Chapter 91 The King of Raptors appears, Krieg is advancing!
"I..."
After realizing it, Joseph hesitated to speak, but in the end he calmed down and focused on the battle in front of him.
"Pay attention to the angle of contact with the enemy! Attention all captains! Adjust the posture laterally to 15 degrees with the vertical axis standard! The height remains unchanged and the deflection remains unchanged! The void shield energy is tilted towards the even-numbered units, and be ready to counterattack at any time!"
"Yes!"
The other commanders on the other side of the screen were immediately involved in issuing orders to the warships they were responsible for.
It was only then that Joseph had time to look at the adjutant, deliberately took off the communicator and said:
"Is the fleet communication document just now classified as a confidential document?"
"...is"
"Is my secret level enough?"
"Enough..."
"Then..." Joseph raised his eyebrows at his adjutant, indicating that you understood.
"Understood, go back and send a copy to your cabin for record."
The adjutant rolled his eyes cryptically, and then agreed to his chief officer's occasional unreasonable requests.
The Chaos Fleet's bombardment continued, but after fifteen difficult minutes, the battleship, which was covered in scars but in acceptable condition, was once again covered by the void shield.
The Northern Fleet withstood the tremendous pressure and still maintained its predetermined posture under the salvos of the Chaos Fleet, without deviating throughout the entire process.
The Chaos warships, which had no chance to close the distance and engage in gang-hopping, could only fire more angrily at the stubborn enemy opposite them.
But little did they know that inside the Melmoth system where all members of their fleet had just left, the Manzeville point used for the large fleet's jump had changed.
"Where is the frigate? Let those bats and Sons of Fulgrim board the ship and prepare! After the next round of strikes, I want to watch their landing torpedoes and landing craft pierce that battleship!"
Hydera, who had taken over the supreme command, roared with a livid face. The enemy's resilience and malicious tactical intentions made him extremely annoyed.
The pressure from Malus' direction also made him feel that he was facing the risk of failure in his mission.
He had lost the patience to struggle with Joseph and planned to let his Chaos Space Marines force a landing and fight under the enemy's fire.
Ignoring the ugly expressions of the Astartes representatives who came to contact the two war gangs.
"Sir, the enemy ship's artillery fire is so fierce. Without clearing out the opponent's anti-aircraft firepower, if we rashly launch a landing, will the gain outweigh the loss?"
Representatives of Fulgrim's Sons questioned Hydra. They did not trust this mysterious man from the Alpha Warband from the beginning;
If it weren't for Warmaster Abaddon's authoritative suppression, they would never have responded to the other party's call and traveled all the way to the remote village of Orps to fight the empire.
Hydera raised her head and looked deeply at the friendly envoy under the throne, her slender eyebrows and eyes were tightly slit, and she was not in a hurry to answer.
The war has developed to this point, and this high-level legion belonging to the Black Legion no longer has any scruples.
Anyone who dares to disrupt his military morale at this time and try to challenge his authority will only get one end.
Boo!
A blast of plasma melted the son of Fulgrim's gorgeous purple-feathered helmet, turning it into liquid that evaporated from the gap the size of the helmet's bowl, along with its owner's brain and skull.
Hydra looked expressionless as she watched her bodyguard slowly put away the plasma pistol.
He turned to look at the Night Lord on the other side, raised the corners of his mouth and asked the Chaos Space Marine who was standing there blankly:
"Do you have any more questions?"
"Your will."
The Night Lord lowers his head to show submission to his authority.
A shot fired at his colleagues finally made the envoy understand the current situation. Whoever dares to hesitate at this moment will be the mortal enemy of the poisonous snake in front of him.
And if you still dare to bargain, the other party will definitely send them to hell before you are dragged to death.
"Then get ready."
Hydera's cold voice came from the corner of her mouth, and she no longer paid attention to the envoy in front of her.
The purpose of false respect and goodwill is only to enable his orders to be implemented, but not to be truly weak;
When it comes time to use troops, who dares to be as confused as the son of Fulgrim before? Hydra will not mind using cold explosives to tell them what the cruelty of Hydra is.
The deafening sound of artillery is still ringing rhythmically from the direction of the fleet;
In Hydra's eyes, he was still biting the opponent's fleet's tail.
The news from other ships that the Chaos Space Marines were ready also allowed Hydra to calm down its anger a little.
But just when the end of the entire fleet was about to leave the Melmoth 5 system, it was entering the golden distance of the battle with the Northern Fleet, which was turning to the right.
The Manzeville point from behind the fleet suddenly flashed, and a large-scale jump phenomenon appeared behind Hydra!
"Abnormal gravitational field index! Emergency avoidance!"
The shrill siren sounded violently in the second half of the fleet!
Hydra watched as the battleships in the second half of the fleet were breaking away from the formation.
The main body of firepower of the fleet composed of Hellfire-class heavy cruisers and the escaping team of frigates intersected in confusion, and the distance between them even touched the minimum value allowed by the Meditator Servo!
No chaos!
At least at this time!
Hydra suddenly stood up, wanting to do something about the abnormality in the fleet.
But just when his voice was about to blurt out, the Star Fortress Raptor King, the core of the Krieg fleet, suddenly appeared!
This astral fortress, which is several times the size of a battleship and can be called a small celestial body, suddenly appeared from Manzeville Point on Melmoth 5.
And it was obviously premeditated to use the repulsive force of the subspace breach to jump towards the edge of the galaxy!
Bounce! Bounce! Bounce!
Seeing this huge interstellar fortress being used so violently, Hydra's eyelids began to twitch.
He could even imagine that under the fierce repulsion, instead of turning on the engine to push back, the Star Fortress would jump forward with full thrust, how much damage it could cause to the main body of the fortress!
What a prodigal! Even in the era of the Great Crusade, there was no such barbaric use of an interstellar fortress!
But are those crackling sounds transmitted across several astronomical units to the bridge where he is really coming from the groans of the interstellar fortress?
Of course not!
Hydera looked at a warship overlapping with the Raptor King in the distance, and her face suddenly turned pale:
That was the sound of the King of Raptors using his own void shield and folding force field shield to stack up defenses and crushing the Hellfire-class heavy cruiser "Wrath" at the end of the fleet!
The four Hellfire-class heavy cruisers are the strongest point of firepower and defense in the Chaos fleet besides the flagship, and they have always been the cornerstone of the fleet's existence.
And such a powerful battleship was actually crashed right in front of him by the enemy in the most brutal way without firing a single shot!
"How dare you, rat!"
But something even more frightening happened.
After the Star Fortress violently jumped forward, seven breaches appeared again at the jump point that was firmly covered behind him!
The Northern Fleet's previously uncharacteristically bellicose behavior instantly reappeared in Hydera's sweaty brain!
He turned violently and looked at the Northern Fleet, which had adjusted its posture dozens of astronomical units away and was facing him in the optimal broadside direction for releasing firepower.
A horrifying fact was placed in front of him: he was surrounded! This was a premeditated siege!
