The Rend Stand is extremely lethal to humans who are not commonly equipped with ion shields. This wide-ranging stance is capable of tearing apart unshielded intruders at the molecular level.

Although the attack that tears apart the stand is unstoppable, the battleships of the expeditionary force have one advantage, that is, their thick armor. With their thick ceramite shells, the warships can withstand the tearing of the stand until the naval gun destroys the stand launcher.

Soon, the four Sword-class frigates in the expeditionary fleet approached the outermost tearing position. As the command ship of the escort fleet, the Valor was the first to break into the scope of the tearing position.

As soon as it entered the Rip Stand, the twisted gravity immediately began to shatter the outer layer of the Ceramic Armor of the Valiant, but the process of crushing was slow. Against this tear, the escort fleet continued to approach the stand launcher.

Tal'darin built a photon turret on the surface of Xel'Naga's abandoned ship and immediately began to attack after detecting the Valor.

The blue photon cannon shells hit the purple void shield, causing ripples. A simple photon turret attack cannot threaten the frigate's void shield.

"The Blasphemer's warship is approaching, gather our ships quickly." After discovering the expeditionary force's intentions, the Tal'darim began to gather all their current ships for a fight to the death.

As for the reinforcements of the Death Fleet, the sages of the Adeptus Mechanicus began interference operations the moment the Expeditionary Force fleet appeared. It would take at least a day to contact Slane, not to mention that Slane was not sure yet.

Reinforcements will be sent.

One day is enough for the expeditionary force. The Valiant and his fleet have already brought the tearing stance generator into range. Following the captain's order, the four light macro cannons on the port side of the frigate instantly fired a round of volleys.

shoot.

The high-explosive shells hit the stance generator, and the violent explosion directly broke the entire generator in half. Without the stance generator, the tearing stance in this area disappeared directly.

"Very good, our strategy worked." Seeing that the tearing position disappeared, Horus threw all the battleships except the flagship into action.

The battle group consisting of two Duty-class light cruisers and six Firestorm-class frigates was fully engaged in the battle for Xel'Naga's abandoned ships. At this time, Tal'darin's ships had already assembled.

Although there were only three void glow ships and a few squadrons of reconnaissance aircraft, this group of Tal'darin still devoted themselves feverishly to the battle with the expeditionary force fleet.

Horus frowned when he observed three Void Glow Ships. He had underestimated one Void Glow Ship, which may have changed the outcome of the battle.

"Order the Duty-class cruisers to enter the battlefield as quickly as possible. We must reduce the losses of the vanguard fleet as much as possible."

Tal'darin, who had the advantage of taking the lead, directly launched a concentrated fire attack on the Valiant, which was at the forefront of the vanguard fleet. Three blazing beams directly hit the frigate's void shield and overloaded it. Even the sword-class with strengthened defense could not

Resist the attack of the Void Glow Ship.

"Our ship's void shield has been overloaded. It will take three minutes to recharge. The main armor plate has received a fierce attack and is expected to be destroyed in one minute and thirty seconds." The mechanical priest on the bridge of the Valiant kept warning.

"Damn it, all the energy in the reactor supplies the propulsion system, let's just ram it into it." Seeing that his battleship was about to be destroyed, Captain Taylor of the Human Empire world directly ordered it to ram it into it.

"The whole ship is ready for impact."

The Valiant, with its plasma engine turned to maximum, headed straight towards a Void Ray ship whose ion shield had been overloaded by other Sword-class frigates. Tal'darin, who had never expected humans to have such courage, was caught off guard by this blow.

.

The Void Glow Ship, which had no time to dodge, was hit by the Valor. One of the energy amplifiers was broken off by the adamantine horn, and the Glow Ship's elastic alloy hull was directly hit and dented.

On the bridge of the Valor, Captain Taylor, who was hit by a ruthless man, recovered his nerves and immediately asked, "How is the situation of the Valor? What are the crew casualties?"

The prosthetic eye of the mechanical priest on the bridge flickered for a few times before he said: "Our ship was seriously damaged, the armor was broken, the reactor stalled, thirty-one structures were damaged, the machine soul was unhappy, and the crew casualties are estimated to be 20%."

Hearing that the situation of the Valiant was so bad, and after taking a look at the Void Glow ship that seemed to be able to activate after being hit, Captain Taylor gritted his teeth and said, "Arm up the sailors, board the shuttle, and jump in directly."

On the battleship we hit!"

"This is not the best choice, Captain Taylor. Your choice is expected to result in more casualties among the crew."

"I will not let that damn red alien battleship return to battle," Captain Taylor picked up his laser pistol and power sword, "Soldiers, prepare to join the gang and fight!"

"Hoo!" The crew members were inspired by the captain who took the lead. They rushed into the shuttle that was supposed to be used for normal transportation with laser rifles and void survival equipment, and then drove these unarmed aircraft from the void glow ship's breakage

Enter through the mouth.

Just after the shields of all battleships in the Vanguard Fleet were overloaded, the Duty-class cruiser finally engaged the Katalin Fleet. The gun firepower of this light cruiser was comparable to that of conventional cruisers. The four macro-cannons on both sides were in order.

projecting firepower on the Tal'darim fleet.

After being attacked by numerous human warships, Tal'darin finally couldn't hold on any longer. Multiple reconnaissance aircraft squadrons that entered the battlefield were attacked by dense anti-aircraft turrets on the frigates before they had time to engage the human carrier-based aircraft.

The flames and fragments of the explosion shattered these air superiority fighters after overloading the reconnaissance aircraft's shields.

The other two Void Glow ships were hit by torpedoes launched by the Duty-class light cruiser. The high-explosive torpedoes directly destroyed the energy expansion position on the Glow ships. One of them was unlucky enough to be melted by the thunder and hit by a bloody crystal.

The overloaded energy directly blew it to pieces.

After gaining the advantage in the space naval battle, the escort fleet pursued the victory and destroyed several stand-removing launchers in succession.

After clearing the torn positions on the Xel'Naga abandoned ship, the expeditionary force's marines officially entered the battle. In order to clear out the enemies on the ship as quickly as possible, Horus deployed nearly a thousand Space Marines at a time to clear out the Tada.

Lin's threat.

These fanatical believers still resisted after the defeat of the space station. They continued to fight back with the help of the remaining defense equipment on the Xel'Naga ships. However, as the Space Marines continued to compress their living space, the Tal'darin Archon finally became angry.

Burnt to ashes by heat.

At this point, the battle for the artifacts in the Sigma Quadrant came to an end. The expeditionary force not only obtained the intended Xel'Naga artifact fragments, but also obtained the entire Xel'Naga abandoned ship.
