In the void between the Kara Galaxy and the Maga Galaxy, there is a dead star. It is marked as KM-1919180 on Angstrom's star map. The note is that it is a delta planet, that is, it has no atmosphere and
Utilize the value of the planetary world.
In addition, the mass of this planet itself is only one-quarter of the standard planet mass (Earth), and it has no rare minerals. If nothing else, it will always be just a speck of dust in the universe.
But now, this dead world suddenly became lively. Various engineering ships and super-large engineering equipment began to move around the planet. Some huge structures were built on the surface of the planet, and various excavators created huge potholes on it.
, as if the industrious ants are making their own nest.
At Soshyan's request, all the forge worlds participating in this expedition invested in the transformation and construction of the planet, and his purpose is very simple. You Huron think your hulk is very powerful, then I will directly transfer one
The asteroid was transformed into a temporary battle fortress. At that time, it would be possible to see whether the hulk or the battle fortress was stronger. Although this idea was inspired by his memories of the past battles with the greenskins.
It stands to reason that transforming a planet-level battle fortress can be an extremely ambitious project, often requiring hundreds or even thousands of years. However, Soshyan does not have high requirements for it. It does not require too many weapons and equipment, only
As long as it can move.
Due to its small mass, this is relatively simple.
So KM-1919180 had a new name, Moon of Destruction.
Soshyan's goal in building the Moon of Destruction was not really to expect it to play any role. He simply wanted to use this action to force Huron out, because he judged that Huron's heart would definitely not be as stable as before after experiencing this series of failures.
, and on the surface, the Imperial Expeditionary Force does still have almost unlimited manpower and material resources. If the Moon of Destruction is really built, then Huron will have no chance of winning even if it builds another useless ship.
However, according to the possibilities calculated by Soshyan and Helbrecht who came to the front line, Huron may not launch a large-scale attack at the beginning, but will send many small fleets to harass and interfere with the construction progress. Therefore, as long as the main force of the empire
If the fleet doesn't move, then the Red Pirates' main fleet will definitely not dare to move either.
So if the main fleet is not used, what should be used to protect the fortress under construction?
The answer is obvious——
Small ships and void fighters.
Soshyan's plan is to defend, delay, and delay Huron until he loses patience and thinks that if he doesn't attack, it may be irreversible. At that time, it will be the moment of decisive battle. At this time, the battle on the Bloody Skull Planet is almost over.
A series of White Scars sub-regiments led by Khan will soon arrive on the battlefield.
In addition, the Eldar are also continuing to monitor the Second Legion. Not long ago, they left the Endymion star cluster and entered the depths of the maelstrom, seemingly heading to Galmyk.
It is possible that Garmo Zejie wants to collude with the Word Bearers. This is something that is very worthy of vigilance. Soshyan has asked Dolar to continue to monitor this group of people, but after all, there are already many people in the depths of the maelstrom.
The space is not suitable for the Eldar to move around, so the surveillance effect will not be very good, but since the opponent's target is the Blackstone Fortress, there is no need to worry about running away.
Sure enough, on the tenth day of the construction of the Destruction Moon, the Red Pirates began to raid. At first, they were just some plundering ships, which were quickly dispersed by frigates and destroyer squadrons. But then some small battleships began to appear, and Huron also learned the lesson.
, he dispatched some specially modified "small aircraft carriers". Each ship can carry a fighter squadron or several chaos dragons, but the victory is that the number is sufficient and the deployment is flexible, which quickly creates a lot of pressure on the defenders.
.
As for where Huron got so many fighter planes and Chaos Dragons, this naturally benefited from the scrap ship factory provided by the mysterious sponsor and the follow-up assistance Huron received after many negotiations.
However, both Huron and Soshyan knew that this battle would last for a while until either side could no longer sit still.
"Sergeant Kano, the flight deck is ready and Rahm Squadron can take off."
Kano nodded with his helmet tucked under his arm. Not far in front of him, a trailer was slowly driving out of the hangar, dragging a huge fighter plane behind it.
Its appearance resembles the ancient Lightning fighter, but it is equipped with a pair of longer and heavier wings and four tail fins, showing a majestic beauty unique to the Astartes. Under the cockpit of the fuselage, there are
A huge engine air inlet, two focused laser cannons at the root of the wing, the polished silver-gray metal shell gleaming in the red light of the hangar, the black-rimmed Double Swords logo dotting its tail fins and wing tips.
It means it comes from the Astral Knights Chapter.
After it stabilized, the servitors immediately pushed the huge ammunition cart over and hung missiles under its wings.
This type of fighter is an ancient variant of the Lightning Fighter, called the Voss Strike Lightning Fighter. Its design can be traced back to the Great Crusade. It was designed by the Great Sage Sykosk Thule of the forging world Vos Prime based on the design of the Lightning Fighter.
Created by stc, it was originally designed and positioned as a fighter-bomber. However, after installing an advanced high-pressure plasma ramjet engine, the fighter became the fastest fighter in the empire during the Great Crusade, allowing it to shoulder air superiority missions and became
It has created a powerful and versatile fighter aircraft that can also be equipped with a plasma shield. When the shield is activated, the fighter aircraft flying at high speed looks like a dazzling plasma comet, and the weapons and ammunition it uses have also been optimized.
Of course, the benefits are not in vain. A series of advanced strengthening equipment have caused the production cost of this type of fighter to skyrocket, almost ten times that of the normal Lightning type. Moreover, the process of the forced plasma ramjet engine is too cumbersome, limiting the production quantity.
, its follow-up maintenance is also very troublesome, making this model extremely rare even in the later stages of the Great Crusade, and is only available to the most experienced Astartes pilots.
As for why it was piloted by the Astartes, it is because the fighter has only one pilot, and it was designed without considering the control limits of ordinary people. Its excessive speed makes it difficult for mortals to control it. Only the superman of the Astartes
Only with physical strength and quick thinking can it display its due combat capabilities.
When the Voss Strike Lightning fighter was discovered in the armory of the Eleventh Legion, Soshyan was not happy, because according to the time, when this type of fighter was developed, the Legion had already perished, so how could it appear in the ordnance again?
What about Curry?
There is only one explanation. After the Legion was destroyed, there were still people who replenished the Avesta with ordnance. So who could it be?
