"Planning to use carrier-based aircraft to overwhelm us?"
Irongraspeer, dressed in black armor, stood on the dim bridge, holding the rune sword by his side with one hand and stroking the pale metal skull on the chair with the other, looking at the approaching fleet in the star map, full of inscriptions. A mocking smile appeared on Hen's face.
"Who will obediently play long-distance combat with you? Order all warships 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 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 ancient battleship. Its blueprints appeared even before the founding 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. Be among the best.
And its firepower is equally astonishing, with extremely long-range light spears and bow nova cannons.
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 Kalanswo any time to execute the exquisite layout arranged by him.
As the distance between the two sides quickly shortened,
A fierce hand-to-hand battle ensued.
As the Chaos fleet rushed into the Imperial lines, the light from various 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 fighting. 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 are not ready to give up after suffering a loss. They have sent a new fleet to try to flank the main force of the imperial fleet."
"The situation is clear."
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, and on the other side of the asteroid belt, a A fleet labeled as the Red Pirates is approaching quickly.
"Karansvo was a bit reckless this time. His intelligence work was too poor and 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 being on the ship for several months.
"It's time to confront the traitors."
"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 star system 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 a significant change in the tide. Third Captain, do you know what this means?"
"What?"
"The Red Pirate 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. It is 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.
"Just the boulders, right?"
Farzad's eyes widened. This thing was almost unknown to the Astartes.
"Dark Angel!? They have 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 still has. We don't know how determined the Red Pirates are to intervene in this matter. We also don't know whether a naval battle can End this war? I doubt it."
Farzad stroked his chin, thinking 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. Defense, and we can catch him off guard.”
Farzad nodded, his eyes filled with new enthusiasm.
"I understand, Chapter Master."
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 on the Death Star. If we don't go here, where else can we go?"
Then, he looked at the communications officer and said loudly:
"Send orders to all warships to speed up sailing, target, and dispatch the disaster 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.
