"Planning to flood us with carrier-based aircraft?"
Irongraspeer, who was dressed in black armor, stood on the dim bridge, holding the rune sword beside him with one hand, and stroking the pale metal skull on the chair with the other hand, looking at the approaching fleet in the star map, full of inscriptions.
A sarcastic smile appeared on Hen's face.
"Who will obediently play long-distance combat with you? Order all battleships to use full power. It doesn't matter if the engines are overloaded! Charge forward at full speed! Rush into the enemy's queue!"
As soon as the Black Legion fleet under the command of Iongra Speer broke out of the Adamantium Alloy Domain, it rushed straight towards the Imperial Fleet and struck directly at the core of the Karansvod Fleet like a battering ram.
The Chaos warships, headed by the heavily armored giant ship Ceaseless Wrath, ignored the artillery fire from the Imperial warships and rushed forward like an enraged wild boar.
The Desolationbringer-class battleship is a very old battleship. Its blueprints appeared even before the establishment of the Empire, and many ships were built during the Great Crusade. During the Great Rebellion, at least 5 Desolationbringer-class battleships joined the traitor side.
After the war, the Empire no longer had this type of warship in service, and the Martian Mechanicus also lost the construction technology for this class of ship.
The biggest feature of this type of battleship is its extremely strong armor shell. At that time, void shield technology was not yet mature. Imperial battleships often needed to rely on their own armor to resist enemy firepower. Therefore, the armor thickness of the Desolation Envoy class was also the thickest among many Imperial battleships.
Ranked among the best.
And its firepower is equally astonishing, with extremely long-range light spears and a bow nova cannon.
Therefore, the [Endless Wrath] directly faced the firepower of the Imperial cruiser and attacked fiercely, and ignored the harassment of the Imperial carrier-based aircraft, without giving Karensvod any time to implement the exquisite layout he had arranged.
As the distance between the two sides quickly shortened,
A fierce hand-to-hand battle ensued.
When the Chaos fleet rushed into the Imperial line, the light from various huge cannons illuminated the entire void.
Hundreds of carrier-based aircraft were entangled around the miles-long "Endless Fury", while the escort fleets of the two fleets fought each other at fatal close range.
Karanswo realized that the situation was not good, and desperately ordered the escort ships to disengage and gather around the flagship.
And while the two sides were fighting fiercely, a huge fleet had crossed the asteroid belt——
"The main force of the Black Legion's fleet and the main force of the empire are engaged in a firefight. I'm afraid the situation is not good."
On the command deck of the Eternal Loyalty, the communications officer's voice revealed nervousness. In this galaxy, they can know what is happening on the front line by relying on long-distance wireless signals.
"In addition, the reconnaissance fleet reported that more and more traitors have entered the galaxy. The Red Pirates have suffered a loss and are not ready to give up. They have sent a new fleet to try to flank the main force of the imperial fleet."
"It's obvious."
Soshyan moved his eyes away and stared at the star map. On it was a dynamic map of the galaxy that stretched for hundreds of light years. The symbols of the Imperial Fleet and the Chaos Fleet were mixed together. On the other side of the asteroid belt, a group of
A fleet labeled as the Red Pirates is rapidly approaching.
"Karensvod was a little reckless this time. His intelligence work was too poor. He had no idea about the Black Legion and the Red Pirates joining forces. Even if he could barely repel the Black Legion's fleet, the coming Red Pirates would
It's going to kill him."
"So, we will turn to that place, right, Chapter Master."
The third company commander, Farzad, rubbed his hands excitedly. He was going crazy after holding it in for several months on the ship.
"It's time to confront the traitors head-on."
"That's not the case, Third Company Commander."
Soshyan walked to his command throne and activated one of the control hubs.
A three-dimensional view of a nearby galaxy flickered into action. Soshyan controlled the runes, and the view of the star map expanded, as if the observer had pulled it hundreds of millions of kilometers away.
"The navigators have reported that the storms in the subspace have decreased, and there has been an obvious change in the tide. Third Captain, do you know what this means?"
"What?"
"The Red Pirates' reinforcements have arrived, but so have the Empire's reinforcements."
Farzad blinked and asked with confusion:
"What does this have to do with us?"
"The tidal fluctuations felt by the navigators and think tanks are very special. They are not something that ordinary fleets can emit. It is larger and carries the unique logo of a certain start-up war group. As far as I know, the empire has something similar, except
Outside the mountain formation——"
Soshyan turned around and looked at Talos, who was sitting on a chair wiping his collection.
"It's just the boulders, right?"
Farzad's eyes widened. This thing was almost unknown to the Astartes.
"Dark Angels!? They've blocked the Stone Fortress??"
In fact, Soshyan only said half of what he said. The real confirmation of the news came from Talos's vision. He had foreseen the arrival of the Stone Fortress half a month ago.
Therefore, he advised Soshyan not to participate in the naval battle, because in addition to the Dark Angel, there was also a force involved.
They are much more troublesome than the inquisitors.
"Chapter Commander, what should we do now?"
"If we go to the war, we may be able to win, but what's the point? We don't know how many fleets Abaddon has, how determined the Red Pirates are to intervene in this matter, and we don't know whether a naval battle can
End this war? I'm skeptical."
Farzad stroked his chin and thought about Soshyan's words.
"In my opinion, to really solve this invasion, we must start from the root cause, and the root cause is Abaddon, so why don't we directly find the Great Predator himself before our own power is exposed? He will have nothing to do with it.
Be prepared, and we can catch him off guard."
Farzad nodded, his eyes filled with new enthusiasm.
"I understand Chapter Commander."
But then he frowned again.
"But what if the Dark Angel doesn't arrive in time?"
"I have made arrangements with the fourth company commander. He will be an insurance policy. I will not let the imperial fleet be destroyed."
"That's good...but how can we avoid possible detection and scanning by Chaos?"
Farzad was always concerned with the substantive issues of war.
"The latest jamming devices and covert navigation?"
"Don't worry, we have enough ways to get close to the enemy without being discovered."
"So where will the fleet assemble?"
Soshyan turned around and stared at the void view, then passed a finger through the light emitted by the imaging device and pointed out a planet.
Farzad looked over, blinked, and said:
"Shall we go directly to the Pavilion Star?"
"Exactly."
Soshyan replied softly:
"Abaddon is arranging the Death Star. If we don't go here, how can we go there?"
Then, he looked at the communications officer and said loudly:
"Send orders to all battleships to speed up sailing, target, and destroy the stars! And keep communications silent, and all actions will be based on the flagship signal!"
"yes!"
Soon, the huge Astartes fleet began to turn and headed straight into the depths of the galaxy.
