The 2 battleships and 6 cruisers of the Third Army were extremely ferocious, and soon killed the galaxy defense fleet to pieces. More than a hundred ships were turned into rotating ruins in space during the six-hour firefight.
Moreover, the Emperor's Children also sent aircraft to send small groups of jump gangs to unprotected ships, took control of an additional twenty defense ships, and sent a large number of crew members to the capital ships as slaves for consumption.
However, they did not capture those small ships purely for profit.
"My lord, the people from the Third Legion sent a signal, they have a plan -"
"plan?"
Gul narrowed his dim yellow eyes, opened his large mouth full of protruding fangs slightly, and then shook his huge body wearing a Terminator and took two steps.
"Let me see."
Soon the plan from the Third Legion appeared on the dirty screen. Gur looked at it for a while and nodded.
"Okay, then let them take action."
At this moment, dancing green lightning streaked across the empty void, mixed with bright lines of lasers. The energy released exceeded the speed of torpedoes and shells in the blink of an eye, slamming the Terminus with devastating force.
The Terminus immediately shook, followed by a nervous report. Several layers of void shields were penetrated, and two areas were traumatized. The steel was torn, and pus flowed into the void. The fire spread along its decaying hull.
Burns, but as long as the blasphemous magic exists, it can slowly recover.
Gur ignored those damage reports, because it was meaningless. The Avesta had not considered destroying the Terminus first, but this cunning flagship was always protected by the main force of the fleet, just like the leader protected by the herd.
, it is difficult to deal with a lone wolf.
The counterattack followed, and the cannons and light spears of the plague fleet also lit up one by one. These weapons were imbued with Nurgle's evil magic. If a conventional ship was hit, not only would the armor be broken, but deadly viruses would also begin to breed inside.
It is through this unholy magic that the Plague Fleet becomes one of the Imperial Navy's deadliest opponents.
However, most of these blasphemous magics were resolved by the unique energy shield, and the rest only caused some minor scars.
At this time, the battleships captured by the Emperor's Children began to turn around, forming an assault spearhead, and began to charge towards the orbital facilities of Nathan V from another direction. Their goal was also very simple, to directly use the hull to crash into the orbital defenses.
Facilities to facilitate the Third Legion's ships arriving in low orbit to release deadly drop pods.
In the space station, the Chaos Space Marines may not have much presence, but as soon as they land, it will be a catastrophe.
The Avesta therefore faced a difficult problem: whether to withstand the continued pressure of the Plague Fleet, or to intercept the Third Army's assault.
Elena stared at the various information flowing on the huge screen on the cold bridge, until an eye-catching logo lit up.
Then her lips curved into a smile.
"It's exactly the same as the response."
"Master! A signal source has been detected! Unknown ship shape...this-"
Gur moved his huge body and squeezed next to the imaging device, staring at a striking red dot that appeared on the edge of the battlefield, and then its outline was quickly traced and enlarged...
Looking at this unique trident-shaped giant ship, this long-time veteran seemed to think of something, and suddenly roared in surprise:
"How...is this possible! Is this...abyss level!?"
Spewing red engine flames, the huge battleship stabbed the battlefield like an angry trident. It had a silver-plated shell and a huge golden eagle emblem was engraved on the bow. But it was completely different from the imperial battleship.
It does not have a huge macro-cannon array on the sides. Instead, there are three huge twin turrets distributed in the front half along the central axis. This is the final black light cannon of Ulan Huda. This structure makes it different from the Empire.
There are very obvious differences in the battleships. As for the secondary weapons, they are mainly lasers, plasmas and short manned rail guns. There are relatively few live ammunition weapons, mainly to reduce logistical pressure, because the entire hull is densely distributed with more than 18,000 weapons.
Fully automatic point defense weapons, 2,500 small turrets, 1,100 medium turrets and 300 large turrets, especially in the critical fire blind spot area under the hull, Ulan Huda has specially designed a separate fire circle.
In addition to its own powerful firepower, the Abyss-class is also surrounded by seven Hearthborn Ranger-class and Warrior-class battleships, and the target they are pointing at is the Third Legion fleet rushing towards Nessen-5.
When they discovered that an Abyss-class ship suddenly appeared on the edge of the battlefield, the fleet commander of the Third Army was also extremely surprised and immediately made a judgment. If they ignored the launch of the landing, the fleet would probably be severely damaged by the opponent in orbit. Therefore,
For the sake of their own interests, they immediately chose to turn around. Because they lost cover, the captured warships were immediately hit by orbital defense firepower and were blown to pieces halfway.
The two battleships took the lead and faced the onrushing Abyss-class battleships. This type of battleship was relatively secretive even among the rebel legions in the past. However, everyone has heard about it through many years of communication, but it is really hard to see the real thing.
Still shocking.
First of all, it is big, very big, so big that it can make a battleship look like a destroyer.
And then there is the speed. What is very different from its size is that the Abyss-class's straight-line speed is very fast. The engine improved by the furnace technology is at full power, allowing it to go from leaving the subspace to entering the center of the battlefield in less than ten seconds.
Three minutes, it is probably one of the fastest ships currently being cruised by humans in the physical universe.
The last thing is strange, because its style is completely different from most of the ships currently used by the human empire, and it is more like a product of another era.
But the real wonder comes from its terrifying power.
When the two sides quickly approached, the fleet commander of the Third Army formulated an iron-clamp tactic. Two battleships faced it head-on, and other cruisers flanked it from both sides. This is a very classic and very suitable tactic, especially when dealing with a powerful main force.
ship.
But just as the Third Army's fleet was deployed, the Abyss-class radar and fire control system completed locking and firing paths, and then the six black-light cannons on the ship's spine fired a salvo.
In an instant, the light in the entire space seemed to be absorbed. Even on the bridge of the Third Legion battleship, all the equipment seemed to dim for a microsecond. Then five of the six dark matter beams accurately hit the Emperor-class battleship.
Absolutely perfect number.
The thick void shield collapsed layer by layer like a piece of paper pierced by a sharp blade, and then its armor seemed to be severely "digged" by something. A shield with a diameter of more than two hundred meters and a depth of more than two hundred meters appeared in the middle and tail of the ship.
A huge crater of 100 meters, a large amount of gas, metal scraps and unlucky crew members sprayed out from the gap in the ship.
