adults at birth and will have a development period of three to five years. After they grow up, they will be much stronger than normal humans... In terms of the war potential brought by racial characteristics , green-skinned orcs beat humans.

A very brutal and bloody beating.

In the second year, the plant ovary can begin to give birth to some larger squiggly beasts.

It only takes about three months to half a year of growth before the squig beasts will come to fruition in batches.

And those spores that were splashed out are very tenacious. If the environment is not suitable, they can lie dormant for decades, until wind, other organisms, etc., carry the spores to a suitable place for growth, and they will begin to grow.

A green-skinned boy would either climb higher and higher in this endless battle, or die somewhere in the middle.

This also leads to the fact that when an area is full of greenskins, their number will actually reach an upper limit. The carrying capacity of land and nutrients, as well as the infighting of the greenskins, will curb their numbers and achieve a dynamic balance.

According to the estimates of scholars who study green-skinned aliens in the star field, the total number of green-skinned creatures within the four-star area - only the green-skinned boys and grunts, not counting the squig beasts - is estimated to be 1500. Up to 1 million. According to the general ratio of orcs to goblins, which is about 10:150, the number of serious orcs can reach billion.

This number, before the Third Iron Teeth War, was probably only thirty to forty billion. In twenty-six years, their number has increased four to five times, and all the people have become soldiers.

After the rise of Titus, the expedition launched aroused the fierce pursuit of the iron-toothed orcs. During the war, greenskin transport ships kept transporting greenskins away from the four major star regions. The green-skinned orcs also followed the expedition and were continuously spread to various worlds.

During this process, the total number of green skins transported out of the four major star regions may have exceeded 70 billion.

The number of the entire Iron Teeth clan has definitely increased during the past four years of war. Even though they are at war all the time, losing people in cruel battles all the time. On the Eastern Front alone, Gu Hang killed them by the billions. The greenskins will probably suffer losses on other battlefields and on the main frontal battlefields as well.

However, after freeing up a large area of ​​living space within the four major star regions of the clan's home base, their population began to grow explosively; after they took root on various planets, their population also increased.

Of course, the growth contributed by the latter is actually not large, after all, it has only been four years; but in their hometown, where the ecosystem has long been mature, the number of greenskins has increased dramatically.

However, during this process, because the battle line was too large, the green-skinned transport ships never stopped and were constantly transporting the population. As a result, the population of the four star districts in the green-skinned lair was on a downward trend.

But in comparison, the most empty thing in the Iron Teeth Empire is the naval battleships.

Titus is also under great war pressure on the front line. There is a large demand for ground troops and a similarly large demand for naval ships. The ships produced in the giant garbage city of the old lair were almost completed, and they were about to pull a ship full of greenskins and rush to the battlefield.

Now, there are not many green-skinned ships in the four star regions.

that's the truth. When Gu Hang led a third of the alliance fleet and entered the Yinguan star area with a very cautious attitude, the strong confrontation he thought he would encounter did not happen.

Not a few green-skinned ships were seen at all.

There was even a bit of unexpected gain, bombing a few green-skinned transport ships.

Moreover, on White Mist Star, we also received information from the ground: there are still survivors of the expeditionary force four years ago.

When the Star Territory Government assembled its forces to resolve the Iron Teeth Clan's troubles, it not only mobilized the three major fleets within the Star Territory, but also mobilized many Star Militia troops and many people collected from all over the Star Territory. Tax.

Part of the population collected through the human tax was put into various worlds in the Jinguan Star Region to fill the population lost in the war and serve as laborers; another considerable part was put into the world that was recovered by the human army along with the army. On the White Mist Star, Water Mist Star, Silver Pass II and Silver Pass III.

They have built many ground fortresses and fortresses. These four planets were originally planned by the Star Territory Government to be used as a bridgehead for attacking the Greenskin hinterland.

However, the green tide set off by Titus destroyed the star domain government's plan.

But after all, the fortresses and fortresses built, as well as the population and Astra Militarum put on the ground, are real investments.

The war indeed exceeded everyone's expectations. The Northern Fleet was destroyed, and all the personnel dropped on the four planets were lost.

But they still have to stay alive. They can only stand on the spot without space reinforcements and external supplies.

This persistence lasted four years.

For four years, they were unable to obtain any information from the outside. On the same planet, they could only hear every day that this fortress was breached and that settlement was massacred.

More and more places are being lost, and human losses are increasing.

In other words, the greenskins were eager to rush out to fight, and the number of troops they sent to these four planets was not large. Otherwise, none of them would have survived.

Now, on these four planets, there are only one or two million troops and a population of 350 million; on the White Mist Star, which has the largest population, there are 200 million people and more than 10 million human troops.

It is worth mentioning that a considerable proportion of these 'populations' are Koruga people. Before the alliance took over, Koruga had to contribute 400 million people as a tax every two years, so a lot of them naturally filled in here.

Gu Hang accepted all these legacies left behind by the star domain government for the expedition.

He sent an acting governor to each of the four planets, and as commander-in-chief, he collected all the population and troops above and brought them under the banner of the Eastern Theater Command.

Then, according to the template of the Seven Horse Agreement, orbital bombardment destroyed the greenskin's core garbage city and ecological circle, and then deployed the alliance's troops to strengthen the defenses of those fortresses and fortresses, and took the initiative to start cleaning up the greenskins outside. Skin.

After spending about a week sorting out the four planets, Gu Hang continued to lead the fleet forward.

If you go deeper, there will really be no trace of humans.

But it also means that Gu Hang can be more unscrupulous.

He has no intention of sending a single soldier to these planets that are completely occupied by green skins.

no need.

It is completely impossible to occupy these planets. There are as few as two billion, as many as several billion or even tens of billions of green skins on each one. How to occupy them?

Take the power of the alliance, even if it is to throw the power of the entire Seven Horse Agreement to the ground, it cannot be used by the greenskins.

What Gu Hang has to do is to destroy the greenskins' war potential to the greatest extent possible.

Population, Industry and Resources.

Gu Hang would blow up every green-skinned planet. He didn't have time to arrange a fleet to baptize the entire planet. Even if he had time, there wouldn't be so many artillery shells, it would all be money.

However, he can find the largest garbage city and ecosystem on the planet, and then focus on blowing it up.

With the green skin's ability to turn waste into treasure, it won't take long for them to rebuild the garbage city after it has been blown up; those ecological circles have been destroyed, and once the spores are dispersed, they will soon grow back.

However, these also take time.

It will take at least three to five years for the redeveloped green-skinned plant ovary to begin to grow Orc Boy; for those large-scale garbage cities that can even build starships, it will take years to rebuild them to their original scale after being destroyed. Time.

These are all serious losses for the greenskins.

On this basis, the alliance also launched four 'Sky-burning Torpedoes'.

The four places where the weapons of extinction order were released were Qianyuan Star and Yinguan I in the Yinguan Star District, and Exon 5 and Tieguan V in the Tieguan Star District.

These four planets were chosen because their environmental conditions are quite suitable for the growth and development of green skins, and it is estimated that there are indeed nearly 10 billion green skins on them.

Four sky-burning torpedoes went down, and the Iron-toothed Greenskins lost more than 30 billion people!

Even on the Exxon 5, the Alliance also observed that in the largest garbage city on the planet, there was an almost completed greenskin ship that was similar in size to a human battlecruiser!

This is a major surprise and must be eliminated!
