"Boss Slick! I'm here! I wiped out the Tyranids in several star systems. I'm not the same as before—I'm stronger now!" Iron Claw told Boss Slick excitedly.
"Reporting, sir! I've completed my mission. I occupied all the systems, whether they belonged to Humies or Tyranids. Since I couldn't reach you, I brought my fleet to reinforce you." For once, even Rambo's usually level voice carried a note of happiness.
The reinforcing Ork Fleet numbered over a million ships... The battlefield was no longer confined to the Ork V side of the system, but encompassed the entire system.
This immediately disrupted the Great Devourer's plans. Even the reserves it had kept in the rear were drawn into battle. Above Euronia III and Euronia II, the Ork Fleet was breaking through the Tyranid Fleet's defenses and deploying vast numbers of Greenskin troops onto the planets.
Battle raged in space and on the ground simultaneously. In space, the Tyranid Fleet could still hold its own, thanks to several rounds of upgrades to its elite forces and the Synaptic World Devourer.
On the ground, however, the Greenskins slaughtered everything in their path. With their powerful Waaagh! Field and the Screw Clan's highly skilled Mekboys, their equipment was downright lavish.
On every planet, there were over three thousand Titan-class Junkyards and Stompas. Every Ork wore Power Armor, and even the Gretchin had basic Power Armour.
Even those basic models were more than twice as good as the armor worn by elite Astra Militarum soldiers.
The Tyranid Warrior Bugs had no answer to an Ork army like this. Large units such as Tyranid Haruspexes, Hive Guard, Hive Tyrants, and Tyranid Primes not only failed to defeat the Orks' Titan Weapons, but could even be overwhelmed and killed by sheer numbers of Gretchin wearing Power Armour.
