700 Traces of Revenge(1/2)
The Scar of Vengeance asteroid belt, the assembly point of the Tyranid Empire fleet.
This is a dangerous star area composed of millions of asteroids, with extremely high density. At the same time, there are many large boulders and debris flying aimlessly at speeds of hundreds or even thousands of miles per hour. Among them
Only a small portion of the orbit has been accurately measured by Imperial astronomers.
When sailing in this dangerous star area, if you are not careful, the ship will be destroyed and people will be killed, and there will be no return.
It only takes a precise scan to discover the countless wreckage of spacecraft scattered in the Trace of Vengeance asteroid belt. The owners of these ships are all interstellar gold diggers who came for the crystal mines that were shattered by impact in the asteroid belt, but
Greed, stupidity and bad luck cost them their lives here.
But this is the risk that must be taken when mining in dangerous areas. There is nothing to say. There are places with more risks than here.
"Why does Moebius's secret base have to be built in such a horrible place?"
Amidst the sound of the servo drive running, Tychus lowered his power armor helmet, revealing his fierce face with flesh and wrinkles.
There was an obvious burn mark on Tychus's right cheek, which was left during his rescue mission on the surface of Jera. He single-handedly killed more than forty Moebius rebels, and even recovered from a collapsing building.
He rescued several civilians in the shopping mall, Captain Tyron.
In the past, Tychus was just a bastard whose life and death had nothing to do with me. Now, under the influence of Augustus and Renault, he would do some human things. After all, even Tychus has to face some shame.
"Otherwise why is it called a secret base?" Renault asked rhetorically.
"I've wanted to ask before, damn Jimmy, are you still a genius?" Tychus slowly lit a cigar.
The mission of the Moebius Corps is to search for the Xel'Naga ruins outside the known boundaries of the Koprulu Sector and search for the holy relics and artifacts in them. At the same time, they also shoulder another responsibility, which is to find hidden hybrid factories and hunt for them.
These terrible monsters.
It is conceivable what kind of risks the Moebius Legion has to take, so it is understandable that they will get better equipment and better treatment. As long as they can survive the dark age of the final battle, their identities will be made public
, become a hero.
For this reason, the Moebius Corps has many such secret bases, but this one in the Scar of Vengeance asteroid belt is the largest and most important one among them.
Renault stared at a huge rock much larger than a space engineering vehicle that was passing by at high speed from the observation window of the Hyperion. His eyes flashed with the bridge lights reflected from the ice crystals of the giant rock: "Thank you, Tychus.
, I have never met such a selfless person as you in my entire fucking life.”
"Meeting a good person like me has used up all your luck in your life, so you always lose money at the card table." Tychus exhaled a puff of smoke and said.
"Hank, Zander and Ward will tell you, I always win." Reno shrugged.
"..." Tychus snorted and glanced at a boulder that flew past the observation window on the right: "I bet that the rebels of the Moebius Corps will definitely be among these damn asteroids.
Set up an ambush in between."
"It's hard to say," Renault said, "unless they're crazy."
"We are all well aware of their mental state." Tychus clicked his tongue: "Some people feel that they are still loyal to the empire, while others have become real murderers."
"You know, they're madmen, and madmen can do anything. I'm sure they'll launch a surprise attack before we get to their lair."
He continued: "I saw a lot of these lunatics in Gela, they were completely crazy."
At this moment, in the three-dimensional scanning image on the Hyperion star chart platform, a huge asteroid belt has appeared.
The Trace of Revenge asteroid belt is the remains of a planet named Revan II after it was shattered. It is located at the edge of the Milky Way with sparse light spots, dark and mysterious.
It is very dangerous to pass through the dense asteroid belt, especially for a large battlecruiser. The asteroid passing by at high speed is no less than a giant cannonball. The terrifying relative speed between the asteroid and the battleship makes the Hyperion
The ship's route turned into a near-death adventure.
Generally speaking, if you want to pass through this asteroid belt, you can only proceed along a known safe channel that has been accurately measured and positioned with coordinates. This channel is also too narrow for a large imperial army, making it difficult for all parties to move forward.
It is difficult for battleship groups to expand on a large scale on a cosmic scale, and their formations will also be too dense.
This Moebius secret base was originally built by the Tyranids, so this only safe route is public information for both Renault and the rebel Moebius Corps.
If Raynor orders the fleet to advance along this safe route, it is likely to have to face a large number of space mines and electromagnetic pulse weapons, and the Moebius Legion rebels and their hidden allies in "Scar of Vengeance" may destroy the Empire.
The fleet is surrounded here.
However, Renault has never been a person who plays by common sense.
At present, the huge ship shadow of the Hyperion is rapidly sailing into the Scar of Vengeance asteroid belt, following another darker and more dangerous route deep into it.
Every time it travels a certain distance, more and more asteroids pass by the portholes. Some asteroids can reach dozens or hundreds of miles in diameter. Even though they are still far away from the Hyperion, they seem to be separated by
A galaxy, but it is really not worth mentioning on the scale of the universe. The navigator may make fatal mistakes if he is not careful.
Even if a huge ship like the Hyperion collided with it, the consequences would be no less than if the Titanic hit an iceberg.
The trajectories of asteroids in this area are more disorderly and unpredictable, so from time to time asteroids collide with the Hyperion, but the sizes of these asteroids are expected. As the Hyperion moves,
The combined turrets spurted out streaks of orange-red flames, and they were immediately reduced to powder by the terrifying firepower of the battleship, and the remaining debris was not enough to penetrate her shields.
At the same time, three rows of Gorgon battlecruisers, arranged in a row of twelve ships, followed closely behind the flagship Hyperion, using the powerful firepower they were proud of to clear out the asteroids blocking their way.
Large expanses of interstellar dust that turned everything into a fog.
Following this is a large formation composed of more than 400 conventional Minotaur-class battlecruisers, followed by more than 30 Gorgons. The battleships in front clear asteroids on the way, and the following battleships
Then there is no need to waste energy and ammunition to deal with these dangerous huge rocks.
These crushed interstellar dust can also interfere with the detectors of the Moebius Legion fleet to a certain extent, making it an excellent fog. Before the Moebius people could react, Renault's fleet must have arrived all the way to their home.
door.
"I like this move," Tychus said. "It's direct enough."
"Open the way with artillery fire." Renault nodded: "When we started the revolution, I had already wanted to do this."
Unknowingly, the Korhal Revolutionary Army, which started out as just a Hyperion, has transformed into the most powerful armed force of a huge interstellar empire. The Tyranid Empire now has sufficient strength to fight against threats from alien forces.
In the face of this powerful force, the previous federal revival movement organizations also became clowns.
Renault has not forgotten that during the most difficult time, they could not even afford to repair the Hyperion, so many facilities and systems had to be decommissioned.
Renault understands this very well.
Waves of dazzling flashes from the explosions impacted Hyperion. Along the road opened by the artillery fire, the Tyranid Empire fleet with the Hyperion as its flagship sailed all the way to the depths of the Scar of Vengeance asteroid belt without encountering any encounters.
To the battleship of Moebius Corps.
But thinking about it, as the Imperial fleet is getting closer and closer to the core of the Trace of Vengeance, they may have noticed it now based on their reaction speed.
At this time, Renault could already clearly see the huge black shadow of the Moebius base of the Trace of Vengeance, which was a huge rock covered with platinum gold and bronze metal.
On top of the giant rock, buildings with fluorescent blue lights and intimidating turrets continue to extend outward along its irregular surface. The new steel structure stretches upward from the central core, like a giant's hand taut.
Its fingers are firmly grasping several smaller asteroids around it to serve as ports and platforms for the base.
The Mobius base in Scar of Vengeance is a military facility transformed from a natural celestial body. It is extremely majestic. The concrete and steel used to build it are enough to build a thoroughfare between Augustgrad and the main city of Aurora.
Not only that, the Scar of Vengeance base is also a large-scale movable man-made platform. Its main structure is hidden in the asteroid with a diameter of more than a hundred miles to connect to the wide mobile platforms. Although most of the time these platforms are
They are fixed at their original locations, but according to safety protocols, these platforms can be moved at any time to areas rich in crystalline mineral veins and high-energy gases.
I have to say, this is a genius initiative.
When the Hyperion was closer to the Moebius base, Renault could see the three huge energy cores located between the majestic buildings, and feel the nuclear fuel reactors, heat exchangers and thousands of
The terrifying power surging out from tens of thousands of alloy pipes.
"It's really spectacular." Tychus rarely commented on these boring facilities: "It would be better if there was a swimming pool in there - these bastards really know how to enjoy it."
"Sir, rebel warship detected!"
Suddenly, the Hyperion's sensors frequently issued early warnings. At the same time, a large number of Moebius battleships jumped in, and the towering bows of the extremely oppressive ships were like mountains pressing down on them.
Like a violent storm, as soon as they appeared, these crazy Moebius Legion battleships opened fire on Renault's Imperial fleet without hesitation. The turrets like a forest kept spewing out terrifying tongues of flames, and the dazzling flames splashed from battleship to battleship instantly disappeared.
Together, they remind people of the red clouds sweeping across the sky and the flames sweeping across the earth.
Groups of Viking fighters, Ice Dragon fighters, and Wraith fighters took off from the star port of the Scar of Vengeance base, guarding the larger transport ships and landing craft with thicker armor.
The attack of the Moebius Corps is crazy and regardless of the cost, and its terrifying determination and fighting will are chilling. At all times, a large number of Moebius fighters and transport ships full of Marines are being concentrated before trying to get close to the Imperial warships.
The barrages broke them into pieces, but they still tried desperately to board the enemy ships.
"Abandon your own battleship and board the ship directly for combat?" Tychus was not surprised at all: "Very good, let them come to the Hyperion."
"Even if these bastards kneel down and beg for mercy, I will beat their faces to pieces."
The cruel scene of Gera left a deep impression on Tychus. He saw with his own eyes the crazy Moebius army slaughtering civilians wantonly on the burning streets, whether they were old, weak, women, children or livestock, as long as they were
Living animals, they won't even let go of a dog.
Even Tychus felt that this was truly beyond human ability, and was extremely angry.
In other words, when those Moebius Legionnaires truly surrendered to the will of the hybrid, they would no longer be considered human beings.
"A hybrid of a new breed?" Renault raised his eyebrows.
"It's getting uglier." Tychus said menacingly.
Mixed among these Moebius Legion battleships is an unprecedented hybrid. They look somewhat similar to the rotten flying insects of the insect swarm, but they have protoss heads and bodies that emit a faint blue light.
Light Wings. This hybrid can fly in the universe, and can also spit an annihilation beam that can corrode the armor of battleships, and its destructive power is astonishing.
"Marshal, enemy warships are sending communications to us through unencrypted channels." A communications sergeant on board the Hyperion reported to Renault.
To be continued...
