This person was the Dark Angels Captain who was still in the distance before. Judging from the number of Space Marines under his command, even if the Dark Angels already had a large number of people, he should at least be a Primaris Lieutenant-like figure.
However, apart from a somewhat special winged helmet and that meaningless cloak, no other things that flaunted special status or honor could be seen on this captain... no, not just him.
If you look closely, you will find that the same is true for his close guards, the veterans in the distance, and the like. The armor on their bodies is extremely concise. It is difficult to distinguish the difference between these elites and ordinary Space Marines from the appearance alone.
Is it because of their Sinners' special culture? Or some special reason?
Looking at the tall Space Marine in front of him, Zhang Ge originally wanted to take the initiative to ask, but in the end, the other party spoke first:
"Are you Zhang Ge?"
"Yes, you know me?"
"Got some understanding from them."
After this sentence, the scene fell into silence.
The feeling of talking with the commander in front of him was very strange. From aspects including tone, it was as if he was forcing himself to speak, with a strange dullness.
"So, what do you want from me?"
Strictly speaking, the Astra Militarum and the Space Marines are different command systems. Although the Astra Militarum often willingly accepts their command out of respect for the Emperor's Angels, as far as the regulations are concerned, Zhang Ge does not have to regard the other party as his superior, so his tone has not changed much compared to talking with others.
At the same time, the other party didn't care about this, but after Zhang Ge raised this question, he immediately took the end of his words and said the next sentence, as if he had been waiting for it:
"Can the Titan teleportation be used a second time?"
So that's what he's here for.
"That relic used to teleport the Titan itself is just a spatial beacon. The other end also needs to have a corresponding teleportation device, so even if it can be used a second time, it shouldn't be used here."
This is Zhang Ge's own speculation. Olivia's previous teleportation should have been coordinated with the teleportation equipment on the ship... As for the possibility of other possibilities? Zhang Ge's evaluation is: don't say things that are not conducive to courting death.
After getting this answer, the other party seemed a little disappointed, didn't continue to reply, just nodded, glanced at Amilia again, and then turned and left.
In the dozens of Terran Minutes after this, all the troops still in the sky had basically been deployed to the ground. Thousands of various elite infantry greatly filled the camp, making the originally still empty garrison crowded. Fortunately, these elites were extremely disciplined and did not cause any trouble.
However, in the various tactical meetings held afterwards, everyone found that this did not seem to improve the situation much.
Because their goal was a fortress located in the center of the storm, as mentioned before, the size of this storm is comparable to a small hive city, and the wind is strong enough to blow the heaviest tanks into the sky. Therefore, this storm has become a natural shield for the fortress. Any shells and lasers fired into it will easily disappear into the sand.
Even if they can barely send the vehicles in after turning on the Magnetic Lock, what about after they are sent in? Are they going to counter-cannon with the unweakened shields and armor of the fortress and the garrison inside? That's no different from courting death.
That said, it doesn't seem to make much sense to have a few thousand more light infantry.
As for the air force, perhaps in the case of flying directly to the orbit and attacking from the top down from the Eye of the Storm, a salvo from so many fighters is enough to overload the fortress's shields, but the ammunition of the fighters cannot be conjured out of thin air. After firing one round, there is nothing left, and it's useless to not be able to bite through the armor afterwards.
Even if they can return to the Deadwood Sector to replenish, by the time they come back, the fortress's shields will have already recharged, which is equivalent to wasting ammunition in vain.
Is there really no way?
Suddenly, a voice rang out in the simply furnished conference room:
"It was said before that the wind in the storm is enough to blow up the heaviest tanks, right?"
The Dark Angels Captain sitting in the main seat at this time glanced at Zhang Ge who spoke, and simply replied:
"Yes."
"Then, does that mean the same for shells?"
"Yes, it has all been said before."
"No, you didn't understand what I meant, do you have paper and pen?"
The commander did not reply immediately, but slowly changed his sitting posture, and then signaled the nearby servitor to hand Zhang Ge what he wanted.
On that piece of paper, Zhang Ge first drew a circle to show the storm, and then moved his arm again, drawing a simple line.
This line was not a straight line that directly penetrated into the center of the circle, but after entering the circle obliquely, it continued to rotate inward like a mosquito coil. After circling a few times, it finally reached the center of the circle.
Looking at this simple pattern, the commanders of each regiment and chapter sitting around the table understood what Zhang Ge said in an instant.
Yes, since tanks can be blown away, it means that shells can also be blown away - they can launch large-caliber shells with thrusters in the direction of the storm's wind.
Although the thrusters of these shells are not enough to make them directly penetrate the storm, if they are launched in the direction of the wind, there is no need to waste fuel on maintaining the shell's own flight. In this way, the thruster only needs to slowly adjust the shell's orientation during the process, so that the shell maintains stability while gradually turning to the inner circle during flight, and finally arrives at the center of the circle. This usage is more than enough.
"Hmm... very good, but not enough."
Considering the Dark Angels' nature, if they can be made to praise people, it means that this method has indeed made progress, but as he said, it is not enough.
If they play like this, the shooting accuracy of the shells is predictable.
Even if the air force breaks through the shields in advance and allows these shells to hit the fortress's armor, if the point of impact is too far away, there is no way to deal with those heavy Ceramite Armor walls at all.
However, he still underestimated Zhang Ge's shocking wisdom at this moment.
Zhang Ge showed a smile, then got up and stood on the chair.
In the puzzled gazes of the crowd, he activated the Magnetic Lock on the soles of his feet, causing his feet to make a light sound of attraction to the metal chair.
"I also considered this point... Isn't it difficult to understand what I mean?"
"..."
"That's right, we can let people wearing Jump Packs use the magnetic lock to hang on the shells like this. On this point, as long as the launch time is stipulated, and then let people jump on the launched shells at the moment when the launch time arrives, it should not be difficult to do. After that, they can fly with the shells and adjust the final point of impact of the shells through their own jump packs."
"In this way, the shells can be unified in one position, and the people on the shells only need to disengage before they hit. Even this can help them complete the breakout by the way and enter the gap opened by the shells before the enemy reacts."
Silence extended in these words, and was finally broken when it touched the Dark Angels Captain:
"You are a madman."
"However, so are we."
